Chapter 151 hapter 151
If you are not someone who pays attention to Real Madrid games all the time, seeing Diego Lopez come to Real Madrid as a substitute at a young age from Sevilla, where he is guaranteed to start, must feel awkward.But things have to go back to two days ago.
After the head coach, captain, and vice-captain staged a big show, Mourinho handed over the league, Champions League, and Copa del Rey starts to Casillas.In the first round of the Copa del Rey 1/4, Real Madrid beat Valencia 2-0 at home. In the second round, they went to the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia. Mourinho adjusted the defense significantly. Arvelo Ya and Fran together with Varane and Coentraan.
This is the third time the two teams have met in eight days.Last Sunday's league, Real Madrid beat the Bat Legion 5-0 in Mestalla, and Valencia suffered the worst home defeat in La Liga.Mourinho chose to rotate in this game, but this game was not as smooth as people imagined before the game.
Everything happened in the No.13 minute of the game, when Real Madrid scuffled in the restricted area, the referee Lhasa whistled Sissoko for a foul.But Fran ignored the referee's free kick for a while, because Arbeloa volleyed and kicked Casillas. Casillas fell to the ground and seemed to have a serious injury to his left hand.
Fran turned his head and saw Casillas clutching his palms, and Arbeloa beside him, whose face turned pale for an instant, and his mind went blank for a moment.He hurriedly squeezed away the Valencia crowd who seemed to think that Casillas was pretending to be injured, half-kneeling and looking at Casillas's swollen palm, and the words "are you okay" stuck in his throat.
With ten fingers connected to his heart, Casillas's painful forehead was covered with cold sweat. His eyes were originally empty, and then he focused on Fran.Fran quickly stretched out his hand to support him to stand up. Casillas originally wanted to persist in the game, but finally gave up this idea.He reached out to the sidelines to make a sign for substitutions, and took off his captain's armband with his uninjured hand. The movement was very slow but trembling, and then he didn't hand it directly to Fran, but put it on his arm go.
Casillas touched Fran's armband with his forehead, and his voice was very low. He didn't know if he was speaking to Fran or himself, "I wanted to be fine too, but it seems that it's still a bit late." After Casillas said, Yas walked to the sidelines, but Fran's eyes were reddened by his friend's words. He didn't care about the people around him, and trotted to Casillas, "It's really fine, we still have many years."
This is just a year of going the wrong way. After so many years, he and they can have many more years!
And Casillas only used his uninjured hand to push Fran, who was wearing the captain's armband, to the center of the court, and said nothing more about the rest.
The goalkeeper who came off the bench was Adan. In the end, the game was tied 1-1. Real Madrid successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. If there is no accident, the opponent will be Barcelona.Casillas announced after the game that the injury was not serious and he was forced to stop for two months. At least he will stop Real Madrid's next few focus games, the league, the King's Cup three games against Barcelona, and the Champions League double station Manchester United.
Adan's performance in the first half did not win the trust of the club, so he bought Diego Lopez.
Did Lopez come suddenly?Indeed, from the exposure of the news to the completion of the transfer, it was extremely fast, and it seemed that Casillas was really recruited temporarily because of his injury.But everyone in the circle understands that Lopez bought Real Madrid from Sevilla with the same transfer fee as Villarreal to Sevilla. It seems that all formalities have been completed and returned to Madrid.
Obviously, this will not be a last-minute move, although it has been rushed due to Iker Casillas' injury.
While Casillas was recovering from his injury, no one in Mourinho or his coaching staff went to visit the Real Madrid captain, and most of the players only came together once.Knowing that Sarah Carbonero went abroad for an interview, and the family was taken care of by a temporary nurse, this time Fran was able to visit this good neighbor more often.
It's just that once the topic of two people's chat involves the team, there will always be conflicts and differences.
"Alvaro Arbeloa said he didn't do it on purpose. I know it should be true, and I hope it's true." Fran didn't want to whitewash Arbeloa, he just thought he knew him For so many years, Arbeloa can't do anything like destroying Casillas in the game.Of course Casillas understands, but as he himself said, "But I can't help myself to think about him with the deepest malice."
"He even made a speech to praise Diego Lopez, right?" Casillas said calmly, "Of course there are many reasons, to give the new goalkeeper trust, he has a close relationship with Lopez, etc. But anyway, we two It would have been impossible to be friends again, never again."
"Do you think many of my actions are stupid?" Fran asked Casillas with a wry smile, and Cassie sneered, "Yeah, you always want to hold on to everything, you always want to do everything Afraid of losing, but in the end you will always be in the mud."
"I have no chance to ease up with Arbeloa, and I have no chance to shake hands with Mourinho." Casillas said and looked at Fran, who could vaguely distinguish sympathy from it. , "You are actually not suitable for Real Madrid. If you were in Barcelona at the beginning, you would be much happier. How wonderful, Dream [-], Dream [-], and Catalonia eliminated Spain, what a normal thing! No one will blame you anymore, maybe even Ibrahimovic could integrate into Barcelona because of you."
"Why do you want to send me to Barcelona all of a sudden?" Fran's voice was a little hoarse, which made Casillas even more erratic, "Actually, I almost understood from the time I was 'injured'. I will not be pleased with the club's senior management. Mourinho will leave at the expiration date, and as long as I am still a top goalkeeper, I will not be in danger."
Casillas knew that he had probably done many stupid wrong things, and he also thought about trying to make up for it, but it's a pity that things are impermanent.But as long as he is still a top goalkeeper, then he is still the captain of Real Madrid; if his state declines significantly, the result is self-evident.
But people compare themselves with Fran all the time, but why is Fran so much more relaxed than himself?Casillas thought as he looked at Fran, who was always being cared for.
After Lopez came to Real Madrid, he quickly relied on his own strength to push Adan back to the bench again.Although he is not as strong as Iker Casillas for difficult saves, he doesn't make the low-level mistakes that Iker Casillas occasionally makes.
Mourinho frowned slightly on the coaching bench, and his assistant Karanka didn't quite understand Mourinho's worries at this time. After all, in his opinion, Real Madrid had an overwhelming advantage in the scene. "Is there any trouble?"
"...I just understand a little bit why he plays more proactively in the Swedish team than in Real Madrid." Mourinho said so, and Karanka suddenly felt that at this moment, Real Madrid's defense line Isn't this Fran the Swedish team's style of play that is ridiculed as 'one person does the whole defense'?
"Why?" Kalanka asked Mourinho incomprehensibly. Mourinho didn't speak, but turned around and glanced at Casillas who was sitting on the bench and watching the game intently.Maybe it's because only in Real Madrid, the goalkeeper behind him is Casillas who really reassures him?
On the eve of the league game against Barcelona, Mourinho only announced the home squad in the team, but did not tell the players the starting lineup.There is no doubt that before the national derby last season, the Portuguese's pre-arranged starting lineup was leaked on the "Marca" website in advance, and Mourinho had to guard against the fact that the tactical arrangement was clearly seen by the opponent.
At that time, the furious Mourinho lost his temper in the locker room. He accused the players of being traitors.So Mourinho has learned to be shrewd. He only announces the big list and resolutely does not disclose the starting lineup.
Forlan thought, maybe the words he said to Casillas on the court will come true. This is really a wasted year, and even he himself can't bring himself to encourage his teammates.After all, when the head coach and the players don't trust each other, what kind of victory is there?
So when the league defeat completely eliminated the chance to compete with Barcelona for the league championship, and the Copa del Rey was eliminated by Barcelona with one draw and one loss, the result was certainly worrying, but Fran, who was in it, did not feel unexpected.Even in the face of Manchester United, the Champions League opponent, Forlan lost the momentum of "let's fight and see" when the team was decadent during Pellegrini's time, but a thought suddenly came to his mind.
In a year like this, one could be eliminated early, one could lose early.Although Fran strangled him to death as soon as the idea flashed by, everyone around him seemed to accept their fate, and even he himself accepted his fate. What else could be changed?
However, the club still seems to hope that the fans will not lose confidence in the team this season. Casillas is injured and is not suitable, so they arranged for Forlan to be interviewed on a Spanish TV station.Even though Fran's inner mentality has been out of balance, when asked by the host, he tried his best to express that the atmosphere in the team is good, and no one has lost confidence. I hope the fans can continue to trust and support.
Perhaps because Fran didn’t say anything substantive, the director said that he would insert the part he had prepared in advance. When the host said that he was connected to the special reporter Sarah Carbonero of the sports channel on the spot, it was clearly visible in the camera record. Fran's expression turned ugly for a moment.
Sara on the other end probably didn't know that the program team was doing something. The vice-captain of Real Madrid was invited to the scene, and after hearing the question, he talked eloquently, "The atmosphere in the dressing room of Real Madrid is quite bad, and you already know from the media. There is no difference. The players are opposed to the coach in many things. President Florentino likes to eat with Igor and Alvarez. "Marca" exposed last week that they held an emergency meeting. News of the meeting, the chairman is now very nervous and angry."
While responding to Sarah's words, the host observed Fran's expression, especially when Sarah mentioned his name.Unexpectedly, he just lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, as if he didn't pay attention to what Sarah said at all.
"Currently Mourinho has a lot of problems to deal with in the Real Madrid team. We just have to see if he can still serve in the team when the season is over, which is June 6." Sarah's tone is Unabashedly confident and proud, Fran doesn't know what she is proud of. Could it be that she can't see Real Madrid's current situation, but is she proud that she can successfully force Mourinho away?
After hanging up Sara's phone, there was a few seconds of silence at the scene. The host felt that the aura of the Real Madrid vice-team opposite was a little scary, and he barely got over it and wanted to speak. Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to speak, "Igor is recuperating recently, He may not have much energy to pay attention to the development of our team, and he doesn't know much about the recent situation. But obviously, what Sarah Carbonero said is nonsense." Fran didn't look directly In order to enhance his persuasiveness, he was as casual as if he was explaining a well-known news, without irritation or irritation, and chuckled when he said 'nonsense', as if wondering if anyone still believed that nonsense What the nonsense woman said, "Now I even have reason to suspect that the so-called emergency meeting news that was exposed last week was fabricated by her, because as the vice captain, I have no knowledge of it."
"I don't want to talk about logic with you. Where does she, a person who is still interviewing abroad, know about Florentino's attitude? Igor is devoting himself to rehabilitation. Where did the emergency meeting come from? If you insist that she What I said is true, then I also want to remind you of one thing," Fran tapped his chest with his fingers, "I was beaten by this woman in Jose's camp from the very beginning. If you think the ball Everything about the team is the responsibility of the head coach, and now I want the head coach to quit get out of class, and I, who was tied up with Jose, can still play in the team after the season, you can also take a look."
After speaking, he touched his chin, "A lot of people wonder why I'm still single, to be honest," Fran shrugged, "If my girlfriend is out there ruining my image and holding me back. Why would I want a girlfriend?"
The author has something to say: Actually, to be honest...I really don't like to write tearful plots...
It can be seen from the fact that I don’t write face-slapping plots [unless it’s slapping the protagonist’s face hhhh
What I like to write is actually the protagonist tossing himself...
Hey, anyway, there is still one chapter left for this season, and I can breathe a sigh of relief.
------
Seriously, would you believe me if I said that I dreamed of Fran making his debut at Barcelona the night before yesterday?
Then imagine it... Maybe he is much happier?
