Chapter 915 How Can This Be?

"Bayern Munich steal the ball, Jerome Boateng takes it and passes it to Xabi Alonso."

"Javi Alonso again, to Thiago."

"A pass back... a long pass from Xabi Alonso up the pitch."

"Lewandowski gets the first point, holds the ball, passes..."

"Thomas Muller, let's go in, good opportunity, hit the door!!!"

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"!!!!!!"

"In the eighty-ninth minute, in the eighty-ninth minute, Bayern Munich finally surpassed the score again!"

"Thomas Muller's lore goal at a critical moment, an assist from teammate Lewandowski!"

"It's so crucial, this goal, it completely decided this game!"

"If Bayern Munich finally reaches the final and can win the Champions League, then Thomas Muller's goal will be the most critical lore, and he will become the biggest contributor to Bayern Munich's championship!"

"Three to two, the total score is four to three!"

"Simeone looked dissatisfied with the result of the game. The goal was a defensive error by the young centre-back, Jose Jimenez, who didn't get close to Thomas Muller, who came in from the back. Those who got a chance to kick."

"The young Uruguayan centre-back also looked annoyed, frustrated."

"Atletico Madrid had countless reasons to be dissatisfied with this game. After conceding the goal in less than eight minutes, they just relied on two goals from the comeback Isco to reverse the score."

"However, the situation turned around in the second half, Bayern Munich quickly equalized the score with Lewandowski's goal, and at the last moment, with Thomas Müller's critical moment lore, the score was exceeded again. "

"It's a pity indeed, Atlético Madrid had already qualified for the final."

"If Atletico Madrid can reach the final again, then their opponent will still be the opponent in the Champions League final last season, the defending champion from the Premier League, Southampton."

"but,

It is a pity that Simeone's team finally missed this opportunity. "

"But in any case, we should all give affirmation to this Spanish youth team. It has been able to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons. Simeone's team deserves the respect of all opponents and fans."

"The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, let's congratulate Bayern Munich and Pep Guardiola!"

"In the 2014-2015 season, in the second round of the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, Bayern Munich played at home, and finally defeated the visiting Atletico Madrid 3-2, and successfully advanced to the final with a total score of 4-3. "

"Because Southampton defeated Monaco 2-0 at home yesterday, the two opponents in the final will be Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga and Southampton from the Premier League."

"We have every reason to believe that this will be a battle between dragons and tigers, a contest representing the highest level of European football."

...

When the excited voice of the TV commentator came from the TV, the chairman's office at the Bernabéu Stadium fell into a dead silence.

There were quite a few people sitting, but it was so quiet that only the sound from the TV remained.

Everyone watched the TV silently, and from time to time looked at the Real Madrid chairman, Florentino.

The chairman of Real Madrid, who always looks smiling, kind and generous to others, is now ashen-faced.

Not just him, but everyone else sitting next to him.

If you are a reporter or a fan who is familiar with Real Madrid, you will be surprised to find that at this moment, the group of people sitting in Florentino's office all have a lot of background.

The former Real Madrid star, and now the head of the club's public relations department, Vulture Butragueno.

Former Real Madrid superstar, now the head coach of the second team Castilla, French star Zidane.

But these two people are relatively well-known, but there are still a few who are relatively low-key and don't know Real Madrid very well. It is estimated that few people can recognize them.

Angel Luis, Aguiardo Garcia, Luis Arroyo...

These people are all directors of Real Madrid, and speaking at the club is quite important.

At the beginning, Florentino was able to run for the chairmanship of Real Madrid, and later he was able to take charge of the Bernabeu again. A very low-key bald old man.

Eduardo Fernandez de Blas.

The most famous barrister in Madrid, a die-hard fan of Real Madrid, the president of the famous attacking fans club, and at the same time, Florentino's elementary school classmate and best friend.

It was once reported that the purpose of Debras's establishment of the Offensive Fan Club was to support his old classmate Florentino as the chairman of Real Madrid, and this fan organization gathered the wealthiest group of Real Madrid fans. Has always played the role of a die-hard supporter of Florentino.

With so many identities, Debras is doomed to have an extraordinary position in Real Madrid.

Generally speaking, to be able to bring so many core executives of Real Madrid together at the same time, something important must have happened, or in other words, they are discussing an extraordinary event.

It was so important that even the end of the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final being broadcast live on TV could not affect them, and no one would even take it seriously.

In their eyes, is there any need to pay attention to the Champions League without Real Madrid?

"The fans are generally not very satisfied with the team's results this season. Whether it is in La Liga or the Champions League, we are all behind the rivals in the same city, Atletico Madrid. This is difficult to accept."

The person who spoke was Real Madrid's vice-chairman De Blas.

As for the fans he said, who knows whether they are the wealthy fans in the attacking fan club or the more numerous Real Madrid fans?

"Ancelotti has to get out of class. This is the tradition of our Real Madrid. Moreover, we don't feel that he has the ability to bring a stable tactical system to Real Madrid. This is not his strong point."

"I also agree that Ancelotti should indeed be dismissed, this is not in dispute."

Several other people present also expressed their opinions one after another. It can be seen that there is no controversy or suspense about Ancelotti's dismissal.

Even among the fans of Real Madrid, the voice of Carlo Ancelotti getting out of class has not been small.

In the position of Real Madrid's head coach, not having a crown almost means dismissal. This is not unique to the Florentino era. It was already the case as early as the Mendoza era.

Even famous coaches like Bosque won the championship, but get out of class as usual.

As the most successful football club in the twentieth century, Real Madrid has never paid much attention to the role of the head coach.

In this unique club, management and superstars are what matter.

After listening, Florentino looked at Butragueno and Zidane, "What do you think?"

At this moment, everyone looked at the two of them.

Butragueno looked at the crowd, nodded, and replied: "After helping the team win the Champions League, Ancelotti's performance is indeed unsatisfactory, especially this season, lack of strategy, in many things In terms of handling, it was too casual and lacked solutions, which led to many unnecessary problems for the team."

A well-known problem is that Real Madrid's performance after the winter break was obviously not as good as expected, which caused Real Madrid to fail to hold the leading position when facing Atletico Madrid.

Now, Real Madrid is in a very passive position in the competition for the league championship. It can even be said that unless Atletico Madrid actively makes mistakes, otherwise, the league championship is hopeless.

In this case, Ancelotti is absolutely responsible.

Of course, if you look closely, maybe he is a bit innocent to be blamed for this, but who made him the head coach of Real Madrid?

Anyone who wants to become the head coach of this team must have this level of awareness, right?

Florentino looked at Zidane again, who shrugged, "I have no objection!"

"Okay!" Florentino nodded and said, "Now, let's talk about who can replace Ancelotti if he leaves get out of class?"

It should be said that this is the biggest problem.

It is not a big problem to fire a head coach. No matter how big the head coach is, Real Madrid has fired it.

The key question is that it is easy to fire Ancelotti, who will take over Real Madrid is the problem.

"Nowadays, the famous coaches in European football have contracts, and the most important thing for us now is to establish a stable tactical system, which requires the head coach to have advanced tactical concepts, so..."

There are really not many who can possess these qualities and meet the requirements of the head coach of Real Madrid.

It can even be said that there are only a handful of them, just a few.

"Rafael Benitez!" Florentino said the name lightly, "What do you think of him?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, a little surprised, but soon relieved.

Benitez is a modern coach with advanced tactical concepts, and what he is best at is that he is very good at using various analytical tools and new technologies to study the opponent's weaknesses. He is known as a magician on the football field .

In recent years, with the rise of Southampton, the importance of data analysis has gradually gained the attention of European football, and a head coach like Benitez who is good at calculation and analysis is undoubtedly more pleasing up.

"He is very particular about how to handle things. If he comes to teach, he can help the team reduce some randomness and have more technical solutions. I think he is quite suitable."

The reason why Guardiola and Bielsa can succeed is precisely because of their excellent problem-solving ability and rich details. These are their ultimate killers on the football field.

Relatively speaking, Ancelotti is a more traditional head coach. Tailoring clothes to suit one's needs, taking care of the food, and making improvements in a small area are all his advantages.

In other words, Ancelotti is good at local improvement, while Bielsa, Guardiola and Benitez are good at strategic layout.

It is difficult to say which of the two types of coaches is better. It can only be said that Real Madrid lacks the latter more for the time being.

"Benitez is Real Madrid's own. We invited him twice before, but he didn't agree, but now, I'm sure, he won't refuse our invitation again."

When Florentino first returned to Real Madrid, he invited Benitez twice to coach at the Bernabeu, but the Spaniard rejected the invitation from Real Madrid.

However, Real Madrid at that time was obviously different from what it is now.

Moreover, Benitez was still a well-known marshal in Europe back then, but now, his influence has obviously declined.

Therefore, it should be difficult for him to refuse the invitation of Real Madrid.

Seeing that all the think tanks had no objections, Florentino made a decision on the spot and decided to invite Benitez to replace Ancelotti, but for the sake of prudence, they decided to keep it secret for the time being.

"Next, there is one more thing that I want to talk to you about."

After talking about the change of head coach, Florentino changed the subject.

"I'm going to sell Cristiano Ronaldo this summer!"

"What?"

Florentino's words were like a thunderbolt piercing the night sky, which surprised everyone in the office.

Selling Cristiano Ronaldo?

How can this be?

How can it be?
