Forlan returned from the award to Carvajal very happy, not only because he became "the only undisputed top-three Ballon d'Or winner" as a defender, but also because he finally did not have to worry about Forlan continuing to gain weight due to injury.

Because Fran finally began his rehabilitation.

Real Madrid have recently started a winning streak again, and no one will think that Forlan is passive. In contrast, Kaka, who was obviously more seriously injured and needed more recovery after surgery, was rehabilitated when he was just sure to be able to walk steadily, and returned to Real Madrid's squad after the winter break.

In the 19th round of La Liga, in Real Madrid's away match against Almeria, Kaka made his first start this season. It's just that he is not replacing Ozil as expected before the game, but poor Benzema.

Real Madrid's double defeat of Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey, a big win over Levante in the Champions League, and a one-point difference in the La Liga rankings behind Barcelona, the record is already good. The Copa del Rey semi-final was the first time in seven years that Real Madrid had reached the final of the Copa del Rey, and the last time Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey was back in 1993.

The second half of the league is always the most difficult time, and the pressure on Real Madrid is even greater, and countless people are looking at their current seemingly brilliant results, only waiting for the end of the season to usher in a situation where the big four are empty. Everyone is nervous, the superstars who have transferred want to prove that they are not parallel goods, the immature young talents who need to accumulate countless excellent performances to prove that they have the need to exist in this team, the captain who wants to prove his defensive strength in the months when someone is away, and even the head coach who is under huge pressure to live up to his title of 'champion coach'.

Of course, losing streaks will wear down the morale of the team, but the winning streak is not without the slightest negative impact. In the current situation, the team has temporarily suppressed all the dark waves, and wants to make results. However, this tension is contagious and swelling in the group, which led to the fact that after Real Madrid's 2-0 home victory over Levante in the 24th round of La Liga, the players did not have the joy of winning the game at all, but felt a burst of pressure and powerlessness when they thought of the Champions League quarterfinals that were coming in three days.

Recently, there has been an increase in competitions, and Kaka doesn't know if it's a mental effect or a physical condition, and he always feels indescribably tired. Although the current atmosphere in the team seems to be harmonious without disputes, Kaka, who has experienced a lot of experience, knows that it is time to loosen the strings and not over-tighten. But although he knows that this is the case, at the moment when Casillas, the new captain, has not expressed, Kaka, who has been injured for most of the season, is certainly not easy to speak.

Kaka knew of someone who was the best person to talk to Casillas at this moment, Fran, the physical maniac who had recently contracted a rehabilitation center. Kaka is not familiar with Fran, so he chose to communicate with Ronaldo, who also discovered the situation, hoping that he can mention it to Fran, who is currently competing with the physical trainer all day long.

After listening to Kaka's intention, Ronaldo nodded in agreement, "You're right, you need to do it now." Igor... After all, he was the captain of Real Madrid in his first year, and he wanted to win so badly. But in fact, Ronaldo understands that it is only because everyone in the team wants to win too much.

"So you're going back to Fran?" Kaka asked, Ronaldo was about to agree, and suddenly looked at Kaka with a strange expression, "No, no, no, you should go." ”

Kaka spread his hands helplessly, but Luo continued to instigate, "Seriously, Mesut moved out of Fran's house, he just doesn't know the specific atmosphere in the locker room, but if you go and briefly mention the situation to him, he will definitely understand." He's the right guy to pick out with Igor - you have to go, you've got to get on good terms with him, and he's going to owe you a great favor for that. ”

Regarding Fran as a person, in fact, Kaka has always felt that he is very enviable. He is very real, whether it is from dealing with people or making remarks to the outside world, he has always done what he wants. What makes Kaka envious is that he obviously seems to have stepped on one minefield after another, but his teammates still trust him and his fans still support him.

Although they are all athletes, they have to be forced to carry the burden of 'idol', only that guy has obviously stayed in the deep water of Real Madrid for so many years, Luo is thinking about himself, Kaka knows it in his heart, and he accepted his kindness.

When he received a call from Kaka to visit him, Fran was confused, but there was no possibility of refusal. When Kaka arrived in the evening, he saw Fran, who was able to walk normally, and the Brazilian handed over the red wine in his hand, "You look like you're recovering well." ”

Fran patted his calf, "It's basically no problem to walk, but you can't keep up with the strenuous exercise, let alone run at the usual average of tens of thousands per game." He led Kaka into the living room, joking, "I think I'm too short, I must have run too far and my legs short... I heard your house has been renovated recently?"

"Hmm," Kaka looked around, pointing in the direction of the top corner of the second floor, "I'm going to turn it into a children's playground over there." Fran looked in the direction he pointed, "It's a baby room?" haha When I first rented this house, it was a baby room, and the landlord kept telling me that it was the most suitable room for all seasons in the whole house. At first, I rented a house, so I didn't change it, but then I bought the house directly, and I thought that I should have children in those two years, so I stayed. ”

Fran thinks it's funny now, "It turns out that the baby room is staying, and then, there is no more." After he finished speaking, he motioned for Kaka to sit on the sofa and go into the kitchen to pour water for his teammates, Kaka casually glanced at the paper spread out on Forlan's table, and found that it was written the scores of Real Madrid's two games, and some diagrams. Fran, who came back with a water glass, found that Kaka noticed the paper spread out on the table, and scratched his cheek slightly embarrassed, "It's okay to be idle, study and study the reasons why the team scored and conceded goals." ”

"It's very professional!" Kaka smiled and commented casually, and didn't look at Fran's 'homework' again, Fran handed the water cup to Kaka, and sighed with annoyance, "I just studied a few games, and I felt quite tired, before that, although I felt that the manager's tactical arrangement was very important, but I always thought that the decision of the game was more dependent on the player's on-the-spot performance." When you really dig deeper and analyze the tactics, you can tell the importance of the manager. ”

Forlan knew that Kaka seemed to be a little restrained, so he directly stepped forward and picked out more than ten pages bound together in the paper, "Real Madrid is a club with too obvious star colors, and on the opposite side, it is Barcelona. He handed Kaka the little notebook from Barcelona, "Although we all know that the club also has a lot of stars, but their games have a pattern, and even the tactics of the head coach are inherited." ”

Kaka looked at Fran's sparkling eyes, his honey-colored eyes overflowing with interest, even those who didn't know him too well knew that Fran would occasionally seem a little carried away when it came to football, "But this pattern is hard to crack." ”

“... It's funny..."Fran muttered softly, staring at the messy paper on the table, his thoughts flying, and after a moment, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his not very supple curls at random, "Speaking of which, what are you looking for me, Kaka?" he was a little confused because he had unknowingly deviated from the topic, and quickly cut the subject back.

Kaka had organized the language several times before he came, how could he be tactful without obscuring the seriousness of the problem, and the wording was used very gently. Fran sat next to him and listened carefully to the speech of the Son of God, his expression gradually became serious from the initial relaxation, he really could only see the results of the team's victory, but he did not expect the atmosphere in the locker room to be so tense.

It stands to reason that Real Madrid has been pressed by Barcelona in recent years, every year Real Madrid wants to reverse, every year Real Madrid people want to win, and when Raul is still there, he will spend a lot of energy to deal with such problems and ease the atmosphere, in case of a complete collapse in the event of a defeat or excessive fatigue caused by victory. Fran thought that Igor should have learned and taken warning, but he didn't expect Igor himself to become one of the few people who felt the most pressure in the team.

"It was Igor's mistake. "Forlan has come to this conclusion even on the basis of Kaka's gentle rhetoric, and the only player in this club who can say 'it was the captain's mistake' is really the only one who can say it outright. It doesn't seem to be too much of a problem at the moment, and the team can vaguely find more than Kaka and Ronaldo, at least Forlan believes that Alonso must be clear, and he has to learn about the situation with Alonso before going back to talk to Igor, but the problem is, "Igor is under pressure... But it doesn't sound like it's just the captain's armband?"

Kaka shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

When Forlan learned something from Alonso, he realized that Casillas's anxiety was even beyond his imagination, and that a long-awaited captaincy position required so much pressure? ”

Alonso added with a wicked taste, "Maybe it's because of you?" "What?" was surprised by Fran's never-before-seen answer.

"Come to think of it, he has been guarding you for so many years, and suddenly you have been away for so many months, of course he will feel restless, right?" Alonso was originally just joking, but he actually convinced himself, "I think so." ”

I had only heard of Cassie's dependence, which was ridiculed by the media, but I had not heard of Igor's performance that would rely on him, and Fran was puzzled but could only put the issue aside for the time being. In the past two days, he has to talk to Igor about this problem when he has time, and at the same time, he has to recover as soon as possible.

After the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Real Madrid managed to advance to the last four, but the next team had a terrifyingly intensive schedule:

On April 17, in the 32nd round of La Liga, we hosted Barcelona.

On April 21, the final of the Copa del Rey was held at the Mestania Stadium against Barcelona.

On April 28, the first leg of the Champions League semifinals hosted Barcelona.

On May 4, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, away against Barcelona.

Real Madrid, who are completely going to fight Barcelona to the end, no one can control themselves not to think about the bloody 5:0 in the first half of the away game, Casillas also realized his problem after talking to Forlan deeply, and can only convince his teammates after barely convincing himself.

'Knock knock!'

Suddenly, there was a knock on the dressing room door, and everyone who thought it was manager Jose Mourinho had gone and returned looked at each other, and Canales, who was on the side, stepped forward to open the door. The guy outside the door made Canales stunned, and the next second he screamed 'woo', and directly pounced on the person in front of him.

Fran subconsciously hugged his little teammate, and after reacting, he felt funny and snorted his hair, carried him a few steps into the locker room, and grinned at everyone who still maintained all kinds of stunned expressions:

- Hey, missed me?

The author has something to say: the number of your messages makes me lose 2333 because the previous chapter was not interesting, or because you all went to the exam?

It's not like you don't love me o_o

Speaking of which, whenever I feel that the end is hopeful, I feel the urge to get to the end one day later...

[Extra: When Fran retires]

(x)

Fran did not believe Benitez's instructions, but he did not fully follow them.

He believes that Benitez is known to be a genius in pre-match tactical arrangement, but the on-field management during the game is not top-notch, and the relationship with the dressing room is even more legendally indifferent. Fran felt that he could convince the young players with his charisma that they would naturally choose to listen.

This was the case at Real Madrid, where he was close to no player in the dressing room and seemed to be forever stuck in the line between the boss and his men. If it weren't for my own time... The reason is that I haven't been able to establish a good relationship with him, so that I have joined the coaching staff. It's the same at Newcastle, where the players follow his orders, but no one will question why they did it. Not because of complete trust, Fran thinks it's the fear of being too serious.

Benitez knows that Forlan is certainly not cultivated under the coaching system, and in the past two years, more and more players have retired and become excellent managers after a few years, just like Pep Guardiola and Zinedine Zidane. There are more and more young marshals in the profession, and they seem to be getting younger, but Benitez doesn't think he's been eliminated.

"Then what do you want to do?" Benitez calmly looked at Fran, who disagreed with him, Fran shook his head in a daze, "I just want to express my opinion, I don't want to do it?"

He's always been like that, he's just saying his point of view, but he's not really trying to get the other side's approval.

Benitez choked, he looked at the boy in front of him who seemed too young in the football coaching industry, and said, "I'll give you the FA Cup." ”

...“... What are you talking about?" Fran looked at Benitez in surprise, but Fran, who knew that this gentleman didn't like to joke, raised an irrepressible smile on his face, "... Really, the FA Cup?"

Newcastle's goal for the new season is to promote the Premier League, not the FA Cup, not to mention that Newcastle's opponents from the third round are amateur teams, and they will probably not meet Premier League and League One opponents for the time being. Benitez thinks it's actually good to hand it over to him.

Forlan has a clear idea of how to coach himself, and all he needs is the experience he has accumulated from game by game, not just as an assistant coach with one manager after another. Benitez knew he needed a chance, and Benitez felt like he could have a chance with him too.
