In addition to understanding the results of the winter signings, the team newspaper was also very concerned about the current situation and future of Real Madrid's existing players.
At this point in the interview, the atmosphere returned to normal and there was no more verbal confrontation.
Colino asked, "Is the worst thing you've encountered since you took over Cassano's rebellion?"
Capello was silent for a moment, then adjusted his state of mind and tried to speak in a relaxed manner, "Cassano is like that. I know him better than anyone else. He is a difficult lad to discipline, but at the same time, he is a very talented player. What I saw of him at Real Madrid was only 50% of his level. The problem with him was that his performance fluctuated with his emotions. He needs the main position to give him confidence, but … "
"It's the same as Beckham's situation. England's former captain is tired of being on the bench. "
In September, Calderón announced that he would complete a contract extension with Beckham within three weeks. It was almost December and Beckham's contract extension was still pending.
"Beckham is not a substitute player. He is an outstanding professional player and can be described as perfect. He will play when there is a position. After all, a season is very long. I now have my own main lineup, which is playing well, so he has to wait for his opportunity. You know, I have personally asked the club to extend his contract. "
Capello's answer was smooth and slick, but the reporters did not buy it and were very disdainful.
"Some people said that after you gave Ronaldo a good scolding, the Brazilian showed his best mental state and lost a lot of weight. Is this true? "
Capello replied, "I often teach Ronaldo a lesson, but I need to provoke him more! Right now, his weight wasn't at the ideal level, even though he felt good. His training is good now, he works hard, Monday, Tuesday … He plays on Sunday, which is normal. We will talk about the future … In fact, Ronaldo is the most talented player I have ever seen. His potential is shocking. I want him to play with van Nistelrooy, like I did before. The teams I coach all play with two strikers, there is no doubt about it. "
"And they also use wingers, Robinho, Reyes or Raúl. But sometimes they are in opposite positions. "
Cross-legged wingers had quickly become a trend in the development of modern football. It was different from the classical wingers. This was an era that was moving forward. For example, Robben and Ronaldo were now on the path of the counter-legged wingers.
Capello naturally noticed this as well. If he didn't have such a keen sense of smell, then he wouldn't deserve to be called a top instructor.
"Raúl's performance on the flank is very good because he can break through and his nose in front of the goal is very good. It was from his position on the flank that he could often catch his opponents off guard. In addition, if Raúl moves to the middle, Ramos will participate in the offense more than Carlos. "
"Where are Robinho and Reyes?"
"I see that sometimes wingers are more threatening when they are in the opposite position, because it is difficult for the opponent to defend when they break in the opposite direction. But even so, I still like wingers who can go up and down, who can participate in both offense and defense. "
"Did Casillas's performance convince you?"
"What are you talking about? I have always thought that Casillas is an outstanding goalkeeper. What are you trying to tell me by asking this? Yes, we have trained him more in receiving high balls and attacking outside the penalty area. That is a fact. His performance in both areas has improved greatly. That is also a fact. "
The team newspaper had actually finished asking the questions, but in the following interview, they asked some personal questions about Capello, such as his career as a player, the source of his football philosophy, and so on.
When the interview was about to end, the topic returned to the current situation.
"In the teams you have been in, what type of player do you like?"
Capello's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence as he said, "Well, I like players like De Rossi in the Roma team. I remember one day when I substituted him off the field, I was touched by his attitude. He played the game the way he trained: decisive, courageous, concise. In addition, Aquilani also played like that. This type of player will form a strong team. Ten years ago, when I was at Real Madrid, I saw some players who were very famous, but when they stepped into the Bernabéu stadium and saw 90,000 spectators, they were stunned. "
"Haha. By the way, tell me about Athletic Bilbao, who is coming to the Bernabéu stadium to play. What do you like about them? "
"What I said or what I saw in the video has no practical meaning. They have changed their coach, and what kind of game they will play is still a mystery. Athletic Bilbao's current situation is not very good. They have been insisting on using local players, but this approach is getting more and more difficult. "
"Will there be a championship this season?"
"Let's beat Athletic Bilbao first. This is the first step …"
Capello's interview was over.
This interview appeared in AS's news. Many Real Madrid players and fans were unhappy after seeing it!
Compared to the previous joke of "seeing a new Real Madrid in 50 days," Capello was now flushed with success. After all, the team he led was full of momentum on all fronts!
Results were always the source of a manager's confidence!
But the players felt that Capello was a little unreasonable.
He first defended Cannavaro, which made the players in the locker room, except for the Italian players, uncomfortable.
Qin Xiong's contribution to the team was obvious to everyone. When Qin Xiong won the award, they were also happy for Qin Xiong and sent their blessings. They were all playing for Real Madrid. Capello's words could only represent his personal position and could not be said as the manager of Real Madrid.
Secondly, there were new players to join. The current players whose positions were unstable or mysterious were still uncertain about the future. Whether Capello played Tai Chi or smoothed things over, it made these players feel uncertain.
Anyway, no matter what others thought, the relationship between Qin Xiong and Capello was still the same as before. It was neither cold nor warm. If Capello wanted to say something to him, Qin Xiong would listen, but only listen.
On December 4, the Basque lions, Athletic Bilbao, visited the Bernabéu stadium.
Before the start of the game, Qin Xiong entered the stadium with the Ballon d 'Or award, showing his achievements to the fans at the scene and taking photos on the field.
The Bernabéu stadium stood up and cheered, as if welcoming the arrival of the new King!
In the eyes of the vast majority of Real Madrid fans, this was a sign of the beginning of a new era!
