Chapter 27 Zidane’s first reaction was Bai Ran

Since Bai Ran was distracted when Zidane was talking, even though Zidane had turned around and left, Bai Ran was still immersed in his own world.

He didn't notice at all that he had made the league's roster!

His teammates all looked at Bai Ran with surprise, but he was the only one who was confused.

What happened?

It was like a dream!

Although there were only three people on the seven substitutes list who had a chance to play, he was already very satisfied with this opportunity!

Upon hearing the news, Bai Ran looked at Zidane's back from afar.

So tall and majestic!

A flame ignited in his heart.

The players trained as usual the day before the game, but the training volume was lower than usual in order to preserve their physical strength in the game.

Soon it was the second day of the game.

The opening game of the league was Real Madrid's second team Castilla at home against Ebro.

Ebro was a relegation team in the Spanish Second Division B, not a strong team.

Even for Castilla, this was a weak team that had no ability to fight back.

At the pre-match press conference, Zidane accepted the interview as usual.

"What are your prospects for the new season?"

Zidane answered the question with a bang.

"Our goal has always been to be the first. This is my style of doing things and the tradition of Real Madrid."

"Obviously my players also support such a goal. I think they are ready."

The reporter admired Zidane's dominance. This attitude of "who else but me" has been revealed since his playing career.

The reporter continued to ask: "Today's opponent is Ebro, whose overall strength is not as good as Castilla. In your eyes, can the game against such a weak team be ignored?"

Hearing this question, Zidane's expression became serious and shook his head.

"Every opponent deserves our respect, and every game deserves our full effort."

"We will not take it lightly. Football is round and anything can happen."

"Also, please don't call any team a weak team in the future."

"That's all I have to say. Let's stop here today."

Even though the reporters who rushed up behind him were still asking questions desperately, Zidane had already turned around and left the press conference.

They also want to know whether they will see the new young player Bai Ran today, who performed well in the friendly match! However, as reporters, they also know that questions about tactics like this will not be answered directly before the game 99% of the time... From Zidane's conversation, it is not difficult to see his respect for his opponents. This is why Real Madrid B is so strong and popular. In the Di Stefano Stadium, most fans have already sat down, waiting for the start of the game. The home stadium can accommodate about 9,000 people, but the attendance rate is so high today. Just a league match in the Spanish Second Division B, there are nearly 5,000 people coming to watch. Of course, most of them are local fans in Madrid. In the away team area, there are also hundreds of fanatical fans who come to cheer for Ebro. Facing the mighty home team fans, they are not inferior in momentum at all. There are still supporters carrying big flags and waving them in the air, showing the faith in their hearts. Even a small and unknown team like Ebro has so many die-hard followers. This is the football culture of Europe! Compared with this, what can China's football culture achieve?

There are very few football fans, and the proportion is simply unbearable!

Even so, more than half of them are champion fans.

If you win, I am your fan. If you lose, I will criticize you more than anyone else. At worst, I will change to another team to support!

Anyway, pirated jerseys are not expensive!

Moreover, a small township-level team like Ebro, if placed in China, will definitely not have supporters if the results are not good.

It is undeniable that in Europe, any small team will have fanatical fans to support it, and the gap in China is obvious.

Soon, the player channel was opened.

The players of the two teams lined up to walk out of the stadium to welcome the applause and cheers of the fans on the scene!

The atmosphere on the scene was very warm!

The referee team stood in the center of the stadium, and the players on the left and right sides each put their hands behind their backs, adjusted their breathing, and prepared for the game.

After a while, the national anthem of the Bullfighting Country resounded throughout the stadium, and the solemn and sacred feeling made everyone hum along.

At this time, the well-known domestic commentator was also sitting in the studio, taking advantage of this time to introduce the lineup of players for today's game.

After the introduction, both sides basically deployed their formations.

Ebro knew that he was not strong enough today, so he set up a 541 iron bucket formation, which is the legendary "bus parking".

The tactics are also very simple, all players defend, rush to the penalty area, and steal fiercely.

From the beginning, they didn't run to win the game at all!

A draw is the best result.

On the other hand, Real Madrid still used the classic 433 high-pressure defense, with both wings flying together.

Rodriguez and Gomez on the wing formed a double flying wing, ready to go, and Gonzalez, a high center forward, was set up in the middle.

With the referee's whistle, the game began!

"Good shot! The ball was transferred to Real Madrid, Rodriguez broke through quickly, and he went in!"

"Ah! Unfortunately, the cross was headed out by the densely positioned defensive players!"

"Gomez found space on the right and hit the wall with Hermoso. Beautiful!"

"Hit the door!"

"It hit the defensive player, and the referee indicated that it was a touchline ball!"

The tone of the commentary was very exciting and the scene was very exciting. The game was great to watch, but the only drawback was that there were no goals!

The fans on the sidelines cheered one after another.

Real Madrid launched an indiscriminate offensive from the beginning and took the absolute initiative.

It has to be said that Ebro's resilience is simply too strong.

Faced with this almost overwhelming advantage, they actually haven't conceded a goal yet.

In their 541 formation, almost "5" and "4" are in their own penalty area!

There is also a "1" running in the frontcourt, which is the remaining fire. After all, if the opponent makes a mistake and has the opportunity to score, they are still happy to accept it.

With this tactic, anyone who comes can only watch the ball and sigh!

"Hermoso, try the long shot!"

"Shoot when you have the chance, don't be too delicate in the penalty area!"

Zidane was wearing a black suit, with one hand in his pocket and the other pointing at the court.

Obviously, halftime is about to end, and the score is still 0-0, which makes Real Madrid second team coach Zidane a little anxious.

This situation cannot continue.

The opponent's defense is too tight, and this trend must mean that Castilla's side is losing energy faster.

The first half seemed to be a crushing game.

But the further back you get in the second half, the harder it becomes to play!

When the attack is fruitless, the physical exertion is too serious, and mistakes will definitely occur. Even if the opponent is given a chance to seize it, the consequences will be unbearable.

Changes must be made immediately!

Thinking of this, Zidane's first reaction... was to look to the sidelines.

That Asian face, a kid from China.

Bai Ran!
