Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 15 A completely different second half, the role of Li Ang
After all, Mourinho did not directly replace Khedira at the end of the first half.

He is trying his best to pursue control over the team, and he doesn't like the players under his command to violate his tactical intentions.

But he's not going to be stupid.

But saving Khedira the last bit of face does not mean that Mourinho will not "punish" the German midfielder.

When the referee blew the whistle for the intermission, Mourinho called for Li Ang to enter the locker room with the starting players.

What does this scene represent, there is no need for Mourinho to say too much, Real Madrid's home fans have already discussed it.

And when Real Madrid's starting players all returned to the dressing room, Mourinho signaled Marcelo, who was the last to come in, to close the door.

Li Ang secretly thought it was bad.

Sure enough, the furious Magic Bird directly named and criticized the starters he had recorded in the first half!

In the end, except for Casillas and Harvey Alonso, the rest of the Real Madrid starters were all sprayed with blood.

"I know that some of the people I named came back from the national team in the first three days. You didn't rest well, and your state didn't adjust."

"Well, these excuses can all be excuses for your poor performance today, and they are valid!

But I still want to say that you represent Real Madrid and your opponent is Osasuna!Any idea what this means? "

"It means that if we are tied or even defeated by them today, then you, me, and all of us will appear on the front pages of all Spanish sports newspapers tomorrow!"

"Tell me, do you want to see such headlines? Do you want to see Osasuna send you a humiliating defeat at the Bernabeu?!"

Mourinho's stimulation made Real Madrid's stars feel shame and anger!
They yelled "Never!"

Lost at home to Osasuna at the Bernabeu?

That would be a shameful disaster!

If Barcelona players and fans know the news, they will definitely laugh at Real Madrid.

After all, even Osasuna, who only ranked No.12 in La Liga last season and just led the relegation zone by seven points, can't solve it. How dare you say anything to overthrow Barcelona?
Therefore, Real Madrid players will never tolerate such a failure.

Seeing that the players' anger was aroused and the morale of the army was available, Mourinho slowed down his tone a little.

He began to explain the tactical adjustments in the second half.

Real Madrid's half-court offense seemed lively, but the offensive possession was too scattered, the route was not concentrated, and the defensive end was unbalanced, allowing Osasuna to seize the opportunity to fight back several times, which further affected Real Madrid's offensive investment. strength and efficiency.

Therefore, they must take the lead in making changes, and at the beginning of the second half, they took the lead to complete the offensive suppression of Osasuna.

The main attack line is undisputedly placed on the left where Ronaldo and Marcelo are.

As for the defensive imbalance.

Mourinho looked at Khedira who was silent at the moment, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

He didn't understand why Khedira was always thinking about his B forward move!

It's not that he is not allowed to participate in the offense, but the number and desire of this guy's offense far exceeded the expectations of the coaching staff!
If you say that there is no choice, then you can only ask Alonso to do more dirty work and work harder.

Who made Alonso's strong tactical execution ability also awesome?

But now Mourinho has a choice.

The most important purpose he asked to introduce Khedira was to let him liberate Alonso as much as possible.

Alonso is the core of the team's organization, not just to wipe Khedira's ass and defend him.

Mourinho is optimistic about Khedira's ability and prospects for transformation.

But there is a limit to his patience.

No matter how good your performance is in training, it won't work if you can't produce results in the competition!

Thinking of this, Mourinho directly named Li Ang.

"Switch to the Lions in the second half, Sami (Khedira) take a break, watch the game and find out how you feel. Pay attention to the Lions, you must assist Harvey in the opening stage of the second half to stabilize the midfield defense, even if you use it Fouls can no longer allow Osasuna's counterattack to easily pass through our midfield wings."

Mourinho quickly and concisely pointed out Li Ang's tactical mission.

Li Ang couldn't help nodding, and after listening to it, he confirmed it again, and directly stated that he had no problem.

After Mourinho finished talking about the adjustment of the overall tactical thinking and signaled the players to hurry up and take a break, the atmosphere in the locker room seemed to gradually become lively.

Li Ang checked his equipment.

In particular, after checking that the "broken strong shin guards" and "broken good luck wristbands" are put on, they take the lead in trotting out of the player channel to warm up in advance.

As soon as the second half of the game started, Movistar's La Liga commentator directly discovered the substitution adjustments that Real Madrid took the lead in making.

Without him, Li Ang's sunny and handsome face is too "caring" for the live broadcast camera.

Many Spanish girls who watched the football with their families in front of the TV instantly straightened their eyes!
Soon, he covered his mouth and stared and let out an exclamation in one go.

But before these girls had a chance to taste Li Ang's handsome appearance, Li Ang himself used a fierce sliding shovel to break the girls' filter of his appearance.

Facts have proved that a handsome man is not necessarily an elegant attacker, but may also be an "average" midfielder.

But Li Ang is quite satisfied with his current position.

The opponent's striker might choose to go to his side to break through because he is harmless to humans and animals. He feels that he needs to make the opponent's mind clearer.

A decisive and fierce shovel forced Osasuna striker Kamnas to take off in embarrassment and fell to the ground.

And Li Ang, who kept the ball, quickly poked the ball with his toe on the ground to his master Xavi Alonso who was beside him.

In the sixth second of the second half, Li Ang's first decisive defense took the ball back from the Osasuna players!
And relying on the ball he regained this time, Real Madrid finally played another fast and threatening counterattack.

Even though Benzema's shot missed the goal frame at all in the end, the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu were still very happy to give their applause!

However, the players of Osasuna are somewhat unbelieving.

After 3 minutes, they made a comeback, went wide and tried to play the same set of fast advancement.

Monreal quickly tapped the ball to his midfielder Nekonan as soon as he crossed the halfway line.

Nekonan also tacitly stuffed the ball behind Arbeloa, who was rushing forward, trying to form a simple two-to-one cooperation with Monreal.

But this time the Monreals passed, but the ball was successfully intercepted by a figure who had predicted the attack in advance!

"Leon! The crucial second defense! Oh--! Beautiful diagonal short pass transfer! Soriano missed the ball! Alonso, sent a long pass!!!"

With the passionate speech speed of the Movistar commentator, Real Madrid's transition from defense to offense is also extremely fast!

Li Ang made a steal, quickly connected with Alonso, and then Alonso sent a threatening long pass!

After a few passes without any delay, Ronaldo, who ran forward at high speed from the left, has already got an excellent chance to get down!

This is completely different from Real Madrid, where the offensive arrows were scattered and the offense and defense were unbalanced in the first half!

And the fans who watched this game are very clear who brought such a significant change.

They looked at Real Madrid's backcourt, at the young man who miraculously improved Real Madrid's offensive and defensive rhythm with his defense and smooth short passes.

Does the performance shine?
In fact, still not necessarily.

But he has already started to "glow" weakly and continuously.

Prove his worth in his own way.

His name is Leon.

A little lion from La Fabrica.

Don't be stingy about your expectations of him.

he deserves it.
