Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 81 Defensive twin stars from Castilla to Bernabéu [Please subscribe, please vote! 】

Li Ang was very glad that he chose to come to La Coruña to find the answer, and even more fortunate that he and Belleron could spend two days quietly in this seaport city.

Perhaps, some questions still remained in his mind.

He will also slowly get his own insights in the honing of his career in a state of vague understanding.

However, his heart, which was a little restless due to doubts during this time, has indeed calmed down.

As Belleron put it, he was ready to start all over again after failing.

I will never give up football.

Then he was on his own path.

And Belleron also used his peace and calmness to give Li Ang a new understanding of professional football.

Outside the stadium, he can carry out his own business activities, package his image, and cooperate with clubs and agents to operate awards.

But the moment he stepped on the field, he had to return to football itself.

This is not only his original intention to embark on this career path, but also the foundation of his future career development.

"Enjoy football, as you did when you first came into contact with it, with your courage not afraid of any failure, you are already your own winner, little lion."

Belleron's parting words filled Li Ang's heart with a heavy sense of steadfastness.

Apart from a strong hug, he has no better way to express his gratitude and respect to the midfielder.

"I sincerely wish you and Deportivo a successful return to La Liga after this season, and look forward to meeting you next time."

"Thank you, Li Ang, and I wish you and Real Madrid good luck, come on."

"Good-bye, Monsieur Belleron."

"Goodbye, Leon."

Li Ang, who was physically and mentally lightened, left La Coruña with far more gains than he imagined.

And after a two-day simple commercial shooting in Madrid, he didn't rest anymore, and directly started the two-point and one-line life between the residence and the training base.

Of course, before that, he still called Mourinho first.

And the person who greeted and supervised his extra training in Valdebebas this time was not Karanka, nor was it Mr. Rui Faria, the physical coach who accompanied him the most before.

It was a person who made him unexpected and pleasantly surprised.

"Mr. Pintus!"

After seeing the people on the training ground clearly, Li Ang greeted them in surprise, and then greeted Pintus with a happy face and gave him a hug first.

There is no need to ask Pintus why he appeared at the Baldbebas base, Li Ang already guessed the answer in his heart.

"I still can't refuse the invitations of Jose and Qidan. It just so happens that I also ended my previous contract with Marseille. I didn't expect to meet you again so soon, Li Ang."

Pintus also looked happy.

Although he has only temporarily joined Real Madrid's coaching team as a consultant, the salary that Real Madrid offered him is completely generous.

Coupled with the presence of Li Ang, a training object he was very satisfied with before, Pintus still feels very good about joining Real Madrid.

In the morning, the two who had cooperated happily before started the one-on-one training mode vigorously.

It's just that Pintus didn't engage in extreme devil training this time.

The training mode and purpose during the offseason and during the season are still very different.

Li Ang just finished the restorative training in a regular manner in the morning.

In the afternoon, I started to focus on surprise practice and consolidation of long and short passing skills.

Naturally, Pintus took over the post-training recovery physiotherapy.

Other Real Madrid players are either on vacation or participating in national team competitions.

Pintus happened to use Li Ang to practice, and was familiar with the various training facilities in the Baldbebas base in advance.

On October 10th, some players who did not have the task of the national team arrived at the training base on time before 9:[-] am.

Altentop.Granero, Callejon, Las Diarra and other first-team players are all listed.

Nacho, Morata, Jesse and several second-team players were once again promoted to the first-team by Mourinho, allowing them to train with the first-team players.

Li Ang was naturally very happy about this.

Even if he talks to Nacho almost every other day, he will meet with Nacho at least two or three times a week after returning to Madrid.

But to meet Nacho again in the training ground of the Real Madrid first team, it was a different feeling.

Nacho was even more excited.

The meaning of being promoted to the first team this time is completely different from his participation in Real Madrid's first team pre-season training last year.

Being promoted to the first team in the middle of the season can only show that Mourinho is satisfied with his performance in Castilla and intends to give him more playing time and opportunities.

This is great news for Nacho, who only played twice for Real Madrid at the end of the season last season.

Morata and Jesse were simply slipped into the first team by Mourinho to feel the training atmosphere more.

These two boys are not old enough, and now there are enough strikers in the first team of Real Madrid, and the rotation is enough.

Unless Ronaldo, Benzema and Higuain are injured at the same time.

Otherwise, Morata and Jesse are still unlikely to have the chance to represent Real Madrid's first team this season.

On October 10th, Real Madrid's first team players who participated in the national team competition went to the training base to report for medical examinations.

And Morata and Jesse returned to Castilla as Leon had expected.

Nacho really stayed.

"Sergio is going to play as a central defender. The right flank is now mainly relying on Abeloa. You will not have less playing time. Seize the opportunity."

After the training that day, Li Ang directly revealed a key message to Nacho.

As Ramos and Pepe got better and better at the central defender, the cooperation became more and more tacit.

Mourinho has fixed Ramos in the central defender position earlier than Li Ang expected.

Carvalho and the young Varane complement each other very well, forming a very good rotation combination.

So now Real Madrid's defenders on the right are not enough.

Arbeloa, who was still playing as a substitute at the beginning of this season, directly became the main force on the right back.

Currently unable to sign in, the Real Madrid coaching staff can only tap the potential internally and prepare a substitute for him.

Compared with Carvajal, who is doing well in Castilla now.

Nacho, who is older, more confrontational, and has the attributes of a multi-faceted backcourt, obviously won more favor from Uncle Psy.

Li Ang didn't ask Mourinho to say anything about this matter.

After all, although Nacho is his best friend, they both have a good relationship with Carvajal.

They have known each other since they were young.

Li Ang and Carvajal were teammates in Team C, and Carvajal and Nacho were also teammates in Castilla.

So with such a relationship, it's really hard for Li Ang to say who to recommend in Mourinho's selection.

The current result is the best, Li Ang can be happy for Nacho without the slightest psychological burden, and the same is true for Nacho.

After the training, Li Ang did not practice any more, but drove back to Castel de Henares near Madrid with Nacho.

That is the city where Nacho's family lives now.

Nacho's parents, who learned in advance the good news that Nacho had successfully stayed in the first team, prepared dinner early and waited at home.

Li Ang's coming to Nacho's house was no different from going back to his own home. After warmly hugging Nacho's parents, Li Ang smiled and watched Nacho get the encouragement and comfort of the whole family amidst the excitement.

Li Ang was in a good mood that night and his appetite was whetted.

He ate well and slept soundly.

The next morning, while saying goodbye to Nacho's parents, Li Ang and Nacho set off to the training base together.

Similar scenarios have played out many times over the past seven years.

But Li Ang, who was going to stay overnight at Nacho's house, sat in the back row with Nacho the next day.

Nacho's father would drive them to La Fabrica early in the morning.

Looking at the familiar street scene receding outside the window at this moment, Li Ang instantly recalled all the hard work and interesting things in the youth training camp back then.

Until Nacho's cry brought him back to reality.

"Don't be in a daze, little lion, help me think about how to play today, so that Mr. Mourinho has a better impression of me."

Li Ang turned his head to look at Nacho, who was excited and nervous, and suddenly grinned, lying comfortably on the co-pilot with his hands behind his head.

"Just show your usual normal performance. Do you think the boss hasn't watched your games and training videos in Castilla? Besides, you already had a record of appearances in the first team last season. You don't have to do that." Are you worried?"

"God! You have already gained a firm foothold in the first team. Last season, I was purely playing soy sauce. Of course you can say that. You bastard, stop being a riddle, and give me a trick!"

"Really, relax, don't be too rigid with the boss, just be natural, besides, why are you nervous, maybe you will win much more Champions Leagues than the boss in the future."

"Ah? Are you in a dream? The boss now has two Champions Leagues, two! In reality, I have only seen what the Champions League looks like in the club's room of honor."

"Really, you won at least five Champions Leagues! Do you believe it?"

"Huh? Okay, I'll win five Champions Leagues, okay, if you really dare to think about it, how many do you get?"

"Of course I have more than you, just one more, I just need to win six Champions Leagues~"

"No, are you serious? I'm going dizzy, so don't tease me."

"Hahaha"

The two chatted happily all the way to the training base.

Li Ang quickly greeted Nacho, who was still a little cautious, with one after another first-team star bosses.

Because Nacho also appeared in the first team last season, the introduction ceremony was omitted. Mourinho also routinely encouraged Nacho before the morning training session.

In the heavy training in the morning, Nacho finally gradually faded away the tension and apprehension smoothly.

Well, if Li Ang can stop winking at him often, and keep breaking his ball in training sessions, then Nacho will feel better!

After a few days of training, Nacho's integration progress is not bad, and Real Madrid also ushered in a new round of La Liga after the international break.

In terms of physical recovery, the timing of this round of the league is very unfriendly to players who have just finished playing the national team.

And counting from October 10, when this round of the league started, to October 15, Real Madrid will play two rounds of La Liga and one round of the Champions League group stage within eight days.

Rui Faria and Pintus got busy in no time.

They have to observe the physical condition of each Real Madrid player as specifically and as accurately as possible, and finally combine the suggestions given by the team doctor, and then provide Mourinho with a suitable rotation plan.

Eight days and three games, one of which is the Champions League game.

If there is no rotation, then after this intensive schedule passes, at least one-third of the players in Real Madrid's first team may be at serious risk of injury.

Fortunately, Uncle Psy is not the kind of head-to-head coach who insists on a lineup.

In the game against Real Betis on the afternoon of October 10th, he directly formed a 15 starting lineup with a lot of rotation.

Li Ang, the iron man, is of course still the starter, but today he is not partnered with Alonso and Di Maria.

Las Diarra and Granero became his starting partners in midfield today.

Kaka returned to Brazil this time and only played one round of the world preliminaries. He sat on the bench for the second round and did not play. Therefore, his physical condition is not bad, so he will continue to start.

The double forwards in the frontcourt became Cristiano Roga Callejon.

Both Benzema and Higuain were on the bench.

On the defensive line, Varane and Pepe partnered to start, Ramos came off the bench, and Coentrao and Abeloa continued to serve as the left and right starting fullbacks.

The goalkeeper is Casillas.

When La Liga commentators from various countries saw Real Madrid's starters today, they all said that Mourinho is preparing for the next third round of the Champions League group stage.

However, to deal with Real Betis, even if Real Madrid uses a rotation lineup, it can be regarded as "killing chickens with a sledgehammer".

This round of the league is still no challenge for Real Madrid.

And Li Ang was even more relentless when facing his former teammates.

As soon as they exchanged greetings and hugs before the game, he directly punched them hard during the game!

After teaming up with Las Diarra to block Real Betis' counterattack from the middle, Li Ang also continued to pass the ball behind Kaka.

Today he didn't play much, but it is also because of the strong support from his side that Kaka showed a very good offensive performance without defensive concerns.

Before the end of the first half, Kaka directly sent two assists to help Real Madrid take the lead 2-0.

Ronaldo and Callejon also scored a goal each, and the chances they got were extremely even.

In the 6 minutes of the second half, Mourinho watched the game without too many twists and turns, so he happily replaced Arbeloa with Nacho.

At this moment, there was warm applause at the Bernabéu.

At this moment, Castiari's defensive twin stars were reunited at the Bernabeu.

Many Real Madrid fans have watched the games between the two in each echelon of the youth training.

From La Fabrica to Real Madrid C team, and then to Castilla behind.

One is the best defensive defender in the youth academy, and the other is the best defensive midfielder in the youth academy.

After growing up together for almost six years, the two have a tacit understanding and the defensive effect is beyond doubt.

Li Ang looked at Nacho who was running to the field, and Nacho also looked at him now. The two met each other and smiled, and when they passed by each other, they stretched out their palms tacitly and slapped.

And the story of Castilla's defensive twin stars also officially started in La Liga
