Chapter 308: Champions League Kicks Off! Against Sporting Lisbon!

The banquet lasted for several hours. People at the dinner were talking and laughing, and the birthday boy Modric was also very happy.

"Let me tell you, Bai Ran is the most active in training. He is the only one in the team who trains until the early morning."

"Not only do we have to participate in the team training, but daily extra training has also become a daily routine."

"Such a hard-working person must be the most successful in any field."

Bai Ran scratched his head and smiled.

He really worked very hard in his life, probably to make up for his previous regrets.

This kind of tenacious willpower is innate to Bai Ran, and the reason why he can train so confidently and boldly is that the muscle strength of his body is also an indispensable point.

This is also thanks to Bai Ran's injury immunity BUFF. This skill directly helps Bai Ran get rid of worries and can exercise unlimitedly without getting injured. This is also a very powerful skill.

The teammates present all nodded, and Marcelo even pretended to applaud, but when he saw that no one on the table echoed him, only the lonely applause came from his palm, which immediately attracted everyone's laughter.

And Bai Ran also patted Marcelo's hand, don't embarrass me anymore!

Marcelo smiled secretly and retracted his hand.

Modric continued: "Please introduce Bai Ran to everyone and say a few words by the way."

"Today is also the second season of our cooperation, isn't it?"

Bai Ran nodded and was about to speak, but the phone in his pocket rang.

"Ah... Sorry, answer the phone."

The people present also expressed their understanding, which is human nature.

Bai Ran temporarily left the field, and the evaluation of Bai Ran on the field has not ended.

Modric is still talking about the time when Bai Ran and him were at the end of last season, and how Bai Ran helped him.

After listening to it, these people also expressed their amazement at Bai Ran. This is not something a 17-year-old child can do!

But at this time, no one noticed that Marcelo also turned around and walked out of the square door. Without anyone noticing, he slowly left the banquet.

After a while, a sound of wheels sounded, and everyone quieted down and looked at the door in confusion.

Marcelo walked into the room first and turned off the lights in the room. Suddenly the whole room fell into darkness.

"Ah?"

"What's going on?"

"Marcelo! Are you crazy! Turn on the lights!"

"We are eating, this is not fun."

The team members scolded the Brazilian, and at this time, Bai Ran appeared in the public's field of vision from the corner of the entrance of the door, pushing a cart.

On the cart, there was a three-layer cake with many candles on it. In the dark room, the light formed by the candles on the cake made people feel the warm atmosphere.

"Wow..."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Marcelo shrugged aside.

What can I do? This is all Bai Ran's idea. I just cooperated and turned off the light!

Bai Ran pushed the cake in while singing the birthday song.

"Happy birthday to you..."

The relaxed and cheerful singing instantly infected the atmosphere of the scene. Gradually, everyone followed Bai Ran's singing and sang along. The scene was very warm. Modric also smiled. He didn't expect his teammates to arrange such a thing for him.

Slowly moving the giant cake to the table, Bai Ran smiled gently.

"We have ordered a cake for you together."

"Make a wish and blow out the candles."

Modric said, "No need to be so grand, there is no need to do this."

But he was still very happy in his heart, and joy filled his cheeks.

Bai Ran said, "Hey! You have to look like you have a birthday when you celebrate your birthday."

"Make a wish and blow out the candles!"

The invited guests also started to make a fuss, asking Modric to make a wish and blow out the candles.

Modric simply nodded: "Okay."

"I hope..."

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Bai Ran suddenly interrupted at this time: "Don't say it! It won't work if you say it out!"

Modric didn't know much about the ins and outs of celebrating birthdays, but he thought it was quite interesting, so he nodded, tacitly made a wish in his heart, then took a deep breath, exhaled suddenly, and blew out all the candles.

In an instant, the room was filled with darkness again.

Marcelo turned on the lights again, and the scene was full of joy, with smiles on everyone's faces.

Modric also expressed his gratitude to everyone present.

In short, this birthday party was held perfectly, not only enhancing the harmonious relationship within the Real Madrid team, but also establishing a lot of connections for Bai Ran in Spain.

After eating and drinking, Modric also personally sent Bai Ran back to his home. It can be seen that as Bai Ran's "big brother"-level figure, Modric still attaches great importance to this child.

The two can be said to be teammates who are as close as brothers.

Time flies, and it is September 15th soon. The opening match of the Champions League will be held here.

The crowded Bernabeu Stadium once again ushered in a focus battle.

In the first round of Group F of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid will face Sporting Lisbon, and a striking battle is about to begin.

The fans at the scene have taken their seats, ready to enjoy the game at any time.

The players followed the bus to the Bernabeu stadium, and they were full of energy and were determined to give a wonderful performance.

This game also attracted scouts and coaches from all over the world, who all wanted to find possible signing targets in the two teams of Sporting Lisbon and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is the star-making factory in Europe, and Sporting Lisbon's youth training camp is also unique, a cradle of winger superstars.

They may have to find some of the best candidates in this game as signing targets in the mid-season transfer window.

The lineup sent by Real Madrid in this game is quite strong. As the first game of the Champions League, Zidane attaches great importance to it.

The classic 433 formation and the BBC trident in the front field who have returned from injury all indicate that Real Madrid will go all out in this game.

As for the goalkeeper, Navas, who is recovering from injury, is still unable to play, and Casillas put on his jersey and is on standby at any time.

On the defensive line, Carvajal and Marcelo are on both sides, and Sergio Ramos and Varane are on the same side in the middle.

Midfielders Modric and Bai Ran all appeared, and the defensive midfielder position is still as stable as a mountain Casemiro.

There is a doorway on the forward line. The center is no longer the Spaniard Morata, but their main player Benzema. Bale on the right has been waiting for a long time, and Ronaldo on the left shines throughout the game.

Such a luxurious lineup is enough to make them full of confidence.

This is the absolute main lineup of Real Madrid. Except for Navas, the goalkeeper, who cannot play, the other ten players are all the top combat forces of Real Madrid.

They do not intend to give Sporting Lisbon any chance in this game.

Sporting Lisbon is not to be outdone. Goalkeeper Patricio is ready to go, defenders Zeherar and Joao Pereira shoot left and right, and central defenders Coci and Ruben Semedo defend the gate.

In the midfield, they have Bruno Cesar, a fast winger, and Gelson Martins. The two central midfielders are the famous William Carvalho and Adrien Silva.

On the forward line, Lisbon's configuration is Ruiz and Dost as forwards.

It is not difficult to see that they intend to use the 442 counterattack tactics to attack Real Madrid's defense in this game. This offensive and defensive showdown is definitely the focus battle that all fans are looking forward to.

The players on both sides stood in the player channel with nervous expressions. The veteran Modric, who just turned 31, was in a relatively relaxed state.

At the moment when the theme song of the Champions League was played, the players of both sides finally entered the field.

The cheering voices of the fans on the sidelines were thunderous and resounded throughout the Bernabeu Stadium. There are many supporters of Real Madrid and Sporting Lisbon. As a quasi-football power, Portugal also has many fanatical supporters. Today, a large number of fans came from afar to watch this game, and they actually formed a situation of confrontation with Real Madrid fans.

The players on both sides stood in their positions separately. When the referee blew the whistle, the game officially began!

The long-awaited opening match of the Champions League finally started.

Many people predicted that Real Madrid would win the game without a single blow before the game started, because from the perspective of paper strength, Real Madrid is a crushing presence in all positions.

As long as there is no big problem with the tactics of head coach Zidane, the result of this game is obvious.

Sure enough, in the 7th minute of the game, Bai Ran dribbled the ball and passed it to Ronaldo on the wing. Ronaldo told Benzema to pass the ball horizontally after dribbling it!

Benzema looked up and looked around, but there was no good chance to shoot, so he turned around and passed it back to Bai Ran.

At this time, a goal that highlights his worth came.

Bai Ran didn't even look at the ball. Relying on the tacit understanding between his teammates, he directly kicked a pass over the top, but Bai Ran's eyes were biased to the back to attract the attention of the defensive players.

William Carvalho of the opponent subconsciously paid attention to the direction of Bai Ran's eyes, but he didn't realize that the ball under Bai Ran's feet had been passed to his teammates silently!

The ball passed over the head of the opponent's defender and landed precisely at Bale's feet!

My God!

The commentator and the fans at the scene were all amazed!

What a talent, what a pass!

Bai Ran once again performed a No Look Pass!

Passing without looking at people means that Bai Ran had already foreseen the running position of his teammates before passing the ball, and in the following time, Bai Ran also had a very accurate prediction of the situation on the field!

This ball was passed so beautifully that Real Madrid fans stood up one after another, looking forward to this ball entering the net!

Bale made some mistakes in stopping the ball. When the ball came in front of him, he used the arch of his foot to touch the ball, but because Bai Ran passed the ball too suddenly, Bale was also unprepared, and this time he stopped a little too far.

But it was a blessing in disguise. This did not affect Bai Ran's exquisite through pass this time, which also caused the opponent's goalkeeper to make a deviation in judgment and directly choose to attack!

Patricio decisively ran out of the penalty area when Bale was holding the ball, trying to intercept the ball in advance.

But Patricio overlooked one point, a very important point!

Bale's speed is beyond your imagination!

Even if there is a mistake in stopping the ball, as long as the mistake is not too outrageous, Bale can catch up.

He could even catch up with himself three seconds later, not to mention the distance of one meter and a half?

After adjusting his body shape, Bale immediately caught up with the ball at a high speed, running fast and catching up with the ball. When the goalkeeper was about to save the ball, he made a lob shot.

The ball jumped over the goalkeeper's body and lightly jumped into the goal from above the goalkeeper!

The ball went in!

Bai Ran's assist, Bale's light lob shot, beautiful!

The score came to 1-0. Real Madrid scored the first goal away from home in the 7th minute of the game and gained an advantage!

The opposing players also knew that Bai Ran was very strong, but they couldn't defend him at all!

This 17-year-old kid was like a bug on the field. What kind of defense could stop him!

At least the defenders of the opposing Lisbon Sporting had no way to deal with Bai Ran!

This was a perfect ball. Bai Ran's threat on the field was indeed the greatest. Real Madrid's offensive intensity was very strong. Bai Ran's surgical pass easily tore through the opponent's defense.

This was not a matter of passing five players or riding alone, but an excellent teamwork. This pass, this stop, this dribbling, this shooting, all in one fell swoop.

Simple and clear, the way to score a goal is so rough!

Bale ran on the sidelines, made a heart shape with his hands, and then ran to Bai Ran. The two hugged each other warmly, and the Real Madrid players celebrated the goal happily.

The fans on the sidelines waved flags and shouted. This pass was so beautiful. Although the passer was only 17 years old, this pass showed the style of a master!

In just a few minutes, Sporting Lisbon felt unprecedented pressure. Their defense in the backcourt was already tight, but they didn't expect that even with such a solid wall, Bai Ran could still find a tiny gap.

On the football field, this tiny gap is often enough to kill a team, and this is the case with Sporting Lisbon today.

Bai Ran's precise through ball destroyed the opponent's self-confidence. How to play this bug-level pass?

This assist not only allowed the players of Sporting Lisbon to see Bai Ran's consciousness, which was like a God's perspective, but the most terrifying thing was... this kid was simply too confident.

The feeling of being free and easy on the court was something that no star could imitate.

It seemed that the results of his next move had been rehearsed in his mind, and there would be no mistakes at all, so he could complete all the actions so lightly.

This is why he didn't look at the person just now.

Because of his confidence, he didn't need to look at it at all!

This is not only a matter of football skills, but also shows Bai Ran's innate agility, as well as his courage and courage.

It doesn't look like the spiritual attributes that a teenager can have!

This kind of strength is not like the visible strength of Messi and Ronaldo.

Messi's passing is indeed powerful, and Ronaldo's shooting is also wonderful.

When Messi chooses to break through and Ronaldo wants to shoot, I believe that 99% of the players in the world can't stop them when these two things happen.

This is the greatness of the two heroes.

But Bai Ran feels completely different from them. Bai Ran gives you the feeling that a huge stone is pressing on your head. When you try your best to break free, you find that the big stone is motionless.

So you start to get anxious and worried. The tenacious desire to survive makes your veins bulge, and you use all your energy to support the stone.

Finally, the emperor's efforts pay off. The huge stone is lifted by you a little bit. At this moment, you will see that it is just a finger of Bai Ran.

It is this feeling of despair and suffocation!

Bai Ran has not even been absolutely focused and seriously dealing with you, but you can't resist it.

A leisurely stroll is enough to destroy the opponent's defense line, and a sense of dimensionality reduction comes naturally.

This is undoubtedly a triple test for the players' psychology, body, and football skills.

A few minutes after the start of the game, Real Madrid took a goal lead at home.

The game on the field continued, and Sporting Lisbon kicked off again.

After the ball was kicked out, Sporting Lisbon wanted to counterattack defensively. After all, their formation was originally 442. This was the original idea of ​​head coach Jorge Jesus. Even if Real Madrid scored a goal first, they had to follow the tactics.

Real Madrid's offensive firepower was fully opened, so if Sporting Lisbon wanted to equalize the score, it had to create a blitzkrieg in the frontcourt to score. It was essential to play with fewer players, because their Casemiro was also amazing, with a large coverage area, and first-class interception and stealing ability, so Sporting Lisbon chose to control the ball in the backcourt first.

They were also constantly observing the changes in Real Madrid's formation.

In the stage of holding the ball, Real Madrid must send people to defend or even press high. When their line is stretched, it is the best time for Sporting Lisbon to counterattack.

Because the longer Real Madrid's line is stretched, the wider the running space left for Lisbon, and the more difficult it is for Real Madrid to catch up.

At this time, the Real Madrid players did not dare to take it lightly. The battle-hardened Real Madrid naturally understood what Sporting Lisbon wanted, so in the process of pressing, they also carefully marked and tried to block the opponent's passing route instead of running for the ball.

The number of people on the field is equal, so blocking the passing path is definitely much easier than chasing the ball. In the high-position pressing tactics, several players in the frontcourt may need to cooperate to press the ball holder and the ball receiver, but at this moment, Real Madrid did not dare to use too many troops to control the ball holder.
