231, honest Isco and Kovacic
Belbelius muscle injury and recovery.
Now Marcelo is injured again.
Two players who are good at advancing with the ball have been injured one after another, and Zidane is a little panicked.
He began to worry about more injuries in the team.
How Ancelotti collapsed, Zidane knows very well. He can't afford to repeat Ancelotti's mistakes.
On 12 February, after training for the Athletic Bilbao team, Zidane called all the players for a brief meeting.
'The good days of one game a week are behind us and we're going to have a double game of the Champions League and La Liga.
"In order to avoid fitness problems and to prevent injuries, I decided to rotate for the rest of the game. I'd like to ask you what you think. β
Zidane openly put the issue on the table and discussed it together.
With that, he looked at Isco first.
Isco, who moved to Real Madrid in 2013 and has been with the club for two and a half years this year, is a member of the Spanish national team and has a good relationship with the Spanish players in the team, as well as his personal ability and the trust of his team-mates.
Under previous managers, Isco failed to play in the main team.
The first thing Zidane did after his arrival was to stabilize Isco's position and give him consistent playing time.
When Isco saw Zidane looking at him, he immediately understood that the time had come for him to show his consciousness.
"I'm fine, I'm strongly in favor of the coach's arrangement. In the next game, I'm willing to sit on the bench and leave the opportunity to my teammates. Everything is in accordance with the manager's arrangement. β
As soon as Isco's words fell, Zidane stroked his hands and laughed.
"Well, I like a player like you who has a high level of awareness."
"Now I announce that Kovacic will start for the next game to replace Isco. The appearance of the others is still the same. Meeting! β
After speaking, Zidane left the table for the first time with a spring breeze on his face.
Then, the other players left.
The bearded Isco's eyes widened, and he looked left and right as his teammates laughed and dispersed.
Meow meow?
I'm the only one who rotates the co-authorship......
Isco looked confused.
β¦β¦
Kovacic was very happy and after waiting a long time, Zidane finally gave him the chance to start.
"I must make the most of this opportunity."
Kovacic secretly clenched his fists and glanced at Chu Ge, who was walking in front.
Like Chu Ge, Kovacic also moved to Real Madrid from Inter Milan.
Chu Ge came to the team half a year later than him.
However, in terms of team status, Chu Ge is much higher than him.
At Real Madrid, all teammates know that in every game, whether it is a starter or a substitute, as long as there is an opportunity, Zidane will always let Chu Ge play.
This is simply the treatment of a son.
Especially after Bale's injury, Chu Ge's playing time made Kovacic look red.
Finally getting a chance to start, Kovacic decided to learn from Chu Ge.
"Hey!" Kovacic quickened his pace, caught up with Chu Ge in three or two steps, and patted him on the shoulder.
Chu Ge glanced back, a little surprised, "Mateo (Kovacic), do you have something to do with me?" β
Kovacic thought about it for a moment and decided to get to the point first, "You just lowered your head, did you have something on your mind?" β
"Ah," Chu Ge nodded, "Isn't this the Year of the Monkey in our country's zodiac?" Bell asked me the other day for a picture of the Chinese character 'monkey'. I gave him a 'monkey' character with a monkey's head. He liked it very much, and also posted it on his Twitter, wishing him a smooth Year of the Monkey, and at the same time wishing the fans in Huaxia a New Year. β
"I'm just thinking about one thing, does Bell really think he looks like a monkey?"
Isn't this topic too outlined?
I understand every word you say, so why can't I understand it when we put it together?
Kovacic scratched his head, "Haha. This...... I don't know. β
He didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Oh." Chu Ge nodded, "I'll ask him again when I go back." By the way, are you looking for me? β
"Hmm."
Kovacic decided not to go around in circles, lest he be confused.
"That's right. Haven't you been playing a lot of games consistently lately? And there is a lot of playing time. I would like to ask you, how can the members of the new players have more consistent playing time like you? β
Kovacic sincerely asked.
"Didn't you just join the team? You've been here for more than half a year. Chu Ge was surprised.
"Ahem, don't worry about the details." Kovacic blushed.
"It's actually quite simple. Just like me, you just need to score more goals. If you don't score one, you can score two, if you can't score two, you can score three, and if you score more goals, the manager will naturally give you more game time. β
Chu Ge said as a matter of course.
Kovacic's eyes darkened, and he thought: Then I'm done, I've been here for most of the year, and I've scored a total of one goal, and I'm still playing against a low-level team like Malmo, no wonder the manager doesn't like to use me......
A good midfielder, he was led astray by Chu Ge.
"Don't listen to him, Matteo." Modric quickly patted Kovacic on the shoulder.
'We're midfielders, how can we always think about scoring goals.'
He refuted Chu Ge's claims and brought back the lost little lamb from the wrong path.
"So what should I do?"
Kovacic looked at Modric with tears in his eyes.
Luka Modric is the eldest brother of Kovacic's national team and his idol.
At this time, the correct guidance of idols is needed.
Modric grabbed Kovacic's waist and said easily: "It's actually very simple, when I can't run, you will naturally become the main force." β
Kovacic thought to himself, then I'm afraid I'll have to talk to De Rossi first......
February 13th.
The twenty-fourth round of La Liga has officially begun.
Real Madrid's opponent in this match is Athletic Bilbao, who are in seventh place in the standings.
The Santiago Bernabeu continued to maintain a high attendance rate, with more than 70,000 fans in attendance.
Carvajal picked up a minor injury in his last game and recovered well ahead of this game. Due to Marcelo's injury, Carvajal played on the left wing of the game, and on the right side was the favorite Dani missing the start.
Chu Ge started the game for 45 minutes before being replaced by James James.
With the Champions League coming up in four days, Zinedine Zidane had reservations for the game. Not only did Chu Ge only play half the game, but Modric was also replaced by Isco after only mentioning half time.
When Chu Ge was there, Danilo had someone to fill in, and his performance was not too bad.
But after Chu Ge left the game, Danilo turned into Dani leak again, which gave Zidane a headache. Therefore, for this third substitution, he replaced Danilo with Nacho.
In this game, Real Madrid won the game 3:1 in the first half, 1:1 in the second half, and the aggregate score was 4:2.
