Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 78 I defend a lot, steal hard, and can only head violently, but I am a good number ten
Big Ibrahimovic's righteous words came very timely.

The Italian media, who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, immediately started to mock the Western media.

Several well-known journalists from the Italian media wrote articles straight to the point, and they almost mocked the Western media for not understanding the importance of defense.

And with regard to Li Ang's delayed organizational growth talent shown in Milan last season, he will sooner or later develop in the direction of Alonso.

Even if the final organization level is not top-notch, but combined with Li Ang's defensive talent, he will at least be a super-class midfielder in future football.

Is it an exaggeration to wear a number [-] in advance that Real Madrid doesn't pay much attention to?

Before the western media, who were ridiculed by the crowd, had time to unify and counterattack the Italian media, they split into two camps.

The pro-Real Madrid media first bombarded several sports newspapers and magazines that had previously published articles that provoked this war of words.

Immediately afterwards, other media who were still waiting to see the direction of the wind quickly stood in line.

The two sides quarreled fiercely, and in the end, Li Ang's reputation was further quarreled in the football world.

Mendes, who observed the development of the situation, turned his worries into joy, and decisively withdrew the follow-up public relations plan.

And Li Ang also called Real Madrid teammates and Ibrahimovic to thank him immediately.

However, in the process of thanking and communicating with Ibrahimovic, Li Ang was keenly aware of Ibrahimovic's slightly depressed mood.

Recently, he has been paying attention to Milan. Li Ang, who knows Milan's opening record in the new season, is also very interested and did not mention the game.

Moreover, there are a lot of messes in the Milan team, not just a simple problem with the record.

Knowing the abyss Milan will fall into in the future, Li Ang can only comfort Ibrahimovic a few more words.

Besides, there was nothing else he could do.

Give advice on Ibrahimovic's current situation and future career planning?
That's not the right thing for him to do right now.
After finishing the call with Ibrahimovic, Li Ang also put his mind back on La Liga and the upcoming Champions League group stage.

In the last round of the league, Barcelona was finally tied again at home in Valencia.

Now Barcelona, ​​which started with two consecutive draws, has fallen to the third place in the league standings.

Real Madrid's generals are four points away from Basara, and they are full of energy.

In the sixth round of La Liga, against Vallecano, whose strength is not much different from Racing Santander, Real Madrid is still going all out.

Mourinho will not confidently rotate the lineup frequently at this meeting, and it is enough to let the core players take a break occasionally.

Why don't you take advantage of the good schedule to get more points by abusing dishes, and save your energy to fight with strong teams later?

And Real Madrid, who attacked again with all their strength, did not give Vallecano too many opportunities to resist.

Seeing that the team took a two-goal lead in less than 10 minutes of the first half, Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu knew that they would usher in another hearty victory.

Ronaldo didn't score too many goals today, he simply opened the scoring account, but he gained a lot in assists.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who sent out a beautiful assist in the first and second half, played very easily and didn't consume much energy.

Benzema did not waste a rare opportunity today, scoring twice efficiently in the first half.

Higuain, who replaced him in the second half, finally scored the goal.

This scene made Movistar's La Liga commentator call Mourinho ushered in "happy troubles".

After all, the two center forwards in the Real Madrid team looked to be playing well.

How to arrange the playing time of the two has naturally become an important issue for Mourinho and the Real Madrid coaching staff at this stage.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Vallecano 6-1 at home, rewriting the league's opening record this season into a dazzling five-game winning streak.

As the only team in La Liga that still maintains a winning streak, Real Madrid topped the La Liga list with [-] points.

With three wins and two draws, Barcelona rose to second place with eleven points.

Comparing the top five rounds of the other major leagues, Manchester United and Real Madrid have the same five-game winning streak at the beginning.

But in the sixth round of the Premier League game that has already been completed, Manchester United was also tied by Stoke City.

In other words, in the current mainstream European leagues, only Real Madrid has the possibility of pursuing six consecutive victories or even more consecutive victories at the beginning of the league.

If you want to say that such data is not very meaningful, it makes sense to look at the timeline of the entire season.

However, at this stage, the morale of the Real Madrid team has been significantly boosted by this winning streak.

Compared with the indomitable Barcelona hardtop in recent years, the impact of this breath of morale is still very important.

After all, in many cases, the difference between being able to stand up and not being able to stand up is actually the breath.

And here in Mourinho, the players' fighting will and morale are more important than other coaches.

In the words of his team meeting after the preseason training camp, it is:
"We didn't lose to Barcelona by three points last season, but we lost to Barcelona's tenacity and hard work worth the last three points!"

It sounds absurd, but that's what Mourinho thinks, and the Real Madrid players eventually think so too.

So the Real Madrid players who are currently carrying this energy are actually proving to Mourinho and the outside world.

They are no worse than Barcelona.

And in the end, how many rounds can this winning streak be maintained, and how much league pressure can be exerted on Barcelona.

It depends on the determination of every Real Madrid player.

This is mental stress, a psychological burden, but it can also be a source of motivation.

Transformed into growth under pressure and pain, this is the only way for Real Madrid to overwhelm Barcelona again.

And now every Real Madrid player firmly believes that they can finally achieve their goals.

Because they represent Real Madrid, they are already on a challenging road full of thorns.
※※※

The Champions League group stage was rekindled on September 9.

In all the matches in this round of the group stage, there was barely one match that could be called a strong dialogue.

Bayern VS Premier League local tycoon Manchester City.

In the rest of the group matches, the European giants basically faced opponents who were much weaker than themselves.

In contrast, the strength gap between Real Madrid and Ajax is not particularly disparate.

The direction of public opinion is basically advocating that the major giants continue to win, thereby consolidating their leading positions in their respective groups.

In other words, in this round of the Champions League group stage, except for Bayern, it is not uncommon for the other giants to win.

Whoever loses will make the headlines!
Naturally, Real Madrid is not too worried. After all, they had the pleasant experience of double-killing Ajax in two rounds last season.

Li Ang was also there at the time, so in Real Madrid's main lineup, the players basically have an overwhelming psychological advantage.

And Ajax, who was once again a guest at the Bernabeu, was obviously a head shorter in momentum.

However, just before the game, the two teams finished their warm-up, and when the Ajax players were walking back to the player tunnel in a serious and cautious manner, Li Ang cheerfully approached the head coach of Ajax, De Boer.

Well, it was the De Boer who had won the long pass talent fragment before.

Li Ang went up to say hello cheekily. Although De Boer looked dazed, he had a friendly chat with Li Ang.

In Li Ang's compliments of "I am your fan" and "I have loved watching you play games since I was a child".

De Boer couldn't hold back his smile and finally took Li Ang's pen and paper.

After signing, he also left his phone number at Li Ang's request.

In the end, under the surprised eyes of the players of Ajax and Real Madrid, Li Ang happily ran back to the locker room with a pen and paper.

While De Boer felt happy and comfortable, he couldn't help but have a small question.

"Li Ang is really my fan? Then why didn't he ask me for an autograph last season?"

De Boer, who didn't know that he had been tricked, thought about it for a few seconds, and finally shook his head with a laugh, secretly thinking that he was worrying too much.

After all, Li Ang was so genuinely happy when he saw him sign and leave the phone.

It's not easy to act out that joy from the heart. Besides, if Li Ang lied to him, what was he trying to do?
Right?

"I got it! Later, send text messages to communicate and greet more, and then find an opportunity to say that my long pass has been imitating him since I was a child, and then."

Li Ang, who returned to the locker room with a happy face, kept thinking about how to further learn the long pass from De Boer.

There is the insight from De Boer himself "on the best timing of defensive players' long passes".

At that time, he pretended to reveal a few words inadvertently, saying that it was a learning summary obtained from studying De Boer's game video tape.
Hmph, he didn't believe that De Boer would not be tempted to take the bait!

Li Ang, who had a preliminary plan in mind, was looking forward to it, but after Mourinho entered the locker room, he quickly turned his attention back to the game.

At this moment, under the noisy background of the Bernabéu, commentators from various countries also faced the live broadcast camera and began to introduce the situation of the two teams to the audience in their countries.

Today on Wutai, Duan Xuan and Xu Yang partnered to explain the UEFA Champions League group match.

At this time, it was probably past 2:40 in the morning in Huaguo, but the spirits of the two were still quite good.

After reviewing the results of the group match between Ajax and Real Madrid last season, Duan Xuan saw that the players on both sides had begun to step into the field, and then went straight to the topic.

"Okay, the players from both sides have already entered the Bernabéu stadium together with the referee team, Xu Yang, let me introduce the starting players of the two teams today to the audience friends."

Xu Yang, who had rehearsed beforehand, quickly took over the words that Duan Xuan handed over, without taking the manuscript, and confidently spit out a string of player names.

"Okay Duan Xuan. Real Madrid, who are playing at home today, did not go to Kaka to play the deformed four-four-two as before, but formed a four-three-three formation that is more inclined to attack actively.

One of the starting goalkeepers is Iker Casillas.

The defensive line lined up from left to right are Coentrao, Ramos, Pepe and Arbeloa.

In the midfield, Alonso continued to play as a single midfielder, Di Maria as a left central midfielder, and Li Ang as a right central midfielder.

Of course, we all know that Li Ang's current position is very active. Under normal circumstances, he will provide defensive protection in front of Alonso, and he can also advance to support the offense.

When defense is needed, Li Ang can retreat to the midfielder position and form a double midfielder with Alonso. How to play depends on Mourinho's tactical arrangements at that time.

On the forward line, Ronaldo is on the left, Benzema is in the center, and Callejon is on the right.

As for Ajax, today De Boer came up with a set."

Amidst Xu Yang's monotonous and hypnotic introduction, the players on both sides also quickly walked through the opening ceremony.

The audience in Huaguo can only wake up first with the passionate Champions League theme song.

When the game officially started, all Huaguo fans cheered up, looking forward to Li Ang who ran to the side to catch the pass from Brother Long in the opening stage.

Ajax's opening press today was very aggressive. Not only did two strikers press Real Madrid's half, but as many as three midfielders joined the ranks of Real Madrid's press.

In the case of a [-] starting formation, Ajax does have affluent midfielders to do this kind of work.

On the other hand, Real Madrid was not in a hurry to make an offensive test first, and hooked the Ajax midfielders all the way into the hinterland of Real Madrid.

Li Ang decisively knocked back the ball passed to him by Brother Long and gave it back to Aveiroa, signaling him to hand the ball to Pepe further.

Afterwards, Li Ang looked at an Ajax midfielder running forward from his side with a trace of curiosity.

That was young Eriksson.

When he played against Ajax in the Champions League group stage last year, Li Ang had already played against the young Su Shen.

But this is the first time to play against Eriksson. After all, Eriksson was still a Champions League substitute last year.

Li Ang couldn't remember when Ai Shen became famous, but he remembered that Ai Shen was bought by Tottenham with the money from selling Bale.

In other words, Eriksson in the past two seasons will attract the attention of at least Tottenham's level.

Well, his strength is still far from his peak, but that doesn't stop Li Ang from being interested and wanting to "teach him a lesson".

"I'm here to let you feel the confrontation at the Premier League level in advance. Anyway, you have to go sooner or later. It's better to adapt early than late, isn't it, hehe."

Li Ang thought of this, and actively retreated to the backcourt to help Brother Long and his own defenders to transfer the ball.

After some skillful seduction, seeing Ajax's midfield wings were a little out of touch with the defense, Ramos, who was holding the ball, directly kicked a precise long pass!
Callejon, who received the ball, quickly advanced along the left side of Ajax non-stop after stopping the ball.

However, Ajax's left central defender Vertonghen also reacted quickly, and in the one-on-one, he snatched the ball from Callejon with a faster speed.

And Ajax's counterattack came just as quickly.

Although they don't like to take long passes like Real Madrid, but through quick short passes on the ground, Ajax also hit the ball to Real Madrid's half in twos and threes.

After Eriksson took the ball near the center line, he wanted to observe more about the running positions of his teammates on the two wings. Unexpectedly, a figure in white quickly approached his area.

"Oh! Li Ang stepped forward and pressed very decisively. Eriksson wanted to dribble the ball laterally to protect the ball first. Alas! This confrontation ability is too poor!
Li Ang's kick seemed to bring Eriksson down after poking away the football. What did the referee say? No problem, the game continues! "

Duan Xuan's commentary was very fast, Xu Yang couldn't keep up, and finally he could only dryly say "That's right!"

And Li Ang, who gave Eriksson a slap in the face, didn't give the other Ajax midfielders too much time to react.

He took two steps before leading the ball, and then directly sent a bold through ball rolling to the side!

In the end, it was almost close to the sideline, but the through ball that did not spin out of the sideline and the maddened Ronaldo inserted into Ajax's defensive third area.

Mourinho was smiling off the court, and Brother Long in the backcourt couldn't help giving Li Ang's forward thrust a thumbs up.

It has technical content, and the amount given in advance is also appropriate. More importantly, Li Ang now has the confidence to send such a pass!
Real Madrid fans at the Bernabéu burst into cheers.

Applause for Li Ang and Ronaldo's tacit passing and running cooperation.

At this moment, Ronaldo is also full of confidence and uses his speed to completely throw off Sidwell first, and turns to complete the inside cut the moment he touches the ball!

Alderweireld will have to give up Benzema who followed up in the middle to limit Ronaldo's shooting options.

But at the next moment of his departure, Ronaldo gently pushed the ball to the middle!
For other teammates, there is a 90% chance that Ronaldo will not choose to pass the ball at this time.

But for Kaka and Benzema, Ronaldo will pass!
Don't ask why, asking is "preference"

Even though I have been happy to receive Ronaldo's pass more than once, when he has a better chance, Ronaldo will still look for him as soon as possible.

And this time Guo Feng has obviously switched to the "Lyon Little Overlord" mode correctly.

A low shot from a close angle with an adjusted stoppage. This amazing shot made Ajax goalkeeper Vermeer lose his temper!
In just 7 minutes of the opening, Real Madrid took a 1-0 lead at home!
Such a perfect start made the entire Bernabéu a sea of ​​carnival!
However, Li Ang, who had sent a key pass before, stood in place, tilted his head and spread his hands very coolly, and then smiled and went to his teammates to celebrate together.

The Huaguo fans who stayed up late to watch the game watched Li Ang's celebration, and laughed heartily!

Previously, some Western media wrote about the situation of Li Ang wearing Real Madrid's No. [-], which was yin and yang.

Those news follow-ups were translated and posted on major domestic sports forums.

Many Hua Guo fans immediately jumped over the wall and joined the crusade against those Western media.

Although the Real Madrid stars behind stood in line, and Ibrahimovic's scolding made them feel quite relieved.

But Li Ang did not continue to speak, which still made many Huaguo fans feel a little regretful.

After seeing this scene, they realized that they were worrying too much.

It turned out that Li Ang was here waiting for an opportunity to make another "counterattack" of his own.

Look at that coquettish gesture of spreading hands helplessly. He obviously didn't say anything, but through the camera, he slapped those boring media in the face fiercely!
"Yes, I return to defense a lot, I steal hard, and I can only head violently."

"But I'm a good number ten~"
