"In the Euro 2012 final, both Spain and Sweden were eliminated in the group stage. &. Most of Spain's Real Madrid and Barcelona squad are out of the game, and Sweden seems to be unlikely to qualify by default after Francesco Alvarez suffered a muscle strain after the first game of the group stage. ”

Forlan, who was eliminated early due to a muscle strain, has returned to Madrid, and the injury is not serious, but it is only due to muscle fatigue after playing in Real Madrid last season and winning the Champions League. It's still very frustrating to be eliminated early from the World Cup, after all, although Sweden has no ambitions for the World Cup title without winning a European Cup, Forlan and Ibrahimovic still want to go as far as they can.

However, in the European Championship two years later, although Forlan and Ibrahimovic are old enough to be able to play in the top European national team, it is not a big problem in the Swedish team. Not only is it not a big problem, but maybe it will be a key main player.

After Real Madrid won the 11th Champions League under Carlo Ancelotti's leadership, there have been a lot of personnel changes after the new season, mainly concentrated in the midfield. After the departures of Kaka, Mesut Ozil and Alonso, Modric, Isco, Bale, Kroos and Ronaldo arrived around the past two seasons to inject fresh blood into Real Madrid.

Because of the World Cup, Real Madrid was absent from the International Champions Cup before the season, and several players, including Forlan, were not brought in by Ancelotti. Even the friendly match that followed was not included in the squad and was not officially played until the last Spanish Super Cup match against Atletico Madrid before the season.

Real Madrid host promoted Cordoba in their first league game, with Carlo Ancelotti putting new signings Kroos and J Ronaldo in the starting line-up. Riding the stadium bus to the Bernabeu Stadium, Fran, who had fallen behind and listened to Casillas tell interesting stories about the warm-up game, had just boarded the bus when someone behind him suddenly raised his hand to beckon him over.

"Your son has given you a place in the back." Cristiano Ronaldo, who was sitting in the front row, smiled and pointed to the excited child who was jumping around, a name that caused Ramos and Benzema to burst into laughter. Fran touched his chin, ignoring the joking names of the men, and walked towards the little kid who had already grown stubble with his bag.

Fran put the bag away and looked at the child with sparkling eyes, "So happy to be in the starting list?" The kid laughed stupidly happily when he heard this, Fran was amused by him, raised his hand and rubbed his hair, "Kick 352 today, and kick it well, Isco." ”

Isco, who came to Real Madrid as the 'European Golden Boy Award', is actually just the nickname of this child, and his name is taken from the second half of the name 'Francisco' on the bad street, which is exactly the same as 'Fran' taken from the first half. Everyone in the team knew that Fran's 'Sisko' was raised by him as his precious son, and no matter how much he disliked Alaska's bad memory, it couldn't change his love for this dog. This led to an interesting scene when 'isco', who was extremely imaginary with 'cisco', came to Real Madrid.

Originally, Isco's age was like a child to Forlan, not to mention that although the Spanish golden boy is said to be known for his 'calm personality', he likes to play like a child in the Real Madrid team. When Mesut Ozil came to Real Madrid at a young age, Forlan worked hard to help him integrate into the team because of his more introverted personality, Isco did not have the uneasiness of going to other countries like Ozil, and Forlan was still willing to let these talented young players adapt to the team.

Especially since last season, Fran's previous fangs and claws have become more and more restrained, and the boyishness seems to have gradually disappeared, becoming mature and gentle. It turns out that joy, anger and sorrow are always written on his face, and his frustration is so frustrated that he is proud and proud, and there is a sense of self-exile, but now people ridicule him for probably because he has been with Alonso for a long time, and he has learned most of the restraint and freedom of the 'gentleman on the field, butcher on the field'.

After Alonso went to Bayern Munich in the new season, some fans saw the lessons of the past and speculated whether Alonso changed Muller's painting style, or Muller made Alonso 'completely' integrate into Bayern Munich.

So Fran and Isco, who were originally fated because of their names, were occasionally ridiculed by Ronaldo for raising a son under this 'care'. Isco's adaptation to the team has been exemplary, having joined Real Madrid as UEFA Youth Champions and winning the hearts of Carlo Ancelotti, Zinedine Zidane and Real Madrid fans from the start. Everyone seems to have a rough and bumpy road at Real Madrid, and it seems that he and Real Madrid are still in their honeymoon period.

In the 352 lineup placed in Ancelotti's first league game, whether it is Ramos, Forlan and Marcelo lined up at the back, or Modric, Kroos, Bale, J Ronaldo and Isco piled up in the midfield, it is a 'no attack, no death' domineering layout.

The situation seems to be exactly like this, Real Madrid's midfield has achieved a comprehensive crushing of Córdoba, constantly providing cannonballs to Ronaldo and Benzema in the forward line. Carlo Ancelotti showed off the team's attacking prowess in the opening league game at the Bernabeu for the almost entire stadium.

However, correspondingly, the 352 squad has high requirements for the back, especially when Marcelo and Ramos are not content with defense, and the pressure on Forlan as a central defender is correspondingly greater. Ancelotti looked at his team's lead with a calm expression, and asked his assistant next to him, "How many people haven't done the pre-season fitness test yet?" "The assistant coach was stunned, and I don't know which player on the pitch showed fatigue in the first game of the season, whether it was during the summer break.

"A few who came back later, Cristiano Ronaldo, Coentrão, Marcelo, Benzema..." Ancelotti nodded silently, looked at someone sweating profusely on the pitch, and added, "Didn't Fran get tested after his injury healed?" ”

“... Ah yes, there is no problem at all with the training of the team after Fran recuperates, and there is no arrangement," the assistant coach seemed a little surprised by Ancelotti's sudden name, "to... Is Fran given a fitness test alone? ”

Ancelotti shook his head, "Arrange several people to test together, and you don't really need to test the limit, the physical trainer will have his own arrangements." ”

In the end, Real Madrid won 3-0 in the first game of the league, and the former fitness coach was dismissed in the dressing room, and a few people were ordered to take a fitness test the day after tomorrow. Several people who were named let out a real or false ghost crying wolf howl, after all, it is not a joyful experience to be tired and prostrate after each test. It was only when Fran's name was pronounced that everyone was silent for a moment, and they all looked at his place at the same time.

Fran was calming his breathing, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with hearing his name being mentioned, after all, it was a kind of post-injury test. He rubbed his knee and nodded his head to indicate that he understood.

After finishing up, everyone walked outside, and Fran remembered something in the back and gathered next to the assistant coach, "Nacho, do you have a stat for the entire running distance here?" The assistant coach guessed that he probably felt that it was a bit strange that he was deliberately brought out to test the 'fitness' problem, so he handed him the statistics, "Don't worry, you must still be number one." ”

Fran, who heard the phrase 'you still run the first distance', didn't show any joy, just smiled politely at him, and then looked at the running distance of 12,000 above with a slightly gloomy face.

After a day of post-race recuperation, on the third day, several people came to the training camp earlier than the main team for testing. The strength and conditioning coaching staff has a test plan for each person's physical condition, and when it is Fran's turn, it is a headache for them, after all, at his age of 33, it is really elusive to have the fitness to barely miss a game last season.

A slight dip in start-up speed and average speed was expected by the coaching staff, after all, he is not as good as Gareth Bale, who debuted as a defender in the field of speed, but he is still not to be underestimated. It's just that when the lung capacity was tested, the fitness coach who recorded the data frowned slightly compared to his data from last year, and after the test of Coentrão and Benzema, he signaled Forlan to come back and take the lung capacity again.

It is evident that the lung capacity records in the statistical table for so many years have been a slight increase until 2010, and the fluctuations have not stabilized in 10 to 13 years, and the total distance that is almost unattainable can be reached each season, so Fran has long been known as the 'iron lung'. But this data in the hands of the physical trainer, of course, is still top-notch in the team, but for Forlan himself, it is a bit exaggerated.

If the coach himself hadn't known Fran for so many years, he would have wanted to ask him if he had become addicted to tobacco and alcohol recently.

In any case, the test should continue, and the real running distance test will be carried out after it has been set on several machines. Before the test, Ronaldo joked with Marcelo more easily, turning his head to blow a wave of Fran's god-like physical fitness, and saw Fran's serious expression, and even seemed to reveal some anxiety that was also revealed by deliberate pressing.

When he was playing for Manchester United, the Asian media always liked to blow Park Ji-sung as a 'two hearts and three lungs' to indicate that his physical fitness was one of the best in European football, and after coming to Real Madrid and meeting Francisco Alvarez, Ronaldo can be regarded as a real physical maniac. In 1213, Essien was loaned to Real Madrid from Chelsea during the tumultuous season at Real Madrid, when Essien, who was two years younger than Forlan, was no longer as energetic as he was when he was first called 'Buffalo', and Forlan was still the first solid defender.

Last season's 33-year-old teammates were still unstoppable, which made Ronaldo envious and couldn't help but imagine what kind of state he could maintain at the age of 33. But the reality seems to be cruel after all, Ronaldo thought, and there was no idea of joking.

The machine started to start, and the sound of the players talking stopped. For a moment the room was filled with the sound of machines running and feet pedaling, a boring and lengthy test, with a few players looking around boredly for attention, and as time went on, the players' breathing began to sound light or heavy.

When Fran began to feel that he couldn't hold his breath, Marcelo was running beside him. He didn't really care about what Marcelo was in at the moment, because he knew it was his own trial. I didn't leave the machine until I really felt the strain, and when I swept over, I realized that Marcelo had stopped testing.

Fran braced his knees and looked at his feet, sweat running down his hair, and he could feel his knees trembling slightly. The fitness coach next to him glanced at the numbers on the machine, and looked at Fran before the record, as if he wanted to ask, 'Did he not recover well after the game', after all, his current state is completely different from the previous ease.

Fran could feel the smell of blood churning up in his throat, and he barely stood up straight. Let him say what's good? Could it be that when he saw that the statistics were only 12,000 after the game, he vaguely noticed that something was wrong?
