Chapter 287 Locker Room Conflict
For Merino, it was fortunate that Ramos was not there today, and the most fortunate thing was that he was not on the bench, otherwise he would not have waited for Leandri to come back from the front of the goal, and Ramos would definitely have punched him.
Whether Benítez can speak or not and whether he has worldly wisdom are all internal matters of Real Madrid, but as far as external matters are concerned, the honor and disgrace of the head coach are what they must absolutely defend.
Leandri went up and pushed Merino down directly, but in fact, there were already many players surrounding the sidelines at this time, and even the referee was not far away.
Bilbao quickly surrounded Leandri who was attacking. Bilbao, who is a tough guy, didn't care that Leandri was the legendary man with full combat power. Aduriz went straight up to confront Leandri. When he saw Leandri knocked his brother down, he punched Leandri in the chest without hesitation, but the Real Madrid goalkeeper reacted very quickly and dodged by turning sideways when he saw the opponent's attack.
At this time, Pepe, Varane, Kroos and others also arrived. Seeing Leandri being attacked by the opponent, they became very angry. You pushed our head coach first, and now you want to hit our goalkeeper, right? !
On the field, captain Marcelo immediately asked Aduriz for an explanation, but the Bilbao striker, who was angry, didn't care at this time and continued to hit Marcelo. Pepe next to him hadn't noticed it yet, but Leandri noticed it first.
He grabbed the punch with his right hand, then twisted it with his backhand and kicked Aduriz with his leg.
Not only that, seeing other Bilbao players continue to rush forward, Leandri stretched out his hands to hold a few people back from fighting. At this time, Pepe, the second god of war on the Real Madrid field, also took action.
He hooked his arm around Merino next to him and threw him to the ground again.
Many players from both teams rushed over to pull the players away, and the referee's whistle blew loudly, but there was no way to completely stop the angry players from both teams.
Red card!
Red card!
When the bright red color appeared in front of everyone's eyes, it gradually awakened their reason.
The referee Laos took out cards and showed them to the players of both teams.
Merino red card!
Leandri red card!
Aduriz and Pepe each received a yellow card for the action!
Two yellow cards and two red cards immediately stopped the dispute on the field, and then the whistle to end the first half was blown regardless of requests from both sides.
The matter was done, and Leandri accepted the first straight red card of his career with a blank face, but he actually did not regret it.
Ramos and Casillas are not here today. He cannot allow his opponents to treat his head coach like this. If the Real Madrid players do not come forward today, what will happen in the future? Do all teams dare to treat Benítez like this? Or any future head coach?
Marcelo and Kroos were still pleading with the referee when Leandri found Benítez still lying on the ground and pulled him up.
"Are you alright sir?"
"Why did you do that? Your red card left us one man short, and I had to replace you as goalkeeper."
At this moment, due to the dispute just now, countless cameras were aimed at the sidelines. Leandri had a dark face and tried his best to suppress his inner anger. He walked quickly into the player tunnel without paying attention to other people behind him.
The other players also noticed something was wrong and hurriedly followed Leandri. As soon as they caught up with him, they saw the Real Madrid goalkeeper smash open the door of the locker room, threw down his gloves heavily and desperately drank water.
"Ryan, sir he..."
"Don't mention him to me now!" Leandri interrupted Carvajal directly. Isco and others beside him also knew that something bad would happen soon.
Due to this unexpected change, other Real Madrid players and staff rushed back as soon as possible. After the team doctor entered the locker room, he checked Benítez and found that he was not seriously injured.
"Casilla goes to warm up, you replace him with Benzema in the second half."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone in the locker room changed. Even some people in Benítez's coaching team opened their mouths, not knowing how to stop it. No matter what the reason was, you were going to take down Benzema with such a tone?
"I reiterate, you must focus on defense and stay calm at all times. I don't want you to be given a red card because of impulsiveness."
"Do you think I acted impulsively just now?" Leandri finally decided not to endure it any longer.
Benítez nodded as a matter of course.
Seeing that the atmosphere became tense, Varane and Pepe, who were sitting next to Leandri, stood up and pulled Leandri's clothes immediately, but the Real Madrid goalkeeper was able to stop the Bilbao players who were rushing towards him on the field, and his anger prevented the two men from persuading him.
"Sir, I just took action because you are now the head coach of Real Madrid. No matter what the reason, I will not tolerate anyone taking action against our players. In my opinion, randomly bumping into you is bullying Real Madrid. I can't allow this to happen. I would do the same to anyone standing on the sidelines today. I don't think there is anything wrong with my behavior."
"But because of your irrationality we have to make substitutions now, which affects our tactical arrangements. Real Madrid must win, and victory is our glory."
"But football is never just about tactics!" Leandri retorted harshly.
The other players had never seen such a tense locker room before. Several newcomers tried to make themselves smaller so as not to let the dispute affect them.
Isn't it said that Leandri is a good boy? It turns out he has the courage to confront the head coach in the locker room. Although Benítez has some problems, he is the head coach of Real Madrid after all, brother!
At this moment, Benzema raised his hand with a smile to break the deadlock, "If Ryan is sent off for this reason in the future, you can replace me in the future, and I will not have any objection to it."
Ronaldo took a towel from the equipment manager and threw it to Leandri, and Kroos walked directly over to wipe Leandri's sweat. The meanings of the two were self-evident.
Although Marcelo and Bottlecap had endless arguments all day long, he also knew that as the third captain, he would have to stand up now. He estimated that Kroos was ready to let everyone in the Real Madrid locker room see the German's verbal offensive power at any time. These two were as good as wearing a pair of pants every day. The team favorite swore that Xiao Kuan would definitely say something bad about the head coach, and then Benítez would be dissatisfied and say something about Kroos, and other players would stand aside and blame Benítez, and finally Leandri would continue to criticize the head coach. The conflicts in the locker room would be completely ignited, and Real Madrid would begin to be turbulent again.
"Sir, even if you don't think it's necessary, as players we don't think there's anything wrong with Ryan Deli's behavior. It's our job to defend you in public. Right now, the most important thing for us is to make adjustments in the second half."
Marcelo's meaning was very clear. The locker room is definitely on Leandri's side in this matter. If you want to argue, you have to wait until the game is over. Then the management and Casillas will argue with you, but right now we just want to get points.
Leandri went straight into the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes. He didn't want to really quarrel with Benítez in the locker room, so it was better to just ignore it.
Neither side scored in the second half of the game, and the audience was bored and waited for the post-match press conference to see what Benítez would say. They saw the conflict in the first half's injury time clearly, but they were very curious about what the Real Madrid coach said to the goalkeeper that caused Leandri to change his face so quickly and walk back to the locker room.
Only the Meilingges are worried, everyone else just wants to have fun.
Well, well, is there finally going to be another big drama in Real Madrid’s locker room? Or is it the conflict between your recognized prince and the new head coach.
Peanuts, melon seeds, green beans and ice cola, please start your explanation, Benítez!
The head coach of Bilbao came with his players. When the media below asked what happened at the end of the first half, Aduriz, who had an argument with Leandri, told everything without any reservation. He even heard the friction between Leandri and Benítez because they were close. The Bilbao center quickly shared this shocking news with the world.
Reporters: I thought I knew that Benítez was an abstract person, but I didn’t expect he could be so abstract? It's really unlucky for Leandri to stand up for you but still be scolded by you!
Although they thought so, it did not prevent the reporters from attacking Benítez hard, and one sharper question after another added fuel to the fire of the relationship in the Real Madrid locker room. As long as something happened in Real Madrid, there would be traffic, and they could make a fortune with a series of strange news headlines!
What made the Real Madrid management far away in Madrid feel a little relieved was that Benítez didn't say much. He just said "I only answer questions related to the game" and left with a dark face.
The 5th round of La Liga is over, and the world's attention is once again on Real Madrid. Great, there's something fun to watch again. In the past two years, you have had such a harmonious relationship that it seemed like a play, but now conflicts are finally starting to arise again!
I knew it was performed for us before!
In the past, it was the Real Madrid captain PK head coach, and now it is the Real Madrid prince PK head coach. We don’t care about the reasons, we just want to see you laugh!
Cross turned around and saw that his wife was almost furious and trying hard to calm down. She was even angrier than him. He had already taken out his cell phone and was ready to shoot the first bullet.
"What are you doing? Are you going to scold Benítez?" As soon as Leandri saw Kroos unlock his phone screen, he knew what he was going to do. He leaned his head in his arms, feeling angry and aggrieved and slapped his phone away.
"Forget it, stop cursing. This matter is a bit serious now. Don't let the conflict escalate. I don't want Real Madrid to fall into the vortex of conflict again because of such a small matter. Look at how many reporters are outside the villa right now."
Cross bent down and kissed Leandri's hair, "But I don't want you to be wronged."
The Real Madrid goalkeeper still held Kroos's mobile phone tightly, raised his head to find his lips, and the two kissed gently, their lips and tongues blending tacitly to describe their own territory. This kiss had nothing to do with lust, but was a kind of reliance and a catharsis. Leandri also calmed down completely.
The warmth didn't last long, and Kroos's phone rang from Leandri's hand. It was a greeting from Muller and Neuer. The main purpose of their call was to comfort Leandri and to scold Benítez for being stupid.
Ring, ring, ring, a familiar voice sounded, it was the agent Lao Ka.
"Ryan, I'm here to take you to the club. The chairman is waiting for you."
