Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"The game is over, the game is over! Congratulations to Chelsea! They have reached the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons! Regardless of whether they can win the Champions League again this season, they have set a new record in team history!

At the same time, we also hope that Atletico Madrid players will not be discouraged. They lost today's matchup and the chance to enter the Champions League final, but their future is still extremely bright!

In recent seasons, we have seen the tough spirit and tenacious playing style of Atletico Madrid.

Maybe they really just lack a little luck. Fortunately, most of the main players in their team are still very young. In football, youth is the greatest asset!

So there is no need to be depressed, believe in yourself, pick up your mood, and come back next year! "

In the live broadcast room of LeTV Sports, Zhan Jun suppressed the excitement of wanting to cheer loudly and read out the draft he had prepared long ago.

While congratulating Chelsea first, he also comforted and promoted Atletico Madrid. He left his personal emotions to be vented in private. He tried his best to give an impartial explanation to the public. This style is very Zhanjun.

Director Zhang, who was sitting next to him at the moment, looked at Li Ang, who was still hugging and laughing with his teammates in the live broadcast, with a smile on his face.

They have praised Li Ang too many times when commentating on games.

Now Director Zhang just laughed twice outside the camera, and the Chinese fans subconsciously imagined the scene of Director Zhang staring at Li Ang and praising him non-stop.

But what Director Zhang is thinking more about now is how high Li Ang's status in football will be if he successfully defends the Champions League again this year.

You know, after leading Chelsea to the Champions League successfully last season, Li Ang, like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, became the player with the most Champions League titles in active service.

And compared to Messi's first Champions League championship, which was discussed and questioned by fans from all walks of life, Li Ang, like Ronaldo, participated in the entire process and won the three Champions League championship trophies as the absolute main force.

Previously, when fans discussed the Champions League, they could not avoid Ronaldo, Li Ang and Messi, the three mountains that weighed on other stars.

But if Li Ang once again leads the team to the Champions League as the core of the team this summer, he will leave behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi and become the only active superstar to hold four Champions League trophies!

Although this achievement is not enough for Li Ang to directly surpass Messi and Ronaldo, becoming the undisputed first person in today's football.

But it is enough to further consolidate Li Ang's status in football, and the idea of ​​the top three in football will naturally be recognized by more fans.

Director Zhang is extremely looking forward to this day.

And many Chinese fans like him also discussed with great enthusiasm the grand scene after Li Ang won the Champions League again on the night Chelsea defeated Atletico Madrid!

After this battle, Li Ang once again became the king of topics in football at this stage.

Whether Ronaldo can regain the traffic throne depends on whether he and Real Madrid can successfully overturn Juventus in tomorrow night's battle.

If the Portuguese superstar once again changes his fate and helps Real Madrid overthrow their opponents, then another showdown between him and Li Ang will directly benefit the world's sports media.

This statement is not an exaggeration at all. After all, Real Madrid only met Chelsea in the group stage last year, and the ratings of the two teams' games directly destroyed other group stage games.

If the two teams really want to meet in this year's Champions League final, the excitement and publicity will be really high!

Mourinho and Real Madrid, Liang and Real Madrid, Mourinho and Ancelotti, Liang and Ronaldo...

A random group of these topics would be enough to feed several major sports newspapers in Europe with traffic.

If we really want to get together and report it to the newspapers, sports reporters will have no shortage of material to write about in the next few weeks or even after the Champions League final.

The media across Europe seemed to have unified opinions after seeing Chelsea successfully advance to the Champions League final, and began to collectively look forward to Real Madrid's successful breakthrough.

Such public opinion building has both advantages and disadvantages for Real Madrid at this time.

The optimism of the majority of the media and fans will naturally increase the confidence of Real Madrid players in making a comeback, but it has to be said that carrying too many people's expectations will also double the pressure on Real Madrid's generals!

Some stars are born with the ability to turn huge pressure into motivation, such as the paranoid Cristiano Ronaldo. This is also a rare talent. Such superstars can often inspire their teammates to create miracles in adversity.

But there are still too few superstars with Ronaldo's ability to withstand pressure, and the mentality of more stars will still be disturbed by the public opinion environment.

Like ordinary people, they will subconsciously look for someone they can rely on when facing greater than expected pressure.

Ronaldo and Ramos have always been strong leaders in Real Madrid who their teammates can rely on.

But by the end of the season, their physical fitness and energy were also rapidly depleted, and it was not yet time to get sufficient rest time.

Can they still turn the tide and save the team like they did in the middle and early stages of the season?

Many ardent Real Madrid fans may not realize this yet, but Li Ang is already worried about it.

There is no need to compare too many powerful teams. Let’s just talk about Chelsea itself. After surviving this devilish schedule, the first thing Mourinho did was to give all the main players a holiday!

Even if this will cause Chelsea to be undefeated in the last three league games.

Of course Mourinho also wants to achieve another undefeated Premier League title, but he has no say now.

Chelsea's team medical team has issued a red alert for physical exhaustion to seven of Chelsea's main players!

After competing with Manchester City, Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, the physical fitness accumulated by Chelsea in the middle and early stages of the season has almost been exhausted.

Chelsea, the most capable player in Europe, has now reached the end of its game, not to mention that they are older, but the head coach still likes to play Real Madrid with a main lineup.

In contrast, although the players of Juventus are also very tired, they have already won the Serie A title ahead of schedule, and like Chelsea, they are currently completely free of the drag of the league.

Allegri can at least allow the main players to take multiple rounds of rest in the league to slowly accumulate physical fitness.

And with the victory in the first round, the Juventus team is more calm and relaxed in mentality than Real Madrid.

Looking at this game from a neutral perspective, Li Ang is actually more optimistic about Juventus's success in advancing.

But everyone has selfish motives after all. Leon, who stayed in Madrid directly after getting the holiday, also updated social media without any concealment:

He directly indicated that he would go to the Bernabeu to cheer for Real Madrid on the night of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Juventus!

Such a clear-cut stand naturally allowed Li Ang to gain the "preference" of the Meilingers again.

On the evening of May 4th, Li Ang, accompanied by Mendes, sat in the VIP box at the Bernabeu.

Before that, he had already met and embraced many Real Madrid stars and famous seniors in football.

Raul, Figo, Roberto Carlos, Guti, Morientes…

Too many former superstars gathered at the Bernabeu today just to witness Real Madrid's comeback.

In addition, many entertainment stars and even political figures appeared at today's game.

The popularity of this super fight and the pre-match publicity can be seen from this.

Ancelotti finally played his tactical trump card in tonight's game. James Rodriguez, whom he had always used before, sat on the bench today, and Isco was the starter instead.

This was beyond the expectations of many media and fans before the game.

As a result, Li Ang became interested in Ancelotti's offensive skills.

Although Real Madrid still played 433 in today's game, not the variant 4222 that Mourinho once played.

But Li Ang feels that its tactical use is still the same.

Isco's presence can provide Real Madrid's midfield with more ball control and the ability to get rid of the ball.

Just like when Mourinho asked Di Maria to drop back and play in the midfield.

And the activity of technical players like them in taking the ball in the midfield and offensive end is enough to make the opponent's defense players consume a lot of defensive energy for them.

Perhaps Ancelotti's idea is to let Isco fight a war of attrition first, and then replace James with James in the second half for a harvest war?

Li Ang was not sure, but if he thought about it carefully, this was actually very similar to what he remembered about Zidane's later use of Isco.

Li Ang, who was patient, observed the positioning of the starting players of Real Madrid and Juventus today.

At 7:45 pm local time in Madrid, the referee on duty held his watch and decisively blew the whistle to start the game!

Like Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, which lost the away game in the first round but did not score an away goal, actively launched an offensive test at home from the beginning of the game!

Today, no one in the BBC combination on Real Madrid's front line was absent. Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale also launched a strong attack on Juventus' defensive system from both wings.

But facing Juventus' 451 positioning system that places great emphasis on wing defense, even players as strong as Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale feel a little embarrassed about what to say.

Give up the offense for the time being, deploy two lines of defense on the wings, and put three big men with good physical fitness in the middle of the midfield to defend and strangle.

This defensive focus and his fondness for muscular men in the midfield are full of embarrassment.

Li Ang only watched the game for a while and subconsciously recalled the days when he was a midfield troublemaker in Milan with Gattuso and Boateng...

It has to be said that although Uncle James has always been criticized by the media in Serie A over the years, his skills in making meals are more refined than before.

Give him powerful star players and he can arrange positions to produce results.

When he has to use "blue-collar" players, he can also arrange appropriate tactics based on the characteristics of these players to take advantage of their strengths.

At this time, midfielder Sturaro, who was starting in the Juventus team, used his tireless running and sweeping to achieve good results in the central midfielder position.

After Allegri moved his position forward, his excellent physical fitness and large defensive coverage greatly interfered with Real Madrid's offensive organization.

The deep-lying partnership of Pogba and Khedira can also securely protect Juventus' defense.

When necessary, the two of them grabbed the ball without even dribbling forward. They only needed to launch a counterattack and long pass to make full use of Juventus' numerical advantage on the wing today.

It can be said that Allegri's starting arrangement today fully utilized Juventus's wing defense and counterattack advantages.

After Real Madrid's two wing offensive superstars fell into a defensive quagmire, the overall offensive progress also came to a standstill.

This scene couldn't help but make the Mellingers once again complain about the "rigidity" of their head coach Carlo Ancelotti's employment.

After all, when Ronaldo and Bale are both physically fit and in good condition, facing such a situation is just a matter of attacking a few more times.

Can a few more defensive personnel be deployed to limit peak Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale?

Then the titles of these two superstars came too easily!

The tactics Allegri arranged were very targeted and effective, but in essence, he still took advantage of the lack of physical fitness of Real Madrid's main players.

However, seeing that the two ace players were performing mediocrely against Juventus' defense at this moment, Ancelotti adjusted his tactics in time and allowed Isco to control the offensive ball in advance!

This adjustment is undoubtedly a very correct one. Isco, who has been playing as a substitute in the first half of the season, has no problems with his physical fitness, and he is also very confident in his skills.

After gaining sufficient tactical status, Isco quickly used his delicate dribbling on the offensive end to tear apart Juventus' midfield defense bit by bit!

After all, he was a player that Barcelona almost bought and wanted to train as the next Iniesta.

Even if he still has the problem of sticking to the ball, Isco can now be regarded as the top offensive midfielder in European football.

After revitalizing Real Madrid's frontcourt offense with points and areas, Isco and Modric cooperated tacitly and began to use faster passing frequency to shift the direction of the attack and involve Juventus's defense.

In the 33rd minute of the first half, Ronaldo, who finally found a chance, got rid of his old teammate Evra's marking on the wing and successfully penetrated into the Juventus penalty area!

At this time, Modric, who had just received the transfer ball from Isco, decisively sent a precise cross!

Ronaldo used his speed advantage to get rid of Barzagli's defensive interference and scored with a header, successfully helping Real Madrid equalize the total score in the first half of the game!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored this key goal, was very excited, with red cheeks and roared in celebration in front of the live camera!

He was under tremendous pressure and the expectations of hundreds of millions of fans before the game, but he still withstood the pressure and stepped forward, becoming Real Madrid's superhero in times of adversity!

The scene at the Bernabeu also became fanatical and agitated!

Li Ang also stood up from the box and cheered for Real Madrid's goal. The live broadcast camera quickly captured this scene, and the cheers of the Meilingers at the scene became even more enthusiastic!

Real Madrid, which had successfully torn apart Juventus' defense, wanted to strike while the iron was hot and continue to suppress Juventus in an effort to expand their lead.

But with Allegri's prompt comfort, Juventus' players did not appear panicked.

They still stayed in the half court step by step and patiently looked for opportunities to counterattack.

At this time, Real Madrid's aggressive forward pressure just gave Juventus such an opportunity!

In the 41st minute of the first half, Bell, who once again changed positions with Ronaldo, started on the wing and beat Lichtsteiner away.

After clearing the bottom line, Bell sent a smooth pass. This time, with the help of Ronaldo's cover in the front of the penalty area, Benzema successfully grabbed a point in the middle of the penalty area!

However, the angle of his header this time was slightly more positive. Buffon's sword was still young and he firmly took off Benzema's header shot.

Just when the Real Madrid generals were still regretting Benzema's missed goal opportunity, Buffon had already issued a quick hand throw!

And Pogba, who took over the ball from the wing, also sent a long counterattack pass after a brief observation!

The football directly skipped the midfield organization and flew towards the Real Madrid half.

Morata took the lead in retreating to occupy a favorable position to receive the ball and immediately transferred the football to the wing!

Cuadrado dribbled the ball along the sideline and rushed forward. At this moment, Marcelo was still in the Juventus half and failed to get back to the defense immediately.

This has changed from when Li Ang was still at Real Madrid, he would definitely step aside to fill Marcelo's position as soon as possible.

No matter what method he uses, he will stop Cuadrado immediately. In short, he will never let the opponent's winger dribble the ball towards his own defensive hinterland so easily.

But Casemiro does not have his speed advantage. Secondly, he made the mistake of seeking too much stability on the defensive end.

He returned to the defense very actively from the center, but Cuadrado, who successfully reached the bottom, did not lift the football into the penalty area that Real Madrid's defenders guarded tightly!

An inverted triangle pass gave Sturaro, who followed up, a chance to kick at the front of Real Madrid's penalty area!

The first reaction of Casemiro and Modric, who was returning to defense, was to double-team Sturaro!

But at this time, Sturaro attracted the defensive attention of Real Madrid's two midfielders, and then knocked the ball horizontally to the right side of the top of the arc in Real Madrid's penalty area!

At this moment, Pogba successfully stopped the ball under the gaze of countless fans. Then he held his breath and moved the ball forward. He then completed the accumulation of energy and hit a violent volley in front of the penalty area!

The football whirled and spun, and finally plunged into the upper left corner of Real Madrid's goal!

Navas, whose defensive vision was disrupted by his teammates, was completely helpless against this world wave!

2-1!

Juventus completed the lead in the total score, and they also scored a crucial away goal!

The Real Madrid fans who were singing loudly at home just a few minutes ago couldn't be happier anymore.

Li Ang sat in the box and covered his head with his hands.

He had already warned Modric and Casemiro to be careful about Pogba's explosive performance, but now...

Juventus, who had achieved the most ideal result, decisively began to shrink their formation and stick to the half-time. Real Madrid failed to change the score again before the end of the first half.

Throughout the second half, Real Madrid, which was physically exhausted, was almost lost in Juventus' all-out defensive stranglehold!

Although Bell received a cross from Ronaldo in the 82nd minute of the second half, he volleyed and scored Juventus' goal.

But in the end, Real Madrid still lost the chance to advance when all Juventus players defended!

The final score was 2-2, but Juventus successfully eliminated the pre-match favorite Real Madrid with the advantage of an away goal, successfully entered the Champions League final and became Chelsea's final opponent this season!

Allegri and his disciples celebrated passionately at the Santiago Bernabeu.

In Carvajal's emotional and regretful tears, Real Madrid ended this season's Champions League journey helplessly.

After the game, the live broadcast camera focused on Lafayette and Sanchez, the current CEO of Real Madrid.

The two Real Madrid giants were sullen in the stands.

Perhaps after this game is over, a new transfer storm will envelope the Bernabeu and the largest football club.

And Florentino has never wanted to bring Leon back to the Bernabeu as strongly as he does now!

What he wants to bring back with him even more is the glory of dominance that should belong to Real Madrid!
