Words:1614Update:22/07/18 02:07:27
The entire Real Madrid team returned to Madrid with a huge sense of loss.
There were still fans waiting for the team's return at the airport, but they were not there to welcome the triumphant return of the heroes. Instead, they were there to hold the team accountable.
The fans shouted obscenities for Capello to get lost and also booed the players who did not perform well in the game.
Only a few players, such as Qin Xiong and Casillas, could still be respected by the Real Madrid fans.
The team disbanded after arriving at the airport. Sylvia drove to pick up Qin Xiong. He went straight to bed after taking a shower at home.
But there were many people who could not sleep.
Capello flew into a rage out of humiliation because of Qin Xiong's words in the interview. The reporters took turns to make things difficult for him. At the same time, his anger could not be quelled. He knew that his Real Madrid coaching career was coming to an end, but he still could not accept Qin Xiong's "insubordination." He made up his mind that as long as he was in charge, he did not want to see Qin Xiong again!
Real Madrid president Calderón and football director Mijatović could not sleep either. The two men had a secret meeting in a hotel in Madrid to discuss the issue of changing the manager.
Mijatović said worriedly, "We're going to play Barcelona in the league tournament. No manager wants to take over the team at this time."
Calderón replied irritably, "Yes, no one wants to be the scapegoat. There's a lot of pressure. We have to play Barcelona as soon as we take over, and the morale of the team is so low. It's fine if we win or draw, but if we lose the game, it's a terrible start."
"But the date has to be set. Let's do it after the game against Barcelona."
Calderón deliberated and said, "Well, let's do it then."
Mijatović muttered before he left, "I don't know if the chosen person can stabilize the situation."
.....
The next day, the Spanish media exploded. At this time, they were no longer divided into camps. They were all attacking Real Madrid.
Especially when Capello chose to use a conservative strategy to try to win the game at the last minute of the Champions League game, only to be killed by AC Milan. It seemed to prove that his unwavering defensive philosophy at Real Madrid ended in failure!
The fans' protests escalated. A large number of fans came to the club to demand the immediate dismissal of Capello.
Calderón went into hiding. He had already released the news to the people inside.
Change the commander?
Of course he would change the leader!
But when Real Madrid lost 0: 3 to AC Milan at home, which manager was willing to take over?
The biggest obstacle on the schedule was the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 18 final and the upcoming Spanish National Derby.
At such a sensitive time and a game that could easily cause a crisis of confidence, no manager would be willing to enter Real Madrid at this juncture to clean up Capello's mess.
He could only wait until after the El Clásico!
And at that moment, it was time for Capello to pack up and leave.
Qin Xiong was ordered by Capello to train with the second team. Capello really did not want to see Qin Xiong again, whether it was training or the game. Even if there were rumors that he was about to be dismissed, he had to maintain his authority.
Qin Xiong did not go to Barcelona with the team at all for the 26th round of La Liga.
He watched the live broadcast of the game at home.
In the El Clásico, Barcelona also had a lot of problems, but it was still a lot better than Real Madrid, whose morale had been hit by the ups and downs of the Champions League knockout stage.
Real Madrid did not play like a team at all. Barcelona finally defeated Real Madrid at home by 3: 1. After five months, they returned to the top of the table with a one-point lead over Real Madrid!
After the game, Capello was still holding a post-game press conference. He was answering questions about Real Madrid's defense in the game when the reporters in the audience suddenly whispered to each other.
Capello had a bad feeling.
Before he finished speaking, a reporter in the audience broke the order of the press conference and directly said, "Mr. Capello, Real Madrid just announced on their official website that you have been fired. What do you think of the Real Madrid Club's approach?"
Sure enough!
Capello's facial muscles twitched slightly as if he had suffered a great humiliation.
Because Real Madrid did not inform him, but directly announced the news to the world.
This meant that he was ruthlessly kicked out by Real Madrid!
Capello did not answer any questions. He just got up and left. The reporters immediately took out their cameras and took pictures of him leaving.
At the same time, in order to do their best to calm the negative impact of the El Clásico defeat, the Real Madrid Club held a press conference at the same time in addition to firing Capello.
President Calderón and Mijatović appeared in the club's press room.
Calderón maintained his poise and the smile on his face was impeccable. It was as if he did not know that the team had just been ravaged by the Catalan army in Barcelona.
He sat on the stage and said proudly, "After careful consideration by the club's management, we say goodbye to Capello. We wish Capello success in the future and thank him for his contribution to Real Madrid.
After implementing this decision, the club needs a top manager to continue to lead Real Madrid forward.
Here, I am proud to announce that the new Real Madrid manager is Vincent Del Bosque! "
After saying this, Calderón stood up and took the lead in applauding. Bosque came in from the side door. The old manager, who was once humiliated by Florentino as not worthy of Real Madrid, returned to Real Madrid with a simple style!
The reporters were all surprised.
In fact, the industry also knew that after Real Madrid's big loss in the first leg of the Champions League 18 final, it was impossible to change the manager before the El Clásico because the responsibility was too great. The more top the manager, the more he cherished his reputation.
It was just that no one expected Calderón to invite Bosque, who was idle at home, back to Bernabéu.
Bosque sat down after shaking hands with Calderón and Mijatović on the stage. He said in a very ordinary tone into the microphone, "I'm very happy to be back in Real Madrid again. I can't remember how many times I've attended the press conference for the appointment of Real Madrid manager. Before this, there were temporary appointments and official appointments.
Real Madrid has a group of talented players. I hope to be able to carry forward the spirit of Real Madrid here and bring honor to the club. "
Bosque's words were very honest. Calderón said before the press conference ended, "It's a dream for Bosque to be able to come back. Bernabéu is his home. Everyone in Real Madrid welcomes his return!"
