"After returning to Madrid and attending the championship celebration, I will officially submit a resignation letter."
At around noon on the day after the Champions League final, in the garden downstairs of the hotel where Real Madrid stayed, Yang Yang and coach Benitez met here. The Spaniard and Yang Yang revealed their intentions and revealed their whereabouts.
Yang Yang was a little surprised, and asked, "Why?"
He knows that Benitez has always been in the media hype and fans' attention after class. Although Real Madrid's management has repeatedly stated that it will support Benitez, the attitude of Florentino at the highest level has always been ambiguous.
Especially after the league ended, the outside world has always been rumored that Real Madrid is intensively contacting Ancelotti. The latter has just been fired by Chelsea, but his coaching ability does not need to doubt. In that year, he led a Milan and Liverpool twice. In the Champions League final, Yang Yang is also very clear about his strength.
But this is not the reason for Benitez's voluntary resignation.
In the past, the reason for his coaching crisis was because the team ’s performance was not ideal, but it is different now. The legendary defending Champions League, a King ’s Cup champion, and the historical La Liga runner-up, Benitez ’s coaching position is completely Can be guaranteed.
If he really wants to stay in Real Madrid, then he just needs to stand up and publicly say that he wants to stay on the team, then Florentino has to consider the reaction of the team and the fans.
This is the legendary coach that helped Real Madrid successfully defend the Champions League. Benitez will be included in the history of Real Madrid. How can Florentino dare to fry him? What if the successor is unfavorable?
For Bosque ’s lesson, Real Madrid ’s management cannot be careless.
But if Benitez voluntarily resigned, then the situation is completely different.
Yang Yang didn't quite understand that as a **** fan of Real Madrid, the coaching performance is so excellent, why should Benitez take the initiative to resign?
The Spaniard looked at Yang Yang deeply for a while. He saw the confusion and sincerity in Yang Yang ’s eyes. He knew that Yang Yang had been cooperating with him for the past few years and could almost be said to support him unconditionally. For the world's top superstars, it is such a rare thing.
It is an honor for him to coach Yang Yang, and it is also a kind of luck.
"You know, when I dreamed of playing football, I wanted to play for Real Madrid. When I was a coach, I always regarded Bernabeu as my lifelong pursuit and dream, so when Real Madrid asked me actively, would I want to come to Bernabeu to coach? , I almost agreed without thinking, because I have no reason to refuse. "
"In the past two years, I have been under a lot of pressure. There is the strongest player lineup in the world. This is the dream of any head coach, but at the same time, the coaching pressure is also the biggest, because it must be worthy of this. A lineup of results, even in the Bernabeu, did not win a heavyweight championship in a season, it is considered a failure. "
"Frankly, before the Champions League final, I always had a worry, that is, if I lose the final, will I be fired? I don't want to encounter such a thing, do you know? In my mind, coach Bernabeu It ’s a sacred thing, but if I ’m fired, it ’s like putting a black spot in my sacred faith. ”
Benitez spoke very rarely, very long.
In Yang Yang's memory, Benitez has never said so much in one breath.
He could feel that Benitez probably did not say these words and would not say to the second person, including Yesterdam.
But he actually understood Benitez's idea.
"The head coach is different from the players, Young." Benitez eased his breath and continued, "especially in a team like Real Madrid, the players are stronger and more superstars, if the game is not played well That ’s all the incompetence of the head coach, and you have to know that in a team like Real Madrid, changing coaches is always more practical than changing players. "
This last sentence made Yang Yang hear some unwillingness in Benitez's mind.
Over the years, many media and fans have been arguing about whether Yang Yang made Benitez or Benitez made Yang Yang?
Some people say that Yang Yang met Benitez as his luck, because under Benitez's strength, he has made great strides, and he has also been reused by heart. However, some people say that Benitez met Yang Yang because of him. Luck, because Yang Yang gave him endless goals, which is too important for Benitez, who is weak in training offense.
Both sides have their own arguments and their own reasons.
As if many people like to argue, is Ibrahimovic important? Or is Yang Yang important?
Yang Yang understands in his heart that one million points. Football is a team sport. Whether it is a player on the court, a coach on the court, or a staff member of the club, they are all one-piece and mutually successful.
If you insist on who is more important and who is better, it is a very boring debate.
But Benitez is right. In a team like Real Madrid, the value of the players is too high. If the head coach does not use the good players, then use a good one. The cost of replacing the head coach is much lower. For changing players, especially superstar players.
Therefore, if the Champions League does not win the championship, the team must find someone to be responsible, it must be Benitez.
This is a very realistic and cruel thing, but it is something that no one can do.
After all, in the world of professional football, a coach like Ferguson is unique and unique.
This is not as strong as Mourinho. In the third year of coaching Inter Milan, it also fell into a trough. At present, there are rumors about being fired, even the Portuguese madman, let alone others.
Perhaps after seeing Yang Yang open his mouth and stop talking, Benitez sighed softly.
"I know where my problem is, and I know that even if I continue to stay in Real Madrid and continue to lead this team, it will be difficult for me to help it take it to another level, which is not my philosophy and pursuit. "
Yang Yang nodded after hearing it.
Benitez ’s technical and tactical style is balance, offensive and defensive balance, and overall cooperative combat. This is his coaching style. If he is forced to play offensive football, it is indeed difficult for the strongman, and it must also violate his own will.
In the last few rounds of the league, Real Madrid's offensive was raging, but it was against the weak. If you really want Benitez to take a single midfielder, let's say his coaching style without talking about his own wishes. Not necessarily suitable.
From Valencia to Liverpool to Real Madrid, Benitez's tactics have always been double midfielders.
Everyone knows his strengths and weaknesses. Benitez is a smart man. Although he is addicted to skills and tactics, how can he be a fool? Where can he not see what Real Madrid executives are thinking about now?
Rather than waiting to be fired and fired in the future, it is better for him to take advantage of the current momentum of the team. When he is also bullish, he quickly retreats and leaves Real Madrid. This is not only to preserve his dignity, but also for his next Looking for the next team to win more favorable chips.
Of course, according to Yang Yang's understanding of Benitez, it should be mostly dignified.
There is no airtight wall in this world. The news that Florentino and Ancelotti met privately, Yang Yang received it. As for whether Benitez received it, Yang Yang did not know, but it should be a bit clueless. .
"Then I won't say anything. Good luck, Raphael!" Yang Yang said forcefully.
Benitez smiled lightly, nodded, and patted Yang Yang's shoulder vigorously. He said nothing and turned away.
For Yang Yang, he was always at ease, because Yang Yang never needed him to worry about, and he was able to properly execute the tasks he explained, and even completed them in excess.
Benitez wants to tell Yang Yang that it is an honor for him to coach players like Yang Yang in this life.
But in this case, he couldn't say it, nor his style.
He also wanted to say something encouraging to Yang Yang. He hoped that he would continue to encourage and not slack off, but if he had to say it, he found that it was superfluous, because Yang Yang did n’t need anyone to remind and encourage him. They are the most conscious and hardworking, so he swallowed it back.
Yang Yang stood in the same place and watched Benitez turn away. His heart was also mixed.
It has been five years, from the time he left Ajax to Liverpool to Real Madrid. For the past five years, he has been playing under Benitez. If there is no emotion, how is it possible?
Even to a certain extent, Yang Yang has a kind of feeling that Benitez thinks of teachers about students, because from Benitez, Yang Yang really learned a lot of things.
But some things are like this, the world is full of banquets, Benitez can retreat in such a way, in this way, as a player, Yang Yang should be happy for him.
It was like when Raul left Real Madrid and went to Schalke 04, he told Yang Yang that he did not need to be sad for him, but should be happy for him, because he left Real Madrid in a decent and dignified manner. This team he loves will come back in another way in the future.
This is true of Raul and Guti, and Yang Yang believes that Benitez will do the same.
Maybe one day in the future, Real Madrid is in trouble and Benitez will return.
Such a precedent is extraordinary in world football, and it is normal.
As for who will coach Real Madrid in the future, Yang Yang is not worried and will not worry, because he is confident that no matter who will coach this team, he must form a team around him, if not The first to stand up against Florentino.
Real Madrid ’s chairman will never allow anyone to weaken or attack Yang Yang ’s position in the team ’s locker room and the role on the court, because Real Madrid earns a huge amount of income from Yang Yang every year, even far exceeding other team players Sum.
How can Real Madrid move Yang Yang in this situation?
On the contrary, no matter who will coach Real Madrid, will only further strengthen and enhance Yang Yang's position and role in the team.
All Yang Yang needs to do is to play well.
