[Football] I'm just a defender

"Friends in the audience, you are watching the No.14 round of La Liga. At the Calderon Stadium in Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid is currently leading 1:0. Next, I will bring you a live broadcast of the second half of the game .”

On both sides of the stadium stands, although it is the home stadium of Atletico Madrid, there are really many Real Madrid fans who come here.Although the fans of the rivals in the same city may be colleagues or even good friends with each other, when the Madrid derby starts, these old relationships are thrown aside and they are at war with each other.As far as Real Madrid is concerned, you would rather lose to any La Liga team including Barcelona than to lose to Atletico Madrid.

In other words, as long as you perform well in the Madrid derby, congratulations, you will be the darling of the fans for a long time to come.

The schedule has been relatively tight recently, and Erguera's knee injury recurrence is expected to be reimbursed for about one month, and Pavon will replace him.In the first half, when Ronaldo received Raul's assist and scored the goal, the heart-piercing shouts and cheers from the Meilingers made him think that he had won the whole world.

In the case of falling behind by one goal, Atletico Madrid will not choose to back down. Atletico Madrid fans will not allow it, nor will their own style of play and characteristics.Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid replaced a striker after conceding a goal first, and the pressure on Real Madrid's defense instantly increased a lot.When Fran and Salgado double-attacked the Atletico Madrid striker, but was stuck in a corner kick by the opponent, Salgado patted Fran on the back as a sign of encouragement, and said nothing else, and went back to the penalty area to prepare Corner marking.

The defensive strategy of corner kicks has always been zone + man-marking. Pavon and Salgado have followed the opponent's main striker respectively. Forlan stood beside Casillas and looked at the front post. The moment he met Beckham's eyes Nodding his head, he is responsible for the offensive and defensive vertical turn. If the corner kick is blocked, he will immediately drive the ball to Beckham and he will launch a quick counterattack.

Atlético Madrid took a corner kick and saw that the opponent's striker jumped up and was about to head the ball. While Iker Casillas raised his hand high to catch the ball, he also planned to fight for the header just in case.At the moment of take-off, the opponent's striker seemingly inadvertently pressed his shoulders. In the camera, it seemed that Fran accidentally bumped into him when he jumped up, and his figure in the air was a little out of control. While desperately returning to the defense, it was handed over to Fran, who had stabilized his figure. Fran raised his eyes and swung his big feet to pass to Beckham who was waiting in the middle arc.

The crisis in front of the goal was temporarily lifted, and Casillas glanced at Fran, and said without moving his lips, "The game is over in 10 minutes, carry on brother." Fran moved his shoulders and frowned. The serious injury is Definitely not, but it must have been bruised. The collision was really ruthless, but he still wanted to say, "It's okay, there's nothing I can't bear."

And this time, the fast attack started from the goalkeeper Casillas, because of the defense in place and the quick adjustment of offensive and defensive transitions, Raul made another victory for Real Madrid.

There was a burst of boos from the Atlético fans. I don't know if it was Raúl who was running and celebrating on the Calderón Stadium or venting his grievances against his team.In the first minute, he got a corner kick and saw a chance to score. In the next minute, the offensive and defensive rotation allowed the rival to pour in a goal.Life is full of surprises.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and if nothing else happened, Real Madrid had already won this game.However, when Atletico Madrid played against Real Madrid, they always played with a kind of ruthlessness. This kind of ruthlessness is not only reflected in the ruthlessness they played from the forward to the defender, but also in the fact that they will never allow them to play until the last moment of the game. They bowed their heads in front of Real Madrid.So even if Atletico Madrid is only ranked in the middle and upper reaches of La Liga in this season's league, even if this team falls into the relegation zone, it is the most difficult opponent for Real Madrid.

When Atletico Madrid launched an attack again, Pavon and Forlan, who fell behind the team, were ready to fight.With a beautiful long pass from the opponent's midfielder, the forward hidden in the crowd instantly accelerated to stand out.The football landing position was very close to Fran and Pavon, and the opponent was coming fiercely. Fran subconsciously moved forward to cause offside, but Pavon, who was farther away, crossed the parallel line one step ahead of the striker.Fran, whose offside plan fell through in an instant, immediately called back to make amends. Seeing that the opponent was about to rush into the penalty area, he immediately put a shovel on him without hesitation.

The referee blew the whistle and immediately awarded Fran a yellow card. Fran stepped back and acquiesced in the penalty, staring at him and awarded another free kick, then frowned and shook his hand.In fact, the positioning of the ball in this position is not very good. Although the football went around after the wall was lined up, Casillasto went out of the crossbar.But it wasn't just the penalty that Fran was worried about. He didn't get many yellow cards during this period, and he didn't even get a single red card. According to his defensive style of play, it's a bit strange.Even with the addition of today's yellow card, according to La Liga's rule of automatic suspension of five yellow cards, there are still two left.What made him really feel awkward was the very beginning of this mistake.

After this attack, until the end of the game, neither side organized a decent attack again.

After the game, Raul still followed Queiroz to the press conference. No one criticized Forlan's defense. After all, if the opponent enters the penalty area without a shovel, it will only be more dangerous.Guti looked at Casillas with the water bottle in his hand, and pouted at Fran, "Igor, you said him, he seems unhappy?" The fact of defeating Atletico Madrid made Guti very happy. And I don't want others to be unhappy.

Casillas shrugged, seeing that Guti was about to put his hand on Fran, he quickly pulled Fran over, and nodded his shoulders to meet Gutinahan's sight, "It's hurt." Guti quickly raised his hands Hold it high and take a step back, indicating that I will not touch it.

I don’t know if the double reed in front of me didn’t attract half of Fran’s attention. Guti scratched his wet hair and watched Cassie whisper, “Why are you depressed, not to mention that you were originally there to take advantage of the trend? The one who was offside was because Sisko failed to understand your plan and was anti-offside. It’s okay to be anti-offside, and it’s not your fault that you have to foul because of being passed by others.”

Of course Guti’s midfielder didn’t see the scene in the goalkeeper’s field of vision. He thought of the yellow card and saw that the little teammate who usually didn’t care about anything was so depressed, “【When to attack and when to defend , the rhythm is too difficult to grasp, and the rhythm of all this is not up to me] Look, I didn’t lie to you, it’s not because my teammates are inexperienced, right? I know I’m the youngest one on the team? It’s because I can’t help it at all .”

The quick-witted Guti instantly understood what he was talking about, "So, how is this like what you said, the two of you have no competition for positions? How is it possible? The central defenders of each family are the core of the defense line, and it's just you and Sisko, when Erguera recovers from his injury, the two of you will fight to command the defense." He didn't care about Cassie's expression of wanting to calm down the situation at all, and said to himself, "Perform well against Barcelona. Damn it, beat Barcelona. This is an obvious competition."

The anger was transferred quite well, and Casillas sighed silently in his heart.It's purely Jose playing Barcelona, ​​​​it's really...

After the match against Atletico Madrid, everyone put into preparations for the match against Barcelona. Although Barcelona is currently ranked fifth in the league and has just been overtaken by Athletic Bilbao, which was originally fifth, no one will not value this game .

The training was basically over, and Fran snuggled up to Zidane, who was kicking free kicks for extra training, "Zidan, can you play with me for a while?" Lan Houzhi didn't express clearly, "I want to see the fancy tricks..."

"Do you want to learn fancy tricks?" Zidane saw his teammates quickly wave their hands after asking, "No, I really want to see it with my own eyes, so that I am familiar with it."

"Aren't there a lot of videos?" Zidane said this, but he didn't refuse. The French appreciate this kind of junior, from talent to hard work, of course he will not refuse.Fran touched his hair with a smile. Of course, he has watched the video tape countless times, "But after all, seeing it in person is still different."

The situation of Fran pestering Zidane aroused the laughter of the crowd. Fran was so skinny and shameless that he pulled his face into a ball and made a grimace as if nothing happened. Zidane took Fran's shoulders and talked with Beckham. Mu showed off, "Look, your teammate is mine now."

Of course, Beckham can’t compare with Zidane in playing skills. Fran studied Ronaldinho’s playing style. Although the difference is huge, the Englishman suggested that he seek Zidane to get acquainted with that kind of unpredictability. Actions.Beckham smiled and said nothing. He looked up and met Ronaldo's eyes. The Brazilian seemed to see something.

When Fran and Zidane came back from training for another half an hour and planned to take a shower and go home, they opened the door and saw the person waiting in the locker room. It turned out to be the alien Ronaldo.Zidane is such a smart person, he smiled and bypassed his teammates and went to take a shower. Ronaldo looked at Forlan who was sweating profusely, "You're done training, are you planning to go home?"

"No, Ronnie... what's wrong?" He scratched his head strangely.I only heard the other party ask abruptly, "Isn't it Ronaldinho? As a teammate of the national team, of course I am more familiar with his style of play, not to mention the style of play of South Americans. You can't learn from the French if you ask for it. "

"However, they all started in Ligue [-]..." That delicate style of play has always been respected by Ligue [-].

Ronaldo, who made his debut in Brazil and then transferred to the Eredivisie, snorted, "Go, pack up, I'll take you to my house."

Catalonia, Barcelona.

Like Real Madrid, which is ready to fight, Barcelona also attaches great importance to the next game.They already know most people in the team, and about Beckham, it has been repeatedly studied by countless people in the past six months in La Liga.At this time, everyone in Barcelona watched the video, the protagonist of which was Francisco Alvarez.

"He is still a rookie in the league after all. How likely is it that he gets a red card for a foul?" someone in the team asked, and Puyol frowned and looked at an acquaintance in the video. He has the right to speak, "He is not an easy player to get a card, even though he is at the Nou Camp..." He swallowed the rest of the words, after all, everyone knows that every team has the influence of the home whistle. Immediately changed the subject and watched the video carefully.

"Queiroz is... making him play like a sweeper?... In addition to having a strong defensive ability, it also requires an excellent ability to judge the situation." Argentine international Saviola said Looking at Cocu, who also played the central defender position in the team, Cocu looked at Puyol, but before Puyol could speak, Xavi, who was sitting next to Iniesta, interjected, "He played in the youth team. Training, reserve team, this is the way of playing. It was a joke at the beginning of the season."

Overmars stretched his arms, "It's a defensive back, right?"

Madrid, on the way to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo turned the steering wheel and looked at Fran in the co-pilot position, "You know the task given to you, right? Although in terms of position and role so far, you are a central defender, but the head coach gave you Your positioning is not only this, you also understand, right?"

"Scavenger?"

"Scavenger? No, you're not playing a sweeper. Three central defenders may be, but the configuration of four central defenders is more than just."
