In less than half a day, Real Madrid, which seemed to be thriving from the outside world, was on the verge of collapse and destruction!
A subversive situation presented itself in front of all the Real Madrid fans.
When the closing game of the first half of the league tournament arrived, the Bernabéu stadium was full, but most of the fans were at a loss.
They were waiting for the answer to be revealed.
The fans were not fools. Who knew if the media was being alarmist?
The news that Real Madrid would cause was innumerable. Even famous professional newspapers had times when they released smoke bombs.
Only in the game could they know whether Real Madrid had suddenly fallen into an earthquake level of turmoil as reported by the outside world!
In the 16th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Huelva at home.
The opponent was not strong.
After Real Madrid's starting list was released, when the emcee called out the name of each starting Real Madrid player, the Bernabéu stadium erupted in ear-piercing boos!
They confirmed the outside world's reports.
Capello really did abandon Qin Xiong and Ronaldo!
Van Nistelrooy was still recovering from his injury, and Ronaldo, who had been in hot form recently, was abandoned.
Real Madrid still had a striker available?
Yes!
Capello chose to re-use Cassano at this time, which seemed to hint at the turning point that Cassano brought to his destiny.
However, Cassano, a perverse bad boy, did not appreciate it at all. He would not be grateful to Capello. From before the game to the game, he did not give Capello a good look. Even when Capello was directing on the sidelines, he avoided moving to that side.
Guti replaced Qin Xiong, and Capello seemed to be fulfilling what he said to Guti in the summer: you will play an important role in Real Madrid!
Guti did not appreciate it either. It was not like he did not know what had happened. It was obvious that he was a spare tire, a choice made by Capello out of desperation. Why should he be grateful to Capello?
Furthermore, Guti was unlucky. She left the stage due to an injury in the 16th minute of the match. This made Capello's expression extremely ugly. It was as if even the heavens were against him!
The Bernabéu stadium was filled with boos. After Guti left the field, Real Madrid's offense in the front field was almost disorderly. They played badly. In addition, the players' morale plummeted due to the internal conflict between the generals and the manager. The pressure brought by the fans' ear-piercing boos led to a sharp decline in the overall combat strength!
Vilva, who was not well-known, felt that it was a false alarm. They came to Bernabeu with a humble heart and did not encounter any ferocious ancient beasts in the martial world. When they found that the owner of this place was taking a nap, they tried to cause trouble here!
What surprised Vilva was that not only did they behave atrociously here, but they also went to the amusement park to have fun. They went to the supermarket and returned with a full load. After the 90-minute game ended, they left with satisfaction and joy.
0:3！
Atlético Madrid did not win here, and Barcelona did not strut around here.
Vilva, whom Real Madrid fans all over the world looked down on, completely defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabéu!
Not only did they take away three points, but they also trampled on Real Madrid's dignity and picked up a piece to hang on the triumphant return flag.
This was Real Madrid's most frightening nightmare since Calderón took over, but it was also a rare glorious memory for the Vilva club!
After the game, the Real Madrid team was not in the mood to celebrate half of the championship. They hurriedly left the field under the fans' ear-piercing boos and fled the Bernabéu. Some people even wanted to escape from Madrid. Spain!
Because everyone knew that what followed was not the calm analysis and game commentary of the media and fans, but bitter ridicule and storm-like attacks and humiliation!
After the game, Capello constantly emphasized that Real Madrid was the team with the best record in the league so far. His expression was meticulous, but his words revealed his inner panic.
"The 2006 games have all been played, and Real Madrid has won the first half of the league title. This is the most important thing, and we are three points ahead of our biggest competitor, Barcelona."
"Mr. Capello, you're wrong. You may not have seen Barcelona's game. They were forced to a draw by Atlético Madrid at home. Ronaldinho scored with a free kick and Atlético Madrid's Agüero scored with a goal to equalize the score. This happened at Camp Nou, so now Real Madrid is five points ahead of Barcelona even though they lost the game, not three points. You can't take it for granted that Barcelona won this round. "
Although the reporter was correcting Capello's speech, his tone did not hide his ridicule of Capello.
Obviously, Capello suffered no less than the fans.
Although he used the harshest means to punish Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong's words to him had been hovering in his mind.
Maybe he should really go and calculate the winning percentage of Real Madrid in the games without Qin Xiong!
And just as Qin Xiong finished his words and was already on his journey to the Netherlands, Real Madrid lost a league game that seemed to be in the bag without him!
This was where the real blow to Capello was.
It was as if Qin Xiong had hit the nail on the head and poked his weak spot.
Capello forced a smile and ignored the reporter's tone. Then he seemed to be a little more confident and said, "Look, we're five points ahead of Barcelona. This is our result in the first half of the league."
The reporters were too lazy to discuss the current standings with Capello.
Only 16 rounds of the league tournament had been played. There were still 22 rounds to go. There was no point in discussing the standings now.
And Real Madrid was now without Qin Xiong and Ronaldo, who had been scoring goals recently, how would the situation develop?
How would they perform in the second half of the league tournament?
That was the main point!
When the reporters asked Capello to explain why Qin Xiong and Ronaldo were abandoned, Capello answered them solemnly with a straight face.
"From the first day I came to Real Madrid, I said my philosophy of coaching the team. This has also been supported and recognized by the club's chairman. We have the same reform philosophy to eliminate the bad habits that have existed for a long time in Real Madrid. The club will no longer give privileges to big-name star players. The development of the club will also take competitive results as the primary goal. Discipline will be the most important tenet that must be strictly required and enforced!
Qin Xiong and Ronaldo openly violated the team rules. These two people have a bad impact on the team, so the two must be separated from the team.
There is no need to talk about this. We have to look at the long-term. Our goal is to create a Real Madrid that will be competitive for a long time in the future! I repeat, discipline is something that every player must abide by! "
