Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"Oh——! Li Ang intercepted the ball from Messi's feet! Messi's change of direction was very fast, but Li Ang's reaction and kicking speed were also very fast!

The football was driven back to the midfield by Li Ang, a very decisive defensive choice, God!

Li Ang is an absolute genius on the defensive end! At the age of twenty, he interrupted Messi's advancement with the ball in one-on-one! "

Movistar's La Liga commentator enthusiastically praised Li Ang's pursuit and counterattack this time.

From the immediate pursuit after the ball was intercepted, to the calm pressure of Messi's cutting space, to the final decisive steal!

Li Ang used an absolutely wonderful one-on-one defense to make himself the protagonist of the Real Madrid camp in just half a minute!

Not to mention the commentators from Movistar who praised Li Ang, there was not a single commentator who was commentating on this game live that did not praise Li Ang.

However, Li Ang, who seemed to them to be extremely confident and calm, felt his heart beating very hard at this moment.

At the moment of the confrontation with Messi, Li Ang actually felt uncomfortable.

First of all, in terms of proportions, Messi is not thin at all.

At the moment of the head-on collision, Li Ang felt the stability of Messi's chassis and the strong body like a small steel cannon.

Secondly, he felt that his interception just now was fast enough, but Messi still almost missed it!

"This pace is so fucking fast!"

After silently cursing in his mind, Li Ang also pointed to his temple and gestured to Di Maria, indicating that he needed to focus more on the defensive end.

Against the top attackers in football today, Li Ang can use his physical advantage and rogue-like close pursuit to restrict him.

But not against Messi.

He didn't want to have this kind of gambling-style one-on-one confrontation again.

It's not because he is afraid of facing off against Messi, but because he clearly knows what bad results it will have for Real Madrid if he accidentally loses this kind of matchup.

So he needs help from his teammates.

At least, if Di Maria can catch up to the midfield, his speed can cause a certain degree of delay and interference to Messi.

After seeing Li Ang's rare serious reminder, Di Maria didn't feel any discomfort in her heart, but nodded seriously.

He and Messi have been teammates in the Argentina national team for a long time.

Of course he knows Messi's technical characteristics and strength.

If Li Ang needs his help in returning to defense, he is also willing to run more to interfere with Messi as much as possible.

There is nothing to be polite about in front of the El Clasico. Maybe after the game he can laugh and tease Messi for the misfortune he suffered today.

But at this moment, like Cristiano Ronaldo, Alonso and Li Ang, he is only fighting for Real Madrid's victory.

Fight with all your strength!

"That guy's defense is a bit harsh. Didn't he do anything dirty to you just now?"

After Thiago destroyed another of Real Madrid's reorganized attacks, Iniesta also took the opportunity to ask Messi a concerned question during the break.

Messi, who was looking at Li Ang thinking, heard Iniesta's words and shook his head after thinking about it carefully.

"No, his foot was very clean. He didn't step on my foot intentionally, and there was no additional foul action."

"Hey, that's weird."

Seeing Iniesta's confused look, Messi smiled and waved his hand, simply ending the topic.

"Do you want me to drop back more to get the ball?"

"That's not necessary. If we can withstand their attack during this period, it will be our strength point. You can save your physical strength and use it for the assault later."

"Oh well"

Seeing that Real Madrid finally threw a throw-in after waiting for a long time, Iniesta no longer bothered to communicate with Messi and quickly called for Thiago and himself to return to defense again.

After passing the ball back to Di Maria on the left, Ronaldo began to turn around and accelerate.

Di Maria took a moment to observe and made a bold cross just to avoid Keita's interception.

At this moment, Li Ang, who had advanced into Barcelona's half, did not continue to advance when the ball came. Instead, he did not stop the ball and directly passed the ball forward, looking for Kaká!

This short pass was very comfortable, and Kaka turned around after receiving the ball.

Benzema and Ronaldo have now approached the edge of Barcelona's penalty area.

Kaka looked at Adriano who rushed up to interfere with his defense. Without hesitation, he took the ball one step and directly passed the ball to the back of the Barcelona goal.

Benzema's forward movement in the middle of the penalty area took away Abidal and Keita who was returning to defense.

But at this moment, Ronaldo, who was rushing in at high speed, took off directly against Mascherano's defense and rushed to the top!

"Kaka looks like he's about to hit the ball. At the back point, Cristiano Ronaldo——!!!"

He Wei was also very passionate and shouted angrily at this moment!

Seeing that Cristiano Ronaldo's close-range shot to the top will help Real Madrid successfully break the deadlock in the game.

Valdez subconsciously waved his hand in front of the goal, but he barely managed to knock the header out of the goal frame!

The Real Madrid fans who first roared with excitement then held their heads and exclaimed in annoyance.

But Valdes, whose mind was still blank, was already hugged tightly by Barcelona's defensive players in celebration!

The Barcelona goalkeeper was actually stunned just now when he saw Ronaldo's header. He just stretched out his two arms in two directions like a reflex.

Who knew that Ronaldo's header was a little bit on the right side and he actually got hit by it!

Barcelona's defenders didn't care about their goalkeeper's rejoicing. Their morale was greatly boosted. They just felt that Valdes was in such excellent form today, and the possibility of them sealing a clean sheet against Real Madrid was greatly increased.

Seeing the goal turned into a corner kick, Cristiano Ronaldo was so happy that he lowered his head and cursed angrily.

His determination to win was clearly demonstrated at this moment.

Real Madrid players also felt it was a pity.

Only Mourinho quickly regained his composure after his angry regret.

"Press in! The set piece is a good opportunity for us! Pepe, Sergio, and the little lion all press into Barcelona's penalty area!"

Li Ang, who scored several headers in Milan last season, has now become a member of the "Real Madrid header team."

In previous set-piece training, Li Ang had already practiced with several header players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Ramos, and Pepe.

So now he followed Ramos directly into Barcelona's penalty area, putting pressure on Barcelona's defenders.

Mourinho is absolutely right when he says that set pieces are a good opportunity for Real Madrid.

Because Barcelona did not send Pique to start today, their tallest defensive player on the field at the moment is Abidal who is 1.86 meters tall.

Apart from that, Keita, who is 1.83 meters tall, is enough.

Except for the goalkeeper, all other Barcelona players are less than 1.8 meters tall, so they will naturally be at a disadvantage when it comes to defending set pieces.

Guardiola was also a little nervous at this moment. He walked to the sidelines and looked at his penalty area, also signaling to his disciples that they should try not to give their opponents room to sprint and jump.

To put it bluntly, the explosive power of these header players from Real Madrid is best if they can consume it on the ground.

If they really want to compete with Real Madrid for a high-altitude ball when the landing point is good enough, then Barcelona is seeking death.

Di Maria raised his right arm high, and then after a small run-up, he drove the football directly to the back of Barcelona's penalty area.

Ronaldo, who is at the front, and Pepe, who is near the center, both missed the ball one after another.

At the landing position, Leon and Ramos had already broken through the joint blockade of Keita and Alves, and kicked off the ground with all their strength to complete the takeoff!

Li Ang was positioned further forward than Ramos. After taking off, he judged that he could hit the ball and did not get out of the way.

Ramos has a better heading ability than him, but there is no room for humility in the air. Who can guarantee that Ramos can still hit the ball 100% after it leaks?

His waist and abdomen were tight, and he used the last moment to make an observation and judgment. Li Ang chose the safest header.

However, this time he did not directly continue to swing the ball into the mid-air in front of the goal.

He pushed the ball hard to the ground, hitting a bounce ball that was the most difficult and annoying for defensive players to deal with!

The football hit the turf in front of the Barcelona goal very smoothly. It did not hit a certain Barcelona player and fly towards the goal as Li Ang most expected.

After another high jump, the football flew to the area in front of the goal without encountering any obstruction, and Valdes quickly moved laterally.

Cristiano Ronaldo was stopped by Abidal's entanglement, and Pepe was also some distance away from the previous point.

But another figure in white, who had had few live broadcast shots and not many outstanding performances before, rushed to the front post at the most appropriate time!

"Benzema!!!"

Movistar's La Liga commentator roared with passion!

And Benzema also jumped slightly, and used a simple head shake to hit the goal and put the ball into Barcelona's small half-empty goal!

At this moment, the Bernabeu scene was completely ignited!

The Real Madrid fans, who were still nervous and worried before, used all their strength to roar with excitement!

They are venting!

Not only is he venting the huge pressure facing Barcelona, ​​but he is also venting the full passion in his chest at this moment!

Mourinho is no longer as excited as he was when Li Ang defended Messi.

In front of the boiling Real Madrid bench, he became the most clear-headed and calm person.

Forcibly suppressing the urge to punch and run, Mourinho pursed his lips and made a motion of pressing his hands down on the court.

But the Real Madrid players, who were celebrating equally passionately, could not see the gesture reminder from their coach.

Benzema skated and knelt down to celebrate near the corner flag, and was immediately thrown to the ground by his teammates as they surged forward.

Li Ang did not catch up with the first celebrating echelon, so he directly hugged and celebrated with Kaka and Long Ge who were also hanging behind.

After the passion subsided, Li Ang had time to high-five and hug Guo Feng.

"That's great, haha, thank you for your assist, little lion!"

Benzema will be in a good mood now.

Being able to score a goal in El Clasico is more satisfying than scoring ten goals for other teams!

Li Ang also smiled and congratulated Guofeng.

His position on the ball just now was a little further back, otherwise he would have to try to score the goal himself no matter what.

But it's not bad now, he received an assist, and Real Madrid successfully got the lead.

This situation was much better than Mourinho's prediction before the game.

"Hey! Stay focused, calm down first, and forget about this ball!"

At this moment, Mourinho's reminder and roar from the sidelines were heard by the Real Madrid players.

After Li Ang saw Uncle Piao's finger pointing to his temple, the excitement in his heart gradually subsided.

Barcelona's offensive firepower is very strong, and a one-goal lead is not safe. Barcelona can't tell when they will equalize the score with a wave of strength.

Real Madrid's players also slowly calmed down and calmed down.

The main reason is that they lost a lot to Barcelona in the past two years, and it was a bit miserable. They didn't dare to have any idea of ​​being proud in advance.

After the game restarted, Real Madrid pressed forward and held down Barcelona for two or three minutes, and then gradually began to retreat under Mourinho's command.

After all, after attacking for so long before, Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt players also need to take a break and recover their physical fitness.

However, the retreat at this time is not as simple as retreating to half-court and setting up a bus.

In the midfield, Mourinho's defense is layered and targeted.

First, we must focus on Iniesta. We must not allow him to calmly and comfortably organize Barcelona to launch an offensive after half-time.

Second, we must keep an eye on Messi. One person to guard and two people to double-team is a must-have package. Messi can no longer easily be given the opportunity to break through the defense one-on-one.

The third is to accumulate heavy troops in the middle of the midfield.

Barcelona's penetration ability in the center and rib area is too strong, so the more they value control of the center, the less Real Madrid can easily give up control and space!

When Inter Milan faced off against Barcelona before, Mourinho used a similar defensive model to make Barcelona uncomfortable.

Now Real Madrid has a double midfielder combination with stronger defensive capabilities, and the players in the midfield and backfield must be younger and more physically capable.

No matter how you look at it, Real Madrid's lineup has more capital than last year's Inter Milan to clamp down on Barcelona's offensive.

In order to better hold on to the lead, Mourinho even brought Benzema back.

When retreating, Real Madrid formed a 4231 formation. Leon and Alonso were behind, Di Maria went to the left midfield, Kaka was in the right midfield, and Benzema retreated to the center of the midfield. .

Just one Ronaldo is at the front, so he doesn't have to bear too much defensive responsibility.

This defensive formation indeed caused Barcelona players to spend more energy and physical energy in advancing than before.

At this moment, Messi, who was still nailed to Real Madrid's left rib area, also felt uncomfortable.

Because Li Ang was sticking to his side again now, but he was not as stubborn as the defensive players he had encountered before.

Li Ang seems to be in a relatively relaxed state, with a defensive position about one meter away from Messi, and even has the intention to chat with Messi from time to time.

"I heard that you and Zlatan felt uncomfortable playing together last season. I didn't dare to ask him in Milan before. Tell me, Leo, are those rumors true?"

"Tell me about your usual training mode at Barcelona. They all say that your tactical concepts are the same from the youth training echelon to the first team. Is there nothing else?"

"Did the professor almost sign you back then? If the professor was willing to spend more money, do you think Barcelona would let you go?"

"Hey, tell me, my Spanish should be fine, or I can communicate with you in Italian."

Faced with Li Ang coming over from time to time to harass and ask questions, Messi had a headache, but this guy also asked some very sensitive questions that Messi subconsciously wanted to refute!

I originally wanted to stay away from Li Ang, but seeing that Li Ang seemed to have made up his mind to stick to his posture, Messi finally couldn't help it.

"Stop talking nonsense! Those rumors are all false. You are also a professional player. Don't you know how virtuous the media are?!"

"Huh? I thought you wouldn't speak but you look a little anxious? If those are all fake, why are you anxious now?"

"I don't!"

"You really are, you look a little angry."

"."

Messi, who felt that his emotions were really fluctuating, also didn't want to have a verbal entanglement with Li Ang anymore.

He turned around and retreated decisively, and at the same time signaled Thiago, who was holding the ball on the sideline, to give the ball to him.

Messi, who took the initiative to take the ball, started to advance from the right near the center line, and Li Ang quickly put away his talkative appearance before, and followed Messi's inward route to defend.

Seeing that Di Maria was about to return to the defensive position at Li Ang's call, Li Ang still didn't take the initiative to grab this piece of "nohhide candy".

Messi, who didn't want to be double-teamed, gritted his teeth and made a decision in the end.

He wants to get past this annoying guy who keeps chattering in front of him!

The sinking shoulder began to slightly change direction. Messi did not give Leon much time to react. The next moment he still wanted to go inward, he spiked the ball and went to the sideline to make a strong breakthrough!

Li Ang's reaction is still very fast, and his instant burst speed is far inferior to Messi.

But he was cautious and did not make a 100% defensive decision when maintaining a certain distance from Messi.

To put it bluntly, you have to wait for Messi to move first. Once Messi moves, relying on his excellent positioning skills, Li Ang once again "sticks" to Messi before he loses his position.

Messi was stopped by Li Ang midway through his start. It was really as uncomfortable as it was.

The key is that Li Ang kept making small moves where the referee could not see.

First, he pulled the jersey to loosen it. When Messi wanted to explode and rush over, Li Ang pulled Messi's jersey again, and then quickly released it!

And Master Pei, who had already pressed out in time, took the lead and drove the ball back to the midfield, completing the clearance!

The referee and linesman didn't say anything, and the game was still in progress.

Messi slapped away Li Ang's hand that was still on his waist and muttered something dissatisfied.

But in the end, he did not go further to appeal to the referee, but just glared at Li Ang angrily.

Li Ang didn't say much at this moment, he just smiled and looked at Messi with his big white teeth.

"Hey, stay here and continue chatting. Why are you running away? Don't run away Leo, I'm your fan!"

Foodies are shamelessly asking for subscriptions again.

Hehe~

Hehehehehehehehehe~
