Chapter 1228 Coaching
Compared with the Real Madrid players who were celebrating in excitement, the Manchester City players were completely in a desperate mood. They even felt that there was no need to play the second round and they were destined to lose.
.
Looking at the expressions on the faces of the Manchester City players, even a hard-hearted person can't help but feel that they are a little pitiful.
Manchester fans once again fell into confusion and silence. The score of 1:3 was really hard for them to accept. They didn’t know what to use to support themselves in watching the game and their love for the team? So who will come?
Love us poor fans!
Real Madrid fans have been waiting for this opportunity. They will not sympathize with the enemy. Seeing the opponent's fans fell into silence, their voices once again overturned the entire Etihad Stadium. This time, they
They are even more excited because their team not only leads away from home, but also scores three away goals. This is definitely a huge and irreversible advantage in the Champions League quarter-finals.
The most important thing is that the next round will be played at the Bernabeu Stadium. In terms of strength, Manchester City is obviously not Real Madrid's opponent. Do they want to create a miracle? That is really a slim possibility.
At this time, Manchester City fans no longer care about suppressing the voices of Real Madrid fans. They are all in confusion. Other people's voices cannot enter their ears at all. After waiting for so many seasons, how come it is the end?
We are still going to fail on the way to the quarter-finals!
As for their ambitions before the game, their sarcasm and ridicule of Lin Yu, and their vows to make Real Madrid fans unable to express their voices from the first minute to the last minute, all of them were
Having left it behind, hope is gone, and thinking about what to do will only increase their worries. Now they would rather forget what they said before the game.
Trailing 1:3, there are only about ten minutes left in the game. Unless Manchester City can score at least two goals in the last minute, all hopes will be as unreal as a dream.
However, even Manchester City fans and players themselves cannot believe this almost extravagant hope, because after playing the game for such a long time, everyone can see that although Manchester City is no longer the same Manchester City,
Real Madrid has also become stronger than before. It is also more united and more mature. They are really not the same team as this Real Madrid.
The fact that Manchester City can basically rank first in the Premier League is influenced by many factors. After all, the situation in the Premier League is relatively chaotic. For a team like Chelsea, it is no problem to play against a strong team, but it is always a problem to abuse the opponent, so
It is normal to be one point behind Manchester City. If you think you are stronger than Chelsea because of this, that is really a ridiculous thing.
If Manchester City fans recall carefully, they will find that in the two league games this season, they were still beaten by Chelsea. Since Chelsea can double beat them, and Real Madrid, who is more powerful than Chelsea, can't double beat them.
Play the same?
Set against the low mood of Manchester City fans and players, there were cheerful cheers and celebrations from Real Madrid fans and players.
Real Madrid's team anthem "Onward! Madrid!" hovered over the Etihad Stadium, as if a dragon was mocking everything here.
…
Pellegrini sat on the sidelines with his head in his hands, his eyes very complicated, and he was even a little painful, which made people feel a little sympathetic. After all, he is already quite old, and he still has to go through such a humiliating battle, no matter what,
It's a bit pitiful.
The whistle sounded at the end of the game, but Pellegrini did not move. His thoughts were extremely confused. He didn't know if he was still suitable for this team. He didn't know if he would continue to play in this team.
The team stays.
His cautious character has always been criticized by fans and the media. If he had been bold enough in many games, he might have been able to win. But he didn't. In every game, he was too cautious and too cautious.
He only regrets it when he loses the game.
He did this many times, but he could never get rid of this problem. Alas, after all, it was a habit developed over many years. How could it be so easy to get rid of it?
And his character may not necessarily be a shortcoming, he always tells himself this. After all, in the seasons he has coached Manchester City, he has helped Manchester City win three Premier League championships, three League Cups, and two
The only regret about the FA Cup is that there is no Champions League trophy.
Not only is he regretful, but President Mubarak, who has always supported him, will also be regretful. If a more suitable head coach had not been selected, Pellegrini would have really left.
He looked at the sky at the Etihad Stadium, and suddenly his vision went dark and he fell down on the sidelines.
Chaos broke out on the sidelines and Pellegrini was taken to hospital.
…
In the final game, Real Madrid beat Manchester City 3:1 away from home. Not only did they score three away goals, but they also led the game. This basically means that Manchester City has been eliminated.
In fact, everyone knows that with Manchester City's strength, it is very difficult to win at the Bernabeu Stadium, let alone win more than two goals. That is simply unimaginable.
However, after this game, there were not many arguments or provocations, because Pellegrini's fainting made both sides calm down a lot, and even people like Lin Yu did not provoke their opponents.
In an interview with the media after the game, Lin Yu said: "No matter what, Pellegrini is a head coach who has dedicated so many years to football, and he was once the head coach of Real Madrid. I think even if
I have been reviled by Manchester City fans, but I still want to send my blessings to Perez and wish him a speedy and healthy return!"
Some people say that Lin Yu is hypocritical, some say that Lin Yu is sarcastic, and some say that Lin Yu is mature.
No matter what outsiders say, Lin Yu doesn't care. He has never said that he is a good person, nor has he admitted that he is a bad person. He is just being himself. For him, human beings are inherently contradictory. You may
It’s possible to do things that make people hateful, but also to do things that are admirable. There’s nothing surprising about that.
Some people say they can't understand Lin Yu, but in fact it's not that complicated. To put it bluntly, Lin Yu is a person who goes his own way. He only does what he thinks is right. It's that simple!
…
Real Madrid brought back a victory from Manchester City and a 3:1 score, which not only received a warm welcome from Real Madrid fans. It also received unanimous affirmation and praise from the Spanish media.
In any case, Real Madrid is a La Liga team, and they represent La Liga. Unless it is a newspaper like "Daily Sports" that is completely hostile to Real Madrid, most Spanish media still support Real Madrid and Lin Lin.
Especially when Real Madrid plays against foreign teams in the Champions League.
"Real Madrid advances to the quarterfinals!"
"Marca" used a very arrogant and affirmative headline. Although the second round of the game has not yet started, they have determined that Real Madrid can advance to the quarterfinals.
"Lin Yu once again destroyed his opponent by himself!"
The focus of "Asian Daily" is entirely on Lin Yu. It is no wonder that "Asian Daily" has been ridiculed by many media recently as becoming Lin Yu's royal media.
In fact, not only these two newspapers that have a good relationship with Real Madrid expressed congratulations on Real Madrid's victory, but many foreign media also sent their blessings. No matter what, it was a wonderful game.
I'm afraid the only one who is unhappy is the English media. Facing the defeat of Manchester City, the Premier League's dream goal of three teams reaching the semi-finals has lost another layer of guarantee. This is very sad.
Currently, among the top 16 Premier League teams are Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, but no one believes that these three teams can break into the semi-finals. The reason is very simple. Arsenal has encountered its old enemy Bayern Munich again. Basically,
Bayern never took advantage of it. Liverpool's opponent is Juventus from Serie A, which is not easy to mess with. Only Chelsea's opponent is easier to deal with, so even the English media does not believe that what they expect will happen.
Sometimes, the media is really ruthless. They clearly know that Pellegrini is hospitalized, but they still make various criticisms and judgments about Pellegrini's tactics, character, formation, etc.
In fact, Pellegrini had expected this a long time ago. If he hadn't thought of this, he wouldn't have been so stressed that he passed out on the court.
Many media bluntly stated that it is time for Manchester City to change their head coach. Although Pellegrini has done a good job, he has never achieved results in the Champions League. This is intolerable.
"First of all, of course we want to wish Pellegrini a speedy recovery, but I still have to say that Pellegrini's character weaknesses prevent him from building Manchester City into a strong team. Why do you say that?
That's because he is too cautious and always treats Manchester City as an underdog, so he is not confident in the tactics he develops and can win the game, but when it comes to key games, he loses the chain, which is very troublesome."
"After the game, a very bad news came from the Manchester City locker room. It is said that forward Aguero was very dissatisfied with Pellegrini's tactics in the second half. He felt that the team should attack more instead of retreating!"
"Maybe someone is going to take advantage of Pellegrini's illness to seize power. Is something bad going to happen in the Manchester City dressing room?"
"In Premier League clubs, there is no shortage of head coaches being driven away by players!"
"In fact, you can't blame the players. Mansour invested so much, but Manchester City basically had no power to fight back against Real Madrid. Let me ask you, what do you do with so much salary?"
"The strength gap is one thing, but we always believe that there is a problem with Pellegrini's tactics. He is always led by others, and he naturally loses in the end. If it is still like this when we go to the Bernabeu
If you do, then I think Manchester City really have no hope!"
There were so many voices of criticism that Pellegrini's family members did not dare to let Pellegrini watch the news these days to prevent him from being stimulated again and passing out.
However, after Pellegrini thought for a long time in bed, he finally submitted his resignation to Manchester City's senior management. He was really tired. He had never felt so tired in coaching before. This is simply not coaching. Every day
It's like being tortured.
On the day he received Pellegrini's resignation, Mubarak called Mansour: "Boss, what should I do? Do you want to allow him to leave?"
"Do you have a suitable replacement in mind?" Mansour asked.
Mubarak thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "Apart from Everton's head coach Martinez, I can't find a second candidate more suitable to succeed Pellegrini."
"Where's Simeone? Haven't you been contacting him privately?" Mansour asked.
"Originally Simeone was planning to leave Atletico Madrid, but I don't know what happened last season. He actually renewed his contract with the club at the last stage. This made me very helpless." Mubarak sighed.
Chapter completed!
