For Real Madrid fans, this summer's transfer made them feel both satisfied and not satisfied. Since the summer transfer, Real Madrid was shouting "I want to buy Vieira". However, no matter how they shouted, they only thundered and did not rain. Wenger bit Vieira and refused to let go, just unwilling to sell Vieira to Real Madrid. Both sides even broke their faces in the end. Wenger openly cursed Real Madrid and said, "You will not win the Champions League in another thirty years." Florentino said in an interview that we are only one Champions League to win the double-digit Champions League championship. Where is Arsenal?

In this battle of words, Real Madrid finally failed to poach the Gunners captain as they wished. Vieira announced that he would stay in Arsenal, which made Arsenal fans relieved. You know, they are struggling now. The construction of the stadium makes them unable to invest in the transfer market. This season, they only bought Spanish goalkeeper Amunia for 500,000 euros to serve as the substitute for Lehman, and then they couldn't pay a penny...

Vieira suffered a huge setback, and Real Madrid was doing relatively smoothly in other aspects. 25 million euros bought Argentine defender Samuel from Serie A, and 20 million euros bought England central defender Woodgate from Newcastle. The arrival of these two famous defenders made Real Madrid's weak central defender position sufficiently supplemented. Although Vieira was not bought, Elgra can also play as a midfielder...

Florentino's pursuit of striker and attacker will not stop - after announcing that Vieira's transfer was stranded, they signed the England national team's top striker Michael Irving in a flash, which is also a very popular player. Although Real Madrid's forward line has become a bit saturated after already possessing Raul and Ronaldo and recovering Morientes from Monaco, who makes Real Madrid like to hoard forwards...

Irving's transfer price seems a bit low - only 12 million euros, but Irving's contract is only one year left, and Liverpool is forced to sell him. Most importantly, head coach Benitez seems to have no objection to this.

Two good defenders and two good forwards came. Florentino felt that all this was quite perfect, but he ignored one thing - defense is not just a defender, and the cover and running in the midfield are more important. Real Madrid was already a mess in the midfield position last season. This season, Cambiaso, who left the more reliable Cambiaso, did not make any extra money in the midfield position - their new head coach Raymond couldn't see this, but this unfamous head coach absolutely did not have the courage to make any requests for Florentino...

There are really few people who can do it well as a head coach under a strong chairman like Florentino. Capello, like a strong man, could only surrender in the end. Except for Mourinho later, no one could grab enough power in Florentino's hands. Even Mourinho was because Barcelona had too great threat. Florentino could no longer find any coach except Mourinho who could complete the task of leading the team to block Barcelona, ​​so that he would give Mourinho so much power.

Jose is really not particularly worried about dealing with such a team with a team with a brass head, iron legs, tofu waist.

The hasty defense line, the midfield superstars who have been working hard for the summer, and the four forwards with different ambitions... Now Real Madrid is described in the words of Eileen Chang, wearing a gorgeous leather robe, but lice are covered in it.

However, before this official game begins, Jose has one more thing to do.

In a local hotel in Madrid, Jose rented the hotel's large conference room, and then he held a conference with four or five assistant coaches and 25 first-team players.

The topic of the conference is about the candidates for the next captain.

Originally, Jose could have appointed a captain at will, but now the situation in Mallorca is a bit special. In recent years, the old players before Mallorca have basically changed one after another, and there are not many players left who have been joining the team for a long time. There were Nadal, who was older and stronger before, so of course there would be no problem. Nadal had already talked with Jose this season. After all, he was thirty-eight years old and seemed a little overwhelmed last season. He will no longer be the main player this season, so he also needs to find a new candidate in terms of captaining.

This gave Jose a headache. Among the older first-team players in Mallorca, Marcos is a substitute for ten thousand years. Even if he is qualified, he will not be able to be the captain. The situation of Nino, Campo and Romero is the same. They are all from Mallorca's youth training. Except for Nino, everyone else goes around outside and returns to Mallorca, which is somewhat similar to Nadal. However, after all, Nadal was the absolute main force before, but they were only the main substitute at most. Campano barely qualified. However, the problem he faces is the same, that is, he cannot guarantee the position of the main force. What other captain can he be a captain who does not play the main force?

However, among the several fixed main players in Mallorca, Kameni has only joined for a year. Ram and Iniesta are the same. Mex only joined last year. He has a fixed position and is qualified to be the captain. There are only these few - Alonso, Mattias, Kaka, Torres...

These four people joined after the World Cup in 2002, while Matthias began to join the first team after the World Cup in 2002. This season will be their third season in Mallorca and will also be an unshakable candidate for Jose's future team building. However, it is enough to select the captain from these people.

So Jose simply prepared to hold a meeting and then elect the captain from among them - for a public election...

"I called everyone here today because I wanted to solve one thing."

After everyone sat down, Jose coughed and went straight to the topic: "In the past five seasons, Miguel has been our captain, and his performance has been quite outstanding... He is one of the greatest captains in our history of Mallorca. However, Miguel is thirty-eight years old. He told me before this season that this season will be his last season in Mallorca, and he will gradually fade out of the main lineup this season. In this case, it will be a bit inappropriate for Miguel to be the captain again, because he will not play in many games... so we need to choose a second captain and a third captain. Regarding the candidate for this captain, I don't want to specify it myself. Your captain needs to choose your own captain. First, you all recommend the players you think are suitable for as captains, and then elect according to the vote. Do you understand?"

The players of Mallorca looked at each other, then nodded to show that they understood that this is not a big deal. After the captain faded out, ordinary teams simply select the captain based on their position and the year they played for. It doesn’t matter whether the second and third captains are the main players. For example, last season, Mallorca’s captain was Nadal, while the second captain was substitute goalkeeper Roa, and the third captain was Olesora, who rarely played. In fact, many teams are like this.

However, now Nadal will no longer serve as the main force, so there is no situation where the second and third captains are increased. In this case, a new second and third captains must be selected. After Nadal retires, he will naturally become the team captain and complete the transfer of power.

The captain and the locker room leader on the field may not be the same person. However, the locker room leader can be low-key, but the captain must be high-key. Now Matthias already has the style of a Mallorca locker room leader. After all, the captain was relatively low-key. Matthias was also quite likable while being tough. He was also a local player. He naturally stood out among a group of teammates who were both low-key and silent. However, if Jose appointed Matthias as the captain, his prestige would be somewhat insufficient to convince the public.

So Jose asked the players to recommend the captain themselves, so that the recommended captains will have more say on the court.

"We are voting secretly. Newcomers, you can choose to abstain. After all, you have just joined the team for a while and are not familiar with other players. Of course, if you are willing to vote, we will still welcome you." Jose asked Natal to send a stack of paper to the players, and explained with a smile: "Just write down the two captains you are willing to elect, and the one who gets the most votes will become the second and third captains of the team. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" The players nodded one after another. After Mathias got the paper, he laughed twice, and then poked Iniesta and Torres beside him: "I'll invite you two to dinner tomorrow!"

"Please don't form cliques or attempt to bribe voters." Jose's voice came from the other side of the table...

Matthias's neck shrank and began to write on the paper.

When Jose collected all the notes, he laughed while looking at them. Although it was unknown, he could still recognize who it was from his handwriting...

For example, Iniesta wrote "Recommend Captain Matthias and Captain Torres Third Captain." Torres wrote "Recommend Captain Alonso, and Captain I myself."

Klose wrote a few simple words on it, "I abstain." Van Persie wrote a large piece of it: "I originally wanted to recommend me, but it was impossible. I was not familiar with others, so I chose to abstain..."

The shameless one is Matthias, who wrote it very simply, "The second captain Matthias, the third captain Matthias, and the best first captain Matthias is also Matthias..."

After counting the data, Jose coughed: "Well... According to statistics... Matthias won thirteen votes, twelve of which were valid, becoming the second captain of the team, Alonso won 10 votes, and ten votes were valid, becoming the third captain of the team. Do you have any opinions?"

The players looked at each other and shook their heads collectively.

"Then, Matthias becomes the second captain of the team, and Alonso becomes the third captain of the team... In tomorrow's game, Matthias will appear with the captain's armband. Damian, do you have anything to say?" Jose nodded and asked Matthias.

"Will I say I voted for myself? Brothers, come on, kill Real Madrid tomorrow, and I will treat you to dinner after returning to Mallorca!" Matthias stood up and waved his fist violently, then roared.

The other players immediately gave out warm applause, including huge boos...

ps: Yesterday I wrote the Bernabeu as Camp Nou again. These two home courts are all three words, which are easy to mess up. In the future, these two words will be used in our book. Brothers, please understand the spirit~
