172 chapter 172

Before the start of this season, the news that Ramos was the captain of Real Madrid made many people cry, but Ramos did not give a very reliable impression in the past, unlike the trust brought by Raul or Cassie at the beginning, if I had to say, he was more like Guti or Forlan as the vice-captain of the internal adjustment team. This article is written by: Starting

But in the first half of the season, Ramos actually did a good job of captaining Real Madrid, and it is clear that he has a very different style from Casillas, and sometimes he is much tougher. Most people have become accustomed to Ramos in the middle of Benitez's tenure, and at this time, it is just a change of coach in the middle of the season, and a change of captain in the middle of the season?

Most people think that Zidane's actions are actually like a dream come true. Whether it's for Forlan, for the dreams of many of the old Real Madrid, or for Zidane himself, no one can say.

There are also people who think that Ramos is not worth it, and that taking off the captain's armband without any big mistake is easy to affect the internal relationship of the player. Not to mention that it's hard to say who is the real number one centre-back in European football these days, but Ramos can undoubtedly have a place. Deliberately promoted Fran to be captain for a period of time and then transferred back to Ramos? Does it make sense?

Although Real Madrid have been a two-centre-back combination for many years, it seems that Forlan and Ramos do not clash in their positions. But it doesn't stop the fans of the two of them from entangled with each other... Well, maybe it's a question of who's up and who's down.

Seeing Real Madrid play as always, other fans just want to snort coldly: Ramos sprayed Ramos before the season, and Forlan sprayed Zidane (Zidane: ??? Can you be less routine and more sincere?

Perhaps in return for Fran's clarification before the season, Ramos also tweeted the day after the news came out, saying that the club fully agreed with the decision after consulting with him. I don't know where to drag a few words, [True heroes often have the tragic meaning of sowing seeds, but not participating in the harvest. They go through hardships, and we gain glory. 】

Fran saw these words on his phone when he was bored in the locker room, and he looked at Ramos, who was gagging with his teammates, and raised an eyebrow, "Sese, I'm not as pathetic as you say, am I?" "What is this for, Lao Tzu has won the Champions League, and even led the Swedish team to win the European Cup and the Silver Ball, I feel that my personal achievements have been piled up so much, as for one or two, are they crying for me?

Zidane and Ramos, who cried for him, touched Forlan a lot, and he took the position of Real Madrid captain very seriously at the beginning, but it was not young at that time. However, although he does not have much pursuit of this position, he still has to receive his good intentions after all.

Zidane's first home club after Zidane took office was Deportivo La Coruna, and unlike Benitez's Real Madrid, who was crushed by the straw of a 2-2 draw away from Valencia, Bale scored a hat trick, Benzema scored twice, Ronaldo assisted twice, and the BBC was full of firepower to create a 5-0 score.

Forlan, who used to be vice-captain, did not captain the team when Casillas was not present, especially when Casillas and Mourinho hurt each other, and Forlan hung the captain's armband for a long time. But this time it was a different feeling, after the game, Forlan, who was customary to thank the fans as captain, received a tidal round of applause from the entire Bernabeu stadium, and the sound lingered in the stadium, Ramos pushed Forlan's back, and Forlan grinned as he watched the fans in white jerseys in the stands stand and never left.

He looked in the direction of the South Stand and found Mr. Alvarez Sr., who was waving at Fran with one hand on his waist and the other, as if he wanted the world to know that it was his son in the stadium. The friend who was next to him couldn't stand it anymore and took the lead in booing him, "Why don't you tell everyone how much you wanted to send him to Tenerife or Malaga in the first place?" ”

"It turns out that I was right, my son can be very much like Redondo!" Old Alhaha laughed, not ashamed, but proud.

In fact, Fran, who has gradually transformed successfully, although he is a bit of a miniature of Redondo in the card position and prediction, is actually very different from the Argentine elegant master. But his defensive restraint did not reduce the success rate, which is also a fact that has to be admitted.

Fran was still trying his best to thank the fans, but he didn't expect the fans to be excited for a long time. Ramos put his arm around Fran's shoulder and smiled, "What does it feel?" The defender Little Prince felt that Fran would also express a wave of gratitude to himself.

Who would have thought that Fran smacked his lips, "Hey, it's a little regret that I didn't directly compete with Igor for the captain in the first place!" He laughed and hugged Ramos back to express his intimacy.

Real Madrid's game is still going on, and the points gap between them and Barcelona in the league is difficult for most Meilinger players to catch up. What's more, Zidane had a poor record at Castilla before, and he always looked like a half-way firefighting coach. It just so happened that the Copa del Rey had been eliminated early, and in terms of the league and the Champions League, one by one they bet angrily that 'Real Madrid has a champion this season, I will draw 50 slaps live and eat the keyboard', and even Ji Yi secretly poked and poked on the Internet and said that he was waiting for Zidane to slap his face.

However, Real Madrid really stumbled to reach the last four of the Champions League again, and the gap between Barcelona and Barcelona in the league was reduced to just two points.

"Real Madrid sent Qi Lao Dao who participated in Zen and Fu Lao Demon who cultivated immortals as a last resort, and we still underestimated the ability of these two treasures of the town team."

"Wait, wait, I have a question, what is this kick? Why did you score a goal out of nowhere? Why wasn't Forlan inexplicably showing up on the ball and ruining the attack, or Keylor Navas opening up and saving the goal? ”

"It's said that Navas is open, and your family can shine all season? Isn't it good to call 'Na Daddy' obediently? ”

Everyone looked at the Real Madrid team led by Zidane, who had taken office as a 'temporary firefighter', and was amazed.

Carvajal saw that Forlan has been performing exceptionally well recently, and planned to arrange an exclusive interview for Forlan, of course, if the interviewer was a pro-Real Madrid reporter, he looked for a big circle of Carvajal or felt that he was not a fan of Forlan or felt that the other party had little influence, and finally looked at Fran's face and was stunned for a few seconds, and patted his thigh, "How did I forget him!" ”

Fran, who had just come out of the gym, looked at Carvajal's suddenly shining eyes, "Oh, you're looking for Arnold?" There was no need for Carvajal to say anything, and Forlan could have guessed who Carvajal was interested in. Carvajal gritted his teeth and glared at him, as if to ask him, why bother thinking about it when he had a candidate?

Eventually, this official interview, conducted by Arnold Theodore, was published in the column under the headline "Actually, We Are Not Enemies."

As many people know, I've been following Forlan since he first came into the first team. Over the years, I always seemed to appear as a kind of villain who was hostile to him, when in reality we were never enemies.

When I learned that I had been given the opportunity to interview Fran, I felt that the first question I would ask must have left Fran, who was always a winner between the two of us, unprepared. My assistant reminded me and asked me to ask: 'If you had chosen Malaga, what kind of star would you have been?' ’

This problem is actually not very unusual, many people think that Forlan will not be unknown no matter which club he changes to, and it can be seen from the endless brilliance that he can show under the core player of the Swedish team, and it can be seen that in another location, maybe his brilliance will fully bloom, not like now, it will look dim under the light of a superstar, and finally he can only rotate and maybe even survive on the bench until retirement.

But I can almost imagine his answer, maybe you are right, but it is not Real Madrid.

So the first question I chose when I finally met him was, 'I've heard people say, 'You compare football to a battle?' ’

Fran was slightly stunned, as if he didn't know who would mention these things to a reporter like me. Caught off guard, Fran could only smile awkwardly and keep telling me that football is as cruel as battle. His failure to speak eloquently gave me the illusion of victory, and at that time I was so complacent that I forgot the truth that happiness begets sorrow, and asked the second question.

'Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid are getting more and more successful, what do you think you will be in this team next season?' Main, rotation or substitution? ’

He looked at me and smiled, and that smile reminded me that I was just a young reporter at Marca newspaper who had just turned from an internship, and I was often at a disadvantage in dealing with him and was forced to regroup again and again. If I had to grow in the years that followed, Francisco Álvarez would have been indebted.

'I hope Rafael can replace me with this team by then, and I kid you not, that's what I want to see.' Fran said.

'I'll probably be eliminated by then, and in this battle,' he said as he emphasized 'battle,' he smiled at me deliberately, 'if I become insignificant and not very incompetent, I'm probably going to be eliminated.' ’

You're saying that at the end of the season, you finally decided to transfer?

I mean, at the end of the season, I finally decided to retire.

Theodore's report came out, and there was a lot of reaction to Forlan's personal admission that he was retiring at the end of the season. In fact, most people would agree with Theodore on the same page as Theodore in his belief that he would leave Real Madrid for a more relaxed club and spend the next few years of his career. But he obviously didn't, and since he said 'retirement', it was obvious that he had already made a decision.

Everyone knows that he can't continue to play, and entering the transfer market in his current form will have a lot of trade intentions in front of Real Madrid. When he didn't renew his contract at the beginning of the season, many people speculated whether he would be free to transfer at the end of the season, but there is obviously another possibility, and that is to retire directly when the contract expires.

And not long after Fran revealed the news of his retirement, there was a famous star in the sports circle who really retired.

On April 14, 2016, Kobe Bryant retired.

The farewell ceremony of the heroes in basketball always has to be a tsunami, always have to be full of merits, and always have to be surrounded by tens of millions of people like a monarch, as if the opponent wants to watch you continue to score 81 points at the last moment.

Full of ritual.

Many Fran fans also hoped that he would be honored and wear the MVP title to say goodbye to the stadium with pride, but in the end, it was just a thought and did not report much expectations.

In the world of football, Ronaldo's farewell game in the league will not score a hat-trick, Beckham's curtain call is not the full moon scimitar of the Champions League, and Gerrard's last league game for Liverpool is even more embarrassing. Zidane's final battle was full of stories, but it was full of regrets, and he was not destined to be a winner in that one.

It seems that there has never been so much sense of ritual and grandeur in this world, and some are mostly silently withered veterans and lonely backs.

Why do people worship athletes? I suddenly remembered that sentence, in our time, there is no world war, no economic depression, only jobs and TV commercials, but peace has never come to our hearts, our war is the struggle in our hearts.

Football has never been a game, yes, my hero is just a footballer. 】
