Football: After listening to the persuasion, I became the strongest free man!

Chapter 304 There is no way to win but there are ways to win!

Turning around, it was the scene of match day.

The crowded Bernabeu once again ushered in the arrival of match day.

The fans enthusiastically held their own support signs and huge flags and walked into the Bernabeu Stadium with their heads held high.

This game is of great significance to them. It is the third game of the league, and in two days, it will be the birthday of the team's star Modric.

After this year's birthday, Modric's age has increased by one year. To be honest, this player is no longer young. He is now at his peak. In a few years, he will probably leave. It's downhill.

Fortunately, Bai Ran's arrival during this period has relieved a lot of his burden, making Modric's running area much smaller.

The formation for today's game is also very simple. Real Madrid has decided to use the same tactics as the previous game. Ronaldo and Casemiro directly became the starting midfielders. As the attackers in the frontcourt, Mora The two strikers Ta and Bai Ran partnered to attack the opponent's defense.

On the wings, Asensio and Vazquez serve as left and right wingers, providing a steady stream of offensive opportunities in the center.

There are not many changes at the back. Varane partners with Ramos to guard the goal in the middle. Marcelo and Carvajal are separated on both sides. In front of the goal line, Real Madrid's substitute goalkeeper Ka, who comes to the rescue in times of crisis, is still there. Celia.

Navas was injured in the previous game and was temporarily unable to play. Isco also strained his ligament in the previous training day and may need to rest for a while.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, two heavyweight superstars, Benzema and Ronaldo, were included in Zidane's substitute list. In other words, their injuries have improved during this period. And Zidane is likely to let their two forwards participate in the game and gradually return to competitive form.

It is for this reason that today's game is extraordinary. Many Real Madrid fans came to the scene to watch the game.

They also want to see if the superstar they care about can get better.

The atmosphere at the scene was very warm. Fans from both sides had already entered the stadium. Not many Osasuna fans came to the Bernabeu to support their team, but the momentum was still very grand.

The fans here are even more fanatical than those in Asia, and even small teams like the C-League have die-hard fans.

Bai Ran and a group of teammates stood in the tunnel, preparing to play football. The camera scanned their faces, and everyone's eyes flashed with determination.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid is determined to win this game.

Bai Ran also stepped onto the green field with a lot of freshness in this game, because in more than a year of playing in Spain, Bai Ran had never even played against Osasuna.

Similarly, Osasuna had only heard about Bai Ran's deeds, knew Bai Ran's legend, and had seen Bai Ran's game highlights, but had not seen Bai Ran's magical performance up close.

It is precisely because of this that the opponent's head coach sent out a 352 formation, with the purpose of limiting Bai Ran's point.

They knew that in the last round of the game, Real Madrid sent Bai Ran as the forward. In this position, the youngster's strength was still as good as before, causing countless troubles to Celta Vigo.

Osasuna instantly understood what they had to do in this game to be able to guard against this player like a revelation.

That is to put together a big bus lineup!

Their formation is obviously biased towards defense.

There are only two players at the forward, namely Kernan Corodo and Riviere from France.

In the midfield, they sent out veterans Oyer San Juljo, Tienza and Deras Cuevas.

I have also heard of Tienza's name. Among Spanish local players, Tienza is relatively well-known as a defensive midfielder.

Osasuna's overall lineup seems to be among the best in terms of strength.

The young Delas Cuevas is responsible for organizing and dispatching breakthroughs in the middle. This player's defensive ability is weak. It can be said that this side is the easiest offensive point for Real Madrid. Just surround this side to blast. , should yield results soon.

But Cuevas' offensive ability should not be underestimated. His shooting, passing speed and dribbling are both good. This requires more attention from midfielder Casemiro.

Because Real Madrid's formation is like this. Modric has lost the natural barrier in the midfield, and there is no sudden defensive movement. Only Casemiro's defense is left. There's no way he can outrun the passer.

And James Rodriguez does not have any defensive ability. In modern football, this is especially a shortcoming.

But Zidane did not embarrass Ronaldo. This is normal. The player's personal ability and style are one aspect. The most important thing is how the head coach will use the players.

Just like when Bai Ran was in Castile, Bai Ran at that time was much more youthful than he is now, his immature face was still like a child, and he often struggled on the training ground with a rustic face.

When Zidane first came into contact with Bai Ran, he only thought that this player's passing skills and control of the overall situation were good, so he brought him to the professional team.

He didn't have high hopes at the beginning, and he didn't ask Bai Ran to be an all-around midfielder with both offense and defense. Instead, he asked him to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, give full play to his passing advantages, avoid physical collisions, and try to get the ball out with one kick. .

Even Bai Ran, who has only one shining point, can still shine dazzlingly under Zidane's command.

Therefore, a player's own ability dimension is certainly important, but the application of the head coach is even more critical.

Osasuna's back line is much more lively, with left back Fuentes and right back Tano ready to go.

In the center, David Garcia and Unai Garcia are on standby near the left and right goalposts, and Miguel Franho is guarding the center.

The goalkeeper in front of the goal line is Nauset Perez, a bald man with a height of 1.90 meters.

The players on both sides stood in their respective positions, and with the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Real Madrid took the lead at home, and Bai Ran started the ball from the forward position and distributed it to Asensio on the wing.

The latter looked up, turned around and handed the ball to Casemiro.

During this period of time, Real Madrid played unhurriedly. They once controlled the ball in the midfield, but as they moved forward, they did not have a good chance to score.

Because Osasuna's defense was too tight, even the three midfielders retreated to positions near the penalty area. Only two players in the frontcourt were eagerly waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, and the five defenders were even more eager to watch the other Real Madrid players. .

Ronaldo took the ball and handed it to Vazquez.

Vazquez wanted to move forward to find Bai Ran, but the people on the opposite side were too crowded. In this case, it was difficult to safely put the ball at the feet of his teammates.

The stalemate lasted until 15 minutes, and there was still no goal in the game. Real Madrid's ball possession rate had reached 78%, and Osasuna on the other side only had 22% of the ball possession rate, but they did not score any points.

Real Madrid even had very few chances to kick the ball. There were 0 shots inside the penalty area, but there were two long-range shots outside the penalty area, but unfortunately they did not hit the goal.

Ronaldo received a cross pass from Vazquez on the outside of the penalty area, adjusted his position and volleyed the goal!

The ball was still over the crossbar and did not pose any threat.

Although Real Madrid's offense continued, it was unable to cause difficulties for Osusuna's bus for a long time.

This is their purpose, just to contain Real Madrid's offense throughout.

Moreover, Real Madrid under Zidane is a team that likes to counterattack and find loopholes. Once they are allowed to hold the ball, they are not very good at playing.

If the opponent of a wealthy team like this is Barcelona, ​​then you must not set up a bus, because the opponent can use detailed short passes and positional warfare to make you dizzy, and you will not be able to play well.

But for a team like Real Madrid, which is famous for its quick, agile and efficient counterattacks, the effect of setting up the bus is very significant.

It was obvious that Real Madrid was at a disadvantage due to fierce defense and low-numbered zone operations again and again.

Soon, the game came to the 20th minute. Osasuna seized the opportunity and immediately counterattacked after stealing the ball!

At this moment, neither Marcelo nor Carvajal was in the backcourt. The opponent's delas Cuevas took the ball and moved forward at high speed. There were two teammates in front of him, one was Cnan Cordero and the other was Rivier. .

And Real Madrid only has Casemiro, Varane and Ramos!

This is a very good opportunity, and the frontcourt instantly creates a three-on-three situation!

Cuevas dribbled the ball forward. Faced with Casemiro's attack, he stopped the ball and then passed it forward in a flash of lightning. Riviere got the ball!

There is still a large space in the frontcourt. At this time, the opponent's other partner, center Cordero, deceived Varane with a reverse movement, and Rivière finally found the flaw in Ramos' movement and easily took over. When the ball is dunked, it is dunked under yourself first. Although Ramos is experienced, he can make the opponent extremely uncomfortable in one-on-one defense, but it is still difficult to intercept the ball cleanly.

He could only follow Rivière and stop to wait for the follow-up processing. At this time, Rivière made an overhead pass. The ball passed Ramos and passed over the head of Real Madrid's defense and came into the penalty area. .

Cordero ran forward in a very good direction. Real Madrid's goalkeeper Casilla rushed out to save the ball, but at this time the ball had fallen from the air. Cordero was in a very good position. Let's see how he will deal with it. !

Cordero poked his head out and nodded like a dragonfly. While catching the ball, he pushed the ball into an arc. This arc was just out of Casilla's reach. The Real Madrid goalkeeper leaned back and jumped high with his arms. He stretched out so far, but he just couldn't touch the ball.

The ball went in!

OMG!

At the end of the game in the 22nd minute, Osasuna actually led Real Madrid 1-0!

Is this synonymous with being careless and losing Jingzhou?

After being unable to attack for a long time, Real Madrid finally made a mistake during the opponent's defensive counterattack, allowing the opponent to easily score a point!

This point is so crucial!

The Osasuna players were very excited, and the fans jumped up and applauded for this feat!

Last season's defending champion, when playing against a team in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, was actually defeated by the opponent.

This made Real Madrid's morale drop a bit.

However, Zidane saw some clues from the situation on the field.

Ronaldo's loss of defensive ability played a crucial role. When Real Madrid attacked in the frontcourt, both full-backs were involved, which is normal.

But when the opponent intercepted the ball and during the transition between offense and defense, Osasuna counterattacked. It was not enough to rely solely on the defense of Casemiro and two central defenders.

Ronaldo has no defensive ability at all, which is an unsuitable point.

In fact, whether it is replaced by Modric or Bai Ran, this position can cause damage to the opponent.

This point is actually irrelevant, but it must be there.

Even if he is a poor defensive player, as long as he can make the opponent uncomfortable enough, he can get the ball out as early as possible.

In fact, the purpose is to force the other party.

And this task cannot be completed by James Rodriguez.

Zidane has already begun to figure out how to play in the next game.

After a celebration, Osasuna returned to the field again and were able to score against Real Madrid, which boosted their morale.

Real Madrid continued to kick off, and Bai Ran still passed it to the foot of Vazquez on the wing.

Vazquez and Bai Ran still had some chemistry. After a series of hitting the wall, Bai Ran just tore a hole in the left side of the opponent's defense.

Fuentes was left behind, and Osasuna had only seven people left in the backcourt.

Only...seven are left?

Bai Ran didn't know it, and he was almost scared to death. The penalty area was already crowded with people. Even if he passed the ball, he might not have a good chance. It was more likely to be destroyed in the melee.

Seeing this situation, Bai Ran didn't care anymore, he just swung his kick and fired, hitting an unknown person.

Being blocked is also normal. Bai Ran didn't expect this shot to go in because there were too many people in the penalty area. This shot was also Bai Ran's way of venting his dissatisfaction.

The crowd dispersed, and the opponent Unai Garcia was seen clutching his stomach and falling to the ground in pain. It turned out that the kick was directly on the opponent's stomach, and it hurt to look at it!

Unai Garcia's facial features were all twisted together, and he looked very painful. Bai Ran also knew that what he did was not a good thing, so he stepped forward to check on Unai Garcia's condition.

Unai Garcia was lying on the ground rolling. When he saw Bai Ran coming over and stretching out his hand to pull him, he knocked off Bai Ran's arm with a snap.

"Get away, monkey."

"If you don't know how to play football, get out!"

Bai Ran frowned slightly, tilted his head and squinted at the other person.

Yo ho...

It's shameless, right?

The referee didn't say anything. After signaling the two sides to stop making noise, Real Madrid was asked to take a corner kick.

Bai Ran stared at Unai Garcia and smiled.

Everyone around them noticed a hint of chill...

It seemed to emanate from this Asian kid.

This aura makes even Unai Garcia's hair stand on end when he feels it. What kind of reputation does this kid... have?

Is he really that scary?

At this time, Ronaldo has come to the corner flag area to take the corner kick. Inside the penalty area, Morata, Varane and Ramos are all eager to compete for the top.

With Bai Ran's God's perspective open, he could know everything three meters away. He even knew exactly how many people were behind him, how tall and heavy each person was, and where they were.

boom!

The corner kick was taken, and at Ronaldo's feet, the ball flew high into the air with a hint of spin.

Bai Ran suddenly started to move at this moment. He first took two steps back. The opponent's center back Miguel Franho just wanted to push Bai Ran with the power of his arms, but who knew that Bai Ran seemed to have eyes in the back of his head? , the body bent down, and quickly avoided the opponent's movements.

Then, when facing Unai Garcia, Bairan shot left and right. The characteristics of the bipedal monster were fully demonstrated at this moment. He made a fake move with his left foot and easily penetrated Unai Garcia's wicket!

Oh my god...

my darling!

The audience in the stands were dumbfounded. They danced in vain on the edge of the opponent's penalty area, performing acrobatics here like elves in the sky!

Bai Ran was also secretly happy, this SSS-level card was just different, it was really fun to use!

In the past, he had to activate his fancy moves one by one, but this time, his real ability has greatly increased. On the court, Bai Ran can use the information he gets to react quickly, and at a certain moment, he can subconsciously use tricks to get past the opponent. .

If there is no way to win, there is a way!

This man's action of passing the ball and passing Unai Garcia through the crotch made the audience explode with applause and cheers.

Bai Ran's performance didn't seem to be over yet. After passing the ball to Asensio on the wing, Bai Ran immediately ran back to create a gap. Asensio made an overhead pass without stopping the ball, and the ball came to Bai Ran's side. before!

The opportunity was too late to miss. Unai Garcia knew that he had made a mistake and hurriedly stepped forward to make amends. At this time, Bai Ran swung his calf and kicked the ball!

The ball did not go in, and the opponent's goalkeeper Perez saved the ball.

What a thrill!

Real Madrid almost tied the score as fast as lightning, but unfortunately Bai Ran's shot caused a considerable threat to the opponent, but it did not cause any substantial damage.

The opponent's goalkeeper also performed well. From such a close distance, it is rare to be able to quickly reflect Bai Ran's shooting path and block it.

It was Real Madrid's corner kick opportunity again, and Ronaldo took the penalty from the side.

Morata and Ramos, who were grabbing points in the middle, were already in place. After Real Madrid experienced the last loss, they learned a lesson and placed Varane in the core defensive position at the back.

In order to prevent the opponent from repeating their old tricks, they will carry out defensive counterattacks while Real Madrid is unable to attack for a long time.

In the center of the opponent's penalty area, everyone was pushing and shoving each other, trying to get the first point of the ball.

Bai Ran was at the top of the penalty area, ready to go, looking for an opening in the opponent's defense.
