Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"Gonzalo really hasn't reached an agreement with the club?"

"We haven't reached an agreement. He still wants the guarantee of the main position, but... alas, there is nothing we can do about it. It is impossible for Karim to give up the main position he has won now, right?"

"He just can't get up to work as a tactical green leaf. The boss gave him a chance before, but he didn't take it. It's too late to say this now."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. It doesn't matter what we are talking about here. Just pretend that we don't know anything in the locker room."

"clear."

After winning the game against Athletic Bilbao, Casillas, who was in good spirits, took the initiative to invite "his own people" to dinner.

Ramos, Leon, Aveiroa and others are all on the list.

Originally, Li Ang only planned to work, but when he heard a few people chatting, they talked about Higuain's recent contract extension.

In fact, it was pretty much what Li Ang expected. Higuain, who had completely lost his main position and had won enough championship honors, made a last-ditch effort.

But he still underestimated Ronaldo's current tactical status in Mourinho's heart, and also underestimated the importance of Ronaldo's performance to Real Madrid.

From beginning to end, it was not Benzema competing one-on-one with him, but Mourinho trying to figure out which center could best stimulate Ronaldo's full firepower.

If Higuain could lower his body and become a tactical green leaf like Benzema, and be more willing to take the initiative to make friends with Ronaldo.

Perhaps from the beginning, Benzema was destined not to have a chance to rise to the top.

Even with Li Ang's butterfly effect now, the "cat and dog theory" has not come out of Mourinho's mouth.

But in the first half of the season, Mourinho's reliance and optimism on Higuain were obvious.

It's a pity that Higuain did not choose the development path Mourinho mapped out for him.

There is no telling who is right or wrong in this matter. In terms of strength, Higuain is still slightly better than Benzema. It is normal for him to be dissatisfied.

But when a player is in a team, the most important thing is to see the fit between himself and the tactical system.

The current Benzema is more in line with Real Madrid's tactical system than Higuain, both offensively and defensively.

Li Ang could only sigh in his heart.

He has a good relationship with every player on the current team.

But everyone has his own career path and pursuit. If he can't reach an agreement with the club, he can only be mentally prepared to say goodbye to his teammates in advance.

After ignoring Higuain's insider topic, the atmosphere in the private room became light again.

Now Real Madrid's double-line defense situation is very good. With the excellent results, there will naturally be more laughter among the players.

Ramos and Casillas repeatedly praised Mourinho's "wise" decision to give up the King's Cup.

Just looking at this posture, how can there be any dissatisfaction with Mourinho's management and tactical arrangements like last season?

Victory and championships are indeed the best glue.

Compare the memories of the Real Madrid dressing room falling apart at this moment with the scene of unity they have now.

While Li Ang felt funny and funny in his heart, he kept echoing the words of his captain and deputy.

After finishing the meal, the brothers said goodbye happily and left.

Li Ang felt that his old captain should still be able to understand the seriousness of the situation and didn't say anything he shouldn't have said to his prodigal girlfriend, and he felt relieved.

Anyway, this season is coming to an end. To put it bluntly, there are only about a month and a half left before the Champions League final starts.

After this month and a half, Cassie's girlfriend can do whatever she wants, as long as it doesn't affect Real Madrid, or the Real Madrid players' cause of defending the Champions League.

Li Ang was too lazy to pay any more attention to this mess.

He has now changed many people's endings at Real Madrid.

Some of them didn't end well, but more players and coaches got completely different career paths.

How will Real Madrid develop in the future? In the new situation of football that has changed beyond recognition, Li Ang is not sure about the direction.

However, he has successfully passed his "leveling period"

If any turmoil occurs in the future, he will have enough confidence to continue to grow.

Only strength is the source of all honor and reputation, and he deeply believes in this.

But now, nothing can hinder him from soaring on the road of improving his strength.

After the short break and the resumption of training, the Real Madrid players with high morale are determined to win the next round of the league.

During the joint training, another young player from Castilla was transferred to the first team.

As soon as Li Ang saw that familiar face, which was not immature but slightly mature, he took him to greet the stars of the first team in a familiar manner.

"Carlos, don't be too nervous. Follow me to familiarize yourself with the tactics and new teammates. You might have a chance to play in the next round of the league. Then I will be on the court to support you. Come on, I am optimistic about your future development! "

Hesse, who had just greeted the newcomers with a smile, was stunned when he heard what Li Ang said.

Did Li Ang also tell him this before?

The slightly innocent Jose was still confused, but the Castilla brothers, who had long been familiar with Li Ang's temperament, were not surprised.

Li Ang's set of introduction words can be slightly changed to say it again.

This means that Matuidi is not here, otherwise he might be confused.

Because it was the same rhetoric when Li Ang introduced Matuidi to everyone!

However, Casemiro, who was newly promoted to the first team, did not know the meaning of this and was very grateful to Li Ang for his kindness.

He just moved to Real Madrid's second team on loan from Brazil this winter.

Because of his good performance in the second division, Karanka liked him, so Mourinho simply transferred him to the first team.

The training process is the same as that of Nacho Morata and the others before him. They adapt to training and tactics first, and then rotate into the field if they perform well.

If the tactical effect is achieved, Real Madrid will remain in the first team.

However, it is already the end of the season. Mourinho's most important consideration is to let Casemiro open his eyes in the previous team and play two games to get familiar with La Liga.

There is definitely no problem with this guy's potential, and he is highly recommended by Real Madrid's gold medal scout in South America.

If he can produce something in the limited playing time later, Real Madrid will pay for the multi-million buyout fee.

The slightly shy Casemiro has been following Li Ang almost since the first day he entered the Real Madrid first team.

This look is exactly the same as when Li Ang followed Alonso.

So much so that Pepe and Marcelo joked about the three of them.

Alonso smiled and said nothing, while Li Ang recognized the identity of Casemiro's big brother.

He doesn't dare to be a master. He is still learning from Brother Long. How can he dare to ask the university to teach Casemiro.

But he still has the courage to be a good big brother.

Aren't Morata and Jose his little brothers now?

If old acquaintances like Nacho and Carvajal hadn't suppressed Leon once, he would now dare to call himself the leader of the post-90s generation in Castilla.

However, Li Ang is not the eldest brother for nothing. He usually pays for dinners with a group of brothers. He is also the most generous in giving gifts to anyone who has a birthday.

No way, except for him and Nacho, the rest of Castilla's post-90s members of Real Madrid's first team are still signing contracts with annual salaries of hundreds of thousands.

This annual salary is quite a lot for ordinary people, but it is certainly not that much for players in the top leagues.

Li Ang himself is not short of money, so of course he is more generous on weekdays.

Morata felt a little awkward at first, not as natural as Jose recognizing his elder brother.

But when Li Ang gave him a famous watch and the latest iPhone on his birthday in October last year, the boy became so nimble.

Bringing Casemiro this time is no exception. After Casemiro joined the team on his first day of training, Liang made a special reservation at a well-known Brazilian restaurant in downtown Madrid.

All brothers, big and small, call forward to support the new little brother!

Good guy, as soon as this enthusiastic attitude came out, Casemiro, a young guy who still had a little low self-esteem, was almost moved to tears.

After the dinner that night, Li Ang took a group of young Real Madrid players to a nearby private arcade to play for several hours.

They are both young people. As soon as they have a meal and play a few games, the relationship will naturally develop very quickly.

After being sent home by Li Ang personally, Casemiro was so excited that he tweeted that night.

"Today I met a super nice guy, he is my good big brother"

Casemiro, who is still in the "somewhat famous" stage, does not have many fans, so his tweet naturally did not attract too much attention.

But thanks to the high-profile travel promotions of Leon and other Castilla gang brothers, Casemiro has initially become known to the majority of Real Madrid fans.

The views of these Real Madrid fans are simple and pure.

"This is the newcomer that the little lion is optimistic about. If he can play with the Castilla Gang, we must support him!"

So before the start of the league between Real Madrid and Real Betis, Casemiro's number of social media fans ushered in a small burst of growth.

At the pre-match press conference for the 32nd round of La Liga, Casemiro's name appeared on Real Madrid's 18-man roster.

The sharp-eyed reporters discovered that there was another round of digging for information and propaganda.

The 21-year-old young Brazilian midfielder is good at both offense and defense. He is another potential newcomer brought back by Real Madrid from South America.

La Liga fans immediately became interested.

Real Madrid's current lineup is solid enough, are they still developing defensive midfielders? !

Some people speculate that Essien will return to Chelsea next season, and Mourinho is taking precautions.

Some people also speculate that Alonso may be transferred next season, so Mourinho plans to reserve personnel for the midfielder position.

But no matter what the guess is, Casemiro, as a newcomer promoted to the first team by Real Madrid at the end of the season, has received a lot of media exposure and fan attention.

If it were to be an ordinary player, it would be too late to be happy at this moment or that moment.

But Casemiro felt increasingly nervous, fearing that his subsequent poor performance would disappoint Real Madrid fans.

He has also been a professional player in the Brazilian League for a long time, but now he is in Real Madrid, in the central team of the entire football world!

The pressure is quite different.

Li Ang couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

This little guy is really an honest person!

During the warm-up before the game, Li Ang deliberately asked Casemiro to follow him to learn how to soothe his emotions before the game.

"Guess how many people will be there today?"

"I don't know."

"There could be 60,000 people!"

"ah?!"

"Well, it's a pity that we have finished playing Barcelona this season, otherwise you can experience the feeling of going to Camp Nou. That stadium can seat 100,000 people."

Li Ang chatted a few words and saw that Casemiro seemed to be more nervous, so he stopped teasing him.

"Okay, okay, let me tell you, if you really get a chance to play today, you must remember that you have struggled from the Brazilian League to La Liga. How many difficulties have you experienced during this process?

Compared with these difficulties, what are the scenes you are facing now so stressful?

Carlos, think of your family, your friends and the many fans in Brazil who will be watching you on TV today.

They are waiting to cheer and be proud of you. Do you want to represent the Brazilian national team on the local World Cup stage next year? "

After Li Ang finished speaking, he didn't say anything more and just patted Casemiro on the shoulder.

Casemiro's eyes widened, and after a while he licked his lips dryly.

Everything Li Ang said hit close to his vision.

For the sake of his family and friends, and for his dream of being called up by the Brazilian national team, he looked at the crowded Lopera Stadium, but felt relieved physically and mentally.

When the game officially started, Casemiro and Morata sat on the bench, watching their main players take the field first.

Real Betis this season, like Levante last season, is not a flash-in-the-pan team that started well.

Levante ranked sixth in La Liga last season, and so far this season, Real Betis is also ranked sixth in La Liga.

At present, Betis still beats Valencia by two points. If they can go one step further and overtake Malaga, which is only one point ahead of them, then Betis will definitely qualify for the European war!

Li Ang also didn't expect that his encouragement to his former teammates in the first half of the league would actually become a reality.

Real Betis, who are currently fighting to qualify for the European competition, are in high spirits and are eager to score points even when facing Real Madrid.

But Real Madrid used its overwhelming advantage to suppress Real Betis's counterattack in the first half.

Li Ang, who played as a central midfielder again today, showed no mercy to his old friend Benyat.

Fully suppressed and targeted.

His central midfielder played rougher than the defensive midfielder today.

Whether it's a fight or a foul, his presence directly freezes the core of Real Betis' midfield.

On the counterattack end, Li Ang was not weak at all, and his decisive pass through the ball helped his forwards repeatedly get the opportunity to face the Betis defense!

However, he did not receive an assist in the first half, even though Real Madrid quickly took a 2-0 lead.

During the halftime break, Benzema looked at Li Ang and could only grin.

His smile made it hard for Li Ang to complain about his spit cake today.

Yes, Li Ang sent Guo Feng a through ball and a ball in front of the penalty area today, both of which were knocked away by Guo Feng.

Instead, Guofeng made a ball in the penalty area for Ronaldo, but Ronaldo forced it in!

What else is there to say? Li Ang could only shake his head helplessly, blaming himself for not having the luck to harvest data today.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Alonso, who assisted Di Maria with a long pass to score Real Madrid's third goal, was replaced by Mourinho.

Essien comes on.

Four minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had made great achievements in passing and shooting, also came off the field and Morata came on.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mourinho is preparing for the next Champions League battle.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Modric was replaced by Mourinho again, and this time the person who replaced him was none other than Casemiro, who had caused discussion among fans before the game!

Casemiro, who was only 21 years old and two months old, was no longer nervous and shy. After taking a deep breath, he high-fived and hugged Modric, and stepped onto the La Liga field vigorously!

This is his debut at Real Madrid.

At this moment, Li Ang also smiled and waved his arms to the stands where Real Madrid fans gathered, indicating that his fans would give more applause and encouragement!

The Brazilian commentator was very excited and introduced this young Brazilian player who had previously performed well in the Brazilian league.

Casemiro, who had already calmed down his emotions, quickly focused on the game.

Even though Real Madrid now has a 3-0 lead, he still works very hard to intercept and defend in the half.

When Casemiro disrupted Betis midfielder Nosa's push with a crisp tackle.

Li Ang happily pulled him up from the turf, patted his chest, and encouraged him!

Remember his name, his name is Casemiro.

He won't let Real Madrid fans down!
