Chapter 272: Reuniting with Old Friends, the Future of Castile

Zidane's praise for all Real Madrid players reached the highest level. Even in the situation where the game was lagging behind, Zidane firmly believed that Real Madrid players would be able to turn the situation around.

This is their tenacious fighting spirit and resilience, the courage to face setbacks in adversity, which is the noblest quality of a person.

In the locker room facade, Real Madrid players sang and danced. Everyone surrounded Bai Ran, singing and dancing. Marcelo also performed a samba dance, which was very dynamic and made everyone laugh.

At this time, Ronaldo, who came on as a substitute in the second half of the game and scored a goal, was sitting next to him and changing clothes calmly. There was not much smile on his face, but more of a plain look, and even a trace of displeasure.

The two sides formed a sharp contrast. Bai Ran's arrival obviously reduced the Portuguese king who was supported by many stars to a supporting role. Although Ronaldo was still unique in Real Madrid in terms of data on the court, Bai Ran had just joined for half a season and had created countless myths and miracles.

If this continues, within two years, Bai Ran will definitely completely replace him and become the new super core of Real Madrid.

With his position in jeopardy, how can Ronaldo still have the heart to celebrate with them?

Although the victory in the match with Barcelona made him very excited and happy, after all, it was a direct dialogue between two world-class teams, and winning the national derby was everyone's ultimate dream, but at this moment, Ronaldo was also worried about his future.

Once, he thought he was the world's number one football player.

And now, he must consider whether Bai Ran will come from behind and snatch such a title from him.

After the game, the morale of all Real Madrid players was very high. On the next day, Zidane also gave the players a day off.

On this day, the players of Real Madrid kept their spirits high. Few of them went out to play, and most of them stayed in the base to pass the ball to each other and chat.

After all, the struggle with Barcelona is not over yet. In the second round of the game, Real Madrid only had a one-goal advantage.

Although Cillessen received a red card and could not play for Barcelona in the second round, they still have Ter Stegen as their goalkeeper.

This German player is stronger than Cillessen.

This is a situation that Real Madrid has to face. In the second round, they will play at home. Although they have the advantage of home court, Barcelona should not be underestimated.

After this game, Barcelona will definitely find out where their problems are, and they will be brave after knowing shame. The second round will definitely be more difficult than this game.

What Bai Ran did not expect was that during this holiday, a call came from an unfamiliar number on his mobile phone.

After answering the phone, Bai Ran heard that the other party's voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't tell who it was.

"Hello, Bai Ran, congratulations on winning the national derby!"

"Hero of Real Madrid, how are you recently?"

Bai Ran was a little confused, "Who are you?"

There was a hoarse laugh from the other side of the phone, very cheerful.

"Even I forgot! Bai Ran, you have a bad memory!"

"I'm at the gate of your base now, come out and pick me up."

The call was quickly hung up by the other party. Bai Ran frowned and looked at the unfamiliar number, feeling a little confused.

Who the hell is this?

With doubts, Bai Ran changed into casual clothes, walked out of his room in the Real Madrid base, and came to the outside of the base.

The gate of the Real Madrid base was very clean and tidy, and there was a figure standing on the side of the road in front.

It was a figure wearing black clothes, who looked familiar, but for a moment, Bai Ran also had a guess, but he didn't dare to verify it.

After walking forward, Bai Ran asked softly: "Hello?"

"Did you call me just now?"

The man turned his head and took off the hoodie on his head, revealing his handsome white face, his neat short hair was very energetic, his dark blue eyes were handsome, and his whole face was filled with unprecedented happiness, excitement and excitement.

After seeing Bai Ran, the man took the initiative to extend his hand to greet Bai Ran, and Bai Ran's pupils also trembled slightly.

It was him!

Sans! ?

"Oh my God! Why are you here!"

"Brother, are you okay?"

Bai Ran and Sans clapped their hands, and then hugged each other. The two had a close relationship.

Sans smiled and said, "I have never been happier than today."

"I'll take you to dinner, are you free?"

Bai Ran grinned.

"Of course! It happens that I have a day off today, I'll treat you!"

Bai Ran took Sans, stopped a taxi, and went directly to a western restaurant in Madrid.

After the two chose a seat, the dishes were quickly served, with all kinds of delicacies. This is also the most distinctive French restaurant in Spain that Bai Ran knows.

Sans probably doesn't know that this restaurant is the first restaurant that Zidane invited Bai Ran to dinner.

At that time, Bai Ran was just a young player who had just started out. He had no fame and his strength was not that good.

Bai Ran knew that Sanz's family was in a bad situation. After the car accident, his family had spent all their money to pay for his medical treatment and leg injury, and to let him start his football career.

Now he probably didn't have much money in his pocket. How could Bai Ran feel comfortable asking him to treat him to a meal?

Although Bai Ran hadn't had time to sign the contract extension yet, he was now a man with an annual salary of 8 million, and he didn't like to spend money on other things, so he had saved a lot of euros in the past six months.

Thinking of this, Bai Ran suddenly remembered that the contract extension for Real Madrid was still in his room. If he had considered it thoroughly, he could contact Real Madrid's agent to finalize the contract.

But now that he had met his old friend again, Bai Ran was extremely excited.

"By the way, how was your trial in Castilla? I was busy with the game recently and didn't have time to ask you."

"It's been about two weeks, right? What did Raul say?"

Sanz looked mysterious and smiled.

He took out his phone, opened the album and showed Bai Ran the photos, which shocked Bai Ran. He was surprised and delighted!

Bai Ran's eyes suddenly showed an ecstatic look: "Wow!"

"That means Castilla has decided to sign you!?"

Sanz nodded gently: "Yes, the coach is quite convinced of my ability. After only one week of trial training, they decided to sign a professional contract with me."

"This is the day I have dreamed of. Thank you Bai Ran."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have taken this path."

Bai Ran smiled and scratched his head, saying: "You deserve this, because your ability is already there. I just helped Raul."

"By the way, how did you think of recommending me to Castilla? I want to know about this."

Bai Ran explained calmly: "It's like this. We were training that day. Because we were going to participate in the final of the International Champions Cup, the players were also training on the field."

"Raul suddenly came over ，你要知道，卡斯蒂利亚的基地远在西班牙，他能够不远万里来到美国，肯定是有他的原因的。”

“果不其然，他是为了阵容当中现在缺乏的位置而担忧。”

“卡斯蒂利亚的球员有很多上赛季表现不错，都被好的俱乐部挖走，现在队内比较空虚，尤其是在中场组织者的这个位置上，更是欠缺人才。”

“我这一瞬间就想到了你。”

“因为根据劳尔所说的，这个位置并不需要激烈的对抗和特别剧烈的跑动，但是需要有出色的球感、意识、脚法和大局观。”

“我觉得这一切跟你太吻合了，想给你一个机会。”

“但是你去了之后发展得一切，让我觉得有些快的吓人！”

“劳尔对你是怎么评价的？”

提到这件事，桑斯的脸上流露出了骄傲的神色。

“我开始的时候对自己的实力并不自信。”

“甚至在卡斯蒂利亚，教练也并没有拿我当回事。”

“劳尔并没有亲自见我，而是让一个助理教练过来看我进行测试和试训。”

白然点了点头，这也正常。

After all, Castilla is in a situation of extreme shortage of players. As the head coach, Raul must be eager to recruit talents all over the world after following Zidane's instructions.

If he heard that there were any good seedlings, he would definitely take a plane to see them.

Many young players are very talented. These players are gathered in several major regions in Europe, and Sanz now lives in the United States. When he heard that a child from the United States wanted to have a trial, Raul didn't think much about it and directly arranged for his subordinates to handle it.

After all, he didn't know for a while that the child was recommended by Bai Ran. If he knew in advance, he would definitely come to see it in person.

But Raul didn't, so he didn't think it was something worth taking seriously at first. The worst thing was that he failed the trial and went home. Such things happened every day in front of the team.

Sanz continued: "The assistant coach was not optimistic about me at first. He thought that I had no advantage in height, body shape, strength, speed, but not very explosive power."

"With such ability, it is difficult to play a good position in Castilla. Of course, I know this."

"But later, after passing, shooting, dribbling and a series of training, Castilla's assistant coach was stunned!"

"You didn't even see his expression. It really made me laugh."

"The assistant coach expressed great recognition of me. This is the second time I have been favored by a professional team."

"I was not too nervous at the time because I had already received such a test in Real Madrid. As long as I can show my true level, it will be fine."

"To be honest, success or failure doesn't matter to me."

"And the assistant coach called Raul directly, and he immediately flew over to inspect me."

"Halfway through the inspection, Raul didn't even finish reading it, and immediately wanted to sign a professional contract with me, and said that I was the person he was looking for."

Bai Ran was also very happy after hearing what Sanz said. Sanz was his good friend, and Raul's relationship with him was also that of a teacher and a friend.

He played a matchmaking role in this matter, not only satisfying Sanz's football dream and helping him embark on a better path, but also helping Raul solve his current dilemma and help him get out of a difficult situation.

This thing was done beautifully, Bai Ran was very pleased.

The two exchanged glasses and chatted while eating, talking about almost anything.

How is the climate in Spain different from that in the United States, and what are the differences in customs and customs? The two chatted happily.

It is not too late for Sanz to start his career from now on. After all, he is only 22 years old. Although he has no previous career experience, Raul is still very optimistic about him.

Mariano, who is now joining Real Madrid, has just entered the professional arena at the age of 21, right? It's just that his starting point is relatively high, he was born on a large platform, and he just made his mark in Real Madrid's first team. It can be said that he is extremely lucky.

In fact, judging from Bai Ran's current level, Sanz's ability and comprehensive ability are more outstanding than Mariano's.

However, the only bad point is that Sanz's leg injury is a huge hidden danger.

You don't know when, it may relapse, which will ruin a professional player's career, so this lottery ticket is more like a time bomb.

The reason why Raul dared to sign Sanz was because there was no way out.

It cannot be said that he sought medical treatment in a hurry. After all, Sanz's ability lies here, but whether Sanz can develop in Castile in the long term depends on whether Raul has enough determination and patience to treat Sanz.

It's also possible that after Sanz helped Raul get through the difficulties of the past two seasons and helped him ease this difficult period, he might be left behind.

In short, everything depends on future development, and no one can say for sure.

At this moment, Bai Ran suddenly remembered his cell phone, and there was a call.

"Sorry, pick up the phone."

Bai Ran picked up the phone and it turned out to be Zidane.

"Coach, what's going on?"

Zidane's tone was calm and calm.

"Bai Ran, where have you been?"

"In the base? Or outside?"

Bai Ran raised his eyes and glanced at Sans, then said, "I'm eating with friends outside, what's wrong?"

Zidane said in a deep voice: "Well, it's okay."

"Are you free tomorrow?"

Bai Ran frowned, a little confused: "Isn't tomorrow a training day? Of course we have to train normally!"

"What, is something wrong?"

Zidane said calmly: "Well, we do have some arrangements for tomorrow."

"Okay, when will you come back tonight? If it's before 12 o'clock, come to my office to find me."

"I have something to tell you."

Bai Ran agreed and then hung up the phone.

The phone was hung up, and the conversation between the two old friends continued. They talked a lot. During the conversation, Bai Ran also learned that Raul treated Sanz very well. The two parties signed a contract for two and a half years, with an annual salary of fifty Ten thousand euros, this is already an astronomical figure for Sanz.

Of course, in Castilla's lineup, this level of salary is really not too high, it can even be said to be a bit low.

But who hasn’t started yet? When Bai Ran was promoted from the youth team to Castilla, his annual salary was not as high as Sanz.

Later, Bai Ran also learned that Sanz's leg injury required long-term treatment before he could support the intensity of his career.

His family could no longer afford his medical expenses, so after careful consideration, Raul decided to allocate part of Castilla's funds to treat Sanz. The results were achieved through hard work and hard work.

He even told the senior management of Castile: If you don't agree, I will pay for this out of my own pocket, but I will keep this account in mind.

Real Madrid executives saw that Raul's attitude was so tough, and the money was really not a big deal for a huge club like Real Madrid, so they nodded and agreed.

After the two talked for a while, they left and said goodbye to each other. Bai Ran gave Sans his most sincere blessings.

He could see that Sanz's love for football was something rarely encountered in the world.

Bai Ran himself is the same, his obsession with football has reached a crazy level.

Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to sustain his hard training day after day.

Bai Ran lowered his head and glanced at his phone. It was just ten o'clock in the evening. Bai Ran took a taxi directly back to Real Madrid's base. Instead of returning to his room, he came to Zidane's office.

Bang bang bang——

There was a knock on the door, and Zidane's voice came from the office.

"Please come in."

Bai Ran pushed the door open and found Zidane sitting in front of the laptop, typing on the keyboard quickly, as if he was dealing with something.

After closing the door, Bai Ran came over. Zidane glanced at Bai Ran and then said calmly: "Sit down first."

"Sorry, I have something to do."

Five minutes later, Zidane closed the computer, looked at Bai Ran, and smiled: "Not bad, you look so handsome in your clothes. Are you going out to play?"

Bai Ran chuckled and nodded: "I met a friend."

"What's wrong, coach? What's going on tomorrow?"

Zidane didn't rush to say it, but took a sip of the coffee on the table and said, "I heard that you talked to the top management of Real Madrid some time ago and renewed the contract, right?"

Bai Ran nodded openly and said, "Yes, they found me themselves."

This is not that the player shamelessly went to the team to seek a contract extension, but the team wanted to keep Bai Ran!

It has nothing to do with me, they asked for a contract extension!

Zidane nodded and expressed his understanding of Real Madrid's approach.

"Have you seen the contract?"
