Forlan has returned to the squad and has been training with the team for months like there has been no window at all, and he even seems to know Ramos, Marcelo and Carvalho at the back better than he ever did. @|This kind of performance, as if he was not going to recuperate from his injuries but to retreat and cultivate, made the onlookers' scalps tingle, but it was difficult to hide the surprise.

Canales' reaction was clear, and his return had been expected for too long.

This is the best time for Francisco Álvarez, at his best age.

Physical reports from the coaching staff show that he is fully back to normal and is fully capable of coping with the amount of movement he started the game. Jose Mourinho did not hesitate to put him back in the starting central defender position, but the news was tightly guarded to the outside world, and no one expected Real Madrid's big killer to come back quietly.

Barcelona who came to Madrid dreamed of creating a world-shocking score again at the Bernabeu, Guardiola was mobilizing before the game in the away team's dressing room, and suddenly there was a knock on the dressing room door, and the assistant coach came in and handed the list in his hand to Guardiola, "Real Madrid did not intend to use him as a substitute in the 23-man squad, and put him directly in the starting position. ”

Pep Guardiola looked at Forlan's name on the starting list with a calm face, Real Madrid covered the news too well this time, even if it was the announced squad, he only thought that this guy who had been injured for nearly five months was used as a substitute. With such a long suspension, who gave Mourinho the confidence and courage to get him on the pitch and adapt to the game in the big stage of the national derby?

However, although Guardiola repeatedly thought that Mourinho was too arrogant, he had to be wary of Forlan's appearance. But now, where can you change the tactical layout just because the opponent has an extra defender in the lineup?

He calmed down and told captain Puyol and the strikers to follow the original plan, and they would definitely be able to tear a hole in Real Madrid's defense.

Can it be?

When Forlan intercepted Xavi's attempt to stuff the ball in front of the court again, and faced the hoarse cheers of the Meilinger at the Bernabeu, Forlan held the ball steadily forward, and converted the ball with the retreating Kaka, but did not immediately return to the defense, but stayed next to the Brazilian to continue to advance.

Forlan vaguely noticed that Kaka had been trying to avoid physical confrontation with his opponent since the serious injury, and he felt that his sense of self-protection was also a matter of course, and since he would be temporarily constrained by the opponent's defence, it would be better to simply separate the midfielder from the opponent's home.

Kaka's speed with the ball is not as unmatched as it was at its peak, but it is still not to be underestimated, while Forlan is able to follow his steps as closely as possible without the ball, and will not block his passing intentions. He has always been a key defender and has not been so easy with the ball in a long time, especially against Barcelona.

Parallel to Kaka is Mesut Ozil, the German who arrived as Kaka's substitute is more commendable than Kaka's attacking ability to shoot and play. Seeing that he went straight into the big penalty area, Kaka did not take any credit, and directly distributed the ball to Ozil, who was temporarily released by Pique, Ozil stopped the ball beautifully at his feet, raised his foot and swept the ball directly to the penalty area, but this was not a shot, because it was Benzema who suddenly appeared in the penalty area and shot straight at the ball.

Forlan, who led by a goal, looked at Benzema, who was pressed tightly at the corner, and was about to return to the backfield, but was still dragged by Ozil and Kaka to the pile. Fran looked at Benzema, who was full of big men, and moved his next body of muscles and bones that were about to rust during his recuperation, and laughed and threw himself on the top.

In the final national derby, Barcelona came from afar with great expectations, but lost 1-0 to the Bernabeu because of this goal, and Real Madrid regained a two-point lead to the top of La Liga after a few months.

After that game, Marca newspaper released a photo of Forlan laughing and pounced on his Real Madrid team-mate, with the words "Barcelona be careful, he's back" in bold red letters. ”

The Melingers cheered, it wasn't because a small one-goal win could make them so proud, but everyone looked at the defender who was dressed in steel and iron, and didn't seem to have the slightest injury impact, and felt stable, as if with this one more person, they could completely defend without worry.

The performance of the Real Madrid team in this game was completely different from the one a few months ago, and it was obviously not the credit of one person, but the disparity was too conspicuous for people to take the credit to Francisco Alvarez in unison.

Real Madrid start each season with high morale and look invincible, but every season they are bound to suddenly fall to the bottom, and even collapse at worst, even if they can sometimes bounce back after a few defeats, they will still end up with regretful defeats. And this time, when the bloody 5:0 shadow has not faded, everyone looks at the scene of Real Madrid facing Barcelona four times in 18 days, and they all feel endless despair welling up in their hearts, and Forlan's appearance is too much like the usual way of heroes to play.

In the 33rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid, who won the national derby, faced Valencia at home with fighting spirit. In order to prepare for the Copa del Rey final in a few days, Mourinho chose to rotate a lot, putting seven people including Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil, Alonso, Ramos, etc. on the bench, and once again the 343 lineup showed crazy offensive power, but also had offensive power that no one can ignore.

Casillas continued to start at the back, with Forlan occupying the middle of the back three, Carvalho and Pepe on the left and right. Midfielder Kaka took the position with Granero and Canales. Valencia felt that Real Madrid underestimated themselves too much at first, but when their own players were intercepted again and again by fancy interceptions, they could only look at the ball and sigh.

After Forlan forced Juan Mata off the flank again to push him off the touchline, a new tune rang out at the Bernabeu Stadium that had never been sung before.

[Thank you for coming to Madrid, thank you for coming to the Bernabeu, the children of Real Madrid.] It's an unnamed song that seems to apply to every player who plays for Real Madrid. But at this moment, everyone knew that the song sung by the Millingers was sung to Fran.

You are the best, the best fighter. The song was sung so neatly that no one could tell how long the fans had been preparing for the song, but the song was all around the Santiago Bernabeu stadium and full of praise. You are never complacent, never proud, never compromised, never timid, never retreating. 】

[You are like us, flowing with white blood, and you will always be our strongest backing. 】

[You are like us, with white blood flowing, and we will always be your strongest backing. 】

Mata should have thrown the ball on the sidelines, but he stopped uncontrollably, looking at Forlan with a complicated expression, what should he do about this senior who was also from Castia? envy, jealousy, or admiration? Mata couldn't tell, he could only distinguish between a flash of regret and loss.

Fran didn't notice the psychological changes in Mata, he crossed the whole green field, looked at the singing crowd from afar, he thought that with the passage of time everything became a habit, he thought that after all kinds of things he could be tempered into steel, but he would still uncontrollably soften his heart into a puddle of water, muttering, "... I know," he knows, he's a dreamer, but never the only one, "but if Real Madrid need a defender, I'm the defender. ”

In the end, Valencia suffered a 6-0 massacre at the Bernabeu.

A few days later, the Copa del Rey final was played at the Mestania Stadium, between Real Madrid and Barcelona, which have been prone to aesthetic fatigue in recent times.

On the Barcelona side, Puyol and main goalkeeper Valdés are temporarily on the bench, and it is clear that Guardiola is preparing for the upcoming Champions League semi-finals. Mourinho only rotated Benzema, who has played frequently recently, and the lineup is quite neat.

Neither side seems to be intent on getting the other out of rhythm, and both sides frequently block the attacking organization with fouls that can be big or small. However, the absence of Puyol in the Barcelona backline has caused Forlan to become a real old fritter, and his actions are still stuck in the safety line of making players uncomfortable but not reaching the yellow card action in the eyes of the manager, so that when Mascherano and Alves have already hung a yellow card after the opening ten minutes, someone is still a clean white body.

Seeing that the Barcelona midfielder was eager to try, Forlan made a gesture with Carvalho, signaling to start changing to an offside position, Carvalho nodded quietly to indicate that he had received, and the two black-hearted defenders agreed, and Ramos and Marcelo were allowed to be active in the frontcourt. With Pedro, Lionel Messi and Villa up front, everyone is an experienced player, and Carvalho and Forlan will have to be very careful to ensure that they don't make mistakes.

After several successes, Pedro was already a little impatient, but Messi was still calm, did not wait for midfield support, but directly took the ball in the midfield and went straight down the side, although he failed to diagonally into the penalty area, he fought for a corner.

The Barcelona corner was kicked off by Andres Iniesta, and Casillas was full of people in the box. Pique, who looks abrupt at Barcelona in terms of height, is of course the focus of his headers, and Forlan, who has a good bounce, is by his side. Iniesta's corner kick this time was not of high quality, although it was kicked towards Pique's position, his 1.92 meter tall was not easy to catch. Looking at the header that was almost delivered to him, Forlan blinked, and his feet leaned diagonally upwards slightly, wanting to directly overhead Higuain, who was unguarded to the side, so that he could take this opportunity to counterattack.

Who knew that he had just jumped off the ground, and someone next to him stretched out his black leg and stopped in front of Fran's calf, and Fran, who had not made much force, was forced to shift his center of gravity, and Fran, who felt bad, wanted to raise the football high with his waist, but the final result was that although he also put the ball above his head as he wished, the football did not fly in the direction of Higuain.

Instead, it crashed into Casillas' defensive corner.

Fran, who was directly smashed on the ground in the front, felt a breath in his chest, and it took a long time to recover his breath. He glanced at Pique, who was gloating about nothing around him, and actually laughed angrily, and the next second when Fran reacted that he had entered an oolong, and before he could bury his face in the grass, he saw Ramos with an inexplicable strange expression, like envy and admiration.

Ramos reached out and pulled Fran up from the ground, and said with emotion, "Wow, this ball is so beautiful..."

An oolong leaping to the top?

Fuck, isn't that also an own goal in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona?

Casillas looked back at the ball that hung into the corner of the goal with an expressionless face, and then looked at the top of the arc of the big penalty area where Forlan landed and at least four other players interspersed between the two people, and felt that Forlan's goalscoring ability was inexplicably poisonous.

You can leap to the top from the top of the arc of the big forbidden area with four or five heads across the head, you are insane!

The author has something to say: I'm going to hang up for Fran, get ready!

[Extra: When Fran retires] (Xiao Fanwai saw that it was more than 10,000 yuan, and I will sort it out when I finish writing)

At the start of the season, with some time to go before the Championship side join the FA Cup third round, Forlan feels he still has plenty of time to prepare.

As a result, the Newcastle players have noticed that Mr Alvarez has been feeling as if he had been on drugs lately.

The players in the team are actually very curious about the new assistant coach, many say that he is the last dream of Real Madrid for players in modern football, and his path to success seems simple, but it is difficult to replicate. If he had been a team-mate at back, everyone would have welcomed him, but no one had confidence in him.

"This... The fault tolerance rate is too low. 'The captain of the team, Russells, is a central defender for Newcastle, and there is no central defender who does not adore Forlan. Even so, he was still confused about Fran's proposal.

"How can there be a low margin for error?" Fran was stunned, "In the face of this kind of timing, the opponent will 100% make this kind of breakthrough choice?" Ruscelles shrugged, "I don't think so, at least John on our team wouldn't choose this way... We're in the Championship, do you think everybody is at Real Madrid or Barcelona?"

He still didn't say a word, others will choose this way because the opponent is you Francisco Álvarez, but if you change it to someone else, where is that?

"I've heard that you can anticipate your opponent's movements on the court," Russells, thinking over the wording, trying to be as tactful as possible, "and I believe you can anticipate their movements." "But you're a coach anymore, not a player anymore.

Fran silently looked at the set of tactical combinations bound in his hand, and suddenly felt like he was in a sweet dream. As Ruscelles said, he can't make assumptions about what choices he would make on the pitch, but put himself in the shoes of each different player.

"You should have seen a lot of talented football," Ruscelles said with some self-deprecation, patting Fran on the shoulder comfortingly, "but my dear, congratulations on coming to a world where there aren't so many superstars." ”
