Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid
Chapter 116 For this champion, there is no shortcut, only unity and sacrifice.
Duan Xuan's commentary is destined to become a classic quote that many Real Madrid fans will talk about with relish.
Perhaps a long time later, domestic Real Madrid fans will still watch today's game highlights before the important battle.
They will see Ronaldo, who made the final decision amid the cheers of the fans at the Bernabeu home stadium!
They will see Mourinho, who calmly responded to the changes in the situation and led Real Madrid to an invincible state!
They will see Pepe and Ramos, who alerted each other and blocked the Real Madrid penalty area after conceding a goal!
They will also see Li Ang, who still smiled at the starry sky of the Bernabeu at the expense of his personal data!
Bayern has paid a lot to get to this point today.
After losing the Champions League final in 2010, they once again stood one step ahead of the door to the Champions League final.
But unfortunately, they faced a Real Madrid that was no longer distracted by the schedule and had paid more hardships and sweat than them!
Whether in terms of spirit or strength, this Real Madrid has already surpassed Bayern.
When the goddess of luck also remained neutral and did not favor either side, Bayern fans could only sigh helplessly in the face of a difficult situation.
The total score has reached 5-2. If Bayern wants to play overtime with Real Madrid, they have to chase three goals in a row, and Real Madrid cannot score.
It is too difficult to do this when Muller was frozen by Li Ang and Real Madrid was still looking for counterattack opportunities.
It is difficult enough to make people despair.
However, the Bayern led by Heynckes today has a different look.
Perhaps Bayern's players have already prepared themselves mentally, as Heynckes said in the pre-match press conference.
"Bayern will throw away the psychological burden in this game and return to the game itself. We will fight for Bayern's honor and dignity!"
This makes all Bayern fans feel extremely relieved.
No matter how difficult the situation is, Bayern's players are no longer panicked.
They encouraged and warned each other, and they were not discouraged, and they still maintained high morale!
Mourinho stood on the sidelines and didn't say much.
He respected today's Bayern Munich, absolutely.
So he would not give Bayern any hope and opportunity to turn the tables.
His disciples on the field thought so too.
The more fighting spirit Bayern showed, the more tenacious their spirit, the more determined the players of Real Madrid were to kill!
In the 36th minute of the first half, Real Madrid still took the opportunity to counterattack and advance through the middle.
This time, Ronaldo became a tool to attract Bayern's defensive firepower. He was advancing from beginning to end, but he didn't get the ball.
And it was because of his forward insertion to attract defense that Essien's pass to Benzema was finally successfully passed to Di Maria's feet!
The angel who rushed into the Bayern penalty area was almost unguarded this time.
The moment he received the ball, he knocked the ball inward, and then decisively shot with his left foot to hit the upper left corner of Bayern's goal!
This is an absolute 10-point angle. Neuer did jump in the right direction, but he had no way to deal with this shot that went straight to the dead corner!
Real Madrid took the lead again in the first half and changed the score of this game to 2-1!
This is the defensive pressure that must be borne in the face of Real Madrid's excessive forward pressure.
But Bayern had no choice.
Knowing that this was a tactical trap of Real Madrid, they had to jump.
And Mourinho's clear tactical thinking was once again praised by commentators from various countries.
"I give you the opportunity to attack and even score, but don't try to stop my counterattack. Even if I score one or two fewer goals than you in this game, I will still be the final winner!
Mourinho's tactics are still as sharp as ever, and Heynckes is in a difficult situation!
There is only the last half left. Withstand the pressure of Bayern's counterattack and enter the Champions League final, Real Madrid!"
The Spanish commentator of Movistar is now clearly cheering for Real Madrid.
There is no way, who let Barcelona be upset by Chelsea last night.
Before the game, everyone was optimistic that Real Madrid and Barcelona would play a Spanish derby in the Champions League final this year, but now Real Madrid is the only one left.
Every Spanish media outlet, even those who dislike Real Madrid, will inevitably stand behind Real Madrid and cheer for them.
At the end of the first half, when Real Madrid entered the halftime break with a score of 2-1, the Spanish media had already celebrated Real Madrid's successful promotion in advance.
Mourinho didn't know about this at the moment, otherwise he would have to stand up and criticize, so that these jumping media outlets would be low-key.
The saying that the favorites must die is not only popular in the Chinese sports world, but there are also similar warning words in Europe.
Don't underestimate the pressure of public opinion. Mourinho can guarantee that he and his coaching team will not be affected by such crazy praise from the outside world.
But within the team, who can guarantee that every Real Madrid player can deeply understand the truth that "the one who laughs last is the winner"?
This is always difficult to say. Some players are self-disciplined and mature, and know what to listen to and what not to listen to.
But some players like to be treated like this. If he really gets arrogant, the coach will say a few words, and he will probably directly ignite the atmosphere in the team. If he doesn't play well, he won't let others play well.
Fortunately, in this game, Real Madrid players can't see the propaganda of outside public opinion for the time being, and their performance is still fine.
At the beginning of the second half, Bayern took the lead, and Real Madrid also withstood the defensive pressure and did not give Bayern a chance to enter the penalty area.
The blitzkrieg turned into a tug-of-war, and Bayern had to reorganize the attack.
This is an absolutely acceptable situation for Real Madrid.
After all, Bayern wasted time, and as time went by, Real Madrid's advantage became greater and greater.
In the 67th minute of the second half, Robben forced a shot inside, and the ball was saved by Casillas. Schweinsteiger, who rushed into the Real Madrid penalty area, made a supplementary shot to help Bayern get back one!
This goal gave Bayern players a lot of psychological encouragement.
But the next 15 minutes of zero shots seemed to be fate telling Bayern players that their good luck had ended here.
Seeing that there were only a little over ten minutes left in the game plus the extra time, Mourinho no longer hesitated and made substitutions.
Two up and two down, Di Maria and Benzema off, Higuain and Granero on.
Real Madrid changed their formation to 4-4-2, Granero came on and directly played as the defensive midfielder, and Li Ang still locked Muller.
Essien also retreated.
Judging from the paper alone, Mourinho directly put out four defensive midfielders!
The meaning of defending is self-evident, and Heynckes had no choice but to withdraw Kroos and replace him with Olic for a desperate fight.
But unfortunately, Bayern failed to succeed and did not even score.
2-2, this is the result of Bayern at the Bernabeu.
If this was the score of the first round, Bayern fans would definitely be very satisfied.
Unfortunately, this is already an insignificant draw.
Schweinsteiger cried, and Lahm immediately hugged him who was squatting on the ground into his arms.
Muller did not cry, although he smiled ugly when facing Li Ang's comfort, but now, he can communicate with Li Ang as if he was relieved.
"You played very well, but it would be better if you don't stick to me like this next time." Muller's complaints made Li Ang smile helplessly. "Because you are very threatening, Thomas. Our boss said that if we let you create more than two goals in this game, it would be our negligence in the tactical task. Thank God, you only scored one." "Ah, I actually think what you said makes sense. Come on, you must win the championship in the finals, so that I should feel better. I look forward to playing against you next time, Li Ang." "I also look forward to playing against you next time. Come on, German Cup!" After exchanging jerseys, Li Ang could only wish Muller and his team to win in the German Cup. Otherwise, they would be too uncomfortable this year. They won nothing in the league, domestic cup and Champions League. There is no need to think about it. The entire Bayern team will definitely be under tremendous pressure in terms of public opinion. Finally, looking at Kroos who was staring at the scoreboard on the sidelines, Li Ang hesitated for a moment, but still did not go over to talk to TK. This is not the right time, wait for the next time.
Wait for the most appropriate and correct time.
※※※
At the Bernabeu home, Mourinho did not stop the players from celebrating with the fans.
Everything must be relaxed and tense, especially in management.
Mourinho sometimes seems too strict, and his control and teaching of players seem too detailed and cumbersome.
But after achieving a certain stage of the game goal, he can also make the players feel friendly and tolerant.
This is it now.
After hugging and greeting Heynckes, Mourinho accepted Heynckes' blessing, and stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back with a kind face, quietly watching the players singing and playing on the field.
They will finish all the remaining leagues before the Champions League final.
By then, the team will have a week of full rest time to prepare for the Champions League final with Chelsea.
And after this final battle, they will usher in the King's Cup final with Barcelona.
Therefore, the schedule is not tight, and there is enough time for preparation and rest, so Mourinho will naturally not restrict the players' passion in terms of control.
Before Li Ang and his teammates cheered for a few rounds, the club staff took him to the sidelines.
And he couldn't easily refuse the interview team this time, because they were from his hometown.
Wutai did not send a commentator to the scene today, but the interview team still sent one.
The leader was He Wei.
Li Ang was very familiar with this commentator.
Although the two met for the first time in reality, Li Ang's casual attitude without any airs made the live commentary go very smoothly.
There is nothing much to say about the process.
Saying hello to the fans is naturally the first thing to do.
Secondly, express your mood at the moment and describe the difficulties of the game.
Li Ang answered all these aspects in a standard way.
This calmness and composure made countless Chinese fans in front of the TV praise him.
What is the style of a general?
Look at Li Ang's calm performance after the game, this is the true style of a great general! He Wei will definitely not ask tricky questions to his own people, and he will not say a word about sensitive domestic issues. In the end, he just asked Li Ang: "If you really win the Champions League this year with Real Madrid, then at the end of the final, Li Ang, what do you want to do most?"
Li Ang thought for a moment, and finally looked at the camera with a smile, and there seemed to be a luster in his eyes.
"First of all, I have to thank my family on the spot, because my family who supported me on the path of professional football has always been the constant motivation to support me in moving forward. Hehe, I won't talk about it for now. Then you will Got it, let me give it a try first~"
This answer was beyond He Wei's expectation, but he smiled and nodded, and ended the interview smoothly.
Afterwards, Li Ang chatted with He Wei for a few more words, and finally, amid a harmonious farewell, he quickly went to find his teammates with Muller's jersey on his back.
After taking the final lap, Real Madrid's players rushed back to the locker room to quickly wash themselves off.
Most of Real Madrid's main players will take a two-day break to relax.
But some of Real Madrid's main players need to resume training after a day's rest.
Because the next round of La Liga is coming soon.
On April 28, Real Madrid will usher in the 36th round of La Liga with Sevilla.
The competition between Ronaldo and Messi for the La Liga and European Golden Boots is still ongoing, so it is conceivable that at least Ronaldo will not choose to take a rest at such a critical moment.
Players from the first team such as Higuain, Marcelo, Li Ang, and Kaká will also start with Ronaldo, helping him go faster and further on the road to competing for the Golden Boot.
Three days later at noon, still at home at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid faced the challenge of Sevilla, currently ranked ninth in La Liga.
It cannot be said that it is as easy as playing against a relegation team, but the current Sevilla really cannot cause too much trouble to Real Madrid.
Even though Real Madrid played against them today, they used many rotation players.
In order to further strengthen the team's advantage on the offensive end, Mourinho activated Carvajal on the right, allowing him to frequently insert with Marcelo on the left to create more passing opportunities for Ronaldo.
Kakahdira started together, and the midfield defense basically relied on Leon. Callejon, the right winger, also made frequent crosses to find Ronaldo today.
This combination of nanny and bodyguard allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to score a goal in each half very smoothly.
Seeing that Ronaldo is currently five goals ahead of Messi in the La Liga scorer list, Mourinho thought that this must be safe.
So he replaced Ronaldo in the 76th minute of the second half, giving his ace player a chance to accept the applause of all Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu.
Cristiano Ronaldo feels a lot more at ease. He even feels that he can take a comfortable rest in the next round of the league and spend time with his family and lovers at home.
But after the 36th round of Barcelona's La Liga match the next day, Ronaldo's plan to take a rest was instantly canceled by himself.
Because Barcelona attacked Rayo Vallecano and scored 8-1 in one breath!
Messi scored four goals!
In the La Liga scorer list, Messi is only one goal behind Ronaldo!
This is outrageous. Cristiano Ronaldo's competitive spirit was aroused, and Mourinho had no choice. Looking at the relegation team Granada to challenge in the next round, he ruthlessly arranged a starting lineup with all the main players!
Although this is very unfriendly to Granada and can't keep the kindness, Mourinho can't do anything about it. Who made them hit the gun?
On May 5th, Real Madrid went all-out at Granada's home court and beat the relegation team 6-0, which did not go beyond the expectations of the outside media.
Cristiano Ronaldo completed a hat trick, pushing his La Liga goals this season to the 50-goal mark!
In the Barcelona derby that started at the same time, Messi also performed a hat trick, increasing his league goals this season to 49!
Two of La Liga's super attackers both had a horrific finish.
Although the goals scored by the two of them are of little value now, they can't help but score more!
Fans from other leagues may be bitter, saying that the two caught the weak teams in La Liga as a brush to score goals.
Faced with such arguments, Melo's fans were not used to it at all, and directly slapped him in the face with the number of goals they scored against the top six teams in La Liga this season.
UEFA is naturally happy to see the scene of Melo scoring goals in the final game of the league.
In addition to increasing publicity and publicity, the team also encouraged fans to guess who will be the winner of the European Golden Boot this year.
It’s true that the traffic is really messed up.
Thanks to the joint efforts of La Liga officials and UEFA officials, on May 13th, Real Madrid and Barcelona started the league at the same time and instantly attracted a huge number of fans to watch!
During the period, Real Madrid faced Mallorca, which was ranked seventh in the league, and Barcelona faced Real Betis, who was ranked 12th in the league.
If you just look at the opponent's ranking, Barcelona's game will appear easier.
But to be honest, for the two teams of Real Madrid and Barcelona, now they are playing against the teams after sixth in La Liga.
A tragedy in the final game may not be realistic, but a 3-0 or 4-0 victory is simply not too easy.
The fans' expectations were greatly satisfied from the beginning of the match between the two sides.
Because both Ronaldo and Messi scored in the first ten minutes of the game!
Messi also broke the league's 50-goal mark in a single season, and Ronaldo even raised this record to 51 goals!
But in the subsequent game time, the performance of the two superstars no longer seemed to be as explosive as before.
Because of course their opponents also know about the current heated dispute about the Golden Boot between them.
As the saying goes, if you don't fight for your reputation, the players of Real Betis and Mallorca also have dignity. How can you let Royal Sa take care of you in the final game?
I can't beat you, admit it, and admit it if you get beaten by a big score.
But I just want to restrict your ace player from scoring goals on me!
Once you score one goal, you are already at the bottom line. Want to score again? Then get ready to get fouled!
The two teams with a dignified bottom line began to fight hard. Messi and Ronaldo were double-teamed by their opponents in the rest of the game.
Other players from Real Madrid and Barcelona have a lot more offensive opportunities as a result.
Higuain scored twice in the first half, and Iniesta and Pedro from Barcelona also scored goals one after another.
No matter how the two superstars looked for offensive opportunities, their opponents would not give them the slightest chance.
In the end, Mallorca lost 1-4 at Real Madrid's home court, and Real Betis lost 2-4 at their home court.
But both teams accomplished their goals without allowing Ronaldo and Messi to score too many goals.
The moment the final whistle sounded, Ronaldo trotted towards the coaching bench.
But he was only halfway through when Mourinho smiled and opened his arms to him. Karanka and all the coaches and substitutes on the bench also applauded Ronaldo!
At this moment, Ronaldo still doesn’t understand what this means.
He turned around and ran wildly on the court, laughing, and Li Ang and Kaka, who had been prepared for a long time, teamed up to hug him tightly!
This is not only a milestone record for Ronaldo in personal scoring data, but also an honor won by the Real Madrid team!
The slogan of completely overpowering Barcelona this season is not something Real Madrid players shout out.
If the record is to overwhelm Barcelona, the performance of the ace players must be at least one!
Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo only outperforms Messi in terms of goals this season, but if you add in assists, Messi still wins.
No matter what, the data of fifty goals and nineteen assists is better than the data of fifty-one goals and fourteen assists.
However, both the La Liga Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot are judged based on the number of goals scored.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who won two forward heavyweight honors in one fell swoop, is destined to become the most dazzling super giant this season.
And currently, Ronaldo still has the opportunity to exclusively enjoy the Champions League Golden Boot.
As long as he scores another goal in the final, he will create a new Champions League single-season scoring record that belongs only to him!
This is another huge plus.
Just like Messi in the past few seasons, if he is strong, Barcelona is also strong. Barcelona's record in turn nurtures his personal data, so he cannot meet his opponents in the selection of heavyweight awards.
Well, let’s not forget about the time in 2010, it’s the same as the time when Cristiano Ronaldo won the Golden Ball in 2013 in the original timeline.
In Li Ang's heart - until now, Li Ang also believes that the Golden Globe Awards in those two years should not be given to Messi and Ronaldo.
However, UEFA would forcefully support them, and with the support of their respective reputations and team platforms, it ultimately led to a farce-like result.
But speaking of this year alone, as long as Cristiano Ronaldo wins the final Champions League championship with Real Madrid, the Ballon d'Or will be his.
The result is ironclad, and no one can hack it.
As a witness, Li Ang was deeply moved after watching Ronaldo's performance this season and his lead over other stars in public opinion.
He laments the difficulty of Ronaldo catching up with Messi in terms of personal honors, and also laments the various complex operations involved in operating such a heavyweight personal award in today's football world.
He is no longer an ignorant newcomer who only started playing professional football two years ago and has little understanding of the industry.
Under the influence of Mendes, Li Ang deeply realized that reputation publicity and platform advantages would greatly help his personal business value and win awards.
This is a very real problem.
Why are there so many football stars who want to play for Real Madrid from the past to the present, and even in the future, but there are so many stars who are unwilling to leave the team even if they don't have a place?
The reason probably lies in the word "fame and fortune".
The current Golden Globe Award is still far away from Li Ang, so far away that he can't even have the slightest desire in his heart.
But he felt that these clear understandings still benefited him a lot.
If, if one day he has the qualification to stand on that dazzling stage.
At least, he knows how to make the right choices to build momentum for himself
After playing against Mallorca in the La Liga finale of this season, at the championship celebration that night, Li Ang and his teammates cheered heartily when they won the cup!
The 2011-2012 La Liga season officially came to an end amidst the thunderous cheers at the Bernabeu.
Afterwards, Lafayette cordially had a warm conversation with every Real Madrid player.
When he arrived at Li Ang, he even called Li Ang "our little lion!"
Kind hugs and encouragement followed.
Lafayette did not discuss business matters with Li Ang at this moment, but his extraordinarily kind and intimate manner could not make Li Ang relax well.
If anyone thinks that the kind-looking old man in front of him is really so kind and friendly, then he either has too little experience or has some brain problem.
Leon is not Nacho or Carvajal, and he will not really think that he is one of his favorites just because of the intimacy shown by Lafayette.
There must be another layer of meaning in this.
Because the other Real Madrid players are all watching this scene at this moment!
Lafayette only gave Cassie a hug and a few words of encouragement. Why did he talk cordially to him for an extra minute?
Abnormal.
Even if Florentillo has no extra thoughts at this moment, Leon will not show his gratitude and love to him carelessly.
Seeing that Li Ang always treated him with courtesy and humility, Florentino said no more. Finally, he patted Li Ang on the shoulder without changing his expression and motioned for him to continue celebrating with his teammates waiting in front.
Such an episode still attracted the attention of many people despite the lively environment.
However, most fans thought this was an expression of Lafayette's love for Li Ang and didn't think much about it.
Some reporters thought more, but when they saw that one of the real owners was Florentino, the more senior reporters stopped thinking about this muddy water.
Mourinho and Mendes' expressions changed subtly.
Casillas didn't think much about it, but Ramos and Aveiroa glanced at Li Ang who politely said goodbye to the chairman.
However, when Li Ang joined his teammates enthusiastically as always, the subtle atmosphere seemed to be dispersed in an instant.
Everything seems to be back to normal, and the Real Madrid players still have excited and happy smiles on their faces.
After the celebration that night, the next afternoon, the Valdebebas training base became nervous and busy with the arrival of Real Madrid first-team players one by one.
Real Madrid begins preparations for the final sprint for this season's Champions League final.
The club invited a professional camera crew to record the preparations of every first-team coach and player.
Of course, the finished film will definitely have to be edited in the later stage. Some content will be broadcast, and some content will definitely not be broadcast.
As for the title of the documentary recorded this time, Lafayette confidently gave the final suggestion.
It’s called “Heart of Ten Crowns”!
In London at this moment, Chelsea's old boys are also making final efforts to prepare for the upcoming Champions League final.
The British media also spared no effort to publicize Chelsea's difficult road to promotion this season.
When it comes to building momentum, the major sports newspapers and magazines in the British media can be called professionals among professionals.
After some packaging, the story of Chelsea as a weak player who repeatedly challenged strong opponents and worked hard to reach the Champions League final stage instantly gained the emotional bias of many neutral fans.
And if you have to tell a story, the regrets and persistence of Chelsea's old boys are indeed more interesting than Real Madrid.
With the war of public opinion, the Western media is no longer a match for the British media across Europe.
"The Sun" also came out to cause trouble. One moment it was said that Essien had found a new bed partner in Spain, and the other moment it was reported that Cristiano Ronaldo was cheating on Irina again.
Although these are just rumors, the Sun's reputation cannot be matched by public opinion, which still caused some interference to the Real Madrid players.
However, for players such as Leon, Alonso, Kaká and Callejon, external publicity cannot disturb their minds at all.
This time there was no need for Mourinho to make any strict preventive speeches. Casillas took the initiative to convene a player meeting within the team under the persuasion of Li Ang and Ramos.
this point is very important.
At least before the big game began, several players on the team who were rumored to have gained clear trust from their teammates.
The Real Madrid players, who unified their thinking and were once again closely united, successfully completed their preparations.
Mourinho is satisfied with the quality of training in the last few days.
However, compared to the quality of training, he is more satisfied with the calm mentality of the current players on the team.
When it comes to experience in the Champions League finals, Real Madrid actually has quite a lot of experience.
Among the coaching staff, Mourinho led the team to two Champions League finals and successfully won the championship.
Karanka won three Champions League trophies with Real Madrid in five seasons as a player. He is truly a winner in life.
Among the players, it goes without saying that Casillas helped Real Madrid win two Champions League trophies when he was in his early twenties.
Long Ge also reached two Champions League finals with the team during his time at Liverpool and won the championship once.
Essien participated in one Champions League final and lost.
Kaká participated in two Champions League finals, losing once and winning the other.
Ronaldo and Kaka are the same.
With these experienced players holding the line, the rest of the players, even if they are still young, will not panic under the influence of the calm mentality of their teammates.
After being fully prepared mentally and in training, the Real Madrid team took a plane to Munich, Germany, on the afternoon of May 18th.
At the Allianz Arena in Munich, which is already relatively familiar, the confident Real Madrid team left photos of stepping on the field.
Real Madrid officially tweeted these photos, which immediately attracted crazy reprints from fans and media.
After a long absence, Li Ang once again spoke on domestic social media, hoping that domestic fans can support Real Madrid on the day of the game.
When he posted this update, tens of millions of domestic fans who followed him poured in to actively leave messages and forward relevant updates.
After a while, the topic about him and Real Madrid rushed to the forefront of the social platform.
By noon Chinese time, the topic "Cheer for Li Ang" had already dominated the trending searches, and many melon-eaters who didn't know the truth participated in the discussion.
Li Ang single-handedly stirred up national discussion during sports events, and Li Ang also stunned many domestic corporate giants with his actions.
In terms of momentum and popularity, only Dayao, who was very popular in the NBA back then, and the domestic hurdler earlier that year can slightly surpass Li Ang.
Of course, if Li Ang really succeeds in winning the Champions League this year, his reputation should break the ceiling of the domestic sports world in one fell swoop.
This is the charm of the world's No. 1 sport, and it is also the advantage that other sports cannot match.
Even Mendes was surprised when he received a report from his team about the huge momentum Li Ang has caused in China.
As the game time approaches, the topic of discussion about Li Ang in China has become more and more popular.
After one o'clock in the morning in China, part of the melon-eating crowd gradually dispersed, but the number of people who stayed to pay attention to tonight's Champions League final also exceeded the expectations of all Chinese fans.
Li Ang is now stepping onto the court with his teammates to start warming up.
The moment he saw Drogba and Terry, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Of course he was very happy to be able to compete with his favorite players.
But that’s about it.
If you want to communicate, wait until the game is completely over before looking for an opportunity to communicate.
Now they are just enemies, fighting for the same championship without any empathy or emotional resonance for each other.
On the evening of May 19th, 20:40 local time in Germany.
After the last pre-war mobilization, the players of the two teams began to step onto the turf of the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Li Ang held the caddy, and an uncontrollable excitement suddenly surged in his heart.
Even though his facial expression seemed calm, deep down in his heart, the turbulent emotions were constantly alerting him:
This is the stage for the Champions League final, and his next performance is likely to determine the mood of hundreds of millions of Real Madrid fans for the rest of the summer.
Of course, it will also determine his own mood in the offseason.
Win or lose, what will be the consequences? Li Ang had made various fantasies before.
But now, he chose to clear his mind first.
After taking a deep breath, Li Ang lined up on the court behind Brother Long with firm steps and stood still.
The exciting Champions League theme song played.
In the stands with clear lines between white and blue, Li Ang saw a lot of bright reds.
He laughed heartily.
He Wei, who was partnering with Director Zhang to commentate on the Champions League final tonight, happened to see this scene flash by the live broadcast camera.
But before he could speak, Director Zhang spoke first.
"Li Ang looks very confident. Among the players on both sides, he seems to be the only one who smiles so calmly. It's amazing that he can still have this mentality at this time."
He Wei echoed a few words of approval, and when he saw the players from the two teams shaking hands and greetings, he also quickly introduced the starting lineups of both sides today.
"Real Madrid put together a starting lineup of four, three, and three that worked very well in the second half of the season today.
The goalkeeper is No. 1 Casillas.
On the defense line are No. 12 Marcelo, No. 4 Ramos, No. 3 Pepe and No. 17 Arbeloa.
In the midfield, No. 14 Xavi Alonso is still behind, with No. 10 Li Ang and No. 23 Essien on both sides of the midfield.
On the forward line, No. 7 Ronaldo and No. 22 Di Maria play on the left and right sides, and No. 9 Benzema comes forward. "
"Chelsea's Di Matteo also arranged the 4-2-31 starting lineup that they defeated Barcelona in the last round.
The goalkeeper is No. 1 Petr Cech.
On the back line are No. 3 Ashley Cole, No. 26 John Terry, No. 24 Gary Cahill and No. 2 Ivanovic.
In the midfield, No. 12 Mikel and No. 7 Ramirez trail behind, No. 21 Kalou and No. 10 Juan Mata are on both sides of the midfield, and No. 8 Lampard is in the center.
No. 11 Drogba suddenly stepped forward as the lone forward. "
Along with He Wei's explanation, diagrams of the starting lineups of the two teams and the names of relevant players also appeared on the TV.
Director Zhang specifically mentioned Meireles, who did not perform well in the last round and lost his starting position in the final.
He also speculated that Di Matteo would still have to counterattack steadily in this game and use his backhand at critical moments in the second half.
"For players like Torres, Malouda, and Bosingwa, if you come on and rush in the second half, it will still be miraculous. I just don't know if Real Madrid will give Chelsea a chance to delay the decisive moment until the second half."
As soon as Director Zhang finished speaking, the players from the two teams who had already completed their positions also started to serve and move when the whistle sounded.
He Wei's familiar voice of the game's opening remarks followed closely.
"The stage is decorated, the stage is installed! Audience friends, welcome to watch the 2011-2012 season"
After reading the opening remarks in one breath, Directors He Wei and Zhang quickly began to explain and analyze the main tactics of both sides today.
Chelsea started with a posture of stabilizing the midfield defense and actively fighting for it.
It is obvious from Real Madrid's side that after taking the first kick, they did not rush to send long passes as an offensive test, but slowly pushed the entire formation forward while maintaining stable ball control.
Real Madrid wants to press forward and attack!
And he is still relatively proactive in attacking.
This was expected by many fans. For Chelsea fans, Real Madrid's choice is also something they are happy to see.
Chelsea's previous pass against Barcelona was largely due to Barcelona's excessive forward pressure, which allowed them to find a good opportunity to counterattack.
However, as the game situation developed, Chelsea fans felt a little uneasy.
Because Real Madrid's forward pressing is too "stable".
It's like an experienced army fighting for position on the battlefield.
Real Madrid has seized control of an area and must first steadily suppress the Chelsea players in this area before making the next overall push.
Regarding the pressure and competition for court space, the current Real Madrid team can be said to be the highest level team in world football.
They can both grab and pass. Leon and Essien's short passing skills are not bad. There are three forwards who retreat to support them, and Alonso, a master of organizing and passing, is behind them. Real Madrid is not very afraid of Chelsea's start. Pressing.
After suppressing the situation in a targeted manner, Real Madrid began to establish a stable Marcelo-C Ronaldo offensive channel.
Ramos and Li Ang's defense on this side is to give their two attackers a better chance.
And in terms of matchup situations, the Mata-Ramirez-Ivanovic wing defense line between Ronaldo and Marcelo can also perform better.
Focusing on the current Cristiano Ronaldo making a fuss on the wing, Real Madrid can always open up the situation on the offensive end as soon as possible.
Looking at their own formation that began to be compressed less than ten minutes into the game, Chelsea fans couldn't help but look at the man standing in front of the Real Madrid coach's bench with complicated eyes.
The man who once brought honor to Chelsea and laid the foundation of style, but also later made many Chelsea fans miss him.
Mourinho.
Mourinho actually felt extremely complicated at this moment.
Like Essien on the field, he had never thought that he would one day face Chelsea.
This feeling made him sad, but he had to target the team he had built with his own hands and put his former proud disciples into desperate situations.
Real Madrid's opening push went smoothly, even smoother than Mourinho expected.
Real Madrid, which has already been tested by Barcelona and Bayern this season, and has also eaten away too many stubborn teams, actually does not find it difficult when facing Chelsea's defense.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo's personal breakthrough ability is also really strong. Mata is very active in returning to defense, but he does not have very good defensive ability in the first place.
Ramirez and Ivanovic, who is no longer at his peak, can't withstand the impact of Real Madrid's ace from the left.
Gradually, Chelsea returned to the same predicament as when they played Barcelona.
That is, when the players' personal defensive strength has declined sharply and they cannot withstand the opponent's blast one-on-one, they can only consider setting up a bus.
Seeing this, Di Matteo had no better way.
His original intention was to rely on his numerical advantage in the middle to deal with Real Madrid and consume the physical energy of Real Madrid's midfielders as much as possible.
As a result, he did not expect that Mourinho never thought of playing head-on with him in the middle from the beginning.
Instead, they kept Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo and played on the left, so hard that Ramirez and Ivanovic repeatedly called for help from their teammates.
In this case, Di Matteo had no choice but to make tactical adjustments first, asking his midfielders to retreat and set up the half-court bus first.
Sacrificing most of the threat of counterattack, Di Matteo also knows that when playing against Real Madrid, Real Madrid must not score the first goal early.
Drogba was not dissatisfied and actively retreated to his own half.
When Ronaldo saw more and more defenders in front of him, he decisively began to cooperate with his teammates to transfer the ball.
Benzema's all-around qualities played a very important role at this moment. His running and ball-making skills drew the attention of many Chelsea defenders in the middle.
Therefore, Li Ang, who has excellent short passing skills on the outside, can connect with Essien's constant lateral conduction to attack from the left and right wings.
This is a defensive dilemma that Chelsea didn't often encounter when fighting Barcelona.
In Barcelona's two games, Fabregas and Sanchez each occupied the ninth position once. If you ask them to go to Terry and Cahill to get the ball with their backs, how can they hold it?
I Guofeng, not to mention frontal confrontation, the role of the back fulcrum is still quite prominent.
He was stuck in the middle of Chelsea's penalty area, and Terry did not dare to relax his marking easily.
Because if Benzema and Cahill are allowed to compete one-on-one, Benzema will really be a huge threat.
Terry did not dare to move, and the Chelsea defensive players on the left and right had no choice but to call the midfielders back to help face the successive attacks of Ronaldo and Di Maria.
You have to keep an eye on all three lines, but you only have so many defenders. When playing against Barcelona, you dare to hoard heavy troops and let Messi play long shots in the middle. You are not afraid that Barcelona players on both wings will find opportunities to take the ball and pass.
But against Real Madrid, do you dare to give such a big space to the wing?
When the cross is passed together, Cristiano Ronaldo, the advancing Li Ang and Benzema are three Real Madrid players with the ability to compete for the top in your Chelsea penalty area.
Terry and Cahill's air defense is strong, but you are a bit slower after all. Real Madrid has many offensive opportunities. If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three times.
As long as he seizes a threatening opportunity, Cech will have to face a major test.
Mourinho has put Chelsea's defensive system to death in this regard.
It is to force Chelsea to set up the bus first, and then Real Madrid will slowly work around Chelsea's defense.
Others are afraid of the bus, Real Madrid or Bayern, but they are really not afraid.
In Li Ang's memory, Bayern actually succeeded in attacking Chelsea in the final, but their finishing ability was always inferior.
Cech was in good form, but if Bayern's forward line wasn't so stretched that night, the game would have been ruined long ago.
Real Madrid has no worries or shortcomings in this regard.
At least in the eyes of outsiders, Ronaldo's finishing ability is already at the top level in European football.
As long as there are enough opportunities, Ronaldo can also open up Chelsea's defense.
However, Ronaldo didn't seem to have a strong desire to shoot tonight. He played very reasonably, which was beyond the reasonable expectations of Real Madrid fans.
This made both Benzema and Di Maria more comfortable.
Because as soon as Ronaldo gets the ball, he naturally attracts a lot of attention from Chelsea's defenders. When he is willing to share the ball and fire, both of them can have good offensive opportunities.
In the 17th minute of the first half, Ronaldo received the ball from Li Ang on the left and challenged Ivanovic.
Being too close to the edge of the penalty area, Ivanovic did not dare to take foul defensive actions against Ronaldo.
This time, Ronaldo played a unique role and did not choose to pass the ball to Marcelo on the edge.
During the continuous advancement and change of direction, he suddenly went out and violently passed Ivanovic cleanly!
Cahill immediately came over to defend. He couldn't let Ronaldo cut inside and enter Chelsea's penalty area. That would be too dangerous!
But at this moment, Ronaldo used his heel to knock the ball back to Marcelo, who was supporting him!
Marcelo then distributed the ball to Li Ang on the left side of Chelsea's penalty area. This series of transfers immediately caused Chelsea's defense to become chaotic!
Essien and Benzema broke into Chelsea's penalty area at almost the same time, but Li Ang pushed the ball to the open area on the right side of the top of the penalty area.
As the Chelsea defenders retreated all the way and exposed the vacuum in front of the penalty area, Di Maria had already begun to adjust his steps to run up.
The firing site that Li Ang chose for him was very suitable for him to shoot smoothly.
So he didn't even stop the ball and shot the ball with full force against the rolling football!
This is an attack that fully reflects the spirit of Real Madrid's teamwork.
Cristiano Ronaldo became the tool. Benzema and Essien immediately forced Chelsea's defensive players to retreat. Li Ang acted selflessly and Di Maria took the right time to shoot decisively!
The division of labor is extremely clear.
And when the football drew a wonderful arc in the air, constantly spinning and approaching the upper left corner of Chelsea's goal.
Cech, whose sight was blocked by countless figures in front of him, could only choose to jump to save in a hurry!
But he did not touch the ball at the height he thought was appropriate. At this moment, Cech's heart seemed to have frozen!
The moment the football spun and hit the goal, all the Chelsea players widened their eyes in disbelief.
Less than twenty minutes into the game, the defense they had built through many pre-match drills was broken just like that?
The moment Ronaldo confirmed that the football had crossed the line, he completely let go of the grievances and frustrations in his heart.
He knelt down and roared excitedly to the sky, and Mourinho, who was looking at him at the moment, also had eyes full of relief.
"If we want to win this year's Champions League, we can only win it through unity and sacrifice. Chelsea will definitely do a lot of tactical analysis and plans for you before the game, so I need your tactical sacrifice, Chris. "
A week before the start of the game, Mourinho found Ronaldo and had a sincere pre-war conversation.
He didn't say much, just this sentence. Ronaldo didn't respond to him at that time. After a moment of silence, he left his office.
Mourinho was actually a little nervous an hour before the game started.
Because he thought he wouldn't get the answer he wanted most.
But now, he received a response from Ronaldo.
Li Ang hugged Ronaldo, truly admiring and happy for Ronaldo's tactical sacrifice in the final!
"Everyone will remember your contribution, Chris. We want to win, and we want to win together!"
"Yeah! Let's win together!"
Ah, I changed it for almost an hour, but I couldn’t move it anymore, so I went to have a bite to eat.
