Chapter 204 Helpless temporary tactics! Bai Ran unlocks a new position!

The stands outside the stadium were already full of people, and fans and scouts from all walks of life came to watch the game.

The players have been looking forward to this game for a long time. At this stage of the season, every game is very popular.

The suspense of the championship still exists, and Real Madrid and Barcelona are only three points apart.

Although Real Madrid also has an advantage in goal difference, even if they lose one game, they can almost win the championship.

The trophy is already within reach.

Before the game started, Zidane even told his feelings in front of the media.

"The team is now in a critical period of the championship, and we will go all out in every game."

"This is not only an explanation to Real Madrid for their efforts throughout the season, but also a satisfactory answer to the fans who have supported us for so long."

"Real Madrid failed to win any games last season, and many fans may be very disappointed, but this time we will definitely take back what we should get."

Of course, Zidane did not mention the tactical changes in this game, and the reporters and media were completely unaware of this matter, and of course did not ask about it.

After the interview, Zidane came to the locker room.

The players were ready to play, wearing their jerseys neatly, waiting to play.

But at this time, Ramos suddenly had a question.

Where is Modric?

This was a temporary adjustment. Modric only found out that his injury was getting worse during the day, so he asked Zidane to take a break.

Even his teammates didn't know about it.

The list was just reported by Zidane.

At this time, Zidane walked into the locker room and said, "Everyone, listen to me."

Ramos blurted out, "Coach, wait a minute."

"Why didn't you see Modric?"

"Shouldn't he..."

Bale from the team also said, "I didn't see him on the bus just now."

"Yeah, I didn't see Modric either. I thought he drove here by himself."

"Indeed, I didn't notice it just now. Modric didn't come?"

"What's going on with him!"

Bai Ran said nothing, just tied his shoelaces aside.

Zidane said, "Be quiet for a moment."

"I'm here to talk about this."

"Modric is not feeling well today, so he can't play in this game, so I want to tell you about our tactical changes for this game."

Bai Ran perked up at this time and listened with his ears erect.

He had already expected it in his heart.

The so-called tactical change basically means that Modric will no longer play, and will be replaced by Toni Kroos or James Rodriguez.

Then they will organize more passes and forward runs, so that they can perform more defensive tasks and serve as Modric's engineer duties.

But what Bai Ran didn't expect was that what Zidane blurted out shocked him!

"The goalkeeper and defenders don't move."

"In the midfield, Casemiro's position is advanced, Kroos, you start."

The German nodded. For him, who has rich experience on the field, a game against Real Sociedad is really not stressful.

Then, Zidane said, "Then it's Pepe, you have to be in the main lineup too."

Real Madrid's central defenders are Ramos and Varane. Pepe was originally a substitute central defender, but Zidane's words seemed to want Pepe to play as a defensive midfielder!

Bai Ran was stunned for a moment.

Ah?

Is Zidane asking him to be a substitute?

Neither of the two front midfielders has his own name, and his partners are Pepe, a central defender from Portugal, and Toni Kroos, a German.

Of course, if Zidane makes this arrangement, Bai Ran can accept it.

As a professional player, the interests of the team are of course supreme. The backbone of the team must be the head coach. The head coach's arrangement is their order and must be obeyed.

Only in this way can the team get better and better.

And Benítez has given them a negative example. If the head coach cannot convince the public, it will lead to disharmony in the entire locker room!

Bai Ran knows this very well, so he did not participate too much in Zidane's choice, but just took off his shoes silently. It is estimated that he will be a substitute in this game.

He looked a little lonely, and just when Bai Ran took off the shin guards on his legs, Zidane's voice came again.

"Benzema, you take a rest on the bench first."

"Bai Ran."

"You play as a striker."

What... what?

When Bai Ran heard the news, he was more shocked than letting himself be a substitute!

Let himself play as a striker! ?

"Coach, are you serious?"

The Real Madrid players were also shocked. Why not use Benzema? Let the midfielder play as a striker?

There is no need!

Zidane knew that Bai Ran was in excellent condition, and his attacking ability was completely top-notch in the football world. Whether it was passing, awareness, positioning and receiving, he was very strong.

On the defensive end, he did not have much experience, which could be said to be his biggest shortcoming.

There are no other midfielders in the team who are strong defensive players. Toni Kroos? His defensive talent is of no use, not to mention Ronaldo, who is the last swan song of a classical midfielder and cannot defend at all.

At this time, we can only rely on Casemiro's ability to control the midfield, and Bai Ran, this super buggy player, has to use it.

Therefore, under the rights, Zidane made such adjustments.

Casemiro partners with Toni Kroos as the playmaker in the frontcourt.

He sent Pepe to take the position of midfielder.

And Bai Ran, he will play forward in this game.

And he is a No. 9 and a half striker!

The kind of forward who doesn't have to participate in defense at all and only needs to wander on the opponent's offside line!

Later, Zidane pulled over the tactical board and quickly introduced the tactical arrangements for this game in ten minutes.

Basically, it is a natural partnership between Cristiano Ronaldo and Bell. Bell's winger is used to break through to the baseline and then cross, try to minimize incision and shooting, and pass more.

Bai Ran plays the role of a No. 9 and a half forward forward, looking for opportunities to move and be responsible for scoring.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, was acting as a cover to support Bai Ran.

Attract defense!

This is the most powerful point of Ronaldo.

Just imagine, a deadly weapon, if you use it, you will have no deterrent at all.

And when it's in your hand, that's when you're the most scary!

Cristiano Ronaldo is such a character. He possesses attack and finishing abilities that are well-known around the world. He is extremely fast, extremely explosive, and has a super high hit rate with his kick in front of the goal.

Because of this, the opponent will definitely increase the focus of defense on Ronaldo and prevent him from easily breaking into the opponent's penalty area.

And in this way, it gives forward Bai Ran more room to play.

However, Bai Ran's threat is no less than that of Cristiano Ronaldo!

Bai Ran's current ability is even more comprehensive than Ronaldo's!

This temporary tactic came into being. I don't know what effect it will have on the field.

In the backcourt, a role like Modric is lost, and Casemiro's excellent passing skills can also be brought into play. After his position is in the front, Real Madrid's entire midfield is full of dominance. His physical strength and interception ability are better than Modric is only strong but not weak.

Casemiro's weaknesses are organizational ability, vision and overall view.

At this point, he is not at the same level as Modric.

But Toni Kroos next to him perfectly made up for this!

The German has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his interpretation of the game is so powerful!

In the midfielder position, Zidane also chose Pepe, who is slightly faster, to play the role of a sweeper, more tackles and interceptions, and after getting the ball, just hand it to the full-back!

As of now, I can’t think too much about it.

This is the best way Zidane can think of to adapt to the situation.

Don’t know if it works, but it’s worth a try!

At this moment, players from both sides were about to enter the stadium. Zidane let out a sigh of relief. There were still many things that he had not explained to everyone, but there was no time.

"Go ahead, boys."

"I believe in your ability and bring another victory to Real Madrid."

"come on!"

The team is full of confidence, and the coach's encouragement makes them very excited!

Players from both sides divided into two teams and entered the Anoeta Stadium!

At this time, commentary was also going on in the studio.

"Hello viewers, I will bring you the highlight of La Liga. Real Madrid will challenge Real Sociedad away from home."

"Before this, we also learned that Barcelona had two consecutive draws, which gave Real Madrid another initiative in the championship."

"Now as long as Real Madrid doesn't lose a game, they have every chance of winning the La Liga title this year."

"Let's take a look at today's contest."

"Next, I will introduce to you the lineups of both sides."

"Um?"

At this point, the commentator took off his headphones, and the staff behind him was holding a stack of information and whispering something to him.

Upon hearing this news, the commentator was also stunned.

It’s so explosive! This news came so suddenly!

Later, the commentator put on the headphones again and adjusted the sound, but his hands were shaking a little!

"Ah! We just got the new lists of both sides, and there are some temporary changes in personnel!"

"We can see that there have been quite a few changes on Real Madrid's side!"

"On the forward line, Cristiano Ronaldo still leads the two wings, and the forward in the center... is Bai Ran!"

"Oh my god, Modric doesn't seem to be on the roster today, but Bai Ran played as a forward!"

"Is this a new tactic from Zidane?"

"And the midfielder is composed of Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Pepe. What kind of combination is this... we have no way of knowing!"

"The defenders are still the same, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane and Marcelo, and the goalkeeper is Navas."

"It seems that Real Madrid is going to test new tactics in this game!"

"Let's see how effective they are!"

During this period, the players from both sides have completed the pre-match ceremony, the two teams have opened up and completed warm-up exercises, and the game is about to begin!

As the referee blows his whistle, the game begins!

Real Sociedad kicks off from the center circle!

Before the game started, they were also puzzled!

Isn't Bai Ran a midfielder?

Why did you end up in the forward position?

And...where is Modric?

Could it be that they want to test our lineup and tactics with us! ?

These players were very puzzled and filled with anger.

This is being looked down upon!

Zidane thinks he can tyrannize us with any arrangement, is that why?

It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting!

It seems like we need to give Real Madrid some color.

As soon as Real Sociedad kicked off the ball, they launched a fiery offensive!

Xavi Prieto got the ball and passed it to Bruma on the wing!

Buruma flew to Toni Kroos's side, and then pulled the ball past Kroos!

Bai Ran looked at this scene and realized why Modric wanted to strengthen his defensive capabilities.

After all, Cross is really not good at it!

Bruma is very fast, and this wave of attacks is very fierce!

After the midfielder was passed, a huge gap immediately appeared in Real Madrid's defense!

This is a loophole! Seize the opportunity, Real Sociedad is very likely to score in the first offensive opportunity after the opening!

Huge scoring opportunity!

Oyarzabal in the middle is already running, and the forward is empty!

Surutusa who was far away was also raising his hand high to signal the pass. No matter who the ball was passed to, it was a threatening shot that was likely to result in a goal.

Buruma came to the edge of the penalty area and was about to take off!

At this moment, a white figure flashed past!

A falling shovel, bloody violence!

This tackle made Bruma jump in fright, and the ball was poked out by the white figure!

Damn, that’s so shocking!

This defense was really decisive and wonderful, decisive and even a bit... can be described as reckless!

Everyone looked up and saw a bald man!

Pepe!

Bruma covered his head, still thinking about the attack just now.

If this ball is shoveled into his legs, it will be the ruin of his career...

Pepe is so cruel, why is he in this position!

He is such a defensive midfielder!

Only then did Bruma react.

All the Real Madrid fans were excited and burst into applause!

Letting go this time will especially boost your morale!

Ramos ran over and grabbed Pepe's shoulders with both hands and shouted encouragement, great job!

Pepe's face was expressionless.

Just basic operations.

I haven't really shown my true strength yet!

When the opponent takes a penalty kick, full-back Saldua serves the ball.

The ball came to Xavi Prieto's feet.

He was slowly dribbling the ball from the edge to the center, keeping his eyes on Pepe.

Pepe was taking the overall situation into consideration and moved closer to the center without pressing Xavi Prieto.

His fear of Pepe is very strong.

So he kept looking at Pepe, not daring to look away.

After all, he has also studied the Real Madrid team. The defense in the backcourt is indeed strong, but the frontcourt has basically no stealing ability.

Once they reached Real Madrid's half, they no longer had to worry about what was behind them, they could just focus on passing the people in front of them, and all problems would be solved.

But at this moment, a tall figure appeared in front of Harvey Prieto!

A thigh stretched directly over, creating a huge gap between Harvey Prieto and the ball!

The body is stuck!

Who is this! ?

Xavi Prieto was shocked. Why did Real Madrid have such a fierce tackler in the frontcourt?

I took a closer look and realized, damn, I can’t even play anymore!

Why is Casemiro here?

With his excellent stealing awareness and defensive skills, Casemiro successfully intercepted the ball, and then made a through pass. The ball came to the feet of Toni Kroos!

Toni Kroos took the ball and dribbled forward in stride.

There is already a huge open space ahead.

Cristiano Ronaldo moves forward at high speed!

The opponent's defender Elustondo quickly followed up. This Cristiano Ronaldo is not joking with you. If he says he scores your goal, he will score your goal!

The task given to him by the head coach today is to keep an eye on Ronaldo!

Ronaldo suddenly made a reverse movement at this time, catching the opponent off guard, and Toni Kroos also made a pass!

When the opponent's defender saw it, he hurriedly ran towards Ronaldo. The defensive loss was a huge opportunity for Portugal's top forward!

Fortunately, they were fast enough and blocked the passing route in time.

At this moment, Toni Kroos made a direct pass and directly tore open the opponent's defense!

This ball was passed to Bai Ran!

Bai Ran used Raul's sense of smell in front of the goal to be keenly aware of his teammates' passing intentions. He had been wandering on the opponent's offside line for a long time!

Moreover, Bai Ran kept observing the movements of the opponent's defender.

He can be sure that the ball is not offside!

After receiving the ball, Bai Ran faced the goalkeeper directly. This was the absolute final moment. Of course, he had to use Ronaldo's template!

Bai Ran faced the opponent's goalkeeper Lu Li, who was attacking, feinting his center of gravity from left to right!

Lu Li was stunned by this series of fake moves. Where is he going to break through?

Toni Kroos's pass directly penetrated Real Sociedad's defense. The center back couldn't catch up with Bai Ran. Only the goalkeeper was left in front of him!

The other defenders all ran out with Ronaldo. How could they come back?

Bai Ran made a beautiful pendulum pass and passed the goalkeeper directly!

Then he came to the bottom line and pushed the ball at a small angle!

The ball went in.

"Goal!!!"

The commentator was crazy, not to mention the fans in the stands!

The whole audience was impressed by Real Madrid's performance. They didn't expect that they would get a miraculous effect after losing Modric!

Bai Ran scored the first goal, which was only in the fifth minute of the game!

Everything started with Pepe's steal in the backcourt. Zidane's tactical arrangement was too reasonable!

Ronaldo's running position really pulled away all the defensive players of Real Sociedad!

It was as beautiful as a picture!

Toni Kroos's organizational ability was also very terrifying. He even had a fake move when passing the ball!

It seemed that the ball was passed to Ronaldo, but he twisted his ankle and directly passed the ball to Bai Ran!

And Bai Ran, needless to say, had a wonderful running position, like a ghost without a trace!

His finishing ability in front of the goal was even first-class. He used his pendulum pass, which was close to his signature, to pass the goalkeeper, and finally easily pushed the ball into the empty goal to score.

Who can not love such a forward?
