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

The newcomer Beckham and Ronaldo, Zidane, and Figo really can't be said to be unknowing, and even because they have dealt with each other in many ways, these people seem to get along well before the first meeting of the new team.

Claude Makelele is gone, Hierro is gone, Carlos and Salgado are getting older, and the wings that dominate football are aging but facing a decline that no one can defend against. Bravo is very good, but he can only be the Brazilian substitute in a position that completely overlaps with Carlos. Florentino's policy of Real Madrid, which is the 'Zidane Pavon' policy, brings in superstars in the midfield and does not bring in too many defensive players in the short term, instead allowing his young players to experience growth. And the academy defender Pavon, who entered the first team of Real Madrid more than two years earlier than Fran, was only less than a year older than Fran, and he was also one of the top defensive talents in the academy at that time, coincidentally, this 'Pavon' was also a 'Francisco'.

Francisco Pavon, in the 0001 season, when Casillas was in a slump and the defense was extremely unstable, was promoted by Bosque from the reserve team as a talented defender, not because of Forlan, the captain at the time, according to Bosque, Pavon was older and more experienced, and he was more stable.

At that time, it was the old Al who was persuaded by his stubborn son not to force him to transfer, and Forlan sat in front of the TV like an addict every day and repeated Real Madrid's fiascos over and over again, looking for the backline that other teams saw as loopholes, and also looking for the reasons for the failure of cooperation. During that time, he remembered every mistake of Casillas's low-level saves vividly, and even if he put so many sets of pictures of Cassie in front of Forlan's eyes, he was able to point out and tell you that this was the first goal of the game scored by which striker against Real Madrid, and if he was in a good mood, he would tell you that the ball was poked in the first few minutes.

He looked very calm, Castilla's record during that period was particularly good, and many Meilinger who cared about their own youth training couldn't help but sigh, if these youngsters were put on the Bernabeu, they wouldn't lose like this, right? Of course, this is also a joke, but there is no need for the coach to remind Forlan to guard against arrogance and rashness, this guy is another clean tackle, the ball is left, and the person is down, but it is a matter of inertia, he is not kicking at the body at all.

He looked calm, but he knew he was not far off from being promoted to the first team.

But while waiting, he decided to print out the pictures of the saves that he deliberately intercepted and bring them to Cassie, in disguise to stimulate his good friends to work hard, which can be regarded as a joy in suffering.

The next day, when he packed the picture in his backpack and rode his bike to the academy, it was rare that it was not too early, and by the time he walked into the dressing room, most of his team-mates had already arrived, gathering together and muttering something. Fran didn't have any idea that he was isolated, but just looked around and found that the other 'Francisco' was missing, and asked a little puzzled, "Where did Sisco go?" ”

The two 'Francisco' were called 'Fran' and the other was 'Sisko', and of course they knew who he was referring to, but because of that they were a little bit distracted. Forlan is because his home is not far from the academy, so he goes home every day, and most of his teammates live in the academy, of course, he got it earlier than him, which is not worth mentioning to the outside world, but these young players are like a bolt from the blue.

“… It is said that Coach Bosque promoted Sisko to the first team. ”

It wasn't until later, when Fran counted the few times that even he wanted to give himself a thumbs up, that there was a moment, after a moment, he calmly responded with an 'oh', as if he had known it for a long time, but suddenly remembered it.

Mr. Zack, who was still training as usual that day, deliberately dedicated more than half of his energy to focus on his squad leader, was simply heartbroken, unlike Pavon's style of play, although he was also a defender, Fran always seemed a little out of the table. Although if you compare the success rate of defense, it was because Fran was better that he was promoted to captain at the beginning, but Pavon, the same guard genius, played cleanly and was known as an excellent defensive awareness, as for Fran, he also played cleanly, but the first thing he mentioned was not the 'defensive awareness' that he would not lose, but a ruthlessness.

He doesn't really kick you hard, it's just that the tackles, breaks, and small movements in the position will always make people run away after a round and suddenly feel a chill in their backs.

Coach Zach was afraid that the anger in Fran's heart would suddenly explode, and it would be bad if he hurt his own young players. It's just that he is worried in vain, Fran's appearance on the court is the same as usual, although his expression is a little monotonous, but he is often like this on the court, and he can't see anything strange.

During the lunch break, Fran found a rather hidden place by himself, and looked up at the sky with a bread stick in his mouth, either to eat, or to find something to do in his mouth. It wasn't long before there was a sound of heavy footsteps, and Fran looked back with a half-squinted eye and saw his somewhat 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 he didn't expect Zach to sit next to him. Zach looked at the guy with a loaf in his mouth and looked out of condition, thinking of the disciple who was judged to be 'uncertain' and not chosen to be pampered by himself, and glared at him with a little hatred. Fran was a little wronged, he was already so pitiful, not only did he not comfort himself, but he also glared at himself like this, and he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong until now, and Coach Bosque also said that he had a chance, which means that even if he can't be completely guaranteed to take him to the first team, how can he be considered? As a result, it seems that even if he considers the object, he loses? Fran deliberately pouted and took out a bread stick from the bag next to him and handed it to Zack, Zach thought that Fran would be deeply hit this time, but now he seemed to be pretending to cry, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

A sigh of relief is a sigh of relief, but after taking the breadstick, the big and the small are a little dazed and look up at the blue sky in a daze.

Thunderous training, one of the best defensive success rates, a physique that rarely gets injured, and a personality that doesn't cause trouble, how can you not be favored even so?

"I'm not surprised why Sisko." After a while, Fran muttered a little, "I'm just weird, why isn't it me?" ”

Francisco Álvarez, there is nothing dazed in his question, it is really a complete doubt. Why not him? is also a defender, he is the captain of Castilla, the team's results have always been firmly in the top spot, even if you just look at the success rate of individual defense, Forlan dares to guarantee that he will not lose to Pavon and can even be said to be slightly higher than him, besides, he has a good relationship with Igor Casillas, and he has long been skilled in cooperating with each other, why did he choose Pavon?

[I'm just wondering, why isn't it me?] Whoever says this sentence will make Zach feel a little arrogant, but at this moment, Fran said this situation, which made the coach a little distressed. Zach pursed his lips and lowered his head to look into the distance without a goal, trying to find a reason to prove Pavon's advantage as much as possible, "You didn't participate in the European Youth Championship in Spain. ”

"..."This topic made Fran's face look unpleasant for a moment, "Am I not injured?" ”

It really happened to be injured, and then Pavon was selected in the Under-21 squad, and Forlan was not injured much, and even rarely injured, and it was that one time that made him remember not only the pain, but also a large frustration.

"And after that?" Zach asked, and Fran thought the coach was here to light the fire, knowing it all, "After that?" After that, the national team didn't let in any new defenders! As he spoke, he asked angrily, "Just because he participated in the European Youth Championships!" ”

Zach thought, 'Hey, that's a good statement,' so he nodded desperately, "Isn't it, people have participated in the European Youth Championship and have major tournament experience, the Bernabeu is a big scene, and Sisko has more experience." Fran choked, "Who the hell are you targeting?" ”

Zach rolled his eyes, what did you make him say? Even if it's biased towards you, you and I know it.

But it's good to say that, Zach looked at Fran in a relatively calm mood, at least complaining or something, it didn't seem to have as much impact as he imagined, and he was also twenty years old, and there was no need to continue to hide many things from him as if he was a child.

"Sisko has a good sense of defense," Zach mumbled, but Fran thought we would have a good match if you wanted to, "I don't think I'm going to lose to him in position, and I'm not going to be a fan of blood on the court." ”

Zach thinks he's right, but he's right, "Don't you think sometimes you're a little too hard as a rookie defender?" Although he has more or less said this question before, it seems that Forlan has never taken it to heart, let alone his idol is Baresi, which famous defender in Italy can play football without being ruthless? Forlan was unconvinced, "I'm a central defender, there's a goalkeeper behind me, can I still turn around gorgeously and let people pass?" Isn't it okay to have a high success rate in defense, isn't this putting the cart before the horse! ”

Hearing his natural meaning, Zach was angry, "How is Maldini an elegant defensive master?" Isn't your idol Baresi? Baresi will also step forward to assist, you can insert one for me to see! ”

"Maldini isn't good-looking, and I'm not ugly!" quickly debunked the topic, "If you can't get forward and assist, you can't play guard well?" Isn't it putting the cart before the horse? ”

"Sisko scored a goal two months ago, can you? Have you scored a goal since you played a game? Even if it's blind, have you ever scored? You can put a ball in me and I'll send you to the first team in the blink of an eye. ”

"If you can't score, you can't play as a defender? Is it putting the cart before the horse, I just ask you? ”

"It's not that you can't play as a defender, just that you play style..."

"If you want to assist more midfielders, if you want to score more strikers, it's okay to have assists and goals with a defender, how big is your face, coach, is it putting the cart before the horse?"

"Fuck off!"

Fran was scolded by this sentence and spat a little disgusted, got up and planned to go back to the locker room to destroy all the photos of the group that was going to laugh at Cassie, Zach saw him turn his head and ran away and thought something was wrong, but he didn't expect that it was not the squad leader's tears that came to the wind, but a presumptuous laugh mixed with shouting, "Coach, I learned to put the cart before the horse!" ”

....... "Fran, you're back!" Come back soon! Those don't have to learn, really! I'll just have one more striker midfielder, and you just take care of your goalkeeper! ”

He looked very calm.

Lost, disappointed, and failed, and the number of times I have accumulated a lot of small games is probably not worth mentioning.
