Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Mourinho and Real Madrid have once again become the focus of public opinion throughout Spain.

After two rounds of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona in absolute "Mourinho style".

The results of these two rounds quickly spread throughout the world of football the day after Real Madrid won the championship!

To use the original words in the headline report of "Marca" the next day:

Barcelona, ​​which just won the Champions League and La Liga double this summer, looked like a football hegemon just over two months ago.

Now it's like fighting Real Madrid in the quagmire for two rounds and 180 minutes, and then being knocked out by Real Madrid who is also exhausted but more tenacious.

Li Ang is the key to Real Madrid becoming more tenacious on the defensive end!

This is a view shared by almost all Western media and fans of both parties.

Real Madrid fans are thankful that Li Ang returned in time for this summer window.

However, Barcelona fans were filled with hatred when they saw the reports about Li Ang!

If Real Madrid still had the same starting lineup in the second half of last year's league, it would be possible to defeat Barcelona in two rounds.

But the possibility is very small, and the scene will never be so reassuring to Real Madrid fans.

Barcelona fans are even more convinced.

If Li Ang's defensive methods were not too rogue and the physical exertion on Messi was not great, they would definitely win this year's Western Super Cup!

The way Li Ang defended Messi during the game was also discussed with interest by countless fans.

It’s not just La Liga.

Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A

Fans of these mainstream European leagues are talking about Li Ang's close marking of Messi on the Internet.

However, after discussing and studying for several days and summarizing a series of defensive points, these fans also gave up the idea of ​​letting their own midfielders learn from them.

Without him, the requirements are too comprehensive and there are too many points to pay attention to.

The first is to react quickly and be flexible enough; the second is to be fast enough to barely keep up with Messi; the third is to have a good defensive positioning, because if Messi loses his position, he can only foul; the fourth is to have the skills to steal the ball. Exquisite enough; the fifth physical fitness must be good

The more it was summarized, the more frightened fans from all walks of life were.

Taking a few abilities into account, there are still many good defensive midfielders on the market who meet the requirements.

But it is too difficult to have all these characteristics.

Li Ang may not be top-notch in every technical ability in football, but he is better in one or two specialties, and his other defensive skills are not bad!

This is outrageous. If he continues to grow smoothly for a few seasons, what kind of defensive midfielder will Li Ang eventually become?

Milan fans will be in tears and add a few words to the topic of discussion.

"He also has good headers and sufficient organizational skills. I heard that he stole Pirlo's long pass before leaving.

Now you know why we are reluctant to let the little lion go, right? The loss is huge, the loss is huge.”

The Real Madrid fans were embarrassed when they saw this, and they all comforted the Milan fans and expressed their gratitude.

"Thank you to Brother Milan for helping to train the little lions for half a season. This time we defeated Barcelona, ​​thanks to Brother Milan's three victories!"

"Then can you rent the little lion to us for a few more years?"

"Ah, that won't work. We are currently using the little lion. You can use another one, such as another defensive general in our formation, Hedi."

"roll!"

Today's Li Ang can be said to be a direct hit in the match against Messi.

The level of fire is even far greater than when he helped Milan win the Italian Double.

However, even when it received a lot of attention and discussion, the person involved was still reviewing the game and was not very satisfied with his performance.

Although I feel very pleased with Li Ang's awareness and clear understanding.

But Xavi Alonso looked at Li Ang in the post-match review meeting and kept shaking his head as if he disliked his performance.

My hands are also a little itchy.

But before he could take action, Mourinho slapped Li Ang's head first.

"Be serious! You are facing Messi, and he is nearly four years older than you. Are you really so dissatisfied with your performance?"

"No, boss, I was almost turned into a stake by him, and he also scored two goals in the second round, I think."

Listening to Li Ang's methodical analysis and narration, Mourinho was also speechless.

Come on, are there not many defensive players who have been turned into wooden piles by Messi in the past two seasons?

As for Messi's passing and shooting achievements in the second round, that is more normal.

Facing the defense of a 20-year-old midfielder, it would be abnormal if Messi fails to fire every game.

He gave Li Ang another slap on the shoulder. Amid the laughter of the Real Madrid first-team players, Mourinho stopped caring about Li Ang and continued today's review meeting.

But Li Ang obviously didn't mean to joke.

At the end of the review meeting in the afternoon, when the other Real Madrid players began to enjoy their two-day vacation, he changed into his training clothes and ran to the training ground again.

In this cup match against Messi, Li Ang could only rate his performance in the first round at 80 points. In the second round, there was no score.

Because Li Ang felt that his defense in the second round failed, and he failed directly.

No matter how much the outside media boasts about his defensive role, no matter how much the big guys in the team praise his performance.

He felt like he had failed.

Especially in the round when Messi scored, he was completely beaten by Messi and became a wooden stake. He failed to react and didn't even have time to commit a foul.

At that time, he watched helplessly as Messi passed by him and completed the go-ahead shot.

That feeling was so powerless. Li Ang hated this feeling of powerlessness, very, very much!

Regardless of whether he really liked the position of defensive midfielder when he first chose to embark on the path of professional football.

Now seven years later, defense has been engraved in his bones and flowing in his blood.

Defense was also his first ability to establish himself in football.

Every player has their own court skills that they are most proud of, and what Li Ang is most proud of is his defense.

It can be said that Messi, who went all out in the second round of the Western Super Cup, taught him a good lesson.

After the first round, he was a little complacent and was immediately woken up.

"I'm still lazy."

After warning in his heart, Li Ang started today's additional training with the training staff full of energy.

Frontal interception; pursuit of sideways sliding tackles with the inside of the foot and sliding tackles with the outside of the foot; position selection training

Li Ang started to warm up with several basic defensive skills, and then began to further refine the defensive skills of tackling and retaining the ball.

After completing an hour and a half of additional training to ensure quality and intensity, Li Ang entered the physical therapy area to receive a massage and relax.

The same thing happened to him the next day. After extra practice and physical therapy, he resumed relaxation in the club's swimming pool. He worked hard for four hours in the afternoon before going home.

After a slightly tiring but fulfilling two days of additional training, Li Ang's heart, which was filled with a sense of crisis and restlessness because of Messi, truly settled down.

But just when he was getting ready for the upcoming new season of La Liga, surprise happened again.

Due to the breakdown of labor negotiations between the Spanish Players Union and the Spanish Professional Football League, the first round of the 2011-2012 La Liga season was postponed.

This disrupted the preparations of almost all La Liga teams.

After all, after the league was postponed, La Liga players who had adjusted their physical condition had to wait a few more days to see if they had a chance to play.

Big clubs can urgently invite other clubs to play friendly matches to keep their players in shape.

But it will not be so easy for clubs in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga to arrange friendly matches again.

For example, Barcelona invited Naples to play a friendly match on August 22, and Real Madrid also invited Galatasaray to play a friendly match on August 23.

But their opponents in the second round of their respective leagues can only rely on training to try to keep their players in shape.

On the afternoon of August 27, La Liga, which had been postponed for one round, finally officially started.

Most of the mid-to-lower La Liga teams that played first performed very averagely.

The players were generally not very excited, and the scores were basically 0-1, 1-1.

It wasn't until the evening of August 28, when Real Madrid made their debut, that La Liga fans finally saw a goal battle.

Mourinho, who started with a deformed 442 formation, was very confident in his disciples.

In the previous friendly match with Galatasaray, Real Madrid won 4-0.

Facing their current second-round league opponent Zaragoza, Real Madrid has no reason not to win a hearty victory to get off to a good start.

This is indeed the case.

Zaragoza, which had not played any friendly matches or official matches for more than ten days, fell apart on the defensive end as soon as they started.

Kaka sent his first through ball attempt of the game in the fourth minute of the first half.

As a result, he did not expect, and Benzema, who started the game, did not expect that this pass penetrated Zaragoza's two defense lines and appeared in the penalty area!

That is to say, Ronaldo's attention was very concentrated from the beginning of the game, and he finally stopped the ball on the left side of Zaragoza's penalty area and pushed into the far corner to successfully score.

Otherwise, Benzema, who missed this opportunity because of his confusion, will probably be criticized by "Marca" again tomorrow.

Well, although he has been criticized a lot now

With this almost free goal at the beginning of the game, Real Madrid became more and more relaxed as they played and entered the state quickly.

In the 13th minute, Di Maria, who came in from behind, passed two Zaragoza defensive players.

Then he used a clever pass behind the defense to help Ronaldo get a one-on-one opportunity!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who felt hot on his feet today, did not spit out the cake and used a crisp and beautiful shot to help Real Madrid extend the lead to two goals!

Li Ang was surprised when he saw it in the backcourt.

Although Zaragoza was ranked in the lower reaches of La Liga last season, barely able to avoid relegation in advance.

But it’s not like conceding two goals in just ten minutes, right?

After Mourinho saw the goal take place on the sidelines, he sat back in the coaching bench with relief.

Regardless of whether Real Madrid wants it or not, the fact is that Real Madrid has taken advantage of the postponement of La Liga.

Therefore, as long as the game can be won smoothly, Mourinho feels that he does not need to be too "passionate".

But his goodwill was not recognized by Zaragoza's home fans.

There were boos at La Romeda Stadium.

Perhaps part of this is Zaragoza fans booing their own players for not living up to expectations.

But there is no doubt that they are still booing the Real Madrid players.

So Zaragoza was defeated without any surprise.

The kind that was really beaten up.

Before the first half was over, Real Madrid had already scored four goals against Zaragoza!

Ronaldo failed to score a hat trick in the first half, but he still became the most shining presence with his half-time data of two shots and one pass.

Di Maria and Benzema each scored goals in the new season, and Kaká also scored an assist.

Real Madrid's four main players on the offensive end all gained personal statistics, and the locker room was full of joy at halftime.

After the start of the second half, Real Madrid also slowed down the offensive pace to save face, but Zaragoza did not appreciate it.

Li Ang became happy, wishing Zaragoza could be more aggressive and attack more aggressively, giving him more shots of performance.

It's a pity that before he could grab a few goals, Real Madrid's counterattack started.

Brother Long made a long pass and accurately found Ronaldo, who was running wildly on the wing.

The Portuguese superstar just observed for a moment, and then used a cross from the edge of the penalty area to find the back of Zaragoza's penalty area!

After the football passed over Benzema's head, Kaka unloaded the ball perfectly in an almost unguarded position!

Almost copying it, he chose to push the ball into the far corner of Zaragoza's goal!

After scoring the goal, Kaka laughed happily and pointed at Ronaldo, waiting to hug him and celebrate!

The loud boos at La Romeda Stadium also disappeared at this moment.

And Li Ang, who was used to the embarrassing Milan rhythm in Serie A last season, didn't know what to say now.

At the beginning of fifty minutes, Real Madrid took a 5-0 lead!

One goal in ten minutes.

Ibrahimovic will probably cry after seeing this offensive support and offensive efficiency.

In the end, with the feeling of playing football like clocking out of get off work, Li Ang easily won a 6-0 victory with the team!

Cristiano Ronaldo also scored another goal in the 73rd minute of the second half after receiving an assist from Benzema, completing a hat trick.

When this one-sided massacre ended, the local pro-Real Madrid media in Madrid couldn't wait to release the slogan of regaining the La Liga championship.

Although Barcelona just lost the Spanish Super Cup, after all, they have the confidence to win three consecutive La Liga titles.

Therefore, the pro-Barcelona media immediately began to fight back.

Carrying the power of winning the European Super Cup with a complete victory over Porto, Barcelona entered the stage of the new season of La Liga on the evening of August 29.

Under the attention of countless La Liga fans, Barcelona finally defeated Villarreal with a 5-0 massacre!

This shocked the fans much more than Real Madrid massacred Zaragoza.

Because Huang Qian Villarreal was the fourth-ranked Champions League team in La Liga last season!

Even this summer, Villarreal let go of two generals, Cazorla and Capdevila, but the main central axis is still intact.

So when Barcelona defeated Huang Qian in the first battle, the trend of the Western media quickly changed to praising Barcelona.

This momentum lasted until the end of the international match day in early September, when Barcelona was beaten to a draw by Real Sociedad in the away game.

I don’t know if Barcelona’s players have been too affected by the “FIFA virus”.

In the league match, they clearly had a two-goal lead in the first ten minutes.

Real Madrid players who heard the news at that time lost interest.

Unexpectedly, in the next eighty minutes, Barcelona could not score a goal.

The resilient Real Sociedad struck twice with lightning strikes in the 59th and 61st minutes of the second half, which stunned Barcelona!

This chain dropped so much that it shocked the jaws of countless La Liga fans.

However, the Real Madrid players have already started their third round of La Liga and have no idea about the results of Barcelona's game.

Mourinho once again adopted a 4-4-2 formation after his great success in the last round of the league.

Against Getafe, a team whose performance was almost the same as Zaragoza's last season, Psy still disdains defensive pressure.

Just attack and that's it!

And in this game, it wasn't just Cristiano Ronaldo and the others who wreaked havoc on the offensive end, Li Ang also had a great time pushing forward with Mourinho's permission.

Uncle Psy was very satisfied when he saw Li Ang's decent back-breaking and aerial challenge.

Although he felt quite embarrassed towards Allegri, Mourinho really wanted to send him an email after the game.

I have to thank Allegri for developing Li Ang's offensive attributes~

Li Ang still did not score his first goal or assist in La Liga in this game.

But he had a supporting pass before the goal.

At any rate, he pushed forward and passed the ball to Di Maria on the sideline. Then Di Maria passed the ball and assisted Benzema to score, right?

Li Ang felt that he could still boast a little bit this time.

After setting the tone of mainly attacking tactics, Real Madrid was scored by Getafe in the second half.

But in the final 5-1 victory, the goal conceded was no longer painful.

After the game, the Real Madrid generals celebrated even more happily when they found out that Barcelona was out of luck!

After all, although Mourinho has not emphasized it, the club has never publicized it to the outside world.

But all players who join Real Madrid know that their current season goals are actually very simple.

At least in the league.

their season.

We must pull Barcelona off that damn La Liga throne!
