Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 148 Want to qualify?It all depends on Real Madrid's face now [Please subscribe! 】

"I said before that Atletico Madrid will become stronger and stronger this season. You still laughed at me."

On the afternoon of the second day after playing Zaragoza, the Real Madrid team was doing recovery training, and Li Ang began to give a speech.

Modric, warming up beside him, couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

When he just transferred here at the beginning of this season, when Real Madrid was going to play the UEFA Super Cup against Atletico Madrid, Li Ang kept telling him that Atletico Madrid was nothing to be afraid of.

Now Li Ang changed his words too quickly, and he said it quite confidently.

But other Real Madrid players did not refute Li Ang.

Because before Modric came to Real Madrid to report, Li Ang really said this during the summer training, and was ridiculed by many teammates at that time.

There is no conflict between Atletico Madrid at the beginning of the season and Atletico Madrid getting stronger and stronger.

Because in just two and a half months, Atletico Madrid has completed another starting adjustment.

Simeone has initially fulfilled his promise to Atletico Madrid fans after his defeat in the UEFA Super Cup. He has created an iron-blooded team.

And in the currently fixed Atletico Madrid [-] starting lineup.

Diego Costa, who had been favored by Simeone before as a starter, used his excellent fulcrum to completely activate the Colombian Tigers.

In the past ten rounds of La Liga, Falcao has handed over the data of ten goals and one assist, and he has averaged one goal per game to output firepower.

If Real Madrid now plays against Atletico Madrid, hard power will still prevail, but the game will definitely not be as easy to play as in the UEFA Super Cup.

Of course, no matter how difficult it is to play, the Real Madrid players must still firmly believe that they will win in the end.

Li Ang didn't hold any contrary opinion on this.

The main reason is that he feels that the restrained relationship between Ronaldo and Atletico Madrid is very metaphysical.

Ronaldo is now at the peak of his career, and he is always extra energetic every time he plays Atletico Madrid, always scoring goals.

Real Madrid basically defaulted to leading Atletico Madrid 1-0 before the game was played.

So Li Ang feels that as long as there is no problem with Mourinho's thinking now, then it is still possible to double kill the "incomplete" Atletico Madrid this season.

After finishing the discussion on Atletico Madrid's recent status, the Real Madrid generals devoted themselves to the recovery training.

There are not a few days to prepare for the battle. Apart from today's recovery training, they have two and a half days left to practice tactics and prepare for Dortmund.

The pressure is still not small.

Real Madrid's rotation players, who want to get valuable opportunities to play in the rematch with Dortmund, are working extra hard in training.

Here Mourinho is thinking about home tactics and selection.

On the other side of Dortmund, Germany, Klopp is also struggling with the starting arrangements for the next round of the Champions League.

He and the Dortmund players were unwilling to lose in the last round against Real Madrid.

Even if they understand, in fact, in terms of the scene, Real Madrid kept their strength at the beginning, and did not try their best to attack and try at the beginning like them.

They have personally experienced the offensive ability of Real Madrid's full pressure, and they also admit the gap.

But that didn't stop them from being unconvinced.

The youth army all have this iron-headed child-like temper.

Klopp is very satisfied with the momentum his team maintains now, so his entanglement is not in the offensive and defensive balance of tactics.

What he struggles with is whether to maximize his offensiveness, start directly from the personnel arrangement, and strengthen the midfielder's control and offensive attributes.

Such a brain circuit is very Klopp.

There may be another important reason, that is, Dortmund's current lineup can only work hard to adjust tactics on the offensive end.

If you want to defend more stably, Dortmund's defense is no big problem, the main problem is still in the "waist".

Kyle is too old, and Sven Bender's ability is not top-notch in football.

In addition, Dortmund doesn't have much money to sign in. Klopp just wants to further improve the midfield defense, and he didn't recruit anyone.

Looking at it this way, it is really better to maximize the offensive attributes and use offense instead of defense to fight Real Madrid again.

Losing the ball is because the goals scored are not as many as the opponent!
Therefore, continue to strengthen the offensive ability of the team.

No problem!
Klopp made his own tactical decisions.

He chose to lead his disciples to go crazy again.

So when Dortmund's starting players list was released on November 11, one hour before the start of the game, let alone the Western media, the German media were dumbfounded!

Not to mention Gundogan's starting lineup, Kyle also sat on the bench.

Klopp chose to partner Gundogan and Sven Bender!

This is indeed a set of midfield configurations that Dortmund is currently full of offensive attributes.

Sven Bender + Gundogan + Gotze.

This boldness stunned Mourinho and the Real Madrid players.

At the Bernabeu, Klopp and Dortmund almost completely stole the limelight from Real Madrid's home team.

After hearing the news, Lafayette could only shake his head helplessly.

Originally, he also invited representatives of some sponsors to watch the match at the Bernabéu today.

But now, he regretted it from the bottom of his heart.

It's not that he's afraid that Real Madrid will lose. What he's more afraid of is that Mourinho chooses to defend to the end after knowing Dortmund's aggressive style of play.

That scene doesn't match "beautiful and beautiful" at all.

Winning the game is important, but for Real Madrid's business development and global promotion, the star-studded cards and gorgeous game scenes are more important.

Lafayette has preconceived that Mourinho will continue to play conservative tactics.

But when the players on both sides started to play and stood up after the opening ceremony, Lafayette was pleasantly surprised.

Mourinho didn't think about sticking to the half and fighting back.

On the Real Madrid side, only Alonso lags behind in front of the defenders. Li Ang and Modric, who started today, have prerequisites for their positions!
"It's not four-two-three-one! Real Madrid didn't continue to play four-two-three-one starting formation today, they will play four-three-three at the beginning of today!"

He Wei, who explained the focus of the Champions League match today, was also pleasantly surprised.

He had kept an eye on it before.

Although the live broadcast footage has given a schematic diagram of guesses about the starting formations of both sides, He Wei only introduced the starting players on Real Madrid's side.

Because he had an inexplicable premonition.

He believes that Mourinho will not choose to sacrifice the scene to target after Klopp's clear card tactics.

This is not Mourinho's character.

You can say that Mourinho's tactical choices are sometimes conservative, but he is also a very proud person.

A crazy coach who has already won five championship trophies this year will allow his opponents to show off at his own home court?
Mourinho will not allow this to happen.

This is He Wei's interpretation of the style of Mourinho and the current Mu-style Real Madrid.

And the facts proved that he was right.

Mourinho is tough!
He is going to have a head-to-head confrontation with Klopp at the Bernabeu!
Attack against offense, what field do you want to compete in, then I will compete with you in this field!

The atmosphere at the Bernabéu instantly became more passionate!
Many fans who did not watch the game this time also tuned in quickly in surprise and anticipation under the reminder of their friends.

This is Real Madrid with full firepower. Last season, the number of goals scored the most in Europe, and Real Madrid is unrivaled!

Stimulated by the rapidly soaring ratings, media from all over the world also ran at full capacity to promote the event online at the last moment before the start of the game.

And when the referee blew the whistle, the Real Madrid players who kicked off the ball first also quickly formed their formation and launched a decisive attack on Dortmund's half!
Shocking cheers came from the fans of the two teams. Under the sound, the players of the two teams quickly interspersed in the midfield area.

Alonso's first long pass attempt found Ronaldo first.

After the C compass belt rushed past Royce's defensive interference, he split the ball to the middle, and then he pulled the side and started to run forward!
It's a pity that Benzema, who received the ball this time, didn't pass the ball back. Gundogan, who took the initiative to attack, intercepted the pass, and the offensive and defensive situation on the field also changed accordingly!
Li Ang was also the first Real Madrid midfielder who sensed something was wrong and began to retreat.

Modric took a slow shot, and after Gundogan gave a strong through ball forward, Modric could no longer keep up with the resolutely forward Gotze!
Li Ang pulled the side to Royce at the first time, but Gotze's goal was given to Gross Kreutz who was running wildly on the other side.

Lewandowski rushed into Real Madrid's penalty area. Gross Kreutz made a timely cross this time, but Pepe, who had already been prepared, pushed the ball out of the penalty area first!
Alonso stopped the ball with his back, Gotze hurried forward to interfere, and Lewandowski also retreated to double-team Long Ge's frontcourt defense.

However, with Li Ang's timely response, Brother Long still gave the ball out immediately.

Li Ang resolutely began to stride forward with the ball from his own half, and the Real Madrid fans who watched the scene were full of enthusiasm and kept applauding and cheering!

The game entered a high-intensity offensive and defensive rhythm from the very beginning.

However, today's referee's whistle is relatively loose. In order to ensure the smoothness of the game, some minor fouls were not blown.

So the game scene is quite exciting!
Li Ang picked up Lagce's upper body jersey, and Svenbender forced Modric's defensive action from the side, but the referee didn't blow it.

It wasn't until the 5th minute of the first half that Di Maria pushed from the side and was chased by Gross Kreutz tripped and fell down on his calf. The referee called the first foul of the game!
Players and fans on both sides have nothing to say.

After all, from the current point of view, the referee's whistle-blowing scale is similar to both sides, and it will be fine if it is fair.

Moreover, the players on both sides did not make any bad fouls for the purpose of hurting others.

It doesn't matter about those stumbles, and Di Maria didn't complain, and immediately after getting up, he took a set kick and continued to attack.

When the main energy of the two teams is devoted to the competition for the ball and the fast attack, the wingers on the field naturally become the focus of attention of fans and commentators.

Gross Kreutz's level may be poor, but his physical fitness and willpower are top-notch. He and Royce are on the left and right, and their performance is not bad at all.

Naturally, Real Madrid mainly depends on Ronaldo's performance. Apart from Ronaldo, Di Maria is not the most outstanding wide player.

It's Marcelo!
Ma Pengpeng's active forward penetration caused a lot of trouble for Dortmund's defense on the right and even the entire midfield.

Because he is a complete X variable!

When he used the identity of a full-back to do the job of a winger and did it quite well, Ronaldo's inward or outward movement became more threatening than usual!
It's just that this will make Li Ang work harder.

After all, when Marcelo went up, he had to press forward to respond, but when Marcelo couldn't go back, he had to chase desperately to interfere with Royce's counterattack.

He will be regarded as a real "free man in the audience".

That was from his own penalty area to the front of Dortmund's penalty area, from the left to the center, and he could almost be seen!
If you have to talk about energy investment, he will definitely put more energy on the defensive end than on the offensive end.

But it is also because of his "full image coverage".

Real Madrid's left side was not completely exploded by Royce when their offensive firepower increased greatly, and it became a weak defensive side that Dortmund could use to target.

It was Li Ang's desperate running that made many neutral fans feel that their legs were inexplicably sore.

Fortunately, his hard work is meaningful.

Before Gotze and Reus penetrated Real Madrid's left defense, Real Madrid found an opportunity on Dortmund's right first!

In the 16th minute of the first half, Marcelo took advantage of Cristiano Ronaldo's containment threat to throw off Piszczek and cut inside decisively!
Holding the ball all the way to the top of Dortmund's penalty area, Marcelo chose to pass the ball to Di Maria who was inserted into the right side of Dortmund's penalty area!

Marcelo, the X variable, successfully tore through Dortmund's defense, and Di Maria's single-point breakthrough also made Dortmund's big penalty area into a mess!
Seeing that there was no good opportunity to switch inside, Di Maria could only put out his thoughts of shooting directly.

Before Subotic came over, he chose a vigorous horizontal pass!

Guofeng's running position was slightly forward, but he was very smart not to force the ball, but took advantage of the trend to take away Hummels' defensive attention.

Ronaldo made almost no adjustments at the point behind the goal, changing his left foot and directly pushing the shot from the near corner!

Weidenfeller stretched his legs to block the ball, but his reaction was still a little slow, and he could only look back at the football headlong into the net in the near corner!

Mourinho raised one arm confidently on the sidelines, clenched his fist and waved it, as if everything was under his control!
It's true that the way of fighting is spear against spear, but the sharp spear in his hand has an iron shield at the bottom of the blade that can block the opponent's forward thrusts!
This iron shield is naturally Li Ang!
It seems a bit unfair.

Klopp made it big when he came up, and he really didn't have any more cards to play.

But Mourinho can use Li Ang to cover the defense when he gives it a go.

It is not necessarily required that Li Ang can stop Dortmund's offensive advancement every time.

But while Ronaldo and Marcelo managed five attacking attempts, Reus and Gotze could only successfully initiate four or even fewer three attacking attempts in the same amount of time.

In fact, Real Madrid has already won!
A goal lost in the first half almost determined the passiveness of Dortmund's entire tactical arrangement.

Even if they pulled back a goal in the 307th minute of the first half, the score at this time was only 1-2.

Real Madrid used Dortmund's defensive loopholes to keep looking for offensive opportunities, and the final four goals were their most satisfying harvest.

And Dortmund is indeed tough enough, and the defense will not stop on the offensive end if the defense is punctured.

They finally scored their third goal in stoppage time. Li Ang had already been replaced by Mourinho in advance.

4-3!

This is the final result of both teams letting go!
Mourinho's approach of replacing Li Ang in the last 3 minutes seemed a bit too confident.

But it doesn't hurt, at least in the eyes of the fans, this Champions League group match, which produced a total of seven goals, is worthy of the title of "Focus Battle" dubbed by the media before the game.

On the other side, Manchester City and Ajax, who just drew with a score of 2-2, will also be excited!

They scored two points in four rounds and four points in four rounds, but neither of them panicked yet.

Because now Dortmund also has four rounds and four points!

All three teams still have a chance to qualify, and they all have hope.

It's just that in the back, one counts as one, it all depends on Real Madrid's face!
