Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"It's a good thing Chelsea slipped away to the Europa League, otherwise they might have had to face the two big mouths from Real Madrid. The Premier League teams in the Champions League this season are really miserable!"

"It's okay. The traditional strong teams in the Premier League have basically reached the time of reconstruction in recent seasons. When Real Madrid was rebuilt, weren't they still 16 years old?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Manchester United is about to win the Premier League title again this season. Does it need to be rebuilt?"

"It's all thanks to Sir Alex Ferguson's training skills. Let me tell you, once Sir Alex Ferguson quits, Manchester United will be ruined immediately. Do you believe it? They don't even have a professional CEO. They will have a hard time rebuilding later. !”

"Nonsense! Manchester United's ability to make money is the best in football. If you have money, you can't sink. You think Manchester United is the Milan duo."

As soon as this year's Champions League quarter-final draws and semi-district divisions were announced, the Premier League fans in China were the first to complain.

This season, only Manchester United is still competing in the Champions League in the Premier League.

It was extremely bad luck to meet the current football devil Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has also had conflicts with Premier League teams this season.

First, Manchester City was eliminated at the bottom of the Champions League, then Arsenal was eliminated in the top 16 of the Champions League, and now they meet Manchester United.

Such a "coincidental" grouping and knockout draw make it difficult for fans to guess.

Does UEFA just want to use Real Madrid's hand to train the Premier League team that has never been very obedient?

Otherwise, the probability of Real Madrid meeting three Premier League teams in a row is too small.

If this can really be a coincidence, then fans from all walks of life can also say that the probability of Arsenal meeting Bayern in the one-eighth knockout round next season must have skyrocketed.

"Coincidence"!

Real Madrid have already touched each other. Isn't it unreasonable for Arsenal to touch Bayern again?

That’s so reasonable~

This is going to be a mixed bag for Manchester United fans.

They definitely don't want to touch Real Madrid, but they are very happy to see Ronaldo return to Old Trafford.

Very contradictory.

Real Madrid fans didn't think it would be easy to win against Manchester United. Instead, they felt that the draw was quite stinky.

After all, Manchester United, which seems to have many problems this season in later generations, actually looks quite strong at the moment.

Therefore, the confidence Li Ang showed in the team did not get much support from his teammates.

From Li Ang's perspective, Manchester United's current midfield combination is here to kill people.

Carrick, who is close to 32 years old and has no speed, serves as the deep-lying core.

And he was paired with either the mediocre Cleverley or the Anderson who had been ruined by injuries and lack of self-discipline.

Shinji Kagawa is completely unsuited to the rhythm of the Premier League and Champions League. Li Ang is eager for him to play, and then let him taste the confrontational greetings from the Spanish Super League!

With such a midfield combination, the natural shortcomings of the players' strength can be fully exploited.

Just sprint into the middle like you did against Arsenal and that's it!

If Carrick does not have qualified teammates in front of him, he will become a fatal link in Manchester United's midfield defense.

Because both Li Ang and Modric have an absolute advantage over Carrick in terms of speed.

As for Cleverley and Anderson, it’s not that Leon looks down on them, let’s go together, really.

First of all, he is not a heavyweight in terms of confrontation, and Li Ang hopes that these two people will foul him frequently.

When the time comes, Real Madrid's set pieces are designated to give Manchester United a good drink.

Ferdinand is now the best in the world with only head-on interception and aerial challenge, but Manchester United is only an older version of Ferdinand.

Vidic is still in bed. Ferdinand with Evans or Jones is really difficult to deal with Real Madrid's wolf-pack tactics.

Anyway, Li Ang feels comfortable playing any way he wants to play for Manchester United. Just be wary of Manchester United's sharp advancement from the wing and Rooney's offensive organization.

Van Persie has burned out his peak last season. Now Van Persie can cause some trouble to Ramos and Pepe, but that's it.

But in the eyes of other Real Madrid players, this Manchester United team has a reasonable mix of old and new players. There are superstars in the team, and they even reached the Champions League final last season.

Now Manchester United has surpassed Manchester City and ranks first in the Premier League.

Therefore, like most fans, they generally believe that Manchester United is a strong team with quite good hard power.

Mourinho was well prepared to face Ferguson's team and did not dare to look down upon him at all.

This kind of special attention from teammates and coaches finally made Li Ang have to sigh with emotion.

It is really the shadow of a famous tree. The name Ferguson is, to a certain extent, the guarantee of Manchester United's influence and strength.

Seeing that his teammates were all like this, Li Ang didn't say much.

He decided to do something bold on the day of the match against Manchester United!

Pull down the curtain on the big holes in Manchester United's lineup in advance?

why not!

Li Ang feels that the scene will be quite exciting when the time comes.

He is also looking forward to it.

※※※

After a full week of rest, Real Madrid ushered in the 28th round of La Liga against Mallorca at home on March 16.

After this league ends, the major leagues will pause briefly and usher in another round of international matches.

Considering that the main players are likely to report to the national team, they will have to play two consecutive World Cup preliminaries within ten days.

Therefore, Mourinho chose to send out a rotating lineup to fight Mallorca in terms of formation.

Nacho, Varane, Carvajal, Callejon and other rotation players all got starting opportunities.

Li Ang and Ronaldo still sit in the midfield and frontcourt.

The whole game was basically the whole Real Madrid team playing ball for Ronaldo, allowing Ronaldo to shoot.

Mallorca is currently ranked third from the bottom in La Liga, conceding 52 goals in the first 27 league rounds.

This number of goals conceded is second only to La Liga deputy captain Deportivo La Coruna's 58 goals conceded.

Therefore, it can be seen how weak Mallorca's midfield defense is.

Ronaldo played 67 minutes in this game, took 13 shots, eight of them were on target, and scored two goals.

So the second half of the game lasted just over 20 minutes, and Mourinho took his ace forward off the court to rest.

As for Li Ang, does he have no national team competition duties?

As soon as the national match day came, Li Ang would not only practice extra training but also rest, so Mourinho simply let him play the entire game.

After winning Mallorca 3-1, a few Real Madrid first-team players who did not have national team competition duties entered a week of vacation.

Li Ang took the time to continue training his long pass ability, and finally broke the 85 long pass ability threshold on the last day of the holiday!

This is really not easy. This is also the ability that Li Ang feels has the slowest breakthrough speed in training.

Fortunately, although progress was slow, Li Ang's persistence paid off.

With a long pass ability value of 85, Li Ang can now say that his long pass level is on the threshold of the first-class level in football.

Basically, it is the long-passing level of the playmaker of a team between the top eight to the top five in La Liga.

When this ability value reaches 87 or 88, then Li Ang will be a top-notch midfielder in both long and short passing football.

Anyway, the level of 90 is the threshold of top ability in football, and it is difficult to break through.

But once he breaks through, even if it's just the ability values ​​of 90 and 89, Li Ang feels that the difference is quite big.

He really felt it when he was in liver physical fitness.

After returning to the team to practice with his teammates, Li Ang's progress in long passing once again amazed everyone in the training base!

When Mourinho tentatively asked Li Ang to practice shooting more in the future, all the Real Madrid players laughed.

After asking, Mourinho himself responded and waved his hand rather embarrassedly.

The shooting technique is completely different from the midfield techniques that Li Ang had previously trained.

If shooting can be practiced hard, then Li Ang's talent is really the most abnormal among abnormal.

Li Ang also smiled along with his teammates and said nothing more.

Shot?

Perhaps, this can also happen, but it will definitely not be now.

After he raises all midfield ability values ​​to 90 in the future, he will consider whether to extract shooting talent.

However, by then, he should be quite young.

"How about changing your position at the age of thirty and surprising the football world?"

Li Ang even imagined for a moment how he could knock Melo off the altar and then compete with the elderly Lewandowski and Guo Feng for the Golden Boot.

If that scene could really come true, it would be quite exciting.

But now I can just think about it. Changing the location is not something that can be decided in a simple sentence or two.

It would be too troublesome to change your game perspective and playing habits accordingly.

After the episode passed, Mourinho did not mention asking Li Ang to practice shooting again, and Li Ang did not think about the possibility of YY again.

On the evening of March 30, some of Real Madrid's main players, who had just finished playing in the World Cup qualifying matches and had some physical problems, got another holiday.

Mourinho once again led Real Madrid's starting lineup, which was mostly composed of rotating players, to challenge Zaragoza at the La Romeda Stadium.

This is the 29th round of La Liga and the last round of La Liga before the Champions League quarter-finals.

Real Madrid did not send many main players to start, which made Ferguson, who was still preparing to observe the recent status of Real Madrid's main players, feeling very depressed.

However, Manchester United chose to face Sunderland with all its main players yesterday in order to further widen the gap with Manchester City.

This is like before a battle between two armies, one side reveals most of its trump cards regarding military strength and food, while the other side keeps its camp completely hidden.

Under such circumstances, when the two sides fight, the team that exposed most of its strength first will definitely be more passive.

In the end, Ferguson only saw a confident performance from Real Madrid's youth training players.

If we have to talk about Real Madrid's main players, then there is the tacit cooperation between Li Ang and Modric and the twin-turbo organizational model.

With these two midfielders alternately organizing forwards, Real Madrid's rotation players on the front line did not miss many offensive opportunities.

Goals from Morata and Vazquez also helped Real Madrid finally beat Zaragoza 2-1 away from home.

The goal conceded had absolutely no reference value to Ferguson.

After all, no matter how optimistic he is, he can't imagine Mourinho arranging a central defender partnership of Nacho + Varane on the day of the game against Manchester United.

Not to mention that behind them was A Dan.

After lamenting that Real Madrid's current bench strength is indeed good, Ferguson could only dig out the videos of Real Madrid's previous games against Barcelona and Arsenal and continue to think about the tactics.

On April 2, Real Madrid's main players all came out and once again boarded the plane to Manchester, England, along with the coaching staff.

This is their third trip to England to play a Champions League away game this season, and the journey and process are extremely familiar.

After finishing the game that evening, Li Ang also teased Ronaldo, telling Ronaldo not to be soft-footed during the game tomorrow and to score goals for Manchester United.

Amid the laughter, Li Ang received a "warm" hug from Ronaldo.

But in Ronaldo's firm eyes, Li Ang read the meaning that the Portuguese King would go all out.

On the evening of April 3, the Real Madrid generals who had completed their warm-up returned to the locker room for final pre-match preparations.

Many Real Madrid players are still surprised by the love and warm welcome given to Ronaldo by local Manchester United fans.

Li Ang found Brother Long and Magic Flute, who were starting with him today, and quickly explained the situation in their ears.

When Alonso saw that Li Ang was not joking, he frowned, patted Li Ang's shoulder hard, and responded briefly.

"Try it once, and if it doesn't work, just follow the coach's instructions!"

Magic Flute looked at Li Ang, and finally just pursed his lips and nodded, indicating that he would help him with tactics.

When Li Ang saw this, he immediately smiled and made gestures of thanks to the two of them.

Mourinho didn't know at this moment that his direct general was thinking about taking the lead in opening up the game.

When the players on both sides finished the opening ceremony and were about to kick off, Mourinho felt very confident.

Returning to the familiar Old Trafford Stadium and being booed wildly by Manchester United fans did not change Mourinho's confidence in winning at all.

He knows that Manchester United's most threatening offensive method today is the rapid advancement from both wings.

As long as Manchester United's wing players and Rooney link up the overall offensive, Rooney and Robin van Persie will become Manchester United's most sharp game-breaking weapons on the offensive end.

Although Rooney has not scored many goals this season, his ability to fight tough battles is still strong, and his personal strength is still the first echelon in football.

Therefore, Mourinho decided to focus on the wing at the beginning. Of course, Rooney in the middle was left to Li Ang.

Um? What is this kid Li Ang doing? !

Mourinho sat on the coaching bench with his eyes wide open!

At the same time, Ferguson, who was sitting next to him, also had his eyes widened!

"Li Ang started to push forward with the ball. It seems that Real Madrid's tactics are not conservative today. Mourinho still wants to open up the situation on the offensive end!"

Zhan Jun watched Li Ang's advancing figure with interest.

After seeing Li Ang protect the ball first and withstand Cleverley's defensive interference, and then use Modric's cover to suddenly start to speed up and get past the defense of Cleverley and Carrick, Zhan Jun couldn't sit still. Got it!

"Beautiful forward breakthrough! Carrick's speed can't keep up with Liang. Cleverley should have fouled earlier. Manchester United made a mistake and Liang scored the ball! Oh, Ronaldo's success!"

Li Ang and Modric almost boldly penetrated Manchester United's midfield defense with just one pass and move!

This was a scene that was completely beyond the expectations of the Manchester United fans at the scene!

Mourinho, who had just spit out the curse words and was about to curse, immediately changed his tune!

"Who told you to kick like this? Well done, little lion!"

Mourinho changed his tune and shouted, feeling quite regretful when he saw Ronaldo's final shot missed.

However, a flash of light flashed in Mourinho's eyes at the same time. He pulled Karanka and directly discussed the possibility of modifying the offensive tone and tactics at this time.

And Li Ang, who was on the court, was not annoyed at all when he watched Ronaldo's final inward shot miss slightly.

He looked at Carrick, who was standing in the backcourt of Manchester United with a surprised and wary look on his face, and Cleverley, who was a little palpitating, and showed a bright smile!

Li Ang smiled and began to retreat slowly, but Ferguson stood up from the coaching bench and began to walk to the sidelines.

This game has just begun, and Li Ang still has many plans in his mind to beat Manchester United's midfield, which is full of loopholes.

He was in no hurry at all.

"Manchester United, Manchester United, why are your midfielders and backfielders so old and your newcomers still not very effective?

Today I say I want to blast you in the middle, so I must blast you in the middle! "
