Chapter 414 Champions League Knockout
Riccardo really doesn't believe that Beckham can save Real Madrid by playing. He can't save it himself, so why does Beckham save it.
Beckham can indeed add a little vitality to Real Madrid's midfield, but Beckham is not Zidane, and the role he can play is still limited.
For him to play, not necessarily better than with Guti.
But Ricardo still went to look for Capello.
Why? Because he felt that Beckham was a key player.
Not on the pitch, but to solve Real Madrid's dressing room problems.
When Beckham was blocked, many players complained for him.
Neither let him play nor renew his contract. His contract is about to expire. What's wrong with contacting the next player? This is human nature.
But Capello announced the banning of Beckham because of this.
And everyone knows that Capello alone would never dare to make this decision, and there must be support from the club's top management behind it.
This is chilling.
Therefore, the morale in the dressing room was very low during this period, and the players did not play hard enough on the field.
If the ban on Beckham is lifted, at least the team's morale will be greatly improved.
On February 10, at the press conference before the game, Capello announced that Beckham would enter the game squad.
The reporters rejoiced,
Thinking that this is the credit of the media, their verbal criticism finally shook Capello.
Little did they know that the backyard of Real Madrid's locker room was already on fire, and players from several factions made an appointment to find Capello to force the palace, which allowed Beckham to see the sun again.
Another very crucial reason is that after being banned, Beckham has also been seriously participating in training, using 100% investment in exchange for an unknown result. Maybe Capello was also moved.
So on February 11, in the 22nd round of La Liga, Beckham made his debut, and Real Madrid challenged Real Sociedad away.
Just 11 minutes into the game, Real Madrid fell behind. The fans at the scene were so angry that they calmed down, and a storm was brewing.
Real Sociedad began to shrink its formation, seeing that Real Madrid was about to swallow a bitter pill, but in the 33rd minute of the game, Real Madrid won a free kick in the frontcourt.
Beckham stood far away without stepping forward. During this period of time, Real Madrid's bench free kicker has become Ricardo, and Beckham doesn't want to make fun of himself.
Unexpectedly, after setting the ball up, Ricardo waved his hand at Beckham, "David, come here."
Beckham stepped forward in surprise.
"I'll cover for you, and you take the penalty." Ricardo said in English.
Beckham nodded gratefully. He does need a goal to prove himself and prove that his return to the lineup makes sense for the team.
After the referee blew his whistle, Ricardo ran over the ball, and Beckham calmly ran up and kicked off the ball.
The football drew a perfect Bayesian arc and fell into the net.
"Beckham goa1!!!!!" the commentator roared passionately, "Beckham's first game back in the lineup, he used a wonderful free kick to help Real Madrid equalize the score! Capello , have you seen? Your stubbornness has cost you. If you had played Beckham earlier, you would never be in this situation. But it is not too late to wake up, Real Madrid is only two points behind, and there is still a chance to catch up. return!"
Beckham's goal forced Real Sociedad to give up recycling and continue to strengthen the offensive. This gave Real Madrid more chances to counterattack.
In the 47th minute of the second half, Real Madrid stole the ball in the backcourt, passed it quickly to the frontcourt, and handed it to the right. Kaka made a low pass, and Licado outflanked and shot to break the net, rewriting the score to 2:1.
In the 69th minute, Kaka dribbled the ball quickly through the midfield, bent his bow and set an arrow 30 meters away from the goal, and scored with a long shot, locking the score at 3:1.
Capello was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just now, Beckham ushered in a hearty victory. Doesn't this mean that he really did something wrong before?
But getting this stubborn old man to admit that he was wrong is more difficult than going to heaven.
At the press conference after the game, Capello completely ignored Beckham's free kick and his dispatching role in the midfield, but kept praising Ricardo and Kaka.
"The two of them are the team's best signings this season. As long as they can maintain their form, I believe that Real Madrid can win the league this season. At the same time, we can do a lot in the Champions League."
"19 games, 21 goals, Ricardo has proved that he is an efficient striker who is not lost to Ronaldo, I think he has every hope of scoring more than 40 goals this season, surpassing the La Liga goals kept by Hugo Sanchez Record."
The previous La Liga goal record holder was one of Real Madrid's five eagles, Ugo Sanchez, who scored 38 goals in the 89-9o season.
La Liga has always been a league that focuses on offense and light defense. It is common for the Golden Boot to score 30 goals, which is completely different from Serie A.
The Serie A Golden Boot can often only score a little over 20 goals.
It is certainly a joy to win, but Barcelona also won, and Real Madrid did not usher in a counterattack.
On February 16th, in the 23rd round of the league, Real Madrid faced Real Betis' iron barrel team at the Bernabeu.
The only good news is that Barcelona lost again, they lost away to Valencia, so that Real Madrid was able to narrow the points gap to 1 point.
Players can also focus on preparing for the Champions League knockout round with peace of mind.
It is very unfortunate that Real Madrid did not draw a good lottery. They drew almost one of the strongest teams-the giants from the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich.
However, Bayern Munich is in poor form this season and currently only ranks third in the Bundesliga standings, and the possibility of competing for the championship is not great. Moreover, they have just undergone a coaching change, Magath was driven away, and the meritorious coach Heathfield was invited back to be a firefighter. People's hearts must be floating.
Rarely, before the game, the two sides did not have a big war of words.
Perhaps it was because there were so many sore spots on both sides. I don't want to be targeted by my opponent, so it's inconvenient for me to make a move.
Both rounds will be played at the Bernabéu.
The morale of Real Madrid is very high. Whether it is the Brazilian gang, the local gang, or other foreign players, they are willing to put aside disputes and do their best for the Champions League.
And in general, the atmosphere in Real Madrid's dressing room is improving now. Beckham was reactivated, on behalf of Capello to soften the players. And the players didn't have the idea of making progress. After all, Ronaldo, the team's biggest big name, was still recuperating from his injury, and the rest, including Ricardo, didn't have enough prestige to affect the whole team.
Raul is not very aggressive, and under his leadership, the Spanish gang has nothing to do with the world.
Since Ricardo took charge of the Brazilian gang, he has only maintained the status of the Brazilians, and has no intention of making the Brazilian gang the boss of the locker room.
The rest of the foreign players are also in a mess and don't have much right to speak.
Therefore, the various factions are currently getting along fairly well.
