Ball king grower

In the second round of La Liga, Real Madrid played against Rayo Vallecano. In the end, thanks to Lin Yu's hat trick and goals from Karas and Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid defeated their opponent 5:0, which also showed the defending champion's superb performance.

Strong strength.

At the post-match press conference, without waiting for reporters to ask questions, Zidane made a request: "Please forgive me for not answering the question about Pogba!"

The reporters were stunned when they heard this. What is really newsworthy about today's game is that Pogba did not play for a minute on the court. If you don't ask about Pogba, what should you ask?

Of course Zidane wanted to protect Pogba and didn't want to be annoyed by reporters, but the reporters had a different idea. They felt that Zidane really hated Pogba, so they didn't even want to mention Pogba.

one time.

After much deliberation, a reporter finally asked: "Mr. Zidane, are you satisfied with your team's performance?"

Isn’t this nonsense? You’re still not satisfied with a 5:0 victory over your opponent?

But the reporters just don't have any questions to ask. They are now focused on Pogba's affairs and are not allowed to ask Pogba's questions. Then they can only throw out a few random questions to cope with the work.

In fact, Zidane is quite happy that reporters are paying attention to Pogba. If a player does not get attention, it would be a tragedy. But he feels that it is not the time for Pogba to show his face. When will it be possible?

He will naturally let Pogba appear.

…

In the locker room, Lin Yu patted Pogba on the shoulder and smiled: "Do you feel uncomfortable staying on the sidelines?"

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

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

"Yes... or no?"

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

"I think I'm well prepared! In training matches, I won't make too serious mistakes. I can basically perform at 70 to 80% of my strength. I believe that I can perform better in official matches."

Yes, I need the game now to realize my ideas one by one." Pogba suddenly stood up and said. Sure enough, he was still unwilling to give in. Although he agreed to Zidane, he always wanted to start in the starting lineup.

Lin Yu laughed and said: "Yes, this kind of fighting spirit is what we need! Do you know why I didn't speak for you this time?"

"Why?"

"Because I don't like good kids. Since you want to play, speak up and express your thoughts boldly. Whether the coach will let you play is another matter. If you don't even have the courage to speak your thoughts, then

I can only think that you have no confidence or fighting spirit, so why should I help you?" Lin Yu said with a smile.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Pogba suddenly felt his eyes light up. In fact, he has been very conflicted these days. He doesn't want to cause trouble to the coach or Lin Yu. So he has been suppressing his emotions, but today he heard Lin Yu

After saying this, he suddenly felt that the decision he had made before was really stupid. Was it really necessary?

When did I, Pogba, lose the courage to express his thoughts?

"I'll go find the boss right now!" Pogba became more and more excited as he thought about it.

"Wait. Why are you in a hurry? It's still early before the next round of competition. You first need to let Boss see your efforts. Then tell him your thoughts. I believe your chances of playing will be great.

Increased. Don't worry, I will speak for you then. After all, the team also needs rotation, and your condition in the next game will definitely be better than other players who play consecutively." Lin Yu grabbed Pogba and said.

"Hey, I'm a little anxious."

"This is a normal mentality. If you are not anxious when you don't have a chance to play, then I will really worry about whether you have the ability to play football. Relax, I will go to BOSS to have some fun first, and then you can train again.

If you perform well every time, you will definitely be able to play in the next round. Then perform well. I can help you once, but I can't help you the second time. It will be your turn to beat those reporters next time.

So shameless." Lin Yu smiled.

"Um."

Originally, there is never a 100% certainty in this world. Who can guarantee that Pogba will be able to exert his due strength when he is fully prepared? Who can be sure that Pogba will not be able to exert his strength 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 get on the field, they are invincible super warriors.

Lin Yu is this kind of player, so Pogba may not be the same. If you don't give Pogba even a minute's chance, what's the difference between keeping your own child in a greenhouse?

…

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 say, he has to take care of his own affairs. You are the captain of this team, not someone's nanny! I have no intention of spoiling any player."

"Haha, I knew you would say that." Lin Yu said with a smile: "Actually, I'm just talking. As for whether Pogba should be allowed to play, you can see for yourself, boss. Anyway, I'm just expressing my thoughts.

, a unit gets a new weapon, but it is always afraid to use it, and it ends up being left there as waste, which is not interesting."

"Have you asked him what he meant?" Zidane thought for a while and felt that Lin Yu's words still made some sense. If you have new weapons and don't use them, isn't it a waste of money?

"After asking, I think if he really wants to play, he will come to you soon. In fact, you said that I am his nanny, so why not you? If you don't let him play, you don't want him to be bombarded.

Really? Do you really not believe Pogba that much? In other words, don’t believe your own eyesight?" Lin Yu smiled, threw down these words, turned around and ran away.

After a long while, Zidane smiled bitterly and said: "Lin Yu, that stinky boy, I told him, but he got me in."

…

Real Madrid played earlier in the second round of the league, while Barcelona only started the game the day after they finished the game.

Before this game, the media were unanimously optimistic about Barcelona, ​​believing that Klopp's goal loss was back on track. Moreover, the opponent was a mid-to-lower team, Malaga, which is currently not very strong. No one thought that Barcelona

Something will happen.

However, Barcelona was upset in this game. Although Barcelona had an absolute offensive advantage throughout the game, a low-level mistake by goalkeeper Ter Stegen resulted in the team conceding the ball and even losing in the end.

.

This is big news. If it loses to Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, or even Athletic Bilbao, it would not be considered big news, but it just lost to a team that is already weak. Logically speaking, it is impossible to lose to Barcelona.

Teams that pose a threat.

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

In fact, it's no wonder. Barcelona and Real Madrid were originally at a disadvantage when competing for the championship. They absolutely couldn't lose points to such mid-to-lower teams this season, but who knew they would lose in the second round and capsize in the gutter.

…

Faced with tremendous pressure, Klopp stood up to defend Ter Stegen. Although he does not have Lin Yu's fierce approach, he is not a soft persimmon either.

"If you lose the ball, the responsibility is mine. You don't have to complain about a young goalkeeper. If you have anything, come to me."

If you lose a game, someone has to take responsibility. Klopp feels that he should step up at this time. Otherwise, this team may collapse now.

At this time, the Catalan media was also supporting Klopp.

"From the game, we can see that Barcelona has always had the advantage, and Ter Stegen's mistake was just an accident. As long as you believe in Klopp, you will definitely be able to let the team win the championship!"

"The slander against Klopp and Ter Stegen is all a conspiracy by the Madrid media. What they fear most is that Klopp will continue to coach Barcelona and that the team will unite. We don't want to fall into their trap.

when!"

Diverting trouble to the east and passing it on to Real Madrid is also a common tactic used by the media, but some people just fall for it.

And from a certain perspective, Barcelona fans also believe that Klopp is the only head coach who can save Barcelona. If even Klopp can't do it, who else should they look to?

…

This clarification alone is not enough. Klopp knows that if he wants to completely eliminate the shadow of a defeat, he must win the third round.

So in the third round of the league, Ter Stegen performed well, Suarez and Messi completed perfect cooperation, 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. It was so cleanly won by Barcelona. Who dares to say that Barcelona can't do it?

This victory was like a timely rain, injecting new vitality into the originally gloomy Barcelona and allowing them to find hope.

After the game, Klopp said boldly: "If Real Madrid wants to win the championship, they must first step on our corpses!"

Regarding this comment, Real Madrid did not respond 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 put more energy into dealing with Real Sociedad.

Although Zidane was happy that Barcelona capsized in the gutter, it also made him see a hint of crisis. Barcelona would capsize in the gutter, and his own team might as well, so he must face every game seriously.

…

The day before the game started, Pogba found Zidane and expressed his thoughts. He wanted to start and play this game.

Zidane did not refuse, but he also did not agree immediately. If he agreed too quickly, he was afraid that this kind of thing would happen frequently in the future. If every player asked him to start, wouldn't he be bored to death?

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

Zidane's idea is very simple. Since he wants to give Pogba a chance to perform, let him start. It would be boring to be a substitute.

It just so happened that Royce had some physical problems and needed to take a rest. Pogba played in the attacking midfielder position in this game.

In fact, in Real Madrid's lineup, the position of attacking midfielder is not obvious. You can even say that he is a central midfielder, or simply a defensive midfielder in the advanced position.

Because whether it's Pogba, Modric or Gundogan, what they have to do is the same, which is to intercept in the midfield and then launch an attack.

The real frontcourt organizer and offensive core are actually Lin Yu, and the players in other positions are all adjusted around him.

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

…

In the locker room, Zidane said to the Real Madrid players: "When Barcelona lost a game, the whole of Europe was as sad as if their wife and daughter had died. It was as if if they lost, it would be the end of Europe. Why is this?"

?”

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

"Yes, that's why it's so unpleasant. So what should we do?"

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