79 chapter 79

After the national derby, it was the national team training day. La Liga is getting stronger, but the Spanish national team continues to be sluggish. At the club level, one of the main reasons why Real Madrid and Barcelona can stand at the top of world football is that the two clubs are highly internationalized, unlike Serie A in the "Little World Cup" era, Real Madrid and Barcelona do not retain the tradition of local cores, and the two giants have contributed a lot of international players to the national team, but they cannot also "send" the foreign players who occupy the core position in their respective teams to the national team, so it is difficult for the Spanish coach to copy their successful model, which is also the embarrassment of the previous Spanish teams.

In a country that celebrates technology and uses Brazilian football as a role model, flexible strikers have long been a source of competition for clubs. With the rise of a large number of small strikers such as Villa, Messi, Robinho and Aguero, technique, speed and the ability to run without the ball have become the only criteria for selecting striker talents, while other important physical indicators such as height and weight have gradually lost their meaning. The main strikers of Barcelona, Valencia, Villarreal, Zaragoza, Betis and other strong teams are almost all less than 1.80 meters tall. Since Aragonés took office, the tall forwards have been insulated from the national team. Torres is 1.83 meters tall, but he has always taken the technical and speed route of a small forward.

In this comparison, Raul's position in the national team in the past two years has become more and more embarrassing, not only because of age and state problems, but also because he is too tall [manual goodbye]. Raul, who is also partnered by Fanny who is close to 1.9 meters tall, said that the baby is bitter, but the baby is arrogant and doesn't say it. Not to mention that Fran also has a 195-year-old striker in the national team.

Guti's recent performances at Real Madrid have earned him a rare place in the national team's 30-man squad. But Guti is not very interested in this, not that he is not excited to join the national team, but because he also understands that this training camp called him is just an attempt by Aragonés, but this attempt is estimated to be unsatisfactory even in Guti's own opinion.

Guti was called up because of the creativity he showed at Real Madrid, but Real Madrid's routine could not be replicated in Spain. The reason for this is that Aragonés has not been able to establish a style of play with him at its core, and there will not be a person in the Spanish team who can firmly follow his mindset to participate in tactical protection. Since he knew that the good times would not last long, Guti was not too excited.

Watching Francisco Alvarez stumble to Sweden's training camp, the Spaniard expressed his resentment. God knows that this kid should have been a sure Spanish team, if he joined Spain, not to mention the question of how solid the back line would be, even the midfield configuration will make the manager think more. At that time, from goalkeeper Casillas, defender Forlan, midfielder Guti to striker Raul, a central axis is all Castilla-born Red Real Madrid people, how beautiful the scene is.

Well, even Fran himself thinks that the picture is really good.

But so what? Forlan is now in the Swedish team, and in terms of the team alone, the national team is like a second home to him after Real Madrid. The manager trusts him more than he does himself, making him feel like Alexander at times. And the relationship between his teammates is good, after all, he has proven his importance to this team, although there are still two or three people who think he does not understand Swedish because most of the communication is in English.

Come on, he's almost able to understand Danish and Norwegian from Swedish!

However, this time the national team will have to face Iceland and Spain, while Sweden will have to deal with the staff... Zlatan Ibrahimovic was expelled from the national team.

Yes, fired, and the reason for the expulsion was that Fran just wanted to scold this guy for being mentally retarded. As we all know, there will be a curfew time during the training camp of every national team, and this moment will make you return to the age when you seem to be a minor, and you will get the anger of your mother's love, but the surging anger from the head coach. Later, it was not only Ibrahimovic who tried his way for the Swedish team, but three people who went out with Ibrahimovic.

However, in the end, the outcome of the incident was that only Ibrahimovic was expelled from the national team, which was so sad that onlookers couldn't help but wipe tears and sympathize with him. As the saying goes, crying children have milk to eat, and the other two people woke up and apologized for all kinds of tricks after making mistakes, so that Ragbeck took them into his command again. But who is Zlatan Ibrahimovic? It is heaven, earth, and God's will! He deeply thought that Lagerbeck's team rules were too strict, and the result of not apologizing was that Lagerbeck was fired in a fit of rage.

Fran thinks that these two people are tsundere, the 06 World Cup has just ended, and for more than a year, they only have to worry about the qualifiers and have nothing to do with the competition, if the Swedish team without Ibrahimovic can't even qualify for the 08 European Cup qualifiers, then it is estimated that even if it comes to the European Cup, it will be a soy sauce-like role. After a while, when the wind and waves are calm, it is estimated that there is no need for Ibrahimovic to be convinced, and he will quietly appear in the national team squad again. Not to mention that Ibrahimovic has just moved from Juventus to Inter Milan this season (yes, again), so there's nothing wrong with giving him more time and energy to integrate into the club.

But it doesn't help to say more, the friendly against Spain came very quickly. The players who can be selected by the Spanish national team are bound to be outstanding, and according to Aragonés' preference for playing for homegrown players, most of them are opponents or teammates that Forlan is very familiar with. During the pre-match analysis of the Swedish team, Lagerbeck explained while looking at Forlan's expression to predict whether his abacus would be good, but Forlan kept a confused smile throughout the whole process, I don't know if it was the pride in the cleverness of his head coach or the so-called romance that everyone was drunk and I was sober.

However, after that, there was no need to look for Lagerbeck, and Forlan himself took the initiative to enter the manager's office. Although many times the players say that when they enter the national team, they put aside the emotions of the club, whether it is personal friendship or personal grudges, the national team is the biggest during the national team. But after all, it was not so easy to execute, and Fran knew that Lagerbeck could not be particularly straightforward and let him directly leak out all his information about the Spaniards, but he still knew what he could and could not say.

"I really haven't studied Jose Gutierrez specifically," Lagerbeck said, pointing to Guti's brilliant performance in Real Madrid this season, thinking that this is also a rising star, and he is starting to shine suddenly in his thirties. Fran looked at the footage pointed out by Ragbeck, hesitated for a long time and pulled him out, scratching on the computer, "I think Jose's words, you can see his highest performance last season may feel a little more intuitive." As he spoke, he pulled up what he said was a video of Real Madrid from last season.

The two feelings that Guti gave to Lagbeck in the video are ethereal and weird, the erratic passing is unexpected, maybe a good opportunity will be wasted by him, and a seemingly useless ball suddenly kills. The Real Madrid vice-team has a shining talent in him, but it has to be said that this is not the type of player that Lagerbeck likes. Because of his instability, there was a loud bang on the pitch, and you don't know if he caused a brilliant fireworks or a self-destructing explosion. As a fan, you can love and hate him, but it's hard for a manager who wants to at least keep his team out of control.

Lagerbeck also understands why Forlan made him watch this game in particular, compared to the past two seasons, Guti's current success rate and consistency have greatly improved, but this is not the reason why Guti suddenly changed his style of play, but the reason why someone cooperated in order to adapt to him, and the fit was extremely high.

Fran shrugged his shoulders and looked very innocent, "I've known him since I entered the academy, and it's been more than ten years, and if you can't match anyone, you won't have a conflict with him." But it's not in the Spanish national team, Jose has always been on the verge of the national team, and this sudden addition will feel strange even to him, let alone make people cooperate with him. Lagbeck acquiesced to his claim.

After all, the friendly match was not very formal, and the two teams in the players' tunnel were scattered and had not yet lined up, and Ljungberg had just walked down the steps to see Forlan surrounded by several Spaniard□□s. That's really □□, his defender was rubbed by the Spanish captain like he was angry, at first it may be purely to say that the relationship is good, but then Fran's hair feels so good that he can't help but rub it again, rub it again...

Hey, my defender has never been so cute in the national team, haven't you seen the confused look of his teammates around him, he is defined by most people in the national team as a boss-level figure acting in front of the stage, don't you see that Zlatan Ibrahimovich guy is also like a supple big cat?(Although the big cat himself thinks this is the little brother who needs to be covered by him.) )

Thinking like this, Ljungberg raised his hand and grabbed Fran by the collar and walked towards his own team, Guti was there to tsk, according to how these two usually get along, Fran should have given him a little bit mercilessly, but Guti got a hehehe. The golden wolf himself suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

And when throughout the game, Forlan destroyed the attack from the opponent's strikers again and again, and it was rare that Forlan also actively stepped forward to intercept the opponent's half in the national team, and repeatedly jammed the passes that the Spanish side didn't even expect -

Many Spaniards who have always regarded Francisco Alvarez as a 'well-established Spanish player' who has been nurtured in Spain, played for Spanish teams, and has Spanish friends everywhere suddenly realized.

Oh, it turns out that guy plays for the Swedish team, and there is such a big problem. 166 Reading Network
