The lunch in Real Madrid is all settled in the restaurant of Real Madrid Sports City. Since Mourinho came to Real Madrid, he has asked the team's lunches to be eaten together, and this regulation is not allowed to be violated unless there are special circumstances.

This is Mourinho's main method to enhance the team's cohesion and make everyone feel that the team is a team, not a loose set. He also did this in Inter Milan. The importance of doing this in Real Madrid is particularly important because everyone knows that Real Madrid has never been very harmonious, and there are always various contradictory voices.

The locker room is divided into several factions, fighting openly and secretly.

After Mourinho arrived, the factional dispute improved slightly, and it was the credit for having lunch together.

When Chu Zhongtian was in Metz or Hoffenheim, he would eat lunch at will, eat wherever he wanted, and eat whatever he wanted. He could eat in the team's restaurant, go home, and even ask a few friends to eat in the restaurant.

At Real Madrid, he couldn't do that, he had to dine in a restaurant in the Sports City with his teammates.

Before dinner, everyone saw Chu Zhongtian going to find Mourinho, and they could guess what he was doing when he went to find Mourinho. During the lunch time, everyone was guessing what the result was between Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho.

Many people firmly believe that Chu Zhongtian could not convince Mourinho, so it is a foregone conclusion that the three of them were suspended, so it is said nothing.

Now Chu Zhongtian appeared in the restaurant, carrying a plate to pick up food in front of the buffet table, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Then he sat next to Bell with the meal.

Ramos is a local Spanish player, and he has long been surrounded by Spanish players.

In fact, the factional distinction between Real Madrid is not only reflected in the locker room, but also very obvious in the restaurant. Everyone chooses people with good relationships to sit together for dinner, and good relationships will naturally become a faction. Spanish local players, Portuguese players, Argentine players, French players, German players... and so on.

Only Bell is relatively empty because he has no faction in the team.

Chu Zhongtian sat beside Bale's first sentence: "I went to find the head coach just now, but I didn't convince him to change his mind. We can't even play in the Champions League game. I'm so embarrassed, Gareth..."

Bell shook his head with a wry smile.

If this is the case, what else can he say? He can only show himself desperately in training, hoping that Mourinho will not have any prejudice against him.

"Forget it, there's nothing to say about this matter..."

The two of them buried their heads in their meal. After a while, Ramos sat over with a plate.

"Hey, Chu. Hey, Gareth." He greeted Chu Zhongtian and Bell.

The two of them also gave him a gift.

"How are you talking to Mourinho, Chu?" Ramos came up and asked.

Chu Zhongtian shook his head helplessly: "I still have to be suspended from the team..."

Ramos raised his eyebrows. "Actually, we have discussed it. It is impossible for Mourinho to change his mind. He is very stubborn."

Ramos is not worried about being suspended because he knows that he is unshakable in the position of the main right-back. Aveloa is not the same level as himself. At most, he can serve as an assistant in games where his opponents are not strong. Once he encounters a strong opponent, he will eventually rely on himself. Therefore, the ban on the team is like a holiday for him, giving him a short rest.

He was not as frightened deep in his heart about his position in the team like Bale.

After finding out the latest news, Ramos returned to his seat with a plate and started chatting with his local Spanish teammates.

Chu Zhongtian patted Bell on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I think you should be suspended for one game, so there will be no serious trouble." Chu Zhongtian comforted the little monkey. He analyzed it himself and felt that it should be like this. After all, he was the main culprit, and Ramos and Bale were accomplices, and Bale did not suppress too much at that time. So the punishment he might have been severe, but Bale and Ramos should not have anything.

※※※After the Madrid derby, the Champions League match became the focus of media attention.

This game is the second match between the two strongest teams in the group. The last time Mourinho's team overturned Arsenal away. Arsenal came to the Bernabeu with a revenge mentality this time, which must be a good show of fighting.

Chinese media are looking forward to Chu Zhongtian's outstanding performance in this game. In the last Madrid derby, Chu Zhongtian scored a goal and an assist, which was the key figure in that game. Chinese media of course hope that he can continue his good state of scoring goals in two consecutive games and scored his first goal in the Champions League this season.

But when Mourinho announced the roster for the Champions League group stage one day in advance, they were surprised to find that Chu Zhongtian was not on the 18-man roster.

The Chinese reporter was stunned for a moment - Chu Zhongtian is the core of Real Madrid, and everyone has already made it clear after several months of the game. Moreover, since the situation before the game, there was no news of any injury. So why was Chu Zhongtian unable to play in such an important game?

Like Chu Zhongtian, those who did not appear on the 18-man roster include Sergio Ramos and Gareth Bale.

The three players did not appear on the roster against Arsenal at the same time, which attracted the attention of the media.

The official explanation from Real Madrid is: "The three of them suffered minor injuries during training."

Is this really the case? The media generally disbelief. I saw these three people lively in the training ground yesterday? Why did they suddenly get injured after a night? Could it be that they dreamed of kicking their legs and hurting their thigh muscles while sleeping? This is too nonsense, who would believe it?

They turned to interview the player himself, but were turned away.

"The coaching staff has regulations that they will not accept any form of interviews before the game." All three people said this.

Obviously this is because Mourinho issued a ban on them.

The coaching staff's explanation is full of doubts, and the players' attitudes are also confusing. If there is nothing tricky about it, it will be strange.

So many rumors appeared quickly.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Ramos deliberately leaked out the "rumor".

"...What is the reason why Chu Zhongtian was excluded from the Arsenal roster by Mourinho? It's very simple. They have a conflict. But what conflict is it? According to reporters' investigations from multiple sources, it should be Chu Zhongtian who contradicted Mourinho in training, which made the head coach with a rebellious personality lively, so he was excluded from the 18-man roster. Isn't it normal for him to be excluded from the 18-man roster?"

"...There are rumors that Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho have conflicts, but there are many specific contradictions. The author is more inclined to think that Chu Zhongtian showed a side of not listening to Mourinho's command in Atletico Madrid. Let's revisit the ball that Real Madrid overtakes Atletico Madrid... Chu Zhongtian signaled Ramos and Bale to assist at the same time. At that time, the camera once gave Mourinho a close-up. His expression was first surprised, then angry. Obviously, Chu Zhongtian violated the tactics he set in advance... We all remember how Pedro Leon fell out of favor under Mourinho last season because he did not listen to the command of the head coach. Although we don't know how he violated it, which order he violated. But it is an indisputable fact that Leon was thrown into the cold palace, and later news from all sides confirmed this..."

"...It seems that Chu Zhongtian's life under Mourinho's account will be very difficult. Mourinho is a person with a strong desire to control himself. He will never allow his players to confront him so blatantly... Chu Zhongtian's good life in Real Madrid is facing such a huge crisis in a few days! It's really worrying..."

The domestic media exaggerated the dilemma faced by Chu Zhongtian naturally made Chinese fans very worried.

They criticized Mourinho on the Internet, or wanted to figure out how they offended Mourinho.

Since Chu Zhongtian didn't even make the roster, many people's attention to this Champions League group stage has also decreased a lot. In China, many people originally had giant teams that they supported. They all watched Real Madrid's games just because Real Madrid had Chu Zhongtian. Now there is no Chu Zhongtian in Real Madrid's lineup, so naturally there is no need to pay attention.

※※※No matter how the outside media speculates, it is already a fait accompli for Chu Zhongtian and Ramos to be unable to play.

Without Chu Zhongtian, the influence on Real Madrid has not been overturned because they have another core - Xavi Alonso.

This is also the reason why Mourinho dared to punish Chu Zhongtian and others before such a critical game. Real Madrid does not rely entirely on a certain player. Without Chu Zhongtian, we still have Alonso. Alonso was injured. Don’t we still have Chu Zhongtian?

As long as one of these two people is there, Real Madrid will have the backbone.

In this game, Real Madrid defeated the visiting Arsenal 2:1 at home. Arsenal once led the game, but Real Madrid then stubbornly equalized the score and eventually reversed. In this game, Arsenal's performance was much better than the previous game, and Fabregas's performance was also very good. Without Chu Zhongtian, he suddenly felt a lighter. Neither Alonso nor Khedira could make him feel like he was trapped in the quagmire.

The person he was most worried about sat in the VIP room at the Bernabeu Stadium and watched with Ramos and Bale.

The people who scored for Real Madrid were Benzema and Ozil. The French scorer finally scored his first goal in the Champions League this season, which slightly relieved his anxiety.

Mourinho was very satisfied with the victory of this game, but he was still disturbed at the post-match press conference - the reporters were more concerned about why Chu Zhongtian, who had performed well before, was placed in the stands and did not even make the substitute lineup.

Mourinho said with a stern face: "I think we should be talking about people who participated in the game, not people who watched the game in the stands." He used this sentence to block the mouths of all reporters and no longer answered any questions about Chu Zhongtian, Ramos and Bale.

Chu Zhongtian, Ramos and others drove back to their respective residences after the competition.

The reporters didn't even look for them.

A Chinese reporter with a good relationship with Chu Zhongtian called him and asked him. Chu Zhongtian talked about how outstanding Real Madrid performed in this game. He was proud of his teammates. The reporter had to correct the topic to the track he hoped: "What made you miss this game? Real Madrid officials said you were injured. Is this true?"

Chu Zhongtian continued to look around and talk about him: "I don't think this question is important. The victory of this game has shown that even without me, Real Madrid can defeat the enemy. So what we have to do is not ask why I didn't play, but be happy about the victory of this game... That's it, I'm sleepy and have to rest early, goodbye!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The reporter over there smiled bitterly with his phone that had been cut off. Chu Zhongtian obviously didn't want to continue talking about this matter, which shows that he had a hidden secret. But what kind of hidden secret can he have? Mourinho suppressed the ban? This is the most likely. So what is the conflict between these two people? What's going on with Ramos and Bale? Let's not talk about it anymore. Bale has always been a low-key and honest person since joining the team. How could he have any conflicts with Mourinho?

The reporter couldn't figure it out.

But he is not alone, and there are many people who are as hard to understand as him.

※※※The relationship between Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho has become a topic of concentrated hype among the media in recent days.

In comparison, Real Madrid defeated Arsenal at home and had already secured the first place in the group ahead of schedule, which seemed to be no one paying attention to it.

Chu Zhongtian did not fail to be serious in training because he was suspended from the team, and his attitude was still impeccable.

It wasn't that he enjoyed this attitude to convince Mourinho and let himself return to the court, but that's what he was.

Since that separate conversation, Mourinho has never looked for Chu Zhongtian again, and Chu Zhongtian has never looked for Mourinho again.

Real Madrid is also full of curiosity and various speculations about the relationship between the two.

There was a grudge between Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho, and everyone has heard of it a little bit. Before Real Madrid and Hoffenheim played last season, the Spanish media had hyped this matter a lot, so everyone knows it.

Could it be that the old grudges recurred? Mourinho has been unhappy with Chu Zhongtian, but Chu Zhongtian's performance before was impeccable, which made him no excuse to attack Chu Zhongtian. Now Chu Zhongtian finally made a mistake in the game, so of course he has to take the opportunity to deal with him once?

But to be honest, the players think that if it was this reason, they would be too dissatisfied. Of course, Chu Zhongtian did violate the coach's advice at the halftime and almost caused the goal to be lost. But the goal that surpassed the score was his assist. The team won the goal, and he was also the most rewarding. One goal and the other assist were named the best player in that game. Such a person should not accept any punishment.

In the football circle, as long as you win the ball, no problem should be a problem. This is one of the unspoken rules. Which team keeps getting conflicts and scandals behind consecutive victories? No.

Victory is everyone's amulet.

But this amulet does not work for Chu Zhongtian.

He was still suppressed by Mourinho.

Kaka was very dissatisfied with Chu Zhongtian being suppressed, but he couldn't say anything. After all, Mourinho is the boss of this team, and even if he is Mr. Golden Ball, he has to put away his temper.

He could only comfort Chu Zhongtian in private.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian didn't need his comfort, but he also thanked Kaka for his kindness.

Since Chu Zhongtian debuted, except for being a reserve player for half a season at Mets, he has been smooth sailing all the time. He has the head coach appreciated any team and can gain the main position almost without any effort. Such conflicts with the head coach have never happened to him.

So in the past, Chinese media said that Chu Zhongtian had very good professional ethics and qualities, and was also well received in the circle.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at Real Madrid, I encountered such a crisis.

In the eyes of outsiders, this matter can be big or small. The big one is that he and Mourinho leave one after another. According to Florentino's habit, the head coach is always the one who leaves in the end. After all, Chu Zhongtian was bought for 70 million euros. It is impossible to let him go after a season, so only Mourinho, the rebellious person, left. This result is what anti-Real Madridists want to see most, which means that Real Madrid has lost more than half of its combat power. If Real Madrid clubs don't have a brain twitch, they should try their best to avoid this situation.

Xiao, then naturally, after being thrown into the cold palace for a few games, Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho reconciled, and the generals and ministers reconciled, and Chu Zhongtian reappeared in the starting lineup. The Galaxy battleship Real Madrid adjusted its course and moved towards their target again.

No one knows what will happen in the end. But everyone can work hard outside. Some people can help them to reconcile their ministers, but some people can simply fan the flames and continue to provoke them.

The Catalan media have reported on the internal conflicts of Real Madrid for several consecutive days. The discord between Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho was exaggerated by them. It seems that the two of them have reached the point of "I have nothing to do with it". Various news about Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho's possible departure from Real Madrid, and who will be the next one is revealed in the newspapers.

It seems that Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho will both leave the Bernabeu next summer...and it seems to be to confirm these reports from the Catalan media.

In the eighth round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Athletic Bilbao at home, Mourinho still let Chu Zhongtian sit in the stands...
