Chapter 127 Rejected Again!
Bai Ran knew that it was the beginning of 2016, and the coach was still leading the national team in China.
In the previous life, the national team led by this coach performed very poorly in the Asian Cup, and was even involved in a match-fixing scandal. Although it survived in the end, it was probably not completely innocent.
Under such circumstances, Bai Ran would have no way out if he returned to China to play football, and could only become a pawn and a victim.
After all, in this era, a thorough investigation has not happened yet, and the water is still very deep.
Going back is definitely not a wise choice.
Bai Ran also wanted to wear the red flag and serve the country, but in such a situation, is it really worth it for people who are passionate about football to sacrifice their lives and shed blood?
I think the answer is obvious!
Not worth it, not worthy!
Bai Ran finally got a great opportunity to be reborn, and he paid so much hardship and sweat to get to where he is today.
Just let them take it away and spend it at will?
Impossible!
Bai Ran said, "What did they say?"
My mother's voice came again.
"Coach Gao told us that he would offer you a well-paid contract."
"Because you have become famous in Spain, you are well-known in China, and your strength and talent are obvious to all. So if you develop in China, they will also train you with all their strength and make you the core of the national team in the future."
"And... you didn't think about developing there when you first went there, right? Now there is an opportunity, and it's time to come back."
"Would you like to consider it?"
What Bai Ran's mother said was actually not wrong. From the beginning, when Bai Ran went to Madrid, Spain, he planned to go abroad to gild himself, and then be thrown out by Castilla's youth training.
After all, with his initial strength, not to mention Real Madrid, even the youth training of any Chinese football team would not want him!
Thanks to Bai Ran's family being rich and powerful, they spent a huge amount of money on sponsorship after using very strong relationships, and promised Castilla's youth training that if he did not meet the standards within a few months, Bai Ran would be let go immediately.
This made the other side grit their teeth and nodded in agreement.
Back in China, having such a name of Real Madrid Youth Training is enough.
In China, he can walk sideways.
As for Castilla, their coaching staff shook their heads and thought, just treat it as taking a Chinese person on a tour! At worst, he will be released after a while. They have given too much!
Besides, Real Madrid does not need such a useless player. Even if he has connections and money, he can't stay here for a long time without such a high level and strength.
It will not be their business at that time, so just wish them good luck.
But they never expected that the fate of time and space would be intertwined, and the gears of fate began to turn at this moment...
The appearance of Zidane broke all the original plans!
And it just happened that Bai Ran had changed his prince, and he was no longer the Bai Ran he used to be!
His hard-working attitude and rare football talent were all seen by the famous coach, who directly transferred him to Castilla and reused him!
Even now, Bai Ran has stepped up to join the Real Madrid first team, the Galaxy Battleship.
Everything happened so suddenly and irrationally!
Bai Ran's parents were also a little puzzled. Didn't they say that they would send him back in a few months?
But who wouldn't want their son to become a dragon? Since Bai Ran is doing well, they didn't ask much.
Nowadays, Bai Ran has also made his way out of the circle, and has become a popular young star in China.
In this way, the head coach of the national team, Coach Gao, personally came forward and wanted to summon Bai Ran back to China.
Whether it is for the strength of the national team or for commercial value, Bai Ran is very important and very powerful.
And in 2016, the core of the national team's midfield was Zheng Zhi. At that time, Zheng Zhi was already old and showed fatigue, and needed fresh blood to be injected into China's national team.
At this time, Bai Ran turned out!
He shined in Real Madrid, and the news spread back to China, causing a sensation across the country!
Of course, it also alarmed the Chinese Football Association.
Coach Gao then went to Bai Ran's home and visited his mother.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ran blurted out and answered resolutely!
"Mom, I'm fine here."
"When the season ends and I have a holiday, I'll take time to go back to see you."
"I won't accept the national team's affairs."
Ah...
Bai Ran's mother also sighed when she heard his attitude. She didn't know what this child was thinking. It was such an honor to serve the country!
Why refuse?
She didn't know that in the coming years, after the country's strict investigation, the situation would slowly get better.
During this period of time, ordinary people have no way to gain a foothold. Going back can only ruin their careers and become their tools.
Hearing Bai Ran's response, his mother could only helplessly say: "Well, no matter what, the family respects your decision."
"I hope you can develop well there!"
Bai Ran was very relieved that his family would not interfere with him in doing anything.
"Okay, and in the future, as long as there is a call from the national team, please help me reject it. I will not consider returning to join the national team in the next few years."
If they want to rot, let them rot on their own.
Bai Ran will never accompany them to wade into this muddy water.
On the other side, the mother's answer was also very straightforward. After hanging up the phone, Bai Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
For the sake of his dreams and goals in this life, he must be focused.
Not to mention returning to China!
Bai Ran had personally experienced the environment there, which would definitely ruin his future.
With this belief firmed, Bai Ran went to wash up, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep.
The day after the game day, Zidane gave everyone a holiday. Bai Ran discovered one thing, the more top clubs, the more holidays they actually have than the worse teams.
Because the strength of the players in their team is already there, and their talents are also the best in the world, the training is just to keep them in competitive form.
Improving in technology is already very difficult, but everyone's technical characteristics are different, so doing some special exercises is enough.
A week later, Real Madrid is about to usher in a focus game.
In the 20th round of the Spanish La Liga, Real Madrid will play against the newly promoted team, Sporting Gijon, at home in the Bernabeu!
Bai Ran still remembered that Real Madrid was tied by this newly promoted team during Benítez's time, which became a shame for the Bernabeu.
This time, Real Madrid must win back.
This is a revenge battle!
Although Bai Ran's status in Real Madrid is not that high, and he may not play in the game, he goes all out in daily training and is always ready for the day when the team needs him.
In the next few days, Bai Ran also received a very surprising news.
That is, his old teammate who used to fight with Castilla, Vasquez, was also promoted to Real Madrid!
Bai Ran actually still remembered that in the previous life, the timeline was not like this.
Vazquez is indeed a star of Real Madrid, but in the original world, Vazquez was loaned to Espanyol by Real Madrid B team Castilla in 2014.
It was not until 2015 that Real Madrid bought back this all-round player for one million euros.
It seems that Bai Ran's arrival really affected many of the original stories, and history has also changed dramatically.
Vazquez did not go to Espanyol at all in this world, but followed his own pace and came directly from Castilla to Real Madrid.
After arriving at Real Madrid, Vazquez seemed a little panicked, and it was Bai Ran who took him to meet everyone, and then they became one.
Vazquez often asked in surprise: "Bai Ran, didn't you come a few days earlier than me? How come you are so familiar with them!?"
Bai Ran lowered his head and thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
Could it be that he really has such a strong personality charm?
Let these Real Madrid stars naturally like me and accept me?
Facing Vasquez's question, Bai Ran could only spread his hands and expressed helplessness.
"Play well, as long as you are strong, you will win everyone's respect."
The answer he gave was indeed correct, but not entirely correct.
After Bai Ran came to Real Madrid, his performance of one goal and one assist as a substitute was deeply imprinted in the hearts of Real Madrid players. They recognized that this child had a promising future and was very strong.
Moreover, this was a very rare Asian who was unfamiliar with the place, so he was given more care, which was natural between teammates.
And Bai Ran's relationship with Zidane was also a very critical point.
In the past few days, they gradually knew that Zidane and Bai Ran had an unusual relationship. It can be said that he was Zidane's inner disciple. With Zidane's protection, they must have a good relationship with Bai Ran, otherwise if they offended the head coach, the consequences would be very serious.
If it was the fat man Benítez, no one would care about his feelings, but this is Zidane!
Not only is his level higher than Benítez, but his leadership in the locker room is also extraordinary.
And unlike other clubs, this is Real Madrid, and the name Zidane is already very intimidating.
Of course, Real Madrid also prepared a private room for Vasquez, and the treatment is the same, but Vasquez is now integrated into the star-studded locker room of Real Madrid, and must be led by Bai Ran, otherwise he will be easily excluded and it will be difficult to have a sense of belonging.
Time flies, and soon it is the match day.
Bai Ran shined in the match between Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna. He made a perfect debut as a substitute and scored a goal. Therefore, he was still included in the roster for this game and sat on the bench.
The fans also had a very high voice for Bai Ran, because Bai Ran was tied to Zidane. Now that Benítez was gone, everyone hoped that this Real Madrid could explode again under Zidane's hands.
Naturally, Bai Ran also became the focus of everyone's attention.
The fans' voices were very high, and some even said that Bai Ran should be the main player!
"Bai Ran and Zidane will definitely change Real Madrid! The signs were already seen in the last game!"
"This kid has a bright future, I am optimistic about him."
"He should be the starter! Zidane really doesn't dare to use anyone. If it were me, I would definitely arrange Bai Ran to start!"
"I hope this master-disciple pair can help Real Madrid reverse its decline and continue to be great!"
Various media were also very active before the start of this game, and found many Real Madrid fans and even members of the coaching staff for interviews.
There are also many contributors who expressed their own views and are full of expectations for Bai Ran.
"I personally think that Bai Ran will dominate the midfield position in La Liga for the next ten years."
"Bai Ran is a terrifying existence. Those who have seen his previous games should know that I think as long as he is on the court, he can create opportunities!"
"I also look forward to Bai Ran's appearance in this game. Last time Real Madrid was tied by Sporting Gijon, they want to avenge the previous shame today. Bai Ran is a natural killer, I believe Zidane will not use him."
"This kid from the Castilla youth training team may become a core member of the Galacticos!"
These news were known to everyone before the game, and the tickets for this game were also sold very well.
They all want to see how Real Madrid has changed after Zidane's arrival.
They also want to observe what kind of magical power the young Chinese player who is now being hyped has.
The lights of the Bernabeu are bright, shining on the faces of every fan who comes here for his reputation.
The commentator in the studio has also started the live broadcast, bringing this unique event to all fans.
Today, the attendance rate of the Bernabeu is also very high, almost the same as Zidane's first game. Real Madrid fans are enthusiastic and very satisfied with this coaching change.
The famous Spanish commentator sorted out the information, adjusted his state, and started the live broadcast.
"Hello, audience friends, now we bring you a focus battle in the 20th round of La Liga in the 2015-16 season, which is Real Madrid, playing at home against Sporting Gijon."
"Before this, Real Madrid was also tied by this newly promoted team, but now their coach is the legendary star Zidane. Let's see if they can get these three points."
"Currently Real Madrid is very competitive in the La Liga. In the La Liga standings, Real Madrid ranks third with 12 wins, 4 draws, 3 losses and 40 points in 19 rounds. Sporting Gijon has 4 wins, 3 draws and 11 losses, and has 15 points, currently ranking 18th. "
"Real Madrid and Sporting Gijon have played against each other 83 times in the league history. Real Madrid has 46 wins, 24 draws, and only lost to Sporting Gijon 13 times. This record shows that they still have a very strong advantage."
"It is a coincidence that the first opening game of this league was the game where Sporting Gijon tied Real Madrid. At that time, Real Madrid's coach was still Benítez."
At this point, the fans cheered.
Indeed, as the commentator said, Benítez's previous record was somewhat unsightly. After he left, Zidane's arrival obviously revitalized this Real Madrid.
They had seen an interview with Zidane before. He said that Ronaldo was the soul of Real Madrid. As he said, on the court, Zidane obviously put Ronaldo in an indelible position in tactics, a striker with unlimited firing rights.
Ronaldo had previously stated that he would use goals to repay the coach's trust, and this Real Madrid team is on the right track.
Then, the commentator began to introduce the lineups of both teams in this game.
"Well, we can see that Zidane still brought us a 433 formation today. The starting players are goalkeeper Navas, the two center positions are French international Varane and Pepe from Portugal, and the full-backs are Brazilian Marcelo and Carvajal, who was born in Real Madrid."
"On the front line, it is still led by Ronaldo, partnered with Benzema and Bale to form a trident, and Modric is in the midfield, as well as Toni Kroos and Isco."
At this time, there was a name on the list that made the commentator's eyes light up.
"Oh! The Asian Bai Ran who came on as a substitute in the last game is also in Zidane's substitute lineup today. This player used to play for Real Madrid's B team, and later he was promoted to Real Madrid with Zidane. He is a very talented young player!"
"After the last game, everyone paid close attention to him. I wonder if he will have a chance to appear on stage again today!"
Then, the commentator began to introduce the players of Sporting Gijon. After the narration, the game was about to kick off and officially began.
The Real Madrid team song sounded in the Bernabeu, and the fans of Real Madrid applauded to support the players. Ronaldo and Benzema also responded to the fans with applause.
Bai Ran sat on the bench nearby, waiting to be called at any time.
The return of the legendary star Zidane eliminated the discordant factors in the Real Madrid team, and the team reached unprecedented unity.
The referee blew the whistle, and Real Madrid took the lead!
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid launched a series of attacks on Sporting Gijon, which were of very good quality and extremely threatening.
It seems that Zidane's tactical adjustment is very reasonable. Targeted changes are made to the weaknesses and strengths of each opponent. This is the way of a great head coach, rather than applying a template to play all games.
The opponent set up an iron bucket formation, and the play of 5 defenders and double defensive midfielders made Real Madrid's offense a bit tricky.
After holding the ball, Ronaldo handed it to the midfielder, Modric opened up space and handed it back to Ronaldo, and Ronaldo shook off the defender outside the penalty area and shot a volley!
The ball was saved by the goalkeeper, but it was a close call!
On the other side, Benzema dribbled into the penalty area and passed it to Bale who was on the wing. Bale made a cross, but the penalty area was too chaotic and it was difficult to head the ball!
Facing the opponent's bus tactics, Real Madrid seemed helpless for a moment.
Sporting Gijon is really a tough nut to crack!
The previous game ended in a 0-0 draw, and the opponent used this routine. It seems that they still want to repeat the same trick.
Their defense line is tight and shrinking. Unless they shoot from a long distance or cross from the bottom to find an opportunity, the ball can't enter the penalty area at all.
For a moment, the situation on the field began to become tense...
