Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 146 We are here, Real Madrid is here! 【Please subscribe! 】

Gotze's misfire prevented Dortmund from opening up the offensive end.

After watching the first half hour of the game, even the fans who trust Gotze the most have to admit.

Li Ang's performance on the defensive end has completely made up for his current lack of offensive methods.

And the forward penetration ability he has shown is enough for the time being, just what Real Madrid needs.

Taken together, there is no need to compare Gotze and Li Ang anymore, because there is no comparison.

Gotze is an excellent offensive genius and a super offensive core who is destined to occupy a place in football in the future.

But Li Ang can reach the height of building the core of the team in the future.

And this team can be a wealthy team!

So from this point of view, as long as the fans are clear-headed, they should not compare the two together in the future.

Li Ang completed the "education" of another rising star born in the 1990s through head-on suppression.

But I don’t know if he pressed Gotze too hard today, forcing Klopp to directly change the core of the offense in the first half.

Gotze's ball rights began to decrease.

Instead, it is Royce who currently relies on his sharp speed to cause continuous defensive pressure on Real Madrid.

The young Rocket, who has only returned to Dortmund for less than half a year, has already conquered Westfalen with his wonderful and strong performance.

And when the team encountered offensive setbacks, he didn't even think about shrinking.

He has shouldered this responsibility and has the confidence and confidence to lead his teammates again.

This confidence and confidence comes from his success in Borussia.

It can be said that Royce has slightly surpassed Robben and has become the most threatening right winger in the entire Bundesliga.

Last season, he played 37 times in Borussia Mönchengladbach, and his statistics were 21 goals and 12 assists.

Robben, on the other hand, played 36 times with Bayern and handed over personal data of 18 goals and 7 assists.

The common feature between the two is that they are relatively fragile.

If he can make 45 appearances in a single season, Royce's personal data should be 25+15.

It was not difficult for Robben to score 20+10 last season.

The ability to average close to one goal per game is exaggerated enough for a winger in this era.

Moreover, Royce's current performance in Dortmund is only slightly lower than that in Borussia last season.

You know, after he moved to Dortmund, his tactical positioning has declined, and he no longer enjoys the status of the only offensive core.

Under such circumstances, Royce can still maintain the stability of his data, which is really commendable.

This shows that he is a young high-quality winger who is not too demanding in the system and has guaranteed hard power.

Marcelo was overwhelmed by the sudden attack, and Essien, who had been able to help withstand the defensive pressure before, also began to frequently call for support from his teammates.

After all, he had been seriously injured and was getting older.

Now Essien is actually not afraid of some so-called technical and strong offensive players.

His confrontation ability is still there and he has rich experience.

It is when facing the explosive winger that Essien feels very tricky.

After all, if you can't keep up with the speed, you can't keep up. If someone takes two steps at the speed, they will throw you away. If you move slower, you won't even have time to commit a foul.

Before this, when Royce didn't have much possession of the ball, he could team up with Marcelo for a header.

But when Royce became the main offensive point, Essien could only leave this defensive problem to his father.

Mourinho looked at Royce who was constantly disrupting the situation on his left side, and once again missed Coentrao who was still in the hospital bed.

"I heard that this young man was given up by Dortmund's youth training camp?"

Karanka looked at Reus, who had almost single-handedly disrupted Real Madrid's defensive system, and smacked his tongue.

With such a fierce performance, he was actually abandoned by Dortmund's youth training camp?

Even if Royce's confrontational ability was poor back then, with such explosiveness and technical potential, Dortmund's youth academy should also protect him and cultivate him slowly, right?

What kind of shortcoming is the difference in confrontation? Just wait until the young players grow up and gradually gain weight scientifically.

Gain a little more every year and lay a solid technical foundation. Gaining weight will not be difficult at all.

Karanka is still complaining about the vision of Dortmund's youth academy in selecting talents.

But now Mourinho is frowning and thinking about how to restrict Royce's further performance.

"If Li Ang and Essien switch positions, it should be effective, but Gotze's side."

After a little tangle, Mourinho decided to move Li Ang to the left midfielder first.

Solve the biggest defensive problem first, and then consider the overall defense.

After making the decision, Mourinho quickly gave tactical instructions to the players on the field.

After seeing Mourinho's move on the sidelines, Klopp also breathed a sigh of relief and signaled Gotze to take more balls in the future.

Tactical adjustments have helped this. If Gotze can't show a convincing performance against Essien, it will be really unjustifiable.

Gundogan is still sitting on the Dortmund bench, and Klopp may make a substitution at any time.

This pressure forced Gotze to explode with all his strength.

Lewandowski's condition has gradually improved over time.

Even though there was not much time left in the first half, Real Madrid maintained a 1-0 halftime lead by relying on its comprehensive contraction at the last minute.

But Mourinho knew that he had to come up with a response plan at halftime.

When Essien was resting in the locker room, he generously admitted the problem with his condition today.

In the first half of the first half, he felt that he was playing well, but after being blasted from point to point by Royce, Essien knew that he needed to adjust.

This is not about running away from the battlefield, nor is it about Essien losing his determination to fight to the end.

Several veterans in the Real Madrid team can understand what Essien means.

By replacing him, the new players may perform better, which is beneficial to the entire team.

If he is not replaced, he will try his best to fight until the end, but his performance in the second half may still be a little worse.

The choice now lies in Mourinho's hands.

In the end, for the sake of safety, Mourinho did not choose to make halftime substitutions immediately.

Essien continued to stay in the game, but at the beginning of the second half, he could no longer restrict Gotze's performance in the middle.

Li Ang was restrained by Royce and stayed on the left side of his own backcourt.

Klopp was brave enough and chose to press the whole line at this time.

If Li Ang supplements the defense in the middle, Royce will hold the ball and attack fiercely. If Li Ang does not move, Dortmund will concentrate its forces to attack Real Madrid's midfield.

Lewandowski still didn't get many opportunities to catch the ball in the Real Madrid penalty area.

But Gotze and Reus took turns taking long shots from both sides of Real Madrid's penalty area!

The threats came quickly and fiercely.

Casillas contributed three wonderful and important saves in just ten minutes!

Between continuing to defend and counterattack, Mourinho did not hesitate anymore and made his decision in the fifty-seventh minute of the second half.

"Modric is about to play, he is replacing Essien! Modric is about to replace Essien! Then Real Madrid's tactical thinking may also change!"

Duan Xuan's tone was very surprised.

Such a substitution is not in line with Mourinho's general habits and style.

But if you think about it carefully, Mourinho has actually made many such risky tactical decisions in the past year.

For example, the original offensive battles with Barcelona and Bayern.

Real Madrid has used the final victory to prove that their offensive ability is completely at the top level in Europe.

Last season, they were able to win against Barcelona and Bayern after letting go of their offense. This season, Real Madrid has no reason to be afraid of Dortmund.

Klopp dared to go all out and attack Real Madrid, so what does Mourinho have to worry about?

It would be really embarrassing if we were really stunned by Dortmund's offense at Westfalen and ended up losing the game!

Looking at the substitutions that were about to be completed on the sidelines, Ronaldo and Di Maria finally had an outlet for the frustration accumulated in their chests.

They actually wanted to give tactical advice during the halftime break.

It’s not that they exclude defense. In the past, they didn’t care about playing Barcelona. But today, when playing Dortmund, they should defend carefully at the beginning.

Are they worse than Reus and Gotze? !

Fortunately, Mourinho has figured it out now. Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria are also excited and just want to devote all their energy to the offensive end.

Dortmund's tactical deployment has been completed, Real Madrid has also quickly completed substitution adjustments, and the confrontation between the two teams has become increasingly intense.

Benzema's header after receiving a cross from Ronaldo in the 60th minute of the second half seemed to be a signal.

Real Madrid sounded the clarion call for a comprehensive counterattack, and they also have a crazy obsession with offense!

Li Ang and Modric took turns to deliver offensive shells.

When there is a better opportunity to counterattack, Alonso's precise guidance is a sharper strike weapon.

Real Madrid played lively here, and Dortmund, who had unified their tactical thinking earlier, was no less generous.

The emptiness of Real Madrid's defense in the second half finally gave the Hornets' offensive trident a broad enough stage to perform.

Lewandowski's catching and hitting skills are quite good, and his solid shooting skills also began to threaten the goal guarded by Casillas.

In the 66th minute of the second half, when both teams were attacking at a furious pace, Royce, who was in particularly good condition today, stepped forward first.

He failed to get a chance to hit the goal after breaking into Real Madrid's penalty area because he was tripped by Pepe's slightly delayed kick!

The referee on duty immediately punished Real Madrid for a foul in the penalty area.

Pepe didn't get a card. After all, his defensive move was completely slow this time, and he didn't mean to hurt anyone intentionally.

Faced with this hard-won penalty kick opportunity, Lewandowski took it in one fell swoop!

He decisively and boldly kicked a half-high ball aimed at the center of the goal!

Casillas gambled to the right side of the goal and failed to become the hero who turned the tide again.

But at this time, all the Real Madrid players were aroused in their hearts!

After the game restarted again, Real Madrid picked up the speed again, and the combination of wing and center continued to impact Dortmund's defense!

At this point in time, it is actually time to slow down the pace of the game.

After seventy minutes, players on the field will inevitably make some technical mistakes.

Dortmund is no exception.

No matter how young their players are and how capable they are of running the ball.

After playing against Real Madrid for almost 70 minutes, and they were running more overall, it was unrealistic to imagine that they would push forward tirelessly and double-team defensively like they did in the first half.

The physical effects of Real Madrid's hard training by Pintus are slowly showing.

If you have more energy and can rush more, in the final stage of the game, the performance of Real Madrid players will naturally be more stable and lasting.

Dortmund's old captain Kyle was the first to fail and suffered thigh cramps in the 77th minute and was replaced by Gundogan.

Seeing that Real Madrid still had no intention of slowing down the pace of the game, Klopp couldn't sit still and walked to the sidelines, his eyes full of surprise.

He could actually make a decision at this moment to have all Dortmund players shrink back into their own half and keep the tie.

But he didn't.

He still didn't believe that Real Madrid could play like this to the end, and he also believed that his frontcourt disciples could still seek opportunities to overtake the score.

He wants to win, and he wants to maximize profits in his adventures!

There seemed to be an inexplicable look of madness in Klopp's eyes behind his lenses.

In contrast, Mourinho's eyes, sitting not far from him, were full of calm.

In the 79th minute of the second half, Dortmund continued to launch an offensive on the right. Royce cut in strongly and then fired a low shot into the near corner of the goal.

Casillas' save was a little slow, but Royce's shot also missed a little, and the football finally hit the outside of the post and bounced off the baseline.

The 70,000 Hornet fans at West Falun covered their heads and sighed!

The Spanish Movistar commentator exclaimed, and then suggested that Mourinho should simply defend first and not let Dortmund break his unbeaten streak this season.

Mourinho was unmoved, and Real Madrid's players remained unmoved.

They are still firmly implementing offensive tactics.

Marcelo has completely transformed into a left winger, and Ronaldo moves inside the Dortmund penalty area to seek finishing opportunities.

In the 84th minute, Real Madrid lost the ball again and were counterattacked by Dortmund.

But this time Gotze did not bring the ball to Real Madrid's penalty area, because Li Ang used a thirty-meter pursuit interception to make him become the backdrop again!

Alonso caught the ball on the spot and launched a long pass to counterattack!

Marcelo used an almost perfect offload to get through Dortmund's right defense!

But then his cross was grabbed by Hummels and pushed out of the penalty area.

Modric grabbed a point from the outside of the penalty area and then separated again.

Dortmund's penalty area was still in chaos because of Real Madrid's last attack, but another cross from Real Madrid soon came again!

Aveiroa's cross this time was very powerful!

The flat and fast arc reflects the super fast ball speed.

Subotic, who had regained his position, was about to take off and fight for the top spot.

But a figure appeared in his sight almost instantly, carrying the wind and determination to complete the summit summit in front of him!

The football, which already carried huge kinetic energy, was changed in direction by the powerful impact!

Weidenfeller only felt an afterimage appearing in front of his eyes, whether it was a person or a ball!

The football finally plunged into the net in the far corner of the goal with a trajectory that was difficult to catch by sight!

And the figure who was rushing to the top, after landing awkwardly and staggering for a few steps, roughly took off his jersey, revealing the bronze muscles of his upper body that were knotted and covered with sweat beads!

"Leon——!!!!!!"

Duan Xuan shouted the killer's name crazily in the studio!

Li Ang, who rushed towards the corner flag area, roared and opened his arms to celebrate by sliding and kneeling!

And the Real Madrid players who were also going crazy had already swarmed up, slapped and hugged Li Ang tightly, and fell to the ground together!

All the Real Madrid players on the bench rushed out, and Mourinho directly knelt down and roared exactly like Li Ang on the turf in front of him!

The home fans of Westfalen were in dead silence!

In the huge stadium, only 10,000 Real Madrid fans cheered wildly!

They are roaring and announcing to the whole world ferociously!

We are here, Real Madrid is here!

At the top of the football world, challenges from all enemies are waiting for you!
