Chapter 204 A Helpless Temporary Tactic! Bai Ran Unlocks a New Position!

The stands outside the stadium were already full of people, and fans and scouts from all walks of life came to watch the game.

The players have been looking forward to this game for a long time. At this stage of the season, every game is very popular.

Now the suspense of the championship still exists, and Real Madrid and Barcelona are only three points apart.

Although Real Madrid also has an advantage in goal difference, even if they lose one game, they can almost win the championship.

The trophy is already within reach.

Before the game started, Zidane even told his feelings in front of the media.

"The team is now in a critical period of the championship, and we will go all out in every game."

"This is not only an explanation to Real Madrid for their efforts throughout the season, but also a satisfactory answer to the fans who have supported us for so long."

"Real Madrid failed to win last season, and many fans may be very disappointed, but this time we will definitely take back what we should get."

Of course, Zidane did not mention the tactical changes in this game, and reporters and the media were completely unaware of this matter, and of course did not ask about it.

After the interview, Zidane came to the locker room.

The players were ready to play, wearing their jerseys neatly, waiting to play.

But at this time, Ramos suddenly had a question.

Where is Modric?

This was a temporary adjustment. Modric only found out that his injury was getting worse during the day, so he asked Zidane to take a break.

Even his teammates didn't know about it.

The list was just reported by Zidane.

At this time, Zidane stepped into the locker room and said, "Everyone, listen to me."

Ramos blurted out, "Coach, wait a minute."

"Why didn't you see Modric?"

"Shouldn't he..."

Bale in the team also said, "I didn't see him on the bus just now."

"Yeah, I didn't see Modric either. I thought he drove here by himself."

"Indeed, I didn't notice it just now. Modric didn't come?"

"What's going on with him!"

Bai Ran said nothing, just tied his shoelaces aside.

Zidane said, "Be quiet for a moment."

"I'm here to talk about this."

"Modric is not feeling well today, so he can't play in this game, so I want to tell you about our tactical changes for this game."

Bai Ran perked up at this time and listened with his ears erect.

He had already expected it in his heart.

The so-called tactical change basically means that Modric will no longer play, and will be replaced by Toni Kroos or James Rodriguez.

Then they will organize more passes and forward runs, so that they can perform more defensive tasks and serve as Modric's engineer duties.

But what Bai Ran didn't expect was that what Zidane blurted out shocked him!

"The goalkeeper and defenders don't move."

"In the midfield, Casemiro's position is advanced, Kroos, you start."

The German nodded. For him, who has rich experience on the field, a game against Real Sociedad is really not stressful.

Then, Zidane said, "Then it's Pepe, you have to be in the main lineup too."

Real Madrid's central defenders are Ramos and Varane. Pepe was originally a substitute central defender, but Zidane's words seemed to want Pepe to play as a defensive midfielder!

Bai Ran was stunned for a moment.

Ah?

Is Zidane asking him to be a substitute?

Neither of the two front midfielders has his own name, and his partners are Pepe, a central defender from Portugal, and Toni Kroos, a German.

Of course, if Zidane makes this arrangement, Bai Ran can accept it.

As a professional player, the interests of the team are of course supreme. The backbone of the team must be the head coach. The head coach's arrangement is their order and must be obeyed.

Only in this way can the team get better and better.

And Benítez has given them a negative example. If the head coach cannot convince the public, it will lead to disharmony in the entire locker room!

Bai Ran knows this very well, so he did not participate too much in Zidane's choice, but just took off his shoes silently. It is estimated that he will be a substitute in this game.

He looked a little lonely, and just when Bai Ran took off the shin guards on his legs, Zidane's voice came again.

"Benzema, you take a rest on the bench first."

"Bai Ran."

"You play as a striker."

What... what?

When Bai Ran heard the news, he was more shocked than letting himself be a substitute!

Let himself play as a striker! ?

"Coach, are you serious?"

The Real Madrid players were also shocked. Why not use Benzema? Let the midfielder play as a striker?

There is no need!

Zidane knew that Bai Ran was in excellent condition, and his attacking ability was completely top-notch in the football world. Whether it was passing, awareness, positioning and receiving, he was very strong.

On the defensive end, he did not have much experience, which could be said to be his biggest shortcoming.

There are no other players with strong defense in the team's midfield. Toni Kroos? His defensive talent is useless, and James Rodriguez is even more useless. That is the last masterpiece of the classic attacking midfielder, and he can't defend at all.

At this time, we can only rely on Casemiro's control over the midfield, and Bai Ran, a super BUG player, has to be used.

Therefore, under the interests, Zidane made such adjustments.

Casemiro and Toni Kroos play the organizer in the frontcourt.

He sent Pepe to play the position of the defensive midfielder.

As for Bai Ran, he will play as a striker in this game.

And he is a striker with a number nine and a half!

The kind of striker who doesn't need to participate in defense at all, but only needs to wander on the opponent's offside line!

Then, Zidane pulled over the tactical board and quickly introduced the tactical arrangements for this game in ten minutes.

Basically, Bai Ran will partner with Ronaldo and Bale. Bale's winger on the wing is used to break through to the bottom line and then pass the ball, minimize cutting in and shooting, and pass more.

Bai Ran plays a forward with a number nine and a half, looking for the opportunity to run and is responsible for scoring.

Ronaldo was acting as a cover, supporting Bai Ran next to him.

Attracting defense!

This is Ronaldo's most powerful point.

Imagine a deadly weapon. If you use it, you will have no deterrent power at all.

And when it is in your hand, you are the most frightening!

Ronaldo is such a character. He has the world-famous attacking and finishing abilities. He is extremely fast, has a strong burst, and has a high hit rate in front of the goal.

Because of this, the opponent will definitely increase the defensive focus on Ronaldo and prevent him from easily breaking into the opponent's penalty area.

And this gives striker Bai Ran more room to play.

However, Bai Ran's threat is no less than Ronaldo's!

Even Bai Ran's current ability is more comprehensive than Ronaldo's!

This temporary tactic came into being. I don't know what effect it will have on the field.

In the backcourt, the loss of a player like Modric allowed Casemiro's excellent passing skills to be brought into play. His forward position made Real Madrid's entire midfield full of dominance. His physical strength and interception ability were only stronger than Modric.

Casemiro's weaknesses are organizational ability, vision and overall view.

In this regard, he is not at the same level as Modric.

But Toni Kroos next to him made up for this perfectly!

The German has been fighting for a long time, and his interpretation of the game is too strong!

In the back midfield, Zidane also chose Pepe, who is slightly faster, to play the role of a sweeper, more tackles and interceptions, and pass the ball to the full-back after getting the ball!

At this point, there is not much to think about.

This is the best way Zidane can think of to cope with the situation on the spot.

I don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try!

At this moment, the players from both sides are about to enter the field, and Zidane breathes a sigh of relief. There are still many things that he hasn't explained to everyone, but there is no time.

"Go, boys."

"Believe in your ability and bring another victory to Real Madrid."

"Come on!"

The team was full of confidence, and the coach's encouragement made them very excited!

The players of both sides were divided into two teams and entered the Anoeta Stadium!

At this time, the studio was also giving a commentary.

"Hello, audience friends, next I will bring you a highlight of the La Liga, Real Madrid, away to Real Sociedad."

"Before this, we also learned that Barcelona had two consecutive draws, which once again gave Real Madrid the initiative on the road to the championship."

"Now as long as Real Madrid does not lose a game, it will have a chance to win the La Liga championship this year."

"Let's take a look at today's competition."

"Next, I will introduce the lineups of both sides."

"Hmm?"

At this point, the commentator took off his headphones, and the staff behind him was holding a stack of information and whispering something to him.

The commentator was also stunned when he heard the news.

It's so explosive! This news came so suddenly!

Later, the commentator put on his headphones again, and after turning on the sound, his hands were shaking!

"Ah! We just got the new rosters of both sides, and there are some temporary changes in the personnel!"

"We can see that there have been significant changes on the Real Madrid side!"

"On the forward line, Ronaldo and Bale are still leading the two wings, and the striker in the middle... is Bai Ran!"

"My God, Modric doesn't seem to appear in the list today, but Bai Ran plays as a striker!"

"Is this a new tactic for Zidane?"

"And the midfield is composed of Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Pepe. What kind of combination is this... we have no way of knowing!"

"The defenders are still the same, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane and Marcelo, and the goalkeeper is Navas."

"It seems that Real Madrid is going to test new tactics in this game!"

"Let's wait and see how effective they are!"

During this period, the players of both sides have completed the pre-match ceremony, and the two teams have opened their formations and completed warm-up exercises. The next game is about to begin!

With the referee's whistle, the game began!

Real Sociedad kicked off from the center circle!

Before the game started, they were also very puzzled!

Isn't Bai Ran a midfielder?

Why did he move to the forward position?

And... where is Modric?

Could it be that they want to use us to test the lineup and tactics! ?

These players were very puzzled, and they were also holding back a lot of anger in their hearts.

This is being looked down upon!

Does Zidane think that he can abuse us with any arrangement, so he is like this?

The damage is not great, but it is extremely insulting!

It seems that we have to teach Real Madrid a lesson.

As soon as Real Sociedad kicked off, they launched a hot offensive!

After Harvey Prieto got the ball, he passed it to Bruma on the wing!

Bruma rushed to Toni Kroos' side, and then passed Kroos with a pull-up pass!

Bai Ran looked at this scene, and then he understood why Modric wanted him to strengthen his defensive ability.

After all, Kroos is really not good!

Bruma is very fast, and this wave of offensive is very fierce!

After the midfield was passed, a huge gap immediately appeared in Real Madrid's defense!

This is a loophole! Seize the opportunity, Real Sociedad is likely to score a goal in the first offensive opportunity after the opening!

A huge scoring opportunity!

Oyarzabal in the middle is already running, and the striker is empty!

Surutusa at the far point is also raising his hand high to signal the pass. No matter who the ball is passed to, it is a threatening shot and is likely to result in a goal.

Bruma came to the edge of the penalty area and was about to kick!

At this moment, a white figure flashed by!

A flying tackle on the ground, bloody and violent!

This tackle directly scared Bruma to jump up, and the ball was also poked out by the white figure!

Damn, it's so shocking!

This defense is really decisive and wonderful, decisive and even a little... can be described as reckless!

Everyone looked up and saw that it was a bald man!

Pepe!

Bruma covered his head, still worrying about the attack just now.

If this ball hits his leg, it will be the end of his career...

Pepe is too cruel, why did he appear in this position!

He is a defensive midfielder!

Bruma finally realized it.

All the Real Madrid fans were excited and applauded!

This time, letting go was especially morale-boosting!

Ramos ran over and grabbed Pepe's shoulders with both hands, encouraging loudly, well done!

Pepe had no expression on his face.

It was just a basic operation.

My ruthlessness has not really been fully exerted!

The opponent took a penalty kick and the full-back Saldua served the ball.

The ball came to Javi Prieto's feet.

He was slowly dribbling the ball to the middle on the edge, his eyes kept on Pepe's trace.

Pepe was moving towards the middle for the sake of the overall situation, and did not press Javi Prieto.

He was very afraid of Pepe.

So he kept his eyes on Pepe and did not dare to move away.

After all, he had studied the Real Madrid team. The defense in the backcourt was indeed strong, but there was basically no ability to steal in the frontcourt.

Once they reached Real Madrid's half, they didn't have to worry about the back, and they just focused on passing the people in front of them, and all the problems were solved.

But at this moment, a tall figure appeared in front of Xavi Prieto!

A thigh stretched out directly, blocking a huge gap between Xavi Prieto and the ball!

Body blocking!

Who is this! ?

Xavi Prieto was very shocked. How could Real Madrid have such a fierce player in the frontcourt?

He looked closely, damn, are we going to play anymore!

Why is Casemiro here!

With his excellent stealing awareness and defensive skills, Casemiro successfully intercepted the ball, and then made a straight pass, and the ball came to Toni Kroos' feet!

Toni Kroos took the ball and dribbled forward.

There was already a huge open space in front.

Ronaldo made a high-speed forward run!

The opponent's defender Elustondo hurriedly followed. This Ronaldo is not kidding you, he will score a goal if he says he will score a goal!

The task given to him by the head coach today is to keep an eye on Ronaldo!

Ronaldo suddenly made a reverse run at this time, catching the opponent off guard, and Toni Kroos also made a pass!

The opponent's defender saw it and rushed towards Ronaldo. The loss of defense was a huge opportunity for this top Portuguese striker!

Fortunately, they were fast enough to block the passing route in time.

At this moment, Toni Kroos made a straight pass and directly tore through the opponent's defense line!

The ball was passed to Bai Ran!

Bai Ran used Raul's sense of smell in front of the goal to keenly perceive his teammates' passing intentions. He had been wandering on the opponent's offside line for a long time!

And Bai Ran kept observing the movement trajectory of the opponent's defender.

He could be sure that the ball was not offside!

After taking the ball, Bai Ran faced the goalkeeper directly. This was the absolute end moment, and of course he had to use Ronaldo's template!

Bai Ran faced the attacking opponent goalkeeper Lu Li and swayed his center of gravity left and right!

Lu Li was stunned by this series of feints. Which direction was he going to break through?

Toni Kroos's pass directly penetrated the Real Sociedad defense. The central defender couldn't catch up with Bai Ran at all. Only the goalkeeper was left in front of him!

The other defenders all ran out with Ronaldo. How could they come back?

Bai Ran made a beautiful pendulum pass and passed the goalkeeper directly!

Then he came to the bottom line and pushed the ball at a small angle!

The ball went in.

"Goal!!!"

The commentator was crazy, not to mention the fans in the stands!

The whole audience was impressed by Real Madrid's performance. They didn't expect that they would get a miraculous effect after losing Modric!

Bai Ran scored the first goal, which was only in the fifth minute of the game!

Everything started with Pepe's steal in the backcourt. Zidane's tactical arrangement was too reasonable!

Ronaldo's running position really pulled away all the defensive players of Real Sociedad!

It was as beautiful as a picture!

Toni Kroos's organizational ability was also very terrifying. He even had a fake move when passing the ball!

It seemed that the ball was passed to Ronaldo, but he twisted his ankle and directly passed the ball to Bai Ran!

And Bai Ran, needless to say, had a wonderful running position, like a ghost without a trace!

His finishing ability in front of the goal was even first-class. He used his signature pendulum pass to pass the goalkeeper and finally easily pushed the empty goal to score.

Who can not love such a forward?
