Chapter 246 International Champions Cup! Real Madrid vs Paris

"This is good for everyone, what do you think?"

Bai Ran naturally has no objection. It is already very good to renew the contract to reach this level.

It can be said that no player of this age has yet been able to get such a high contract.

Bai Ran, this is unprecedented!

The agent thought for a moment, he was well prepared!

But there was nothing he could do. Now Bai Ran's importance to Real Madrid was self-evident. Florentino personally told himself that if he couldn't talk to Bai Ran, he wouldn't have to do it.

The conditions proposed by the other party directly hit the pain point.

It just hit the highest point of Real Madrid's finances. Now, the price is the limit of what Real Madrid can afford.

If it goes any lower, they will suffer a loss, and if it goes higher, Real Madrid can't afford it.

Does Mendes know Real Madrid's financial situation so thoroughly?

But now, there is nothing we can do.

The agent nodded: "Okay."

"That's it, I'll go back and print out the contract first, and then I'll invite you to come over and sign it."

“A pleasure to work with.”

It was obvious that something was wrong with the agent's face, while Mendes and Bai Ran's faces were full of smiles.

“A pleasure to work with.”

Unexpectedly, such a contract extension could be turned into this situation by Mendes.

Bai Ran turned from passive to active, and after dealing with the other party, he had no choice but to give up a huge price.

Not only did his annual salary increase by 7 million, nearly doubling it, but he even gave away 50% of his image rights!

This is really cutting flesh from Real Madrid’s body!

But there is no way, Bai Ran is also a piece of meat for Real Madrid, and it is a piece of meat in the heart.

If Bai Ran leaves the Premier League, not only will Real Madrid lose a pillar, but it will also give other teams a very powerful fighting force.

By then, in the Champions League, if Real Madrid meets Bai Ran's team, they will definitely not be able to win with 10,000 players.

Bai Ran has a very thorough understanding of Real Madrid's lineup analysis. Since he can fit in like a fish in water in Real Madrid's lineup, he must also know how to crack Real Madrid's tactics.

This contract renewal is not only for Real Madrid to consolidate its strength, but also to prevent top talented players like Bai Ran from leaking and posing threats and hidden dangers to Real Madrid.

After going out, Bai Ran couldn't help but admire Mendes' negotiation experience.

"Is this possible? You are so awesome!"

Mendes smiled softly: "It's a small thing."

"On the court, you are the most eye-catching, but in the negotiation field, there are probably not many people who can compare with me."

"Okay, it's time for you to report. When you sign the contract, check the terms carefully. If there are no problems, I will help you here."

With a commission rate of 5%, Mendes' company can also make a lot of money, and part of this proportion of image rights must be allocated to them.

Bai Ran also happily accepted it. After all, he had no such income before, and it was Mendes who helped him obtain this benefit.

Later, Bai Ran went to Zidane to report. The day after returning to the team, all Real Madrid players had arrived and started training normally.

During the training, Morata, Mariano Dias, and Bai Ran's old teammate Vazquez all came to the training ground and met with everyone.

The whole team trains together, which is just a warm-up. Today is the first day of training back with the team, so the load cannot be too heavy.

After chatting with these people, Morata also found Bai Ran in person and asked him some questions.

Also a player from Real Madrid, Bai Ran's rapid progress in half a season has obviously become a role model for all young players, especially the young guys who came out of the Galaxy Battleship's youth team, who have set Bai Ran as a benchmark.

Mariano Dias is technically one year younger than Bai Ran. He was just promoted to the first team to fill the vacancy left by Benzema's injury. However, at 23 years old, he is already older than Bai Ran. A full six years older.

For Mariano, Bai Ran is simply an idol-level figure.

Even the first thing, Mariano and Bai Ran asked for autographed photos.

A few days have passed, and they have integrated well. Benzema has not participated in training with the team these days, but is recuperating in the medical area of ​​the Real Madrid base.

Several new players gradually became familiar with their teammates, and with Bai Ran as the link in the middle, Vazquez also maintained a very good relationship with his teammates.

In the blink of an eye, it’s game day.

In the International Champions Cup, Real Madrid will face Paris Saint-Germain at the Ohio Stadium in the United States.

There were a large number of reporters who came that day. After all, it was the first game of the season. They wanted to see the status of the personnel reserves of Real Madrid and Paris after the rest.

And with the arrival of new players, they are also very much looking forward to what kind of strength these protagonists of the big news in the transfer window will show.

More importantly, whether Bai Ran, the MVP of last year's Champions League champion Real Madrid, can perform bravely again today.

I heard that Bai Ran's net worth soared to 80 million on Dezhuan.com. It shocked the entire football world that such a young player could have such value.

Soon, the shuttle buses from both sides arrived at the outside of Ohio Stadium.

Hundreds of spectators and reporters flocked to the game, wanting to see with their own eyes the mental outlook of the players.

Ramos was the first to get off, followed by Bai Ran and Modric.

Following closely behind him is Morata, the latest arrival from Real Madrid.

I heard that this new player who has returned to his hometown will start in this game. I wonder what kind of uproar it will cause.

Soon, the players all arrived one after another and went into the locker room to adjust.

They changed their jerseys and put on their own No. 37 jersey again after a holiday.

Wrist bandages, cotton for the feet, shin guards, socks - everything was arranged in place. Bai Ran let out a sigh of relief. Finally everything was ready. He had not slackened off for such a long time and was training every day. After all, today is the time to show results.

"Bai Ran."

Before leaving, Bai Ran suddenly heard Zidane calling to him.

"how?"

Zidane came to Bai Ran and said a little embarrassedly: "Can you be a substitute for this game?"

Bai Ran suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zidane: "Substitute?"

"Okay, but I want to know why."

In the Real Madrid team, Bai Ran can now be said to be one of the strongest immediate combat players. He doesn't understand why Zidane made such a decision.

Zidane said: "I just made arrangements. You see, many new players in the team have not played in a game yet. This International Champions Cup is said to be a cup, but it is actually a pre-season warm-up match."

"If they are not allowed to play in these games, they may have to wait for the league to start."

"I'm not too worried about their condition."

"So I want to put them into the lineup for this warm-up match. In this case, you may have to make some contributions and be on the bench for a while."

"May I?"

Bai Ran nodded: "Of course."

He didn't complain at all in his heart. After all, the coach's arrangements were reasonable. Although the newcomers in the team had been training with Real Madrid for about a week, to be honest, their game experience was not particularly rich. With these teammates There has never been any real cooperation on the field.

Let them accumulate some experience and increase the degree of running-in, which is also a good thing for the team.

So when Bai Ran agreed, Zidane patted him on the shoulder to express his gratitude, and then explained the tactical arrangements to other players.

The commentary for this game is also in place, and this game at the beginning of the season is about to begin.

"Viewers, welcome to Ohio Stadium! I am the host of this game."

"The new season has begun! Fans and friends, are you looking forward to the team's performance and status in the new season as much as I do?"

"Let's watch this International Champions Cup match, Real Madrid! vs. Paris Saint-Germain."

"We knew before this game that Real Madrid brought in Morata, Mariano and Vazquez."

"Paris has also made a lot of adjustments. In the new season, they have introduced new German players Draxler, as well as Ben Arfa and Meunier. These signings are all important to the depth of Paris' lineup. It’s a great addition and let’s see what kind of sparks the matchup between the two sides will bring out.”

"Now let me introduce you to the starting lineup."

"Real Madrid is playing a 5-3-2 formation, which is also the latest lineup compiled by Zidane."

"I wonder if this lineup can shine this season, or is it just a trial version of Zidane's trump card?"

"As for the goalkeeper, Navas did not play. Standing on the goal line was Casilla. Vazquez and Danilo, who were recently promoted to the first team from Castilla, formed a double back, separated on both sides."

"In the middle, on both sides are the partners of Marcelo and Nacho, and near the goal, French center back Varane is guarding the city."

"In the midfield, Real Madrid has Kovacic, Casemiro and Isco, and in the forward line there are Morata and Jese who have returned to Real Madrid."

"Paris Saint-Germain still has a 4-3-3 formation. The goalkeeper is Trapp, and the defenders are Kurzawa, Kimpembe, Aurier and Brazil international Thiago Silva."

"We have Pastore, Rabiot and Lorenzo in the midfield."

"On the forward line, Incone and Lucas Moura partner on the left and right wings, while in the center is Uruguay's striker Cavani."

"You can see that both sides are warming up on the field at this time, and the enthusiasm of the fans is also very high!"

The host is right. The football atmosphere in the United States is also quite good. Especially the collision between these two focus teams has attracted the attention of many fans.

In the stands, whether they were Paris fans wearing dark blue or Real Madrid fans wearing pure white, they all held their flags high to support their teams.

Amid thunderous applause from the fans, players from both sides appeared on the stage.

Under the spotlight, two rows of players stepped onto the green with firm steps, ready to face this battle.

Logically speaking, this warm-up match does not have such high gold content, but judging from Paris' lineup, they seem to take it quite seriously.

With the referee's whistle, the game begins.

Real Madrid took the lead in serving.

Morata in the center passed the ball to Isco on the left. Isco took the ball and watched, not in a hurry to release the ball.

Facing the opponent Pastore's defense, Isco pulled the ball under his feet and made a move to escape. With a swing of his center of gravity, he left Pastore behind.

Isco then continued to dribble the ball forward, and his teammates also followed suit. Morata's week of training with his teammates was somewhat effective. He passed defender Kurzawa with a reverse run, and then quickly moved forward. Insert.

Isco found the right moment and hit a through ball, a beautiful through ball!

Morata dribbled the ball forward, broke into the opponent's penalty area, and shot with his left foot while being double-teamed on the left and right!

boom!

There was a muffled sound and the ball hit the side net!

This was the first shooting opportunity after the game started, and it came from Morata.

This shot also announced that the game was getting more intense.

But looking at Real Madrid's lineup, they are obviously just playing for fun.

In the 10th minute of the game, Paris's Lucas dribbled the ball in from the left side of the penalty area. Marcelo's block caused Lucas to fall to the ground. The referee blew the whistle and gave a free kick. Warned Marcelo.

This time the referee showed mercy and did not take out the card.

Paris's free kick opportunity, Rabiot took the penalty, and his curved kick missed the post slightly, which was quite threatening!

In the 13th minute, Paris got another free kick opportunity, but Pastore's cross was of poor quality and did not pose a threat.

In the 19th minute, Real Madrid took the ball from the backcourt and came from Kovacic. After receiving the ball, Morata got a single chance and shot with his right foot!

Unfortunately, it was offside and the ball flew over the crossbar.

Zidane looked a little worried on the sidelines. Morata's condition seemed unstable, and his shot... was a bit outrageous.

Think about it, Morata was considered a child prodigy when he was in Real Madrid's youth training. His sense of touch and shooting skills in front of goal were second to none among young people and were very strong.

But after being promoted, his performance was not satisfactory. Unexpectedly, after returning from Juventus, he did not make much progress.

Real Madrid decided to repurchase him for 30 million because he was in good condition during his time at Juventus, but Morata's performance was not convincing.

His left and right feet are very balanced, and he can shoot and pass with both feet. Real Madrid is actually more interested in this aspect of him.

But since the start of the game, Morata has shot with both his left and right feet. The quality of these two shots is not very high.

The game continues.

In the 24th minute, Real Madrid got another free kick opportunity. Morata hit the post with a curved shot from 25 meters away and missed the goal.

In the 27th minute, Paris' center penetrated and cooperated. Rabiot broke into the center of the penalty area and hit the goal with his left foot, but Casilla extended his foot to save it in a thrilling manner.

Although Real Madrid is better than the opponent in the number of shots, the most threatening attack so far in this game is launched by Paris.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Kovacic got rid of the defense from the outside and hit the goal with a curved ball that was extremely threatening. The opponent's Trapp was in great condition and flew to save the ball.

This shot was disappointing, and the fans on the sidelines couldn't help but feel a little pity. Although neither side had scored a goal in the past few decades, the scene was still exciting.

Both sides went back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, and both had chances to shoot, but they did not score.

Zidane was not casual on the sidelines. Even in this friendly match, he went all out to guide Real Madrid's players in offense and defense.

"Pull over! Jose! Pull over!"

"Kovacic, don't be afraid! Come up to meet the ball! Don't stand still!"

"Move, move!"

Zidane clapped his hands and urged the players on the field not to be distracted.

The first game of the season is easy to be like this. The players all play lazily. This is the importance of the warm-up match. They must get back to their best condition before the start of the league.

"Marcelo! Come forward! Support!"

"Pass the ball, look up and look at Morata in front!"

Zidane roared loudly, and Real Madrid's offense was indeed a bit constipated.

In the 37th minute of the game, Real Madrid launched the offensive again.

Isco attacked in the middle and passed a long pass to the foot of Jesus in the frontcourt. Facing the defense of defender Thiago Silva, Jesus did not have the confidence to pass it cleanly, so he decisively handed the ball to him. Next to Morata.

After receiving the ball, Morata had an angle shot, but was blocked by Kurzawa, so he moved the ball to the right and then kicked the shot!

His body was extremely stretched, his thighs were suddenly raised, and he exerted great force, volleying with one kick!

A ridiculous scene occurred, Morata's shot was kicked...

This shot did not hit the main goal frame, nor did it hit the bottom line, but kicked out of the sideline...

This kind of shot made all the Paris players smile. What kind of kicks are there!

It's outrageous that the shot can go out of the sideline!

"Good ball, good ball!" Zidane gave more encouragement to the players on the sidelines, clapped his hands and said: "Try more, no problem!"

"We allow mistakes, but we don't allow failure to try! Run and look for opportunities!"

"Morata! Don't panic, calm down and don't be in a hurry."

"Find the feeling when you shoot!"

Morata looked at Zidane on the sidelines, nodded, and retreated to his position.

The reason why Zidane sent out this formation today was not because of any trump card or big killer, but... simply to allow Jese and Morata to get more of the ball and attack.

After all, with the 532 formation, their offense will rely more on the cooperation between the two forwards, which will allow them to exercise their abilities and mentality more.

At present, the performance of these two players, Jese and Morata, is not good.

The game continued, and in the 45th minute, Paris' last attack before halftime was launched by Lorenzo.

Midfielder Lorenzo made a long pass and found Incone on the wing. Incone used his excellent speed to get out of the way and cross at a 45-degree angle!

Cavani was unmarked in the middle, the ball flew from the air to his feet, and he volleyed!
