Although he is no longer the head coach of Real Madrid, Carlo still gets up early.
When he went downstairs to have breakfast, he stopped by the mailbox outside the courtyard and picked up the morning's fresh newspaper.
Like most Real Madrid fans, he also subscribes to the AS newspaper.
When he opened the newspaper and only saw the cover, Carlo was stunned.
"He is ruining Real Madrid!"
The Aspen newspaper's headline is shocking, occupying half of the cover, and it is written in scarlet font, which is particularly impressive, giving it the feeling of a midnight bell.
Carlo couldn't wait to open the second page and read the content in detail. He found that this was what Carlos said in a program on Spanish TV 3 last night. In the program, he blasted the new chairman Martin and the new president.
The head coach is Gao Shen.
Especially targeting Gao Shen.
In the program, Carlos responded to Gao Shen's speech at the previous press conference, saying that in Real Madrid, every player is the best player in the world, and no one is unworthy of Real Madrid's jersey.
"I've been on this team for ten years and everyone here has been great to me, but I'm not spoiled by it."
When the host mentioned that Gao Shen did not name the player, Carlos believed that it was because he could not name a specific name at all, because all the players in the Real Madrid team are trying their best to work for this team.
"I don't know what his purpose was for saying such a thing, but I think it is a very irresponsible behavior. Even if he didn't specifically name the players, his words still make people laugh.
I feel like there is something wrong within the team."
The host asked, is there no problem within Real Madrid?
Carlos shook his head, "There are definitely problems, but they are all minor problems. They can be solved by closing the locker room door. But now, I'm sorry, this matter has become a big deal. The whole world is waiting to see Real Madrid's joke."
Regarding the issue of superstars aging, Carlos also doesn't think it is a problem.
"When Romario was 40 years old, he was still scoring goals on the field, so I think performance is the most convincing on the football field, and youth is not important."
Carlos also specifically pointed out that before Gao Shen coached Real Madrid, his resume was very poor.
"We all know that Real Madrid is the greatest and most successful football club in the 20th century. Even in the new century, it is still the most glorious team. But what I can't understand is why we would choose a team with no resume.
A kid who doesn’t even know how to play football and is younger than most of our players will be coached?”
"Is it just because he can shout a few slogans? Just because he caters to the ideas of some people above?"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand this, but I feel that he is destroying Real Madrid! He is destroying everything we have worked hard to build over the past few years."
Regarding the new head coach, Carlos said that not only himself, but many people in the locker room were very opposed, and even the fans and the media were opposed. "No one would believe that that Chinese kid can lead Real Madrid to win the game."
"Although he has only been in office for two days, he has already said a lot of irresponsible words and made a lot of irresponsible decisions on several different occasions. As an old man who has played for Real Madrid for ten years, I feel that I need to
Stand up and remind him, don't use those harsh words to speak, don't make decisions that you are not responsible for, we are all human beings and we all need to be respected!"
…
Aspen News followed up on Carlos's program and published it on its front page.
Analysts in the comments believe that one of the important reasons why Carlos openly criticized the new head coach on the show is that during the team match yesterday afternoon, Carlos and Ronaldo were excluded from the list by the new coach.
He left the scene angrily, and then Carlos appeared on the Spanish TV 3 program last night and said these words.
Aspen newspaper believes that Real Madrid is currently in a troubled and turbulent time.
As for what the team should do and where it should go next, no one has a specific direction, including the 25-year-old Chinese.
"According to the reporter's understanding, he has talked to many people and is also trying a new set of tactics in the team competition. But how many people will believe that a person who has never played football and only studied in school?
Can a twenty-five-year-old kid lead a group of successful superstars out of the current predicament?"
AS reported that Gao Shen's series of measures, including promoting young players from the second team and expelling Carlos and Ronaldo, are mostly to cater to the voices of the new chairman and some fans.
"In the past period, many Real Madrid fans were dissatisfied with the superstars, especially the Brazilian superstars, so they strongly demanded that the team take down the Brazilian gang, and Gao Shen is catering to the sentiments of these extreme fans."
"This is dangerous because he is the team's head coach and he should be responsible for the team's overall combat effectiveness."
Aspen editor-in-chief Alfredo also expressed in his column that he was disappointed with the current chaos in Real Madrid, especially the appointment of the head coach, which he felt was the most ridiculous decision in Real Madrid's history.
"As far as I know, in the past two days, including the board of directors, many Real Madrid celebrities and fans have called the Real Madrid management. King Juan also expressed concern through people around him. Martin should feel the pressure and realize that
It got to the point where I made a decision that wasn’t so appropriate.”
"The weekend should be a suitable opportunity. With the current chaos in Real Madrid, it will be very difficult to defeat Atletico Madrid, which is in good form, and it will be logical to win the head coach by then."
"But the absurd farce in just a few days will cause damage to Real Madrid that will last longer."
…
Carlo stood in the courtyard and after reading the comments on the second page and editor Alfredo's column, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
Who is Alfredo?
A big shot in the Spanish media field, he didn't say a word in the past few days, but now he has spoken.
Gao Shen took down the Brazilian gang in one fell swoop, and no one can estimate how much damage it will do to Real Madrid's combat effectiveness.
Emotionally, this is very satisfying, but from the perspective of the team's interests, this is irresponsible behavior and must be stopped as soon as possible.
With Alfredo's appearance, more Real Madrid celebrities, board members and members will definitely come forward. Martin is likely to take advantage of the situation and directly win Gao Shen.
Carlo is someone who has personally experienced the entire process of Real Madrid's turmoil. He can see more clearly than anyone how much intrigue and intrigue there is, and he also knows Gao Shen's current situation.
Now Gao Shen has become the public enemy of Madrid.
In this city derby at the weekend, let alone a loss, a draw is unacceptable.
Even at the Bernabeu, all the Real Madrid fans may criticize their head coach. When has such a scene appeared in the history of Real Madrid?
Thinking of this, Carlo immediately took out his mobile phone, found Gao Shen's number and called him directly.
…
Gao Shen had just launched his bicycle and was heading to Valdebebas when his cell phone rang.
When he saw it was Carlo's number, Gao Shen immediately stopped and answered the phone.
"Hello, sir."
"Gao, have you read the newspaper?" Carlo on the phone was very anxious.
"Look, it's nothing. It's expected." Gao Shen said calmly.
This was indeed within his expectation, and he even felt relieved. At least Ronaldo did not come out to bombard him, otherwise the scene would have been even more lively.
"Listen to me, Gao, really, you go to the Bernabeu and resign now. This is really not something you can get involved in. Do you understand?"
"I know, sir." Gao Shen's tone was still very calm, "But I have no choice. This is an opportunity."
Carlo on the other side of the phone was silent.
"I came to Madrid alone, and you have always taken good care of me. I really treat you as a teacher. I know what you want and what you have always wanted to do. Now, I am doing what you want to do.
"
"Don't worry, we will definitely win this weekend's derby!"
Carlo didn't know what he should say, and he didn't know where Gao Shen's confidence came from.
"Sir, I have some things to do in the next two days and I can't go over to visit you. I hope you can come to the Bernabeu to watch the game on the weekend. Believe me, you will see a completely different Real Madrid."
Carlo hummed, neither agreeing nor rejecting.
After hanging up the phone from Carlo, Gao Shen just got on his bicycle when the phone rang again.
This time it was a strange number.
After the call was connected, the voice of Real Madrid's new chairman Martin came immediately.
"What's going on with Carlos and Ronaldo?" Martin said angrily on the phone.
Obviously, Carlos's bombardment annoyed him.
Not only does it annoy the Brazilians, but it also offends Gao Shen.
Gao Shen briefly and concisely talked about what happened on the training ground yesterday.
"Some players think that their status in the club is unshakable and should even be stronger than the chairman. This is unreasonable. In the past, we were too weak when dealing with superstars and completely spoiled them. As a result, now
They all can't tell whether they have made Real Madrid a success or Real Madrid has made them a success."
Gao Shen's words touched Martin's heart because he really thought so. Even Florentino, whom the superstars miss, once said similar words.
But the question is, can Gao Shen control the situation?
"You are right, but after winning the Brazilian side, how will the weekend derby be played?" Martin asked.
Gao Shen replied confidently: "Don't worry, we practiced new tactics yesterday and the response was very good. Even without the Brazilian gang, we will definitely be able to defeat Atletico Madrid. I guarantee you will see a brand-new Real Madrid team at the Bernabeu on the weekend."
Madrid.”
After a pause, Gao Shen said in a deep voice: "To tell you the truth, I have already written a letter of resignation. If I cannot win Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu over the weekend, I will write this letter directly that night without you having to say anything."
Leave the resignation letter in your office."
This is actually a very weightless promise, because even if Gao Shen does not resign and cannot win Atletico Madrid, he will definitely be finished.
But he said it forcefully and forcefully, with a sense of sadness that makes the wind rustle and the water fall cold.
Martin on the other side of the phone actually felt a little emotional at this moment.
