Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 7 Ten years of reincarnation, the bankrupt version of Makelele [Please collect, please vote! 】

"Players from both sides have already stepped onto the field! Oh, look at who our live broadcast camera is aiming at? Li Ang! This young man played very well in Real Betis last season. Betis got the No.3 result, which is enough for Real Betis to go straight to La Liga. In this summer, Li Ang was recalled by his parent team Real Madrid to participate in the summer training camp, and he finally managed to stay in the first team of Real Madrid. Today Li Ang will play for Real Madrid in the first round of the new season as a starter, this is a remarkable achievement, I wish this 19-year-old boy good luck today!"

The commentator of the Spanish domestic Movistar sports channel is holding a manuscript prepared in advance and talking with eloquence.

Since Real Madrid announced the starting roster yesterday, Li Ang's information and past records have been dug out by major sports channels in the shortest possible time.

19 years old, from East Asia, or China, which is called a football desert in East Asia.

Real Madrid's youth academy, one of the most low-key of Castilla's new generation of post-90s outstanding players, and also one of the contributors to Real Betis' success in the top flight last season.

When these factors were combined, the traffic and hot topics contained in Li Ang instantly aroused the interest of major media.

It's not that Li Ang is too good, he is good enough to cause a big discussion among fans in Spain today.

But his resume is too "ordinary".

It is really incredible that a young player like him can represent Real Madrid in the first round of the league in the new season.

Many Barcelona fans are planning to watch Real Madrid stumble in their season debut at this moment.

Appointing a young boy to partner with Alonso, is he still playing the important and unusual midfielder position?
Well, these Barcelona fans have already thought up the words to mock Real Madrid in advance.

On the side of Real Madrid fans, there are also different voices splitting internally at this moment.

Compared with the fans who support Li Ang, Real Madrid fans who are not optimistic that Li Ang can represent Real Madrid in La Liga now account for the majority.

It is true that Li Ang is Real Madrid's own youth training, but his past low-key performance and too young age really cannot reassure most Real Madrid fans.

They would rather see the safer "Gago + Alonso" midfielder combination.

Or to be more extreme, let Alonso play as a single midfielder, and then put on a "Canales + Granero" double midfielder combination, and I don't want to see Li Ang and Alonso starting.

The result of the friendly match is nothing to delve into.

Moreover, Li Ang's performance in his first two friendly matches can only be described as "average".

To put it mildly, Li Ang's style is calm, not outstanding but not a major problem.

To put it bluntly, it is too "mediocre".

What Real Madrid need is talent, talent, the best young players and the best immediate superstars.

But Li Ang seems to be out of touch with these things now.

It's no wonder that although the high-sighted Real Madrid fans unanimously defend Li Ang externally, internally, most people don't want to see Li Ang start the game on behalf of Real Madrid.

At this moment, Li Ang, who was doing stretching exercises on the field and waiting for the official start of the game, had no idea that he had caused a big split among Real Madrid fans.

Does he care about these public opinions?

Care, but not so much.

It's true that Li Ang has traveled through time, but he is still a normal person. As a person, he will have normal mood swings, and he will look forward to being recognized by more people.

To be questioned and to be trusted and praised, of course normal people will choose the latter, and Li Ang is no exception.

But at the same time, he also deeply understands a truth.

That is, in the world of professional football, respect is earned by kicking with your own feet, not by blowing.

Li Ang did not expect to quickly reverse the public opinion problem he is currently encountering in one or two games.

But at least, he believes that he can use one or two games to prove to the Real Madrid fans first.

Mourinho chose to make him Li Ang's starting partner Alonso, so that TM also makes sense!

2010年8月29日晚21:00。

With the whistle of the referee on duty, the first round of the 2010-2011 La Liga season between Real Madrid and Real Mallorca officially started!
Today Mourinho formed a starting formation of [-].

It's just different from the four-three-three commonly used by other teams. Real Madrid's three midfielders have two midfielders, Leon and Harvey Alonso, and only Canales is a central midfielder.

On the forward line, Ronaldo, Higuain and Di Maria all started.

On the back line, Real Madrid is a bit miserable now.

The starting main central defender Pepe is injured, the third central defender Albiol is injured, and the fifth central defender Garay is also injured.

So Ramos, who is the fourth central defender in the team and is still playing right back, had to step up first.

On the right side of Ramos, only Abeloa is on top.

Carvalho and Ramos partnered with double central defenders, and on the left side of Carvalho was the offensively powerful Marcelo.

At the goalkeeper position is still St. Cassie, who is familiar to Real Madrid fans.

Looking at this lineup, Real Madrid's current lineup has some problems, but against Mallorca as an opponent, Real Madrid fans are not too worried.

Mourinho set the tactical tone of grabbing the ball and the rhythm of the game at the beginning.

Therefore, Real Madrid's pre-opening pressure seemed a bit "excessive".

Canales directly pressed the frontcourt offensive trio to the top of Mallorca's half-court arc. In order not to get out of touch with the organization, Alonso also had to pre-position to maintain the relationship with Canales. Smooth connection.

Li Ang, like Alonso, also premised his position in order to maintain the overall suppression of Mallorca.

But he doesn't actually get many touches because the offense doesn't let him go.

On the contrary, he spent more time observing the attacking methods of his opponent Mallorca, and his position selection was always kept behind Alonso's side.

After Alonso let go of his hands and feet and devoted himself to sorting out and organizing the offense, Real Madrid's offensive started quickly.

Long Ge's several long pass transfers with big slashes allowed Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria's speed and solo blasting advantages to be brought into full play.

Mallorca's defensive line on the wing was squeezed again and again, coupled with Canales' support in the middle and the ability to pass the threatening ball, Mallorca's midfield defense was once given by Real Madrid in the opening 15 minutes. Straight through.

At that time, Ronaldo went forward with Higuain after receiving a long pass from Alonso, and launched a quick counterattack in the hinterland of Mallorca.

As a result, Ronaldo passed the ball behind Mallorca's defense after attracting two double-teams, and Higuain's anti-offside advance was also very beautiful.

But it was at the last shot that Higuain thought too much.

He wanted to dribble and dunk Mallorca's goalkeeper, but his feet slipped inexplicably, and he waded the ball a little harder, and finally the ball went out of the baseline outrageously.

Mourinho, who was ready to celebrate on the sidelines, almost knelt down on the spot.

Ronaldo and Di Maria on the other side were also dumbfounded.

It's not big brother, this cake has been fed up to the throat, you can still spit it out!
It is a pity to miss such an opportunity, and it has somewhat affected the mentality of the Real Madrid players.

And Mallorca, who was struggling to defend and counterattack, seized the opportunity and also played a quick counterattack in the No. 201 minute steal of the first half!
Alonso, who had just completed the series of attacks, immediately turned around and chased.

However, Canales and Di Maria pressed too hard forward, and it would be too late to return to the defense. Real Madrid's defensive strength on the right and in the center is seriously insufficient.

Seeing that Mallorca was about to launch a very threatening counterattack, many Real Madrid fans subconsciously exclaimed in front of the TV.

But in the next second, an unremarkable figure wearing the No. 23 jersey happened to be stuck on the route of Mallorca striker Enrich holding the ball!

A tough frontal confrontation, a close-to-body shot in an instant, destroyed the possession of the ball, and the two offensive and defensive players almost fell to the ground together!

Alonso, who chased back in time, chose to clear the ball directly out of the sideline, and Li Ang, wearing the No. 23 jersey, got up from the turf like a normal person.

"Nice job! You boy. Nice job!"

Alonso changed his usual personable appearance, roared excitedly amidst the boos of the home fans, and slapped Li Ang hard on the shoulder and back.

On the other hand, Li Ang, baring his teeth, quickly hugged Alonso's raised slap.

His teacher's hands are too strong, he can't stand it again, so let's hug him!

Mourinho and Karanka breathed a sigh of relief standing on the sidelines, and then applauded Li Ang with great satisfaction.

Di Maria, who ran back to defend the opponent's sideline ball, also patted Li Ang's butt gratefully.

If the ball just let Enrich pass directly, the lack of Real Madrid's defensive strength in the backcourt would magnify his forward error countless times.

While feeling scared, Di Maria also felt a burst of gratitude.

"Fortunately, fortunately, the little lion stopped him"

Mallorca's sideline kick was overtaken by Aveiroa. Di Maria caught the ball with his back and crossed it. Alonso followed up and pushed the ball to the left.

Marcelo, who was plugged in, observed the surrounding situation and began to dribble forward. Real Madrid's new round of offense came, and Mallorca quickly retreated.

Li Ang still didn't follow up and advance. He stood behind Alonso and saw that his attack was initiated from the left this time, so he subconsciously leaned towards the left half.

Mallorca's midfielder Marty did not give Marcelo a chance to advance deeply.

When the full-back Ensue and Marcelo were racing and entangled, Marty suddenly blocked the passing line between Marcelo and Ronaldo and completed the interception again.

Marty did not procrastinate the counterattack rhythm after getting the ball, and also sent a long pass directly to striker Castro, who had successfully completed the forward speed of his side.

The hearts of Real Madrid fans were raised again.

Castro stopped and took a trip, and strode straight to the hinterland of Real Madrid.

This time Alonso had prepared in advance and was about to speed up to intercept from the flank, but Li Ang, who was behind him before, reacted one step faster.

"I come!"

A loud shout sounded behind Alonso, and Long Ge didn't even have time to turn his head to look back, and saw a decisive figure appearing in his eyes!

After a short thought, Castro resolutely gave up the choice of taking the risk of injury with Li Ang.

After waving the ball, his control of the ball was not stable, so he had no choice but to jump up first, watching Li Ang shovel the football back to the midfield area in embarrassment and resentment!
"Another counterattack opportunity for Mallorca! Castro is about to speed up! Oh——!!! Li Ang!!! God! In less than 2 minutes, Li Ang contributed two crucial goals Defensive interception! Alonso didn't even run five meters this time, Mallorca's counterattack was over! Incredible defensive performance! The little lion from Castilla seems to be announcing to everyone that the reason why he was once Real Madrid's U19 coach is called 'Little Marc Claire' and there's a reason for that!"

Movistar's commentator enthusiastically praised Li Ang's wonderful performance on the defensive end in these 2 minutes.

And the phrase "Little Mark Claire" also reminded countless Real Madrid fans of the special defensive gate in Real Madrid ten years ago!
There is no gorgeous technology, no tall figure, and no handsome appearance.

But relying on precise interceptions and predicted interceptions one after another, Makelele firmly occupied the position of the main midfielder in the luxurious lineup of the Galaxy Warship generation!
To this day, Real Madrid has not found a midfielder like Makelele.

And the one who joined Real Madrid in just three years brought Real Madrid the defensive gate of the league and the Champions League championship.

After experiencing the precipitation test of time and years, it has been shining in the hearts of countless Real Madrid fans!

Now ten years have passed, and a similar figure with a little familiarity has appeared before the eyes of Real Madrid fans.

Are Leon and Makelele similar?
It doesn't look like it at first glance.

Because Li Ang is 1.8 meters three, tall and strong, with a sunny and handsome appearance.

And Makelele is a typical "strength faction", with a short stature and a slightly mature appearance.

Just looking at the appearance, it is really difficult for people to associate Li Ang with the former Makelele.

But a closer look reveals that the two have too many similar technical features.

Excellent defensive position selection, accurate prediction and interception, not easy to dribble in, and at the same time, the pass is almost exactly the same "unpretentious"!
Of course, Li Ang's defensive experience is far less rich than Makelele's when he transferred to Real Madrid.

But in comparison, Li Ang's defensive attack seems to be more decisive, and his ability to face confrontation is also stronger.

In general, the current Li Ang can be regarded as a "bankrupt Makelele" at best in terms of strength.

However, his development prospects seem to have more possibilities than Makelele.

After all, physical fitness is here. If he grows up smoothly in the future, let alone 80% of Makelele's defensive positioning and interception ability, coupled with first-class confrontation and air defense capabilities, what kind of a man will he be? Defense against monsters? !

Although this is still a hypothesis, it does not prevent Real Madrid fans from starting to increase their support for Li Ang.

And Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, had his eyes even brighter, staring at Li Ang and muttering constantly.

"This kid is a competitive player! What is mediocre? This is a big baby!"
