Chapter 35: The protagonist of the game

"Do it well, my family is looking forward to your future!" Kaka smiled at Zhang Yuan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Really?!" Zhang Yuan was curious, and then asked, "What do you think?"

"I think you might be a strong challenger to Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi!" Kaka said meaningfully.

"Haha, did you see the media report?!" Zhang Yuan laughed.

"Look, but they're them, I'm me! I think you can do it!" Kaka said, spreading his hands.

"You still don't want to look at those meaningless things!" Zhang Yuan persuaded.

Portuguese and Spanish are close relatives, those who know Portuguese can read Spanish articles very similarly, but those who know Spanish may not be able to read Portuguese articles, Kaka has no problem reading newspapers, presumably he will also read some negative news about him.

"It's boring! my heart is strong enough!" the gentle Kaka understood what Zhang Yuan meant, and gently tapped his heart with his hand.

Really?!Zhang Yuan expressed doubts in his heart.

He suddenly remembered a man Ibrahimovic, a man with a big heart.

went to Barcelona with a value of more than 60 million, and then in the blink of an eye, he waved his sleeves without taking away a cloud, and directly married AC Milan, and the buyout fee was more than 20 million euros? !

The value has fallen, the salary has fallen, try to ask who can make such a decision, but Ibrahimovic did it, and he went straight to the training and left.

The media all said that his Barcelona career was a failure, but so what, Ibrahimovic gave up on the so-called "proving himself", went his own way and let others say go.

Zhang Yuan thinks about Kaka's current situation, I'm afraid it's really a bit difficult to get Kaka to leave, even if Real Madrid wants to sell him, maybe he himself won't be happy to leave in this way.

The two chatted for a long time, and it was not until lunch at noon that Zhang Yuan returned to the training base of the Sports City from Kaka's residence.

When parting, Zhang Yuan said cautiously: "Good luck! Kaka! Forget the unpleasantness of the past, I hope you can come back with a stronger attitude! I am waiting for you!"

"Well, you behave, I'm really optimistic about you!" Kaka smacked Zhang Yuan's chest and laughed.

Seeing Zhang Yuan drive away, Kaka returned home with Caroline's support.

"You look a little lost!" Caroline said.

"He's young, he's better than I was back then, and I'm a little envious when I look at him! I don't know what I'm going to do in the future?!" Kaka sighed.

"Okay, now it's time to recuperate, don't worry about it for now, the child and I are by your side!" Caroline said softly.

On the way to the training base, Raiola called Zhang Yuan, and on the phone, Raiola told Zhang Yuan that he would come back to Madrid in the near future, one was to send things to Zhang Yuan, and the other was that there were some things that needed to be discussed with Zhang Yuan.

Since Zhang Yuan transferred to Real Madrid, Evelyn has not followed him, but stayed in Germany, Zhang Yuan has no personal assistant by his side, Raiola is busy and has no time to arrange, and has not sent a suitable candidate yet.

It is estimated that I have to find a personal assistant for Zhang Yuan this time, but fortunately, Zhang Yuan's private phone call is not known to the outside world, except for Real Madrid TV and several large Spanish media, he has not yet been interviewed, every time there is a so-called celebrity interview, Zhang Yuan deduces that the time schedule is not enough to refuse.

But this situation cannot be long-term, otherwise someone may smear it one day.

Jose Mourinho unexpectedly announced his squad and starting line-up for the game against Espanyol on the evening of 21 September after training, and Mourinho did not make any major changes compared to the previous game, except to replace Khedira with Las Diarra.

Now Real Madrid is not only seriously injured in the back line, but also in the midfield, Gago and Mohamed Diarra are all injured, Mourinho means that the recent schedule is more intensive, and rotation is still very necessary.

Some people are happy and some are disappointed, Zhang Yuan is very happy that he got the starting position, he knows very well that the first two games have moved Mourinho, and he can't wait to start every game.

Benzema is of course a disappointing man, he has been given the opportunity to be substituted and rotated in several games this season, so far the number of goals is still zero, the assists are also zero, Higuain has also scored and swiped assists, Benzema certainly wants to prove himself.

Di Maria is not much disappointed, he came to Real Madrid with the label of parallel import, he is more low-key, hoping to grasp the limited opportunities, step by step.

RCD Espanyol are a long-term relegation team and have been sitting around 10th in recent seasons, making it a bit difficult for them to compete for a European spot, but it will not be easy to get them relegated.

Of course, the thrill of the process is still possible, when the current manager Pochettino took over the Espanyol team in January 2009, the Spanish team was deep in the relegation zone at that time, but Pochettino's arrival has fished the team out of the abyss, and they finished the season with 47 points, ranking 12th, although they were only five points away from the relegation zone Getafe that season.

The following year, under Mauricio Pochettino, the Spaniard finished 10th.

Pochettino is only 38 years old at a young age, and he is still a bit immature in terms of coaching experience, for example, the Spaniards' team has not been able to find a consistent scorer since leaving Tamoudo, Pochettino's attacking adjustment is a little lacking, they only scored 29 goals last season, this number of goals can be called rare in the attack-based La Liga, and it is a miracle to be ranked 10th.

But the Spaniards did it, mainly because under Pochettino, they dared to fight, although the number of goals conceded was not small, but they were always trying to get points, others were not optimistic about them, they took a point, others were optimistic about them, they tried to get three points.

The Espanyol team can be said to have held on step by step to the tenth place and completed the relegation task ahead of schedule.

In the first three rounds of the season, they have already won 2 games, the good news is that they have scored a lot of goals, 4 goals, and the bad news is that they have conceded 5 goals and conceded goals in every game.

But the game did not belong to the two teams, but to the referee on the field, Gomez.

In this game, Gomez offended both teams, and in the 23rd minute, Marcelo burst into the box and was pulled to the ground by Garland, but instead of giving a penalty, Gomez awarded Marcelo a fake fall.

The Bernabeu fans booed, and then in the 27th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick hit the shoulder of the wall Luis Garcia and Gomez awarded a penalty.

This made the Espanyol players extremely unhappy, and Pochettino, who has always faced everyone with a gentle attitude, couldn't stand it, and danced and complained on the field.

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't waste such a chance, as the penalty was smashed to give Real Madrid a 1-0 lead at home to Espanyol.

Real Madrid's state is really bad, Zhang Yuan is relatively normal, and the other players are obviously not so in shape, fighting continuously, to be honest, very tired.

Jose Mourinho realised off the pitch that he should perhaps rotate more up front, such as Mesut Ozil and Gonzalo Higuain.

But even so, Real Madrid still has a certain advantage on the whole, and the Espanyol team is very active and hardworking, and in the case of inferior strength, fighting is a way out.

So it looks like Real Madrid has the advantage on the field, but the Espanyol team is not without opportunities, in addition to Luis Garcia is a Real Madrid youth product, Espanyol's current team Callejon is also a Real Madrid youth product.

The two of them were causing problems for Real Madrid, Callejon was a good runner and smart, and the Real Madrid player fouled him four times in the first half.

At halftime, Mourinho took Ozil very decisively, replaced Di Maria, and let Di Maria play the forward position, Zhang Yuan is still the right winger.

Callejon was still very active, which caused Pepe's displeasure, he was shown a yellow card for a malicious foul on Callejon in the 55th minute, and then only five minutes later he received a second yellow card for pulling Callejon, and as a result, Gomez was sent off with two yellows and one red.

At this time, the fans at Real Madrid's home stadium issued a "warm" boo, and the second yellow card was too harsh, after all, everyone was pulling, Pepe looked at Gomez's red card in disbelief, he shook his head with a wry smile and walked off the field. (To be continued.) )
