Chapter 41: Cassie, Which Side Are You On?

Tang Jue returned to the hotel where Real Madrid stayed early, Henry and Ribery accompanied him, and the three of them had to discuss the next countermeasures. The atmosphere in the room was not very good, Henry and Ribery looked ugly, Tang Jue poured a glass of water for the two of them and sat next to Henry.

"Don, you say, what are we going to do next?" The scar on Ribery's face flashed a dangerous red, and since he recognized Tang Jue, he stood behind him without hesitation and firmly.

Henry picked up the glass of water and said lightly: "We have to think about this matter in the long run, our strength is limited, and we must get the support of Casillas." But will they still support us in this case? ”

Ribery frowned, he didn't understand why Henry was saying this, hadn't the local gang represented by Casillas always supported them before? How do you say that you want to get their support now?

Henry looked at the puzzled Ribery and explained: "The situation was not so bad before, at least it was not exposed to the eyes of the world, and tonight everything was exposed, and the club must intervene." How to intervene? There are two possibilities, one could be to criticize the coach and the other could be to criticize us. ”

"Casillas used to form an alliance with us for the Champions League, but now the team is like this, the people are scattered, and the Champions League is difficult to do. It's entirely possible that Casillas will stop supporting us and be on the side of the coach because then they can get a bigger benefit. ”

Ribery began to ponder. Tang Jue's relationship with Real Madrid's local gang is complicated, and during last year's World Cup, France and Spain met in the quarterfinals, and Tang Jue said at that time, "Let the Spanish team always bow in front of me." ”。 That's when he had a feud with the Spanish national team players.

Calderon wanted Tang Jue to have a good locker room environment. Driving Raul away, the local gang has a lot of problems with this. The so-called alliance is temporary, everything is for the Champions League. The Native Gang has never been closely linked to the French Gang. It is possible that they will use this opportunity to suppress the French gang and gain a bigger say in the dressing room.

Henry said, "Which side will Casillas be on?" ”

"It's important!"

……

At the press conference, Rijkaard praised his players for regaining their chance to compete for the La Liga title with a great victory. He praised Samuel Eto'o, "scoring twice and scoring a goal at a crucial moment. Help the team win. He was the best player of the game. ”

He is borrowing the mouth of the media to ease relations with Eto'o.

Paris Daily reporter Rasher asked unconvinced: "Mr. Rijkaard, if Don is not substituted, do you think Barcelona have a chance to reverse and win?" ”

Rijkaard was a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he said, "I admit that Don didn't end up before. The initiative is in the hands of Real Madrid. His two beautiful goals put Barcelona on the back foot. But there are no ifs in this world, and time will not turn back. The most sloppy victory belonged to Barcelona. ”

A reporter from Marca asked: "If it were your Real Madrid manager, would you replace Don early?"

This is actually to borrow Rijkaard's mouth to hit Schuster. For half a season, Tang Jue has conquered not only Real Madrid fans, but also the media in the Madrid region. They don't want to see Real Madrid sink like this.

Rijkaard thought for a moment and said: "Probably not, he has no injuries and no Champions League games recently, I will let him play the whole game." ”

It's best to make a mess of the horses, and Rijkaard has a good reason to let himself talk like that, but he's telling the truth.

The As-based reporter asked: 'Eto'o was named Man of the Match after the game, do you think he deserves it?' ”

Rijkaard exclaimed: "Of course, he scored the decisive goal, and he was the man of the match. ”

The team reporter asked: "If Don hadn't been substituted, do you think Eto'o would have had a chance to win the game?" ”

Rijkaard was a little impatient, how could it always be these questions, he said with a sinking face: "I have just said that without ifs, it is impossible to turn back time." I will not answer such questions, but I would like to ask you to ask other questions. ”

……

Barcelona captain Puyol praised Real Madrid's defence, "They gave us a lot of difficulty, pressing defence, compressing our attacking space, making it difficult for us to get shots. ”

He praised Casillas, "He did a great job tonight, he was world-class. ”

After the end, he did not forget to praise Tang Jue, "In the first half, he broke through the encirclement that we had carefully organized. To be honest, at that moment, I felt a sense of powerlessness in my heart. He scored lightning at the start of the second half and I thought we could lose it. Thankfully, the game took a dramatic turn and he was substituted. I don't know what's going on in their dressing room. ”

"I hope Don will soon come out of this and play beautiful football on the pitch again."

Puyol's speech won the goodwill of the French journalists and the reporters of the Madrid region, as well as the goodwill of all the journalists present. It's a kind of mind, not every player has it.

……

Rijkaard and Puyol left the stadium, and reporters in the audience began to speculate whether Schuster would show up. In the past, when a team lost a game, the head coach asked the assistant coach to attend a press conference.

"He won't show up, there's countless artillery fire waiting for him," Rather said. ”

"Not necessarily, there is a possibility that he will appear, he is a stubborn person."

"Well, the Germans still have a responsibility, and he shouldn't run away."

"No, I don't agree with that, there's a chance he won't show up."

The reporters began to talk, and just then, Schuster and Casillas stepped onto the podium. The reporters became excited, and the French media reporters did not look good, because they believed that the departure of the French trident from the field in this game was the reason for the defeat of the game. The root cause lies with Schuster.

"I lost tonight and the blame is on me. I didn't control the emotions of the players very well. Throughout the game, we did a good job defensively, pressing and not giving the opposition much space to attack. As for the attack, we did well and if it weren't for the numerical disadvantage, the win would have been ours. ”

Schuster spoke into the microphone and said: "I'm here to congratulate Barcelona on their victory at home. However, the initiative is still in our hands, we are still seven points ahead, and the La Liga title is still ours. ”

Lasser waited for Schuster to finish. "Real Madrid is now in turmoil. Do you think Real Madrid can still win La Liga in this situation? Also, in this situation, does Real Madrid still have a chance to make a difference in the Champions League? ”

Schuster denied that there was unrest at Real Madrid: "We didn't have the so-called turmoil. Other than that. We're going to do something in the Champions League. ”

Lather smiled and shook her head. He continued to ask: "After Tang got off the court, he had an argument with you on the sidelines, and almost got into a fight, and you said that there was no turmoil. Then excuse me. Were you discussing the details of the game, or were you talking to each other? ”

Schuster's face was ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "He has an opinion about the substitutions I made, which is a common occurrence in football stadiums, and you don't need to make a big fuss." ”

The reporter of the Marca newspaper asked: "It turns out that your substitution was a failure, after Don went off the field, it directly caused the players to lose control of their emotions, Henry and Ribery received red cards one after another, thus putting the horses at a disadvantage in numbers, which was the main reason for the defeat of this game." Some people say that you are the culprit of Real Madrid's defeat in this game, what do you think about this? ”

Schuster said in a deep voice: "I have said that as a manager, I take responsibility for the defeat in this game. ”

Ace Bao didn't intend to let him go, and asked, "What are you thinking about replacing Don with him?" He wasn't injured at the time and the Champions League group stage was over. Are you preparing for the Copa del Rey in three days' time? ”

Schuster was ready for the fire, saying: "The main reason for coming off is that we have a two-goal lead and I think we can win the game. He was replaced to give him more time to rest. Ruud van Nistelrooy has been doing well lately and he has expressed a strong desire to play before the game, so I don't think there was anything wrong with the substitutions. ”

"As for what happened after the substitution, I really didn't think he didn't understand it at all. So I said the responsibility for the game is on me. ”

Johansen asked: "What happened at half-time for Real Madrid? ”

Schuster, of course, will not tell the truth: "Nothing happened, we are fine." ”

The corners of Johansen's mouth curled, nothing happened, liar!

The reporter of the daily sports newspaper asked: "Someone saw a footprint on the door of the Real Madrid dressing room, whose footprint was it?" Is it Don's? ”

Schuster shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

The Daily Telegraph reporter asked: "Some people think that the red cards of Henry and Ribery were applied for on their own initiative. This is to retaliate for you to replace Mr. 160 million, do you agree with this view? ”

Schuster raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head and said: "I don't agree with this opinion, their fouls are tactical, and they have nothing to do with Tang, you are too strong in association, and the two have nothing to do with it." ”

"Okay, I've answered a lot of questions." With that, Schuster left the press conference.

Journalists turned their attention to Casillas, and they wanted to dig more inside information out of him. Casillas looked at the excitement in the reporter's eyes, exhaled, and said: "It's a pity to lose tonight, we could have won a victory, but who knows what will happen in the next second?" Perhaps that's the beauty of football, no one can predict the outcome of a game until it's over. ”

"It's like the weather, the sky was sunny two days ago, but it snowed today."

'It's too early to say who will be the La Liga champions, there are still many games in the season. It doesn't mean that we are leading for the time being, and it doesn't mean anything for Barcelona to close the gap. The game was fought one game at a time. ”

The media reporters heard Casillas's lack of confidence, and he keenly noticed that Real Madrid really had a problem, and it was a big problem. So they got even more excited, there was so much to be rewarded for this game. In addition to what's happening on the field, there's also a lot to dig out off the field.

The Spanish national derby is a visual feast for fans all over the world, as well as a feast for journalists.

"Now I can ask questions, but I'll only answer three questions." Casillas had to leave this land of right and wrong sooner.

He first ordered the reporter of the Marca newspaper. A reporter from the Marca newspaper asked: "Is it possible to think that Real Madrid has no confidence in the La Liga title now?" ”

Casillas shook his head and said: "You may have misunderstood me, I have never lost faith in the La Liga title, what I mean by that is that there will be a lot of accidents in the game, but it doesn't mean that I don't have confidence. ”

He then ordered the reporters of the newspaper As, much to the dissatisfaction of the Catalan and British journalists. Casillas had no choice but to give Johansen the opportunity to ask questions.

"What do you think of the spat that took place on the pitch between Mr. 160 million and SchΓΌster?"

This is not a vicious question, and it is to get Casillas on the side. So who will Casillas support? This is very exciting, the problems in the Real Madrid dressing room have been exposed to the world, which side will the strong local gang stand on? (To be continued......)
