Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Li Ang, who successfully started warming up with his teammates at the Emirates Stadium, probably didn't expect it.

He just said hello to the reporters in a good mood, and it was immediately written up in the news. It also became a hot topic in English football.

Fortunately, he did not choose a backhand when playing "V", otherwise the British media might have dared to label him as "discriminating against Arsenal".

To some extent, journalists in England are indeed better at keeping things organized than those in Spain.

No, the game hasn't even started yet. With all the publicity and hype, the British media is definitely at the top level in Europe.

The top executives of UEFA are also smiling when they see the news.

Last night, the two knockout matches between Juventus and Celtic, and Paris Saint-Germain and Valencia, became even more popular.

It's far less popular than tonight's showdown between Real Madrid and Arsenal!

The British media's propaganda efforts are not cover-up.

Regardless of whether Milan and Barcelona agree or not, the battle between Real Madrid and Arsenal was directly crowned the most exciting matchup in the quarter-finals.

Don't many melon-eating people just like to follow the trend and see a gimmick?

Many netizens who followed the trend, whether they were fans or not, turned on the TV and watched the live broadcast tonight.

Before the game started, as soon as UEFA's live broadcast source was turned on, the ratings data began to skyrocket!

The fans in China were also painful and excited and turned on the TV or computer at around three o'clock in the morning.

But tonight not all fans chose to watch the Champions League live broadcast on the five channels they are most familiar with.

A considerable number of old Premier League fans chose to open the Sina Sports live broadcast room and watch the Champions League games on their computers.

And their reasons for watching Sina Sports live broadcast are also the same.

Because of Zhan Jun.

Since returning to China to join Sina Sports in September last year, Zhan Jun has become known to more and more domestic fans for his professional knowledge reserves and excellent commentary skills.

You have to say that in the past, most domestic fans had no choice when watching games. There was no better free platform except Wutong.

But now with the gradual popularization of computers, some domestic fans are naturally pursuing a better audio-visual experience.

This is not to say that He Wei and Duan Xuan are not good enough, but Wutai often lets them lead people.

It would also be good to have a guide with you at ordinary times.

But seeing that it was Xu Yang who was commentating with Duan Xuan tonight, many fans who could watch the game on the computer were naturally more inclined to watch the commentary by Zhan Jun and Xie Hui.

The difference in understanding of football can be heard from the very beginning.

In the Sina Sports studio late at night, as the live broadcast started, Zhan Jun and Xie Hui also made opening remarks to the fans in full spirit.

As the players began to appear with the referee team, Zhan Jun also talked about the recent performance of the two teams without any delay to introduce the status of the two teams to the fans.

"Arsenal has only drawn one match against Liverpool in the past three league rounds. Facing Stoke City and Sunderland, Arsenal has won relatively steadily. The entire team's current state is improving rapidly. pick up.

Before the game, Arsenal's head coach Wenger also said that he was quite satisfied with the team's preparations and was confident that he could perform an efficient offensive and defensive performance at home. "

"Yes, as the second half of the Premier League season progresses, Arsenal's condition is indeed improving visibly to the naked eye.

However, facing Real Madrid today, the psychological pressure on the Arsenal players should still be relatively high. I hope they can maintain a good mentality while playing tactical style."

The two briefly chatted about Arsenal's recent team status, then the conversation quickly turned to Real Madrid and Li Ang.

At the beginning of January, at the end of FIFA's annual awards ceremony, the entire Chinese sports circle was elated because Li Ang entered the top 20 of the Ballon d'Or!

In fact, just relying on Li Ang to shine alone can hardly be said to be the overall progress of Asian football.

But the birth of such a record is self-evident in its inspiring significance to the entire Chinese and Asian football.

At least there is Li Ang, the new flag of Asian players after Park Ji-sung.

All real strivers in the football field in Asia will gain more motivation.

Xie Hui is one of the doers who really wants to devote himself to football in a down-to-earth manner.

He is currently still studying in Germany. When he returned to China recently, he originally wanted to take a two-month break before returning to Germany to continue his coaching courses.

But when he received an invitation from Sina Sports to commentate on the game between Real Madrid and Arsenal, he agreed without saying a word.

Recently, he is interested in learning more about Li Ang's previous youth training experience and loan training process.

He was also happy to accept the opportunity to commentate on Li Ang's important games with a professional commentator like Zhan Jun.

Regarding Real Madrid's current tactical style, the two of them only talked about it briefly, otherwise it would be too much to talk about, and the fans may not be willing to listen.

However, when talking about Real Madrid's recent performance and praising Le Ang, they talked happily, and the fans were also very happy to listen.

It was not until the players on both sides finished the opening ceremony and the captains of both sides began to fight for the right to choose sides that Zhan Jun took the time to explain the formation as the starting players appeared in the live broadcast footage.

".So in terms of Arsenal, their starting lineup today is like this:

The goalkeeper is Poland national goalkeeper Szczesny.

In the central defender position, German international Per Mertesacker will partner with French central defender Koscielny, left back is Vermaelen, and right back is Sagna.

The midfield includes five players: Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Rosicky and Podolski!

Starting on the front line is high center forward Giroud.

For Arsenal, they made a big adjustment to their starting lineup today. Little Tiger Walcott is on standby. Perhaps Wenger wants him to be a substitute.

"

“For Real Madrid, the starting goalkeeper today is still Casillas.

In terms of central defender, the partnership of Ramos and Pepe is the absolute first choice for Mourinho, with left back Coentrao and right back Arbeloa.

At the midfield end, Xabi Alonso and Li Ang trailed behind, Modric served as the central midfielder, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria lined up on both sides of Modric.

On the front line, Benzema rides forward alone.

Real Madrid doesn't have much of a starting lineup adjustment. Mourinho's formation today is still very stable. "

After Zhan Jun’s introduction, Xie Hui added:

"Both teams chose to start with a 4,2,3,1 starting formation today, but Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria can move up front at any time. In comparison, Arsenal's The five midfielders should be more inclined to control the ball."

"Yes, Real Madrid should still pursue quick counterattacks and space pressure. This is also the offensive and defensive tactics that Real Madrid is best at now."

Li Ang in the field glanced at Cazorla, who was standing opposite him, and smiled subconsciously.

Cazorla also grinned when he looked at Li Ang. There was a hint of kindness from an "old acquaintance" in his smile, but also a hint of helplessness.

Last season in Villarreal and last season in Malaga, Cazorla and Li Ang have played against each other four times in the past two years.

Three times in La Liga and one in the Copa del Rey.

These four encounters made Cazorla's impression of Li Ang extremely profound.

In fact, the two did not face each other very often. After all, Casorado was active on the wing at that time, and Li Ang's focus was mostly on players playing in the middle.

But just Li Ang's flank pressure made Cazorla unforgettable.

Anyway, Cazorla didn't expect that he would move to Arsenal this season and be able to face Real Madrid and Li Ang.

At this moment, he could only say one sentence in his heart.

This damn fate!

With the referee's whistle, the Champions League battle started on time, and Zhan Jun's voice also sounded at the right time.

“In the Champions League quarter-finals of the 2012-13 season, the first leg of Real Madrid’s match against Arsenal has begun! Director Xie Hui and Zhan Jun will give you a live commentary of the game on Sina Sports Video!

In this game, Real Madrid players wore dark blue away jerseys, while Arsenal wore the classic red and white home jerseys! "

Xie Hui saw that Real Madrid, which was the first to launch an offensive test, started to advance with the ball from Li Ang, and the tone of the commentator subconsciously became high:

"Li Ang is now controlling the ball and trying to push forward. Cazorla came over first to defend and interfere with Li Ang's speed! He withstood Cazorla's interference and distributed the ball to the right!"

Real Madrid did not start with a long pass today. Instead, Li Ang made a bold attempt to advance with the ball from his own half.

Cazorla did not stop Leon at the first time, which surprised Arteta who was lagging behind.

But the moment he moved forward to press, Li Ang decisively distributed the ball.

Arbeloa, who was inserted from the side, rushed through Arsenal's right midfield defense line with almost no delay!

This made Arsenal's home fans, who were still hot on their butts, jump out of their seats quickly!

At the moment when he was about to face Arsenal left back Vermaelen, Arbeloa knocked the ball horizontally.

Modric followed up and quickly distributed the ball to the center, perfectly avoiding the defensive double-teaming of Arteta and Koscielny who were chasing after him.

And Li Ang, who was already in position at this moment, also directly picked the football towards Arsenal's penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who diagonally inserted into Arsenal's penalty area, was about to fight for the top, but he hit a "wall".

It was the 1.98-meter Mertesacker who stood up to compete with Ronaldo!

The German central defender's frontal interception ability is really outrageous. No matter how good Cristiano Ronaldo can jump, he will not be able to do anything this time against Mertesacker who has maintained his defensive position.

Mertesacker used his height advantage to head the ball back to the midfielder first, but there was not much joy on his face.

He began to yell loudly, reminding his teammates that they must enter the game at this time.

Arsenal's midfielders and backfield players, who had been stunned by Real Madrid's fast attack tactics at the beginning, were also in high spirits.

You really can't truly appreciate how powerful Real Madrid is now without having played against each other.

When they watched the video of the match between Real Madrid and Dortmund before, they did feel that the rhythm of both teams was very fast and the tactical competition was full.

But at the end of the day, it’s just sitting in front of a screen and watching footage.

Arsenal's players were wary, but they couldn't realize how fast the two teams were playing at that time.

Now they finally feel it.

After I calmed down, I felt cold sweat all over my back!

The opening blitz failed, and the Real Madrid players certainly felt it was a pity, but their return to defense was not slow at all.

Li Ang waited for Ronaldo for a while when he retreated, and there was not much direct verbal communication between the two.

Li Ang looked at Mertesacker and then at Ronaldo. Ronaldo pursed his lips and shook his head, and Li Ang made the "three" gesture.

After receiving Ronaldo's nod of approval, Li Ang had no problems and turned back to his own half, and had a brief exchange with Modric in the middle.

This scene made many commentators and fans in front of the TV interested.

The communication between the two was straightforward and tacit, and it seemed that they had a tactical plan.

If Ronaldo's grabbing of points was faster than Mertesacker's grabbing of positions before, will Li Ang exchange with Ronaldo and use the "No. 1" or "No. 2" offensive tactics?

Xie Hui looked at Mourinho, who was standing straight in the live broadcast, with interest in his tone.

"Mourinho seems to be very well prepared today! I feel like there are more than three offensive tactical plans alone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Arsenal organized a counterattack in the midfield, but Real Madrid's midfield defense had been completely set up.

Ronaldo and Di Maria then returned to the center line and guarded the wings. Modric and Benzema interfered with Arsenal's ball carrier.

Li Ang will now stand in tandem with Alonso.

The defensive positions of all Real Madrid players are very solid, and their cooperation with each other is also very skillful.

When Arsenal's midfielders were in possession of the ball, Real Madrid had no intention of pressing forward to steal the ball, which forced Arsenal to invest more forces on the offensive end.

But the moment Arsenal finally broke into Real Madrid's half after spending four or five minutes, Li Ang moved!

When Modric was chasing Cazorla, Li Ang also pressed in to double-team Modric.

At this time, Cazorla quickly distributed the ball to Rosicky who was in front of him on the right. Liang also directly dropped Cazorla, turned around and ran towards Rosicky!

Ramsey, who had just crossed the halfway line at this moment, saw Li Ang's pursuit and attack clearly.

His first reaction was "Hurry!"

This does not refer to Li Ang's absolute speed, but to Li Ang's explosive acceleration!

In terms of absolute speed, Podolski, who started Arsenal's game today, is much faster than Leon.

But compared to the explosive acceleration, Ramsey felt that Prince Bolti could not even compare to Leon!

Rosicky was still observing the movements of Podolski on the left and Giroud who was further forward. As a result, before he could send the pass, a strong force came from his side!

The ball was lost first, and then his entire body was squeezed away!

Rosicky didn't have much defense, so he staggered slightly and fell to the turf!

And when he looked back in shock, he could only see the dark blue back of No. 10 leading the ball away!

"Li Ang——! What a great ball! Li Ang's beautiful pursuit and steal! Rosicky was still careless. He couldn't think about it for so long when Li Ang was chasing back. Li Ang scored the ball again! Modric!"

In Zhan Jun's high-pitched commentary, another rapid counterattack by Real Madrid has begun.

After Modric received the ball from Li Ang diagonally behind him, he chose to boldly continue to advance before Arsenal's defense could pick up the pace!

In fact, he likes this exciting offensive feeling.

And facing Arsenal also gave him more desire to attack.

Even though the teammate in front of him on the left is no longer the lightning-fast Bell, Real Madrid's overall counterattack speed is much faster than Tottenham!

In just two or three seconds, almost all Real Madrid players were around Modric!

This represents an increase in his passing opportunities and options, but Modric did not deliver threatening balls quickly.

He began to move sideways, forcing Arteta, who was lagging behind, to move closer to him.

At this time, in front of him, Ronaldo, who had been targeted by Sagna and Mertesacker again, seemed to be no longer a threat.

But just when almost all Arsenal fans breathed a sigh of relief, Modric passed the ball!

Li Ang, who once again took the lead in Arsenal's center, became the focus of the audience at this moment!

Without Arteta in the middle, Cazorla and Ramsey were still chasing after each other one meter away from Li Ang!

No one in the Arsenal midfield can stop Li Ang from facing the penalty area!

A multiple-choice question was placed in front of the Arsenal defenders. Press out and intercept Li Ang's dribbling, or continue to retreat and bet that Li Ang is not capable of handling this offensive opportunity on his own?

Mertesacker stared at Ronaldo and gritted his teeth and chose not to go out.

But Koscielny saw that Li Ang had adjusted his starting point outside the penalty area and seemed to be about to take a long shot, but he could not be as cruel as his partner.

Koscielny left the penalty area, and Li Ang's right foot, which seemed to be about to hit the goal, changed his shot to a push, pushing the football to the right side of Arsenal's penalty area, which was slightly open!

Vermaelen was restrained by Benzema's movement and was unable to return to his defensive zone immediately.

Di Maria made a smooth diagonal pass to lead the ball. In the next moment, he directly chose to shoot with his left foot!

With almost no one marking him, Di Maria's shot was of very high quality.

Even though Szczesny rushed to the far corner immediately, Di Maria's shot was too close to the goal and the angle was too tricky!

The Polish national goalkeeper failed to touch the football. He knew very clearly that he could not even touch the ball.

This feeling made him very powerless!

But at this moment, his first reaction was not to lose the ball, but the time of the game!

"Is it six minutes since the game started?"

Perhaps in response to Szczesny's inner doubts, the Sky Sports commentator exclaimed when he saw the football entering the net!

"The sixth minute of the first half! God! The game has just passed the sixth minute, and Real Madrid broke through Arsenal's goal! And this is their second blitz attempt in this game!!!"

The surprised and disappointed British Sky Sports commentator could only use exclamations to cover up his emotions.

But in the Sina Sports studio at this moment, Zhan Jun and Xie Hui began to shout excitedly without any concealment!

"Leon assisted Di Maria to break through Arsenal's goal! Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema were the bait in this attack! Modric scored in time, and Leon made a beautiful pass! Arsenal's defense was beaten by Real Madrid Fooled!"

"I can't afford the high ball, and use the ground to counterattack quickly. Even Cristiano Ronaldo is used as a tactical bait! Mertesacker may not have thought that this is Real Madrid's 'tactic No. 3'! Look how happy Cristiano Ronaldo is laughing now." !”

The two just lined up to celebrate in the studio.

But on the field at this moment, Li Ang was already laughing and hugging his teammates in celebration!

They didn't expect the goal to come so early.

Arsenal today is looking at tactics of central control and offensive penetration.

This style of play is actually pretty good. It can actually compete with today's technical teams, such as Manchester City, Barcelona, ​​and Arsenal.

After all, in terms of technology, Arsenal's midfielder is definitely top-notch.

If they fight for possession of the ball, they will not be weak.

But today's Arsenal midfielder and backfield have a problem that is too serious.

Perhaps it was because of last season's results that the professor didn't have much sense of crisis. He didn't make any targeted transfer signings during last summer window and this year's winter window.

Arsenal's waist is still not strong enough!

Arteta can be a metronome and a gearbox, but he can never be used as a meat grinder.

Even though his current defense looks pretty good, he is still not a defensive midfielder.

And against this kind of technical team with lineup flaws, Real Madrid couldn't be better!

At the beginning, the Real Madrid players were indeed prepared to stay a little longer.

But after testing the defensive strength of Arsenal's midfield and backcourt, they no longer hesitated.

Just charge into the middle and tear apart the defense and that's it!

Mourinho was also beaming at this moment, standing on the sidelines and applauding happily.

While applauding, Mourinho also muttered something.

"Yes, hit Arsenal's center. Today we will hit Arsenal's center!"

This meeting finally makes up for today’s 10,000-word update.

Alas, the foodie has been arguing all night with his old father who came to town today.

All I can say is that I am exhausted.

There are too many places to visit.

This will send the old father away at the station and complete the last word.

When I was in the provincial capital before, I felt very tired because of work.

But now that he is back in the county, the foodie finds that it is not easy either because of family matters.

Borrow some money next month and pay the down payment on the house first.

The foodie couldn't convince his parents, so now he can only follow their ideas.

In fact, the foodie is not too old, but according to his parents, he seems to have reached the age where he must start a family.

Alas, I am sitting in the station with a complicated mood. I have been nagging a little bit. I hope the bosses won’t blame me.
