Chapter 203 An Unexpected Incident! Modric's Burning Will!

With doubts, Bai Ran followed Modric out of the room.

In the room, the players were talking in a mess, and no one seemed to notice the departure of the two players.

Modric took Bai Ran to the corridor, and Bai Ran hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Is there anything?"

Modric frowned and sighed.

"Bai Ran."

"The next game is against Real Sociedad."

"I'm very likely not to play."

Huh?

Bai Ran was stunned when he heard this.

Although he is the absolute core of Real Madrid's tactical system now, all this is inseparable from Modric's support.

Many passes and assists are because Modric attracted the defense, which made Bai Ran complete so comfortably.

And his steals and desperate running in the midfield are also a key factor for Real Madrid to get the ball and switch from defense to offense.

The absence of Modric in the game is a big weakening. Modric's significance in this Real Madrid is far beyond people's imagination.

Bai Ran asked quickly, "Why?"

A trace of loneliness flashed in Modric's eyes.

It seemed that something regrettable had happened to him.

"I might have been injured in the last game against Manchester City."

"After that game, I felt something was wrong."

Bai Ran frowned instantly. The team lost such a general. The next few games... will be very uncertain!

"Where do you feel uncomfortable? Go to the team doctor to check it out!"

Modric shook his head.

"Once I was fighting with Fernandinho, I got the ball and turned to pass it to Cristiano. At that time, I guess my body was twisted too much and my knees couldn't bear it."

"After that, I always felt that my knees hurt, and I had this feeling after the game."

"In fact, I didn't care too much after that. I thought it would be fine after a while, but it's been two days and it's still the same. I suspect it's a cruciate ligament injury."

Cruciate ligament injury! ?

Bai Ran looked at Modric in shock. This place can't be ignored. Many stars have affected their entire careers because of injuries in this place!

If you don't pay attention, it will be a serious injury!

"It's so serious! Tell the coach and the team doctor quickly!"

Modric sighed with his hands on his waist, looking thoughtful, but hesitant.

"No, Bai Ran."

"I came to you today to tell you that I may not be able to play in the next game. The only midfielders who can partner with you are Kroos and Rodriguez."

"These two players have strong organizational skills, but almost no defensive ability. Their playing style is not that tough, and they are not very motivated to run. You know, they don't have that much physical strength."

"So I want to tell you that you may have to take on some midfield defense tasks."

Bai Ran's face was very anxious. It was not only about the subsequent games. Modric was not only his teammate, but also had a good personal relationship with him off the court. If he was injured, Bai Ran would be very worried.

"Don't talk about this for now, the injury is important!"

"Let's go, I'll take you to the medical room."

Just when Bai Ran wanted to drag Modric to the medical area in the base, Modric grabbed him with his backhand.

Bai Ran turned back suddenly and saw the burning eyes and hot emotions in Modric's eyes.

That was a desire for victory, and the kind of passion of throwing oneself into the fire without hesitation!

"You don't want to..." A look of shock flashed in Bai Ran's eyes, and goose bumps all over his body!

Modric looked solemn and nodded at Bai Ran.

This directly fulfilled Bai Ran's thoughts...

Modric actually wanted to hide his injury from the Real Madrid team!

He wanted to take a break and then continue to participate in the next game!

"Don't be kidding, how is it possible!"

"No, I'm going to take you to the medical room, follow me!"

Bai Ran's attitude was very firm, but Modric was even more awe-inspiring!

"Bai Ran, I know that with your current ability, you can't do without a role like me."

"You will definitely win this game against Real Sociedad, but the next game is more critical."

"I must participate."

Bai Ran looked at Modric's burning eyes and slowly loosened his arms.

Afterwards, Modric took Bai Ran to the players' rest area, sat on a chair, and slowly said: "This Real Madrid has been questioned by the outside world since last season."

"You hadn't come yet at that time, and the coach was still Ancelotti."

"In fact, we had a very good chance of winning every championship that year, but the injury problem in the team was too serious, and the shortage of personnel occurred repeatedly, leaving Ancelotti in a situation where no one was available."

Bai Ran also knew some of these situations, some of which were information he knew in his previous life, and some of which were told to him by Zidane.

Modric continued: "For this reason, we didn't win any championship this season, which became a thorn in the hearts of all of us."

"Every time we step onto the court, this thorn will pierce our hearts, and it is still the same until now."

"Then Ancelotti left Real Madrid and Benítez took office."

Bai Ran had heard this story himself. He was playing for Castilla, the second team, at the time and knew a lot about the first team.

"I thought that with the rest of our injured players, Real Madrid would be refreshed. The new season is a new journey and our prospects are very high."

"But things did not go as planned. You can see that Benítez is just a puppet and a tool."

"He can't coach this Real Madrid at all. He can't even handle the relationship in the locker room."

"The outside world is overwhelming, saying that this Real Madrid has declined and is about to fall into a dark period lasting decades."

"But at this time, Zidane came and brought you with him."

"This made our whole team exude the vitality of rebirth. You and your master have made indelible contributions to the continuous victory until now."

"This is also something none of us expected. It's too dreamy."

At this point, Bai Ran also lowered his head.

Modric paused and continued, "Now the two championship trophies are in front of me, I really can't give up."

"If I bet with my career, I am willing to do it."

Bai Ran was a substitute for ten thousand years in his previous life, and he understood Modric's mood at this moment.

He also experienced the troubles of injuries, but he was immune to injuries, so he survived. But even so, he still lay in bed for a week.

The feeling of watching the players walk into the bus to fight, but he couldn't control the situation, don't mention how uncomfortable it was.

He remembered the feeling of lying in bed and watching his teammates go to the battle, and no one could understand that sadness.

"I respect your choice."

Finally, Bai Ran nodded.

The cruciate ligament part, if it is serious, it can directly reimburse the career, if it is not serious, it is just a matter of delay.

Modric knew that if he told the team about this situation, Zidane would never let him play, and he would miss the next few key games.

He didn't want to face this situation, so he chose to conceal it.

Bai Ran could understand Modric's idea, but he still couldn't help but worry about him.

Then Modric nodded, patted Bai Ran on the shoulder, and left the lounge.

Bai Ran should think carefully about how he should take on the defensive work in the next game against Real Sociedad when Modric was injured.

Then Bai Ran made up his mind and walked to Zidane's office.

When Zidane saw Bai Ran coming, he was suddenly stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Ran resolutely said, "Coach, I want to improve my defensive ability."

"Is there any defensive knowledge or video that you can show me that can quickly improve my defensive ability in a short time."

Zidane was stunned for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

"This is not something you should worry about, go back to training."

"I'll take care of the tactical matters."

"I won't let you participate in defense, just play football with peace of mind."

And Bai Ran's attitude was so firm that even Zidane was shocked!

"Coach, I must learn!"

"Defense has always been my weakness, you know that."

"Mo..." Bai Ran was about to blurt out Modric, but he took it back.

"In short, if I want to become a qualified all-around midfielder, I can't have too obvious shortcomings."

"Let me learn!"

Zidane looked at Bai Ran with admiration.

The reason why Zidane refused is that defense requires years of game experience to accumulate. After a long time, you will naturally understand many skills and form your own unique defensive style.

Or it can be said that defenders are getting more and more powerful as they get older, and they generally reach the peak of their careers when they are over 30 years old. In fact, this is the case.

As Bai Ran is the absolute combat power of Real Madrid at this time, Zidane is not in a hurry to let Bai Ran practice defense.

But since his beloved disciple is so eager to improve himself, he must not refuse!

After all, it is a good thing.

So Zidane said, "Okay, I'll sort out some information for you when I get home tonight, you can take a look first."

"Don't worry about the specific training matters, take a look at the theoretical knowledge first."

"I'll tell you the specific relevant matters in the future training."

Bai Ran finally got what he wanted, nodded and thanked Zidane, and then the long-lost voice of the system appeared in his mind.

[Ding! ]

[Task prompt: Watch the information on defensive skills]

[Reward: Defense-specific attribute points +5! ]

Bai Ran happily took it. To be honest, it is still simple and crude to add attribute points directly.

When he pulled the field of vision to 92 at once, he looked up at the stadium, and the layering of each position jumped out of the paper, as if he had a God's perspective.

The so-called skill cards can only be triggered on the court. It is supposed to be much more practical than increasing your own panel, but the enhancement brought by adding points directly is visible to the naked eye. This sense of accomplishment cannot be compared with anything else.

Tomorrow is the match day, Bai Ran plans to finish reading all the information today, no matter how long it takes.

So now, Bai Ran is on his way home.

After returning home, Bai Ran simply washed up, and the computer made a sound. He took a look at the message and found that Zidane had indeed sent him the information.

These are all videos of midfield defensive masters.

The first player that Bai Ran noticed was Makelele.

Before joining Chelsea in the Premier League in 2003, the Frenchman honed his skills at Real Madrid. After coming to the Premier League, he made the whole of Europe tremble with his superb defensive coverage and interception and running abilities on the field.

His defensive ability is extremely strong and he is almost everywhere on the field.

And there are also video highlights of Brazilian stars like Dunga. As a hard-line defensive midfielder, his role is not just as simple as a defensive warrior. His outside foot straight pass has always been amazing.

In the game, he can also play the role of a midfield engine, and can often tear the opponent's defense with accurate long passes from the backcourt.

As the fulcrum of the entire Brazilian team, his passes are always neither fast nor slow, but the timing and position are always just right.

Through these videos, Bai Ran's knowledge has once again become much broader.

It seems that in order to do a good job of defense, corresponding endurance and physical fitness are also indispensable.

But defense is not just about being fierce, it also requires a lot of skills and predictive ability.

This is why older players are better at defense.

After a night of study, Bai Ran's eyelids were so sleepy that he was fighting, but he still insisted on staring at the computer screen.

Modric has persisted for the future of the team, so why shouldn't he work hard?

Finally, at four o'clock in the morning, Bai Ran finished reading the entire document.

According to Zidane, this is a week's worth of information!

Bai Ran finished reading everything in just one night.

Although the efficiency of absorption is not very high, at least the task is completed.

[Ding! ]

[Task completed! ]

[Defense attribute points +5! ]

[Current defense: 50! ]

Bai Ran still remembers that his defense was 41 before, and now it has increased to 50 after adding five points.

It seems that the training with everyone these days has also been fruitful.

A lot of attributes have been added!

But the defense is still 10 points away from the position of an all-around midfielder.

I still have to work harder in the future.

Without time to think, Bai Ran fell asleep immediately.

The next day, they were about to embark on the field to compete with Real Sociedad.

This game is the third to last game of the league for Real Madrid, which is particularly crucial.

In the current La Liga standings, Real Madrid leads all teams and is 3 points ahead of Barcelona.

Two consecutive draws have caused Barcelona's momentum to decline, and winning the championship is already in jeopardy.

Real Madrid is getting braver and braver, attacking the city one after another, and the state is getting better and better.

It's just that I don't know whether Modric's injury will affect the situation in the future.

The next day, the game day is coming.

Real Madrid is going to a new journey and is about to come to the Anoeta Stadium to challenge Real Sociedad away.

Real Sociedad did not rotate personnel, and the players on the field were basically the main players.

Like Ilaramendi, Xavi Prieto, and Bruma in the frontcourt, they are all among them.

Although Real Sociedad is also a team of Real Madrid in La Liga, it is an official game after all, and they have to try their best. Although they are not as hard-working as Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​they also have to take it seriously.

Real Madrid will naturally fight for victory with all their strength!

Zidane suddenly received a message before the game.

Modric found Zidane and said that he was feeling a little uncomfortable.

Zidane was just stunned for a moment, why so suddenly?

And Modric's answer was that he had a little cold and would be fine in two days.

Zidane was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask much. The sudden change in tactics caught him off guard, but Modric was also a core player in the team, and Zidane would try his best to meet his requirements.

So, the temporary change in the starting list was reported by Zidane.

Unexpected things are happening quietly.

Not long after, Real Madrid's bus arrived at the outskirts of the Anoeta Stadium, and many fans and reporters surrounded the entire stadium.

The media had no articles to break after not seeing Real Madrid's players for a few days!

Looking at the entire football world now, Real Madrid is the hottest.

As soon as they got off the car, they swarmed in. The security team was divided into two teams, queuing these idle people outside to allow the players to enter safely.

They were all in a relatively relaxed state. After getting off the car, Ronaldo gave a thumbs up in front of the camera, while Marcelo was still busy signing autographs for fans.

Bai Ran was also frantically shouted by a fan for autographs and photos, and even reached out to high-five him.

But Bai Ran didn't have these idle thoughts.

His expression was calm and indifferent. Although there was a layer of thick dark circles under his eyelids, his eyes flashed with incomparable determination.

He was going to play for his brothers!

Modric's exhortation made Bai Ran attach great importance to it. He must play his own style this time, and win back with Modric's share.

Bai Ran's previous life also respected Modric very much. This is a midfield master with a tragic color. A sheep-herding boy who walked out of the war, Modric had a very tragic childhood.

Football changed his life. After coming to the Bernabeu, he finally made a name for himself through his unremitting efforts and struggles.

The defeat in the World Cup made the veteran look a little old. It was a great honor to lead Croatia to this point.

Although he was over 30 years old, he ran the most and intercepted the most actively in the whole game. The fire in his heart has never been extinguished.

Later, Modric also won the Golden Ball Award.

Of course, it was only 2016 in this world, and these things were far from happening.

And Bai Ran had already remembered Modric firmly in his heart, and his story was known to everyone.

He was also very willing to make such a partner and friend.

Now Modric's will came to him, and he must fulfill Modric's wish!

With this feeling, Bai Ran let out a long breath and walked into the Anoeta Stadium.
