Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 161 Is it a three-front battle or a two-front battle?

If you say that a person who works hard enough in the field of work has no goals and ambitions is basically nonsense.

Not to mention Li Ang, the liver emperor who worked hard to relive his youth.

In today's football world, which player dares to stand up and say that he works harder than Li Ang in training?

No, no player dares to say this.

Li Ang has worked so hard that he is recognized by his peers, the media, and fans as the hardest-trained player in active service.

Do you think he is ambitious?

There must be some!

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Ang is actually quite outstanding now.

At the age of 21, he has received so many honors and is already ranked among the top five in the world at the same position. What else do you need a bicycle for?

But after Li Ang won the Triple Crown with the team last season, what he was thinking about was no longer the first person in the same position.

He has the confidence to climb towards higher goals!

Of course, he would not be so stupid as to reveal this ambitious goal right away.

But he knew very well in his heart how passionate that ambition was!

He and Ronaldo are very close teammates, friends, and brothers who can trust each other 100% on the field.

Seeing Ronaldo crying at the celebration, he was very emotional and sincerely happy that Ronaldo had proved himself once again.

But this pure brotherhood and blessing did not prevent him from having a stronger desire for the Golden Ball trophy in Ronaldo's hands.

Not only him, but Neymar sitting next to him, Iniesta and Falcao sitting in the first row.

Who among them doesn’t have eyes filled with the desire for the Golden Globe Award?

It is completely normal to have such emotions at such an awards ceremony.

However, Li Ang's inner reason finally suppressed this ambition and desire.

After all, today's Zurich is Ronaldo's home court, and perhaps, in January next year, Zurich will also be Ronaldo's home court.

He didn't want to cause trouble to the friendship between himself and Ronaldo just because the media photographed him with facial issues.

A trace of thought flashed across Li Ang's eyes that regained clarity.

Then there was a smile on his lips again.

When Ronaldo's speech of thanks ended, thunderous applause erupted from the scene, and Li Ang was naturally among them.

The subsequent sessions were a bit boring for Li Ang.

Fortunately, the entire ceremony went smoothly and there was no waiting for too long. Li Ang and Neymar, who could not sit still, waited for the end of the celebration.

After there was no live TV broadcast, the two young people walked outside the celebration hall together to get some fresh air.

"I really envy you, Li Ang. We are almost the same age. You have already won the club's Grand Slam honors in Europe and met so many star players, while I am still in the Brazilian League."

Neymar made no secret of his admiration for Li Ang during the chat. Li Ang also smiled when he heard this and simply extended the invitation.

"Then if you come to Real Madrid, it won't take long for you to be like me. The replica trophies at home can fill a whole shelf of honor!"

Hearing Li Ang's joke, Neymar also laughed happily for a while.

"Let's take a look. It's still very early before the European football summer window opens, and anything can happen. However, after watching the awards ceremony tonight, I have to go back and take a breather."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Cristiano Ronaldo performed so well last year, he was like a hungry beast and still has great interest in reaping glory.

But I also want to win the Ballon d'Or~ If I really come to Real Madrid, I think it will be difficult to make a difference within three or four seasons. "

Neymar's jokes were mostly jokes, and Li Ang also laughed.

Afterwards, the two casually chatted about some topics, exchanged each other's contact information, and then said goodbye.

After FIFA's annual awards ceremony, players from all walks of life basically chose to fly back overnight.

After all, everyone has a tight schedule now. Regardless of whether they get the honor cake tonight or not, after tonight, it’s time to get ready for the other events in the second half.

The players have returned to their training bases to continue preparing for the game, but for the fans, the lively discussion has just begun.

The topic of Melo's competition has been heated up. This time it was the turn of Cristiano Ronaldo's fans to show their displeasure, and the two sides were quarreling with each other again.

But at this time, Mendes also jumped out and became popular with a photo with his coaches and players after the ceremony.

Among them, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mourinho and Li Ang stood close to Mendes, so countless fans had to lament that Mendes's vision of seeing people is so accurate!

One is currently the most popular and discussed, and is almost rated by the fans as the strongest head coach currently in service.

One is one of the two current football kings who won the Ballon d'Or with his six-time crown in 2012.

The remaining one is almost recognized by fans as the most popular star born in the 1990s.

Mendes already holds the present and future of football in his hands. It is no wonder that fans are very interested in his vision.

However, Mendes' players and Mourinho were not in a good mood at this moment.

After returning to Madrid, they didn't even have time to take a few days off to celebrate the annual harvest of honors.

Because they only have the last day and a half to prepare, the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals is about to start at the Bernabeu.

To be honest, this tight domestic cup schedule after the Christmas break is annoying.

Not only the players are annoyed, but also the fans of La Liga.

Because during this period, a large number of teams in La Liga have to play both league and domestic cup competitions.

Among them, there are many middle and lower-tier teams who are worried that the two-front battle will affect the league's relegation, and finally choose to strategically abandon the King's Cup competition.

Then the problem arises.

Which fans would like to watch this kind of Copa del Rey game filled with rotation and even youth training players?

During this period, the Copa del Rey has been packed with events and the number of matches has increased, but the quality of the matches is really disappointing.

Similar feedback, anyway, La Liga teams also give it every year.

But there is no choice. The schedule of the King's Cup is still incomparable, and it must be concentrated in the coldest period of winter.

Anyway, after playing all four rounds of the Copa del Rey in a hurry in January, the Spanish Football Federation likes to arrange the remaining two rounds at the end of February and mid-May.

Mourinho complained a lot in the tactical meeting again, but in the end he had to lead the main players honestly to face Celta Vigo at home at the Bernabeu.

In the last round of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid sent out an almost purely rotating starting lineup and lost 1-2.

The main players are all out today, and Mourinho doesn't want to engage in any stable tactics anymore.

If you play at home, you have to press hard!

Before the game started, Ronaldo showed off the Ballon d'Or at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid stars such as Zidane, Ronaldo, Raul and Beckham were either present in person or recorded videos to send their blessings.

Good guy, the momentum of the Bernabeu's home court immediately increased. The Celta Vigo players looked at it with fright and envy.

Many South Korean media reporters on the sidelines originally came to the Bernabeu today for starter Park Ju-young.

As a result, Park Ju-yong has now been put aside, and the superstar team of Real Madrid caught them and started filming wildly.

After the game officially started, Celta's starting players still held their breath and wanted to express themselves at the Bernabeu.

As a result, Real Madrid, which was full of firepower from the beginning today, did not give Celta a chance to test offensively and defensively.

In the opening stage, Alonso's two long passes to Ronaldo directly caused Celta's defense to shrink and retreat.

Park Ju-yong, who the South Korean media had placed high hopes on before the game, performed even worse.

Before even facing Li Ang, the first time he held the ball in the opening game, Matuidi grabbed his body and staggered.

It cannot be said that there will be no opportunities to perform with the ball in the future, but the performances become more abstract each time.

At the end of the first half, I thought of a quick and powerful breakthrough, but was stopped by Li Ang with the ball.

This is how Park Ju-young ended his performance in this game.

Four attempts were made, none of which were successful.

Thirteen passes were passed and nine were successful.

Tried once for the top spot and failed.

Two fouls were committed and the ball was lost five times.

Zero shots.

These were Park Ju-yong’s statistics in the first half. It’s no wonder that Celta Vigo’s head coach replaced him at the end of the half. It was useless.

Celta Vigo is currently barely strong enough to avoid relegation. Facing Real Madrid, they still wanted to get the start, but the final result was quite miserable.

6-0!

Another bloody score.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick, Benzema passed and shot, Callejon and substitute Higuain also scored.

After reaching the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey with a hearty victory, Real Madrid's players couldn't rest and were about to prepare for the 19th round of La Liga with Osasuna.

What's even more terrifying is that Real Madrid will play six games in a row in the remaining 22 days of January!

It has a proper rhythm of two games a week, and the types of events are quite balanced, with three league games and three Copa del Rey games.

At the beginning, Mourinho was mentally prepared and considered using a pure rotation lineup in the Copa del Rey to cope with the transition.

But when the draw results came out, the faces of all members of the Real Madrid coaching staff changed.

Real Madrid's opponent in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals was Valencia.

It only took Valencia three league rounds to break into the top six in La Liga from tenth in the La Liga standings!

Valencia, which has won three consecutive games, has visibly regained its game form.

However, choosing Valencia is actually not the most perverted thing.

The most perverted thing is that Real Madrid's two rounds of Copa del Rey matches against Valencia were also interspersed with a 20th round La Liga match against Valencia.

This is really the same as playing against Athletic Bilbao last year.

If the match between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao hadn't been postponed, they would have had to play three rounds in a row.

So now a more realistic multiple-choice question is placed in front of the Real Madrid coaching staff.

Should we force ourselves to consume and continue fighting on the third front?
