"Our goal shouldn't be solely focused on the championship."
"I think defeating Barcelona is more important."
"Listen to what he's saying!" Pellegrini returned to his room, expressing his discontent to Francisco.
Real Madrid didn't show an impressive performance in the friendly matches.
There were no big victories, nor were there heavy losses; most of them ended in draws.
Although the season hadn't officially started, many media outlets had already begun to comment on the 300 million euro transfer fee in the summer window, the two Ballon d'Or winners, and Chen Zhong.
At this time, Pellegrini thought of Chen Zhong and invited him over to discuss tactical issues, hoping Chen Zhong could calm the players' emotions.
During the discussion, Chen Zhong said something that Pellegrini couldn't comprehend.
Chen Zhong said that while the championship is certainly important, for Real Madrid, being able to defeat Barcelona is more crucial than anything else.
