Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 175 Dortmund’s twin engines don’t work well in front of Li Ang [Please subscribe, guys! 】

Real Betis made a tenacious counterattack attempt at the last moment, but Real Madrid's defense shrank more promptly.

Although a new player came on the field today, Real Madrid still deployed a three-midfielder formation at the last moment.

Real Betis's strong attack was very painful, and the other La Liga fans who were watching the excitement were not happy after watching it. They felt the pain along with the Betis fans.

Because they discovered that this new defensive midfielder has great moves and fierce defense!

Although I only played for about ten minutes, I didn't see where Casemiro was strong offensively.

But just looking at this defensive attitude, fans who are watching can only say that Real Madrid may have really found another treasure!

This makes them feel very uncomfortable.

Doing the math, Real Madrid now has four players in the team who can play as defensive midfielders, two top players, one near first class, and a veteran who has just fallen from first class to near first class status.

Just this configuration has already made fans of most other teams in football envious.

As a result, not one of the four defensive midfielders was injured. Real Madrid has now promoted a new potential stock!

How to play!

Other teams are in dire need of midfielders, but Real Madrid's top-notch midfielder is still on the bench!

Moreover, Mourinho always puts up a three-midfielder or even a crazy four-back formation after a big lead.

It is very difficult for a team that is lagging behind to attack.

Seeing Real Betis playing so uncomfortable, many La Liga fans thought of the scene when their team faced Real Madrid in the future.

If you feel sad in your heart, you will naturally feel the same pain and suffer along with it.

But for Real Madrid fans, this scene is so exciting.

Casemiro's buyout fee is only 6 million.

6 million to buy a 21-year-old midfielder with potential, and currently his defensive performance in La Liga and La Liga is good.

Even if he doesn't develop offensive skills in the future, with his body and defensive aggressiveness, the 6 million is well worth it!

Real Madrid successfully defeated Real Betis 3-0 in the match.

Casemiro, who only played about 20 minutes, successfully completed his debut. His performance was quite satisfactory, but his defensive potential was clearly visible.

Good positional sense, strong confrontation, and decisive defensive will.

Under the exaggerated publicity by the media after the game, Casemiro, who had just made his La Liga debut, seemed to be a new star with unlimited potential.

But Casemiro himself knew it.

He is not the kind of super talent that has attracted much attention in Brazilian football since he was a child, such as Neymar.

His family and his growth experience have made his development steps very solid.

That is to say, he really couldn't refuse Real Madrid's loan request.

Otherwise, what he originally wanted was to log in to the Portuguese Super League first, and then find a way to log in to the four major leagues when he was 24 or 5 years old.

And since he was young, he played with a bunch of so-called "geniuses". His inconspicuousness and calm observation made him know the unreliability of the media.

After all, if what the Brazilian media said is true, then the kids who played with him back then should now be playing for giant European clubs and making a lot of money.

But the fact is that too many geniuses have become lost and fallen while growing up, and many of the reasons come from irresponsible flattery by the media.

He, a less talented person, has now become a member of Real Madrid.

Li Ang's encouragement and warning to Casemiro after the game were all remembered by Casemiro.

“Everything we have achieved now comes from our own efforts, keep working hard, keep working hard, Carlos, until you really touch your dreams.

By then, you will know that all the hard work you put in when you were young was worth it.

You will become the best defensive midfielder in Brazil, just like the seniors you admire, I am looking forward to seeing that day come. Come on! "

Li Ang, who is obviously only about one year older than Casemiro, used his sincerity and maturity at this moment to gain Casemiro's trust and admiration.

The day after the game, Li Ang ended his vacation early in the afternoon as usual and came to the training base for additional training.

To his surprise, it was Casemiro who had been sitting in the locker room waiting for him.

Li Ang smiled happily.

So the number of additional training personnel that day also became two.

When Ronaldo came to the base early for physiotherapy at around 5 o'clock, what he saw was Liang and Casemiro who were sweating profusely.

So the three of them did physical therapy and swimming together, and didn't drive out to eat together until seven o'clock.

With Cristiano Ronaldo treating him, Li Ang was naturally not polite and ordered a quite sumptuous post-training meal.

News that the three of them practiced eating together soon appeared on the Internet.

Mourinho also smiled with satisfaction after seeing the screenshot of the news Karanka sent him in the evening.

"This kid will have a bright future. Let Li Ang take care of him. Maybe we can get another surprise by then."

The evaluation given by Mourinho in his text message reply was not low, but it was also within Karanka's expectation.

After all, he has been working with Mourinho for almost three years, and he also knows that Mourinho likes young players who have potential and are willing to actively train.

Coupled with the buff of a defensive midfielder, it is strange that Casemiro does not receive Mourinho's attention.

"Give him a few more opportunities to play and perform in the future. If appropriate, keep him in the team for training next season. After Michael (Essien) returns to Chelsea, we will continue to maintain the reserve of four midfielders. This kid's playing time No less."

Casemiro still doesn't know that Mourinho has already made up his mind to slowly train him and give him one or two seasons to improve.

He continues to strengthen his tacit understanding with his new teammates through substantial daily training and additional training.

However, after playing against Real Betis, he would have to wait at least a week if he wanted to get another chance to officially play in a game.

The first-round showdown between Real Madrid and Dortmund in the Champions League semi-finals was on the way, and now he could only watch it with envy, unable to participate.

On April 22, Dortmund's main players arrived in Madrid one day early with the coaching staff to adapt to the venue.

The atmosphere of the Champions League war in the entire city of Madrid instantly became stronger.

Atletico Madrid fans looked envious.

The competition rules for the Champions League have not yet been reformed.

Even though Atletico Madrid was the Europa League champion last season, they only finished fifth in La Liga last season.

So this season they can still only play in the Europa League and not the Champions League.

Although Atletico Madrid has once again entered the Europa League semi-finals, on the evening of April 25th, they will face Benfica at home.

But now that their rivals in the same city are about to play in the Champions League semi-finals again, Atletico Madrid fans can't help but feel envious from the bottom of their hearts.

This is the semi-finals of the Champions League!

They have already won the Europa League and won it twice in the past three seasons.

The feeling of winning the championship is great, but compared with playing in the Champions League and reaching the final four, the Europa League championship does not seem so good.

"It's okay, we can play in the Champions League next season! Our results will not be bad by then, and the whole of Europe will be surprised by the new Atletico Madrid!"

Some Atletico Madrid fans posted messages online to comfort their fans.

Envy is envy, but Atletico Madrid's results now also give Atletico Madrid fans more confidence.

Real Madrid continues to maintain the only lead in La Liga, but under Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid is currently the only one.

This year the league finally produced results, and Simeone's coaching skills have been recognized by fans and club owners.

After completing the reinforcements in the summer window, Atletico Madrid will finally shine with their iron-blooded style in the Champions League next season.

At this moment, Real Madrid fans have no time to ridicule the inexplicable confidence of their city rivals.

They have already quarreled with Dortmund and even Bundesliga fans online.

Real Madrid's current size is here, and there was no talk of a close match before the game.

Even if Bayern Munich arrives in Madrid early today, the media will overwhelmingly believe that Real Madrid is the more dominant and powerful team.

Just like the public opinion treatment that Cosmos Barcelona received in previous years.

So now not only the fans of the Hornets, but also the fans of Bayern in the Bundesliga are clearly on the side of Dortmund.

Of course, this kind of support does not mean that Bayern fans support Dortmund.

They still hope that Dortmund can play more of Real Madrid's tactical cards.

No matter how bad the situation is, we still have to spend more time on the game state of the Real Madrid players.

The rest of the Bundesliga fans have more pure ideas.

Regardless of whether it is realistic or not, they still want to see this year's Champions League final turn into a Bundesliga civil war.

If Dortmund really creates a miracle and knocks Real Madrid out.

If they surf the Internet in the future and encounter fans of "Nishibuki" and "Eibuki", they will have sufficient reasons to fight back.

A showdown between strong teams and a battle of traffic and public opinion is about to begin at the Bernabeu.

Reporter teams from various countries gathered in Madrid early.

Radio 5 also sent a "commentary team" and a press team to Madrid early.

On the afternoon of April 23, before the players and fans on both sides entered the stadium, the commentary box was already filled with on-site commentators debugging equipment.

He Wei and Duan Xuan had a rare strong partnership today, and the guest commentator was also Director Zhang. This lineup is really luxurious.

Channel 5, which released a preview of the commentary lineup earlier, once again attracted the attention and expectations of the vast majority of domestic fans.

As the local time in Madrid progressed, the huge Bernabeu began to let the fans into the stadium.

There was a small warm-up concert before the game, with local Spanish stars and an English boy band performing on stage.

The atmosphere at the scene was still good.

However, after the players from both sides entered the stadium together and started to warm up, the Bernabeu venue immediately erupted into enthusiastic cheers that were dozens of times higher than before!

Li Ang felt Gotze's gaze on him in the player tunnel, but he did not deliberately ignore or avoid it.

He smiled and nodded to Gotze generously, as if he was saying a simple hello.

His relaxed posture made Gotze's eyes glazed over.

The German new star knew that Li Ang was just as promoted by the Western media before the game, and still did not regard himself as his opponent.

"Li Ang only regards me as an ordinary opponent, just like the opposing players he usually encounters in games!"

Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and Gotze subconsciously felt a sense of suffocation.

But he didn't know who to be angry with.

Li Ang was quite kind and friendly to him after playing the game before, and he didn't say anything bad about him to the media.

So Gotze couldn't be angry with Li Ang.

In the end, he looked like he was sulking at himself.

Li Ang didn't know Gotze's little thoughts at this moment, but he was indeed just like Gotze thought, and he did not regard Gotze as his competitor.

This is a duel between two teams. Li Ang puts the team's victory first in any game he plays.

Do you want him and Gotze to compete with each other like children about their individual performance?

That's just stupid.

Li Ang never thought about this at all.

But he didn't want to, he couldn't stand the media publicity before the game.

When the live broadcast officially started, Director Zhang jokingly guessed the performance levels of Li Ang and Gotze today in the studio.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the sides of He Wei and Duan Xuan, but they are still relatively reserved, unlike Director Zhang who said "Li Ang just restrains Gotze's performance".

After talking about things outside the stadium for a while, as players from both teams came on the field, Duan Xuan also became energetic and began to send messages to He Wei.

"Okay, now you can see that the players on both sides have lined up. Let's ask He Wei to introduce the starting players and formations of both sides in today's game to the audience!"

"Okay, today's starting situation for Dortmund as a guest at the Bernabeu is as follows:

The goalkeeper is No. 1 Weidenfeller.

The left back is No. 29 Schmelzer, the two central defenders are No. 15 Hummels and No. 4 Subotic, and the right back is No. 26 Piszczek.

In the midfield, No. 6 Svenwind and No. 8 Gundogan trailed behind, while No. 10 Gotze advanced.

The left and right midfielders are No. 11 Royce and No. 16 Kuba respectively.

The forward center is No. 9 Lewandowski. "

“As for the home team Real Madrid, the starting goalkeeper today is No. 1 Casillas.

The left back is No. 5 Coentrao, the center back is No. 3 Pepe and No. 4 Ramos, and the right back is No. 6 Essien.

In the midfield, No. 14 Alonso and No. 10 Li Ang trailed behind, and No. 8 Modric served as the central midfielder.

On his left and right sides are No. 7 Ronaldo and No. 22 Di Maria.

The starting center forward is No. 9 Benzema. "

As soon as He Wei finished his introduction, Director Zhang started to analyze with his mouth shut.

"The formation basically starts with 4, 2, 3, 1, and both sides can change the formation to play 4, 3, and 3 at any time. Gundogan and Li Ang can also play as central midfielders in the starting position at any time. The two teams are very similar.

I feel that today is very interesting at the tactical level. Mourinho and Klopp will try their best to catch the opponent's offense and defense transition errors.

After all, their teams are good at playing fast counterattacks.”

As soon as Director Zhang finished his tactical analysis, the referee, who was holding his watch to check the time, blew the whistle to start the game at the right time!

Duan Xuan also took over the conversation and began to read the opening remarks.

"Place the stage, stage the stage! Dear viewers, welcome to the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League semi-finals."

Today, Dortmund, wearing a yellow and black jersey, launched a fierce attack at the beginning despite the fierce boos at the Bernabeu!

Klopp, who learned the lessons of his previous two losses to Real Madrid, did not let Gotze dominate the offense at the start today.

Dortmund's playmaker has become the deep-lying Gundogan, while Kuba and Royce, who started today, have become the starting points for the Hornets' rhythm.

Gotze became the connecting point in the frontcourt and a second forward who played without the ball.

If this set of tactics is used in the group stage, Mourinho is indeed likely to be uncomfortable by Klopp's strange moves.

But what Klopp didn't expect was that Mourinho did not arrange for Li Ang to mark Gotze today.

Yes, after Li Ang gave his advice, the tactical task Mourinho gave him today was to start a large-scale sweep and interception in the backcourt.

In other words, whether it is Gotze, Royce, or even Kuba, they are all Li Ang's targets today!

Dortmund's frontcourt features a center and a group of quick players.

Most of the goals Real Madrid conceded against the Hornets before came from Royce's early advancement.

After the subsequent two rounds of knockout rounds, Royce and Gotze were in even better shape.

If there is no Li Ang in the Real Madrid team now and only relies on Alonso and Modric, then the Hornets may really break up the formation repeatedly on the defensive end.

But there is no such thing as if.

Real Madrid has the best defender in football today against small and fast players!

Since Dortmund has shown a trend of evolution, today's battle is doomed. Mourinho will use his strongest shield to crush their counterattack.

In the first minute of the game, when Li Ang made a sideways tackle and forced Royce to stop, Klopp had a bad feeling in his heart.

Li Ang stopped attacking and had no intention of advancing. He just ran around and stayed in the Real Madrid half!

Gotze didn't take the ball, and Li Ang wasn't even interested in watching him.

Whether it's Royce or Kuba, if they think about the rhythm on both wings, they have to face Li Ang's possible oncoming sweep and interception.

Of course, Mourinho did not adopt the tactic of double-sweeping the midfielder today, which resulted in Dortmund's offensive rhythm being intermittent when Li Ang grabbed it, but he could always play a good threatening offensive.

After all, Li Ang is only one person. No matter how he can run, he must have a focused path. This path is naturally the left wing of Dortmund where Royce is.

Modric is responsible for launching the offense and can only help defend Kuba and Gotze.

With Coentrao in average condition today, Kuba is still very capable.

Mourinho frowned on the sidelines, but he still believed that Coentrao could quickly adjust his condition.

And when Real Madrid also played smooth cooperation on the counterattack, posing a threat to Dortmund, Mourinho gradually relaxed.

Today Real Madrid still have to fight with Dortmund in attack.

If Li Ang can control Royce's performance along the way, take care of the middle, and grab the ball at the feet of Gundogan and Gotze, then Real Madrid can quickly take the tactical initiative.

In the seventh minute of the first half, the young and energetic Royce did not believe in evil. He once again received a pass from Gotze in the middle and tried to pull towards Modric and Li Ang who were double-teaming him.

At first, as Royce advanced, Liang and Modric were still retreating slowly.

But the moment Modric retreated into the defensive third zone, Li Ang took the initiative to move forward!

Royce's face lit up, and he forced himself to cut inside and go to the middle!

But the joy in his eyes disappeared in the next moment.

Because he found that he was cutting inside and changing direction, as if he happened to hit the path of Li Ang's decisive shovel!

Li Ang's decisive shovel made Royce unable to dodge at all. He didn't even have time to make a pass and fell to the turf!

The man fell and the ball was lost. The only good thing about Royce when he fell was that Li Ang failed to control the ball immediately.

The football bounced and rolled irregularly toward the top of the center circle.

Modric reacted quickly enough, but Gotze still jumped out one step ahead to lead the ball forward.

And Li Ang got up from the turf almost at the same time and started chasing after him.

Royce hugged his calf which was still a little sore. Seeing that the referee didn't show any signs, he knew that the whistle would definitely not sound, so he could only get up slowly.

The Real Madrid fans at the scene suddenly let out a thunderous exclamation!

At first, Gotze thought these fans were worried that his dribbling would cause big trouble to Real Madrid's defense.

He was so excited that he was about to swing his legs and send a through ball while observing Lewandowski's movement.

But the next second, the appearance of a familiar force at his side made him quickly wake up!

Real Madrid fans were not exclaiming for his threat with the ball, but for Li Ang's super-fast pursuit speed!

"damn it!"

Gotze wants to continue to maintain physical control of the ball, but his confrontation ability with Li Ang is at least one level behind!

The moment he grabbed the ball, Li Ang decisively chose to pass the ball from side to side.

Coentrao stepped forward and Real Madrid launched a counterattack, while Mourinho clenched his fists and waved excitedly on the sidelines!

What Hornet Attack Dual Engine?

In front of the little lions of Madrid, that doesn't work!
