Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 129 Luca, You Are My Natural Partner
"3-0!Real Madrid smashed the Dream Three Dynasties! "

"Desperate Nou Camp, West Super Cup has no suspense"

"The handsome position is in turmoil?Countdown to Guardiola's dismissal"

"The era of Real Madrid domination is coming again! "

When the first round of the Western Super Cup ended on August 8, the impatient Western media jumped out and sang praises to Real Madrid.

The defeat, even in the eyes of Barcelona fans, is completely regarded as a "miserable" Barcelona.

After this game, he also lost too much prestige accumulated in the past few successful seasons.

After all, although Real Madrid lost a lot of games last season, Barcelona still showed their strong strength, and it is more difficult for Real Madrid to win.

But in the Spanish national derby at Camp Nou on August 8, it seemed that Real Madrid won it too easily.

The reason why I say "looks like" is because the media will not promote the misfortune of Barcelona's two goalposts in the game.

They will not publicize the impact of Iniesta's injury and departure in the second half of the game on the game.

More melon fans only know that Barcelona lost to Real Madrid. Under the guidance of this publicity, Barcelona's failure and Real Madrid's victory are highlighted.

This is the exaggerated description technique that the media always likes to use.

Last season, when Real Madrid lost 0-5 to Barcelona, ​​the one-sided public opinion at that time could not be said to be exactly the same as it is now, it can only be said that there is no difference.

Real Madrid's players don't have much psychological burden on this.

Because most of them survived the extreme public opinion environment that was ridiculed and belittled for no reason.

And the way they chose to respond was to stand on the ring again after the failure, defeat Barcelona, ​​and take back the glory they lost.

Competitive sports have always been like this.

Top players all know what the media is, so before the start of the game, they should be mentally prepared to meet those negative public opinions after failure.

However, it may be because he has tasted such a sour taste of failure, so no Real Madrid player made an aggressive mocking action in the face of the media at this time.

For Li Ang, there is one thing that is more important than mocking Barcelona.

That was Modric, whom he had been looking forward to meeting, finally arrived in Madrid a few days before the summer window was about to close!

Levi had been biting hard on the 3700 million transfer fee before. Although Real Madrid is not short of money, they still can't understand Levi's sky-high asking price.

If Modric hadn't repeatedly expressed his desire to arrive in Madrid as soon as possible to participate in training and recover, Lafayette finally gave the green light.

The completion of this transfer is bound to take a few more days, even to the last moment when the summer window closes.

Fortunately, things have not been dragged to the worst point, and Modric is very excited and satisfied to finally join Real Madrid successfully.

On the morning of August 8, Modric, who arrived at the airport, was full of energy in front of the camera, and the smile on his face never disappeared.

Because the medical examination has been completed in London accompanied by the Real Madrid team's medical team, the follow-up process for Modric to join Real Madrid is very simple.

The press conference was officially held that afternoon, and the fan meeting ceremony was held the next day.

Modric is also a resolute character. He did not end the press conference until the afternoon of August 8, and he went directly to the Baldbebas base accompanied by his staff.

Here, he, who has not officially participated in the joint training, met his future teammates in advance.

Modric, who was still immersed in the excitement of joining Real Madrid at the moment, did not notice that among the crowd of Real Madrid stars applauding and welcoming him, there was a pair of particularly enthusiastic eyes watching him.

Mourinho is pleased with Modric's high spirits.

Although Modric hasn't participated in Tottenham's pre-season training in recent times, he still misses the pre-season running-in time with Real Madrid.

But Mourinho is still very optimistic about the thin Modric in front of him.

Because the current Real Madrid has enough fault tolerance time and patience for Modric to slowly adapt to the new tactical environment.

Real Madrid's current midfield reserves are sufficient. Leon and Alonso firmly occupy the two midfield starting positions, and Essien and Matuidi choose one of the two starting positions.

Even if there is an unexpected situation, Essien sometimes has to fill in the full-back, and Di Maria can also drop back and play in midfield.

Therefore, under the condition that the performance pressure is not high, Mourinho still has enough patience to allow Modric to better integrate into Real Madrid's tactical system.

In the past, the media always criticized him for not giving new aid, not giving young people opportunities and time.

The record pressure on him doesn't give him time to make mistakes!

Last season's Triple Crown gave Mourinho great confidence in his record, and now the sufficient and reliable rotation of manpower has made his mentality more calm and peaceful.

He doesn't need to prove his ability to lead the team over and over again to the world.

Now which media dares to question and bark in front of him, he can completely raise his three fingers with a calm smile.

Needless to say the league championship, he led three teams to win three Champions League trophies in less than ten years.

This record is enough for him to fight back all the doubts and criticisms!

So what Modric sees today is not a tyrant who scratched his head for his record.

It's a "kind version" Mourinho who is kind and humorous and takes special care of him.

On the morning of August 8th, Modric officially joined the team and started the first training session with a group of Real Madrid stars.

His follow-up training is not very difficult, after all, he also trained alone before trying to mobilize his body as much as possible.

But it will take some time to restore his full state.

However, the problem of communication and integration that he was slightly worried about did not appear in this training session.

His new teammates are quite easy to talk to. Of course, what's more important is that there is a particularly enthusiastic local player who has become acquainted with him all morning.

Well, the Magic Flute is obviously a little passive and barely getting acquainted with someone.

But a certain person didn't have the slightest psychological burden, and started chatting with the Magic Flute with the excuse of complaining about London's food and weather.

Marcelo looked at the silence, Benzema looked at it and covered his face, Ronaldo grinned and shook his head.

Since Essien joined on loan during the winter window of last season, every time a new teammate comes, Li Ang must be the first Real Madrid player to get acquainted with him.

This strong and cheeky social ability really made the rest of the Real Madrid stars bow down.

Modric can't help it either, Li Ang said "Brother Luka" on the left and "I often watch your national team's games" on the right.

How can Mengxin, a newly joined wealthy family, withstand it?
Besides, Li Ang's position in the Real Madrid team does not constitute a competitive relationship with him, and he may even be his future ball protection boss.
This means that you have to hook up even if you don't hook up.

After finishing all the joining ceremonies in the afternoon, Modric went back to the training base to finish training with Li Anga, and then the two talked and laughed together and went to have dinner nearby.

Soon a reporter took photos of the two driving away from the Baldbebas base together.

Compared to the curiosity of the fans, many reporters blocked Li Ang on the way to "work" the next day.

Faced with this kind of gimmick interview about his new teammates' opinions, Li Ang did not refuse this time, and he was very happy to praise Modric in front of the camera.

"Luka is of course the type of player we need now. Do you want to ask about his characteristics or his personality? My answer is actually the same: impeccable.

Luca is a good man, he is very calm and cheerful, he takes care of his family, in this regard, I think I am the same kind of person as him.

As far as technical skills, he has all the qualities that our team needs.

Skill, vision, ability to read the game, ability to make key decisions, he can pass long and short, and he knows how to advance the offense, and he is also very smart in position selection."

Li Ang's praise directly made the reporters in front of him feel that something was wrong.

This TM is completely a draft of praise, what is the introduction of opinions, you might as well just say that Modric is a model for professional players!
Li Ang didn't care about the secret slander of these reporters.

After boasting, he drove away satisfied.

Before the start of the second round of La Liga that night, the praise of Li Ang's introduction to Modric had already been uploaded on the Internet.

The person involved, Modric, was in a daze, and didn't realize immediately that this was a report describing himself.

He was selected for the 18-man squad for the game that night. Of course, he should not be able to play in the game because his game state has not been adjusted to the best.

His inclusion in the squad this time is more like a clear announcement by Mourinho to the outside world:
He is optimistic about Modric, and his attitude is clear. He not only reassures Modric, but also warns some media not to make troubles in public opinion.

Modric, who was supported and protected by his coach and teammates, was still very moved.

After the game started, Modric also seriously devoted himself to the careful observation of the game tactics.

At this stage, he has very few opportunities to play, and even if he does, he will not play a lot of time, so he needs to observe more about his teammates' game habits and running habits on the bench.

He played as the core midfielder at Tottenham. After coming to Real Madrid, he needs to adapt to a new tactical identity. His keen and comprehensive observation is an excellent professional habit.

With such a habit, he believes that no matter which position he plays in the future, even if he plays as a defensive midfielder, he can adapt well.

Grasp the strengths and weaknesses of his teammates, and try to make his own performance "advance strengths and avoid weaknesses", which is exactly what he is good at.

On the court, Li Ang's performance naturally attracted Modric's attention even more at this moment.

"This defensive positioning awareness is too good. He doesn't stick to the ball. The defensive awareness is always a quick shot, and he still has the ball."

After subconsciously chanting a few words in his heart, Modric subconsciously echoed the "joke" that Li Ang said to him after the training yesterday.

"Luka, you are my natural partner."
