Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder
Chapter 133 You are the new kings of the Premier League!
Chapter 133 You are the new kings of the Premier League!
Some people always say that Mourinho is only good at using powerful all-round midfielders, which is a rather ridiculous stereotype.
You can say that Mourinho has such high demands on the midfield and striker that he is too harsh on many players who are not strong enough.
Under heavy pressure, the performance of these players was also limited, and in the end they did not meet the performance expectations of the outside world when they joined the team coached by Mourinho.
But when the players are strong enough and can complete the heavy tactical tasks arranged by Mourinho, then they can often perform super.
Needless to say, the transformation of Deco and Lampard.
Just talking about how powerful Sneijder was inspired to perform under Mourinho in the past few years, most fans and industry insiders must be aware of it.
Modric is one such industry player who knows it well.
He didn't have any doubts or dissatisfaction with Mourinho's request that he was not in a hurry to let himself play before, and arranged for him to focus on defense first in this game.
Now it turns out that his patience and trust were totally worth it.
Mourinho knows what he is best at and how to use him.
That's why he was asked to run in and train with his teammates first, and also asked him not to rush to confront the Sevilla midfielders when he first started.
"Don't worry this season, get used to it first, play more games, I will arrange you and Li Ang to play together more, after he attracts the main defense of the opponent's midfielder, you will find a chance to advance and initiate an offensive rhythm..."
Mourinho's words of patient relief before this game once again surfaced in Modric's mind.
First adapt to the new league, adapt to the new tactical system, and adapt to the different rhythm of the game from the Premier League, and then talk about performance.
These are the not-so-high requirements that Mourinho set for Modric.
And now, Modric has repaid Mourinho's trust in him with his pretty good performance.
It doesn't take a whole season to adapt to the training. After ten days of familiarization with the new teammates, Modric has been able to successfully instigate the attack.
His adaptability and ability exceeded many expectations.
From the organization of the backcourt, the defense, to the threatening pass at the end, his performance in different positions in the midfield has surprised countless fans.
Perhaps, it also includes Mourinho, who was already very optimistic about him.
At present, Li Ang should be the only one who knows exactly what level Modric's upper limit is.
"Great job, Luka, if there is still a good chance later, you can go forward boldly, don't worry about passing the ball wrong, I will do the first line of defensive interception"
After Li Ang hugged and celebrated with Modric, he reminded Modric not to be too restrained, and to give full play to his talent in Mourinho's tactical system.
The active communication between the two was always seen by Mourinho on the sidelines.
He felt he had nothing to worry about.
Even if Modric still needs some time to develop a tacit understanding with more teammates.
But at this stage, with Li Ang's "escort", Mourinho feels that Modric should be able to show about [-] to [-]% of his performance in Tottenham.
This is enough for Alonso to get more rest time to cope with the subsequent Champions League games and league tough battles.
"This step of signing is right. As long as Harvey's appearances are controlled within [-] games, his performance should not be much different from last season."
Kalanka sighed with satisfaction.
As Alonso's age exceeded 30 years old, Real Madrid's team medical team, including the two physical coaches Pintus and Ruiz, suggested that Alonso should not be allowed to play excessive games in the new season.
The first half of the season is actually okay, I am afraid that Alonso's performance in the second half of the season will decline sharply due to physical limitations.
Or encounter more serious injury problems, then Real Madrid's record will inevitably be affected.
So for Modric, the expectation placed by the Real Madrid coaching team is not to let him only be a midfield glue or a main rotation.
Mourinho bought him to train him to become the new core of Real Madrid's frontcourt.
Follow-up Alonso is getting older and older, if he can accept it, sooner or later he will slowly sit on the bench.
At that time, one Li Ang and one Modric will become the two core playmakers of Real Madrid's front and back courts.
This is the most ideal construction mode for Real Madrid's new tactical system after the lineup transition.
Establishing a dual-core offense and defense, Modric has the terminal Ronaldo in front of him, Pepe Ramos behind Li Ang, and Casillas has a stable performance. This central axis can continue to fight for at least three or four years.
Mourinho's considerations are still very long-term, and he has been considering the next few seasons since the time of buying.
He even thought of using a whole season to adapt and transform Modric.
Compared with building the team, how could he be afraid of other coaches in football?
As long as enough time and trust are given, he promises to bring Real Madrid a "super battleship" that can dominate football for four or five seasons!
"Matuidi's performance is also good. Xia Chuang's signings were very successful, and Hesse was promoted to the first team in the future. We have no shortage of people on the offensive line."
Mourinho was in a good mood and chatted with Karanka for a few more words.
After the game restarted, Real Madrid, which took the lead first, played more leisurely.
Sevilla didn't mess up their position in this meeting. After suffering a big loss, they chose to seize control in the midfield and Real Madrid first.
Rakitic and Medel's personal strength is very good.
It's a pity that they met Li Ang today who was not afraid of confrontation.
It doesn't matter if you lose the ball, Li Ang used the running and sweeping force that covered almost the entire midfield after full firepower to carry Sevilla's two major midfielders.
Li Ang, who doesn't have too many worries about physical loss, just wants to say more than chaotic battles and ball scrambles.
All the Sevilla midfielders present here are all happy!
Michelle, who made a wrong tactical decision, regretted it after seeing Li Ang's brave performance on the court.
Because Medel couldn't control his temper after being annoyed by Li Ang's teasing, and after losing the ball, he almost completely ran towards someone and knocked down Li Ang from the flank!
Well, a yellow card for Sevilla's main defensive midfielder is definitely inevitable.
The key is that the game has only lasted to No. 208 minutes in the first half!
There are still more than 60 minutes to play, and Medel dare not make too many defensive moves in the follow-up. How can he fight against Real Madrid?
Facing a severe defensive situation in the middle, Michel didn't even wait for the intermission, and replaced Maduro with Kondogbia in the 307th minute of the first half.
Medella kicked the right midfielder, and Kondogbia kicked the midfielder after playing.
These adjustments played a big role, and Modric's performance on the left was once again silenced by Medel's restrictions.
Li Ang also reduced the number of forced advances in the face of Kondogbia, and used more long and short passes to mobilize the team's offensive route and rhythm.
However, Di Maria's performance today was not particularly online. Several strong inward cut shots failed to hit the goal frame, wasting a lot of opportunities.
Real Madrid eventually entered the break with a narrow one-goal lead.
In the second half, Li Ang and Modric switched positions again. He continued to face Medel, while Modric and Rakitic fought each other.
The two brothers in the Croatian national team are too familiar with each other's playing characteristics and habits, and neither of them is a strong intercepting midfielder, so the confrontation is not fierce.
On the other hand, Li Ang bullied Medel for having a yellow card, and repeatedly went up to tease Medel's temper.
Michel was almost paralyzed. He never expected that Li Ang, who usually seems to play football with a calm style, would have such a generous side!
In desperation, Michel could only make another substitution decision. In the No. 60 second minute of the second half, Medel was replaced in depression and annoyance.
And just 1 minute before he left the field, he was hugged by his teammate Kondogbia during another emotional conflict with Li Ang, and was dragged away from the conflict site.
Otherwise, he would not have been substituted, but would have received a second yellow card and been sent off.
He was replaced by Sevilla's young teenager Campania.
Michelle didn't expect too much from this young player, he only hoped that he could do a good job in organizing and distributing the ball, and at the same time, he would not be bullied too badly by Li Ang on the defensive end.
But this time, Li Ang and Modric completed a flexible swap.
Matuidi, who was standing behind the two of them, couldn't hold back watching this scene, and grinned directly.
Many Sevilla fans shook their heads helplessly. Their midfielder was stunned by the frequent switching of positions by Li Ang and Modric today.
Medel was replaced in advance, Li Ang did not attack Kondogbia's frontal defense, and Modric no longer had to face too much defensive pressure.
Facing Campania, who is not too different from his own figure, Modric's organization forward performance became active again.
Real Madrid once again strengthened the offensive.
In the 703rd minute of the off-duty game, Callejon, who came on as a substitute for Di Maria, overtook and broke through Rakitic's marking.
Before the Sevilla left-back Navarro pressed out to intercept, Callejon completed the inward cross.
This time, Benzema took off Seville's high school defender Botia with a very spiritual early jump.
And another old Sevilla central defender Spasic, who is only 1.8 meters three, will find it difficult to resist Ronaldo's forward jump.
A powerful top shot allowed Ronaldo to once again break through the gate guarded by Sevilla goalkeeper Palop and scored twice!
And this familiar scene of killing an opponent while controlling a steady rhythm made countless fans who were waiting to see Real Madrid stumble choose to turn off the TV in advance.
2-0 scores are common, not big, and not particularly safe.
But for Real Madrid, which has rotated some of its main players today, it is completely an acceptable result.
Although Sevilla's league rankings in the past two seasons were not very high, they are still a difficult and tough opponent.
Real Madrid fans are quite satisfied with being able to securely win such an opponent before the arrival of the Champions League group stage.
And Modric, who performed well in this game, also won the initial approval of Real Madrid fans.
It was a successful debut.
There is no personal data, but the excellent cooperation between Modric and Li Ang, and his important role in both offense and defense, made him successfully selected for the key reports of various sports Western media the next day.
After finishing the fourth round of La Liga (Because the previous match coincided with the UEFA Super Cup, Real Madrid's third round of La Liga was postponed).
The Real Madrid team did not have too long to rest, and three days later they ushered in the first round of the Champions League group stage of the new season.
Real Madrid have been drawn into a group with Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and old rival Ajax this season.
Yes, you read that right, Real Madrid are in the same group as Ajax again.
Regarding UEFA, the current Ajax coaches and players are too lazy to protest anymore, it is really "unable to say".
Competing in the same group as Real Madrid for three consecutive seasons, can this be called a coincidence? !
The operation of the official push of the two teams can be regarded as old acquaintances, and they have been interacting with each other before the start of the Champions League group stage.
Real Madrid's official tweet cheered Ajax and asked them to try Dortmund first.
Ajax's official tweet also cheered Real Madrid, asking Real Madrid to help them suppress Manchester City's points and goal difference first.
Fans on both sides also started friendly interactions on the Internet.
After all, Real Madrid's goal is to qualify for the top spot in the group, while Ajax wants to sit on the sidelines.
If you can't qualify in the end, it's not bad to continue to play in the Europa League. After all, there is an extra income. Ajax fans are also used to such a process every season.
However, under the guidance of public opinion, the friendly interaction between the two teams made Manchester City quite unhappy.
No, one of you wants to qualify for the first place in the group, and the other is confident that you can at least keep the third place in the group.
What's the matter, co-authoring our new Premier League king is so useless, if you can't get the second place in the group, you can only get out of the fourth place?
Unconvinced Manchester City fans started fighting back online.
Manchester City's players did not accept interviews before the game to express their views on this season's Champions League trip.
However, on the night of September 9, when the starting candidates of Real Madrid and Manchester City were all released before the game, the media reporters from all walks of life instantly became excited.
The whole Manchester City team seems a little dissatisfied!
At Real Madrid's home court, a formation of [-] was set up, what should I say?
Want to teach the defending Champions League champions a lesson in midfield control?
One midfielder, two central midfielders, two wide midfielders, dare to put on such a formation, it can only be said to be brave!
Mourinho also laughed at it before the game, and he didn't need to encourage his disciples any more.
He knows that in today's game, the performance of the Real Madrid players who fought back will not be bad.
When the eight Champions League group matches started at the same time that night, the ratings of Real Madrid and Manchester City skyrocketed almost instantly!
Not only in Spain and England, but also in East Asia and America, the soaring overseas ratings made UEFA executives laugh.
They don't care if Real Madrid will lose tonight or how badly Manchester City loses in the end.
They just want to hold Mancini and give him a big applause!
You have to play like this.
You Manchester City are not fat, how could the ratings of the first round of the Champions League be so explosive!
At this moment, the Manchester City players, who seemed to have added a lot of courage, also launched a heroic offensive against Real Madrid on the field.
They are qualified for this.
The combination of David Silva, Nasri and Yaya Toure in the midfield does have sufficient technical advantages.
Even though Real Madrid played a [-] starting formation today, they are not at all afraid of Manchester City in terms of the number of midfielders.
But Mourinho still chose to stabilize his hand first and consolidate the midfield defense.
Modric, who started again, actively participated in the retreat and defense.
The rest of the Real Madrid players were more calm.
In particular, Li Ang and Alonso tacitly used steady interception and pressure again and again to force back Manchester City's forward pressure test in the middle.
Manchester City's four attacking midfielders plus the more versatile Carlos Tevez still played a very smooth scene when passing the ball.
It is that they have been surrounding Real Madrid's defensive third area and frequently looking for opportunities to cut in, but they have never been able to penetrate Real Madrid's midfield interception line.
When the opening game was played for almost 10 minutes, the situation remained the same.
Manchester City's seemingly sharp offensive could not pierce Real Madrid's defensive shield.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, seemed to have little interest in attacking, and they were still fighting Manchester City in their own half.
The Real Madrid fans who watched the scene became a little impatient again.
In the past, when Real Madrid chose to withdraw their fists to defend first, it was not such a situation of being passively beaten all the time.
Many fans couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Mourinho's gourd, and the old problem happened again, and they began to boo sporadically.
Li Ang sighed helplessly when he heard the familiar hiss.
Really, this scene is unique in global football.
Ask any other club fans who boo their players for a temporary tactical retreat.
Although he was used to it, Li Ang never thought it was a habit worth talking about and advocating.
Shaking his head, Li Ang simply blocked the interference of these boos to himself, and devoted himself to the defensive oppression of Manchester City's offensive players.
In the No.13 minute of the first half, Modric, who returned to defense, created a chance for Li Ang to double-team Silva.
Silva vigilantly crossed the ball to the center first, but Alonso, who had been prepared for a long time, blocked the connection between Silva and the retreating Tevez at this time!
Real Madrid's frontcourt players immediately launched a counterattack sprint.
Seeing that the forwards on both wings of his side hadn't run away, Alonso didn't immediately send a long pass, but gave the ball to Li Ang, who also started after the same start.
David Silva chased back immediately.
However, his partner Yaya Toure did not invest enough on the defensive end.
Even though he got stuck in the middle first, it was difficult for Li Ang to force his way through Manchester City's half.
But I don't know if it was intentional or not. Yaya Toure was so slow for a beat that Li Ang made the ball pick up speed and broke through the defensive area between him and Barry!
How could Barry's speed keep up with Li Ang!
Today, he participated in the attack with Yaya Toure in the first position again. If he didn't delay, he could only count on Xavi Garcia, who was at the end of the midfield.
But Li Ang is not a midfielder who likes to play one-stop sprints.
In an instant, he captured the trajectory of Ronaldo's adduction and insertion. Without hesitation, he kicked his feet and sent a mid-range through pass directly to the ground!
As if taking off, Ronaldo turned offside in an instant and threw away Maicon, who was no longer fast. At the critical moment when Kompany rushed to defend, Ronaldo chose to kick the goal directly!
At a position about 28 meters away from the goal, Ronaldo's heavy artillery is very powerful!
But Joe Hart, who is now highly acclaimed in the Premier League, seemed to be stunned, and made a save with a slow reaction!
His speed was really too slow, the football was almost half a distance ahead of his intercepting palm, and it hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal!
And the nearly [-] Real Madrid fans at the Bernabéu jumped wildly and cheered at this moment!
Li Ang and Modric covered their heads at this moment.
Ronaldo first showed his strong thigh muscles to the live broadcast camera, then turned around with a big smile and hugged Li Ang and Modric warmly!
At this moment, the dazed Mancini became another object of enthusiastic capture of the live broadcast camera.
And Mourinho's roar seemed to be slapping Manchester City in the face!
what?
Are you the new king of the Premier League? !
Send as much as you write, big guys.
Tomorrow will continue, and from tomorrow morning onwards, the foodies will keep coding.
Write as much as you want, post as much as you want, and leave no manuscripts!

The Real Madrid team did not have too long to rest, and three days later they ushered in the first round of the Champions League group stage of the new season.
Real Madrid have been drawn into a group with Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and old rival Ajax this season.

The Real Madrid fans who watched the scene became a little impatient again.
In the past, when Real Madrid chose to withdraw their fists to defend first, it was not such a situation of being passively beaten all the time.
Many fans couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Mourinho's gourd, and the old problem happened again, and they began to boo sporadically.
Li Ang sighed helplessly when he heard the familiar hiss.
Really, this scene is unique in global football.
Ask any other club fans who boo their players for a temporary tactical retreat.
Although he was used to it, Li Ang never thought it was a habit worth talking about and advocating.
Shaking his head, Li Ang simply blocked the interference of these boos to himself, and devoted himself to the defensive oppression of Manchester City's offensive players.
In the No.13 minute of the first half, Modric, who returned to defense, created a chance for Li Ang to double-team Silva.
Silva vigilantly crossed the ball to the center first, but Alonso, who had been prepared for a long time, blocked the connection between Silva and the retreating Tevez at this time!
Real Madrid's frontcourt players immediately launched a counterattack sprint.
Seeing that the forwards on both wings of his side hadn't run away, Alonso didn't immediately send a long pass, but gave the ball to Li Ang, who also started after the same start.
David Silva chased back immediately.
However, his partner Yaya Toure did not invest enough on the defensive end.
Even though he got stuck in the middle first, it was difficult for Li Ang to force his way through Manchester City's half.
But I don't know if it was intentional or not. Yaya Toure was so slow for a beat that Li Ang made the ball pick up speed and broke through the defensive area between him and Barry!
How could Barry's speed keep up with Li Ang!
Today, he participated in the attack with Yaya Toure in the first position again. If he didn't delay, he could only count on Xavi Garcia, who was at the end of the midfield.
But Li Ang is not a midfielder who likes to play one-stop sprints.
In an instant, he captured the trajectory of Ronaldo's adduction and insertion. Without hesitation, he kicked his feet and sent a mid-range through pass directly to the ground!
As if taking off, Ronaldo turned offside in an instant and threw away Maicon, who was no longer fast. At the critical moment when Kompany rushed to defend, Ronaldo chose to kick the goal directly!
At a position about 28 meters away from the goal, Ronaldo's heavy artillery is very powerful!
But Joe Hart, who is now highly acclaimed in the Premier League, seemed to be stunned, and made a save with a slow reaction!
His speed was really too slow, the football was almost half a distance ahead of his intercepting palm, and it hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal!
And the nearly [-] Real Madrid fans at the Bernabéu jumped wildly and cheered at this moment!
Li Ang and Modric covered their heads at this moment.
Ronaldo first showed his strong thigh muscles to the live broadcast camera, then turned around with a big smile and hugged Li Ang and Modric warmly!
At this moment, the dazed Mancini became another object of enthusiastic capture of the live broadcast camera.
And Mourinho's roar seemed to be slapping Manchester City in the face!
what?
Are you the new king of the Premier League? !
