[Football] I'm just a defender

Fran said to himself over and over again that he was not convinced by accepting his fate like this and retiring to the second line.In fact, his real problem is also clear to him, why the serious decline in physical fitness has such a big impact on him, all because he has been playing without scruples based on his physical fitness for so many years.

At his peak, European football commented on him that his defensive range alone could cover his own half during the entire game.So in his seemingly exaggerated running data in each game, many of them are actually useless running.

When the midfielder holds the ball forward to provide the ball point, when the side block is blocked, the range selected when one-on-one is marked, etc., all based on his surging physical fitness have corresponding piles of responsibilities.But what he needs to do now is not a simple transformation, but a trade-off moment after moment on the football field.

Sometimes I have to complain about this kind of trouble with friends outside the circle, so when Fran cut and deleted these words to Ji Yi, Ji Yi used a metaphor.

"It's like going to eat hot pot. It's embarrassing for me to eat alone. It's not only because a red pot is not cost-effective for one person, but also because I can't order a few dishes. You think about what choices you need to make, just like I take Looking at the menu, I don't know what to choose from spinach, white radish, sliced ​​lotus root, winter melon, yam..."

Fran, who was here to confide, found that his friend had strayed off topic while talking, and began to report the names of the dishes while sucking his saliva.

"Do you want to eat that bag of hot pot ingredients that are intended to be family heirlooms again?" Fran poked Ji Yi in the head speechlessly.Ji Yi dodged left and right, without any embarrassment on his face, "I mean, it's a waste for you to eat the whole pot by yourself, you can't choose so many kinds of dishes by yourself, and you can't take care of the whole football field by yourself. Don't you have so many teammates, re-run with Ramos and the others."

While talking, Ji Yi reminded him, "Although I don't know anything about your transformation as a guard, and I don't think your retired golden retriever can give you any reliable guidance. But at least one thing he said is right. Well..."

No need for Ji Yi to say more, Fran nodded knowingly, "I know, there is no point in forcing physical training anymore. I was determined to do it in those few days."

"How can you be stubborn for a few days?" Ji Yi blatantly mocked his idol, Fran squinted at her, and saw her put on a flattering smile as if changing her face, "I invite you to eat hot pot tonight!"

Knowing that she was in what she called 'a big heart but a small appetite', Fran had nothing to do with what she ate.In the end, facing a mouthful of red pot, he thought of Ji Yi's analogy that was not very close at all.

Well, Fran suddenly felt that looking at the tumbling food one by one, he should think about what happened, and it was not a big deal.

Real Madrid's internal training can also gradually feel that Fran will try to change his style of play a little bit.Sometimes Ancelotti tried to push Forlan forward on a whim and asked him to try the midfielder position.He has a good prediction of the card position, and he has trained for so many years to see the overall situation, and his performance is remarkable.However, Ancelotti also knows that Real Madrid's midfield configuration has always been the most indispensable position. On the contrary, good defenders have always been hard to find in football.

If Real Madrid's ace defender is changed to a midfielder with occasional bright spots, I don't know if I will be scolded to death.

Ancelotti is so sad, his hair is falling down a lot.When I was driving home, I was discussing Fran’s current situation on the radio, and when I turned on the TV at home, I could see Fran’s future being discussed. From time to time, there was a message “Maybe you care”——Fran’s peak past.

Ancelotti is so worried, so much of his hair is falling down, so worried that he can dream at night that his defender is still in the state he was a few years ago, and the current decline is just a worrying nightmare.

Of course, after waking up from the dream, Ancelotti threw the newly fallen hair into the trash can, and the day went on.

Today's newspaper was placed next to breakfast, and it mentioned a talented defender who was touted recently. The kid kept saying 'Francisco Alvarez is my idol', and Ancelotti snapped Put the newspaper aside.

He hardly wanted to see Fran's name anymore.

But despite this, the Italians still remembered this sentence, and when they went to the club, they remembered to ask Zidane, "Do you know who Fran's idol was when he played football?" Zidane had a momentary reaction to this question. He was stunned, but it wasn’t a secret. Almost everyone at the end of the first phase of Galacticos knew about it, so he recalled the answer and said, “Balesi, I remember his idol is Baresi.”

And his youth training coach also disliked him for not having the offensive awareness of Baresi.

Ancelotti was a little surprised by this answer and felt it was reasonable. After all, when mentioning football defenders in the 80s, he would never skip the name. At that time, Serie A was still extremely prosperous. "But his style of play is actually not very similar to Franco's..."

It took Zidane two seconds to realize that 'Franco' was Baresi's name, and he thought to himself, if I tell you, when he first played a few games in the first team, people still called him 'Little Ness' Wouldn't you be more surprised, "Maybe because he is nearly ten centimeters taller than Baresi, and his physical fitness is exaggerated?"

"...Physically, he is indeed much better than Franco," Ancelotti said with a smile, "especially after entering 2010, believe me, every opponent of Real Madrid will fight for Breaking through the Fran + Casey lineup and racking my brains."

But the stories that happened in those two or three years were obviously not satisfactory. Zidane changed the topic, "In fact, there are still similarities, such as positioning, anticipation, and these skills that Baresi is famous for. I said, he was thinking about this when he was a child." Thinking of Zach's seemingly headache but actually unable to hide his pride, Zidane also laughed, "I heard that because he failed to light up the goal at that time, He was depressed about his technique for a while, but then he practiced hard and made a beautiful long pass."

It was just chatting at first, but Ancelotti found that the more he chatted, the clearer it seemed. His mind was working rapidly, and he responded repeatedly, "Yeah, he is really beautiful with long passes..." Ancelotti did not block the interception. There is no doubt that the prediction technology is a little rough in comparison.

He thought, probably, Fran himself had already found the direction he wanted to work on next.

The future looks worth looking forward to. It is true that the game will not stop because of this. There is always a beautiful possibility.After all, Fran himself only needs to take care of himself, and he seems to be really devoted to the transformation.

This whole-hearted devotion is reflected in the fact that his performance during normal team training remains the same. The habit of analyzing the game in his spare time for so many years has not changed, but he has spent more time studying the direction he wants to change.

As long as the goal is identified, all struggles are meaningful in Fran's view.He has always been unafraid of challenges, and has been licking honey with the tip of his knife for many years. Up to now, everything he tastes has a rusty taste.But it doesn't make people feel vicious or overexerted. In this kind of difficult period that anyone would find, after the initial dazed discomfort, his whole body is stretched and there is no pain.

He deliberately reduced useless running on the field, but he was not very successful at first, because the essence of galloping in his bones was not so easy to change.Also as Ancelotti said, if he uses his original style of play, his ability to predict is his advantage, but if he wants to transform into a "stream of consciousness defender", his predictability will appear rough.

Since the 12th European Cup follow-up to 2016, Forlan's contract has not changed.As a result, Carvajal is currently a little embarrassed to discuss contract renewal with Real Madrid. On the one hand, it is because the club’s senior management has reservations about Forlan’s future status. The negotiated salary is extremely high, and the renewal of the contract will inevitably lead to a new wrangling.

After so many years of cooperation, Carvajal has a blind trust in his players, and Fran has long been accustomed to the excessive desire for control in a certain sense of his former top agent in La Liga.Hearing that the agent brought up the issue of contract renewal again, Fran didn't think that the salary drop would be a big problem, but he also interrupted Carvajal's plan to negotiate.

For Fran's move, Carvajal interpreted it as his confidence in his own transformation, "You are right, when you succeed, the club must rush to find you to renew your contract." Honey sat confidently in Fran Shaking his legs on the sofa of Lan's family, he smirked, and began to imagine the faces of those businessmen who regretted it.

Forlan didn't break Carvajal's dream, and he didn't confess that he didn't actually think there was any possibility of renewal from the signing of the contract until 2016.

But somehow, a few days after Carvajal had terminated the negotiations, AS reported that Real Madrid and Forlan were about to reach a consensus on the renewal of the contract in recent days.Real Madrid has performed well in recent games, but Forlan's post-match ratings have always hovered around the average. He has never made mistakes like in the national derby, but he has rarely seen excellent defenses that destroy key points.

Objectively speaking, his defense has become more restrained recently. Compared with the tackles that often appeared in the past, he is now more inclined to intercept.Those in the know could see that he was trying to change his style of play, but most saw it as tiptoeing.Such an unsatisfactory performance, and the contract renewal turmoil involved in it, caused the outside world to criticize Fran's performance.

When Isco came in in the locker room, he found that Fran was about to get ready. He leaned over and walked around Fran, looking at Fran's face unabashedly.Fran was so disgusted with him that he was dizzy, he reached out and poked his head aside, and Isco fell back on Arbeloa.

Arbeloa straightened the child up, "When we were in the second-tier team, there was a saying that Alvarez had a big face and was not afraid of scolding." Carvajal, who was also from the youth training next to him, answered, "It's not just you That batch, we also knew this sentence at that time.”

Fran rolled his eyes, as long as Zach is still in the youth training camp, it is basically impossible for him to bid farewell to the black history.Isco finally finished his scrutiny. On this face, he could see twists and turns, no resentment, stories, and no fatigue.

The author has something to say: I have been addicted to Fantasy Westward Journey for a few days since the exam...

I will work hard from this chapter to the end of the main text.
