Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 139 Goodbye Jia Mansion, familiar smell, familiar beginning

"I guess in the near future, Li Ang will not be able to easily get the ball in this position. Hehe, Li Ang may not even think about shooting, but other teams dare not bet on this. The experience of Rayo Vallecano makes these Granada's players overreacted."

"Hey, Director Zhang, do you think it's possible that Li Ang deliberately moved to this area during this attack?"

"It's possible. Xiao Li has a quick mind. Maybe he really wants to let Granada's defenders press out to create better opportunities for Morata to advance forward."

He Wei and Director Zhang, who were in a relaxed mood in the studio, quickly figured out what Li Ang was thinking during the attack.

Good guy, I just have to describe Li Ang as a wizard who can come up with three or four offensive plans in just a few seconds.

In fact, Li Ang was more adaptable at the time.

Granada's defender didn't press out first, so he passed the ball back to the right without warning, allowing Carvajal to pick up the ball and pass it.

But one thing He Wei was right about was that Li Ang was indeed very familiar with the playing style of his teammates on the court.

After the fleeting offensive opportunity came out, the offensive shell delivered by Li Ang to Morata was directly a high ball.

If it were Callejon, he would have given a through ball with sufficient advance.

Morata, you should create as comfortable a space as possible for him to take off and rush forward.

In terms of headers after running, this kid can now be ranked among the top five in the Real Madrid team.

It is true that all the finishing talents are focused on the head.

"Hold the rest of the time, and we will try our best to score a few more goals in the second half. Jose (Callejon), when we guard the center line later, you don't have to retreat too far, and your position is slightly better. If there is a good counterattack opportunity, I will pass the ball to you as soon as possible."

After celebrating, Li Ang clapped and called all his teammates over to remind him of the follow-up tactics.

This is not his own initiative, Mourinho formulated this style of play before the game.

It's just that now Li Ang takes the initiative to take on the role of reminding his teammates at all times.

Modric felt quite fresh watching this scene.

When he and Li Ang played together with the main players before, there were several players on the field doing this job.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Alonso and Ramos will always remind and encourage their teammates.

At that time, Li Ang would also add a few words and yell to remind his teammates when defending, but it was completely different from now.

Looking at the young Real Madrid players who were listening to Li Ang's instructions attentively, Modric suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Leader on the field"

Yes, compared to Casillas, who is also starting with the captain's armband at the moment, Li Ang's performance is actually more like a leader on the field.

After returning to his own half, Modric looked at Casillas who seemed to be used to it and didn't feel anything was wrong.

I couldn't help but have a new understanding of Li Ang's status in the Real Madrid team.

Li Ang didn't notice the thoughtfulness in Magic Flute's eyes.

He organized the interception defense in the midfield and protected his own defense well in the last few minutes of the first half.

When the referee blew the halftime whistle, Albiol looked relaxed and happy and high-fived Li Ang in celebration.

Varane also smiled shyly and scratched the back of his head under Li Ang's active encouragement.

It’s no wonder that the defensive players in Real Madrid now like Li Ang.

After all, no one can refuse someone who can go forward and help you intercept and defend.

Teammates who drop deep to help you cover your position and always praise you for your good work.

The score of 1-0 in the first half was enough for Real Madrid, who rotated today, and at least met Mourinho's pre-match expectations.

In the second half, Real Madrid still focused on stability. Granada's offensive level is the same as their current league ranking. If Real Madrid pays more attention, there will be no trouble in the defense.

Although the home fans were somewhat unhappy, Mourinho remained unmoved and still insisted on his tactical plan.

If you can defeat a weak team with less consumption, you shouldn't make more unnecessary risky attacks just for the sake of looking good on the scene.

After the 70th minute of the second half, we saw that several of today's offensive players were lagging behind in terms of finishing.

Mourinho simply waved his hand, removed Vazquez, replaced Nacho, and let him partner with Li Ang and Matuidi to play in the back three.

In the 82nd minute, Mourinho replaced Callejon with Essien.

There were sporadic boos again at the Bernabeu.

Even if Real Madrid finally won this round of make-up games at home, the points currently reached 15 points, tying Barcelona.

But it is obvious that Real Madrid fans are dissatisfied with Mourinho's tactics.

There was no ugly expression on Mourinho's face. He remained calm. At the post-match press conference, he also said that he would consider the wishes of the fans more after ensuring results.

But this still couldn't stop the major Western media from reporting on the boos at the Bernabeu the next day.

Of course, Li Ang and the Real Madrid players could not ignore this kind of public opinion.

But what left them all speechless was.

It’s okay for “Daily Sports” to take the lead and stir up trouble at this time. Why are “Marca” and “AS” also following suit and joining in the fun?

At this time, shouldn't these two pro-Real Madrid media outlets first denounce the provocative voices from the outside world?

Li Ang really couldn't figure out the brain circuits of these media.

Fortunately, Real Madrid's coaching team did not get into trouble because of this incident.

Karanka and other coaches are still firmly on Mourinho's side, and the club level is also the first to speak out in public relations.

It not only expressed understanding of the fans' demands, but also expressed support for the head coach.

This public opinion storm seems to have taken a turn when it is about to sweep into Real Madrid.

At least the preparation training within the Real Madrid team continues as usual.

The Real Madrid fans on the other side also restrained themselves from expressing further dissatisfaction with Mourinho.

Mourinho's proactive concession and silence deprived public opinion of the opportunity to completely boil over.

And with Real Madrid's current record, the outside world can't forcefully pick on him.

Of course, Lafayette will not allow anyone to jump out and disrupt Real Madrid's position at this time.

Real Madrid is currently one Club World Cup away from winning six titles this year, and they will also strive to defend their titles in the league and Champions League this season.

If this leads to conflict between the head coach and the fan base, neither he nor Real Madrid will gain anything from it.

There must be stability at this time, both inside and outside the club, even if it is only on the surface.

Lafayette made a decision and asked Sanchez to call Mourinho directly. Once he was given the reassurance, Mourinho was completely relieved.

It happened that the main players had a round of rest, and the next league game was against newly promoted Mala Coruña. Mourinho simply formulated a slightly radical tactical plan.

Before the game, Li Ang happily hugged and exchanged greetings with Belleron, who returned to La Liga.

But it is a pity that Belleron sat on the bench today and did not get the chance to start.

Li Ang did not get a chance to play against Belleron. From the first minute of the game to the 73rd minute when he was substituted, he failed to get up against Belleron.

This was a very regrettable outcome for both him and Belleron.

Deportivo La Coruna was beaten 6-0 in its first game against Real Madrid after returning to La Liga!

This is the score even after Depor goalkeeper Alan Suvia performed well today.

When scoring after the game, Deportivo's defense players all scored below 6.5, and right back Pablo, who was outplayed by Ronaldo, even only scored 4.7.

Only Alan Suvia received a rating of 7.7!

A goalkeeper who conceded six goals can still score such a high score

The offensive desire and offensive firepower shown by Real Madrid today are evident.

Ronaldo, who scored a hat-trick, became the protagonist of the night.

And Real Madrid also relied on a greater goal difference advantage to surpass Barcelona, ​​which had a difficult 3-2 victory over Sevilla in this round of the league, and topped the La Liga list again!

The top two teams in the Western Premier League have each started the new season with six consecutive victories. The intensity of this competition instantly attracted the attention of countless fans from other leagues.

After all, looking at the four major European leagues, apart from the two teams Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the only one that has maintained a winning streak at the beginning of the new season is Bayern Munich.

In the Premier League, Chelsea started with five wins and one draw. They are in good form and are ahead of the Manchester City duo.

Juventus dominate Serie A, boasting the same record of five wins and one draw against Apennines

Outside the four major leagues, French Ligue 1 Paris Saint-Germain, which has attracted much attention in the new season, only scored three wins and three draws at the beginning.

Compared with their investment in Xia Chuang, this performance can only be said to be a stretch, quite a stretch!

Marseille, which started with five wins and one draw, is currently ranked first in Ligue 1, but their record has not attracted much attention from the media and fans.

Now the football world is paying attention to the three teams of Huang Saren, and wants to see which team among them can get the longest winning streak at the beginning of the league this season.

After the sixth round of the various leagues came to an end, in the upcoming second round of the Champions League group stage, the third team of Huangsaren also received the most attention.

On the evening of October 2nd, Bayern and Barcelona took the lead. Their respective opponents were Borisov and Benfica respectively.

Barcelona was relatively stable here. After Messi attracted a lot of defensive attention from Benfica, Sanchez and Fabregas each scored a goal. In the end, Barcelona won another group victory 2-0.

But Bayern is outrageous.

Borisov's away game is not easy to play, but no one expected that Bayern did not even get a point in this away game.

1-3!

Bayern, with all their main players out, lost cleanly at Borisov's home court!

After the first two rounds of the Champions League Group F, it is not Bayern or Valencia that leads the list.

But Borisov, who was recognized as the loser in Group F before the start of the season!

Defeating Lille 2-0 in the first round and beating Bayern 3-1 in the second round, Borisov gave all the Champions League fans a big surprise!

The next day, the front pages of all mainstream sports media in Europe were all about Borisov, who had created a miracle record.

Countless fans exclaimed that the biggest dark horse in the Champions League this season was coming.

Borisov's inspiring results in the first two rounds of the group stage also gave other weak teams in the group a lot of hope.

For example, Ajax will face Real Madrid at home later than October 3rd.

In the first round, the Ajax players were very painful when they were defeated by Dortmund with a goal at the last moment of the game.

But correspondingly, they also gained a lot of self-confidence after that game.

After all, before the game almost no media was optimistic that they could compete with Dortmund.

Their performance against the Hornets at the Westfalenstadion gave Jiafu's young players more ambitions.

They almost scored points when playing away games, and in this game they were at home, so it didn't mean they had no chance to score points from Real Madrid.

Young players still dare to think about this kind of goal, but when it is reflected on the field, it is extremely positive and a little unavoidable recklessness.

After Li Ang greeted De Boer warmly before the game again, he took a look around and found that there were some "familiar faces" missing from the Ajax lineup.

For example, Vertonghen and Van der Wiel performed very well when the two teams played against each other last season.

In addition, some players who played the main role last season have been replaced by younger players this season.

This is how Ajax survives now. If big clubs want to buy players who have performed well, they often will not choose to keep the players, but try to sell them at a good price.

And cultivating better young players is related to their financial income next season or even the next season.

Therefore, it is difficult for De Boer to have a main lineup that can play for two or three consecutive seasons.

These newly replaced young players have never played against Real Madrid before, so naturally they don't have too much pressure in their hearts.

On the contrary, they have more ambition and motivation to perform brilliantly against Real Madrid.

After all, this stage is the best springboard for them to rush to the four major league clubs. There are only a few performance opportunities a year, and if they miss one, they will have to endure another year!

Eriksson, as the clearest one among them, does not have much desire for personal performance at the moment.

On the one hand, he no longer lacks the attention of big clubs, and on the other hand, he clearly understands how powerful the enemy they have to face today is.

After the game started, the pressure he felt last year quickly enveloped Eriksen's mind again.

He looked at Li Ang, who was actively pressing forward with his teammates, and felt that Li Ang was growing too fast.

During the first match last year, Li Ang was still responsible for more defensive tasks in Real Madrid's backcourt.

But after a year's absence, Li Ang has already won five championships with the team and developed a lot of offensive skills.

At this moment, Li Ang seemed to feel Erikson's gaze, turning his head and grinning at this "old acquaintance".

"It's a pity that I played in the left midfield today and didn't get to play against Aeshen. Otherwise, I would have talked to him more."

While feeling regretful in his heart, Li Ang was not slow at all in picking up the ball from Benzema.

At this time, Ajax's right midfielder Sana, who was returning to defense, actively intercepted Li Ang.

When Li Ang saw it, he was not in a hurry to lead the ball and move immediately. Instead, he slowed down his advancement and deliberately waited for Sana.

Sana, who didn't understand why, was overjoyed and quickly reached out to break the ball at Li Ang's feet.

But Li Ang, who had tightened his core, burst forward in an instant, deflecting Sana, and causing a slight confusion in the previously lax Ajax defense!

De Boer didn't know how to scold Sana at this moment.

You, a small forward who is 1.72 meters tall, are going to grab the opponent's tall midfielder who is advancing?

If others slow down the shot, it's obvious that they have ulterior motives. They also mess up their own defenses and stupidly rush into me. I really want to show that I'm crazy!

Eriksen had no choice but to let go of his defense zone and turn around to chase Li Ang.

He cannot let Li Ang put too much defensive pressure on his single defensive midfielder Poulsen.

However, when he placed his position, Li Ang was not polite. Before facing a double-team, he passed the ball to Modric, who had already inserted into the Ajax defensive third zone.

The unmarked Modric dribbled the ball straight to the right side of Ajax's penalty area.

Blind had no choice but to move in and block Modric's path forward.

Only now was Modric satisfied with the split, and he continued to start at right back today. At this moment, Essien, who was almost unmarked, cut inside and easily passed the ball!

Benzema and Callejon had the same idea and went straight to the goal. Li Ang inserted in the middle and jumped high!

Alderweireld had almost no time to observe and judge, and was forced to limit Li Ang's fight for the top.

However, the football finally flew over their entangled figures and began to fall in the area behind the goal!

Ajax right back Van Rijn, who is 1.83 meters tall, was confident at first that he could grab something.

But just half a second after he took off, a figure that almost escaped gravity filled his heart with deep helplessness and despair!

Damn it, it jumped too high! ! !

"Cristiano Ronaldo is taking off——!!!"

Duan Xuan, who was commentating on the Champions League match live today, also let himself go at this moment. He stared in wonder at Ronaldo's almost stagnant figure in the air!

Time did not really stand still, and Ronaldo did not let the fans wait too long for their cheers.

After completing the goal without any suspense, the Portuguese King almost didn't even confirm whether the football had crossed the line before he opened his arms and rushed towards the stands where Real Madrid fans gathered with his head held high and roaring!

In the passionate cheers of more than 7,000 Real Madrid fans, most of the Ajax players on the field were stunned.

At this moment, only Alderweireld, Sime de Jong and Eriksen could barely keep their heads above water.

De Boer looked at this familiar start and didn't know how to describe the fucked up mood in his head at the moment.

In the past two years when they met Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage, Ajax has conceded the first goal in four consecutive games. Counting today's game, it is five consecutive games!

Whether they are playing active offense or squatting in the half-court that they are not very good at, Ajax is always the one who is suppressed and besieged.

There is really nothing we can do about Real Madrid!

The Real Madrid fans were beaming at this moment.

This familiar Champions League opponent and the starting rhythm are right!

This is the taste of another big victory!

Guys, my foodie head is still feeling cold and hot now, and my throat hurts terribly.

I don't know if it's really that unlucky that I'm getting sick again.

I haven't stopped writing much today, and I just finished this chapter. I'll work on it slowly for a while.

If I feel this bad again tomorrow, I will go to the hospital.

I really can't stand it anymore
