If Chu Ge was allowed to choose by himself, he would definitely want to start both games.

Hames?

I don't care who he is.

However, Chu Ge himself knew that this was unrealistic.

Zidane was Chu Ge's mentor, and he knew and trusted Chu Ge.

But Zidane is not the Zidane of Chu Ge alone.

After becoming the manager of Real Madrid, Zidane is responsible for the entire team.

James Rodriguez is the winner of the last World Cup Golden Ball, a player that Real Madrid bought for a huge sum of 80 million euros, and has a high popularity in Real Madrid and around the world. And James has publicly stated that his favorite football idol is Zinedine Zidane.

For such a star player, Zidane could not have failed to give him a chance.

If he really doesn't even give him a chance to try, and directly puts James into the cold, he is afraid that the team's locker room will have problems.

The management of the team must not be capricious in many cases, and must be disciplined and rewarded and punished, only in this way can the prestige of the coach be established.

Moreover, that is, Zidane, dared to let James be a substitute.

If he were to change to another coach, he would probably give the starting position to James directly, and Chu Ge would continue to participate in the rotation.

Being able to compete fairly for the team position, this is what Chu Ge wants.

Bale was left with a winger position, which is what Chu Ge does best. If Chu Ge did not have the confidence to compete with James who played as a guest winger in this position, he would not have chosen to transfer to Real Madrid in the first place.

James hasn't been in great form this season.

Chu Ge is confident that he can do better than the Colombia international and better fit Zidane's requirements for this position.

"One more thing. The team doctor provided me with your physical condition report. ”

"In the first half of the year, Inter Milan overused you and your body was already showing some signs of fatigue. Therefore, you must have a check-up before and after each league game, so that the staff can keep track of your physical condition and avoid injuries. ”

In the end, Zidane did not forget to advise.

Chu Ge nodded.

If he could, he would want to play every game and he would like to play the full 90 minutes.

But......

"Stinky boy, don't keep a straight face, it's for your own good. When you're still growing your body, overuse can affect your career for the rest of your life, you know? Zidane touched Chu Ge's head.

Chu Ge hurriedly dodged, "Understood, coach, don't touch my head, I'll be as bald as you." ”

Zidane: (σ'д′) σ

……

An interesting thing happened the next day of training.

When Ronaldo practiced free-kicks, Zidane walked over with a smile.

"Cristiano, you can't play like this. Do you want to learn from me? ”

"Learn from you from a free kick? Yes, if you win me, I'll learn from you. ”

Cristiano Ronaldo is a character who does not admit defeat, even when facing his top boss Zinedine Zidane.

"Okay!"

Zidane happily agreed.

This time, the interest of the Real Madrid players came.

Everyone knows that when Zidane plays, he is a superstar-level player, and his free kick skills are very good. However, after all, this bald head has been retired for a long time.

Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick ability is very strong.

Zidane has been retired for so long, and he still has to compete with Ronaldo for free kicks, who will be better?

The players gathered around.

Then it's time to witness the miracle.

The two sides agreed to throw 10 goals each, put them in different positions, and at different angles, and put the football into the small goal.

Whoever scores the most goals wins.

The results of the competition were surprising.

Zinedine Zidane almost hit all of them, while Ronaldo scored only two.

Unlike Ronaldo's power kick, Zidane is all curling balls and is very accurate.

Seeing such a result, the whole Real Madrid team was stunned and shouted for me to kneel down.

Ronaldo did not expect such a result, he was surprised for a moment, and did not get angry, but carried Zidane around the field on his shoulder to celebrate the manager's victory.

I thought that Benitez also wanted to guide Ronaldo to take a free kick, but he was mercilessly scolded back by Ronaldo. Now it is Zidane's turn, Zidane didn't say a word, and directly operated it himself, and "abused" Ronaldo.

This may be the best example of u can u up, no can no bb.

Zizou said: When it comes to playing football, I'm not targeting anyone......

After coaching Ronaldo's free kick, Zidane also went off the field in person and took all the players of the team to train their physical fitness together. He led by example, and together with all the Real Madrid players, he underwent a series of high-intensity exercises at four training venues.

The managers have worked so hard, what else can the players say.

With Zidane as the core, hold high the banner of hard training, give full play to the spirit of not being afraid of hardships and hard work, and implement the team's training plan to the end.

When the photos of Zidane leading the team to participate in physical training were posted on the Internet, many fans were sighing that if Zidane had trained his physical fitness, maybe he could go directly to the game and personally demonstrate what a master midfielder is......

In this way, Zidane is slowly influencing the entire team with his temperament.

The players were more convinced of him.

In today's training, previously injured Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos also joined the training.

The only absentee from the team's training session was Friend of Flounder, Bale.

……

January 24th.

Match day.

Chu Ge and his teammates traveled to Seville, the capital of Andalusia, Spain.

In this round, Real Madrid's opponent, Real Betis, is a team based in Sevilla. Betis' home stadium is the Stadio Lopera, which has a capacity of 52,500 and is one of nine teams in La Liga to have won the La Liga title.

Betis won the La Liga title last season and are back in La Liga this season.

They currently sit 14th in the standings with 21 league points from 20 league games.

In this game, because of Bale's absence, Zidane temporarily adjusted the formation slightly.

Real Madrid put on an asymmetrical 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

Four defenders from left to right: Marcelo, Pepe, Raphael Varane, Danilo.

Midfielders: Kroos and Luka Modric.

Isco played as a left wing-back and James as a right-wing-back.

The two strikers are Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema.

Because James is not an orthodox winger, in order to make up for the attack on the right side, Zidane sent Danilo, who has more assist ability, instead of Carvajal, who has been starting before.

It was also Danilo's first appearance since the change of manager.

Chu Ge was on the team's bench alongside Mateo Kovacic, Casemiro, Carvajal and others.

Perhaps the reason why they have failed to win in 10 games, Betis have been particularly aggressive in this game, and they have entered the game faster than Real Madrid.
