Hazard, who originally insisted on fulfilling the last year of his contract, terminated his contract with Real Madrid in advance, and the Belgian spent a long four years to verify that Ronaldo's successor is not good, in fact, Hazard bid farewell to the Bernabeu with the little-known Mariano, interestingly, after Ronaldo left Real Madrid in 2018, the first person who dared to wear the No. 7 shirt was Mariano, who has dual Spanish and Dominican citizenship.
Mariano, who had the courage to wear the legendary No. 7 shirt, just had an eyeball effect. Since joining Real Madrid in 2018, he has only made 73 appearances in five years from Real Madrid's youth academy, and has only played 155 minutes this season, which is an absolute fringe man, but it "matches" with the report card of 0 goals and 0 assists, and the 2 yellow cards are more eye-catching compared to the 2 yellow cards.
From the age of 25 to 30, Mariano failed to achieve his five-year plan at the Bernabeu, and he was initially defined as Zema's substitute, either sitting on the bench or temporarily playing as a center forward on the training ground.
He was willing to be a substitute, he hid his negative emotions, and was even willing to cut his salary by half in order to reconnect with Real Madrid, and even his agent felt that Mariano was too paranoid. The €4.5 million annual salary given by Real Madrid has Mariano tired of wandering and scrapiness?
In fact, Fenerbahce offered him an annual salary of 5 million euros last year and guaranteed his main position, and former Real Madrid manager Julen Lopetegui also issued an offer to his former disciple when he was in charge of Sevilla, but Mariano resolutely refused.
The relationship between Mariano and Real Madrid has a sense of déjà vu of "I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch". Even though he was born in 1993, he can't even see the taillights of Ronaldo and Benzema, but he doesn't mind repeatedly becoming a laughing stock in public opinion.
In his mental world, it is already a great gift to return to Real Madrid in 2018 - "I don't care if I can play in Real Madrid", not to mention that he has won La Liga, the Champions League, and the Copa del Rey, although the ability to "lie and win" is no less than that of Hazard, but frankly speaking, in a way, Mariano is a winner in life.
Mariano, who has no presence at Real Madrid, is not useless, he once came off the bench in the 19-20 season to score a goal on the bench in the Spanish national derby, which not only helped Real Madrid defeat their arch-rival at the Bernabeu for the first time in six years. It is worth mentioning that he also became the first Barcelona native to score a Barca goal in a national derby in 70 years. Unfortunately, the tearful Mariano did not change his Real Madrid fortunes, but in the moment of shock, his speed and passion were refreshing.
Why did Mariano return to Real Madrid in 2018? At the time, Real Madrid were eager to find a spare tire for the injured Benzema, and the Dominican, who scored 21 goals in a single season in Lyon, was added to the shopping cart, for which he paid a transfer fee of 23 million euros.
In fact, when Real Madrid banished him in 2017, he only charged Lyon a transfer fee of 8 million euros, but it was in line with personal value, you must know that during his first time with Real Madrid, Mariano's most proud work was to complete a hat-trick against León in the Copa del Rey in the 16-17 season, it is worth mentioning that he only scored 5 goals in the first period of white clothes.
From La Liga to Ligue 1, from Ligue 1 to La Liga, in a short period of time that seems to be a cycle, Mariano, who has been tempered, has completed the plot of the reunion of the old people with his skills.
Mariano, who made his first professional debut in a Real Madrid shirt in 2016, is 23 years old, but it is a surprise that he can make 14 appearances throughout the season after being squeezed into playing time in the BBC combination, but compared to his peers Dybala, Romelu Lukaku and Kane, the Dominican "I want to play at Real Madrid all the time" is favorable, and both departures are foreseen.
From Madrid to Lyon, it is not a road that Mariano is willing to take, but he has made a name for himself in Ligue 1 with the label of "abandoned son", perhaps this is the meaning of "people move life". The efficiency of scoring 21 goals in 45 appearances is a turnaround from Real Madrid's self, and at one point he became the Spanish player who scored the most goals in the five major leagues of 2017-18.
Idle goals in the box + a world wave caught off guard outside the box made Lyon experience a scratch the lottery feeling, Marseille and Monaco these hard bones were taken by Mariano, although another big outcast Depay's statistics are more eye-catching, but the Dominicans who followed Zidane's advice have experienced the feeling of new life.
However, at that time, he did not have the luxury of returning to Real Madrid, which did not set a buyback clause in the contract, and began to commemorate his fate with Lyon: "Choosing to join Lyon is the right decision. ”
Unfortunately, there are very few things that come true, and the pride of remembering the past may have driven Mariano's upward heart, but the old and strong Benzema was not casually replaced, even if the French chose to pan for gold in Saudi Arabia, they could not leave Mariano the opportunity to ascend to the throne, watching Rodrigo and Vinicius two imps in charge, the Dominicans who had been briefly placed high hopes by Zidane could only become hurried passers-by.
Banished by Real Madrid for the second time is inevitable, Mariano longs for a real confession, but in fact, his Real Madrid resume does not have a report card, and what is sadder is that he only has to adapt to the status of an outsider in his curtain call, listen to Ancelotti's words: "We want a good farewell, only Mariano can't play." ”
