Chapter 153 Madrid Derby!

According to Bai Ran's understanding of the schedule, Real Madrid will host Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium on the last day of February 28, 2016!

Atletico's performance this season is very impressive, and Griezmann has become Atletico's strongest wing thigh.

And their lineup naturally includes well-known stars such as Fernando Torres, Saul, and Koke.

Bai Ran also knows that it is 2016 now, and Atletico was full of stars at that time. Juanfran, Godin, and Felipe Luis were still in front of Atletico's goal as defenders, firmly grasping the goal.

Even if they have been humiliated by Barcelona this season, it is because Barcelona's dominance is too strong, and it does not mean that this Atletico is weak.

The mission against Atletico is most likely to be interrupted. This is a traditional strong team in Spain!

If I don't play well in this game and don't cause three goals, I guess this mission will have to be calculated from the beginning.

Fortunately, Real Madrid played at home in this round of games. They were familiar with the venue and had the support of the fans, so Real Madrid still had the advantage.

Bai Ran also knew that he couldn't put too much psychological pressure on himself before the game, and just told himself to do his best.

If he could complete the task and defeat Atletico, everyone would be happy.

But if he only won a small victory over Atletico and didn't score three goals, there would be no loss. He could just start over.

Bai Ran knew Atletico very well, and he also checked some information before the game.

The team's ability to steal is very strong, especially their back line is in its prime, in good shape, and at the golden age of the players. The iron wall formed by them is not so easy to be torn apart.

And their ability to compete for high balls is also unique. The data in previous games showed that they rarely lost goals in the opponent's set pieces, because their defense ability is still very impressive.

However, in the offensive line, Atletico's advantage lies in long-range shooting. Carrasco, Koke, Griezmann, and Saul cannot be said to be all long-range shooting masters, but at least almost all of them have the ability to shoot from a distance.

Some individuals may not be able to shoot with high quality, but when the opportunity arises, he will not be afraid to shoot!

Atletico's team also scores a lot of long-range shots!

But Bai Ran found a problem. When Atletico faces players with outstanding individual abilities, they often appear helpless!

They are good at teamwork and are not good at marking a certain prominent point on the field.

This feature makes Bai Ran very happy. On the field, he is such an explosive point!

And unlike the explosive point on the wing, his position and tactics belong to the whole field...

On the eve of the game, Bai Ran went to the training ground as usual in the morning to participate in training. On the way, he passed by the gate of Real Madrid's base and took a newspaper at Baoting.

On it, Bai Ran saw a piece of news-

It was a report from "Mundo Deportivo"!

It clearly said: "Atletico's iron-blooded defense shows its tough style, Real Madrid's talented midfielder may not be able to defeat the Colchoneros!"

Oh?

Game preview?

Bai Ran was very interested, but after seeing this title, he felt a little unhappy.

Did this media receive money from Atletico?

Why do you say this about yourself!

If I guessed correctly, the "Real Madrid talented midfielder" must be Bai Ran, but the media actually speculated that he could not break through Atletico's defense in this game. Where did this come from!

Bai Ran read the report of this article, and the content was roughly:

"Bai Ran is not good at physical collision and technical evasion, while Atletico Madrid has strong defensive ability, tough style of play, and strong average physical fitness. Bai Ran may have to end his previous performance momentum in this game."

"Besides, according to statistics, Bai Ran had a high frequency of threatening balls as a Real Madrid midfielder before, but most of them were high-altitude balls. Atletico Madrid is quite accomplished in defending high-altitude balls, and the average height is very impressive!"

"There is another situation. Although Bai Ran just got the European Golden Boy, he will definitely not adapt to such a defensive team."

"Combining the above factors, we expect Real Madrid to tie with Atletico Madrid in this game, or even lose with a small ball."

"The reason is ultimately due to Atletico Madrid's restrictions and restraint on Bai Ran. With this relationship, Real Madrid is destined to have a hard time playing this game."

Snap!

Bai Ran closed the newspaper. What a mess!

Some so-called "experts" are just trying to attract attention and cheat bettors out of their money. What nonsense!

Bai Ran didn't take the news seriously, but an idea came to his mind.

A firm idea.

He must perform well in this game to show the fans whether he, the European golden boy, can break through Atletico's defense!

Outside the Bernabeu Stadium.

The place is already crowded. This match is the peak competition of the La Liga. It is a contest between strong players. You can imagine how popular it is!

Countless fans came to the scene. Those who couldn't get tickets also blocked outside the gate of the Bernabeu. They just wanted to see their favorite stars in person!

And many media also appeared here with cameras, ready to record the preparations of these star players before the game.

Seeing Bai Ran arrive, someone shouted: "Bai Ran! Bai Ran is here!"

Everyone rushed up and surrounded Bai Ran!

"Oh my God, it's really Bai Ran!"

The reporters took their microphones and cameras and asked Bai Ran crazy questions!

"Hello, Bai Ran! Are you confident about this game!"

"What does it mean to you to become the latest European Golden Boy?"

"Mr. Bai Ran, wait a minute, I have a few questions raised by fans here. Can you answer them?"

Bai Ran ignored these reporters, but continued to walk towards the gate of the Bernabeu with his backpack on his back and his hands in his pockets.

Further inside, there were some fanatical football fans.

"Bai Ran! Come on, Bai Ran! Beat Atletico Madrid at home!"

"I'm your die-hard fan! Bai Ran, can you give me an autograph!"

Bai Ran was indifferent to the media, but he couldn't bear to be cruel to his fans!

These fans still loved Bai Ran, just like Bai Ran loved these fans. What he said at the award ceremony was not just a polite remark, but really came from the heart. Without the support of the fans, he wouldn't have come this far!

So Bai Ran took the fans' pens as much as possible and signed the jerseys and footballs they handed over.

At this time, a crazy female fan squeezed out of the crowd, in a hurry and very embarrassed.

But it was not difficult to see that the girl had blonde hair and blue eyes, and her delicate face was very lovely. She was an absolute beauty!

And when she was running, it was hard not to notice the surging waves on her chest... too surging.

Bai Ran couldn't help but be shocked!

The girl came up to Bai Ran, looking very excited!

"Bai Ran! I like you so much, can you sign for me?"

For such an enthusiastic fan, Bai Ran nodded, smiled politely, and took the pen from the female fan.

At this time, the female fan put her hair behind her neck, raised her towering chest, and her proud size suddenly appeared in front of her!

Facing this scene, Bai Ran was inevitably stunned for a moment.

"Huh?"

"Isn't it an autograph? Where do you sign?"

"Didn't you prepare a jersey or a football?"

The female fan was not polite, with an intriguing and ambiguous smile on her lips, and raised her scary two balls, saying: "Sign here!"

"I like you very much, I am your number one fan!"

"Sign here for me, I will go back and tattoo your handwriting!"

Ah this...

Bai Ran looked at the waves that rose and fell with the girl's breathing, swallowed his saliva, and inevitably blushed...

This is not good!

At this moment, a large group of fans nearby started to make a noise.

"Oh!!!"

"Sign! Sign! Sign!"

"Bai Ran is like a man. We can't be scared by a little girl like her!"

"Why be polite! Just grab her and write!"

"No, let me do it! Hahaha!"

Bai Ran's face darkened. The people around him started to make a noise. It would be bad if he refused the fans' autograph.

So he pursed his lips, grabbed the girl's arm, and quickly wrote the word "Bai Ran" on her arm.

"This tattoo is more suitable for you."

Bai Ran patted the girl's shoulder, returned the pen to her, and walked away, stepping into the Bernabeu.

Although the autograph was not in the place she wanted, the physical contact with Bai Ran still made her feel like she was electrocuted!

This is Bai Ran, the European Golden Boy! The talented young player of Real Madrid!

And he is so handsome!

It's such an honor! This girl must be so happy that she is about to faint!

After entering the Bernabeu training ground, the players are queuing up for routine physical examinations.

This is actually a part of every game. It is to test their game status. The team doctor will evaluate and test their physical status.

In order to ensure that the players enter the field with a healthy body, so as not to play before the injury is healed, leading to more serious consequences.

In the end, all the players of Real Madrid passed the test, except Bale.

The team doctor found that his muscles were a little tense and his condition was not very good. If he played, the best time was within 45 minutes. If he played more, it would easily cause muscle damage.

This is the test report submitted by Real Madrid's team doctor to Zidane.

Zidane took a quick look, nodded, and came to the locker room.

In the locker room, the players have already started preparing for the next game.

Ronaldo was doing stretching exercises, Ramos shook his cervical spine, making a clicking sound, and Modric was discussing defensive skills and the technical characteristics of the opponent's players with Carvajal beside him. Bai Ran and Marcelo were also discussing some unexpected set-piece tactics.

"Ahem."

Zidane coughed twice after entering the door, and everyone fell silent.

He still has command and status in the team. If it were Benítez, no one would pay attention to him.

At this time, all the Real Madrid players looked over attentively.

"Tell everyone about today's tactics."

There was still a long time before the game started, and Zidane specifically asked everyone to gather in advance so that he could give them a temporary lesson, so that the players could fully understand his ideas and use their own tactical thinking to firmly implement them.

"My team will use a 442 formation in this game."

The players were concentrating on listening to Zidane's speech.

Zidane continued: "C Ronaldo, Benzema, partner forward."

"C Ronaldo plays the role of a forward, making full use of your speed and physical advantages, tearing open enough space and creating threatening opportunities."

"Benzema, you have to play the role of an all-around forward in this game, support C Ronaldo, pass more, rely more on your body to solve problems, and retreat when necessary. If the opportunity is good, you can also try to shoot."

Due to the characteristics of C Ronaldo's position, as a forward, he does not need to retreat to defend or respond, so this task naturally falls on Benzema.

It is also possible that Benzema's title of scapegoat was born from this time.

"Right winger, Asensio, left winger, Isco."

"My lineup is designed to free up the two wings, but my goal is definitely not to let you fly on both wings!"

"When the ball comes to the frontcourt, the two wingers should communicate with each other. There must be one person in the penalty area to cooperate with Ronaldo to bomb. You need to insert into the opponent's penalty area without the ball to find opportunities for yourself, but make sure there are defensive teammates behind you to help you fill in the space."

"Yeah." Isco and Asensio nodded, remembering Zidane's instructions.

And then, Zidane continued: "Modric, you need to play the role of an all-around midfielder and participate more in defense. Passing and organization can adjust the position according to the overall formation."

"When the forward is trying to grab the point, the full-back must insert to assist the attack. At this time, the task of our first line of defense is completely handed over to you. You must pay attention."

"Bai Ran."

Bai Ran heard Zidane calling him, so he looked at the coach.

"Yeah."

Zidane looked deeply at his beloved disciple. In this game, Zidane put all his hopes on Bai Ran.

"This is your first time trying this position, but I have confidence in you."

"You have to play a role as a midfielder organizer!"

Bai Ran was slightly stunned. It seems that there has never been such a word in Zidane's tactics before.

This set of tactics is also a 442 formation with Zidane's unique characteristics developed by Zidane himself, which is only used when fighting against strong teams.

As a coach, Zidane certainly knows that in the traditional 442 formation, this organizer is the core position of this lineup, and the player's ability value is required to be high!

Especially the ability value of vision and creativity.

Because there is only such an organizer player in the whole game, he will have a lot of ball possession, whether to distribute it to the wing or directly to the frontcourt players is up to him.

Therefore, Bai Ran's performance is perfect, this is a gorgeous game, and Bai Ran's performance is not good, this is a disaster!

This is why Zidane put all his hopes on Bai Ran. This is a real gamble.

"You are responsible for the offensive and defensive hub of the team in your position, including Modric around you."

"You need to keep your attention at all times and observe the situation around you. When your teammates pass the ball to you, the life of Real Madrid is in your hands."

"You face the backcourt, Real Madrid defends, you face the frontcourt, Real Madrid attacks!"

Bai Ran's position is equivalent to the life gate of Real Madrid!

Zidane's arrangement made Bai Ran swallow his saliva. The task assigned to him by the coach was too heavy.

But he is absolutely confident that he can do it!

To a certain extent, the tactical position of this position is the kind that can definitely influence the entire game by one person!

Bai Ran feels that he can definitely do it!

Zidane continued: "Remember the position I gave you during the Castilla period?"

Bai Ran nodded. Of course he remembered, and he remembered it clearly.

"Free man in the frontcourt."

Zidane gave a positive answer, and then said: "If you don't fully understand, I can tell you this."

"For example, your position is here."

As he said, Zidane took out a red magnet and sucked it into the center circle of the tactical board.

"Before, as a front free man, you need to play all positions in the front court."

"Including here, here, and..."

As he said, Zidane covered the front court of the tactical board with red magnets.

"But now, you only need to stand in the midfield."

"And do you know who these points are?"

Bai Ran glanced at the tactical board and wondered: "Aren't these the positions I need to run to when I play as a free man?"

Zidane shook his head, and a strange color flashed in his eyes!

"No!"

"This is Ronaldo, this is Benzema!"

"This is Isco!"

"Asensio, Marcelo, Carvajal."

"This is Modric!"

As he spoke, Zidane pointed out all the chess pieces to Bai Ran.

Zidane's words made Bai Ran understand the coach's intentions instantly!

So this is how the core of the organization should play...

In this game, he seemed to be cooperating with himself back then!

So this is what happened, Bai Ran suddenly realized it!

Zidane's tactical analysis ends here. Their midfield lineup is extremely luxurious and can be called the world's top!

The front line lineup is also star-studded. Zidane was very bold and let Bale rest off the court. He did not reuse this general, but re-used Asensio, who had a better attitude.

And Bai Ran gradually took the main position. This game is destined to be very exciting!

Time flies, Zidane simply reminded the players of the things they need to pay attention to again and again, the game is about to start!

Players from both sides stood in the player tunnel and prepared to enter the field!

The roar of fans cheering came from outside, and the Bernabeu was gradually crowded!

The thunderous cheers were endless, and the atmosphere of today's game was really too warm!

The commentator also walked into the studio and picked up the materials in his hand. Adjusting the microphone.

"Hello, audience friends, what we bring to you next is the 26th round of the Spanish La Liga, Real Madrid, home against Atletico Madrid!"
