"This is my defender's little cub, I can cover it myself."

After saying this, Forlan had already come to Marcelo's side, hooked the neck of his little teammate and walked to the position, ignoring the reaction of the fans around him. "That's the way this team is, it's easy to boo, but it's also easy to get them to like it. I can't hypocritically tell you that these boos were given to me by them, or by my opponents, and I don't think you will believe them. It's not realistic to make you fit in with the team and fit the manager's requirements all of a sudden, but at least you have to make sure that doesn't get knocked down and that's the first step to success. ”

The referee signaled for the game to continue, Forlan looked ahead vigilantly, and finally threw a sentence to Marcelo, "There are two achievements that can be really successful on this field, congratulations, you have achieved one of the achievements, and the next thing you need to look forward to is the cheers of the whole stadium." Trust me, it won't be too far off. ”

In the end, Real Madrid won a narrow 1-0 win at home, and after the game, reporters on the sidelines of the stadium interviewed the players directly, and Forlan covered the backline. He appeared absent-minded throughout, tacitly dismissed by most as anxiety about the team's prospects or grievances at home boos, but shy away from answering both types of questions. Eventually, he broke free from the interview circle, turned around and rolled back to the dressing room with a deliberate wink at Arnold Theodore.

Theodore fell silent after reading what Fran meant.

In the locker room, Casillas sat next to Marcelo and performed his duties as a guide, and Forlan pushed the door in, and the next moment his teammates looked up sharply. Fran patted his somewhat collapsed back and asked Casillas beside him, "Who are our opponents for the next five games?" ”

Cassie certainly felt that Forlan's question was a little strange, but he had given up on always following his friend's train of thought, and still took out his notepad and checked it to determine his answer, "Away against Real Sociedad, at home against Real Betis, away against Atletico Madrid, at home against Getafe..." ”

Opponents at the top of the league table look like only Barcelona, Getafe and Atletico Madrid are arguably in the middle of the most comfortable situation, while Real Sociedad and Betis are currently in the relegation zone and will fight for it, but there is still a gap in the team's strength on paper.

But the football game was undecided before the whistle blew up, and in Fran's opinion, it was not an easy schedule to play. But now he can only force himself to be stricter with himself, thinking so, he sent a number '5' to Theodore, who was waiting at the press conference. Theodore was a little confused at first when he read the text message, which was only one number, and he didn't quite understand what Fran meant. Thinking of the frowning and teasing he had just made, and the time when he had been worried about Fran's so-called 'future bet' for several months, Arnold Theodore may have been helpless by this man, and he couldn't think of a way to do anything but follow it.

So Marcelo, who watched the live broadcast of the press conference online, watched the battle between the club and the reporters with his mobile phone in the locker room, and Marcelo always felt that Forlan was planning to carry the pot. The bombardment of the reporters continued from all angles, and Franto leaned on the table without saying a word to listen to their questions and the prevarication of Capello next to him.

Theodore looked through the notes and homework he had done, frowned at Real Madrid's next schedule, circled Barcelona in five games, and had already guessed Forlan's intentions. Thinking like this, Theodore, who had been silent for most of the press conference, suddenly raised his hand, and everyone around him found that it was this peer who loved to fight with Francisco Álvarez, and they were waiting for him to rush forward like a good show.

Who would have thought that Theodore had just taken the microphone and before he could speak, Fran, who had been on standby, suddenly spoke, "I guess what you want to say is the same as all of them, in that case, I make a bet with you, in the next ten games, if Real Madrid's back line concedes a goal, even if I lose, how about it?" ”

Oh, this kind of déjà vu that I bet with you if I ignore everyone is so that everyone who was ignored by Fran just now simply ignored it, and they can't wait to come down for Theodore. Look at this fool, look at what this fool said? He thinks that he can keep a clean sheet in the next ten games instead of not losing a team, which is a tough thing in itself, let alone Real Madrid's current shaky backline. We admit that you are great, you can even become a recognized number one defender in the past two years, but you can't be so presumptuous, do you want to seriously trust Marcelo and Ramos, or do you want to push yourself to the brink? Say yes! He's like this, why don't you agree!

Theodore's whole person was also confused, and he really wanted to agree after a few struggles in his heart. He looked down at his notes and pretended to think, and finally calmed down a little before speaking, his voice was still 'excited' and a little trembling, "It's too embarrassing for you to ask you to not concede a goal in ten games," he almost felt the roar of his peers around him after he finished speaking, "It's all here, you don't care if you embarrass him', "That's it, from February 11 to March 11, the period of January, exactly five games, I don't mean to embarrass you." But what he was worried about was not that he would be slapped in the face, but that what would happen if the kid didn't do it.

The reporter with the newspaper next to him muttered a sentence that did not understand Theodore's concession at all, but turned to look at Theodore meaningfully when Theodore, who was handed over by him, said that the opponent of the cut-off fifth round match was Barcelona. Forlan sat on it and sighed, which can be regarded as a response, "That's okay, five rounds, but whenever Real Madrid loses a goal, I apologize in my personal name." "Alexander-Arnold is so good (^^*) Mainly, if I just say five games, it looks like I'm so cowardly.

You can't tell what Capello thinks of Fran's move from the look on his face, but in fact, although Fran promised a way to take everyone's attention off Ramos and Marcelo, Capello never expected him to make such a decision to use himself as a topic.

There was a moment of silence in the locker room when they heard Fran make a bet, and Carlos, who was also a defender for a long time, probably to liven up the atmosphere, said, "To be reasonable, this reporter is not easy." I'm always slapped in the face by Fran.,And always like to move forward.,I read his column comments and whatnot.,It's not personal and emotional.。 The reporter and a player have carried it to this point, this must be true love. ”

It was probably later that Forlan's image in sheepskin was automatically labeled as 'witty' by default, not that he was really provoked by the reporters to make this bet, but that it was regarded as his intention to forcibly draw everyone's attention away from the two defenders of Marcelo Ramos, which was a standard plan to protect the juniors. After all, Real Madrid's current form is really not very good, and not many people even Fran really believe that he can achieve it. Even if Theodore seems to be considerate of the difficulty, in reality the bad-eyed journalist knows that Barcelona, and especially Barcelona at Camp Nou, is the real highlight.

However, Theodore was a little wronged, in Forlan's view, these clean sheets are not only the performance on the court, but also the psychological pressure accumulated in each game, and he is worried that the bet of ten games is too big, and the longer the time is extended, the more difficult it will be. Marcelo didn't know, closed his phone and stared at the black screen in a daze, until Casillas patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't worry too much, that reporter is actually his own person." After saying that, he also made a zipper movement on his mouth.

"It doesn't look like it..."Marcelo really couldn't see that this-for-tat press conference was his own family, Cassie shrugged, he didn't really understand the logic of Mr. Reporter's transformation from black to black, but, "It's really his own person, Fran's friend." ”

Marcelo looked confused: I feel like you're making me laugh.

But no matter which mood prevailed in Marcelo's heart and gratitude at this time, he also reacquainted himself with Francisco Álvarez in another way. His success so far seems to have been exceptionally smooth, and if the growth path of countless superstars is assessed as 'unrepeatable', his success seems to be a 'within reach' model in the eyes of many. Fran's own complacent talent is not taken seriously, and more people think that he enjoys the decisive factor of 'luck'. But he took a few more steps beyond the reach of countless human beings, and reached the so-called 'more hard work, more perseverance can be achieved', but in fact, not many people can do it.

Speaking of which, I guess Raul Guticasi will find it funny, well, Marcelo thinks that Fran is actually quite charismatic.

Fran's bet, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is pushing himself to the cusp to protect the newcomer. Do journalists know? Of course, they even figured it out at the first time, but if they figured it out, they didn't have a grudge against them when they reported on Marcelo Ramos before, and now it's obvious that Fran's matter is more topical, even if they all understand what his purpose is, but what is it? The newspaper decisively abandoned the clinging to Real Madrid's small defenders and changed to the mode of watching the play together.

After all, a clean sheet requires not only a defender but also a goalkeeper, in fact, Casillas is very important in the bet. Five clean sheets don't sound like a long time, with 470 minutes in fact, Casillas' record for the longest non-scoring record exceeds that. But judging from the current Real Madrid team, just looking at the data of the last ten games, five wins, four losses and one draw, conceding eleven goals... Do you dare to say ten directly? If it weren't for the fact that the reporter wasn't so black-hearted, it would have been a crazy rhythm. Now it's not aimed at you, why do you insist on taking the pot on yourself?

But Fran, who is considered by many to be forcibly taking the pot, is staying in his own house at this moment to play face with old Mr. Alvarez, the central idea is, I don't care if you old guys booed others before, this time this young man has a bright future, I cover it, you can't boo, at least a large area of your die-hard area is not allowed to boo.

Anyway, there was no commotion, and it was impossible for the fans to make a fuss at home without a backbone, not to mention that many people in the neutral zone who came to watch the game just to show off their 'visit to the Bernabeu' were just making a fuss.

Old Al just wants to ask, baby, how do you see that his future is very good, can you tell your father to let your father palm his eyes? 166 Reading Network
