Chapter 46 Turmoil at Real Madrid

In anticipation of the next round of games, Bai Ran trained day after day.

At the same time, as time came to September, the weather became a little cooler, which made the players less uncomfortable during training, which was undoubtedly good news.

During this period, everyone also paid attention to the turbulent situation of Real Madrid's first team.

Especially Real Madrid fans, and all the staff of the club, are always checking the changes there.

Because Ancelotti was dismissed from the class last season, Benítez will be the head coach of Real Madrid in the new season.

It was thought that the coach from Naples in Serie A would lead Real Madrid to the right track, but unexpectedly, in the opening game of the La Liga, facing Sporting Gijon in the first game, Benítez gave the fans a "surprise".

In the first game, at the Molinon Stadium, facing Sporting Gijon, a newly promoted team that had just been promoted from the Spanish Second Division, it turned out to be a 0-0 draw!

For Real Madrid, this is a great shame!

This is something that the president of Real Madrid cannot accept, and even more so the fans of Real Madrid cannot accept!

Since the first game, Benítez has been criticized and questioned.

The major media have also made things difficult for him.

There is even a famous joke in the football world...

"Benitez will come to the Bernabeu with the glory of Serie A No. 5, and will start a new dynasty for Barcelona."

The fifth place in Serie A is nicknamed "glory" by the fans.

And his arrival was also ridiculed as "opening a new dynasty for Barcelona."

For his annual salary of four million, some extreme fans have accused him of how to lead Real Madrid with such ability?

However, fortunately, Real Madrid did not disappoint in the second round of the league, and won Real Betis at home with a 5-0 victory.

This made Benítez save some face, but the public opinion about him is still full of negative voices.

"Bai Ran! Look! James scored! My favorite star!"

On the bus of Real Madrid B team Castilla.

The players were eager to try, waiting for the arrival of the away game.

Mensa Jeiro is their opponent in the third round. Its home stadium is the Carrillo Stadium, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is also the destination of the Castilla bus.

Vic excitedly held his mobile phone in front of Bai Ran.

Bai Ran looked down and found that it was the game in which Real Madrid defeated Real Betis 5-0 two days ago.

James Rodriguez and the Great Saint Bale both scored two goals and one assist, and made great contributions.

Benzema also scored a goal.

Although Bai Ran did not watch the game, it is said that goalkeeper Nadal saved a penalty.

Vic is an avid James Rodriguez fan, and Bai Ran is not interested in what Vic said.

"Okay, okay, please don't block my phone."

Vic was a little curious and asked suspiciously: "What are you watching? Press conference?"

Bai Ran shook his head and frowned: "Interview."

On the mobile phone screen, it was an interview with Raul by the New York media!

After returning from Madrid, Raul's mental state seemed to be much better.

The knot in his heart was untied, and he felt completely different.

Under the lights, Raul, wearing a suit, sat upright, with a very calm expression, and said in a deep voice: "In short, after considering all aspects, I decided to retire."

"Oh my God..."

The reporters were in an uproar. The retirement of this legendary star would definitely cause a sensation.

Raul continued: "The specific time has not been decided yet, but it should be soon."

A reporter hurriedly asked: "What is the specific reason for your retirement? And what are your plans after retirement? Can you tell us?"

Although Raul's mentality has been adjusted, his expression still flashed a hint of sadness when he mentioned this matter.

"First of all, I am very happy to play in New York. This is a good experience in my life. The teammates here are very kind and the fans are very enthusiastic."

"But maybe because of my age, I feel more and more that it is difficult for me to bring positive effects to the team."

"As you can see, I am 38 years old. I should give opportunities to those younger and more promising players. If I have to choose a time to end my football career, I think it is now."

At this point, Raul paused.

"Uh..."

"I don't have a very clear plan after retirement, but I may become a coach. Cultivating new football superstars will make me feel fulfilled."

"But that's all for the future. At present, I just want to be with my family."

At this time, another voice came from the crowd of reporters.

"Mr. Raul, it is reported that you went to Madrid a few days ago. Did you make the decision during that trip to Spain?"

Raul had nothing to hide, so he nodded.

"Yes, I went to my old friend Zidane and got some advice."

"You know, he is coaching Real Madrid B team, very successful, I went to see their youth team."

"There are some talented young talents inside, and in their youth training, I also met a child who impressed me very much. It was because of these that I had the idea of ​​becoming a coach."

Everyone looked at each other, which made Raul extremely impressed!

The child he was talking about must be very strong!

I wonder if he is from Brazil or a native of Spain?

The reporter couldn't help asking: "Can you talk about the young player you just mentioned in detail?"

Faced with this question, Raul's thoughts instantly crossed the ocean and seemed to return to Madrid.

Looking at the scene of the young man named "Bai Ran" dragging the tire under the scorching sun, it was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Thinking of this, Raul smiled slightly: "Wait and see, you will definitely see him in the future."

"Bai Ran."

"Bai Ran!"

"Get off the bus!"

Hermoso's voice interrupted Bai Ran's thoughts.

Looking up, he was the only one left in the bus.

I was so absorbed in watching it...

Bai Ran quickly packed his luggage and prepared to get off the bus.

As expected, Zidane once again put him in the starting lineup for this match.

After settling down in a hotel near the home team's stadium, the players came to the Camarillo Stadium with their backpacks on their backs.

The match was about to start in half an hour. Bai Ran sorted himself out and changed his jersey in the player's locker room.

"Players from both sides please enter the field!"

The broadcast was deafening. Bai Ran put on his socks, put on his shin guards, and hurried to the player's tunnel to line up with his teammates.

When he first arrived here, Bai Ran was almost shocked!

Seeing the tall and strong players of Menzajero wearing red jerseys, Bai Ran couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

I guess they will have a hard time in the game later.

But it's just right to use them to test my sense of smell in front of the goal like Raul!
