Chapter 144 Who Said that a Free Kick Must Be a Crescent-Shaped Scimitar? (Two More Chapters with 10,000 Words! Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)
Therefore, when they were training 2vs3, everyone would rotate between defense and offense for several rounds, only Bai Ran was special.
That is to say, in this training, a player sometimes had to play the role of a defensive player, and his teammates fought with fewer players to intercept the ball and prevent the opponent from shooting.
And sometimes, he also needed to cooperate with his teammates to play 3 vs 2, passing the ball quickly, or simply relying on his personal ability to pass the two players of the opponent, with the ultimate goal of hitting the ball into the goal.
But Bai Ran was different.
This kind of training had lasted for a whole afternoon, and all the players had rotated offense and defense for many rounds, but Bai Ran was still assigned to the offensive end!
"Ronaldo!"
C Ronaldo stepped on the ball with his foot, slowly rushed forward, and then made a straight pass. Bai Ran quickly inserted and passed the ball to Marcelo behind him with his heel. Marcelo shot the ball and the ball hit the net handsomely.
Marcelo's expression was extremely exaggerated. He stuck out his tongue, widened his eyes, and jumped around the sidelines. Ronaldo showed a doting smile and shook his head helplessly.
Bai Ran looked at Zidane and said, "Coach."
"Hmm?"
Zidane put his hands in his pockets, looked at the situation on the field, and heard Bai Ran calling him, so he responded, "What?"
Bai Ran put his hands on his waist and said to Zidane on the sidelines, "Coach, why are other players participating in defense, and I haven't been assigned to the defense team for so long?"
Now Bai Ran's various values have reached a very high level, whether it is passing, breakthrough, shooting or strength, they have reached the pinnacle, and it is not easy to break through.
But there is only defense.
Only the ability of defense, only 41 points!
This level, let alone La Liga, is not acceptable even in the Spanish Second Division B.
Fortunately, during Zidane's time, Bai Ran's position in Castilla was built into a free man in the frontcourt, while Hermoso and Patri took up the defense, and Bai Ran didn't need to worry about anything in the backcourt.
But I can't live like this forever!
As a midfielder, he can't give all the focus of defense to his teammates. Although Zidane gave him such a privilege, it was only a special tactic under specific circumstances.
Bai Ran can't count on this in every game, so his defensive ability must also be improved.
No matter what, defense is also one of the six basic attributes of a midfielder. If this is too poor, you will never reach the title of "all-around midfielder" and you will not be able to unlock those exclusive skills.
But Zidane said: "You don't need to train defense."
"In the next game against Roma in the Champions League, you have more important tasks to do."
"Defense here, don't worry about it."
Bai Ran was stunned for a moment, and Zidane also gave him a look. This look was full of tacit understanding for him, as if... only two people understood this meaning.
Does Zidane want to use that set of tactics again?
He really dares!
He is only 17 years old. In such an important Champions League, you dare to change the tactics so drastically. Aren't you afraid of messing up!
Although Bai Ran knows it in his heart, after all, with the bonus of the system, his performance will not be too bad, but Zidane doesn't know this!
It can only be said that this head coach is too bold. Next, because of Bai Ran's arrival, Real Madrid changed its tactics. If this is the case, it means...
Every important game in the future may have a different ending than the previous life!
Real Madrid may affect Zidane's deployment of troops because of his joining, so that it may ruin the glorious era of three consecutive Champions Leagues, or it may create a greater and glorious dynasty!
The timeline has changed because of this, and Bai Ran should work harder to deal with it and take every game seriously.
Soon, three days of training are over, and the game day is coming.
Real Madrid will visit the Olympic Stadium and challenge the Serie A powerhouse Roma!
The atmosphere at the game today was simply full. The Olympic Stadium was packed with people. Fans from both sides entered the stadium in advance, not daring to miss any minute of the game!
This was a unique event. Before the game started, Zidane also attended the pre-match press conference.
At the press conference, the reporter interviewed: "Mr. Zidane, Roma coach Spalletti previously expressed his views on Real Madrid's game. Have you seen it?"
"If you have seen it, what do you think about it? Is there anything you want to say to today's opponent?"
Zidane raised his eyebrows and said: "Well, I also saw Spalletti's interview, and I know what he said."
"For this game, I don't have much to respond to. Real Madrid is one of the most successful clubs in the world. No matter who the coach is, no matter what kind of personnel changes are made in the team, it is undeniable that Real Madrid is Real Madrid."
"Real Madrid is always here, waiting for you to surpass it. Let's see if you can do it."
"Many people have challenged him before, but you can look at the results below the club rankings."
"I don't want to have too many verbal battles with Spalletti. I would rather fight him on the battlefield. As everyone wishes, the game is about to start."
Zidane is right. The game is about to start. The players are waiting to enter the player tunnel. The fans are already watching their every move intently. The referee is preparing for the pre-match work, and the commentary in the studio is already in place!
This game is very popular, and the influence of China is even greater. After all, this is Bai Ran's first time to participate in the Champions League, and it is the quarter-finals. Who doesn't watch it!
CCTV 5 Sports Channel has more than one million people who have booked the live broadcast of this game. It has become popular all over the country. Many people watch this game in front of the TV even in the early morning.
At this time, the director's camera came to the player tunnel.
The commentary of CCTV China is very excited!
"We are quietly waiting for the announcement of the player list. Zidane has not released much information before. Let's go into the player tunnel and see if there is the face that we all expect and the people of the country are looking forward to!"
Players under the age of 21 in the Champions League do not need to register and can go on the field directly, so this link is omitted, and everyone can't guess whether Bai Ran is in Zidane's tactical instructions.
The camera swept across the entrance of the player tunnel and came to the faces of the players.
"We can see that Ramos is in a very good mental state today. Real Madrid is full of vitality. Their eyes are firm and they are obviously well prepared."
"This is Pjanic."
"Eh? We can see that Perotti from Roma has entered the starting lineup and is preparing to play. This is something we did not expect."
"Roma's new player Perotti unexpectedly started the game and formed an attacking line with El Shaarawy and Salah. Their explosive power in the frontcourt is still very strong!"
"We don't seem to see Seydou Keita and De Rossi in the Roma team. It seems that these two players are not in the starting lineup today."
"Eh!"
At this moment, the commentator discovered a figure in a silver-gray jersey in the passage!
"Is that Bai Ran?!"
"That figure is Bai Ran! That's right! No. 37 Bai Ran!"
"Dear audience, we finally saw this scene. It seems that Zidane brought Bai Ran to the Olympic Stadium and brought Bai Ran to the UEFA Champions League!"
"This is a milestone. This is a game of epoch-making significance for Chinese football!"
"Let us send our blessings to Bai Ran. I hope he can have a good performance today!"
Players from both sides entered the stadium. Bai Ran followed his teammates into the stadium. The lights shone down, as if it was a lifetime ago.
Although the lights of the Bernabeu were still flashing, the feeling was different.
Entering the European war for the first time, Bai Ran suddenly felt his heart surge! Especially when he saw the Champions League logo hanging on the roof of the stadium, he could not hide his excitement.
Especially the Champions League logo printed on his jersey, what does it represent?
It represents him, Bai Ran! An Asian, a Chinese!
Entering this planet, the stadium of one of the world's top events!
What a proud thing!
Bai Ran was accompanied by a little caddy. He held the caddy's hand and asked quietly, "What's your name?"
"Güler."
The child looked at Bai Ran with tears in his eyes. His eyes were full of clarity. Judging from his facial features, he should be a handsome guy in the future.
But this name shocked Bai Ran!
"Güler?"
Is it the future Turkish genius player, the rising star Güler who joined Real Madrid at the age of 16 with a transfer fee of 30 million?
This year is 2016, which means that Güler is only 10 years old now!
Just right!
I didn't expect him to come here to be a caddy today!
The child nodded.
"Arda Güler."
Bai Ran thought to himself, that must be right, it's him!
In the future, he has seen the development of Güler, which is simply a long way to go. He joined at the young age of 16...
Hiss, it seems wrong. It seems that he has surpassed Ronaldo and Benzema in Real Madrid at the age of 17.
The data is extremely eye-catching, and the performance is even more sensational.
Looking at it this way, he is more like that monster!
Thinking of this, Bai Ran smiled, touched Güler's head, and entered the field.
Feng Shui has turned, this time I am the protagonist of the football world on this planet.
After everyone listened to the theme song of the Champions League, the captain of the other team today, Florenci, and Ramos of Real Madrid got together and started to toss a coin.
In the end, it was decided that Roma would choose the side first, and Ramos chose to kick off first.
The players of both sides set up their formations, and the game finally officially began!
"Pull back! Modric! Pull back!"
Zidane put one hand in his pocket, pointed at the situation on the field with one hand, and screamed desperately.
The opponent's coach Spalletti also called out loudly: "Shalawi, get closer to the sideline!"
"Wankel! Come back! Come back! Back to position!"
The players of both sides went back and forth, fighting fiercely. The intensity of the Champions League game was indeed different, completely different from La Liga!
Although La Liga is much higher than the level of the Spanish Second Division B, the rhythm is still too slow and the game is too comfortable.
When it came to this kind of rhythm game, Bai Ran really felt excited!
It turned out that the previous games were all suppressing himself!
Only the Champions League game can give him the greatest stimulation!
His potential was instantly stimulated, and his running position on the field was extremely threatening. Countless times of receiving the ball, passing the ball and running, Bai Ran has achieved the level of a top midfielder!
The opponent's Totti, as the spiritual pillar of the Red Wolves, was also directing his teammates on how to play. After Bai Ran held the ball, he turned around and pushed forward. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Totti in front of him!
Such a legendary superstar defended in front of him, but Bai Ran was not panicked at all!
Swish!
Bai Ran made a bicycle and changed direction, and easily got rid of Totti through his clever movements under his feet. Totti was experienced and tried to block Bai Ran out with his position.
At this time, Bai Ran once again protected the ball and turned around. A fake move deceived Totti's defense, causing him to lose his center of gravity directly.
"Hiss..." Totti frowned as he looked at Bai Ran's back as he took the ball away.
My God, who is this kid!
So strong!
I was played like a toy in front of him. Is it so exaggerated!
Facing the strong fight of the opponent's back midfielder, Bai Ran once again made a Marseille turn and passed the opponent cleanly!
Such a game is so exciting!
Bai Ran did not feel the slightest bit of fatigue or tiredness, nor did he feel how unacceptable the intensity of the confrontation was. He just felt that it was so damn fun to play!
This is called playing football, this is called competition!
"Modric!"
Bai Ran shouted loudly, and directly kicked a long pass. The ball crossed the court and came horizontally to Modric's feet.
The quality of this long pass was extremely high, and Modric stopped very comfortably!
At the moment of stopping the ball, he gave Bai Ran a thumbs up.
Beautiful!
After Modric received the ball, the defensive gap in front was basically very large. Modric took a step forward to adjust his position, and then kicked a long shot!
Bang-a loud noise
Unfortunately, the ball was higher than the crossbar, and the ball did not go in! A wasted opportunity.
But such an attempt still allowed Real Madrid to launch an effective attack, which helped boost morale.
The Real Madrid players gradually jogged back and returned to their respective positions.
Zidane was still shouting on the sidelines.
"Modric! Reduce your shots! Reduce your forward runs! Give the chance to Bai Ran!"
This is the tactical arrangement that Zidane had agreed with the players early in the morning!
Although Modric's shot just now was of high quality and his technique was there, their previous arrangement was to let Bai Ran be responsible for various offensive organizations in the frontcourt of Real Madrid, while Modric played more of an engineer role, mainly protecting Bai Ran's ball and supporting Bai Ran.
In Castilla, he did this, and Bai Ran gave Zidane an unexpected surprise.
This time in the Champions League, I don't know if this kid can scare me again!
Modric looked at the coaching bench, nodded to Zidane, and ran towards the ball again.
Bai Ran's performance on the field was very outstanding, with all kinds of one-touch passes, organization and escape proficiency. The existence of a fulcrum in the frontcourt made their offense very three-dimensional.
Totti had long been eyeing this kid, but he tried to steal the ball from his feet several times, but was either passed by Bai Ran or eaten alive by his speed.
No, he couldn't keep up with his rhythm!
After playing against Bai Ran for ten minutes, Totti was already breathing hard!
At this moment, Isco on the wing dribbled forward and saw Bai Ran running in the middle. According to Zidane's style of play, he passed the ball directly to Bai Ran.
After Bai Ran got the ball, he strode forward without hesitation!
Seeing this, Totti knew that the ball was dangerous. After letting him in, whether passing or shooting, it would pose a huge threat to Roma's goal!
But his speed really couldn't keep up with Bai Ran!
So Totti hurried forward, flew over from the side, and fell to the ground to tackle Bai Ran!
Although it was a flying tackle, Totti kept his feet steady, and when Bai Ran fell, Totti also made a protective move to prevent Bai Ran from getting hurt.
The commentator's pupils dilated when he saw this scene.
"Wow, this is a clash between players of the new and old centuries. Totti made a flying tackle on Bai Ran. He really can't keep up with the pace of the youngsters!"
"From the data of this game, we can see that Totti has lost the ball three times and was passed by Bai Ran four times when facing Bai Ran. I wonder if Totti is not in good shape today!"
The referee's judgment on this action was very accurate. It was originally a red card action, but the foul was not malicious, it was aimed at the ball, so he ran over and gave Totti a yellow card!
Totti was given a yellow card in the 10th minute of the game!
This free kick was, of course, taken by Bai Ran.
Zidane also gave this task to Bai Ran, hoping that he could score the first free kick in the Champions League.
Bai Ran took a deep breath and stared at the goal.
The skill of the Crescent Blade was activated, showing that the probability was only 36%.
After all, the ball was still far away from the goal, and the angle was also skewed.
The most important thing is, what level is the opponent's goalkeeper?
That's Szczesny!
The goalkeeper's ability is too high, which is also one of the factors that make this ball difficult to score!
Bai Ran thought for a while and made a decision in his heart.
"Marcelo."
"Come."
Marcelo saw Bai Ran calling him, so he ran over.
Do you want me to take the penalty kick?
Bai Ran laughed and shook his head. You think too much. It's impossible for you to take the penalty kick even if Ronaldo takes the penalty kick!
He leaned close to Marcelo's ear and whispered a few words. Marcelo nodded and returned to the wall.
At this time, Bai Ran stood in front of the penalty spot again, stepped back a few steps, and took a deep breath.
And Marcelo seemed to be talking to Ronaldo on the side.
A few seconds later, Ronaldo's eyes suddenly met Bai Ran's. The two nodded at the same time, and the referee blew the whistle. This free kick must be taken!
Bai Ran took a deep breath and started to run up!
Who said that free kicks must use Beckham's skills?
Bai Ran was going to try it. With his current 92 shooting skills, can this form really work!
Bang!
