2. Barcelona, 29 points;
3. Villarreal, 27 points;
4. Valencia, 24 points;
5. Sevilla, 24 points;
6. Real Madrid, 23 points.
Yes, the front page of Marca uses images of the standings, and there is a bold red arrow between fifth-placed Real Madrid and leaders Ibiza, accompanied by the line: Oh my God, congratulations to us on being 12 points behind promoted Madrid!
What a thriller title for Real Madrid fans.
Although everyone knows that Ibiza cannot be measured by the body of a promoted horse now, the title is still a great shock.
Real Madrid criticised Marca for being alarmist.
However, Marca took a hard line:
Is Ibiza a promoted horse?
Be!
So, is there something wrong with this title?
No!
The newspaper Marca pointed the finger at Real Madrid president Calderón and called on Calderón to take the blame and resign.
Indeed, Schuster has his shortcomings, the German madman is slow to respond to the on-the-spot command, the tactical system is relatively monotonous, and he has lost his voice in the dressing room. But putting all the blame for Real Madrid's sluggish results this season on Schüsterl is obviously not objective, at least the massive injuries and stoppages are not something the Germans can control. What's more, the Real Madrid hierarchy has not even been able to bring Schuster the player he needs, and the German has no say in the transfer plan.
At the beginning of his tenure at Real Madrid, Schuster asked the top management to bring in Ballack and Diego, but Calderon and Mijatovic did not consider his recommended candidates at all. This summer, Schuster asked the top management to bring in a young center forward, but Calderon only favored the heart baby Ronaldo, which indirectly forced Robinho, whom Schuster relied on the most, and as for Van der Vaart, the only reinforcement this summer, Schuster only learned that the Dutchman had become his disciple after he reported. Real Madrid's slump this season stems from a total mistake in the concept of building a team at the top, so Marca believes that if the culprit is to be held accountable, the leadership team led by Calderón is clearly more qualified than Schuster.
Schuster's predecessor, Fabio Capello, brought long-lost discipline and team spirit to Real Madrid, and the Italian could have built a dynasty that belonged to the Bernabeu. However, Calderón thought that Capello's card was too big to control, and the Real Madrid president hastily sacked Capello and used the unknown Schuster. Schuster did not innovate in any tactics, but his temper was no less than that of Capello, and it was only a matter of time before the Germans parted ways with Calderon. In this way, the two championship managers have been removed in three years, and Real Madrid's tactical system and personnel composition can only be rebuilt again and again, which obviously does not benefit the team's growth. Perhaps what Real Madrid really needs is a good president who respects the laws of football
This time, for the first time, Marca publicly shouted out the name that Real Madrid fans missed: Florentino!
The newspaper Ace continued to support Calderón, which continued to blast Schuster, arguing that the manager should be held accountable.
The opinion of the newspaper is that Calderón, although not the best, is definitely not the worst, and the worst one is Schuster.
The Catalan media has reported in depth on the excitement, and Le Monde Sport believes that Real Madrid's away Spanish derby against Barcelona in the 15th round of La Liga on December 13 will decide the fate of Schuster.
However, "Daily Sport" believes that the time will be earlier, the newspaper believes that the Real Madrid general meeting on December 7 is the key moment, "Daily Sport" analysis that before the general meeting, Calderon needs to have Schuster as a scapegoat for him, and the Real Madrid president will not dismiss the German early. And once Calderón wins the opposition at the general meeting, the first thing he will have to do is Schuster in order to salvage this tragic season.
The Catalan media at this time became sympathizers of Schuster, who said that in a way, Schuster had fallen victim to the struggle at the top of Real Madrid. Although the German has given Calderon a long time without complaint, he will still be kicked out of the Bernabeu by the president of Real Madrid like a splash of dirty water after losing his usefulness.
At this time, Barcelona president Joan Laporta also came out to the ground, saying that Barcelona had lost two titles before, but, "It wasn't Real Madrid who won these two titles, it was Barcelona who lost the title." Laporta believes that Barcelona was above Real Madrid in the first two seasons, both in terms of personnel and tactical system, and the degeneration of the red and blue team is only due to internal problems.
Objectively speaking, when Real Madrid is in trouble, it is the Barcelonans who care about them the most, and conversely, when the Barcelonans are having a bad time, the Madridians also pay the most attention to Barcelona.
Loving and killing each other for a hundred years, sincerely praying that the other party is not satisfactory, this is a kind of persistence.
On December 1, 2008, the system drew at the end of the month, and Fang Jue drew the [Yellow Bad Luck Card] for the second consecutive month.
Seeing that the number of [Yellow Bad Luck Cards] in the system locker changed from 2 to 3, Fang Jue was pondering, he always felt a little strange, the system let him draw bad luck cards for two consecutive months, it didn't seem so simple, it should have a deep meaning.
Three days later, Ibiza hosted Belgian giants Club Brugge.
In this game, Ibiza only needs a draw to lock up the group qualifiers, and in addition, because Saint-Etienne, who has completed three consecutive rounds of the game, has a bye in this round, so as long as Ibiza wins this game, the ranking can jump to the top of the group.
In the end, thanks to a header from centre-back Koscielny, Ibiza won 1-0 at home to Club Brugge and get the three points he wanted.
After winning this game, the points situation of Group G of the UEFA Cup group stage has changed, Ibiza won all three games and ranked first with 9 points, Saint-Etienne ranked second with 7 points with two wins and one draw, Brugge ranked third with two draws and one loss with 2 points, Rosenborg ranked fourth with two draws and two losses, the Norwegian Premier League team has played four group games and is sure to miss the group qualification, and the Danish league team Copenhagen ranks fifth with 1 point with one draw and two losses; From this ranking, we can see a very interesting situation, that is, now ranked first from the bottom of the group, Copenhagen, who only got one point in three games, still has the possibility of competing for the third place in the group and obtaining the right to qualify from the group, and the opportunity is in their own hands, the last round of Copenhagen visited Belgium, directly facing the current third place in the group Brugge, as long as Copenhagen wins away, it can rise to the third place in the group and qualify.
It can be seen from here that the schedule of five teams and three teams in the group stage is really not a problem for many teams that are slightly stronger.
Two days later, in the 14th round of La Liga, the match between Ibiza and Deportivo La Coruna was the first match of the round, and this schedule also made Fang Jue very unhappy, they just played the UEFA Cup on Thursday night local time in Spain, and then the league was ushered in on Saturday night, with only two days of rest in between.
Ibiza FC had previously proposed to La Liga to postpone this round of the league by one day, but it was rejected by La Liga, the reason?
Their opponent in this round, Deportivo La Coruna, disagrees.
Obviously, Deportivo La Coruna's calculation is simple, Ibiza is tired now, and this is a good opportunity for them to steal chickens.
6 December, Deportivo La Coruna, Stadio Riazor.
Ninety minutes of play were over, and the Riazor Stadium booed the sky.
The scoreboard on the pitch glared and read: Real Deportivo 0:4 Ibiza.
Juan Mata opened the scoring for Ibiza, Robert Lewandowski doubled the lead for Ibiza and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice to seal the win.
The day after the race, the Sunday Telegraph ran the headline: 'Wake up' Ibiza, can't be provoked.
The Sunday Telegraph spoke to Ibiza's young star Juan Mata, who said he struggled to get out of bed this morning because he was too tired, and then before the game started, the team's coach Fang Jue said to them, "Go ahead, the opposite side is Deportivo La Coruna, who doesn't agree to let you rest for an extra day." ”
Fang Jue felt compelled to send a thank you note to Getafe FC.
In the subsequent match of this round, Getafe stubbornly held their opponents to a 3-3 draw at the Stadio de la Love Song in Villarreal, and after blocking Real Madrid in the previous round of the league, the 'yellow submarine' again in this round.
However, Barcelona then beat Valencia 4-0 at home to the Bernabeu to keep up with Ibiza at the top of the table.
The good news always came last, and it seemed so pleasantly surprised, Real Madrid lost 3-4 at the Bernabeu Stadium at home, and the game was up and down, with Adriano taking the lead, Raul equalising, Romaric and Canute scoring successively, and Higuain and Gago also scoring twice in a row to equalise again. However, Arjen Robben unnecessarily complained that the referee had accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off, and Sevilla side scored with a header from Renato to beat Real Madrid.
This is Real Madrid's third defeat in the last four league games.
I'm sorry I was wrong, I misunderstood you - Fang Jue felt that he had to say sorry to Sevilla, this team was generally killed by Barcelona in the last round of dough, not because they were too incompetent, but because they were accumulating strength to stop Real Madrid.
However, if he can, Fang Jue still hopes that the next 'blocking hero team' can target Barcelona, instead of bullying Real Madrid, which is suffering from internal and external troubles.
Because Fang Jue was worried that Schuster would not be able to hold on.
At the end of the La Liga standings, Ibiza leads with 38 points, Barcelona is 6 points behind Ibiza and ranks second in the league with 32 points, Villarreal is third with 28 points, Sevilla is fourth in the league with 27 points, Valencia is fifth in the league with 24 points, and Real Madrid is sixth in the league with 23 points.
Yes, after losing this game, the Galaxy Real Madrid is already as many as 15 points behind Ibiza!
Marca newspaper launched the heaviest artillery bombardment against Real Madrid president Calderón, the newspaper's chief columnist, David Murphy. Antonio. Harvey even bluntly said that if he was Calderon, seeing that he was 15 points behind the promoted horse, he would simply kill himself by and eating.
"Marca" believes that Real Madrid has fallen into such a pitiful situation, and Calderón is the most directly responsible, this chairman has a big mouth, lies, braggarts, and does not do anything, and everyone is punished.
However, it is interesting that the newspaper "As", which previously criticized Real Madrid coach Schuster and shouted for Schuster's dismissal, suddenly defended Schuster in such a bad situation.
In the past two and a half months, Real Madrid has suffered 20 injuries of varying severity, and in fact, in the past two weeks, Real Madrid has three main players who have been unable to play due to injuries, namely Ruud van Nistelrooy, Cannavaro and Gonzalo Higuain, who just sprained his ankle in China.
According to the statistics of the newspaper As, Real Madrid has accumulated 23 injuries this season, which is much higher than the other teams in La Liga, with Sevilla (17), Barcelona (13), Athletic Bilbao (12), Valencia (10) and Villarreal (6).
Expanding the statistics to Europe, only Chelsea in the Premier League surpassed Real Madrid with 26 injuries, but at the same time, the number of first-team players in the English team (26) was three more than Real Madrid.
The newspaper As, for its part, pointed out that this was related to the poor turf at the Bernabeu, but a closer look found that such a conclusion was not objective. First of all, Real Madrid spent 2 million euros in October this year to just re-lay the turf, and secondly, in addition to Real Madrid, the probability of the away team being injured at the Bernabeu is not high, especially when Ibiza is a guest at the Bernabeu, pressing is active, and running is called fast.
The opinion of the newspaper is that the players have been injured so often that it is completely beyond the club's expectations, and objectively this has also affected Schuster's record, so there are forgivable factors for Schuster.
Why did the newspaper suddenly defend Schuster again?
Quite simply, the pro-Calderon newspaper "As" suddenly found that in such a bad situation, Schuster may not be able to last until the Real Madrid member meeting a day later, so they immediately began to defend Schuster, since Schuster is excusable, then Calderón, as the president, will be much less responsible.
PS: Thank you very much for the reward from [Sin Sect].
