Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"If there is no principle of avoiding the same country, I hope that Valencia will be drawn in the quarter-finals. It will be so comfortable. It will be like playing two more league games and not having to take a long-distance flight."

"Then you have such a beautiful idea. It's okay to draw Porto and Celtic, but don't draw Donetsk and Galatasaray. It's freezing over there!"

"Hey, I think about the away game in Moscow last season. The turf and the weather~"

"The frosted artificial turf at Santa Maria is a nightmare! Stop it, it will be terrible if it happens again this season!"

"Actually, if you ask me, I would have won Arsenal and Milan."

"you shut up!"

After the daily training on December 7, the Real Madrid generals, who were receiving massages and relaxing in the physiotherapy area, chatted about the subsequent Champions League knockout rounds.

At first, everyone was chatting happily, until Li Ang joined in and spoke.

But before he could finish his words, he was suppressed by his teammates.

"Your mouth has magic power, but don't say it. We will be drawn to Arsenal and AC Milan. We are not afraid, but we will have to spend more energy and energy."

Brother Long, who had been watching the excitement before, spoke up now and tapped Li Ang's forehead, signaling Li Ang to stop "doing this".

"By the way, is the little lion familiar with neon? We are going to neon soon. What fun and delicious food is there?"

Callejon, who had never been to Japan before, asked Li Ang with interest.

However, his question stopped Li Ang.

Li Ang has watched a lot of neon movies, well, the normal ones. When it comes to playing and eating, he barely understands them.

But to be honest, for my European teammates, Japan's food culture and some small and exquisite landscapes may be attractive.

But he himself couldn't name any attractive features.

If I really want to eat and play, if I have enough time, I might as well fly to the nearby Jiaodong Peninsula for a couple of laps after the game.

It's a pity that the schedule is tight, so flying is definitely not possible.

Li Ang tilted his head and thought for a moment, then finally shook his head and decided not to make random introductions.

He wasn't even interested, let alone Callejon, who thought he was perfunctory.

The discussion in the physiotherapy area became more and more enthusiastic. No Real Madrid player would think that they could not win the Club World Cup.

This is not inflation, but the confidence we should have. Chelsea could lose to Corinthians on the historical line because Chelsea was already in a rebuilding period at that time.

Today's Real Madrid is at its peak. In terms of hard power, it is the best in Europe, and it is no different when playing against champion teams from other continents.

Just press them to death. Why are there so many twists and turns? In the end, if you can't even beat Corinthians, then what's the point of defending the Champions League?

Forget being eliminated as soon as possible to avoid the embarrassment of Bayern later.

Real Madrid's first-team players, who were in a relaxed mood, talked and laughed and began to look forward to the wonderful feeling of winning the six-time crown.

As for the fifteenth round of La Liga that will come the next day, they are not worried at all.

Mourinho chose a complete rotation in the last round of the Champions League, so Real Madrid's main players got enough rest.

Real Madrid will have all their main players in this league, even though Valladolid is currently surprisingly ranked seventh in La Liga as a newly promoted team.

But in the eyes of Real Madrid's main players, there is not much difference between the seventh team in La Liga and the teams in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga.

Facts have proved that Real Madrid's current first team's main players do not think this way because of inflated confidence.

In the midfield La Liga match the next day, Real Madrid did completely suppress the scene at Valladolid's home court.

According to their usual playing style, Real Madrid would not be so proactive in attacking and suppressing the game at the beginning.

But in order to let his disciples adapt to the new playing style in the Club World Cup, Mourinho simply used Valladolid to "practice".

It has to be said that Valladolid's backcourt defense, which has only conceded fifteen goals in fourteen league rounds, is indeed an excellent whetstone.

Faced with this midfield and backfield defensive system that can be said to be ranked among the top four in La Liga, Real Madrid opened up its arsenal and played with both wings and central penetration.

Li Ang also invested heavily in offense today, but his offensive luck may have been exhausted in the last round against Atletico Madrid.

In the last round of the league, he passed and shot, which was very enjoyable.

But this time, after two long-range shots slightly missed the crossbar and flew out, Li Ang knew that he was not lucky to score today.

However, his active interspersion and distribution still created more offensive opportunities for his teammates.

Valladolid took advantage of Real Madrid's massive pressure to counterattack and scored two goals at the end of the game. This was a rare highlight moment for their entire team.

However, it was difficult for Valladolid fans to be happy after conceding five goals.

Real Madrid stopped after seventy minutes, thus conceding a full number of goals. This really severely dampened the confidence of the Valladolid team.

However, they are a newly promoted team after all, and it is inevitable that they had faith in official data before.

Other teams in the top six in La Liga, such as Malaga, Real Betis, and Getafe, all understand that when they encounter Real Saga Atletico, they must honestly lower their psychological expectations and be done with it.

Looking at the record and points, it can be seen that Royal Sa is the only team in the league and is not a La Liga team at all.

Atletico Madrid has now climbed up. The record before was also impressive, and it was also stable against other La Liga teams.

The results of it? When I met Real Madrid, I was simply taken advantage of!

So, now you can look at the official data of La Liga, but you have to put aside the data of Real Madrid before looking at it.

The comparison is also with other normal La Liga teams.

Atletico Madrid is now almost on the verge of downgrading other La Liga teams, let alone Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which are still in their prime.

After harvesting enough confidence and happiness, and leaving Valladolid with enough frustration, the Real Madrid team happily rushed back to Madrid overnight.

After a full night's rest, on the morning of December 9, the Real Madrid coaching staff and the team boarded a plane to Japan.

At this moment, European and East Asian media have also begun to vigorously promote the Club World Cup.

Just like when Barcelona went to Japan at the end of 2009.

The entire football world is waiting for the moment when Real Madrid will truly win the sixth crown.

Of course there are teams that don't want to see this scene. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are naturally the clubs with the strongest resistance.

But again, even if they hate Real Madrid, they have to admit that Real Madrid is the only big devil in football.

Real Madrid has won 99% of this six-time crown, and teams from East Asia and America cannot stop it!

※※※

After Li Ang and his teammates sat on the plane for twelve hours, they were somewhat exhausted.

Even though they had slept briefly several times on the plane, there was still unconcealable exhaustion in their eyes.

The only good news may be that it is already around five o'clock in the morning in Japan, and not many local Japanese fans came to pick up the plane after receiving the news.

So the Real Madrid players took the bus to their hotel smoothly.

At this moment, Li Ang and his teammates were the same. After a brief rinse, they went directly to bed and fell into a deep sleep.

They slept from six o'clock in the morning in Japan until around two o'clock in the afternoon. Only then did Real Madrid's players wake up one after another to wash up and eat.

Don’t worry about jet lag, Real Madrid’s first training session in Japan will start on time at four o’clock.

Pintus La was doing physical training today, so once the two-hour training was over, even the most energetic Real Madrid stars had to be put down.

If you go to bed on time tonight, there will be no problem in returning to the normal rhythm of two training sessions tomorrow.

And just when Real Madrid was actively adjusting their status, the sports media throughout East Asia had already become restless.

In the morning, pictures of Real Madrid arriving at the airport in Japan in the early morning were already publicized on the Internet.

Major sports newspapers and magazines in East Asia have begun to compete for publicity and coverage.

The reporter team of China Radio 5 set off for Japan that morning.

In the evening, as soon as Real Madrid's training ended, a large number of reporters waiting on the sidelines finally got the chance to interview the players.

"Leon! Here, here!"

Li Ang, who had not had time to return to the locker room to rinse and change his jersey, heard He Wei's call and trotted over with a wave and a smile without minding it.

The rest of the Real Madrid players told reporters that they needed to go back to the locker room to sort out their personal images.

So when they saw Li Ang generously accepting interviews from Chinese media, reporters from South Korea and Japan could only wait with envy.

Li Ang's hair has now been cut short and is slightly longer than the short cut, so he doesn't look sloppy even with some beads of sweat.

Under the winter light of the evening, Li Ang's smiling handsome face, wet with sweat, clung to the jersey, and his strong muscles that looked particularly prominent just broke into the camera lens of Wutong.

Because it wasn't a live broadcast, Li Ang didn't feel anything embarrassed. He generously greeted the domestic audience first.

Some of the questions He Wei asked were relatively friendly, and Li Ang also briefly talked about Real Madrid's prospects for the Club World Cup this time.

But while he was being interviewed, the South Korean and Japanese reporters on the other side quickly took multiple interview photos of him.

A few minutes later, online sports forums in Japan and South Korea exploded, and then topics related to Li Ang spread throughout the Internet.

Good guy, when the discussion started, the fans in South Korea and Japan, as well as the melon-eating netizens who were watching, became uneasy.

"This is a powerful young player. His strength is enough to represent the highest level of Asian players today, and his appearance also surpasses most male stars in the Asian entertainment industry today."

A well-known Japanese sports journalist’s personal social media statement received a large number of likes and retweets.

The picture under his caption of Li Ang holding the Champions League trophy and shouting in celebration last season has once again spread on the Japanese Internet.

Many Chinese fans actually don't understand it after seeing the current situation of Japanese public opinion manipulated by big hands in the country.

If Japan produces a super genius similar to Li Ang, then there may indeed be many fans in China who would prefer such an East Asian genius.

But it is definitely not as popular as in Japan, and there are even a lot of admiring and praising speeches.

There has also been heated discussion about Li Ang in South Korea, but the media is still calm at least. Li Ang deserves to be praised as the "Light of Asia" or something.

Public opinion in Japan is almost shaping Li Ang into a "perfect idol" in East Asia.

"Our little lion is handsome and honest enough, but we're not as good as they brag about, right?"

Many domestic fans began to complain.

Some guys even started a thread to discuss the root cause of this phenomenon.

The "Mu Qiang" remarks made by an old fan who is now working abroad in Japan are hit the nail on the head and directly solved the doubts of domestic fans.

"If Li Ang had not achieved these achievements, one less Champions League, or one less league, these Japanese media would not be so exaggerated.

But it is because of Li Ang's outstanding performance both on loan and after returning to Real Madrid, and he almost won the club's Grand Slam honor in just over two years of his career.

Therefore, his achievement of breaking the Asian ceiling, coupled with his appearance and age, quickly gained unconditional praise and recognition from Japanese fans and media."

This statement is quite reasonable. In addition, this old man is now working in Japan and can personally experience the fermentation of public opinion in Japan, which naturally makes his speech more authentic and credible.

Li Ang also felt more and more that something was wrong.

Because whether outside their hotel or on the road outside the training ground, more and more Japanese fans have held up slogans in support of him in the past two days.

This concept of "many" is not as simple as adding hundreds to a thousand people.

The number of people suddenly increased from a few thousand to over ten thousand!

By noon on December 13, Li Ang's support team, almost entirely composed of young girls, stopped outside the Real Madrid hotel shouting slogans. Li Ang was completely confused!

"Damn it! You are so popular in Japan! Little Lion, you are not kind! You originally said that you have no fan base in Japan!!!"

When Ma Pengpeng saw this support team composed of hundreds of young women, he was the first to hold back and stretched out his hands to grab Li Ang's collar.

Li Ang could only wave his hands with a grimace at this moment.

This is really an injustice to him. He has never been to Japan for activities, never before, and he never played with the Japanese team in the year he was in the National Youth Team!

This was his first time coming to Japan to play a game with his team, and he had never done any publicity. How could he have known that he could be so popular in Japan!

Fortunately, Karanka smiled and came over to help Li Ang out.

In order not to cause greater sensation and trouble, Li Ang did not show up in front of these fans in advance.

The hotel and Real Madrid club staff came forward to comfort the enthusiastic fans outside.

After learning that Real Madrid would stay in Japan for a day after the Club World Cup was over, and that Real Madrid's stars would also meet them, most of the fans followed the advice and dispersed slowly.

However, a large number of fans of Li Ang and Ronaldo were still waiting outside the hotel, including Li Ang's personal signing team composed of hundreds of girls.

In the end, Li Ang couldn't bear it anymore. When he took the team bus to the competition venue in the afternoon, he opened the curtains of the car window.

He displayed a handwritten note of thanks and urging the girls to go home as soon as possible on the car window. Of course, it was written in English.

He didn't know if it would have any effect, but at least he gave what he needed to do.

But he didn't see the group of little girls in the crowd who were almost crying with excitement as he closed the curtains again, as well as the Japanese media who kept taking pictures around them.

So before the start of the game where Real Madrid played, a piece of news about "Leon female fans crying with excitement" became popular in the three East Asian countries.

Moreover, in Japan, the focus of public opinion is not the discussion of whether these girls may have chased the wrong stars, but that Li Ang's "consolation" was too considerate and heartwarming.

Fortunately, Li Ang no longer paid attention to the public opinion situation outside the game.

Therefore, these topics that praised him did not make him want to pick his feet again.

At 6:30 pm, the well-prepared Real Madrid started the first match of the Club World Cup against Monterrey Club amid the loud cheers of more than 40,000 local fans.

Toyota Stadium, which was supposed to maintain a neutral attitude, almost completely turned into Real Madrid's home court in this game.

Of course, with Real Madrid's full-scale performance and the production of six goals, the fans at Toyota Stadium just felt happy and excited!

The Japanese commentators and special guests who commented on the game that night also exclaimed repeatedly.

"This is the true level of the first wealthy family!"

Well, in fact, Real Madrid still took it easy. After scoring four goals in the first half, they only scored two goals in the second half and called it a day.

Li Ang did not receive an assist today, but he scored a powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area, which can be regarded as repaying the local fans' support for him these days.

After sweeping Monterrey 6-0 without any suspense, Real Madrid and Corinthians will start the final battle for the Club World Cup championship on December 16.

And it was also after the game that the Real Madrid team didn't stay much, so they packed up and rushed to Yokohama.

The finals will be held at the Yokohama International Arena in Yokohama City.

The Real Madrid players who just finished stepping on the field that night immediately felt like they were playing in a Champions League away game.

There's just no pressure.

Even though Corinthians are also a well-known football giant in South America, to be honest, the feeling they give Real Madrid generals is not much different from a team in the middle of La Liga.

Mourinho did not change his tactics in the final. He still pressed forward strongly at the beginning, completely suppressing Corinthians' midfield rhythm and attacking.

Corinthians' defense is still good, at least much better than Monterrey.

In the first twenty minutes, Real Madrid failed to crack their defense.

However, in the 22nd minute, Real Madrid, who got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt, showed their absolute advantage and dominance in the field of high-altitude balls!

Li Ang borrowed Pepe's cover in the middle of the penalty area and successfully pushed forward to overpower Corinthians' senior center back Chi Kang and completed a head-turning attack!

His powerful charge took the lead in knocking off Corinthians' goal, and also successfully opened Real Madrid's path to victory!

Corinthians resisted quite fiercely and seemed to want to create a miracle.

But after they pressed out to try to attack, Real Madrid quickly counterattacked with two crisp steals to make them realize the reality!

4-1!

At the end of the game, Real Madrid defeated Corinthians with three goals without any suspense, and finally won their last championship trophy of the year!

The more than 70,000 fans at the scene were also very excited. After all, they were able to witness the historic moment when Real Madrid won the sixth crown of the year. No matter how many years have passed, it would be extremely enviable to recall it!

Before the official start of the award ceremony after winning the championship, Li Ang specially found Corinthians' No. 8 midfielder, comforted him, and exchanged jerseys with him.

This player is called Paulinho.

"Your future is in Europe, don't be discouraged, work hard!"

Paulinho was very grateful for Li Ang's encouragement.

After a series of arrangement procedures, the DJ on site cheered loudly.

All members of Real Madrid finally held the Club World Cup championship trophy high on the podium!

At this moment, they completed their six-time crown in 2012!

And Li Ang has also set off a frenzied wave of "perfect idols" in East Asia!

This state is so bad, ugh

It is impossible to ask for leave!

There is a shortfall of 7,000 words, so I’d better count it in full. Foodies will remember it, and the big guys will also help me remember it.

The foodie continued to write slowly.

But I probably won’t be able to post the second chapter tonight.

I don't believe it, hard top, can't get over this state!
