Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man.

Chapter 257 Zidane’s trial invitation, the final begins!

Cristiano already had a lot of training equipment at home, and he also had many training plans. After thinking about it for a while, he decided not to leave with Bai Ran.

"Forget it, I have something to do at home, so you can go first."

After refusing, Bai Ran also set off for training on the court.

Soon, Bai Ran arrived at the stadium and met Sans as promised.

Sanz was playing with the ball on the court in his black shirt with his pockets inserted.

His feel for the ball is really good, and he is smooth and steady when hitting the ball. Bai Ran feels that his feel for the ball is much better than that of some professional players.

When they came to the court, the two started running training. While jogging with the ball, the two also talked about their future lives.

"Then you will settle here in the United States from now on, don't you plan to leave?"

Sans nodded when he heard Bai Ran's question: "If there are no problems, I might find a job in a company."

"According to my parents' requirements, they should be satisfied with this."

Bai Ran sighed, feeling sorry for the loss of such a genius in football.

"If you have the opportunity to engage in football in the future, would you still consider it?"

Of course, if there is such an opportunity, Sanz will never give up. The reason why he is so persistent is because of his passion and love for football.

When Bai Ran said these words, Sans's eyes flashed with passion, but then they instantly became cold.

His football dream ended in a car accident a few years ago.

The lack of support from his parents and the blank looks from others could not cool down his enthusiasm, but the injury to his leg was not enough to support his ideals.

The two of them trained quietly on this field until midnight before leaving.

Bai Ran also quickly returned to the hotel to rest. One day later, they will face the final battle of the International Champions Cup. Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich again.

During the training on the second day, Real Madrid players were jogging on the court to warm up. Zidane was watching from the sidelines. He heard that Bai Ran would go to special training alone these two days. Zidane was also a little curious about Bai Ran's recent behavior. There had been some improvement over the past few days, so he called Bai Ran over.

"Bai Ran, come here."

Bai Ran ran over and said excitedly: "What's wrong, coach?"

Zidane showed a smile and asked: "How are you doing recently? Have you made any progress in training?"

"I see that you leave in a hurry after training every day. From what I know about you, you should be making rapid progress now."

Bai Ran was also confident: "No problem."

At this moment, a voice came from the sidelines.

"Hey!"

"Zidane."

At this time, everyone looked out and saw a figure standing at the gate of the stadium.

Everyone recognized that the iconic curly hair was Raul, the former prince of the Bernabeu.

Why did Raul appear here?

They were surprised and delighted that this heavyweight quickly obtained a coaching certificate after retiring, then went to the Di Stéfano Stadium and took up the coach of Real Madrid's B team Castilla.

Logically speaking, he is currently in the preparation stage before the season. How could he come to the United States all the way?

"It's none of your business, keep training."

Zidane spoke loudly to the team members, and then waved to Raul. Raul walked over in a suit and leather tie and smiled calmly: "Old friend, where are you training?"

"Oh! Bai Ran, long time no see."

Bai Ran had indeed not seen this coach for a long time. He thought that he helped arrange his devil training back then. Those days were also an important turning point on his road to success.

After that, Raul said: "I came to you today because I want to ask you something, and I also want your help."

Zidane grinned: "Okay, just say it."

The two head coaches have taken over Real Madrid's strength, with the first team and B team lineups in their hands. Last season, Castilla also advanced to the Spanish Second Division with its outstanding performance in the first half of the season.

But with the loss of talent, their lineup is getting worse and worse. Raul can deeply feel this during training. If you come to the Second Division with such a lineup, it is absolutely a no-no.

Since Ran flew away and came to the Bernabeu, Castilla's overall strength has even dropped by two levels. In the second half of the season, they frequently lost to the bottom-ranked relegation teams.

Although the relegation team is not easy to mess with, this is not Castilla's real strength.

Rodriguez and Hermoso in the team successively signed contracts with other teams in the top league. In order to make money, Real Madrid's senior management also relented and sold them. Now the only thing left for Raul to deal with is the approval from above. A valuable budget, and a group of rising youth team stars waiting to be nurtured.

The strength of this lineup is not even as high as when they were in Segunda B, let alone where they will go when they come to Segunda B next season.

So Raul came here and got straight to the point.

"I would like to ask you for advice on what should be the best solution to my current situation."

"Look, this is the tactical map I designed."

As he spoke, Raul took out a pamphlet from his pocket, with a drawing of a football field and his own tactical formations on it.

At this time, Zidane was listening attentively to Raul describing his thoughts and questions, and Bai Ran was also listening by the way.

Bai Ran could understand the general meaning of Raoul.

In other words, at the beginning of next season, Real Madrid's B team Castilla is in trouble. The team's powerful midfielders and forwards have gone away, and there are almost no attackers who can really play.

However, now there are several young men from the youth team in the team. Their speed is fast, their dribbling skills are not outstanding, and their court experience is almost zero.

In terms of shooting, they need to hone it, and now it can only be said that it is at a level that will be enough for the second division.

With this kind of personnel configuration, Raul can only formulate the team's tactics as defensive counterattack, so whether it is 352 or 442, they are facing a huge problem.

There is no need to worry too much when there is a steal expert like Patrice in the backcourt. There are a few newly joined wing speedsters in the frontcourt who are barely usable, but there is a big gap in the midfield.

They need a release point, otherwise they will have to change their strategy.

Zidane held the booklet and fell into deep thought.

"Indeed, do you have any current recruitment targets?"

There was a look of confusion in Raul's eyes.

"I'm just thinking about this issue. Should I stick to my strategy and introduce a ball-playing midfielder, or make tactical adjustments based on the personnel I have now."

To put it simply, it is whether the selection of players serves the tactics, or the tactics serve the players.

A head coach, especially an excellent head coach, never applies a template and fills in players. Instead, he is able to make the best use of everyone in the face of different player assignments. This is a qualified head coach. Coaching job.
