When Qin Xiong drove his Bentley to the periphery of the training base, it had already attracted the attention of passers-by. Most of the people nearby were Real Madrid fans, and they naturally recognized Qin Xiong's car.
Someone took a picture of him going to the training base with a mobile phone, and the media also heard the news and swarmed over!
The King of Saints of the Bernabéu finally returned to the training ground three months after the start of the new season!
The atmosphere at Real Madrid's training ground was not very tense. After all, the team's record still did not need to be full of contradictions. No matter how great the pressure was, they were only two points behind Barcelona.
Qin Xiong's appearance at the training ground attracted applause from his teammates. Everyone was happy to see Qin Xiong return.
Bosque should be the happiest.
Qin Xiong first went to the medical department for a comprehensive physical examination and a simple physical test.
Bosque received Qin Xiong's medical report at noon. Qin Xiong's injury had healed, but the team doctor gave a conservative suggestion of a month to recover his physical state!
Qin Xiong naturally hoped to shorten this time, so he obeyed the instructions of the team doctor and the arrangement of the coaching staff.
When he was recuperating, his right leg could only do the simplest activities to ensure that the motor function did not degenerate. Now, it had to be gradually recovered and improved. No one knew if he could return to before the injury, but Qin Xiong did not seem worried. He was always full of confidence in himself.
The Madrid media reported the news of Qin Xiong's return to the training ground as: Real Madrid's most important "signing" has arrived!
It was not known if they were still intentionally or unintentionally mocking Real Madrid's poor operation of the summer transfer.
Qin Xiong could only speculate about the situation inside the team through the communication between his teammates and observing their expressions, but he would not make any comments.
When he could not contribute to the team, he would not go beyond his authority to ask others.
He quietly and single-mindedly carried out his recovery training.
Real Madrid welcomed the challenge of Juventus in the middle of the week.
Perhaps it was because of the loss at the Alpe Alpi in the previous game, but the entire Real Madrid team's fighting spirit was very strong in this revenge battle at the Bernabéu.
However, Juventus, who had just returned to the Champions League after going through ups and downs, was able to bend and stretch as needed. When they arrived at the Bernabéu, they unswervingly played defensive counterattack.
Real Madrid, whose defensive line had been severely flawed this season, had been disoriented by the Bianconeri's counterattack at home.
The siege was at a loss, but it was destroyed by Juventus' counterattack!
0:2
When the game was over, Qin Xiong, who was sitting in the box and watching the game, sat there for a long time. He put his hands in front of his mouth and looked around the stadium.
He heard booing!
Deafening boos!
It had been more than a year since the Bernabéu had heard the home fans booing Real Madrid.
It felt very strange, and he was not used to it. It was as if something that should not have happened had suddenly happened.
Qin Xiong stood up and turned to leave.
The defending champions of the Champions League were defeated by Juventus in both home and away games. The fans' patience finally reached the peak of a small explosion!
If it were anyone else, they would not be able to bear it.
After the game, Real Madrid suffered a storm of criticism!
It was as if everyone kicked a man who was down, and no one said anything good about Real Madrid.
Not only did they not succeed in their revenge at home, but they were also humiliated by Juventus, which built great confidence for Juventus to return to the European arena!
The afternoon after the loss, Real Madrid held a meeting to summarize the defeat of the game. Bosque emphasized that the players should prioritize unity and put the team's interests first.
But how many players would listen? No one knew.
In the tenth round of the La Liga, Real Madrid put on a thrilling performance at the Bernabéu.
They fell behind to Malaga three times, equalized three times, and finally completed a thrilling comeback.
Although the fans criticized the defensive line for conceding too many goals, at least the players' fighting spirit in the game was praiseworthy.
But when Real Madrid won the game and then looked at the game against their arch-rival, Barcelona, the joy of victory was quickly reduced.
Barcelona 6: 0 Real Valladolid!
Another bloodbath, another massacre!
Barcelona's madness was like a sharp knife stabbing into Real Madrid's heart!
Because Real Madrid was so crazy last season!
Now it had become their arch-rival who was killing everywhere, and they were in a muddy whirlpool.
How could such a feeling be pleasant?
Bosque noticed the change in the team's mentality. It was difficult for a team to ignore the changes in the outside environment and always maintain a stable mentality. After all, Bosque was not a manager like Ferguson or Mourinho, who could completely isolate the locker room from the outside world.
He needed to boost the players' morale and relieve the pressure through the results to avoid excessive media attacks that would interfere with the team.
Therefore, in the second leg of the Copa del Rey 116 final game at the Bernabéu, Bosque brought on a lot of main players.
The situation in the team's locker room became a little complicated under the heavy pressure.
The main players were not interested in a game like the Copa del Rey, especially after winning the Copa del Rey for two years in a row. Their psychological importance naturally decreased.
Coupled with the fact that the opponent was an unknown and uninfluential Real Federación, the main players did not dare to say that they would refuse to play like Scholes. But since they were going to play in the game, they had to show off.
Perhaps in their minds, they would be able to easily make their opponents submit to them in a battle on their home ground.
There were also the main players who were physically and mentally exhausted because of the continuous games. Playing two games in a row in a week was naturally a huge burden on the body. Coupled with the fact that everyone had national team duties, their psychological indifference to the Copa del Rey developed into disgust.
Under such circumstances, Real Madrid welcomed the challenge of Real Federación at home.
Van Der Vaart, Snede, Guti, Robben, van Nistelrooy, Raúl, and Real Madrid's elite players were all out!
Bosque needed the team to play with momentum at home. Even if it was a big victory, it could temporarily shut the media up for a few days!
That would be helpful for the team's next adjustments.
But he did not expect the team's performance on the field to be overly personal. The attacking players became unusually selfish, as if the word "dedication" was no longer in the personal Green Book.
Of course, the Real Federación's strength was not enough to withstand the impact of the individual talents of the Real Madrid players.
Within 90 minutes, Real Madrid scored four goals for the Real Federación.
One was not too many, but it was not a small number of goals.
But Bernabéu still shook the sky after the game!
Because the Real Federación scored three goals!
In the first leg, Real Madrid lost 2: 3 to the Real Federación.
The second leg was 4: 3, and the total score was 6: 6!
Real Madrid was announced to be eliminated in the Copa del Rey 116 final because they had one less away goal than their opponent!
The defending champion of the Copa del Rey did not even get through the first stage of the competition before they were defeated on this front and humiliated by the Real Federación!
