[Football] I'm just a defender

Real Madrid's first team, the first gathering of big-name superstars before the new season, arrived very calmly.

It cannot be said that the newcomer Beckham does not know Ronaldo, Zidane, and Figo. Even because they have dealt with each other in many ways, these people got along well before the first meeting of the new team. It is harmonious.

Makelele is gone, Hierro is gone, Carlos and Salgado are a little bit older, and the two-wing tactics that dominate football are getting old but facing the decline of no one to defend.Bravo performed very well, but his position completely overlaps with that of Carlos, and he can only be a substitute for the Brazilian.The Real Madrid policy that Florentino has always claimed to the outside world, that is, the 'Zidane Pavon' policy, introduces superstars in the midfield and will not introduce too many defensive players in the short term. Instead, let their young players experience growth .And the youth defender Pavon, who entered the first team of Real Madrid more than two years earlier than Forlan, was also one of the best guard geniuses in the youth academy at that time. Coincidentally, , this 'Pavon' is also a 'Francisco'.

Francisco Pavon, in the 0001 season, that is, when Casillas was in a downturn and the defense was extremely unstable, the talented defender who was exceptionally promoted from the reserve team by Bosque was not the reason why Forlan was the captain at the time. According to Bosque means that Pavon is older and more experienced, and his state is more stable.

At that time, Old Al was persuaded by his stubborn son not to force him to transfer. Fran sat in front of the TV like an addict every day, playing Real Madrid's fiascos over and over again, looking for Those defensive lines that are regarded as loopholes by other teams are also looking for reasons for the failure of cooperation one by one.During that time, he clearly remembered Casillas's low-level saves for every mistake. Even if he put so many photos of Cassie in front of Fran, he could point them out and tell you that this is Real Madrid vs. Which team's forward scored the first goal of the field, and if he is interested, he will also tell you that the ball was stabbed in the first few minutes.

He looked very calm. Castilla's record during that time was particularly outstanding. Many Meilingers who cared about their youth training couldn't help but sigh. If these young people were put on the Bernabeu, they wouldn't lose like this. ?This is of course a joke, but there is no need for the coach to remind Fran to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. This guy made another clean shovel. The ball was left behind, and the man fell down, but it was a matter of inertia. He was not aimed at his body at all. to kick.

He looks very calm, but he knows that he is not far away from being promoted to the first team.

But in the process of waiting, he decided to print out those rescue pictures that he specially cut off and bring them in front of Cassie, in disguise to stimulate his good friend to work hard, which can be regarded as a pleasure in bitterness.

The next day, when he packed the pictures in his backpack and rode his bicycle to the youth training camp, it was not too early. When he walked into the locker room, most of his teammates had already arrived, muttering together.Fran didn't have the idea that he was isolated, but looked around for a week and found that another 'Francisco' was missing, and asked a little puzzled, "Where did Sisko go?"

In order to distinguish between the two 'Francisco', one is called 'Fran' and the other is called 'Sisko'. Of course, these people know who he is referring to, but because of this, they hesitated a bit.Because Fran's family is not far from the youth training camp, he lives at home every day, but most of his teammates live in the youth training camp. Of course, he got it earlier than him, and it is not good for the outside world. It is worth mentioning that the first-hand intelligence of these young players is like a bolt from the blue.

"...It is said that Coach Bosque promoted Sisko to the first team."

Until later, when Fran counted the few times when even he wanted to give himself a thumbs up, there was this moment, after he was stunned, he responded calmly with an 'oh', It's as if he knew about it a long time ago, but just suddenly remembered it.

That day was still training as usual, and Mr. Zach, who dedicated more than half of his energy to focus on his team leader, was simply worried. He played differently from Pavon. Although he was also a defender, Fran always seemed a bit out of place.Although if we compare the defensive success rate, it was because Fran was better that he was promoted to the captain at the beginning, but Pavon, the same defender genius, played cleanly and was known as having excellent defensive awareness. As for Fran Lan also played cleanly, but the first thing people mentioned about him was not his "defensive awareness" that he would never lose, but his vigor.

He doesn't really kick you hard, it's just that the tackles, steals, blocks and other small moves will always make people run away after a round, and suddenly feel chills on the back.

Coach Zach was afraid that the anger suppressed in Fran's heart would burst out suddenly, and it would be bad if he hurt his young players.He was simply worried for nothing. Fran's performance on the court was the same as usual. Although his expression was tense and monotonous, he often looked like this on the court, and there was nothing strange about it.

During the noon break, Fran found a rather secluded place by himself, looked up at the sky with a breadstick in his mouth, and looked up at the sky, either to eat, or to find something to do with his mouth.As a result, it didn't take long before there was a sound of heavy footsteps. Fran squinted one eye and looked back, and saw his fat coach running over, still a little out of breath.

Fran thought he was here to ask him to return to the team so early, but Zach sat down next to him.Zach looked at this guy with a breadstick in his mouth and looked out of order, and thought of the disciple who was judged as 'unsteady' and was not selected, and he loved him on the tip of his heart. He glanced.Fran was a little wronged, he was already so pitiful, not only did he not comfort himself, but he gave himself a look like this, and he still doesn't feel that he did anything wrong, obviously Coach Bosque also said that he has a chance , that is to say, even if it is not completely guaranteed to take him to the first team, how can he be considered as an object?In the end, it seemed that even if he was considered as an object, he would still lose?Fran deliberately pursed his mouth and took out another breadstick from the bag beside him and handed it to Zach. Zach thought that Fran would be deeply hit this time, but now he seems to be pretending to cry Thought, he took a breath of relief.

A breath of relief was a breath of relief, but after taking the bread sticks, both the older and the younger looked up at the blue sky in a daze.

Unshakable training, one of the best defensive success rates, a physique with few injuries, and a personality that doesn't cause trouble, why can't he be favored even so?

"I'm not surprised why it's Sisko." After a while, Fran murmured, "I'm just surprised, why isn't it me?"

Francisco Alvarez, what he asked was not in a daze, but in complete doubt.Why not him?As a defender, he is the captain of Castilla. The team's performance has always occupied the top spot. Even if you just look at the personal defensive success rate, Fran can guarantee that he will not lose to Pavon, and it can even be said that he is better than him. A little higher, besides, he has a good relationship with Igor Casillas and has long been proficient in cooperating with each other. Why did he choose Pavon?

[I'm just wondering, why isn't it me? ] Whoever said this sentence would make Zach feel a little arrogant, but at this moment, Fran said it in this situation, but it made the coach feel a little distressed.Zach pursed his lips, lowered his head and looked aimlessly into the distance, trying to find reasons to prove Pavon's advantage, "You didn't participate in the Spanish European Youth Championship back then, right?"

"..." This topic made Fran look unhappy, "Didn't I get hurt?"

It really happened to be injured, and then Pavon was selected into the U21 squad. Fran was not injured very much, and it can even be said that he was rarely injured. It was just that one time. What he remembered was not only the pain, but also the big movie of frustration.

"After that?" Zach asked. Fran felt that the coach came here to light the fire. He knew everything about it. "After that? After that, the national team didn't let new defenders in!" He asked angrily, "Just because he participated in the European Youth Championship!"

Zach thought, "Hey, that's a good statement," so he nodded desperately, "Isn't that right, he has participated in the European Youth Championship and has experience in major competitions. The Bernabeu is a big scene, and Sisco has more experience." Fran choked. , "Who are you aiming at?"

Zach rolled his eyes, what do you ask him to say?Even if it's biased towards you, you and I know it well.

But it’s good to talk about it. Zach looked at Fran in a relatively calm mood. At least the complaints were not wrong. It didn’t seem to have as much influence as he imagined. He is also a 20-year-old man, and there is no need to continue many things. Hidden from him like he was a child.

"Sisko's defensive awareness is very good..." Zach said vaguely, but Fran thinks that if you want to compare, then we can compare, "I don't think I will lose to him when I stand in a position, and I am on the court. It’s not like you don’t lose your mind once you’re excited.”

Zach thinks what he said is quite right, but he is right, "Don't you think, as a rookie defender, sometimes you play a little too hard?" Although he has said this more or less before Question, but it seems that Forlan has never taken it to heart, let alone his idol is Baresi, which famous Italian defender can play football without being ruthless?Fran refused to accept it, "I'm a central defender, and the goalkeeper is behind me. I can turn around and let people pass by me? Isn't it enough to have a high defensive success rate? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse!"

Hearing what he meant for granted, Zach became annoyed, "Why is Maldini an elegant defensive master? Isn't your idol Baresi? Baresi also advances forward to assist, but you should advance one to show me." look!"

"Isn't Maldini good-looking, and I'm not ugly!" quickly exposed the topic, "If you can't go forward and assist, you can't play a good defender? Isn't it putting the cart before the horse?"

"Sisko scored a goal two months ago, can you do it? You tell me since you played the game, have you scored a goal? Even if you go in blindly, have you scored a goal? Can you give I get a goal and I send you to the first team in a blink of an eye."

"If you can't score goals, you can't play a good defender? Is it the cart before the horse, so I ask you?"

"It's not about you not being able to play a good defender, it's just about your playing style..."

"If you want assists, you need to play more midfielders. If you want to score goals, you need more forwards. If you have nothing to do with a defender, you need assists and goals. How shameless you are, coach, are you putting the cart before the horse?"

"Fuck you, put the cart before the horse!"

Fran was scolded by this sentence and spit and felt disgusted. He got up and planned to go back to the locker room to destroy all the photos that were going to laugh at Cassie. Zach thought something was wrong when he turned his head and ran away. It wasn't the team leader's tears, but a shout mixed with wanton laughter, "Coach, I've learned to put the cart before the horse!"

... "Fran, come back! Come back quickly! You don't need to learn those, really! I'll play an extra striker and midfielder, and just take care of your goalkeeper!"

He looked very calm.

Disappointment, disappointment, failure, and the accumulation of small fights are too many times, so it is probably not worth mentioning.
