Chapter Twenty-One: I'm Back!

Madrid at night, brightly lit.

At the Bernabeu Stadium, it was a scene of hustle and bustle.

The final round of the group stage of the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League, the final match of Group C, is being played out fiercely at the Bernabeu Stadium.

The game was already in the 80th minute, the score was 2:1, Real Madrid was beaten by the away team Marseille first, Cristiano Ronaldo and Raul scored a goal each to exceed the score.

If there are no big surprises, Real Madrid, who have the upper hand on the pitch at the moment, will win the eventually.

In fact, this game has nothing to do with the overall situation, in the past five rounds of the group stage, Real Madrid has three wins, one draw and one loss, a total of ten points, temporarily ranked first in the group, two points ahead of the second-placed AC Milan, the last round of the group stage, even if they lose, they will successfully break out of the group, the difference is only the first or second.

Of course, it is naturally better to be able to get the top spot in the group.

The fans were cheering and the Bernabeu was noisy and noisy.

In the midst of such a voice, Fan Bizhuang, who was sitting on the bench watching the game intently, heard someone calling his name.

"Fan!"

"Fan!!"

"What are you still sitting for? Get up, get up! Hurry up and warm up! You're about to play! ”

A bald man in a sports uniform yelled in the direction of the bench, and he is one of Pellegrini's current assistants, called Calles.

Fan Bizhuang nodded, without any words, got up, put on his vest, and prepared to run out to warm up.

"Fan!"

Kaka, who was beside him, suddenly stopped him.

Fan Bizhuang looked back at him.

"Have faith?"

Fan Bizhuang just looked at him and didn't speak.

"Well, good luck. Come on! ”

Fan Bizhuang finally spoke: "Thank you." ”

Then he ran away.

Looking at the distant figure and remembering the scene in the training match two days ago, Kaka slowly exhaled: "This guy seems to be really...... It's different. ”

……

Three minutes later, Fan Bizhuang was standing on the sidelines. He was flanked by Assistant Coach Calles, who was talking to the Fourth Officer, who then held up his substitution card.

No. 24 Van der Vaart down, No. 23, Van Bizhuang on!

There were bursts of applause at the Bernabeu Stadium, and there were plenty of boos in the sky.

Obviously, the applause is for the Dutch, and the boos are for last year's European golden boy, the European golden boy who has completely degenerated into waste!

"Real Madrid made a substitution! It's Fan! No. 23 Van will replace Van der Vaart! ”

"Actually, it's hard for me to understand why Coach Manuel made such a choice, we all know that the current Fan is no longer the Fan he used to be, he has completely sunk. He didn't do anything to the team, he was like a soulless ghost on the pitch, he didn't deserve to wear a white jersey and play for this great stadium. Listen to the boos of the fans at the scene, and you will know that Van has lost all the support of Melinger here! ”

"People have lost patience with him. Think about the omnipotent Fan in the past, and then look at the down-and-out Fan now, it's really embarrassing! ”

"I think the reason why Van is still on the front line is maybe just because he is a descendant of Pellegrini? But in the football world, competitive strength is the standard to measure a player, and I think that the current Fan is really not suitable to stay on the green field, even if he was very good...... I think at the end of the season, Van will probably be swept away by the team. Of course, maybe it's this winter, who knows......"

Not only the fans booed Fan Bizhuang, but even the commentators on the scene were either emotional or disdainful cynicism.

Fan Bizhuang couldn't hear what they were talking aboutβ€”and even if he did, he wouldn't take it to heart.

He will fight back, he will use his feet to tell everyone who looks down on him, all who think that he has been completely abolished, that he is still that Fan, that omnipotent Fan!

Because, he's back!

……

In the case that the overall situation has been decided, Fan Bizhuang's appearance, in the eyes of many people, is just Pellegrini, or a kind of "charity" from Real Madrid, after all, it also cost the club 30 million euros, even if there is no state now, but on the premise of not affecting the team's results, giving the other party some playing time is also a "value preservation" measure - even if it is depreciated, don't depreciate so quickly, so thoroughly, as long as Fan Bizhuang has not fallen to the point of incorrigibility, he will be sold in the future, maybe he can recover a little money.

This is the conjecture of the "malicious people", and it is also a very mainstream conjecture, and no one would think that a player who has not contributed to a super club like Real Madrid is still qualified to stay at the Bernabeu for a long time.

Maybe in the summer, no, maybe this winter, Fan Bizhuang will be purged and left the team.

The club's hierarchy may have thought the same way, but Manuel Pellegrini never did, and he always believed that Van Bizhuang was the most special one on the planet, even if he had fallen from the clouds to the bottom, but he still believed that Van Bizhuang would return one day.

Perhaps the Chilean's idea was out of "deep master-apprentice love", or maybe it was "sympathy" for Fan Bizhuang, but after that day's training match, the Chilean was extremely firm in his thoughts.

Watching Van Bizhuang run onto the pitch with the same number as in Villarreal, Pellegrini's eyes lit up.

"Go, Fan!"

"Go and show everyone who boos you!"

"You're back!"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After Fan Bizhuang came out, he did not bring much change to the situation on the field.

In fact, in terms of strength, Real Madrid and Marseille are not the same level of teams at all, except for the lucky goal in the first half, the away team was firmly suppressed by Real Madrid most of the time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was surrounded in the half of the game.

This was the case, with the visitors pinned down in the half, defending with a dense crowd of people, while Real Madrid pressed forward and stormed around Marseille's half.

The iron bucket array is originally a worldwide problem, even if Fan Bizhuang's performance is much better than before, but from the overall situation, it can't produce too many ripples.

This made fans and commentators seem to see that Fan Bizhuang's performance is still no different from his previous inaction.

But soon, many people saw the difference between Fan Bizhuang.

Once again, Van received a pass from his team-mate...... Ha, Real Madrid today is a little strange, they seem to believe in Fan and are willing to send the ball to his feet! ”

"Fan! Fan!! Fan!!! He tries to break through on the wing! Nice getaway, shocking speed...... He killed the bottom line! Cross...... Alas, it's a pity that Benzema didn't get the first point! …… But it has to be said that Fan seems to be more confident, and he is very determined to keep the ball at his feet, rather than passing the ball out quickly! ”

'He's got no problem with the catch, he's got no problem with his passing, he still seems to be addicted to breakouts...... This kind of fan faintly makes people feel vaguely familiar! ”

"It's Fan, are you back? …… Whether it is or not, today's Fan is indeed very different from the past! At least, he's no longer as muddy as before, and he's making mistakes! Let's take a look at Fan's real-time stats after he came on the pitch, with three crosses and six breakthroughs...... Oh my God, wait, I wonder if I'm having a problem with my eyes! No mistakes! 100% pass success rate! The breakthrough success rate is also ...... One hundred percent! Oh my God......"

Along with the exclamations of the on-site commentators, the boos at the Bernabeu Stadium gradually became smaller. Real Madrid fans are some of the most discerning in the world, and if their players don't play well, they will be mercilessly booed at them.

They are also one of the most knowledgeable players in the world, and they will not hesitate to applaud their players when they play well.

After a poor performance in the past three months, Fan Bizhuang has enjoyed nothing but boos and white handkerchiefs here.

And at this moment, fans who know the ball find that Fan Bizhuang's performance seems to be ...... Really good? His catches, his stops, his passes, and his breakaways...... Every movement of his is so natural, so freehand, so pleasing to the eye.

In the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium, there were finally sporadic applause and cheers, and such voices are constantly expanding, gradually spreading to the entire stands.

In the eighty-seventh minute, cheers and applause finally swept the entire stadium.

Fan Bizhuang actively ran and pressed in the front court, snatched an opportunity that was not an opportunity, his sudden rush forced the Marseille defender to make a passing error, a lunge stepped forward, took the ball away, down to the bottom line, suddenly changed direction and shook the Marseille fullback, kicked the ground, swung legs, hit the ball, the whole set of actions in one go, like a flowing water.

The ball rose from the ground, and a beautiful arc crossed the air, landing exactly at the back of the penalty area.

That position, C. Ronaldo has been outflanked in place!

The pass was so comfortable that it hardly required any extra movement, and Ronaldo only had to stand still and stick his head out to shoot.

It's the best pass, the most comfortable pass!

That is, the so-called ball looking for people, not people looking for balls!

The Portuguese didn't let such a great chance to score slip away from him, and C. Ronaldo, who was standing still, poked his head forward, and when the ball arrived, the black and white elf instantly changed direction and headed straight for the goal.

A snowflake is splashed and the ball goes in!

The score became 3:1!

Real Madrid expands the score and completely seals the victory!

C. Ronaldo raised his arm excitedly, pointed at Fan Bizhuang and yelled excitedly, and his teammates also waved their arms excitedly.

The substitute players also jumped up with cheers, and Kaka stood up and clapped excitedly.

Pellegrini also waved his arms and shouted regardless of grace.

The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was in a state of endless madness and boiling.

The boy turned around, his long black hair fluttering wildly in the night breeze.

His arms were raised high, clenched, and vibrating fiercely towards the sky.

Although the roof of the Bernabeu Stadium has blocked the night sky, and the twinkling stars in the night sky cannot be seen, Fan Bizhuang knows that the brightest star in the sky is smiling at herself and blooming her own light to herself.

"I'm back!"

"Little Luna, I'm back!"

Fan Bizhuang's face was still indifferent, but in his heart, he was roaring wildly!
