Chapter 171 You Call This Average Performance? !
Not long after this goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the halftime. Halftime passed and the score was fixed at 2-0, with Real Madrid leading at home.
The players from both sides returned to the locker room, and Bai Ran welcomed the applause of the fans.
The players of Sevilla seemed a little frustrated, pressing their noses with dark lines on their faces.
They did not play well in this game, at least in the first half.
They must make some changes in the second half of the game, otherwise they will not get anything in this game and leave the Bernabeu with zero points.
In the locker room, the coach of Sevilla was furious and yelled at the players. The excitement and anger could be heard in the corridor.
The other side seemed much happier. Zidane of Real Madrid praised the performance of the players, especially Bai Ran's concession to Bale, who was also very moved.
Just a simple adjustment of tactics, Zidane replaced Casemiro with their Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez.
After a ten-minute break, the second half of the game kicked off. The two sides exchanged venues and the game continued.
At the beginning of the second half, Sevilla launched a good offensive. The winger broke into the edge of the penalty area and saved the ball from the sideline when he passed Marcelo. The ball did not go out of bounds!
Then the winger kicked the ball and crossed it. There was a melee in the penalty area.
The forward was trying to score in the penalty area. The ball was in danger!
At this critical moment, the referee blew the whistle!
"Ah? What's going on?"
The referee pointed to the penalty spot!
What's going on!
The Real Madrid players looked innocent. How could it be a penalty?
Bai Ran was also a little stunned and went up to ask the referee about the situation.
In VAR, they saw Varane pulling the opponent's forward and pulling him down in the penalty area when defending the opponent's cross in the penalty area.
Even though the forward's performance was a bit exaggerated, Varane's hand was indeed on the other person's shoulder at the time. This ball cannot be washed!
In fact, he didn't use any force on his arm, but just pressed his shoulder to help him jump, but the opponent fell into the penalty area, and any referee would award a penalty.
Varane had nothing to say about this ball, so he could only admit defeat.
Real Madrid's players asked the referee for justice, but it was useless. The referee's penalty had already taken effect. This was a penalty!
In desperation, all the players gathered outside the penalty area. Navas tightened his gloves, took a long breath, stood near the goal line, and watched the opponent's striker put the ball on the 12-yard penalty spot.
Sevilla's No. 9 striker Gameiro was about to take the penalty. If this ball went in, the score on the field would be 2-1, which meant that Sevilla was likely to score another goal to equalize the score with this momentum, and their morale would also be beaten back.
This penalty is very important!
Gameiro came to the front of the goal and took a few steps back.
After the referee blew the whistle, he took a deep breath and started to run up - shoot!
He pushed the ball to the left side of the goal with the arch of his foot, and Navas judged the direction correctly!
Bang!
In a flash, Navas lifted the ball with one hand!
So beautiful! This save fully demonstrated Navas's defensive level, worthy of being the goalkeeper Navas!
The fans on the Real Madrid side stood up and cheered again, what a great shot!
This was not only a wonderful save, but also after that, Real Madrid controlled the ball!
Danilo made a long pass from the wing, and the ball came to Ronaldo's feet in the front court!
This is a great counterattack opportunity!
Ronaldo dribbled the ball at high speed, and the speed was so fast that the defender could not catch up at all!
When he was running at lightning speed, he thought that he had to cut in and shoot the ball himself. After all, the ball was a long pass, and his teammates must not have run to the position. Ronaldo's absolute speed was very fast, so it seemed that he could only do it himself!
But at this moment, Ronaldo glanced at it with his peripheral vision, and his heart skipped a beat!
Ah?
Right beside him, Bai Ran rushed over at a very fast speed!
"Cristiano!"
With a call, Ronaldo passed the ball directly. Bai Ran received the ball with his accurate sense of smell and prediction, and stopped the ball perfectly!
The opponent's defender immediately returned to defense when he saw this. The backcourt was almost empty. Bai Ran took the ball to the front of the penalty area and shot!
Shua——
This ball was a dribbling shot. The ball broke through the sky of the Bernabeu and went straight to the dead corner of the goal.
The goalkeeper of Sevilla was very desperate facing this shot. The arc dribbling shot was too high in quality and there was no way to defend it.
And the defender behind had not arrived yet. This was a standard single-handed shot.
But unexpectedly, this time Bai Ran did not choose to dribble past the goalkeeper, but adjusted his position and shot directly.
All this was thanks to Bai Ran's Raul-like sense of smell in front of the goal. He accurately detected that the opponent's goalkeeper's position was not reasonable, so he did not risk dribbling past the goalkeeper, but seized this critical opportunity and directly penetrated the opponent's city.
3-0!
The game was 50 minutes in, and the situation changed again.
It took only one minute for Sevilla to go from heaven to hell.
Originally, they got a penalty kick, but they didn't expect that this would create a classic counterattack by Real Madrid. Bai Ran's insertion speed was too fast!
From Ronaldo's perspective, he didn't even know when Bai Ran arrived at the edge of the penalty area in the front court.
Such a speed is hard to see with the naked eye!
But in the eyes of all Real Madrid fans, it was clearly seen.
All the players of the opponent returned to defense with all their strength, and their positions were further forward than Bai Ran.
But at this moment, Bai Ran saw Ronaldo isolated in the front court, so he rushed forward at full speed, overtaking all the players of the opponent with visible overtaking!
Real Madrid fans were shocked.
"Oh my god! Bai Ran is so fast!"
"Horrible, this is comparable to Bale! If you have time, you must watch the two people compete in speed. It is definitely a strong competition!"
"Remember that Bai Ran didn't have such a fast speed before. When he was in Castilla, speed was even his shortcoming. In the past few months, he has grown to this level?"
"Awesome, too awesome, this counterattack made my blood boil!"
"It's so handsome, another CB connection! This time it was Ronaldo who assisted Bai Ran!"
Bai Ran was also very excited after scoring. He came to the sidelines and lay on the grass of the Bernabeu. He put his arms in his arms and looked at the audience with a calm expression, and the fans on the sidelines were all crazy and shouting!
There were also many fans who pulled their jerseys in front of the camera to show that they were wearing Bai Ran's No. 37 jersey!
Their support for Bai Ran has reached a very high level. Now Real Madrid fans seem to love Bai Ran as much as Ronaldo.
It's only been half a season...
It's hard to imagine what Bai Ran's future will be like. If he stays in Real Madrid, he will definitely become one of Real Madrid's most influential players and a big shot in the locker room!
Sevilla's players shook their heads and looked very confused on the field. In this game at the Bernabeu, they seemed to have lost something of their own.
It may be due to pressure, or it may be because Bai Ran is too strong and destroyed their confidence.
In short, Sevilla's chance of equalizing in this game is very slim.
Both sides returned to their positions on the field, and the game continued.
Real Madrid's offensive waves came one after another. They retained their physical strength on the one hand, and more importantly, they had to maintain this fiery offensive state to face the next game against Barcelona.
In the 69th minute of the game, the situation changed again. Modric and Bai Ran made a series of wonderful cooperation. The two midfielders passed the ball to each other, passed the opponent's midfield defense line, and easily came to the edge of the opponent's penalty area.
Modric passed the ball to Bai Ran. When Bai Ran broke through the left side of the penalty area, Reyes made a small move behind Bai Ran!
He stepped lightly on Bai Ran's heel, and this action made Bai Ran, who suddenly started to accelerate, fall to the ground instantly.
The referee immediately came over and blew the whistle, pointing to the penalty spot!
Real Madrid's penalty!
The opposing players protested again and again, but the referee ignored them. There was no need to watch the replay of this ball. The referee's eyes saw it clearly. This was a stepping foul, and there was no problem.
Reyes stepped on Bai Ran's heel, causing the attack to be interrupted. Bai Ran fell to the ground in the penalty area. Whether this action was intentional or unintentional, it was an undisputed penalty.
The people of Real Madrid celebrated and encouraged each other. With a huge advantage of 3 to 0, another penalty was ushered in. It seems that Real Madrid is stable in this game!
There is no doubt that after these months of integration, Bai Ran's footwork has been recognized by everyone, and Zidane has also set Bai Ran as the first penalty taker.
And since no one had a chance to score a hat trick, Bai Ran naturally had the right to take the penalty kick.
Before the penalty kick, Bai Ran looked at Bell on the side.
"Are you going to take this penalty kick?"
"Me?" Bell was obviously stunned and pointed at himself.
He didn't expect Bai Ran to dedicate this penalty kick to him. First, he didn't have a hat trick, second, it wasn't a penalty kick he created, and third, he wasn't the first penalty taker in the team!
But Bai Ran's expression was very gentle, and he said, "You take the penalty kick. Your shooting condition is pretty good, you can definitely score it."
"Come on."
Bell instantly understood that Bai Ran saw that he didn't score the goal in front of the goal before, and was afraid that he would lose confidence because of this incident, so he gave this ball to him.
Bai Ran, as a teammate, is at least very likable as a player.
But Bell had just been fed a cake by Bai Ran. To be honest, that goal was given to Bell by Bai Ran.
He can't take this ball again.
So Bell put his hands on his waist and shook his head with a smile, saying: "You take the penalty, I don't need it, it's really okay."
"You are the first penalty taker in the team. This season you have the hope of challenging the best player in La Liga. This is very important to you."
When Bai Ran saw Bell say this calmly, he also understood that Bell's pressure was relieved a lot. Since he scored that goal just now, he has been playing better and better, and he felt relieved.
In the end, Bai Ran stood on the penalty spot.
"Huh..."
Bai Ran watched the opponent's goalkeeper constantly jumping on the goal line, trying to interfere with his choice. Bai Ran was as firm as a rock, and there was a firm color in his eyes.
The referee blew the whistle, and the penalty kick began!
After Bai Ran's run-up, he pushed the ball, and the ball flew to the lower right corner of the goal in an arc close to the ground!
The opponent's goalkeeper rushed to the left without judging the opponent's direction at all!
Bai Ran used a flip of his ankle to change his shooting action and easily deceived the goalkeeper. The goal went in!
Real Madrid 4-0 Sevilla, they can never catch up!
Bai Ran scored two goals and one assist, winning applause and cheers from the audience!
Moreover, apart from the two goals and one assist, the only goal that was not directly caused by Bai Ran was Bai Ran's instigation in the midfield that started the attack.
Bai Ran's performance was so brilliant that the fans went crazy for him.
At this moment, Bai Ran came to the sidelines to celebrate, and from the stands, a chorus of chants came from the stands.
"Our high heads yearn for the color of pure white..."
"Who leads us to victory!"
"The wind blows at the Bernabeu that night..."
"Bai Ran will create miracles for us!"
These melodies came loudly from the mouths of the fans, and even Bai Ran was stunned for a moment.
Is this a song that fans spontaneously wrote for him?
These fans are so cute!
Bai Ran smiled and blew a kiss to the sidelines. This scene was so intimate. She had never been treated like this before!
The fans at home loved Bai Ran so much that he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Fans are always the 12th man of the team!
The fans on the sidelines were waving flags and cheering. At the end of the song, they shouted "Bai Ran! Bai Ran!"
Even the opponents couldn't help but sigh, Bai Ran was a genius in the true sense, and they did not lose this game unjustly.
After this goal, Sevilla played listlessly, and Real Madrid also slowed down its offensive pace. After a while, as the referee's whistle sounded, the game was over.
The ending ended 4-0. Real Madrid bloodbathed Sevilla at home, successfully won three points, and was one step closer to Barcelona at the top of the list!
When the Chinese fans saw this ending, they also sent out a barrage of support.
"It's so fierce, my brother Ran. If this continues, it is inevitable that Real Madrid will win the championship!"
"Niu X Bai Ran! Keep doing this, and I will kill Barcelona to death in the next round!"
"I really feel that there is something wrong with the Dezhuan website now. Isn't it possible that even 100 million yuan can win this kind of performance?"
"It's amazing! Scored goals and assisted in consecutive games, it's like Real Madrid's magic weapon came from heaven!"
Underneath these sounds, a comment appeared, instantly setting the rhythm on fire.
"Bai Ran is indeed playing very well. China has the World Cup qualifiers at the end of March and the Asian division starts. Bai Ran is so good and he should come back to help China play the game."
"Yes, if Bai Ran were present, wouldn't Hua be crushed?"
"This is called a dimensionality reduction strike..."
After these remarks came out, more fans came forward to accuse them!
"Return to China to play in the qualifiers? Do you mean to ignore the games in Spain?"
"Who will come back with you to play in some pheasant team! Now is the time for Bai Ran to increase his speed, how could he come back to abuse others! Isn't that self-destructive?"
"If Bai Ran does this, I guess Real Madrid won't be willing to do it, right? Why should he offend Real Madrid just to play in the qualifiers? And with the way China plays, Bai Ran probably won't be able to play!"
"Okay, let's take a rest! Don't do it to others!"
"I suggest that to those who have this idea, just go to China Football to play in the qualifiers yourself, and don't drag others into the pit of fire. Thank you!"
These people were sprayed by most of the fans, and the two sides started to stand up and no one would give in to the other.
Fans in China are divided into two groups. One side supports Bai Ran to return to China to play in the qualifiers, while the other insists that Bai Ran staying in Spain is the best choice. It is best not to come back for the rest of his life, otherwise his own development will be delayed. The football can’t be lifted up.
To be honest, there is nothing wrong with the people on both sides. They just have different positions and ideas. Of course, Bai Ran can achieve better development by staying in Spain. Real Madrid's platform is also very suitable for him. Bai Ran is simply perfect there. It's like a fish in water.
Moreover, during the recent period, Real Madrid is about to usher in the most critical moment of the season, and every game will determine the La Liga championship this season.
Every three-pointer is extremely critical!
At this time, if Real Madrid, as their core player, misses the game, it will also have a serious blow to morale.
But if Bai Ran returns to China to participate in the World Cup qualifiers, Bai Ran will wear the red flag and fight for his national team. The honor will of course be greater. After all, it is a world-class competition, and it will also be full of glory in a player's career. One stroke.
Moreover, if the World Cup is really qualified, I believe the whole country will celebrate with joy!
And this also has a very profound impact on the Chinese football environment.
As for Bai Ran's choice, I don't know.
After the game, the reporter asked Bai Ran to attend the press conference to be interviewed by reporters.
But Bai Ran waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested in these. Sorry, I have my own things to do."
But at this moment, Zidane came out from behind, patted Bai Ran on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, just accept an interview!"
"It doesn't matter once or twice now and then."
Frequently refusing interviews from the media will cause Bai Ran to lose some of his image in front of fans.
Since Zidane has said this, Bai Ran nodded and said helplessly: "Okay then."
Afterwards, Bai Ran and Zidane went to the press conference together.
The master and the apprentice sat side by side, and below them were all sports media from all over the world.
"Bai Ran, I'm glad you came to the press conference today. What do you think of your performance in this game?"
Bai Ran contributed two goals and one assist in this game, which was very dominant.
The media was looking forward to Bai Ran's evaluation of himself.
But what Bai Ran said made the whole audience speechless...
"Uh...I think I'll just play normally, it feels average."
What! ?
Two goals and one assist, a score of 9.3!
This is called average! ?
