Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Li Ang's confident speech to reporters quickly won the enthusiastic support and approval of Real Madrid fans.

Even though they have been suppressed by two rival teams in the league in recent years, the proud temperament that belongs to Real Madrid cannot be damaged!

If other Real Madrid main players stood up and said this at this moment, they might still be hesitant to "join the group."

But now that Li Ang has won the Ballon d'Or and confidently returned to Real Madrid, he stepped forward to challenge his opponents. Naturally, the Meilingers said nothing and had to fight to the end!

Fans of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona feel somewhat guilty when facing Li Ang. After all, regardless of whether Li Ang has been in Real Madrid in the past few seasons, his record against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona has a crushing advantage.

Li Ang's nickname of "Western Super League Killer" was not given for nothing.

As the only top star to defeat the top three players in the Western Premier League in the past few seasons, even the fans who hate him the most have to be convinced by his ability to fight tough battles.

But just as the Mellingers don't want to lose Real Madrid's pride and dignity, supporters of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona also want to protect the face of their clubs.

Therefore, they were rarely united together to ridicule and refute Li Ang's domineering declaration.

Li Ang had just returned to Real Madrid, but only one speech directly caused the two major La Liga fan groups to declare war!

The Western media were extremely happy to see this public opinion stance!

What a blessing from God!

Although the old madman has not returned to La Liga, fortunately the "little madman" is back now.

This domineering and insulting posture is very energetic at first glance!

I must interview Li Ang more often in the future. The popularity of this topic and traffic is really rising. The free traffic is really great!

The Meilingers are one against two, and they are inseparable from the fans of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid who are killing each other on the Internet.

But the instigator made no move after stirring up the emotions of the fans.

Only the reporters who squatted outside the Valdebebas training base every day faithfully proved the authenticity of Li Ang's extra training with a photo.

Even though most of the main players of Real Madrid's first team have not returned to the team to participate in joint training, Li Ang and a group of substitute young players are still training in full swing.

Under Zidane's strong suggestion, Ancelotti finally nodded and invited Pintus back from Ligue 1 and agreed to improve his physical fitness in this summer's pre-season training.

With Pintus, the master of physical training, Ancelotti does not need to worry about the training plan.

After returning to Real Madrid, Pintus was very happy to develop a devilish training plan for the young players of Real Madrid.

Older veterans can slowly adapt and gradually increase their training volume.

But this group of young players, just like Li Ang and Nacho a few years ago, will never escape the "clutch" of Pintus!

Li Ang naturally took the lead, and as the team's big brother and role model, he accepted Pintus' devilish physical training.

Well, anyway, after the first day of Real Madrid's devilish training, according to an exclusive report by "Marca", Li Ang looked at the Castilla juniors who were vomiting and laughed quite pervertedly...

Fans don’t know whether such gossip is true or false.

But they are very clear about the fact that Li Ang has outstanding physical fitness.

With Li Ang as a training example, the young players in Real Madrid's first team will naturally train harder and harder.

Real Madrid's coaching staff has also become mysterious. Neither Ancelotti nor Zidane disclosed any news about the current training camp.

On July 16, just after Real Madrid held a grand home welcome ceremony for Leon, the Real Madrid club officially announced that the team would fly to the United States for training the next day.

It is worth mentioning that this time, the Bernabeu for Li Ang’s home welcome ceremony was completely full, with more than 81,000 people coming!

The number of fans present to watch Li Ang return to Real Madrid also directly broke the record when Ronaldo joined Real Madrid.

Such a big scene attracted media from all over the world to rush to report on it.

And the Real Madrid fans, whose passion was ignited by Li Ang's successful return, once again let the world see the influence of the largest football club!

When Li Ang went to North America for training with the team, the media and fans' discussions about him and Real Madrid also set off a wave of enthusiasm in the Americas.

This time, Li Ang is no longer a supporting role beside superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria. He has become the well-deserved protagonist of Real Madrid's North American tour!

Even Modric, Casemiro, James Rodriguez, Benzema, Bale and other Real Madrid's main players returned to the United States to participate in joint training within two days.

But the enthusiastic fans gathered outside the hotel where the Real Madrid team stayed were still discussing Li Ang excitedly!

There is no way, Li Ang's popularity in football has been rising in recent years, but he is too partial to fans in China and Europe, and has never had a few decent business trips to North America.

If he only talks about his football skills, the onlookers in North America may not necessarily be interested in him. After all, this has never been the focus of football development.

But based on popularity, today's Li Ang and Messi and Ronaldo can really dominate the world in North America!

Without him, he is handsome enough, has a good figure, and has a strong character!

Mendes didn't know where he recruited the talented North American management team, and his marketing methods for Li Ang were almost the same as those used by European and American fans.

There is no need to promote football skills, but they are 100% expert at promoting the honors and excellent external image that Li Ang has received!

So much so that Li Ang is now very surprised that he has a group of enthusiastic "fans" in North America.

But whether people like him because of his skills or other qualities, this support still touches him.

People bought his jersey, bought his development peripherals, picked him up at the airport and waited outside the hotel with a sign. After all, they spent enthusiasm and money.

Of course, Li Ang responded enthusiastically. As long as there were no problems with the security conditions, he tried his best to satisfy the requests of these North American fans for autographs, photos and even hugs.

Nacho, a good brother who lived in the same room as Li Ang, stroked his beard and teased Li Ang for several days.

Finally, in order to refute Nacho's opinion that young female fans only like him because they like pretty actors, Li Ang deliberately grew a stubble during the training in the next few days.

It's just like Ronaldo who insists on looking black against the fans' wishes, focusing on rebellion.

However, facts have also proved that these girls in the fandom who may not like Li Ang because of his football skills are still very "single-minded".

Even though Li Ang showed his unshaven side to the public camera, they still did not dislike it and praised Li Ang's "mature style" on the Internet.

This made Nacho suspicious of life. Every day after getting up, he would touch his beard and lament in the mirror.

Than a beard?

Isn't his beard more stylish and thicker than Li Ang's?

But why do those girls say they like mature style, but in fact they don’t even look at themselves...

In this society, handsome men are indeed more popular!

Nacho is complaining about God's randomness and unfairness in shaping everyone's face.

On the other side, James Rodriguez, who also has outstanding appearance and is now extremely popular throughout America, is not happy at all.

Compared with the number of female fans, what he pays more attention to now is whether he can maintain his main position in the Real Madrid team.

To be honest, he was very happy when Real Madrid officially announced the successful introduction of Li Ang. After all, the team's strength in the new season is destined to be greatly strengthened.

But the more he thought about it later, the more he felt something was wrong. Before Li Ang left Real Madrid, he had a tacit cooperation with Casemiro and Modric.

Ancelotti has indeed given him the absolute main position in the midfield and frontcourt in the past two seasons, and he has also delivered an answer that is enough to satisfy the fans and media.

But once Li Ang returns to Real Madrid, if he wants to play the tenth position, he will definitely not be able to compete with Li Ang.

Even if Li Ang plays the eighth position, will he definitely have an advantage when facing Modric's strong competition?

James, who has worked with Modric for two years, is also very aware of Modric's versatility and upper limit in the midfield.

So he always had no confidence during this period.

After a full week of training in the United States, and before the start of the International Champions Cup friendly match, James Rodriguez finally ushered in the final "trial".

He ultimately failed to make the starting eleven for the first International Champions Cup match!

Even though he had been mentally prepared in advance, when this moment really came, he still felt very lost.

Ancelotti communicated with him privately and told him not to think too much. He only said that this was an experimental selection for the friendly match to run the lineup.

But James is no longer a naive young player in his early 20s. He understands that his tactical status in the entire Real Madrid coaching staff has been greatly reduced.

Perhaps Real Madrid really no longer needs a No. 10 position in the new season. The double central midfielder combination of Leon and Modric is enough to provide Real Madrid's new midfielder with stronger offensive and defensive capabilities...

When he thought of this, James became even more frustrated.

However, current Real Madrid fans will not care too much about the ups and downs of this Real Madrid midfield darling last season.

At 19:30 on July 27th, North American time, Real Madrid’s first International Champions Cup friendly match in the United States officially kicked off. They will take the lead against Paris Saint-Germain.

Cristiano Ronaldo will not return to the team for training after his vacation after this friendly match, and Bale still needs some rest time. Therefore, except for the midfield, Real Madrid's front and backcourt configuration is not star-studded in this game.

But Li Ang's start still brought a huge amount of fan attention to this game.

He also partnered with Casemiro and Modric on the same stage again after three years!

In comparison, Paris Saint-Germain has many more main players starting friendly matches than Real Madrid.

Many of the brothers from Real Madrid also gathered on the court again.

Higuain, Di Maria, Li Ang, Ramos, Nacho...

The scene of several Real Madrid players from the Mourinho era tacitly looking at each other and smiling on the court also made countless Real Madrid fans sigh in front of the TV.

They miss the invincible Super Real Madrid, miss these players who brought them countless happy memories, and miss their precious youth time even more.

Fortunately, Li Ang, who has now put on the white jersey of Real Madrid again, has given them great comfort.

When they saw Li Ang receiving a back pass from his Real Madrid teammate and beginning to confidently direct the team's movement, many Mellingers had a sense of "what year was it now" in their hearts.

And Li Ang, who has only been practicing with the Real Madrid team for just over two weeks, is not afraid of stage fright at this moment.

He had already understood Ancelotti's tactical framework and midfield operation logic earlier.

In addition, most of his teammates are former teammates he is familiar with, so he does not have too many problems adapting.

The current run-in is for him to learn more about the playing habits and technical characteristics of his "new teammates".

For example, Li Ang has never worked with young players such as Kovacic, Danilo, Marcos Llorente and Mariano before, so he needs more trial and error to cooperate with them.

But with the tacit understanding of cooperation with Modric, Casemiro, Ramos, Jesé and Isco, Li Ang still has no problem.

Take the midfield organization at the beginning of the game as an example. Li Ang's control of the rhythm was almost perfect. He is much stronger than when he left Real Madrid, and his organizational skills are not inferior to Modric.

But even though he can do most of the work of midfield organization, Li Ang still chooses to hand over the task of advancing with the ball and attacking with the ball to Modric at this moment.

The two of them work together in the midfield like a pair of gears with a natural tacit understanding. Li Ang sorts out the ball and Modric changes the attack.

This immediately greatly improved the offensive organization efficiency of Real Madrid's midfield.

What makes commentators from all over the world marvel at this moment is that what Li Ang did at Chelsea before is clearly what Modric is doing at Real Madrid now.

But now that he is transformed into "Kross", he can still control the organization of the midfield and backfield. This ability to smoothly change different roles in the midfield structure is really rare!

Ancelotti nodded repeatedly as he watched from the audience. He had no doubts about Li Ang's ability to do this.

What he admires even more is Li Ang's intelligent brain that can always rationally analyze the situation on the field and always restrain himself to make the most helpful choice for the team!

The midfield configuration of Paris Saint-Germain is not low at all when viewed across Europe, but at this moment, facing the joint suppression of Leon and Modric, Verratti and Pastore could only retreat in a row, and soon lost their The battle for control of the midfield.

Real Madrid, which pressed forward as a whole, also launched a series of smooth attacks in the PSG half.

With a steady stream of offensive firepower support, Isco and Jesé, with divine help, continue to use their excellent skills to create threats in the rib area of ​​the Paris half!

The Real Madrid fans who watched this series of silky attacks were in high spirits!

At this moment, they just want to shout to the whole world from Versailles:

"Look, look! What does a golden ball-level midfield core mean?"
