In the second round of La Liga, Real Madrid played against Rayo Vallecano, and finally relied on Lin Yu's hat trick and Callas and Cristiano. Ronaldo's goal, a 5-0 victory over the opponent, also showed the super strength of the defending champions.

At the post-match press conference, without waiting for reporters to ask questions, Zidane first threw out a request: "Regarding Pogba's questions, please forgive me for not answering!" ”

The reporters were stunned when they heard this, today's game, the really newsworthy thing is that Pogba did not play a minute on the field, and if you don't ask Pogba about it, what should you ask?

Of course, Zidane wants to protect Pogba and doesn't want to be annoyed by reporters, but the reporters think a little differently, they feel that Zidane really hates Pogba, so they don't even want to mention Pogba.

After thinking about it, a reporter finally asked: "Mr. Zidane, are you satisfied with your team's performance?" ”

Isn't this nonsense, 5:0 win over the opponent and still not satisfied?

But the reporters just don't have any questions to ask, they are now focused on Pogba's affairs, and if they don't ask Pogba's questions, then they can only throw a few random questions to deal with the work.

In fact, reporters pay attention to Pogba, Zidane is still quite happy, if a player does not get attention, it is really a tragedy, but he feels that it is not yet the time for Pogba to show his face, when can he let Pogba appear, he will naturally let Pogba appear.

……

In the locker room, Lin Yu patted Pogba on the shoulder and smiled: "It doesn't feel comfortable staying on the sidelines, right?" ”

Pogba nodded and said, "Yes, but this is the coach's effort to protect me. I'm not qualified to play. ”

"Really? Do you really think so? Lin Yu stared at Pogba and smiled.

"Yes...... Or is it not? ”

"I'm asking you." Lin Yu said loudly.

"I think I'm ready for it! In training matches, I don't make too many mistakes. The strength can basically play seven or eight percent, I believe in the official competition. I'm definitely going to be able to do better, I need to compete now to make my ideas come true. Pogba suddenly stood up and said, he was really unwilling, although he promised Zidane, but in his heart he always wanted to start.

Lin Yu said with a smile: "That's right, that's what you want!" Do you know what Lu Dao is for, didn't I speak for you this time? ”

"For what?"

"Because I don't like good boys, since you want to play, speak up and express your thoughts. It's another thing for the coach to let you go, if you don't even have the courage to say what you think, then I can only think that you yourself have no confidence and no fighting spirit, so why should I help you? Lin Yu said with a smile.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Pogbarton's eyes lit up, he has actually been very conflicted these days, he doesn't want to cause trouble for the coach, he doesn't want to make trouble for Lin Yu. So he had been suppressing his emotions, but when he heard Lin Yu say this today, he suddenly felt that the decision he had made before was really too stupid, was it really necessary?

When did I lose the guts to express my thoughts?

"I'm going to find the boss!" The more Pogba thought about it, the more excited he became.

"Wait. What's the hurry, it's still early before the next round of the game, you have to let the boss see your efforts first. When the time comes, tell him what you think, and I'm sure your chances of playing will increase greatly. Don't worry, I'll speak for you. After all, the team needs to rotate, and you will definitely be in better shape for the next game than the other players who have been on the court in a row. Lin Yu grabbed Pogba and said.

"Hehe, I'm a little anxious."

"That's the normal state of mind. If you don't have a chance to play, then I'm really worried about whether you still have the desire to play. Relax, I'll go to the boss first, and then you can perform well in training, and you will definitely be able to play in the next round. When the time comes, I can help you once, but I can't help you a second time, and the next time it's your turn to slap those reporters' faces. Lin Yu said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Originally, there is no 100% certainty in this world, and who can guarantee that Pogba will be able to play his due strength when he is fully prepared? Who can be sure that Pogba will not be able to play to his strength right now?

There is a kind of player in this world, they may not be able to show their strongest strength in normal training, but once they are on the field, they are invincible super soldiers.

Lin Yu is this kind of player, so Pogba may not be it, if Pogba is not given even a minute of chance, what is the difference between it and keeping his own children in a greenhouse all the time?

……

During training the next day, Lin Yu found Zidane and told him about Pogba.

Zidane did not buy Lin Yu's account this time.

"It doesn't matter what you said, he has to take care of his own affairs, you are the captain of this team, not anyone's nanny! I don't mean to be used to any player. ”

"Ha Luha, I knew that you would say that." Lin Yu smiled: "Actually, I'm just talking, as for not letting Pogba play, BOSS, you can see for yourself, anyway, I'm just expressing my thoughts, a unit has obtained a new weapon, and it always doesn't dare to use it, and it becomes a waste product after being put there, so it's not interesting." ”

"Did you ask him what he meant?" Zidane thought about it and felt that Lin Yu's words still made some sense, with a new weapon that was not used, wouldn't it be a waste of money?

"I've asked, and I think he'll come to you soon if he really wants to play. In fact, you said that I was his babysitter, why not? You don't want him to play, don't you want him to be bombarded? Do you really have to be that distrustful of Pogba? Or do you not believe in your eyesight? Lin Yu smiled, threw down such a paragraph, turned around and ran away.

After a while, Zidane smiled bitterly and said: "Lin Yu, this stinky boy, I said him, but he wrapped me in." ”

……

Real Madrid played early in the second round of the league. Barcelona started the game the day after they finished the game.

Before this game, the media was unanimously optimistic about Barcelona, believing that Klopp's goal loss was back on track. And the opponent is a team in the middle and lower reaches, and Malaga is not very strong at the moment. No one thinks anything is going to happen to Barcelona.

However, Barcelona was upset in this game, although Barcelona had an absolute advantage in attack throughout the game, but because of a low-level mistake by goalkeeper Ter Stegen, the team conceded a goal, and even lost the game at the very least.

This is big news, if you lose to Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, or even Athletic Bilbao, it can't be big news, but it lost to a team that is already weak. It stands to reason that it is impossible to pose a threat to Barcelona.

There was a lot of criticism after the game, and there was even news in the media that Klopp might be sacked, and goalkeeper Ter Stegen was also severely criticized, as if he had become the biggest sinner.

In fact, it's no wonder that Barcelona and Real Madrid were at a disadvantage in the competition for the championship, and this season they must not lose points on this kind of middle and lower teams, but who knew that they lost in the second round and capsized in the gutter.

……

Under intense pressure, Klopp stepped up to defend Ter Stegen. Although he doesn't have Lin Yu's fierce way of doing things, he is not a soft persimmon either.

"It's my responsibility to lose, you don't have to chirp at a young goalkeeper. Anything comes to me. ”

Someone has to come out and take responsibility for losing the game, and Klopp feels that he should step up at this time. Otherwise, this team would have collapsed by now.

At this time, the Catalan media was also giving Klopp a favor.

"From the game. We can see that Barcelona have been in the ascendancy and that Ter Stegen's mistake was just a fluke. As long as you believe in Klopp, you will definitely be able to make the team win the championship! ”

"The slander of Klopp and Ter Stegen, it is all a conspiracy of the Madrid media, what they are most afraid of is that Klopp will continue to coach Barcelona, and they are most afraid that this team will unite, we don't fall for them!"

Misfortune is passed on to Real Madrid, which is also a common method used by the media, but some people eat this set.

And in a way, Barcelona fans also believe that Klopp is the only manager who can save Barcelona, and if even Klopp can't do it, then who should he go to?

……

This clarification is not enough, Klopp knows that if he wants to erase the shadow of a defeat once and for all, he must win the third round.

So in the third round of the league, Ter Stegen performed well, Suarez and Messi completed a perfect combination, and they beat Valencia 4:0!

You must know that Valencia is a team that is considered to be able to influence the trend of winning the championship this season, and it was won by Barcelona so cleanly, who dares to say that Barcelona can't do it?

This victory was like a timely rain, which injected new vitality into the otherwise gloomy Barcelona and allowed them to find hope.

After this game, Klopp proudly said: "If Real Madrid wants to win the championship, they have to step on our corpses first!" ”

Real Madrid did not respond to this comment, because it was unnecessary, after all, Real Madrid's opponent in the third round of the league is not Barcelona, but Real Sociedad.

They need to focus more on dealing with Real Sociedad.

Although Zidane was happy to capsize in the gutter, it also made him see a hint of crisis, Barcelona will capsize in the gutter, and his own team may also be, so he must face every game seriously.

……

The day before the game, Pogba approached Zidane and said what he thought, he wanted to start and he wanted to play this game.

Zidane did not refuse, but he did not agree to it in one bite, if he promised too quickly, he was afraid that this kind of thing would often occur in the future, if every player asked him to start, then he would not be annoyed?

On the day of the game, Zidane gave Pogba's answer: "Debut! ”

Zidane's idea is very simple, since he wants to give Pogba a chance to perform, let him start, and the substitute will be boring.

It just so happened that Reus had a little problem with his physical strength and needed to take a break, and Pogba played in the midfield position this time.

In fact, in Real Madrid's squad, the position of the forward midfielder is not obvious, you can even say that he is a central midfielder, or simply a forward midfielder.

Because whether it is Pogba, Luka Modric or Gundogan, they all have to do the same thing, which is to intercept in midfield and then attack.

The real frontcourt playmaker and offensive core are actually Lin Yu, and the players in the rest of the positions are adjusted around him.

Only when Lin Yu wants to score goals and stay away from the midfield, the forward midfielder will take on the responsibility of organizing the core. But it doesn't matter because Pogba has that ability.

……

In the dressing room, Zidane said to the Real Madrid players: "Barcelona lost a game, and the whole of Europe is sad like a dead wife and daughter, as if they lost, it is the end of Europe, what is this for?" ”

"Because they don't want us to continue to win the title, they all go to support Barcelona." Lin Yu said with a smile.

"That's right, that's why, it's very unpleasant. So how do we do it? ”

"Don't let them get their wish!" This time it was Pogba who answered. (To be continued......)
