Chapter 958 Angry and Painful

Chapter 958 Angry and Painful
The half-time atmosphere of Manchester City was very relaxed. Everyone could see that Real Madrid had no fighting spirit.

For Real Madrid, this battle of life and death seems to have no meaning of a battle of life and death at all...

Not even Betts kept his players on their toes with a straight face at halftime.

Even if this game is lost in the end, Manchester City has nine points, as long as they win one of the remaining two games, they can qualify.

It's just the group stage, there's no need to push the players so hard.

Meanwhile, in the Real Madrid dressing room, the atmosphere was subdued.

Although only one goal behind, but in the eyes of many Real Madrid players, their failure is inevitable.

You must know that when they went to Manchester, many people still had expectations for the future, thinking that they could beat Manchester City away and rekindle the hope of qualifying for the group.

But what about the results?

After the game started, they realized that the situation was much worse than they thought.

Throughout the first half, they didn't get any decent chances.

Such a situation makes them desperate.

Everyone was silent.

As captain of the team, Raul tried to stand up and say something encouraging to the players.

In any case, such a depressing atmosphere is not suitable for the halftime break, and it is not conducive to the players' second half of the game.

But just as he lifted his butt off the stool, he suddenly heard Pellegrini's voice.

"Well, I am honored that Real Madrid's most shameful record in the history of the Champions League will be born in my hands."

When everyone heard Pellegrini say this suddenly, they all looked up at him in surprise—has the head coach lost his mind?How can you say such a thing?

Pellegrini saw everyone looking up at him, so he curled his lips and smiled: "Ha! That's great. I've been your head coach for so long, and it's not easy for all of you to finally look at me. When I was about to leave get out of class, I finally enjoyed the treatment of Real Madrid's head coach."

What he said was a naked satire of his players.

But it doesn't matter, Pellegrini has no intention of continuing to work in Real Madrid, so now he is not afraid of offending all Real Madrid players.

He held these words in his heart and wanted to say them all the time, but because he was the head coach of Real Madrid, he didn't dare to say them, and he couldn't say them.

But now...go to ****!

"You think that you are the top players in the world. You think that coming to Real Madrid is the pinnacle of your career. You disdain to accept anyone's criticism and advice. You are very self-confident and arrogant. You think that you can beat any team without me, the head coach, nagging in your ears. You can do it with a little effort and a little sweat. But the reality has given you a slap in the face! You are at your own home ground, and even teams like Bordeaux and Manchester City can't win! You can still do it! Who will win? None of you can win!"

Everyone looked at Pellegrini in surprise, wondering what happened to the Chilean.

But Pellegrini ignored the complex gazes of these players, and he continued on his own: "After this game, I will submit a resignation application to the club's board of directors. I used to think that coming to coach Real Madrid was the peak of my coaching career, but now I find that I was wrong! It was the biggest mistake in my career that I agreed to coach you! You don't need a coach like me at all, you are a bunch of arrogant ghosts!"

"Why did you lose to Manchester City? You may have never thought about this question. From the perspective of paper strength, you should be stronger than Manchester City, and you should beat Manchester City. But in reality? Football is not a comparison of the combined strength of all players. A football game depends on the actual performance on the pitch! Your actual performance is a pile of ****!"

Pellegrini, a usually gentle engineer, also turned into a hair dryer and roared loudly at the Real Madrid players.

"Do you still want to participate in the Champions League final at the Bernabeu? Dream it! Do you still want to win the tenth Champions League trophy? With your performance, don't even think about it!"

After speaking, Pellegrini turned and walked out of the locker room, and then slammed the door of the locker room behind him.

A group of players in the locker room were left behind, all looking at each other in blank dismay.

Raul looked at everyone, then at the door of the locker room that was slammed shut, sighed, and lowered his head.

He felt that it was useless to say anything else.

This game is over...

Real Madrid is really going to add a shameful record to the history of participating in the Champions League-the group has not qualified!
※※※

After the start of the second half of the game, Pellegrini always sat on the coach's bench, crossed his arms, crossed his legs, and looked at the players on the court with cold eyes.

With his appearance, he didn't seem to worry about the team at all.

A decision has been made in his heart.

He is not joking, after the game is over, he will resign to Florentino in front of the reporters.

The reason why he had to be in front of the reporter was to not leave any room for himself.

He wants everyone to see his determination.

I don't care about coaching Real Madrid's team!

The Real Madrid players on the field were suddenly scolded penniless by their head coach during the intermission. They were all in a daze and hadn't recovered yet.

Although many of them did not regard Pellegrini as their head coach at all, they were still shocked after being scolded by Pellegrini...

So on the court, it is conceivable what Real Madrid players can do.

Mistakes were frequent, many mistakes even amateur mistakes.

Such a performance appeared on Real Madrid players, which made the commentators very strange.

"...Ramos' pass...was light! Ron's run was very fast and he got the ball ahead of time! Pepe...foul! He can only foul! If he doesn't foul, Ron will break into the penalty area! Pepe got a yellow card for this...but look at Ramos, the pass error he just had was so amateurish! He seemed to be absent-minded!"

Because of this foul, Manchester City won a direct free kick 24 meters away from the Real Madrid fans, and the position was very positive.

Free kicks are a big threat here.

If it was a normal game, Pepe shouldn't have chosen to foul here.But at that time, he had no other choice. If he did not foul, Rong Guang would directly break into the penalty area and face goalkeeper Casillas alone. That would be even more dangerous.

After all, no one can take free kicks with white hair, and there are still people blocking them. A player who kicks ten free kicks and can score half of them is considered a top master.

And if it's a one-handed goal, it's too easy for the striker.

The lesser of two evils, Pepe fouled decisively.

Rong Guang took the football to the penalty spot.

Ned stood beside him, ready to cover him.

The Manchester City fans in the stands booed Pepe just now because of the foul. They thought that the referee gave Pepe a yellow card and was really merciful. In the situation just now, it is not too much for him to go off the field with a red card.

But now seeing Rong Guang take the free kick, the boos immediately turned into cheers.

Everyone knows Rongguang's free kick ability.

Maybe they can cheer for the goal again?
※※※

The human wall on Real Madrid's side was quite serious, with as many as six people in front of Rong Guang.

Casillas is also waiting in front of the goal. He has also studied Rongguang free kicks. Pellegrini once showed them the video of Rongguang free kicks.

However, some rules can be drawn.

Rongguang's free kicks are mainly "leaf kicks", a bit like the free kicks played by Casilla's teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

So Casillas is no stranger to the characteristics of this free kick.

If Rongguang still hits the goal with such a free kick, Casillas is sure to win the football.

He lowered his center of gravity, his eyes fixed on the football.

The distance was so close that he had to make split-second decisions or the football could go in.

But when the referee blew the whistle and Rong Guang made a run-up, Casillas realized something was wrong-he wanted to kick the ball with his left foot!

When I saw Rongguang's free kick collection before, it was very clear that Rongguang kicked the fallen leaves with his right foot!

But now from the perspective of Rongguang's run-up, this is not a deciduous ball kick!

Just when Casillas was surprised, Rong Guang ran to the football!
He leaned slightly to the right and hit the football on the inside instep of his left foot!
The football soared into the air, drew a beautiful arc in the air, went around the other side of the wall, and went straight to the left of the goal!
It is completely opposite to the right side where Casillas is standing!

Casillas sprinted that way, then soared into the air, trying to save the ball.

But his movements are still slow in front of football.

The football spun into the goal before he got it!
2: 0!

Manchester City leads Real Madrid by two goals at home!

Sure enough, the overall situation has been decided!

After seeing the ball fly into the goal off the field, Pellegrini also closed his eyes in pain.

Although he scolded his team at halftime, he still felt very painful when he saw this scene actually coming.

I think back then, when he came to Real Madrid, he was so full of ambition and full of hope for the future.He thought that he could open up a new world in Real Madrid and become the hottest coach in world football, and he would become the pride of the people in his hometown.

Today, he agonizes over the shattering of his dreams.
