Chapter 295: Locker Room Adjustment Ability Dominates!
J Luo took a deep breath, drank the beer in the cup in one go, and looked at Bai Ran with endless envy and a little complaint.
"Bai Ran, don't you know?"
"Before you came to Real Madrid, I was the main midfielder of Real Madrid."
"It was you and Zidane who changed everything."
At this point, James sighed deeply, and his despair about the current situation of Real Madrid was beyond words.
It's not that Real Madrid's performance is a problem. After Zidane and Bai Ran came, Real Madrid is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedentedly prosperous. This is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
However, the future of the team is inseparable from the future of the players, but they are two different things.
Competition within the team also exists all the time in the team, especially for top teams like Real Madrid, the star-studded galactic battleship.
If you are not careful, you will be squeezed out. Even if you are very capable, as long as you are not the best player in the world and Real Madrid has a substitute, you should get out.
Even if it is not the case, you will be pressed on the bench and watch other players develop, but you can only help them and play as a substitute.
"Real Madrid's performance has improved, but my position has been completely replaced by you, and even Kroos is the same."
"I only say these words to you today, do you understand? Don't mention it to others."
Bai Ran nodded, of course, his primary purpose is to appease James Rodriguez's emotions and help him solve problems to avoid any more chaos in the locker room.
"I understand."
"Then how do you plan to change the status quo? Or just let it go like this."
James Rodriguez looked at Bai Ran helplessly, what? Can I still force you out?
Now Bai Ran is an absolutely well-deserved hot star in Real Madrid. Everyone in the outside world is paying endless attention to Bai Ran's development. James Rodriguez is now bleak and not as good as Bai Ran.
Competing with Bai Ran is purely asking for trouble.
The only thing he can do is to compete with others for a starting or even substitute role.
"I don't have any ideas. Time will prove everything. I will make my own decision at that time. I am not so selfless and will not think about the team like you do."
"Of course, I am responsible for my own career."
Bai Ran also agrees with James Rodriguez's point of view. Bai Ran has paid so much for Real Madrid from beginning to end. He trains hard every day. In fact, everyone else seems to be working hard for Real Madrid, but only Bai Ran knows in his heart that it is not a team that can urge him to do all this.
Even Bai Ran is not an absolute Madridist, and there is no such thing as a "childhood dream". Even during his time in Castilla, a Premier League team came to him with an olive branch. If it were not for Zidane's invitation, Bai Ran might really have entered the Premier League.
Compared with the team, Bai Ran also feels that his career is more important. Everything he does is actually for his own growth.
It's just that other people don't know all of Bai Ran's previous experiences, so they can't understand why Bai Ran is working so hard now.
Bai Ran said: "But I think your strength should be no less than all of us."
"You know, Real Madrid will never introduce a useless person."
"We just have different positioning, which doesn't mean that your strength is not good, and you don't have to do other unnecessary things."
Bai Ran has almost made it clear that the little actions that James Rodríguez did in the Real Madrid locker room have long been seen through, even Bai Ran, who is only 17 years old and has not experienced much in the world, can see it.
No matter what the purpose is, in short, some of James Rodríguez's actions have affected the unity and positivity of Real Madrid.
As soon as these words came out, James Rodríguez immediately lowered his head.
"There are some things I have to do."
"I'm sorry, some things may affect you, but this is for my own responsibility. It is indeed my selfishness, but there is nothing I can do."
Bai Ran saw that James Rodríguez did not resist opening his heart to him, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot.
This is the best time to solve the problem. When the other party takes down his psychological defense, it shows that James has completely trusted himself.
In this matter, it can even be said that Bai Ran and James Rodriguez are completely opposite, but at this moment, James Rodriguez seems to even regard Bai Ran as his confidant, and they talk about everything.
Realizing that the time is ripe, Bai Ran also said: "As I said just now, it is really unnecessary."
"Our team is very good, Real Madrid is the best club, we should work together to move forward, if everyone has their own ideas in their hearts, it is difficult to succeed."
"Just like today's training, everyone is bound to make mistakes, and you also have good times. Since we are in the same team, we can put the competition within the team in second place, and the primary goal is to help Real Madrid win more championships."
"Perhaps this second goal is also very important. Of course, as a player, we also know what our career means to us, but can we adjust our mentality a little bit when it affects the first task?"
James seemed to be enlightened when he heard this.
They were able to come from behind last season and win the double crown with a solution that no one could have imagined. The glorious moment of the season was due to the outstanding strength of the players in the team. Zidane's tactical level is strong, but there is another extremely important point. That was the end of the infighting in the Real Madrid dressing room.
Under Benitez's rule, Real Madrid's locker room was once in chaos. Although they all had the same attitude towards Benitez, they worked on their own. These superstars also formed cliques and it was a mess.
Since the arrival of Bai Ran and Zidane, it seems that their goal has been clear. In all games since then, Real Madrid has shown an indomitable fire-like state and fighting spirit.
Of course, James Rodriguez, as a member of Real Madrid, is also very proud and happy about this change.
But as they got to the back, the Colombians found that their position seemed to be excluded from the tactics.
After hearing what Bai Ran said today, he seemed to be slowly awakening, like an enlightenment.
Without unprecedented unity, where would victory come after victory?
However, young Ronaldo was also helpless.
"Why."
"Who doesn't want to play football and win championships in a fun environment."
"Even if what you said is right, the current situation is like this. Do I have to wait on the bench until the end of my career?"
Bai Ran shook his head: "As I said, our midfielders just have different positions."
"Don't worry, we are teammates and have worked together for more than half a year. I need to take more care of him in the future. Leave this matter to me."
"I will communicate with the coach and I should give you a proper solution."
J Luo's expression suddenly became very happy. It would be great if Bai Ran could come forward to help him solve this problem...
You know, Bai Ran and J Luo are also rivals in a sense.
Being able to get help from his opponent shows how broad-minded Bai Ran is!
Now J Luo is also convinced by Bai Ran. On the field, his performance is like a divine aid, with extraordinary abilities and extraordinary abilities. Outside the field, this kid is often able to take on unexpected responsibilities.
For example, in this matter now, if Bai Ran hadn't come forward, it's hard to imagine how far Real Madrid and Ronaldo would have gone. Maybe James left sadly, or even the fate of the entire Real Madrid was affected by this incident.
But Bai Ran stepped forward at this time and took the initiative to find a way to put this matter into a space where there was room for relaxation, which is really admirable.
"Really?"
"Oh my god, Bai Ran, I have thought about the consequences of this matter, which makes me very sad. I have also imagined how this matter will end. Maybe Zidane will open the situation, or maybe I will resign myself to fate, or even I thought about what the captain would do, but I never expected that it would be you who stood up."
"You shocked me!"
Bai Ran chuckled: "This is all my responsibility."
"We are all doing this for the good of the team and ourselves."
"The club and the players are inseparable, and teammates should try their best to solve problems, right?"
J Luo burst into tears upon hearing this, and his excitement was palpable.
"That's great Bai Ran."
"Then I'm sorry to bother you. No matter what, you should try your best to do this. I think it is unrealistic to make big concessions with Zidane's character, but my requirements are not high. You can Go try it.”
"To be honest, I feel much happier just being able to tell you so much today."
Bai Ran pursed her lips and said happily: "Don't worry."
Ronaldo couldn't hide his excitement: "I will also make changes. If the current situation changes, I think I will work harder for the team and myself."
The results of this conversation were very clear. Bai Ran had obviously completely conquered Ronaldo and solved most of the problems.
All that's left is to negotiate with Zidane.
The direction of this matter actually depends more on today's dinner conversation. As long as Ronaldo can be stabilized, everything will be easy for Zidane.
After the two of them broke up, J Luo personally drove Bai Ran home.
Bai Ran was still thinking that it seemed like he really should buy himself a car...
Turning around, Bai Ran found Zidane and chatted about last night's situation.
"real?"
In the office, Zidane sat on a chair and looked at Bai Ran in disbelief, his eyebrows filled with confusion and shock.
He never expected that Bai Ran actually took this matter as his own business and did it without any delay!
Zidane himself had chatted with Ronaldo several times before, but each time it ended hastily, without any substantial help to the progress of the matter.
But Bai Ran's meal last night had already opened J Luo's heart.
First, they are teammates. Although there is competition between teammates, they are definitely closer than the relationship between players and coaches.
Another point is that maybe Bai Ran and Ronaldo are both young players. Maybe they have been in the same situation and experience, and they can look at things from a relatively unified perspective. Bai Ran can also capture the resonance of being a professional player.
It's just that Zidane didn't expect that Bai Ran could complete it and complete it so smoothly.
Bai Ran actually solved the difficulty that he had been unable to overcome with just one meal.
Amazing!
"how did you do it?"
Zidane couldn't help but ask, while Bai Ran smiled lightly and said mysteriously: "Then you don't have to worry about it."
"In short, I think you have stabilized his side, and the rest depends on what you do, Zidane."
Bai Ran also told Zidane his conditions, and Zidane also reflected on himself.
Indeed, it is very necessary to handle the relationship in the locker room well, between the players and even between the players and the coach, and it is also something that a head coach must do.
If you put a future star who signed for Real Madrid for 80 million and put him on the bench for the first half of the year and not let him play, let alone Ronaldo, no one else would be happy.
Since Zidane saw Ronaldo's passive and casual attitude, he has determined in his heart that this is the nature of this player, and has not even considered why Ronaldo became like this.
This is something he lacks thinking about as a head coach.
Bai Ran's suggestion was to let Zidane refer to his own tactics and find a place for Ronaldo, even as a substitute.
Now Bai Ran is in very good condition, and Kroos is also on standby at any time. The two of them are watching on the court, and Ronaldo will not be able to make a difference until the day he retires.
The way to solve this problem now is to try to give the Colombians some playing opportunities. Ronaldo himself has also expressed his opinion and has decided to push things in a better direction. The rest depends on how much Zidane can do. .
Even if he is a substitute, he can accept it, but the ten thousand year bench is indeed a bit chilling.
This requirement is not too high, really not too high.
Zidane nodded: "You handled this matter very well."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"After the matter is over, I will distribute a bonus to you. I will go to Real Madrid's senior management to apply for you. Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I can pay for it out of my own pocket."
Bai Ran chuckled: "That's not necessary, you should focus more on how to lead the team well."
"This incident made me understand that it is not easy for the head coach. Coach, you have worked hard too."
Zidane and Bai Ran smiled at each other, with bright looks on their faces.
Afterwards, Bai Ran participated in the training camp with his teammates as usual.
Zidane also wore sportswear and rushed to the training ground to start a new day of training with the players.
"Good shot! James!"
"Good condition!"
boom!
During the actual training, Ronaldo and Bai Ran's wall-to-wall cooperation successively passed several defenders such as Marcelo and Danilo, and then the Colombian finished the game and penetrated the gate guarded by Casilla, which was very cool.
And Zidane also gave applause without hesitation.
He was ecstatic inside, and on the training ground it could already be seen that James Rodriguez was more attentive than before.
Previously, this young player's training attitude has been tepid, and he can even be said to be one of the least active players in the entire Real Madrid team.
And on several occasions, Ronaldo pretended to be injured to avoid training. Sometimes he just showed off and stopped pretending, not coming to training at all.
This made Zidane very intolerable, and he fell out with Ronaldo several times.
After Bai Ran's adjustment, Ronaldo seems to have gradually regained his confidence and condition, and his performance on the training ground is not a little bit better than before.
Now, Zidane can rest assured to prepare for the next league game.
A week later, on August 28, the Bernabeu ushered in a glorious day.
The second round of the Spanish Primera Division, Real Madrid's first home game of the season, is about to begin against Celta Vigo.
On the day of the match, Zidane led his team out in high spirits, aiming to score three points in the game.
The soldiers of Celta Vigo are also full of confidence and want to compete with Real Madrid.
Celta Vigo has also made a lot of personnel changes this season. They just want to try out what kind of color these new players will burst out when facing the established giants of La Liga.
The outside of the Bernabeu Stadium was crowded with people, and fans on both sides poured into the stadium, ready to enjoy this unique event.
The fans are enthusiastic and cheer for their respective teams. The night sky above the Bernabeu is light and bright, with a few stars and stars, while the stadium is brightly lit and cheers come and go, making it very lively.
This is enough to show how popular this game is.
Before the game, in the locker room, all the players were making final preparations. Ronaldo did not enter the starting lineup, but he has entered the substitute list. Although this is also Zidane's basic operation, Ronaldo's state of mind is similar to that of Zidane. It was much different before.
Amidst the roaring applause, the commentator also started today's work.
"Dear viewers, thank you for watching today's second round of the Spanish La Liga. Real Madrid plays at home against Celta Vigo."
"I believe the fans have been waiting for it for a long time. Even I have to take a breath!"
"Look at their mental outlook, how high-spirited they are! Both teams are the same. It seems that Celta Vigo's goal today is to win!"
"First let me introduce you to the starting lineup so that fans can have a better understanding of this game."
"Real Madrid's goalkeeper will be Casilla guarding the goal line, Carvajal is on the back line, Marcelo's main players will all appear, and Varane will partner Ramos as the central defender."
"The midfield is still the hot trio, Bai Ran, Modric and Casemiro."
"On the front line, Benzema and Ronaldo, who are recovering from injuries, disappeared. Instead, Morata, the latest signing of Real Madrid this season, is in the center, Asensio on the left, and Bale from Wales on the right. "
"Celta Vigo is also ready to go, and the classic 4231 formation is used."
"The single arrow on the front line is the super striker Guidetti from Sweden!"
