Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"Isn't the word "respect" in your dictionary? You are now mocking the strongest team in Europe that has won three La Liga titles and two European championships in the past three seasons!"

"You start to feel complacent when you lead for half a season. That's how Madridistas are. There are still fourteen rounds left in the league. You'd better pray that Real Madrid never loses its grip!"

"It's the end of our run to the semi-finals of the Champions League, because we will defeat you head-on again!"

"It's all a draw, but we drew with Atletico Madrid and you drew with Racing Santander, shame on you!"

Barcelona fans who were angered by Li Ang's success began to leave comments and abuse under his tweets.

However, Real Madrid fans are not vegetarians, and soon launched a comprehensive counterattack to help Li Ang "clean" the message board.

Li Ang was speechless when he read the comments under his personal tweet the next morning.

At first, when he said "Don't panic", he was trying to appease his fans and had no intention of provoking Barcelona.

His original intention was to say that Real Madrid's lead is large enough and the room for error is large enough. It is not a big problem to tie a game or even lose a game occasionally.

After the game, review the game to get rid of some impetuous emotions, regain your mood and move forward steadily.

As a result, some of Barcelona's extreme fans went to his tweet to ridicule him for being wild.

To be fair, Li Ang's follow-up message "Don't panic, Barcelona will send it to you." Isn't it too much?

This is just a normal counterattack. He is a football player, not an entertainment star who relies on traffic.

When others criticize him for no reason, he certainly has the right to fight back.

He just didn't expect that Barcelona fans would intensify their verbal attacks on him.

It turns out that trying to reason with a large and mixed fan base is completely unworkable.

So he showed his cards, he was very familiar with using magic to counter magic.

"Yes, Barcelona is the strongest team in Europe in the past three years. Especially when I watched Barcelona win two Champions Leagues with my own eyes, I was so envious! After all, our Real Madrid is just a small club that has won nine Champions Leagues. There is no way Compared to a big club like Barcelona.”

"I should really respect Barcelona more, so let's double play in the league this season. How can I show my full respect if I don't double play Barcelona?"

"I don't know if Real Madrid will continue to lose, but Barcelona will probably continue to lose. After all, six draws and two losses is a record that a team competing for the La Liga title can achieve? Oh, I'm sorry, it's seven draws now. "

"Why can't those who win be proud? Do we still cry after winning the head-to-head duel and ranking? I'm sorry, I can't do it."

Li Ang's counterattack message immediately exploded public opinion!

Real Madrid fans couldn't be happier to see Li Ang's heart-wrenching and sharp message.

And Real Madrid's internal player exchange group became even more excited with Li Ang's crazy speech!

Aveiroa——[Damn! Little Lion, you said it so well! We should be proud that we won! Why can't you be proud? What did Pique do last season that these Barcelona fans have selectively forgotten? 】

Pepe - [The little lion is worthy of being a cultural person, haha, I think those Barcelona fans were very angry, and they counterattacked with sharp words! 】

Cristiano Ronaldo——[Cool, remember to take me with you next time. 】

Marcelo - [I have recorded these remarks of the little lion. If a Barcelona fan leaves me a message next time to show off their Champions League championship, I will use these words to respond to him, haha! 】

Casillas - [Yes, we should fight back, but the words can be a little gentler. 】

Ramos - [See you tomorrow brother, I will give you a big hug, well done! 】

Varane - [Should I report this to the boss? 】

Li Ang was still happy when he saw the speeches of his teammates in front of him, but Varane, the academic tycoon, immediately slapped his forehead.

He should briefly talk to Mourinho about this matter. After all, when the club holds a pre-match press conference later, reporters will definitely ask Mourinho related topics.

The club may also have public relations measures by then.

Thinking of this, Li Ang directly called Mourinho.

As a result, Mourinho teased him after he answered the phone.

"Why, you've finished talking about it, and now you know you're panicking?"

"Ah? I'm not panicking, I just think I should briefly explain the situation to you."

"It's a small matter, but you're still smart. You didn't insult the fans by name, let alone the Barcelona players. They couldn't use this matter to make a big deal out of it."

"Okay, that's fine."

"Jorge should be calling you soon, be ready to answer."

"ah?"

Before Li Ang could react, Uncle Psy had already hung up the phone.

Five or six minutes later, Mendes actually called Li Ang to inquire about the situation.

"Causes and consequences? Okay, that's probably it."

Li Ang explained the cause of the matter and his thoughts. After hearing this, Mendes just asked Li Ang not to discuss this topic with reporters in the near future.

Then, nothing more.

Li Ang held the cell phone that was hung up on once again. He estimated that Mendes would handle the matter with Real Madrid's public relations department, so he drove to the base for additional training without much thought.

This is when the benefits of having a reliable agent come to light.

At least in terms of public opinion, if the players themselves have not done anything outrageous, they don't have to worry too much about their reputation being biased by media reports.

In the afternoon, when Li Ang finished his extra training and was about to drive home, he had already seen the favorable public opinion guidance on the Internet.

The pro-Real Madrid media focused on promoting that Li Ang was fighting back for Real Madrid.

Newspapers that have a better relationship with Mendes praised Li Ang for protecting Real Madrid fans, and repeatedly pointed out that it was Barcelona fans who started the public opinion war for no reason.

After the two sets of combined punches, the pro-Barcelona media could only criticize Li Ang for "disrespecting" Barcelona's speech.

But to be honest, a player who came from Real Madrid's youth training is still the main force of Real Madrid's first team. Why should he show respect to Barcelona?

Are you waiting to be scolded by Real Madrid's own fans?

Or are you waiting for opportunities to switch to Barcelona later?

Li Ang doesn't want to get involved in either of these aspects. The examples of Enrique and Figo are before them. After retiring, they can't escape being criticized by fans and the media again and again.

Therefore, he now has no interest in refuting the statements of the pro-Barcelona media.

Call him a Madridist or an anti-Barcelona, ​​whatever they say.

To put it bluntly, as long as he does not join Barcelona in the future, the perception of Barcelona fans towards him will not harm his interests at all.

He still understands where the fundamentals are and how to maintain and operate them.

As the storm subsided, Li Ang's popularity among Real Madrid fans grew even higher.

But what he didn't expect was that many neutral fans also came to follow his personal social account during this public opinion war.

"Do they like sharp-tongued players with bad mouths?"

Li Ang himself couldn't help but complain.

If this is the case, then these fans who follow him may regret it before long.

Just like he is generally not dirty on the court, but when he is dirty, even "Beautiful Age" Costa can't stand it.

The sharpness of his words is usually not shown to the outside world. Well, he considers himself to be a civilized player who is elegant, easy-going and civilized.

It's okay to be weird every now and then, but if he has to work hard every day, he can't do it.

Li Ang, who has always had a Buddhist attitude towards fans, did not put too much thought into the surge in the number of fans.

He took advantage of the rare downtime after the last round of the league to work on his long-pass ability.

He doesn't know why, but he feels that long passes are much more difficult than when he practiced short passes and ball control.

For example, if you open the liver from an ability value of 70, you can rise to the small threshold of 80 ability values.

Short passes and ball control are much faster than long passes.

Li Ang has been focusing on long passes since the offseason before the start of this season. As a result, his ability value increased from 72 to 79, which took him most of the season.

This is much slower than the speed at which he originally improved his ability to pass short passes.

Fortunately, Li Ang is not in a hurry. Recently, he feels that his control of long passing skills has reached a threshold.

Perhaps after crossing this threshold, his long passing ability value can successfully break through to 80, and then there will be another golden training period for data growth.

This is all the experience Li Ang has summed up before.

"Maybe next game, maybe the next game, I will get a chance to break through in the game. Training is very important, but I still have to find more opportunities to try in the game."

After the training session on the afternoon of March 3, Li Ang thought about the feeling of practicing long passes with Brother Long just now, and suddenly a premonition came into his heart.

If he tries to find more opportunities to send long passes in subsequent games, he may be able to successfully open the door to the 80 ability value of long passes.

And Alonso, who was standing quietly watching Li Ang brooding, was also smiling.

He could sense Li Ang's solid progress in various technologies during this period.

Of course, long passes, as Li Ang's current main technical shortcoming, are definitely the part that Alonso is most concerned about.

Brother Long couldn't see the various ability value panels on Li Ang, but he could feel the subtle changes in Li Ang's long passing skills.

If we say that Li Ang's previous long passes were almost imitating his pursuit of smoothness and speed, they had the appearance but no precise landing point.

So now, Li Ang's long passes have begun to improve accuracy on the basis of speed.

Brother Long believes that this is the most appropriate way to describe Li Ang's progress.

And when Li Ang further improves his long-passing skills, he can accurately grasp when to pass the ball forward and when to pass the ball back, and he can pass it without too much deviation.

Then Li Ang will be able to successfully start his career. What he needs to do next is to further hone and improve his skills in a large number of continuous competitions.

After all, in terms of overall physical talent, Brother Long always believed that Li Ang was far better than him.

The two may be about the same in head-to-head confrontation and physical fitness, but Li Ang's flexibility, balance, speed and jumping are all stronger.

Thinking of this, Brother Long couldn't help but pat Li Ang's shoulder and back with relief.

"Perform your best in the next game. Try more when you have the chance. Don't be restrained. You will try to do the same in future games. If you don't apply what you learn, how can you make it your own?"

Li Ang came back to his senses, looked at Brother Long's encouraging eyes towards him, and smiled and nodded vigorously.

On the evening of March 4th, Real Madrid ushered in the 26th round of La Liga with Espanyol at home.

This is a game that is destined to be more "good-looking".

Espanyol are currently ranked tenth in La Liga, with no pressure to avoid relegation, and their young coach Mauricio Pochettino advocates offensive football.

As soon as these two characteristics were revealed, coupled with the always good relationship between Real Madrid and the Spaniard, Mourinho immediately decided to fight a battle with his opponent.

So under the premise that both sides have set up a starting lineup of four, three, and three, this round of La Liga has attracted the attention of a huge number of fans both in Spain and overseas.

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, Higuain and Callejon form an offensive trident.

In the midfield, Alonso stayed behind and served as a single defensive midfielder. Today, Liang and Di Maria were on both sides of the midfield.

In the defense, except for Nacho who continues to start the game in place of the injured Arbeloa, the rest of the starting candidates are still the same.

If Marcelo starts instead of Coentrao, then the offensive attributes of this formation will be basically full.

However, Mourinho finally chose to play it safe.

With Di Maria providing offensive support to Ronaldo in the left midfield, Real Madrid's firepower on the left will not be weak.

Coentrao felt more at ease that he was responsible for the defense at this time.

Although the Spaniard's forwards basically cannot threaten Real Madrid's defense, what if it happens?

Before the game started, Li Ang looked at the young Coutinho, who was not far away from him, and smiled subconsciously.

But Coutinho, who was peeking at Li Ang at the moment, felt his heart tighten when he saw his smile.

I don’t know which media made the rumor before, saying that Li Ang likes to smile at the opponent Mourinho asked him to lock down before the game.

Coutinho, who is not yet twenty years old now, has fluffy mid-length hair and looks quite honest.

It seemed like he believed what the media said.

So when the Spaniard made his first attack attempt and midfielder Romaric passed the ball to Coutinho, the kid was really nervous.

He played as a left winger today, and Li Ang happened to play as a right midfielder. The matchup was solid.

Li Ang looked at the young Kuniao opposite him, whose eyes were a little wandering, and felt quite strange.

"Dude, do you look so scary?"

After muttering something, Li Ang's movements were not slow at all.

Just like he had previously "educated" those young players born in the 1990s, Li Ang taught Coutinho a good lesson in the first matchup.

First block the position to block Coutinho's possibility of walking to the sideline to hit the ball, and then bully him to press and fight.

Li Ang used two defensive skills to make Pengpengtou Kuniao feel the strong pressure.

He wanted to turn around to protect the ball and pass it back, but Li Ang, who was already entangled, would not give him a chance.

After pushing the ball away from Ku Niao's feet, Li Ang forcefully pushed Ku Niao away and blocked him behind him.

After grabbing the ball neatly, Li Ang took the ball two steps, and then boldly sent the first diagonal long pass in the opening stage!

"Li Ang made a long pass very simply! Higuain retreated outside the penalty area to make a header!"

He Wei did not expect that Li Ang would grab a good offensive opportunity at the beginning of the game.

The moment Higuain completed his header, He Wei was even ready to cheer for Ronaldo as he broke into the penalty area and scored.

Unfortunately, Spanish central defender Rodriguez pushed the ball back to the midfield first.

Ronaldo was a little annoyed that he failed to get the ball in the end, but after being annoyed, he quickly gave a thumbs up to Higuain and Li Ang who sent the long pass.

Mourinho looked at Li Ang with some surprise, who had retreated to defend.

"Why is Li Ang so active today? This long pass is good."

"It's rare for this kid to be so proactive in attacking at the beginning. Let him try more today?"

Mourinho didn't have any objections when he heard Karanka's proposal.

"Let's score the first goal. Once we have a one-goal lead, let this kid try more."

Mourinho made a decision, but he did not expect that the first goal would come so quickly.

After Real Madrid and the Spaniard each had several offensive attempts, just into the seventh minute of the first half, Di Maria advanced in the middle to break the Spaniard's defensive deployment.

After passing the two men, Angel saw that the Spanish defenders were double-teaming him, and quickly passed the ball across to Li Ang who was following up.

Li Ang did not delay, and passed the ball through the ball to Callejon, who cut in and ran on the right side of the Spaniard's penalty area.

Callejon took the ball and inserted it into the Spaniard's penalty area in two steps. After a moment of observation, he directly sent a low pass!

The football "cut" through the penalty area from right to left like a sharp blade without any hindrance.

Higuain did not grab the ball, but Ronaldo, who was at high speed at the back of the goal, made it in one fell swoop, almost blocking the ball into the goal guarded by Casilla!

The Bernabeu scene burst into cheers because Ronaldo opened the scoring again, and Mourinho and Karanka also looked at each other and smiled and released tactical authority to Li Ang.

Now with the double encouragement and delegation of authority from Brother Long and the coach, Li Ang had no reason to hesitate and directly took over the task of dispatching long passes.

Compared with Brother Long, Li Ang's current level of long passes is definitely much worse, but it is not to the point where it is difficult for his teammates to pass.

His field of vision is quite broad, and he made several long passes at the right time, and several offensive players in the frontcourt just ran and got them.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Callejon passed the ball back after an attack was blocked. Di Maria made a transition and then knocked the ball across to Li Ang.

At the moment when the Spaniard's midfielders Forlin and Romanik subconsciously pressed forward, Li Ang knocked the ball, then adjusted his position and decisively sent a long diagonal pass with his left foot!

In the hinterland of the Spaniard's half, Ronaldo started to advance at high speed one step ahead!

In that fleeting moment of judgment, the linesman did not raise the flag for offside.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who had already moved forward midway, controlling the ball in front of him, did not give Casilla much time to react.

His left leg swung back quickly and slightly, but finally exploded with strong shooting power, volleying the football arrogantly into the far corner of the goal!

Casilla reacted quickly this time and made no mistakes in his save, but his speed was still too slow!

After the clear and melodious sound of a football hitting the net, the home team fans at the Bernabeu burst into joy again!

At this time, Li Ang heard the ability upgrade prompt that he wanted to hear most, and he grinned with satisfaction.

He finally broke through the long pass threshold and initially made up for his technical shortcomings!
