Chapter 107 The Focus of the Battle, the National Derby!

Under everyone's expectation, the game is about to begin.

Players from both sides are already waiting to play in the players' locker room. The coach also quickly arranged tactics during this time and told the players everything he wanted to tell them at once.

In this game, Bai Ran still started the game and controlled the entire offensive situation. He had to fully complete all the tasks in the frontcourt.

Zidane did not use the two conventional center forwards in the back line, but tried to put two sweeper-type defenders who were not tall but very fast.

And the left center back is also a ball-playing defender with a very high passing level.

This way, you can intercept and steal and then attack from the wing through short passes, and you can directly hand it over to the ball-playing defender and let him kick forward directly.

This strategy is also the first time Zidane has used it, but it has been implemented many times in training, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

There was a lot of noise in the locker room. After more than ten minutes, the players from both sides were ready to enter the field.

Hermoso still stood at the forefront of the team, leading a group of teammates to step onto the familiar green field.

Di Stefano was packed with people today.

In the last round of the league, Bai Ran helped Castilla win the game with two goals and one assist, and won the precious three points thrillingly.

This made Bai Ran suddenly popular in Spain, especially in the Madrid area. Audiences who like football all want to see what level this Chinese who created the Castilla miracle is.

The stands were full of fans, presenting a white ocean.

When the spotlight shone down, the fans applauded and cheered.

Bai Ran took a deep breath, twisted his joints, and prepared to show his skills in this game!

After a while, the pre-match ceremony ended, the players of both sides took their positions, and the game began.

On the field, Fuenlabrada played very conservatively. Castilla immediately launched a sharp attack after kicking the ball, but the opponent's defense was very tight, and it was difficult to penetrate the defense line for a while.

They could only slowly control the ball outside the penalty area and look for gaps to create opportunities.

Before the game, Castilla had studied the opponent's characteristics and found that Fuenlabrada's past record was very distinctive.

Half wins and losses, mostly draws!

In other words, this team is still strong, but the style is too conservative.

Often when they are at the same starting line with the opponent, they start to set up a defensive formation, which makes it difficult for the opponent to start.

I may not be able to beat you, but I must rely on you!

It's a profit to get a point!

But they never expected that Castilla had an extremely unstable point, and their level was completely unable to defend...

Bai Ran!

The frontcourt free man's running position within the half court was erratic, and the defensive players responsible for marking him could not lose their position and had to follow him closely.

So there must be a problem involved, that is, switching defense.

And in the interval between switching defenses, there must be a short window period, during which Bai Ran is not marked.

At this time, Bai Ran can do whatever he wants.

Bai Ran was active on the wing just now, and now he cuts inside and dribbles the ball to the middle, without any sign of stopping or turning around.

The defender on that side will always follow Bai Ran, and at this time, the full-back Vasquez rushes in in time, and a huge gap appears in front of Gomez.

The opponent's central defender yells: "Go back to your position! I'm here to see this kid!"

The full-back returns to the wing in response, and the central defender pounces. At this time, Bai Ran sees the opportunity and passes the ball straight through!

The ball passes between the defender's legs, which is a crotch pass!

Although it is extremely insulting, it is not a foul!

Vasquez, who came in from the wing, immediately ran to the gap, took the ball, and sent a low pass, which was a low pass!

Gonzalez in the middle also grabbed the point in time and pushed the ball into the empty goal.

Castilla changed the score to 1-0!

Although this goal was not scored by Bai Ran, and there was no assist, the attack officially sounded the horn from the dribbling on the wing.

This was an instigated attack, and it also created a great opportunity.

Bai Ran contributed greatly to this goal!

His teammates hugged each other excitedly to celebrate, and Bai Ran was overjoyed.

While applauding, Zidane couldn't help but be surprised by Bai Ran's physical fitness.

He recovered so quickly?

In fact, since that lore, Bai Ran has never had a good rest, and he has been training with the same intensity every day since then.

And today he was included in the starting lineup because he was in good shape.

I didn't expect that he could still play with the same physical strength and level as before on the court.

It's not easy!

Although the instigated attack is not counted as Bai Ran's goal, and it cannot be included in the data at the end of the season, such performance is well known to anyone who watches the game.

On the court, Bai Ran supported Gonzalez's tall shoulders and jumped up, and the fans in the stands also gave him the best support.

After a round of celebration, the two sides returned to the center circle and the game continued.

This time, Fuenlabrada took the lead.

Although it was a team that was good at drawing, they were now behind in the score and began to get anxious.

At least they had to get a point first before thinking about a draw!

If they continued like this, they would definitely lose the game.

I had heard that there was a very famous No. 37 demon in Castilla named Bai Ran, and today I saw that he was indeed extraordinary.

Next, Bai Ran's performance on the court was also very active, and he repeatedly sent out exquisite passes, which made people applaud and applaud.

In addition, the opponent's level was not very high, and they were in a middle and lower position in the league, so they could not bear Bai Ran's violent delivery opportunities.

Castilla's players scored a goal first, so they played without pressure. In a relaxed mood, many balls began to become imaginative.

Rodriguez rode a bicycle kick on the side, and after two fake steps, he broke through to the inside line, and the opponent's defender was shaken out!

After he entered, he kicked the ball to the middle!

The trajectory of the ball was a little high, and it was a bit awkward for Gonzalez's height!

It was not high enough and it was not low enough, which was very uncomfortable!

But he had an idea and directly volleyed sideways!

The ball was very fast and went straight to the dead corner of the goal.

The goalkeeper made a save, but it was too close to the goal and it was impossible to save it.

But Gonzalez was unlucky and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out.

Bai Ran had already smelled that there was a chance for a supplementary shot on this ball. His strong sense of smell in front of the goal made him run all the way from the midfield to the penalty area.

At this time, the ball bounced to the edge of the penalty area, but the goalkeeper had lost his center of gravity and it was difficult to make a second save.

Bai Ran found the opportunity and shot a straight shot with the instep!

The ball hit the upper left corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper was out of reach and couldn't stop it at all!

The ball went in again!

2-0, the game is getting more and more exciting and more and more interesting!

They have completely controlled the game!

Now, the players should find the coach to write a review.

Good shot!

Zidane smiled proudly on the sidelines and clapped his hands repeatedly.

Since I assigned him the concept of this frontcourt free man, he has been playing better and better.

Even beyond his own tactics, he has developed a lot of skills and routines.

Playing with the opponent's defense line between applause.

This is the talent of a top genius!

He will cleverly use the tasks assigned to him by the coach, and then do more than this task.

Always give people unexpected surprises.

This is Bai Ran!

At this time, the game has been going on for 42 minutes, and there are still a few minutes before injury time. The offensive firepower of both sides is not so strong.

Fuenlabrada's side was due to the lack of offensive power, which made them unable to attack at all.

Castilla's side was to save energy for the second half.

During the halftime break, the players of both sides gathered in the locker room. Castilla's side was mainly to cheer and maintain a good state for the second half, and just maintain the status quo.

On the other hand, Fuenlabrada's locker room was not so peaceful.

The coach was furious in the room, scolding the players' performance.

Especially those defenders, four defenders, can't they even defend Bai Ran?

What are they doing!

Those defenders are also helpless. This kind of person doesn't even have a fixed position, and his ability is so strong that he can penetrate almost everywhere!

How to defend?

He can pass and shoot, and can break through at critical moments. I really don't understand why such a strong player appears in the Spanish Second Division B.

It's simply a dimensionality reduction attack!

They don't know much about Bai Ran, and they don't know that Bai Ran is just a 16-year-old child.

If they knew, they would probably have a psychological shadow for the rest of their lives.

In the second half, Zidane did not replace Bai Ran, but let him continue to play on the court.

In the last game, the opponent scored two goals when Bai Ran was not on the court. In order to be on the safe side, it is safer to let him on the court.

Moreover, Zidane had already told the players in the halftime that they did not need to attack so fiercely in the second half, and they could try to control the ball more.

Of course, opportunities must not be missed.

It's just that there is no need to fight so hard.

Ten minutes later, the players of both sides stood on the court again, just changing sides, and the second half of the game continued.

Bai Ran followed Zidane's teachings and tried his best to preserve his physical strength.

But he was the only midfielder in the frontcourt, so he had to run anyway.

So for others, slowing down the pace may be a rest, but for Bai Ran, there is no such thing as slowing down. He still needs to run all the time.

When the game reached the 66th minute, the opponent's side defender made a mistake in passing the ball and was directly blocked by Rodriguez!

He rushed to the empty space in the front court, and the opponent was chasing him. At this time, Rodriguez suddenly slowed down and the opponent was thrown out!

"Bai Ran!"

He passed the ball to Bai Ran in the midfield with a low pass, and the moment after passing the ball, he quickly ran forward!

Bai Ran naturally understood, and did not stop the ball at all. He directly raised the outside of his foot and passed the ball over the top for a two-pass, making the opponent's defender run around!

Good ball! Beautiful pass!

Rodriguez pushed the ball and the ball went into the net!

3-0!

The gap is getting bigger and bigger! The opponent's players have been stunned!

Rodriguez jumped on Bai Ran and celebrated with his fists passionately, and everyone's heart was relieved.

At this point, the game was almost over.

There was about half an hour left, and the opponent was three goals behind. The opponent had been beaten black and blue and had no power to fight back.

At this moment, Zidane finally made the decision to replace Bai Ran with Vic.

Bai Ran went off the court and shook hands with Vic for the substitution. He also shook hands with Zidane and nodded in greeting.

His performance in this game was pretty good, and the opponent was not strong, so there was nothing to say.

Sitting on the sidelines, Bai Ran watched the game for a while. The scene was very dull. Without himself as an offensive fulcrum, Castilla's offensive desire was not strong.

The opponent also knew that they were defeated, so they simply saved their physical strength and insisted on finishing the game, which became their primary goal.

Bai Ran sat on the sidelines and looked at his mobile phone boredly.

But as soon as he opened the news on his mobile phone, he found something!

I don’t know when it started, but the Internet was flooded with doubts and insults against Benítez!

"What's going on?"

Bai Ran was very confused and asked his substitute teammate.

His teammate looked down at Bai Ran's phone and saw all the messages mocking Benítez. He immediately understood what Bai Ran wanted to ask.

"Oh, you're talking about this!"

"Don't you know?"

Bai Ran shook his head blankly.

His teammate said, "Real Madrid lost to Sevilla. The Internet is full of people scolding the head coach. Don't you know?"

"2-1!"

Bai Ran suddenly realized that this was the case!

Before this, Benítez had already been ridiculed and criticized in public opinion. This time he lost to Sevilla again, and it was normal for the Internet to scold him.

However, Bai Ran had tried out for Real Madrid. He felt that the players there were actually quite harmonious. Was the problem with the Real Madrid players?

In Bai Ran's eyes, it was not the case.

The problem was the players' attitude, opinion and state towards the coach.

As a controversial coach, Benítez has made great changes to their system since he came to Real Madrid, but he couldn't convince the locker room.

Especially the superstars in the frontcourt, such as Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale.

It is difficult to let them complete active defense in the game, and Benítez dare not act rashly, so he has to attack James Rodriguez.

Some people say that the striker is the first line of defense of the team. The cowardly and sensitive Benítez is afraid that he can't control the team, so he doesn't defend the frontcourt at all.

This puts a sudden increase in pressure on Toni Kroos and Modric in the midfield!

Although facing most teams, their pressure will not be too great, after all, Real Madrid's paper strength is here.

But when facing strong enemies, the two midfield superstars will fall into a dilemma and struggle. After all, the two are not professional defensive midfielders responsible for defense, and it will be very difficult to cope with them.

So there is a reason why Benítez's performance is not good.

There are various comments on the Internet.

"Get out of here! Real Madrid doesn't need you!"

"We thought you could bring change to Real Madrid, but we didn't expect this result. You've disappointed us!"

"Get out of here!"

"Benitez's joining was a scam! Now it's time to expose it!"

"If the top management doesn't let Benitez go, it means that Real Madrid is rotten from the inside."

Almost all the Internet is scolding Benitez, and the leader of the Galacticos has been pushed to the forefront of the football world in an instant.

It seems that these days, there are rumors about Benitez's dismissal every day, but there has been no substantial progress!

Not only fans, but also the media and reporters are paying special attention to this news!

Even several media have issued questionnaires, specifically asking members who play in the Bernabeu.

The questionnaires are all very sensitive topics, and one is particularly prominent.

"Do you think Benítez should be fired?"

It is touching that 80% of the fans gave the answer to this question - he should be fired!

Bai Ran was also a little worried about what happened in Real Madrid. After all, he was in Real Madrid B team and was on the same rope as them.

The rise and fall of Real Madrid also determined his own value.

After the game, Bai Ran immediately returned home and kept an eye on the news.

Days passed, but this kind of negative news did not decrease at all, but increased every day.

Hotly discussed posts were pinned to the top of the hot comments one after another, and it seemed that the peak of public opinion had reached its climax!

These days, Bai Ran also saw many reporters reveal that the dissatisfaction with Benítez in the Real Madrid locker room had reached an unprecedented peak.

C Ronaldo: "He can't win any championship in Real Madrid."

Ramos: "I don't want to talk about him now. Real Madrid is playing football completely with these players. It has nothing to do with the head coach."

Benzema: "He is too independent and completely ignores that the main body of a team is the players, not himself."

These remarks put Benítez under great pressure all the time!

In the next week, there was no peaceful day for this top club.

Gradually, Benítez was overwhelmed by these things, lost his confidence, and had no time to deal with other things.

Time passed quickly, and Real Madrid also ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage. Real Madrid once again faced the rising Paris Saint-Germain.

This time, the Real Madrid players were very lucky. After Nacho scored a goal, they did not lose the ball in the face of Paris's bombardment.

In the end, Paris was defeated with a small score difference of 1-0.

Real Madrid thus advanced to the Champions League knockout stage.

This game also reduced the pressure of public opinion on Benítez. Although it was more due to luck and the players' own strength, the game was won after all.

If it weren't for the victory over Paris in this key Champions League game, the fans would probably be even more dissatisfied!

On the other hand, Castilla also challenged CD Guadalajara away and won another game.

Now Castilla has won 13 consecutive games and is unstoppable!

But in the next schedule, Real Madrid's first team attracted more attention.

After all, this is a focus of the world, the national derby!

Real Madrid VS Barcelona!
