Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

A true brave man will not be afraid of hardships and dangers, and move forward steadily towards the goal they aim at, with a rock-solid heart.

The braver ones, on the other hand, never think about retreating when facing an opponent that is stronger than themselves. They will fight to the end regardless of the situation.

Dortmund is such a braver person today, and their spirit deserves the publicity and praise from the German media after the game.

After being defeated by Li Ang, Klopp stood on the sidelines and accompanied his disciples until the referee blew the whistle.

Royce's physical energy was basically exhausted.

When the whistle sounded, his tense spirit relaxed, and his forward pace suddenly became unsteady.

Li Ang caught him in his own half.

His hand was very steady, and he patted the other party's already soaked head.

"You played well today Marco, now you can relax a little."

A fluent German came out of Leon's mouth, which almost made Royce, who fell in his arms, jump away in surprise.

"Have you lived in Germany, Leon?"

"That's not true. When I played with Muller last time, I tried to communicate with him, but he ignored me, so I learned German by myself after I went back~"

Leon gave a random excuse, and when Lewandowski, who was nearby, came over to check the situation, he handed Royce directly to him.

Dortmund fans were not in a hurry to leave, they were saddened by the eventual 2-1 loss to Real Madrid.

But when they saw the Dortmund players who were already fighting to the limit of their ability on the field, a sense of pride suddenly rose in their hearts!

Sincerely proud!

Last season, after returning to the Champions League after many years, they were so ambitious that they finally swallowed the bitter pill of being eliminated from the Champions League group stage.

Still eliminated at the bottom, not even able to play well in the Europa League.

Compared with those teams that play in the Champions League all year round, last year they indeed lacked experience in the Champions League and their performance was too immature.

A record of one win, one draw and four losses stung the hearts of every Dortmund fan.

This is an expensive tuition fee, the price they must pay to return to Europe.

But one season later, they were able to play back and forth with the defending Champions League champions, and even almost tied with the opponent at their home court!

As a youth team in the Champions League, to be able to perform like this after spending a rookie season, Dortmund fans have enough reasons to be proud of their team, their coaches and players!

A warm applause broke out first from the South Stand of Westphalia.

Then came the East and West Stands, the North Stand, and eventually spread to the entire Westfalenstadion!

Dortmund's old captain Kyle walked onto the court at this time, encouraging his teammates and encouraging his little brothers.

The other young Dortmund players also gritted their teeth and held their heads high, holding out their tired chests and applauding their fans to show their gratitude!

The pain after the defeat was no longer in Klopp's eyes.

He stood upright on the sidelines, patting the club emblem on his chest like a winner, thanking the fans.

Karanka looked at the scene in front of him and felt both physical and psychological shock.

After a long while, he opened his mouth to give Mourinho a serious warning.

"If this team doesn't meet us before the finals, they should be our biggest problem in defending our title this season!"

Mourinho's eyes were solemn, and he originally wanted to nod in agreement subconsciously.

But he suddenly thought of the current Bayern Munich team that had introduced Martinez and had completed its defensive evolution.

Is Dortmund really stronger than Bayern Munich now?

If he remembers correctly, Schalke 04, which defeated Dortmund in the last round of the Bundesliga, was completely unable to fight back against Bayern.

A big question mark appeared in Mourinho's mind.

The joy of three consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage has been diluted a lot by such a comparison of strength.

He took one last look at Westfalen, whose momentum was soaring into the sky, shook hands with Klopp briefly and then walked into the tunnel.

Real Madrid's players on the field finished their farewell to their fans and returned to the locker room neatly.

Li Ang originally thought about chatting with Gotze, but now he has given up his mind.

"Goodbye at the Bernabeu."

After muttering silently in his heart, Li Ang and his teammates left with victory.

They don't need to think too long-term like their head coach.

It's time to enjoy the fruits of victory in the first stage of the Champions League group stage.

※※※

In the last round of the first group stage, Real Madrid played harder than expected.

Dortmund seems to be in good shape after the first two group matches, and it can be said that they are proud of their defeat.

But on the morning after the end of this round of the Champions League group stage, neither Real Madrid nor Dortmund caused the biggest wave of public opinion.

Because just when the two teams were fighting last night, Ajax next door suffered a big upset and beat Manchester City 4-2!

This result triggered enthusiastic discussions among fans from all walks of life. The reversal was full. The bottom three teams in Group D would really have to prepare for a big brawl!

Real Madrid currently has a strong three-game winning streak and ranks first in Group D with nine points. Dortmund has one win, one draw and one loss and ranks second in Group D with four points.

Ajax ranks third with three points. Manchester City, the worst team, has two losses and a draw, and is now at the bottom with only one point.

Ajax fans successfully did sit-ups, and after defeating Manchester City, some fans cheered in surprise.

They are still alive and even have hope of qualifying for the Champions League group!

Manchester City, which the British media had previously placed high hopes on, may not even be able to reach the top 16 of the Champions League, let alone the quarterfinals.

As one of the Premier League's cards in this year's Champions League, even if it is assigned to the group of death, being at the bottom is really unjustifiable.

Many Manchester City fans will have their minds blown.

From confidently winning Ajax, overtaking Dortmund and ranking second in the group, to being beaten and desperate to be at the bottom.

Their mentality changed so drastically in one night.

Don't talk about ambitions at this moment. First try to beat Ajax in the next round and keep your hope of qualifying first!

While the British media are lamenting about Manchester City's situation, the Western media are vigorously promoting the outstanding performance of the four La Liga teams in the Champions League this year!

Real Madrid and Malaga both achieved three consecutive victories in the first stage of the group stage!

After Valencia lost to Bayern in the first round of the Champions League group stage, it showed no mercy against Lille and BATE Borisov and won two consecutive victories.

And currently, because of their goal difference, they have surpassed Bayern and ranked first in Group F!

The four La Liga teams are all ranked at the top of their respective groups. To achieve this result after the first stage of the group stage, it is no wonder that the Western media are inflated with confidence.

Of course, for Real Madrid, which has fought the most tough battles and has the most convincing record, the Western media has once again increased their publicity and praise.

This kind of public opinion propaganda is somewhat in line with La Liga and UEFA's campaign.

In the past few seasons, it was Barcelona that enjoyed such public opinion.

It is a pity that Barcelona did not seize the opportunity to defend the Champions League, otherwise their dream of the third dynasty would only become more powerful and terrifying.

As the leading team in La Liga today, Real Madrid's revival and rise is still in line with the interests of La Liga and UEFA.

In the eyes of the two major interest groups, whether it is Barcelona or Real Madrid, they will praise whoever is stronger and wins.

The reason is very simple.

However, Real Madrid players, who have suffered from adverse public opinion in previous seasons, are basically immune to the favorable public opinion.

Every Real Madrid player knows how they went all the way to win the championship last season.

Every truth Mourinho says is hard to hear, but he's right.

Don't pay too much attention to what the media says during the season, it will only affect their own preparations.

The winner takes all, and the Real Madrid players who have experienced this kind of ecstasy are not slacking off yet.

They also want to experience the great feeling of winning in the end a few more times!

It's still very early in this season.

Continue to adjust their status step by step and achieve their performance goals at each stage. This is more important than anything else.

And with top players like Li Ang and Cristiano Ronaldo in the team, other Real Madrid stars who are pursuing it really can't relax even if they want to.

The two of them had just rested for half a day after returning to Madrid, and they started chatting in the group to make an appointment to go to the base in advance for recovery training.

As a result, the next morning, the players from Real Madrid's first team who had just played the game basically arrived at the training base early.

This battle shocked Mourinho!

Fortunately, none of the Real Madrid players who have just finished playing in the Champions League are trying to imitate Liang and Cristiano Ronaldo and will start training soon.

Most of them come to the training base in advance for physical examination and physical therapy recovery.

So while the training ground was bustling, Valdebebas' physiotherapy area was also bustling.

This proactive recovery attitude makes both Karanka and Mourinho happy.

The players are motivated and they certainly won’t be idle.

Before the next Champions League group match, Real Madrid will play two rounds of league matches and one Copa del Rey match in La Liga.

In addition, the Champions League group stage will start again with Dortmund on November 6.

The intensity of the competition was immediately raised.

This is equivalent to four games in two weeks, which is completely inconsistent with the one-game-a-week rhythm for the main players that the team doctor believes is the most reasonable.

So, you still have to rotate.

At least for this round of the Copa del Rey, Mourinho will definitely use a pure rotation lineup.

Facing opponents in Segunda B, Mourinho's confidence in Matuidi and Modric is completely sufficient.

At that time, Li Ang can stay at home and rest completely, and there is no need to press the battle.

On October 27, Jose Rodriguez was officially promoted from Castilla to the Real Madrid first team.

Naturally, several big brothers from Castile congratulated him again.

The current 19-year-old Jese has surpassed all the attackers in Castillari.

He has contributed 7 goals and 4 assists in the Spanish Second Division this season.

You know, the La Liga League has just finished ten rounds, and Jese has already averaged one goal per game.

No wonder Mourinho is confident not to supplement attackers in the summer window.

Is this big baby in his own camp? He just needs to be promoted to the next team.

Jese can't stand up to any member of Real Madrid's attacking trident yet.

But it's more than enough for him to serve as a rotation substitute.

As soon as the Copa del Rey begins, and the main players of Real Madrid's first team will frequently rotate and rest in the league, Jese will have many opportunities to play and practice.

On the evening of October 28, in the ninth round of La Liga that started on the island of Mallorca, Real Madrid used a half-main and half-rotation lineup to defeat Mallorca with three goals.

Jese not only got a chance to play in this game, but also played the entire second half.

Before being replaced in the second half, Li Ang used Benzema's cover to advance to the left side of Mallorca's penalty area with the ball, and deliberately distributed the ball to this kid to let him perform.

Jesé did not live up to Li Ang's trust in him. He confidently passed the opponent's defender Conceição in the Mallorca penalty area, and then passed the ball straight to the back of the goal to help Ronaldo score another victory!

This series of technical actions is very coherent, and Movistar's La Liga commentator even said bluntly:

"This talented youngster is not showing off his skills and excellence, he is showing off his talent, pure talent!"

Yes, the 19-year-old Jese's performance on the court is to fully demonstrate his talent.

At least at this moment, almost all fans and commentators watching this game believed that Real Madrid would gain another outstanding talent from their own youth training.

Just like Li Ang at the end of 2010.

The same nineteen-year-old, the same promoted by Mourinho.

However, the talent displayed by Hesse in this club was much stronger than that of Li Ang at that time.

The attention and treatment he currently receives is much better than that of Li Ang at that time.

He has all the talent and tools to succeed and he should succeed.

After Real Madrid received his first assist, Jesé quickly attracted the attention of the media and the huge Real Madrid fans.

On the evening of October 31st, Jese made his first start for Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey.

Facing Alcoyano of Segunda B, Jese directly contributed 70 minutes of passing and shooting performance.

Morata scored twice, Callejon and Modric each scored one goal.

In the end, Real Madrid won a 5-0 victory at Alcoyano's home court!

There is actually nothing to predict or say about the outcome of this game. The opponent is too weak after all.

However, the outstanding performance of Real Madrid's rotation players still makes Real Madrid fans happy.

Real Madrid also maintained its unbeaten record of 16 games in all competitions since the start of the new season.

Compared with last season's crazy winning streak, Real Madrid's record this season is slightly "normal".

Both the Spanish Super Cup and the league have tied with Barcelona.

It is not as strong, and there are many fewer big-scoring games, but it also seems more stable.

However, Barcelona has not lost its crotch this season. When Real Madrid is undefeated, Barcelona still remains undefeated in the league.

Therefore, the two teams are still leading the La Liga standings with the same points in the league, and they cannot separate or get rid of each other.

It really highlights a competition of patience.

As for their two teams, it was the teams in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga that suffered the most.

On the afternoon of November 3, Malaga took the lead in kicking off the tenth round of La Liga.

However, they failed to get off to a good start and were unlucky to lose 1-2 to Rayo Vallecano at home.

Barcelona, ​​who played second, still maintained a stable game state.

With a solid 3-0 victory over Celta Vigo, Barcelona refused to be upset, and Messi also used his passing and shooting performance to maintain pressure on Ronaldo in the top scorer list.

After the Barcelona game, Real Madrid took the stage to compete with Zaragoza in the tenth round of the league.

In this game, it is really difficult for Real Madrid to be upset by a comeback.

Facing Zaragoza, the current deputy captain of the league, Ronaldo ended the suspense of the game in the first half with a neat hat trick.

Higuain, who started the game, also scored a goal in the second half.

However, today Di Maria and Benzema, who replaced Ronaldo in the second half, did not seem to have much desire to attack.

Real Madrid had no intention of slaughtering the bottom team. After a simple 4-0 match, relying on the goal difference advantage, Real Madrid overtook Barcelona and ranked first in La Liga!

The two top teams in the Western Premier League are in love with each other and both have a record of nine wins and one draw in the league. It seems that they are really heading for the momentum to determine the outcome in the second half of the league.

Behind them, Atletico Madrid's current record is also unexpectedly beautiful.

With eight wins, one draw and one loss, the new Atletico Madrid transformed by Simeone is very powerful. After correcting Diego Costa and letting him partner with Falcao, Atletico Madrid's record took off all the way.

Compared with the match scenes where the two teams of Real Madrid and Salvador are aggressively attacking, Atletico Madrid is now unique in the league with its tough offensive and defensive performance.

Their offense is not bad, the number of goals scored is only behind Real Madrid, and the number of goals conceded is second only to Real Madrid, ranking second lowest in La Liga.

This kind of data performance is very eye-catching, and the toughness on the field has almost become Atletico Madrid's new label.

The era of chaos in La Liga officially kicked off at the end of 2012.

Atletico Madrid carried a machete and fought all the way to the goal of the top two in the Western Premier League.

They are going to force their way into the table and share the meat!
