Chapter 21 Here Comes Florentino!

Overlooking Madrid under the dark night sky, the Bernabéu Stadium is the most shining area on match days.

Thousands of fans poured into Madrid from all directions, gathering in the direction of the Bernabeu.

The streets extending in all directions were blocked early on, exclusively for football fans to pass through.

They walked in groups in the streets of Madrid, like a series of thick and thin blood vessels, and finally converged to the big heart of the Bernabéu Stadium.

At this moment, the lights inside and outside the stadium were brightly lit, as bright as day.

Although there is still half an hour before the game, there are already long lines of fans waiting for tickets to enter.

No one wants to miss this annual city derby feast.

Although Real Madrid's mortal enemy is Barcelona, ​​and although Atletico Madrid is not as good as Real Madrid today, the same-city derby will always have a special meaning.

...

The new chairman, Martin, just called Gao Shen.

On the phone, Martin told him that tonight's derby must be won no matter what.

But privately, he and his staff are fully prepared.

"Judging from the current public opinion surveys, the odds of major gaming companies, and the predictions of professionals, our situation is not optimistic, even..." The personal assistant was a little bit speechless, but Martin understood what he meant.

No one will be optimistic about Real Madrid tonight.

This is actually not surprising.

It was nothing more than a coaching change, but it turned out to be a 25-year-old rookie. More importantly, this rookie boldly challenged the team's core combat power, the Brazil Gang, and even directly sent the top scorer and several humerus generals. All taken.

There has even been a rumor circulating outside that the Real Madrid dressing room has collapsed.

Carlos' bombardment is the best proof, and Raul's response is more interpreted as making up.

The captain of Real Madrid has always been like this, always looking for gaps and filling gaps.

Atletico Madrid's morale is like a rainbow, and Real Madrid's side is almost collapsed. In the eyes of many people, this is no longer a question of losing or winning, but whether Real Madrid can lose better?

"Then get ready and start the public relations plan at any time." Martin made a decisive decision.

"As soon as the game is over tonight, as long as the team does not win, we will immediately announce a coaching change."

"Did Bosque and Hierro talk about it?" the assistant asked happily.

Martin shook his head and sighed, "They still have concerns." In the end, Bosque and Hierro were both worried about Real Madrid's current situation and were waiting to see Florentino's next move.

Friends are friends, but Martin must be firmly seated as the chairman of Real Madrid before they are willing to stand up.

If Martin was just Florentino's puppet, they wouldn't show up at all.

"Then change the coach..." The assistant wanted to ask, who to change?

"Anyone would be better than him, wouldn't it?" Martin retorted.

He didn't even know that when he was in Valdebebas, why did his mind cramp, and he directly selected this Chinese, which one is not more suitable than him?

Maqueda used to be a player of the club, the head coach of the second team Portugal was also capable, and even the sports director Frollo, they were all capable, but why did they choose a high-level player in a twitch?

Every time Martin thought of this, he wanted to slap himself.

It's still too rough!

At this moment, the phone in Martin's office rang suddenly.

As soon as he picked it up, when he heard the report from the front desk on the phone, the microphone in Martin's hand almost dropped in shock.

Here comes Florentino!

...

Florentino is really here!

This is beyond everyone's expectations.

Not only did he come, but he also had a huge lineup.

The first vice chairman of the board of directors, Tapias, and the former Real Madrid legend and former technical director Valdano accompanied him, followed by his personal assistant Manuel Redondo, and the honorary chairman of Real Madrid Di Stefano, vice chairman and public relations Department director Butragueno personally led the team to meet outside the stadium.

The whole scene was very lively.

The media also seemed to be prepared, and when they saw Florentino, they all rushed forward.

The most powerful footballer in Spain has been on vacation in Miami, USA since he abdicated. Unexpectedly, he suddenly ended his vacation early and returned to Madrid, and appeared at the Bernabéu Stadium. This has to be said to be a big news.

The media are very concerned about why Florentino suddenly returned to Real Madrid at this sensitive moment?

Florentino smiled and said: "Although I am no longer the chairman of Real Madrid, don't forget that I am still one of the most experienced members of Real Madrid. I have a VIP box at the Bernabéu Stadium. I am still the most loyal Real Madrid fan. "

He ended his vacation early because he had to deal with some matters in the company himself, and he came to the Bernabeu because he, like all Real Madrid fans, wanted to watch the derby live.

For the team's victory tonight, Florentino said he is full of confidence.

"This is not the first time we have met Atletico Madrid. I just watched it. In the past three years, we have never lost to Atletico Madrid. We have had four to zero, three to zero, and two to zero. It's our own home court again, I think we will lose if we ignore it." In

case of losing...hehe, you understand.

The media naturally asked about Gao Shen and the Brazilian Gang, and Florentino also smiled and said that he had heard of it.

"Martin has been my partner for many years. I know him well. He is a very thoughtful person. I can be recognized by him. I believe that this young man who is nearly 25 years old must have his own uniqueness. We should give more space and allow young people to try and make mistakes."

As for the Brazilian team, Florentino believes that every head coach has his own preference for formation, which should be respected.

"For our Real Madrid, the most important thing is to be able to win the game and play football that satisfies the fans. As for how to use the players, we should give the head coach more freedom. This is a kind of respect."

The media reporters on the scene said: It was very surprising.

Does that sound like something Florentino would say?

At the beginning, he often interfered with the head coach's formation for the superstar's appearance.

Well now, he said to respect the freedom of the head coach?

There is definitely something wrong with this!

…

Entering the Bernabéu and heading to the VIP box, Florentino took the time to visit King Juan and members of the royal family.

They are all die-hard Real Madrid fans. As long as there is a game at the Bernabeu, they will find time to watch the game.

During the meeting, King Juan expressed his worries about the game and about Martin taking charge of Real Madrid, especially the reuse of the twenty-five-year-old Chinese as the head coach of Real Madrid, which can be said to be absurd. Never before in the history of Real Madrid.

Florentino still said with a smile on his face that he believed that Martin could handle the current team's predicament well.

I went to visit several old friends one after another, and they all expressed their concerns about Real Madrid, explicitly or implicitly, and some even directly suggested that Florentino should return to Real Madrid.

But Florentino laughed it off.

…

After Martin received the news, he rushed to Florentino's box immediately.

He didn't dare to be careless about his old friend, he knew better than anyone else what Florentino was planning.

It's just that he didn't expect that Florentino suddenly returned to the Bernabeu and caught him off guard.

Along the way, he also kept hearing about Florentino's movements, as well as what King Juan, political and business celebrities in Madrid had to say.

In this circle, there will be no secrets at all. Once it is said over there, it will spread around here immediately.

Martin's face became more and more serious, but before he came to Florentino's box, he still took a deep breath and tried to put on a welcoming smile.

But as soon as he opened the door, his expression couldn't stop sinking.

Tapias, Valdano, Butragueno and others are all within his expectation. These people are all close friends with Florentino, although Tapias chose Martin because of Florentino. He complained about taking over, but he also scolded Martin, not Florentino.

It was the others in the box who really irritated Martin.

Ronaldo and Carlos, the two big Brazilian gangsters were not included in the big list. As soon as they heard that Florentino was coming, they ran over immediately, but this is also normal, and Ramos is Florentino It is also understandable for the imported local rookie to come to the box.

The question is, why are the Carlos there?

This is the head coach who was fired by Martin himself. Florentino invited them to the Bernabeu to watch the game at this time. What does it mean?

"Haha, Martin, my friend, it's surprising, isn't it?" Florentino greeted him with a smile.

Martin tilted his head, and smiled slightly, "It's a surprise, Florentino, didn't you go on vacation?"

"I'm still worried after all, I must come back and have a look."

Florentino had a smiling expression on his face, as if he was chatting about homework. He noticed that Martin's eyes fell on Carlo, and he immediately laughed again, "When I came in just now, I happened to see Carlo Line up to enter the field, you know, he is a person who has made great contributions to the team, so I invited him here."

Carlo was a little depressed, but he dared not even say it.

"Don't be humble, Juan, I've heard it all. Our new head coach goes to your house to learn lessons every day. You must have contributed a lot in tonight's game, right?" Florentino laughed. road.

After Gao Shen took office, he visited Carlo's house almost every day, which has been exposed by the media.

Some media even believe that today's Real Madrid is superficially acting as an agent, but in fact it is still Carlo.

Carlo was caught in the middle of two big men, a little embarrassed, but the matter was profound, so he shook his head resolutely.

"Actually, these are all rumors from the outside world. Since I left office until now, I haven't even met Gao Shen in person, so how can I help him make suggestions?"

Carlo's words surprised everyone present, including Floren. Tino and Martin.

When Florentino invited Carlo, he made it clear that he wanted to disgust Martin, and even said this on purpose to tell Martin that everything Gao Shen did was due to Carlo.

Doesn't Martin know?

No, he had such a guess before, even in the extremely small probability that he believes that Gao Shen can lead the team to beat Atletico Madrid, Carlo is an important consideration.

But it's different now, Carlo has never seen Gao Shen, so in the past few days, Gao Shen's drastic reforms in Real Madrid, the suppression of the Brazilian gang, and the earth-shaking reforms to the team's tactics were all his ideas alone?

This young man is too crazy, right?

It's over! It's really over!

I was blinded by the depth!

Martin was ready to cry to death.

Ronaldo, Ramos and others were also shocked, because the locker room always thought that Gao Shen was going to Carlo to learn from him, but it turned out not to be so, which is too surprising.

It is unimaginable that a 25-year-old rookie has done so many things in Real Madrid.

More importantly, without Carlo's support, without the Brazilian team, what will Gao Shen do to beat Atletico Madrid tonight?

Looking at Martin, who was heartbroken, Florentino secretly laughed, but also felt a little sympathetic.

This friend of mine is just too rambunctious.

People, once the waves are too rough, accidents are easy to happen.
