Chapter 153 Madrid Derby!
According to Bai Ran's understanding of the schedule, Real Madrid will host Atletico Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on February 28, the last day of February 2016!
Atletico Madrid's performance this season is very impressive, and Griezmann has become Atletico Madrid's strongest winger.
And among their lineup, there are naturally many familiar stars like Fernando Torres, Saul, and Koke.
Bai Ran also knows that it is now 2016. At that time, Atletico Madrid was full of stars. Juanfran, Godin, and Felipe Luis were still in front of Atletico Madrid's goal as defenders, firmly holding the goal.
Even though they have been humiliated by Barcelona this season, it is because Barcelona's dominance is too strong, and it does not mean how weak this Atletico Madrid team is.
The task against Atletico Madrid is the most likely to be interrupted. This is a traditionally strong team in Spain!
If I don't perform well in this game and don't score three times, I guess this task will have to be calculated from scratch.
But fortunately, Real Madrid is playing at home in this round. With their familiarity with the venue and the support of the fans, Real Madrid still has the advantage.
Bai Ran also knew that he shouldn't put too much psychological pressure on himself before the competition. He just told himself to do his best.
If we can complete the task and defeat Atletico, everyone will be happy.
But if it's just a small victory over Atletico Madrid and he doesn't score three goals, it won't be a big loss. The worst he can do is start over.
Bai Ran knew the Atletico Madrid team very well. Before the match day, Bai Ran also checked some information.
This team's stealing ability is very strong, especially their back line, which is in its prime and in good condition. It is also the golden age of players. The iron wall formed by them cannot be torn apart so easily.
Their ability to compete for high-altitude balls is also outstanding. Data from previous games showed that they rarely conceded goals in the opponent's set kicks because their defense and control capabilities are still very impressive.
However, on the offensive line, Atletico Madrid's advantage lies in long-range shots. Carrasco, Koke, Griezmann, and Saul cannot be said to be all long-range shot masters, but at least almost all of them have long-range shots. Ability.
Maybe an individual person may not be able to shoot with high quality, but when the opportunity arises, he will not be afraid to take action!
Atletico Madrid also scores a lot of long-range shots!
But Bai Ran discovered a problem. When Atletico Madrid faces players with outstanding personal abilities, they are often helpless!
They are good at teamwork and not good at marking a single prominent point on the field.
This characteristic makes Bai Ran very happy. On the court, he is such a hot spot!
And unlike the hot spots on the wing, his position and tactics are explosive for the whole field...
On the eve of the game, Bai Ran went to the training ground to participate in training as usual in the morning. He passed by the entrance of Real Madrid's base on the way and randomly picked up a newspaper from Baoting.
On it, Bai Ran saw a message——
That's a report from World Sports News!
It was written clearly: "Atletico Madrid's iron-blooded defense shows a tough guy style. Real Madrid's talented midfielder may not be able to defeat the sheet army!"
oh?
Game preview?
Bai Ran was very interested, but after seeing the title, he felt a little unhappy.
Did this media receive money from Atletico Madrid?
Why do you talk about yourself like this!
If the guess is correct, the "Real Madrid genius midfielder" must be Bai Ran, but the media actually speculated that he could not break Atletico Madrid's defense in this game. Where did this come from!
When Bai Ran saw the report of this article, the content was probably:
"Bai Ran is not good at physical collisions and technical escapes at the feet. However, Atletico Madrid's defensive ability is extremely strong, the playing style is tough, and the average physical fitness is strong. Bai Ran's previous performance momentum may be terminated in this game."
"Furthermore, according to statistics, Bai Ran used to pass threatening balls very frequently as a Real Madrid midfielder, but most of them were high-altitude balls. Atletico Madrid is quite accomplished in defending high-altitude balls, and their average height is very impressive!"
"There is another situation. Although Bai Ran has just won the European Golden Boy, he will definitely not adapt to such a defensive team."
"Combining the above factors, we predict that Real Madrid will draw with Atletico Madrid in this game, or even lose by a small goal."
"The reason ultimately lies in Atletico Madrid's restrictions and restraint on Bai Ran. With this relationship, Real Madrid is destined to have a difficult game."
Snapped!
Bai Ran closed the newspaper, what he said was nonsense!
Some so-called "experts" deceive those who placed bets into investing money in order to gain attention. What nonsense!
When Bai Ran saw the newspaper news, he didn't take it to heart, but had an idea in his mind.
A firm thought.
In this game, he must perform well and let the fans see whether he, the golden boy of Europe, can tear through Atletico Madrid's defense!
Outside the Bernabeu Stadium.
The place is already overcrowded. This game is the pinnacle of La Liga. You can imagine how intense the competition between the strong is!
Countless fans came to the scene, and those who couldn't get tickets were blocked outside the Bernabeu gate, just wanting to see their favorite stars in person!
Many media also appeared here with cameras, ready to record the preparations of these star players before the game.
Seeing Bai Ran arrive, someone shouted: "Bai Ran! Bai Ran is here!"
Everyone rushes forward and surrounds Bai Ran!
"Oh my god, it's really Bai Ran!"
The reporters all took the microphones and cameras in their hands and asked Bai Ran crazy questions!
"Hello Bai Ran! Are you confident in this game?"
"What does it mean to you to be the latest European Golden Boy?"
"Mr. Bai Ran, wait a minute. I have a few questions from fans here. Could you please answer them?"
Bai Ran ignored these reporters and continued walking towards the Bernabeu gate with his backpack on his back and his pockets.
And further inside, there are some fanatical fans.
"Bai Ran! Come on Bai Ran! Beat Atletico Madrid at home!"
"I'm your die-hard fan! Bai Ran, can you sign your autograph for me?"
Bai Ran has an indifferent attitude towards the media, but when it comes to his fans, Bai Ran can't be cruel!
These fans still love Bai Ran deeply, just as Bai Ran also loves these fans. What he said at the award ceremony was not just a show of words, but really from the bottom of his heart. Without the support of the fans, he would not be able to leave. To this day!
So Bai Ran took as many fans' pens as possible and signed the jerseys and footballs they handed over.
At this time, a crazy female fan squeezed out of the crowd, walking in a hurry and looking very embarrassed.
But it is not difficult to see that the girl has blond hair and blue eyes, and a very charming face. She is an out-and-out beauty!
And while she was running, it was hard not to notice the turbulent waves on her chest... it was so surging.
Bai Ran couldn't help but be shocked!
The girl came up to Bai Ran, looking very excited!
"Bai Ran! I like you so much, can you sign your name for me?"
Facing such enthusiastic fans, Bai Ran nodded, smiled politely, and took the pen from the female fan's hand.
At this time, the female fan pushed her hair to the back of her neck, puffed up her towering breasts, and her proud size suddenly appeared in front of her eyes!
Facing this situation, Bai Ran was inevitably stunned for a moment.
"Um?"
"Isn't it a signature? Where to sign it?"
"Didn't you prepare a jersey or a football?"
The female fan was not polite, she had an intriguing and ambiguous smile on her lips, she straightened up her scary brows, and said, "Sign here!"
"I like you so much, I'm your number one fan!"
"You sign here for me, and I'll tattoo your handwriting on it when I get back!"
Ah this...
Bai Ran looked at the waves that undulated with the girl's breathing, swallowed her saliva, and inevitably blushed...
This is not good!
At this moment, a large group of fans nearby began to boo.
"oh!!!"
"Sign! Sign! Sign!"
"Bai Ran acts like a man, we can't be scared by a little girl like her!"
"Why are you so polite? Just grab me and write!"
"No, let me do it! Hahahaha!"
Bai Ran's face darkened, and the people around him started making noises. It wouldn't be good if he refused to sign autographs from fans.
So he pursed his lips, grabbed the girl's arm, and quickly wrote the word "Bai Ran" on her arm.
"Tattooing here is more suitable for you."
Bai Ran patted the girl's shoulder, returned the pen to her, then walked away and walked into the Bernabeu.
Although the signature was not in the position she wanted, the physical contact with Bai Ran still made her feel like she was electrocuted!
This is Europe's golden boy Bai Ran! Real Madrid's talented youngster!
And he looks so handsome!
What an honor! This girl must be so happy that she almost faints!
After entering the Bernabeu training ground, the players were lining up for routine physical examinations.
This is actually a part of every game. In order to test their game status, the team doctor specially evaluates and tests their physical status.
In order to ensure that players enter the game with a healthy body, so as not to play before recovering from injury, leading to more serious consequences.
In the end, all members of Real Madrid passed the test, except Bell.
The team doctor detected that his muscles were a little tense and his condition was not very good. The best time to play is within 45 minutes. If it is longer, it will easily cause muscle damage.
This is the test report submitted by Real Madrid's team doctor to Zidane.
Zidane took a brief look, nodded and went to the locker room.
In the players' locker room, all the players have already begun to prepare for the next game.
Ronaldo was doing stretching exercises on the side, Ramos shook his cervical spine and made a clicking sound, while Modric was discussing defensive skills and the technical characteristics of the opponent's players with Carvajal beside him. Bai Ran Marcelo and Marcelo are also discussing some unexpected set-piece tactics.
"Ahem."
Zidane coughed twice after entering the door, and everyone fell silent.
His leadership and status in the team are still there. If it were Benitez, no one would pay attention to him at all.
At this time, all the Real Madrid players looked over attentively.
"Tell everyone about today's tactics."
There was still a long time before the start of the game. Zidane specially asked everyone to gather in advance so that he could teach them a temporary lesson so that the players could fully understand their own ideas and use their own tactical thinking to implement them firmly.
"Our team will use a 442 formation for this game."
The players were listening intently to Zidane's speech.
Zidane continued: "Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, partner as a striker."
"Cristiano Ronaldo plays the role of a sudden forward, making full use of your speed and physical advantages to open up enough space and create threatening opportunities."
"Benzema, you have to play the role of an all-around forward in this game, support Ronaldo, pass the ball more, rely more on your body to solve problems. When necessary, you have to drop back to provide support. When the opportunity is good, In this case, you can also try to shoot.”
Due to the characteristics of Ronaldo's position, as a forward striker, he does not need to retreat to defend or respond, so this task naturally falls on Benzema.
It is also possible that Benzema's title of scapegoat was born from this time.
"Asensio on the right, Isco on the left."
"The way I play this lineup is to free up the two wingers, but my purpose is definitely not to let you fly on both wings!"
"When the ball comes to the frontcourt, you two wingers need to communicate with each other. There must be one person in the penalty area to cooperate with Ronaldo in bombing. You need to insert into the opponent's penalty area without the ball and look for opportunities yourself. But make sure there are defensive teammates in the space behind you to help you fill the position.”
"Yes." Isco and Asensio nodded, keeping in mind Zidane's guidance.
Next, Zidane continued: "Modric, you need to play the role of an all-around midfielder and participate more in defense. Passing and organization can adjust positions according to the overall formation."
"When the forwards are grabbing points, the full-backs must step in to assist in the attack. At this time, the task of our first line of defense is completely handed over to you. You must pay attention."
"Bai Ran."
Bai Ran heard Zidane calling him, so he looked at the coach.
"Um."
Zidane looked deeply at his beloved disciple. In this game, Zidane had put all his treasure on Bai Ran.
"This is your first time trying this position, but I have faith in you."
"You have to play the role of a midfield playmaker!"
Bai Ran was slightly startled. It seemed that such words had never been used in Zidane's tactics before.
This tactic is also a 442 formation developed by Zidane himself and has Zidane's exclusive characteristics. It will only be used when fighting against strong teams.
As a coach, Zidane certainly knows that in the traditional 442 formation, this organizational core is the core position of this lineup and requires high player ability values!
Especially ability values such as vision and creativity.
Because there is only one organizational player in the game, he will have a lot of ball rights. It is up to him to decide whether to give it to the wing or directly find the frontcourt players.
Therefore, if Bai Ran's performance is perfect, this is a gorgeous game, but if Bai Ran's performance is not good, this is a disaster!
This is why it is said that Zidane put all his treasure on Bai Ran. This is a real desperate move.
"You are responsible for the offense and defense of the team in your position, including Modric around you, who all revolves around you."
"You need to keep your focus at all times and observe what's going on around you. When your teammates pass the ball to you, Real Madrid's life is in your hands."
"You face the backcourt and Real Madrid defend, you face the frontcourt and Real Madrid attack!"
Bai Ran's position is equivalent to Real Madrid's lifeblood!
Zidane's arrangement made Bai Ran swallow his saliva. The task assigned to him by the coach was too heavy.
But he is absolutely confident that he can do it well!
To a certain extent, the tactical status of this position is such that one person can definitely control the entire game!
Bai Ran felt that he could definitely do it!
Zidane continued: "Do you remember the time in Castilla, when I handed you the position?"
Bai Ran nodded, of course he remembered, and the memory was still fresh.
"Free man in the frontcourt."
Zidane responded in the affirmative, and then said: "If you don't fully understand, I can tell you this."
"For example, your location is here."
As he spoke, Zidane took out a red magnet and attached it to the middle circle of the tactical board.
"Before, as a free agent in the frontcourt, you had to play all positions in the frontcourt."
"Including here, here, and..."
As he spoke, Zidane filled the frontcourt of the tactical board with red magnets.
"But now, you just have to stay in midfield."
"And do you still know who these points are?"
Bai Ran glanced at the tactical board and wondered: "Aren't these the positions I need to run to when I play free agency?"
Zidane shook his head, a strange color flashed in his eyes!
"No!"
"This is Cristiano Ronaldo, this is Benzema!"
"This is Isco!"
"Asensio, Marcelo, Carvajal."
"This is Modric!"
With that said, Zidane clicked on all the chess-piece-like magnets for Bai Ran.
When Zidane said this, it was as if he was enlightened and he instantly understood the coach's intention!
It turns out that this is how the playmaker wants to play...
In this game, it was as if he was trying to cooperate with his old self!
It turns out that this is what happened, Bai Ran suddenly realized it!
Zidane's tactical analysis ends here. Their midfield lineup is extremely luxurious and can be called the best in the world!
The frontcourt lineup was also star-studded. Zidane was very bold and let Bell rest off the court. Instead of reusing this general, he re-activated Asensio who had a better attitude.
And Bai Ran has gradually secured his main position. This game is destined to be extremely exciting!
Time flew by so fast. Zidane once again gave the players simple instructions on what they needed to pay attention to. The game was about to begin!
Players from both sides stand in the tunnel ready to enter!
The roaring cheers and cheers of fans came from outside, and the Bernabeu was gradually filled with people!
There were endless cheers, and the atmosphere of today’s game was really exciting!
The commentator also walked into the studio and picked up the information in his hand. Adjusting the microphone.
"Hello viewers, what we bring to you next is the 26th round of the Spanish Primera Division, Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid at home!"
