We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 210: King of Warm-up Match, Silver Battleship
"Lord of the Rings... Raoul!"

"Five to zero! Real Madrid received the best blessings from Anderlecht!"

"Raul scored five goals in three games. He is the undisputed number one star of Real Madrid!"

The camera turned to the handsome Raul, who was breathing heavily, obviously very tired from this counterattack.

Looking at the time, it's a bit too early to be this tired.

But considering that Raul has played 90 minutes in every game recently, such performance is not surprising.

His physical recovery speed is not enough to support him fighting three times in ten days.

If he wants to play every game, I'm afraid he can only play one game a week.

He Tianqi continued to make substitutions.

Sneijder replaces Modric.

Bravo replaced the ineffective Ramos.

Mata replaced Carlos.

The team changed to 3223:

Reyes, Raul, Robinho

Sneijder, Mata

Emerson, Guti

Cannavaro, Elguera, Bravo
Casillas

-

Among Real Madrid's defenders, except Carlos and Marcelo, all of them can play as central defenders, and all of them can play as double central defenders and triple central defenders.

This saves He Tianqi the trouble of training him.

They just need to be familiar with the defensive concepts and some special positioning structures.

So even though Real Madrid's frontcourt coordination is full of flaws, the overall formation changes are actually very smooth.

This is not the same kind of fine-tuning between 433 becoming 4213, 4123, and 442.

This is a leap forward in different defensive systems.

The tactical significance lies in the fact that it is equivalent to completely wasting the opponent's midfield and frontcourt's research on your tactical structure and defensive loopholes.

Of course, the basis for playing this way is that you have sufficient understanding of the situation and the tactics of both sides.

Otherwise, this change might give the opponent many opportunities.

In theory, this formation change strengthened Real Madrid's offensive power.

It also shows He Tianqi's expectations for the score.

In the 67th minute, Guti made a straight pass, Robinho received the ball and made a cross.

However, due to physical problems, Raul failed to arrive in time and was cleared by the opponent.

After the ball was kicked out from the sideline, Mata made a fake move at the top of the arc, trying to create a great opportunity with his personal ability.

But Juan Mata doesn't have any personal abilities.

The opponent directly stole the ball from the 18-year-old player and launched a quick counterattack.

The weaker team hoped to score through counterattack, and they were as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Four against two successfully scored.

Five to one!

Casillas lost his shutout bonus and was so angry that he started cursing.

In the stands, Real Madrid fans were also unhappy with the goal conceded, mainly because of Mata's appearance.

This is the Bernabeu, can we not let any random young players play?

Do superstars understand?

Many Real Madrid fans even shouted the tongue twister "Don't fucking climb the Mata".

In the 74th minute, Sneijder also made a straight pass.

It was a good pass, but unfortunately Raul had run out of energy and the opponent's goalkeeper seized the ball.

In the 88th minute, Robinho passed the ball horizontally after passing past the opponent again on the right.

Sneijder stopped the ball with his right foot at the top of the penalty area, shot with his left foot, and the ball went straight into the net.

"Beautiful! Sneijder's left foot technique is very impressive. You can't tell at all that he is a right-footed player."

"This kind of five-five kick is the top midfield core seedling."

"Modric is slightly inferior to Sneijder in this regard."

"I think Sneijder will take Modric's starting position in the next period of time!"

In the end, the game ended with a score of six to one.

A very commendable achievement.

Real Madrid also happily lifted the Bernabeu Cup, adding another non-counting championship.

But in the post-match interview, He Tianqi said that this Real Madrid team was far from meeting his expectations: "Real Madrid scored six goals against Anderlecht, but Palermo could have scored more goals at that time."

"This shows that there is still a certain gap between Real Madrid and Palermo."

"As a reorganized team, this level is pretty good. After all, the team has a good foundation."

"But if we want to win more championships, we have to do better!"

……

Bild: "We won the Bernabeu Cup! Robinho was named the man of the match with one goal and three assists! He Tianqi has a keen eye for talent. Is Robinho's spring really on the right side?"

Marca: "The champion coach is worthy of his reputation! He Tianqi has led Real Madrid to win two championships in less than two months since joining the team!"

"AS": "Real Madrid won three warm-up matches! Raul and Ronaldo scored in three consecutive games. The 70 million euro man has not revealed his true colors yet!"

Daily Sports: "Can the Carranza Cup and the Bernabéu Cup be called championships? How long has it been since Real Madrid won a championship?"

Mundo Deportivo: "A goal in a warm-up match is also called a goal? Aren't Ronaldo and Raul the kings of warm-up matches? The league will tell!"

The mouthpieces of Real Madrid and Barcelona are fighting each other and pulling each other down.

Sales are much higher than before.

People also call this the "He Tianqi effect."

But The Sun has repeatedly stressed that if they want to take advantage of the popularity, they should learn from us.

Will anyone watch your football report?
Let us show you a show!
The Sun: "Shakira's way of conquering He Tianqi is revealed! During the dinner with Real Madrid executives on the night of the Bernabeu Cup, she drank heavily. He Tianqi was worried about accidents, so he personally escorted the Latin queen to the hotel to rest. He left half an hour later. It is speculated that the two have already made love!"

!!!

For a time, the traffic exploded.

What kind of fake warm-up match champion is that? It’s not as interesting as the scandal.

Children love it, and it can also be used by people with sensitive skin!
It was widely rumored among the people that the Latin Queen was the successful Latin!

The news reached Italy, and Barbara was said to have lost her temper at the board meeting, but in fact no one had done anything wrong.

But Monica is very stable.

Miriam and Eva Green wanted to defend her, but Monica smiled and said, "I only need to look at the time to know that the news is fabricated."

"half an hour?"

"They have no idea what He is capable of!"

Eva Green and Miriam's eyes lit up.

real or fake?

No, no, no, they didn't mean anything else, they just thought it was great that Shakira didn't have anything going on with He Tianqi.

On August 25th, all teams' warm-up matches were over.

Officially recognized Super Cup events in major leagues have also begun.

Palermo also played the European Super Cup on this day.

But unfortunately, they lost 0-3 to La Liga team Sevilla.

Guardiola's first official match as a coach ended in failure.

This result is shocking.

According to the team that He Tianqi left for him, they should be able to win this kind of competition even if they had to tie a dog.

It can only be said that the impact of the coaching change on Palermo has exceeded everyone's imagination.

The players were unable to demonstrate their true strength.

They still need time to adapt to this life without faith.

On August 26th, the Spanish Super Cup kicks off.

Barcelona easily defeated Espanyol 3-0 and won the first real championship of the season.

No matter how many warm-up match championships Real Madrid wins, none of them are as valuable as this one!
Of course, if Real Madrid wins the Spanish Super Cup, then the Spanish Super Cup will have no gold.

There are clear provisions in Catalan law that Real Madrid's victory affects the value of the championship, while Barcelona's victory is to empower the trophy.

But this time the Catalan media did not jump onto Real Madrid's territory or provoke.

They are so law-abiding that people almost don't recognize them.

what on earth is this kind of happenings?
It turned out that their expensive signing, the "world's best defensive midfielder" Motta, was injured and left the field in the 63rd minute of the game.

He completed the pass in a fierce confrontation with the opponent, and then was tragically hit by a scissor kick from the opponent.

The opponent was sent off with a red card.

After the game, Motta was diagnosed with a ruptured cruciate ligament in his right knee!
He needs to undergo surgery immediately and is expected to be out for the entire season!

This news made the whole Barcelona almost crazy!
Forty million euros, that’s it?
Wasn't he an iron man in Palermo?

His attendance rate is even more terrifying than Modric!
And the ability to fight is extremely strong, a body of steel!

Why is it that Barcelona’s old problems have come back again?
Barcelona is not famous for its glass crafts!

In this way, the only weakness of Barcelona's Dream II is exposed again?

This is a fatal blow to Barcelona.

Ronaldinho, Deco, Arteta, Eto'o, Puyol and others are going crazy.

But although Harvey looked miserable on the surface, he was actually somewhat relieved inside.

Motta is the defensive midfielder, and the two midfielders are Deco and Arteta.

Now that Motta is injured, Xavi is the main player.

Similarly, Iniesta felt much more relaxed.

Xavi's appearance sequence is higher than his. If Xavi becomes the main player, Iniesta can serve as a substitute for Deco and Arteta and get a lot of opportunities.

Messi was equally relieved.

Iniesta will mainly play as a substitute in the midfield, so he won't compete with him for the playing time as the right winger.

In this way, Messi can get similar playing time as Giuly on the right, and it will make no difference who is the main player and who is the substitute.

There is no need for any outstanding performance. As time goes by, this young man will naturally take the main position.

Mota was injured, Ha Baimei had tears on her face but a smile on her heart.

On August 27th, the La Liga officially started.

Real Madrid opened their season at the Bernabeu.

Their opponents are the Yellow Submarine, Villarreal.

This team has been at its best before and is now preparing to return to its peak.

On the front line, they have Diego Forlan, who failed at Manchester United and then was reborn in La Liga.

On the wing, there is the new signing Pires who arrived from Arsenal this summer.

The defense is Spanish national team's fire-saving midfielder Marcos Senna and former Italian international midfielder Tacchinardi.

The core of the team is the Argentine leader Riquelme!

It's an uphill battle.

There were many fans in the stands wearing Real Madrid's new season jerseys.

The number 10 is still Robinho's, Modric did not take it away, he finally chose the number 6 jersey.

Of course, the number seven belongs to Raul, so Ronaldo chose the number nine jersey left by Ronaldo.

Since these two players often practiced together and both received the favor of He Tianqi, one was parachuted into the team's core and the other into the team's left winger, they were also called "He Tianqi's two godsons."

People call it the 69 combination!
It's really informative!

Cannavaro took over Zidane's No. 5 jersey.

Emerson arrived early and got the number eight jersey.

Vieira did not fight for the position. He came here to fulfill his dream and never thought about becoming the core of Real Madrid. He accepted the number 16 jersey.

Many people believe that Modric should give the No. 6 jersey, which symbolizes the main defensive midfielder, to Vieira.

Modric spoke with high emotional intelligence, saying that Vieira wore the No. 4 jersey at Arsenal.

Ramos, the owner of the No. 4 jersey, hates Modric to death.

He said he would definitely be willing to give up his number if Vieira called and asked in person.

Fortunately, Vieira didn't say anything.

Vieira: Just give me your fucking number!
In this game, Villarreal scored the first goal, and Diego Forlan used his actions to tell his former Red Devils teammate Cristiano Ronaldo that his ex is not as good as his current one.

But then Modric made a straight pass through Villarreal's defense, and Raul made a solo run after offside to equalize the score for the team.

In the 74th minute of the second half, Modric passed the ball through the middle and created a good opportunity, but Marcos Senna quickly rushed over and knocked him down.

As a result, Modric was injured and retired.

Beckham scored directly from the free kick created by Modric, and the team took the lead.

However, due to the lack of a core midfielder, Sneijder failed to play with the experienced Riquelme, and the initiative on the field was controlled by Villarreal.

Diego Forlan scored with a long-range shot to equalize the game.

Two to two!
Real Madrid failed to win the opening game.

Raul scored in four consecutive games, becoming a fig leaf for Real Madrid.

However, Ronaldo was predicted by a Catalan journalist to become the king of warm-up matches, but this didn't work once he arrived in La Liga.

Fortunately, after the game, the team doctor diagnosed that Modric would only need to miss a week.

Next week is the national team match day, so by the next round of La Liga, Modric will have recovered from his injury.

This made Modric's replacement Sneijder sigh with regret.

You both came from Palermo, so why is it that Motta is injured for a whole year while Modric is only injured for a week?

Reflect on this carefully!
Are you working hard?

Have wages been increased?
Modric: It has increased, a lot, the highest salary in Real Madrid is 6.5 million euros. Hey, do you have 2 million?

Sneijder: CNM!

September 10th, the second round of La Liga.

Real Madrid challenges Levante away, and Modric returns from injury.

Levante and Valencia are in the same city, and there is a bat element in their team logo, so they are also called little bats.

But at the same time, some people call him Little Barcelona.

His team logo and jersey are similar to those of Barcelona, ​​and he is one of Barcelona's good brothers.

There is not much to say about this game. Real Madrid's advantage was obvious, with Modric, Raul and Vieira scoring in succession.

We won easily with a score of 3-0.

Raul scored in five consecutive games, and fans said he looked at least ten years younger!
But at the last moment of the game, former Barcelona central defender and Barcelona's worst signing in 20 years, De Hu, committed a flying tackle, causing Modric to be injured again.

According to the diagnosis after the game, Modric will be out for half a month.

He will miss at least three games of Real Madrid, including European competitions.

After the game, Barcelona sang and danced, finally emerging from the shadow of Motta's injury.

Shouted the slogan "Everyone in Palermo is made of glass".

Fans of Bayern, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Wolfsburg and other teams were so angry that they beat up Barcelona fans in major forums.

Don't talk nonsense, we spent a lot of money!
……

On September 13, Real Madrid ushered in the first round of this season's Champions League group stage.

Their group this time is quite good, as they are in the same group with French Ligue 1 champions Lyon, Ukrainian Super League giants Dynamo Kyiv, and Romanian A-League giants Steaua Bucharest.

Among them, Lyon is Real Madrid's nemesis, and has repeatedly defeated Real Madrid in the group stage and qualified as the first in the group.

And this game is Real Madrid vs. Lyon.

Sneijder appeared in Modric's position and announced that his time had finally come!
He plans to keep Modric firmly on the bench in the three games that he is absent.

When that Eastern European Gargamel comes back, the water dispenser will be his final destination!

However, ninety minutes later, cheers rang out in Lyon's home stadium.

Ronaldinho avenged his elimination at the World Cup by He Tianqi by scoring directly from a free kick.

French international Govou assisted Thiago Mendes to score.

Two to zero!
Lyon destroyed the "Silver He Battleship"!
All major media outlets reported it extensively.

September 17th, the third round of La Liga.

Real Madrid VS Real Sociedad.

Guti got the chance to start.

Former Real Madrid star Savio came back to save the day and completed the scoring.

The Brazilian left winger was squeezed out by Zidane in his club and suppressed by Rivaldo in the national team, he was in a miserable situation.

At the crucial moment, Beckham scored again directly from a free kick, responding to Juninho three days ago.

Help the team equalize the score and avoid losing at home.

Sneijder got a chance to come on as a substitute in the 65th minute, but did not have an outstanding performance.

September 23rd, the fourth round of La Liga.

Real Madrid challenges Real Betis away.

The two sides met once in a warm-up match, and Real Madrid won a big victory over Real Betis.

In that game, many Real Madrid players performed well.

This time, however, variable elimination worked.

He Tianqi rearranged the formation and the team played 442.

C Ronaldo and Raul are the two forwards.

Sneijder and Robinho played as left and right wingers.

In the first half, Robinho made a sharp breakthrough and sent a cross, Ronaldo's header was saved, Raul returned the ball, and Beckham scored with a long shot.

In the second half, the opponent scored two goals in a row.

Real Madrid is on the verge of its first defeat in La Liga.

In the 73rd minute, He Tianqi replaced Raul who was completely unable to run with Negredo.

In the 85th minute, Negredo played the role of a pillar center forward. After receiving the long pass, he passed the ball to Ronaldo on the side. After receiving the ball, Ronaldo made a straight pass, and Carlos, who was on the side, made a cross from the bottom, but it was cleared.

Emerson, who came on as a substitute, scored a world-class goal with a long-range shot.

Helped the team equalize with Real Betis and get one point.

So far, after the official start of the new season, Real Madrid has one win, three draws and one loss, accumulating six points and ranking eighth in La Liga.

This is a very bad result.

People all said that He Tianqi’s magic was no longer there.

"Daily Sports": "He Tianqi is a fraud. What is strong is not his coaching, but the players of Palermo and Italy!"

Mundo Deportivo: "Real Madrid's summer signings are a joke! Modric is paid 70 million euros while lying on a hospital bed and getting a top salary! Ronaldo has not scored a goal in an official match for 40 million euros!"

Bild: "The performance of the Silver Hero battleship is not good. Lacking offensive speculative players like Modric, it is difficult for Real Madrid to convert the ball possession advantage into points!"

Kicker: "Raul was substituted because he was alone, Robinho could not pose a direct threat on the right, it is time for He Tianqi to give up Ronaldo!"

Manchester Evening News: "Valencia's world-class goal helped the Red Devils get another three points! Former Cristiano Ronaldo lost himself in La Liga and frequently cut inside, becoming the king of being intercepted!"

Sky Sports: "There are many mistakes in the midfield and frontcourt coordination, too many changes in the summer, and the reconstruction of Real Madrid will not be overnight!"

All of a sudden, all the monsters and demons jumped out.

Someone seriously pointed out the problems to Real Madrid.

Some people ridiculed it.

In comparison, Barcelona, ​​with three wins and one draw and ten points, ranks fourth in La Liga and has the same points as the two teams in front of it, which is a much better result.

Although they are also lacking the newly introduced core midfielder, Barcelona's mature and stable player structure puts them far ahead!
Calderon was under a lot of pressure, so he took the initiative to find He Tianqi, hoping that he could find a solution as soon as possible.

"If we play defensive counterattack, I am sure that we can get the team back to the top three within a month and top the La Liga standings before the winter transfer window." He Tianqi said confidently, "But is this something you and Real Madrid fans can accept?"

Calderon was silent.

Real Madrid fans won't accept it.

Not only do they have to sing whenever they want, but the key is to sing beautifully.

Even if you win the championship by playing defense and counterattack, everyone will impeach you.

"How long will this situation last?" Calderon also knew that after the team's major changes, it would take some time to get used to each other.

A good sword is forged through repeated grinding. Many teams even need two or three years to achieve success.

It took Palermo two years to win the UEFA Cup.

Real Madrid players have strong individual abilities and high levels, but even at the fastest rate it will take a year, right?

After Barcelona introduced Ronaldinho, it took almost two years to integrate its fighting strength and become a champion.

But Calderon couldn't wait two years.

He Tianqi couldn't wait any longer.

"It's almost done. It will basically be done in a month." He Tianqi looked at the progress bars of various tactical cards on the panel, and they had all reached about 80%.

As long as the team practices these tactics to the fullest, the overall coordination will be almost smooth.

The team will make fewer mistakes.

They can tear open the opponent's defense purely by passing and controlling the ball, creating many offensive opportunities.

Now the whole team relies on Robinho alone, which is really a bit tiring.

There are too many old players in the main team. Although they are strong, their playing habits and thinking have been solidified and are difficult to change. If they are changed, they are likely to feel very uncomfortable.

And now is that discomfort period.

So He Tianqi said that there would definitely be no problem playing defense and counterattack, because defense and counterattack can allow a team to perform at 80 points in the shortest time.

He Tianqi's method is the most time-consuming.

Without the team card as a foundation, he would not have come to Real Madrid to wade into muddy water during this period.

Three years earlier or three years later is a better choice.

As for Ronaldo... he is still doing extra training such as strength training, shooting training, heading training, and inside cutting diversity training.

Especially the first one.

When your body is well-trained, you can become a main attacker.

Of course, Modric's absence is also quite painful.

In the complete He Tianqi system, there will be no major problems in the team's operation even without Modric.

Modric is responsible for acceleration and passing the knife.

But when the team's tactics are not formed, he is needed as the core of the midfield to organize the connection and take charge of both offense and defense.

Without him, the team's various cracks were exposed to the opponent.

Guti has always been weak in this area.

Sneijder may be capable enough, but he is also a new player and has a lot of flaws of his own. How can he help the team find and fill the gaps?
Calderon finally expressed his trust in He Tianqi and said he would help him withstand the pressure.

After all, the league is a long-distance race. Winning first does not count as winning. The real skill is to laugh last.

But he also made demands for the Champions League.

In the Champions League, Real Madrid must not allow any mistakes.

If they fail to qualify from the group stage, both he and He Tianqi will be finished!
He Tianqi said he knew.

After returning, He Tianqi convened Simeone and other members of the coaching staff to hold a tactical meeting.

Simeone focuses on analyzing this season's Champions League opponents.

He talked a lot, but He Tianqi didn't listen to anything.

After directly asking about the height, age, weight, speed and other data of the opponent's right back, right center back and defensive midfielder, he fell into deep thought.

Simeone was very knowledgeable and brought up the game footage of these players.

He Tianqi nodded the more he looked at it.

Ten years of sharpening a sword, Frost Blade has never tried.

Logically speaking, it is not time for Ronaldo to be released from quarantine yet.

But if the opponent's characteristics can help Ronaldo play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, then...

I'll show it to you in advance, who has any grievances?
……

"AS": "The first team's performance is not good, He Tianqi urgently transferred players from the second team. Is Real Madrid about to set off a youth storm?"

"Marca": "He Tianqi is likely to start the Palermo mode at Real Madrid, but this will almost invalidate all the signings for this season!"

"Daily Sports": "Real Madrid's youth training has been promoted one after another. He Tianqi may give up this season and bring the championship will become empty talk!"

Mundo Deportivo: "He Tianqi is a joke! The gorgeous lineup can't produce results, so he wants to let the young players of the youth training team take the blame?"

Real Madrid has always been a team under the magnifying glass, and any small changes within the team are likely to cause heated discussions from the outside world.

For example, this time, He Tianqi transferred several players from the second team.

Including defensive midfielder Xavi Garcia.

Right back Miguel Torres.

Midfielders De La Red, Borja Valero and many more.

Plus the previous midfielder Mata, forwards Negredo and Soldado.

These players have been called up to the first team in the past two or three years, but have not been able to stay.

Before the start of the new season, these players got the opportunity to train with the first team and completed training matches, competitions, etc. together.

This also strengthened the players' determination to stay and give up the opportunity to be loaned out, because they saw the possibility of getting opportunities in Real Madrid from He Tianqi's coaching philosophy.

And now, these seem to have come true.

They made the right bet.

"Modric, Ronaldo, Negredo, you stay for more practice." He Tianqi called the three of them over. Next to him stood De La Red and other players who were transferred from the second team.

Today's extra training mainly focuses on Ronaldo's cut-in.

The players defending him included Miguel Torres, Javi Garcia, De La Red and others, with Garcia playing as a central defender.

It mainly simulates single-point blasting, interference by midfield defenders while cutting inside, attacks by central defenders, and so on.

Ronaldo's inside training currently mainly focuses on non-confrontation.

Because Ramos, knowing that Ronaldo is cutting inside, can defend Ronaldo tightly.

It’s not that Ramos is that strong, but his aggressive defense is very effective against Ronaldo.

Of course Ronaldo can find a way to get rid of Ramos, but the benefits are too small.

He needs to continue to improve technically.

But to put it bluntly, this kind of improvement may only take Messi three to five days, but it will take Ronaldo two to three months.

In contrast, as long as the strength training is completed, Ronaldo will eat Ramos like eating his son. There is no need for micro-management, techniques, psychological games, and feints.

But now, since the opponent is suitable and Ronaldo can perform, he might as well hone his skills in advance.

These youngsters in the second team are players with average physical fitness, average defensive ability and average speed, which is similar to the right-wing players of the next Champions League opponent Dynamo Kyiv.

Garcia: That’s really dirty!

Torres: Kill Ronaldo!
C Ronaldo: I didn’t say that!

In this way, Ronaldo's extra training began.

Negredo and Modric were responsible for passing the ball to him and helping him to pull the ball, a simple three-person cooperation.

During the training, He Tianqi also looked at the data of this group of second-team players.

Garcia, Torres and Mata are all professional level.

Valero, like Negredo and Soldado, is at the second-tier league level.

But De La Red is quite strong, having reached the level of the top five leagues, and it seems that he is not much weaker than Sneijder.

This is a genius-level player, 1.86 meters tall, and his technical style is quite consistent with the future popular all-around midfielder.

If a serious heart disease had not caused him to retire early at the age of 25, he might have become one of the iconic figures in Real Madrid's midfield.

He Tianqi then included De La Red in the team lineup.

When there is a requirement for height and strength in the midfield, it is better to use him than Sneijder.

Sneijder fainted in the toilet.

……

September 26th, the second round of the Champions League group stage.

The Bernabeu was packed with people, so it was no problem to fill the stadium.

But the fans were not in high spirits, and some even held up banners questioning and mocking He Tianqi.

Raul, who was substituted early in the last game, was not included in the starting lineup today.

It is said that Real Madrid's new team of doctors found that he had some muscle fatigue and needed rest.

This team was recommended by He Tianqi after he joined Real Madrid. They had previously provided some data services to Real Madrid, and this can be considered an in-depth cooperation.

The famous Milan laboratory is one of the team's collaborative projects.

So it is difficult to define whether Raul's muscle fatigue is real fatigue or whether He Tianqi thinks he should be tired.

In addition, Modric, who was previously injured, returned from injury.

As the team's second captain, he wore Real Madrid's captain's armband in this game.

This sparked strong backlash from fans.

They thought that Modric should not play. One reason was that he would be in poor condition after returning from injury, and the other was that Sneijder, who had solid skills, could not carry the midfield, so Modric, who was just as capable, would be just as bad if he came on.

So when Modric, as captain, and the opposing captain determined who would kick off first and the direction of the half, there was a loud booing at the Bernabeu.

Modric didn't care about it, he was already used to the boos.

But Ronaldo on the side frowned in dissatisfaction.

He could never get used to the catcalling.

beep!

With a whistle, the game officially begins!
