Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 131 The fifth crown of the year, the king of European kings

"Are you happy!?"

"what?"

"I mean, how does it feel to win the championship when you first come here? Are you happy?"

"Ha cool!"

Li Ang in the crowd looked at Modric who was rubbing the West Super Cup with happy eyes at the moment, and also smiled.

"Then you will have a great time this week. After winning this Western Super Cup, we will win the UEFA Super Cup in a few days!"

Modric, who was reminded by Li Ang, only now remembered.

This seems to be the case, Real Madrid finished the Western Super Cup match on August 8th, and will usher in the UEFA Super Cup match against Atletico Madrid on September 29nd.

If Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid to win the cup again, wouldn't it be two consecutive championships within a week!

"That thing if Atletico Madrid wins"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Li Ang looked at Modric, who was still somewhat cautious, and patted him on the shoulder, as confident as when other teammates promised him victory last season.

"If we play against Athletic Bilbao, we may overturn in one round, but against Atletico Madrid, we will not overturn if we play ten consecutive one-round tiebreakers."

"Are we so confident in the same city derby?"

"Hey, Chris is here."

Ronaldo, who was aware of it, turned his head and saw Li Ang standing beside Modric and pointing at him, thinking that Li Ang was praising himself, and nodded to the two with a smile.

At the Atletico Madrid training base at this moment, Simeone and his coaching team members are still having a headache discussing ways to limit Ronaldo.

No way, no matter which team is going to face Real Madrid at this stage, they want to fight for points or even win.

Then Ronaldo is a big difficulty that cannot be bypassed.

With 51 goals in the league and [-] goals in the Champions League, two record-setting goals in a single season have made Ronaldo the most threatening striker on the planet.

Such a threat even made Simeone feel that as long as Ronaldo is restrained, Atletico Madrid led by him has great hopes of winning this UEFA Super Cup.

Perhaps, subconsciously.

Simeone actually knows that Mourinho's tactical system can still exert great power after taking away Ronaldo.

But he can't care so much about this meeting. In a single-round decisive game, a super giant has too much influence on the outcome of the game.

And last season, Ronaldo's devastating four-goal performance against Atletico Madrid in the second half of the league caused too much damage to Simeone and Atletico Madrid.

Before that game, Simeone was still very confident that Atletico Madrid he led could become a sniper hero at the last moment of Real Madrid's sprint for the La Liga championship.

As a result, a 5-1 simply beat him back to reality.

He has completed his ideal signings in the past summer window, at least most of the new players are what he needs.

Last season's Europa League champion also gave him some confidence.

Once again challenging Real Madrid, Simeone felt that his team had at least the strength to fight.

Whether it can be done or not depends on whether they can restrain Ronaldo on the night of September 9nd!

※※※

The Real Madrid generals easily embarked on a journey to Nice, France on September 9st.

They will arrive at Nice Côte d'Azur Airport at noon, then take the bus to Monaco in the afternoon, and complete the preparations for the Stade Louis II before the game.

Mourinho and members of the coaching staff also did a tactical rehearsal during the trip, and they didn't have the slightest care about this Atletico Madrid team.

But in the players of Real Madrid's first team, there is really no tension.

Including Leon.

After all, he has already played against Atletico Madrid led by the bandit coach Simeone.

Atletico Madrid, which has been trained by Simeone for half a season, will definitely be stronger and more difficult than before.

But the transformation of a team is a long-term job. In a short period of time, it is difficult for Simeone to transform the entire Atletico Madrid team.

At least this season, Atletico Madrid will not and will not be qualified to become a stumbling block to Real Madrid's championship.

They still need to grow, and after another full season of honing, they will transform into the iron-blooded army that shocked Europe in later generations.

Today's Atletico Madrid is only a preliminary reorganization of the defense, and the control of the midfield and the offensive ability of the frontcourt are far from enough.

A team that can only defend can't stop Real Madrid, and a tiger Falcao alone can't disturb Real Madrid's current steel defense.

The gap in hard power between the two teams is still huge.

In terms of public opinion, no matter which country's media it is, they are overwhelmingly optimistic that Real Madrid can once again defeat their rivals in the same city.

The actual bias of public opinion is more severe than Simeone thought.

So much so that he had to encourage his players again before the game and instill in them the firm belief that they must win.

A large number of neutral French fans watching the excitement don't care who wins or loses, they just want to watch the stars and beautiful goals one after another.

With a large number of sports journalists stationed in Monaco and external media also launching propaganda with all their strength.

The popularity and attention of this European Super Cup game is still considerable.

On the evening of September 9, at the Stade Louis II in Monaco, players from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid followed the footsteps of the referee team onto the field.

Today, He Wei, who was talking about "stand-up comedy", also appeared in front of the TV with the fans on time at [-]:[-] a.m. Huaguo time.

With Real Madrid's fourth championship of the year, that is, after the Western Super Cup is won, Huaguo is also boiling. No one wants to miss the important historical moment of witnessing Li Ang's winning of the six championships.

Maybe they didn't watch the game last season, but some new fans who fell into the trap because of Li Ang's domestic business activities in the summer, many of them will also try to watch the game late at night.

They set the alarm clock, got out of bed in the early morning of the summer night, turned on the TV and tuned directly to Channel [-].

He Wei didn't show his face for too long, and the director quickly pointed the live camera at the stadium.

The figure of Li Ang holding the little caddy happened to break into the eyes of countless Huaguo fans.

And the familiar confident smile on his face also made domestic fans full of confidence in this game!
Barcelona has already passed this season, are you afraid that you won't be able to beat Atletico Madrid?
Winning the fifth crown is today, all right!
Compared with Real Madrid's calm and self-confidence, the expressions of Atletico Madrid's players are more or less dignified.

Facing Real Madrid, who won the Triple Crown last season, as a challenger, this psychological pressure cannot be easily dissipated by shouting a few slogans before the game.

After Mourinho and Simeone shook hands and greeted routinely before the game, they also walked back to their coach's bench with a calm face.

In terms of tactical preparations before the game, Mourinho thinks he is quite sufficient.

His formation and starting predictions are also basically accurate.

Simeone still didn't dare to change boldly to play [-], and still played a set of [-] with a relatively balanced offense and defense.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, played unrestrainedly for a while, instead of playing four-two-three-one, they played four-three-three very aggressively.

When He Wei introduced the starting formations of the two teams before the game, he was a little amazed at Real Madrid's tactics and personnel selection today.

".In the backcourt, we can see that Real Madrid's starting candidates are not much different from the past, but in the midfield position, the choice of coach Mourinho today is very unexpected!

Li Ang and Di Maria partnered as the left and right central midfielders. Only Alonso lagged behind. Ronaldo, Higuain and Benzema formed the striker trident of Real Madrid today! "

Accompanied by He Wei's commentary, the fans in Huaguo cheered up one after another.

In other words, most of the fans who are watching this game at the moment are in high spirits!
Simeone was again confused by Mourinho's tricks.

"Just look down on our offensive capabilities?"

Such an idea popped up in Bandit Shuai's mind subconsciously.

But when the game officially started, Simeone could only forcefully suppress the unhappiness in his heart when he saw the Atletico Madrid players who were quickly suppressed by Real Madrid and had to retreat to their own half.

Mourinho has the qualifications to formulate aggressive tactics against Atletico Madrid.

And when Real Madrid placed a full five players in the frontcourt, the two full-backs actively overlapped and advanced.

Due to the huge defensive pressure, Atletico Madrid will not be able to counterattack, and Falcao has to retreat to the center line to assist his teammates in defense.

And after flattening Atletico Madrid's formation first, the calmness in Mourinho's eyes added a little more.

Falcao is a good center, but he is not a standing center. His biggest threat is not after the retreat, but in the opponent's penalty area.

His stature template has already determined that even if Atletico Madrid fights back, they will not be able to forcefully walk in the middle to make the ball.

There is no one in the middle to take the ball to make the ball, just rely on an Arda Turan's push pass?
Can he blast Ramos or Abeloa who is forced to return to defense?

There is no speed-type explosive point, no disruptive-type fulcrum center, Atletico Madrid wants to fight Real Madrid's counterattack, it is too difficult.

After all, for Real Madrid, which is old and counterattacking, the defenders know exactly how to defend against the opponent's counterattack.

Atletico Madrid's offensive methods can't be used, and the defense line is forced to shrink by Real Madrid. There is no good way to involve Real Madrid's periphery, so they can only be beaten passively.

If Simeone is more courageous and replaces Diego Costa on the bench, the situation will really be different.

Real Madrid's half-court space allows him to have ample room to play, and he also has a bachelor's spirit that is not afraid of Pepe and Ramos.

With Costa disrupting the situation and protecting the ball, Atletico Madrid will at least have an extra counterattack path combining the side and the center.

It's a pity that Simeone will not have the courage.

He also didn't expect that the Brazilian center forward on his bench had the strength and ambition to change the situation on the field.

Under the tight defensive situation, the young Courtois immediately became the most nervous and busy player in Atletico Madrid.

Ronaldo's strong long-range shots at this stage are really hard to pick up.

Courtois, who was dizzy by Ronaldo's two consecutive burst shots last season, will not dare to neglect this meeting.

In just 4 minutes, he twice blocked Ronaldo's long-range attempts from the bottom line, and also gave Real Madrid two corner kicks.

Real Madrid did not knock on Atletico Madrid's goal, but the major attackers who have already played their form will already have an extraordinary momentum.

Modric watched Di Maria's wonderful performance from the sidelines, and his eyes flickered.

He felt that he was also suitable for this position.

Even if he doesn't play in the middle, if he plays in the left midfielder, he can also complete the offensive support for Ronaldo very well.

Moreover, he believes that he will definitely make a better defensive contribution than Di Maria.

"If I was in the left midfield, Li Ang was on my right, and Di Maria was still playing as a right winger, then we should be able to play a more powerful offensive combination."

After making a tactical summary, Modric's heart became even hotter.

But Mourinho will not speak now, he still can only sit on the bench honestly and stare.

Li Ang saw that Di Maria was being double-teamed by Atletico Madrid's backcourt players. He resolutely accelerated forward and yelled a reminder.

Di Maria, who tilted his head to see Li Ang's movement, swung the angle and threw the ball diagonally.

But at the moment when he was about to face Atletico Madrid's midfielder Gabi, Li Ang turned his back decisively and stood in his position first, and then faced the ball to his left for another point.

Let him make a one-on-one breakthrough with Gabi?What a joke!
Li Ang, who is self-aware, doesn't want to lose the offensive ball easily this time.

And his clear choice also allowed Benzema, who retreated to respond, to further transfer the ball to Arveiroa who was at the bottom.

There was chaos in Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

Abeloa made a cross from the area close to the bottom line, but the direction of the goal was not the middle and back of the penalty area.

Instead, it passed forward like an inverted triangle to the top of the penalty area where Li Ang and Benzema were going forward!
Gabi and Godin rushed to the football landing point immediately.

But Li Ang relied on Benzema's cover to push the ball to the back of Atletico Madrid's goal first!

The moment he collided with Godin, Li Ang felt very uncomfortable. This Uruguay's powerful central defender is too strong!

However, thanks to his involvement in the top fight this time, Ronaldo, who is advancing forward, does not need to compete one-on-one with Godin.

Miranda failed to defend Ronaldo's strong impact.

It almost made a relay with Li Ang's header ferry, Ronaldo knocked on the gate guarded by Courtois fiercely with a close-range head shake!

From the center to the wing, to the final defensive pull and finishing blow.

Li Ang cooperated with his teammates to complete a variety of offensive changes, and Atletico Madrid's backcourt defense, which has only been running in for a while, has been torn apart!
And Ronaldo, who scored this goal, also made Simeone's eyes darkened on the sidelines.

"You really can't prevent it?!"

Bandit Shuai smashed the coach seat with an ugly expression.

At this moment, Mourinho smiled and continued to applaud his disciples.

"The victory is decided."

Listening to Mourinho's confident conclusion, Karanka and the Real Madrid players on the bench felt that it was still too early.

But when Ramos scored another header in the 304th minute of the first half, everyone on the Real Madrid bench was convinced of Mourinho!

Atletico Madrid, which was two goals behind, began to worry, but this time Mourinho directed Real Madrid to shrink their own half.

The four-three-three formation played by Real Madrid before will also become four-two-three-one.

Well, Mourinho has started to fight back, and it seems that the gangster is getting more and more headaches.

Higuain stepped forward, Benzema retreated to kick the midfielder, and Li Ang also retreated to play a double midfielder with Alonso's partner.

The players on the Real Madrid field should not be too proficient in changing positions. There is no way to defend Atletico Madrid at the last moment of the first half.

In the second half, when Atletico Madrid replaced two strikers in the No.705 minute and wanted to put all their eggs in one basket, Real Madrid stepped up their counterattack.

Higuain received Marcelo's cross and shot another goal. At this point in the game, all suspense was basically lost.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Simeone sat on the coach's bench, watching the 3-0 score, only felt a sting in his eyes!
Well, there is still some progress, from losing 1-5 to losing 0-3.
After hastily shaking hands with Mourinho to congratulate, Simeone walked towards his disciples with strong unwillingness.

They'll use this season and this painful loss to hone themselves.

But now, the carnival belongs to the Real Madrid people.

When Iker Casillas won the UEFA Super Cup and caused the audience to cheer, almost the entire European continent trembled under the gaze of Real Madrid.

The fifth crown of the year has been achieved.

Real Madrid.

The king of Europe!
