Bai Ran knew in his heart that now was the beginning of 2016, and the same person from China was still leading the national team.
In his previous life, the national team led by this coach performed very poorly in the Asian Cup, and even fell into a match-fixing scandal. Although he survived in the end, it is probably not all clean.
Under such circumstances, there must be no way out for Bai Ran to return to play football in China and he can only become a pawn and victim.
After all, in this era, a thorough investigation has not yet happened, and the water there is still very deep.
Going back is definitely not a wise choice.
Bai Ran also wants to wear the stars and red flag and play for the country, but under such circumstances, is it really worth throwing his life and blood for someone who is passionate about football?
I think the answer is already obvious!
Not worthy, not worthy!
Bai Ran finally got a great opportunity to be reborn, and he put in a lot of hard work and sweat to get to where he is today.
Just let them take it away and spend it freely?
impossible!
Bai Ran said, "What did they say?"
Mother's voice came again.
"Director Gao told us that we will give you a contract with good benefits."
"Because you have already become famous in Spain, your domestic reputation is very high, and your strength and talent are obvious to all, so if you are allowed to develop domestically, they will also do their best to train you and make you the core of the national team in the future."
"And...you didn't think about developing there when you first went there, right? Now there's an opportunity, so it's time to come back."
"Would you like to think about it?"
Bai Ran's mother was actually right. From the very beginning when Bai Ran went to Madrid, Spain, he planned to go abroad for gold-plating, and then be thrown out of Castilla's youth training.
After all, with his initial strength, no youth training team in China, let alone Real Madrid, would want him!
Thanks to the fact that Bai Ran's family is rich and powerful, he spent a huge amount of money on sponsorships despite having a hard relationship, and made a promise to the Castilla youth training team that if the target is not reached within a few months, he will immediately Let Bai Ran go.
Only then did the other party grit his teeth and nod in agreement.
It's enough to have such a name from Real Madrid's youth training when I return to China.
There are people who can walk sideways in China.
As for Castilla, their coaching staff shook their heads and thought, just treat it like traveling with a Chinese! At worst, I'll put him back after a while, they gave him too much!
Moreover, Real Madrid does not need such a useless player. Even if he relies on connections and money, he will not be able to stay here for a long time without such a high level and strength.
By then it will be none of their business, just wish yourself well.
But I never expected that the fate of time and space would be intertwined, and the gears of fate would begin to turn at this moment...
The appearance of Zidane broke all original plans!
And just in time Bai Ran has changed from civet cat to prince, and he is not the same Bai Ran as before!
His hard-working attitude and rare football talent were all impressed by the famous coach, who directly transferred him to Castilla and was reused!
Even now, Bai Ran has stepped forward to join the galactic battleship of Real Madrid's first team.
Everything happened so suddenly and unreasonably!
Bai Ran's parents were also a little confused. Didn't they say they would send it back in a few months?
But who could not hope that his son would become a successful person? Since Bai Ran was developing well, he didn't ask any more questions.
Nowadays, Bai Ran can be regarded as living out of the circle. He is popular all over the country and has become a popular young star.
In this way, the head coach of the national team, Director Gao, came forward personally and wanted to summon Bai Ran back to the country.
Whether it is the strength of the national team or the commercial value, Bai Ran is very important and very powerful.
And in 2016, the core of the national team's midfield was Zheng Zhi. At that time, Zheng Zhi was already old and showing signs of fatigue, and needed fresh blood to inject into China's national team.
At this moment, Bai Ran was born!
It was a big success at Real Madrid, and the news spread back to China, causing a nationwide sensation!
Of course, it also alarmed the Chinese Football Association.
Only then did Director Gao personally visit Bai Ran's house and visit his mother.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ran blurted out and answered resolutely!
"Mom, I'm fine here."
"When the season is over and the holidays begin, I will take the time to go back to China to see you."
"I won't accept anything related to the national team."
ah……
Bai Ran's mother also sighed lightly when she heard his attitude. The child didn't know what he was thinking. What an honor it is to serve the country!
Why refuse?
Little did she know that in the years to come, the situation would slowly get better after the state's strict investigation.
During this period of time, ordinary people have no way to gain a foothold. Going back will only destroy their careers and become their tools.
Hearing Bai Ran's response, her mother could only say helplessly: "Well, no matter what, the family respects your decision."
"I hope you will develop well there!"
Bai Ran was very relieved that her family would not interfere with anything she did.
"Okay, also, if you are called up by the national team in the future, please help me refuse them all. I will not consider going back to join the national team within a few years."
If they want to die, let them die on their own.
Bai Ran would never accompany them through this muddy water.
The mother's answer on the other side was also very straightforward, and then the call was hung up, and Bai Ran let out a sigh of relief.
For your dreams and goals in this life, you must be focused.
You can’t even go back to your country!
Bai Ran had experienced the environment there firsthand, and it would definitely destroy his future.
Firming this belief, Bai Ran went to wash up, then lay on the bed and fell asleep.
On the day after the match day, Zidane gave everyone a holiday. Bai Ran discovered one thing. The top clubs actually had more holidays than lower-tier teams.
Because the strength of the players in their team is already there, and their talents are some of the best in the world. The training is just to keep them in competitive shape.
Improving skills is already very difficult, but everyone's technical characteristics are different, so just doing some special exercises is enough.
A week later, Real Madrid is about to usher in a focus game.
In the 20th round of the Spanish Primera Division, Real Madrid faced the newly promoted Sporting Gijon at the Bernabeu at home!
Bai Ran still remembered that during Benitez's time, Real Madrid was tied with this newly promoted team this season, which became a shame at the Bernabeu.
This time, Real Madrid must win it back.
This is a revenge war!
Although Bai Ran's status in Real Madrid is not that high, and he may not play in the game, he goes all out in training every day and is always ready for the day when the team needs him.
In the next few days, Bai Ran also received a very surprising news.
That is the old teammate who originally fought with Castilla - Vazquez was also promoted to Real Madrid!
Bai Ran actually remembered that in the previous life, the timeline was not like this.
Vazquez is indeed a star of Real Madrid, but in the original world, Vazquez was loaned to Espanyol by Real Madrid B team Castilla in 2014.
It wasn't until 2015 that Real Madrid repurchased this all-around player for one million euros.
It seems that Bai Ran's arrival has really affected many of the original stories, and history has also undergone tremendous changes.
Vazquez did not go to Espanyol at all in this world, but followed his own footsteps and went directly from Castilla to Real Madrid.
After arriving at Real Madrid, Vazquez seemed a little panicked, but he still took him to get to know everyone, and then they became one with them.
Vazquez would often ask in surprise: "Bai Ran, didn't you just come here a few days before me? How come you are so familiar with them!?"
Bai Ran lowered his head and thought for a moment, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
Could it be that he really has such a strong personality?
Let these Real Madrid stars naturally like themselves and accept themselves?
Facing Vazquez's question, Bai Ran could only spread his hands and express his helplessness.
"Play well. As long as you are strong, you will win everyone's respect."
The answer he gave is indeed correct, but it is not entirely correct.
After Bai Ran came to Real Madrid, his performance as a substitute with one goal and one assist was deeply imprinted in the hearts of Real Madrid generals. They recognized that this child had a promising future, a bright future, and very strong strength.
Besides, this is a very rare Asian. He is not familiar with the place here, so he is given more care, which is natural for teammates.
Bai Ran's relationship with Zidane is also a very critical point.
Over the past few days, they have gradually come to know that Zidane and Bai Ran have an unusual relationship. They can be said to be Zidane's inner disciples. With Zidane protecting them, they must have a good relationship with Bai Ran, otherwise If you offend the head coach, the consequences will be serious.
Forget it if it's the fat guy Benitez, no one will take care of his feelings, but this is Zidane!
Not only is his level a level higher than that of Benitez, his leadership ability in the locker room is also extraordinary.
And unlike other clubs, this is Real Madrid, and the name Zidane is already very intimidating.
Of course, Real Madrid has also prepared a private room for Vazquez, and the treatment is the same, but now that Vazquez has integrated into Real Madrid's star-studded locker room, he must be under the leadership of Bai Ran, otherwise he will be easily excluded. , it’s hard to feel a sense of belonging.
Time flies, and soon the game day comes.
Bai Ran shined in Real Madrid's match against Deportivo La Coruña. He made a perfect debut as a substitute and scored a goal, so he was still included in the squad for this game and was firmly on the bench.
The fans also have a very loud voice for Bai Ran, because Bai Ran was bound to Zidane. Now that Benitez is gone, everyone hopes that this Real Madrid can break out again in the hands of Zidane. .
Naturally, Bai Ran also became the center of attention.
The fans' voices were very loud, and some even said that Bai Ran should be the main force!
"Bai Ran and Zidane will definitely change Real Madrid! We already saw the signs in the last game!"
"This kid has a bright future, I'm optimistic about him."
"He should be allowed to start! Zidane really doesn't dare to use people. If I had arranged for Bai Ran to start!"
"I hope this pair of masters and apprentices can help Real Madrid reverse its decline and continue to be great!"
Various media outlets were also very active before the start of the game, finding many Real Madrid fans and even members of the coaching staff for interviews.
There are also many contributors who have expressed their opinions and are full of expectations for Bai Ran.
"I personally think Bai Ran is a player who will dominate La Liga's midfield for the next ten years."
"Bai Ran is a terrifying existence. Anyone who has watched his previous games should know it. I think as long as he is allowed to play, he can create opportunities!"
"I'm also looking forward to Bai Ran's appearance in this pizza. The last time Real Madrid was tied by Sporting Gijon, today we want to avenge the shame. Bai Ran is a born murderer. I believe Zidane will not use it."
"This kid from the Castilla youth training team may become a core member of the Galaxy Battleship!"
This news was widely known before the game, and the tickets for this game were also sold very well.
They all want to see how Real Madrid has changed since Zidane arrived.
I also want to see what kind of magical power the Chinese young player who is currently being speculated about has.
The lights of the Bernabeu are bright, shining on the faces of every fan who comes here.
The commentator in the studio has also started broadcasting live, bringing this unique event to all fans.
Today's Bernabeu attendance rate is also very high, almost the same as Zidane's first game. Real Madrid fans are enthusiastic and very satisfied with this coaching change.
The famous Spanish commentator organized the information, adjusted his status, and started live broadcast.
"Hello, viewers, what we are bringing to you now is a focus game in the 20th round of La Liga in the 2015-16 season, between Real Madrid and Sporting Gijon at home."
"Before this, Real Madrid was also tied by this newly promoted team, but now their coach is the legendary star Zidane. Let's see if they can win these three points."
“Real Madrid is currently very competitive in La Liga. In the La Liga standings, Real Madrid ranks third with 12 wins, 4 draws, 3 losses and 40 points in 19 rounds, while Sporting Gijon has 4 wins, 3 draws and 11 points. Lost, scored 15 points, and currently ranked 18th.”
"Real Madrid and Sporting Gijon have met 83 times in the history of the league. Real Madrid has 46 wins, 24 draws, and only 13 losses to Sporting Gijon. This record shows that they still have an advantage."
"It is a coincidence that the first opening game of this league was the match between Sporting Gijon and Real Madrid. At that time, Real Madrid's coach was still Benitez."
At this point, the fans cheered.
Indeed, as the commentator said, Benitez's previous record was somewhat unsightly. After he left, Zidane's arrival obviously revitalized this Real Madrid team.
They had seen an interview with Zidane before. He said that Ronaldo was the soul of Real Madrid. Just as he said, on the court, Zidane also obviously placed Ronaldo in an indelible position in his tactics. A striker with unlimited firepower.
Ronaldo has also solemnly stated before that he will repay the coach's trust with goals. This Real Madrid is on the right track.
Then, the commentator began to introduce the lineups of both sides of the game.
"Okay, we can see that Zidane still brought us a 433 formation today. The starting players are goalkeeper Navas, the double midfielders are French international Varane and Pepe from Portugal, and the full-backs are Brazilian Marcelo and Carvajal, who came from Real Madrid’s local youth academy.”
"At the front, it is still led by Ronaldo, partnered by Benzema and Bale to form a trident. In the midfield, Modric is in charge, as well as Toni Kroos and Isco."
At this time, there was a name on the list that made the commentator's eyes light up.
"Oh! Bai Ran, the Asian who came on as a substitute in the last game, is also in Zidane's substitute lineup today. This player used to play for Real Madrid's B team and was later promoted to Real Madrid with Zidane. He is a very talented player. young players!”
"After the last game, everyone paid great attention to him. I wonder if there will be a chance to appear on stage again today!"
Then, the commentator began to introduce the players of Sporting Gijon. After the introduction, the game was about to begin and officially began.
The Real Madrid anthem played at the Bernabeu, and Real Madrid fans applauded to show support for the players. Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema also responded to the fans with applause.
Bai Ran was sitting on the bench nearby, waiting for help at any time.
The return of legendary star Zizou made the disharmony within the Real Madrid team disappear, and the team achieved unprecedented unity.
The referee blew his whistle and Real Madrid took the lead!
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid launched a series of attacks against Sporting Gijon. The quality was very good, and every attack was extremely threatening.
It seems that Zidane's tactical adjustments are very reasonable. Targeted changes are made according to the weaknesses and strengths of each opponent. This is the ultimate path of a great head coach, rather than applying a template to play all games.
The opponent set up an iron barrel formation, with 5 defenders and double midfielders making Real Madrid's offense a bit tricky.
After Ronaldo held the ball, he handed it to the midfielder. Modric opened up the space and handed it back to Ronaldo. Ronaldo threw away the defender from the outside of the penalty area and shot!
The ball was saved by the goalkeeper. It was a near miss!
On the other side, Benzema dribbled the ball into the penalty area and passed it to Bell who stepped in from the wing. Bell kicked the ball and passed the ball. The penalty area was too chaotic and it was difficult to hit the ball!
Faced with the opponent's bus tactics, Real Madrid instantly seemed helpless.
Sporting Gijon is really a tough nut to crack!
The previous game was tied 0-0, and the opponent used this routine. It seems that they still want to repeat the same trick.
Their defense is tight and tight. Unless you look for opportunities with long shots or crosses, the ball will never enter the penalty area.
Suddenly, the situation on the field began to become anxious...
