When Capello repeatedly talked about discipline, the reporters did not buy it.
Ronaldo might have relapsed into his old ways. It was indeed unforgivable!
After all, Ronaldo was absent from the morning training on the day of the game. He came to the club at noon and was sent to the second team without even seeing Capello's face.
There was also some dissatisfaction in his heart. Ronaldo, who had recently regained his former kingly temperament, simply went back to Brazil in a fit of pique and directly spent the Christmas holiday.
However, Qin Xiong's situation was a special case in the eyes of the outside media.
Qin Xiong had asked for leave!
And Capello approved it!
After reconstructing Qin Xiong's whereabouts on that day, from when he entered the nightclub, what he did in the nightclub, to when he left, the time was not long. Secondly, he did not indulge himself in the nightclub. In addition, the tabloids dug out that Qin Xiong was accompanying his girlfriend on her birthday that day.
This was actually a very romantic love story in the Western world!
After all, Qin Xiong and Sylvia met in the Netherlands, and after Qin Xiong became a big star player step by step, a superstar, and even the hottest sports star of the year, he did not leave Sylvia. He accompanied his girlfriend on her birthday and returned to the team on time to participate in training the next day.
What did he do wrong?
Maybe he should not have asked for leave.
But why did Capello approve it?
In short, there were many contradictions in it that did not make sense. Of course, some reporters with special information channels were still able to analyze the truth.
Capello abandoned Qin Xiong. The fuse was not what Qin Xiong did the day before the game. Whether it was taking leave to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday or going to the nightclub, it did not exceed Capello's bottom line.
What really provoked Capello and made him completely break up with Qin Xiong was that Qin Xiong spoke rudely to Capello on the training ground. It could even be said that Qin Xiong humiliated him verbally!
He described his current football philosophy and ideas in Real Madrid as worthless!
Perhaps it was also a fact that Capello was most unwilling to face!
Capello did not want to have a superstar in the team. He wanted to be the boss. He wanted all the players to obey him!
But the record of a team, especially a top team, which team did not have a star player? No supporting characters?
In his heart, he was extremely repulsed by the fact that the player's status had weakened his authority!
He had learned from his mistakes. Did he still need to look back on his conflict with Francesco Totti in Rome?
After he left Juventus in the summer, the Zebra Prince Del Piero, who was relegated with Juventus, simply went public with the conflict between him and Capello, describing Capello's time as a coach as "days of terror."
Today's situation in Real Madrid was no accident!
Even if Capello did not admit that he caused the current situation, the reporters would not let him go.
A series of questions that challenged Capello's mental endurance and humiliated him bombarded his nerves!
"In the context of Qin Xiong's great contribution to Real Madrid, was your decision to abandon Qin Xiong just for personal reasons? Because Qin Xiong humiliated you verbally on the training ground, attacked your coaching philosophy, and opposed your idea of building the team. "
"The boos in the Bernabéu stadium were for you. It means that the fans are not satisfied with your decision. How do you respond to this?"
"Do you think Real Madrid will push Qin Xiong into the transfer market, or will you be dismissed before Qin Xiong leaves? From an economic point of view, the value of your contract is far less than the value of the benefits that Qin Xiong can bring to Real Madrid. "
.....
Capello finally left in a huff.
There were too many questions that he could not answer.
Because this was a bottomless pit. As long as he answered one, even if it was only one, countless questions would follow. There would be no end to it!
Thankfully, the winter break was here. Being away from the competition for a while would reduce this negative impact on the overall environment.
At least Capello thought that the impact of Qin Xiong and Ronaldo being abandoned would not continue to fester.
At the same time, he also had time to adjust the team to face the second half of the league tournament.
When Calderón successfully brought Marcelo, Higuaín, and Gago back to the Bernabéu stadium from South America, he was faced with a mess.
Calderón needed to sort out his thoughts.
What did he need?
Obviously, as the president of Real Madrid, he could not let emotions dictate how he should act.
The highest goal was the Real Madrid Club's competitive results!
The club's operations had to serve this goal.
Now, just looking at Real Madrid's results, it was not too big of a problem.
They were ranked first in the league tournament, five points ahead of Barcelona in second place.
They advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League.
The Copa del Rey also advanced to the next round.
At this time, it was difficult for Calderón to make a choice. If he supported the players, it was bound to anger Capello.
If Capello were to leave, would the matter be resolved?
No!
Things would only get worse!
Because there was no manager, or a manager who had enough courage and prestige to intimidate the Real Madrid locker room, Real Madrid would only become more chaotic!
A top manager was not easy to find, and a top manager who would take over the mess of Real Madrid in the middle of the season was even rarer. Who would be willing to take a great risk to come to Real Madrid for a short trip?
Without a suitable replacement, or without a better choice than Capello, Calderón dared not and could not touch Capello.
Ronaldo was a product of Florentino's era and could be sacrificed. This was also the attitude that Calderón showed when he first came to power to deprive Ronaldo of the number 9's suppression method that he gave to Qin Xiong.
On the other hand, Qin Xiong was the opposite. This was a beautiful piece of work in Calderón's transfer market. Not only did it show that he was more capable than Florentino, but it also proved that this transfer had brought him great returns!
He could not give up on Qin Xiong.
Calderón was in a very awkward situation.
He tried to negotiate with Capello. He wanted to take a step back with Capello.
Ronaldo could leave. Fine! He could satisfy Capello's request.
But Qin Xiong had to return to the starting lineup.
Capello did not accept such a proposal. He always insisted on letting Ronaldo leave. As for Qin Xiong, his biggest concession was that Qin Xiong could train with the First Team, but his position in the team was not guaranteed.
Anyway, they had entered the winter break. Calderón planned to have a second negotiation with Capello after some time. He had too many things to do. The aftermath of the management's previous shock had not yet subsided. Now, there was such a mess in the team, which made him feel battered and battered.
But things were developing in a good direction in his view.
In an interview before Christmas, Calderón said that the team had no problems. As for the public announcement that Ronaldo could leave the team, it was decided by the club for competitive reasons.
Because the team bought the young and promising smoker Higuaín from South America!
No one believed this kind of nonsense, but everyone was used to Calderón's big mouth, so they did not delve into it.
