Forlan was not surprised by the decision. For defenders like them, in order to prevent accidental handball in the air, they will put their hands behind their backs unless they have to. And the reason why he spread his arms in the air during this save is undoubtedly a last resort.

With the game coming to an end, Carlo Ancelotti would not be too much of a threat if he played 10 against 11, and Forlan was always very confident that Casillas would save a penalty. A red card + penalty is not an exaggeration, but Juventus' defeat if the goal belonged to Real Madrid was almost a certainty.

A team like Juventus, who are good at defending, defended all the way with a one-goal lead, and it was not because Forlan didn't have confidence in the BBC to score two goals in the next five minutes, but because it was too difficult.

It's not so much a violation of competitive sportsmanship as it is a loophole in the rules of football. This kind of loophole has been drilled by Chiellini, Suarez has been drilled, and now Fran has encountered it, and there will still be people who will choose this way of sacrificing themselves to change the situation in the future.

Of course, this sacrifice can only be understood by some people on their own side, and the only thing left is to blame. And because it was not glamorous after all, even though most of the Meringe at the Bernabeu Stadium were grateful for his dedication, all that was left was a sparse applause for his departure.

Forlan, who was sent off the pitch with a red card, had to go back to the dressing room through the players' tunnel, and everything on the pitch from then on had nothing to do with him. For him, it's not really a question of athletic ethics, can it really affect the score, and even if Casillas saves the penalty, will he be able to beat Buffon in the penalty shoot-out?

He wants to never regret every decision he makes when it comes to football, and that's what he works hard to do.

Casillas 02 World Cup began to have a holy name, precisely because of his heroic performance in the World Cup. The young goalkeeper, who came to the position thanks to an injury to Canizares, saved three penalties against Ireland and almost single-handedly sent Spain to the quarter-finals of the World Cup in South Korea and Japan at the last minute. When the name of Igor Casillas was played on the big screen at Suwon Stadium, fans all over the world would know that the wonder boy who was born in Mostoples was not just lucky enough to win the Champions League at Real Madrid.

When Forlan watched the live broadcast of the game in the dressing room, he happened to see Casillas holding the penalty kick from Juventus tightly in his arms, and the Real Madrid fans in the stadium stood up and cheered for his crucial move, so that the score remained unchanged and the suspense remained in the penalty shootout.

Speaking of Casillas's good at saving points, we have to mention Buffon, who has the evaluation of 'not good at saving points'. However, in fact, the success rate of Buffon and Cassie in their careers is between the best, so there are actually other reasons for Buffon's statement.

Buffon, who is three years older than Casillas, has had several serious injuries compared to the Spaniard, in addition to his age. Injuries such as a severe shoulder dislocation caused by the collision with Kaka, a severe tear in the thigh muscle during the game, and a severe lumbar disc herniation 10 years later made him fall into a 'penalty fan period' for eight years from 03 to 11. Although the state has rebounded in the past two years, the success rate of the pounce has been greatly reduced.

In the end, Real Madrid and Juventus, Casillas and Buffon had the last laugh in the penalty shootout.

"The two sides of the 1415 Champions League final have appeared, another title race between Barcelona and Real Madrid!"

It's just that all of this has little to do with Fran.

————

The 1415 season ended in full, with Real Madrid missing out on the league title by one point behind Barcelona and losing 0-2 to Barcelona in the Champions League final.

After Real Madrid eliminated Juventus, Forlan's red dot has been widely controversial, and Juventus, as the only seedling of Serie A, has unanimously criticized Forlan's move. Real Madrid lost in the final, a result that made Italy rejoice as if they had won the Champions League.

Fran was silent about the incident, neither clarifying nor apologizing for himself. After the team disbanded at the end of the season, he stayed at home to relieve the huge pressure that this season brought to him.

But for some players and agents, the so-called summer break is still a battle of wits and courage.

Of course, Carvajal, who is on the verge of being a great enemy, and Fran, who is bored to eat melons and watch the show, are a pair of different pairs.

Anyone who follows Fran knows that although he is no longer as exaggerated as he was at his peak, he is still a strong defender. Good defenders on the football field are really scarce, not to mention the fact that experienced players such as Fran can give a lot of guidance to newcomers and avoid many detours.

Everyone knows that Real Madrid's corners are not easy to dig, especially this die-hard who has always played for Real Madrid. But who said that Real Madrid's contract with Forlan only has one year left?

Carvajal felt pain when he looked at the offers from the Premier League, the Bundesliga, the French league and even the major leagues in the United States, how much commission he could get if they came true. But Carvajal understands that Forlan only wants to achieve the same path as Real Madrid, so all the quotes, salaries and commissions are meaningless.

Real Madrid also don't want Forlan to leave, and the team's feat means a lot at the back, neither Ramos, nor Marcelo, nor even Raphael Varane, who could be his successor, to take his place yet. A contract extension is a certainty, and now the club is struggling with Carvajal over Forlan's salary.

Forlan's contract was re-signed after Euro 2012, when Sweden's vice-captain, who won the tournament, was in the limelight and was almost unbeatable at his prime. In order to ensure the balance of salaries, his salary was lower than that of Cristiano Rocca and Cassie at the time, but this is already a high number for a defender.

If you want to renew the contract, the salary will be discounted, which is also the consensus of both parties, and the only question is what the final figure will be.

Carvajal knew that Fran didn't take anything seriously about it, but he had to explain it to Fran anyway. The two sides began to fight after the end of the season, and after discussing it a few times, Real Madrid relaxed its attitude, and Carvajal also happily said to Forlan, "It is estimated that the club has not found any good defenders in European football, and the conditions are much more relaxed during this negotiation." ”

"There should be a number of rookie defenders on this side..."Forlan's expression changed slightly when he heard Carvajal's words, and the whole person sat upright from the sofa. Carvajal was stunned, understanding that as Forlan said, Real Madrid really wanted to take money and smash it until the end of the transfer period, and there was no reason to give up the offensive so quickly.

Fran reached for his phone, rummaged through the phone book and picked out the phone, but hesitated for a long time but couldn't make a call. Carvajal saw that he already knew the reason, and he scratched his heart and wanted him to tell himself the reason so that he could take follow-up actions. I only heard Forlan chuckle, "Probably because I am reluctant to be the vice-captain of Real Madrid." ”

Carvajal instantly understood what Forlan meant, and guessed which player Forlan wanted to call him to. Unlike Casillas, who took over the captaincy of Real Madrid after the departure of both Raul Guti, Cassie had begun to gradually get involved in the captaincy in the previous season or two, which was almost seamless. But now the third captain of the Real Madrid team, Ramos, always feels a little immature, although no one can say what it will be like for him to really take over the captain of Real Madrid, but this is a gamble after all.

Under what circumstances will Real Madrid be reluctant to give up Forlan's 'vice-captain'?

Of course, Real Madrid has 'gone' Casillas, the 'captain'.

Fran held his phone and stared at the dark screen of his phone in contemplation, and said to Carvajal for a while, "Negotiations have been suspended, and the contract will not be renewed." ”

"I think so, now Real Madrid wants to renew your contract, the more conditions will be..."Carvajal muttered, but the more he said it, the more he felt that it was wrong, these interests were his own considerations, where did Forlan have the leisure to care about these?

Sure enough, Fran looked up at Carvajal, "The contract is not renewed, and the end of the summer break will not be renewed." ”

“... Do you want a free transfer?" asked Carvajal even if there was even the slightest possibility.

Fran pursed her lips and said nothing more.

——————

Casillas was packing his belongings at home, Madrid was his home, and he had no intention of selling his house, but he also had to pack his things so that he could go to Porto to live. His girlfriend Sara didn't say much after learning of his decision, and gave up her job in Spain to follow him to Portugal to continue the struggle.

The doorbell rang and Sara brought visitors in through the door, and Cassie didn't feel strange when he turned his head to see that it was Fran.

Although the two people living next to each other have not been guests in each other's homes for such an intimate act for a long time.

Sara saw that Fran had something to say to Igor, and Sarah, who had been a little unpleasant before, went upstairs to leave the conversation space for the two men. The couch was full of clutter except where Cassie was sitting, but Fran didn't care about anything, and found a place on the floor to sit on the floor.

"What's wrong? You look like you're tired, scolded by the Italian fans?" Casillas understood that Forlan would come, presumably because he had gotten some news. When he blurted out his teasing, he was still a little stunned, and he always felt that this way of talking reminded him of the most uncherished past.

"People can only be loved by people in a small circle, and ignored or hated by people in a larger circle. Fran shrugged indifferently, as he said he didn't take it to heart, "There is only a position, how can it be good or bad?"

Casillas understood it all, but he still couldn't ignore the gossip. Maybe the two of them haven't changed since they were children, and they are still like the comments in the youth training - Casillas is not afraid of pain, and Alvarez is not afraid of scolding.

Thinking of the joking comment, Casillas sat on the couch and looked at Fran's position, bowed his head and smiled. In fact, he understands the truth, but if he can't turn a blind eye to it, what can he do?

All affection is life and death, and all the aura is only crowned to this position. This has always been the case in the field of competitive sports, and it has never changed.

Casillas's transfer is more dominated by his desire to leave, he wants to go to another club to prove his strength, but this proves that he does not mean that he wants to win, "Athletes, just desperately fight a tough battle with time, I don't want to win, who can win time? ”

Who has ever won time?

"I'm not afraid of being poor, I'm not afraid of being lonely, and I find that I'm still afraid of getting old. Forlan thinks that he and Casillas are actually pitiful and cute, whether it is his crazy attempt to transform, or Cassie's obsessive obsession with the starting goalkeeper position, they just don't want to be eliminated by this green field.

"The real enemy of athletes, time. Cassie's smile was a little helpless, and he no longer had the vigor to win the tenth crown of Real Madrid when he first became the captain of Real Madrid, "I always feel that my IQ seems to be able to deal with all the conflicts that will occur on the football field, but unfortunately not, the sum of IQ, EQ and ball quotient is not enough to calm down the decadence caused by aging." ”

"So you're resigned, admit you're old?" said Fran, his voice a little hoarse, his head hanging so that he couldn't see the emotion in his eyes. Casillas shook his head, as if he was explaining to Fran and convincing himself, "I admit I'm old, but I haven't resigned myself yet." Because now that I've accepted my fate, I'm just losing on my knees. ”

Whether he's or Raul, in fact, they're probably just just not resigned to their fate.

"Don't just talk about me, talk about you, Fran. Casillas didn't want to talk about the issue they were destined to change, "Aren't you sad when your fans scold and criticize you?"

"It's inevitable to be sad, but it's not a big deal, like. Fran rubbed his fingers, "I always feel that when my fans can only say: how he used to be untouched, how far he used to run per game, how he used to block so-and-so without a ball point." It's time for me to retire. ”

Fran looked up with a silly smile as he spoke, and he grabbed his hair, "Seriously, I don't need the fans to love me with perseverance, feelings, morality, and responsibility. Then I'd be too much of a failure. ”

In Fran's opinion, if you like him, it's because his current game matches your liking. If you can only lament his aging because of his former glory, then it is time for him to retire.

The two of them had always been very different people, Casillas thought so, and he just got up from the couch and took two steps to sit side by side on the floor next to Fran. Both men looked straight ahead, a future unknown to each other, and Cassie muttered, "I'm leaving, leaving Madrid, leaving La Liga, leaving you." Who knows if I'll ever be able to come back, I don't know. But forget it, let's talk about it then. ”

"After that, who will provide for me?"

Fran's soft whisper rang to Casillas's ears, bringing tears to Cassie's eyes. He remembered a joke from his youth that he would build another bungalow for Fran next to the garage of his family after he got married. In order to provide for Fran in his old age, he could only give birth to a boy and a girl, and then choose an obedient, sensible and likable person to go to college.

In fact, they have not forgotten everything.

At that time they were high-spirited, at that time they walked side by side, at that time they shared the wind and rain.

What's more, at that time, they were two fools with the idea of innocence for a lifetime.

Casillas thought to himself, how did he turn his words into a sharp knife and stab Fran again and again? He had seen Fran's most bewildered and unscrupulous appearance early in the morning, and he had also seen him cry and cry in turn, just to make his heart soft.

Isn't this person like that, he has no psychological baggage and can sit on the ground at any time, and if he says no, you have to help me.

Igor, you have to help me.

Now, Casillas didn't want to be obsessed anymore and chose another path. But he understands that it takes more courage to hold on until the last moment than to leave at the top. He already knew that even if he was not satisfied with yesterday's self, he was still better than today's self, and he was afraid to even open his eyes.

Fran clearly recognized the status quo and still chose to persevere. Just as he has clearly recognized the club of Real Madrid, he is still deeply fascinated. There is only one kind of heroism, which is to still love life after recognizing the truth of life.

"You're not a dreamer," Casillas sighed, "you're a hero. ”

Fran couldn't help but laugh when he heard Cassie's comment, Cassie looked sideways at him, and the man who had always been used to smiling a little bit less wickedly showed that familiar but long-lost expression, and he said, "You go, don't let it go..."

He sat on the floor of the villa, as if he were rolling at the Bernabeu, "I'll watch it for you, watch it carefully, and wait for you to come back." ”

"After so many years, there has to be a Real Madrid man who has been retiring here... Otherwise, how can there be so many fools who have the idea of innocence for a lifetime?"

The author has something to say: I actually felt a lot after writing this chapter, so I'll stay and talk about it in the finale.

Forlan said he was a dreamer when he first broke into the first team.

But Lennon said, you say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. Probably lamenting how many dreamers there are in the world, whether they are themselves or others, they are not special.

So it's not really a dreamer's story, I think maybe he's a hero.
