Chapter 97 There Is No Future with Benítez
The superstars on the field all showed a look of surprise.
This ball is considered an upper-middle quality assist in La Liga.
Every year in La Liga, there will be god-level assists that can be recorded in history, and these balls will also be made into highlights, and people will talk about them every year.
This assist is not really outstanding in the long river of history.
It can even be said to be mediocre.
But what shocked them was... this is a player from the second team!
How can the third-level league compare with La Liga?
It is not easy to have La Liga-level passes!
And this kid is just 16 years old!
Imagine that when these people were 16 years old, did they have this kind of passing basic skills and vision?
I believe most of them did not.
The team's training match was just to practice tactics, and there was no need for too much intensity, so the 20-minute half-time only lasted 40 minutes, and the game was over.
In the subsequent games, Bai Ran did not perform well, and was still knocked down by the opponent.
Especially Modric!
Playing against Bai Ran, Modric's defensive pressure was much less. After all, this kid was very easy to defend. As long as he was slightly physically strong, he couldn't bear it.
And his dribbling skills were not good. As long as he observed carefully, it was easy to steal the ball.
Of course, he didn't let Bai Ran go because of his poor level and young age.
The court is like a battlefield. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
Modric knew this very well. He also understood that the best respect for the opponent on the court is to go all out.
If you want to make it to La Liga, this won't work.
Modric occasionally looked at Bai Ran and smiled and shook his head.
Bai Ran also muttered in his heart. Modric didn't look very strong. Why did he have such a strong impact when he hit him?
Like a goat, strong and powerful!
This is the physical fitness of top athletes!
He was a little at a loss on the court, but fortunately, after that assist, his teammates put much less pressure on him.
Bai Ran has done the best he can, and it has exceeded the expectations of these stars. What else can he be asked to do?
So 40 minutes later, Benítez shouted, the game is over.
The final score between the two sides is 1-0. Of course, the score is not important.
Bai Ran's assist was the only goal scored in this training match.
The stars of Real Madrid have a new look at this kid!
Originally thought that this kid was useless, but he didn't expect that he had this skill.
It can be seen that his talent is still very high, but he is too immature.
But Bai Ran is still very young and has unlimited development possibilities in the future.
The young are formidable!
It doesn't matter if the ability is a little weak. As long as the talent is shown, there will definitely be a team willing to train such young players.
The talents in the Real Madrid team are so strong that the young players in their youth training camps have been sent to all parts of the world, but there are many other strong teams willing to take the trouble to train good seedlings.
And Bai Ran has this strength.
After the game, Benítez also summarized the effect of the tactics with everyone.
"I am very dissatisfied with this game."
"You didn't play the tactical system I wanted, and the offense was a mess."
"Especially Cristiano."
"You didn't perform well in the frontcourt. I asked you to retreat to receive the ball, but you only asked for the ball in front."
"Did I teach you that?"
Little did they know that the only goal in this game was scored by this superstar.
Other players could also hear that Benítez was too harsh on Ronaldo, obviously on purpose.
However, Benítez didn't say a word about Bai Ran's performance.
After all, in his eyes, Bai Ran was no different from not existing.
You can ignore him on the training ground and get along well with him in private, that's all.
Children are the easiest to deceive, how can they have so many thoughts, just coaxing him can become their own strength.
Afterwards, the training match ended, and everyone followed Benítez's instructions and rested for ten minutes.
Bai Ran wiped his sweat, took out his mobile phone and told the fans about his experience today.
"Brothers, Real Madrid played a training match today."
"I finally saw the gap between myself and them. I am still far behind them."
"I rarely even touched the ball."
"I can't even protect the ball, and my positioning is not good enough. Let alone the giants, I think I am not even at the average level in La Liga."
"Fortunately, everyone is very friendly to me. There is nothing much to say. Come on!"
The fans in China saw the video posted by Bai Ran, and immediately realized their thoughts, so they made comments one after another.
"Alas, I guessed this would be the result."
"It is most important to know your position, and don't rush for quick success!"
"Bai Ran, I have to persuade you to go back to Castilla first. If you perform like this, they will definitely not let you play."
At this time, Bai Ran also received a task from the system.
[Task Tips: Return to Castilla]
[Reward: Random]
After seeing these comments, Bai Ran nodded repeatedly.
He originally came to Real Madrid to complete the task. Before, fans suggested that he train with the Real Madrid first team, and the reward was C-level.
Seeing that the reward was too generous, he was not a human being!
Bai Ran resolutely came to the Bernabeu for a trial.
But he saw the gap between himself at a glance and could not adapt to the rhythm of Real Madrid at all.
Now it's time to leave.
Coincidentally, he also had this idea.
Staying in Real Madrid did not help his career, but he felt it was harmful.
Anyway, the C-level reward has been obtained. With his current level, Real Madrid is definitely not a place to stay.
At this time, Benítez gave an order, and everyone gathered to continue the afternoon training.
Since they had already played a match at noon, the training content in the afternoon was relatively simple and much easier.
The purpose was to keep these people's muscles active.
For Bai Ran, these trainings were also bearable.
After an afternoon, Bai Ran and the players of Real Madrid's first team got along very well.
Benítez watched this scene from the sidelines and nodded secretly.
It seems that his plan was implemented well.
As expected! Bai Ran had no obstacles in the Real Madrid locker room!
He also maintained a very good relationship with everyone!
Seeing this, Benítez smiled.
"Okay, the training is over!"
"Everyone go back and have a good rest and prepare for the next game."
"Bai Ran, come here."
Everyone dispersed, and Bai Ran walked to Benítez.
Of course, Raul followed closely behind.
Benítez glanced at Raúl, then said, "I'll talk to Bai Ran about the training, you go first."
Raúl frowned immediately, who knew what this fat man had in mind?
But after thinking about it, he didn't dare to do anything to Bai Ran, so he turned to Bai Ran and said, "I'll wait for you in the car at the door, call me if you have anything."
Bai Ran nodded, Raúl glared at Benítez, then turned and left the training ground.
Benítez smiled, put his arm around Bai Ran's shoulders, and walked towards the office.
In the head coach's office.
"How do you feel about today's training match?"
Benitez sat in the boss chair and looked at Bai Ran calmly.
Bai Ran was neither humble nor arrogant, and smiled: "Not bad, my teammates take good care of me, and their competitive level is also very high. There are many things I can learn from them."
"Hehe..."
Benitez poured a cup of coffee into the cup and said: "I didn't mention you just now, you should know the reason."
"You must have felt it yourself, there is still a big gap between you and our Real Madrid."
Speaking of this, Bai Ran was a little puzzled.
Since Benitez disliked him so much, why did he ask him to come for a trial?
At this time, some doubts were exposed.
Benítez glanced at Bai Ran and continued, "You are too young. Although you have talent, you lack experience. You don't handle many details well, and your physical ability can't keep up."
"Of course, I also know that it is very difficult for a young player to have a huge improvement in one season."
"But your talent is obvious to all of us. I am also a person who loves talents, you know."
"I don't want a talent like you to be buried by the second team, so I brought you here."
"What I want to tell you is that you have to be prepared to not play in the game this season."
Huh?
Bai Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at Benítez. This sounded wrong.
If you really love talents, you should let me play in the game, whether it is staying in the second team or taking the risk to follow Real Madrid to La Liga.
Or simply loaning myself out to improve my skills, that is understandable.
But you love talents and let me rot on the sidelines. Isn't this a contradiction?
"If I'm not allowed to play, then what's the point of me coming here?"
Bai Ran didn't mean to flatter at all, and spoke frankly.
There was even a hint of questioning in his tone, and he was not polite.
Benítez said slowly: "Don't worry."
"You can't play on the field, you can't play in the game, but you can train with the best players in the world here and feel the atmosphere of a top club."
"This will also help you!"
"And there is one most important point."
"Here, you don't have any game tasks, so you will have a lot of free time. Take this opportunity to get to know your teammates, get to know them, and build good relationships."
"Besides, you can see that they can't focus on the game now."
"Getting in touch with them more is a good thing for Real Madrid and your future."
Ah...
Bai Ran instantly understood what Benítez meant.
He finally knew why Benítez asked him to train with the first team.
This old guy has bad intentions!
You old man, do you think I haven't read the news?
Real Madrid is in turmoil, the superstars in the locker room reject the coach, and the two sides are incompatible!
Benítez wants to sacrifice his career to be a lubricant between them and improve this situation!
To put it bluntly, it means making himself a cannon fodder!
And what's good for my future.
I think it's good for you!
This can't be done!
As soon as Bai Ran understood this meaning, he immediately made up his mind that this must not be done!
You don't know how important this opportunity is to me!
Bai Ran's career can only be decided by himself, he must play well!
Who will be your cannon fodder?
Go play somewhere else!
What's more, although Bai Ran gets along well with those superstars, he has no interest in getting involved in the disputes within the Real Madrid team.
He doesn't want to be a pawn at their mercy.
So Bai Ran resolutely said: "Coach, I have an idea."
"Hmm? You say." Benítez raised his eyebrows, his face calm.
"I want to go back to Castilla."
What?
Benítez frowned suddenly: "Say it again?"
Bai Ran's face was calm as water, and he said in a deep voice word by word: "I, want to go back to Castilla."
Benítez was shocked.
Is this kid crazy?
He doesn't want to stay in Real Madrid, but go back to that rotten team in the Spanish Second Division B?
He must be crazy!
Is the future so important to this kid?
You know, if he comes to Real Madrid, he will definitely renew his contract with Real Madrid, and the salary of that contract may be something he can never reach in his lifetime.
And he is not tempted to get along with so many celebrities every day?
Thinking of this, Bai Ran spoke again.
"I think you are right, coach. I am too inexperienced and my ability is far from the level of La Liga."
"I want to go back to the Spanish Second Division B League to level up and improve myself. One day I will come to the Bernabeu to play football with my strength."
"Okay, that's it, coach. Starting tomorrow, I won't come."
After saying that, Bai Ran left. Just when Benítez was about to call him, he hesitated.
Forget it, he is just a chess piece.
Keeping him like this will make me, the coach, look like I have no dignity, and it will show that I have ulterior motives and will be easily exposed.
After thinking about it, I still didn't stop Bai Ran.
After Bai Ran went out, he went directly to the gate of the base and found Raul's car.
"What did he say to you?"
Raul fastened his seat belt and looked at Bai Ran.
Bai Ran pursed his lips and said, "Raul, starting tomorrow, I will return to Castilla."
"No need to come to the Real Madrid base."
"Well..." Raul was a little surprised, but he couldn't help but feel lucky in his heart.
He didn't agree with Bai Ran coming to Real Madrid at first, but it was Bai Ran's own decision, so he had to respect him.
"Why? Are you unhappy in Real Madrid?"
Asked the reason, Bai Ran shook his head.
"No, Benítez told me that I might not play this season, and let me focus on getting good relationships in the locker room first."
"I have no interest in these things, I just want to get stronger! Play games! And then...get stronger!"
Raul chuckled. Benítez, the old guy, couldn't handle a young man like Bai Ran.
It's too normal.
He doesn't understand Bai Ran at all!
Bai Ran's personality is really not something that an ordinary head coach can control.
Then Raul smiled and patted Bai Ran on the shoulder: "You made the right choice, at least in my opinion."
"Let's go home, or do you want to eat something with me?"
Bai Ran was very grateful to Raul for understanding him. He also believed that Coach Zidane and Raul, the two big guys, really wanted him well and stood on his side.
Maybe his choice made Zidane a little disappointed, but that was because Zidane didn't know that he had a system task.
Now, Bai Ran is back.
Thinking about going to Castilla Base tomorrow, and having nothing to do tonight, he agreed to Raul, and the two went to a western restaurant together.
The two chatted a lot during the meal, including some things about Raul's childhood, what opportunities led him to choose football, and how he continued on this path.
Bai Ran listened with relish while slurping the pasta in his mouth.
Raul also tried his best to pass on his experience to Bai Ran to prevent future generations from taking detours.
After a pleasant conversation, the two said goodbye and Bai Ran returned home.
Not long after arriving home, Bai Ran's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hello."
Picked up the phone, and a deep voice came from the other end.
Bai Ran asked, "Who are you?"
The voice from the other end came, "I'm the assistant coach of Real Madrid."
"Coach Benítez asked me to inform you that the trial training is over."
"You don't need to come tomorrow, stay in the second team."
Bai Ran agreed expressionlessly and hung up the phone.
It seems that Benítez did not dare to act rashly. After all, the second team is now managed by Zidane. Even if he is very dissatisfied with Bai Ran's departure today, he can't do anything to him.
I can only kick him away and let him go back to the second team.
This is just what Bai Ran wished.
In his mind, the system prompt sounded quietly.
[Return to Castilla, mission completed! ]
[Reward: Free attribute points +10! ]
Sure enough, the mission was completed just after receiving the news that Real Madrid would not let him go.
Bai Ran thought carefully, ten points are not more or less, where should I add them?
Now Zidane has arranged a very special tactic for himself, which can be said to be unprecedented.
Bai Ran has just come into contact with the position of "free man in the front court". When there is an opportunity on the offensive end, Bai Ran can play any position.
That is to say, Bai Ran will have more and more shooting opportunities in the future.
The demand for forward insertion has increased, so shooting ability is needed.
But my current shooting is just over 60, which can only be regarded as a lower-middle and weaker level in the Spanish Second Division B.
This won't work, I can't waste opportunities often!
Then I'd better add shooting!
Improve the weaknesses.
So Bai Ran decided: "Add a shot."
[Added a point successfully! ]
[Current shot: 72! ]
Looking at his increasing attribute points, Bai Ran nodded with satisfaction.
On the other side, inside the villa.
Raul and Zidane sat on the sofa with a calm face.
"Did Bai Ran really say that?"
Raul heard Zidane's question and nodded.
"That's true."
"Benitez probably wouldn't dare to do anything excessive, so he could only let Bai Ran go."
"This kid knows what he wants, and getting stronger is more important to him than anything else."
Zidane breathed a sigh of relief.
"He does need more game experience, which is why I don't want him to go."
"But Real Madrid has never had the habit of promoting talents from its own youth training. This time, I'm afraid Benítez..."
"The purpose is not pure."
