Football: Stealing talent endlessly starting from Real Madrid!

However, the youth training system of this team is still excellent enough.

Just like Herrera, who is now playing for Manchester United, is an excellent player from Athletic Bilbao.

But the cohesion within this team is quite good.

At the same time, the style is also quite strong and tenacious.

At this time, the head coach of Athletic Bilbao is Ernesto Valverde.

This person is also a famous player of Athletic Bilbao.

Previously, he served as the head coach of Athletic Bilbao in 2003, but after coaching for three seasons, he jumped to Real Espanyol.

Now he has returned to Athletic Bilbao again.

He has a good reputation in the coaching world and is considered a talented young coach.

The Dutch football godfather Johan Cruyff once commented on Valverde that if he was a fan, he would go to the stadium to watch every game, because the team coached by Valverde has always played very smooth football, they are always on the offensive, and they are also one of the most promising coaches on the planet.

It is said that Barcelona has also considered Valverde and is currently investigating him. So before the game started, Zidane had a very serious talk with the team's important players about today's game with Athletic Bilbao.

Zidane said that although Athletic Bilbao is just a mid-level team in the Spanish La Liga with limited strength, the players still need to cheer up in this game.

Otherwise, there will be a downturn and the leading position in the league may be lost. After all, Real Madrid is only one point ahead of Barcelona, ​​the second place.

The two teams are very close.

Li Chu is not particularly familiar with many cultures of La Liga. After all, this is only the second season since Li Chu landed in La Liga.

Because Li Chu did not play a complete game last year, he did not meet Athletic Bilbao. Now I heard that Athletic Bilbao is actually a team composed of Basque people, and I can't help but feel quite curious.

"I understand the reason, but why is there a black man in this team? Is he also from the Basque nation?"

Ramos, who is well aware of all the strange things in the La Liga, responded to Li Chu:

"You mean Inaki Williams? It can be said that he is half Basque. Although his father and mother are African, he was born in Bilbao. For Athletic Bilbao, those who are born in the Basque region or are descendants of the Basque nation can join their team."

"Okay."

Li Chu understood a little, but what Zidane said just now did not seem to get too much attention from the players. After all, Athletic Bilbao just lost to Barcelona 2:5 at home not long ago.

Real Madrid players think that Barcelona can actually win away with a big score, why can't they?

This game was held at the new San Mames Stadium, the home of Athletic Bilbao.

The players walked into the stadium one after another, and the head coaches of the two teams also stood on the sidelines at this moment.

On the Real Madrid side, Zidane's bald head is shiny and glossy.

On the Athletic Bilbao side, Valverde looks quite elegant and graceful in a black suit and white shirt.

Real Madrid also fielded the strongest lineup in this game.

It was adjusted from the previous game, except that Varane replaced Coentrao. The other positions are completely the same as the previous few games.

Currently, Bale is also reaping the benefits after Li Chu officially became a main player. Because Li Chu's through balls and over-the-top balls can perfectly match Bale's lightning speed.

Currently, Bale has also scored six goals and seven assists.

The BBC combination is also a frightening thing for the entire European defense line at this time.

Today, the goalkeeper of the Athletic Bilbao team is Iraizos.

The defenders are Labbert, Excelta, Barencia and San Jose.

Among them, San Jose is the captain of the Athletic Bilbao team. He is a central defender and is 1.88 meters tall. However, his partner Valenzia is a defender who is only 1.79 meters tall and weighs only 74kg.

However, this combination of one tall and one fast has performed well in the league. Although they were beaten by Barcelona, ​​they are still very powerful in other games.

Due to San Jose's high height and good confrontation ability, Real Madrid will encounter some troubles in grabbing points after passing.

In the midfield, Athletic Bilbao sent out a three-midfield formation with Lopez, Suaita and Rico as double defensive midfielders. In the forward position, there are also three forwards, the 33-year-old veteranAduriz was at the front.

Muniain and De Marcos were on the left and right sides.

In fact, Li Chu also did some research on Athletic Bilbao before the game and knew that this team, under the leadership of the current head coach Valverde, was completely different from the Atletico Madrid team that played against them a while ago.

Valverde, known as a Confucian coach, likes to attack very much and advocates offensive football. He thinks that the best defense is offense, and the best defense is for the opposing team to hold the ball.

In this way, the opponent's ball holding time will be greatly shortened. Naturally, the offense will also be greatly reduced, so the defense will naturally improve this idea. It also coincides with Barcelona.

Naturally, it was also praised by Cruyff.

Of course, due to the strength of Athletic Bilbao, Valverde is currently leading this Athletic Bilbao team to relegation without worry, but it is also difficult to enter the European war.

This is why the players of Real Madrid think that Zidane made a fuss before the game to cheer everyone up, after all, this is a weak team.

Especially compared with the Galacticos like Real Madrid.

"I'm dressed well today, you can pass the ball to me more often."

When Ramos and the captain of the opposing team, San Jose, exchanged team flags to choose who would kick off first, Ronaldo found Li Chu and whispered to him.

However, considering that there were many cameras on the court facing him, he also covered his mouth.

"Okay."

Li Chu agreed calmly.

He also knew that he had passed the ball to Bale recently, more than to Ronaldo and Benzema combined.

Although Bale also assisted Benzema and Ronaldo a lot, with Ronaldo's competitive spirit, he still hoped to advance with the ball, then shake off the defense and shoot violently.

Instead of waiting in the penalty area to eat cakes.

At present, Li Chu has mastered the use of the big arc through training.

Whether it is shooting or passing, it can be used freely.

Therefore, who to pass to depends on who can run out of opportunities.
