Chapter 705 New Head Coach (Part 2!)

Florentino spoke: "This summer is not suitable for inviting Mourinho."

Florentino didn't say the reason, and the others didn't ask. From their point of view, since Florentino said the timing was inappropriate, then that's it.In Real Madrid, Florentino has the highest power.Moreover, since Florentino said that the timing is not suitable, it means that it is indeed extremely difficult.

"In any case, the team must establish a new head coach in these two days. With the head coach, the team can start training and prepare for the game. Next season, we want to break the monopoly of Barcelona. Preparation is very important." Zida Said inside.

When it comes to Barcelona, ​​several people are lost in thought. In the past season, Barcelona won the Triple Crown and suppressed Real Madrid very badly.Although, at that time, the chairman of Real Madrid was Calderon, and now Florentino has been elected as the new chairman, but this requires Real Madrid to have good results in the new season and suppress the momentum of Barcelona. Fans won't be satisfied, and that's a priority for Florentino's new Galacticos.

***********
Next, Sanchez, Valdano.And Zidane analyzed the other two head coach candidates, and several people had great differences.

Zidane backed compatriot Arsene Wenger.

Sanchez is a supporter of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Valdano believes that Pellegrini is the most suitable for Real Madrid.

The three hold their own opinions, but both Zidane and Sanchez have to admit that Pellegrini has two advantages compared to Wenger or Ancelotti. The first is that Villarreal The second is that Pellegrini himself is closer to Real Madrid. After learning that he is a candidate for the new head coach of Real Madrid, the Villarreal head coach confronted him in public. Real Madrid winked.

***********
Watching his subordinates arguing, Florentino didn't make a sound. He just lowered his head and studied the documents placed in front of his case. They belonged to Wenger, Ancelotti and Pellegrini respectively. , As for the information belonging to Mourinho, Florentino has already put it at the bottom.

In terms of personal choice, Florentino is most inclined to win Wenger. He thinks that Wenger is the most suitable one for Real Madrid. In Florentino's heart, Wenger is more important than Mourinho. Suitable.Arsenal's gorgeous style of play is very popular with Spanish fans, and it is also considered Real Madrid's football.

However, it is too difficult to recruit Wenger. Arsenal is also a wealthy team. Wenger is also a very assertive person. He has stated many times that he will never leave Arsenal. In addition, there is a situation That is, Wenger has a lot of rights in Arsenal. He has the right to transfer. In addition, Wenger also has the right to speak in terms of team management and market development. This is something that Florentino cannot give to Wenger. Yes, therefore, Wenger has politely declined Florentino's invitation.

What about Ancelotti?The Italian is a coach. He has won the Serie A title and the UEFA Champions League title. He is also Kaka's mentor. Another point is that Ancelotti is very obedient. From the fact that Berlusconi has repeatedly intervened in the team, Ancelotti It can be seen that they all swallowed their breath.However, Ancelotti has never coached an unexpected team in Serie A. This is his weakness, and Florentino is also considering this.

***********
Valdano began to continue to promote Villarreal's Chilean coach Pellegrini. In Valdano's view, Pellegrini has the following important qualities: he has experience and is familiar with the Spanish league. Pellegrini has coached a La Liga team.And this is very important for Real Madrid. In the transfer market, the team has many players in and out. The players are unfamiliar with La Liga. This requires the head coach to be very familiar with La Liga. Whether it is Wenger or Ancelotti doesn't have it.In addition, Valdano believes that Pellegrini's preference for offensive, vertical and explosive football is exactly what the Bernabéu needs.

Zidane shook his head and said: "Pellegrini is not qualified enough to control the locker room." Players, not to mention Li Rui, who has the title of "Mr. 2000 million pounds", and Brazilian star Kaka, who is worth 6500 million euros, Raul, the boss of the Bernabéu's dressing room, may not necessarily buy Pepperdine. Legrini's account.

Valdano disagreed with Zidane, saying, "I think Manuel Pellegrini is perfectly capable of controlling a dressing room with stars, and he won against Riquelme two years ago. .”

Zidane retorted, can Riquelme compete with Li Rui and Kaka?Also, can Riquelme's status and prestige in Villarreal be compared with Raul?

Valdano naturally disagreed with Zidane's point of view, and the two had another debate.

***********
In addition, Real Madrid marketing director Sanchez also pointed out that Pellegrini has not won the UEFA Champions League and has insufficient experience in the European arena.

Valdano said that under the guidance of Pellegrini, Villarreal was only one step away from the final of the Champions League in 06, and in the season that just ended, Villarreal also entered the final. In the quarter-finals, he believes that Villarreal failed to go further, not because of Pellegrini, but because of Villarreal's overall strength. If Neil coaches Real Madrid, the UEFA Champions League champion will be very confident.

***********
Several people discussed for a long time, but no one was able to convince anyone. In the end, they all looked at Florentino. After all, Florentino still had to speak in the end.

Florentino has been listening to the discussion of several people, thinking at the same time, and finally put his hand on Pellegrini's information: "Get in touch with Pellegrini Well, I want to hear his views and ideas for the new season of Real Madrid."

Valdano laughed. He knew that Florentino had chosen his suggestion, which made Valdano very happy.

Zidane smiled bitterly, and marketing director Sanchez also smiled bitterly. To be honest, both of them are not optimistic about Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini. Yes, but a dead spot is enough to make Pellegrini suspicious. He has never coached any giants, let alone coached a giants like Real Madrid as soon as he came up.

***********
The problem of the house has been solved, and it is possible to find a suitable house so quickly, thanks to Zidane's help. Zidane helped Li Rui find a satisfactory house through his friends.

Of course, according to Jessica’s wishes, the house is for living now, and she still needs to redecorate it when she has time. Jessica is willing to make a fuss, so Li Rui will let her go. He is now thinking about his future prospects in Real Madrid .

Li Rui played very well in the Manchester United team and has always been very smooth. He is the core of the team and the second captain of the team. Everything is very good. If the Glazer family is determined to sell Li Rui, it will chill Li Rui. Li Rui really intends to continue playing at Manchester United until he can no longer play and retires.

Now, for Li Rui, it was a gamble for him to leave Manchester United, where he was at ease, and come to a completely unfamiliar place.

There are many players who thrived in their old clubs and played very well, but they immediately disappeared when they changed places.There are many such things in football circles.

Of course, when Li Rui thinks about this, it's not that he doesn't have confidence in himself. He's just a little stressed. Anyone with a net worth of 2000 million pounds will feel pressured.

In addition, until now, Real Madrid has no head coach, which makes Li Rui a little helpless and anxious. The team has no head coach, and the players always feel weird because they know who the head coach is. Understand the nature and preferred style of play of this head coach, so that you can confirm your position and prospects in the team. Although, no matter who is the head coach, Li Rui's main position is fixed, but different head coaches The tactics are different, so Li Rui naturally has to consider this.After all, winning still depends on the entire team.

***********
On July 7, Real Madrid officially announced that it had reached an agreement with Manuel Pellegrini, and the Chilean would be the head coach of the team.Subsequently, the club officially held a press conference, and Pellegrini's appearance at the Bernabeu announced the start of the new era of the Galaxy Fleet.

Although the two sides did not disclose the specific content of the contract, "Aspen" still learned the inside story by virtue of its good relationship with the Real Madrid club. The former Villarreal coach got a two-year contract, and Since there is still one year left in the contract with his old club, Florentino will pay him 400 million euros in liquidated damages.Since the meritorious coach Bosque was fired by Florentino in 2003, Pellegrini is already the eighth coach of the Bernabeu.

Li Rui knew the head coach's name one step ahead of the media. Before the official announcement, Zidane called him and told him that the team's head coach had been confirmed and it was Pellegrini.Li Rui believes that some other players, such as Raul or Casillas or Kaka, must have also received calls from the club.

So it was him? !Li Rui remembered the appearance of the Chilean head coach. Manchester United had met Villarreal twice in the Champions League. Li Rui still remembered these two games, especially in the 2005-2006 season. In the away game against Villarreal in the team's Champions League group stage match, it was Li Rui's first match in the Champions League, and he scored a hat-trick.

For Pellegrini, Li Rui's perception comes from his feelings about Villarreal. Villarreal's performance in the match against Manchester United won Li Rui's respect. A team with excellent tactical quality and good team cooperation. The team is playing well. I think the head coach is quite capable.

***********
The next day, Li Rui learned about the head coach in detail from "Aspen".

Pellegrini's previous experience in charge of the team is a subject of mystery.According to many authoritative media, Pellegrini studied architecture and was a civil engineer before the age of 35.However, other information shows that since 1973, Pellegrini spent his 14-year player career in the University of Chile team, playing 451 times, and the number of goals is unverifiable. In 1986, in the final year of his career, the central defender put on the shirt of the Chilean national team for the only time in his life.

In 1988, Pellegrini officially started his coaching career in Chile, Ecuador and other countries. In 2002, he was in charge of Argentina's famous River Plate team. In 2004, he entered Villarreal. The following year, he led this mid-range La Liga team to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup.Afterwards, the Yellow Submarine achieved an impressive third place in La Liga and participated in the Champions League for the first time.Subsequently, the Chilean led his team to the semi-finals of the Champions League, setting the team's best record in the European war.In the season that just ended, Villarreal also finished fifth in the league and qualified for next year's Europa League.

What attracted Li Rui's attention was the evaluation of Pellegrini by "Aspen", "Pellegrini is an iron-fisted coach. At the peak of Villarreal, Riquelme openly challenged him Then he was permanently banned and finally left the team. Now that the Chilean has come to the Bernabeu, maybe our superstars should be careful."

Li Rui thought about it, and he didn't think about it too much. In Li Rui's career, whether it was the head coach of Frankfurt who played for a short time, or the head coach of Leeds United, or Manchester United. The head coach, Ferguson, has never had any conflicts with Li Rui. He even said that the relationship between Li Rui and several head coaches is quite good.

Therefore, Li Rui thought, "I should be able to get along well with this Chilean coach."

***********
The first thing Pellegrini communicated with his players after he took office was to ask the club staff to send an email to each player, informing them that the team will start training in Dublin, Ireland on July 7. .No one is required to be late or ask for leave.

There was no phone conversation or face-to-face meeting, but Pellegrini used an email to make the first contact with Li Rui.

The first contact between Li Rui and his Real Madrid teammates will also start from Dublin.

***********
PS: The transfer matter has come to an end, and the pace will be accelerated later, the climax is coming.Frozen shoulder hurts badly, and I have to stick to the code words, and I dare not rest for a day.This is the 2nd update, and there is 1 more.
