After the game, Raul looked at Fran, who was sweating profusely, and the surprise in his eyes was more obvious than surprise.

He kind of watched this kid come step by step, when he was first promoted to the first team, he was the lowest in terms of seniority in the big-name Real Madrid, he was sometimes hot and overly active, sometimes groggy and tiptoeing, people would praise him when he defended successfully, and other than that, onlookers would always point fingers at him for his 'alternative'.

It's not like many people are jealous of what they say, "his success is a matter of course", only he, those of them who really come into contact with Fran, understand how much pressure he has withstood to get to where he is now, no matter how indifferent he is on the surface.

Raul has been thinking about whether he will retire after two or three years at Real Madrid or play in another league. To tell the truth, the one who knows his state the most is himself, and he actually understands that if there is no obvious recovery in his form, then next season must be a sure substitute. With so many years of merit alone, he is confident that no one will refuse to stay.

But why bother, why put yourself so low? He's Raul Gonzalez, he's such a proud person.

Looking at Forlan, who was accustomed to lowering his attitude to the dust in front of Real Madrid, Raul found himself suddenly thinking clearly about what choice he would make. After all, they are two completely different people, and they value them completely differently.

Thinking about it, he relaxed.

Thinking about it, he was also a little lost.

After that game, all the media began to slap themselves in the face desperately, and a few days after questioning Fran's ability, they touted Fran to the sky.

"He's a back-to-tradition miracle in modern football"

At a time when modern football is becoming more and more about teamwork, and the brilliance of superstars is no longer just about their individual abilities, we have to tacitly assume that this trend may be imperative.

However, just when we have grudgingly accepted this situation, which is not sure whether it is forward or backward, Francisco Álvarez appears. I'm not saying he doesn't work as a team, I'm just saying he's back to being a good defender.

We all have a question, when we go back to 20 years ago or even earlier, when the stars could not rely on new media to disseminate, and the function of print media was not as huge as ten years ago, where Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Messi, these superstars who were famous in Europe at a young age can still reach today's glory?

Or is it possible for Cristiano Ronaldo to bring Sporting Lisbon back to glory like the Panthers led Benfica to the Champions League?

But as we have always agreed, Pele, Maradona, Di Stefano and others will only gain more fame if they come to today's football.

And now I am sure that even in today's rapid development of the media, Francisco Alvarez, the kid who got out of Real Madrid's academy, will definitely be able to reach the heights he has now.

"Is he still 'just' dragging a central defender"

As for Forlan's position, there have not been too many people discussing it in the past two years, because it seems that there is a consensus that 'this man is a lagging central defender'.

But the author will also consider from time to time, from the very beginning of Queiroz, Capello who led Real Madrid to win the league title again, to the current Pellegrini, these coaches really only position Forlan simply, because he is the last position to judge the 'dragging central defender'?

For the above three coaching periods, I deliberately called up a few of Fran's flashing battles over the past few seasons.

Fran was still very young at Queiroz, he couldn't figure out his own path, and coach Queiroz was not really an experienced manager. It's as if Queiroz was the first to discover Forlan's potential, but □□ young players are really not what he is good at, so he can only draw a big pie for Forlan to look forward to, and then try little by little. Queiroz may want Fran to start following the path of a scavenger, but he wants to mix in the rest of the essence. I believe this may be the reason why Queiroz has been relentless in his desire to bring Forlan to Old Trafford in the two years since he first returned to Manchester United.

The Capello period is actually the most interesting in terms of Fran's competitive career so far. When those of us on the sidelines thought that the iron-fisted Capello would not reuse the kid who seemed to be forever out of tune, it was Fran and this guy who received the most praise and guidance from Capello in those two years. The Italian put another possibility in front of us directly when we thought 'Forlan is probably only capable of this', and he could not only be a scavenger, but he could also support the team's attack without delaying the defense.

His perfect combination with Guti not only propelled Guti to the best midfield position in La Liga that year, but also expanded the development of Forlan's ball path. When we all think that his role for Real Madrid is to guard the goalkeeper and keep dangerous scavengers out, we even think that if he really has a little bit of goalscoring skills, he could even be a free man like Beckenbauer and Summer.

Now that it's Manuel Pellegrini, in fact, as far as Forlan is concerned, he doesn't need to just follow the coach's instructions anymore because he already has his own way.

So, do you simply think he's just a central defender?

Carvajal has been discussing the future with Raul recently, but it turns out that inexplicably because another guy under him is doing well, and the arrival of young people such as Rocca will only stimulate his fighting spirit, but Carvajal doesn't understand why Raul suddenly saw it.

But looking at Raul's tired appearance in Real Madrid in the past two years, Mr. Agent, who accompanied the Prince of Real Madrid when he was young, thought, maybe really, he is not a bad choice. He wants to open up, no longer put so much pressure on himself, and be able to play more comfortably.

So Carvajal came to Fran's house with all the praise of the newspapers, and the guy seemed to have just finished his bath and was drenched. He beckoned Carvajal to sit casually, unlike those who didn't know, this golden bachelor's family had obviously taken a leave of absence from part-time work recently, but it was still neat and clean. Carvajal thought that it was really bad to be single for a long time, and he didn't even have a thought now, not enjoying living alone at all, but getting used to living alone.

"I'll let you stay, and I'll do my best to let you stay. Carvajal handed the newspaper to Fran, who could guess what he was talking about with a simple flip through it. He smiled, but not as happily or sincerely, only when Carvajal said he would give his full support to stay at Real Madrid.

"Speaking of which, today is Aaron's birthday, I have to go to his bar in a while, and I have to help him decorate the store if it is not open today, I must be a good European brother. Fran silently complained about his brother's itinerary by the way, and Carvajal promised to be very cheerful, wishing that this guy could find a woman at the party, even if it was greedy for his identity... Forget it, this greedy woman still forget it.

Fran felt that the big man in the Spanish circle with a cold face a few years ago seemed to have softened his temper, although he knew that it was just an illusion when he watched Igor's continuous news of big and small troubles.

So in this pair, the player thinks that the agent is a good person with a soft face and a warm heart as he gets older, and the agent thinks that the player is a big fool who needs to take care of himself for ten years→_→.

Let's jump straight into Aaron's bar, which had already been told to regular customers and a few waiters that it would not be open today, but it was a little deserted before the party officially began. But when Fran, who was dressed in sportswear and pressed the Real Madrid hat very low, he thought that all the waiters were on vacation, but he didn't expect Aaron to leave two people, all of whom were girls, and one of them seemed a little familiar.

Fran suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Aaron, who saw his little friend coming, immediately came over and hooked Fran's shoulder, and the next second it was as Fran expected, "Come brother, I'll introduce two beauties to you." ”

When they came to Aaron's bar and had a good relationship with Aaron, Fran automatically classified them as Real Madrid fans. Among the two people, Aaron highlighted the beauty with many characteristics, blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin, and a pair of long legs under the short skirt of the fire, it seems that Aaron did not say who the person was before, she was obviously a little surprised because she recognized Fran's identity, and then she was overflowing with joy, and even immediately turned around to find an autograph.

Aaron was dumbfounded when she saw this scene, this girl probably thought that she was just trying to introduce her to an idol?oc Why is Fran's fan painting style so strange.

However, the Asian woman next to her, who made Fran feel a little familiar, laughed naturally after meeting the slight stunned, "So on the day of the match against the Spaniards, you also rushed from Madrid on purpose?"

Fran then realized where he had seen her, and in the face of Aaron's hint of wincing eyebrows, he said seriously, "Yes, I will go to every Real Madrid game, even the cross-country cup match." "Then I'm a little ashamed, it was the first game I went to the non-Bernabeu stadium to watch - my name is Ji Yi, just call me Zee." ”

The woman looked young in Fran, as if she had studied abroad in Madrid and worked for Aaron, her fair cheeks were flushed with a healthy light red, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her smile was faintly exposed.

"Zee," Fran couldn't tell the difference between the two names she said, only as soon as she spoke, the blonde beauty trotted over with a notebook, and the beauty stepped on high heels and ran fast magic skills that made Fran worship, only to hear her can't help but cry out excitedly, "Can you sign me, Fran?" Fran naturally won't refuse.

Returning the autograph to her, Fran turned his gaze back to Ji Yi, and saw her unconcealed shock with a kind of prank and pleasure, "Francisco Alvarez," he grinned, and crossed his index and middle finger at the side of his face, "my lady." 166 Reading Network
