[Football] I'm just a defender

As understated as Ronaldo is but rightly said, no matter how many times Francisco Alvarez takes a serious look at the defense against Ronaldinho, it doesn't really matter much in two or three days.Sometimes what he does on the court is a habit of the body, and sometimes he creates an excellent goal without thinking. He may not even know what dribble will be in the next second, and what will Fran do? Defend?

Ronaldinho is undoubtedly a genius, but this does not mean that Forlan has no talent. However, when facing a striker, a defender always needs to see the opponent's actions and think about solutions, and is at a disadvantage.

But it is impossible to think that because of this, Fran can do nothing about it and just wait for the opponent to lead him by the nose.Of course, newcomers may be far inferior to veterans in terms of experience, but this kind of newcomers will always have an impulse to try to overturn the giant wheel.For mature players, Barcelona is a powerful and difficult opponent, but for Forlan, it is not only a strong opponent, but also an opportunity to become famous that seems out of reach but close at hand .

Yes, when his teammates are all frowning and thinking about how to win, this guy may still be a little dull and nervous in the eyes of everyone and needs to relieve the pressure by teasing his opponents who are both enemies and friends, but in fact he is silently planning how to use Barcelona to become famous .

Of course, Real Madrid's newcomer Francisco Alvarez this season is really good, and he is already recognized in La Liga. He has even been noticed by several La Liga teams before he has been promoted to La Liga.But he knows that the 'good' defender Fran is not absolutely able to stay in Real Madrid. Perez said that "Real Madrid only needs the best". admitted it.

'Good' defender Forlan wants to make himself 'good', 'top', 'unique' defender Forlan.Although he always thought that he didn't have much ambition, but in order to realize that ultimate dream, there is nothing wrong with asking for more and more extravagance.

If it only takes the best, then he strives to be the best.

The topic returned to the court. Forlan was told by many people before that Ronaldinho is very strong. Yes, it can be seen from the video that his performance is really strong, but how strong is this Brazilian? To what extent, he felt that he must not have experienced it deeply.The moves are so beautiful, the extraordinary is so chic, the ball is so weird, and then?

Then what?Ronaldinho, who was dribbling forward in front of Fran, noticed his opponent, the "defensive genius" who was mentioned by the head coach before the game, and grinned. He is not handsome or even pleasing to the eye. It’s like playing a soft light. For a genius like Ronaldinho, the stronger the opponent, the more motivation he has to fight. It’s the same this time. Francisco Pavon has performed well in Real Madrid for more than two seasons, but it seems At the beginning of this season, this rookie took away a lot of attention and even almost put him on the bench. If it weren't for Elguera's injury this time, he might not have the chance to play.He wanted to know what the talent of this 'genius' who was analyzed by Barcelona just after being promoted was manifested.

Holding the ball, swaying left and right, and twisting his waist, Fran saw that his center of gravity had shifted, and immediately stepped out to block his forward path. However, Ronaldinho, who was the focus of everyone's attention, shook at an extremely exaggerated angle. He abruptly adjusted his center of gravity to the other side.Fran felt bad when he realized that he wanted to make a kick. Ronaldinho has already fooled too many people with this dance-like natural and coherent movement. He doesn't want to be a background board for this guy's highlights , and it was too late to retract his foot, so he only poked out the other foot desperately.

Such juggling and splitting movements may make people laugh if they are singled out, but at this time, everyone including Ronaldinho will not laugh at the development of the ball. This movement is indeed strange. , but it works.Seeing that he was about to dribble the ball away from him, the ball at Ronaldinho's feet turned around under his probing. Although the force was too weak, it was still controlled by Ronaldinho's hook, but no one could say that Ronaldinho just now For the first time, Erdinho made a breakthrough.

In fact, the ball was not of much use. If Ronaldinho, who stopped his pace at this time, continued to attack after regaining control of the ball, Fran, who had temporarily lost his center of gravity, would have no time to respond.However, during this time-consuming process, Pavin rushed over, double-teamed and snatched the ball anyway, and his big feet went straight forward.Fran's heartbeat increased and he looked at the Brazilian who ran away. Every coach taught himself that the center of gravity is the most important point when playing football, but his opponent just shifted the center of gravity indiscriminately against common sense. , and there was no loss of balance or obstruction of movement, and his ball skills were still as flexible as dancing.

Flexibility, balance, speed, explosiveness, shooting, touch, thinking, talent, imagination...

With just one goal, he knew that, apart from those in the Real Madrid team, this was the strongest enemy he had ever seen since landing in La Liga.Moreover, Nima is not a pure shooter. What Barcelona value more is his excellent overall view and ability to organize and pass the ball.

And this time it was Pavon's help that completely blocked the attack, but Ronaldinho is not the only one in Barcelona's talent pool. It is impossible for Real Madrid to throw out two central defenders to guard Ronaldinho. Barcelona knows it, and Real Madrid knows it too.

Fran let out a long sigh of relief. He should have realized this earlier, and he wasn't too surprised.And according to what Queiroz said when he arranged his tactics before the game, Ronaldinho's football is very imaginative, creative and aesthetic. In fact, if this kind of football is successful, it will certainly create one after another. Excellent work, but there has never been a perfect one in the world. What is offset by this kind of street football-like style of play is the super high stability.The Brazilian who has just landed in La Liga from Ligue [-] with the halo of tomorrow's superstar is still very 'young', and this young man also has the habit of being easily caught and loopholes that he has not changed yet.

"Fran, I know you still have a lot of skills that I haven't seen. You are responsible for guarding Ronaldinho closely. I know that your reaction and explosive power are very fast, and your flexibility is also good. You can keep up. He, you have to do your best to keep up with him, limit his erratic movements, and limit his passing angle. This is when you are defending," Queiroz pointed to the positioning on the whiteboard. "As for offense— —”

When Ronaldinho received a pass from Xavi and entered the Real Madrid half again, Forlán moved up to him and entangled his movements.Ronaldinho is not afraid of pressure, even he likes pressure from opponents, which just proves his importance to his team.But from halftime?Ronaldinho dribbled the ball and stepped on two bicycles. Fran didn't even blink his eyes. He was obviously not deceived by his fake moves. He suddenly smiled, "Can you really keep up with me?"

Fran didn't say a word, and soon Ronaldinho will understand that it's not a question of whether he can keep up, this kid clings to him like a piece of brown sugar.keep up?He doesn't need to keep up, but simply can't be thrown off.His movements seemed to hold Ronaldinho in his arms. The scene was so beautiful that Harvey, who was on the same team as Ronaldinho, couldn't help looking away.There were waves of boos from the Camp Nou home fans, perhaps as the on-site commentary said, "We all thought that when Barcelona hit Real Madrid, it was an artistic and beautiful visual experience." As for the current ball holder The scene with the defender makes people want to cover their eyes, what's the 'art and beauty'?

But despite this, his defense really prevented the referee from blowing the whistle. You can't call a foul just because the defense screen is blind. The defense like a dog skin plaster is completely different from the fierce collision of the first meeting just now.Not only that, he concealedly pulled Ronaldinho's jersey, and his foot, which was only to limit the angle of Ronaldinho's shot, was already planning to steal it from the side with great scheming.

Ronaldinho is used to defensive players always targeting him in this way, but compared to players who rely on blocking to predict defense, he really hates this unaesthetic way even more.And Francisco Alvarez is a little different. As Queiroz said, Forlan has excellent physical fitness, strong body, moderate height and quick turn around. Close pressing, marking, and quick replacement are his strengths. The judgment is also good.Strong physical endurance and explosive power are there, and he is "overqualified" as a defender. Of course, if Fran himself knows this, he will not be happy.He's a defender, he's just a defender, so what?You've seen no-forward lineups and the weird 901, but you haven't seen a team without a guard in a certain game?

A close press can successfully intercept the ball, why do you have to play some conscious prediction?

After some trials, Ronaldinho finally temporarily passed back to Puyol behind him. Without the football, Fran was no longer as close to him as before, but he still followed him.Ronaldinho was amused by his actions, "Hey, I don't have any balls, why are you still following me?" Forlan still didn't respond, his eyes followed the football to Barcelona's frontcourt, and now it's Real Madrid's attack.

"Technical excellence is fun for technical defense," Ronaldinho said as if talking to himself, and he didn't care whether the opponent responded to him, "They are all praising your talent, and you are now Don't you think it's boring to play like this, don't you think it's a waste of your talent?"

Fran's expression didn't change at all, as if he didn't hear what he said at all. Although Ronaldinho seemed to be complaining, Fran knew in his heart that he was still looking for a way to break through the defense.Although this kind of stalking consumes Ronaldinho's physical strength, this consumption must be a problem of coexistence between the two sides.And in order to be really effective against him, Fran needs to make far more runs than Ronaldinho.Barcelona does not only have Ronaldinho as a midfielder, and Real Madrid does not only have Forlan as a defender. Therefore, when both sides temporarily choose other methods tacitly, these two people become the most attractive off-ball confrontation on the pitch. Group.

And this kind of scene was maintained until the intermission.

Fran, who was already sweating profusely and panting unsteadily, immediately left Ronaldinho's side as the referee blew his whistle. You must know that the task is a task, and the feeling and smell of being so close to a man is not very good. .So when Ronaldinho finally waited until the intermission and expected that he would speak this time, he turned around and found that Forlan had gone far.He followed the team to the player tunnel. Beckham was already very accustomed to rubbing his hair indiscriminately. As a result, he rubbed his hands with sweat, so he wiped his No. 4 jersey that was tightly attached to Fran's body. wipe.Fran completely ignored this guy's provocation. The fact that Real Madrid had the upper hand in the first half made Beckham quite happy, "Fran, what's the matter?"

This question is really good, Beckham saw his teammate who was quite stable in the first half pouted, "That Brazilian always talks to me!" This is not showing off, Beckham can almost Seeing the materialized grievance, he pursed his lips and smiled as if out of breath, and asked with a smile in the middle, "Then you, you just ignore him?"

"Then I'll take care of him, he'll just go over..." Before he finished speaking, Beckham had already laughed.In the case of such a tense and eye-catching match at halftime, the Englishman's unscrupulous smile obviously attracted the camera on the court. Although the two had almost entered the player tunnel, they were still able to film Fran because of Beckham's forced pairing. With his shoulders slumped and his shoulders shrugged, he stared blankly ahead, his whole person showed a 'speechless' emotion.

Back in the locker room, because the jersey stuck to his body was too uncomfortable, Fran finally changed a jersey.He who was so tired was in stark contrast to Casillas who was radiant beside him. The anger that Casillas had been silently growing in his heart dissipated a lot in this way.

But Barcelona will of course have countermeasures.The second half officially started, Barcelona chose to let one person follow Beckham closely, preventing him from receiving the ball and organizing offense.This is not because Beckham's midfielder's smile is different from his usual humble image, which seems too presumptuous and hateful, but because Zidane has Guti to help transfer and adjust, and Beckham is regarded as Real Madrid's center. field dual-core weakness.When Beckham received a pass from Guti but had to pass back to Salgado from the wing because he was blocked again, he followed Ronaldo dutifully in the first half. Nardinho's Fran steps finally revealed a trace of hesitation.He seemed to inadvertently glance at Queiroz on the side of the court, and saw Queiroz standing there and making a gesture of turning his index fingers with both hands to himself.Seeing this, Fran looked back at Pavin, and saw Pavin nodded slightly.

The next time Ronaldinho took the ball into the Real Madrid half, he found that Francisco Alvarez, who had been following him closely before, was gone, and in exchange for another 'Francisco', and The former Fran has returned to his position of dragging the central defender.The most obvious change in this position adjustment is that when Harvey, who was entangled with Beckham, tried to prevent the Englishman from organizing an attack again, a figure was directly inserted between Beckham and Harvey.Fran received a short pass from Beckham and put Harvey on his back. Watching the pressure suddenly eased, Beckham moved forward and quickly passed the ball back to him. Beckham even had time to adjust the football to the most confident touch. From an angle, he raised his big foot and drove the football to the side of the field.Not only did Harvey not have time to react to this sudden change, but the rest of the team also had no time to adapt.The power of Beckham's mid-length pass suddenly appeared, and the precise pass was lightly unloaded by Ronaldo who was waiting at the landing point. His speed suddenly pulled up and left the opponent's defender behind. Such a body shape hides such explosive power and speed , no wonder it has the title of 'alien'.

Ronaldo drove straight in, raised his foot to volley, and under the staring eyes of the Barcelona goalkeeper who jumped up to defend against the block, he retracted his foot and shot towards the outer corner.The Brazilian finally broke the deadlock in 1 minute of the second half!

Harvey looked at the guy in front of him in astonishment, he wanted to ask how and when did you appear here?Beckham and Ronaldinho have completely different styles of play. One is good at passing the ball and cannot get too close when defending; the other is good at breaking through, so he chooses Fran's close press.According to their midfield adjustment arrangement, even if there is one person to protect Beckham, it should be Salgado or Pavon, and it should never be Francisco who is busy falling in love with Ronaldinho. Alvarez.

But the facts are like this. Compared with the man-marking that was specially proposed for this game, Real Madrid has trained this kind of cooperation between Beckham and Forlan since the beginning of the season.Finally, under the confrontation of Barcelona, ​​the curtain opened.
