Chapter 120 Leaving Castilla, Zidane Takes over Real Madrid

Bai Ran was startled when he heard this. Before he could say anything, Zidane turned around and disappeared in the snow.

The snow here was much heavier than in China, and visibility was very low.

He could only see Zidane's back, which gradually turned into a pure white.

Bai Ran's Adam's apple trembled, and a warm feeling rose in his heart unconsciously.

It was getting late, and Bai Ran had almost finished training, so he took a taxi back home.

After arriving home, he took a hot bath first. Spain in winter was too cold. Then the first thing he did was to take out his mobile phone and contact his agent Alice.

On the other side of the phone, Alice's voice was clear and sweet.

"Bai Ran, what's the matter?"

Bai Ran coughed twice and said, "Alice."

"Help me prepare, I may leave Castilla."

What! ?

Alice was a little surprised on the other side of the phone.

Leaving Castilla! ?

So sudden?

Besides, didn’t Bai Ran express his thoughts to me before, that he would not transfer in this winter window?

Even some Premier League teams came to me to discuss the transfer contract of Bai Ran, but I rejected them all.

What is this all about?

Alice was about to ask for details, asking Bai Ran if he had contact with any club!

Is it Tottenham in the Premier League, or Hamburg in the Bundesliga! ?

You can leave, but you have to tell him where you are going!

As Bai Ran’s agent, I haven’t negotiated with the other club yet, and I’m leaving now?

It’s too hasty!

“Wait a minute! What’s going on with you! Where are you going?”

“Hello! Hello?”

Just at this moment, the call was suddenly hung up.

She picked up the phone and took a look, her face full of confusion.

What on earth is Bai Ran thinking!

Never mind, as his agent, of course I have to do what he wants.

Although the commission was deducted from his salary, it was his freedom to go wherever he wanted, and he could not make decisions for others.

So Alice sighed and prepared to help Bai Ran with those matters.

On the other side, Bai Ran did not hang up Alice's phone, but Mendes' phone call came in.

Bai Ran was also shocked to see that the caller ID was Mendes' number.

After answering the phone, Bai Ran frowned and asked softly: "Mendes? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Mendes' voice seemed a little excited: "Oh my God! Big news! Bai Ran!"

"Do you want to hear it!"

Bai Ran said: "Go ahead."

Bai Ran knew everything about what would happen in the future of football. As a time traveler, he knew the future direction of each team.

What big news is there?

Mendes said excitedly: "I just got the news! As far as I know, there is an 80% chance that Zidane will become the new head coach of Real Madrid!"

"Maybe it will be officially announced tomorrow morning!"

Bai Ran was calm and composed, even a little bit wanting to laugh...

This was something he had known for a long time, so how could there be any surprise?

"Oh, I know."

Mendes noticed that Bai Ran's mood was not right, so he asked: "Huh? What's wrong with you? You don't look very happy!"

"But it's true, Zidane's coaching level in Castilla is very good. You must be reluctant to lose such a coach, right?"

Bai Ran showed a mocking expression after hearing this.

Zidane knew the news and told himself first.

And he hinted to Bai Ran in his words and deeds, asking him to join Real Madrid.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was already clear.

Reluctant?

Mendes knew too little.

Bai Ran smiled. This matter is just a verbal agreement between Zidane and Bai Ran. After all, it has not been officially announced, and even a decent contract has not been drafted, so it still needs to be kept confidential.

So Bai Ran said: "No, after all, people want to move up, and going to Real Madrid is also Zidane's best choice. Real Madrid is willing to choose to believe in him, which is also a recognition of his ability."

"I think it's a very normal thing."

Mendes was speechless. He didn't expect that this young player would be so calm and calm. He could become a great player even when the sky was falling.

"But I'm still a little worried! Bai Ran."

"You see, Zidane going to Real Madrid is certainly a good thing, but in this case, your Castilla head coach must be replaced."

"Zidane was so good to you when he was young, so caring, and even like a family to you."

"I'm afraid that after he leaves, your new coach will not be so good to you."

Although Bai Ran knew that this was impossible, he still pretended to be serious and said, "It shouldn't be. It's just a change of coach. It will be fine after some adaptation."

Mendes lowered his head and thought. Now that Zidane has tailored the front-court free man tactics for Bai Ran, Bai Ran has adapted very well.

In this system, his offensive talents can be fully exerted.

There will be a lot of goals and assists in every game.

He is actually afraid that after Zidane leaves, the new coach will not continue to use this tactic.

Bai Ran cannot guarantee his tactical position in the team, or even his playing time!

In this way, Bai Ran's performance will not be as outstanding as it is now, and the data will not be so exaggerated. When the summer transfer window opens next season... these data are very useful.

When the club sees these data, it is more useful than anything else!

This is your bargaining chip for transfer negotiations!

At the same time, this is also closely related to the agent.

Bai Ran just smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is going well for me. I will contact you if there are any changes."

But Mendes didn't give up and asked:

"You have to think clearly. If Castilla changes its coach, you may not be able to play your current position comfortably, nor may you have the core position in the team now!"

"This will affect your transfer and career at that time."

Bai Ran obviously disdained what he said and said, "I will decide my own career. I will contact you if there are any changes."

"I want to rest, bye."

After that, Bai Ran hung up the phone.

Of course, your own future must be decided by yourself.

Zidane has given him this opportunity now, and he is still looking forward to the future.

I don't know if he will reuse me when he reaches the first team, and whether I can catch up with the glorious era of three consecutive Champions Leagues.

The next morning, there was an absolutely explosive news in the football world!

It is enough to shock the entire football world!

Real Madrid officially announced that Zidane will be their next head coach! Take up the baton of Real Madrid!

Real Madrid Football Club of La Liga held a press conference and officially announced: the team's current head coach Rafa Benítez was fired, and the former French football star Zidane, who once played for Real Madrid, took over the team!

Finally, Benítez was fired.

Just over a month after Florentino publicly supported him.

Real Madrid's die-hard fans should have expected this news!

Even though the president of Real Madrid had previously stated that he would continue to support Benítez, in their view, all this was just "yesterday's reappearance".

Marca Radio, "AS" newspaper and famous Spanish journalist Balaguer all confirmed the news, and everything seemed to have been settled!

As soon as this news came out, the comment area exploded!

Everyone was stunned by Real Madrid's operation!

"Why is Zidane involved in this mess!"

"It should have been changed a long time ago! I didn't think highly of Benítez from the beginning!"

"I hope Zidane can lead Real Madrid well."

"Oh my god, this is too explosive! It was announced suddenly, and I was not mentally prepared at all!"

Of course, there are still many doubts about the legendary Real Madrid coach!

"Zidane has never coached a top league team, can he do it?"

"Can a coach who just came out of the Spanish Second Division B adapt to the rhythm of La Liga?"

"It's impossible. I don't think he can lead a top club for the first time without any experience."

"Indeed, as a good player, you may not be a good coach."

After all, Zidane's coaching career resume is somewhat mediocre, and he has not had any experience coaching in the top league so far.

Not to mention a top-level club like Real Madrid.

Rely on him to save Real Madrid in distress? Is this feasible?

You know, before Benítez arrived this season, Real Madrid's head coach was Ancelotti.

In addition to the four major empty things caused by objective factors, in fact, Real Madrid's cohesion at that stage was still good.

Whether it is tactical execution, buying and selling players, or handling relationships in the locker room, Ancelotti has done very well.

Now fans really don't ask Zidane to do well, and they are grateful that he can reach Ancelotti's level.

In short, replacing Benítez is the top priority.

There are also many fans who have been paying attention to Zidane for a long time and think that he must be fine and have such confidence in Zidane.

"Not necessarily, you can see it from the Spanish Second Division B League. Castilla led by Zidane has won nearly 20 games so far. What do you say?"

"In fact, he is still quite talented. I heard that the team under him is managed very well and has produced many talented seedlings."

"Maybe Zidane is really good! I've watched his games before. The national derby that day made me so angry that I went to watch Castilla's game. That was a massacre..."

When that game was mentioned, many people remembered it.

Some people just watched the second team's game on a whim and didn't leave much impression.

After the netizens reminded me, it was completely evoked.

Ah...

It turned out that the head coach of that game was Zidane!

Speaking of this, many people still have some trust in Zidane.

Even if there is no championship this season, it doesn't matter, at least it's better than Benítez, that waste.

The results are one aspect, and the main thing is to make Real Madrid a team that people can like again, which is the key.

You know, when Benítez was coaching, Real Madrid lost a lot of fans!

On the other hand, inside the Castilla base, training was held as usual.

But today is a special day, and Zidane asked them to wait in the meeting room.

Everyone was talking about it in the morning, discussing why they didn't gather at the training ground today!

"Why is the coach so abnormal today, making us wait in the meeting room?"

"Could it be that there will be another tactical demonstration today?"

I remember that Zidane gave them a special lesson before, which was a tactical demonstration. The whole day of the class, many players almost fell asleep.

A voice sounded from the other side.

"Bullshit, I guess there will be an award ceremony or something! Didn't you see that the coach has not been here these days? Maybe he won the best head coach award."

What this person said makes sense. After all, Zidane led the team to win 19 consecutive victories, which was an unprecedented victory in the Western Second Division B.

But is it necessary to make such a grand victory in a mere third-level league?

At this time, Gomez on the side said: "Don't guess."

"The coach is leaving."

Ah?

Everyone looked over, what?

The coach is leaving?

"Where are you going?"

"Gomez, do you know any inside information? Tell me!"

Gomez shook his head helplessly: "Don't you guys watch the news when you get up in the morning?"

"Just look at the official account of Real Madrid and you'll know."

Real Madrid official account...

These people took out their phones to read the news of the day.

Real Madrid issued an official announcement that after Benítez stepped down, Zidane will replace him to coach Real Madrid...

Fuck!

These people's hearts skipped a beat, this is too shocking!

It turns out that the coach didn't come to the training ground these days because of this!

He's going to Real Madrid to teach those stars to play football!

"Oh my God, is this true?"

"Reliable! It's officially announced by the official account! It must be true!"

"Oh my God, I'm not ready yet."

"To be honest, I really don't want to leave the coach."

After a while, Zidane pushed the door open. He was dressed in a suit and tie, very spirited and decent, and seemed to be in much better condition than usual.

After entering the door, the players' eyes changed when they looked at him.

There was a hint of sadness in their reluctance.

"Coach."

When Zidane entered the field, everyone nodded and waved to greet him.

Zidane also smiled and nodded at them.

"Hello, everyone."

"Before the training today, I want to announce something to everyone."

Zidane's tone was steady, and he seemed to have prepared for today.

Rodriguez looked at his hands in vain, while Hermoso's eyes were a little red.

Gomez on the side looked solemn, looking straight ahead, and Patri, who was sitting next to him, hugged his arms thoughtfully.

The substitutes behind were all dumbfounded, and they had not yet come out of the news just now.

And Bai Ran sat in his seat with a calm face, waiting for this moment to come.

It seems that everyone has their own thoughts about Zidane's upcoming departure.

Zidane cleared his throat and said, "I may have to leave here in the near future."

"I will go to the Bernabeu to coach Real Madrid."

"I believe that taking on this responsibility will not be heavier than leading you."

As soon as Zidane said this, these people understood that the matter that had been making a lot of noise some time ago finally had a conclusion.

It was Zidane who became the head coach of Real Madrid!

At this point, Zidane continued, "I am holding a meeting with everyone today, and I also want to say goodbye to everyone formally."

"I am very happy during my time in Castilla. Every day I train with everyone is the most precious time in my life."

At this point, Hermoso wiped his nose.

"Is it because our level is not good enough that the coach has to leave?"

Zidane smiled and shook his head: "It has nothing to do with your level."

"Each of you was a very young kid when you came here, and you performed very well on the training ground."

"No matter how many seasons we have been together, you are my best disciples."

"But people always have joys and sorrows, and all good things must come to an end."

"Real Madrid is in crisis now, and you should know that."

At this point, the players nodded one after another.

Real Madrid has been under pressure from public opinion for a long time. Real Madrid under Benítez's coaching is like a pile of loose sand and has been criticized.

The locker room is also in chaos, and the whole team has no cohesion at all.

It is indeed lacking a spiritual leader.

Zidane continued: "In my career as a player, Real Madrid has been kind to me."

"Now he is in trouble, I must save Real Madrid."

"At least do my best, I think this is what I should do."

"So, don't doubt your position in my heart, and don't doubt yourself. This is my choice and has nothing to do with you."

After these words came out, the players felt relieved.

At least it was not because they were too bad that Zidane chose to leave.

Another player asked: "Coach, who will coach us after you leave?"

Hearing this question, they all nodded.

Where Castilla will go, this is a very important question!

Zidane said, "I will give you a surprise."

"The person who will coach you has been chosen, and we are still waiting for the confirmation."

"From Di Stefano to the Bernabeu, this is a big challenge. It is also the first time for me to coach a top league team."

"But fortunately, I am still in Real Madrid. In a sense, I am still with you."

"Although I am about to leave the Bernabeu, I will always pay attention to the performance of each of you. I hope you can give 100% of your energy to deal with the next game and life."

Zidane's words are very reasonable, but the players don't have such courage.

They range from teenagers to about 30 years old. Their age and experience are not as rich as Zidane. Facing the departure of the coach who has shared weal and woe, they are a little sad.

Finally, after Zidane finished speaking, he looked at the corner on the side.

The Asian - Bai Ran!

Zidane said in a deep voice: "There is another news."

"Bai Ran will also leave with me and go to the Bernabeu."
