Chapter 526
During Zidane's coaching period, the team did not have any sharp conflicts in the locker room.
There are minor conflicts, most of which are personal complaints from players.
Complain about why I have less playing time and low annual salary.
These are minor issues.
If you want to play time, you must either seize the opportunity or go to another club.
As for the annual salary, as long as Florentino is happy, there is no problem with salary increase and contract renewal.
But once the players openly oppose the head coach, it will greatly affect the stability and morale of the team.
Especially big clubs, top giants, some players are even big enough to make conditions with the chairman.
In a club with such a long history as Real Madrid, this situation is very rare.
It is common for stars to be dissatisfied with the arrangement of the head coach and collectively put pressure on the club.
On the one hand, the club needs the strength of stars to improve the team's performance.
On the other hand, the market behind the stars is needed to create wealth.
After weighing the pros and cons, the club usually puts pressure on the head coach.
When the club's performance is not good, there are examples of the head coach being impeached by the players.
But Real Madrid is not.
Whether the head coach is in office depends entirely on Chairman Florentino and the Champions League results.
Especially during the period when Real Madrid stayed in the title of Sixteenth Lang of the Champions League, the number of coaching changes was the most frequent in Europe.
The European War is an important standard of measurement.
Last season, Zidane led Real Madrid's third line collapsed, and there was no protest in the locker room, but the unhesitating support of the players, which is the key to his continued tenure.
Therefore, Zidane dared to say such a thing, which also proved his absolute status in the locker room.
The media did not have any doubts, and even after Zidane finished speaking, no one dared to question it.
Because their theories are simply untenable.
The public opinion of the media is temporarily suppressed, but the fans are not happy.
Many fans sang late at night and set off fireworks outside the hotel where Real Madrid stayed, hoping to affect their rest, which caused them to be in a bad state during the game.
This kind of extraterrestrial trick was indeed useful, but the police and security quickly drove away the extreme fans and maintained law and order near the hotel.
The unsuccessful Lyon fans booed Rossi on the day of the game when the players from both sides were warming up.
Soon, the game between the two sides began.
Once Rossi got the ball, he was immediately booed by the Lyon fans.
If Benzema took the ball, the Lyon fans applauded again.
The performance of the two extremes is undoubtedly to provoke the contradiction between the two forwards of Real Madrid.
But is this really the case?
Under the methodical sorting out of the Real Madrid midfielder, the BBL combination on the front line got a lot of opportunities.
First, Bale cut in and hit the post.
Then Benzema and Rossi attacked the goal one after another, all of which were within a hair's breadth of the goal.
At home, the Lyon team not only failed to play his efficient counterattack, but was exhausted defensively and was once suppressed by Real Madrid.
Moreover, in this game, Zidane strengthened the pressing force of the striker, making it very difficult for Lyon to play the ball in the backcourt. After passing the ball a few times, he was forced to make a long pass to find the front end.
If you are lucky, the striker can catch the ball and take a few steps to form a non-threatening shot.
Bad luck, the ball was cut off by the Real Madrid midfielder and lost the ball.
Wave after wave of attacks made Lyon's defense precarious.
In the 20th minute, Real Madrid scored the first goal in a positional battle.
After Benzema entered the penalty area against offside, facing the goalkeeper, he selflessly knocked the ball across to Rossi to help him score a goal.
Later, after Benzema made a point in the penalty area, he took the initiative to give up the right to free throws, allowing Rossi to score twice.
After scoring this goal, Rossi also surpassed Messi in the Champions League scorer list.
Lyon fans were stunned.
Benzema's two selfless assists completely smashed the rumors of his disagreement with Rossi.
In stoppage time in the first half, Rossi selflessly assisted Benzema with his heel, reciprocated, and helped Real Madrid lead 3:0.
With their extraordinary performance, the two not only smashed the rumors of disagreement, but also helped Real Madrid advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League ahead of schedule.
In the second half, Real Madrid fully controlled the rhythm of the game and started a half-time offensive and defensive drill.
In the 45 minutes of practice, the attacking Real Madrid cooperated seamlessly, forming multiple threatening shots.
Reluctantly, Lyon's defense line is as strong as iron, and even a fly cannot fly in, let alone a UEFA Champions League official football weighing 420 grams.
But Lyon fans didn't buy it.
I pay to watch the offense, you show me the defense has a fart.
Around the 75th minute, some Lyon fans had already left the field to avoid traffic jams.
In the end, Real Madrid beat Lyon 3-0 in the away game and successfully advanced to the top 4 of the Champions League.
Bayern Munich also advanced at the same time as Real Madrid.
They eliminated Barcelona 5:1 in two rounds.
The two teams will face off in the European War, only the final.
"Let me tell you, I'm the boss of the team!"
Zidane, who attended the post-match interview, said something jokingly when explaining why the penalty kick was taken by Rossi.
Just in line with the content of his pre-match press conference.
Conflicts in the dressing room of Real Madrid disappeared.
The media has been full of praise for Real Madrid's recent performance.
Not only successfully won the La Liga leader position, but also successfully reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The media predicts that Real Madrid will win a championship this year.
As we all know, Real Madrid, which has entered the semi-finals of the Champions League, is very combative.
The state of a team is always ups and downs, but several key low points are very obvious.
One of them is the April schedule.
Entering April, the season is coming to an end. The long game cycle has made the players very tired, and injuries have also increased.
This time period depends on the team's daily training and bench depth.
Moreover, the later in the league, the pressure to compete for the championship and relegation comes one after another. Teams with missions can often play extraordinary and exciting games, and upsets frequently occur as a result.
Under the training of Pintus, Real Madrid still maintained a strong physical fitness as they entered the sprint stage at the end of the season.
With the training of the national team, some players' bodies are overloaded, resulting in a sluggish state after returning to the club to play.
This has become Rossi's advantage.
Without the national team, he is the most comfortable player in the Real Madrid team.
Sufficient rest keeps him fully charged in terms of physical fitness and state.
Luck is also on Real Madrid's side.
Their opponent in the semifinals is Leipzig, who eliminated Atletico Madrid.
Although the styles of the two teams are very rough and tough, Real Madrid is the worst at dealing with it.
The passionate Leipzig is much easier to deal with than Atletico Madrid.
Not all teams can achieve the iron defense like Atletico Madrid.
And they last up to 120 minutes.
But good signing does not mean good luck.
After Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League, they focused on the league and kept chasing Real Madrid.
Zidane is also very cautious. In order to keep the leader of the standings, he dare not make large-scale personnel changes.
In the face of the difficulty of Athletic Bilbao, although they won 1:0, Real Madrid paid a serious price.
Rossi will miss a week with a thigh strain.
This also means that he will miss the first round against Leipzig.
I just came out of the hospital yesterday. I'm not in a good condition. I hope you understand!
It will be updated slowly and steadily in the later period.
