[Football Fans] Glory

In the 1996-1997 season, Real Madrid made a good start, but there were waves in the subsequent games.

In October, the main players of the royal team who had the task of the national team went to participate in the warm-up matches of the national team. Some warm-up matches can be avoided, but some warm-up matches recognized by FIFA cannot be escaped. As a result, the main players of the Real Madrid first team were almost drawn And empty.

For example, Carlos, Rivaldo and Zebert, who were selected for the Brazilian national team, Mijatovic from Serbia, Suker from Croatia, Redondo from Argentina, Nedved from the Czech Republic, and local players Hierro and Enrique , Amavisca, Arkota, Rush, Guti.

28 of the 12 members of the first team were taken away, and only enough people were left to form the first team. The coaching staff had no choice but to pull the youth army of Real Madrid's second team over to train and play against these left-behind players.

This kind of large-scale transfer of people and running back and forth will have a great loss on the physical fitness of the players, not to mention the injuries that the coaches worry about.

And the more you worry, the more you will come. As an icon of the national team of a small football country, Mijatovic is injured. Fortunately, it is only a light operation and only needs to rest for a week. Although Su Ke is not injured, his physical fitness is almost exhausted. , It is estimated that it will not be used in the next game, and the others are okay, but Enrique's injury is more troublesome. Although his knee can be treated conservatively, at least a month's rest is necessary. There is no guarantee of full recovery, and finally after the club's discussion, he was asked to undergo a thorough treatment, but it is estimated that he will have to rest for half a season.

Hierro is also lacking in physical fitness and needs to rest for at least one or two games.

The defenders don't consume much and can be topped.

Guti is fine, probably because he is young, it is good to be young who is fine even if he stays up for a few nights.

"nonsense."

Faced with Raul's question, Guti pouted.

"Because I just came off the bench for 15 minutes and didn't consume much at all."

Guti said.

What he thought in his heart was that Camacho had no choice but to use other people. For him, Camacho still wanted to use it carefully so as not to consume too much Guti, so as to ensure Guti's development in all aspects. This is the same origin. Of course, this is also an unspeakable secret.

But that's it, Raul is also very envious, "I also want to be selected for the national team."

"Wait a little longer, you may be selected next year."

Guti thought about what his father said about the Spanish national team's big change, and comforted Raul.

At present, most of the veterans in the national team, and the achievements in international competitions in the past ten years are only average, so it is an inevitable choice for a new player to take the stage.

"You mean..."

Raul's eyes lit up—he wanted to participate in the 98 World Cup, and he wanted to die, but the premise was that he could be selected for the national team.

"Perform well, perform as much as possible this season, and be selected next summer, so you can go to the World Cup."

Guti smiled.

In my memory, both Raul and Morun were selected for the national team in the 98 World Cup, and he was the one who was not selected.

Although Raul is not as dazzling as he used to be due to his appearance in this life, but in terms of performance, Raul is actually not inferior, so if there is no problem, he will definitely be selected next time, but Morun may be a little dangerous.

"I will work hard."

Raul made a fist.

"Ah."

The game in October was a bit tense. Facing several successive opponents, Real Madrid tensed up and down.

No way, after the national team match, there will be a national derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and then there will be away games against Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad, neither of which can be taken lightly.

However, it may be that the two giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​​​have been drawn too many players by the national team. They played weakly in this game, and the whole team of the two teams could not cheer up. 0 to 0 handshake, and in the face of this situation, the fans of the two groups did not make a fuss. The Real Madrid general was injured and missed the game. Barcelona also suffered more injuries. With the addition of suspended players, both sides could keep the tie. acceptable.

On October 10th, the first match day after Thanksgiving, Real Madrid played away against Athletic Bilbao.

Athletic Club de Bilbao is a football club located in Bilbao, Viscay Province, Basque Country, northern Spain. The team was founded in 1898 and is the second earliest football club in Spain. They are The founding member of the Spanish Football League has never been relegated since 1928. The only other players with this honor are Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The biggest feature of this club is that it only employs Basques, and stubbornly refuses to do any commercials on the jersey (this insistence was changed in 2008, and for the first time in a century, there are commercials on the jersey).

They are most famous not only for using only players of Basque descent, but also for the home team stadium known as the 'Devil's Stadium' San Mamés (Estadio San Mamés), which can accommodate 3 people. It has been built and used so far, and because Bilbao is the closest city in Spain to the UK, the San Mames Stadium is also built in the style of a British stadium. The fans' seats are very close to the venue, which allows the players to hear the sidelines at close range. The noise of the fans, which makes the whole stadium very loud, combined with the enthusiasm of the crazy Basque fans, can often turn this ground into a grave for the away team.

Before the game, when the players of both sides were waiting in the channel to play, Raul walked over to say hello to a player of the Bilbao team.

"Joseba, long time no see!"

"Hey, Raul!"

The two young people hugged each other friendly.

Joseba Andoni Etxeberria Lizardi (Joseba Andoni Etxeberria Lizardi), who transferred from Real Sociedad to Athletic Bilbao last year, is a friend of Raul's when he participated in the World Youth Championship, and their relationship has always been very close , Echeberia was also the winner of the Golden Boot for the top scorer in the World Youth Championship. As a Basque, he looks a little thin on the outside, but in fact he is a strong winger. He came from a football family. The most famous thing is that when he was a teenager, he often participated in marathons and won competition awards, and he had the physical strength to run on the field.

In order to poach him, Athletic Bilbao completely turned their backs on Real Sociedad, which is also located in the Basque Country.

Echeberia is currently No. 7 of Athletic Bilbao, the same No. 7 as Raul.

Looking at Raul's intimacy with each other, Guti curled his lips. Anyway, he has never participated in the World Youth Championship and doesn't know many players of the same age, hum!

"Raul knows so many people."

Carlos smiled.

Guti glared at him, "Raul is the captain of the National Youth U21, and they are teammates."

"Strange, why didn't you join the National Youth Team?"

Carlos is a little strange. With Guti's strength, shouldn't he be the main force of the national youth team?

Then Nedved patted Carlos from behind, "Isn't it bullying to let Jose go? He is the main force of the national team!"

Guti smiled at Nedved, is that right, he is really my good partner.

Carlos thought for a while, that's right, if you are the main force of the national team to participate in some youth competition, isn't that just a draw!

Give other young people a chance to shine!

"Jose, you became famous very early, haha!"

Carlos grinned.

Guti, who is about to celebrate his 20th birthday, has become the main force of the Spanish national team. He entered the first team when he was less than 18 years old. He is indeed an example of a boy who became famous.

Guti glanced at him, "Raul and I were promoted to the first team at the same time."

"Er, haha~~"

Carlos laughed.

Such a big movement, of course, attracted the attention of the players on the opposite side. As a result, No. 8 Guerrero of Athletic Bbao waved Guti.

"Jose, won't you say hello to me?"

"Hmph, why didn't you come over!"

Guti snorted proudly, but still walked over and hugged Guerrero, "I hate coming here to compete."

The mild-tempered Guerrero laughed, "Didn't you say that you are not afraid of any scene?"

"Not being afraid and not liking are two concepts, okay?"

Guti protested.

"Okay, I said something wrong."

Guerrero apologized nicely.

Watching the conversation between Guti and his opponent, Carlos poked Nedved, "Didn't it mean that Athletic Bbao has a bad relationship with us?"

Nedved shrugged, "That's a relationship at the club level, what does it have to do with players, Guerrero and Jose are teammates in the national team."

"Well, you're right."

Carlos laughed.

In this game, Real Madrid's first captain Enrique was absent due to injury, and the second captain Hierro was not fit enough to play. Although the third captain was Redondo, the captain's armband was on Guti's arm .

Because Guti needs to be cultivated, apart from the fact that his father is not very worried, the captains and veterans at the captain meeting thought that Guti’s prestige on the field can be cultivated one by one, and the old players on the field should give Guti All-round support and protection, the third captain Redondo must remember when he is on the field, so when the first two captains are not on the field, Guti will wear the armband. This can be regarded as putting some pressure on Guti!

Seeing the referees looking back at them, the captains of both sides hurried back to their positions and followed the referees into the field.

Although they were very affectionate before the game, the expressions of both sides became serious once they arrived on the field.

And when the game started, the players on both sides refused to give in, and they played very hotly.

When Carlos made a tackle and turned the left back who was assisted by Bilbao, the little man (Carlos) jumped up and blurted out a long series of foul words, which surprised Carlos.

The referee came running to warn Carlos to shut him up by pointing at the little player, and then awarded an indirect free kick to Athletic.

While waiting for his opponent to serve, Carlos turned to look at Alcorta, "That little guy is not a Spaniard!"

He listened to what the little player said just now when he cursed, it was obviously French.

Alcorta, who was tall and burly, was silent for two seconds before speaking, "Your height is the same as him."

"I'm obviously taller than him."

Carlos protested.

"He's 1.68 tall, and so are you."

Arcorta glanced at him, the coaching staff had shown them the information before the game, Carlos, don't pretend you don't know, okay?

"I just want to ask, isn't it said that Athletic Bilbao only wants Basques? He is obviously French."

Carlos pouted.

But Arcorta didn't have time to chat with him at this time. He ran over and jumped high, kicked the ball that popped up from the opponent's penalty area and hit his head. Carlos quickly ran over to meet him. After that, Carlos dribbled the ball directly from the wing to the opponent's half.

This time the attack was stopped by the opponent, and Carlos ran back to his own half at a very fast speed.

This time it was the opponent's goal kick.

Looking at Carlos who was standing very close to him again, Alcorta glanced at Redondo on the other side. He didn't seem to notice what the two teammates were doing here, so Alcorta and Carlos again Said in a low voice.

"Don't you know that although Bixente Lizarazu is French, he also has Basque ancestry, and Didier Deschamps of the French team is also Basque, and there are many Basques in France. "

"Well, I haven't noticed..."

Before this sentence was spoken, Carlos ran out in a whoosh.

Alcortar also ran over immediately like a rabbit, nothing else, the opponent attacked.

As a result, Redondo directly stepped forward to steal the opponent's attack, dribbled the ball from the middle and approached the penalty area, and then passed the ball to Guti.

Athletic Bbao's half was crowded with players from both sides, and then a kick was bounced by the goalkeeper, and Real Madrid got a corner kick.

Guti ran to prepare for the corner kick.

Redondo and his tall players in the backcourt crowded around the penalty area, ready to pass and cooperate.

However, the speed of this corner kick was not enough, and the opponent's goalkeeper jumped up to get it.

Seeing this situation, the players in Real Madrid's midfield quickly withdrew from the opponent's half and returned to defense.

But after running back to his restricted area, Redondo stared at Alcorta with a straight face, "Concentrate."

As for Carlos, the sworn enemy in South America, Redondo was not polite, "Where is your position?"

Uh ha ha, Carlos ran away while touching his bald head.

And Alcorta, who couldn't run, moved two steps quietly. If he could go a little farther, he would be attacked by cold light if he was caught by Redondo. It was really scary!

Hierro, who was watching the game from the sidelines, lowered his head and snickered. Redondo is so serious, but thanks to his presence, he was able to suppress these out-of-the-way teammates on the field today. During the game, the two of you actually had time to chat , What a bargain.

Immediately afterwards, Echeberia dribbled the ball from the side to attack, but today Redondo expanded his defensive area and pushed it to the center circle. Seeing the attack speed of the young teenager, although it is not as fast as it is but From the point of view of grabbing points, Echeberia is far worse than Redondo. The moment he made the decision to make an inside cut, Redondo had already hooked the ball at his feet, and then coquettishly walk away.

Echeberia turned his head and only saw Redondo's back.

He sighed, Athletic Bbao changed their coach this season, and the new coach Luis Fernandez adjusted him from the forward position to the right avant-garde, which made him very uncomfortable with his new position. He always felt awkward when he dribbled the ball.

However, his small skills are also quite good, but he was easily intercepted by the Argentine.

Real Madrid's players are indeed not easy to mess with.

I'm a little envious of Raul, in this environment, he must be able to improve faster!

The author has something to say: PS: After thinking about it yesterday, I deleted all the settings that are irrelevant to the overall situation. The main force is to write Guti’s story, and even the CP you guessed, hahaha, guess it! ! !
