Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"Cristiano Ronaldo's shot choice this time is very smart! Beautiful movement and goal! Of course, we must also praise Li Ang's previous perfect operation. He completely cleared Atletico Madrid's last line of defense. The two people's passing and running cooperation It’s such a tacit understanding!”

"Atletico Madrid played very hard today. Ancelotti chose to put Real Madrid in a more passive defensive posture, which made it difficult for Atletico Madrid to counterattack today. After the offensive and defensive moves, Atletico Madrid The shortcomings in offensive tactics are exposed!

Atletico Madrid, which has a passive rhythm and has to compete with Real Madrid in areas that it is not good at, will find it difficult to play the rhythm of the game that they are good at. Simeone needs to adjust the team's tactical thinking as soon as possible. They are too passive now! "

After the commentator of Spain's Movistar Sports Channel ended his passionate praise of Ronaldo, he quickly analyzed Atletico Madrid's current passive rhythm of the game from a tactical level.

In fact, many old fans who are used to watching La Liga can now see the root of Atletico Madrid's problem.

That is, after being preempted by Real Madrid to occupy the "role" of passive defense in the game, Atletico Madrid, which has always preferred to defend and steal the chicken, became incapable of playing football.

This can be regarded as the fundamental reason why Atletico Madrid, which had just emerged that year, was beaten severely every time it met Real Madrid.

As long as Real Madrid, who are also good at counter-attacking, can lose face and deal with Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid's chances of winning are really slim.

An Pang actually understands this truth. When he took over from Mourinho, he spent a lot of time studying Mourinho's three-year transformation process of Real Madrid.

But before this season, he paid too much attention to the feelings of Real Madrid's top management and the opinions of Real Madrid fans towards his tactics.

So many times, he passively chooses to play "beautiful football".

Until he realized the truth that Mourinho realized when he was mentally exhausted in his first season at Real Madrid.

Blindly showing favor to the fans and the club's top management may make his coaching position temporarily stable.

But when he, a good old man, still fails to bring a heavyweight championship to Real Madrid, Real Madrid's decision to abandon him will only quickly gain the support of all Real Madrid fans!

So he was forced to a dead end, and An Pang, who basically only had this last season left to prove himself, couldn't control that much.

Of course, a good-looking match scene is also what he pursues.

But winning, especially winning in a strong dialogue, is what he values ​​most now, and it is the only way to get him back on the road to success.

Fortunately, he didn't make a mistake this time!

His great success in suppressing Barcelona earned him praise from all Western media and Real Madrid executives.

At this moment, the result of defeating Atletico Madrid in the first half has strengthened his determination to flexibly arrange his tactical plan!

In the three years since he came to Real Madrid, he and this Real Madrid have failed to win any other championship trophies except for the Copa del Rey.

The semi-finals of the Champions League and second place in the league may also be an honor for other powerful teams.

But for Real Madrid, such results are not ranked at all in the club's history.

Perhaps the past three seasons have been wasted for Ancelotti and this group of Real Madrid players who are still at the peak of their careers.

But this season, with Li Ang returning, they have already seen the possibility of winning everything again!

Ancelotti also has his own ambitions. After leaving AC Milan, he has not won the Champions League trophy, which symbolizes the pinnacle of European club honors, for a long, long time.

In the past, there were always problems like this in other clubs, and it was indeed very difficult to win the championship.

But this time, at least in this season, he does see great hope. He wants to have his name spread across Europe once again. He wants to win everything!

…

After finishing the same passionate celebration as Zidane, Ancelotti wasted no time and sat on the coaching bench in advance to start arranging the tactical arrangements for the second half.

At this moment, Ancelotti directly handed over the task of beating the Real Madrid players on the court to Zidane.

On weekdays, he always appears in front of the media and Real Madrid stars as a good old guy.

He is easy to talk to and doesn't care much about the players' private lives. So instead of saying that all the players in the Real Madrid first team obey him and listen to his words, it's better to say that everyone likes his character and is willing to sell him face. .

As his deputy, Zidane is exactly the opposite of him in this regard.

Zidane is very vocal in the Real Madrid dressing room.

Perhaps Zidane behaves very gently when facing the public, but in the locker room, as long as he is serious, no one will dare to stab him!

Therefore, when it is generally necessary to arrange for players to do more defensive drills, Ancelotti will give Zidane the task of supervising the quality of training.

Including now allowing Real Madrid players on the field to devote more energy to strengthening the defense.

With Zidane standing on the sideline as the "supervisor", Ancelotti believes that all Real Madrid stars on the field will complete their defensive tasks seriously.

This can be regarded as a reflection of An Pang’s wisdom in employing people~

Zizou certainly understands the role of coach he plays now, and he has no dissatisfaction.

After all, such on-the-spot experience is rare and will help him accumulate more command experience before becoming a real head coach.

As the former "world's number one midfielder", there is no doubt that Qi Zu's keenness in observing the game situation.

Li Ang originally wanted to go deep on the court and act as a defensive midfielder with Casemiro to protect the penalty area.

As a result, Qi Zu directly signaled him to retreat and move his position back to the midline area.

And through Qi Zu's simple tactical gestures, Li Ang also understood that his super-famous assistant coach wanted him to continue to suppress Koke's performance!

"Force them to continue to play wide, don't let Koke go forward, let Griezmann stay wide!"

A few simple shouting reminders made the Real Madrid players in the midfield and backfield understand the team's tactical tasks at this stage.

Li Ang had no objections. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the correctness of Qi Zu's fine-tuning of tactics.

Excessively shrinking the defense also gives Atletico Madrid a chance to play as its midfield core.

You know, before being completely transformed into a super engineer by Simeone, Koke was known as the first successor after Habai in the Spanish national team!

His talent and talent are recognized by all Spanish fans.

If he really lets him play freely and establish a stable connection with Griezmann, then no defensive line in current football can guarantee that he will not miss.

Therefore, it is necessary to expand the defensive zone, and it is even more necessary to further target the only core of Atletico Madrid's midfield!

There was no problem with Li Ang's tactical execution, and he quickly caught up with Cork, forcing the opponent to transfer the offensive organization power to the wing again.

Carrasco's strong breakthrough ability is of little use in front of Real Madrid's bus.

Saul and Griezmann wanted to cooperate patiently with their teammates, but in the face of the Real Madrid defense's determined pressure and fouling, they could only pull to the wing and act as a crosser.

The last bit of time in the first half of the game was consumed by Atletico Madrid's continuous offensive attempts with long passes.

When Pepe came off the field, his entire forehead was red, and he seemed to be complaining to his teammates that Atletico Madrid had too many crosses!

This scene made many fans in front of the live broadcast camera happy.

Of course, Atletico Madrid supporters will definitely not be able to laugh at this moment.

They were only worried that the team still couldn't find a good way to break the game in the second half.

Even if they know that Real Madrid has to fight against counterattacks, how can Atletico Madrid respond?

Almost all the available offensive moves were used up in the first half. With only Torres left as the center forward, Atletico Madrid could not further strengthen the threat of the top spot through substitutions!

Atletico Madrid fans who know that their team's bench is not thick enough this season will be even more uncomfortable.

Soon, the second half of the game officially started.

Just as many Atletico fans were worried, Simeone did not take any substitution measures, and the Atletico players on the field could only think of setting-piece tactics.

Griezmann suffered a lot today.

In the first half of the game, Li Ang targeted him and his performance was mediocre. In the second half, Li Ang ignored him, but his breakthroughs with the ball were always intercepted by other Real Madrid players!

To put it bluntly, this is a tactical foul.

Real Madrid is not only not afraid of Atletico Madrid's set-piece tactics, but also actively gives Atletico Madrid frontcourt set-piece opportunities!

More importantly, Atletico Madrid really can't take advantage of Real Madrid in the frontcourt set-piece!

In just over ten minutes of the second half, Atletico Madrid got two frontcourt set-piece opportunities and two corner kicks in the Real Madrid half.

As a result, the football played by Atletico Madrid was stolen by Real Madrid's defenders three times!

There was only one corner kick opportunity for Atletico Madrid and Godin grabbed a point. However, under the tough confrontation with Ramos, Godin could only barely complete the header. In the end, the ball missed the goal frame.

This embarrassing situation made the Atletico Madrid fans at the scene really anxious.

Simeone couldn't sit still anymore, so he called up the two forwards Correa and Gameiro on the bench and asked them to warm up quickly.

Five minutes later, Simeone finally made the first substitution adjustment of today's game.

There is still no problem with his courage. As soon as he changed, he directly replaced two forwards, directly replacing Carrasco and Saul, who did not perform well today.

Subsequently, Atletico Madrid also completed the change of formation and directly changed to a more radical 424!

Griezmann and Torres stood parallel to each other to form a double forward, with Correa and Gameiro on the side, leaving only Koke and Gabi in the middle of the midfield!

After such a change of formation, Atletico Madrid's offensive power in the frontcourt has been strengthened.

But Simeone's risky adjustments also further weakened his midfield and backfield defense.

Real Madrid is not in a hurry to fight back at the moment.

Real Madrid's first team, which has conducted devilish training before the new season and usually pays more attention to physical reserves, has gradually highlighted its physical advantages in the league and Champions League.

Atletico Madrid attacked very fiercely, but Real Madrid's control and defense seemed very calm.

Li Ang still continued to press Koke and Gabi's ball-taking space in the midfield area. Atletico Madrid's offensive organization always lacked the participation of the core midfielder, which seemed very incoherent.

This kind of strong attack initiated from the wing and showing a broken rhythm is not very threatening, but it consumes a lot of physical energy of Atletico Madrid's frontcourt players.

As a result, it was delayed until about the 75th minute of the second half, and most of the players on the Atletico Madrid field slowed down significantly.

Real Madrid finally waited for the perfect time to harvest the game!

Atletico slowed down, but they all speeded up!

In just five minutes, Real Madrid launched three quick counterattacks!

In the 81st minute of the second half, Isco, who came on as a substitute, passed Gabi during the counterattack, and then scored and assisted Li Ang to easily enter the Atletico penalty area and win another victory!

Courtois thought that Li Ang would play three ways this time, so he was prepared to go to the ground in advance.

But he didn't expect Li Ang to shoot violently in the penalty area!

Another contrast in style, Courtois almost doubted his life when he saw Li Ang's retreating figure in celebration.

And this goal directly eliminated all suspense in this game!

Defeat Atletico Madrid 3-0 at Atletico Madrid's home court!

Real Madrid's control of the game and targeted tactics of its opponents made supporters of other European giants feel uneasy.

The topic of Real Madrid's strong defeat of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, two league competitors, has directly continued into the new round of international matches.

As the world preliminaries progress, the news that Bell and Carvajal were injured in the national team made fans of other powerful teams heave a sigh of relief.

"Two main generals are injured, and Real Madrid's first team has to encounter the FIFA virus. They can't be so strong in the future, right?"

Many neutral fans hold this idea, and many of them have dark psychology and even hope to see Real Madrid suffer another performance collapse in the tight schedule.

But on November 19, in the twelfth round of La Liga after the international break, the players of Real Madrid's "second team" severely slapped the faces of these fans who were ready to have fun!

James and Li Ang scored, Asensio scored twice, and Isco scored twice with assists!

Real Madrid defeated Leganes 4-0 at home and repaid the Mellingers for their trust and support with a home carnival!

And this is just the beginning of another winning streak for Real Madrid.

In the ensuing fifth round of the Champions League group stage, the "Real Madrid Second Team" led by Li Ang faced the challenge of Monaco at home.

Real Madrid's overall suppression of Monaco in this round was not very successful, but fortunately, the old brothers Leon and Nacho still restricted Mbappe's performance.

Monaco really showed off their rhythm and tactical style.

However, Real Madrid relied on their stronger offensive firepower to score the winning goal in the end, and won their fifth win in the Champions League group stage of the new season 3-2 at home!

Li Ang only contributed one counterattack assist in this game, but his suppressive performance on the defensive end allowed him to once again win the honor of the best player of the game.

However, after the game, Li Ang did not express his happiness about winning. Instead, he praised Mbappe's development prospects in front of reporters.

He gave encouragement to the young forward who had not performed well against Real Madrid, or against him.

For other young Monaco players, especially Bernardo Silva, who made great passes and shots today, Li Ang was not stingy with his words of praise.

“They definitely both have a bright future and, well, maybe this season they will surprise the world!

I am really optimistic that they can enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season. This is not a compliment. As you can see, they almost pushed us to the edge in this game.

They may indeed lack a little experience, but don’t forget that young teams are often the easiest to create miracles..."

Li Ang's high praise and praise quickly gained the favor of many Monaco players.

The media may not pay much attention to what Li Ang said, thinking that he still overestimated the talents of these young players.

But we only need to wait until next March, when Monaco really breaks into the Champions League quarterfinals again, the reporters who interviewed Li Ang today will definitely regret it.

I regret not studying with Li Ang and looking forward to the future of this Monaco team!

…

Just after the team won two consecutive victories, the main players of Real Madrid's first team were relieved of their fatigue and gradually regained their form on the training ground.

Ancelotti once again tasted the sweetness of rotation, which also made him more determined to adopt scientific rotation in the subsequent tight schedule.

On November 26, the main players of Real Madrid's first team staged the return of the king in the thirteenth round of La Liga.

Facing Sporting Gijon, who came to the Bernabeu to challenge, the well-rested Real Madrid stars directly gave their opponents a brutal slaughter with a seven-goal margin!

The 8-1 score made other mid-to-lower teams in La Liga shudder!

And the goal that was lost was the only warmth Real Madrid had against Sporting Gijon, a team that was relegating.

On December 3, Real Madrid, which was enjoying a huge victory, faced the "Yellow Submarine" Villarreal at home.

As the "Arsenal of La Liga" last season, Villarreal is undoubtedly a strong team that can pose a threat to Real Madrid.

Currently, they happen to be ranked 4th in La Liga with a record of 7 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, and they are in good shape.

Perhaps it was this result that gave the Villarreal team confidence, causing them to fight at the Bernabeu and still want to fight Real Madrid with a bayonet.

But after just surviving the first half hour of the game, Villarreal could no longer keep up with Real Madrid's fierce attacking rhythm!

At halftime, Villarreal trailed Real Madrid 1-2, and the point difference was not huge.

But at the end of the game, Villarreal could only swallow the bitter fruit of a 1-4 defeat!

Cristiano Ronaldo finally regained his normal form in front of the goal in this game. He scored twice with his head and kick, and his performance was quite impressive.

Benzema and Isco, who started in place of Bell, each scored one goal, while Li Ang assisted and scored twice.

Several offensive players in Real Madrid's frontcourt have recorded data, and everyone is happy.

After enduring this tight schedule, Real Madrid's main players have had plenty of rest time.

Because he had already qualified for first place in the group with 5 consecutive wins, in the final round of the Champions League group stage, Ancelotti chose to lead the second team players to an away challenge against PSV Eindhoven, which was at the bottom of the group.

This game didn't mean much to Real Madrid, but thanks to James's explosion, Real Madrid finally defeated Eindhoven 2-1 away from home.

Winning 6 consecutive victories in the Champions League group is an ideal "start" for the Real Madrid team and Real Madrid fans.

After defeating Deportivo La Coruna 3-0 and winning 15 consecutive league victories in the new season, Real Madrid finally faced a severe challenge in the first round of the Champions League knockout rounds.

Looking at the familiar team logo, Li Ang and Ronaldo couldn't help laughing.

After the draw ceremony, many Real Madrid fans also ran to the officials of their opponents in the first knockout round to say hello in a friendly manner. After all, they are old rivals~

Dortmund.

Real Madrid has played against Dortmund many times in recent years. Back then, Real Madrid defeated Dortmund from the group stage to the semi-finals. Of course, Dortmund and Real Madrid also returned after being drawn into the same group.

The two teams have won and lost each other in the Champions League. Real Madrid is only slightly better. The fans of both sides have gone from tit-for-tat to emotional, and the communication is very friendly.

But this time, Dortmund fans responded with a wry smile.

"Don't call us bumblebees, just call us little bees. We are in dire straits now. Also, this round of drawing is really unlucky..."
