Ramos, Marcelo, Carvalho and Pepe sat in a circle on the ground with serious expressions in the locker room—of course, it was mainly Ramos and Marcelo who looked serious, and Carvalho just watched the fun , Participate in the role, while Pepe is expressionless.

Ramos and Marcelo looked at each other and waited for a few seconds.

"Say!" - after a few seconds, the two said in unison.

After all, Carvalho is a newcomer to Real Madrid, so when this kind of thing happened, although he was present here, he didn't intend to speak-after all, no one has asked him anything yet.Pepe obviously felt that what Marcelo and the others wanted to say was not worth discussing, so in order to show his attitude, he began to lower his head and button his phone.

Marcelo and Ramos looked at each other again. Although they realized that Pepe felt that "this matter" was okay, they still had to force a few words for their happy life.

At this time, Ramos showed his boldness and courage as the captain in the future-although he lacked such boldness in front of Cristiano, when he faced Cristiano's Portuguese compatriots, when he was determined to count on Cristiano's Portuguese His heart was filled with courage when his countrymen helped him persuade the terrible Cristiano.

But Pepe despised his cheap courage, really.

"I think Cristiano has been poisoned by Mr. Mourinho." Ramos mustered up the courage to say this to two of Cristiano's Portuguese compatriots on the opposite side-Pepe showed a shocked expression, and he couldn't help it. Looking at his phone, he didn't even know what to say or what to say.

Ramos continued his little speech, "Cristiano actually pulled me and Marcelo to practice defense," - he glanced at Marcelo as he spoke, and Marcelo immediately nodded heavily, expressing that He was also very shocked by this-"It's terrible, I can't imagine it. Seriously, I think our offense is also an important part of Real Madrid's offense. I never thought that Cristiano didn't pay attention to this. .”

When Ramos said this, he really meant to burst into tears—Pepe was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a brazen person in his barren life experience.

Marcelo glanced at Pepe, and when he noticed the surprise of the other party, he said quickly: "We know that Cristiano wants the team to be better, but we are involved in the attack - I mean, it is Real Madrid's role for the defender to participate in the attack. Traditional, so it is normal for us to participate in the offense, which really does not need to be "corrected". "

Carvalho and Pepe glanced at each other, sneering in their hearts at the same time: You are just afraid of Cristiano and dare not push him, but you can't bear your shocking heart.In the final analysis, you just think that we are easy to bully and will definitely help.

But for the sake of team harmony and world peace, they still didn't say this sentence - but even if they didn't say it, their expressions still gave away the secret.

"I know you all think we should focus on defense," Ramos said sincerely, "but we can't break tradition. My friends, if Real Madrid loses its tradition, is it still the Real Madrid that the fans love?"

Fans don't love this tradition, fans love victory - Pepe has no words to say, and can only scratch his head to express his helplessness.

And since Pepe doesn't say anything, Carvalho certainly doesn't need to force him—after all, on the one hand, his relationship with Cristiano is not as close as Pepe's, so it's embarrassing and inappropriate to talk about Cristiano's behavior. On the one hand, he is a newcomer, and he doesn't want to force what is "Real Madrid's tradition".

And to be honest, Carvalho thinks that the "tradition" of Real Madrid sounds pretty rough.

Pepe glanced at Carvalho, and after noticing his mental activity, couldn't help but sighed again.

——"Are you really going to pull Sergio and Marcelo to practice defense?" Pepe asked Cristiano like this two days ago.

Cristiano had just finished training and took a shower, and was tossing his earrings - but when he heard Pepe's question, he stopped what he was doing and turned his head to be serious Looking at Pepe, "Do you think I'm doing something wrong?"

Cristiano asked directly, but Pepe already knew Cristiano enough, so he was not afraid-he knew that Cristiano really wanted an answer, not a precursor to losing his temper, "I don't You know, I just don’t think Sergio or the others like it — I’m not saying they’re not good players, they can’t do their jobs, I just think they have habits that are hard to force.”

Pepe expressed his objections to this matter as tactfully as possible-he has obviously become accustomed to the fact that Real Madrid's defenders attack and is determined to compromise.

Cristiano hated iron but steel, but he seemed to realize that this matter was not very serious, so he calmly looked in the mirror and started tossing the earrings.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem," Cristiano said at the time. "I know what you're worried about, but it's not a big problem—there's no knot or habit that victory can't change.”

Pepe raised his eyebrows, he was obviously not convinced.

Cristiano looked at him through the mirror, "I know you're worried that they're going to...well, just...you know, they're going to think about me. But I know Sergio them, we all know them, they'll understand I mean -- and I told them, I told them, I don't disagree with anything, I just wish we could do better."

Pepe hesitated. "I'm afraid they think they don't need to adjust."

"We all have to submit to the coach's tactics," Cristiano frowned. "He needs us to defend, so we have to do it."

Pepe froze for a moment, "I didn't expect, Cristiano, I didn't expect-I thought you were just... you know, Mr. Coach, I thought you also liked to attack. The team's sense of responsibility will help the defense in the game. I think you still don't like Mr. Mourinho's defense in the final analysis."

Cristiano shrugged at the time, "I can't say I like it very much, but I can accept it in general - and to be honest, even if it is not Mourinho's standard, the attack of Sergio and Marcelo is very important. That's too much for a defender. So, even if it wasn't Mr Mourinho who was here today, I would probably remind them that."

Pepe frowned, "But it sounds like..."—he might want to continue, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still felt that Cristiano had made up his mind, and he couldn't persuade him to say anything.

Cristiano didn't say anything at the time.

——"Didn't you talk to Cristiano directly?" Pepe simply asked Ramos and them like this.

Ramos nodded, but immediately, he shook his head again, "We hinted, but Cristiano explained to us, he said he just wanted to beat Barcelona or something - I think he made a lot of sense , but I think this matter...I can't say it, I just think it's still...uh, I think our approach makes sense."

Pepe sighed again.

"So you want me to help you talk to Cristiano?" Pepe asked.

Carvalho looked at Pepe, then at Ramos and Marcelo, but remained silent.

Ramos nodded, "To be honest, I really don't think I'm a defender at all-you know, when Mr. Florentino bought me to Real Madrid, it was because he saw me score a goal. Very nice header."

Pepe gave him a cold look.

Ramos immediately changed his words, "Part of it is because of this, and there may be other reasons, but considering that Mr. Florentino has mentioned this matter to me several times, I think this is an important reason-but There must be something else."

Pepe rolled her eyes silently in her heart.

"But all in all," Ramos emphasized, "I still think that Marcelo and I need to be involved in the defense. Players of our price should not be isolated from a certain area of ​​​​the pitch."

——This sentence sounds very familiar.

When Cristiano stood outside the locker room and heard this, he touched his chin and thought like this-he seemed to have heard Ramos express "we are very expensive players", "attack is expensive", "Defense is just a bonus."

——"So, Pepe," Marcelo followed, "I have the same opinion. I think players like us should not just do one thing. We must be versatile."

Cristiano suddenly realized.

He used to think that the two of them like to rush into each other's penalty area because of their nature, but now he knows that the fundamental reason why they both value each other's penalty area is actually because defense is not important to Real Madrid-Real Madrid does not need to defend to win, Real Madrid You just need to score one more than your opponent.

Because in the final analysis, Real Madrid is an expensive team, an expensive team cannot defend, and an expensive team must focus on offense.This is the sacred mission gifted to Real Madrid.

Cristiano snorted thinking of this, pushed the door open and went straight in.

He was determined to educate the two fellows well.
