Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 93 Real Madrid's AB team is released ahead of schedule, the core midfielder of the B team, Li Ang! [Please subscribe! 】

Real Madrid's celebration this time was not as passionate as it was when they took a 2-0 lead.

Perhaps it was because Messi's assist to Villa's goal made the Real Madrid team too vigilant and calm.

Or maybe at 2-0, the Real Madrid players had already overdrawn their happiness and passion in advance.

When the 3-1 victory was established, the fans and players on the Real Madrid side felt more relaxed and at ease.

And with this steadiness, they shouted "defense" together at this moment, tired and energetic.

Yes, Real Madrid fans took the initiative to ask the team to defend at the Bernabéu home court.

If they hadn't witnessed this scene at the Bernabéu, the reporters of the Western media would never have dared that such a scene would happen to Real Madrid fans.

But it's actually easy to understand.

I'm afraid of losing.

In the past few years, Real Madrid is really afraid of losing against Barcelona, ​​which has a complete upper body.

Especially last year's loss to Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League, the cruel humiliation that all Real Madrid fans will never forget!
So at this moment, at the last moment when Real Madrid is about to win the national derby.

Real Madrid fans issued the most realistic cry, they don't want any suspense, they want to win Barcelona steadily!

Mourinho felt genuine relief in this moment.

Regardless of whether the home fans at the Bernabéu will still boo the fuck just because the team is not attacking well.

At least at this moment, this group of fans stood completely behind Mourinho and the players on the Real Madrid field.

As a result, fouls occurred frequently and the fighting became more intense. The offensive and defensive battles were staged in the remaining 10 minutes.

Both parties have no reservations, and both have the responsibility and significance of doing their best.

Both Arbeloa and Di Maria suffered from leg cramps and were finally replaced when they couldn't hold on.

The Barcelona players were very dissatisfied, thinking that the two were delaying time one after another, and appealed to the referee that the stoppage time should be extended.

Ramos was annoyed, and he went up with his hands behind his back to argue, but the players on both sides immediately surrounded the referee with your words.

Guardiola is sitting on the coaching bench and everyone is paralyzed.

He can understand the unhappiness and depression in the hearts of his players.

But for their current behavior of wasting time on their own initiative, Guardiola just wants to say "stupid".

After watching the final farce, the fans on both sides didn't have to wait long, and they ushered in the final whistle with very different moods!
Once again, Li Ang almost exhausted his physical strength and energy on the field.

So that when the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game, he subconsciously squatted on the turf.

Relaxed, feeling the sore muscles that were no longer under control after exhaustion, he subconsciously growled twice, then laid his head back and lay down comfortably with the word "big".

How many kilometers did he run in this race?

Fourteen or fifteen?

Li Ang couldn't figure it out, and finally didn't bother to figure it out.

Like usual games, it's okay for him to run like this once in a while, and he won't be so tired.

But in today's game, he followed Messi to do too many repeated sprints, during which he had to wipe Ma Pengpeng's butt and make up for other teammates.

Staring at Messi and having to do other defensive work, wouldn't that be tiring?

Li Ang only felt that what little physical energy he had left was taken away at the end of the game.

In the hustle and bustle of the on-site environment, he originally thought of not caring about anything, so he waited for two or three minutes before talking.

But a hand on his shoulder forced him to end the break early.

Well, there was also that unexpected voice full of complex emotions.

"Are you okay, do you want your team doctor to come over first?"

Li Ang opened his eyes, and saw Messi sitting next to him with legs crossed and no image.

The other party's mid-length hair was almost drenched, and the tiredness in his eyes could not be concealed, and he seemed to be full of more depression and helplessness.

"Ah? I'm okay, I'm okay. You haven't left yet, Leo, are you going to exchange jerseys with me?"

Li Ang didn't bother to get up and talk to Messi anymore, so he just made a joke with a grin.

But what made him even more unexpected was that Messi pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement!

However, Li Ang was not hypocritical, he tried his best to half sit up, and finally took off his jersey.

Messi's jersey for the 11-12 season, why doesn't he change it when he has a chance?
He had already ordered one of Ronaldo's jerseys in previous games this season, and now he has got Messi's jerseys. When he returned, he framed these two jerseys and hung them on the wall of his bedroom.

This is the off-field version of Melo's peak season jersey. If you have nothing to do in the future, take a photo and post it on the sports forum. It will definitely be envied by others!

Seeing Li Ang sizing up his jersey with satisfaction, Messi felt inexplicably more comfortable.

"You guys played well this time, but our preparations were indeed insufficient. We will meet again next time."

"The next time we meet again, you will definitely find your way back at Camp Nou, right? I understand, I understand, when the time comes, you should be gentle. I have already lost two games to you. I really can't stand it anymore!"

"But you won, my team didn't win, so what's the use of me winning?"

"At least the media will say that you can leave the Bernabéu with your head held high. You see, in public opinion you are at least safe."

Messi laughed and shook his head when he heard Li Ang start talking nonsense again, and finally slapped Li Ang on the back.

"gone!"

"See you next time at Camp Nou."

Messi hung Li Ang's jersey on his shoulders, stopped responding to Li Ang, and walked into the player channel without looking back.

Li Ang also lay back on the turf again.

He closed his eyes comfortably.

※※※

The western media is satisfied, this round of national derby is good enough, and the game process is also exciting enough.

The atmosphere of Real Madrid's revenge before the game was directly filled by their propaganda.

As a result, Real Madrid did not lose the chain, and finally defeated Barcelona very powerfully. This is simply an excellent report material!

And just when the outside public opinion was vigorously promoting Real Madrid's "Return of the King".

Real Madrid's coaching staff is having a headache for the report handed in by the team doctor.

Mourinho had anticipated this situation a long time ago, so this meeting is relatively calm.

"Angel (Di Maria) and Álvaro (Aveiroa) have to rest for at least two to three days before recovering training and physical therapy. According to preliminary estimates, they will be in the next Copa del Rey game and the next one. Unable to play in a round of the league.

Sami (Khedira) has some discomfort in his thigh muscles, but it's not a big problem. However, the team doctor suggested that he should try not to play in the last week and get physical therapy first.

Also, Xavi (Alonso) and Pepe are not in particularly good shape"

Hearing that Karanka probably finished talking about the medical report given by the team doctor, Mourinho had a bottom line in his mind.

Today is the second day after the big victory over Barcelona. Most of the Real Madrid first-team players who have finished their one-and-a-half-day holiday will resume their daily training this afternoon.

It's not that Mourinho doesn't want to give them more rest time.

The main reason is that the Copa del Rey game is coming, and tomorrow they have to go to the away game to play the fourth round of the Copa del Rey with the Ponferradina Club in West Division B.

The opponent is not strong, but it is impossible for Mourinho to transfer Castilla's youth players to play directly in this round of the Copa del Rey.

After all, Ponferadina and the current Castilla are also at the same league level.

At that time, it will be fine to say that if they lose, the storm of public opinion will be enough to annoy Mourinho for a while.

"Let's use the plan we planned before and select the most suitable rotation substitute players. We will knead them into a new team with a more tacit understanding."

Mourinho made up his mind that when the third-line battle officially began, he needed a rotation team to fight for the King's Cup and some insignificant league games.

In this way, Real Madrid's main players can get more adequate rest time.

And at two o'clock in the afternoon, after the Real Madrid first-team players who were able to go to the training ground today were all assembled, Mourinho and Karanka also officially started their plan.

Adan is more than enough to start the goalkeeper in the second team.

Varane, Nacho, Albiol who returned from injury and Carvajal formed the new defense.

Among them, Carvajal went to the left to play a guest role as a left back.

The main reason is that Coentrao was injured some time ago, and the main left back is counting on Marcelo to support him. Mourinho can only try to transform Carvajal first.

In midfield, Leon, Las Diarra, Granero and Kaka formed a new four-man combination.

In the diamond-shaped midfield position, Li Ang drags behind, Granero and Las Diarra line up on both sides, and Kaka serves as the attacking midfielder.

The double striker is naturally Morata and Callejon.

Among them, Morata can pull the side to hold the ball, and Callejon can play left and right. The two can frequently switch positions during the game and involve the opponent's defense.

Of course, this is only a preliminary lineup, because Khedira's physical condition is not "stable", so Kaka may return to the main starting lineup at any time.

At that time, this rotation lineup may change from [-] to [-], and Vazquez will replace Kaka.

And in the training that afternoon, the eleven Real Madrid rotation players who formed the new team also started a quick run-in.

Well, Leon is an exception.

He is the main player, and he also consumed a lot of physical energy in the battle with Barcelona.

But who made him use the physical recovery potion after the game against Barcelona?
The whole Real Madrid team was in the best condition during his physical examination. It would be strange if Mourinho didn't let him continue to be a livestock envoy.

With Kaka's transformation and Granero adapting to the new position, Li Ang, who was lagging behind, naturally became the core of the rotation.

The old problems of Las Diarra and Brother Face seem to be incurable, so Mourinho simply let him temporarily play a tactical role with the ball in the rotation.

As long as the work is done on the defensive end first, and the offensive end delays a little bit, just delay a little bit.

Anyway, when Ras Diarra started, Real Madrid's opponents would not be very strong.

Moreover, isn't it just about time for the winter window to open, let Rasdiala generate good data, and it will be convenient to sell at a high price, cough.
Las Diarra, who didn't know it, was still delighted that Uncle Psy "valued" him.

But Li Ang, who had already known some signs, could only send his farewell wishes to his teammate in his heart in advance.

On the evening of December 12th, Real Madrid, which started a new lineup with the exception of Li Ang, whose starting players were all rotating substitutes, made their official debut at Ponferradina's home court.

This home stadium is the smallest professional stadium that Li Ang has ever seen, and it can only seat more than 8000 people.

However, the fans of Ponferradina are quite enthusiastic. When the players of Ponferradina and Real Madrid played together, they only gave cheers and almost no boos.

But it is also understandable.

Ponferradina can break into the fourth round of the Copa del Rey, and they can meet Real Madrid in two games, which is already very lucky for their fans.

Real Madrid's newly formed rotation team has no major problems in coordination. Even if there is a small mistake sometimes, the overall offensive and defensive operations are still very smooth.

Li Ang's handling of the ball in the backcourt is also getting better and better. He can't talk about retracting and releasing freely, but he has played all the performances that should be played.

At least in the face of the 2-0 Ponferadina result at halftime, Li Ang's organization and scheduling can be said to be no problem, and Mourinho is also relieved.

In the second half, Vazquez came off the bench and replaced Kaka, who scored a goal in the first half.

Real Madrid also changed to a four-three-three formation, with Vazquez, Morata, and Callejon forming an offensive trident.

With the Real Madrid midfielder occupying an absolute advantage, Vazquez finally succeeded in the No. 703 minute of the second half. The inverted triangle helped Morata score the goal that established the victory.

3-0
Real Madrid finally ended the first leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey with a solid victory.

But in terms of public opinion, the result of this game was not discussed by many non-Real Madrid fans.

Li Ang's stable performance in the delay organization did not surprise the media.

After all, Li Ang had already singled out the leader once in the league before, and he played quite well at that time.

After all, this time they are playing against the West Division B team. In the eyes of the outside world, Real Madrid deserves to win, and some people even think that Real Madrid has scored too few goals.

Only a small number of media people have captured some key information through Mourinho's formation in this game.

They hesitated at first, unable to confirm their conjectures, fearing that Mourinho just happened to come up with such a formation with basically no main players starting.

But on the night of December 12, when Real Madrid once again released this new starting lineup to face Granada, these media people instantly confirmed their previous conjectures.

"Mourinho is going to split Real Madrid's first team into 'Team AB' to fight on the third line! Team A will fight tough battles and the Champions League, while team B will fight against the less powerful opponents in the Copa del Rey and the league!"

"Li Ang is a real iron man! After playing the game of the main team, he has to be the core midfielder in the rotation team. This physical fitness is too good!"

"Real Madrid's coaching staff has a really good idea, that is, there are too many young players in their 'B team', are they really qualified for such a heavy tactical task?"

"Let's see, Granada is now a relegation team, let's see if this Real Madrid will stumble on Granada!"

Before the start of the game, the Western media and countless La Liga fans who learned about the list of Real Madrid's starting players immediately became interested in discussing it.

Many fans who are at odds with Real Madrid also plan to have fun.

It would be ridiculous for Real Madrid to use rotation today and lose to Granada, ruining their winning streak.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Spanish time, Real Madrid's away game against Granada started on time.

Intense cheers broke out in the Camenes Stadium, and the players in Granada were also very excited to launch an offensive against Real Madrid's new midfield combination.

If today was playing Real Madrid's main starter, Granada would never dare to rush to start the rhythm so aggressively.

But Granada still has the courage to actively suppress Real Madrid's almost pure rotation lineup, and it is still very big!
After all, in the eyes of the outside world, this lineup of Real Madrid's almost pure rotation players, let alone whether there is any problem with running-in, there are too many young players in the front and back courts of the team.

Granada is still in the stage of scrambling for points and relegation. If you catch the opportunity, you must jump up and take a bite.

If they get a three-pointer in surprise, if it doesn't work out, then they should defend honestly and try to defend a point.

But when they took the high ball and wanted to quickly pass the Real Madrid midfielder and directly find a group of young people in the Real Madrid defense, Albiol made a move.

He spent almost the first half of this season recuperating and taking physical therapy, and he has now gotten rid of the troubles of injuries.

In terms of strength, he was still the absolute main force of Real Madrid in the past few seasons, and he can only compete with Pepe and Ramos at present.

Where can these forwards in Granada touch porcelain?
With an unsuspecting success, Albiol pushed the ball back to the midfield.

Granero headed back, Li Ang held the ball, and then dribbled the ball horizontally to get rid of Granada striker Ighalo's press, and then split the side to let Callejon counterattack and advance.

Real Madrid's opening game was very good to resolve Granada's strategy of grabbing the start. Not only did it not give Granada any chance, but they also took advantage of the situation and played their most familiar quick counterattack.

Without Alonso's long pass, Real Madrid's counterattack lacked a lot of sharpness than usual.

But for Granada, the speed of this counterattack is still too fast.

Callejon's first push of the opening game almost crossed into Morata's header and threatened Roberto's goal.

But Granada was still in shock. Four minutes later, Nacho's successful defensive steal on the wing gave Real Madrid another chance to counterattack quickly!

Li Ang didn't catch the ball more this time, he sent a long pass directly behind Granada's defense.

The accuracy is still not particularly enough, but the ball speed is fast enough, and the advance given is also sufficient.

Morata, who successfully activated the anti-offside, quickly ran a half-single shot without the ball!

However, this kid still lacked self-confidence. Seeing that Granada's defensive players had a chance to interfere with his shot, he chose to pass the ball at the last moment.

Kaka received a cross pass from Morata in one step in the penalty area. There was no hesitation. With a kick from the far corner, he directly helped Real Madrid open the scoring!

This will be less than 6 minutes from the start of the game!
But Real Madrid took the lead so easily!
Granada's home fans were stunned by the result, as if they couldn't believe it.

This TM turned out to be Real Madrid's rotation?

How do they feel that they are facing a tough team in the middle and upper reaches of La Liga!
Kaka hugged and celebrated with Morata in the front field, but most of the reporters on the sidelines immediately turned their attention to Li Ang, who was standing near the middle circle.

This kid hit the core, and he really did it!
