Ball king grower

After Pogba's matter came to an end, Zidane began to care about the performance of other championship teams and teams that may threaten Real Madrid.

As the strongest opponent in the championship, Barcelona defeated Osasuna 9-0 at home, creating the largest score in the first round of the season, which also allowed them to top the standings.

After this game, some people exclaimed that the most terrifying Barcelona is back, because Klopp has completely integrated the current tactics into this team. Although he still adheres to Barcelona's tradition of reverse kicking, it is not like

It used to be so grinding and grinding, but now Barcelona plays with more rhythm. When it should be fast, it is as fast as the wind, and when it should be slow, it is as steady as a mountain.

It is worth mentioning that Suarez, the newly joined Barcelona striker, scored a hat trick in this game, and Messi even directly performed a fourth-year performance. Both of them scored more goals than Lin Yu.

Lin Yu only scored one goal in the first round, and it was the icing on the cake. In fact, it is not important. In comparison, these two people look brilliant.

But even so, only the Catalan media ridiculed Lin Yu. The rest of the media didn't mention Lin Yu much, because the media were afraid. Lin Yu has a tendency to go crazy. If you ridicule him

, he gets excited, and when the time comes to get slapped in the face, it will be really embarrassing again.

Another title rival, Atletico Madrid, also defeated its rival Real Betis 2:1 in this round. Although the result is not as bright as Barcelona, ​​a win is three points.

After this, Valencia also successfully defeated its opponent. Athletic Bilbao also achieved a victory.

So far, basically the teams competing with Real Madrid for the championship and the teams that can have an impact on Real Madrid's championship have all won. This is of course not good news for Real Madrid. But they don't really care.

, if you win, we will also win. Are we afraid that you will catch up with us?

…

During the days when no one was paying attention, Pogba had been training silently. He didn't even give himself time to go out and play. At most, he would go to Lin Yu's house for a meal.

Soon, the second round of La Liga will begin.

Real Madrid's opponent in this round of the league is Rayo Vallecano, and it is playing at home. Basically, if nothing unexpected happens, the result of this game will be Real Madrid's victory, so this is not a suspense, and the media all agree that Real Madrid can win

A sure win.

And what is the suspense?

The suspense is whether Pogba can play? And once he does, can he perform to the level he deserves?

Although the media's bombardment of Pogba has temporarily subsided because of Lin Yu's actions, if Pogba does not perform well after playing in this round of games, then that kind of bombardment will definitely revive.

Lin Yu couldn't stop him at that time.

Many fans also hope that Pogba will not play. It's not that they don't like Pogba. It's that they want Pogba to have more time to adapt so that he can perform well once he plays. Otherwise, he will still be laughed at.

Zidane also has the same idea. In the last round of the game, he did not let Pogba play to stimulate Pogba. Let Pogba train harder. This round is to protect Pogba. After all, the media

We are all keeping an eye on him, if Pogba does not perform well, it will really be the end.

Of course, he wants to tell Pogba his true thoughts. This is really important. He doesn't want Pogba to think wildly or even listen to the media's slander. That would really destroy the player's self-confidence and expectations.

.

When Zidane was helping Ancelotti and Lippi, he was the one who often communicated with the players. He has always developed this habit. He believes that doing so is a habit that a coach should develop. He

It was because of communication that they understood and supported each other. If he had suppressed Lin Yu at that time in order to demonstrate his power as a coach, or simply ignored him, he would never be today.

Zidane will also not have Lin Yu for a few years. The two may have fallen out long ago. Either Zidane left or Lin Yu left.

Pogba, like Lin Yu, is a very individual player. When dealing with a team like this, if you explain everything clearly, you won't be afraid of his random thoughts. But if you don't say anything and feel that you are a coach, you can do whatever you want.

There is no need to explain to the players how to do it. What may happen in the end is a loss of trust between the players and the coach, and then the relationship will break down, and then everything will be over.

Big-name coaches generally have this problem, because they think they are great, but Zidane has always felt that he is not a big-name coach. In addition, he has been a player and a superstar. He understands the inner thoughts of players very well.

So he naturally hopes to communicate this kind of thing so that players can play football with confidence.

…

Pogba was quite reluctant, but he could understand what Zidane said.

"No one wants 60 million players to sit on the bench or not even have a chance to play. I hope you can adapt to the team as soon as possible and then carry the team's midfield banner. Do you understand?"

These words are Zidane's expectations for Pogba, and they are also a kind of comfort to Pogba.

This made Pogba feel that Zidane was not pretentious and could say whatever he thought. He also had high expectations for him, so he felt more comfortable in his heart.

Pogba is a confident person. He is not worried about not being able to play for the time being. He also feels that now is a good time to seize the opportunity to improve his adaptability to the team. And sitting on the bench, he can also clearly see the ball.

The team's playing style, habits and offensive routines will also help him understand the team so that he won't be confused once he goes on the field.

Before the game against Rayo Vallecano, Zidane announced the starting and substitute lists for this game. Pogba was on the substitute list, but no one was surprised.

It's not that no one supports Pogba, but because in Real Madrid, except for Lin Yu, there is no one who is the main force. Anyone can sit on the bench. Anyone who can come to Real Madrid is

Excellent player. No one is worse than anyone else.

It is impossible for teammates to have any emotions because Pogba did not start, because the person holding Pogba's position at this time is Gundogan. His strength is not worse than Pogba at all, and he is more familiar with this team.

Even everyone's relationship is good.

There is absolutely no room for favors in things like this. Everything is decided by the head coach. Even Lin Yu didn't express his dissatisfaction. He has a good relationship with Pogba. But his relationship with Modric and Reus is also different.

very good.

Just like Zidane said at the beginning of the season, "Real Madrid players all play based on their ability, not on favors! Whoever wants to start, use your strength to conquer me!"

This statement makes Pogba easier to accept, because he himself knows that now he cannot compare with Gundogan, Modric and Royce, and he must work harder.

…

There was no reaction from the Real Madrid team because everyone started the game based on their abilities. So there was no way they had any opinions. On the contrary, on the day of the game, the media's reaction was a bit excited.

The media doesn't have to harass Pogba, and they don't have to bombard Pogba. But no matter how powerful you Lin Yu is, you can't stop others from commenting on what they think. It's even less possible for you to stop him.

In short, when the starting list came out, almost all the media had a feeling that "Zidane does not believe in Pogba."

The reason is very simple. In this game, Azpilicueta is also a newly joined player. He replaced Marcelo in the starting lineup. Even Karas and Varane formed a young central defender combination. Mignolet

He didn't play because it was agreed at the beginning of the season that all cup matches would be handed over to Mignolet, while Casillas would continue to start in the league.

Pogba's strength and reputation are better than Karas's, but he failed to start. What's the reason?

It must be that Zidane is not optimistic about Pogba.

They even heard that Pogba has been working very hard in training recently and performed well in training matches, so he still doesn't get a chance to start. This is no longer Pogba's problem, it should be Zidane's fault with Pogba.

Geba didn't support it, or he didn't like it.

Even at the beginning of the game, some websites broke the so-called "secret news", saying that Zidane was preparing to sell Pogba, or exchange Pogba for Juventus' Vidal.

Pogba also saw this news off the court, but he didn't pay attention to it because Zidane came to him before the game and talked about him, which gave him peace of mind.

If it weren't for the previous communication, this news would probably have caused Pogba to become nervous and suspicious, and he might really have had a big fight with Zidane.

Human beings must always be based on mutual understanding, and communication is the best means. Human beings who lose communication will inevitably have many tragedies.

…

Before the game, the media said that there was no suspense in this game. The reason why they were still paying attention to this game was just to see whether Pogba could play and what performance he could perform.

As a result, Pogba did not play at all, which disappointed them. The only thing worth reporting was that Lin Yu made a killing in the game.

But Lin Yu's affairs have almost become tired of being reported in the past few seasons, and the media also wants something new.

The final game was pretty much what the media expected, with the score locked at 5:0.

Facing Real Madrid's offensive, Rayo Vallecano had no chance at all, and even the defense was beaten into a colander.

Only thirty seconds into the game, Azpilicueta crossed the ball from the wing, and then Lin Yu followed up with a volley, and the ball hit the net.

Lin Yu scored a goal, and the suspense was completely gone. Even Valleano lost his fighting spirit. The next game was just running out of time.

Last season, many teams tried to snipe Real Madrid, but not only did they fail, but they were completely killed.

This season, some teams are still unconvinced and do not believe in evil, and want to avenge the defeat of last season.

And Rayo Vallecano is such a team that overestimates its capabilities. They actually want to score a goal at Real Madrid's home court, and they don't know who gave them the confidence.

As a result, when Lin Yu scored the goal thirty seconds into the game, Rayo Vallecano immediately realized his naivety. At this time, he tried to defend, but it was too late. The team had no fighting spirit and was demoralized, while Real Madrid

The morale was boosted by scoring a goal.

Soon Lin Yu performed a hat trick, and young player Karas actually scored a beautiful header. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty kick, and the score became 5:0.

After performing a hat trick, Lin Yu's number of goals this season has reached four. Before Barcelona started the second round, he and Messi were tied for the top scorer list.

But the media didn't seem to pay attention to this. Even the cameras on the field frequently looked for Pogba, wanting to see Pogba's expression and then infer what Pogba was thinking at this time.

What they expected was Pogba's gloomy and disappointed expression, but unfortunately they were disappointed. Instead, what they saw was Pogba's excited shouting after Lin Yu scored a goal.

Since coming to Real Madrid, Lin Yu has been Pogba's best friend and first friend. He has long admired Lin Yu. Lin Yu scored a goal, and he was naturally very happy, but this was not the case.

It makes the media very unhappy.

Aren't you angry that you didn't get a chance to play? (To be continued...)
