Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Push the time forward half a minute.

"Leo Ang was advancing with the ball and sent a through ball! What a great ball! Cristiano Ronaldo caught up with the football, cut inside and passed it to Benzema! Hit the goal -!!! The ball went in! This shooting technique is so stable ! Benzema."

"Very beautiful--!!!"

Duan Xuan finished explaining the whole process of the goal passionately, and was about to praise Li Ang in the next paragraph.

Xu Yang's passionate roar abruptly interrupted his words.

When Xu Yang was done venting, he hurriedly spoke again, fearing that Xu Yang next to him would do something wrong again.

"Cristiano Ronaldo's forward movement and final ball distribution, as well as Benzema's connecting shot, are all very exciting! But we can't forget that it was Li Ang's decisive forward move after grabbing the ball in the midfield that created the goal. This is an excellent opportunity to counterattack!

Li Ang's through ball was so beautiful and timely! I think Li Ang can take at least 40% of the credit for this goal! "

"Yes! Li Ang's steal of Eriksen was crucial, and he did not delay Real Madrid's counterattack at all. During the transition between offense and defense, Li Ang seized the excellent opportunity and rhythm this time!"

The two commentators praised Li Ang one by one.

At this moment, more than 70,000 Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu also gave their own applause after the celebration gradually ended.

There is no doubt that this applause is for Ronaldo and Benzema, but also for Li Ang.

But for Eriksson, the applause at the Bernabeu was an extremely harsh cacophony.

His brain was buzzing, and he quickly walked back to his own half with his lips pursed.

Eriksen, who is now 19 years old, is not as aggressive as Kovacic, who was suppressed by Li Ang in the last round.

It's not like Kovacic who is very unconvinced by Li Ang. He obviously can't defeat Li Ang in the matchup, but he always wants to challenge Li Ang to save face.

After Eriksen was overwhelmingly denied the ball, he already felt the difficulty of facing off against Li Ang.

At the same time, his mind became calmer.

After the slight embarrassment slowly faded away, Erikson decided to temporarily avoid close direct conversations with Leon.

In a confrontation, he is no match for Li Ang.

Moreover, Li Ang's interception speed was too fast. Eriksen felt that it was better not to press too much into Real Madrid's hinterland.

So when the game restarted, what Li Ang saw was Eriksen who used more passes to organize the offense for Ajax.

Eriksson no longer easily advances past the center line, and Li Ang naturally doesn't want to press too far forward and cause trouble for others.

The defensive pressure on his shoulders is not small at all. Between being aggressive and being prudent, Li Ang must still choose safety as his first choice.

Slowly, Ajax gradually stabilized the midfield situation.

However, this small problem cannot trouble Mourinho.

Uncle Bird observed for a while and first signaled Callejon to retreat to the right side of the midfield.

Then he gave Li Ang new tactical instructions:

Directly into the vast area of ​​​​Ajax's midfield and backfield!

This moment made De Boer extremely sick.

Previously, Li Ang did not dare to press easily because he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defense on the right and center of the midfield.

But now Mourinho has asked Callejon, who has excellent physical fitness and is particularly devoted to defense, to help Leon fill the right midfield position.

Li Ang, who has lost part of his defensive tasks, can naturally move forward and continue to have one-on-one "discussions" with Eriksen.

A proper midfielder-forward tactical play, and the key point is that Callejon does not drop back to make up the numbers.

He can really defend!

So it's no wonder that so many coaches like to use Tiger Balm on their players.

Callejon can play as a winger if he advances, can defend midfielder if he retreats, and maybe even guard the wings later on.

I am willing to do any job, and I can still do it decently.

That is to say, the technical talent seems to be low, but this is not a big problem for Mourinho.

With Di Maria on the left, Callejon on the right, and Alonso behind him, Leon felt comfortable playing again.

And just as he rushed towards the Ajax half with joy, Eriksson's scalp also felt numb.

Looking at Li Ang's posture, it was obvious that he was coming for him!

Subconsciously, I felt nervous, and Eriksson passed the ball faster.

No, in other words, Ajax's frequency of passing the ball in the midfield and backfield has accelerated.

Benzema opened his position to the right side of the frontcourt, directly giving up the position from the top of the arc in the Ajax half-court to the top of the arc in the penalty area to Li Ang.

He and Ronaldo assisted Li Ang on the left and right to press Ajax's backcourt passing space.

Di Maria and Callejon are the second echelon of the sweep at this moment.

Under Real Madrid's high pressure in the frontcourt, Ajax eventually had to kick the ball forward and send long passes from the backcourt.

Their two forwards, Sig Thorsson and Borrigat, are relatively tall, so they should have a lot of advantages in fighting for the top.

But in fact, under Ramos's aggressive and mobile defense, even if the two of them stood still, they could not take advantage of the high ball.

Ajax couldn't take any points, and with Alonso and Callejon actively fighting for it, the ball would basically be taken back by Real Madrid.

And when Alonso won the ball, it meant that Real Madrid did not need to make a short pass to get through the midfield and a quick counterattack began!

At present, Real Madrid's two wings, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, are both top football stars in passing and stopping skills, and both of them are very fast.

Don't underestimate Benzema's mobility this year. Before he gained weight, Guo Feng's speed was completely sufficient, and he could be used on the wing.

So starting from the 12th minute of the first half, Real Madrid launched wave after wave of threatening counterattacks.

No matter who receives the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo or Benzema, they will immediately start to advance quickly with the ball.

Li Ang, who has a huge running range in the middle, will now become their best support partner.

Benzema will feel better and better as he plays more and more. He is full of confidence when facing Vertonghen on the wing and the Ajax players returning to defense.

In the 19th minute of the first half, after receiving another accurate long pass from Alonso, Benzema saw that Ajax's right wing-back Anita was a little slow to return to defense this time.

He unloaded the ball, observed, and then made a small attack on the wing!

Ajax's left center back Vertonghen is also very fast, but he has a big problem with his defensive positioning at this moment. He initially chose to move in to prevent Benzema from cutting inside.

The result was that this move he made made Benzema feel particularly comfortable walking on the ball!

The shortcomings of the three central defenders were revealed at this moment.

When defending, if the wing backs are slower to return to defense, the entire center back line will have to face direct attacks from the opponent's wing and center.

There is nothing to say about Vertonghen's personal ability. He made defensive remedies immediately and also suppressed Benzema's space to dribble further.

But this time, Benzema was not fighting alone. He was always supported by his teammates.

After hooking Vertonghen, Benzema knocked the ball decisively to Li Ang, who had always kept a suitable distance from him.

Li Ang looked at Cristiano Ronaldo on the other side who started to penetrate the penalty area diagonally. He adjusted his posture and was about to stuff the ball into the Ajax penalty area!

Vertonghen quickly moved in again, and Alderweireld, who was standing in the middle, subconsciously retreated to double-team Ronaldo.

But in the next moment, Li Ang passed the ball in the completely opposite direction to what he was looking at!

He passed the ball back to Benzema, who had quietly cut inside!

Another way of passing the ball from east to west. Li Ang has used this move for the second time recently. The key is that the effect is outstanding when used!

Both Vertonghen and Alderweireld were deceived by his eyes for a moment.

Benzema smoothly led the ball into the Ajax penalty area. If Ronaldo was in his position, he would definitely hit it with a direct kick.

The angle is a bit small, but Ronaldo's shooting skills from the far corner are also excellent, without hesitation at all.

However, Guofeng may still be a little unsure, and finally chose to cross the ball with a strong kick to the ground.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who got rid of Sidwell at the back of the goal, was not "happy" at all when facing this good goal. He simply pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal with his left foot!

At this moment, only twelve seconds have passed since Alonso launched a long pass to counterattack!

Alonso, Benzema, Li Ang, and Ronaldo were very simple in touching and dribbling the ball in this counterattack goal, but their cooperation was very smooth!

Such a pleasing and sharp counterattack also conquered the home fans of the Bernabeu.

Under the passionate cheers that broke out like a wave, Mourinho waved his fists and showed off his face, and then gave his disciples applause with satisfaction.

And many reporters who came to the Bernabeu today with different thoughts could only sigh secretly.

In the end, I couldn't help but write an article in advance, praising the outstanding performance of Li Ang and Real Madrid today.

Li Ang once again made a gesture of spreading his hands outside the Ajax penalty area, and then ran towards Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema who were pointing at him.

Fans, no matter how slow to react, can now see that Li Ang is going to fight back to the end today!

He did not gain personal offensive data in these two goals for Real Madrid, but his role was very prominent.

This kind of performance of instigating attacks, regardless of whether it will appear frequently in subsequent games, at least in today's Champions League group stage, it is not inconsistent at all for Li Ang to wear the No. 10 jersey!

Duan Xuan and Xu Yang became excited again. They kept praising Li Ang, which made the Chinese fans in front of countless TV sets become energetic.

At this point in the game, Real Madrid had a two-goal advantage in twenty minutes.

Ajax head coach De Boer is no longer in the good mood when he was chased by Leon for his autograph.

After recognizing the reality, he quickly adjusted his playing style and shrank his formation.

Seeing that De Boer was convinced, Mourinho did not pursue him fiercely and took advantage of the situation to signal his players to slow down the rhythm first.

Anyway, the initiative now lies with Real Madrid. If Ajax is willing to accept defeat, then Real Madrid's players will be happy to save more energy.

If Ajax finally intends to press out and make a last-ditch effort, then Real Madrid, which is recharged, will continue to fight Ajax's counterattack.

Mourinho couldn't be more skilled at playing this trick.

During the rest of the first half, neither team launched a large-scale offensive.

After the first half of the game ran out smoothly, De Boer and the Ajax players hurried back to the visiting team's locker room to make tactical adjustments.

And Mourinho, who had an extra eye, also thought quickly from De Boer's perspective.

As soon as the second half started, Ajax launched a forward pressing offensive to grab the opening.

After all, DeBoer still couldn't accept the result of returning with a 0-2 defeat.

Moreover, Ajax cannot hold back on the defensive end. If they insist on defending, it is very likely that they will concede more goals due to Real Madrid's attack.

So DeBoer felt that it was better to press out and grab the opening and give it a try.

If you win the fight and get back a victory, when the score becomes 1-2, the game situation will immediately become different.

If we lose the fight, it’s already 0-2 anyway, so what happens if we lose the fight?

At least Ajax players will agree that they still have a fight on the offensive end.

The tactical thinking is unified, and Ajax still has something to say when it comes to attacking.

However, after seeing Mourinho's opening arrangement for the second half, De Boer almost vomited out his old blood!

"Pay attention to the defensive connection between each other! Karim, you dare to press the opponent's No. 8 ball position. Without his passing and advancement, Ajax's offensive threat will be reduced by almost a third."

Li Ang is now actively giving Benzema defensive ideas, and Real Madrid's formation has directly transformed into a four-two-three-one.

Alonso and Li Ang dropped deep to form a double midfielder, and Di Maria and Callejon retreated to the full-back position.

Benzema even changed his body and kicked the midfielder, leaving only Ronaldo to step forward!

Mourinho's temporary change of formation directly ruined Ajax's plans!

When DeBoer thought Mourinho would be conservative first, Mourinho chose to actively attack quickly.

When De Boer thought that Mourinho would continue to counterattack, Mourinho directly retracted his outstretched fists and retreated conservatively!

Ajax was in a difficult position, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and start a strong attack.

But after spending a long time gnawing at Real Madrid's three-layer defense line, which is like steel and concrete, Ajax did not even get a few points of the "wall skin" of the second layer of defense.

After truly feeling the defensive toughness of the double defensive midfielder composed of Alonso and Leon, all Ajax's offensive players could only look at the "wall" and sigh.

Erikson was even more shocked and confused.

He really couldn't understand how Li Ang could run away so well!

In the first half, both offense and defense were involved, and in the second half, almost one person swept through to support the coverage and protection of Real Madrid's midfield.

Alonso only needs to be responsible for vertical interception and leakage correction. The two of them divide the work, which makes Ajax's offensive players complain endlessly.

The key is that Eriksen also looked at Li Ang's appearance record before the game.

From Real Madrid's first game this season to today's Champions League group stage, Li Ang really didn't miss every game!

There is no record of being substituted early in a game.

"He is really an iron man. If you partner with Li Ang, you will feel very at ease, right?"

Such a thought suddenly flashed through Eriksen's mind. While feeling emotional, he looked at the Real Madrid midfielders and frontcourt players with envy.

The current Ajax does not have such a strong midfielder to wipe his ass, otherwise he would not retreat due to fear of losing the ball too much.

After feeling that his own offensive was getting weaker and weaker, Eriksen could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

DeBoer on the sidelines felt even more bitter.

Mourinho didn't give him any chance, and that was pretty much it.

Instead of trying to score points against Real Madrid, it's better to be more realistic and think about how to beat Lyon, and at the same time get a few more goal differences against Dinamo Zagreb.

De Boer, whose thoughts had already begun to fly to the next round of the Champions League group stage, also made a decision, signaling that his players could gradually recycle their formation.

Even if Ajax is unlikely to be able to hold on, it would be good to lose a few fewer goal differentials.

In the first round, they tied with Lyon 0-0. In the follow-up, it is unclear whether the goal difference will be used to determine the group ranking.

As long as Real Madrid can beat Lyon by 3 or even 4 goals in the next round, then Ajax will have a chance to seize second place in the group.

After figuring this out, DeBoer also began to call on the midfielders and backfield players on the bench to warm up.

Mourinho saw this scene and understood clearly, and also indicated that his players could strive for more time in control of the court.

This is not a tacit understanding. It can only be said that the coaches on both sides ultimately chose the least consuming style of play.

After the full-time whistle sounded, Real Madrid easily won another Champions League group stage victory.

With six points from two games, they currently continue to occupy the first place in Group D.

Li Ang graciously accepted another interview with reporters after today's game.

Li Ang did not explain too much about the celebration with his head tilted and hands spread out on the court today.

After all, everyone knows that Li Ang is already giving face to the media that caused trouble by not choosing to name them.

When a reporter from "Marca" mentioned the topic of Li Ang and the Real Madrid team's Champions League goals this season.

Li Ang first confirmed Real Madrid's final results in the Champions League last season.

After learning that he was the top four, Li Ang scratched his head, smiled at the camera with the microphone, and responded jokingly:

"As far as my personal goal is concerned, it can't be worse than last season, right? Let's reach the semi-finals first~"
