Later, Zidane found Bai Ran who was packing his things and asked, "What are the plans for tonight?"
Bai Ran picked up his backpack and said, "I should go home and get some things, and then go back to the base."
"I slept at the base last night and felt pretty good. I have nothing to do today. I went home and brought some things over."
Zidane nodded and said, "Come to my house for dinner tonight. I have a guest coming from afar today. Is it convenient to meet him with me?"
Bai Ran didn't think much about it. He probably had a friend in the football world who could give him some assistance and support. Zidane had specially reserved resources for him, so he nodded and agreed.
Zidane was very kind to Bai Ran, and there was no way he would be called home for dinner if there was nothing serious.
But even if it was just for a homely meal, Bai Ran couldn't go.
So Bai Ran set off immediately and returned to his house first.
I packed various household items into my backpack, then took a taxi back to the base. I decorated the interior of my room and put up a few posters, and then I finished my work.
Zidane also happened to get news and asked Bai Ran where he was now.
"Just finished packing, on the way!"
Bai Ran replied like this, and Zidane sent a message: "Hurry up, the guests have arrived."
Seeing the news, Bai Ran hurriedly got up from the bed and prepared to go to Zidane's villa and mansion.
He was in a pretty good mood along the way. Looking at the white snow outside the window, Bai Ran let out a sigh of relief in the car.
The next competition day will be in February. I think I will stay here for about a year. Looking at the changes in myself, it is really different.
The Chinese boy who was about to be sent home as a substitute from the Castilla youth training turned into the top midfielder at the Bernabeu and shined all over the world.
Bai Ran knew in his heart that this was not an easy task.
Although he does have systematic blessings and will become stronger faster than others, this is also inseparable from Bai Ran's own efforts and dedication.
Under the protection of the injury immunity BUFF, who knows what kind of hell Bai Ran has gone through!
But haven’t you overcome it one step at a time?
Facing his future, Bai Ran is full of expectations. He is only 17 years old now, and there are endless possibilities. I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know what kind of stories will happen in the future.
In the blink of an eye, the driver arrived at the door of Zidane's house. After paying the bill, he got out of the car, came to Zidane's door, and rang the doorbell.
The door was quickly opened, and it was Zidane's wife Veronica who opened the door.
Zidane's home still had the same familiar scene, Veronica and Bai Ran said hello.
"Hi, you're here."
"Come in and sit down, I'm waiting for you."
Bai Ran also nodded and walked into the door.
But the moment he entered the living room, he was stunned for a moment!
He was shocked to see that besides Zidane and his son sitting on the sofa in the living room, there was also a familiar face!
That is……
It was the legendary figure I met on the training ground today - Ronaldo!
Then everything makes sense!
No wonder Ronaldo came to return to Real Madrid's base. It turned out to be to find Zidane!
These two people have a very good personal relationship. They have been teammates in the club for several years and have a very strong relationship!
Moreover, with a forward and a midfielder, it is easy to produce a chemical reaction.
These two people can be said to be equally matched, whether in terms of ability, strength, or historical status.
Judging from the data alone, Ronaldo is definitely better than Zidane, but after all, Zidane is a midfielder, and Ronaldo still has some advantages as an all-around forward.
This striker who was once known as the "alien" is now a little fat. The long-term lack of exercise and the indulgent private life have made him a little fatter.
The two had been teammates and opponents in their player days. The 2006 World Cup in Germany was one of the more classic of all the previous World Cups. In the quarter-finals of that tournament, the Brazilian team and the French team met on a narrow road. The two teams met again after the 1998 final.
This is also a head-to-head confrontation between Zidane and Ronaldo!
As a result of this game, France finally defeated Brazil. After being eliminated, Ronaldinho also publicly expressed his apology to the fans, and he was not shy about praising Zidane.
"Zidane's performance in Germany proved that football has no age limit and his performance was a joy to watch."
The story ends here. Later, Zidane announced his retirement in 2006, Ronaldo also sent his sincere blessings, and their time as teammates came to an end.
But their private interactions have continued.
Zidane once said this to the media.
"What Ronaldo can do, I can't do!"
Ronaldo was later asked by reporters about Zidane and responded.
"Zidane? I'm afraid I can't do his Marseille slalom either!"
These two superstars shined with each other, each performed his own duties, and created many classic moments at the Bernabeu. Heroes cherished each other, and neither of them felt superior to the other.
Zidane got married early, while Ronaldo was a prodigal son when he was young. The two old friends belong to the kind of relationship that although they rarely meet in normal times, they always maintain a tacit understanding.
Zidane once said: "Every time we meet, we try not to talk too much about football."
At this moment, the two of them got together, but this time Bai Ran joined them.
After seeing Bai Ran, Ronaldo was also slightly startled.
"Hey, hello, you must be Bai Ran. I heard Zidane talk about you."
Bai Ran nodded and said, "Hello, Ronaldo."
Zidane stood up, invited Bai Ran in, and said with a smile, "You're here."
After settling Bai Ran on the sofa, Zidane grinned and said, "This is the Bai Ran I always mentioned to you. You probably don't know him yet, but I think you will have a very good impression of him soon." profound!"
Ronaldo crossed his legs, relaxed his hands on his body, and said calmly: "I have seen him."
"Have you seen it?"
Zidane looked at Bai Ran suspiciously, when did it happen?
Bai Ran also smiled in relief, Ronaldo was really right.
"Indeed, I saw Ronaldo on the training ground that day. I was shocked at the time and thought I had seen him wrong."
Ronaldo nodded and affirmed Bai Ran.
"This kid is really good. You know, very early before your training camp, I had breakfast and went to take a walk, and I saw this kid carrying his bag to the training ground to warm up by himself."
"He seems to be a very hard-working kid."
Bai Ran was neither humble nor arrogant, and showed a smile. His efforts were recognized, which was naturally a happy thing.
Zidane slapped the back of his hand: "Yes!"
"Do you know why I fell in love with him at first glance when I was in the Castilla youth training! It's because when they usually train, Bai Ran is often the first to arrive, and in the evening they have finished training, and Bai Ran is still working hard. practice!"
"And I watched their training matches, and I was stunned by his talent and performance. For a kid like this, what reason is there not to give him a chance to play in the professional league?"
"The most valuable thing is actually-persistence!"
"You can train extra in one day, and many people can train extra in a week, but few people can treat training as a kind of fun like Bai Ran!"
This is indeed the case, and Zidane can also see that it is understandable that the team members go out to relax and have fun during their holidays, but Bai Ran just trains silently, as if this has become his hobby!
"I'm telling you, this is the future of Real Madrid!"
After listening to what Zidane said before, Ronaldo thought Bai Ran was a good prospect, but when he heard this, his pupils trembled!
These words... don't look like they came from Zidane's mouth!
He has always been a very rigorous person, and there was even a time when Ronaldo felt that Zidane was a pervert. Whether in his playing career or coaching career, he was meticulous in everything he did and could not tolerate any mistakes.
But as soon as he said these words, he was immediately startled.
The future of Real Madrid! ?
This evaluation is too high!
I have never seen Zidane praise a player like this, not even himself...
Is it possible that this Asian boy is really that evil?
Although he has never seen his game, Ronaldo still finds it hard to believe that Asia can produce such a strong player and he is only 17 years old.
Unknowingly, Veronica had almost cooked the meal, and a table of sumptuous food was waiting for everyone to enjoy.
Several people got to the table and started eating dinner.
This was not the first time Bai Ran had dinner at Zidane's house. The relationship between the two was very close, and there was nothing to be restrained about. Their usual chats were relatively casual, and there was no feeling of tension at all.
It seems that Ronaldo is the only guest here.
At the dinner table, Zidane and Ronaldo were still chatting endlessly about Bai Ran's deeds.
"Once I asked him to go to the Bernabeu to be a ball boy and see how Real Madrid players play."
"Bai Ran was still in Castilla at that time. Guess what happened?"
"The goal that Real Madrid scored in stoppage time in that game was still attributed to Bai Ran!"
"Oh! It's true!" Ronaldo seemed to be in disbelief. Every time he looked at Bai Ran, he was filled with shock!
"Also, last time Raul came over and gave Bai Ran a few days of special training. As a result, in the next game, Bai Ran's running level improved by a whole level. He made all kinds of mysterious movements and finally defeated Bai Ran by a big score. opponent."
"And his free kicks are also excellent. So far... he seems to have scored more than a dozen!"
"Of course, those from the Spanish Second Division B are also included."
Ronaldo was shocked again, scoring more than a dozen free kicks in more than half a season?
What kind of monster is this!
For ordinary stars, not to mention ordinary players, just talking about the ranks of stars, scoring ten free kicks in a year is already very scary.
He scored a dozen goals in half a season?
Is it so exaggerated?
Even after listening to it, it seems a little unreal!
Bai Ran chuckled, waved his hand, and said modestly: "Oh, it's just good luck."
Ronaldo's face was filled with fear, are you sure?
If you score more than a dozen free kicks in half a season, you are really lucky.
However, people in Asia are more modest and reserved. It's normal for Bai Ran to say this, but his strength is already in front of everyone. Who doesn't know how invincible this kid's footwork is?
Zidane continued: "His passing is also outstanding. He can pass the ball to you from all kinds of tricky angles and positions, and he is very accurate. His teammates are very comfortable receiving the ball."
Ronaldo joked at this time: "How about comparing with you?"
Originally he was just joking. In his impression, compared with Zidane, a child as old as Bai Ran is a fantasy and not on the same level at all.
His purpose in saying this was actually to embarrass Zidane.
You have praised him so much, how about comparing him to you?
There is no way this kid is worse than Zidane, but if he says he is not as good as him, it would seem that what Zidane said before is a bit exaggerated.
But at this moment, Zidane paused, and after some thought, he blurted out!
"Um……"
"If we just talk about passing the ball, I'm really not as good as Bai Ran."
"What I'm saying is that I am not as good as him at any time."
What! ?
Ronaldo's scalp suddenly became numb and goosebumps appeared all over his body. There was a hint of a monster in his eyes when he looked at Bai Ran!
What a joke! Can this kid's passing be at this level?
Even Zidane is ashamed of himself?
And he said, it’s Zidane at any time! The passing of Zidane at his peak is not as good as this kid!
Oh my god... Ronaldo couldn't dare to think about it anymore. This is a horror story!
If this is really the case, this kid will definitely be the number one player in football in the future! There is no dispute!
"Is it true? Bai Ran, Zidane thinks so highly of you, I can't believe it!"
Bai Ran chuckled, and there was a hint of determination in his eyebrows. His domineering attitude even shocked Ronaldo.
"It's normal to not believe it. Come to the Bernabeu later and watch my game, and you'll understand."
Bai Ran was so confident and her words were astonishing.
Zidane has become accustomed to it. Although this kid Bai Ran is usually relatively low-key and introverted, not the kind who is too noisy and loves to play, the proud temperament and domineering spirit of others are still there in his bones.
It can be seen from Castilla's daily life that Bai Ran will always take out the problems in the team and study them carefully, always wanting to be the backbone of the entire team.
At first, Zidane thought this was a small team with little outstanding strength. As a top talent, Bai Ran only did this to reduce the dimensionality of the team.
But he was wrong.
After coming to Real Madrid, Bai Ran was still like that. Any problem that occurred in the team's game, he wanted to be alone. For example, when playing against Real Betis that day, when Real Madrid couldn't attack for a long time, it was Bai Ran. Be the first to stand up and break the deadlock for Real Madrid.
Then Zidane replaced Bai Ran, and it could be seen that Bai Ran was slightly dissatisfied and looked very worried while sitting on the bench.
Sure enough, the opponent scored a goal to equalize the score in the second half.
Fortunately, Real Madrid scored again at the last minute and the team finally won. Otherwise, this substitution would really be Zidane's first failure in coaching Real Madrid.
At the dinner table, Zidane continued to praise Bai Ran. Ronaldo was stunned for a while, his understanding of Bai Ran rising to a higher level every time.
It feels like this kid has been blown away by Zidane. It seems that he really needs to take the time to come to the Bernabeu to watch a game!
Is it really that strong?
A few people gathered together and had a good meal. Ronaldo lit a cigarette. Zidane suddenly thought of something.
Since Ronaldo is here, why not let him teach Bai Ran football skills?
After all, Bai Ran also watches Ronaldo's games, doesn't he?
He still remembered that Bai Ran was very skilled in using the pendulum to pass people over!
In previous games, Zidane had seen Bai Ran use the pendulum to pass the opponent's goalkeeper and succeed in the empty goal.
I am very impressed by this goal. When Real Madrid played against Deportivo La Coruna, Bai Ran came on as a substitute and performed this trick to score.
At that time, it was Bai Ran's first official game on behalf of Real Madrid, and it was also his first game after taking office.
At that time, Zidane felt that Bai Ran's back looked very much like Ronaldo when he was doing the pendulum dribble, and he happened to be present today!
So Zidane said: "Bai Ran, meeting Ronaldo is not easy."
"How about learning some skills from him, which will help you perform better when playing football in the future."
Bai Ran accepted it happily and nodded: "Okay, I wish I could have it."
Bai Ran would be happy to accept anything that could improve him.
This is one of the reasons why Bai Ran can grow so fast.
After hearing this, Ronaldo also became energetic.
"Okay! I just like kids like you who are eager to learn!"
"I'm also willing to teach you. Zidane spoke so well of you just now. I can't wait to see if you are that good!"
When Zidane saw it, didn't he think that he had brought this matter together?
So he said: "That's great. There is a turf training field in our backyard, which is not much different from a football field. Let's go there to take a rest and have a look. How about it!"
At this time, the system prompt suddenly appeared in Bai Ran's mind.
【Ding! 】
【Task Tips! 】
[Learn skills from Ronaldo, achieve breakthroughs and gain recognition from Ronaldo]
[Reward: Fluctuates with Ronaldo’s recognition]
Bai Ran took it decisively. He already had Ronaldo's template card, and it also came with an extraordinary skill card. He must have been able to complete this task well.
Both of them nodded in agreement. This proposal was great. Ronaldo taught him personally. If he could gain something, it would be considered a worthwhile trip.
A few people rested for a while, and after about half an hour, they got up and came to the large open space in the backyard of Zidane's house.
Zidane also deliberately took out a new football from home, pumped it up, and threw it to Bai Ran.
"Here, I'm the defensive player now."
"Try to get past me with your pendulum!"
