Chapter 326 Villa, I will remember you!
When the news of Camacho's dismissal reached Barcelona, the Barcelona locker room exploded.
Everyone was totally surprised by this, it made absolutely no sense.
"There are only three rounds of the league and Real Madrid have won the first two. Even though it's a double defeat in one week, I won't resign."
"That's right. It's only September now and the league has just started. If there are mistakes, we can just adjust. Why is he fired?"
"This is definitely not simple. I guess there is probably something wrong in the locker room."
"Previously, the media reported that Real Madrid's superstars were very dissatisfied with Camacho's training."
"There is such a possibility. When Real Madrid lost to Leverkusen two days ago, didn't the media say that the Real Madrid star deliberately lost the game to get rid of Camacho? If that's true, it's normal for Camacho to resign."
"Not really, that's the Champions League group stage."
"Who knows? After all, in Real Madrid, the superstars are much more important than the head coach."
"I read the news that Camacho resigned and Florentino and the Real Madrid board agreed. There must be something wrong. If there was no problem, why would the Real Madrid president and the board agree to resign at this time?"
"This is not the first time. Camacho had a falling out with President Sanz and resigned in anger."
The players were discussing the resignation of Real Madrid coach. After all, this is a big deal both in La Liga and in European football.
You know, when Real Madrid selects coaches, it always focuses on famous coaches, but most of the famous coaches nowadays have jobs. If Real Madrid poachs them, it will definitely trigger a series of chain reactions. In addition, Barcelona is Real Madrid's arch-rival, so they are naturally very concerned.
Su Dong did not participate in expressing opinions. He just sat in his seat and listened silently.
What happened in Real Madrid was more of a warning to him, but also left him with some lingering fears.
He almost went to Real Madrid. If he had really gone, he would be the one who would be worried now.
In addition, he was secretly glad that he resolved the misunderstanding with Ronaldinho in time to prevent the situation from getting worse. Otherwise, there might be problems within Barcelona, which would be troublesome.
After joining Barcelona, Su Dong landed in a wealthy club, but it also brought more problems. He needed to proceed step by step and manage things carefully. He could no longer do whatever he wanted as before.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese had complained about this a lot.
…
While everyone was talking, captain Puyol walked in from outside and clapped his hands vigorously, calling everyone's attention.
"I just received a notice from the club. From now on, none of us are allowed to comment on Real Madrid's issues when we are interviewed by the public. We are not allowed to discuss this topic in public. Is everyone clear?"
This decision was both unexpected and reasonable.
If Real Madrid changes its coach and Barcelona takes advantage of the situation, will it be of any benefit to them?
The answer is no.
On the contrary, there will be more negative impacts and may even lead to retaliation from Real Madrid.
That's unnecessary, isn't it?
"Captain, have you heard any news? Why did you resign?" Sylvinho asked with concern.
As a Brazilian, he is curious about everything.
Of course, everyone in the locker room was also very gossipy and looked at Puyol.
"I don't know the details, but it should be a conflict within the locker room. Camacho couldn't handle the locker room and resigned in anger."
Puyol's words made sense, and everyone nodded, thinking that this should be the answer.
"Owen's joining is a big trouble for the Real Madrid locker room," Puyol added.
"Why?" Su Dong asked.
He was very concerned about this issue because he used to be that "Irving".
"It's very simple. Real Madrid's front court is already overcrowded. Even a player like Solari can only play as a substitute. Owen is here, and Morientes has been recalled from Monaco. Who will be the main player?"
"In the match against Espanyol, Camacho replaced Ronaldo with Morientes. This may be due to tactical considerations, but think about it, will Ronaldo be happy? No one will be happy, right?"
"Irving replaced Raul. What do you think Raul will think as the captain of the team?"
Puyol's series of questions left almost all the Barcelona players present speechless.
Otherwise, why would some people say that the outcome of a football game is determined the moment the players from both sides step onto the field!
That's exactly what I mean.
"I heard some news. It is said that before the match against Espanyol, Florentino personally came to Barcelona to supervise the game. He should have also tasted something unusual. Before the game, there were two groups of people. I don't know who they were, but these two groups put pressure on Florentino one after another and expressed dissatisfaction with Owen's joining."
"In fact, Camacho wanted a defensive midfielder. He didn't want Owen, but Florentino signed Owen and didn't introduce a defensive midfielder. So whether it's Leverkusen or Espanyol, their offense is directly facing Real Madrid's defense line. Not to mention Samuel, I guess Cannavaro and Nesta would be helpless even if they came!"
Everyone plays football, so they naturally understand what Puyol means.
When the offensive players face the back line directly, the defenders are the most helpless and also the most embarrassed.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid made a long pass behind him, Oleguer tried his best to return to defense, Valdes left the goal to attack, and the two failed to grab the ball, and almost collided with each other.
After Torres got the ball, Puyol had no choice but to watch Torres score.
Fortunately, Su Dong and Ronaldinho both scored in the first half, otherwise the team would have lost points in this game.
Barcelona still let Edmilson play as a defensive midfielder in this game, but there were still dangers. What would the situation be like without a defensive midfielder? Real Madrid and Barcelona both focus on offense and neglect defense, which is understandable. However, now, Real Madrid seems to be going further and further away on the road of superstars.
…………
…………
Although Barcelona issued a gag order within the team, other teams did not.
Many Spanish players, including Atletico Madrid's Torres, have spoken out and expressed their support for Camacho.
Real Madrid held a press conference and expressed regretfully that it accepted Camacho's resignation.
Due to the contract between the two parties, Camacho will continue to hold other positions in the club, otherwise he will face huge compensation.
Camacho said that he would rest abroad for a while and had no intention of returning to coaching in the short term.
After the head coach was dismissed, he took his team with him. Real Madrid will temporarily have goalkeeper coach Raymond as acting head coach.
This is also sad.
Who would have thought that a team as strong as Real Madrid would have to be represented by a goalkeeping coach.
You know, before this, Real Madrid's fire-fighting head coach was Bosque. He had saved Real Madrid three times, and the last time he even saved a Champions League, and was directly promoted to a regular coach.
Precisely because Bosque is the most successful fire-fighting coach in Real Madrid's history, many fans are calling for Florentino to invite Bosque back from Turkey, but the Real Madrid president does not seem to have such intention.
According to Marca, Real Madrid's top target for coaching is England national team coach Eriksson. The Swede is seeking a new job due to the zippergate incident, so it is not impossible for him to coach Real Madrid.
…
The resignation of Real Madrid coach was certainly big news that shocked European football, but the league was not suspended because of it.
In the middle of the week, La Liga ushered in the fourth round of matches.
Real Madrid will face Osasuna at home.
This game was very difficult, not only because of the previous two defeats, but also because of Camacho's dismissal, which led to the media and fans being very dissatisfied with Real Madrid's superstars.
Even Carlos revealed in an interview before the game that the players were responsible for Camacho's dismissal.
Then a very interesting scene occurred, that is, Real Madrid fans actually booed these superstars in their own home stadium.
Whether it is Beckham, who is constantly involved in gossip, or Ronaldo and Carlos, without exception, as soon as they get the ball, they will be booed by Real Madrid fans.
The opponent Osasuna also played very tenaciously, adopting a defensive posture and determined to fight a war of attrition with Real Madrid.
The two sides fought hard for an hour, but Real Madrid had no way to deal with their opponent.
Finally, in the 61st minute, Beckham scored a direct free kick into the Osasuna goal.
In just four league games, Beckham has already scored two direct free kicks.
In the end, Real Madrid beat Osasuna 1-0 thanks to Beckham's direct free kick.
…
Barcelona's game will be one day later than Real Madrid's, and their opponent is Zaragoza.
This team has only won two games at Camp Nou in history, but on this night, at Camp Nou, they took the lead after just fifteen minutes.
There was an error in the back pass from Barcelona's defense, and the opponent's forward David Villa seized the opportunity, made a decisive run, got the ball before the goalkeeper, and volleyed the ball into Barcelona's goal.
This local striker, who rose to fame last season and was once listed by Valencia as the successor after Su Dong left the team, was very active when facing Barcelona.
This goal conceded once again exposed the problems in Barcelona's defense, which is really worrying.
"Did you see that, Su? That guy is provoking you." Ronaldinho said happily to Su Dong.
After the two resolved their misunderstanding, their relationship became more and more harmonious.
Su Dong didn't think Villa's provocation was malicious. He simply wanted to prove to others that he was not Su Dong's successor and he was no worse than anyone else.
If it were Su Dong, he would do the same thing.
"What are you going to do?" Ronaldinho asked with a smile.
"Of course we can just do whatever we want!" Su Dong also laughed, "If we don't teach him a lesson, wouldn't we look like weaklings?"
Villa?
I'll remember you!
Open your eyes and take a good look!
