Real Madrid held an internal dinner.

Most people had smiles on their faces, and they congratulated Zhen Shaolong on his position as deputy captain from the bottom of their hearts.

Florentino showed up during the dinner. He came with a reporter from "Marca" and had a few conversations with Zhen Shaolong, asking Zhen Shaolong to talk about his thoughts as the deputy captain.

Zhen Shaolong felt helpless.

He generally does not accept interviews from media reporters, especially in private occasions, when "Privacy" is not activated, he does not want to accept any interviews, but the Chairman's face cannot be ignored. He said a few simple words-

"I'm...well, the first thing I thought about is not to let me do the extra work."

“Is it because of language communication?”

The reporter asked.

"Zhen Shaolong gave the reporter a look of 'You are very smart and understand what I mean', and suddenly understood what to say, "The captain is the example of the whole team. He must assist the coaching team in the work, complete the training by example, set an example on the field... He must be responsible for a lot of things..."

Zhen Shaolong said a lot in a row, all about what the team captain wanted to do. The reporter immediately understood what he meant, and it should be, "I will work hard to do these things in the future."

In fact, Zhen Shaolong just expressed it and did not say that he would do it.

He really doesn't want to be the deputy captain!

No one else sees this way. They think that Zhen Shaolong will definitely do it in the future.

certainly.

There are also people with doubts, such as C-Ronaldo, who knows Zhen Shaolong. C-Ronaldo has always regarded Zhen Shaolong as an opponent. He has not been in the mood to compete again recently and also hopes to create glory with Zhen Shaolong. He thinks he has a certain understanding of Zhen Shaolong. When he heard Zhen Shaolong say a lot of things, he couldn't help but think, "This guy... will do this in the future?"

"Become a model for training? Just him?"

"I believe it when I try hard on the field, but be a commander? What command can he do? Let others pass the ball?"

"And...assist in training and warm up? It's true or false, he can train normally. A guy who can fall asleep in tactical class..."

c-Ronaldo pressed his hands on his forehead, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt it was unreliable.

When Zhen Shaolong was surrounded by a large group of teammates and was asked by reporters, the former deputy captain of Real Madrid, Guti, was staying alone in the corner.

During the whole party, Guti didn't say a few words.

He was very depressed.

When Raul took the initiative to give up his position as captain, Guti went over to persuade him. He never expected that Zhen Shaolong would become the deputy captain in the end. A team could have several deputy captains, but the deputy captain could be considered the "temporary captain". If the captain was not on the court in the game, the deputy captain would automatically become the captain on the court, so there would only be one recognized deputy captain.

When Zhen Shaolong becomes the vice captain, his "recognized deputy captain status" is equivalent to disappearing. In the future, when Raul is not on the court, Zhen Shaolong will become the captain on the court, and he... can only rank third in the captain sequence.

"well……"

Guti sighed deeply.

The most depressing thing was not that Zhen Shaolong became the deputy captain, but that no one came to ask for his opinion, even his good friend Raul, "Probably Raul thinks that I should be the same as his thoughts and don't care about the position of deputy captain?"

"Of course, I don't..."

"Okay, even if I don't care, I have to ask for my opinion! Why do we all have the same deck? I have to feel very happy and happy when I give the deputy captain to Zhen Shaolong?"

No matter how you think Guti doesn't feel comfortable.

Raul walked over and sat next to Guti, "Jose (Guti), how does it feel to take off the captain's burden? I really envy you. In fact, I don't want to be the captain anymore."

"Why?" Guti was a little confused.

"Because of performance. If I can still perform last year, it will be fine to be the captain, but I don't even have any chances to play. Being the captain will be a burden, the burden of position and the burden of public opinion."

Raul sighed and said.

Guti patted Raul on the shoulder and comforted her with emotion, "Don't worry, Raul, will slowly get better!"

Raul shook his head and continued the topic just now, "So I said, if you don't perform, it's a burden to continue to be the captain. You have less time than me, and it will also become a burden to continue to be the captain."

Raul looked like ‘I helped you’.

Guti opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. After Raul got up and left, his expression still did not change. It took him a long time to shout depressedly, "Are you here to comfort me?"

"Isn't it a sarcasm to me?"

Ramos and Aveloa turned their heads in confusion when they heard the voice.

Guti didn't continue to pretend to be fine. He found that Raul didn't hear it from afar. He smashed the table in depression and shouted angrily, "It's okay!"

———

Two days later.

Real Madrid ushered in an embarrassing and important game, with the King's Cup at home against Alcorcon.

The last away game Real Madrid suffered a shameful defeat and lost four goals to a Class C team. It has not happened in a century of history. It seems worth celebrating to create a new historical record, but it is really embarrassing to become a shameful record.

Now they have a chance to reverse.

Because the last game was a shameful defeat, Real Madrid attached great importance to the game before the game. Pellegrini announced early that "Real Madrid will send the strongest lineup", and of course Zhen Shaolong will be the strongest lineup.

So some embarrassing games still welcomed a large number of fans' support. The Bernabeu Stadium was crowded early, and a large number of Real Madrid fans integrated into it, hoping to see Real Madrid create miracles.

Yes, miracle.

Even if the opponent is only a League C team, it is not easy to create a miracle of four-goal reversal, because the opponent is already four goals ahead and can be patient and seriously defended. There is no need to pay attention to the offense at all, and it will be very motivated. On the contrary, Real Madrid will be very passive and they have to launch their offensives continuously to have the chance to catch up with four goals within 90 minutes.

This is too difficult!

In fact, the teams in the C-level league are not as weak as imagined. The players of the C-level league team can only be considered as just a professional player, but they are also in the third-level league and can compete with the youth teams and even the reserve teams. However, the youth teams and ordinary players of the reserve teams may not necessarily compete with the C-level league players. What can be proved is that most ordinary players of the youth teams in the C-level league will still fall into the low-level league. If you can play the main players in the C-level league team, it is no longer a bad thing.

Teams like Alcorcon have a huge gap in overall strength and the top league, but if they have to be determined to defend, no team dares to say they will win 100%.

This game is a challenge.

After the game started, Real Madrid faced a "analyzed situation". Alcorcon focused on defending, and most of the players were piled around the penalty area, keeping the goal tight.

The strongest lineup sent by Pellegrini, the forward partners are Zhen Shaolong and Raul. Raul helped Real Madrid score a goal in the last league game, breaking his personal goal drought in La Liga. The coaching staff hopes he can perform better.

The end result is disappointment.

Raul is indeed one of the hardest players, but he failed to seize any opportunity in front of the goal and outside the penalty area, and did not score for Real Madrid in the 90 minutes of the game.

Kaka performed very well, with a stable midfield offense. In the 31st minute, he used a sudden shot from the outside to help Real Madrid score the second goal in the game.

Zhen Shaolong's performance continued to be stable and excellent. He scored a goal for Real Madrid in the first and second half, especially in the second half, he scored two goals in the penalty area and shot in the near corner, which pushed the game to a peak.

pity.

That was the last goal.

In the end, Real Madrid won the game 3-0, but because they lost four goals in the first round, they were unfortunately eliminated by Alcorcon and had to withdraw from the Copa del Rey.

After the game.

Real Madrid doesn't want to talk anymore.

Pellegrini is Real Madrid's head coach. He had to bite the bullet and accept an interview, and only praised Zhen Shaolong's performance. When talking about being eliminated from the Copa del Rey, he could only admit frankly, "We were too careless in the first round."

"There are many mistakes that cannot be made up for, and this is a lesson for us. I believe that everyone on the team will record them and will not make the same mistakes in the future. Next, we can focus on the league and the Champions League..."

The next is indeed the Champions League.

The fourth round of the Champions League group stage is coming quickly, Real Madrid faces AC Milan at home, and the continuous games make Real Madrid a little tired. Pellegrini regrets sending all the main players before, and they have to rotate some players, such as C-Ronaldo, Diyala and other players, who play all the games in a row, and their physical condition is obviously not up to par. Even Zhen Shaolong feels a little tired.

But, there is no way!

In the end, Pellegrini still let Diarra appear, the midfield partner became Xavi Alonso, Higuain and Raul were partnered on the front line, C-Ronaldo left the court to rest, and Gago was replaced on the right side, but Zhen Shaolong still entered the roster. Pellegrini was not considering the training team, but the players' physical fitness was really not keeping up, and injuries began to gradually appear.

Fortunately, Real Madrid plays at home, and the players are still very motivated.

This game once again attracted a lot of attention, but the media and fans are not paying attention to Real Madrid, but AC Milan. AC Milan's group stage results are not very good, and losing to Real Madrid will become very critical. For them, they must play the fourth round well.

The good news for AC Milan is that Zhen Shaolong did not start, C-Ronaldo and Kaka were not able to make it into the roster, and Real Madrid's three superstars were resting as a whole, which made them feel very relaxed.

AC Milan's defense does not need to face too much pressure, and the game is relatively easy.

There are big problems with AC Milan's offensive end, and their scoring is a big problem. Even if Real Madrid is suppressed for a period of time, it is still difficult to get a good opportunity in front of the goal. The magical Pato is no longer magical, and the opportunity is not found by the defense in the penalty area for a long time.

AC Milan still has to rely on Pirlo.

In the 44th minute of the game, Pirlo used the opportunity to take the set ball again and shot directly at the bottom corner with a single kick, helping AC Milan break through the goal guarded by Casillas.

"Pirlo! Pirlo!"

"Pirlo helped AC Milan take the lead. The goal in the last time of the first half was too critical. It would give AC Milan a good attitude. Leading also means that it would be easier to play in the second half..."

Pellegrini sighed a long sigh.

Although Real Madrid won three consecutive games in the group stage, he never wants to lose to AC Milan at home. Real Madrid has just experienced the embarrassment of being eliminated from the Copa del Rey and definitely hopes to win a victory, especially against AC Milan, another giant in the group. Victory will also inspire the morale of the whole team.

What to do now?

Pellegrini immediately thought of Zhen Shaolong.

Many people also had the same reaction, such as Real Madrid players. They all thought of Zhen Shaolong and hoped that Zhen Shaolong could come on as a substitute.

This is even more true for Real Madrid fans.

When AC Milan took the lead, even though they knew that the first half was about to end, fans still shouted at the stands around them. They shouted Zhen Shaolong's name loudly, hoping that Zhen Shaolong could be replaced.

Pellegrini covered his forehead helplessly. Of course, he knew the players and fans' feelings. Even he thought of Zhen Shaolong at the first time instead of making any tactical adjustments.

"This should be called dependence, right?"

"The entire Real Madrid has become dependent on Zhen Shaolong..."

Of course, Pellegrini knows that this is not good. Not to mention whether Zhen Shaolong will still belong to Real Madrid next season, even if he will definitely be a Real Madrid player, over-reliance on one player will also become a big problem.

What if Zhen Shaolong is injured?

At that time, Real Madrid's fighting spirit and achievements will be greatly affected!
