Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 4 Belleron's short-pass talent fragments [Please collect, please vote! 】

Benzema spent a long time training with Li Ang some time ago, so he is not surprised that Ronaldo has such a statement at the moment.

Because he also has a similar evaluation of Li Ang.

Qualities that may appear mundane in the eyes of fans are commendable to them.

Because there are few young players who can accurately position themselves, young players who can hold their positions on the defensive end and are willing to do dirty work in a low-key manner are even rarer.

Star forwards like Ronaldo and Benzema are inherently talented and like to take possession of the ball.

So they would have preferred a midfielder who defended hard behind them, didn't stick to the ball, and could help them regain their offensive rhythm.

As for the shortcomings of Li Ang's poor offensive attributes?
They don't care at all.

To put it bluntly, in Real Madrid, there has never been a lack of offensive talent.

Look at the bloated midfield group in Real Madrid's current first team.

Granero, Canares, Leon, Van der Vaart, and someone dead.

This offensive talent is almost overflowing.

The only ones who can provide stable defensive protection at the midfielder position are Harvey Alonso and the former Las Diarra.

In fact, Gago can barely count as half, but he has been trained by the previous coaches to be completely different.

Originally the core of the team behind the organization, in order to play the opportunity abruptly changed to play the defensive midfielder.

But his physical fitness can't stand it, at least here in Mourinho, Gago does not have the responsibility to protect Alonso.

Not quite to the deprecated share, but not far off.

Harvey Alonso can actually do dirty work himself, but he also has to organize the backcourt.

If Brother Long is really going to take on these two heavy responsibilities all the time, then even his iron body won't be able to bear it.

It can only be said that Diarra's sudden injury completely disrupted Mourinho's training plan. Under such circumstances, he did not dare to let Li Ang go to Real Betis.

Even if Khedira is about to report to Real Madrid, it seems to be the most correct choice for Real Madrid's defensive midfielder position.

But in fact, Khedira is also a master who likes to go forward and participate in the offense, and he is famous for this in the Bundesliga.

Mourinho may have great expectations for the transformation of the German midfielder.

But in the current situation where defensive midfielders are scarce, and a defensive general in the team doesn't know if he can make a smooth comeback in two months.

He didn't trust Gago, so he could only trust Li Ang who had a better impression.

"I like this kid! You have to turn a corner when you talk, I am different, I like to partner with such a midfielder."

Marcelo touched his half-length fluffy hair, and then trotted towards Li Ang with brisk steps, seeing Ronaldo and Benzema look at each other.

"Would you like to say hello to that kid?"

"Together?"

"Together!"

The two made eye contact for a moment, and then they walked towards Li Ang together.

Benzema had gotten acquainted with Li Ang in almost two weeks of summer training before, and he mainly accompanied Ronaldo there.

Otherwise, Ronaldo alone would definitely not take the initiative to say hello to newcomers.

Old arrogant.

Mourinho watched this scene with his hands behind his back from the sidelines, feeling a little surprised.

It may be that Ronaldo has a stronger willingness to get close to his new teammates than he thought.

It may also be surprised that Li Ang has already obtained the qualification to be initially "recognized" after the second training session with the superstars.

But it's a good thing anyway.

He is very happy to see this scene appear.

In the next few days of training, Li Ang still showed a stable performance that satisfied Mourinho and a group of star teammates.

It's not that Li Ang's strength is enough to conquer Real Madrid's coaching staff and the team's proud sons.

But his stability has given Real Madrid at least one reassuring record in the choice of a substitute midfielder.

Under such circumstances, the training atmosphere in the Real Madrid team was quite peaceful, without much impetuousness.

In addition to his best friend Nacho, Li Ang is also gradually able to chat with the superstars in the team from time to time.

Before Harvey Alonso finished his rest and reported to the club, Mourinho experimented with multiple combinations in the midfield.

On August 8, in the friendly match with the Mexican American team, Mourinho changed his formation many times, from four three three to four two three one to four four two.

Basically, let several existing midfielders in the team play to complete the warm-up.

Among them, Granero's performance was the most outstanding, he was very active on the offensive end, and assisted Ronaldo to score the first goal in the first half.

In contrast, Li Ang's performance is not so eye-catching.

He played 27 minutes in the second half, made a key interception, succeeded in two aerial battles, and completed a side chase.

The pass success rate is 85%, without any threatening passes, it still looks "average".

As a result, many North American fans who came to watch the scene wondered whether Real Madrid signed such a young Eastern player for the East Asian market.

They don't care which East Asian country Li Ang is from, they don't care about Li Ang's youth training background, and they don't care why Mourinho chose to bring Li Ang to the United States to participate in the pre-season training at the last moment.

All they want to see is Real Madrid's star performances, Ronaldo, Benzema, and Marcelo.

So it is not surprising that such a joke came out.

In Mourinho's eyes, Li Ang's double midfielder partner with Gago in the last 10 minutes of the game made him shine.

Why didn't he value Gago before?

It is because Gago is not strong enough to play a defensive midfielder, he is prone to injury and has insufficient frontal interception, and his ability to protect the ball is not strong enough to play an organizational midfielder.

But with Li Ang's not-so-powerful but adequate support and protection of the ball, active and timely supplementary defense and excellent frontal air defense capabilities.

Hey, it just made up for Gago's deficiencies in organizing the offense!
And if it's Real Madrid's turn to defend, Li Ang's defensive positioning is excellent and he can stand in a key position, while Gago's sweeping area is large, and the two just form a complementarity.

Such an "accident" really brought Mourinho a lot of surprises!

On August 8, in a friendly match with the Los Angeles Galaxy, Mourinho unexpectedly played the double midfielder combination of Li Ang and Gago at the beginning of the second half.

As a result, Real Madrid, who had a 2-2 tie with the Los Angeles Galaxy in the first half, firmly controlled the situation in the second half without conceding a goal.

In the end, Ronaldo scored the winning goal, and Real Madrid also won two consecutive victories in the friendly match in the United States.

The 3-2 score was not good, and Real Madrid's offense in the second half could not be called sharp and beautiful because of constant substitutions and adjustments.

But Real Madrid's midfield defense has indeed stabilized visible to the naked eye.

Perhaps still not so obvious, but it is true.

After the friendly match against the Los Angeles Galaxy, the Real Madrid team ended a week-long training trip to the United States, and flew back to Madrid the next day.

At the Valdebebas training base, Li Ang finally saw the rest of the Real Madrid superstars returning to training.

Khedira has finished his body and officially joined the Real Madrid first team to start training with his teammates.

In the past few days, the bright colors in Gago's eyes seem to have dimmed again.

Li Ang didn't feel much lost.

After all, Khedira is the midfielder hand-picked by Mourinho. After the World Cup, this news has long been no secret in the transfer market.

Instead of worrying about how much playing time in Real Madrid's first team he will lose because of Khedira's joining.

Li Ang is more concerned about whether he can get a chance to play outside in the winter window.

And the golden talent fragment card that he was ready to draw!
The evening of July 8.

After the training was over, Ronaldo and Benzema received a blessing from Ronaldo and Benzema at their own request.

Li Ang hurried home, rubbing his hands and sitting on his sofa.

With a look of anticipation, he spent the 500 points that he had accumulated in six years from the "Road to King" system!

The mobile phone on the side is still playing the Chinese recording of Ronaldo and Benzema's crappy "European emperor possessed, non-chiefs will retreat!".

Li Ang only felt a golden light flash in front of his eyes, and he hadn't had time to yell "Golden legend!".

A middle-aged player card with a blue and white jersey, medium-length hair, and a slightly melancholy expression appeared in front of his eyes.

Li Ang was stunned, first pleasantly surprised, then entangled and disgusted, then pleasantly surprised and entangled again.

It took two or three minutes before he regained his composure, and at the same time forced himself to accept the reality.

“贝莱隆11-12赛季短传天赋碎片，天赋值：93（满值100，宿主当前短传能力值78）；附赠经验感悟：组织核心要领。”

Is this golden talent shard any good?
It's actually pretty good.

Although it is a talent fragment of Belleron in the twilight of his career, it is a skill that has not degenerated very seriously, and it is still his short pass technique that he is good at.

Li Ang's short pass ability is only 78 when his liver is full, and he can raise the upper limit to 93 at once, which is enough for him for a long time.

Moreover, Belleron's own organizational experience and insights are even more valuable.

When Li Ang received the golden complete talent card at the end of Makelele's career.

He has benefited a lot from the "defensive position selection" that comes with the system.

After studying until today, Li Ang feels that he is still a long way from fully understanding Makelele's "defensive position selection".

So this Belleron's "organizational core essentials" must be enough for him to ponder for a long time.

It's just that what he wants more now is the talent fragments that can make him go further on the defensive end.

After all, practicing a certain skill to the extreme is the most cost-effective training method for him.

But since all the draws have been exhausted, Li Ang can only temporarily change his extra training plan
On August 8th, Harvey Alonso looked at Li Ang who asked to practice with him after the training, and was very surprised.

"You want to learn how to organize a team with me?"
