Chapter 293 Bai Ran's Excellent Method

On the next training day, Bai Ran went to Zidane's office after attending the training camp.

Zidane was a little surprised to see Bai Ran come to him.

As the saying goes, no one comes to visit you for no reason, let alone Bai Ran, a great Buddha.

Zidane knows Bai Ran too well. He doesn't want to waste even a second in the office when he can spend time on the training ground.

"Hey, what brings you here?"

Seeing Bai Ran come in, Zidane turned his chair, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Bai Ran lightly.

"You played well in the last game, congratulations."

Bai Ran sat on the chair, his face was soft, and there was a hint of tenacity in his eyes when he looked at Zidane.

"Coach, I want some advice."

"Can you give me some advice?"

Hearing this, Zidane's brows suddenly frowned, and he looked at Bai Ran and said: "Hiss..."

"Did you encounter any problems?"

"Why do you say that suddenly?"

Now Bai Ran's performance on the field is close to perfect. Even after only half a year, Bai Ran can almost be compared with the world's top midfielders.

Still need advice?

Zidane did have some, but he felt that a player could only absorb a limited amount of things, and in such a short time, asking a young player to learn too much would be counterproductive.

"Are you doing all the training plans I gave you before?"

Zidane asked this question, and he thought that Bai Ran must have neglected it, otherwise he would not have asked him for new advice again.

But for young people, it is normal to be enthusiastic for three minutes, and Zidane did not blame Bai Ran too much.

But who knows, Bai Ran nodded: "Everything is going on normally, and I have added my own training plan to it."

"The part of the training you gave me is not intense enough."

These words, like a thunderbolt, made Zidane choke for a long time.

"Not intense enough..."

Zidane's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Bai Ran.

Ten thousand grass mud horses galloped past, and his heart was broken.

You know, the training he gave Bai Ran is the essence of training that he has spent half his life and summarized his entire career.

Whether it is dribbling, ball control, shooting, or even the art of defense, Zidane has mixed his own unique insights into it.

Players who complete the training under this system, even if they are mediocre, can become an absolutely master midfielder.

Not to mention genius?

And this level, in Bai Ran's view, is just four words thrown to him.

Not intense enough!

Bai Ran nodded: "So I want to ask you to give me some more advice, even if it's not about training."

Bai Ran's way of getting stronger is very different from others. Ordinary training can also increase his ability, but this method is too slow.

How can it be possible for a person to reach the top of the football world if every professional player in the world is doing it?

And Bai Ran's way of getting stronger is more dependent on completing tasks and adding points to the system.

Seeking better advice to complete tasks and get reward points, that's enough.

In fact, Bai Ran doesn't care much about what this so-called "task" looks like.

Zidane thought for a while and said, "I don't know what you are doing."

"Are you recording?"

Bai Ran smiled calmly: "Coach, what's the use of recording in this kind of occasion and conversation?"

It is inevitable that Zidane will doubt that as a professional player, it is very normal to find the coach to ask questions about training. Every motivated football player will do this.

However, Bai Ran actually said, "Even if it's not a training suggestion, it's okay!".

Zidane was puzzled. What is Bai Ran doing?

Bai Ran looked at Zidane mysteriously, with greedy eyes, as if as soon as Zidane opened his lips, these attribute points would be credited to his account.

"Listen, Bai Ran, as a player, I hope you can focus more on the court."

"Although I don't know what you are doing, this is all the advice I can give you."

"If you have to say it."

"I might give you a more indifferent suggestion, for example, calm down James's emotions."

"This is also a problem that I am having a headache now."

"How about it?"

Zidane smiled carelessly, obviously this suggestion was very unreliable, equivalent to a difficult problem that a head coach could not solve, and he left it to Bai Ran to solve.

This is not part of Bai Ran's work, and it has not improved his career in the slightest, but it is not good for him.

Because James Rodriguez basically did not play much in the second half of last season since Bai Ran's arrival. Even in the friendly matches at the beginning of this season, Zidane took out most of the substitute lineup to play, and James Rodriguez still played very few times.

In the 2014 World Cup, James Rodriguez was full of energy and became famous with one goal.

In the round of 16 of the Brazil World Cup, he was surrounded and blocked by five Uruguayan players. Facing a high ball from his teammates, James chose to stop the ball with his chest, then bent his bow and arrow outside the penalty area, and turned around and volleyed the ball without waiting for the ball to land. Although the Uruguayan goalkeeper flew to save the ball, it could only be the background of this wonderful goal.

The "fairy from the sky" goal is just a microcosm of James in that cup. The 22-year-old James became the flagship figure of Colombia with his performance of the World Cup Golden Boot, and he also became a superstar in the hearts of fans.

After the World Cup, Real Madrid spent a lot of money to recruit James. Under the guidance of his mentor Ancelotti, the World Cup hero played brilliantly in his first season with Real Madrid: he started all 29 league games and scored 13 goals and assisted 13 times. Such performance is already a great starting point for a young man who has just entered the world's top club.

Under Ancelotti, James is like a thousand-mile horse meeting a good horse, fully demonstrating his ability. Ancelotti knows how to appoint people and even favors them. He promoted the Colombian to a relatively high tactical position. Not only can he play at his most comfortable rhythm, but he has also become a hidden "crown prince" in the team. Under the influence of internal and external environment, James Rodriguez has performed well.

The coach's reuse is also a double-edged sword. If you seize the opportunity, you will rise to the top, but if you don't, you will lose yourself.

James Rodriguez is obviously the latter. After playing a phenomenal performance under Ancelotti, the Colombian who already had a high opinion of himself thought: I didn't perform well because the coach didn't know how to use me. Look how good I am under Ancelotti!

With Ancelotti's departure in 2015, the Colombian's "comfort zone" was gone. Later, Benítez and Zidane who took over the team didn't like James Rodriguez, who was arrogant and free-spirited.

Initially, James Rodriguez lost his starting position in Real Madrid due to injuries. This is an unavoidable problem. Any player will encounter similar troubles.

Under normal circumstances, players will choose to actively recover and try to maintain their physical condition during the recovery period. Players with a strong competitive spirit will even practice more in non-injured positions during the recovery period, and complete the transformation by the way when they return from injury.

But James Rodriguez is an exception. Not only did he gain weight during the injury period, but his body fat rate even reached 13% after he returned from injury, and he could not lose weight for a long time. Numbers don't lie. It can be seen that his problem is no longer a lack of systematic training. It can even be said that he is passive and lacks professionalism.

Former Colombian national team doctor Cruz once criticized James Rodriguez. The doctor believed that his physical decline was due to his own fault and lack of professionalism: "He didn't take good care of himself, so he was often injured.

He didn't concentrate on working for the new season, but trimmed his eyebrows and did his hair when he should have been training.

Playing for a giant like Real Madrid requires professionalism, and he should have prepared early.

And James Rodriguez's problem is only a training problem. Negative news such as nightclubs, racing, and cheating are also inseparable from him.

James Rodriguez's fall from a genius boy and a World Cup hero has various personal reasons, but there are also objective factors that cannot be ignored.

His characteristics are the old-fashioned core midfielder's playing style, which can control, lead, and shoot. Can pass, full of artistic style.

However, his contribution to the team in defense is very small, and even requires his teammates to work harder to exchange for the ball and space he needs.

Now football tactics almost do not allow people who do not defend. This kind of team core that surpasses the whole team is not suitable for modern football. Even Messi and Ronaldo have to participate in defense as much as possible, not to mention that James is still very far from Messi and Ronaldo.

On the court, it is not that he is not good, but he is not what people often call a "classical midfielder" - because his dribbling breakthrough and control of the game rhythm are not enough, but he has the common problems of "classical front midfielders": occupying the ball, handling the ball slowly, and physical confrontation, not as good as some "classical front midfielders" Attacking midfielder".

Under this circumstance, James Rodriguez gradually faded out of Real Madrid's lineup, and with the arrival of his new love Bai Ran, Real Madrid had less and less room for him.

His salary was not low either. Real Madrid had to pay a high commission while watching this "superstar" on the sidelines. This move had troubled the top management of Real Madrid.

And James Rodriguez's performance on and off the field was also protesting.

That alone would be fine, but the main thing was that this kid often exuded negative emotions in the locker room and took the initiative to form cliques, causing a lot of trouble in the already united locker room of Real Madrid.

Not to mention Zidane, even Florentino didn't know what to do with him.

Zidane Dane was obviously joking when he asked Bai Ran this question.

And in Bai Ran's mind, such a task actually appeared.

[Ding! ]

[Task prompt! ]

[Calm down James Rodriguez and let him focus on the training ground]

[Reward: Free attribute points +5]

Hiss...

Bai Ran thought about it, and five free attribute points were not too many or too few.

Because when he played in Castilla before, five attribute points were the suggestions given by the fans to train these things. Compared with this, this one is easier. After all, there is no physical torture at all. What is needed is communication with teammates.

But it is not easy to say it is simple, because this is not something that Bai Ran can do with hard work.

This requires the cooperation of the other party. If James Rodriguez is like this, even if Bai Ran tries hard, it will be useless.

The arrogant nature of Colombians is the most difficult level for Bai Ran.

But after thinking about it, Bai Ran still took the task.

Damn it, anyway, I'm in urgent need of attribute points, so whatever dirty and tiring work, as long as it gives attributes, just give it to me!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Don't we have to accumulate hundreds of attribute points bit by bit?

"Okay!"

"Coach, I promise you."

"Leave this to me."

Ah! ?

Zidane couldn't help but drop his jaw when he heard what Bai Ran said.

"Huh?"

"Are you sure? If you can handle this, not only me, but also the top management of Real Madrid will thank you."

Bai Ran nodded and said, "The team's affairs are my affairs. I have no choice but to make the team better."

"I'm not doing this for any thanks."

"I'll do it right away, but..."

Zidane raised his eyebrows calmly: "But what?"

Obviously, Zidane's approach has shown infinite interest. He wants to see how Bai Ran handles these things.

This kid can attract the attention of the whole world on the court. He won't have another way to deal with domestic affairs?

That's too scary.

"But I need your cooperation."

Zidane narrowed his eyes: "Just say it, I can promise you, and I will try my best to promise you."

Bai Ran suddenly came up with an idea, showing a sly smile, looking at Zidane meaningfully.

In the office, there was a rustling sound of talking, and every word whispered by Bai Ran was carefully heard by Zidane.

The next day, Real Madrid trained as usual, and James Rodriguez was among them.

Zidane was wearing sportswear and had a whistle hanging around his neck, so that the players could do physical training in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, Zidane blew the whistle and said loudly: "Okay!"

"Next is the actual combat training session."

"Today, we will train in pairs to pass the ball and run to receive the ball."

"From this arc top position, player A runs here and will pass you a ball. After stopping the ball, you have to dribble the ball around the center of the circle and pass it to B..."

Zidane was explaining the content of the training, and Bai Ran, who was standing in the queue, glanced at James Rodriguez next to him, and his expression was self-evident.

Finally, Zidane said: "Let's talk about the grouping."

"Isco, Ramos."

"Marcelo, Casemiro."

"Morata, Vazquez."

"Toni Kroos, Danilo."

"Bai Ran, James."

Hearing the names of this group, Rodriguez suddenly looked up and was stunned.

Since Bai Ran joined the team, he rarely teamed up with Bai Ran, because his position overlapped with Bai Ran's, and it was highly unlikely that they would cooperate on the same stage on the field.

Therefore, Zidane separated the two of them intentionally or unintentionally during the daily training. The purpose was actually to let Bai Ran cooperate more with the main players, get familiar with each other's feelings and habits, and create a chemical reaction.

Wouldn't it be better to cooperate in the game?

I don't know what Zidane was thinking today, and he actually let Bai Ran and James Luo train together.

The other teammates were also confused for a while, but they didn't think much about it. After all, it was the coach's arrangement, and it didn't matter who they trained with.

The Real Madrid players completed the exercises in groups, and they all performed very well. Soon they came to the group training with Bai Ran and James Luo.

"Huh!"

Bai Ran jumped twice on the spot to warm up. Zidane blew the whistle, and Bai Ran started immediately, running around the flagpole from the midfield, and then after reaching a point, the serving machine next to him whizzed out a football, and Bai Ran received the ball and handed it to James Luo next to him.

James Rodriguez certainly did not hesitate, and passed the ball to Bai Ran in front of him. The ball landed in an excellent position, and Bai Ran could have volleyed it directly.

Finally, in the city guarded by Casillas, Bai Ran tried to pass the ball to James Rodriguez, but unfortunately his feet slipped and he fell down!

"Ah!"

Bai Ran stumbled and fell to the ground, and his teammates laughed.

James Rodriguez also showed a faint smile, stepped forward and pulled Bai Ran up: "Are you okay?"

Bai Ran nodded and shook his head in shame.

This scene was seen by Zidane, his face was as calm as water, without any expression.

Soon, the training camp ended.

In the final practical training, Zidane mixed a lot of training that required cooperation for the players, and Bai Ran frequently appeared with James Rodriguez.

This also puzzled many teammates.

After the training, the players packed up their things and returned to the room.

Bai Ran took the initiative to find James Rodriguez and said, "James."

"Are you okay?"

James Rodriguez stuffed his clothes into his bag and saw Bai Ran next to him, seeming a little careless.

"Hmm."

"What's wrong?"

Bai Ran put his hand on his shoulder and said, "I troubled you during the training just now."

"Hehe."

This silly smile was contagious, James Rodriguez felt friendly, so he said softly, "It's okay."

"It's just training, don't take it to heart."

Bai Ran nodded: "Then I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Dinner?"

J Luo thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I have something to do tonight."

Then, Bai Ran noticed that his eyes accidentally glanced at Zidane.

At this time, Zidane also turned to leave the training ground.

Bai Ran instantly understood what James Luo meant.

He just saw that Zidane and Bai Ran were so close, and Bai Ran was growing so fast, and he was afraid that Bai Ran would bring Zidane to dinner with him.

Their relationship was already stiff, wouldn't it be more awkward?

So, Bai Ran chuckled and said: "Just you and me, alone."

J Luo saw that Bai Ran guessed his thoughts at once, so he smiled with relief.

"Okay, see you tonight."
