Chapter 446 Big Mistake

Lopez Caro.

The new Real Madrid coach is definitely a newcomer to the A-League and he has no experience in coaching in the top leagues.

Carlo was born in Seville on March 23, 1969. He started his coaching career from various small clubs in the city. He then moved to third-tier clubs such as Rebrijana, Palacios and Melilla. Later, he came to Mallorca B team, where he discovered players such as Campano and Guiza.

2001 was a turning point in Carlo's coaching career. He joined Real Madrid B team on the recommendation of Real Madrid official Ramon Martinez. After four years of hard work, he led Real Madrid B team to two consecutive promotions and was promoted to the Spanish Second Division last season.

Such a simple resume is really pitiful among European coaches, but in fact, Lopez Caro's dream is to become the head coach of Real Madrid.

But he never thought that this dream would come true so quickly! !

On that day, Carlo had just led Real Madrid B team to a 1-0 win over Tarragona away from home thanks to Soldado's goal. When he was about to return to Madrid with the players, he received a phone call from the club.

He was extremely surprised to hear the news. After the game, he did not take the bus back to Madrid with the team as usual, but flew back alone.

Being the head coach of Real Madrid is indeed an opportunity, but it is also a huge pressure!!

Now, after actually taking over this position, Carlo is under a lot of pressure, but he knows in his heart what he should do at present. Of course, the first step is to establish prestige in the team.

As the coach of Real Madrid's B team, Carlo is very clear about the reasons why Real Madrid's first team is currently performing poorly - there are too many big-name stars, there are players from various countries in the team, their personal styles vary greatly, and no one is willing to submit to anyone else, resulting in a lack of a directional center in terms of cooperation.

Of course, there are other reasons, but at least Carlo thinks this reason is the most important.

So, on the first day of training, he directly promoted Wang Li to be the main player, and the captain Raul was used as a sacrifice to establish his authority.

But despite this, the first-team players did not have much resistance.

As the prince of the Bernabeu, Raul also understood what Carlo meant. He just changed his jersey silently and went directly to the substitute team.

In the entire team, perhaps no one loves Real Madrid more than Raul. He is also very dissatisfied with the team's current results. If he can help Real Madrid improve its results, he would be willing to be a substitute.

"Or is this a good start?" Florentino saw this scene and smiled at Martinez next to him.

Martinez sighed and said, "I hope so."

He took another look at the black-haired boy on the field before turning around and walking out of the training ground.

Carlo's coaching of the first team had a good start, at least no player disobeyed his command.

Real Madrid players are also very aware of the team's current situation, and they also hope that the team's performance can improve. Although most people do not believe in Carlo's ability, the players still consciously obey the head coach's command. After all, having a coach is always better than playing casually by themselves.

What's more, Carlo has the support of Real Madrid's board of directors. If he doesn't listen to him, the result will definitely not be good.

Compared to Luxemburg's inaction in the team and just doing daily training every day, Carlo has his own style. Since becoming a football coach, he has attached great importance to physical training, and he himself also pays attention to this aspect of training.

"I like to run every day, which allows me to have enough energy to work," Carlo explained in an interview.

There is a small forest next to Carlo's house. Carlo exercises every day. He said that this can not only enhance physical fitness but also relieve work pressure.

Although he has now become the head coach of Real Madrid's first team, Carlo still insists on his own coaching style. Therefore, in the next two days, almost every player who failed to make the roster for the next game was required to undergo physical training for several days, which caused complaints in the team.

However, the players on the game roster are basically all the team's main players, so for the time being this kind of physical training is still on a small scale and the players do not have much resistance.

Recently, Wang Li has also been training his physical fitness. In fact, during the six months of suspension, although he has not stopped training, he has not participated in any real competitions. There are no energy-intensive activities in Luxemburg's training, so he feels that he should also do some training in this area.

In this regard, he also consulted Carlo and the club's professional physical trainer. However, the advice given to Wang Li by these "professionals" was very general. He felt that it would be better for him to work hard on cultivating his internal strength.

But even practitioners of internal martial arts must pay attention to external body training. In his spare time during these few days, he also did non-stop sprinting, shuttle running and other training that quickly consumed physical energy. As for strength training, after entering the professional training room, he also controlled himself from using internal force and only used his body's own strength for training.

But in terms of football skills, he felt that there was really nothing he could do, after all, he had already done very well in this area.

Seeing that the black-haired boy in the team has been working hard in training, Carlo is also very satisfied.

Although most of the players on the team obeyed his command, no one knew what they were thinking. However, this black-haired boy took the initiative to set an example, which made his subsequent work much easier.

In fact, when Real Madrid players saw that even the team's "200 million euro man" was training so hard, they also became more serious. After all, everyone is a professional player. Although there is a gap in their value, everyone still wants to work hard.

"You're doing well, but you're going to have a competition tomorrow, so you also need to conserve your energy." Carlo kindly reminded Wang Li while he was training seriously.

In fact, Carlo did not want to develop any long-term training content. At this stage, this is simply impossible to achieve because the team will participate in the next La Liga game on December 4.

Getafe Football Club (Getafe Club De Futbol) is a football club located in Getafe, Madrid, Spain. It is one of the teams in the Spanish Football League and was founded on March 30, 1983.

Until now, Getafe Club has only been established for 22 years, and it is the youngest of all 20 teams in La Liga.

There are three strong teams in the Madrid region where Getafe is located, including Real Madrid. The other two are Atletico Madrid (Atletico Madrid) and Rayo Vallecano. It is a miracle that the Catalan team, surrounded by three parties, was promoted to the La Liga and successfully avoided relegation.

In the 14th round of La Liga, this small club will come to the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid.

Despite facing this galactic giant, Getafe coach Schuster looked very ambitious in front of the media. In an interview the day before the game, he said: "Real Madrid is a respectable team. They have won countless honors. In the past, we were able to go to the Bernabeu to play against them, which was exciting enough. But now the whole team is very motivated. We go there not just for sightseeing, but to win."

Schuster had reason to say this, he was in a good mood now.

Before this season, Getafe only signed a trial contract with him, but as the league progressed, Getafe performed very well. Now they are ranked 9th in the league as a small club aiming to avoid relegation. This result has shocked the Spanish media.

So, just the day before, Schuster got a contract extension from the club, which means that he has now officially become the team's head coach.

It's not just the personal aspect that makes him full of determination. Now the whole of Spain is arguing about Real Madrid's coaching change, and he certainly knows the difficulties Real Madrid is facing.

It has to be said that it was Getafe's luck to meet Real Madrid under such circumstances.

Even though Real Madrid has many big-name stars, Schuster believes that the team still has a chance to win.

Before this game, Real Madrid did not make any comments. Even if the team's current situation is not good, facing a team that is almost like a tiny insect in their eyes, it would be unworthy of the identity of a big club to be so fussy.

The 14th round of La Liga, Real Madrid vs. Getafe, this is indeed a very ordinary La Liga game.

However, when the Getafe team arrived at the Bernabeu, they felt that the atmosphere in the stadium was a little off!!

When they participated in the training to adapt to the venue, they found that the entire Bernabeu Stadium was already full of fans. If this scene happened in the past, they would not care too much, but Real Madrid's record this season is not good. Generally speaking, it is good to fill two-thirds of the stadium, but what is going on now?

The number of media participating in the pre-match press conference also increased suddenly. A large group of media poured into the press conference hall, even making the hall seem crowded.

Schuster was very confused about this. He sat in a chair in the corner, watching the performance of Real Madrid's new coach Carlo, wanting to see what was happening.

"Excuse me, Mr. Carlo, will Allen Wang start in this game?"

"Alan Wang???"

Schuster frowned in confusion, he always felt that this name was so familiar, after a while, he suddenly realized that the suspension of Real Madrid's 200 million euro man had ended!!!

“I’m so stupid!!”

After realizing what was happening, Schuster immediately exchanged a few words with the media and went straight back to the locker room. He wanted to remind the players of the huge changes in Real Madrid.

Although Schuster has never actually seen Wang Li's game, the title of Mr. 200 million euros is enough to scare off a lot of people. Now he won't think about "what can I do if I'm banned for half a year". That kind of thing is something that God should consider. He must make sure the team is well prepared.

"You must pay attention to the black-haired boy on the other side during the game!!"

In the locker room, Schuster shouted anxiously, and then he temporarily arranged several players and told them some defensive strategies.

At this moment, he was indeed extremely anxious because of this sudden incident.

For this game, the Bernabeu Stadium was already packed, and all Real Madrid fans wanted to see what this 200 million euro man could do.

Unfortunately, when the players of both teams walked out of the player tunnel, they did not see Wang Li, which disappointed the fans, and many fans began to curse Carlo.

It can be said that the reason why most fans came to the Bernabeu today was because of Wang Li’s reputation.

When Wang Li and his teammates followed head coach Carlo to the bench, the big camera on the court was immediately pointed at them. The fans who had been watching the game on the court also saw him immediately, so they shouted like a tide: "Allen!! Allen!! Allen!! Allen!!"

The voice was much louder than when the main players were welcomed to the field just now, and it also made the big-name Real Madrid stars on the field jealous.

Now, fans are eager to see Wang Li play, even for just one minute. After all, the 200 million euro man has not played even one minute on behalf of the team since he came to Real Madrid.

Unfortunately, probably because of Getafe coach Schuster's pre-match instructions, many Getafe players always looked towards the Real Madrid bench, which led to Getafe's not very good performance.

So, Real Madrid took the lead in the 18th minute.

After Guti got the ball, he passed it directly into the penalty area from the center. After getting rid of Getafe defenders Contra and Berenguer, Ronaldo broke into the edge of the penalty area from the center and shot with the outside of his right foot into the lower right corner. The ball hit the post and went into the net. This was Ronaldo's eighth league goal this season.

While the fans were anxiously waiting, Real Madrid scored again in the 51st minute. This time the goal was scored by David Beckham, who came on as a substitute. His swan song of curved arc shot hit the bull's eye of Getafe's loss.

The kick was beautiful, but the applause from the audience was sparse. Some Real Madrid fans even secretly prayed that Getafe could score a goal, so that maybe the black-haired boy could play in the game.

Heroes always appear at critical moments, don't they?

On the court, the two teams entered a tense state, but the fans shouted in unison: "Allen, play! Allen, play!!"

At this time, Wang Li was sitting firmly on the bench, but he became the protagonist of the entire Bernabeu.

However, despite the high support, the team is still in an advantageous position and has not yet secured the victory. Although Carlo is a little hesitant, he still insists on not making substitutions. After all, winning the game is the most important thing.

As a result, Real Madrid easily won the game 2:0. Until the end, Real Madrid fans did not see Wang Li play in the game.

Although Wang Li sat on the bench for the entire game and did not participate in the match, he became the protagonist in the Spanish news and newspapers the next day.

"The 200 million euro man failed to start the game, Real Madrid beat Getafe 2:0!"

"Is Alan Wang, the focus of the Bernabeu, in poor form?"

"When will we see England's dancing masters shine at the Bernabéu?"

Most of the newspaper headlines on the next day were similar. Not only the fans were anxious about Wang Li's participation in the game, but the media were equally anxious.

Real Madrid has already "shelved" this 200 million euro player for half a season. La Liga has introduced such a superstar, but he is not seen playing in the game. Is there anything more depressing than this?

On television, the Internet, and other channels, the media and fans seemed to be in an uproar, constantly denouncing Carlo's actions and criticizing him for not allowing Wang Li to play in the game. This situation even spread to the senior directors of Real Madrid.

After the game, Carlo's phone was almost blown up by Real Madrid executives, and almost every call was scolding him for not letting Wang Li play.

As a temporary coach, Carlo could only respond, make promises and complain to these senior executives in a timid manner, which made him very depressed.

Amidst all the criticism and rebuke, Carlo, who had just taken over as Real Madrid coach and was under great pressure, was like a small boat in the ocean, fragile. He finally realized that the team's victory was not as important as the black-haired boy's participation in the game! !

Soon, the whole of Spain knew about this. On the night of the game, Carlo was called by the club president Florentino. At that time, there were several club directors and senior executives in the office.

"Why didn't you let Allen play yesterday? Winning the game is of course important, but we should also give Allen a chance to adapt to the game atmosphere and recover his form." Florentino went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

Mr. Perros, the club's deputy director of economics, also hinted: "Since December, in a few days, Allen's No. 21 jersey has sold more than 39,000 pieces. If Allen can play for a few minutes, this number will definitely increase faster."

Several club directors also expressed their desire to see how the stars that the team spent 200 million euros to buy would perform on the field. After all, they all paid for it, and the stars that were bought at such a high price were not to be watched.

Therefore, Carlo, who had no "human rights" in Real Madrid, finally realized that he had made a very serious mistake.

Although he was a little angry, when he came to the stadium the next day and saw Wang Li and Casillas doing free kick training, he still walked over and patted Wang Li on the shoulder, smiling and asking with concern: "How are you doing recently?"

Wang Li said: "No problem, sir."

Carlo nodded and said, "Train well, you will have a chance to play in the next game."

"Thank you, sir."

It can be said that this is a kind of surrender and also a gesture of goodwill.

Hearing what the head coach said, Wang Li also nodded with a smile, feeling somewhat happy. After all, he still wanted to participate in the game. The feeling of sitting on the bench was really not good.
