Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

The topic of defending the title has not been discussed within Real Madrid for a long time.

Mourinho doesn't like to talk about the championship he hasn't won all the time.

Real Madrid players also understand the importance of ladder goals after having the experience of winning last season.

You can be happy and even celebrate a few times, but Real Madrid players understand that the game still has to be played one by one.

This season, Real Madrid does not have a huge points advantage in the mid-term lead.

Even though Barcelona is finally starting to lose its momentum now, to be honest, the difference is only two points. In the most ideal case, Real Madrid wins the make-up game and widens the point difference to five points.

Is there a lot of room for error in less than two wins?

At the end of the season, Real Madrid will inevitably give up a few opportunities. With a psychological advantage, the most correct approach is to not pay too much attention to external public opinion.

So Real Madrid seemed particularly "silent" after making a profit.

"AS" sent a large number of paparazzi reporters, originally wanting to take some tidbits about the Real Madrid players having fun during their vacation.

As a result, in addition to photographing Ronaldo and Elena shopping in the duty-free area, the biggest news they captured was that Li Ang stopped practicing!

Yes, after Li Ang finished the league match with Rayo Vallecano, he did not choose to continue training during the two-day holiday. Instead, he went for a walk along the Mediterranean coast with Marcelo and Nacho.

The temperature in Madrid in winter is not bad, sub-zero weather is rare, but the air is still a bit dry.

In comparison, the weather in Valencia is much better.

Li Ang has never found it troublesome to travel, and Marcelo also prefers Valencia beaches, which have mild sunshine in winter.

So Li Ang grabbed Nacho and then Marcelo, and the three of them went on a short trip.

It’s not far to drive from Madrid to Valencia, less than 400 kilometers away.

Three people plus an assistant and a security guard, a total of seven people, two cars went there in the morning on the day of the holiday, and at noon they sat in a restaurant along the coast of Valencia to enjoy a seafood feast.

When they met reporters on the way out, Li Ang and others also greeted them in a relaxed mood.

Therefore, "Aspen" quickly published the news that Li Ang and others went to Valencia.

The truth is that there was no news to be found during Real Madrid's short vacation.

The three of them played until the evening of the next day before driving back to Madrid.

There were no beautiful women in luxury cars during this short vacation, but a few men slept on the beach until they woke up naturally, and ate three seafood dinners, which made them full of happiness.

After relaxing, the Real Madrid generals once again returned to their fulfilling training life.

Mourinho did not give any further reminders, but Real Madrid's stars consciously devoted 100% to preparations for the league and the next round of the Champions League.

Before the start of the 25th round of La Liga, the first legs of the remaining four rounds of the Champions League's quarter-finals also kicked off.

Malaga and Barcelona represented La Liga against Dortmund and AC Milan.

But the result was that the Western media and the entire Spanish football world exploded.

Because both teams lost.

Malaga lost 1-3 at home in Dortmund, and the result was naturally unsatisfactory to Malaga supporters and the Western media.

If they only lose one goal, say 1-2 or 2-3, Malaga, who returned home in that round, still have a certain amount of initiative.

But after losing two goals, Malaga's second leg match would be very uncomfortable.

However, Malaga's loss to Dortmund is not an upset.

After all, Dortmund has already shown their superior strength in two battles with Real Madrid.

But Barcelona's loss was a clean 0-2 loss to Milan at San Siro, which was quite inappropriate.

Many fans speculate that Barcelona has brought the downturn in the league to the Champions League.

They lost two goals in the first round and failed to score an away goal. The second round can only be described as a disaster.

Milan scored one goal in the second round at Camp Nou, and Barcelona had to score four goals to advance. They would be eliminated after scoring three goals. It was too passive!

Bayern Munich defeated Portuguese Super League giants Porto with a crisp 3-0 at the Dragon Stadium.

Like Real Madrid, after the first leg, Bayern has one foot in the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

Galatasaray drew with Schalke 04. No matter who wins the two teams, it will basically be counted as a gift package in the quarterfinals.

Barcelona, ​​which was blown away, became the most embarrassing team in this round of one-eighth elimination round.

The strong teams basically didn't overturn. Manchester United managed to score an away goal, but Barcelona didn't even score an away goal and was directly eliminated.

Milan's explosive performance has received praise from the media and fans.

Li Ang’s memory about the scores of most of the Champions League matchups this season is already very vague.

What he remembers most clearly is that the top two teams in the Western Premier League were each slaughtered by the top two teams in the Bundesliga in the semi-finals.

Those two duels gave fans who were generally optimistic about the Western Premier League duo at that time a severe slap in the face.

Cough. Li Ang was among the fans who were slapped in the face at that time, so after so many years, he still has such deep memories of these two games.

No matter what, the Barcelona in his memory still reached the final four, even if Barcelona's status this season seems to be a bit up and down.

But after returning to Camp Nou, Li Ang felt that Barcelona was more likely to win in the end.

If Milan still has Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Master Pi, then Li Ang will definitely be on Milan's side without any brain.

But after Ibrahimovic left for Paris and Master Pi also switched to Juventus, Milan was left with only the nerve knife and no ability to stabilize the field.

Comparing the hard power with Barcelona, ​​which will fight hard in the second round, Milan must be at least one level worse now and cannot be stable.

After the Champions League ended, both Real Madrid and Barcelona returned their focus to the league.

Real Madrid's opponent in the twenty-fifth round of the league is newly promoted Mala Coruña.

Super Deportivo is currently ranked second from the bottom in La Liga, with one point more than Mallorca. It has only won three games in the first 24 rounds of the league, and its strength can be said to be extremely weak.

Belleron still played an important role in Deportivo this season.

Started 18 of the first 24 league games, scoring one goal and assisting five times.

If you put this data on a veteran who is about to turn thirty-eight, no matter who sees it, they have to give a thumbs up and say:

Try your best!

In the last round of the match against Deportivo La Coruña, Leon regretted not playing against Belleron.

He had waited for this round.

Belleron started and played the entire game.

The aging master still tried his best to score points for Deportivo.

But the reality is cruel. Faced with the pressure of Real Madrid's soldiers, the weak Deportivo midfielder cannot be held up by Belleron alone.

Li Ang didn't let go at all. He was particularly excited today and showed his all-round offensive and defensive performance in front of Belleron.

The whole game contributed nine effective steals, seven successful interceptions, and the same seven one-on-one duels were all successful!

The key is on the offensive end. Li Ang also contributed personal data in passing and shooting.

In the end, Real Madrid, who played semi-mainly, took away a four-goal victory at the Riazor Stadium, while Deportivo did not even score a goal.

After the game, Li Ang once again received the champagne that symbolized the best player in the game, but for him, getting Belleron's final jersey was what made him even happier.

"Well done, little lion, keep up the good work, remember the path you want to take, and just walk firmly to the end."

Master Beleron gave Li Ang a firm hug and gave Li Ang another heartfelt blessing.

Li Ang had nothing to say and hugged Beleron tightly.

Both of them know that this is the first time the two of them have played against each other in La Liga, and it will probably be the last time.

Even if Deportivo is not relegated this season, Belleron should consider returning to his parent club Las Palmas to enjoy the last few years of his career.

There is freedom and freedom in the reluctance, and there is also blessing.

Li Ang knows that he is the heir to Belleron's mantle, because he has gradually grown up in the offensive organization by constantly understanding Belleron's "core organizational skills".

Facing his "mentor", Li Ang can only wish him to continue to enjoy the happiness that football brings him after returning to his home team.

And looking at Li Ang hugging him on the court, it was like hugging a junior who he was satisfied with and sending encouragement to Belleron.

Thousands of Real Madrid fans and more than 30,000 Deportivo La Coruña fans stood up and gave their heartfelt applause.

This is not a preferential treatment, but they are sending their respect and blessings to a true midfield master.

This season, regardless of whether Deportivo is playing at home or away, the fans at the scene will applaud Belleron at the beginning and after the game.

This is the highest respect from the fans.

After the warm round of the game, the Real Madrid players were all gearing up and began to sharpen their eyes towards Barcelona.

Yes, the second El Clasico in La Liga this season is about to begin!

The Barcelona players, who had just defeated Sevilla 3-1, were not happy now.

Because they must now face an important choice.

On February 26, before the El Clasico against Real Madrid starts, should they give up the second Copa del Rey match against Atletico Madrid?

If they don't give up, in order to reverse Atletico Madrid, they will definitely try their best to score more goals.

But if they give up, the Barcelona players who have reached this point are really unwilling to do so.

Unfortunately, time constraints left Barcelona no extra time to think about it.

Three days after finishing the league match with Sevilla, they ushered in the Copa del Rey showdown with Atletico Madrid at home.

It can be seen that Vilanova finally agreed with the will of the Barcelona players.

Although his expression was helpless, he still formed Barcelona's most offensive four-three-three pure main formation.

But today's Barcelona is destined to be tortured by the scrappy Atletico Madrid players in the game.

The first half was fine. Atletico Madrid only conceded one goal despite its persistence. Simeone was quite satisfied. Barcelona's players seemed to see hope of reversal.

But in the second half, when Costa exerted his strength, Pique and Mascherano became unbalanced in just 20 minutes, and each received a yellow card.

The situation of the game began to tilt towards Atletico Madrid.

Falcao became more unscrupulous in grabbing points, and neither Mascherano nor Pique dared to make big defensive moves.

So in the second half, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid tied 2-2.

Although Barcelona won this game 3-2, the total score gap caused them to be eliminated!

Cracked.

The mentality of Barcelona fans is cracked again!

Still playing against Real Madrid in this state?

It's rare, the suspense of La Liga is over!
