Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

After repeatedly tossing Mourinho, Real Madrid's excited players were willing to let go of the head coach who was already weak in the legs.

After the passion and excitement gradually faded, looking around at the familiar faces of teammates who got along day and night, every Real Madrid player seemed to have too many things to say to each other.

Li Ang and Brother Long both took the lead in giving each other a tight hug.

They are masters and disciples, friends and comrades-in-arms.

Perhaps after leaving Liverpool, this is the first time that Long Ge has been so open to his teammates.

The last person who asked him to do this was named Gerald.

It can only be said that Li Ang makes Brother Long extremely satisfied whether it is from his attitude towards the game, his professionalism, or his personal character.

Of course, forget about the emotional kiss like that with Gerald.

After all, Brother Long is no longer young. This time against Chelsea, Real Madrid is not the weak side. Winning the game is a matter of course. Brother Long can still hold his emotions.

He finally patted Li Ang hard on the shoulder and asked Li Ang to celebrate with other teammates.

There is no need to say some routine words of congratulations and encouragement. The relationship between the two of them would seem pretentious if spoken too much. It is all in the tacit understanding of movements and eye contact.

Li Ang approached Ronaldo for the second time, or in other words, Ronaldo had been waiting for him.

When Li Ang and Alonso separated, Ronaldo took the initiative to walk towards Li Ang.

"Little lion!"

The two also hugged each other as soon as they met. Li Ang could completely feel the other's happiness and sincere happiness in the strength of Ronaldo's hug.

"I believe you can do it, Chris, I believe in you, we all believe in you, from beginning to end!"

Li Ang didn't say any polite words. If I had to choose the most critical figure in Real Madrid's lineup this season, it could only be Cristiano Ronaldo.

Whether it's the league, the Champions League, or the Copa del Rey.

As long as there is a game where Ronaldo plays, Real Madrid is guaranteed to score.

Looking around the world, only Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi of Real Madrid and Barcelona can bring such a solid sense of dependence to their teammates on the court.

Li Ang believed from beginning to end that they would achieve final victory in the third-line battle.

Because their team's running-in progress is very smooth, their defense is solid, their offense has no shortcomings, and their coaching team is excellent.

It's even more because they have the ace figure Cristiano Ronaldo who dares to shoulder the heavy responsibility of offense.

There is such a giant in front of him who averages one goal per game. It is impossible not to rely on him.

"Thank you, little lion. I know you are one of my best friends and teammates. We will win more together, I have no doubt about it."

Cristiano Ronaldo seems to have transformed into a talkative man at this moment, his joy and excitement are beyond words, which is in line with his character.

If he likes a teammate, he really likes him. He is very happy and that will show directly.

Li Ang just listened to his chatter with a smile on his face until Kaka also ran over.

After high-fiving and hugging Kaká, Li Ang found an excuse to leave, leaving Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaká side by side telling their respective joys of winning the championship.

He himself approached the Chelsea players who were still sitting or standing in a daze.

Li Ang sent his own comfort.

At this time, after the game, his behavior will no longer be magnified by the media.

This is normal, because Casillas is comforting Cech at this moment, and Mourinho also walks towards his former proud disciples.

After Li Ang exchanged jerseys with Drogba, he shyly took out the signature pen he had prepared long ago.

Drogba's depressed heart seemed to feel a little better at this moment.

He didn't expect that some of the rumors in the media were actually true.

Li Ang now admitted in person that he was his fan.

Drogba comforted himself helplessly while signing his autograph.

In the end, he lost to his own fans on the field. This result does not seem to be unacceptable.

The award ceremony was quite a bitter taste for the defeated Chelsea players.

They didn't waste any time. After receiving the silver medal, they hurriedly left the stadium and left this place that shattered their dreams and devastated them.

The more than 30,000 Real Madrid fans who stayed at the scene started their indulgent championship carnival along with the Real Madrid players holding the trophy high in the stands!

Li Ang's meeting can be regarded as revealing the "suspense" that he left all domestic fans in the previous interview.

When it was his turn to hold the cup alone, he was already wearing a bright red national flag and proudly and confidently raised the big ear cup high above his head!

At this time, no domestic fans would jump out to question Li Ang's decision to wear the national flag and win the cup.

Because just before, Ramos completed the toast with the Spanish flag on his lower body, Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe were wearing Portuguese flags, and Marcelo also held the Brazilian flag in his hand.

A professional player never knows how many times he will have the opportunity to enter the Champions League finals in his life.

And if he can have the experience of winning once, his career can be considered complete.

At such moments, wearing the national flag obviously represents their strong identification and pride in their national identity!

He Wei choked up, and Director Zhang applauded with tears in his eyes, constantly murmuring "Okay!"

There is no doubt that this will be a highlight in the history of Chinese sports and one of the most important moments in the history of Chinese sports!

Photos of Li Ang wearing a national flag, shouting and holding a cup were snapped by the media at the scene.

Compared with the Chinese reporters who were proud and moved to tears, reporters from the other two countries who are also from East Asia can only feel deep envy.

South Korea still had Park Ji-sung who could make a big statement before, but Japan had no say at all in this regard.

And now, with Li Ang starting on behalf of Real Madrid and winning the Champions League championship, he also played a wonderful performance in passing and shooting in the final.

The greatest pride of South Korean journalists was also shattered.

After all, when Manchester United won the championship in 2008, Park Ji-sung didn't get a chance to play.

Late at night in China, public opinion about a big explosion is quietly brewing, and TV station and higher-level official media are also rushing to produce press releases overnight.

May 20th is destined to be an uneasy day.

Li Ang, who returned to Madrid with the championship trophy overnight, and his teammates rarely stayed up all night.

Because our fans are so enthusiastic!

Lafayette and other club executives only took a little time to congratulate each player and coach, and then left time for the players themselves.

Of course, the large-scale celebration ceremony will not start late at night, but it is still necessary to interact with the fans who came to greet the airport enthusiastically.

Afterwards, there was a lively small celebration banquet.

The Real Madrid players, who were also hungry, happened to have a big meal and settled down at the hotel one after another at three or four in the morning.

The next day and a half of vacation will be freely arranged by the Real Madrid players.

Li Ang went shopping in Madrid with his parents who were going abroad for the first time. Of course, he was accompanied by his brother-in-law and his family.

On the morning of May 21, Li Ang accepted a special interview from He Wei in the conference room of the training base and made a slightly official interview program.

As per the old rules, neither side mentioned sensitive domestic topics.

Li Ang's attitude was very easy-going, and Wutai's senior management, who had always been dissatisfied with certain associations, also firmly supported Li Ang.

Well, let’s talk about something more realistic. Li Ang has already won five championships, and he just won the double crown of the league and the Champions League as the absolute main force of Real Madrid!

If a certain association still wants to lose face, it should get as far away as possible at this time, and don't get involved.

Otherwise, it will be all over the place and the matter will be a big deal again, but they will be able to look good.

The interview went smoothly, and Li Ang finally prepared a small surprise for He Wei.

He pulled out one of his No. 10 jerseys.

A jersey signed by all the players of Real Madrid's first team, although it is not the final version, is enough to make He Wei ecstatic.

In the afternoon, He Wei also conducted interviews with other Real Madrid players and coaches.

This was also specially approved by Real Madrid's senior management. Lafayette and the others were quite happy to establish friendly relations with the official media from China.

And Li Ang had to start his recovery training in the afternoon.

Most of the Real Madrid first-team players also have to start recovery training today.

Because on the evening of May 25th, they will usher in the last game of the season.

Copa del Rey final with Barcelona!

The good news is that this season's Copa del Rey final will be played at Atletico Madrid's home stadium, the Calderon Stadium.

Real Madrid almost has the advantage of playing at home.

The rest time is quite sufficient, and five days is barely enough for Real Madrid's players to accumulate physical reserves for another big battle.

Moreover, it is related to the third championship trophy this season, and they are facing their mortal enemy Barcelona. Real Madrid does not want to lose at this juncture anyway.

Barcelona, ​​known as Team Cosmos in the past few seasons, may not have expected that one day they would carry the expectations of fans of other teams, hoping that they could win the "War to Defend the Earth."

Yes, the role of the devil in football is now played by Real Madrid.

Winning the Champions League undefeated, reaching the top of the league with a record-breaking 109 points, not only crushing Barcelona, ​​but also shocking the world of football!

"Unprecedented!"

This is the label that countless European sports media are currently labeling this Real Madrid team in Mourinho's second year.

Barcelona's dominant performance in the past three seasons has been quite abnormal.

But the tactical suppression and fighting spirit demonstrated by Real Madrid this season have given the development of European football a new path to control.

The composition of the personnel lineup does not have many shortcomings. It pays more attention to space pressure than the pursuit of ball possession. It has a tactical style of quick counterattacks, better running, better grabbing, and better confrontation.

Head coaches Heynckes and Klopp were the first to express interest in Real Madrid's tactics.

In other words, they were originally "fellow travelers" on the road to exploring this set of tactics.

Mourinho has already demonstrated the power of this tactic in its upcoming stage.

Yes, the current Mourinho actually dares not to say that he has thoroughly understood this new space pressing tactic.

He is still figuring it out.

And when more head coaches participate in the experiment, a new tactical trend will surely spread quickly on the big stage of European football.

Of course, more coaches and teams are still choosing to wait and see.

After all, Real Madrid's dominant performance has only lasted this season. Whether this set of tactics can be lasting and effective will have to be tested by time and more opponents.

It just so happens that Real Madrid will soon face off against Barcelona again in the Copa del Rey final.

The contest between the new king and the old king will begin for the third time this season, and the two participating parties are gearing up to actively prepare for the battle.

The fans, media and coaches from various leagues who were watching were also looking forward to it.

But for Mourinho, it is important to seek innovation in tactical play.

But for him and Real Madrid, winning the duel with Barcelona once again is more important.

He has never concealed his identity as a "triumphalist".

Now that they have tasted the thrill of winning the championship, the Real Madrid players have firmly gathered under Mourinho.

They don't have the upper hand in terms of physical fitness, but they are determined and confident enough in terms of will.

Real Madrid, which already has two crowns in hand, will not let go of another opportunity to suppress Barcelona and create a triple crown.

In Li Ang's words.

That is the joy that Barcelona fans once felt, and Real Madrid fans must have it too, and more!

※※※

On the evening of May 25th, at 22:00 local time in Madrid, the Spanish El Clasico officially started on the stage of the Copa del Rey final!

Atletico Madrid fans feel very bad at this moment.

After all, they didn't expect that the two teams that ended up playing the King's Cup final at their home court were one of their mortal enemies, and the other was one of the teams they didn't like.

This caused them to lose interest in watching the finals.

Although they would be very happy to see Real Madrid lose in the end, when they thought about it, Real Madrid's defeat was also Barcelona's victory, and they felt depressed and heartbroken.

The fans of the two teams of Real Madrid and Salvador are currently cheering for their beloved teams in the Calderon Stadium.

Well, the scene is magical, but you’ll get used to it, at least that’s how Real Madrid fans comfort themselves.

After all, it is the final in Madrid. At this time, it is reasonable to regard Calderon as Real Madrid's home court!

Judging from the scene, Real Madrid did not show off their home momentum today. In the first ten minutes of the game, they were almost completely suppressed by Barcelona.

However, there was not much worry or anxiety on the faces of Real Madrid's players.

After all, including the Spanish Super Cup before the season, they also won three games against Barcelona this year. Psychologically speaking, there is no pressure on Barcelona from the previous seasons.

And their pre-match tactical drills are like this.

Barcelona has been resting for almost two weeks and can adopt a strong offensive tactic at the beginning. It is reasonable for Real Madrid to avoid its edge at this time.

The coaching staff put the time to counterattack in the second half, so the Real Madrid players on the field were not in a hurry.

However, the love-hate relationship between Li Ang and Messi once again entered the entanglement stage from the beginning of the game.

Barcelona fans are very helpless. Now every time Barcelona plays against Real Madrid, Messi has to face Liang.

Messi can still score goals, but compared to the previous games against Real Madrid, the number of goals and assists is much less.

Many media have previously pointed out the reason why Barcelona cannot do much with Real Madrid's tactics.

That is Messi lacks helpers.

If it were like before, when Eto'o and Henry were still there, even if Li Ang pestered Messi, Messi could more easily help Barcelona create more threatening opportunities on the offensive end.

Because Eto'o and Henry, who received Messi's pass, were very good at seizing opportunities.

But now it is Sanchez and Pedro who is partnered with Messi.

It's not that these two are bad, but if compared with Eto'o and Henry, it can only be said that they are not on the same level.

Messi now has to not only create threats for his teammates, but also fire and score goals himself, shouldering too much offensive responsibility.

Although he did perform very well, in this case, once he was entangled by Li Ang, it meant that Barcelona's strongest source of firepower on the front line had to be "quiet" for a while.

Guardiola actually knew the problem later, but to be honest, there are too few high-quality forwards on the market that meet the requirements of Barcelona's system.

Real Madrid's Benzema is actually someone who can seamlessly integrate into Barcelona's system.

He can be at the forefront and help Messi attract defensive firepower, and his passing and control skills are excellent enough. He has also scored 18 league goals in Real Madrid this season, and he is still young.

It's a pity that "Bai Daluo" was acquired by Real Madrid early. Looking at the relatively young outstanding centers on the market, there are really not many who can catch the eye of Guardiola if they have the opportunity to be brought to Camp Nou.

Don't talk about Suarez at this moment.

Suarez, who has just played a whole season with Liverpool, is not the Su Shen of later generations. His eleven goals in a single season can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

There's no way Guardiola would consider him.

And now Aguero, who is performing well in Manchester City and is also very attractive to Pep Guardiola, is a signing target that Barcelona cannot buy.

This is a player that Guardiola has no chance to bring to Camp Nou. The wealthy people from the Middle East are not short of money at all.

If Barcelona dares to offer Aguero in front of you, they will dare to offer you 100 to 200 million in exchange for Messi.

So Guardiola also had a headache for half the season. When he really couldn't find a suitable signing target, he didn't make much move in the winter window.

Mourinho is once again playing tactical tricks with Barcelona, ​​and Guardiola can only choose to believe in Messi.

The other players in Barcelona can only firmly believe in Messi, just like Real Madrid believes in Ronaldo.

But it is a pity that neither of the two super giants on the court today are in particularly good condition.

In the first half, Ronaldo only shot three shots, and only one of them hit the goal frame.

There are reasons for Ronaldo's own reasons, but it can also be seen that Barcelona's defensive strategy today is still very successful.

Real Madrid also relied on Li Ang's tactical sacrifice to prevent Messi, who was in average condition, from successfully tearing apart Real Madrid's defense.

In the first half, the two sides seemed to be playing lively, but if we really wanted to talk about great opportunities, there was really not even one.

On the contrary, the backcourt players on both sides did a very good job on the defensive end today.

Barcelona was restless, with the four defenders arranged neatly. The combination of Pique and Abidal finally withstood Real Madrid's cross pressure in the air defense.

Not to mention Real Madrid's side, Li Ang made tactical sacrifices, and there are two midfielders, Alonso and Essien.

It will take a lot of effort for the rest of Barcelona's offensive players to get rid of their defense.

However, after a goalless draw in the first half, both teams unanimously chose to play more aggressively in the second half.

Real Madrid, which had been struggling for half the game, was not seriously exhausted in terms of physical energy, and it was able to withstand it with all its strength in the second half.

Barcelona wanted to take the lead as soon as possible after Messi broke out.

Barcelona will have no problem playing regular time games.

But they really didn't want to drag the game into overtime.

Barcelona players are physically fit enough to play overtime, but they are really not good at playing overtime.

As for the possible penalty shootout in the end, Guardiola never thought about it.

Don't talk about him now, Mourinho never thought that the game would reach the final moment of the penalty kick.

Real Madrid's strategic counterattack point is in the second half.

After not being very successful in seizing the ball at the beginning, Real Madrid resolutely launched a counterattack.

Busquets' pace has become a weakness in Barcelona's defense that Real Madrid can exploit multiple times.

But today, Adriano and Alves, who moved inwards, blocked Real Madrid's counterattacks many times on the defensive end.

In the final analysis, Guardiola still learned the lesson of being overwhelmed by Real Madrid's counterattacks a few times before, but his response was to trade the offensive power of the wing for a more stable defense.

Alves didn't even try to get in, and the burden on Messi's shoulders increased again.

This also made Mourinho rarely depressed.

He really didn't expect Guardiola to be so conservative in this final.

Neither team wanted to take the risk of making a mistake first, and the game time really came to the end of the regular period bit by bit.

Li Ang was not like he usually did when playing against Barcelona. He fell down tired after playing for ninety minutes.

But he doesn't think it's his own credit for keeping Messi out of action for ninety minutes today.

He could feel that Messi's condition in today's game was indeed average.

Even though Messi exploded at the beginning of the second half, after seeing Pedro kicking the ball away after receiving his pass, Li Ang knew that Messi was probably tired.

The current results seem to further validate his conjecture.

After entering overtime, Barcelona, ​​which is obviously more physically superior, like Real Madrid, gradually became heavier.

Maybe it's because the Barcelona players are still immersed in the frustration of being eliminated from the Champions League by Chelsea?

Or is it because watching Real Madrid win the two most important championships of this season has the confidence of Barcelona players taken a big hit?

Speculative thoughts flashed through the minds of Real Madrid players.

But no matter what, the current situation is very beneficial to Real Madrid.

Even if it does end up in a penalty shootout.

During the rehydration time in the middle of overtime, Mourinho and Karanka obviously thought of this and began to vaccinate the players.

Speaking of which, they have practiced penalty shootouts many times before, and in terms of psychological preparation, Real Madrid is not panicked at all.

They don't know whether Barcelona is prepared, but at this point in the game, if they really can't score a goal, they can only stand bravely at the twelve yards and use their will and confidence to win the final victory!

Fans of both teams became nervous.

Time passed quickly in the second half of overtime.

Before the end of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo received a cross from substitute Kaká during the counterattack, and Messi once again broke out and shot inside after getting rid of Liang, which once gave the fans of Real Madrid hope.

However, the goalkeepers of the two teams who performed well today used stable performance to deny the goal at the last minute.

Finally, the referee on duty blew the whistle at the end of overtime!

Commentators and fans from various countries also felt their hearts tightening at this moment.

The cruel penalty shootout is really coming!

The coaches on both sides began to make final arrangements for the penalty shootout.

Regardless of whether they are willing or not, they can only leave the decision-making power of the game completely in the hands of their own players.

There was a brief commotion on Real Madrid's side. Although it quickly subsided, it also attracted the attention of the live broadcast camera.

Puyol, who came on as a substitute in overtime for Barcelona, ​​got priority in choosing sides with Casillas.

Needless to say, the old Barcelona captain directly chose a stand where Barcelona fans gathered.

Casillas chose Real Madrid to take the penalty kick first!

This confident gesture made Puyol subconsciously feel something bad.

And the next moment, when Valdes was warming up and walking to the goal line, Li Ang walked out first with a smile and a football in his hand!

Yes, instead of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Ramos, Real Madrid sent Li Ang to take the penalty kick first!

This is also the penalty spot that Li Ang fought for.

He was originally scheduled to take the fourth penalty kick, after Ramos and before Ronaldo.

His penalty kick skills and top-notch pressure-resistant mentality have won him the trust of his teammates and Mourinho.

And now, his proactive gesture has won the respect of almost all fans!

There are no cowards in front of the twelve yards, and the player who takes the initiative to be the first to kick the ball has an absolute big heart!

The confident look of Li Ang smiling and turning the ball at this moment may still be deeply remembered by Real Madrid fans many years later!

Xu Yang, who was commentating on the game today, was trembling a little.

Anyway, He Wei held on to the situation and continued to cheer Li Ang up!

"Leon didn't make too many moves. He calmly positioned the football, adjusted his steps, and looked at Valdez who started to twist his body on the goal line!

His expression was very calm. The referee blew the whistle! Li Ang takes a run-up and hits the goal! ! ! Wahaha——! ! !

The ball went in! The ball went in——! ! ! Li Ang sent the ball into the upper right corner of the Barcelona goal with a blast without hesitation!

Valdés pounced in the wrong direction! But even if he threw the ball in the right direction, it would be difficult for him to save Li Ang's powerful shot and hit the goal! You played so decisively and confidently! Li Ang made a good start for Real Madrid! "

During He Wei's extremely excited and quick explanation, it was already past six o'clock in the morning in China, and many fans jumped up from their seats with cheers and roars!

Li Ang slapped his chest vigorously and roared in a cathartic manner, casting encouraging and trusting glances at his fans and even his teammates and brothers!

The Real Madrid camp was in a state of excitement, and some of the Barcelona players on the other side began to look a little strange.

Fortunately, Messi, who was the first to play for Barcelona, ​​did not have weak feet this time. He also deceived Casillas's prediction with a powerful shot to the center and helped Barcelona regain some morale.

Since then, Real Madrid's Kaka and Benzema have also lived up to their hard training and achieved success overnight.

Confidence is something that the more you fight, the more you have, and the other party may be slightly affected.

Iniesta, who played in Barcelona's second round, hit the lower left corner with a very fast ball speed.

Casillas finally pounced in the right direction but missed the ball. He was so angry that he hit the turf directly, but his confidence in the save was already fully restored!

Sanchez, who played in the third round of Barcelona, ​​had no expression on his face. He chose to hit Real Madrid's lower right corner opposite Inesta, and it was also a ground ball.

But this time, Casillas made a more decisive save than last time. The direction he predicted was the lower right corner!

The moment Casillas saved Sanchez's penalty kick, the Real Madrid fans at the scene instantly became excited!

The morale of Real Madrid's side is also high, and everyone's belief in winning has become stronger!

Ramos appeared in the fourth round. Faced with Valdez's twisting posture, he hit the center of the goal very resolutely!

Valdes pounced on the same lower right corner as Casillas!

Real Madrid took a 4-2 lead in the fourth round of the penalty shootout!

Even if Xavi, who came on the scene later, helped Barcelona stabilize its position and brought the penalty score back to 4-3, Barcelona's hope of equalizing was already very slim.

Because the fifth person from Real Madrid to take a penalty kick is Cristiano Ronaldo!

Li Ang and the others did not cheer for Ronaldo. What they could do at this time was try not to interfere with Ronaldo's shooting options.

After Ronaldo placed the football, he looked at Valdez, who finally calmed down and looked solemn, his eyes full of determination!

The referee blew the whistle and Ronaldo started to run. After just the right run, Ronaldo pocketed the ball and hit it towards the upper left corner of the goal!

It's exactly opposite the position chosen by Li Ang for the opening!

Valdes made the save in the right direction this time, but his save speed couldn't keep up with Ronaldo's speed!

The football hit the net without any hindrance, and Cristiano Ronaldo's goal at the last moment completely detonated the brilliant summer for Real Madrid fans!

"Ahhhhh——!!! Triple Crown Champion! We are Triple Crown Champion!!!"

Marcelo was the first to rush out excitedly, and the rest of the Real Madrid players followed closely behind!

However, when they sprinted to the penalty area, including Ronaldo, they all performed a "bomber glide" to celebrate!

This magnificent scene attracted countless reporters on the sidelines to take pictures, and also made the Real Madrid fans at the scene cheer even more crazily!

This was the last suggestion made by Li Ang before the penalty shootout started.

If they win this game, they will use a collective celebration to celebrate this great season that is destined to belong to Real Madrid!

Triple Crown!

This season, the coffin has been completely finalized!

When Mourinho raised his arms and shouted, looking at the silent Barcelona fans, there was only one thought left in his mind.

"When you look at this crown, lower your heads!"

"A tribute to Triple Crown winner Real Madrid!!!"

Phew, this season is over, and the time has been changed a little more. I really feel sorry for you guys.

Finally, the foodie shamelessly asked for a wave of subscriptions and tickets~
