Chapter 313: Freeman Tactics Enter La Liga!

"Do you still remember the tactics we used to cooperate before?"

When Bai Ran heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

Naturally, he and Zidane knew it well. They had used this system twice before, and the results were very good.

And it was always at critical moments that Zidane spent all his money to save the situation.

That's what it is - free agent tactics.

Applying Beckenbauer's classical libero tactics to modern football, relying on Bai Ran's outstanding performance and comprehensive personal abilities, the entire team is brought into the game from Bai Ran's perspective.

Whether it's offense or defense, Bai Ran is the core of the team, serving as the brains of the team.

The entire Real Madrid, the entire Galaxy battleship, is headed by Bai Ran.

Bai Ran seemed to be the captain and driver of this galactic battleship, ensuring the stable operation of the entire team.

This lineup is very capable. How the whole team performs depends on the "free man"'s understanding of the game and his own performance.

If it performs well, this lineup can even have the effect of "they always play one more person on the field."

It seems that in response to the Spaniard's game, Zidane wanted to test the feasibility of this tactic, while making up for the shortcomings and discover more ways to defeat the enemy.

After all, the paper capabilities are here. Real Madrid is sure to win this game, and they don't have to worry about an upset loss, so they came up with this tactic to test it out.

It just requires Bai Ran to work a little harder.

"Is that okay?"

Bai Ran accepted it happily: "It's absolutely no problem."

"It's just right. I haven't tried this position for a long time."

“I’m also looking forward to being the centerpiece of the team.”

At this time, three or five reporters carrying cameras rushed to the side.

"Hello! Mr. Bai Ran, I am a reporter from Marca. I have a few questions that I would like you to answer. Can you take a look now?"

Bai Ran originally planned to refuse, but who would have thought that the other party would say: "And there is one more thing. We are seeking a chance for a young fan to meet you. Are you free now?"

This is what we are talking about, and the fans have always been one of the motivations for Bai Ran to work hard forward. It is difficult to refuse such kindness, and it is difficult for Bai Ran to refuse.

So Bai Ran looked at Zidane. After all, he was his head coach. As a player, no matter how good Bai Ran was, he had to obey the orders of the organization and not break the team's rules.

Zidane admired Bai Ran's confident look very much. He smiled and patted Bai Ran on the shoulder: "Go ahead. I'll go back to the locker room to talk to them about tactics."

"You should be able to understand the general direction. I'll see you on the field then. Remember to come back soon."

Bai Ran nodded and turned to look at the visiting reporter.

"Okay, but we can't wait too long, I'm going to play the game soon."

The reporter is a white male with blond hair. He seemed very excited after hearing Bai Ran's answer. This is Bai Ran, the popular superstar now!

"Okay! It will definitely not delay your game."

"Come, let's go over there."

Bai Ran followed the reporter to the side of the corridor. After the camera was focused on Bai Ran, the reporter began to ask: "Bai Ran, I am very happy to invite you today. The game against the Spanish will be held soon. Are you there?" Have you prepared for this game?”

Bai Ran put his hands on his hips and nodded: "The whole team has been fully prepared. Our strength is good, our condition is online, and our mental outlook is very good. I think we will win this game."

This shows that Bai Ran is very confident in this game.

The reporter then asked: "Some fans responded that your state did not decline as quickly as everyone expected at the beginning of this season. How do you view this matter?"

Bai Ran shrugged. He had also seen many people's opinions on the Internet saying that Bai Ran's performance at the end of last season was very good. He even surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo in half a season of the Champions League and became the player with the most goals in the Champions League in a single season. .

You know, this is Bai Ran's first Champions League. He broke the record in his first participation. This is not something ordinary people can do.

But this still cannot conquer everyone. Some people will still say that "it's just an ambiguous period", "it will definitely decline next season", "there have been too many talented midfielders in the past two years, and they are all geniuses. How come there is no one who can really come close to Melo?" What about?”

Some even said, "What kind of waves can an Asian make?"

However, this is not the case. Bai Ran participated in various competitions at the beginning of the new season and won three championships in succession, helping Real Madrid win consecutively. Until the fourth round of La Liga, Real Madrid still maintained the highest state. , including Bai Ran.

In the previous games, Bai Ran has contributed four goals and six assists. If such an impressive record can be maintained, he will definitely become the most outstanding young player this season.

This is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for Bai Ran.

Bai Ran responded: "Yes, I have also seen a lot of rumors, but I want to say that I will see all the comments about me, but it will not affect my scoring goals on the field."

His answer was still so domineering. From Bai Ran's unwillingness to appear in front of the media to now that Bai Ran can handle the media alone, he has really grown a lot.

A few minutes later, the reporter had completed his task, and the time was almost up, so the reporter asked the person next to him to turn off the camera and shook hands with Bai Ran.

"Thank you very much for participating."

"There is one more thing I want to tell you."

"Have you heard of our company before?"

Bai Ran looked up and nodded, of course he knew.

Even if he doesn't play football in Spain, Bai Ran would have heard of the media Marca in his previous life.

"Marca" is a very best-selling sports newspaper in Spain. The newspaper mainly reports football events, supplemented by other sports news. It has a wide range of information sources and often publishes explosive news at the first time, attracting great attention from fans around the world.

Far away in China, Bai Ran would often learn about European football transfer rumors and various stories from Marca.

The reporter on the other side continued: "Well, it's like this. A few days ago, a parent of a child contacted us."

"Their child is called Carmen. She is just fourteen years old this year. She was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia last year."

"And this child has been watching football with his father since he was a child, and his favorite team is Real Madrid."

"The first season you joined Real Madrid, do you still remember? That kid would watch almost every game in full."

"Now the child's condition has worsened, and we have received a request for help from the child's parents. The child's biggest wish is to meet you."

Bai Ran frowned and nodded: "Sickle cell anemia?"

"What kind of disease is this? Is it difficult to cure?"

The reporter nodded: "It's not that it's difficult to treat."

"The first is that their children are too young and the internal organs of the body are not fully developed, so anemia will do more harm to them."

"And the condition deteriorates very quickly, and splenectomy may need to be considered."

"The cost of this operation is very huge, and that family cannot afford it, because their parents are ordinary workers and have little savings."

That’s how it turns out…

Bai Ran didn't even know that there were all kinds of people around the world who secretly supported and liked him.

Thinking of this, Bai Ran even felt a little guilty. He had never paid any attention to these things before.

"Well, you contact my agent and we will talk and meet in the next two days."

Bai Ran thought that for this kind of thing, he could just contact Alice first, and then he could communicate with Alice later.

"Oh, right."

Bai Ran suddenly remembered something. This kind of thing about players visiting sick children actually happens from time to time in football. However, this kind of thing is also a hype topic for the media in a sense. The article was published There will be a lot to see when you go out.

Therefore, meetings between football stars and sick children often become a commercial event.

Bai Ran didn't want that to happen, so he said, "I don't want anyone to cooperate with you in reporting this matter."

"But after all, you told me that I allow people from the Marca newspaper office to come and be with me, but no more than two people."

"If any other media shows up, I swear I will never say a word to you again in this life."

The man nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"

At this time, it was time for the players to enter the stadium. Teammates had already arrived in the player tunnel one after another waiting to enter. The two sides lined up their teams and were waiting for a fight.

Bai Ran heard the noisy noise outside and said, "It's time, I'm leaving, bye."

After saying that, Bai Ran went to the players' tunnel without looking back.

Standing in the team, Bai Ran took a deep breath, closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.

In the fourth round of the league, Zidane finally put himself in the free man position again.

After testing and experience in the game, I don’t know if this system will become Zidane’s trump card in the future.

Players enter!

The spotlight was on the exit, players from both sides lined up and walked into the field, and the solemn ceremony was about to begin.

After the pre-match ceremony, Espanyol captain Diego Lopez chose to kick off first, while Real Madrid chose to attack from right to left.

The players on both sides went through some warm-up exercises, and Bai Ran also confirmed the tactics Zidane mentioned with his teammates.

After standing in position, the referee blew his whistle and the game officially started!

In the starting lineup, Bai Ran, as a free man, serves as the absolute core of the Galaxy Battleship, and the four defenders on the back line are Ramos, Varane, Carvajal and Marcelo!

In the midfield position, Bai Ran can become a tiger by himself.

Looking further ahead, Modric and Ronaldo were actually supporting Bairan directly in front, while Asensio and Vazquez were on the flanks. The lone forward was still French striker Benzema.

The Portuguese king, who suffers from frequent injuries, was still not able to be selected into the squad for this game. Bale was also absent due to injury. Navas has not fully recovered from his injury and will naturally not be able to play in this game.

Fortunately, Zidane has trained young players like Vazquez and Asensio in just a few months. They are energetic, practical and capable. Even if their abilities are not too strong, their attitudes are very positive. Anyway, It's much better than a group of old men playing football.

It can be seen that Zidane is still not very confident about Morata. In this kind of game, as long as Benzema's physical condition is fine, Morata must be pressed on the bench to watch the game.

It is not difficult to see that Zidane's understanding of the free man tactics in this game has deepened to a deeper level. This formation is actually 4141, and this formation is combined with the tactical concept of the classic free man to create this style of play.

Bai Ran is in the central core of the team, and the other players have their own duties. Their instructions are simpler. When they see where Bai Ran passes the ball, they can understand Bai Ran's intentions.

In the previous game, Zidane used this set of tactics and required the whole team and Bai Ran to have tacit cooperation and communication all the time to play well, but today he took out this set of tactics, which can turn Bai Ran's actions into instructions.

The test of tacit understanding is simpler, and the players may complete it better.

The specific effect still depends on the form on the field.

At the beginning of the game, the opponent kicked off first, and the ball was passed by the forward to the feet of midfielder Marc Roca.

Marc Roca is a very technical player. At the age of 19, Roca has already played as an absolute main force in the Spanish first team.

For a professional player, this growth path is very bright.

After Marc Roca got the ball, he decisively passed it to Piatti on the wing. Piatti handled the ball decisively. After observing Vasquez's movements in advance, he slipped away from Vasquez and came to the right corridor of Real Madrid with the ball.

Bai Ran turned around and ran back, trying to go deep into the defense line, because Modric in the midfield was waiting for support on the other side, and James Rodriguez on his side had no defensive ability, so it would be useless to let him come over, so Bai Ran hurriedly shouted: "Carvajal! Retreat!"

Carvajal was very obedient. After hearing Bai Ran's shout, he retreated quickly. Real Madrid's formation quickly shrank, forming a chain defense, ready to stand by at the side of the penalty area. When Bai Ran saw this scene, he flew forward to press Piatti with confidence.

Although Bai Ran's current defensive ability is not strong, with the help of his teammates, everything can develop according to Bai Ran's imagination.

Bai Ran's scramble was very fast. Even though Piatti was very fast, he still had a ball under his feet to dribble. Compared with the players without the ball, his speed was still slightly inferior, not to mention that Bai Ran's current speed was 88 points, which was no less than Piatti.

In fact, Bai Ran's action was not intended to intercept the ball, but to put Piatti, who was dribbling the ball, into a desperate situation.

As expected, Piatti was not intercepted by Bai Ran at the first time, but Bai Ran's defensive focus remained on the inside line, which made it difficult for Piatti to cut inside and dribble, and he could only move on the wing.

Bai Ran kept a close eye on Piatti's every move, and moved closer to the inside of the court. As long as Piatti cut the ball inside, Bai Ran could instantly stretch his foot to intercept the ball.

When all his teammates joined in, Piatti also knew that this was a blitzkrieg, and he couldn't wait for all the Real Madrid players to return to defense. Sometimes the opportunity to attack was just a moment, and they had to be caught off guard.

If Real Madrid had waited until they were ready to attack, it would have been very difficult.

In a hurry, Piatti had no choice but to try to force the ball to Bai Ran's weak point, that is, the outside line of the court, close to the wing.

This was a smart move. He didn't go head-to-head with Bai Ran, but tried to avoid Bai Ran and dribble to the empty space.

But Bai Ran's defensive positioning is also very clever. He wanders near the inner line. Breaking through from this side is definitely impossible. But if he breaks through from the outside, it is impossible to pass with a short and rapid ball control.

He must dribble the ball with big strides and complete the breakthrough at the moment when Bai Ran does not touch the ball and is still turning around to leave Bai Ran behind.

Piatti certainly has such a blueprint in his mind, so he put it into action!

Piatti flicked the ball under his feet and passed by Bai Ran. Bai Ran was indeed half a beat slower at the moment of turning around, and was about to be passed by Piatti.

But at this moment, Carvajal, who was near the edge of the penalty area, had been waiting for a long time. When Piatti dribbled the ball to the front, Carvajal just led the ball over. Piatti rushed to grab it frantically, but Carvajal was not stupid either. He passed the ball directly to central defender Ramos.

In this way, the ball was perfectly taken by Real Madrid and the ball possession was changed.

Oh my god... Real Madrid's defense this time is perfect, as if several people share one brain!

Especially Bai Ran's defensive position selection this time, it is really crucial!

And he seemed to have directed Carvajal to come to that position in advance to wait for the ball, and sure enough, the ball fell at his feet!

Amazing!

Bai Ran's ability to read the game has not diminished at all, and it was fully demonstrated in the process of this defense!

Zidane also applauded repeatedly. This was a beautiful steal and perfect teamwork!

As soon as the game started, the free man's tactics were fully utilized. With Bai Ran as the core, Real Madrid completed an excellent defense.

After the ball possession was changed, Bai Ran returned to his position again, and Ramos passed the ball to Marcelo on the other side.

Marcelo also understood the core concept of this tactic. He dribbled twice, intending to launch an attack from the wing, but in the next second, Marcelo passed the ball to Bai Ran's feet.

At this moment, Bai Ran's eyes, like a rabbit, instantly locked onto his teammates in the frontcourt.

Benzema was running forward, but Bai Ran's brain processed and immediately came up with an analysis.

Although Benzema's timing to move forward was very good, the surrounding defensive players rushed forward, which was not the best choice for passing.

And Vasquez, who was faintly making moves on the wing, became the best solution for passing!
