Facts have proven that one should never underestimate the size and complexity of the human species.
As the saying goes, if the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and if the population is big, there are naturally all kinds of people.
There are still people who are not afraid of death and feel good about themselves.
Although Benitez said with relief at the press conference to bid farewell to Real Madrid: "I can finally say goodbye to the partner who has been the closest to me for these two and a half years - 'pressure'."
There are still people who are eager to become the head coach of Real Madrid.
Boas is just such a person.
With many years of successful coaching experience in mid-table teams in the Premier League, he finally became the new head coach of Real Madrid.
However, Florentino didn't trust him very much and only gave him a temporary contract for half a year.
As for whether to renew the contract and become a formal contract with the team, it all depends on his performance in leading the team.
If Real Madrid can regenerate and upgrade under Villas-Boas, then it may not be difficult to give Villas a new contract, even a five-year contract.
Now this half of the season is a probation period for Villas-Boas.
For this trial contract, Villas-Boas even took the initiative to resign and left the Premier League team Manchester City where he had coached for three seasons.
It fully reflects Real Madrid's social status in European football.
Otherwise, why would someone say that "a player's opportunity to join Real Madrid only comes once in a lifetime"?
Otherwise, how could anyone say, "Few players can say no to the call from Real Madrid"?
These are the best explanations for Real Madrid's influence and appeal.
Villas-Boas quit a job he was doing well and then accepted this somewhat harsh temporary contract, which seemed very groveling.
But he himself didn't feel that way.
On his first day as the head coach of Real Madrid, he said proudly at a press conference: "I know what my task is. It is a difficult task, but I have confidence. Because I have had such an experience.
."
What Villas-Boas was talking about was beating the ever-winner Lazio.
He didn't lie, but he had such a manager. When he coached the Premier League team Manchester City, in the 2019-2020 season two seasons ago, his Manchester City defeated Lazio 2:1 at home in the group stage.
Because it happened just two seasons ago and has not yet expired, Villas-Boas seemed very confident and complacent.
He believes that since he can lead the team to defeat Lazio in a team like Manchester City, why can't he do it when Real Madrid comes to a stronger team?
What about the away game?
I, Boas, have such confidence!
After speaking, he raised the white jersey of Real Madrid and showed it with a smile in front of many reporters for the reporters to take pictures.
※※※
The next day, Spain's two major media outlets, "Marca" and "AS", published Boas's photo in a prominent position.
"Marca" reported a photo of Villas-Boas holding up a Real Madrid jersey and smiling.
The "AS" newspaper showed a photo of Boas answering reporters' questions.
The two photos are not the same, but they have obvious similarities - Boas in both photos looks ambitious and confident.
"Marca" commented: "Now that Real Madrid is about to be beaten into a lost dog, Villas-Boas's confidence may be just what Real Madrid needs. To rebuild the team's confidence and recall the dignity of the giants, this is
The first step in Real Madrid's re-emergence, we look forward to Villas-Boas bringing us a brand new Real Madrid!"
As a world-class giant like Real Madrid, a coaching change is naturally a big deal.
Not only the Spanish media, but also the Italian media also reported on this matter.
But Chang Sheng doesn't care who his opponent is.
Anyway, no matter who the opponent is, as long as they meet Real Madrid, they must win.
So this kind of thing is meaningless.
Compared with the question of who is the head coach of Real Madrid, the league match with Naples is obviously more important.
The league match against Napoli is related to whether Lazio will continue to decline, or it will be an important game that can stop the downward trend.
The top three in the league are now very close in points.
In the fourteenth round of the league, Juventus will face Udinese at home. The "Black Chicken" should not be able to pose any threat to the "Old Lady", so it is reasonable for Juventus to win this game.
If Lazio cannot win, even if it is a draw, although it can maintain its second position in the league, it will be further and further behind Juventus.
So Lazio must win this game too.

Since being promoted from Serie B to Serie A in the 2007-2008 season, Napoli has never returned to the previous Serie B.
They have successfully established a foothold in the First Division, and their results are not bad.
They have a good club president, Italian film star Aurelio De Laurentiis. He is willing to invest, but he also has a plan and does not blindly burn money. This ensures Naples' financial health and long-term sustainability.
, unlike some club presidents who spend money like crazy in the first few years after acquiring a team, and after seeing little return, they decisively sell the club, or immediately transform into Grandet, who is so stingy that he hopes he can even save the player wages...
…
After De Laurentiis acquired Naples, he had a long-term plan, and he has been strictly following this plan over the years.
Therefore, although Naples does not yet have the strength to win the championship, it is already a force that cannot be underestimated in Serie A.
Naples also has an outstanding head coach, Fabio Cannavaro. This player made his debut in Naples and later grew into the world's top central defender at Parma and Juventus. After retiring, he chose to be a coach.
, trained himself in many teams, and finally returned to his hometown team.
He has been working for his hometown team for four years, and he also has a very long-term plan for this team, just like his own boss.
He is very familiar with today's Naples.
Napoli's results this season are so good, which has a lot to do with this.
In addition, in addition to having an excellent club president and an excellent head coach, Napoli also has excellent players.
There is another very important reason why Napoli can compete with teams like Lazio and Juventus in the league standings this season, and that is that they have an outstanding player in the team.
Chinese center Chen Yingxiong, who just transferred from Zenit St. Petersburg this season!
If Ji Ming, who is only 20 years old, is the core of Chinese football in the next ten years, then Chen Yingxiong is the number one center of Chinese football in the next ten years.
This nineteen-year-old young man volunteered to become a member of the youth team of Zenit St. Peter when he was sixteen. After playing in the youth team for a year, he was transferred to the first team because of his outstanding performance in the youth team.
, quickly established himself in the first team and became the main center forward of Zenit St. Petersburg.
When he was eighteen years old, he won the Golden Boot Award of the Russian League and became the youngest Golden Boot Award winner in the history of the Russian Super League.
He also performed well in the UEFA Cup and was recognized throughout Europe.
This is why he came into Naples' sight.
This summer, Napoli spent 20 million euros to bring him to Italy from Zenit St. Petersburg.
Ten years ago, this net worth would have been the highest in China. However, now, given inflation and other factors, this amount is not that exaggerated.
But despite this, this still reflects the value of Chen Yingxiong. You must know that he is only nineteen years old, one year younger than Ji Ming, who is recognized as China's number one genius!
Chen Yingxiong, who is 1.91 meters tall, has a strong body and is very good at headers and long-range shots. He was able to win the top scorer in the Russian League because of these two weapons.
After joining Naples this summer, Chen Yingxiong's performance was a bit sluggish at first, but he quickly adjusted.
Starting to regain his form at Zenit St. Petersburg.
Now, in the fourteenth league round, he has scored ten goals, temporarily ranking second in the scorer list.
For a Chinese player, such a height is unprecedented - even when Wu Lei was at his peak, he only scored 13 league goals in the entire season, and he was already praised by the media.
Today, Chen Yingxiong has only scored ten goals in fourteen league rounds. The league is not over yet, and he still has the opportunity to continue scoring goals. So how many goals can he score by the end of the season?
This is really exciting.
The emergence of Chen Yingxiong has made people quite optimistic about the future of Chinese football.
With talented players such as Wu Lei, Ji Ming, and Chen Yingxiong, the Chinese team has a brilliant future.
Chen Yingxiong is obviously an anomaly among the countless Chinese players studying abroad today.
Because he was not a beneficiary of the "Star Project", otherwise he would not have recommended himself to Zenit St. Petersburg.
The story of Chen Yingxiong is too long to tell, and it is obviously not suitable to be told here. After all, he is not the protagonist here...
A boy who was once generally not optimistic about his career future has made a comeback in a foreign country. Chen Yingxiong’s story is a legend in itself.
It is precisely because of his ten league goals that he helped Naples stay in the top three of the league.
It even reached the top two at one point.
Chen Yingxiong is now a hot new star in European football.
Many media have asserted that Napoli is unlikely to keep Chen Yingxiong. Maybe after this season, they should seriously consider putting a price on this "Northern Bear" - the nickname Chen Yingxiong received when he played for Zenit St. Petersburg.
Labeled.
When the time comes, countless wealthy families will rush to seduce him waving their checkbooks. A Chinese boy who was supposed to be unknown has become a star.
This giant bear is Chang Sheng’s next opponent. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
