Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 407 The Cruel Champions League King

Li Ang's "heartwarming" speech indeed made Ronaldo less criticized after the game.

However, this is not because the Spanish journalists have discovered their conscience and feel that they should not have cheated to win the European Cup. They still need more time to adjust to the super giants in the new season.

But because Li Ang's speech brought him into the public opinion field, many Western media reporters turned around and wrote about the personal friendly relationship between Li Ang and Ronaldo to gain some traffic.

There is no need to use this to mock Li Ang. After all, Li Ang is now the most popular player in the entire La Liga league, and Western media reporters are also pointing at Li Ang's various hot topics.

If the owner is offended, the loss will be huge if Li Ang's team doesn't accept their interview later.

But you can't ridicule openly, but you can still question it in a roundabout way.

Cristiano Ronaldo did perform abnormally in the first game after returning from injury. The whole world knows that you, Li Ang, and Cristiano Ronaldo have a good relationship, but can you protect your friends without thinking if you have a good relationship?

If you don't let us talk or question, then we will continue to question whether Ronaldo still has the strength to serve as Real Madrid's ace!

The Spanish media that jumped the most enthusiastically were waiting for Li Ang to continue to speak to refute their criticism of Ronaldo.

They don't want to really debate with Li Ang in the newspaper to decide the outcome. They just need Li Ang to continue to respond and keep this topic hot.

But Li Ang was not fooled after all.

He has dealt with too many dodgy British reporters in London over the past three seasons.

Compared with the British media, which has a lower bottom line, more flexible methods, and is more likely to anger the stars, these Spanish media methods are still a bit immature.

Even if Li Ang thinks with his butt, he can still know what these active Spanish reporters have in mind.

Therefore, after he expressed his defense of Ronaldo after the game, he did not accept any more interviews with any media to express his opinions on this matter.

It just so happens that the UEFA Champions League group stage of the new season is about to start, and the attention of a large number of neutral fans has also been transferred to the UEFA Champions League competition.

Cristiano Ronaldo's public opinion environment suddenly relaxed, giving him a few more days to adjust.

Real Madrid did not win La Liga or the Champions League last season, so they were placed in the second tier of the Champions League in the new season.

Also in the second tier with them are Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Arsenal, Dortmund, Sevilla and Naples.

Correspondingly, among the teams in the third and fourth tiers of this year's Champions League, there are very few teams that can be considered strong.

After counting, only Tottenham, Lyon and Monaco can pose a certain threat to the top two teams.

Leicester City was a dark horse in the Premier League last season, and even finished third in the Premier League, overtaking Arsenal.

But to be honest, no media is optimistic about Fox City's performance in the Champions League in the new season.

Arsenal are a regular in the Champions League. Every year they break through the group stage and reach the top 16 with ease.

Leicester City?

If you don’t place last in the group stage this year, it will be considered a success!

As a super giant in the second tier of the Champions League, Real Madrid did not meet its traditional rivals in advance.

After being assigned to the same group as Benfica, Eindhoven and Monaco, the Meilingers are celebrating in advance that the team will secure the right to qualify first in the group.

The Real Madrid team is also quite satisfied with this season's Champions League group stage signings.

The three opponents all seemed to be the top second-tier teams in Europe. They really couldn't see any of the three teams being able to compete head-on with Real Madrid.

Only Li Ang played a different tune at this time, signaling to his teammates that they should not relax too much and at least evaluate their strength after playing against all three teams.

Although he mentioned it vaguely, many Real Madrid players also noticed the Monaco forward combination that he mentioned many times.

"Tiger" Falcao, who once shined in La Liga, and another young French player, Mbappe?

For Falcao, the superstars in the Real Madrid team still respect and recognize him very much. After all, he is a powerful star who has played against him on the same stage.

But this Mbappe? At first glance, he is a kid from Monaco’s youth training who was only promoted to the first team this season.

Do you understand that he is now playing in Ligue 1? It is really a strange thing to be able to play in the Champions League at the age of 17.

This was the first time that Director Mu's name was accidentally remembered by a group of superstars.

Of course, as this season's Champions League progresses, his name will resound throughout Europe and the entire world.

As long as his performance can still be as brilliant and amazing as Li Ang remembered...

On the evening of September 13th, the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League officially kicked off.

A total of 14 teams took the stage in tonight’s battle.

However, the only strong dialogue that attracted the attention of fans was the one between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal. The rest of the games basically had strong teams appearing, so the ratings would be slightly higher.

After more than 90 minutes of fighting, only three games ended up with a winner, and the remaining four games were all tied.

In the three decisive games, Barcelona and Bayern both completed the massacre of their opponents.

Both teams won by four goals, and they showed their super momentum as a super team in the first battle.

The two "Saren" teams made a perfect appearance, and the pressure naturally came to the remaining Real Madrid and Chelsea.

On the evening of September 14th, Real Madrid faced the challenge of PSV Eindhoven at home.

In this game, Real Madrid welcomed Pepe's return from injury, but to be on the safe side, Ancelotti chose the starting central defender combination of "Ramos + Varane".

Real Madrid's coaching staff still chose the starting lineup of 433. Real Madrid's new midfield trio all started, and the BBC combination also made their debut.

Just based on the paper lineup, Real Madrid has already played the strongest starting card.

On the bench, Real Madrid also has Vazquez, Nacho, Isco, Jese and other star players.

In comparison, Eindhoven's first team lineup seems a bit "shabby".

Li Ang looked around on the court, and the only ones on the opposite side who could name him were Luc De Jong and Guardado.

The faces of the other players are relatively unfamiliar to him, and he also needs to truly feel the strength of these opponents in this game.

At 19:45 Madrid time, this Champions League group match started on time at the Bernabeu.

Eindhoven, who took the first kick-off, was not timid and decisively launched an offensive test against Real Madrid.

Guardado, who received the back pass from his teammate, observed for a moment, and then directly sent a long pass from the backcourt, and the football went straight to Luc De Jong.

The Dutch high center is 1.89 meters tall and weighs over 85 kilograms. He is an out-and-out heavy center.

The PSV team started with him as the bridgehead, and it was an inevitable choice to launch a quick attack.

However, Real Madrid also had a response plan. Varane immediately got behind Luc De Jong, and his body was not far behind compared to De Jong.

The two ended up bumping into each other, and neither one was able to control the football at all.

Luc de Jong's forward partner Narsin wanted to grab the second point and continue to control the ball, but Liang did not give him this opportunity and decisively headed the football to the wing.

After receiving the ball, Carvajal moved forward quickly towards the PSV half.

However, the entire Eindhoven team, which had lost possession of the ball at this time, was very active in defending and quickly shrunk their formation to block Real Madrid's wing attack route.

As soon as Li Ang saw PSV's bus posture, he trotted forward to take the ball, and then signaled his teammates to start their formation and not rush to attack.

At this moment, the coaches and starting players on both sides are observing the opponent's formation position.

Li Ang only observed for a moment and then firmed up his opinion on PSV's tactical choice today.

In the 442 formation, the two forwards happen to be a classic partner, one tall and one fast. One of the two wings is good at offense and defense, with outstanding passing ability, and the other is strong in assisting from behind...

Then the chicken-stealing battle...the anti-counterattack tactics are definitely out of the question!

The tactic of sticking to the center and attacking from the wing is always an economical and cost-effective deal.

The two sides of Eindhoven cannot have the effect of flying together, but they are both good counterattackers. If they are used well, Real Madrid's defense will still face a great threat.

It is actually not difficult to break such an anti-counterattack tactic, that is, "fight" from the center in the opposite direction!

The full-backs on both sides should not push forward too much. As long as they hold down PSV Eindhoven's two full-backs, their two forwards in the center who are not outstanding in personal ability will have little use.

Ancelotti probably saw the vitality of PSV's tactics very quickly, but before he could make any adjustments, Liang on the field took Modric and boldly pressed forward!

Marcelo and Carvajal, who received the tactical instructions, did not press forward very much, and the offensive responsibility also fell on Li Ang and Modric.

But both of them can happen to be the core of the No. 10 offense to tear apart the opponent's defense.

So when they abandoned too many reasonable options and began to use their personal abilities to repeatedly break through the interceptions of PSV central players, the balance of the situation on the field was quickly and simply broken!

Unable to stop, the two defensive players set up by PSV in the middle of the midfield simply couldn't stop the two men from taking turns to break through!

This is an encounter with extremely asymmetrical strength.

Li Ang and Modric asked for everything in PSV's half. Once they broke through the defense, the pass they sent was a bullet that hit PSV's defense!

Only 10 minutes into the game, Real Madrid immediately recorded four shots.

Among them, Bell's volley from outside the penalty area even bounced directly outside the goal post and out of the baseline, almost breaking the PSV goal!

The team's situation took a turn for the worse. Eindhoven's head coach Cocu no longer cared about counterattacks and quickly directed the two full-backs and shadow forwards to take up positions to participate in the defense!

With this adjustment, PSV is equivalent to directly changing the formation and playing 451, leaving only Luc de Jong in the frontcourt.

After filling up five players in the midfield to participate in the defense, PSV barely contained Real Madrid's attack in the middle.

But before PSV coach Cocu could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Ang took the initiative to change the offensive organization method. At this time, he called on Marcelo and Carvajal to press forward and began to advance from two directions. !

Ancelotti watched from the sidelines and was so impressed that he almost laughed out loud.

Li Ang made PSV Eindhoven's head coach disgusted.

They originally wanted to use a side counterattack tactic to contain Real Madrid's two wings flying together, but Li Ang pushed hard from the middle and beat PSV Eindhoven.

After going round and round, Real Madrid still played a strong wing attack, while PSV could only curl up in half-court.

In short, PSV wants to defend in the middle, so don't even think about counterattacking; if they want to counterattack, then don't even think about defending in the middle!

This invisible tactical confrontation showed Li Ang's dominance, but he also suppressed Eindhoven's center based on his own strength.

Cocu was very angry, but there was nothing he could do because there was indeed no top midfielder in his formation who could withstand the successive breakthroughs of Li Ang and Modric.

At this point, after the complete failure of tactical blackmail, all PSV can do is defend with all its strength.

Otherwise, can we really ignore the goal difference factor and go out to fight Real Madrid?

That is the real seeking death!

PSV's "careful" defensive choices cleared the last obstacle for Real Madrid to press forward.

In the 28th minute of the first half, after a long siege, Real Madrid finally broke through PSV and took the lead 1-0 at home!

It was striker Benzema who scored the first goal on behalf of Real Madrid in the new Champions League season.

This time he lived up to the tactical cover provided by Cristiano Ronaldo at the front point. He received Marcelo's pass and beat PSV central defender Milin with a header!

After Real Madrid scored this goal, the morale of the Eindhoven team also plummeted.

Although the defensive formation is not yet a collapse, there are more and more loopholes in PSV's defense.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Li Ang moved forward to PSV's half and received the ball with his back.

He withstood the defensive interference of PSV midfielder Schwab, turned around flexibly with the ball, and then made a move to send a direct pass behind the PSV defense to find Benzema.

But just as Benzema moved forward decisively, he took the other PSV defenders with him and retreated into position.

Li Ang knocked the football horizontally to Bell, who had been preparing for a long time on the other side!

On the right edge of the PSV penalty area, receiving the ball with almost no one defending him?

Faced with such a good opportunity to kick, Bell naturally would not miss it, and once again sent the football into the PSV goal with a smooth kick!

After taking a two-goal lead, the Real Madrid team was sure of victory. Li Ang originally wanted to stabilize the rhythm at this time, but Marcelo, who was in good form, couldn't help but frequently asked for the ball.

As a result, in the fourth minute after Bell's goal, Marcelo directly performed a one-two super performance from the wing, and then broke into the Eindhoven penalty area, passing back from the inverted triangle to assist Benzema to score twice!

Before half the game was over, Real Madrid already led Eindhoven brutally 3-0!

And today's game doesn't look like it will end with a four-goal victory.

What Real Madrid wants is shock and massacre!
