Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

When sitting on the bus and looking at the San Siro Stadium, Li Ang's mind did not actually flash through the football superstars who had galloped and shined at this stadium.

His reaction was very simple, just like when he saw the Bernabeu Stadium for the first time, and when he visited the San Siro Stadium for the first time after coming to Milan, he sighed in his heart.

“It is indeed a ‘big’ club!”

Both the Bernabeu and San Siro are Europe's premier large-scale football stadiums, and the capacity of the two stadiums is almost the same, both exceeding 80,000.

Any player will inevitably feel excited at the thought of competing on the field in front of nearly 80,000 fans.

Li Ang is naturally no exception.

If there is any experience in Real Madrid's first team that he will remember most, he will definitely choose the days when he played at home.

"They're going to be cheering for you today."

Just as Li Ang was looking out the car window at the countless Milan fans wearing red and black jerseys, a voice sounded behind him.

Li Ang turned around and saw that it was acting captain Gattuso who was comforting him. Pirlo, who was sitting next to Gattuso, also winked at him.

"As long as you perform normally, that's fine, right?"

Li Ang looked out the window at the red and black fans who were crowded together, holding their scarves high towards the Milan bus and singing the team anthem over and over again, and grinned.

"no problem!"

"Pay attention to the two full-backs of Udinese. You must pay attention to this! Their midfielder actually does not have much creativity. We suppressed their two wing attacks and lost Isla and Paz. With Quale sending shells forward, Di Natale can only rely more on Sanchez to help him attract defensive firepower, so as to get the chance to catch the ball and the starting space. Leon, keep an eye on Sanchez and cut him off from Di Natale. The connection, you know what I mean?”

Allegri made the final tactical emphasis in the locker room before the game, and Leon, who was named, nodded and took over his tactical tasks without hesitation.

At present, he is the only one doing this job. Gattuso and Pirlo, who can't keep up with Sanchez, can at most help him fill in the gaps and help defend.

Whether he can withstand Udinese's offensive impact basically depends on how effective his side is at freezing Sanchez and Pasquale.

"I will help you more, don't worry."

Antonini smiled and patted Leon's thigh to cheer him up.

Bonera, who was sitting on the other side of Li Ang, also came over, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you let them over occasionally. Thiago and I will take care of them!"

As soon as Shen Feng spoke, Li Ang's heart immediately tightened, and Gattuso even changed his expression and stepped forward to quickly change the topic.

joke!

It is better for the forwards not to have cameras on the court. Once the forwards have "performed", it will be difficult for Milan to win this game.

After the episode, Milan's starting players gathered around Gattuso for the last pre-war mobilization, and then they yelled a few words one after another and walked out of the locker room.

Amid the cheers and shouts of more than 70,000 Milan fans, Li Ang took a deep breath and then plunged into the stadium shrouded in the winter afternoon sunshine.

"Le——on——!!!"

"Leon——!!!"

Under the guidance of the DJ, the Milan fans cheered in unison, which surprised Li Ang himself.

After calming down the excitement in his chest, Li Ang also smiled, raised his hands and clapped to express his gratitude to the home fans.

Li Ang's smiling face immediately appeared in the big shot of the live broadcast, and his handsome face under the winter sun made him look even more sunny and handsome.

The stadium was suddenly in an uproar again.

After all, Kaka has only left San Siro for a year and a half, and now a sunny and handsome boy with medium-long hair has arrived. How can we not make these Milan fans think of Kaka, a young boy who just came to Milan?

What makes Milan fans palpitate more than the similarity in appearance is the similarity in demeanor.

Such sunshine, confidence and cheerfulness have not been seen in San Siro for a long time.

With the filters on, Milan fans really can't help but have a favorable impression of Li Ang.

At first, some extreme fans turned to support Li Ang because of the current situation that Li Ang could coexist with Pirlo, let alone other ordinary Milan fans.

After a simple opening ceremony, the players on both sides took their positions one after another, and the captains of the two teams routinely chose sides.

Commentators from various countries seized the opportunity before the start of the game to quickly introduce the starting lineups of the two teams today.

Udinese visited San Siro today and directly set up a 3-5-2 formation.

While focusing on defense in the midfield and backcourt, their two forwards Sanchez and Di Natale are also extremely threatening and are very suitable for anti-counterattack tactics.

Milan, on the other hand, continued to adopt a 4-4-2 midfield diamond formation.

In this round of the league, Milan has made adjustments to its starting personnel in the front, middle and backcourt.

Gianluca Zambrotta took a rest in the defense, and Abate became the starting right back. In the midfield, Boateng replaced Seedorf, who had some calf discomfort, as the starting midfielder.

On the front line, there is the normal rotation of Robinho and Pato.

Generally, when Milan plays a double forward, only Ibrahimovic is available and must be used. Pato and Robinho take turns starting based on their respective game conditions and physical fitness.

However, if the three forwards are played in the future, the two of them can start together. After all, Ronaldinho, who could compete with them before, has now returned to Brazil.

In the remaining positions, Milan's starting personnel are exactly the same as in the previous round.

Nesta's injury has not healed, Thiago Silva and Bonera continue to start as a double central defender.

Originally, this position may have been what Milan fans were most worried about.

But with Li Ang running more than 12 kilometers in a single game in the last round and contributing key defensive data many times, the Roseneris are temporarily reassured.

As long as the "super forward" does not frequently face the opponent's offensive impact, relying on Thiago Silva's super personal ability, Milan's current defense can still be stable.

At 15:00 in the afternoon, the game officially started. Udinese, who had won the right to kick off, quickly spread out their formation in the midfield. At the beginning, right wing back Isla advanced with the ball as an offensive test.

In addition to Isla, there are Asamoah and Sanchez on this side, so it is also the wing where Udinese's attack is currently focused.

Isla dribbled the ball across half court, looked at Antonini who was pressing up, and passed the ball directly to Asamoah who raised his hand on the inside.

Upon seeing this, Antonini quickly turned around and went to press Asamoah with Boateng.

But before the two of them could surround each other, Asamoah simply lobbed the ball directly to Sanchez, who started to advance from the left side of Milan!

"Chilean Ronaldo" is only 22 years old now. He has good skills, speed and confidence.

Even though Milan's left half still had Li Ang who was trailing behind and Pirlo who was leaning over and ready to defend at any time, he was not afraid at all.

After starting the ball, Sanchez predicted where the football would land and raced with all his strength.

But it was difficult to see diagonally behind him, and Li Ang gradually ran towards the landing point of the football at a speed that could barely keep up with him.

"mine!"

At the moment when he unloaded the ball almost perfectly, Sanchez was overjoyed. Looking at Li Ang who was rushing towards him, he curled his lips, stopped the buckle, and was about to change direction and throw Li Ang away.

But he didn't expect that when Li Ang was about to pounce on the ball, he stopped the momentum of continuing to pounce forward. At the same time, he turned around and decisively got stuck in his path!

Just right, not bad at all!

“Nice defensive anticipation!!!”

The commentator of Sky Sports was excited.

And Li Ang also stepped decisively sideways after blocking Sanchez's change of direction, forcefully squeezing Sanchez aside who was much shorter than him!

The football still rolled towards Milan's 30-meter area. Asamoah, who reacted quickly, rushed forward, trying to get the ball away before Pirlo intercepted it.

But Li Ang did not stop his defensive pace after squeezing Sanchez away.

Asamoah wants to take the ball away?

I haven’t asked his opinion yet!

He suddenly stepped forward with force, and when he was too slow to catch up with Asamoah, Li Ang directly chose to shovel in advance from the flank!

The football was knocked off its trajectory by Li Ang first, and Asamoah was also brought down by Li Ang's calf.

The referee on duty, who was closer and could see more clearly, ignored Asamoah, who suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, and signaled for the game to continue!

And Li Ang, who had just completed a successful tackle, with some grass clippings on his face, immediately got up from the ground using his hands and feet, and began to resolutely push forward with Pirlo's forward pass!

The "beautiful" filter of Milan fans towards Li Ang was ruthlessly shattered once again.

But they were not annoyed at all. Instead, they roared passionately, roaring and applauding Li Ang for his successful consecutive defense!

They cheered for Milan to welcome another "teenager Kaka".

Well, this time it’s the butcher version!

Sorry, I forgot to set the timer again.
