Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 158: Rampant Guardiola, is Barcelona going to be doomed?

The football world in 2012 ushered in the annual finale on December 16th.

Calling this year the "Year of Real Madrid" is no exaggeration.

With six championship trophies at the club level in hand, every Real Madrid player can say that he is a winner in life at this moment!

For Alonso, Ramos, Casillas, Arbeloa and other players who are both the main players of Real Madrid's first team and the main players of Spain.

This year is the most successful year in their entire careers!

As long as they have participated in the competition, whether it is the national team or the club, they have harvested all championship honors!

The peak years of life.

Of course, in East Asia at this moment, Li Ang is the absolute focus of discussion among media fans.

If Park Ji-sung had previously created a ceiling for Asian players' honor records in European football, and proved that Asian players can also be successful in Europe.

Li Ang has now broken the honor record, allowing all Asian players to see the possibility of an almost perfect career.

Won six crowns in one year, and won six crowns as an absolute main force and a hero in multiple finals!

Sports media throughout Asia generally believe that there is no need to wait for Li Ang's career to end before comparing him with the top players in Asian football history.

Whether it is Cha Bum-geun, Park Ji-sung, or Nakata Hidetoshi, the comparison between them and Li Ang has become completely meaningless with the birth of this six-time champion.

Li Ang is the number one in Asia!

There is no soy sauce in all competitions, it is the real deal, and it is the first in Asia with full gold content!

The South Korean media may still be a little supportive.

They did not refute the claim that Li Ang is currently the number one player in Asia, but rather euphemistically suggested that at least in terms of the number of goals scored and the total number of championships, Cha Bum-geun and Park Ji-sung are still more dominant.

As a result, there was no rebuttal from the Chinese media, but several Japanese media began to question it.

"Isn't it better to be generous and admit the facts? Or is it that the South Korean media does not believe that Leon can finally win more championships than Park Ji-sung at Real Madrid?

As for comparing the number of goals scored between a midfielder and a forward, I think this behavior is no different from being a hooligan."

Well, as soon as such controversial remarks came out, the public opinion circles in South Korea and Japan started quarreling again, leaving their colleagues in China stunned.

No, our players, what’s the quarrel between the media of your two countries? !

After making some complaints, the Chinese media stopped participating in the debate and focused on praising Li Ang's performance!

Pass and shoot in the Champions League final!

The first person to calmly appear in the penalty shootout in the King's Cup final and score the first goal!

Scored Real Madrid's second goal in the first leg of the UEFA Super Cup!

There were goals in both games of this Club World Cup!

With this kind of performance, no one can find fault.

Li Ang's performance in key battles is worthy of his nickname "Mr. Big Heart".

To put it more bluntly, even if you brag, you can brag more rationally and with more confidence.

You want detailed performance during the game and key contributions on both offense and defense.

Needless to say, the professional media and fans who know a little about football can all see how important Li Ang is to Real Madrid today.

Just talking about a defensive backbone and an exaggerated attendance rate, then Li Ang is irreplaceable.

For other new fans and "data-oriented" fans, it is easier to deal with.

Once the data on goals and assists in this key battle is revealed, it is more convincing than any other professional data.

No one dislikes a clutch hero.

Li Ang himself may be more advocating team victory, and he also prefers to lead his teammates to work as a team to win the game.

But more fans and onlookers don't see it that way.

They like to use this kind of personal data that separates the role of the team to compare different players.

This is quite nonsense, but it is indeed the status quo.

Li Ang is now promoted and packaged as such a "key hero" by various media in East Asia.

After the public opinion fermented, Li, who has not yet left Japan with the team, can fully appreciate the "enthusiasm" of the country's fans.

Before the joy and excitement of winning the six-time championship lasted for a few more days, Li Ang had to face in person the young Japanese fans who had previously loved him so much.

At the impromptu meeting that lasted less than two hours, Li Ang and Ronaldo once again became the most popular Real Madrid stars at the scene.

The one-stop process of signing autographs, taking photos and hugging is essential.

Li Ang's attitude was normal and he followed the club staff's procedures, but it was basically impossible for him to be more enthusiastic and friendly.

If this was an activity in China, let alone two hours, Li Ang would be able to persevere enthusiastically for another two hours.

Not to mention double standards or anything like that, the treatment our fans receive must be the best.

For Japanese fans who have a good life in their childhood, Li Ang can only treat them politely on the surface.

After all, he doesn't want to make money in Japan, so there is no need to learn a few simple Japanese words to express friendliness like his teammates did.

The club's overseas publicity manager saw that Li Ang was unwilling, so he didn't insist. He was still very considerate of Li Ang's emotions.

However, the person in charge may not have expected that Li Ang would eventually receive a "very polite and well-educated" evaluation from the Japanese media and fans.

After having their last meal locally at noon that day, all members of Real Madrid took the time to get on the plane back to Madrid.

It was another twelve-hour flight. When they arrived in Madrid, Real Madrid's players had already reached the point of going to bed.

But it is four o'clock in the afternoon in Madrid at this moment, and even in winter, it is the time when the sun is shining brightly.

There were many Real Madrid fans who came to pick them up at the airport. After the Real Madrid players took out the Club World Cup championship and held a short but warm celebration with the fans at the scene, they also transferred to the bus and headed to the Harvest Goddess Square.

The remaining five championship trophies have been prepared on the bus, which is full. Even just looking at it, the Real Madrid players feel very happy and satisfied.

But after all, it is not a championship celebration at the end of the season, so the layout of the scene is naturally not too elaborate.

On a simple high platform, under the witness of countless media and Real Madrid fans, players from the Real Madrid first team appeared one after another amidst thundering cheers.

Then came Mourinho, Karanka, Ruiz, Pintus and other members of the Real Madrid coaching staff.

After Lafayette appeared and gave a simple speech to congratulate the players and coaches, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak.

Six championship trophies were placed in front of the stage, followed by the first row of Mourinho Real Madrid players squatting down, and then the row of Mourinho Real Madrid players standing up.

Members of the coaching staff are lined up on both sides.

But just before the media prepared to take pictures, Li Ang and his teammates looked at each other, and then several people took out several small dolls with photos of the players' faces from behind.

Several people happened to have one in each hand, holding these dolls in front of themselves.

At this moment, the noisy fans and reporters took a closer look, and those dolls happened to be the Real Madrid players who had left the team one after another in the past two seasons after Mourinho took office!

Kaka, Khedira, Gago, Granero, Ras Diarra

Among them, even Altentop and Shaheen, who almost played soy sauce last season, are on the list!

This scene was obviously only known to the players in advance, because both Lafayette and Mourinho looked surprised.

However, they both reacted and took the lead in applauding!

The Real Madrid fans at the scene were even more excited, screaming and cheering at the top of their lungs!

Everyone says Real Madrid is impersonal.

Judging from the club's handling of certain transfers, Real Madrid does meet this evaluation.

But at least today's group of Real Madrid players proved that they are a very humane and united team.

This six-time champion belongs to them, but they have not forgotten that there is a group of brothers who have left. No matter how much their contribution is, this six-time champion has their share!

In this way, all members of Mourinho's Real Madrid appeared neatly in the reporters' cameras for the first time.

Such a historic but extremely warm picture made everyone present have mixed feelings.

Mourinho was also very touched.

He had thought about the players who left the team before, and some of them did not meet his tactical requirements, but he was still grateful.

He gave every one of these players who left the team a chance.

It is undeniable that some players may still have resentments when they left the team, but as time went by, there was only understanding and respect between them and Mourinho.

So at this moment, Mourinho was relieved to see these players appearing at Real Madrid's celebration party in another way.

Lafayette pulled Sanchez over at this moment, and he didn't know what he was whispering, but looking at the joy on Sanchez's face, it would be something beneficial to Real Madrid.

The evening's celebration came to an end amid the carnival of the fans.

The players of Real Madrid were also very happy, but they had no more energy to enjoy the wonderful nightlife after holding on until the celebration was over.

Li Ang fell asleep after being driven home by his assistant.

He slept from ten o'clock that night until about eleven o'clock the next day, and then Li Ang woke up with a comfortable laziness.

As expected, their actions last night made headlines across the European media.

The neat arrangement of the six championship trophies is very eye-catching.

However, the dolls with photos of former teammates held by Li Ang and the others were the focus of the media reports.

All the former members of Mourinho Real Madrid who knew about this incident were very moved.

Li Ang now received text messages of thanks from Kaka and Brother Face.

After receiving a reply, he got up and took a shower. The nutritionist he had hired had already prepared lunch in advance.

Today is a day off, and the entire Real Madrid team will not start recovery training until the morning of December 19th.

But for Li Ang, he only needed to rest for half a day. After eating a sumptuous pre-training meal, Li Ang drove directly to Valdebebas.

His long pass ability value successfully exceeded 84 after playing the previous La Liga game against Real Betis.

It feels like the recent progress has been a little faster than before, and Li Ang can't be idle anymore, so he wants to spend more time practicing long passes.

This Christmas holiday is just the right time to make a breakthrough. By then, the long pass value will really break through to 85, and Li Ang will be ready to re-adjust the focus of additional training.

There is a stage plan, and Li Ang feels that he can complete it slowly, and his heart is always at ease.

And seeing Li Ang appearing in the training base as scheduled, Mourinho also felt very at ease.

In the next round of the league, Real Madrid will face Malaga, who are currently ranked fourth in La Liga and have also successfully reached the knockout stage of the Champions League.

If it were before the start of the Club World Cup, Mourinho wouldn't be too worried. Even if it plays away, Real Madrid, with all its main players, can still win Malaga.

But now Real Madrid's main players have just returned from playing in the Club World Cup. It will take time to eliminate the fatigue and jet lag from this long journey.

If Malaga is sure to win at this juncture, Mourinho will really be speechless.

Fortunately, Li Ang's condition adjustment is as stable as ever, and Li Ang can still perform normally, so Real Madrid's midfield defense is still guaranteed.

Thinking of this, all members of the Real Madrid coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief.

In the following four days, Real Madrid's main players, who had resumed their normal training rhythm, were slowly recovering.

But overall, Mourinho is not particularly satisfied.

Because Di Maria and Arbeloa had minor muscle strain problems, Alonso was also directly recommended by the team doctor to sit out the next round due to muscle fatigue.

This adds a lot of trouble to Mourinho's formation.

Fortunately, the remaining core players such as Ronaldo, Li Ang, Pepe and Ramos are fine.

Otherwise, Mourinho will definitely not be able to continue to calmly think of a solution at this moment.

All La Liga fans are looking forward to the final round of league battles before the Christmas holidays.

Among them, Malaga VS Real Madrid, Valencia VS Getafe, Valladolid VS Barcelona's powerful La Liga dialogues naturally attract the attention of fans the most.

But just one day before the war started, "Asian Newspaper" suddenly broke the news.

They published the breaking news that Barcelona executives and Guardiola had a complete falling out due to disagreements after many meetings.

According to reports, Guardiola has brought the conflict to light with some players in the Barcelona locker room.

However, some players, relying on their familiarity with the club's senior management, will no longer take Guardiola's punishment warning to heart.

When this report came out, few Real Madrid fans took it seriously, and Real Madrid players were even more unaware of it during training.

But in the afternoon, when all the major media in Spain began to reprint and follow up the exclusive news of "AS", the fans in the entire La Liga circle could not sit still!

The Barcelona club officially released news refuting the rumors in the afternoon. As a result, just after nightfall, Guardiola stated on his personal social media that he had indeed submitted his resignation application to the club.

"There are no strange reasons speculated by the media. I feel mentally exhausted, so I submitted my resignation application. It has nothing to do with the players."

Guardiola's statement was very subtle and did not involve any senior Barcelona officials. He also specifically stated that it had nothing to do with the players.

But in the current public discussion, no one cares about this.

Barcelona fans were in great pain, and many even chanted pessimistic slogans of "We are finished!"

How happy these Barcelona fans were when Guardiola announced that he had renewed his contract with the club for two years last year, they are just as uncomfortable now.

From the perspective of Li Ang, who has learned about the matter at this moment, Guardiola's departure is a normal thing.

Because in his memory, Guardiola had already thought about leaving last year.

Because the current Barcelona is no longer under his "control".

Whether it is that the top management no longer fully supports his team building concept, or that some existing Barcelona players no longer obey his discipline.

He would not accept it if either of these two things happened, let alone two things happening together now.

When Guardiola announced the contract extension, Li Ang guessed that Guardiola had reluctantly endured it and wanted to lead his proud disciples such as Messi and Iniesta to achieve better results.

Perhaps, he didn't want to see Barcelona completely suppressed by Real Madrid when he left office.

But now it seems that Guardiola is still the same Guardiola.

Even though he appears to be more graceful and calm on the court.

But in the locker room and on the training field, he is actually an absolute "tyrant"!

At his core, he is not much different from Mourinho. They are both paranoid and "madmen" who are firmly loyal to their own tactical concepts.

Therefore, when facing betrayal, even if they think they can endure it, the paranoia and unruliness in their bones will not allow it.

Barcelona, ​​this time they have lost their meritorious coach forever.

There is a shortfall of 13,000 words, but fortunately tonight I feel that my ideas are still smooth.

I will send you as many codes as you want tomorrow.
