Chapter 944 For Dignity!

"After returning to Madrid and participating in the championship celebration, I will formally submit my resignation letter."

Near noon the day after the Champions League final, in the garden downstairs of the hotel where Real Madrid stayed, Yang Yang and coach Benitez met here.

Yang Yang was a little surprised and asked, "Why?"

He knows that Benitez's dismissal has always been in the media hype and fans' attention. Although the Real Madrid management has repeatedly stated that it will support Benitez, the attitude of the highest-level Florentino has always been ambiguous.

Especially after the end of the league, the outside world has been rumored that Real Madrid is in full swing to contact Ancelotti. The latter has just been fired by Chelsea, but there is no need to doubt his coaching ability. He led AC Milan and Liverpool twice that year. In the Champions League final, Yang Yang is also very clear about his strength.

But this is not the reason for Benitez's voluntary resignation.

In the past, the reason why he was in crisis in the leadership position was because the team's performance was not satisfactory, but now it is different. The legendary defending Champions League, a King's Cup champion, plus the history-making La Liga runner-up, Benitez's coaching position is completely can be kept.

If he really wants to stay at Real Madrid, he just needs to stand up now and publicly say, I want to stay in the team, even Florentino has to consider the reaction of the team and the fans.

This is the legendary coach who helped Real Madrid successfully defend the Champions League. Benitez will be recorded in the history of Real Madrid. How did Florentino dare to take the big blame to fire him? What if the successor fails to coach?

Bosque's lessons learned, the Real Madrid management can not be careless.

But if Benitez voluntarily resigns, then the situation is completely different.

Yang Yang didn't quite understand that, as a die-hard fan of Real Madrid, with such excellent coaching performance, why did Benitez take the initiative to resign?

The Spaniard looked at Yang Yang deeply for a while, and he saw puzzlement and sincerity in Yang Yang's eyes. He knew that Yang Yang had been cooperating with him for the past few years, almost unconditionally supporting him. What a rare thing for the world's top superstars.

Coaching Yang Yang, it is his honor and a kind of luck.

"You know, when I was playing, I dreamed of playing for Real Madrid. When I was a coach, I always regarded the Bernabeu as my lifelong pursuit and dream, so when Real Madrid asked me if I would like to coach at the Bernabeu , I agreed almost without thinking, because I didn't have any reason to refuse."

"In the past two years, I have been under a lot of pressure. There are the strongest players in the world, which is what any manager can dream of, but at the same time, the pressure is also the greatest, because you have to get worthy of this. The results of a lineup, even at the Bernabeu, without winning the heavyweight championship for a season, that is a failure."

"To be honest, before the Champions League final, I always had a fear that if I lost the final, would I be fired? I don't want to have that kind of thing, you know? In my mind, coaching the Bernabeu It's a sacred thing, but if I get fired, it's a black spot on my sacred beliefs."

Rarely, Benitez spoke at length.

In Yang Yang's memory, Benitez has never said so much in one breath.

He could feel that Benitez probably did not say these words, nor would he say it to the second person, including Yesterdam.

But he actually understood some of Benitez's thoughts.

"The coach is different from the players, Yang." Benitez took a breath and continued, "Especially in a team like Real Madrid, where the players are stronger and there are more superstars, if a game is not played well, , that is the incompetence of the manager, and you have to know that in a team like Real Madrid, changing the coach is always more practical than changing the players."

The last sentence made Yang Yang hear some unwillingness in Benitez's heart.

Over the years, many media and fans have been arguing about one thing, is it Yang Yang who made Benitez or Benitez made Yang Yang?

Some people say that it is his luck for Yang Yang to meet Benitez, because under Benitez's command, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has also been trusted and reused; but some people say that it was him that Benitez met Yang Yang. Good luck, because Yang Yang gave him a steady stream of goals, which is too important for Benitez, who is weak in attacking.

Both sides have their own arguments and their own justifications.

It seems that many people also like to argue, in the end is Ibrahimovic important? Or is Yang Yang important?

Yang Yang understood with a million points in his heart that football is a team sport. Whether it is the players on the court, the coaches on the sidelines, or the staff of the club, they are all one and the same, and they all achieve each other.

If you insist on who is more important and who is better, it will be a very boring debate.

But Benitez is right. In a team like Real Madrid, players are worth too much. If the coach can't use players well, then replace them with good ones. The cost of replacing coaches is much lower. For changing players, especially superstar players.

Therefore, if the Champions League is really not won, the team must find someone to take charge, it must be Benitez.

This is a very realistic and cruel thing, but there is nothing anyone can do about it.

After all, in the world of professional football, there is only one head coach like Ferguson.

No, it is better than Mourinho. In the third year of coaching Inter Milan, he also fell into a low ebb. There are rumors that he will be fired, even the Portuguese madman, let alone others.

Perhaps seeing Yang Yang's mouth open, he hesitated, and Benitez sighed softly.

"I know where my problems lie, and I also know that even if I continue to stay at Real Madrid and continue to lead this team, it will be difficult for me to help it reach another level, and that is not my philosophy and pursuit. "

After Yang Yang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.

Benitez's technical and tactical style is balance, offensive and defensive balance, and overall coordination. This is his coaching style. If he is forced to play offensive football, it is indeed difficult for a strongman, and it must be against his own wishes.

In the last few rounds of the league, Real Madrid was on the offensive, but it was against the underdogs. If Benitez really wants to play with a single midfielder, let’s not talk about his own wishes, just talk about his coaching style. may not be suitable.

From Valencia to Liverpool to Real Madrid, Benitez's consistent tactics are double midfielder.

Everyone is well aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Benitez is a smart man. Although he is addicted to technique and tactics, how can he be a fool? How can he not see what the top Real Madrid executives are thinking now?

Rather than waiting until he is fired and fired in the future, it is better for him to take advantage of the current momentum of the team and when the market is bullish, to retreat bravely and leave Real Madrid. This is not only to preserve his own dignity, but also for his future. Look for the next team to get a better bargaining chip.

Of course, according to Yang Yang's understanding of Benitez, it should be mostly dignity.

There is no airtight wall in this world. Yang Yang received the news of the private meeting between Florentino and Ancelotti. As for whether Benitez received it, Yang Yang does not know, but it is estimated that there should be some clues. .

"Then I won't say anything, good luck, Raphael!" Yang Yang said forcefully.

Benitez smiled lightly, nodded, and patted Yang Yang's shoulder hard, turned away without saying anything.

For Yang Yang, he has always been very at ease, because Yang Yang never needs him to worry about it, and he has always been able to perform the tasks he explained properly, or even overfulfilled.

Benitez wants to tell Yang Yang that it is his honor to be able to coach a player like Yang Yang in this lifetime.

But in this case, he can't say it, and it's not his style.

He also wanted to say some words of encouragement to Yang Yang, and hoped that he would continue to work hard and not slack off, but if he wanted to say something, he found that it was superfluous at all, because Yang Yang didn't need anyone to remind and encourage him at all. They were the most conscious and diligent ones, so he swallowed them again.

Yang Yang stood in the same place, watching Benitez turn and leave, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

For five years, from his departure from Ajax to Liverpool to Real Madrid, he has been playing under Benitez for the past five years. If there is no emotion, how is that possible?

Even to a certain extent, Yang Yang has the kind of complex that a student treats a teacher to Benitez, because from Benitez, Yang Yang really learned a lot of things.

But some things are like this. There is a feast in the world. Benitez can retreat at this time and in this way. As a player, Yang Yang should be happy for him.

It's like when Raul left Real Madrid and went to Schalke 04, he told Yang Yang that he didn't need to feel sorry for him, but should be happy for him, because he left Real Madrid in a decent and dignified way. The team he loves, he will come back in another way in the future.

Raul and Guti are so, Yang Yang believes that Benitez will be the same.

Maybe one day in the future, Real Madrid is in trouble and Benitez will return.

Such precedents are numerous and normal in world football.

As for who will coach Real Madrid in the future, Yang Yang is not worried or worried, because he is confident that no matter who will coach the team, the team must be built around him, otherwise , The first to stand up against it was Florentino.

The president of Real Madrid will never allow anyone to weaken or attack Yang Yang's status in the team's locker room and his role on the court, because every year Real Madrid earns huge profits from Yang Yang, even far more than other players in the team. Sum.

Let me ask, in this situation, how could Real Madrid move Yang Yang?

On the contrary, no matter who comes to coach Real Madrid, it will only further strengthen and enhance Yang Yang's status and role in the team.

And all Yang Yang needs to do is to work hard to play well.
