Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 111 The world is different from me 】

The Real Madrid team, which won the La Liga championship again three years later, is extremely excited at the moment!

The old players felt more of the joy of venting.

For example, Ramos, Pepe, Casillas, Higuain and others.

After winning the championship in the 07-08 season, they watched their mortal enemy step on their heads and won the championship for three years. It is really not easy to vent their depression until today.

And players like Ronaldo, Di Maria, Kaka, Benzema and others.

They only have the comfort of simply grabbing the championship from Barcelona.

The previous champions of Real Madrid have nothing to do with them. They have created a milestone record in their Real Madrid career.

Won the first heavyweight championship in Real Madrid!
And they now have every reason to believe that this won't be their last trophy of the season.

The Real Madrid fans were singing, Mourinho, Ronaldo, and the names of every player in the team.

When Mourinho first arrived at Real Madrid, he promised the fans that he would bring Real Madrid back to where it should stand.

Last year, facing Barcelona, ​​he won the Copa del Rey with a lore.

Before the start of this season, they once again defeated Barcelona in two rounds and won the Western Super Cup.

Now, they have successfully returned to the throne of La Liga!
Every Real Madrid fan may have complained about Mourinho's tactics and employment in the past more than a season.

But, as a very classic football old saying goes.

Fans are forgetful.

The current Real Madrid fans are full of love and gratitude for Mourinho.

Maybe after a week or two, they will complain about Mourinho's tactical style again.

But at least at this moment, they are 100% die-hard supporters standing behind Mourinho!
Along with the news that Real Madrid regained the La Liga title, it was released to the world.

The Real Madrid players who had celebrated the first round passionately before were also "arrested" by reporters, and they were interviewed with different emotions facing the camera.

Li Ang originally wanted to celebrate with Mourinho and Mr. Karanka, but he was cut off by an acquaintance female reporter from "Marca" in the middle.

"First of all, I want to congratulate you! Li Ang, you have played a dominant performance this season, and now you have won the La Liga championship again. Can you talk about your mood at the moment?"

Facing the questions from old acquaintances, Li Ang was quite at ease. At least if the other party wanted to ask news breaking news, he would ask them clearly, and he would not set an interview trap for him.

"Of course I am very excited. To be honest, in the middle of the season, we thought that the number of early rounds to win the championship would be No.30 five or even No.30 six rounds.

So, it was a surprise, and of course we all love such surprises! "

"Can you talk about the slogan you shouted on Ronaldo's back a few minutes ago? We seem to have heard it. You are reminding the team that will play against Real Madrid in the next round that they need to line up for Real Madrid~"

"Huh? Did I say that?"

Both the female reporter and Li Ang laughed at this moment, but Li Ang finally answered each other's questions head-on.

"Okay ok. It's a good tradition, of course, I mean, if Barça line us up for the next game, there's no doubt they'll make their supporters proud, Naturally we will be happy because we get the respect we deserve."

Li Ang's answer is quite satisfactory. After all, he has already won the whole season, and he doesn't want to forcefully create any public opinion trouble.

"Okay, the last question, you are about to usher in the first round of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich. Is the team now confident in winning the confrontation with Bayern?"

"As far as I am concerned, I am confident! And we have come to this point. If you don't have ambition and pursuit of the final victory, then you are disrespectful to all participating teams. Wait for our good news, hala madrid!!!”

Li Ang finally clenched his fists and shouted a slogan with his own determination to the live broadcast camera, then handed back the microphone and trotted back to the field to continue looking for Uncle Psy.

Another ten minutes later, amidst the enthusiastic applause and cheers of the fans at the scene, the Real Madrid players wearing championship T-shirts also returned the applause and returned to the player tunnel one by one.

More happiness and passion are left to the fans themselves. The players of Real Madrid need to calm down the mood of winning the championship as soon as possible, and go to another important battlefield for them.

※※※

No hangovers and no laziness.

On the afternoon of April 4th, the entire Real Madrid team underwent a physical examination on time and began a new round of recovery training.

The atmosphere of joy of winning the championship is still hanging over the Baldbebas training base.

Logically speaking, Real Madrid's players deserve at least one or two days off.

But the reality is very helpless. After the game against Sporting Gijon, Real Madrid only have two and a half days to rest.

They are about to head-to-head against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals.

So Mourinho only dared to squeeze in half a day for his disciples to relax with their families.

When the players took a short break to enjoy the taste of winning the championship, Real Madrid's coaching staff was still working on non-stop preparations.

For Mourinho, the only good news is that Bayern Munich also played a round of the league on April 4, that is, yesterday.

Heynckes formed a mixed lineup of starting and rotation players, trying to keep Bayern's hope of overtaking Dortmund to win the championship at the last moment.

But obviously, he failed.

Bayern was tied at home by Mainz, nine points behind Dortmund, and there are only three rounds left in the Bundesliga.

Theoretically speaking, Bayern still has the last hope of counterattacking to win the championship.

That is Dortmund's next three-game losing streak and Bayern's three-game winning streak. In this way, Bayern will be able to win the Bundesliga championship by virtue of their goal difference.

But this year's Dortmund is not the Dortmund of the 2022-2023 season.

Confident Hornets fans celebrated when the result of Bayern's draw came through.

It can be said that the mood of Dortmund fans and Real Madrid fans last night was similar.

And the injured Bayern fans can only hope that the team can advance bravely in the Champions League at this moment, and use a victory against Real Madrid to soothe their injured hearts.

The two super strong teams who also consumed a round of physical fitness before the Champions League battle did not have much time advantage in terms of rest.

From this point of view, this duel is quite fair.

On the afternoon of April 4th, the main players of Real Madrid who completed the training session followed the coaching staff and embarked on an away trip to Germany.

The war was about to break out, and almost all the sports media in Europe focused their attention on Munich.

For the fans, this is a super battle not to be missed.

After all, the matchup between Barcelona and Chelsea on the other side seems too suspenseful.

Barcelona's match against Benfica in the last round was a complete sweep, just like Real Madrid's match against Marseille and Bayern's match against APOEL, a pressure-free crushing game.

Chelsea, on the other hand, almost tried their best to hold the score of 1-1 after scoring the first goal in the second round.

In the end, AC Milan was eliminated by virtue of the advantage of 4-4 in two rounds and the number of away goals.

Playing a sharp decline in strength, Milan, which has already had a downward momentum, is so strenuous. It is really difficult for the old Chelsea to gain the trust of more neutral fans.

So for more fans, this battle between Real Madrid and Bayern is the "big meal" that deserves more attention!
Afterwards, no matter whether it is Bayern who breaks into the final, it will be a showdown with Barcelona.

Or Real Madrid broke into the final, and Barcelona once again staged the national derby in the Champions League.

It was a scene they liked to see.

Even the Real Madrid team, including Mourinho, basically think that there is no suspense about Barcelona's victory in the other half.

Li Ang is still the one who is different.

He is optimistic about Chelsea, and the reason given is that Torres scored in the second round of the Champions League quarter-elimination match against Milan, and his state has recovered.

And, he has no brains to be optimistic about the elderly Warcraft Drogba.

"Torres will be an important backup for Chelsea, and Drogba is in good form recently. Barcelona can't do anything about Drogba. As long as Pique misses Drogba and makes Drogba play a dislocation confrontation, Chelsea's chances are great. coming!"

The other Real Madrid players didn't take it seriously, but seeing Li Ang's determined appearance, it was not easy to save his face, so they stopped discussing this topic.

On the morning of April 4th, the Real Madrid team completed the last practice before the game on the training ground provided by the Munich 17 club.

At this moment, many well-known media have also given their guessed Real Madrid Bayern starting lineup.

Bayern is basically speculated by the media that they will continue to play the familiar four-two-three-one they are good at.

Robben, Ribery, Gomez, Müller or Kroos can all play very well in this system.

Heynckes has always been prudent in his tactical deployment, and there is not much possibility of temporarily changing the starting lineup before the battle.

As for Real Madrid, the starting lineups given by the media are different.

Some speculate that Mourinho will play four-four-two, and some speculate that Mourinho will play four-three-three, and the reasons given by the media are quite sufficient.

Because Real Madrid have achieved good records in both lineups this season.

If you have to say that it fits the abilities of the current Real Madrid players, then [-] would be more appropriate.

But Mourinho has always been good at putting tactical smoke bombs before the big battle. Who can be sure that he will not play that way this time?
On the evening of the 17th, players from both sides of Real Madrid and Bayern entered the Allianz Arena in Munich to start warming up.

At this moment, the media reporters and commentators from all walks of life got a more accurate list of the starting players of the two teams.

As expected, Bayern continued to play four-two-three-one, Muller was on standby on the bench, and Kroos started the game.

The double defensive midfielders of Schweinsteiger and Gustavo are also solidly escorting the defense.

As for Real Madrid, Mourinho seems to have finally chosen a four-three-three style of play.

Because Kaka is on standby on the bench, it seems that Di Maria has no need to continue playing midfield.

The sweeping style of Li Ang and Essien has already taken shape, and Di Maria will be more lethal when he returns to the side.

Duan Xuan, who explained the Champions League match tonight, got basically such information.

So after the live broadcast started, when he and Director Zhang Luzhang introduced the information of the starting players of both sides in advance, they also mentioned the tactical game between the coaches of the two sides today in terms of formation selection.

But if nothing else, the accident finally came.

Mourinho did start the players shown on the information sheets obtained by various media commentators.

But today Real Madrid will not play four-three-three at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

They also play four two three one!

Li Ang and Essien did not correspond to the left and right sides of the midfield.

Mourinho finally chose to play a double defensive midfielder, Li Ang and Alonso dragged back, and Essien served as a central midfielder.

The positions of Ronaldo and Di Maria fell back a bit, and Benzema stepped forward.

On the defensive line, Coentrao, Ramos, Pepe, and Arbeloa lined up.

This is the current starting lineup with the strongest defensive and counterattack capabilities on paper for Real Madrid.

And comparing Bayern's starting lineup again, many fans have discovered a very interesting thing.

That is, the current Real Madrid and Bayern teams are too similar!

Both defensive midfielders are excellent in interception and have a big core of organization.

The rear defense is solid, and they are proficient in air defense and ground interception.

The characteristics of the two wings are also very similar, both have strong personal abilities, fast speed, and excellent passing and shooting stars.

The starting center has excellent ability to play the ball and can play a very good role as a fulcrum.

Look at these characteristics, one by one, are most of them right?
It is normal to have differences in details, but on the whole, the similarity between Real Madrid and Bayern is really high.

In the past ten years, there has been no similar case in the Champions League semi-final stage.

Perhaps it was also in style that Mourinho and Heynckes' distinctive features influenced their respective teams.

Real Madrid should pay more attention to the counterattack after the defense, pay attention to shrinking the fist back and then punch it out forcefully.

And Bayern will be more inclined to take the initiative to attack.

At least in the previous games, the styles of the two teams were generally like this.

However, after the referee on duty blew the whistle to start the game, the views of the fans had to reverse again.

Because Real Madrid chose to take the initiative at Bayern's home court!
Mourinho once again boldly chose the attacking method!
Seeing the players on both sides investing a lot of force in the battle for control of the midfield from the first second of the game, countless neutral fans watching the game instantly became excited!

Mourinho will be standing on the sidelines. He looks very energetic with his hair just shaved, and his eyes are full of thinking and careful observation.

Yes, this is a "tactical surprise" that Mourinho prepared for Heynckes and Bayern.

He will not choose to stabilize the defense first at Bayern's home court.

Because he knew that it would be impossible to fight against the current Bayern team.

To attack!
Even if they lose the game today, as long as they score enough away goals, the probability of Real Madrid winning in the end is at least [-]%!
