Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Dortmund finally collapsed under the huge pressure of conceding goals.

After Li Ang scored Real Madrid's third goal, the Dortmund team's will to resist became weak.

This has nothing to do with whether Royce still wants to fight or not.

Even if he grits his teeth and persists and encourages his teammates to resist, his efforts alone will ultimately be in vain.

Isco, who came on as a substitute at the last minute, successfully created a penalty kick in the Dortmund penalty area that completely killed the game and also killed the suspense of the second round!

Cristiano Ronaldo stood on the penalty spot and scored in one fell swoop. The joyful celebrations of the Real Madrid players were in sharp contrast to the disappointed look of the Hornets fans in the background.

After the game, Li Ang also directly approached Royce, who was still holding his knees and unwilling to breathe.

The two of them are also serious acquaintances in the arena.

The two men, who were both just starting out in football back then, had already met and competed against each other in the Champions League.

At that time, it was really difficult to say who had better future development prospects between Leon and Royce.

Li Ang is a potential defensive midfielder that Mourinho is optimistic about and has started in the top football club at a young age.

Reus is already killing everyone in the Bundesliga and is the new top winger in football with 20+10 super figures in a single season at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Now four and a half years have passed, and the two have met again, but their respective football statuses and circumstances are completely different.

Li Ang has been crowned Mr. Ballon d'Or twice and has already defeated Melo head-on in a narrow encounter in the Champions League. He only needs more championship titles and wins to challenge the throne of the number one player in football.

In addition to the honors of the national team, Li Ang has achieved Grand Slam honors at the club level by representing two different teams in the four major leagues.

On the other hand, Royce still chose to stick to Dortmund after Klopp left.

But the honors worth mentioning in his hands are only German Footballer and Bundesliga MVP, which he earned with his outstanding personal performance.

What about club level?

Two German Super Cup titles and then gone.

This is also an important reason why whenever a well-known sports media ranks wingers for the season, it is difficult for Royce to get into the top five.

The heavyweight honors he can offer are not enough, and they are far from enough!

In terms of ability alone, Reus once defeated Franck Ribery and Robben in the Bundesliga with his easily injured physique. His luxurious statistics of 20+10 in a single season also made him the focus of the European giants.

In the two seasons after moving to Dortmund, he scored 45 goals and 29 assists.

Even after experiencing serious injuries in the 2014-15 season, he still staged a comeback last season, scoring 20 goals and scoring 30 goals in a single season!

With such performance, he was repeatedly ranked among the top five wingers of the season in media rankings!

Is Royce wronged?

Very unfair!

As long as he wanted, he could have moved to Bayern or Real Madrid two seasons ago, partnered with more stars, and won more heavyweight championship trophies.

But he rejected the best of everything, just to try his best to hold on to Dortmund, which seemed to be about to sink!

He and Gerrard have the same precious qualities. Leon understands Royce's approach and respects him even more.

The two hugged again on the field and exchanged jerseys.

Li Ang didn't say any words of encouragement to Royce.

Because the Rockets don't need encouragement for their persistence in Dortmund, he is just doing what he thinks is the most correct and worthwhile thing.

In the end, Li Ang just patted Royce on the shoulder, and then watched the other side encourage his teammates to cheer up and walk away.

He vaguely saw many people in this back figure, and maybe in the future, he would also be included.

But who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Li Ang smiled and no longer thought about the future that seemed far away but seemed very close at hand.

The shouts to his friends rang out again, and Li Ang turned his head to look, laughing and joining the team's post-match celebration.

He must firmly grasp the present!

※※※

After the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals with Dortmund ended, Real Madrid faced the challenge of a tight schedule in the second half of La Liga.

The remaining four major leagues have also entered the sprint stage at this time point, and the division of teams at the head, middle and tail of the league has become increasingly obvious.

The competition between the top teams in other mainstream leagues may still be quite fierce, but the gap is not very big.

But in today's La Liga, the points ranking seems a bit strange.

The three "Western Super League" teams of Real Madrid and Spain naturally have a huge gap between them and the remaining La Liga teams.

But within the "Western Super League", Real Madrid has a huge gap with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid currently dominates the La Liga standings with 64 points and an unbeaten record of 21 wins and 1 draw.

Barcelona ranks second with 52 points with a record of 16 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses.

Atletico Madrid is ranked third with 51 points with a record of 16 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses.

The point difference between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid is negligible, but now the gap between them and Real Madrid has been opened to a full four wins!

This advantageous situation of nearly crushing their opponents in the standings gives the Meilingers a great psychological advantage.

The sports media throughout Spain are also exclaiming that Real Madrid has returned to the "super era"!

Six or seven years ago, Real Madrid and Barcelona started a terrifying "arms race."

A large number of world-class superstars have either been cultivated or introduced from the transfer market by the two teams at a large cost.

At that time, if the two teams wanted to win the La Liga championship, their points would have to be raised to more than 95 points to be considered stable!

At that time, the two teams even lost only one or two terrible games in the entire league.

Not to mention losing, even if you draw one more game, you will basically be overturned by your opponent!

This tmd pressure is so intense that if you put it in other leagues, fans of so-called championship teams would simply not dare to even think about it!

Later, Real Madrid broke 100 points to win the championship, which directly opened the ceiling of La Liga championship...

In this era of La Liga duo, the two teams can only be described by the term "super strong team".

As for Atletico Madrid, although many fans now label them as the "La Liga", they have never become a "super team" in the hearts of La Liga fans.

In the 13-14 season when they won the championship, they only had 90 points.

At that time, the Spanish sports media, in addition to praising Atletico Madrid's comeback and winning the championship, lamented the premature dissolution of Mourinho's Real Madrid.

Otherwise, the achievement of three consecutive games in La Liga was just a task that was easily completed for the then-Muslim Real Madrid.

Since then, neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona have been able to return to the 100-percent peak they had reached in previous years.

After Bayern Munich also disbanded early, only Chelsea, the "super strong team" of Mourinho's second period, was left in European football.

The master-disciple pair of Li Ang and Mourinho also successfully established another blue dynasty.

Until now, Mourinho's new Chelsea are still standing at the top of European football, looking down on all challengers.

And now it seems that only Real Madrid, which has the fastest climb and is most likely to become a super team again, can have the strongest battle with Chelsea this season!

Of course, before reaching the final battle with Chelsea in the Champions League, Real Madrid still needs to complete the task of reviving in the league.

Although Real Madrid now has a huge advantage in the league, it is also 12 points ahead of second-placed Barcelona.

But the senior players in the Real Madrid team are still not satisfied. They also want to widen the lead difference to a more "safe" point.

Therefore, in the 23rd round of La Liga, the main players of Real Madrid's first team were invited to play, even though they only had three days of rest after playing in the Champions League.

Ancelotti originally wanted to continue to rotate the main players to maintain the physical condition of the team's main players.

But seeing that all the stars were high in fighting spirit and eager to compete, he agreed to the players' request after weighing it for a while.

On the afternoon of February 18, Real Madrid, which was at home, started with all its main players and faced the challenge of the Spaniard.

Facing a team of partners with good relations, although all the superstars in the Real Madrid team wanted to create another massacre, after much consideration, they still suppressed the urge in their hearts.

Li Ang only played half of this game, but the BBC team played together for the full 90 minutes.

In the end, Bell, Benzema and Ronaldo scored goals one after another, and Vazquez added the icing on the cake.

However, the performance of the defense guarded by Varane and Nacho today can only be said to be average, and the goal guarded by Casilla also failed twice.

Real Madrid scored four goals, but in the end they only narrowly defeated the Spaniards by two goals, and everyone was happy with the result.

At least the Espanyol veterans are very satisfied with the result that they were able to score two goals against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

After taking a full eight days of rest, the Real Madrid generals who went to challenge Valencia away from home were not so friendly.

The Real Madrid superstars, who are full of physical fitness and energy, face Valencia, which is conceding nearly two goals per game, and they don't have any hands left!

In the first half alone, Real Madrid was in a hot state and stabbed Valencia four times!

Li Ang and Cristiano Ronaldo each scored twice and were in great condition. Bale, Benzema and Modric received assists respectively!

In the second half, Real Madrid continued their hot scoring momentum, basically scoring a goal every ten minutes.

Benzema and Bale once again scored one after another.

Asensio, who came on as a substitute, made the final cut!

Ancelotti also chose to call it quits at this time, not wanting the main players to continue to vent their desire to score goals in this already ruined game.

In the end, Real Madrid slaughtered Valencia 7-0 in the away game, which also improved the team's league record this season to 23 wins and 1 draw!

Barcelona has gritted its teeth in the past two rounds of the league and also won two consecutive victories without allowing Real Madrid to further widen the point difference.

But Atletico Madrid has suffered two consecutive draws, and the current point difference with Real Madrid has reached a desperate 17 points!

Atletico Madrid's dream of winning the league this season is completely shattered!

And it seems that Barcelona's fall behind in the league is not far away.
