Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"Nacho Fernandez! A youngster from Real Madrid's youth training who has already played in the Real Madrid first team last season. He is 21 years old this year and plays the role of central defender. He can also play as a full-back and defensive midfielder.

He is another outstanding youth player produced by Real Madrid Castilla in recent years, and he is also a good friend of Li Ang. He and Li Ang were once affectionately called the 'Defensive Twin Stars' by Real Madrid fans in Castilla."

Listening to He Wei's mouth, he didn't know where he collected the detailed but credible information about Nacho.

Chinese fans quickly took Nacho's slightly mature face to heart.

Li Ang's friend, and he was once known as the defensive twin stars of Real Madrid Castilla together with Li Ang?

That must be supported!

Many Chinese fans even took out their mobile phones while watching the game and immediately searched for sporadic information about Nacho on the Chinese Internet.

At this moment, Nacho could not have imagined that in the distant country of China, he would be fueled by a commentator and a tacit high-five between him and Li Ang.

He himself has attracted the curious attention of millions, if not tens of millions, of fans.

At this moment, he was a little nervous and wiped the back of his hair that he had combed in the locker room before.

Mourinho's expectations for his performance are not very high, and the tactical task given to him is to guard the right wing first. If he has enough energy, he can help Li Ang with more defense.

The offensive aspect depends on his own judgment. If there is a chance, he can cover the side.

But Nacho is still very clear-headed now, just like Li Ang who just played in Real Madrid last season, knowing what Mourinho needs him to do most.

So after he came on the field, he stayed in his position conscientiously. He could pass the ball in transition, but he didn't even think about going forward.

Mourinho looked at Nacho's overly honest appearance, smiled and paced the sidelines without saying a word, and finally sat back on the coaching bench.

It's a pity that there are no surprises, but in La Liga where Real Madrid needs to move forward more steadily, Mourinho no longer needs surprises.

It is more important to defend well, secure victory and continue to put pressure on Barcelona.

Nacho seems to understand his current position in Real Madrid's formation, is not impetuous, and is defensively solid.

With this understanding, it means that Nacho is also a smart player.

"Smart and down-to-earth, these two boys are indeed good friends, and the same goes for their personalities."

After muttering something in his mind, the smile on Mourinho's lips became wider and wider.

Sitting aside, Karanka knew that another Real Madrid youth player was about to get more playing opportunities.

Li Ang last summer, Callejon who returned this summer, and Nacho who is now almost stable in the Real Madrid first team.

It's not expensive to be obedient, easy to use and worry-free. This home-grown youth training is great to use.

After significantly slowing down the pace in the second half, Real Madrid finally won a league victory with a solid 2-0 result.

In the second half, Arbeloa, Kaka and Ronaldo were all replaced one after another.

Kaka was also elected as the best player of the game with his assists and two goals.

Kaka, who was holding champagne in his hand, was very happy. He thanked Mourinho for giving him another chance to prove himself, thanked his family for their encouragement to him, and finally thanked Leon again.

"Little Lion made me deeply aware of the necessity of transformation on the court. I am no longer young. I will be thirty years old next year, but now I can still produce good data. I am really grateful to the coach and Li Ang. Trust in me helps”

Kaka's speech once again aroused the keen interest of many reporters in gossiping.

But after expressing his gratitude, Kaka took the champagne and left the interview area directly, without giving them a chance to inquire further.

Real Madrid, which has successfully continued its winning streak and has won seven consecutive games in the league, once again put the pressure on Barcelona.

We are still in the home team's dressing room at Camp Nou, and the Barcelona players who are preparing to compete with Racing Santander should know the result of Real Madrid's side.

After all, there is almost ten minutes between the two games, and no matter how bad the network is on Barcelona's side, Guardiola should know about Real Madrid's seventh consecutive league victory.

Many Real Madrid fans turned to pay attention to Barcelona's situation as soon as the Real Madrid game ended.

However, Barcelona, ​​which was playing at home today, still did not dare to lose its lead.

4-0!

Barcelona gave Racing Santander a disastrous defeat before the Champions League group stage came again.

After this round of leagues, there are only three undefeated teams left in La Liga.

Real Madrid started with seven consecutive wins, Barcelona had four wins and three draws, and Sevilla had three wins and four draws.

These three teams happen to be the current top three in La Liga.

Levante, who was unexpectedly ranked fourth in La Liga, was a dark horse that Mourinho had previously praised.

With a record of three wins, three draws and one loss, the team has successfully shined in La Liga.

Sevilla got off to a good start and has now successfully squeezed into the top four of La Liga ahead of Valencia and Malaga.

However, before the start of the season, the Western media were generally optimistic. Villarreal and Atletico Madrid, which were ranked fourth and fifth in the league last season, did not perform well.

Yellow Submarine Villarreal is almost becoming a "sinking boat" now.

They were beaten successively by Bayern and Napoli in the Champions League.

While losing two consecutive games in the Champions League group stage, they also started the league with one win, four draws and two losses, currently ranking twelfth in La Liga.

Atletico Madrid's record is slightly better.

Currently ranked first in the group with one win and one draw in the Europa League with a goal difference advantage.

In the league, they are ranked ninth in the league with two wins, three draws and two losses. The league is quite satisfactory, so it's pretty passable.

At present, although there is not much suspense about the La Liga title this season, there is still a high probability that the championship will be between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

But the suspense of competing for fourth place is still very high.

Sevilla, Levante, Valencia, Malaga, Atletico Madrid.

These five teams, at least for now, seem to be pretty good. As long as they don't suffer extensive injuries midway through the season, they all have a chance to eventually enter the top four.

However, two of the top four spots are almost naturally taken by Huang Sa, and in the end it looks like there will be a situation where five tigers are competing for two seats.

To talk about the intensity of the battle for fourth place, it is already comparable to the Premier League, which is currently in a slight decline.

And coupled with the combat effectiveness of Royal Sa, the current La Liga can be said to be the world's first league, the kind that is undisputed.

In the Champions League, the two strong Western Super League teams this season are also the favorites to win the championship, which has attracted much attention and discussion among fans.

Of course, such strong Real Madrid and Barcelona still have opponents.

One is that they entered the Champions League final in the 2009-10 season and lost again to Bayern Munich at the hands of defending champion Inter Milan last season.

The other one is, of course, Manchester United, which has reached the Champions League finals twice in the past three years.

Even though they have lost their sharpest offensive arrow, Ronaldo, under the leadership of Ferguson, Manchester United is still the dominant player in the Champions League.

In addition to being hostile to each other, fans of Real Madrid and Barcelona are most wary of these two clubs.

As for the other more old rivals, their lineups are aging, their leagues are declining, and they can no longer keep up with the top two of the Western Super League.

The decline of Serie A has made Milan and Juventus less competitive in the Champions League.

The newly emerging Naples seems to have good strength, but they have too little experience in the Champions League to worry about.

Dortmund in the Bundesliga is also good, but they have the same problem as Naples. They have only just emerged and have too little experience in the Champions League, so it is not a concern for the time being.

Ligue 1

Forget it, Ligue 1 will just pass by first.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about La Liga. One by one, Real Madrid and Barcelona have defeated opponents who don’t know how many times. Their performance in the Champions League is just like that.

The Premier League was very strong in the first few seasons, but to be honest, people have to accept old age, and the same applies to clubs.

Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal.

These clubs that have caused headaches for Real Madrid in the Champions League have either left their cores or their central axis has aged, and their combat effectiveness has seriously declined.

Until they get through the pain of rebuilding, they won't be much of a threat to the top two teams in the Western Premier League.

So after a round of calculation, Real Madrid and Barcelona really have few strong opponents in the Champions League.

As long as they don't meet Bayern or Manchester United in advance, this season's Champions League semi-finals will basically be these four teams in terms of strength.

Previously, Li Ang joked to reporters that he would advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, not just because he knew the original timeline.

It's also because the current European football world is indeed like this.

If Real Madrid doesn't commit suicide and Mourinho doesn't take measures, it will be "expected" that they will reach the semi-finals.

Because the opponents have become weaker, the weakness is visible to the naked eye, and the timing of Huang Sa's strong rise can be said to be perfect.

This would have to wait until the 2007-08 season, when Real Madrid would not be able to claim a guaranteed win against the top four in the Premier League.

At that time, if I had to play against Manchester United and Chelsea, I would have to shed a layer of skin!

Going forward, it’s even more uncomfortable.

At the peak of the Iron-Blooded Blues, Milan still has a strong presence, Arsenal has strong offensive firepower, and the old lady Juventus is very difficult to chew!

Look at these opponents and think about the names of the stars in these teams at that time. That was when European football was really lively.

However, the development law of football is like this. When a group of wealthy teams rise strongly, there will always be another group of wealthy teams that fall off the altar due to aging lineups or management problems.

The powerful Emperor Sha is at a juncture in the twilight of the gods.

As they climb to the top, more strong teams are heading towards silence or even sinking.

This is unfortunate for all fans, but lucky for Royal Sa fans.

At this point, the two teams of Royal Salvador and Salvador, which have risen strongly, have received most of the attention and traffic in football, which has further fed back their reinforcement and growth.

This is best reflected and illustrated in the ratings.

On October 17, the third round of the Champions League group stage resumed.

In this round of group matches, Barcelona played Pearson and Real Madrid played Lyon. Neither of them are popular games.

But on the night when the match between the two teams started, whether in Europe, the Americas or Asia, especially in East Asia, the ratings of the two teams' matches were much higher than those of other Champions League group matches at the same time.

After all, they are also playing against weak teams. Barcelona plays Pearson and Milan plays BATE Borisov. If you are a neutral fan, which game will you watch?

This comparison is a bit crude, but it is not crude, it is the fact.

In the game that night, the two top teams in the Western Premier League also firmly defeated their respective opponents again.

Barcelona defeated Pilsen 3-0 and completed the first round of the group stage. Relying on more bad goals, they won two and drew one, ranking first in the group.

Real Madrid's performance is to be stronger.

After all, Barcelona was playing only a Czech league team, and 3-0 was not a big score, so the fans dispersed after the game, and there was not much movement from the media from various countries.

But when Real Madrid cruelly gave Lyon a 5-0 rout, the noise suddenly became louder.

Why do you think Bayern tied with Naples, Chelsea swept Genk, and Dortmund suffered an upset loss to Olympiakos? Just wait a little bit and don't mess with it.

As soon as the game between Real Madrid and Lyon ended, the Bernabeu was shocked and boiling. The entire European football world, and even the world football world, also jumped twice!

Let’s not worry about whether Ligue 1 is still the fifth largest league in Europe and whether it has been officially surpassed by the Portuguese Super League.

Even if Lyon is a team from the sixth largest league in Europe, it is still ranked second in Ligue 1. Its strength is not bad, right?

But it was defeated by Real Madrid at the Bernabeu!

Ajax, on the other side of the Bundesliga, was still laughing at the end of halftime. After learning the result of the whole game, they were so frightened that they stopped laughing!

When De Boer watched Real Madrid beat Lyon 5-0 in the 67th minute of the game, his whole head was buzzing.

In the last round of relationships, Real Madrid really let off steam towards Ajax!

While calming down, De Boer also made up his mind to defend Real Madrid honestly in the next round.

The kind that defends from beginning to end, if you don't improve on the offensive end, you won't!

While almost all the French media were wailing, "L'Equipe" very calmly analyzed Real Madrid's current strength on both ends of the offense and defense overnight.

Lyon's lineup is really not bad, with Gomi at the forward and Gourcuff, Kjellström, and Fofana in the midfield.

There are Ali Sissoko and Lovren on the back line, and the goalkeeper position is still France's current national goalkeeper Lori!

Lyon's players just wanted to seize more initiative in the first half and set up a posture with Real Madrid to test the attack. Are they wrong?

That's right.

So in the end they were defeated.

"Real Madrid told Lyon with a perfect counterattack with almost no mistakes. When you don't accumulate heavy troops in the backcourt and invest a lot of energy in defense, you have already made a fatal mistake!

After Real Madrid broke the deadlock first, the powerful midfield three of Leon, Alonso and Las Diarra further taught Lyon's midfielders a lesson with countless successful interceptions and on-the-spot forward passes. .

Real Madrid seems to be slapping French football hard with its airtight defense, no-delay passing and efficient counterattack.

We are lagging behind, already far behind!

This is another outstanding 'work' by Mourinho. After a season of polishing, another dominant team may be about to declare their hegemony on the European continent.

We have officially entered an era called 'Emperor Sa'! "

As soon as this sharp piece of news from L'Equipe was published, it quickly aroused discussions among countless fans on the European continent.

But Li Ang, who only saw this report online the next afternoon, subconsciously shook his head.

The universe Bayern is coming soon, the "Emperor Sa" era?

Later generations have already made a conclusion.

This era belongs to "Emperor Saren"!
