A few days later, the sixth round of the Champions League group stage came. The opponent was Malmo, who had already been eliminated. Real Madrid, which had four wins and one draw in five games, had already qualified with Paris Saint-Germain, so this was an uninteresting game. But Beni
Tes still fielded the entire main lineup. In addition to Wang Ai who actively requested substitutes, Benzema, Yinske, Cristiano Ronaldo, James Rodriguez...
Naturally, there will be no suspense in the outcome of such a game. Not only did Malmo use a bunch of substitutes, but they also didn’t do any pressing. Real Madrid’s first goal was when Cristiano Ronaldo went down to assist Benzema, and
When Cristiano Ronaldo was going down, the Malmo defender was actually defending two meters away from him. This was outrageous.
On the bench, Wang Ai tried his best to keep his expression calm, because he knew that there were cameras peeping at him at all times, but he was already extremely disapproving of it. Benitez would only waste the energy of his players in such a meaningless game to save himself.
It makes the club's evaluation of him even lower. Because his behavior is nothing but a child's trick for the club's top management, except for ordinary fans.
In this game, Cristiano Ronaldo scored four goals and Benzema scored a hat trick, which was a great honor to Benitez. Wang Ai took this opportunity to casually say to Cristiano Ronaldo when they walked out of the locker room after the game: "Come to my house for dinner when you have time."
.”
Ronaldo nodded casually: "Okay, I will take Georgina with me."
The consequences of Benitez's arrangement of wasting the physical strength of the main force in order to save himself were shown in the league a few days later. Facing the yellow submarine Real Madrid, which was both good at offense and defense, it was difficult to adapt. Shortly after the opening, the opponent forced a hard press and lost one goal.
He became very impatient after the ball, went offside, and forced hits everywhere.
If Wang Ai hadn't stood up calmly at the critical moment and scored a goal in each half, the club's evaluation of Benitez would have been even lower. They didn't know that Wang Ai took the initiative to ask for a substitute in the last game, thinking that
It was a back-up left by Benitez for himself.
"Asian" published the next day commented: You can always trust the Chinese offensive power.
"It's a coincidence. Cheryshev was loaned to Villarreal last season before that incident happened." Wang Ai, who was reading the newspaper while eating lunch, shook his head: "There are still two days to go with Canada.
In the second game of the Copa del Rey in Spain, it’s time for the Spanish Football Federation’s decision to come out, right?”
"I see that Real Madrid have no strength left in their struggle. They probably admit it, right?"
"Public anger is hard to come by. This thing is clearly wrong and there is really no way to recover it. Except for the Real Madrid press officer who said some nonsense a few days ago, you see no one has responded, right?"
"Has the team made a tactical plan for the next game?"
"No, I haven't seen it anyway. Generally speaking, unless it's confirmed that there won't be a double match in the middle of the week, Monday won't be a day off, but now you see? I have a day off today."

On the afternoon of the next day, the Spanish Football Association held a press conference to announce the punishment for Real Madrid's illegal employment in the previous Copa del Rey game: the results of the previous game were retained, the next game was not played, and Real Madrid was directly sentenced to a 0:3 loss.
This means that Real Madrid has finally been squeezed out of the Copa del Rey campaign in the new season. This is of course very unwilling for Real Madrid, which has introduced Wang Ai and included two super giants. The players are also very unwilling. After all,
In the Copa del Rey, you will get an extra round of money if you play one more round, and team bonuses will be given to those who score goals. In total, La Liga teams can only play the Copa del Rey, the league and the Champions League, but this time they have been cut by one-third.
And if we lose in a normal game, no one has anything to say. At most, we can just complain a few words. But this time it was an unreasonable disaster. It was the coach who failed to do the job he was supposed to do, which ultimately affected everyone’s income. So after the verdict came out, Wang Ai
I can very clearly feel the restlessness within the team: those who love honor will blame Benitez for bringing discredit on Real Madrid, not to mention those who love money.
Although Benitez has made many people-friendly actions in the past week, it is too late. The cold attitude that has lasted for several months since he came to Real Madrid in the summer has alienated the distance between him and the players. After a week or two,
His kindness and kindness can't change everyone's habitual understanding at all.
Benitez's jokes began to spread blatantly in the locker room. Big-name stars no longer fully cooperated in training, and even some small stars were no longer afraid. The unspoken rule of "not opposing the head coach" became ambiguous and difficult to understand.
Benitez turned a blind eye to this and even regained his modest attitude of recent weeks.
Wang Ai didn't know whether Benitez couldn't take care of it, or whether he felt that being friendly was useless, or whether he planned to retain the dignity of a head coach before leaving. Anyway, no matter what happened between him and the club, Wang Ai stayed out of the matter and paid no attention to the locker room.
Wang Ai never participated in the discussions about Benitez on the training ground. Anyway, he was close to being transparent in the locker room.
Unexpectedly getting a whole week of rest time, Wang Ai was a little surprised. On Wednesday, he arrived at the training center at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. After the team doctor checked, he patted Wang Ai on the shoulder and told him to do whatever he needed to do.
Stronger than a donkey!
The training this week has not been normal recently. People often arrive late and leave early at the time specified by Benitez, or they don't come at all. Wang Ai doesn't know if today's training will be carried out on time, so after swimming in the indoor swimming pool for more than half an hour
Put on some clothes and sneak over to the youth team.
Unlike the adult team, which only trains for two hours a day, the youth team has much more training time. On the one hand, the intensity of their competition is incomparable to that of the adult team, and on the other hand, the young players still have a lot to learn and improve.
The mind is strong, and there are no business matters or family matters, so the training ground for the adult team is empty, while there are always people coming and going over the youth team.
"Hi, Wang!" A young player waved enthusiastically at Wang Ai: "Will you also play with us today?"
"It depends on whether your coach agrees." Wang Ai spread his hands with a smile: "He won't pay me an appearance fee, and he still dislikes me."
"That's because you are too capable. When you play, everyone will inevitably focus on you, but you are not one of our players. The training matches focus on you, but what about the official matches?" Real Madrid Castilla head coach
He appeared next to Wang Ai with a smile: "This is why we need to distinguish the first team and the second team. It is more conducive for people with similar abilities to play together to give full play to the overall advantage."
"That means Castile doesn't need me anymore?" Wang Ai smiled at him and stretched out his hand.
Wearing a pair of light sneakers, a pair of jeans, and a casual suit, Zidane, with a bright forehead, also extended his hand: "If you are willing to give a technical demonstration or give lessons to my forwards, I still need it."
