Chapter 729: Chapter 729
The next day at training, Kevin heard that Capello’s car was stolen.
Higuain, that’s a bit too much.
At lunchtime, Kevin took the initiative to walk over to Higuain, just about to speak.
Cassano yelled from the side, "Big news, the car thief has been caught, were the Madrid police drunk, how did they crack the case!"
He patted Higuain on the shoulder and went with Cassano to check out the commotion.
Kevin was also curious why someone would come to a place like Valdebebas to steal cars.
The security at Real Madrid might be weak, but outsiders wouldn’t know that.
The police described the case, and it actually had something to do with him, Kevin.
The issue of Kevin giving his teammates customized watches and various gifts was exaggerated by the youth team players during a meal out, saying Kevin gave the first team customized watches worth hundreds of thousands of Euros, which caught the attention of the thieves.
The gang planned to try their luck at Valdebebas.
However, they weren’t familiar with Valdebebas and ended up stealing a few pairs of football boots being maintained in the equipment manager’s office, and on their way out, they saw various tools by Capello’s car and impulsively decided to steal it.
Kevin didn’t even know what to say.
A few people just waltzed into the team and ended up stealing stuff.
Baldano and Calderon’s club management was just too poor.
In the afternoon, Galbiati announced the solution on the training ground.
"I know you guys often drive your own cars to training, and no one wants this to happen again. Therefore, the club has decided to expand the security team, strengthen the patrols around Valdebebas, and ensure someone is watching over the parking lot before you leave,"
"About time, or else I’d be afraid to drive a good car to school!"
"Hahaha, you talk about going to school, have you ever gone to school?"
Ramos said, holding his belly and laughing.
"Damn it, Fabio is more serious than my old teachers, am I wrong?"
"Hey, buddy, watch your back."
"Don’t try to fool me."
Cassano said disdainfully, but as he instinctively turned his head, he saw Capello with a stern face.
Frightened, Cassano fell to the ground, pushing himself back several steps with his feet.
"The others can go home now, Antonio Cassano stays behind,"
Capello said, adjusting his glasses.
Cassano looked towards Kevin for help, only Kevin could save him at a time .
Kevin pretended not to see and followed his teammates back to the locker room.
Although Capello was a bit tough on Cassano, it was for Cassano’s own good.
After changing clothes, Higuain arrived at the parking lot, saw the patrolling security guards, and heaved a sigh. It looked like his extra snack activities had become a thing of the past.
In a big club, these kinds of things simply couldn’t be kept secret.
That evening, while Kevin was at home, he watched Cruyff, who was more than willing to grab the opportunity to talk about Real Madrid’s popularity, talking animatedly on TV.
"Real Madrid is on the decline, I am certain of it,"
Cruyff said, "Pep has been doing well since taking over, and although Barça is currently 8 points behind Real Madrid, I think Barça can catch up. When Kevin is not around, Real Madrid shows a lot of weaknesses. They are a team that is impulsive and lacks teamwork, and being eliminated from the Copa del Rey is proof."
Cruyff was talking about Guardiola.
After being thrashed by Real Madrid, Rijkaard couldn’t keep his position as the coach.
Guardiola, who had been leveling up in the ranks for a while, seamlessly took over as the coach of Barça.
"According to you, now that Kevin is recovered, Real Madrid’s weaknesses no longer exist,"
the host said, crossing his legs.
It was, after all, a laid-back talk show.
Cruyff replied with a smile, "Kevin’s prolonged injury will make Capello doubt using him, and we have seen this, the number ten of Real Madrid may only play one game in a month. And Real Madrid often loses to mid and lower-tier teams; at these times, Kevin may not even be in the roster, which is why I say Barça will surpass them on the leaderboards."
"But looking at the schedule, Kevin is unlikely to miss the important matches, and there’s also an El Clasico. Even if Real Madrid drops points against mid and lower-tier teams, it won’t happen in every game, with 15 rounds left in the league and without a few important matches, can Barça really make a comeback?"
Kevin almost wanted to applaud the host.
He had pointed out a key factor, whenever it’s an important game, the Yellow Ball King will play. Exclude matches against teams like Valencia and Barça where he might be called to save the team as a substitute, and there are only a few games left that he wouldn’t be included in the roster.
In this scenario, for Barça to think of a comeback was like dreaming.
It’s not like Capello’s team always faltered.
Cruyff also realized this problem and coughed twice to shift the topic: "Losing to Almeria, and being eliminated from the Copa del Rey, are both blows to Real Madrid. The theft in the parking lot also shows problems in the management of Real Madrid Club; they are now in decline. We often see Florentino criticizing Calderon in the papers, from the chairman to the executives, from team staff to the first team. They have significant issues and cannot replicate last season’s success."
