Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 14

Mourinho arrived at the Valdebebas training base early in the morning on September 9.

Today is the day when Real Madrid's first team players who did not participate in the national team game resume training together.

He will arrive early with the coaching staff to prepare.

As a well-known "catch" coach in football, Mourinho is very concerned about daily training.

From the first day of his arrival in Valdebebas, Mourinho has "concerned" about the quality of the turf, training facilities, jerseys and shoes, and even the new and old locker cabinets in the base.

He is outspoken about what the club does not do well, he is meticulous in management and likes to communicate directly with the staff.

Therefore, although he has brought unprecedented pressure to many staff members in the base.

But correspondingly, the entire base has indeed improved the efficiency of operation and preparation.

However, on weekdays, Mourinho is mostly a serious image in front of everyone.

At this moment, in his office, he was both joyful and helpless watching the training time and special report about Li Ang and Ronaldo.

It's not that he doesn't like the hard work of his players.

Additional training is a good thing, which shows that players have higher requirements and ambitions for themselves.

But now Li Ang and Ronaldo are completely "overdoing" the situation.

This caused him to have "happiness troubles" in a situation where he was extremely satisfied.

But it is definitely not acceptable to directly deny the two. Mourinho does not want to dampen their enthusiasm for additional training.

So after considering some words, Mourinho called the two people who arrived at the training base first in the morning into the office one by one for patient communication.

For Ronaldo, praise must be more than preaching.

Mourinho praised Ronaldo, and emphasized again the core position of Ronaldo in his tactical system, and then euphemistically proposed that Ronaldo should pay more attention to rest.

As for Li Ang, Mourinho did not have so many twists and turns, and the conversation was relaxed and straightforward.

"You are still young, don't practice too much, you have a position and opportunity with me, take your time, don't train yourself to the point of failure, is it a bit stressful recently? You have my number there, Sometimes when you are in a bad mood, you can call me."

Li Ang looked at Mourinho who was chattering in front of him, and patiently listened to the other party's "persuasion", and his heart was inevitably moved.

He doesn't know why the head coach has become more and more kind to him recently, but he can feel Mourinho's sincere care for him.

The rigor and pressure on the training ground remains the same.

But in private, Mourinho is indeed concerned about his life and growth.

As for pressure, Li Ang has always looked at it from two sides.

Of course, he will push back against those who intentionally put pressure on disgusting people.

But if the other party puts pressure on you with great expectations and goodwill, hoping that you can further break through the limit of growth, Li Ang will gladly accept it.

After all, it is the soul of the uncle in the shell of a young body. This ability to distinguish right from wrong and to endure is still there.

Mourinho was also very satisfied to see that Li Ang listened to his persuasion without any impatience.

He likes the "competitive" talent that Li Ang has shown more and more recently, and he likes Li Ang's maturity that doesn't match his age.

Young players who are transparent at one point are really rare.

In terms of talent, Li Ang is no match for Balotelli, whom he had brought in during his two years at Inter Milan.

But if Mourinho chooses, he will only choose to train Li Ang.

For him, talent is of course important.

But the maturity of thinking, the fit of communication, and the firmness of spiritual will are more precious qualities.

"Go, prepare well for the training in the morning. You can come to me at any time if you have anything to do. Don't force yourself during the training. Remember to go to the physical therapy room for check-ups on time!"

Mourinho finally patted Li Ang on the shoulder, and sent him out of the office with a smile in a good mood.

After spending the morning episode, the dozen or so players in Real Madrid's first team all noticed that their head coach seemed to be smiling more than usual today.

Of course, after the training session with the same intensity officially started, Mourinho's smile is not much better than the devil's smile.

Because none of the Central and South American countries recruited players to play friendly matches on this international match day, Di Maria and Marcelo, who had indulged a little during the two-day holiday, were almost not kneeled.

When the other players finished their morning training tasks and began to rest, they still had to complete the five-kilometer running circle with a sad face.

And with the "negative teaching material", the rest of the Real Madrid players also deeply understood a truth.

That is, Mourinho doesn't care what they did during the holidays, how crazy they played.

But they have to have steelyards in their hearts.

Otherwise, Di Maria and Marcelo this morning may be them next time.

During the intensive training for the battle, the physical and mental state of the Real Madrid players have quickly been well adjusted.

And Khedira, who has already returned from injury, does not know if he has a sense of crisis about his starting position.

He did not go to the German team to report this time, but stayed at the Baldbebas base and actively practiced with the club teammates
One thing to say, his performance in training is still very good.

Although he still likes to go forward from time to time, his defense is indeed more active than when he first came to Real Madrid to report.

The healthy Khedira has plenty of physical fitness and can also cover a large area of ​​the midfield.

Not to mention the actual effect, but it looks quite like that.

If he is willing to spend more time on defense and doing dirty work.

As far as his current strength and hardware quality are concerned, Li Ang and Las Diarra can only play after him.

Even if Mourinho is optimistic about Li Ang, he still needs to put the transformation of Khedira at the top of his work at this stage.

Li Ang may become the top defensive midfielder he likes in the future.

But once Khedira thinks about "turning the corner", Real Madrid will now have the hardest double midfielder combination in Europe.

So after weighing, the coaching staff still put Khedira in the first team to train with more main players.

On September 9th, Harvey Alonso and Ramos and other first-team players who had participated in the national team competition all returned.

The starting lineups for the next round of Real Madrid and Osasuna's La Liga are almost out.

On the night of September 9th, the Bernabéu Stadium.

Li Ang, Di Maria and Canales sat on the bench covering their mouths and discussing.

And Mourinho was very dissatisfied with the situation of the game that was unable to start the game for a long time and was almost succeeded by Osasuna.

No.40 and two minutes into the first half, Real Madrid still had no way to beat Osasuna, and the score remained at 0-0.

The Real Madrid fans at the Bernabéu expressed their displeasure very bluntly.

hiss.

From sporadic sounds to complete films.

Ronaldo's face was ugly.

Benzema looked at a "dead man" with almost zero defense ability, and finally did not complain.

Alonso was panting in the backcourt, and at the same time tried to calm his breath.

He doesn't like to complain, but Khedira just went forward to attack and then returned to the defense and was not in place. He really almost couldn't help but want to spray people!
It is another game that requires both organization and the heavy responsibility of returning to defense.

It's not that he's against wiping Khedira's butt.

But the German kid asked him to fill up the position every time he came back, and he swung his feet on the offensive end, but he didn't see any accuracy.

It's really better to focus on the defensive end first, strangle Osasuna's counterattack first, and then play his tricks and then attack, so that everyone can play more easily, right?
Unlike the last round, which played smoothly and reassuringly, most of the Real Madrid players in this round of the league played too badly.

Alonso tired, Ramos and Carvalho faced more direct attacks from the opponent's forwards, and the offensive players in the frontcourt got fewer offensive rounds and possession of the ball.

Thinking of this, except Khedira and a certain "dead man" who didn't play in the last round of the league.

Real Madrid's stars all remembered the last round of the league, yelling in the backcourt to remind them to go up boldly, and he himself would be responsible for making up for interceptions and chasing the little lions.

How reassuring it is to have a teammate in the backcourt who is willing and able to do the dirty work!

Ronaldo muttered a few words irritably.

He began to dislike this German teammate who often went forward.

He wants King Gou's little lion!
