Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Mourinho received a dinner invitation from Florentino on the night after the game against Levante.

Karanka was also on Lafayette's invitation list, and with him that night, he met and dined with two Real Madrid coaches, including club CEO Sanchez and the head of public relations.

This was not a completely private dinner, because photos of several people meeting and greeting each other and entering the hotel quickly circulated on the Internet.

Obviously, Lafayette expressed his attitude personally at the end. He just wanted to show the outside world that he supported Mourinho.

Even if he doesn't really like some of the conservative tactics Mourinho sometimes arranges.

But he can distinguish between public and private matters, and he also knows that internal stability is the most important thing for Real Madrid at this time.

As soon as these photos were circulated, public opinion immediately dropped.

At least the Real Madrid fans who were still complaining before have sobered up now.

After all, if you think about it carefully, Mourinho only criticized the media the day before, and he didn't say anything bad about his fans at all.

After today's game, Mourinho and his players repeatedly thanked the Real Madrid fans who traveled with the team.

Comparing the public opinion environment and vocal attitudes of both sides, this small group of Real Madrid fans also felt the shortcomings of their approach this time.

If the fans don't participate, no matter how much "Marca" and "AS" dance happily, at least Real Madrid's basic front is:

The players, club, coaching staff, and fans have all stabilized.

It can only be said that Lafayette's gesture was indeed very timely.

When Li Ang saw the relevant news that night, he knew that no matter how this wave of public opinion developed, there would be no problem within the Real Madrid team.

If Lafayette doesn't want chaos, then whoever touches it will suffer severely.

And don’t look at the back-stabbing of Madrid’s two major newspapers without any psychological pressure.

When Real Madrid wins the Club World Cup in December and truly becomes the six-time champion, then these two newspapers will definitely be the ones hyping it the most.

He finally saw through that the so-called club mouthpieces were actually all about profits first.

Each of these news media is a family, and they are all those who have breasts and are mothers, and they can fall out with each other at any time.

The most important thing is that Real Madrid, including Lafayette, has not been able to completely fall out with these two newspapers.

If you are unhappy, you can only endure it, and continue to cooperate if necessary in the future. It is all a matter of interest.

What Li Ang remembers is that at the end of 2012, "Marca" dug into the conflicts in the Real Madrid locker room and almost tore apart Mourinho's Real Madrid.

But later, Real Madrid Club and "Marca" still cooperated like nothing happened.

There must be more considerations at the club level, and Li Ang can understand it.

But in comparison, Li Ang still prefers Mourinho's handling method.

I can take one or two steps back from you, but if you still dare to force me to take a third step back, then stop playing around, I will just flip the table!

Public opinion will be disgusted, but at least this tone is out. If he leads the team to win the championship later, these media will still have to post and ask for interviews.

After feeling relieved, Li Ang thought for a moment and sent a message to his teammates in the chat group to "alert" his teammates.

The general idea is actually very simple, that is to say, the brothers should try not to accept interviews from any reporters in the near future.

Not to mention being pushed around, it might even make the club's senior management dissatisfied, which is totally useless.

This reminder is actually normal, because Li Ang has often spoken in the group to praise the recent performance of his teammates, and sometimes occasionally complained about the public opinion traps reporters deliberately dug when interviewing him.

All the Real Madrid players in the group knew that Li Ang didn't like to deal with popular newspaper reporters.

So it makes sense for him to specifically post these words tonight.

We just won the game in the afternoon, and the other Real Madrid players were in a good mood, and they all responded jokingly to tease Li Ang.

After seeing a positive reply from captain Casillas, Li Ang put down his phone with satisfaction.

For others, a reminder might be enough, but for his old captain, Li Ang felt it was necessary to always find opportunities to keep his mind clear.

After all, the female reporter is Casillas's bedfellow, so it's too easy to tell a story.

After some reminders about turning, Li Ang also touched the back of his head with emotion.

"I'm really heartbroken that this family won't be broken up."

※※※

On the morning of November 13, after a day off, the main players of Real Madrid's first team reported to the training base and started normal preparation training.

Barcelona won again in the last round of the league, beating Mallorca 4-1. This result also made Real Madrid's first team players completely lose interest in paying attention to the league standings in real time.

There is no need to expect their biggest opponent to lose their lead. The only thing they need to do now is to focus on maintaining their own form.

Real Madrid should still need to play six more league rounds before the Christmas holiday.

But because Real Madrid had to fly to Japan to play in the Club World Cup during this period, the sixteenth round of La Liga will definitely be postponed.

Therefore, the current league goals of Real Madrid generals are very simple.

Before the Christmas holiday comes, win another five consecutive league victories, and then spend this Christmas without any psychological burden!

With a short-term goal in mind, everyone's performance on the training ground was also very positive.

Mourinho, who had just received Lafayette's promise of support, was also relieved. He has been praising people on the training ground a lot more recently.

On November 16, the well-prepared main players of Real Madrid followed the coaching staff and set off for Bilbao in advance.

Although Athletic Bilbao only finished tenth in the La Liga last season.

But whether it is the players of Real Madrid or the fans of Real Madrid, they dare not take this tough Basque Lions lightly.

For the sake of insurance, Mourinho did not rotate an important main player.

The 4-2-3-1 starting formation showed his respect for Athletic Bilbao.

But after the two sides started, the players on the field of Real Madrid really felt the sharp decline in the strength of Athletic Bilbao.

With the departure of Javi Martinez and the cold storage of the main center Llorente, Athletic Bilbao has suffered a great loss in both offense and defense.

Mourinho still underestimated the serious decline in the morale of Athletic Bilbao.

It was actually okay when Bayern paid a penalty to force Martinez to dig him in the summer window. The main reason was that Athletic Bilbao was too ruthless and cold in dealing with Llorente's transfer.

It is understandable that players have the desire to join a wealthy club.

Especially after seeing Martinez successfully transfer to Bayern, Llorente, who had performed well in the previous few seasons, naturally had the idea of ​​taking his career to the next level.

But he hit a wall. The top management of Athletic Bilbao refused to let him go.

Just like when they refused to let Martinez go to Real Madrid.

Bayern finally forced Martinez to dig him by paying a penalty.

But Llorente, who is almost 30 years old now, naturally did not get the treatment of being forced to dig.

He felt very angry and did not understand why his home team, which he had worked diligently for nearly ten years, treated him like this.

But the top management of Athletic Bilbao also had reason to be angry.

Their business philosophy was to only use players of Basque descent, so they always pursued a policy of "more in, less out" in transfers.

Unless the main players they bought are old, no longer in good shape, or their contracts have expired, they will basically not actively sell these main players during the contract period.

It can be said that Athletic Bilbao rarely actively sells its core players.

Martinez was forced to dig in the summer window, and even though they received a 40 million penalty, the anger of the Athletic Bilbao executives was far greater than their joy.

At this time, they are still fighting with Bayern, complaining and suing, so Llorente's transfer application is completely in the crosshairs.

The two sides couldn't reach an agreement, and they felt very annoyed. The Athletic Bilbao executives, who were even more angry, directly pressed Llorente to death on the bench after introducing veteran Aduriz.

An outstanding center forward who is at the peak of his career, and a genuine youth training of Athletic Bilbao, is really useless.

How can the rest of the Athletic Bilbao players not be affected?

When Li Ang saw Llorente sitting on the bench before the game, he felt sad.

It is difficult for Llorente to make a breakthrough after sitting on the bench for a year.

Even if he successfully transfers to a top team, he can only play the performance he once played in Athletic Bilbao.

This top center forward in La Liga, who played 53 times, scored 28 goals and assisted 6 times last season, was ruthlessly abandoned by his own team!

This cold reality made Li Ang's mind more and more clear in the game.

Li Ang can't say that he has prejudice and disgust towards Athletic Bilbao's approach.

After all, this is also part of the business. Athletic Bilbao acts according to the contract, and there is nothing to say.

But he just feels that his mood is very agitated.

He needs to vent!

So today, Athletic Bilbao forwards Gomez and Susaeta, who were ambushing behind Aduriz, were in trouble.

After playing for about 20 minutes in the first half, neither of them dared to take the ball too much in front of Li Ang.

It was completely blocked!

Li Ang's excellent defensive performance made Athletic Bilbao's offense particularly difficult.

After all, Aduriz is still a traditional center forward who needs teammates to support and deliver shells.

Li Ang cut off the connection between the other two forwards and him, and it was useless for him to stand in the penalty area of ​​Real Madrid.

On the contrary, Real Madrid had no shortage of ball possession in the counterattack.

In the 28th minute of the first half, Ronaldo received Modric's lob pass and scored the first goal of the game.

On the Athletic Bilbao side, Muniain had pressed across the half court, but he was completely helpless in the face of Li Ang's ruthless sweeping and interception.

He Wei was extremely excited by this scene. In the studio, he directly spit out a string of commentary that was destined to become a classic quote again:

"I can't get past Li Ang, but I'm not qualified to face Pepe and Ramos!"

What else is there to say about blind dates, big guys.

The daughter of my mom's friend is a Chinese teacher in a primary school in our small county, one year younger than me.

But the foodie really doesn't want to talk about this now, so he treated her to a meal and a cup of milk tea and left.

How can a worker like me fall in love when we don't have enough money and don't even have a motorhome?

If we really can't fall in love, we'd better not delay others.

After earning money to buy a motorhome, let my parents feel at ease before talking about this, the foodie still has this idea in mind.

Thank you for your concern, the foodie will code some more drafts now, and the big guys should also rest early~
