[Football] I'm just a defender

Chapter 174 hapter 174

"I heard he was a man of the day," Griezmann said.Fran doesn't take this kind of pediatric provocation to heart, but he always gives people a sense of weakness if he doesn't talk back.

——Actually, I wanted to say it a long time ago. Fran's temper has really improved a lot in the past two years.

——Hey, what should I do if I like Xiaoge and Flanlan?Grid is still a child, why bother to hate Fran like this, isn't it necessary?

——Aren’t you just a kid? Back then, you heard that he was a man of the day. When he was a man of the day, you were just a young player. Can you respect your seniors?

Needless to say, although Griezmann didn't say anything excessive, but in terms of the effect of pulling hatred, it was rare to blow up their coach Simeone.

Francisco Alvarez, he was a man of the day. At that time, he was recognized as the No.1 defender in football, not one of the strongest defenders.Griezmann's words are actually not wrong. After all, he is 35 this year and has already bid farewell to the peak.

"Do you have any confidence in the Champions League final?" The reporter finally stopped Fran and asked. Although Fran felt that the question was a bit silly, he made a gesture of clenching his fist and rushing forward cooperatively when facing the camera. In order to enhance the credibility, he bared his big white teeth, "Champion!"

This was originally just a simple action, but subsequent development made it no longer simple.Ibrahimovic showed a shark smile and big white teeth on the latest updated twitter, with hand gestures and the words "come on", obviously imitating Fran's actions in the interview.

Then Raul, Guti, Cassie, from Real Madrid's old generals to the fans all spontaneously participated in this activity. Some neutral fans seemed to find this action very interesting and followed suit.Even Mourinho came to join in the fun, but the action of showing his big white teeth is really not in line with the coach's style. The photo shows his two dimples.

For the Champions League final, the Meilingers suddenly found themselves more and more confident. This was not because they looked down on Atletico Madrid as an opponent. In fact, Real Madrid sometimes had to cry and call themselves "cousin" after so many league matches. Look down on conditions?It's just that they all know that for Fran, he seems to have always followed a law, that is, he never disappoints.

Yes, he never disappoints.

On the eve of the Champions League final, Ramos fell asleep early in the night in Milan, but Forlan lay in bed staring at the ceiling for a long time without falling asleep.He knew that he should sleep well to have enough energy, and he also knew that there were sleeping pills in the side pocket of his backpack in case of accidents, but in the end he was only a little irritable but still walked into the bathroom lightly.

Fran looked at himself in the mirror and frowned. When he carefully pulled his hair, he could see a lot of white hairs. He wrapped a few strands in paper and threw them into the trash can, and found that pulling them all out was an impossible bald dream.

Fran, who was lying back on the bed again, took out his mobile phone and looked through all the messages of encouragement sent to him by his friends before, but the more he looked, the more he became more sober.

He cared so much about this Champions League trophy, what he said before was just bragging.

In the end, he quietly got up and gave himself a very small dose of sleeping pills. He didn't know whether it was the psychological effect or the effect of the medicine, but this time he fell asleep very quickly.

When Fran opened his eyes the next day, Ramos had already started to tidy up his hair. Fran sat up sleepily, "What time is it, why did you wake up so early?" Ramos was full of energy, "I woke up early It's too early." It's completely different from Fran, the guy who finally fell asleep on sleeping pills.

This season's Champions League final was held at Milan's San Siro Stadium, and the Madrid duo competed for the European crown for the second time in three years.This is not only a moment for clubs and players to make history, but also for the head coach.Zidane is expected to become the seventh person to win the Champions League as a player and coach, and Simeone strives to become the first Argentine coach to win the Champions League.

The starting lineups of the two teams did not change much when they met in the league. Because of Varane's injury, Real Madrid's central defender is the undoubted combination of Fran Ramos.Compared with Real Madrid's 433, Atletico Madrid's 442 lineup is topped by Griezmann and Torres.

The meritorious players of the two Milan teams, Baresi and Zanetti, escorted the Champions Cup into the field, and Forlan and Atletico Madrid captain Gabi led the team into the field, and the game officially began.

The Real Madrid midfielder who first got the ball was dispatched by Modric, and Casemiro gave the ball and corresponding defense beside him.The San Siro Stadium ushered in the attention of tens of millions of people that night.Kroos received the ball and launched an attack. The football was stuffed into the penalty area. It was Benzema who appeared there. Blocked with left foot.

Atletico Madrid's opportunity, neither team obviously intends to waste the opening on the midfielder and go straight to the battle.Kekai and Saul, who got the ball, were on the line. Griezmann, who was hidden among the players, was ready to go. Kekai directly moved to the sideline, but the football slipped out of bounds before Griezmann received it. .Carvajal quickly opened the ball, and Forlan and Griezmann ran at the same time. Forlan, who was close to the distance, got in place first and empirically turned his back to block Griezmann's direction, and ran to the midfield with the ball.

This is the first time that Fran and Griezmann have faced off against each other in this game. Torres rushed up while throwing away Griezmann. He planned to use his body to push Fran away, intercept the football and hit back directly. Real Madrid's restricted area caught the opponent by surprise.He came aggressively, and Fran, who lowered his head, didn't seem to notice his arrival, but it was just as if, the idea of ​​dispatching the pass flashed in his mind, and he stopped the football as if in a daze, The next second ushered in the impact of the opponent.

Passing the ball is of course a good choice, but that will only make Atlético Madrid, who rely on their physical advantages, even more rampant. If they want to suppress their arrogance, they must defeat their opponents in the ability they are most proud of.

This is the truth that he has taught many people in practice, and he has experienced it many times.

When the two collided without accident, Fran in the camera remained motionless like a wall, but Torres unconsciously grimaced and seemed to be in pain.After bearing the impact, Fran didn't even give the grinning Torres out of the corner of his eye, and brought the football up again without changing his face. He was too focused on destroying the opponent, and it was easy to lose his own rhythm.

After Fran jokingly shook off Torres, he dribbled the ball straight to the midfield. Correspondingly, the degradation of his physical fitness and stamina was the rationality of years of experience and methods.

As the opponent who played the most times against Real Madrid every season except Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid's club executives, coaches, players, and fans are all too familiar with Forlan.As Griezmann said during the all-powerful period, any Real Madrid opponent saw Forlan playing as if he had a ball attribute. At that time, people said that he was strong and iron, and Costa, who did not believe in evil, proved this to be false. What can I do?This BUG is still at its peak after returning from the injury. The deadlocks of the two-week-to-four games against Barcelona completely reversed the jittery Real Madrid at the time, and finally won their tenth Champions League.

Apart from his teammates and opponents, he knows a person best. Barcelona will always have the expectation of pulling him down from the altar, and Atletico Madrid, to be honest, they have always been worried about Forlan.

An emotional mobilizer like Simeone instilled a lot of ideas in Griezmann before the game, and he almost told Griezmann bluntly, "The goal can not be scored, Forlan must die".Griezmann also believes that this is the best time to prove himself. This is the last chance. He defeated Francisco Alvarez, and he can surpass Neymar to become the first striker of the new generation of La Liga.

When Fran stopped Saul's through pass again and saw Griezmann's frowning, he felt that the Atletico Madrid boy was particularly anxious in this game. This anxiety was not so much reflected in scoring. In fact, it is better to say that it is reflected in the competition with oneself.Simeone on the sidelines watched everything with his hands in his pockets. He didn't know if Griezmann's attitude was right for Fran. Fran just felt that the intention was obvious and the loopholes were obvious.

Griezmann, who didn't know that Forlan was considering a trick for himself, was a little angry when he was tackled by Forlan and the referee Clattenburg just warned.But reason reminded him that he was just signaling to the referee rather than arguing. After the rebuttal was invalid, Griezmann turned his head and saw Fran, who was watching the sky and adjusting the captain's armband.Griezmann, a Frenchman, actually has no hatred for Real Madrid, but at this moment he really wants to beat him completely.

But no matter how strong Griezmann's scoring desire is, it was Real Madrid who scored first, and more specifically Ramos of Real Madrid.With Kroos taking a free-kick, Bale nods back and flicks the ball, and Ramos sweeps the ball into the goal before Oblak clears.The score was rewritten to 1-0 in the first half, and the joy that belonged to Real Madrid was maintained until the halftime stage.

In the locker room, Real Madrid, who had a one-goal lead, knew that they could not relax easily against Atletico Madrid. The assistant coach was there to show Zidane the half-time statistics of both sides. Atletico Madrid's two strikers performed very differently, and Griez Mann touched the ball 48 times in the first half, while Torres, who is also a striker, only touched the ball 17 times, which is less than half of the average number of Atletico Madrid outfield players.In fact, when the starting list was revealed before the game, people were speculating whether Torres would be competent. At present, it seems that the long-term substitute has indeed made the former Atletico Madrid striker lose its edge.

Fran thought about Griezmann's state, bowed his head and smiled without saying a word.

At the beginning of the second half, Griezmann crossed the penalty area diagonally from the right rib. Torres collided with Carvajal and fell to the ground when he took the ball with his back. Clattenburg immediately blew his whistle and awarded a penalty kick.As the goalkeeper, Navas was about to protest, but Fran directly stopped Navas and Clattenburg to appeal on his behalf.The referee, who would not change the decision, waved his hand to signal to disperse, Fran turned his head and shook his head slightly at Navas.

It was Griezmann who took the penalty kick from Atletico Madrid. Standing in front of the penalty spot, Griezmann took a deep breath, and unconsciously glanced at Forlan, who was in a particularly relaxed state next to him, feeling more pressure.He tried to tell himself to calm down, but he couldn't do it when he watched Navas who was constantly moving in front of the goal. When the referee blew his whistle, Griezmann's hastily kicked penalty hit the goal post and bounced back into the penalty area.Forlan was the first to receive the football. From Griezmann's point of view, he seemed to believe that he would not be able to score the penalty. Forlan didn't choose to make a hasty transfer with his big foot, but dribbled the ball straight down.

But he didn't make an exaggerated long-distance attack, passing the ball to the feet of Modric who was already in place at half-time, and then returned safely.The game entered a tense rhythm again, and Griezmann was forced to rejoin the game before he got out of the confusion of his missed penalty.

The referees on both sides began to take advantage of the dead ball to replace players. Watching Isco and Vazquez replace Kroos and Benzema, people wonder if Zidane really believes in the philosophy of luck players.Simeone signaled Griezmann to calm down on the sidelines, but such words are always easier said than done.

The next time Griezmann came running with the ball again, Forlan, who has recently been accustomed to predicting the position, rarely directly blocked him in front of him for one-on-one marking.Griezmann is doing deceptive moves with extraordinary intentions, but Forlan has a lot of experience in dealing with these fancy moves. He can detect them from his eyesight, shoulders and even the sudden change of rhythm. Relying on speed and body, Griezmann no longer had the original sanity.

"I heard that you thought I was a man of the day?" When Forlan said this, when Griezmann wanted to overtake sideways, he directly poked the football out of the gap under his feet, and there was a pull in the open space over there. Moss stared at him.Griezmann, who had conceded the goal, staggered a little before he could not stand firmly on his front foot. Before he was lucky that he did not fall to the ground, he heard Fran, who had not left after intercepting the football, speak quietly.

"I'm so sorry, brat, I'll be a man of the day until the day I die."
