158 chapter 158

The national derby ended with Real Madrid's home victory, and Real Madrid with full firepower made the world shine. People talk about the success of Real Madrid's tactics in this game, and the end of it all comes up with the following sentence:

It's a pity that Francisco Álvarez is old.

Or rather, Francisco Álvarez is finally getting old.

With the exception of a few overly vicious newspapers, the vast majority of his apparent cases maintained a rare and rare tolerant attitude.

The overwhelming criticism did not come, with most people simply expressing doubts that Ancelotti did not make an early substitution. And this suspicion was also broken when someone picked up the game picture of Forlan refusing to be replaced early, not that Ancelotti didn't know how to choose to make a substitution, but a rare willfulness on the field of Real Madrid's vice team for so many years.

So Carvajal, who thought it would be another PR crisis, found that everything had become silent in an inexplicable way.

Perhaps, as the most liked one in the comments says, he has done the best he can in more than a decade, and you can't expect more from a man who is almost thirty-four.

After the game, the messages under Fran's social account rarely stopped looking like black fans, and became extremely heartwarming. Ancelotti directly pinned the pot of Forlan's cramping off the field on his tactical layout, and did not mention the problem of Forlan's declining form. A man who plays at Real Madrid doesn't show the slightest difference before and after the game, as if everyone has turned the page together.

No, not all of them, because Fran didn't actually spare himself.

In the league game away after the national derby, Forlan was not included in the squad. Blocked outside the training camp, Fran was silent in the face of reporters' questions, no longer as easy as he once solved, as if he was full of confidence to run a train.

Ancelotti said at the press conference after the game that Forlan has played too many games recently, and the club's problems have not allowed him to rotate, resulting in a not very satisfactory physical recovery. 'When did Francisco Alvarez need to be rested?' Such a question flashed through the minds of the reporters, and the next second their attention was focused on the captain Casillas, who was in attendance.

While the national derby showed a genius against Lionel Messi's almost certain goal, Casillas has not been going well lately. The Real Madrid captain under the camera looks particularly vicissitudes, especially since a certain game in the group stage of the World Cup.

A fan who watched the whole post-match interview p'd a comparison picture, when Spain was beaten 1-5, Casillas was full of helplessness, and Forlan was at a loss in the national derby. The capitalized and bold font above the picture marked 'poor captain and vice-captain', and a group of fans said that they were stabbed again and again.

There are traces of the reasons for some people's decline, such as Henry, who has won the big ears cup at Barcelona, has won the collective honor, has no desire, has no ambition, and he is also bent on living in the United States, and was eventually replaced by the rising Pedro. Shepchenko left the San Siro at a young age to join a new league and adapt to a new tactic, and he was not yet a regular in Mourinho's mind, and he eventually got chilled in the cold London weather. Villa also made many achievements in the Champions League the previous season, and there were rumors of a feud with Messi in the new season, and he broke a bone in the Club World Cup, and finally came back to a much worse state.

But there are some people who have not transferred, the team's tactics have not changed much, and it is not because of the rookie wall that the form has suddenly disappeared.

Carlo Ancelotti was telling the truth, the coaching staff didn't put Forlan in the squad because he was not in good form after the national derby. But there are always conspiracy theorists in the world, and Real Madrid's behavior should be contrary to what the fans hoped, so people speculate whether the club is putting pressure on the manager and putting its own vice-captain again.

In the past, Fran might have clarified, but at this moment he was not in such a mood, which led to the uproar of Fran's delegated speech.

In the 11th round of the league, Real Madrid, who hosted Sevilla, released the starting list, and Forlan's name was prominently listed. His arrival at the Bernabeu was met with exaggerated cheers from the Melingers, who shouted his name over and over again to give him endless encouragement. Unfortunately, the expected face-slapping counterattack did not happen, and Forlan was mediocre throughout the game and was replaced by Carlo Ancelotti after 70 minutes of the game.

"He's in shape to finish the game," the commentator sighed as he looked at Forlan who had left the game silently, "I hope it's because Ancelotti realizes that Forlan needs to be saved, and not to break the doubts of the outside world and let him play before he is in good shape." ”

On the other day of the game, the team had a collective holiday, and at breakfast, Fran flipped through his mobile phone to read the messages at the bottom, all encouraging and loving. It's just that when I searched for my name, I saw a text that was topped at the top:

He couldn't find a target to make a generous statement, and he couldn't grasp the reason to die calmly. I want to be a hero who has no hesitation, but somehow I have become a clown who can only sell with 'feelings', and I want to be a loyal and unyielding martyr, but I am beaten into a brainless club captive when I make trouble.

Fran rubbed her head and put her phone back in her pocket. He didn't plan to really take a vacation on this day of vacation, so he packed up and drove to the direction of training camp. Fran himself is holding back a fire, actually a fire to himself, and he is confused that the physical strength he has always been proud of has become a shortcoming, and he is confused about what to do next. So before he could decide on the next step, he could only blindly practice to enhance his physical fitness as he did when he was a teenager.

Fran, who had stepped out of the equipment room after training, lay limply on the steps, looking at the western sky, his gaze beyond the dark woods, and the treetops partly crossed the last layer of Phnom Penh in the afterglow of the setting sun. The light was soft, not glaring at all.

Sweat trickled down his forehead down his cheeks, and every bead of sweat that had gathered across his face, neck, arms, and legs was running down.

He almost looked like a man who had just climbed out of a pool.

When Guti was told that Franga Lian was coming quickly, he saw such a picture. He stood still a few steps away from Fran, looking at the man who always looked like a child to him, and it seemed that only the moment of physical exhaustion could make him feel relaxed all over, which made Guti reluctant to break his rare state of ease recently.

Fran finally sensed someone around him, and when he opened his eyes to see Guti, he was startled and sat up again. Guti rushed over from the academy and was still wearing the sportswear, and he sat next to Fran without reluctance, "Tell me if you have anything to say." ”

Fran didn't say a word.

Guti is also used to his stubbornness, he never needs his friends to suffer with him, and he always hopes to tell his friends as a joke when everything is resolved. But what is it? Who hasn't survived such a deep gap? "I can't do anything like you, Fran, so you just talk about it, and I'll listen to it, and it's not a big deal."

β€œ... Why did you decide to retire after a year away from Real Madrid? Forlan was still dry after a strenuous workout when he spoke, and Guti raised an eyebrow, "Should my focus be on 'leaving Real Madrid' or 'retiring in a year'?" After speaking, he didn't wait for Fran to answer and chuckled, "I probably found that I was insignificant to the team on the field, and I didn't have much ability, and on the battlefield of football, this kind of person is probably going to be eliminated." ”

"You're saying I'm not doing the team any good?" Fran turned his head to look at Guti, who shrugged his shoulders without guilt, "Based on your performance in the last game, you really might as well let Pepe play, wouldn't you?" ”

"I don't agree." Fran's lips trembled slightly, "I don't feel like I've gotten to the point where I can't even kick the main force." ”

"So what can you do? They question your fitness, so do you have to retrain it? Guti felt that he might have the qualifications to become a villain boss, but he was still ruthless, "You have to know that you are thirty-three now, not twenty-three, and physical fitness is no longer something that you can increase if you increase your exercise." ”

"I'm not afraid to question." That said, he was far less powerful than his words. Guti felt that Fran was simply engraved with 'blank' on his face, "Fran, it's too much, it's easy to break through steel." ”

"I don't want to."

He bites every word of 'I don't want to' clearly, as if to mean that he is not willing to accept this situation even if he crushes his teeth. Guti stopped looking at him this time, and looked straight ahead, "Is it difficult for you to admit that you are old?" ”

Fran didn't answer at all, just squinted at him, as if asking him again, 'Are you talking nonsense?' Guti felt that his state at this time was actually a bit like Raul in the past, even if he shot the football away, he had to force the ball over and over again, and was sprayed as a ball bully by the outside world; It's a bit like Casillas, trying to keep the main goalkeeper position firmly in every possible way.

A lot of people feel that this is not about the big picture. But in reality, it's just the fact that these once-high-ranking stars don't want to believe that they are really getting old.

"I'll accept it very quickly," Guti thought in thought, holding her chin, "I thought you'd accept it very quickly... After all, you agreed to give way to Sergio so happily, didn't you? ”

"I desperately didn't want to grow old," Fran shook his head over and over again, unwilling to believe that this was the only possibility he had to face, "I didn't want to grow old, desperately trying to live up to his standards." Now you tell me that my immortality is a hindrance? ”

Guti touched her hair, unnoticedly touching her receding hairline, and withdrew her hand. He coughed and ignored the embarrassing action, "Then have you ever felt for a moment that Igor, who is in declining form, is a hindrance to Real Madrid as the starting goalkeeper?" ”

"I'm with Igor," Fran couldn't help but smile wryly when Guti stopped him by this question, "the two of us are really a pair of extremely funny captains and vice-captains." ”

The author has something to say: G14 is not trying to persuade Fran to give up, and Fran will not just give up.

I actually felt for a while that Cassie's state was declining badly, and there was a lot of off-court news, so it was annoying to just substitute it, can't it?

Later, I actually knew that Cassie Poop was not easy.

I feel like the previous 1213 season was written to make Cassie poop a lot more black 2333 poop, I'm sorry for you, in fact, you tore that chapter with Fran, I feel sorry for you!

I can only say that you are all honey pampering for Franlan. 166 Reading Network
