Chapter 246 International Champions Cup! Real Madrid VS Paris

"This is good for everyone, what do you think?"

Bai Ran naturally had no objection. It was very good to be able to negotiate a contract extension to this level.

It can be said that no player of this age has been able to get such a high contract.

Bai Ran is unprecedented!

The agent thought for a moment, this is well prepared!

But there is no way. Now Bai Ran's importance to Real Madrid is self-evident. Florentino personally told him that if he couldn't negotiate with Bai Ran, he would not have to work.

The conditions offered by the other party hit the pain point directly.

It just hit the highest point of Real Madrid's finances. Now Real Madrid can afford this price, which is the limit.

If it is lower, they will suffer a loss, and if it is higher, Real Madrid can't afford it.

Does Mendes understand the financial situation of Real Madrid so thoroughly?

But at this point, there is no way.

The agent nodded: "Okay."

"That's it, I'll go back and print the contract, and then invite you to sign it."

"Happy cooperation."

Obviously, the agent's face was a little wrong, while Mendes and Bai Ran's faces were full of smiles.

"Happy cooperation."

Unexpectedly, such a contract extension could be turned into this situation by Mendes.

Bai Ran turned passive into active, and after dealing with the other party, he had no choice but to give up a huge price.

Not only did the annual salary increase by 7 million, nearly doubling, but even the image rights were given away by 50%!

This is really a cut of meat from Real Madrid!

But there is no way, Bai Ran is also a piece of meat for Real Madrid, and a piece of meat on the heart.

If Bai Ran leaves for the Premier League, then not only will Real Madrid lose a pillar, but it will also give other teams a very strong combat power.

At that time in the Champions League, if Real Madrid meets Bai Ran's team, it is guaranteed that there will be no way to win.

Bai Ran has a very thorough understanding of Real Madrid's lineup analysis. Since he can thrive in Real Madrid's lineup, he must know how to crack Real Madrid's tactics.

This contract renewal is not only for Real Madrid to consolidate its strengths, but also to prevent top talent like Bai Ran from leaking out, posing a threat and hidden danger to Real Madrid.

After leaving, Bai Ran had to admire Mendes' negotiation experience.

"You can do this? You are really amazing!"

Mendes smiled lightly: "It's a small matter."

"On the court, you are the most dazzling, but in the negotiation field, there are probably not many people who can compare with me."

"Okay, it's time for you to report. When you sign the contract, you should check the terms carefully. If there are no problems, I will help you here."

With a 5% commission rate, Mendes' company can also make a lot of money, and a portion of the proportion of the image rights must also be allocated to them.

Bai Ran also accepted it with pleasure. After all, he didn't have this part of the income before, and it was Mendes who helped him to fight for this benefit.

Afterwards, Bai Ran went to Zidane to report. The next day after returning to the team, all Real Madrid players had arrived and started training normally.

During the training, Morata, Mariano Diaz, and Bai Ran's former teammate Vasquez all came to the training ground and met with everyone.

The whole team trained together, which was just a warm-up. Today was the first day of training after returning to the team, and the load could not be too heavy.

After chatting with these people, Morata also found Bai Ran in person and asked him some questions.

As a player produced by Real Madrid, Bai Ran's rapid progress in half a season has obviously become a role model for all young players, especially the young man from the youth team of the Galaxy Battleship, who has set Bai Ran as a benchmark.

Mariano Diaz is supposed to be one year less experienced than Bai Ran. He was just promoted to the first team to fill the vacancy left by Benzema's injury, but at the age of 23, he is already six years older than Bai Ran.

For Mariano, Bai Ran is simply an idol-level figure.

Even the first thing Mariano did was to ask Bai Ran for an autographed photo.

A few days later, they integrated well. Benzema did not participate in the training with the team these days, but was recovering in the medical area of ​​the Real Madrid base.

Several new players gradually became familiar with their teammates. With Bai Ran as the link in the middle, Vazquez also maintained a very good relationship with his teammates.

In the blink of an eye, it was the match day.

In the International Champions Cup, Real Madrid will face Paris Saint-Germain, and the coordinate stadium is the Ohio Stadium in the United States.

There were a large number of reporters that day. After all, it was the first game of the season. They wanted to see how the personnel reserves of Real Madrid and Paris were after resting.

And with the arrival of the new players, they were also looking forward to how these protagonists of the heavy news in the transfer window would perform.

More importantly, can Bai Ran, the MVP of Real Madrid, the Champions League champion last year, perform again today?

It is said that on the German transfer website, Bai Ran's value once soared to 80 million. The fact that such a young player can have such a value shocked the entire football world.

Soon, the shuttle buses of both teams arrived at the outskirts of Ohio Stadium.

Hundreds of spectators and reporters rushed forward, all wanting to see the players' mental state with their own eyes.

The first to get off was Ramos, followed by Bai Ran and Modric.

Following closely behind him was Morata, the latest arrival of Real Madrid.

I heard that this new player who returned to his hometown would start in this game. I wonder what kind of uproar it would cause.

Soon, all the players arrived one after another and walked into the locker room for adjustment.

They changed their jerseys. Bai Ran put on his No. 37 jersey again after a vacation.

Wrist bandages, cotton cloth for foot wraps, shin guards, socks - everything was arranged in place. Bai Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, everything was ready. He had not slacked off for such a long time. He spent every day in training. Today was the time to show the results.

"Bai Ran."

Before leaving, Bai Ran suddenly heard Zidane calling him.

"What?"

Zidane found Bai Ran and said a little embarrassedly: "Can you be a substitute in this game?"

Bai Ran suddenly looked up at Zidane: "Substitute?"

"Yes, but I want to know why."

In Real Madrid, Bai Ran can now be said to be one of the strongest combat forces. He doesn't understand why Zidane made such a decision.

Zidane said, "I just made some arrangements. You see, many new players in the team have not played in the game yet. This International Champions Cup is called a cup competition, but it is actually a pre-season warm-up match."

"If we don't let them play in these games, we may have to wait for the league to open."

"I'm not sure about their condition."

"So I want to put them in the lineup for this warm-up match. In this case, you may have to make some contributions and wait on the bench."

"Is it okay?"

Bai Ran nodded: "Of course."

He didn't complain at all. After all, the coach's arrangement was reasonable. Although the new players in the team had been training with Real Madrid for about a week, to be honest, their game experience was not particularly rich, and they had never played with these teammates.

Letting them accumulate some experience and increase the degree of running-in is also a good thing for the team.

So when Bai Ran agreed, Zidane patted him on the shoulder to express his gratitude, and then explained the tactical arrangements to other players.

The commentary for this game is also in place, and this game at the beginning of the season is about to kick off.

"Dear audience, welcome to Ohio Stadium! I am the host of this game."

"The new season has begun! Dear fans, are you looking forward to the performance and status of the teams in the new season like me?"

"Let's watch this International Champions Cup match, Real Madrid! Against Paris Saint-Germain."

"Before this game, we knew that Real Madrid had introduced Morata, Mariano and Vazquez."

"And Paris has also made a lot of adjustments. In the new season, they introduced German newcomer Draxler, as well as Ben Arfa and Meunier. These signings have greatly supplemented the depth of Paris's lineup. Let's see what kind of sparks will be triggered by the confrontation between the two sides in this game."

"Next, I will introduce you to the starting lineup."

"Real Madrid played a 532 formation, which is also the latest lineup arranged by Zidane."

"I don't know if this lineup can shine this season, or is it just a trial version of a killer in Zidane's hands?"

"In terms of goalkeeper, Navas did not play , standing on the goal line is Casilla, and the newly promoted Vazquez and Danilo from Castilla form the double backs, standing on both sides. "

"In the middle, Marcelo and Nacho are partners on both sides, and near the goal, French central defender Varane is guarding the city. "

"In the midfield, Real Madrid has Kovacic, Casemiro and Isco, and the forward line is Morata and Jesse who have returned to Real Madrid. "

"On the Paris Saint-Germain side, it is still a 433 formation, with Trapp as the goalkeeper and Kudiniao as the defender. "Erzava, Kimpembe, Aurier and Brazilian international Thiago Silva."

"In the midfield, there are Pastore, Rabiot and Lorenzo. "

"On the forward line, Incone and Lucas Moura partner on the left and right wings, and in the middle is Uruguay's striker Cavani. "

"You can see that both sides are warming up on the field at this time, and the fans are very enthusiastic!"

The host said it well. The football atmosphere in the United States is also quite good, especially the collision of these two focus teams, which has attracted the attention of many fans.

In the stands, whether it is the Paris fans wearing dark blue or the Real Madrid fans wearing pure white, they all hold high the flags in their hands to support their teams.

Amid the thunderous applause of the fans, the players of both sides came out.

Under the spotlight, two rows of players stepped into the green field with firm steps, ready to meet this battle.

In theory, this warm-up match is not so valuable, but looking at the lineup of Paris, they seem to take it very seriously.

With the whistle of the referee, the game began.

Real Madrid took the lead.

Morata in the middle passed the ball to Isco on the left. Isco watched with the ball and was not in a hurry to pass the ball.

Facing the defense of Pastore, Isco pulled the ball and made a move to get rid of it. With a shake of the center of gravity, he left Pastore behind.

Then Isco continued to dribble forward, and his teammates followed him forward. Morata and his teammates had trained for a week and had some results. He ran back and passed defender Kurzawa, and then rushed forward.

Isco found the right time to pass the ball, a beautiful pass!

Morata dribbled forward and broke into the opponent's penalty area. With double teams on both sides, he shot with his left foot!

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the ball hit the side net!

This was the first shooting opportunity after the start of the game, from Morata.

This shot also announced that the gunpowder smell of the game was gradually getting stronger.

But looking at Real Madrid's lineup, they were obviously just playing around.

In the 10th minute of the game, Paris' Lucas dribbled into the penalty area from the left. Marcelo's interception caused Lucas to fall to the ground. The referee blew the whistle and gave a free kick, and warned Marcelo.

This time the referee showed mercy and did not pull out a card.

Paris had a free kick opportunity, Rabiot took the penalty, and the arc shot was slightly off the post, which was quite threatening!

In the 13th minute, Paris got another free kick opportunity, but Pastore's cross was of poor quality and did not pose a threat.

In the 19th minute, Real Madrid kicked the ball from the backcourt, which came from Kovacic. Morata got a single chance after receiving the ball and shot with his right foot!

Unfortunately, it was offside first, and the ball flew over the crossbar.

Zidane was a little nervous watching on the sidelines. Morata's state seemed to be unstable, and his shot... was a bit outrageous.

Think about Morata when he was in Real Madrid's youth training, he was also a prodigy. His sense of smell and shooting skills in front of the goal were also second to none among the young people, very strong.

But after being promoted, his performance was not satisfactory. Unexpectedly, after returning from Juventus, he did not make much progress.

Real Madrid decided to buy him back for 30 million because he was in good form during his time at Juventus, but Morata's performance was not convincing.

His left and right feet are very balanced, and both feet can shoot and pass. Real Madrid actually saw more of this point.

But since the start of the game, Morata has shot with both feet, and the quality of these two shots is not very high.

The game continues.

In the 24th minute, Real Madrid got another free kick opportunity. Morata shot a curved ball 25 meters away from the goal and hit the post, missing the goal.

In the 27th minute, Paris penetrated the middle, Rabiot broke into the middle of the penalty area, and his left-foot shot was narrowly resolved by Casillas's foot.

Although Real Madrid has more shots than the opponent, the most threatening attack so far in this game was launched by Paris.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Kovacic got rid of the defense outside and shot a very threatening curved ball. The opponent's Trapp was in a brave state and flew to save the ball.

This shot was a pity, and the fans on the sidelines couldn't help but feel a little sorry. Although neither side scored a goal in the past few minutes, the scene was still exciting.

Both sides went back and forth, neither gave in, and both had chances to shoot, but no points were scored.

Zidane was not careless on the sidelines. Even in this friendly match, he was doing his best to guide Real Madrid's players to attack and defend.

"Pull to the side! Jose! Pull to the side!"

"Kovacic, don't be afraid! Meet the ball! Don't stand still!"

"Move, move!"

Zidane clapped his hands, urging the players on the field not to be lax.

The first game of the season is easy to be like this. The players played lazily. This is the importance of the warm-up match. They have to get back to their best form before the start of the league.

"Marcelo! Go forward! Support!"

"Pass the ball, look up at Morata in front!"

Zidane roared loudly, and Real Madrid's offense was indeed a little constipated.

In the 37th minute of the game, Real Madrid launched another offensive.

Isco made a long pass to Jesse in the frontcourt. Facing the defense of defender Thiago Silva, Jesse did not have the confidence to pass the ball cleanly, so he decisively passed the ball to Morata beside him.

Morata took the ball and shot at an angle, but was blocked by Kurzawa in front of him, so he flicked the ball to the right and shot!

His body was extremely stretched, his thigh suddenly raised, and he shot with great force!

A ridiculous scene appeared, Morata's shot was actually kicked out...

This shot did not hit the goal frame, nor did it go out of the bottom line, but kicked out of the sideline...

This shot made the Paris players smile, what kind of kick is this!

It's too outrageous that the shot can go out of the sideline!

"Good shot, good shot!" Zidane gave the players more encouragement on the sidelines, clapping his hands and saying: "Try more, no problem!"

"We allow mistakes, but we don't allow not trying! Run and look for opportunities!"

"Morata! Don't panic, keep calm, don't rush."

"Find the feeling when shooting!"

Morata looked at Zidane on the sidelines, nodded, and returned to his position.

The reason why Zidane sent out this formation today was not a killer or a big killer, but... simply to let Hesse and Morata get more ball possession and attack.

After all, in the 532 formation, their offense will rely more on the cooperation between the two forwards, which can allow them to exercise their abilities and mentality more.

At present, the performance of the two players, Jesse and Morata, is not good.

The game continued, and the time came to the 45th minute. Paris' last attack before halftime was launched by Lorenzo.

Midfielder Lorenzo made a long pass and found Incone on the wing. Incone shook the angle with his excellent speed and made a cross at a 45-degree angle!

Cavani was unguarded in the middle, and the ball flew from the air to his feet, and he volleyed!
