"After a fierce 90-minute battle, in the first round of Group E of the new season's Champions League group stage, Lyon defeated Real Madrid with a score of 3: 2 at Gerland's home ground. In the game, Lyon showed the overall fighting strength of the team and the overall performance of the players were obviously stronger than Real Madrid. Real Madrid looked anxious and confused most of the time. They made mistakes on both ends of the offense and defense. Fortunately, this is only the first round of the group stage. Real Madrid still has time to adjust and improve.
The fire of the new season's Champions League has been ignited. We can look forward to which team can subvert the tradition or continue the glory to the top of Europe in the next eight months! "
The game was over and the Real Madrid players walked into the players' tunnel dejectedly. Everyone could not wait to leave the stadium.
It was not that the game here was a nightmare, but at least Qin Xiong felt very uncomfortable and was in a terrible mood.
He did not want to talk to anyone in the team, including the coach and teammates.
It seemed that everyone here had a lot of ideas and ideas.
But they did not put the team's interests first.
There were indeed people who were silently contributing and sacrificing, but it was not enough.
He was extremely uncomfortable with a phenomenon: players without strength stole the limelight!
Just like in his first season at Arsenal, he honestly assisted Henry. This was a mentality determined by strength. He set his own position and put the team's interests first.
After a quick shower in the locker room, Qin Xiong changed into clean clothes and was the first to sit on the bench and wait for the rest of the team to leave together.
Capello attended the post-match press conference and Cannavaro also accepted the post-match interview.
The two Italians had a clear conflict when they spoke to the media.
Because the visitors' locker room was less than five meters away from the press conference, Capello's reprimand of Cannavaro during the halftime interval was heard by the reporters.
Capello said that Cannavaro had made a lot of mistakes and criticized Real Madrid's performance in the game. He also explained some of the substitutions, but it was obviously not convincing.
Cannavaro, on the other hand, hit back at Capello's remarks, saying that his attention was highly focused during the game and that he was definitely not distracted as Capello said.
Compared to the frustration of Real Madrid, Lyon's manager, Houllier, was in high spirits. He claimed that Lyon had a chance to win a perfect victory. If Real Madrid did not have Qin Xiong, the score would not be 3: 2, but at least 3: 0.
"But it doesn't matter. Real Madrid only made the score look less awkward with the individual performance of the superstar player. We should be proud of the strength of Lyon team. This is the foundation for us to move forward."
When Qin Xiong walked out of the Gerland Stadium with his teammates and was about to board the bus, the reporters broke through the order of the stadium management and swarmed to his side. They asked him a question that made Capello extremely embarrassed.
"Qin Xiong, what did you shout at Capello during the match?"
"Has your relationship with him broken down?"
"He was going to replace you with Beckham, but he changed his mind because of your goal. Do you mind this?"
.....
Capello turned his head and got directly into the bus. Qin Xiong also got on the bus behind Raúl as usual and did not make any response.
On the way to the bus to the airport and on the flight back to Madrid, Qin Xiong closed his eyes and rested in his seat. He did not want to communicate with anyone, especially Capello.
After returning to Madrid, radical Real Madrid fans insulted Capello outside the airport.
They claimed that Capello was destroying Real Madrid!
There was a worry that had always existed in the hearts of Real Madrid's die-hard fans.
Real Madrid needed victories and championships.
But Real Madrid needed an outstanding temperament and pursuit more!
Between the championship and the temperament, they chose the lesser of two evils. Some radical Real Madrid fans were more inclined to defend Real Madrid's aristocratic temperament!
In a helpless environment, the team could do without the championship, but they could not do without the pursuit of aristocracy!
That was the ambition to pursue a gorgeous attack on the field.
If there was no championship, no victory, and the team lost this gorgeous style.
Then, very sorry, no manager would be accepted and continue to endure by the Real Madrid fans under such circumstances.
The defeat of Gerland was not a fuse for the outbreak of civil strife. It was more like an explosion of chaos that had naturally accumulated to the peak!
In the news published the morning after the game, AS featured the picture of Qin Xiong yelling at Capello during the game. This picture covered the entire front page!
The headline was: "Qin Xiong Scores Twice, But Real Madrid Suffers a Crushing Defeat at Lyon!"
In addition to the battle report, the news selected four famous players related to Real Madrid for a "consultation" with Real Madrid.
The general manager, Mijatović, said, "This day is like a nightmare. Lyon could score more goals, which makes us very sad. But we have the potential to improve. The season has just begun, and there is still a long way to go to see the future."
The former Real Madrid manager, Camacho, said, "Everyone has to be patient. The players also have to look forward. It's not good to always think about Lyon's defeat. After all, the opponent's strength is very strong and has been in shape for many years."
The former midfield king, Redondo, said, "Lyon played a very good game. Their overall formation was maintained very well. Now they should be a strong contender for the Champions League title. Real Madrid has a new coach and new players. The team's run-in is not very good. Everyone should be patient. As for the result, the players should forget it as soon as possible and look at the positive side. This kind of thing happening at the beginning of the season is not a bad thing. "
The old manager, Bosque, was more distressed. He said simply, "Lyon's performance was better than Real Madrid's. They should have won! Real Madrid is a new team. The team's state is not at its best. Obviously, Lyon's performance that night was better than Real Madrid's. "
After the comments of the Real Madrid legends, AS revealed a big piece of news in the locker room.
Capello's absolute main force was only seven players!
Casillas, Salgado, Ramos, Cannavaro, Carlos, Emerson, and Diarra.
They were all defensive players in the middle and back field, which was in line with his idea of building a solid defense as the foundation of development.
Qin Xiong, who should have been included in the absolute main force, publicly shouted at Capello in the game against Lyon, and his future became uncertain.
AS believed that whether Real Madrid could forget the pain of losing to Lyon or face the future positively was not the most important thing.
The important thing was when the locker room could stabilize!
After Capello officially coached for three games, he had offended many big name stars in the team.
If this trend continued, who could Capello trust?
Who would be willing to risk their lives for him?
