Chapter 274 Real Madrid's major crisis, Florentino's thoughts

"The game is over, Manchester United's total score is 3:1 Atletico Madrid, and they have successfully advanced to the next round of the Champions League knockout stage!"

"Looking back on today's game, it didn't seem too exciting."

"Perhaps after Atletico's three main players accumulated yellow cards and were suspended, it was destined that this situation would happen today."

"In the past, Atletico Madrid was an ordinary civilian team without big-name stars, big money, or the temperament of a wealthy club."

"But they relied on their iron blood and passion to stand on equal terms with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and even reached the Champions League final twice in three years."

"Unfortunately, Simeone has coached Atletico for so many years, and he may have developed a 'three-year itch' with the team."

"So, I wonder if it would be better to change the environment."

As a neutral commentator, Zhan Jun still said a few words for Atletico Madrid.

After all, he was on Xiao Chu's side, and the winner would always be more tolerant, even if the opponent was extremely disgusting.

In contrast, Neville has no stance and just mindlessly praises Manchester United, Chu Feng and Mourinho.

"Many people originally thought that the No. 7 jersey of Manchester United was a curse, which would not only limit the players' performance, but also make them gradually lose themselves, even if they had performed very well before."

"But I want to say -" Neville's voice became louder, "that's purely because the players are not capable enough to really control this jersey!"

"Best's talent and personality, Robson's fighting spirit and spirit, Cantona's dominance and determination, Beckham."

"Every owner of this jersey has a unique personality."

"As for what Chu's characteristics are, I will post a survey on my personal account, and fans who give interesting answers will receive a Chu-signed jersey."

Carragher next to him almost couldn't hold it in. It turned out that he said so much just to attract traffic for himself!

He really is my good partner. He can do anything.

At this time, Chu Feng was also invited by the media to participate in the post-match interview. He stood in front of the background board with the Champions League logo and asked, "Who am I looking forward to meeting?"

"Oh, the teams confirmed to advance are Tottenham and Porto, and the teams with a high probability of advancing are Real Madrid, Juventus and Barcelona." The reporter quickly gave several options.

"Hmm," Chu Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "If I were to choose, I would prefer Real Madrid."

Since Ronaldo left for Juventus, Real Madrid's performance has plummeted, and the previous head coach was fired before even four months in office.

Therefore, if Manchester United meets Real Madrid again, Chu Feng feels that they still have a relatively good chance of winning.

Finally, Chu Feng added: "Oh, Ajax is also OK."

Who was the person he hated the most before his rebirth?

Without a doubt, it is Ten Hag and Onana.

Needless to say, the former often makes outrageous moves. To be honest, with his signings worth hundreds of millions of euros, Chu Feng even suspects that the bald guy took kickbacks.

As for the latter, not only did he miss every shot on target in the Premier League, he also often complained about and humiliated his teammates.

If there is a chance to play against Ajax, he would like to try out Onana's running speed.

"Really? Then can you comment on today's game?"

another reporter asked.

"We performed well today. We followed the pre-match arrangements and achieved our set tactical goals."

"As for the first goal, I didn't expect it either. I just wanted to give it a try."

Chu Feng said modestly.

Everyone knows that the English media will exaggerate. If you exaggerate a little , you might see "Manchester United player Chu expressed confidence in defending the Champions League" on the headlines of the media tomorrow.

Next, Chu Feng briefly answered a few more questions, took the MVP trophy from the staff, greeted the enthusiastic fans in the stands, and threw his jersey to a little boy.

Because the boy held up a sign: "Thank you for letting me see the real Manchester United!"

When Chu Feng returned to the locker room, he found everyone dancing to rock music.

“Today was a lot easier than we thought. We have enough energy to show Liverpool the real Theatre of Dreams!”

Rashford screamed with excitement.

Chu Feng didn't say anything like "don't be careless" or "Liverpool is also very strong", etc. After all, now is a happy moment to celebrate the victory, and there is no need to say those words that spoil the fun.

That night, when we returned to Hale's villa, it was almost dawn.

After reviewing the game for a while, Chu Feng went to bed early.

But Manchester is still bustling.

Although Manchester United won the Champions League last season, beating Atletico Madrid and advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League still makes people feel very proud.

What does this prove? Premier League second > La Liga second! The next day, the news that appeared most frequently on major platforms was about Manchester United and Chu Feng.

The comments from the fans are even more frightening. - [Xiao Chu's mouth is a bit weird. Last time he said he wanted to play against Atletico Madrid, but...] - [If you ask me, it's better to play against a weak team. After all, there are many games in April, and Manchester United is fighting on multiple fronts.] - [Speaking of which, there is no same-league avoidance principle in the next round. Manchester United is likely to draw its own people, but I feel that this will be easier, after all, they know each other better.] - [With the current depth of Manchester United's lineup, they can still hold on in the first and middle of the season and won the League Cup, but if they want to win the FA Cup, they may collapse across the board!] - [Indeed, I hope Mourinho is well prepared in advance.] - [Let's focus on the present first. In the next league game against Liverpool, if Manchester United loses, they will give the initiative to Manchester City.] - [I looked at Liverpool's schedule. They will go to Germany to play Bayern three days after this game, so I guess Klopp will not go all out!] - [You think too much. This is a double red meeting!] - [.]

As for whether Manchester United bought traffic?

Don't question the ability of the internet celebrity team. Since the 1990s, you can often see Manchester United in sports weekly and football newspapers.

Mendes also played a big role in it.

Because there is no World Cup and European Cup this season, if Chu Feng can replicate last season's performance, he will definitely have a good chance of winning the Golden Ball!

So he spared no effort in public relations.

What's more, with successful cases like Cristiano Ronaldo, he is very skilled in many things.

For example, sponsor media columns, social media columns, journalist media, etc., and use recharge methods to increase influence.

And you don’t have to pay for it yourself, there are many sponsors who are willing to come forward to help.

In fact, these are all insider information in the industry.

Mendes had said to Chu Feng before: "Do you really think you can win the Ballon d'Or just by being good? There is a lot of commercial operation behind it, and every player will do that."

"Of course, strength is the first factor."

Chu Feng did not hold the idea of ​​a saint. He would hype when necessary and do public relations when necessary.

But he always kept one thing in mind: he was a football player.

Chu Feng absolutely could not accept someone developing into an internet celebrity like Lingard did, after all, to put it another way, it was a bit pretentious.

He loves the sport.

The next day, Chu Feng invited his teammates to his home and held a small open-air party.

By the way, watch the Champions League games.

"Fuck, isn't Real Madrid too weak? They let Ajax score in less than ten minutes?"

Watching Tadic assist Ziyech, De Gea couldn't help but complain.

In his eyes, Real Madrid has always been a strong team, and last season they pushed Manchester United into a desperate situation.

If everyone hadn't tried their best and Manchester United hadn't been luckier, Real Madrid might have won three consecutive championships.

"David, do you still want to go to Real Madrid now?"

Maguire asked casually.

The "fax machine incident" was a hot topic at the time.

"It's still more comfortable to stay in Manchester United."

De Gea shook his head.

"I heard that the value of Modric, Casemiro and others has shrunk by one third."

"Well, their form has declined severely."

Everyone was chatting idly, but who knew that not long after, Ajax scored another goal.

"Ajax won't really defeat us, will they?"

McTominay couldn't help but sit up straight.

However, the game became dull in the first half. Vinicius frequently tried to break through on the left side, but was unable to create a threatening attack.

The same goes for Bale on the right, his overall performance was unsatisfactory.

His previous aggressive playing style put too much strain on his body, making it difficult for him to maintain a high competitive state.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In addition, frequent injuries also make Bale miserable.

On the contrary, Ajax got better and better.

De Ligt in the backcourt, De Jong in the midfield, Ziyech in the frontcourt, a young and excellent central axis, allowed Ajax to play very calmly.

Coupled with Ten Hag's excellent offensive tactics, they finally scored again in the 60th minute.

"Ramos' red card suspension has a huge impact on Real Madrid. Look at the performances of Varane and Nacho. They are totally weak!"

"It's normal for Ajax to reverse the situation away from home!"

Listening to the commentator's comments, Chu Feng nodded.

Real Madrid's current level is sufficient, but Solari's radical reforms have caused many conflicts in the locker room.

To put it simply, I just can't control the situation.

The rest of the game went smoothly, Ajax defeated Real Madrid 3-1, reversed the score and advanced to the next round.

At this time, in the VIP stands of the Bernabeu, Florentino waved his hands angrily.

“Crack!”

The cup on the table was knocked over and broke into pieces on the floor.

After the game, Real Madrid lost all three fronts, including the Copa del Rey, League and Champions League. It can be said that they have lost all four major titles this season.

Once again, he became the 16th player in the Champions League! Whenever he thought of this title, he was furious.

Last year, the old man chose to sell Ronaldo to support Bale.

The reasons were known to everyone, but the ironclad facts told him that his idea was wrong.

And perhaps due to his personality, Bale doesn't like to communicate with others, and his performance in front of the media is not very good, and he is getting further and further away from his ideal image.

"Is golf so fun?" Florentino roared in his heart.

An idea came to his mind, which was to cash in on Bale and sell him to minimize the club's losses.

But the more important question is who should be the replacement? First of all, that person must have sufficient strength and high commercial value. How many people in the current football world can meet these requirements?

Suddenly, a voice rang out throughout the Bernabeu Stadium.

“Florentino, resign!!!”

Listening to the roar of Real Madrid fans, Florentino's face suddenly became gloomy. He stared at the Real Madrid players on the field and fell into long contemplation.

He knew in his heart that he had reached the most dangerous moment.

Rebuilding Real Madrid next season will surely be the biggest challenge in the club's history. He can either resign as requested by the fans or devote all his efforts to rebuilding Real Madrid.

It's just easier said than done.

"Help me make an appointment with Mendes tomorrow. I have something important to discuss with him."

Karl Lagerfeld, who was always known for his iron fist, was in trouble at this time and fell into an unknown confusion.

Because he knew that it was basically impossible to poach Chu Feng.

He has a unique status, traffic, and championship treatment in Manchester United, and he is also a product of Manchester United's youth training. What can Real Madrid use to poach him?

Unless there is another "flying boot incident".

But Florentino had reason to suspect that Manchester United's top management would fire Mourinho. - Chu Feng spent the next few days in training, occasionally taking Maria to school to enjoy the good times in college.

Oh, by the way, he also gave a few lessons to Manchester University FC.

Because the European University League is in full swing recently, the University of Manchester has entered the knockout stage.

Originally, the principal asked Chu Feng implicitly whether he could play in the game on behalf of the school, but Chu Feng decisively refused.

nonsense!

You let last season's Premier League Golden Boot winner play in the college league?

Although he is a Manchester student, he is also a registered player of UEFA.

Well, let’s not talk about whether this operation is legal or not. Chu Feng himself can’t bring himself to do it, so isn’t that pure bullying?

The principal didn't care after being rejected, after all, he just mentioned it casually.

If it works, it will not only be a good publicity for the school, but also the European University League championship will be within reach.

Time flies and it is March 11th.

While Manchester was still immersed in joy, another lively event came.

Old Trafford was already surrounded by people.

The streets were packed with fans in red jerseys, more than the previous day's match against Atletico.

After all, the Red Devils derby is England's annual feast.

Because after the construction of the Manchester Canal, the Northwestern brothers completely broke up, and a century of hatred continued.

They are enemies of each other! This is no longer a simple football match, but also a matter of dignity for Liverpool and Manchester.

When Liverpool fans walked to the entrance of Old Trafford, they raised their middle fingers to the statue of Sir Busby and kept saying "traitor".

This made Manchester United fans very angry.

Why was Manchester United able to rise from the ashes after the Munich air crash? It was because of Sir Matt Busby, who was also the representative of the Red Devils spirit!

“Manchester is my heaven!”

This sentence once said by Sir Matt Busby is still hung at the entrance of Old Trafford.

So, Manchester United fans crossed the cordon and attacked Liverpool fans! Beep beep beep!!! Fortunately, the government deployed a large number of police forces in advance, forcefully separated the fans of the two teams, and arrested several crazy fans . This calmed the conflict on the scene.

The conflict before the game seemed to indicate that today's game would be extremely intense.
