Pellegrini is under great pressure to coach. One of the pressures that puts him is the result issue. Leading Real Madrid must achieve the best results in Spain and even the best results in European clubs. Only in this way can the club and fans be satisfied.

The second is the performance and balance of the superstars in the team.

The whole team is not good enough to play well, but the iconic stars in the team are best able to perform well. In other words, every superstar in Real Madrid will put pressure on Pellegrini, because if they perform poorly, the reason may be to him-

Or it doesn't pay attention to it.

Or there is no environment that provides superstar performance.

The reason for all is that the head coach is not famous enough, but even the top head coach cannot suppress the top stars. This is the case in the professional football circle, because the support and commercial value obtained by top stars are much higher than that of a top coach.

There are several top superstars in Real Madrid now, the most special and most demanding of them are Zhen Shaolong, C-Ronaldo and Kaka.

The three are recognized as the "three biggest stars of Real Madrid".

The other players are much worse than that.

Even Raul, the "Prince of Bernabeu", has not received so much attention because of his age.

Zhen Shaolong is the most important thing among the three. Real Madrid has made high investments in the world's number one, and it definitely needs high returns in the performance of "world's number one".

Zhen Shaolong's performance is a major issue for the entire club.

Regardless of whether Real Madrid can win the game, Zhen Shaolong's performance must not be bad. Even saying that his performance is more important than victory or defeat, because the victory or defeat of the warm-up match is a matter of face, at most it will bring some public opinion pressure to the team. The public opinion pressure caused by Zhen Shaolong's poor performance is too great, and Real Madrid will become a laughing stock of public opinion in the entire European public opinion until Zhen Shaolong's performance improves.

Pellegrini considered this issue before the start of the Peace Cup

The first game made Kaka and C-Ronaldo play together, hoping that they would try their best to adapt.

That was the real warm-up.

Pellegrini is still assured of Kaka and C-Ronaldo. The main problem of the two is cooperation, and it can be seen in the middle of the training. Both of them are players who are good at cooperating. As long as they take a little longer, they will definitely perform better and better.

Zhen Shaolong is different.

He is not the kind of player who is good at cooperating. His personal scoring ability is extremely outstanding, but his teammates need to take the initiative to seek cooperation with him.

Such players need environment.

If there are all familiar teammates on the field, they will actively seek cooperation with him and actively help create opportunities. His performance will definitely not be bad. However, if they do not have familiar teammates, they will be uncertain what performance they will perform.

That's what Pellegrini is worried about.

In addition, psychological pressure is also a problem. I just transferred to Real Madrid and never participated in the game, but I was greatly anticipated by the outside world, and anyone will feel huge psychological pressure.

Zhen Shaolong's psychological pressure will be greater than that of C-Ronaldo and Kaka, because as long as his performance is a little bad, the public opinion in the outside world will become very poor, and the pressure will often affect the players' performance on the court.

Originally, Pellegrini's plan was to let Zhen Shaolong play in the last substitute, and he could find a reason to play for a short time and not perform well. Then he dragged it to other warm-up matches, allowing Zhen Shaolong to slowly increase the number of appearances and slowly adapt to it.

but……

It's definitely not possible now!

So the position and ideas of the head coach and the chairman are completely different. Florentino is considering the overall image of the club. Zhen Shaolong is the core star of the summer transfer and the most important transfer in football history. He has huge support and great expectations among the fan group. He needs to stand up and help the club attract attention and create a world image of Real Madrid's top star lineup.

Of course, the game must be won!

Real Madrid, which has the highest value and superstars among clubs in the world, loses in a Peace Cup, will really become a joke in the world football world.

certainly.

If the reason for losing is definitely the head coach!

The next day is the competition.

The "Peace Cup" was not held for a long time, and the mid-way events were also very intensive, with only one day apart from the second and first games.

Real Madrid's opponent was replaced by Quito Sports University team.

Although the opponent's name contains the word "university", in fact, they are a professional football club and a very excellent professional club. The University of Sport of Quito is the leader in the Ecuador League One and one of the most successful clubs in Ecuador. It has won nine domestic league championships.

Now they are here at the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid.

There is no doubt.

For Ecuadorian clubs, the opportunity to play against the world's top giants is very precious, and the entire team is full of expectations. Many players can't help but talk about the game and talk about their efforts to achieve performance.

The Bernabeu stadium was overcrowded on that day.

The Bernabeu can accommodate more than 80,000 fans, but the stands are basically full. According to statistics on ticket sales, more than 20,000 tickets were sold the day before. The reason is that there are rumors that Zhen Shaolong will appear in the lineup.

This is quite attractive.

Every Real Madrid fan is looking forward to Zhen Shaolong's debut for Bernabeu, and Zhen Shaolong also has a large number of "non-Real Madrid fans". He has already had an influence in the Spanish fan group. The development momentum of the "Zhen Shaolong Girl Fan Support Association" is very hot. Similar fan associations will also organize fans to support Zhen Shaolong.

The actual data on ticket sales is: 72019.

The data sold in the last game was about 50,000, and the gap between the two games reached more than 20,000.

Even if it was sold for 50,000 tickets, it was amazing. After all, the game was just a warm-up match, not a formal confrontation in the La Liga. In a similar warm-up match last year, the largest number of fans was only 40,000.

This shows the attractiveness of superstars.

Florentino was very satisfied with this and released the news that Zhen Shaolong was about to appear, and immediately sold nearly 20,000 more tickets, and the commercial value of the top superstar was reflected.

As the audience was looking forward to watching the pool fans, Real Madrid stars entered the court one after another, and the fans around them also gave violent cheers. Like rumors about the gossip, Zhen Shaolong appeared in the lineup.

"His partner is Higuain!"

"There are currently many Real Madrid's forward superstars, and Higuain has become a little inconspicuous, but in fact, he is still one of the youngest and best scorers. Last season, Higua beat Raul and became the star with the highest goal efficiency in Real Madrid, ranking fifth in the La Liga scorer list."

"Higuain has faced a challenge this season. His biggest competitor is Zhen Shaolong, but maybe they can also become the best partners."

With the introduction of the game commentator, the game on the field officially began.

Compared to the last game, the lineup sent by Real Madrid is more gorgeous. Kaka did not appear in the lineup, but Zhen Shaolong's appearance is the most anticipated. C-Ronaldo also appears in the lineup, and he played as a winger.

In addition, Xavi Alonso's middle line, his partner is Fernando Gago.

The backcourt is Metzeld, Pepe, Salgado and Marcelo. The combination of four people cannot be said to be the absolute main configuration, but the only one is Ramos who did not play.

The goalkeeper is Dudek.

Pellegrini lets Dudek play in order to keep him in good shape. After all, Casillas alone may not be able to withstand the entire season, and the second goalkeeper is still very important.

The game began soon.

After the game officially begins, you can see the strength of Real Madrid. They can easily suppress their opponents as a whole and create threats in front of the goal. However, professional footballers can easily see the problem of Real Madrid-

Cooperate!

Real Madrid's strength is reflected in the strength of the lineup. Each position is the world's top star, but the cooperation between the midfield and frontcourt is a bit poor. C-Ronaldo has been fighting individually on the wings for a long time, and Zhen Shaolong has not been able to get the ball.

This is the cooperation issue.

Zhen Shaolong's situation is bigger than c-Ronaldo.

c-Ronaldo has no tacit understanding with his teammates, but due to positional relationship and ability issues, he still has many passes and receives the ball. He can also take the initiative to find his teammate's position to pass the ball due to his strong breakthrough.

Zhen Shaolong stood at the front of the lineup and followed the defensive players for a long time. He had no tacit understanding with his teammates, so it was difficult for him to receive passes from his teammates.

This is actually normal.

Real Madrid's lineup is very gorgeous, everyone is a top star. They are used to playing and cooperating or exerting their personal abilities, but they will not take the initiative to pass the ball to Zhen Shaolong. Unless Zhen Shaolong runs out of a good position, there is still someone around Zhen Shaolong defending it without a tacit understanding. The pass is very likely to be intercepted, so they will definitely not pass the ball over.

For a period of time, Zhen Shaolong became a transparent person.

Even though he became a transparent person, Zhen Shaolong was still the most attractive person, and the camera lens frequently pointed to the past.

The game commentator couldn't help but worry and said, "We can see that Zhen Shaolong has not performed well so far. He has very few balls, and it can be said that he can't even get the ball..."

"He hasn't adapted yet."

"After joining a new team, it takes a long time to adapt, especially for forward players, who need to cooperate with teammates who have a tacit understanding, otherwise it will be difficult to receive passes."

The fans in the stands were somewhat disappointed.

Many Real Madrid fans hope to see Zhen Shaolong's performance of "killing all sides", but Zhen Shaolong was unable to receive the pass for a long time and did not even perform at all on the court. The only thing that can be relieved is that Real Madrid played well overall.

The most active ones on the field are Guti and Alonso.

Guti and Alonso are both midfielders who are good at cooperating. Guti is on the wing but has a very tacit understanding with his teammates, and he has become very active along the way.

Alonso is in the middle, with more opportunities in the middle than on the side.

Alonso also helped Real Madrid play in the last game, but his performance was not so active. This game was obviously stronger, which shows that his adaptability is indeed good.

Under the leadership of Guti and Alonso, Real Madrid made frequent offensives and found opportunities in the front continuously. Higuain on the front line also became active. He repeatedly looked for opportunities in front of the goal and directly threatened the opponent's goal.

This situation made Guti, Alonso and Higuain feel good.

Alonso is because of his personal performance.

Because Guti and Higuain were too unattracted, Real Madrid introduced too many stars, which led to them becoming "unattracted people". Higuain was the team's scorer king last season and was considered to be a substitute.

How is it now?

When they arrived at the real game, several so-called "superstars" were silent, but instead they became the best performers.

Some players from Real Madrid's original team also thought so. They had no conflicts with Zhen Shaolong, C-Ronaldo and others, but anyone suddenly became unattracted and depressed. Seeing that Zhen Shaolong and C-Ronaldo performed poorly, they were also a little gloating deep in their hearts.

"Look! It's also a top superstar!"

"I'm worth 100 million? I'm worth 200 million? How about it? When I got to the game, I'm just doing this!"
