It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 161 159 Benzema's plan (Daily transition)
After completing the FIFA10 promotional campaign and defeating Charles' Barcelona 3-0, Benzema returned home worriedly.

As a professional player, although Benzema likes to go to nightclubs, miss empty goals from time to time, and play "happy football", he is still very professional.

Logically speaking, as a Real Madrid player, his heart should be towards Real Madrid, ready to win more honors for that white flag, but the opponent in the next game is Barcelona.

Charles is at Barcelona.

He still remembers that the first Spanish derby last season was also played at the Nou Camp.

Ramos, who had just taken over the coaching position from Schuster, led Real Madrid to play an extremely ugly game. They retreated completely from the first minute and used a tactic of rotating fouls against Messi.

Although Real Madrid failed to bring back points from Camp Nou in the end and lost the game 0-2, the players who were given special attention at Barcelona were not much better.

Benzema doesn't care whether Messi is injured this time.

But what about Charles?
What to do if it gets kicked?
After spending some time together, Benzema also discovered that although Pepe was very quiet off the court, his fighting power on the court was not exaggerated.

Last season, Pepe pushed someone and even kicked him after knocking him down.

Not to mention how many games Pepe will be suspended for in the end, but Charles' injury time may be longer than Pepe's suspension time.

Most importantly, in addition to the players' actions, Benzema also knows that Florentino has made a lot of preparations.

He is now not even sure whether Real Madrid's team doctor has really infiltrated Barcelona.

Benzema paced up and down his room in Madrid.

He even refused to go to a nightclub when Ramos asked him to.

Looking at the moon slowly rising outside the window, Benzema gritted his teeth and opened the computer browser.

"How to send teammates off the field secretly?"

“How do you express sadness and regret naturally?”

“How can I prevent my colleagues from taking revenge on me?”

"What are the foods you should not eat before an exam?"

"What foods can give you diarrhea?"

"How do you hide the stick after an elegant stun?"

"How do you fake an alibi?"

Soon, Benzema's notebook was filled with key points.

The Spanish national derby is getting closer and closer, and we must act quickly.

Although Diarra is also French, it is more reliable to do this kind of thing alone.

Benzema thought secretly in his heart.

Diara, you don't want Charles to get hurt.

So... I'm sorry, Pepe, don't blame me for taking the initiative!

"If I'm starving and I go to the police station and eat a police dog, what crime will I be convicted of?"

"Come on, you used to be a bun, now you're a dog, are you going to go to the police station to steal chrysanthemums in a few days?"

"Is this cheating legitimate?"

"Eat a meal that makes you laugh until your stomach hurts."

"It doesn't seem right to steal from a police dog, does it?"

"Yan Xiaoliu: I finally waited for the man to eat it secretly."

"You use this to test the cadres?"

"Director: I've been cracking down on prostitution for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen someone surrender himself."

"Please come and eat our director. You can't refuse to eat him just because my director is not the director of the Public Security Bureau."

"Does the deputy director eat?"

"You really are a clear soup master, you eat everything."

"Come back, come back. We are Ciel here, not the director. Let's talk about something serious."

"I don't know if Charles will play as a midfielder or a forward in this game."

"It can be either midfielder or forward. If Charles plays in midfield, let Iniesta play forward. If he plays forward, let Iniesta play in midfield. No matter which one, Barcelona's midfield control is there."

"Actually, what I'm most concerned about is whether Charles will start this time. You know, in the last national derby, when Charles was on the bench, he was the king, and Barcelona beat Real Madrid 8-2. What will happen if he starts?"

“I watched that game on my knees.”

"Charles doesn't need to score so many goals this time. Just half of them will be enough."

"I'm already worried about how Charles will get off the field. In the last game, he was sent off by Gago, and Pepe was suspended for a flagrant foul. Otherwise, Charles would have had to stay in the hospital in Madrid for ten days to half a month."

"It's okay. The VIP room in the hospital that Barcelona prepared for Charles has been renewed."

"..."

As the game time approached, all the players of Charles and Barcelona checked into the pre-match hotel.

While Benzema was still thinking about how to perfectly implement his plan, Charles, who was completely unaware of the situation, was still having dinner with his teammates.

Charles had just taken today's food from Alvaro.

In fact, as long as you don’t ignore the adverse consequences of eating Barcelona’s food, Barcelona’s food is still quite delicious.

When I took a piece of toast and was about to eat it, Harvey suddenly came over with a newspaper.

"Guess what this is?"

Messi didn't even look up, still struggling with his food.

"What? What did the Madrid media write again?"

"No, no, no, those toilet papers were thrown away by Pep a long time ago, guess quickly!"

Harvey said excitedly.

"Say it quickly."

Puyol said.

"What's the news? Is Ronaldo not going to play, or is Real Madrid going to change the coach after losing this game? If so, I think Real Madrid's head coach Moranda is quite suitable."

"Who is Moranda?" Charles looked at Puyol in confusion.

Puyol took a sip of soup and said with a smile, "Moranda is the owner of the breakfast shop downstairs from my house. I think the head coach of Real Madrid is sometimes like this."

Everyone laughed, and for a moment the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Okay, okay, I won't keep you in suspense any more."

Harvey opened the newspaper in his hand.

"It was France Football that announced the 2009-man shortlist for the 10 Ballon d'Or. We at Barcelona had five players on the shortlist, while Real Madrid had only two."

"…La Liga: Kaka (AC Milan/Real Madrid), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United/Real Madrid), Ibrahimovic (Inter Milan/Barcelona), Iniesta (Barcelona), Messi (Barcelona), Xavi (Barcelona), Charles (Barcelona).

Premier League: Drogba (Chelsea), Rooney (Manchester United).

Serie A: Eto'o (Barcelona/Inter Milan). ” Charles was a little surprised to hear this.

Although the final winner of the 2009 Ballon d'Or will not be announced until later, this time the organizer "France Football" actually announced the long list two days in advance.

Barcelona remains strong in this Ballon d'Or race.
In the 30-man squad, of the seven Barcelona players selected, only Henry and Yaya Toure failed to make the top 7.

Real Madrid also has Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka selected, but both of them joined this season. So by this calculation, Real Madrid actually does not have either one.

"Charles, is this your first time being shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or?"

Puyol asked with a smile.

"Indeed, I've never thought about that before," Charles nodded.

Messi also looked up and said, "This is the first time for the Golden Boy Award, right? I think you are basically the winner of this Golden Boy Award."

"Having won the Champions League Golden Boy Award is a sure win," Xavi echoed. "Have you paid attention to the list of candidates for the Golden Boy Award this time?"

For players like Xavi, other awards other than the Ballon d'Or are no longer of much concern.

Ciel shook his head. "The list of candidates was narrowed down some time ago. The awards will be presented on December 12th."

As for the others, who was on the list, Charles didn't care that much.

As for a lot of awards, maybe because he knew it was impossible before, but now that he is told that he has a good chance of winning, Charles won’t be too emotional.

"Well then, I wish our Mr. Golden Boy Award a successful victory in advance."

The three of them said in unison.

……

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the evening of November 11th.

The game was about to start, but Pellegrini always felt nervous.

It is said that Chelsea changes coaches frequently, that is because the boss has high demands.

But Real Madrid's coaching change is even more drastic than Chelsea's.

Pellegrini still remembers clearly how his predecessor was fired.

Real Madrid fans like gorgeous attacks. They not only require the team to win, but also require the team to win beautifully.

Ramos is pretty good, but his tactics made Real Madrid play ugly.

This time, the national derby has given Chilean engineers a headache after referring to the two national derbies of the previous season.

The first game was fine, but what the hell was going on with the second game?
After a long discussion with his coaching team, Pellegrini finally decided on a tactic for Real Madrid, which was to attack Barcelona head-on.

Defense?

He didn't think Ciel could be completely defended.

The only way is not to change the way they play, while trying to slow down the tempo of Barcelona's game and find ways to prevent Barcelona from playing the football they do best.

But how to stop Barca?

This problem troubled Pellegrini for three days, and the solution he finally came up with was to limit Charles' performance.

"I emphasize again, everyone, remember, Diarra, you must defend Charles closely during the game."

Pellegrini couldn't help but pull the tactical board over again.

"Okay, coach, I understand," Diarra nodded.

"Second, Chris and Kaka, don't forget during pre-match training, when Charles moves to a certain position, you have to go up and help Diarra to ensure that you can form a double-team defense against Charles."

"Another important point, Alonso, you have to press Xavi closely and prevent him from coming to support Charles."

Alonso nodded.

"Third, we must start counter-attacking from the front court and not give Barcelona time and space to organize. Kaka, you must harass Pique and Puyol closely and don't let them pass the ball to Charles easily."

"Also, Chris, you need to find the right time to harass Toure, force him, and completely cut off the connection between them and Ciel."

"Everything is to isolate Charles from the other Barcelona teammates, so as to reduce his danger..."

After saying a lot of things he wanted to say, Pellegrini left the locker room and went to the press conference at the prompting of the staff.

But as soon as the press conference ended, Pellegrini looked at the starting lineup in his hand and his teeth were about to break.

Mudd!

The damn bald guy actually submitted the starting lineup at the last minute again, and the names of all the players on it were exactly the same as what he had imagined.

However, this time, Charles played as a forward, not a midfielder!
"How to do?"

The assistant coach looked at Pellegrini anxiously.

All their preparations before the game were based on Charles playing in midfield. Now that Charles has changed his position, what can they do?
Pellegrini looked up and sighed.

He has coached in La Liga for 6 years and has played against Barcelona many times, but this time is probably the worst one.

"Oh - I don't know either. Let's go back and see if Chelsea still needs a head coach."

……

After changing his equipment, Charles left the locker room and waited in the player tunnel with familiarity.

"TADA~Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reverse Tino Zoff - Dragan Zajic."

"Perhaps the most vivid memory of Dino Zoff's playing career is when he lifted the World Cup gold trophy for Italy at the age of 40."

"But 14 years before that moment, he had won another important title with Italy, winning the 1968 European Championship on Italian soil."

"A full stadium at San Paolo did not bring good luck to Italy at the start of their 1966 World Cup defeat to North Korea."

"Five minutes into the game, in an era when there was no such thing as substitutes, the Italian team was down one player because of an injury."

"As a goalkeeper, Zoff stood up to the test and kept the goal intact."

"But after 120 minutes of play, neither Italy nor the Soviet Union had scored a goal."

"According to the rules at the time, the game had to be decided by a coin toss."

"In the end, the goddess of luck favored the Italian team. Through a coin toss, Zoff successfully entered the final and competed with Yugoslavia for the championship in Rome."

"Dragan Zajic, the best striker of Yugoslavia in the final, came uninvited in front of Zov's goal and broke through the goal guarded by Zov."

"However, just as the game was about to end, Italy was awarded a free kick."

“Angelo Domoncini hits the mark in one fell swoop.”

"The game is tied again."

"Fortunately for Dragan Zajic, this time the match did not need to be decided by a coin toss."

"But unfortunately, in the replay two days later, Italy played a perfect performance and Dragan Zajic fell before dawn, closest to the trophy."

"He scored a stunning overhead kick against England's legendary goalkeeper Banks in the semi-finals and helped his team to win the game, but ultimately failed to save Yugoslavia again in the final."
