Chapter 322 What if Bai Ran Is Disabled?
Zidane also didn't expect that Pato's skills at his feet were not bad.
When Zidane visited Milan a few years ago, he saw Pato playing. Zidane's definition of him at that time was - average skills, fast speed, good sense of goal, and calm shooting.
But now it is absolutely unbelievable that Pato, who was once the worst player, has become so powerful as he grows older.
But think about it, as a Brazilian, how could he have such rough skills at his feet?
Maybe, but rarely.
Because there is no doubt that Brazilians are the best at football.
First of all, the popularity rate of football in South America is very high, and basically all children will be exposed to football.
Children who grew up playing football in the slums have not received systematic training since childhood, so they play wildly and have outstanding personal abilities. The contrast with the styles of European players is very strong. For example, the Bundesliga advocates tactics, La Liga offense, Serie A defense, and the physical confrontation of the Premier League. , and South American football is very wild because it is not as commercialized as European football, especially Brazilian football.
Moreover, South Americans grew up eating beef and have strong physical fitness, which meets the physical requirements of football. The passion of the fans and the desire to perform on the field can also stimulate the fighting spirit of the players. The games are basically full.
Football is the mainstream of Brazilian cultural life. For Brazilians, football is a sport, but it is also culture. Whenever a league or major domestic or international competition is held, Brazilians often go to watch the game with their families. The whole city is empty and the stadium is crowded.
Almost everyone in Brazil is a football fan. Brazilians joke that "people who don't know football or don't understand football can't be the president of Brazil, and they won't get high support rates." Many internationally renowned football players started their career here. of football career.
They currently have about 22,000 national-level football players and have two competitions, the National League and the Brazilian Cup.
Football talents are emerging in large numbers, and excellent players are constantly emerging. Thanks to its system of discovering and cultivating talents, football schools are spread across the country, focusing on training 12-13-year-old children, with excellent coaches instilling advanced football concepts and basic skills into them.
Each club employs a group of experienced scouts with a keen sense of smell. They "activate" at various football schools and competition venues all year round, discover outstanding talents, and report them to the club in a timely manner. The club decides whether to use it after physical examination, testing and on-site observation.
The national team selects players based not only on their skills, but also on whether they abide by discipline, have team spirit and good character.
In order for an athlete to win the support of the audience in Brazil and to gain a firm foothold in the club, he must first have the awareness to love football and the audience. He must go all out in every game and play to his own level and style, so that people who buy tickets to watch the game must do their best. The fans get spiritual enjoyment and satisfaction.
Brazilian football is a rebellious, creative and lively improvisational style.
And their skills such as passing, getting rid of opponents and shooting are all related to samba and black martial arts. And in terms of physical ability and type requirements, football does not have particularly high quality requirements for players.
Pele, the greatest player in history, has no special position except for his well-proportioned physique, while Garrincha, the other king of fake moves, is a polio patient. The racial mix gives Brazilians a variety of ideal conditions for football. ,
Habits also help football develop. Poverty in Brazil has led Brazilian players to learn football by informal and barefoot methods since childhood, and it has become a hobby of Brazilian children. This also makes the relationship between the feet and the ball closer and considerate.
Their coach Santana once said: "Playing barefoot can improve the ability to dribble and control the ball. He understands the speed of football better than any kind of football shoes.
Samba football pays more attention to the rhythm of the game on the court. Relying on their personal skills and overall cooperation, the Brazilians often control the rhythm of the entire game at their own feet, sometimes slow and sometimes fast, and they seize the opportunity to start fast. Sharp attack.
Although their defense will always make people worry, their powerful offensive power can always effectively resolve the pressure of the defense. The occasional star flash is also a highlight of Brazilian football.
This was the case with the attack just now.
Pato took advantage of the contrasting timing and easily got rid of all the defenders.
When the ball fell from high altitude, Pato's rhythm slowed down. Everyone was waiting for Pato to wait for his teammates to intervene later, and then seek cooperation.
But who would have thought that a turn, a pass, and a shot would happen.
All the work was done, it was so concise and clear, and the effect was very good!
After the goal, the referee also blew the whistle and half the game passed.
Waves of thunderous applause came from the audience on the sidelines.
They are very happy for the players who dedicated an extremely exciting offensive and defensive battle.
The two sides are currently fighting a draw, but no one has had enough of this hearty battle.
They still haven't finished it, and of course the fans in the audience are the same!
This fight is so exciting.
Now they have to go back to their respective locker rooms to rest. Fifteen minutes later, they are about to face the final battle.
At midfield, the head coach may make corresponding changes to deal with the problems that occurred in the first half.
Especially Zidane, he was already thinking about the threat Pato posed to Real Madrid when he was on the court, and before the thought dissipated, Pato indeed scored.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Real Madrid. Being tied at the last moment of the game is something no one wants to see.
Pato is very mature when handling the ball on the court, and his timing is very accurate.
He has extremely concise and clear skills, without too many bells and whistles like the Brazilians, without an inverse foot, and can complete shots or passes beautifully with both feet.
He is also the fastest. He can even be ranked in the first echelon in the history of AC Milan. In terms of speed alone, Pato has never been afraid of anyone.
In fact, the most important thing is the explosive power at that moment, which is what we commonly call "starting speed".
Just looking at the absolute speed, Pato may not be as good as Bell, but when he suddenly starts to explode, Bell will be defeated.
Just like that, neither Ramos nor Ravane could guard the Brazilian.
Moreover, his shooting is crisp and clean, without any sloppiness, which has become a nightmare for many goalkeepers.
If we talk about weaknesses, age is probably his number one weakness. It's not that Pato is older now. What this sentence means is that age has too serious an impact on him.
At the peak of his career, AC Milan's Pato could run long distances and use his amazing explosive power. He was often able to find very good shooting opportunities near the penalty area. This is a sense that a top forward should have, and finally Finished the scoring with a cool and beautiful finish.
Physical function and football understanding are all at the top level. The young Pato can undoubtedly make the opponent's back line stand up.
One of the characteristics of this forward is that many shooting opportunities are not actually opportunities, but under Pato's feet, they can always turn them into miracles.
But Zidane also saw something. During the dribbling process, Pato's frequency and passing ability were not very reasonable. His unique method is actually similar to Sun Xingmin. He often relies on speed, and The long-distance run leaves the defender behind.
This kind of dribbling can often give the opponent a head-on blow with cold arrows, and you can succeed before the opponent has time to prepare. However, once the opponent gets ahold of your habit, the success rate of this kind of dribbling will also increase. The real shooting opportunities created after passing people cannot be called perfect.
In the locker room, Zidane also discussed this matter with the players.
In the midfield and frontcourt, Zidane told Bai Ran and other attacking teammates that Villarreal’s left wing is a hot spot and they must make full use of Ronaldo’s advantage to make more breakthroughs. ,
Bai Ran and Modric had better try to lean towards Ronaldo's side when holding the ball.
Zidane mainly gave them advice on the defensive end.
"When facing a fast forward, you have to compress his space so that he has no distance to get away from you and threaten the goal. To defend sideways, you need to squeeze the opponent to the side, but your posture is convenient when the opponent goes down. start up."
"Lowering his center of gravity is necessary, as is appropriate body contact to slow him down and affect his ball control."
"No matter how fast the player is, there will be a pause when he walks to the ball. He must concentrate and decisively carry his body over the moment he touches the ball. If he has already charged, you can't stop him. If the ball is destroyed, make physical contact with him as soon as possible. It depends on the situation whether a foul is required. "
"There is another very important point."
"Always keep a certain distance from the opponent's offensive players!"
"When the opponent's players attack, it is very necessary to maintain a certain distance. If the opponent is very fast and you are very close to the opponent, you will be passed by just accelerating, and it will be difficult for you to turn around when defending. "
"If there is a suitable distance, you will have a certain amount of time to react when the opponent accelerates, but if the distance is too large, the opponent will easily make moves or pass the ball, and this kind of defense will be useless."
"Don't look at his body and feet, because fast players usually make fake body movements when changing direction or starting up, and just stare at the ball."
"Defend sideways, use sliding steps, and move your feet forward and backward. He uses his speed to get at you. You only need to turn 45 degrees to catch up."
"There is also a pressing defense, trying to disrupt his pace. When the player is dribbling the ball, it is actually difficult to do it step by step, so when he touches the ball between two times, he cannot control it. With football, the possibilities are endless for you.”
"The most important thing is, don't think about stealing the ball! Instead, destroy and interfere. Use your toes to poke. It's fast and difficult to detect."
Ramos and the Real Madrid defenders nodded repeatedly. Zidane taught them another serious lesson at the end of the game.
I don’t know if these skills can block Pato’s power in the second half.
Time was almost up, and the two sides returned to the court. In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
In the first forty-five minutes, the two sides fought to a one-on-one draw, but what kind of sparks will there be in the second half?
Villarreal took the lead from the center circle.
After the opponent kicked the ball, he advanced with the ball from the midfielder and came to the edge of Real Madrid's penalty area. At this time, Modric made an accurate prediction and reached out to steal the ball at the right time.
Originally, this steal was very clean and beautiful, without any problem, but Villarreal's midfielder seemed a little anxious, and showed a fierce look on Modric's face, as if Modric was his prey.
This mentality is very dangerous, and it will cause a foul if you are not careful!
As expected, there was a pushing motion on his hand!
He was going to commit a foul!
I don't know what the opponent's coach said in the midfield, and what tactical changes he made. Anyway, at this moment, Real Madrid suddenly felt that something was wrong with the game.
The referee hurried over to stop it. The players on both sides did not get a card, but they all received verbal warnings from the referee.
The game ended here, and it started to get a little intense.
In the following games, the players on both sides obviously went from being very harmonious to a scene of dragon fighting.
Various flying tackles, sliding tackles, and small movements of the hands continued, and they all started to work hard secretly!
The offensive core of Real Madrid is still Bai Ran holding up the scene. The first thing everyone did after receiving the ball was to look for Bai Ran's figure.
Bai Ran's running position also made his teammates very comfortable. He could always find the opponent's defensive gap and run out of a state where no one was guarding him, so that his teammates could better pass the ball to his feet.
Just when he turned around and pushed forward with the ball after receiving the ball, the action that shouldn't have happened finally happened.
While Bai Ran was protecting the ball, there was a Villarreal player behind him, rushing all the way, with unstoppable momentum!
From behind Bai Ran, the Villarreal player flew to tackle the ball!
You know, tackling from behind is an action that shouldn't happen on the football field!
Zidane's heart skipped a beat, it's bad!
The ball was at Bai Ran's feet, and his attention must have been all on his teammates running in the frontcourt. He didn't know about the flying tackle behind him!
This action is extremely unsportsmanlike and is expressly prohibited in football rules!
It's too dangerous. The player with the ball didn't know that he would be greeted by such an action, and he couldn't be prepared at all!
The more this happens, the easier it is to get injured!
Fortunately, Bai Ran had a God's perspective. At the moment of the flying tackle, Bai Ran had actually realized it.
But it was too late. The opponent's player was also very fast and completed the tackle in almost an instant!
But it was also necessary, because of the God's perspective, Bai Ran predicted this action in advance. Although he couldn't dodge it, he still gently lifted his feet and escaped.
Although he was not injured, this foul was a foregone conclusion.
Bai Ran was very angry. He didn't fall to the ground to ask for a free kick, but stood up and pushed the opponent's player hard!
"Damn, are you crazy?"
"You can only play dirty with this kind of action. If you can't afford to lose, don't play!"
"Coward!"
The opponent's player laughed and looked at Bai Ran's insulting action. At this time, the referee ran over, pulled the two players apart, and showed the opponent's defensive player a yellow card!
Yellow card?
It is estimated that the referee did not see the opponent's action when he ran over. The meaning of such discrimination must be a red card on the football field!
And the opponent only got a yellow card!
This also surprised Bai Ran, but it didn't matter, he successfully angered Bai Ran.
The stands on the sidelines finally started to get lively.
The fans insulted each other loudly, and Real Madrid's teammates saw this situation and gathered around. One group of people questioned the other team's attitude and words just now, while another group of people put pressure on the referee.
However, the referee had already made a decision, and 99% of it would not be changed. Their protest was invalid. This was a missed call.
Bai Ran stood up and nodded. He finally understood.
Villarreal also saw from the first half of the game that the only core of Real Madrid was Bai Ran.
Whether it was offense or defense, in the 4141 tactical system, Bai Ran was the absolute core of the team.
It was like the heart of a giant.
The opponent was discussing in the midfield, if this heart was stared at, would Real Madrid's offense and defense be completely useless?
At this time, the opponent's head coach touched his chin.
"If you keep an eye on Bai Ran, Real Madrid will be ruined?"
"What if Bai Ran is ruined?"
Instantly, everyone in the locker room showed a look of fear in their pupils. They didn't expect their head coach to be so cruel.
But after all, it's football, and the football field is a battlefield. They have to do everything they can to win. In some special cases, they have to take special measures.
No one among the players refuted what the head coach said. Although they felt that it was a bit against sports ethics, they all acquiesced.
So it was normal for this scene to appear on the field.
But fortunately, Bai Ran's God's perspective and his quick reaction speed saved his life.
So this foul didn't hurt Bai Ran at all, but he was still scared and frightened.
This is why Bai Ran got anxious with the opponent as soon as he got up, because this action was basically a malicious foul to hurt the opponent.
This was unexpectedly only a yellow card.
But in Bai Ran's view, it didn't matter.
Next, Bai Ran had to take out 100% absolute concentration to deal with them.
On the football field, the score speaks!
Real Madrid is about to kick off, and this is a free kick awarded by the referee.
This ball is taken by James Rodriguez.
Bai Ran whispered a few words in James Rodriguez's ear, and then came to the front court to wait for the opportunity to be born.
After the referee blew the whistle, James Rodriguez took the penalty kick!
