Super Marshal

"It was a good game, no doubt, it's just a pity that it belongs to Atletico Madrid."

At the press conference after the game, Bosque publicly praised Atletico Madrid's performance in front of all the media reporters who came to the scene, thinking that the Sheets deserved a victory.

Three to zero, this is the final score of the game, but it is not a reflection of the whole process.

Because Atletico Madrid obviously relaxed their pace after scoring three goals in half an hour, and then created a lot of opportunities, but they couldn't grasp them. In the second half, Gao Han started to replace him, including Cristiano Ronaldo. The multiple substitutes to hone the team's bench players.

"Atlético Madrid taught us a very hard lesson in the game, they showed us a higher level, more integrated football and they deserved this victory."

"It's hard to accept, it's disappointing, even I don't want to admit the gap between our two teams, but we have to accept that, it's very difficult for us to beat a team like this. "

The entire conference hall was eerily quiet.

Everyone couldn't believe their ears and suspected that they had heard it wrong.

Is this what Bosque said?

No one will doubt that the head coach who has played for Real Madrid all his life has feelings for this club.

But now, he is publicly praising his rival in the same city, how is this possible?

"Mr. Bosque, we are very shocked by what you said just now, but I want to know why you think Real Madrid is not as good as Atletico Madrid?" An AS newspaper reporter stood up and asked.

"You know, Real Madrid has more..."

"I know, I know." Bosque reached out his hand to signal that he didn't need to say more, "I know what you want to say, and I understand what you mean. I understand more clearly the situation our team is facing now."

"Believe me, no one knows this team better than I do, and no one loves it more than I do."

The scene was still silent, and everyone focused on the old man who had just suffered a humiliating defeat. Sitting next to him, Gao Han, who had always been the protagonist, became a supporting role at this moment .

"But what I want to say is that although we have a lot of superstars, we have lost a reasonably functioning system. Look at this game, Atletico Madrid's offense on the court, their offensive and defensive transitions are much better than ours. more, and more efficiently.”

"We were the champions of the Champions League last season, but everyone knows that we are not perfect. We lost to our opponents in the league and in the Copa del Rey. This proves that there must be some aspects of us that are not good enough. Our opponent."

Bosque's remarks caused many media reporters at the press conference to think deeply.

Throughout the summer, Real Madrid has always revolved around the introduction of superstars. The defense line, which was originally a well-known weak link, has not been strengthened, but has sold the main central defender Karanka, which is seriously unreasonable.

"Mr. Bosque, do you think that someone should be responsible for the team's fiasco?" A reporter stood up and asked.

But Bosque shook his head in frustration, "No, no one is responsible for this, the players did their best, they did the best they could, and losing the game hurts them more than anyone else. "

"If someone needs to be responsible for the fiasco, I am willing to take the responsibility and even resign because of it."

"But what I want to say is that we have to make some changes."

Discussions arose immediately at the scene.

All the media reporters were guessing what the change Bosque was talking about, and some reporters even asked Bosque this question, but the coach of the Galaxy Battleship was not stupid, he didn't get the trick, he just said that he didn't know.

Gao Han also supported Bosque's remarks.

"For Real Madrid, I can't say much because I'm an outsider, but I firmly believe that the problems of this team should not be borne by the coach or the players, which is unfair."

Bosque responded with a grateful smile.

"There is no doubt that Real Madrid are very good at making big news. They say they want to bring in a superstar every year, which is very attractive, but I don't think this is a reasonable signing mechanism, because operating a superstar will consume a lot of manpower for the club. And material resources, this will definitely affect other aspects."

"Furthermore, in addition to driving the sales of jerseys and driving commercial income, superstars really have such a big improvement in the overall strength of the team. I have reservations about this point."

"There is no doubt that Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world, but we have also seen that Zidane's joining has not changed the situation in La Liga, and the same is true for Ronaldo."

For the team's performance in this game, Gao Han gave a very high evaluation, thinking that every player of the team performed very well, and the team also played very holistically and became more and more competitive.

"Whether I can maintain a winning streak has never been a question I should consider. I will always only think about one question, and that is how to beat my opponent in the next game, that's all."

"As for the Spanish Super Cup, I don't think we are sure of it."

"At the Bernabéu, Real Madrid can often perform miracles, which requires each of us to be careful."

…………

…………

The words of the two coaches at the post-match press conference quickly became the headlines of major Spanish media.

Especially Bosque's remarks caused an uproar.

Many Real Madrid fans believe that the coach's words are justified.

Judging from the team's performance, the more superstars there are, the worse the team's integrity will be, and the more severe the offense and defense will be torn apart.

But there are also fans who believe that the blame for the team's poor performance should not be borne by superstars.

"If we bring in Ronaldo up front, Vieira in midfield and Nesta in defense, will anyone say our team is not competitive?"

Clearly, this is a dispute that can never be compromised.

However, Bosque's words obviously caused him trouble.

The team's general manager Valdano came to the sports city early the next morning and appeared in front of him.

"You have to clarify publicly again." Valdano said solemnly.

Bosque looked at him as usual, and asked lightly, "Why?"

The relationship between the two is not bad. When Valdano came to Real Madrid to coach, Bosque was the head coach of the second team and even served as Valdano's assistant coach. It cannot be said that the personal relationship is very close, but it is not bad.

"You should know that this will cause trouble for the club." Valdano said with a stern face.

"No no no, Jorge, you should know that everyone who loves this team, including me, will never be its trouble, but some words, some things, why can't they be said?"

Valdano suddenly felt that the Bosque in front of him was a little strange.

In the past, he always looked cowardly and kind, and spoke kindly.

But now, he is fighting hard.

"We don't need strikers, you know, Jorge, our attacking lineup is good enough, we were one of the strongest attacking teams in Europe last season, what really hindered us was our midfield, Our line of defense."

Listening to Bosque's words, Valdano sighed and nodded: "I understand, we are also actively operating..."

"But the defender I wanted didn't come, Rafael Marcos, who only needs five million, but there has been no movement so far, and you even sent Gremi and Karanka away."

Having said that, Bosque pointed out three fingers, "I only have three central defenders left now, Hierro, Elguera and Campo."

"Aren't there still Pavon and Luwen?"

Bosque sneered, "You know better than me, Jorge, do you think Pavon and Luven can stop Villa and Torres?"

Valdano was at a loss for words.

"Jorge, you know? I'm scared to go into the dressing room, I'm scared to face my players, I don't know what to say to Solari, I don't know how to comfort Morientes. I really want to tell them that the outside rumors are all fake, but do you think I can do it?"

Valdano was still speechless.

"You have also been a head coach, you are also very familiar with Real Madrid, and you are also very clear about Morientes' feelings for this team. I believe you also know how much the rumors of the outside media have hurt the team. Isn't it?"

Valdano closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and looked back at Bosque.

"Yes, Vicente, from a personal standpoint, I understand you, but this is really a mistake. Someone leaked the details of the negotiation in private, which no one wants."

After a pause, the Argentine's face darkened, "As for players such as Morientes and Solari, I am indeed one of the decision-makers, but you should understand that I am not the main decision-maker, I can only provide reference Opinion."

Bosque understands Valdano's difficulties and also understands the current situation of the team.

"With our current situation, we can't beat Atletico Madrid at all!"

Valdano sighed deeply again, obviously he was already mentally prepared for this.

Gao Han's team is too strong!

In just two years, he turned the Sheet Army into such an iron army, which no one could have imagined.

"Don't worry, for the time being, your position is still strong." Valdano comforted.

But after hearing this, Bosque sneered, as if he didn't care.

"In addition, I will continue to follow up on the recruitment of central defenders, but it will definitely not be Rafael Marcos, because he does not fit the team's recruitment strategy, we need a more famous and influential central defender .”

"Nesta?"

"No, he has rejected us and will not leave Italy."

"Lucio? Or Ayala?" Bosque asked again.

But after asking, he shook his head himself.

Nesta stayed in Italy, Ferdinand went to Manchester United, and the only central defenders interested in Real Madrid were Lucio and Ayala.

The former shined in Leverkusen and performed well in the World Cup, which is very in line with the team's signing strategy.

As for Ayala, this is a well-known and powerful central defender in La Liga, and it is not a day or two to be followed by Real Madrid.

But is it so easy to convince Leverkusen and Valencia to let them go?

What's more, all the team's energy is now focused on Ronaldo's negotiations, who cares about the signing of the central defender?

Having figured this out, Bosque suddenly wanted to do what Valencia's head coach Benitez did, shouting at Valdano, don't blame me if you don't sign up and lose.

But the words rushed to his lips, but he forcibly held back and swallowed them back.

He can't say it!
