Chapter 97 Li Ang does not exhaust, the winning streak does not end! [Big guys please subscribe! 】
"Three or four years ago, someone said that Harvey Alonso and Essien would become teammates, then I think many fans-not just Premier League fans, they would definitely find it difficult to imagine this scene happening on the pitch today, but Today we see it!
Old rivals in the Premier League in the past, and two midfielders at the top level in world football, have become each other's reliable partners today.
And being able to see Li Ang starting with these two midfielders, I am happy at the moment, just like when I saw Li Ang, Pirlo and Gattuso playing together before, I felt so happy! "
While suppressing the excitement and excitement in his heart, He Wei explained with emotion.
Today he was commenting on the Copa del Rey match by himself, if Xu Yang would partner with him, he would definitely be amazed and babbled again.
Many Chinese fans also feel incredible.
Fans who liked to watch the Premier League before know how fiercely Chelsea and Liverpool fought in the Premier League and Champions League in those years.
This will see Essien and Alonso both wearing white clothes to fight for Real Madrid. Apart from feeling magical, these old Premier League fans can only sigh the last sentence:
Sure enough, in the football world, you can never say "impossible"!
"It's a pity that Gerrard still refuses to leave Liverpool, it's a pity..."
Mourinho looked at the midfield combination he had built, and felt complacent, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling sorry for not hooking up with Gerrard again.
When he was still at Chelsea before, he had played Gerrard's idea.
When he went to Inter Milan later, he invited Gerrard.
Now he wants to pry Liverpool's corner again and bring Gerrard to the Bernabeu.
Just imagine, if Gerrard is the avant-garde in his lineup now, how perfect would it be?
However, Liverpool's team spirit once again rejected his invitation during the transfer window.
Gerrard made the most heroic decision, preferring to use his last ounce of strength to drag Liverpool from its sinking, rather than abandon his beloved team and go away to Madrid.
It's a pity that Mourinho is helpless, but in the end he can only send his sincere blessings to Gerrard.
Thinking of this, and looking at Khedira, who played as a central midfielder today, Mourinho's satisfaction value suddenly dropped a lot.
But there is no way, who made him call Khedira confidently at the beginning, and firmly believed that he could transform it into a super beast waist?
I have already kicked out one of the midfielders I wanted at the beginning, and I have to use the remaining one in tears no matter what.
Let's deal with this season first...
When Mourinho was retracting his divergent thoughts, the referee's whistle sounded on time.
"The game has begun! Zhuangdianertai, Zhuangdianertai"
He Wei quickly read the opening remarks by himself, and then introduced the starting lineups of the two teams to the domestic audience.
There is nothing to say about Real Madrid. Domestic fans who have watched Real Madrid games for half a season now almost know which players Mourinho likes to use.
Before Coentrao was injured, Marcelo played a stable start at left back, but now that Coentrao returned from injury, Mourinho gave him a chance to start in the Copa del Rey game.
Compared with Marcelo, who has a strong desire to attack and frequently goes forward, Mourinho still prefers Coentrao, who is excellent in defense.
The combination of Ramos and Pepe has stabilized as early as the beginning of the season.
Now as long as these two people are not injured and their condition does not decline, they are basically the iron starting partners of the central defender.
There is nothing to say about the right back, it is still Abeloa.
For two forwards, Mourinho will basically only choose Benzema to partner with Ronaldo, and it is the same today.
After all, compared to Higuain, Benzema's ability to pull the side and play the ball is stronger, which can increase Ronaldo's finishing power in counterattacks.
If you look at last season, Mourinho's love and trust for Higuain is greater than that of Benzema.
Before Higuain was injured, Benzema could not shake Higuain's starting position at all.
But when Ronaldo exploded this season and the scoring data skyrocketed, the situation is completely different.
It can only be said that Guo Feng's green leaf is still better.
Athletic Bilbao also came out with a starting lineup of [-].
Double striker Llorente plus Suzaeta.
The midfield combination is also quite hard, Harvey Martinez, Muniain, Iturras Pega Herrera.
The defense formed by Orteneche, De Marcos, Amorebeta and Elora helped Athletic Bilbao concede only [-] goals in the first [-] rounds of the league.
This is already a very good defensive level for a mid-range team.
The goalkeeper is Elisos, who has rich game experience.
Athletic Bilbao's starting lineup is fully in line with their positioning as a hard bone in the middle reaches of La Liga.
The two forwards are a classic combination of one high and one fast, and the main output Llorente has played a total of "40+10" in the past two seasons.
In terms of offensive firepower, Athletic Bilbao is not very strong, but it has a stable output point and can always stand up at critical moments.
The defense is good, but not to the level that Real Madrid need to pay more attention, mainly in their midfield.
Harvey Martinez is so delicious!
The midfield interception duo formed by him and Ituraspe may be second only to Alonso and Leon in La Liga.
Now I don’t know how many powerful teams in La Liga are playing Martinez’s idea, but it’s a pity that Athletic Bilbao doesn’t sell it.
That's not shouting slogans to increase the price, Athletic Bilbao really don't want to sell it!
Before Mourinho contacted Essien, he had already found a channel to talk to Martinez.
Harvey Martinez does not object to coming to Real Madrid, but Real Madrid needs to negotiate with his home team first.
As a result, as soon as Real Madrid came into contact with Athletic Bilbao, they were directly rejected.
The top Athletic Bilbao executives bluntly stated that Martinez and Llorente are not for sale, really not for sale.
Even if Real Madrid bid 3000 million euros to buy some time ago, Athletic Bilbao was not moved.
You know, this is during the winter window transfer period, and Real Madrid is quite sincere in their willingness to pay a transfer fee of 3000 million euros.
It's a pity that Athletic Bilbao is not making progress, and Martinez is unwilling to fall out with his home team at this time.
Mourinho can only let go in the end.
He is just optimistic about Martinez first, but it is really unrealistic to ask him to pay 4000 million euros to trigger the termination clause of Martinez's contract to bring him to the Bernabeu.
So Mourinho later turned to Boas and Abramovich to talk about loaning Essien.
Real Madrid's players didn't know that the opponent's midfielder almost became their new teammate at this moment.
Li Ang even had a head-to-head direct confrontation with Martinez shortly after the opening.
Well, for the high-altitude ball, Li Ang didn't beat him this time, and Martinez is still much taller than him in terms of size.
However, after feeling Martinez's powerful confrontation ability, Li Ang did not want to retreat.
On the contrary, he has long been mentally prepared, after all, he is the person in the world who knows the upper limit of Martinez's level best.
Before the game, Uncle Bird asked him to step in more today to deliver the ball to Ronaldo.
To make up for the slight offensive threat lost on the left after Coentrao started.
So he took the initiative to seek confrontation when he came up, in order to find out first.
With the score in mind, he decisively adopted another way to deal with Martinez.
"Walk on the flanks, fight for speed, and can't hit the front. How can I get in touch with Ronaldo if I waste too much time with him on the front."
After receiving the ball from Brother Long again, Li Ang didn't rush forward immediately.
While dribbling the ball laterally, he beckoned Khedira to drop back to give him a support.
Seeing Brother Face's figure running over knowingly, Li Ang began to dribble forward with the ball.
After getting close to Martinez, who was coming up to put pressure, Li Ang quickly knocked the ball to Brother Face who was diagonally in front of him, and then he accelerated with all his strength and went outside to overtake!
Martinez's physical flexibility is actually top-notch for a player his size.
But his turn was unavoidably slow.
Khedira's oblique ball advance is in place, helping Li Ang get rid of Martinez's entanglement in an instant.
Ituraspe fiercely rushed towards Li Ang from the back position, but he missed completely.
Because Li Ang passed the ball.
As soon as he got rid of Martinez, Li Ang saw the opportunity to send a through ball behind Athletic Bilbao's side defense!
That's what he's going to do.
And between his series of getting rid of the pass, Athletic Bilbao's midfield interception did not play the role it could have played in the past.
Many commentators praised Li Ang for playing smartly at this moment.
Ronaldo did not procrastinate after receiving the through ball sent by Li Ang, and quickly adjusted his pace to send a flat and fast pass to the penalty area of Athletic Bilbao.
It's a pity that Benzema has not competed against his opponent today in the fight for the top.
Athletic Bilbao's central defender Amorebieta taught Guo Feng a good lesson with his 1.9-meter-two bulk.
However, Real Madrid also quickly adjusted the follow-up offensive mode through the opening several offensive trials.
Athletic Bilbao each have a top header on their central axis. The number is not as good as that of Real Madrid, but the quality is not lost at all.
Ramos increased his entanglement with Llorente on the ground, preventing him from having the space to jump comfortably for the top.
Real Madrid also attacked more on the ground in the midfield, minimizing the number of long passes.
Long Ge concentrates on organizing and sorting out the ball in the midfield.
Essien assisted him in the transfer of the ball, and at the same time built the first line of interception near the center circle.
Li Ang and Khedira took on the task of linking up the midfield.
Khedira advanced more frequently, and sometimes had to cover to the right to meet Benzema.
Li Ang's task is a little more direct, which is to find a way to get the ball to his feet around Ronaldo.
In other words, with Essien to protect Long Ge today, Li Ang has become Ronaldo's queen thug and passer.
After Mourinho presupposed Li Ang's position, he also avoided his current shortcoming of weaker long pass ability.
Run a lot, return to defense quickly, have enough ability to take the ball forward and pass forward, and can always use his precise position selection to intercept the counterattack launched by Athletic Bilbao on this side in the first place.
After Li Ang's "little all-around" attribute was revealed, Athletic Bilbao almost paralyzed half of the midfield organization.
Moreover, Li Ang also gave Ronaldo the ball support very well. Ronaldo can always get a lot of opportunities to get the ball on this side, and Athletic Bilbao's defensive pressure is also greater.
"Mourinho has used Li Ang to his advantage! We used to say that Li Ang's forward press is a defensive midfielder, and the biggest role is to freeze the opponent's organizational core, but now it seems that Li Ang has developed on the offensive end. A lot of practical skills!"
He Wei watched Li Ang's performance on the field getting better and better, and his tone became more and more brisk.
However, the better Li Ang's performance and the more prominent his role, the more uncomfortable Athletic Bilbao's players and coach Bielsa will feel.
Originally, according to their pre-match tactical assumptions, Real Madrid should continue their recent good state at the Bernabeu and play a big offensive.
And their four midfielders happen to have a strong interception ability, and they can rely on Llorente's fulcrum ability to fight Real Madrid's counterattack.
Another one is that other La Liga teams are afraid of Alonso's long pass from the back to find offensive players, but they are not afraid of Athletic Bilbao.
There are Martinez and Amorebetta in the midfield, and Real Madrid can't grab a point, so this counterattack method is not a threat.
As a result, until now, Bielsa can see it clearly.
Mourinho also thought of all the tactical targets he thought of before the game!
Moreover, Mourinho also formulated new offensive and defensive tactics in reverse.
After passing the trial in the opening stage, Real Madrid tried their best to limit Llorente's ability to compete for the top, and basically used the ground to organize the attack.
Regardless of Real Madrid playing double forwards today, it seems that there are not as many opportunities as playing three forwards.
But Real Madrid's two strikers are all superstars with super personal abilities, and one of them is even more in a state of being. A superstar who has scored more than [-] goals in the league so far!
To deal with such a super giant forward, you'd better not give him a chance for the whole game, and stare him to death from beginning to end.
But Bielsa knows that the team that can do this will not be Athletic Bilbao.
If they could have such a strong defense, they would not be ranked seventh in La Liga now, but should be ranked in the top four in La Liga!
So Bielsa began to feel uneasy.
Because he doesn't know when Ronaldo will break out.
Mourinho is also waiting, waiting for Li Ang, waiting for Khedira to create an opportunity through frequent forward passes.
It will give Ronaldo a comfortable chance to face Athletic Bilbao's defense.
But what he didn't expect was that the opportunity didn't come from a direct pass from Li Ang or Khedira.
But on the sidewalk!
In the No.207 minute of the first half, Essien suddenly began to actively insert in the slightly anxious midfield tug-of-war.
Li Ang, who was holding the ball, saw that Athletic Bilbao's midfield and backcourt defenses were a little chaotic, so he had an idea and quickly moved closer to Essien who was advancing in the middle with the ball.
But just when almost all midfielders of Athletic Bilbao focused their defense on Li Ang and Essien.
Li Ang suddenly passed the ball back to the slightly empty left side of the midfield!
Coentrao, who had not been inserted many times before, advanced quite resolutely this time.
After receiving the ball from Li Ang, he rushed straight to the right defense zone guarded by Elora.
Ronaldo first ran around the side, but after seeing that Coentrao didn't intend to pass the ball to him, he immediately understood the meaning of his fellow countryman.
A deliberate pause in body position, C Rolla waited for Coentraan to run past him before turning to cut inside.
Elora is now helplessly following Coentraan's continuous approach and then retreats and waits for his teammates to chase back.
Seeing Ronaldo's sudden inward running, he subconsciously felt something was wrong.
But before he could make a sound to remind his teammates in the middle, Coentrao's ball had already passed!
Ronaldo leads the ball and cuts further inward. Amorebieta shrinks in the penalty area and stares at Benzema. De Marcos quickly presses forward to interfere with Ronaldo's defense.
"Here, Chris!"
Just when Ronaldo was about to kill De Marcos alone, a familiar shout from his side reminded him that he still had the support of his teammates.
Ronaldo didn't hesitate. After knocking the ball back quickly with the outside of his instep, he quickly passed De Marcos like a cheetah, and moved forward decisively!
And the figure who called him just now did not stop the ball and directly pushed forward with a through ball that was close to the turf!
The passing and running cooperation between the two is incomparable, it can be described as seamless!
After Cristiano Ronaldo entered the penalty area of Athletic Bilbao, he hit the ball with a straight push and shot!
Goalkeeper Elisos moved a little slower in haste, the football had already rubbed against the post at the near corner and entered the net, and his save was long overdue!
Ronaldo laughed happily and freely. He turned around and opened his arms at the moment when enthusiastic cheers broke out at the Bernabéu.
And a handsome big boy also hugged him with a smile.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Ang?
From the instigation of the attack to the final deadly through pass, Li Ang's handling was almost impeccable.
Without the picturesque and superb passing skills, Li Ang's organizational method is to reasonably plan the most suitable offensive route.
Including the last through ball, which is sharp and suitable, allowing Ronaldo to shoot directly with his feet very comfortably.
Many old La Liga fans who watched this game were also in a trance at this moment.
Because they are so familiar with this style!
They couldn't tell when Li Ang was organizing in the backcourt before.
But now that Li Ang is an offensive organization, the figure of the former midfield master immediately appeared in the minds of these old fans!
Belleron!
The same pursuit of the rationality of the offensive organization line, simple and solid passing style, sharp short pass through
"Could it be that Li Ang went to La Coruña to learn communication from Belleron, as the media advertised?"
Many old La Liga fans have such an idea that is close to the truth.
It's just that neither they nor the media reporters who reported this incident before could have imagined that Li Ang's learning from Belleron had started earlier.
In the hustle and bustle of the stadium, Li Ang and Ronaldo put their shoulders together and completed the scoring celebration with other teammates.
Mourinho also laughed and hugged Karanka off the court for a while.
Essien's performance in this nearly half an hour has exceeded their pre-match expectations.
The range of coverage and running is not as large as before, but the defensive protection of Alonso is still quite in place, and the passing and receiving of the ball are not procrastinated. At least when it cooperates with Alonso, it fits better than Las Diarra.
And with Essien's mopping up protection, the effect of Li Ang's position premise was quickly played out.
On the other hand, if Li Ang delays and kicks the midfielder later, Essien, who has recovered, can also be responsible for advancing forward and linking up the front midfielder.
Well, when the two get used to each other and can take turns to fill in each other's seats, Khedira will be able to sit on the bench with peace of mind~
After the celebration, the Real Madrid players trotted back to their own half with high morale.
Mourinho decisively made tactical adjustments, and Real Madrid's formation was directly transformed into four-five-one.
Li Ang's position retreated, and Long Ge once again formed a double midfielder, Ronaldo withdrew to the full-back position, Essien settled in the middle of the midfield, Khedira went to the right midfield, and Benzema advanced alone. .
The players of Athletic Bilbao watched Real Madrid's midfield full of people in an instant, and the mood that became depressed because they fell behind instantly became worse.
After taking the lead, he also strengthened the thickness of the midfield to play anti-reverse, no, why don't you be so stubborn!
Bielsa had already anticipated Mourinho's tactical adjustments, so he could only smile helplessly.
But Bielsa is Bielsa after all, and he didn't give in because of the plight of being targeted at the tactical level.
The players of Athletic Bilbao also became more morale after Bielsa's tactical gesture.
They want to take the initiative to attack Real Madrid at the Bernabeu!
The Basque lion can be defeated in battle, but he will never bow to the enemy!
Real Madrid's players on the pitch quickly felt the resolve of their opponents during the restart.
And the best way to respect your opponent is naturally to go all out in the same way.
Athletic Bilbao's midfield is not easy to penetrate, Real Madrid began to frequently go to the wing and rib area, using their own technical advantages to penetrate and advance in the counterattack.
However, in the first half, the follow-up goal luck of both teams was a bit poor, and Real Madrid also entered the intermission with a one-goal lead.
At the beginning of the second half, Mourinho replaced Khedira with Di Maria, and Real Madrid also changed the offensive mode to fly on both wings.
Athletic Bilbao finally couldn't hold it anymore.
In less than 10 minutes from the start of the second half, Ottner was almost blown out one-on-one by the energetic Di Maria!
Real Madrid broke through with a point, forcing Athletic Bilbao to mobilize their defensive forces to lean to the left of the formation.
So Ronaldo, who had been targeted on their right, suddenly became active as if breaking through the shackles.
This really killed Athletic Bilbao.
In the 603rd minute of the second half, after Ronaldo received Benzema's return ball and scored another goal with an unreasonable volley from outside the penalty area, there was basically no suspense in this game.
Real Madrid finally defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-0 at home, did not give the opponent an away goal, and almost entered the final semi-finals of this season's Copa del Rey with half a foot.
On the other side, Barcelona, which has recovered rapidly, also beat Mallorca 5-1 in the first round, and the second round was much easier than Real Madrid.
Because the two teams were assigned to different half-zones in the draw for the top 32 of the Copa del Rey this year, there is no need to worry about encountering each other before the final.
If there is no accident, this year's Copa del Rey final will be the same as last season, and it will be a battle between the two teams of Real Madrid.
But La Liga fans are gradually getting used to it.
In the past two seasons, the increase in combat effectiveness of the two teams of Real Madrid has become more and more outrageous.
It is quite easy to play against other teams in La Liga and Copa del Rey.
It is basically impossible to expect the Spaniard and Valencia to defeat Real Madrid in two upsets.
Besides, the Spanish national derby is so beautiful. The fans hope that Real Madrid and Barcelona will collide many times like last year. The more games they play, the better.
The Copa del Rey final is a good national derby, as long as the two teams play a little more unrestrainedly, and don't be flat in nine or 10 minutes like last season.
After this round of the Copa del Rey match was over, the La Liga battle kicked off again.
Due to the breakdown of labor negotiations at the beginning of the season, the first round of La Liga was postponed at that time, and it was delayed until this time to complete the make-up match.
Correspondingly, time was taken up by the make-up match of the first round of the league, and the No. 20 league round of La Liga could only be postponed until May.
But this is barely good news for Real Madrid.
Because they happened to play Athletic Bilbao in the first and No.20 rounds of the league.
If the No. 20 league round is followed by the first round of make-up matches, they will probably have to play four games against Athletic Bilbao in less than ten days!
Two league games, two Copa del Rey games, both teams have to shed a layer of skin after the game.
Now, the situation is a little bit better. It is better to meet three times in a short period of time than four times.
On January 1, after Real Madrid played the Copa del Rey and rested for more than three days, they once again ushered in the challenge of Athletic Bilbao at the Bernabeu.
Both Mourinho and Bielsa smiled helplessly and hugged for a while before the game.
In the game of the day, Athletic Bilbao also brought a lot of "surprises" to Real Madrid.
After Bielsa learned the lesson of the defeat in the last round of the Copa del Rey, this league directly arranged a bold starting lineup of [-].
Mourinho really didn't expect Bielsa to play this trick. Uncle Bird, who always liked to play tactical traps against others in the past, fell into a ditch today.
Because Real Madrid started the game with a four-three-three offensive formation and lacked enough midfielders, Athletic Bilbao took advantage of the number of midfielders to push them back to their own half.
Athletic Bilbao even took advantage of the situation to hold high and play high, using Martinez and Llorente's two high points in the frontcourt to continuously break through from the two wings and send crosses to break the game.
Real Madrid's players on the field were stunned by this simple and crude offensive tactic for a while.
In the No. 11 minute of the first half, Llorente used his offensive threat to attract the attention of Real Madrid's two central defenders.
Martinez seized the opportunity to catch a cross from his teammate and return it with a header.
Suzaeta, the second striker who was almost locked by Alonso in the last round of the Copa del Rey, and who did nothing throughout the game, calmly stopped the ball at this moment and then pushed to the far corner of the goal.
Casillas' line of sight happened to be blocked by the interference of his own players. When he saw the football rolling towards the far corner of the goal, it was too late to react and make a save!
The players of Athletic Bilbao went crazy when they saw the football hit the net!
The same is true for their fans, celebrating wildly at the Bernabeu!
All the commentators did not expect this to happen, and the Real Madrid fans couldn't believe it.
They actually lost the ball by the opponent's random bombardment in the opening stage?
Casillas shook his head helplessly with his hips on his hips. He could neither blame himself nor his teammates for the ball.
Both Pepe and Ramos divided labor and cooperated in their respective positions. They not only restricted the most threatening Llorente, but also forced Martinez to not directly head the goal.
But who knew that a Suzaeta would stand up and score a goal without hesitation at this time?
Li Ang didn't have time to shout to remind his teammates to cheer up, he immediately looked to the sidelines.
Mourinho shook his head at him, and quietly made a tactical gesture to continue attacking.
Li Ang was a little puzzled at first, but when the game resumed, he saw that Athletic Bilbao still wanted to fight against Real Madrid and not retreat, and he understood:
Bielsa's game should be to use his own tactical philosophy to fight Real Madrid.
In the last round of the Copa del Rey, he wanted to defend, but in the end he failed to defend anything, so he does not want to defend this round of the league.
Mourinho should have seen Bielsa's tactical intentions, so he just made a gesture to himself not to mess up and continue to attack.
After all, Athletic Bilbao is playing a three-back system today, and the midfielder has a numerical advantage, but once Real Madrid breaks through the center line defense, the defense will be wide open.
Mourinho is confident that he can suppress Athletic Bilbao in the subsequent confrontation, and Li Ang has no doubts when he sees this.
Alonso also quickly understood Mourinho's intentions, and quickly sorted out the offensive line after re-kick-off, providing teammates on both wings with a steady stream of advancing ball rights.
Li Ang began to get in frequently, and Granero, who started today, also pressed on the center line.
With their forward pressure support, Real Madrid's counterattack quickly achieved good results.
But today the players of Athletic Bilbao are very active in running.
Their five midfielders seem to be playing the set of total attack and total defense. They have the opportunity to press forward together, and they are also quite active in retreating and pressing after being intercepted.
In this situation, Higuain, who started the game, did not retreat and pull out of the penalty area to help the wingers on both wings share the pressure of attacking with the ball.
On the contrary, he was firmly nailed in the penalty area of Athletic Bilbao, as if he wanted to use his ability to grab points to help Real Madrid score early to equalize the score.
It's a pity that he nailed it for almost 10 minutes, and he didn't see a few decent shots.
DeMarcos is too good at pestering him on the ground.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria played a high ball. In front of the 1.9-meter-two Amorebeta, Higuain didn't have much room to play.
The organizational rhythm of the offense is still stable. Real Madrid also got a lot of opportunities in the half of Athletic Bilbao, but in the important part of the end, today's Real Madrid is chaotic.
Higuain did not let the position in the middle of the penalty area, and did not help to open the defensive players. Neither Ronaldo nor Di Maria had many good opportunities to cut in.
Mourinho saw it clearly off the field, and he gave Higuain half an hour.
For half an hour, after seeing that Higuain still didn't have half of his inner consciousness, Mourinho decided to let his brain clear up.
"Oh! Substitution! Mourinho asked for a substitution, and Benzema stood on the sidelines. Is this to replace Higuain?"
Today, Xu Yang, who partnered with He Wei again to commentate the game, shouted first.
He Wei also heaved a sigh of relief.
"Finally, Higuain was replaced. Today he has a problem with his mind. He must be calmed down!"
Of course, He Wei didn't dare to say this in his heart during the live broadcast.
Seeing Higuain's depressed face, he still spoke a few words for him, guessing that Higuain might have a problem with his state today.
However, after Benzema came on the field and improved Real Madrid's offensive shooting efficiency in a short period of time, He Wei also kept silent and stopped talking about Higuain's status.
Guo Feng has already proved it well with his actions. Is this a matter of mentality and self-positioning?
That is to say, there is not much time left for Real Madrid in the first half, otherwise Ronaldo might really be able to score an equalizing goal with the help of Benzema.
Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid lost their physical fitness very quickly after playing a half-court total defense.
But at the beginning of the second half, they still tried to grab the start and disrupted Real Madrid's offensive rhythm.
Six, 57 minutes later, the Basque Lion, who was a little bit impatient, slowly withdrew his sharp claws and fangs.
Bielsa looked at the exhausted state of his disciples at the moment, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to shrink the half-court defense for a while before talking.
Real Madrid was waiting for this opportunity, and Li Ang teamed up with Granero to quickly seize control of the arc top area of the middle circle.
Suzaeta, the goal hero of Llorente and Athletic Bilbao, will also withdraw to the center line to interfere with Real Madrid's offensive organization.
However, their defensive strength was only an interference effect. Real Madrid pressed forward aggressively and launched a fierce offensive amidst the loud cheers of the fans at the scene.
Athletic Bilbao put on a defensive posture of three midfielders, Martinez, San Jose, and Iturraspe all defended in front of their own big penalty area.
Herrera and Muniain played the role of wing backs on the sidelines.
Real Madrid tried to use the penetrating attack method and played for another 10 minutes. Seeing that the effect was not good, Ronaldo and Di Maria, two long-range shooters, began to use their personal abilities to sway the angle and frequently fired from outside the penalty area.
Mourinho also replaced Granero with Essien in the No. 608 minute, which further strengthened the threat of Real Madrid's heavy bombardment outside the penalty area.
In the 705th minute of the second half, Li Ang gave Essien a ball supporter, helping him complete his first long-range shot after playing at a position about 33 meters away from the goal.
Elisos didn't dare to be careless, and directly blocked Essien's heavy bombardment from the bottom line.
Seeing that they got a corner kick, the header players in the Real Madrid team rushed forward and plunged into the penalty area of Athletic Bilbao.
Now it's the turn of Athletic Bilbao fans to worry.
10 minutes ago, Real Madrid almost took advantage of a corner kick to score.
At that time, Pepe shook his head to attack the goal at a slightly higher angle, and finally flew towards the stands by rubbing the beam.
So this time Pepe and Ramos rushed into the penalty area again, and the defensive players of Athletic Bilbao greeted each other as if they were facing a big enemy and took defensive targets.
But there are still too many people that Real Madrid needs to target.
Two central defender brothers, Li Ang, Benzema, Ronaldo.
Athletic Bilbao has only three header high points anyway, and two Real Madrid headers have to be missed in one-on-one.
Li Ang will be standing next to De Marcos now, and Martinez will ignore Ronaldo when he sees Ronaldo.
Di Maria raised his left arm high in the corner flag area, and then sent a low-altitude flying arc to the front of Athletic Bilbao's penalty area with a run-up!
Playing in the middle of the penalty area and the back point with a large number of people, Real Madrid's players may not be able to grab a point, so it is reasonable for Di Maria to choose to send a free throw that falls to the front point.
Seeing that the football could not fly, Li Ang immediately moved to the outside of the penalty area.
Ramos from the previous point will overwhelm Herrera and complete a header like looking back at the moon.
In the middle of Athletic Bilbao's penalty area, Benzema, who was rushing forward, could not get rid of Amorebetta's marking. Bilbao's goalkeeper Elisos punched the ball out of the penalty area decisively.
This will cause chaos in Biba's penalty area, and Essien, who is at the top of the arc in the penalty area, is stuck in his position.
After observing for a while, he resisted Muniain's defensive interference, stopped the ball with his chest, and then used the arch of his feet to drive the ball to the right edge of the penalty area.
Li Ang, who had not been noticed before, easily stopped the ball on the right side of Biba's big penalty area.
He adjusted his step and seemed to complete the volley. This scene reminded many Athletic Bilbao players.
In the previous game against Real Sociedad, Li Ang seemed to have played a world wave!
De Marcos jumped out to make a defensive interception, and Martinez was also ready to fly to block the eye-catching.
But none of them thought that Li Ang just feinted his shot!
As Li Ang's rear-swinging calf quickly fell, the football was also passed out by him, and flew straight to the back point on the other side of Biba's penalty area!
"Li Ang shoots a fake shot! Click later!"
He Wei couldn't help roaring angrily, and at the moment where the football landed, Ronaldo also tried his best to break away from San Jose's entanglement with him!
Before Amorebieta was in place to defend, Ronaldo leaped high, stretched out his posture and powerfully pushed the football towards the middle of the goal!
Elisos's instantaneous judgment was the far corner, so he could only watch the football fly into the goal he was guarding in the end!
No. 707 minutes in the second half!
Li Ang assisted Ronaldo to finish the goal against Athletic Bilbao with difficulty and successfully tied the score at 1-1!
In the Bernabéu stadium where terrifying cheers erupted like a volcanic eruption.
Both Ronaldo and Li Ang resisted the urge to celebrate.
One of them rushed into the net to get the ball, and the other waved his arms and roared, signaling his teammates to follow him and return to the half court to wait for Biba's players to kick off again!
Mourinho also roared and punched hard at this moment!
After venting his excitement, he quickly lit Callejon again.
So before the game restarted, Real Madrid quickly completed the last substitution adjustment.
Callejon replaced Abeloa, the classic striker for guard!
Obviously, Mourinho wanted to seize the time to fight for a lead at the last moment!
Bielsa looked at the situation of being equalized by Real Madrid at the last moment. He couldn't attack even if he wanted to. He could only wave his hand and replace defenders Eguiza, Koykili and midfielder Inigo Perez. superior.
"They are scared! They want to defend! We must improve our offensive efficiency!"
When Li Ang saw the substitution of Athletic Bilbao, he turned his head and applauded loudly to remind his teammates.
The whole Real Madrid team didn't waste time either, and since the restart of the game, they have actively carried out a comprehensive press against Athletic Bilbao.
Immediately after grabbing the ball, go into the attack. If the ball is cut off, then actively counter-grab it on the spot.
This momentum made the Real Madrid fans at the scene restless, and they booed strongly at the defending Athletic Bilbao players.
But this will make the Biba team not care so much.
They just want to keep this hard-won point.
Lying on the grass, fouling, protecting the ball and delaying time.
It can be said that Biba used all the tricks to delay the time. The Real Madrid fans who watched a lot of TV were angry and anxious.
Li Ang forced himself to calm down.
The teammates in front of this meeting have to rely on him and Brother Long to organize the offensive line, so everyone can be anxious, but he and Brother Long must not be anxious.
"My advantage, my superior physical fitness!"
After a quick thought, Li Ang made a bold decision.
After receiving a pass back from Callejón after he failed to break through, Li Ang observed it and began to slowly dribble the ball forward.
Ituraspe, sweating profusely, stepped forward to suppress Li Ang's dribbling space. In the next moment, Li Ang decisively walked the ball to the side!
He wants to eat Ituraspe by force!
If such a decision were made at the opening stage of the game, Uncle Bird would definitely scold him if he dared to do so.
But this will see Li Ang squeeze his physical fitness to surpass Iturraspe bit by bit, Mourinho has no idea of blaming people at all, he only hopes that Li Ang can have more energy to rush forward!
All the Real Madrid fans also looked nervously at the two figures sprinting on the right side of Biba at this moment.
Ituraspe couldn't stand it anymore, he didn't even dare to take a big breath, for fear that he would be discouraged when he opened his mouth.
So he chose to reach out, and he wanted to use a foul to stop Li Ang's sudden advance.
It's a pity that his decision was a bit late.
The moment Li Ang chose to stretch out his hand, he led the ball and cut inside again!
It's not a fancy dribbling move, it's just a simple inward cut with the ball.
Li Ang's dribbling skills did not support him to play any delicate little technical changes, but such a simple and direct dribbling move boosted the confidence of the Real Madrid fans on the spot at this moment!
"Come on! Little lion, keep going!"
Shouts full of hope sounded in the stadium.
The Real Madrid fans watched the figure who continued to squeeze his physical fitness rampage in Biba's half.
He escaped Muniain's pull and successfully entered Athletic Bilbao's defensive third area. He faced Harvey Martinez!
"I'm definitely in a mess right now."
Under the intense and frequent breathing, Li Ang still had time to think about his current appearance.
Dirty jersey, sweat and grass clippings all over his face, and wet mid-length hair, apart from his face, he has nothing to do with being handsome now.
But even in this embarrassment, he still won the bet, at least half of it!
His greater physical fitness is his biggest advantage at the moment.
Run faster, run longer, and he will be able to create the last chance for Real Madrid!
Faced with Martinez, Li Ang didn't have much confidence in his heart, but he continued to charge forward with the ball.
In the final moments of the game, football has completely become a game for the brave and the strong.
Martinez was also brave. He stepped forward with firm steps and met the slightly embarrassed figure holding the ball.
The two once again had a fierce confrontation in a quick stagger.
Li Ang exerted the last wave of physical energy that could erupt, protecting the ball and moving forward with difficulty by Martinez's side!
He saw Martinez's determined eyes, and felt the huge pulling power transmitted to him by Martinez's suddenly bulging arms!
"Am I going to fall?"
Li Ang flashed such a thought in a trance.
He didn't want to fall, and he wanted to go forward and make a final effort, but Martinez pulled him with all his strength at the last moment and he couldn't carry it anymore.
However, at the last moment when he glanced at the front court from the corner of his eye, a resolute forward figure shook his mind!
At this moment when the temporary clarity is restored, it is also the moment when he falls to the ground.
Li Ang tried his best, stretched the arch of his feet as much as possible, and pushed the football to the direction that the forward figure was heading for!
The next moment, the moment his body touched the turf, Li Ang let out a muffled snort.
This wave of forward thrusts forced by gritted teeth made him almost exhausted. Even if he could run again later, he would have to rest for at least a minute or two.
Turning over with difficulty, Li Ang gritted his teeth and supported the turf with his hands, and then slowly stood up.
In the next moment, deafening and crazy cheers erupted from the scene!
At the moment when this terrifying sound wave swept him away, Li Ang didn't even have time to look back to see what happened, but was hugged tightly by Brother Long who rushed to the front with a ferocious face!
"We... scored a goal?!"
Brother Long's roar was drowned out by the huge sound waves, and Li Ang couldn't hear what he said excitedly.
I could only ask anxiously.
Essien and Callejon came back, and they also embraced Li Ang tightly with excitement and ecstasy on their faces!
Now Li Ang has no doubts.
Because when he switched his gaze, he had already seen the scene he wanted to see the most.
At the Bernabeu, the Real Madrid fans were jumping and screaming passionately!
Li Ang saw all the teammates who had rushed out of the bench on the sidelines. Of course, the familiar figure who took the lead and ran wildly on the sidelines was indispensable!
He opened his hands and hugged the three of them tightly behind his back, allowing them to prop him up and keep jumping excitedly on the spot.
Slowly, Li Anggao raised his arm after recovering some physical strength!
He Wei, who had already shouted and celebrated Ronaldo's winning goal, saw the scene of Li Ang raising his arms high, another burst of passion!
"This is Li Ang! The resolute Li Ang! The Li Ang who firmly held the last hope of Real Madrid!!!
If Li Ang does not exhaust himself, the winning streak will not end!
hala madrid! ! ! "
Well, in the end I decided to write a big chapter, a little bit late, and give it to the big guys first!
Bang bang bang!
I haven't recommended any books recently, but I wandered around the new book area and found a few good new books, which I recommend to the big guys.
The first book: "Hang Mbappe Harland My opponent is Messi"
The second book: "NBA: I am not Oden"
The third book: The new book "The Last Ball King" by Mr. Chen Aiting
Finally, please subscribe and ask for tickets!
(End of this chapter)
"Three or four years ago, someone said that Harvey Alonso and Essien would become teammates, then I think many fans-not just Premier League fans, they would definitely find it difficult to imagine this scene happening on the pitch today, but Today we see it!
Old rivals in the Premier League in the past, and two midfielders at the top level in world football, have become each other's reliable partners today.
And being able to see Li Ang starting with these two midfielders, I am happy at the moment, just like when I saw Li Ang, Pirlo and Gattuso playing together before, I felt so happy! "
While suppressing the excitement and excitement in his heart, He Wei explained with emotion.
Today he was commenting on the Copa del Rey match by himself, if Xu Yang would partner with him, he would definitely be amazed and babbled again.
Many Chinese fans also feel incredible.
Fans who liked to watch the Premier League before know how fiercely Chelsea and Liverpool fought in the Premier League and Champions League in those years.
This will see Essien and Alonso both wearing white clothes to fight for Real Madrid. Apart from feeling magical, these old Premier League fans can only sigh the last sentence:
Sure enough, in the football world, you can never say "impossible"!
"It's a pity that Gerrard still refuses to leave Liverpool, it's a pity..."
Mourinho looked at the midfield combination he had built, and felt complacent, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling sorry for not hooking up with Gerrard again.
When he was still at Chelsea before, he had played Gerrard's idea.
When he went to Inter Milan later, he invited Gerrard.
Now he wants to pry Liverpool's corner again and bring Gerrard to the Bernabeu.
Just imagine, if Gerrard is the avant-garde in his lineup now, how perfect would it be?
However, Liverpool's team spirit once again rejected his invitation during the transfer window.
Gerrard made the most heroic decision, preferring to use his last ounce of strength to drag Liverpool from its sinking, rather than abandon his beloved team and go away to Madrid.
It's a pity that Mourinho is helpless, but in the end he can only send his sincere blessings to Gerrard.
Thinking of this, and looking at Khedira, who played as a central midfielder today, Mourinho's satisfaction value suddenly dropped a lot.
But there is no way, who made him call Khedira confidently at the beginning, and firmly believed that he could transform it into a super beast waist?
I have already kicked out one of the midfielders I wanted at the beginning, and I have to use the remaining one in tears no matter what.
Let's deal with this season first...
When Mourinho was retracting his divergent thoughts, the referee's whistle sounded on time.
"The game has begun! Zhuangdianertai, Zhuangdianertai"
He Wei quickly read the opening remarks by himself, and then introduced the starting lineups of the two teams to the domestic audience.
There is nothing to say about Real Madrid. Domestic fans who have watched Real Madrid games for half a season now almost know which players Mourinho likes to use.
Before Coentrao was injured, Marcelo played a stable start at left back, but now that Coentrao returned from injury, Mourinho gave him a chance to start in the Copa del Rey game.
Compared with Marcelo, who has a strong desire to attack and frequently goes forward, Mourinho still prefers Coentrao, who is excellent in defense.
The combination of Ramos and Pepe has stabilized as early as the beginning of the season.
Now as long as these two people are not injured and their condition does not decline, they are basically the iron starting partners of the central defender.
There is nothing to say about the right back, it is still Abeloa.
For two forwards, Mourinho will basically only choose Benzema to partner with Ronaldo, and it is the same today.
After all, compared to Higuain, Benzema's ability to pull the side and play the ball is stronger, which can increase Ronaldo's finishing power in counterattacks.
If you look at last season, Mourinho's love and trust for Higuain is greater than that of Benzema.
Before Higuain was injured, Benzema could not shake Higuain's starting position at all.
But when Ronaldo exploded this season and the scoring data skyrocketed, the situation is completely different.
It can only be said that Guo Feng's green leaf is still better.
Athletic Bilbao also came out with a starting lineup of [-].
Double striker Llorente plus Suzaeta.
The midfield combination is also quite hard, Harvey Martinez, Muniain, Iturras Pega Herrera.
The defense formed by Orteneche, De Marcos, Amorebeta and Elora helped Athletic Bilbao concede only [-] goals in the first [-] rounds of the league.
This is already a very good defensive level for a mid-range team.
The goalkeeper is Elisos, who has rich game experience.
Athletic Bilbao's starting lineup is fully in line with their positioning as a hard bone in the middle reaches of La Liga.
The two forwards are a classic combination of one high and one fast, and the main output Llorente has played a total of "40+10" in the past two seasons.
In terms of offensive firepower, Athletic Bilbao is not very strong, but it has a stable output point and can always stand up at critical moments.
The defense is good, but not to the level that Real Madrid need to pay more attention, mainly in their midfield.
Harvey Martinez is so delicious!
The midfield interception duo formed by him and Ituraspe may be second only to Alonso and Leon in La Liga.
Now I don’t know how many powerful teams in La Liga are playing Martinez’s idea, but it’s a pity that Athletic Bilbao doesn’t sell it.
That's not shouting slogans to increase the price, Athletic Bilbao really don't want to sell it!
Before Mourinho contacted Essien, he had already found a channel to talk to Martinez.
Harvey Martinez does not object to coming to Real Madrid, but Real Madrid needs to negotiate with his home team first.
As a result, as soon as Real Madrid came into contact with Athletic Bilbao, they were directly rejected.
The top Athletic Bilbao executives bluntly stated that Martinez and Llorente are not for sale, really not for sale.
Even if Real Madrid bid 3000 million euros to buy some time ago, Athletic Bilbao was not moved.
You know, this is during the winter window transfer period, and Real Madrid is quite sincere in their willingness to pay a transfer fee of 3000 million euros.
It's a pity that Athletic Bilbao is not making progress, and Martinez is unwilling to fall out with his home team at this time.
Mourinho can only let go in the end.
He is just optimistic about Martinez first, but it is really unrealistic to ask him to pay 4000 million euros to trigger the termination clause of Martinez's contract to bring him to the Bernabeu.
So Mourinho later turned to Boas and Abramovich to talk about loaning Essien.
Real Madrid's players didn't know that the opponent's midfielder almost became their new teammate at this moment.
Li Ang even had a head-to-head direct confrontation with Martinez shortly after the opening.
Well, for the high-altitude ball, Li Ang didn't beat him this time, and Martinez is still much taller than him in terms of size.
However, after feeling Martinez's powerful confrontation ability, Li Ang did not want to retreat.
On the contrary, he has long been mentally prepared, after all, he is the person in the world who knows the upper limit of Martinez's level best.
Before the game, Uncle Bird asked him to step in more today to deliver the ball to Ronaldo.
To make up for the slight offensive threat lost on the left after Coentrao started.
So he took the initiative to seek confrontation when he came up, in order to find out first.
With the score in mind, he decisively adopted another way to deal with Martinez.
"Walk on the flanks, fight for speed, and can't hit the front. How can I get in touch with Ronaldo if I waste too much time with him on the front."
After receiving the ball from Brother Long again, Li Ang didn't rush forward immediately.
While dribbling the ball laterally, he beckoned Khedira to drop back to give him a support.
Seeing Brother Face's figure running over knowingly, Li Ang began to dribble forward with the ball.
After getting close to Martinez, who was coming up to put pressure, Li Ang quickly knocked the ball to Brother Face who was diagonally in front of him, and then he accelerated with all his strength and went outside to overtake!
Martinez's physical flexibility is actually top-notch for a player his size.
But his turn was unavoidably slow.
Khedira's oblique ball advance is in place, helping Li Ang get rid of Martinez's entanglement in an instant.
Ituraspe fiercely rushed towards Li Ang from the back position, but he missed completely.
Because Li Ang passed the ball.
As soon as he got rid of Martinez, Li Ang saw the opportunity to send a through ball behind Athletic Bilbao's side defense!
That's what he's going to do.
And between his series of getting rid of the pass, Athletic Bilbao's midfield interception did not play the role it could have played in the past.
Many commentators praised Li Ang for playing smartly at this moment.
Ronaldo did not procrastinate after receiving the through ball sent by Li Ang, and quickly adjusted his pace to send a flat and fast pass to the penalty area of Athletic Bilbao.
It's a pity that Benzema has not competed against his opponent today in the fight for the top.
Athletic Bilbao's central defender Amorebieta taught Guo Feng a good lesson with his 1.9-meter-two bulk.
However, Real Madrid also quickly adjusted the follow-up offensive mode through the opening several offensive trials.
Athletic Bilbao each have a top header on their central axis. The number is not as good as that of Real Madrid, but the quality is not lost at all.
Ramos increased his entanglement with Llorente on the ground, preventing him from having the space to jump comfortably for the top.
Real Madrid also attacked more on the ground in the midfield, minimizing the number of long passes.
Long Ge concentrates on organizing and sorting out the ball in the midfield.
Essien assisted him in the transfer of the ball, and at the same time built the first line of interception near the center circle.
Li Ang and Khedira took on the task of linking up the midfield.
Khedira advanced more frequently, and sometimes had to cover to the right to meet Benzema.
Li Ang's task is a little more direct, which is to find a way to get the ball to his feet around Ronaldo.
In other words, with Essien to protect Long Ge today, Li Ang has become Ronaldo's queen thug and passer.
After Mourinho presupposed Li Ang's position, he also avoided his current shortcoming of weaker long pass ability.
Run a lot, return to defense quickly, have enough ability to take the ball forward and pass forward, and can always use his precise position selection to intercept the counterattack launched by Athletic Bilbao on this side in the first place.
After Li Ang's "little all-around" attribute was revealed, Athletic Bilbao almost paralyzed half of the midfield organization.
Moreover, Li Ang also gave Ronaldo the ball support very well. Ronaldo can always get a lot of opportunities to get the ball on this side, and Athletic Bilbao's defensive pressure is also greater.
"Mourinho has used Li Ang to his advantage! We used to say that Li Ang's forward press is a defensive midfielder, and the biggest role is to freeze the opponent's organizational core, but now it seems that Li Ang has developed on the offensive end. A lot of practical skills!"
He Wei watched Li Ang's performance on the field getting better and better, and his tone became more and more brisk.
However, the better Li Ang's performance and the more prominent his role, the more uncomfortable Athletic Bilbao's players and coach Bielsa will feel.
Originally, according to their pre-match tactical assumptions, Real Madrid should continue their recent good state at the Bernabeu and play a big offensive.
And their four midfielders happen to have a strong interception ability, and they can rely on Llorente's fulcrum ability to fight Real Madrid's counterattack.
Another one is that other La Liga teams are afraid of Alonso's long pass from the back to find offensive players, but they are not afraid of Athletic Bilbao.
There are Martinez and Amorebetta in the midfield, and Real Madrid can't grab a point, so this counterattack method is not a threat.
As a result, until now, Bielsa can see it clearly.
Mourinho also thought of all the tactical targets he thought of before the game!
Moreover, Mourinho also formulated new offensive and defensive tactics in reverse.
After passing the trial in the opening stage, Real Madrid tried their best to limit Llorente's ability to compete for the top, and basically used the ground to organize the attack.
Regardless of Real Madrid playing double forwards today, it seems that there are not as many opportunities as playing three forwards.
But Real Madrid's two strikers are all superstars with super personal abilities, and one of them is even more in a state of being. A superstar who has scored more than [-] goals in the league so far!
To deal with such a super giant forward, you'd better not give him a chance for the whole game, and stare him to death from beginning to end.
But Bielsa knows that the team that can do this will not be Athletic Bilbao.
If they could have such a strong defense, they would not be ranked seventh in La Liga now, but should be ranked in the top four in La Liga!
So Bielsa began to feel uneasy.
Because he doesn't know when Ronaldo will break out.
Mourinho is also waiting, waiting for Li Ang, waiting for Khedira to create an opportunity through frequent forward passes.
It will give Ronaldo a comfortable chance to face Athletic Bilbao's defense.
But what he didn't expect was that the opportunity didn't come from a direct pass from Li Ang or Khedira.
But on the sidewalk!
In the No.207 minute of the first half, Essien suddenly began to actively insert in the slightly anxious midfield tug-of-war.
Li Ang, who was holding the ball, saw that Athletic Bilbao's midfield and backcourt defenses were a little chaotic, so he had an idea and quickly moved closer to Essien who was advancing in the middle with the ball.
But just when almost all midfielders of Athletic Bilbao focused their defense on Li Ang and Essien.
Li Ang suddenly passed the ball back to the slightly empty left side of the midfield!
Coentrao, who had not been inserted many times before, advanced quite resolutely this time.
After receiving the ball from Li Ang, he rushed straight to the right defense zone guarded by Elora.
Ronaldo first ran around the side, but after seeing that Coentrao didn't intend to pass the ball to him, he immediately understood the meaning of his fellow countryman.
A deliberate pause in body position, C Rolla waited for Coentraan to run past him before turning to cut inside.
Elora is now helplessly following Coentraan's continuous approach and then retreats and waits for his teammates to chase back.
Seeing Ronaldo's sudden inward running, he subconsciously felt something was wrong.
But before he could make a sound to remind his teammates in the middle, Coentrao's ball had already passed!
Ronaldo leads the ball and cuts further inward. Amorebieta shrinks in the penalty area and stares at Benzema. De Marcos quickly presses forward to interfere with Ronaldo's defense.
"Here, Chris!"
Just when Ronaldo was about to kill De Marcos alone, a familiar shout from his side reminded him that he still had the support of his teammates.
Ronaldo didn't hesitate. After knocking the ball back quickly with the outside of his instep, he quickly passed De Marcos like a cheetah, and moved forward decisively!
And the figure who called him just now did not stop the ball and directly pushed forward with a through ball that was close to the turf!
The passing and running cooperation between the two is incomparable, it can be described as seamless!
After Cristiano Ronaldo entered the penalty area of Athletic Bilbao, he hit the ball with a straight push and shot!
Goalkeeper Elisos moved a little slower in haste, the football had already rubbed against the post at the near corner and entered the net, and his save was long overdue!
Ronaldo laughed happily and freely. He turned around and opened his arms at the moment when enthusiastic cheers broke out at the Bernabéu.
And a handsome big boy also hugged him with a smile.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Ang?
From the instigation of the attack to the final deadly through pass, Li Ang's handling was almost impeccable.
Without the picturesque and superb passing skills, Li Ang's organizational method is to reasonably plan the most suitable offensive route.
Including the last through ball, which is sharp and suitable, allowing Ronaldo to shoot directly with his feet very comfortably.
Many old La Liga fans who watched this game were also in a trance at this moment.
Because they are so familiar with this style!
They couldn't tell when Li Ang was organizing in the backcourt before.
But now that Li Ang is an offensive organization, the figure of the former midfield master immediately appeared in the minds of these old fans!
Belleron!
The same pursuit of the rationality of the offensive organization line, simple and solid passing style, sharp short pass through
"Could it be that Li Ang went to La Coruña to learn communication from Belleron, as the media advertised?"
Many old La Liga fans have such an idea that is close to the truth.
It's just that neither they nor the media reporters who reported this incident before could have imagined that Li Ang's learning from Belleron had started earlier.
In the hustle and bustle of the stadium, Li Ang and Ronaldo put their shoulders together and completed the scoring celebration with other teammates.
Mourinho also laughed and hugged Karanka off the court for a while.
Essien's performance in this nearly half an hour has exceeded their pre-match expectations.
The range of coverage and running is not as large as before, but the defensive protection of Alonso is still quite in place, and the passing and receiving of the ball are not procrastinated. At least when it cooperates with Alonso, it fits better than Las Diarra.
And with Essien's mopping up protection, the effect of Li Ang's position premise was quickly played out.
On the other hand, if Li Ang delays and kicks the midfielder later, Essien, who has recovered, can also be responsible for advancing forward and linking up the front midfielder.
Well, when the two get used to each other and can take turns to fill in each other's seats, Khedira will be able to sit on the bench with peace of mind~
After the celebration, the Real Madrid players trotted back to their own half with high morale.
Mourinho decisively made tactical adjustments, and Real Madrid's formation was directly transformed into four-five-one.
Li Ang's position retreated, and Long Ge once again formed a double midfielder, Ronaldo withdrew to the full-back position, Essien settled in the middle of the midfield, Khedira went to the right midfield, and Benzema advanced alone. .
The players of Athletic Bilbao watched Real Madrid's midfield full of people in an instant, and the mood that became depressed because they fell behind instantly became worse.
After taking the lead, he also strengthened the thickness of the midfield to play anti-reverse, no, why don't you be so stubborn!
Bielsa had already anticipated Mourinho's tactical adjustments, so he could only smile helplessly.
But Bielsa is Bielsa after all, and he didn't give in because of the plight of being targeted at the tactical level.
The players of Athletic Bilbao also became more morale after Bielsa's tactical gesture.
They want to take the initiative to attack Real Madrid at the Bernabeu!
The Basque lion can be defeated in battle, but he will never bow to the enemy!
Real Madrid's players on the pitch quickly felt the resolve of their opponents during the restart.
And the best way to respect your opponent is naturally to go all out in the same way.
Athletic Bilbao's midfield is not easy to penetrate, Real Madrid began to frequently go to the wing and rib area, using their own technical advantages to penetrate and advance in the counterattack.
However, in the first half, the follow-up goal luck of both teams was a bit poor, and Real Madrid also entered the intermission with a one-goal lead.
At the beginning of the second half, Mourinho replaced Khedira with Di Maria, and Real Madrid also changed the offensive mode to fly on both wings.
Athletic Bilbao finally couldn't hold it anymore.
In less than 10 minutes from the start of the second half, Ottner was almost blown out one-on-one by the energetic Di Maria!
Real Madrid broke through with a point, forcing Athletic Bilbao to mobilize their defensive forces to lean to the left of the formation.
So Ronaldo, who had been targeted on their right, suddenly became active as if breaking through the shackles.
This really killed Athletic Bilbao.
In the 603rd minute of the second half, after Ronaldo received Benzema's return ball and scored another goal with an unreasonable volley from outside the penalty area, there was basically no suspense in this game.
Real Madrid finally defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-0 at home, did not give the opponent an away goal, and almost entered the final semi-finals of this season's Copa del Rey with half a foot.
On the other side, Barcelona, which has recovered rapidly, also beat Mallorca 5-1 in the first round, and the second round was much easier than Real Madrid.
Because the two teams were assigned to different half-zones in the draw for the top 32 of the Copa del Rey this year, there is no need to worry about encountering each other before the final.
If there is no accident, this year's Copa del Rey final will be the same as last season, and it will be a battle between the two teams of Real Madrid.
But La Liga fans are gradually getting used to it.
In the past two seasons, the increase in combat effectiveness of the two teams of Real Madrid has become more and more outrageous.
It is quite easy to play against other teams in La Liga and Copa del Rey.
It is basically impossible to expect the Spaniard and Valencia to defeat Real Madrid in two upsets.
Besides, the Spanish national derby is so beautiful. The fans hope that Real Madrid and Barcelona will collide many times like last year. The more games they play, the better.
The Copa del Rey final is a good national derby, as long as the two teams play a little more unrestrainedly, and don't be flat in nine or 10 minutes like last season.
After this round of the Copa del Rey match was over, the La Liga battle kicked off again.
Due to the breakdown of labor negotiations at the beginning of the season, the first round of La Liga was postponed at that time, and it was delayed until this time to complete the make-up match.
Correspondingly, time was taken up by the make-up match of the first round of the league, and the No. 20 league round of La Liga could only be postponed until May.
But this is barely good news for Real Madrid.
Because they happened to play Athletic Bilbao in the first and No.20 rounds of the league.
If the No. 20 league round is followed by the first round of make-up matches, they will probably have to play four games against Athletic Bilbao in less than ten days!
Two league games, two Copa del Rey games, both teams have to shed a layer of skin after the game.
Now, the situation is a little bit better. It is better to meet three times in a short period of time than four times.
On January 1, after Real Madrid played the Copa del Rey and rested for more than three days, they once again ushered in the challenge of Athletic Bilbao at the Bernabeu.
Both Mourinho and Bielsa smiled helplessly and hugged for a while before the game.
In the game of the day, Athletic Bilbao also brought a lot of "surprises" to Real Madrid.
After Bielsa learned the lesson of the defeat in the last round of the Copa del Rey, this league directly arranged a bold starting lineup of [-].
Mourinho really didn't expect Bielsa to play this trick. Uncle Bird, who always liked to play tactical traps against others in the past, fell into a ditch today.
Because Real Madrid started the game with a four-three-three offensive formation and lacked enough midfielders, Athletic Bilbao took advantage of the number of midfielders to push them back to their own half.
Athletic Bilbao even took advantage of the situation to hold high and play high, using Martinez and Llorente's two high points in the frontcourt to continuously break through from the two wings and send crosses to break the game.
Real Madrid's players on the field were stunned by this simple and crude offensive tactic for a while.
In the No. 11 minute of the first half, Llorente used his offensive threat to attract the attention of Real Madrid's two central defenders.
Martinez seized the opportunity to catch a cross from his teammate and return it with a header.
Suzaeta, the second striker who was almost locked by Alonso in the last round of the Copa del Rey, and who did nothing throughout the game, calmly stopped the ball at this moment and then pushed to the far corner of the goal.
Casillas' line of sight happened to be blocked by the interference of his own players. When he saw the football rolling towards the far corner of the goal, it was too late to react and make a save!
The players of Athletic Bilbao went crazy when they saw the football hit the net!
The same is true for their fans, celebrating wildly at the Bernabeu!
All the commentators did not expect this to happen, and the Real Madrid fans couldn't believe it.
They actually lost the ball by the opponent's random bombardment in the opening stage?
Casillas shook his head helplessly with his hips on his hips. He could neither blame himself nor his teammates for the ball.
Both Pepe and Ramos divided labor and cooperated in their respective positions. They not only restricted the most threatening Llorente, but also forced Martinez to not directly head the goal.
But who knew that a Suzaeta would stand up and score a goal without hesitation at this time?
Li Ang didn't have time to shout to remind his teammates to cheer up, he immediately looked to the sidelines.
Mourinho shook his head at him, and quietly made a tactical gesture to continue attacking.
Li Ang was a little puzzled at first, but when the game resumed, he saw that Athletic Bilbao still wanted to fight against Real Madrid and not retreat, and he understood:
Bielsa's game should be to use his own tactical philosophy to fight Real Madrid.
In the last round of the Copa del Rey, he wanted to defend, but in the end he failed to defend anything, so he does not want to defend this round of the league.
Mourinho should have seen Bielsa's tactical intentions, so he just made a gesture to himself not to mess up and continue to attack.
After all, Athletic Bilbao is playing a three-back system today, and the midfielder has a numerical advantage, but once Real Madrid breaks through the center line defense, the defense will be wide open.
Mourinho is confident that he can suppress Athletic Bilbao in the subsequent confrontation, and Li Ang has no doubts when he sees this.
Alonso also quickly understood Mourinho's intentions, and quickly sorted out the offensive line after re-kick-off, providing teammates on both wings with a steady stream of advancing ball rights.
Li Ang began to get in frequently, and Granero, who started today, also pressed on the center line.
With their forward pressure support, Real Madrid's counterattack quickly achieved good results.
But today the players of Athletic Bilbao are very active in running.
Their five midfielders seem to be playing the set of total attack and total defense. They have the opportunity to press forward together, and they are also quite active in retreating and pressing after being intercepted.
In this situation, Higuain, who started the game, did not retreat and pull out of the penalty area to help the wingers on both wings share the pressure of attacking with the ball.
On the contrary, he was firmly nailed in the penalty area of Athletic Bilbao, as if he wanted to use his ability to grab points to help Real Madrid score early to equalize the score.
It's a pity that he nailed it for almost 10 minutes, and he didn't see a few decent shots.
DeMarcos is too good at pestering him on the ground.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria played a high ball. In front of the 1.9-meter-two Amorebeta, Higuain didn't have much room to play.
The organizational rhythm of the offense is still stable. Real Madrid also got a lot of opportunities in the half of Athletic Bilbao, but in the important part of the end, today's Real Madrid is chaotic.
Higuain did not let the position in the middle of the penalty area, and did not help to open the defensive players. Neither Ronaldo nor Di Maria had many good opportunities to cut in.
Mourinho saw it clearly off the field, and he gave Higuain half an hour.
For half an hour, after seeing that Higuain still didn't have half of his inner consciousness, Mourinho decided to let his brain clear up.
"Oh! Substitution! Mourinho asked for a substitution, and Benzema stood on the sidelines. Is this to replace Higuain?"
Today, Xu Yang, who partnered with He Wei again to commentate the game, shouted first.
He Wei also heaved a sigh of relief.
"Finally, Higuain was replaced. Today he has a problem with his mind. He must be calmed down!"
Of course, He Wei didn't dare to say this in his heart during the live broadcast.
Seeing Higuain's depressed face, he still spoke a few words for him, guessing that Higuain might have a problem with his state today.
However, after Benzema came on the field and improved Real Madrid's offensive shooting efficiency in a short period of time, He Wei also kept silent and stopped talking about Higuain's status.
Guo Feng has already proved it well with his actions. Is this a matter of mentality and self-positioning?
That is to say, there is not much time left for Real Madrid in the first half, otherwise Ronaldo might really be able to score an equalizing goal with the help of Benzema.
Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid lost their physical fitness very quickly after playing a half-court total defense.
But at the beginning of the second half, they still tried to grab the start and disrupted Real Madrid's offensive rhythm.
Six, 57 minutes later, the Basque Lion, who was a little bit impatient, slowly withdrew his sharp claws and fangs.
Bielsa looked at the exhausted state of his disciples at the moment, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to shrink the half-court defense for a while before talking.
Real Madrid was waiting for this opportunity, and Li Ang teamed up with Granero to quickly seize control of the arc top area of the middle circle.
Suzaeta, the goal hero of Llorente and Athletic Bilbao, will also withdraw to the center line to interfere with Real Madrid's offensive organization.
However, their defensive strength was only an interference effect. Real Madrid pressed forward aggressively and launched a fierce offensive amidst the loud cheers of the fans at the scene.
Athletic Bilbao put on a defensive posture of three midfielders, Martinez, San Jose, and Iturraspe all defended in front of their own big penalty area.
Herrera and Muniain played the role of wing backs on the sidelines.
Real Madrid tried to use the penetrating attack method and played for another 10 minutes. Seeing that the effect was not good, Ronaldo and Di Maria, two long-range shooters, began to use their personal abilities to sway the angle and frequently fired from outside the penalty area.
Mourinho also replaced Granero with Essien in the No. 608 minute, which further strengthened the threat of Real Madrid's heavy bombardment outside the penalty area.
In the 705th minute of the second half, Li Ang gave Essien a ball supporter, helping him complete his first long-range shot after playing at a position about 33 meters away from the goal.
Elisos didn't dare to be careless, and directly blocked Essien's heavy bombardment from the bottom line.
Seeing that they got a corner kick, the header players in the Real Madrid team rushed forward and plunged into the penalty area of Athletic Bilbao.
Now it's the turn of Athletic Bilbao fans to worry.
10 minutes ago, Real Madrid almost took advantage of a corner kick to score.
At that time, Pepe shook his head to attack the goal at a slightly higher angle, and finally flew towards the stands by rubbing the beam.
So this time Pepe and Ramos rushed into the penalty area again, and the defensive players of Athletic Bilbao greeted each other as if they were facing a big enemy and took defensive targets.
But there are still too many people that Real Madrid needs to target.
Two central defender brothers, Li Ang, Benzema, Ronaldo.
Athletic Bilbao has only three header high points anyway, and two Real Madrid headers have to be missed in one-on-one.
Li Ang will be standing next to De Marcos now, and Martinez will ignore Ronaldo when he sees Ronaldo.
Di Maria raised his left arm high in the corner flag area, and then sent a low-altitude flying arc to the front of Athletic Bilbao's penalty area with a run-up!
Playing in the middle of the penalty area and the back point with a large number of people, Real Madrid's players may not be able to grab a point, so it is reasonable for Di Maria to choose to send a free throw that falls to the front point.
Seeing that the football could not fly, Li Ang immediately moved to the outside of the penalty area.
Ramos from the previous point will overwhelm Herrera and complete a header like looking back at the moon.
In the middle of Athletic Bilbao's penalty area, Benzema, who was rushing forward, could not get rid of Amorebetta's marking. Bilbao's goalkeeper Elisos punched the ball out of the penalty area decisively.
This will cause chaos in Biba's penalty area, and Essien, who is at the top of the arc in the penalty area, is stuck in his position.
After observing for a while, he resisted Muniain's defensive interference, stopped the ball with his chest, and then used the arch of his feet to drive the ball to the right edge of the penalty area.
Li Ang, who had not been noticed before, easily stopped the ball on the right side of Biba's big penalty area.
He adjusted his step and seemed to complete the volley. This scene reminded many Athletic Bilbao players.
In the previous game against Real Sociedad, Li Ang seemed to have played a world wave!
De Marcos jumped out to make a defensive interception, and Martinez was also ready to fly to block the eye-catching.
But none of them thought that Li Ang just feinted his shot!
As Li Ang's rear-swinging calf quickly fell, the football was also passed out by him, and flew straight to the back point on the other side of Biba's penalty area!
"Li Ang shoots a fake shot! Click later!"
He Wei couldn't help roaring angrily, and at the moment where the football landed, Ronaldo also tried his best to break away from San Jose's entanglement with him!
Before Amorebieta was in place to defend, Ronaldo leaped high, stretched out his posture and powerfully pushed the football towards the middle of the goal!
Elisos's instantaneous judgment was the far corner, so he could only watch the football fly into the goal he was guarding in the end!
No. 707 minutes in the second half!
Li Ang assisted Ronaldo to finish the goal against Athletic Bilbao with difficulty and successfully tied the score at 1-1!
In the Bernabéu stadium where terrifying cheers erupted like a volcanic eruption.
Both Ronaldo and Li Ang resisted the urge to celebrate.
One of them rushed into the net to get the ball, and the other waved his arms and roared, signaling his teammates to follow him and return to the half court to wait for Biba's players to kick off again!
Mourinho also roared and punched hard at this moment!
After venting his excitement, he quickly lit Callejon again.
So before the game restarted, Real Madrid quickly completed the last substitution adjustment.
Callejon replaced Abeloa, the classic striker for guard!
Obviously, Mourinho wanted to seize the time to fight for a lead at the last moment!
Bielsa looked at the situation of being equalized by Real Madrid at the last moment. He couldn't attack even if he wanted to. He could only wave his hand and replace defenders Eguiza, Koykili and midfielder Inigo Perez. superior.
"They are scared! They want to defend! We must improve our offensive efficiency!"
When Li Ang saw the substitution of Athletic Bilbao, he turned his head and applauded loudly to remind his teammates.
The whole Real Madrid team didn't waste time either, and since the restart of the game, they have actively carried out a comprehensive press against Athletic Bilbao.
Immediately after grabbing the ball, go into the attack. If the ball is cut off, then actively counter-grab it on the spot.
This momentum made the Real Madrid fans at the scene restless, and they booed strongly at the defending Athletic Bilbao players.
But this will make the Biba team not care so much.
They just want to keep this hard-won point.
Lying on the grass, fouling, protecting the ball and delaying time.
It can be said that Biba used all the tricks to delay the time. The Real Madrid fans who watched a lot of TV were angry and anxious.
Li Ang forced himself to calm down.
The teammates in front of this meeting have to rely on him and Brother Long to organize the offensive line, so everyone can be anxious, but he and Brother Long must not be anxious.
"My advantage, my superior physical fitness!"
After a quick thought, Li Ang made a bold decision.
After receiving a pass back from Callejón after he failed to break through, Li Ang observed it and began to slowly dribble the ball forward.
Ituraspe, sweating profusely, stepped forward to suppress Li Ang's dribbling space. In the next moment, Li Ang decisively walked the ball to the side!
He wants to eat Ituraspe by force!
If such a decision were made at the opening stage of the game, Uncle Bird would definitely scold him if he dared to do so.
But this will see Li Ang squeeze his physical fitness to surpass Iturraspe bit by bit, Mourinho has no idea of blaming people at all, he only hopes that Li Ang can have more energy to rush forward!
All the Real Madrid fans also looked nervously at the two figures sprinting on the right side of Biba at this moment.
Ituraspe couldn't stand it anymore, he didn't even dare to take a big breath, for fear that he would be discouraged when he opened his mouth.
So he chose to reach out, and he wanted to use a foul to stop Li Ang's sudden advance.
It's a pity that his decision was a bit late.
The moment Li Ang chose to stretch out his hand, he led the ball and cut inside again!
It's not a fancy dribbling move, it's just a simple inward cut with the ball.
Li Ang's dribbling skills did not support him to play any delicate little technical changes, but such a simple and direct dribbling move boosted the confidence of the Real Madrid fans on the spot at this moment!
"Come on! Little lion, keep going!"
Shouts full of hope sounded in the stadium.
The Real Madrid fans watched the figure who continued to squeeze his physical fitness rampage in Biba's half.
He escaped Muniain's pull and successfully entered Athletic Bilbao's defensive third area. He faced Harvey Martinez!
"I'm definitely in a mess right now."
Under the intense and frequent breathing, Li Ang still had time to think about his current appearance.
Dirty jersey, sweat and grass clippings all over his face, and wet mid-length hair, apart from his face, he has nothing to do with being handsome now.
But even in this embarrassment, he still won the bet, at least half of it!
His greater physical fitness is his biggest advantage at the moment.
Run faster, run longer, and he will be able to create the last chance for Real Madrid!
Faced with Martinez, Li Ang didn't have much confidence in his heart, but he continued to charge forward with the ball.
In the final moments of the game, football has completely become a game for the brave and the strong.
Martinez was also brave. He stepped forward with firm steps and met the slightly embarrassed figure holding the ball.
The two once again had a fierce confrontation in a quick stagger.
Li Ang exerted the last wave of physical energy that could erupt, protecting the ball and moving forward with difficulty by Martinez's side!
He saw Martinez's determined eyes, and felt the huge pulling power transmitted to him by Martinez's suddenly bulging arms!
"Am I going to fall?"
Li Ang flashed such a thought in a trance.
He didn't want to fall, and he wanted to go forward and make a final effort, but Martinez pulled him with all his strength at the last moment and he couldn't carry it anymore.
However, at the last moment when he glanced at the front court from the corner of his eye, a resolute forward figure shook his mind!
At this moment when the temporary clarity is restored, it is also the moment when he falls to the ground.
Li Ang tried his best, stretched the arch of his feet as much as possible, and pushed the football to the direction that the forward figure was heading for!
The next moment, the moment his body touched the turf, Li Ang let out a muffled snort.
This wave of forward thrusts forced by gritted teeth made him almost exhausted. Even if he could run again later, he would have to rest for at least a minute or two.
Turning over with difficulty, Li Ang gritted his teeth and supported the turf with his hands, and then slowly stood up.
In the next moment, deafening and crazy cheers erupted from the scene!
At the moment when this terrifying sound wave swept him away, Li Ang didn't even have time to look back to see what happened, but was hugged tightly by Brother Long who rushed to the front with a ferocious face!
"We... scored a goal?!"
Brother Long's roar was drowned out by the huge sound waves, and Li Ang couldn't hear what he said excitedly.
I could only ask anxiously.
Essien and Callejon came back, and they also embraced Li Ang tightly with excitement and ecstasy on their faces!
Now Li Ang has no doubts.
Because when he switched his gaze, he had already seen the scene he wanted to see the most.
At the Bernabeu, the Real Madrid fans were jumping and screaming passionately!
Li Ang saw all the teammates who had rushed out of the bench on the sidelines. Of course, the familiar figure who took the lead and ran wildly on the sidelines was indispensable!
He opened his hands and hugged the three of them tightly behind his back, allowing them to prop him up and keep jumping excitedly on the spot.
Slowly, Li Anggao raised his arm after recovering some physical strength!
He Wei, who had already shouted and celebrated Ronaldo's winning goal, saw the scene of Li Ang raising his arms high, another burst of passion!
"This is Li Ang! The resolute Li Ang! The Li Ang who firmly held the last hope of Real Madrid!!!
If Li Ang does not exhaust himself, the winning streak will not end!
hala madrid! ! ! "
