Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Eight, Zidane
At Wembley Stadium on May 31, Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 4-0 and won the second championship trophy of the season.
As of today, almost all major European mainstream leagues have extinguished the flames of war. Now the eyes of the entire European football world are on Berlin, Germany. A few days later, the last game of European football this season is also the highlight and final battle with the highest honor-the 2014-2015 European Champions Cup final will be Go to war!
Recently, both Manchester United and Real Madrid have been seriously preparing for the game.
In far away Madrid, Spain, Real Madrid has been under a lot of pressure in recent times.
Before the last round of the league, they still had the opportunity to compete for the La Liga title, but they did not expect that Barcelona, which was eliminated from the Champions League, won consecutive games in the last few games, and finally led Real Madrid by two points, and won the La Liga title this season. .
In the Copa del Rey match, Real Madrid was eliminated early and lost the chance to win the cup.
In this way, Real Madrid has only one championship title left to compete for the Champions League this season.
On the training ground of Real Madrid, the players seemed a little lacklustre, and they were very depressed when they were deprived of the league championship by Barcelona.
Ronaldo hit the anti-aircraft gun with a burst shot, he waved his hand vigorously, very dissatisfied with his performance!
At this moment, a ball suddenly flew from the sidelines, with a fast speed and a tricky angle, it went directly into the goal guarded by Navas, and Navas did not respond!
Everyone was taken aback! Who can score so accurately from such a long distance, whose footwork is so good?
The Real Madrid stars looked back, only to see the person who just shot. That person is their coach Zidane.
I saw Zidane wearing an ordinary sportswear. He is standing on the sidelines now, about 40 meters away from the goal. The shot just now can still see Zidane's extremely solid basic skills.
At this time, Zidane walked onto the court, and every time he did this, it meant that the training was temporarily over.
At this time, all the players came to the center of the field and surrounded Zidane.
Although Zidane has just become Real Madrid's coach for a short time, his prestige in the hearts of the players is extremely high.
Just like a superstar like Ronaldo,
Zidane is often able to provide guidance to Ronaldo, and he teaches by precept and example, and personally guides on the court. After about half a year, Ronaldo feels that he has improved a lot in passing and free kicks. For a star like Ronaldo who is extremely proud of his heart, what he can really admire is his unparalleled technology. And Zidane has exactly this ability.
For many veteran Real Madrid players, Zidane's Real Madrid pedigree also makes them very respectful. Among them, Casillas, Ramos and others are the leaders. As a celebrity of Real Madrid, Zidane is extremely deterrent to these younger generations.
As for young players such as Carvajal and Isco, Zidane tried his best to train them.
And players such as Varane and Benzema, who are also French, are very supportive of Zidane.
In this way, although Zidane has not won any championships so far this season, Florentino has already prepared a contract for Zidane, and wants to set him up and let him Continue to be in charge of Real Madrid in the future.
In fact, Florentino has prepared two contracts. Although he has confirmed the renewal of the contract with Zidane, whether he can win the Champions League final will determine which contract Florentino will come up with. Of course, the annual salary and bonus of the two contracts are completely different.
Zidane knows this, so although he has been very relaxed on his face recently, he is under great pressure inside.
Although he did not win the league and the Copa del Rey because he took over halfway, after all, he does not have enough championships to prove his worth. The Frenchman knows that he needs a weighty trophy to consolidate his position. And that weighty trophy, preferably the Champions League trophy.
The league has ended these few days, but on the training ground, Zidane found that the players were in a bad state of mind. He understood that it was because they lost the league championship at the last moment, which made the players feel very bad. Zidane knew it was time for him to do something and say something.
Zidane came to the center of the field, he looked at the players around him, and the players looked at him. He could feel that everyone's eyes were different, some were very anxious, while others were extremely calm. Zidane cleared his throat and spoke.
"I prefer being here than talking in the locker room or meeting room." Zidane pointed to the stands behind him, "Every time I am here, I think of a few years ago, and I was here every day. Training. And the fans outside the railing, I know many people, they are diehard fans of Real Madrid. But I saw something else in their eyes, such as...disappointment."
"I know that the fans are very disappointed that Barcelona won the league title in the end. I believe you all must be very upset. We are proud Real Madrid, we have noble blood, we play the most beautiful football, the most beautiful football in Europe. The best club! No one!"
"But I can't see any expectation of victory and championship from some of you these days. Are you irritable and discouraged just because you lost the league championship? Don't forget, in a few days we will Will stand in the Champions League final and become the focus of the whole of Europe! If Micron wins at that time and bring the Champions League trophy back to Spain and Madrid, who cares about who is the champion of La Liga? The eyes of the whole world will fall On us! Because we are the European champions! And we defended the Champions League!"
"Think about it, what an honor it is! I hope you will forget about the damn La Liga trophy from now on and focus all your energy on the Champions League final! Hopefully in a few days we will be at the Bernabeu A grand championship celebration will be held at the stadium, and at that time, each of you will be a hero in the history of Real Madrid! You are the most glorious history of Real Madrid!"
After hearing what Zidane said, the eyes of all Real Madrid players lit up! They were still worried about the La Liga champions just now, and now they feel that their worries have gradually subsided a lot.
Captain Casillas, on behalf of his teammates, looked at Zidane firmly: "We will definitely do our best to bring the Champions League trophy back to Madrid and make all Real Madrid fans proud of us!"
"That's right!" Deputy captain Ramos was also very excited, "Let us use the honor of defending the Champions League to maintain the noble dignity of Real Madrid!" The successor of the Red Devils
