Chapter 120 Leaving Castilla, Zidane takes office at Real Madrid

When Bai Ran heard this, he was startled. Before he could speak, Zidane turned around and disappeared into the snow.

The snow here is much heavier than that in China, and visibility is very low.

He could only see Zidane's back, which gradually turned into pure white.

Bai Ran's Adam's apple trembled, and a warmth rose in his heart unconsciously.

It was getting late, and Bai Ran was almost done with his training, so he took a taxi back home.

After arriving home, he first took a hot shower. It was too cold in Spain in winter. Then the first thing he did was to take out his mobile phone and contact his agent Alice.

On the other side of the phone, Alice's voice was clear and sweet.

"Bai Ran, what's the matter?"

Bai Ran coughed twice and said, "Alice."

"Help me prepare, I may leave Castile."

What! ?

Alice was a little surprised on the other side of the phone.

Leave Castilla! ?

So sudden?

And hadn't Bai Ran clearly expressed his thoughts to himself before, and he was determined not to transfer in this winter window.

Some Premier League teams even came to discuss with me the issue of transfer contracts, but they were completely rejected by me.

What kind of story is this?

Alice was about to ask about the details and ask Bai Ran if he had any contact with any club!

Is it Tottenham in the Premier League or Hamburg in the Bundesliga? ?

It’s okay to leave, but you have to tell him where he’s going!

As Bai Ran's agent, he hasn't negotiated with the other club yet, so he's leaving now?

That's too hasty!

"Wait a minute! What's going on with you? Where are you going?"

"Hello! Hello?"

At this moment, the phone was suddenly hung up.

She picked up the phone and took a look, her face full of confusion.

What on earth was Bai Ran thinking!

Forget it for now, as his agent, of course I have to do what he wants.

Although the commission is deducted from his salary, he is free to decide where he wants to go, and he cannot make decisions for others.

So Alice sighed and prepared to help Bai Ran do those things.

On the other side, Bai Ran didn't hang up Alice's call, but Mendes's call came in.

Bai Ran was also shocked when she saw that the caller ID was Mendes' number.

After picking up the phone, Bai Ran frowned and asked softly: "Mendez? Do you have anything to do with me?"

Mendes' voice seemed a little excited: "Oh my God! Breaking news! Bai Ran!"

"Do you want to listen?"

Bai Ran said, "Just tell me."

Bai Ran knows everything that will happen in the future of football. As a time traveler, he knows the future direction of each team.

Any other breaking news?

Mendes spoke excitedly: "I just got the news! As far as I know, there is an 80% chance that Zidane will become the new coach of Real Madrid!"

"Maybe there will be an official announcement tomorrow morning!"

Bai Ran was calm and calm, her mood was calm, and she even wanted to laugh a little...

This is something he has known for a long time, so where is the surprise?

"Okay, I get it now."

Mendes noticed that something was wrong with Bai Ran's mood, so he asked, "Huh? What's wrong with you? You don't feel happy!"

"But yes, Zidane's coaching level at Castilla is very good. You must be reluctant to lose such a coach, right?"

Bai Ran showed a mocking expression after hearing this.

When Zidane learned the news, the first person he told was himself.

And he also hinted Bai Ran, subtly and implicitly, to let him join Real Madrid.

Although it is not stated clearly, the meaning is undoubtedly obvious.

Can't bear to part with it?

Mendes knew too little.

Bai Ran smiled. This matter is now just a verbal agreement between Zidane and Bai Ran. After all, it has not been officially announced or even drawn up a decent contract, so it still needs to be kept confidential.

So Bai Ran said: "No, after all, people go to higher places, and going to Real Madrid is Zidane's best choice. Real Madrid is willing to choose to believe in him, which is also recognition of his ability."

"I think it's just a normal thing."

Mendes was speechless. He didn't expect this young player to be so calm. He could be so calm even when the mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his expression. He could become a great player!

"But I'm still a little worried! Bai Ran."

"Look, it's a good thing that Zidane went to Real Madrid, but then your head coach at Castilla will definitely have to be changed."

"Zidane was so good to you, took so good care of you, and was even like a family member to you."

"I'm afraid that after he leaves, your new coach won't be so kind to you."

Although Bai Ran knew in his heart that this was impossible, he still had to pretend to be serious and said, "Probably not. It's just a different coach. Just get used to it."

Mendes lowered his head and thought, now that Zidane has tailored the frontcourt free man tactics for Bai Ran, Bai Ran has adapted very well.

In this system, his offensive talents can be fully utilized.

There are a lot of goals and assists statistics for every game.

He is actually afraid that after Zidane leaves, the new coach will not use this tactic.

Bai Ran cannot guarantee his tactical status in the team, or even his playing time!

In this way, Bai Ran's performance will not be as outstanding as it is now, and his data will not be as exaggerated. When the summer transfer window opens next season... these data will be very useful.

When the People's Club sees this data, it is more useful than anything else!

This is your bargaining chip for transfer negotiations!

At the same time, this is also closely related to the broker.

Bai Ran just smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is going well with me. I'll contact you if there are any changes."

But Mendes didn't give up and still asked:

"You have to think clearly. If Castilla changes coaches, you may not be able to play your current position comfortably, nor may you have the core position in the team now!"

"At that time, this will affect your transfer and career."

Bai Ran obviously dismissed what he said and said, "I will decide my own career. I will contact you if there are any changes."

"I want to rest, bye."

After saying that, Bai Ran hung up the phone.

Of course, you must decide your own future.

Zidane has now given himself this opportunity, and he is still looking forward to the future.

I don’t know if he will reuse himself when he reaches the first team, and whether he can catch up with the glorious era of three consecutive Champions League games.

The next morning, an absolutely explosive news came from the football world!

Enough to shock the entire football world!

Real Madrid officially announced that Zidane will become their next head coach! Pick up the Real Madrid pointer!

La Liga Real Madrid Football Club held a press conference and officially announced: The team's current coach Rafael Benitez will be fired, and former French football superstar Zidane, who once played for Real Madrid, will take over the team!

Finally, Benitez was dismissed.

Just over a month after Florentino publicly supported him.

Diehard fans of Real Madrid should have expected this news!

Even though the chairman of Real Madrid has previously stated that he will continue to support Benitez, in their view, all this is just "recurring yesterday".

Radio Marca, "As" newspaper and the famous Spanish journalist Balague have all confirmed the news, and everything seems to have been settled!

As soon as this news came out, the comment section exploded!

Everyone was stunned by Real Madrid's operation!

"Why does Zidane want to stir up such troubled waters!"

"It should have been changed a long time ago! I wasn't optimistic about Benitez from the beginning!"

"I hope Zidane can lead Real Madrid well."

"Oh my God, this is so explosive! It was announced suddenly, and I was not mentally prepared at all!"

Of course, there are still many doubts about this Real Madrid legend taking charge!

"Zidane has never coached a top-flight team, can he do it?"

"Can a coach who just came from Segunda B adapt to the rhythm of La Liga?"

"It's impossible. He is leading a wealthy family for the first time with no experience at all. I think he will not be able to lead it well."

"It's true that being a good player doesn't necessarily make you a good coach."

After all, Zidane's coaching career resume is somewhat mediocre, and he has not had any coaching experience in a top league so far.

That's not to mention top-level clubs like Real Madrid.

Rely on him to save Real Madrid in crisis? Is this possible?

You know, before Benitez arrived this season, Real Madrid's head coach was Anchettino.

Except for the fact that all four major factors were lost due to objective factors, Real Madrid's cohesion at that stage was actually pretty good.

Whether it is tactical execution, buying and selling of players, or handling relationships in the locker room, Ancelotti has done an excellent job.

Nowadays, fans really don't ask how good Zidane can be. Thank God if he can reach Ancelotti's level.

In short, replacing Benitez is the top priority.

There are also many fans who have been paying attention to Zidane for a long time and think he must be fine. Zidane has such confidence.

"Not necessarily. You can tell by watching the Segunda B league. Castilla led by Zidane has won nearly 20 games so far. What can I say?"

"Actually, he is quite talented. I heard that the team he manages is very good, and he has produced many talented young players."

"Maybe Zidane is really good! I have watched his games before, but the El Clasico that day made me so angry that I ran to watch the Castilla game. That massacre..."

When it comes to that game, many people think of it.

Some people just went to watch the second team's game on a whim and didn't leave much of an impression.

After being reminded by netizens, it completely brought back memories.

ah……

It turns out that the head coach of that game was Zidane!

Speaking of such a thing, many people still have some trust in Zidane.

Even if they don't win a championship this season, it doesn't matter. At least they are better than that trash Benitez.

Results are one thing, but the main thing is to make Real Madrid a team that people can like again. This is the key.

You know, during the period when Benitez was coaching, Real Madrid was losing fans like crazy!

On the other side, inside the Castilla base, training sessions were held as usual.

But today is a special day, and Zidane asked them to wait in the conference room.

Everyone was talking a lot in the morning, discussing why they didn't gather at the training ground today!

"Why is the coach so unusual today and asking us to wait in the conference room?"

"Could it be that there will be another tactical demonstration today?"

I still remember that once before, Zidane gave them a special lesson, a tactical demonstration. The lesson lasted for a whole day, and many players almost fell asleep while watching it.

A voice sounded from the other side.

"Shit, I guess there's going to be an award or something! Didn't you see that the coach hasn't been here these days? Maybe he won some Best Head Coach Award."

What this person said makes sense. After all, Zidane led his team to a 19-game winning streak, which was an unprecedented victory in Segunda B.

But for a mere third-level league, does it need to be so grand?

At this time, Gomez on the side said: "Don't even guess."

"The coach is leaving."

ah?

Everyone looked over, what?

The coach is leaving?

"Where to go?"

"Gomez, do you know the inside story? Tell me!"

Gomez shook his head helplessly: "Don't you guys watch the news when you get up in the morning?"

"Just look at Real Madrid's official account and you will know."

Real Madrid official account...

These people took out their mobile phones to read the news of the day.

Real Madrid issued an official announcement that after Benitez steps down, Zidane will replace him to coach Real Madrid...

Damn it!

These people's hearts skipped a beat, this was so shocking!

It turns out that the reason why the coach hasn’t come to the training ground these days is because of this!

He is going to Real Madrid to teach those stars how to play!

"Oh my God, is it true?"

"It's reliable! It's announced by the official account! It must be true!"

"Oh my god, I'm not ready."

"To be honest, I really can't bear to coach."

After a while, Zidane pushed in the door. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes and looked very smart. He seemed to be in much better condition than usual.

After walking in the door, the eyes of all the players changed when they looked at him.

There was a hint of sadness in the reluctance.

"coach."

Zidane entered the field and everyone nodded and waved hello.

Zidane also smiled and nodded towards them.

"Hello everyone."

"Before the training camp today, I want to announce something to everyone."

Zidane's tone was calm and he seemed to be ready for today.

Rodriguez looked at his hands needlessly, while Hermoso's eyes were a little red.

Gomez on the side looked solemn and stared straight ahead, while Patri sitting next to him crossed his arms thoughtfully.

The substitutes behind were all dumbfounded and had not yet come over from the news just now.

Bai Ran, on the other hand, sat in his seat with a calm expression, waiting for this moment to arrive.

It seems that everyone has their own thoughts about Zidane's upcoming departure.

Zidane cleared his throat and said, "In the near future, I may have to leave here."

"I will go to the Bernabeu and coach Real Madrid."

"To take on this responsibility, I believe it will not be heavier than leading you."

As soon as Zidane said these words, these people all understood. It turned out that the incident that caused a lot of fuss some time ago was finally settled.

It's Zidane who is the head coach of Real Madrid!

Having said this, Zidane continued: "I have a meeting with you today, and I also want to say goodbye to you formally."

"I am very happy during my time at Castilla. Every day I train with everyone is the most precious time in my life."

At this point, Hermoso wiped his nose.

"Is it because our level is not good enough that the coach has to leave?"

Zidane smiled and shook his head: "It has nothing to do with your level."

"Each of you were very young children when you came here. On the training ground, you performed very well."

"No matter how many seasons we have been together, you have always been my best disciples."

"But people always have joys and sorrows, and there is no feast that never ends."

"Real Madrid is in crisis now, and you should know that."

At this point, the players nodded.

Real Madrid has been under the pressure of public opinion for more than a day or two. Real Madrid under the coaching of Benitez is like a mess and has been criticized.

The locker room was also in chaos, and the entire team had no cohesion at all.

There is indeed a lack of a spiritual leader.

Zidane continued: "Real Madrid has been kind to me throughout my playing career."

"Now that he is in trouble, I must bring Real Madrid back."

"At least try my best, I think that's what I should do."

"So, don't doubt your status in my heart, and don't doubt yourself. This is my choice and has nothing to do with you."

As soon as these words came out, the players finally had a solution in mind.

At least it wasn't because they were so bad that Zidane chose to leave.

Some players asked: "Coach, who will coach us after you leave?"

Hearing this question, they all nodded.

Where does Castilla go? This is a very important question!

Zidane said: "I will give you a surprise."

"The candidate to coach you has been decided and is still waiting to be implemented."

"It's a big challenge to go from Di Stefano to the Bernabeu and it's also the first time for me to coach a team in the top flight."

"But fortunately, I am still at Real Madrid. In a sense, I am still with you all the time."

"Although I am about to leave the Bernabeu, I will always pay attention to the performance of each of you. I hope you can show 100% energy to cope with the next games and life."

Zidane spoke eloquently, but how could the players have such courage?

They range from teenagers to around 30 years old, and their age and experience are not as rich as Zidane. Facing the departure of the coach who has shared weal and woe, they are a little sad.

Finally, after Zidane finished speaking, he looked to the corner.

That Asian—Bai Ran!

Zidane said in a deep voice: "There is another news."

"Bai Ran will also leave with me and go to the Bernabeu."
