66 chapter 66
"The zone represents the range of movement of the player, but there is no defined position, such as the middle line, which is the area of movement of the striker when defending, the position of the forward movement when the attack and defense are balanced, and the area of activity of the defender when pressing the attack. The area is dead, but the players are alive. β
Capello spoke to Forlan in earnest, comparing his usual position, "Of course, the two full-backs like Carlos and Salgado are really too far forward when pressing, but in fact, your position is also too deep. Fran frowned and nodded at his position and the large gap in the backcourt, "That means that while attacking, you have to abandon defense?" β
Capello is known to be a manager who puts defense and balance first, so these words are even more difficult for Forlan to understand. But Capello just shook his head, "You tell me, if you are in the middle line and left and right in the middle line when you are in the full-scale attack, will you really not be able to return to your original position to ensure the defense?" β
β... I'm in the back position, so I have enough time to make the best choice on the solution while the opponent is attacking, and you are right, of course I can retreat to ensure the defense, but the success rate must be greatly reduced. Fran replied earnestly.
"You don't seem to be able to improve now, right? Everybody knows that the best solution can be found after careful consideration, and you've done a great job of that, but can't you really make up for your so-called big discount? You want to improve, and I will show you the way to improve. Capello didn't continue to flicker, but left Fran enough time to continue to think about it, Fran glanced at Capello, carefully reached out and compared the distance between the positions marked by Capello, began to estimate silently, and asked abruptly after a while, "So, do you also think that my style of play is not as good as others?" β
"Everybody's got their specialty, Fran," Capello patted him on the shoulder, "your expertise and your weaknesses are known all over the world, even if you score a penalty in the World Cup." Everybody knows you're good at defending, and I certainly do. Why do I want you to develop Fran like this? It's not your style of play, it's that your style of play can't be fully integrated into the whole Real Madrid team, you're good, but you give me the feeling that it's on the surface harmonious with this Real Madrid team, but in fact it's abrupt. You're completely out of touch with this team's offense. β
Forlan was stunned, Capello did not plan to take it step by step, in his opinion, what he did this time was gentle enough, "And you definitely don't want to leave Real Madrid, so you need to change." It's not because it's better or worse, it's that you want to stay here, you want to be the 'number one defender' that hasn't been recognised across Europe for a long time. β
"You think I'm out of touch with the offense, so in your opinion, I'm going to step up the offense?" Fran asked amusedly, but Capello looked serious and didn't smile when he was talking about serious things, "I won't let an eagle learn to dive, and I won't let a whale learn to fly, the same thing." And your question is, what can you do when the team is attacking? You've worked well with David Beckham, you've been able to make sure he's got the ball and give him plenty of space to play and that's it, that's how you get involved. But that's not all... Let's put it this way, who do you think will be the key player in the central axis of Real Madrid's new season? β
After CalderΓ³n's announcement to bring in Kaka, Arjen Robben and Cesc Fabregas all turned out to be empty shots, he tried to satisfy the appetite of the fans with Reyes, or with Capello's not-so-important and formless Baptista for a year. The arrival of Emerson was less than a surprise, as the Brazilian, who had been pursued by Real Madrid for three years and loved by Fabio Capello, finally followed in the footsteps of his mentor from Juventus who had been caught in the phone gate to Real Madrid, and has since moved away from Alp to the Santiago Bernabeu. And Mohamed Diarra is a member of Capello's appointed midfielder.
No matter how you look at the arrival of Gago, it is a substitute existence, if you think about it this way, Beckham, Emerson, Diarra, Reyes, Guti, who should be the key position in the central axis, this really should not be the intention of the manager that Forlan can understand.
Seeing that this kid seemed to expect that this question was not easy to answer, so he chose to be silent, Capello smiled in his heart, it turned out that this guy still knows when to make a fuss and when to be cautious. "Do you think I brought Emerson from Juventus to Real Madrid to build a midfield configuration with him at its core?"
Fran silently complained in his heart, if not, did you buy Emerson to increase the struggle between the Spanish gang and the Brazilian gang?
"Whether it's Emerson or Diarra, actually, the attacking and defensive tackling is a big reason for my choice. At Juventus, I see Emerson as the 'silent leader', but Real Madrid is not a lend to that silence. I'm sure he can play a good midfielder role, but the core? β
β... What do you think of Jose? Fran swallowed the words several times but eventually spit them out, and Capello looked at him for several seconds before he smiled, "I thought you would at least mention Beckham at the same time?" β
"David's words, the right side is more suitable for him than the middle lane." Fran's answer was crisp and clear, obviously thoughtful, but it was impossible for Capello to convince him that he was not half emotional. β... Add to that the fact that he hasn't renewed his contract so far, and you look like you're looking to rebuild it completely, and from that point of view, I don't think it's possible to bet on a player who is likely to leave after a season. β
Capello snorted and asked, "Have you ever thought about being a coach in the future?" After speaking, he immediately shook his head and denied himself, "Look at what I said, you still have more than ten years to play, what do you want to do with this?" So in that case, and your qualifications are completely sufficient, have you ever imagined yourself becoming the captain of Real Madrid? Fran was a little stunned, in fact, he had always positioned himself as the vice-captain in the future, and he had never thought of the possibility of being a captain, but perhaps the god of fate also wanted him to think a little more thoughtfully, and a phone call came in to inform him not to forget the group party in the evening.
Putting down the phone, he didn't wait for Fran to signal Capello to continue talking, and maybe even because he suddenly told others about his ambitions, he couldn't contain his excitement and said, "Two players run in a straight line, so the third person runs outside to form a triangle with him." The triangle is very popular in the Netherlands, and the most widely used so-called all-attack and all-defense is the triangle, because it is strong and sharp in graphic tactics, and can be attacked and defended. β
Fran's eyes, which had gradually followed Capello's train of thought, were brighter and brighter, but he thought to himself, why do you always study Dutch tactics as an Italian. It seems that this expression is too obvious, and Capello can also generously answer, "The last prosperous period of the Netherlands was the Dutch Three Musketeers, and that was the Three Musketeers of Milan, so it is natural to study it." β
"Actually, because it's you, I've seriously thought about countless possibilities for such an arrangement. But because it is you, there is a chance that these possibilities can be realized at the same time. All this is based on running, great useless running, which is fatal to many people, but you don't. I heard that you can't run to death, they call you 'Iron Man', isn't it because you have an 'Iron Lung'? Capello spread his hands out in front of him, "If we look at the midfield as a straight line and the midfielders as a few endpoints, most of the time we will choose to play the ball up front. But if you're the one at the back, you can form multiple 'triangles' with a few people in the midfield. Your task is no longer just to protect the midfield, but to give the midfielder more points to play. There are more passing options in the midfield, the success rate is high, and the field advantage is greater. After all, it's impossible to keep an eye on the striker, the midfielder and the defense at the same time, you have to run, you have to hold the ball well, and as for the success rate of the ball... Genius, you tell yourself that you are always right. β
The Italians countered him with Fran's exact words the other day.
*************************************************
Real Madrid's pre-match party is an unwritten convention. Raul brought together the players who will fight together in the new season in the name of captain, and also to facilitate communication between the players. And because they came from the academy and played for a long time, they were tasked with making their teammates get along as well as possible, which is why Raul repeatedly told Fran, who he didn't think was very reliable, not to be late.
When David Beckham was seen at the party, the Englishman looked extremely tired, to the point that even the best efforts to conceal it could make people see the clues. With the rise of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard in the national team, Beckham's position in the England team has been in jeopardy, but with the support of Eriksson, the problem can be covered up. But now with the arrival of England's new boss McClaren, Beckham has been excluded from the national team. This is probably the key reason why Beckham announced his withdrawal from the England team.
It's rare that Victoria wasn't in attendance, and Fran looks at the emaciated heartthrob with little to say but embarrassed and useless comfort. Ronaldo stood beside Fran with his wine glass, followed Fran's line of sight, and smacked his tongue. Fran heard the movement and turned his head to look at Ronaldo, "Got Ronnie, what do you have to say?" β
"I sometimes think, if I were more handsome, maybe it would be a lot easier to get to this point." Ronaldo and his brother put Fran on the shoulder, "But don't be handsome like David, really, if you don't have that face, his commercial value may be reduced, but his status and evaluation in the football world will only be higher." So, it would be nice if he was ugly. β
It's a strange argument that Forlan finds unrefuted, but no one can say which is important to Beckham, whether the commercial value or the footballing status is important. Maybe one day he will regret that 'it would be nice if I didn't take it like this at that time,' but after all, there is no turning back. "Really, if you look handsome and he looks ugly, both of you will save a lot of trouble."
"So, it's safest to grow up like you." Ronaldo jokingly exposed the stubble of Fang Cai's words and joked. Fran, who thought he was quite handsome, twitched the corner of his mouth, "What kind of adjective is it to look safe?" β
