Chapter 118 Benítez Is Fired!!

In the news, Real Madrid President Florentino personally came out to officially announce that Real Madrid head coach Benítez is about to leave Real Madrid!

Benítez, fired!

When the uproar was going on before, there was no movement at all.

Now that Real Madrid is gaining momentum, they suddenly got the news that Benítez was fired.

Bai Ran was also a little confused.

In order to verify the authenticity, Bai Ran took out his mobile phone and checked Real Madrid's official social media account.

He usually read transfer news here. If there is no official announcement, everything is nonsense!

Opening Real Madrid's account, there is a new tweet on it!

"After the board's resolution, we have made the difficult decision to terminate the contract with Benítez and thank him for his contribution to Real Madrid."

"Wish this legendary coach all the best in the future! We will always remember you!"

Afterwards, Real Madrid also released a copy: "Who will be the coach of Real Madrid? The head coach position is currently vacant, and the assistant coach will temporarily serve as the interim head coach until the official head coach takes office!"

All Real Madrid fans were shocked. He was fine some time ago, how could he suddenly be fired! ?

Although they were very shocked, it was hard not to laugh...

These people had long hoped that Benítez would be fired, but during the time when he had the greatest chance of being fired, Florentino came out to support him, which also made the fans very disappointed.

But they never expected that during the period when Real Madrid won consecutive victories, the official announcement of his dismissal was suddenly announced.

This 360-degree turn is too exciting!

Old Buddha, you are still good at playing!

In fact, Benítez's dismissal was almost destined from the beginning. From the first day he took office, Real Madrid fans didn't like him.

Maybe it was because of the halo of being the fifth in Serie A, or maybe it was because the results were not as brilliant as those of his predecessors... Anyway, all kinds of reasons are possible.

It's just that these Real Madrid fans didn't expect that he would leave before even completing a season!

In fact, after Benítez officially announced his dismissal, many fans still raised such questions.

"Didn't Ancelotti lose all four major titles last season? The worst case for Benítez this season is that he can't even win half a championship."

"What's more, at this time last year, how good was Barcelona's performance next door? It was also rotten as mud!"

"But after Christmas, Barcelona swept the triple crown, and in 2015 they won the five crowns, so... even though we hate Benítez, we should at least give him a chance to prove himself!"

"What if it really works?"

Indeed, Real Madrid's sudden official announcement caught everyone off guard, and did not even give Benítez any chance to turn things around, and directly terminated the contract after half a season.

But someone from Real Madrid gave an answer.

"You are right. Every head coach has his own style. Maybe Benítez can do better in other clubs. Maybe the former head coach Ancelotti can do better in Real Madrid."

"But it is impossible for Benítez to coach Real Madrid now!"

The reason is very simple. The die-hard fans who know Real Madrid know that if the word "human touch" is discussed on this planet, Real Madrid will never be among the top, and even rank at the bottom.

In Florentino's mind, you are either one of the strongest players in football, like Bale, Ronaldo, etc., or you can bring commercial value to the team, such as Navas and James.

But if a player, although he plays a very important role in the team, his commercial value is minimal. Although he is very strong, he is not the strongest in today's football. Then, I'm sorry, you will definitely leave Real Madrid.

The best example is Angel Di Maria of Argentina.

The same is true for players and head coaches.

Florentino can tolerate a coach who has nothing in the four majors throughout the season, but the premise is that you must have full merits, be extremely adaptable to the Real Madrid tactical system, be able to handle the relationship between the players in the locker room, and be very popular!

In this case, the Real Madrid president can give you a chance to take the blame and leave at the end of the season.

This is his greatest tolerance.

Ancelotti last season is such a vivid example.

If any of the above points cannot be achieved, Florentino will definitely not wait until the end of the season, and will let you go in half a season.

As he asked, Benítez did very poorly in all aspects. Except that his feelings for Real Madrid may be higher than Ancelotti, the rest are almost incomparable with Ancelotti.

Even if he is a chess piece for Florentino to suppress Ronaldo, he must be abandoned. This is a useless piece.

Fans have speculated which coach will take over the Real Madrid coaching baton!

Real Madrid also called the club members one by one to ask for their opinions.

The content of the fans' survey is also very important.

The main issues involved include how to view Benítez's performance during his time at Real Madrid, who do you support as the new coach of Real Madrid, which player do you most want to sign, etc.

From such revelations, it can be seen that Florentino is conducting a public opinion survey to fire Benítez.

The more votes were for the famous coach Mourinho and Real Madrid's youth training director Victor.

In the list of fans' support, there is another familiar name.

Real Madrid B team coach - Zidane!

Real Madrid's turmoil during Christmas is still unstoppable, but this has not affected the situation in Castilla.

After the holiday, the players still returned to the base for training.

The players occasionally discussed the situation of Real Madrid.

"Have you heard that after Benítez was fired, Real Madrid fans polled who they support as their coach, and Mourinho was very popular."

"No, I don't think so."

"I don't think Mourinho is suitable, I like Victor more."

"Although he is the head of youth training at Real Madrid, he also has a coaching certificate. He has been studying the plan to coach the team these days. I think he is a dark horse."

A player on the side interrupted.

"I like Guardiola. Can he come to Real Madrid?"

Guardiola! ?

All his teammates looked at him with a strange look.

"How is that possible! Don't talk nonsense, you'll be in trouble if the coach hears you!"

"Guardiola is the former head coach of Barcelona and Real Madrid's mortal enemy. Are you crazy?"

The player spread his hands and said helplessly: "Just say whatever you want, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

"The first team is short of a coach, do you want me to do it?"

"Let's just play our Segunda B well!"

Everyone heard that what he said did make some sense. No matter how much they messed around, it has nothing to do with your B team!

But Bai Ran on the side fell into silence.

Because he found a problem.

Recently, Zidane seems to have very little time on the training ground. He often left early before, and now he doesn't come at all for a few days.

The task of training was fully handed over to Hermoso.

There must be a reason for this.

In Bai Ran's impression, after Benítez was dismissed this season, Zidane will take over as the head coach of Real Madrid.

It seems that Florentino made the same decision as in his previous world - let Zidane lead this Real Madrid!

Time passed quickly, and the first training camp turned into a match day.

In this match, Castilla will challenge La Roda as a guest.

On January 4, 2016, the same day that Castilla played away, Real Madrid will also challenge the Black Bats - Valencia as a guest.

Bai Ran and his teammates got on the bus for the expedition. Many players were wearing headphones to listen to music on the way, which showed that they were so relaxed.

At this stage of the league, as long as they get six more points, they can lock in the first place in Group V, so there is basically no pressure.

Although La Roda is a club established in 1999 with a very long history, the strength of the club is somewhat unsatisfactory. The boss behind the scenes did not spend too much money to build a decent stadium, so the facilities are very simple.

Castilla's players have played more than a dozen rounds of the league in the Western Second Division B, and have become accustomed to all kinds of away games.

They can barely cope with this kind of venue.

The players' locker room was just two neat rooms, without even numbers and jerseys behind the players' seats.

Both sides simply repeated the tactics in the locker room, but Castilla seemed a little sloppy.

Hermoso said to everyone in the locker room: "If we win this game, we will be close to the first place in the group."

"We have worked hard for a season, and the goal is now in front of us."

"Let's go, let's win this victory, come on!"

The reason why there is no tactical analysis is that Zidane did not come with the team today.

With the team's performance so impressive, Zidane seemed to have something to do and did not come to the away game to direct the game.

Hermoso took on this responsibility!

After the players from both sides entered the field, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

There were a few fans in the stands, and the attendance was very low. Even Castilla fans were unwilling to watch the game in such a remote place.

So this game seemed a little desolate.

Despite this, the key of these three points is unquestionable.

Bai Ran also knew this.

But he was still a little uncomfortable when he didn't see Zidane on the sidelines.

At the start of the game, the opponent took possession of the ball first, and the La Roda players in blue shirts began to pass the ball back in the backcourt.

It can be seen that their tactic is to snatch a point from Castilla at home.

The less the situation on the field changes, the better, and they didn't plan to score a goal.

Just keep the score level.

But how can Castilla give up? ?

In the opponent's slow running and passing, Bai Ran's defense alone is definitely not enough, and Hermoso next to him also came forward to steal the ball.

But how can Bai Ran and Hermoso easily steal the pass from so many people?

At this time, Bai Ran ran and shouted to his teammates behind him: "Pull up the defense line! Come up! Come up to the back line!"

"Don't be afraid! Luca! You stand at the penalty area line to support!"

"Patri, come here and fight in the front court."

Bai Ran's tactical arrangements made the players stunned.

Do you have to pull the defense line so far forward?

If the opponent counterattacks, the back will be empty!

Besides, the head coach was not present today, will Bai Ran listen to him?

If the game is lost and something goes wrong, how can I report to coach Zidane when I go back!

But the next second, a voice made them feel relieved.

"Do as Bai Ran arranges!"

Elmoso shouted to the back, and the players took action instantly.

The captain's words are still effective!

Although Bai Ran is the great contributor to Castilla this season, it does not mean that he can arbitrarily instruct the players on their duties on the field.

But Elmoso can, he is the captain!

When the coach is not there, the cohesion is on him.

This is also the power of the spirit, which cannot be reflected on paper.

Bai Ran has not yet unlocked the ability slot of the spiritual attribute, and I don’t know if there is such a category.

Next, Castilla’s scramble finally saw results.

Patri intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and passed it to Elmoso!

Elmoso’s responsibility in the midfield is to assist and organize. After getting the ball, he found Bai Ran and sent it out immediately.

Just as expected, he directly passed the ball to Bai Ran on the side.

There must be a reaction within three meters. Bai Ran realized that there was a defensive player behind him through his innate consciousness!

Within these three meters, Bai Ran can play football even if he closes his eyes!

His perception has reached this level.

So Bai Ran missed the ball and turned around, easily passing the opponent's defensive player, and continued to advance with the ball!

He came to the periphery of the penalty area, found Hermoso next to him, and passed it back.

Doesn't the opponent want to delay time? Then we are not in a hurry.

Bai Ran, who has read many tactical analyses, already has a strategy to deal with it in his mind.

Before, they all used long passes or straight passes from the wing to counterattack and tear open the opponent's defense line.

But this time is different. The opponent just wants to kill time, so in this case, if you have the ball, it's okay. Once the ball is given to the opponent, then the attention of everyone in La Roda must be completely focused.

Because they have to defend, they must not let the opponent score, otherwise it will be difficult to chase.

Under this great pressure, they stared at the ball at Hermoso's feet, and Hermoso was also stunned for a moment. If you don't pass it forward, what are you doing for me?

So Hermoso, who was confused, made two moves to get rid of the ball, first distanced the ball from the opponent's players, and then looked at Bai Ran.

Bai Ran waved his hand, indicating to pass the ball over!

Hermoso passed it over obediently.

Bai Ran pulled the ball and turned around, passing it to Gomez on the wing.

The rhythm slowed down.

This situation lasted for a full ten minutes!

Castilla has been pressing in the opponent's half, but no threatening attack has been formed!

The opponent's players are a little tired, and sweat is on their faces.

A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Ran's mouth, that's right!

When they control the ball, the opponent must be more tired! Because they have to go all out to prevent us from scoring!

And our side?

Just passing the ball back and forth for fun!

When the game was in the 26th minute, Bai Ran saw at a glance that the opponent's defense finally seemed to be slack.

So at the moment of passing the ball to Rodriguez, Bai Ran suddenly accelerated forward!

The defender who was responsible for marking Bai Ran was stunned!

Huh?

What passed by! ?

Looking back, Bai Ran had left him far behind!

This move was a perfect trick!

Bai Ran just applied the change of rhythm in dribbling to the overall tactics.

These are all the same thing, and they have the same purpose!

Seeing Bai Ran rushing forward, Rodriguez quickly passed the ball to Bai Ran, who took the ball and broke into the penalty area!

At this moment, the goal was on his right side. Bai Ran, relying on the characteristics of a "two-legged monster", kicked the ball with his left foot!

A powerful shot, it was a shocking shot!

Unfortunately, it hit the post!

The goalkeeper panicked, with his hands spread out, ready to save the ball!

Gonzalez in front of the goal took advantage of the chaos and shot!

The ball was very powerful, but the angle was too straight!

The goalkeeper just blocked the shot with his body!

It was so thrilling.

At this moment, Bai Ran's sense of smell in front of the goal, like Raul, made him start in advance, and in the blink of an eye he had already run to the landing point of the ball.

Shooting in front of the goal!

Bai Ran also has a talent: the instinct of a shooter!

This talent makes his shooting angle tricky.

In addition, the opponent's goalkeeper had just made a save, so it was difficult to make a second move, so he could only watch the ball roll into the net.

The ball went in!

The referee pointed to the center circle, the goal was valid, there was no problem, and there was no offside!

The score on the field was rewritten, 1-0!

The away fans were boiling, shouting Bai Ran's name and waving their fists to celebrate!

This season, they have already stepped half a foot into the top of Group V, and will soon be able to compete with them for a spot in the Western Second Division!

This is a great joy for the fans!

Bai Ran also hugged his teammates excitedly. This ball is a team effort. After many supplementary shots, the ball finally fell into the net.

The opposing players were dejected, not understanding why they had tried so hard to defend and pass the ball, but were still easily scored by the opponent.

Castilla had not attacked for such a long time, and scored as soon as it attacked. Who can bear this?

The opponent's head coach was also very dissatisfied, shaking his hands to express his incomprehension.

Bai Ran is too strong, and his control of the game is simply world-class!

How to play this?

Facing such an opponent, does La Roda have any other options besides surrendering?

He shook his head and simply stopped standing on the sidelines. Instead, he returned to his seat and watched their game quietly.

If they could still play in a tie, it would be difficult to catch up once they fell behind.

They wanted to break through Castilla's rock-solid defenses, and then find a chance to penetrate the city guarded by Luca Zidane?

That was simply a fantasy, as difficult as climbing to heaven!
