Fran said to himself over and over again, just resigned himself to his fate and took a back seat, and he was not convinced. In fact, his real problem is also clear, why the serious decline in physical fitness has affected him so much, all because he has been playing for so many years based on the recklessness of physical fitness.

At his peak, European football judged him that he could cover his own half of the pitch for the duration of a game. So in every seemingly exaggerated run he has, a lot of it is actually useless.

The midfielder has a lot of responsibilities based on his surging physique, which provides the ball when he is in the middle of the field, helps when the wing is blocked, and selects the range when he marks one-on-one. And now what he needs to do is not simply transform, but to make trade-offs in one moment after another on the football field.

This kind of trouble may sometimes have to complain to friends outside the circle, so when Fran deleted these words to Ji Yi, Ji Yi made an analogy.

"It's like going to eat hot pot, it's embarrassing for me to eat alone. Not only because a red pot is not cost-effective for one person, but also because I can't order a few dishes. You think about what choice you need to make, like I hold the menu and don't know what to choose from spinach, white radish, lotus root, winter melon, yam..."

Fran, who had come to talk, found that he was off topic while talking about his friend, and began to report the name of the dish while snorting.

"Do you want to eat that bag of hot pot base that you want to be an heirloom again?" Fran poked Ji Yi's head speechlessly. Ji Yi dodged left and right, without the slightest embarrassment on his face, "I mean, it's a waste for you to eat the whole pot alone, you can't choose so many kinds of dishes by yourself, and you can't be responsible for the entire football field alone." Don't you have so many teammates again, and you're re-aligning with Ramos. ”

Ji Yi said and specially reminded, "Although I don't know anything about your guard transformation, I don't think that your retired golden retriever senior can give any reliable guidance." But at least one of his words is right..."

Needless to say more from Ji Yi, Fran nodded knowingly, "I know, there is no point in forcibly training physical fitness again, I was dead in those days." ”

"Where are you only a few days dead-eyed." Ji Yi openly mocked his idol, Fran squinted at her, and saw that she was flattering like a change of face, "Please eat hot pot at night!" ”

She was in what she called 'the world but not much appetite', and Fran had nothing to do with what she ate. In the end, facing a red pot, I remembered the analogy that Ji Yi played that was actually not very close at all.

Well, Fran suddenly felt that looking at the churning food, what happened should be thought of a little bit, and it was not a big deal.

Real Madrid's training can also gradually feel that Forlan is trying to change his style of play little by little. Sometimes, on a whim, Ancelotti tried to push Forlan forward and let him try the midfield position. He predicted that the card position was good, and he had already trained for so many years to look at the overall situation, and his performance was remarkable. However, Ancelotti also knows that Real Madrid's midfield configuration has always been the most lacking position, on the contrary, good defenders have always been hard to find in football.

If you change the Real Madrid ace defender to a midfielder with occasional bright spots, I don't know if I will be scolded to death.

Ancelotti was sad, and a lot of her hair fell down. Driving home to discuss Fran's current situation on the radio, turning on the TV when I go home and I can see discussing Fran's future, and from time to time the mobile phone push also puts a "maybe you care" - Fran's peak past.

Carlo Ancelotti was worried, her hair fell down a lot, and she could dream that her defenders were still in the same state as they were a few years ago, and now the decline is just a worrying nightmare.

Of course, after waking up from the dream, Ancelotti threw his newly lost hair in the trash, and the days would go on.

At breakfast, today's newspaper was already on the side, mentioning a certain talented defender who has been touted lately, and the kid kept saying 'Francisco Alvarez is my idol', and Ancelotti snapped the newspaper aside.

He hardly wanted to see Fran's name anymore.

But despite this, the Italian still remembered this sentence, and when he went to the club, he remembered and asked Zidane, "Do you know who Forlan's idol was when he played football?" Zidane was stunned for a moment at this question, but it was no secret, almost all the people at the end of the first semester of the Galactic Battleship knew it, so he recalled the answer and said, "Baresi, I remember that his idol is Baresi." ”

And his academy coach also disliked him, and he didn't have the offensive awareness of Baresi at all.

Carlo Ancelotti was both surprised and felt that this answer was reasonable, after all, the name of football defender would never be skipped in the 80s of the last century, when Serie A was still very prosperous. "But his style of play is actually not very similar to Franco..."

After thinking for two seconds, Zidane realized that 'Franco' was Baresi's name, and he said to himself, if I told you that when he first played in the first team and didn't play a few games, people still called him 'Little Nesta', wouldn't you be even more surprised, "Maybe because he is nearly ten centimeters taller than Baresi, and his physical fitness is exaggerated?" ”

“... In terms of physical fitness, he is indeed much better than Franco," Ancelotti said and smiled, "especially since 2010, believe me, every Real Madrid opponent will rack their brains to break the lineup of Fran + Cassie. ”

But the story that happened in those two or three years was obviously not satisfactory, Zidane diverted the topic, "In fact, there are still similarities, card positions, predictions, these skills that Baresi is famous for, I heard his youth coach tell me, he was thinking about these when he was a child." Thinking of Zach's seemingly headache but actually difficult to hide his pride and pride, Zidane also laughed, "I heard that at that time, he was depressed for a while because he failed to light up his scoring skills, and then he practiced hard to make a beautiful long pass." ”

Originally, it was just small talk, but Ancelotti found that the more he chatted, the clearer it became, his mind was racing, and he replied repeatedly, "Yes, his long pass is indeed beautiful..."

He thought, presumably Fran himself has already found the direction he wants to work on next.

The future looks exciting, and it is true that the competition will not stop there, but there is always a good possibility. After all, Fran himself only needs to take care of himself, and he seems to be truly fully committed to the transformation.

This dedication is reflected in the fact that he behaves as usual in normal team training, and his habit of analysing games in his spare time for so many years has not changed, but he has spent more time studying the direction he wants to change.

As long as the goal is found, then all the struggles have meaning in Fran's eyes. He has never been afraid of challenges, and he has been licking honey with the tip of the knife for many years, and now, he has tasted rust in everything. But it doesn't make people feel vicious and excessive, in this kind of difficult period that anyone will find difficult, after surviving the initial dazed discomfort, his whole person is stretched and has no pain.

He deliberately cut back on useless runs on the field, which was not too successful at first, because the essence of his love of galloping in his bones was not so easy to change. Similarly, as Carlo Ancelotti said, if he used his original style of play, his ability to predict was his strength, but if he wanted to transform into a 'stream of consciousness defender', his prediction would be rough.

Since Euro 12 and 2016, Fran's contract has not changed much. As a result, Carvajal is currently a little embarrassed to negotiate a contract extension with Real Madrid, on the one hand, because the club's senior management has reservations about Forlan's future state, and on the other hand, because Carvajal's salary negotiated with Forlan after Euro 12 is extremely high, and the contract renewal is bound to be re-negotiated.

After so many years of cooperation, Carvajal has a blind trust in his players, and Forlan has long been accustomed to his former No. 1 agent in La Liga's excessive desire for control in a sense. Hearing his agent bring up the issue of renewing his contract, Forlan didn't think the salary drop would be a big deal, but he also interrupted Carvajal's intention to negotiate.

Carvajal understood Forlan's move as his confidence in his transformation, "You're right, when you succeed, you have to let the club rush to you to renew your contract." Honey sat confidently on Fran's couch and shook her legs and grinned, and began to imagine the faces of the merchants who regretted it.

Forlan didn't break Carvajal's dream, nor did he admit that he didn't think there was any possibility of renewing his contract from the time he signed it until 2016.

But somehow, a few days after Carvajal had already terminated the talks, the newspaper said that Real Madrid and Forlan were close to reaching a consensus on the renewal of his contract in recent days. Real Madrid have been in good form in recent games, but Forlan's post-match rating has been hovering around the average, and he has not made any mistakes like in the national derby, but he has rarely seen a very good defense that destroys key points.

Objectively speaking, his defense has become more restrained lately, and he is now more inclined to interception than the tackles that used to occur frequently. Those in the know could tell that he was trying to change his style of play, but most felt that it was a sign of tiptoeing. Such an unsatisfactory performance, coupled with the contract renewal turmoil, made the outside world complain about Fran's performance.

When Isco came in the locker room, he found Fran almost ready, and he leaned over to walk around Fran, taking an undisguised look at Fran's face. Fran was so dizzy that he reached out and poked his head aside, and Isco fell backwards on top of Arbeloa.

Arbeloa straightened the kid, "There was a saying when we were in the second team, Alvarez was not afraid of scolding. Carvajal, who was also from the academy next to him, answered, "Not only you were the first batch, but we also knew this sentence at that time." ”

Forlan rolled his eyes widely, as long as Zach was still in the academy, it was basically impossible for him to say goodbye to black history. Isco finally finished his gaze, and on this face he could see the twists and turns, not the resentment, the story, and the exhaustion.

The author has something to say: I have been addicted to the fantasy journey to the west for the past few days since the exam...
