Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"Well done! Boys, your performance in the first half was impeccable! Especially you, Karim, your shot today was perfect. You completely destroyed our opponent's defense..."

When Real Madrid entered the halftime break with a three-goal lead, Ancelotti immediately transformed into the leader of the group and made all the Real Madrid players in the locker room smile with his kind words.

Benzema, who scored twice and scored two goals in the first half, was smiling from ear to ear amid the teasing and congratulations of his teammates.

He still needs this kind of shining moment to enhance his confidence in shooting.

Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo's physical condition in the last two games, Guo Feng's ups and downs in performance are more due to minor psychological obstacles.

Being too convinced by Cristiano Ronaldo has made him accustomed to being a fulcrum green leaf. He has not been able to get much firing rights in the game for a long time, and his shooting confidence will naturally continue to decline.

In addition, his physical condition has always been very good. After all, there is no "drag" from the national team competition. He can get enough rest time every international match day or summer offseason.

Therefore, as long as the minor psychological problems are adjusted, Benzema can directly return to the ranks of the top centers in football as soon as he is in form.

After all, the potential talent is there, and he has more rest time than other stars.

That is to say, I was suppressed by Cristiano Ronaldo. If I were to partner with an ordinary winger, I, the winger, would make the opponent realize what a Lyon bully is in minutes~

The reason for Benzema's dazzling performance in today's Champions League group match is also very simple, that is, Li Ang assured him many times before the game that he would take more care of him and mobilize more old brothers to pass the ball to him.

If other teammates said this to Guo Feng, Guo Feng might not take it seriously, but when Li Ang said this, Guo Feng put his heart into his stomach.

Without him, Li Ang really didn't deceive old guys like them, and the promises he gave have always been very credible.

In addition, PSV's defense strength is indeed relatively average. When the two factors are combined, a confident Benzema will naturally perform explosively.

Cristiano Ronaldo also sent congratulations to Benzema during the halftime break, and then started to compete with himself.

When Li Ang saw this, he didn't say much. He just patted Ronaldo's strong shoulders after he took off his shirt, silently showing his support to him.

As he said to the media before, he understands Ronaldo, and he knows more clearly that all Ronaldo needs now is adjustment time.

Too much verbal comfort is unnecessary, it will only bring more psychological pressure to Ronaldo.

When Ronaldo continues to make mistakes in the league or the Champions League, his status problem will be solved.

As one of the super giants now, Li Ang can understand the special feeling of consecutive goals.

For them, goals and assists are no longer just unexpected surprises brought about by outstanding performance, but a natural result of a smooth and smooth state.

With the first ice-breaking goal, more goals and assists will continue to come.

Before this state occurs, sometimes it is a good choice to be quiet by yourself.

Li Ang has always believed that Ronaldo will get back on track. It is nothing more than the difference between breaking out early and scoring goals late.

Besides, Ronaldo also used his defensive attraction to opponents many times on the offensive end today to help his teammates get better kicking opportunities.

He can help the team in his own way even if he doesn't score, which is also a good performance.

The rest of Real Madrid's main players also understand Ronaldo's character, so there is no misunderstanding about his slight silence at this moment.

Overall, the atmosphere inside the Real Madrid locker room is still very cheerful and relaxed.

Ancelotti did not deliberately suppress the players' condition. Instead, he encouraged his disciples to enjoy the second half of the game, which made Real Madrid's stars even more happy physically and mentally.

Li Ang took note of An Pang's method of encouraging players, and he subconsciously compared this method with Mourinho's method of motivating the team.

It's not that he wants to distinguish the pros and cons, Li Ang is more interested in the methods of these championship coaches to control the locker room, and wants to know more about the differences.

However, Li Ang has some different opinions on An Pang's approach of encouraging players to perform vigorously and show off themselves at the beginning of the season.

It's a good thing if the state comes out quickly, but it's not necessarily a good thing if the state comes out too fast.

In the past, when under Mourinho, whether it was Real Madrid or Chelsea in previous years, it was not uncommon for forwards to collectively break out and play big-scoring games at the beginning of the season.

But many times, Lao Mu will choose to suppress the team's offensive firepower.

Whether it is psychologically or physically, Mourinho prefers to let the midfielders and frontfield players fully enter their offensive state in the middle and late stages of the season.

This approach may not necessarily apply to all teams and players, but after getting used to such explosive points in the season, Li Ang will naturally question the arrangements of other coaches.

However, doubts do not necessarily have to be raised in person. Li Ang's emotional intelligence is always online, and he currently plans to wait and see for a while to see if he wants to talk to An Pang.

If the worst-case scenario really happened that he expected...

At least this time An Pang still has him and Cristiano Ronaldo to top it off.

Coupled with a group of Real Madrid substitutes who are very capable, they can still play even in the middle and late stages of the season.

But this is also the last emergency plan. Unless it is a last resort, Li Ang still feels that Real Madrid should not go to this step...

After thinking about the situation in the middle and late stages of the season, Li Ang ended his rest state, shook his head, and devoted his energy to the real game that was about to start.

Ancelotti did not choose to make substitutions in the second half of the game, and Eindhoven did not replace the main players in advance and surrender, but chose to make a last ditch effort!

After their 442 formation was deployed, it directly turned into an extremely risky 424.

The forward movement of the two full-back positions provides guarantee for PSV's continued offensive output.

But under their helpless formation change, what Li Ang saw was more counterattack opportunities available!

Perhaps some Real Madrid players on the field wanted to engage in a bayonet attack with PSV, but under Li Ang's many firm gestures, they suppressed the impulse in their hearts and obediently launched a defensive counterattack.

Li Ang is not polite at all when he directs his old brothers, but as long as there is an available counterattack opportunity, he will immediately send a long pass to let the brothers rush forward.

Bell and Ronaldo naturally became the biggest tactical beneficiaries in this counterattack stage.

Benzema, who had scored twice before, had to retreat first to serve as a counterattack fulcrum for the two of them.

And the two of them did not disappoint the Meilingers with their attacking performance on the wing.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who seems a bit heavy in physical condition, now has enough space on the wing and can pass the ball repeatedly to create danger when he rushes forward!

Not to mention Bell, the King of Wales, who does not suffer from too many injuries in the new season and is in good condition relatively quickly, is the number one counterattack god in active football!

Bell, who is still at the peak of his speed, is a nightmare for any defense when he rushes forward.

Li Ang and Modric's successive precise long passes directly omitted the complicated midfield organization and established a stable channel for transporting artillery shells using the simplest and most direct connection method.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale flew together on both wings, and successfully connected for the first time in the 56th minute of the second half, scoring Real Madrid's fourth goal of the game!

Unlike in the past when Baldo provided an assist to Cristiano Ronaldo, this time it was Cristiano Ronaldo who sent a beautiful cross to help Bale score the goal.

At the Bernabeu, which was filled with cheers again, Liang grinned and hugged Modric and Casemiro in midfield to celebrate.

The live broadcast camera also focused on the three of them in a timely manner, as if to explain to more neutral fans:

This is the reason why Real Madrid's firepower has soared in the new season!

Li Ang, who returned at the peak of his career, further liberated the abilities of Modric and Casemiro.

Real Madrid's midfield defense, which was not completely stable in the previous three seasons, has also been greatly strengthened in the new season.

There have been qualitative changes on both ends of the offense and defense. Real Madrid's new midfield trio can already be said to be the top midfield combination in Europe!

It may be too early to compete for first place. After all, there is no baptism of tough battles, and Chelsea's powerful midfielder dominates the fans' reputation rankings.

But when it comes to Real Madrid's new midfield combination ranking behind Chelsea and competing with Manchester City for the second or third place in European football, the vast majority of neutral fans still have no objections.

At least in terms of creating offensive opportunities and delivering assists, Real Madrid's new midfield trio has proven its strong ability!

After tasting the sweetness of counterattack at this moment, no Real Madrid player on the field wanted to object to the counterattack tactics led by Li Ang.

PSV were forced into a corner and now just wanted to score a face-saving goal.

As a result, the more aggressive they press forward, the more determined Real Madrid will be in counterattacking.

In the 67th and 74th minutes of the second half, Real Madrid scored the fifth and sixth goals of the game through quick counterattacks and penalty kicks!

Benzema got his wish and completed his first hat trick of the new season.

Cristiano Ronaldo also got the opportunity to take a penalty kick after Modric created a point. He succeeded in one stroke and successfully broke his goal drought in the new season.

The morale of the entire Eindhoven team collapsed. At this point, they really couldn't stand it anymore. They didn't want to score any more goals, so they quickly shrunk their formation and continued to defend, for fear of being scored by Real Madrid's seventh goal.

In the end, the score of this Champions League group stage was fixed at 6-0. Real Madrid directly slaughtered last season's Eredivisie champions in the first Champions League game of the new season!

The absolute advantage of 6 goal differences has also allowed Real Madrid to sit first in Group F of the Champions League.

In another Champions League Group F match that ended at the same time, Monaco only defeated Benfica 1-0, with Falcao scoring the winning goal in stoppage time.

Monaco's victory was not smooth, and the game was not very good-looking, so that other neutral fans had the illusion that Group F, except Real Madrid, was full of rookies.

There are actually not a few players in the Real Madrid team who hold this view. After the first round victory over Eindhoven, the morale of the Real Madrid team was boosted to a peak.

Li Ang is very happy to see this kind of confident team atmosphere. Even if some teammates are a little arrogant, he doesn't think it's a big problem.

After all, they represent Real Madrid. As the first team players of Real Madrid are not confident and proud enough, then why bother to come to the muddy waters of the largest football club?

As long as you are not so proud that you are arrogant and do not underestimate your opponent's strength for no reason, then there will be no problem in maintaining your self-confidence.

On the fourth day after the Champions League group match with PSV Eindhoven, Real Madrid traveled to Barcelona in the La Liga to challenge the "good brother" of the league, Espanyol.

Espanyol has been doing quite well in the La Liga in recent seasons. Although it is difficult to strive for a higher ranking, there is no worry about relegation.

After Pochettino switched to the Premier League, Espanyol still firmly stabilized in the middle of La Liga, and returned to the top ten of La Liga last season.

However, for other La Liga teams, Espanyol may be a tough nut to crack.

But for Real Madrid, Espanyol has always been a friendly brother team.

Li Ang has not played against Espanyol for a long time, but after returning to the RCDE stadium, the familiar rhythm of the game came to his mind.

The media in Catalonia, which is more inclined to Barcelona, ​​kept mocking Espanyol for giving Real Madrid points before the game.

When the game was over, Real Madrid won the game 3-0 and continued to suppress Barcelona and lead the La Liga standings.

These media who had been criticizing before the game broke down collectively and called the Spaniards traitors of Barcelona.

A small number of media and newspapers that were friendly with the Spaniards were naturally unwilling to be outdone, and directly counterattacked with sarcasm, asking these pro-Barcelona media who criticized the Spaniards to continue to fight Real Madrid in the next round of the league!

As soon as this was said, many sports newspapers in the Catalan region suddenly became silent.

Challenging Real Madrid?

Before this season, they did dare to do so.

But now that Li Ang, the current Barcelona's No. 1 nemesis in football, has returned to Real Madrid, is it really a wise choice to provoke before the game...

The pro-Barcelona media reporters couldn't help but think of the painful lesson of being slapped in the face by Li Ang many years ago.

So they chose a flexible response plan this time:

First remain relatively silent, and wait until the results of the game come out before choosing whether to speak up or continue to be a turtle.

But they don't want to make trouble, but it doesn't mean that other Spanish media who want to get traffic don't want to make things bigger.

So in the fifth round of the new La Liga season, before the Spanish national derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Li Ang, who was interviewed by other media, broke out another "shocking" statement after returning to La Liga!

"I don't care about the win-loss relationship between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the past few seasons, and don't talk to me about record suppression!

The fact I know is also the only fact you need to know, that is, I have never lost the national derby, and this match is the same. Real Madrid and I will be the final winners!"
