Chapter 438 Millwall in the hearts of the media and fans
Last summer, Calderon strongly advocated Capello to enter Real Madrid, hoping that this meritorious coach would bring good results to Real Madrid, and it also won a lot of praise from the media and fans at that time.
Capello himself is also quite interested in coaching Real Madrid.
This is the second time I have coached.
Capello coached Real Madrid for the first time just ten years ago. Capello helped Real Madrid improve its defense and defeated Barcelona and last season's double champion Atletico Madrid to win the La Liga title, laying the foundation for Real Madrid's success in the Champions League next season.
At the same time, Capello also created the 4321 Christmas tree formation style for Real Madrid, as well as the 4231 double midfielder style. The two styles of play have continued to the new century and are still in use until now.
Capello was very popular with Real Madrid fans at that time, but he only coached for one season.
The outside world has said many reasons for Capello leaving. Some say that Capello has conflicts with the chairman, and some say that Capello is dissatisfied with the club's chaotic system. After all, it was too long after ten years, but Capello himself is very clear that the internal reasons mentioned by the media are not the real reason. The real reason is his personal wish. In other words, he wants to leave Real Madrid because he cannot refuse the call of AC Milan chairman Berlusconi.
Ten years later, Capello came to Spain again and coached the Real Madrid club, and the situation was completely different.
Real Madrid is in a critical period of transformation, with their chairman and development policies being changed.
In addition, the superstars a few years ago are old.
It is very meaningful to choose to coach Real Madrid during this period.
Just like ten years ago, Capello also looked forward to his coaching and looking forward to leaving some mark on Real Madrid.
This Real Madrid team is very strong.
Compared with the declining Juventus, Real Madrid is still in its heyday. Although stars such as Beckham, Ronaldo, Raul are old, there are also many new stars in the team, and they are all the top players in the world.
Capello is also confident of achieving good results when coaching Real Madrid like this.
So far, Capello has done it.
Real Madrid has changed its previous two seasons and has been in the sluggish league performance. Since the beginning of the season, it has been the most powerful contender for the La Liga championship. It has encountered some obstacles in the Champions League, but the second in the group is still enough to guarantee it.
It’s a pity that Real Madrid’s good results do not seem to be accepted by fans.
Real Madrid fans nowadays have higher requirements for the team than they were ten years ago. They not only need winning football, but also good-looking football. How can the two be so easy?
Perhaps for a long time, Capello was confident that he could do it after completing the control and transformation of Real Madrid, but it was definitely not this season, and that was impossible. In his tactical philosophy, defense must be paid attention to. Now Real Madrid cannot achieve good results in various competitions without paying attention to defense.
In fact, the main problem lies in overall familiarity and cooperation.
Real Madrid has never been a stable team. With the aging of stars such as Ronaldo and Beckham, and the changing lineups every season, most players in the team have been playing for a short time, so there is no need to talk about tacit understanding.
In addition, many of the team who can play frequently have joined the team in the past two years. The main lineup has changed a lot, and there is naturally a lack of tacit understanding between the players.
Real Madrid can be described as "patching together". Even if each position is a big star, football is a sport of eleven people, and the overall is more important than single.
So for the time being, Real Madrid still need to pay attention to defense.
The tactical style that Capello formulated for Real Madrid is very practical and his results can prove everything, but the fans, no matter what the reason is, they only see defensive football.
So far, many fans have called for Capello to be dismissed.
Capello knew this, but he didn't care. He liked Real Madrid very much, and there was also a remembrance element when coaching. He didn't need too many people to recognize him, he just needed to use his grades to make them respect him.
Modern football, the results are the king!
Capello hopes to remind Real Madrid fans to know the importance of good results and to gain support from fans with real championships.
That's what Capello thought.
So Capello set a high goal to lead the team: he knew that for clubs like Real Madrid, it is difficult to impress fans with league championships. If you want to gain recognition from fans, you must get better results.
League champion, have.
La Liga Super Cup champions must also be there.
And most importantly, he needs to lead the team to achieve good results in the UEFA Champions League, and for Real Madrid, "good results" naturally means the Champions League championship!
Capello set a high goal, but it is not easy to lead Real Madrid and win the Champions League.
Fortunately, Real Madrid got a good draw.
Millwall?
Capello knew that the team was still last season. He heard that the Premier League had changed its new champion. The team's name was Mirwall, and their head coach was still very young.
That's all.
When he heard Mirwall's name again, he was in the Champions League quarterfinals draw. Capello felt that the team was lucky and drew a dark horse team with no experience in European competition.
Mirwall is a big dark horse. He won the first place in the group stage. What else can be achieved next seems to be decided by Real Madrid. Capello is not too worried. He believes that Real Madrid's defense can deal with everything. After all, the dark horse is just a dark horse, not a wealthy family with background. When it comes to the Champions League knockout stage, it is hard to say what performance it can be.
Capello is very interested in Mirvoor's coach.
Not yet twenty-four years old?
Capello recalled that when he was at this age, he was still playing for the Rome club and was worried about how to transfer and leave. The professional players at that time did not have the freedom they are now. If they want to transfer and leave, they must get the club's nod.
The other party no longer has to worry.
Although he looks down on young people, Capello still wants to admit that the other party has had a perfect start in his position as head coach. Leading Millwall to win the Premier League championship is enough to be recognized by the whole world.
But Millwall is still too young...
What will the other party do when facing Real Madrid? Capello is a little looking forward to it.
What he waited for was... a war of words.
"Branif? Will he become the key player in the game?" After putting down the phone with Calderon, Capello thought hard for a long time, but he didn't understand what the other party said.
Capello knew about Braniff.
Millwall is much worse.
In addition, many media and fans do not think that Millwall can pass the Real Madrid level.
But it depends on the results.
Barcelona's match against Manchester United is indeed the focus, but if Mirwall wins Real Madrid, the focus will naturally change. It's not that the influence created by "unpopularity". Mirwall can also be considered unpopular because Mirwall himself is the top of the Premier League, and many people admit their strength, but they are just not optimistic.
This is the contradictory mentality between the media and the fans.
