Chapter 45 Chapter 45 I joined the first team today
When Dudek came, he was the team's second goalkeeper. Casillas has been performing very stably for a long time, and the goalkeeper does not need to be rotated as frequently as other positions. Dudek has been a substitute in the six months since he came to Real Madrid. The former Polish goalkeeper has no intention of asking the team for a chance to play, but he stays focused during training and hopes to perform well if he gets the chance to play.
Dudek's career has always been affected by injuries. After coming to Real Madrid, he had too few opportunities to play and was not injured much. However, yesterday afternoon during training an accident caused his elbow to land first, and the poor Pole has to start going to the rehabilitation center again.
Leandri didn't know that Dudek was injured at this time. He was patted on the head by Redondo with a confused look on his face. Nacho, Parejo and other familiar friends whistled in the locker room. Among them, the one who made Leandri the happiest was Adam.
Adam's deep eye sockets revealed the most sincere smile, and he patted Ryan's shoulders again and again. The patting sound made everyone hear the sincerity. "Ryan, you play well in the first team. Let me bear the pain of Castilla's defensive sieves!"
Redondo personally sent Leandri to the first team. Although he knew that it was unlikely that he would play in the first team, he was happy for him.
The first time Redondo met Leandri was at the Bernabeu. At that time, the man in front of him was still a little ball boy who rejected Hierro and chose to hold his hand. In a blink of an eye, the boy has become a little giant of 1.9 meters. He will step into Real Madrid's training ground as a first-team player for the first time.
Schuster's assistant coach Sanz saw the young man from Castilla reporting in, with two chattering coaches standing beside him.
Sanz gave Redondo and the bearded assistant coach a hug each, "Fernando, Dani, are you so reluctant to leave Ryan? Don't worry, I will take good care of him."
Which coach at any level of Real Madrid doesn’t know Leandri? In other words, all the coaches of Real Madrid have been keeping an eye on the rising stars in each echelon, but some people’s glory is fleeting like a shooting star, while others will satisfy their expectations from an early age.
Sanz and Redondo were still talking about something, and the bearded assistant coach Mr. Dani was still sewing his clothes before his departure, like a mother worried about her son who was going on a long journey. His rough appearance and ruthless mouth were intimidating.
"It doesn't matter if you can't play in the first team during this period. It's not that you are not good enough, it's that Casillas is too stable. You will definitely do better after you practice for a few more years."
"If anyone bullies you, you must tell us right away, okay? Even if it's Schuster who bullies you, I dare to come up and argue with him!" He showed off his muscles and said, "He definitely can't beat me with his looks."
"Okay Dani, who would bully Ryan?" Sanz, who had already completed the handover, rolled his eyes when he heard his old friend's words. Everyone knows that this kid is the prince of Real Madrid. Not to mention that he had a father who was the chairman. Even if his father stepped down, the little guy has made everyone have a clear understanding of his bright future with his own abilities. In addition, the local gang of the first team has a relationship with him since he was a child, so there is no need to worry about Ryan in the next three months.
Everything has been arranged and the two Castilla coaches are leaving. Before leaving, Redondo helped Leandri tidy up his hair which had just been messed up by the bearded man Dani. Looking at the clear eyes looking at him, he recalled the past.
"You will do well in the first team. This is the magic I gave you."
Compared to Redondo and Dani who kept looking back every few steps, the assistant coach of the first team took Leandri to the locker room without any worries. He simply said, "Leandri will replace Dudek in the future. Don't bully the little boy." and left. The teaching assistant has a lot to do, and he still has a lot of work to arrange.
There were not many people in the locker room at this moment. Some had already changed their clothes and went out, while several players like the bad boy Cassano were still nowhere to be seen.
Guti was the first to rush over and patted Leandri on the head, "Boy, congratulations on joining the first team."
Marcelo also walked over quickly with his short flat head, raised his head and gave a hug, the water dispenser comrade√
At this time, Salgado had already changed his clothes. Before going out, he nodded coldly to Leandri without saying a word. After all, he is the son-in-law of Florentino's predecessor Sanz. It is good enough for the former prince consort of Real Madrid to have an acquaintance with the former prince of Real Madrid.
As the captain, Raul knew that Leandri was coming today, and he arranged a position for the young goalkeeper very affectionately. After Leandri changed into training clothes, he took his arm around him and walked into the lawn. Guti's vicious comments made him look like a hanged ghost. Raul was not polite either. He kicked him without giving any face to the respected Real Madrid vice-president.
Goalkeeper coach Luis Riopis was communicating with him with Casillas' recent performance records. When he heard the noise, he realized that Raul was coming with Leandri.
"Louis, I've brought the little guy to you. Be gentle with him."
Leandri greeted his coach obediently, and when the coach turned around and walked forward, he secretly nodded his head towards Casillas.
Look, I'm here to take your spot!
Seeing that Casillas got along very well with the newly reported young goalkeeper, he took the initiative to train with him and kept helping to correct his posture. The goalkeeper coach was studying the fresh information of Leandri on the side.
The young man, who has just reached adulthood, has stabilized his height at 190cm, and his jumping, reaction, speed and other data are among the best among his peers.
Riopis has been a goalkeeper coach at Real Madrid for many years, so he naturally knows his talent better than anyone else. However, he did not expect that Leandri would improve so quickly during his time at Castilla. It turns out that competition is the best catalyst for a player's growth.
Although he had been dancing in front of his master since he was a child, clamoring to take Casillas' position, it was not until today when the two of them went through the same training for the first time that Leandri realized how strong Casillas was.
It was not obvious when they were doing slow-moving saves. The two players moved from one side of the goal to the middle using crab steps, and then saved the ball when the goalkeeper coach kicked the ball to the initial position. In this training, there was not much difference in the performance of the two players. After all, both of them were goalkeepers with super reaction abilities.
However, during training sessions such as close-range on-the-spot rescue and rescue over obstacles, there gradually appeared a gap in their performances.
Leandri's performance was certainly good. He could quickly judge the ball's path, and when he made a misjudgment, he could control his body twisting and change his center of gravity to block the ball.
But he is not as stable as Casillas. Casillas rarely makes mistakes. Even if he makes a misjudgment occasionally, he can block the ball outside with the fastest speed and most labor-saving way. His hand shape, falling posture and the position where the ball lands are all desperately perfect.
The nerve knife has always been amazing, but if the performance of the nerve knife can be stabilized, it will be really terrifying.
Leandri felt up close the suffocating and unsolvable nature of the contemporary world.
Seeing that Ryandelli subconsciously shook his head in amazement at Casillas' performance, Riopis patiently enlightened the new goalkeeper, "Igor's performance is of course the best and most stable. He was appointed to participate in the Champions League at the age of 18. He has been nurtured by so many large and small competitions over the years. But now the times are different, and experiences like his are difficult to replicate. You are good enough, Ryan. No 18-year-old goalkeeper was better than you when they were the same age as you, including 18-year-old Casillas. Train patiently for a few more years, and you will be the best goalkeeper in football."
Leandri was amazed by Casillas' strength, but wasn't Leopis also shocked by his own performance?
In the 45 minutes of training just now, he performed equally stably on fields of varying degrees of wetness, did not miss a single save on a rebound, and did not let a single ball pass over his body in the second-step training. Isn't it astonishing that an 18-year-old goalkeeper who has not been sculpted by top-level competitions can perform like this today?
Casillas brought Leandri to the first team, and Raul formally introduced everyone to this substitute goalkeeper from La Fabrica. In addition to Guti and others clapping, Soldado and other friends who also came from Real Madrid's youth training and were familiar with Leandri were also happy for him. Unlike the image of a tough guy on the court, Pepe off the court was actually very easy to get along with. He smiled shyly at Leandri who was surrounded by Raul, Casillas and others.
After taking a shower, everyone prepared to leave. Robinho's white eyes widened more obviously, and he asked his "twin" brother in horror, "Who is this substitute goalkeeper? Why does he have to let Casillas pack up his things and act as his father and mother? And Raul doesn't care?"
Marcelo, who knows a little bit about the friendship between these young players of Real Madrid, has a reputation as the "Prince of Real Madrid".
Leandri went home humming a song. Florentino glanced at him and asked, "When did you choose to take Chinese as an elective?"
Leandri chose French as his second foreign language in Rosales, which is why he had no problem communicating with Zidane in Monaco. Mr. Lafayette was very curious about why his son was humming Chinese today. Although he did not understand this extremely difficult language, he had dealt with many Chinese people, so he could naturally tell what language it was.
"I was born with it, Dad." Leandri grinned and sang the last line of Good Luck as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
After telling his family that he would temporarily replace Dudek as a substitute in the first team, Leandri ran upstairs again, threw his neatly arranged sports bag aside, and took out his mobile phone to send a message.
"Tony Tony! I made the first team today!"
"First of all, congratulations, but weren't you there temporarily because Real Madrid's backup goalkeeper was injured?"
Ryandre pressed the keyboard with a dark face, "How do you know?"
"Oh, Real Madrid's homepage posted Dudek's injury report."
