Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 153 I heard that Atletico Madrid wants to take over? [Please subscribe! 】

After all, the fans of Manchester City failed to wait for the news of the draw between Dortmund and Ajax they were looking forward to.

Klopp used a hearty four-goal victory in an away game to prove that he was not talking big before.

Basically, Dortmund, who has figured out the current strength of other opponents in Group D, is fully fired, defeated Ajax in the first battle, and simply cut off Manchester City's theoretical possibility of qualifying.

Now the situation in Group D is very clear. Dortmund, with seven points in five rounds, has taken the initiative to qualify for the second place in the group.

Ajax with four points in five rounds depends on whether Real Madrid will give face in the last round.

As for Manchester City, which only has two points in five rounds, it still depends on Real Madrid's face in the end.

Real Madrid won Ajax, so as long as they win Dortmund, they still have the qualification to fight for the third Europa League in the group.

But if Real Madrid use a large number of rotation players like this round, and Ajax seizes the opportunity again, then they will go directly to the bottom.

Of course, only Ajax and Manchester City are the only ones who will count points, and Dortmund will not think so much.

Even if they can securely qualify as long as they draw with Manchester City in the last round, for the players of Klopp and the Hornets, they just want to win now!
Real Madrid has no psychological burden at all.

Don't say that Real Madrid doesn't give affection or opportunity, they are already interesting enough to play against Manchester City this round.

Counting the main players, Real Madrid started three, Casillas, Leon and Ronaldo.

Among them, Ronaldo didn't play long in the second half, so Manchester City dared to lose 1-2, so they really couldn't grasp the opportunity.

Mourinho didn't particularly care about the next two Champions League group matches.

It is used for training and to let Ronaldo continue to maintain the feeling of scoring goals.

The Real Madrid players who come up in rotation must have to work hard.

But if you Manchester City and Ajax's main players can't fight against a group of kids, that's your own problem.

The recent performance of this group of Real Madrid youth training players has once again aroused great discussions among fans in other leagues.

If the joint appearance of Real Madrid Castilla's new five eagles last season was just for these fans to watch.

This season, Real Madrid's young players, who have performed better and better, have successfully made these fans greedy.

Li Ang stopped talking.

The Milan version of the little lion, who wore a red and black jersey and helped Milan win the double crown, is still the "regret" that Milan's old buddies often talk about.

Nacho, his stable performance on the defensive end has won him the recognition of many fans, and the panacea attribute has added a lot of points to him.

Vazquez can also play on both sides of the frontcourt, and the statistics are not too outstanding, but the rotation is enough, and he can go to whichever side is needed.

Carvajal and Morata, who are currently playing more prominently, have received close attention from many other league teams.

High-quality and young full-backs and high center forwards are scarce in football at any time.

If one day Real Madrid is willing to let these young players except Li Ang go out to exercise again.

Don't even think about it, Carvajal and Morata will definitely be the most popular among them.

Five young talents in their early 20s, plus a newly promoted Jesse who seems to be full of talent at present.

The quality of Real Madrid's youth training has attracted too many clubs and fans.

The media who used to say that Mourinho can't use young people will have been silent for a long time.

With the internal stability of the team like the current situation and no problem with the results, Mourinho can also give young players more playing time and opportunities for trial and error.

You can't ask a head coach to produce results in a short period of time while also asking him to vigorously train young people.

It won't work for anyone else.

Mr. Wenger is now able to steadily enter the Champions League every season with a child, which is actually quite difficult.

In the next few years, Wenger chose to fulfill the "expectation" of public opinion and fans, and after letting go freely, only those who sprayed him at the beginning understood.

How awesome is his ability to train players and support his record!
He is the only one in football who can do this. After him, there is no other head coach who can continue to enter the top four of the Premier League so steadily with low investment every season.

Mourinho is definitely incomparable to Wenger in this respect, but his use of young players can also be regarded as top-notch in football.

Of course, the premise is that the young player can accept his preaching and discipline.

Fortunately, none of today's young Real Madrid players are thorny, and there are Li Ang and Nacho in the lead.

Mourinho's little demon training plan is going smoothly, and he doesn't feel that any child makes him worry.

With multiple satisfactions, after this Champions League game, the young players in the team have no major physical problems.

So Mourinho decided to give them a surprise reward.

On the evening of November 11th, in the No.24 round of La Liga as a guest to challenge Real Betis, Real Madrid's "B team" continued to start the game!
Cassie had a rest today, and Adan also got the chance to start the game after a long absence.

Cristiano Ronaldo is in good form, and he only played 10 minutes in the game against Manchester City, so Mourinho continued to use him and Li Ang today.

Real Madrid's opponent today is also Real Betis, the team that Li Ang rented out for the first time. In fact, the hard power is not weak anymore.

In the first twelve rounds of the league, Real Betis won six of them and lost only four. They are currently ranked sixth in La Liga, beating Sevilla and Valencia.

Before the match, Li Ang exchanged pleasantries with his former teammates, jokingly telling them to take it easy today, so as not to beat up his little brothers.

Although they only played with each other for half a year, Real Betis' current No. [-] core player Beniat still maintains a good relationship with Li Ang.

"If you hadn't been recalled by Real Madrid at the airport in the summer of 10, we might have been playing European games this season. It's a pity"

"What is the European competition, please explain clearly and be confident, old Barry, if we are still playing together, we will definitely be playing in the Champions League this season!"

"Hahaha! Okay, little lion, you have the final say. If you really want to stay, I will give you the number ten."

"It's okay, it's not too late for you to take it off for me now."

"Forget it then, hey, I was just joking."

"Fuck off. Come on, Barea, and go to the Europa League next year. Don't forget to leave me your jersey after the game."

"no problem!"

The hugs and exchanges between the two before the game were very friendly and cordial.

But when the whistle sounded for the start of the game, both of them were also the core midfielders who played the hardest on the field.

The same back position, the same offensive and defensive rhythm.

Beniate and Leon have both improved significantly after two years respectively.

In addition to being inferior to Li Ang in physical fitness and defense, Beniat is actually no weaker than Li Ang in terms of organization and ability to send threatening balls.

So the contest between the two of them on the same stage today is also quite exciting, and it can be regarded as a back and forth in terms of performance.

However, Li Ang still gained the limelight on the interception end by relying on a more solid and powerful defense.

Real Betis' current top scorer, Castro, who scored [-] league goals last season, is a short, agile striker of opportunity.

His shooting skills are very good, and he has a strong ability to grasp opportunities, but he still prefers to pass the ball from his teammates.

So the better Li Ang's interception performance is, the more uncomfortable Castro will play.

After all, Real Betis has fewer offensive possessions, and the ability to deliver offensive shells is weakened. Isn't he the most uncomfortable.

At the critical moment, Real Betis still has to look at Beniat, the core of the midfield.

He sent a key backcourt penetrating long pass in the No.30 two minutes of the first half!
Castro's lateral running before the start made him succeed in anti-offside very spiritually!
Carvajal's slightly forward offensive position became a loophole in Real Madrid's defense at this moment.

Nacho was immediately thrown away by Castro's running position, but he had the advantage of accelerating from the back, so he didn't panic.

But he didn't expect Castro to decisively choose to shoot the moment he just stepped into the Real Madrid penalty area!
This is the keen sense of smell and experience judgment of a 31-year-old striker!
Adan immediately thought of attacking and cooperating with Nacho to destroy Castro's semi-single chance.

So he didn't expect Castro to be so confident, and he shot directly on the penalty area line.

Castro hit this kick very cleverly. The speed of the ball is not particularly fast, but it just clings to the turf and slightly bounces, aiming at the far corner of the goal!

Adan immediately kicked the ground and stretched his arms to reach the ball, but the two steps he took before laid the groundwork.

The angle of the shot was too tricky, and he couldn't touch the ball with all his strength!

The football rolled slowly but firmly towards the far corner of the goal.

But when Castro was ecstatic in his heart, a white figure also resolutely accelerated towards Real Madrid's goal!
"Leon is still chasing after him!!!"

Movistar's La Liga commentator yelled, and his voice seemed to be breaking at this moment!
Almost at the moment when the football pressed the line, Li Ang "thrown" himself out. Seeing that the distance was still short, he could only boldly choose to poke hard!
Don't get me wrong, Li Ang doesn't want to score an own goal and make headlines right now, instead of poking the ball into the goal with his toe.

In the end, he used his ingenuity and tried his best to poke the ball horizontally with his toes!

At the critical moment, it must be too late to hook the ball, so Li Ang can only gamble.

Bet he can change the direction of the ball slightly, even if the football still has to roll into the goal in the end, at least he can buy a second or two more time.

He is also betting that his teammates have not given up and can drive the ball completely out of their penalty area before the Real Betis players make up shots.

These two steps, one wrong step, Real Madrid can't change the result of being scored by Real Betis first.

The moment Li Ang poked the ball, he swayed sideways and hit the goal post.

It hurts!

Under the huge force, Li Ang only felt pain in his thigh muscles and waist and abdomen muscles.

Fortunately, he saw Nacho who appeared in front of his eyes in the next second!

The football was finally kicked out of the penalty area by Nacho before it changed the direction of travel and was about to cross the line as a whole!

The Real Madrid fans who were not enough for this meeting were not happy. They looked at Li Ang lying in their penalty area with worried and anxious faces!

"Team doctor!!!"

Sweat broke out on Mourinho's forehead in an instant, and he yelled for the team doctors to hurry up and check Li Ang!
In the chaotic Real Madrid penalty area, Castro, who missed the chance to score just now, couldn't care less about being upset. He rushed to Li Ang with the Real Madrid players and surrounded him protectively.

"Don't move! Don't move his little lion. How do you feel?"

Nacho yelled to open up a certain space, and also looked anxiously at Li Ang who was lying on the turf with a uncomfortable expression.

"pain"

Li Ang called out in a short voice, which startled all the players around him.

Castro even covered his mouth and glanced at Li Ang's lumbar spine, his eyes were full of panic and unbearable.

But after Li Ang took a few short breaths tentatively, he put his hands together and half sat up again like that!

Castro's eyes widened, and Real Madrid's backcourt players Nacho and Adan were even more taken aback and hurried forward to support Li Ang.

"Didn't you just say it hurts?"

"Phew, it hurts! Can the muscles not hurt if you hit such a big pillar?"

"Flawed?"

"Ah, my muscles still hurt! But the joints and bones should be fine."

"Then you were lying on the ground and making that expression just now!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense, it doesn't take time for me to feel whether my joints are injured?"

Seeing that Li Ang had turned over and stood up by himself on the turf, and still had the energy to argue with Nacho, the corners of Castro's mouth twitched.

He was worrying in vain just now.

However, such a ruthless blow was just a flawed injury, and Castro had to say in his heart:
"This kid's body is really fucking tough!"

Mourinho is also covering his forehead with joy and anger.

He remembered that once before, Li Ang made a dangerous defensive move in order to destroy the opponent's offensive opportunity, and he scolded Li Ang at that time.

But now it seems that Li Ang didn't take his warning to heart.

Looking at the performance on the field, Li Ang's approach is very professional, and his spirit is worthy of praise.

But Mourinho really would rather see Real Madrid being scored first than see Li Ang make these dangerous defensive choices.

Is it possible to get lucky every time you get lucky once or twice?

"This bastard boy!"

After cursing, Mourinho felt relieved when he saw Li Ang, who was already trying to jump under the inspection of the team doctors.

The game continued soon, and Li Ang didn't even go to the sidelines to receive observation and treatment from the team doctor. This tough physical fitness also left a deep impression on today's referee team.

After the episode, Li Ang helped Real Madrid escape with a wonderful and thrilling personal recovery performance.

The direct connection between Beniat and Castro also attracted the attention of Real Madrid defenders.

However, Carvajal did not withdraw his position because of this.

He still maintained an offensive position, and Mourinho also emphasized the need to continue to put pressure on Real Betis' defense.

Because Real Betis' defense is actually at the mid-range level of La Liga, but their number of goals ranks in the current top four of La Liga.

Therefore, if Real Madrid does not seize the offensive initiative and surrenders the control of the midfield, it happens to be the scene that Real Betis most wants to see.

They prefer to attack, and they are confident that Real Madrid's rotation defense can find opportunities to penetrate.

No matter how good Li Ang performed, without Alonso and Essien to partner with him today, he would not be able to cover everything and protect the entire midfield at all times.

Real Betis will always hope to catch the defensive errors of Matuidi and Modric.

It's a pity that Mourinho just won't give Real Betis a chance to fully suppress at this time.

It can be said that Real Betis has always been the loser in terms of offensive hedging.

Their defense is really mediocre.

After Beniat needs to be more distracted and take care of defense, he can only have more than enough energy in offensive organization.

The two teams finally tied in the first half, but Mourinho and the Real Madrid players' trust in Ronaldo was rewarded first.

In the first half, Ronaldo didn't perform very well under the targeted marking of Real Betis, and he didn't get a good chance to attack.

But in the 7 minutes of the second half, in a quick pass and cut cooperation with the ball forward, Ronaldo stopped and shot in one go!
He didn't give Real Betis goalkeeper Adrian the slightest reaction time, the ball was played quite simply and beautifully!
It was just such an opportunity, but Ronaldo seized it, and Modric, who received an assist, felt incredible.

The pass he gave was actually not beautiful, it was just an ordinary over-the-top pass attempt, but Ronaldo's shot was really hard enough!
The defensive players of Real Betis really didn't make any mistakes. It can only be said that they had to admit that they were unlucky when they encountered a superstar shining.

Li Ang was replaced by Mourinho in the 608th minute of the second half. In fact, he didn't think it was necessary, but under the staring gaze of Mourinho, he could only choose to trot off obediently.

Alonso and Essien played one after another to warm up, and the scoring hero Ronaldo was also replaced.

In the last twenty minutes or so, Real Madrid played a bit conservatively, but under the system of three midfielders, even if Li Ang was off the field, Real Madrid still defended quite steadily.

The 1-0 score was maintained until the end of the game. After a small victory, Real Madrid raised the league wins to 12 games.

However, Barcelona, ​​who also played an away game the next day, also beat Levante 4-0, and continued to share the same score with Real Madrid at the top of the list.

At first glance, this picture shows the momentum of competing to the end, making countless fans call "abnormal!"

The other league leaders are basically four or five points away from No.2, and the record of the top team is not so outrageous.

Bayern has lost a game so far, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are still undefeated.

This leading momentum really makes other La Liga team fans feel desperate.

In the past ten years, only one non-"Western Super League" team in Valencia has won the league championship in the entire La Liga. For the rest of La Liga, it is Real Madrid.

But looking at the situation now, maybe Huang Sa will rule La Liga for the next ten years.

It can only be said that the fans of the other La Liga teams are indeed suffering.

The Copa del Rey restarted immediately after the No.13 round of La Liga.

On Real Madrid's side, Mourinho sent a half-main and half-rotational starting lineup to meet.

Li Ang and Ronaldo finally had a truce and began to rest.

As for Morata and Nacho, several rotation players have played enough games in recent times, and they continue to spin without rest.

But their stamina and energy are already sufficient.

For them, Mourinho let them start several consecutive games, but it is a way of reward they are looking forward to.

Of course, this kind of reward will only come to this round of the Copa del Rey.

After defeating Alcoiano 3-0 and breaking into the next round of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid's main players began to prepare for the league against Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid has been in the limelight recently, and they want to stand up and compete for the seat of Madrid's talker.

With eleven wins, one draw and one loss, Atletico Madrid, which had accumulated 34 points in the first thirteen rounds of the league, is now ranked third in La Liga, three points behind Real Madrid.

Looking at it this way, they do have the qualifications to challenge Real Madrid again.

And all the stars of Real Madrid also feel that they need to use another frontal defeat to make the Atletico Madrid team soberly aware of one thing.

That is, Atletico Madrid can score 34 points in the first 34 rounds, that is, they can only score [-] points, and the upper limit is here.

But Real Madrid scored 36 points on teams other than Barcelona, ​​because these teams can only allow Real Madrid to score 36 points.

Omg Madrid.

Can't turn it over!
