109. The king and the loser
This chapter is a mobile phone code, it's so painful...
-
Real Madrid in history was eliminated by Lyon this season and was terminated in the first round of the Champions League knockout for the sixth consecutive year.
Now they have changed an opponent, but they still haven't changed the ending.
Real Madrid fans are recognized as the most picky. Three years ago, Capello led them to win the first league championship after many years, but was unanimously criticized because of his overly pragmatic and utilitarian style of playing football. He eventually had to be dismissed after winning the championship.
The white scarfs in the hands of Meilingges will instantly turn into life-stricken ropes when the team performs poorly!
When the sky was booing over the Bernabeu stadium, white handkerchiefs and scarves were flying around, everyone already knew:
They're finished!
This is no longer their home court!
For Real Madrid players, this is hell!
How could we lose to a Dutch team?!
How could there be a damn track and field athlete on their team?!
This must be a nightmare!
Let this nightmare end soon!
-
"Drip, drip, drip..."
The players' nightmare is finally over, but Pellegrini's nightmare has just begun.
Before the Real Madrid coach could enter the press conference, he was blocked by reporters in the mixed interview area on the sidelines.
"Real Madrid has been in the quarterfinals for six consecutive years. The two Golden Ballers attracted by Florentino's high price did not show enough in the two rounds of matches. May I ask Mr. Pellegrini, what is the difference between Florentino and Calderon's era in this way?"
The reporter even laughed: "Oh, Real Madrid won the league championship in Calderon era, and what about you, Mr. Coach? You have nothing!"
Pellegrini's face turned pale in an instant!
He glanced at the reporter from Catalonia and suddenly felt an uncontrollable urge!
He swung his arm and punched the other person in the chin!
-
"It's a pity that the head coach of the home team was temporarily disqualified from attending the press conference because of suspected assaulting a reporter, so his assistant and team captain participated."
Real Madrid press officer announced to more than 100 media outlets in awkward manner.
Pellegrini's assistant coach is just an unknown person. Where can he represent the team?
The reporters' questions were immediately thrown to Raul.
Real Madrid's soul waved at them, and the voices off the field immediately became much smaller.
"I'm sorry the team stopped here. I don't want to talk about the weather in the first round, nor about tactics or substitutions. Every player did his best in the game, but Ajax performed better in the game. They were more like a brave army and they deserved the victory."
"Escape from the Champions League is not the end of the world, this season is not over," Raul naturally led the topic in another direction. "We are in good momentum in the league and can reverse Barcelona at any time. I hope my teammates can continue to work hard and win at least one championship trophy for the club at the end of the season."
He silently added in his heart: Let me say goodbye to the team with a champion.
-
Raul did not answer the reporter's questions again. He turned around and left, and no one dared to accuse him of UEFA's regulations on "clubs both sides must accept media questions" because he had long had this status and privilege in this football circle.
Then, everyone's eyes were focused on the winner.
After all, Van Basten has seen countless big scenes. Even though he felt relieved, proud and full of heart, he still couldn't see any joy on his face: "This is a thrilling game. Real Madrid created many opportunities, but they only grasped one of them. At the last moment, they replaced several forwards, and it seemed that their attack power had been improved, but their overall combat power had dropped significantly because they completely lost control of the rhythm. If it were me, I would first strengthen the control of the midfield, rather than arrange five or six forwards in the front..."
The White Swan talked to the microphone and criticizing the other coach's tactics is certainly not polite, but it is not offensive. After all, this is a football game.
But the correctness and error of football tactics are actually only a line of separation, and no one can guarantee that they can always win.
If there is no midfielder in Ajax that can beat two, if Long Shute's physical fitness is overdrawn and collapsed in 70 minutes, if Ronaldo did not force his shot at the critical moment, but found Raul in the air, if Guti directly destroyed Suarez's barb pass while defending, if Long Shute slipped his foot and sprained his ankle when he picked the ball, if Casillas possessed him to block Long Shute's shot, then Real Madrid quickly launched a counterattack...
Then it is not Van Basten, who is sitting on the stage and talking about it now.
In the world of football, the iron rule of success and defeat is particularly cruel. As long as you win the game, even if you win by a black whistle, you can raise your head and chest without blushing and tell the whole world: "Misjudgment is part of football."
And even if you try your best to be hacked to death, all you can get is just a little sympathy and compassion, but what is remembered by the world is the victory and honor of the opponent.
A difficult victory at the last moment will become a dominant performance, and a shameless fake fall will only become an interesting story that is irrelevant. Standing on the sidelines, sweating and jumping up and down is called passionate, sitting in the seat, looking dull and flying outside the sky is called commanding...
Ah, I don’t have a specific team, I’m just sighing about the truth about the football world…

"Marco, Ajax's performance this season is eye-catching. The team is moving forward in the league, domestic cup and Champions League. Have you ever thought about replicating the miracle of Mourinho in Porto six years ago?"
A Dutch reporter asked a question excitedly.
“If you can win more titles, why not?”
Van Basten blurted out.
There was an uproar in the audience.
Van Basten is not a modest person, and being too modest at this time will only make himself hypocritical. Anyway, if he loses later, these reporters will still criticize themselves. So why not enjoy the privileges of the winner at this time?
"Real Madrid is undoubtedly one of the top teams. We can beat them at the Bernabeu, which proves that we are not a lucky person," Van Basten looked calm and did not think he had said anything great. "In the next game, no matter who the opponent is, it will be a difficult battle. My team and I are mentally prepared, and Ajax has never been afraid!"
"Chinese CCTV reporter," a Chinese reporter couldn't wait to raise his hand and stood up, "About Chinese player Long Shute..."
Van Basten ignored the reporter who did not understand the rules and asked questions without authorization. He nodded to the press officer and left with Suarez.
