Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"You know where you lost last time against him, right?"

"I know, his pace is too fast. If he really wants to explode with all his strength, it will be almost impossible to change direction. If I can't keep up, I can only follow him and eat dust."

"But you still managed to limit his scoring in the first round."

"That was because he was exhausted by me. At that time, he didn't know much about my defensive characteristics, so he didn't allocate his physical strength well in the first round."

"Then can you guarantee to limit his scoring or help his teammates score this time?"

"No, boss, no one can guarantee that Messi will be completely locked up now, but I will do my best to make him uncomfortable."

"A whole show?"

"A whole show!"

Mourinho sat on the chair in the office and finally nodded with satisfaction after hearing Li Ang's answer.

"Okay, you boy's mind is still clear, and what I want is your sobriety!"

"I understand what you mean. Don't worry. If I lose and the team wins, then I will win too!"

Li Ang could see Mourinho's worry that was different from his calm appearance at the moment, so he showed his determination to sacrifice without hesitation.

The main reason is that he can't do it if he doesn't show his determination. This shows that he is the only one in the Real Madrid team who can mark Messi.

Do you really expect Ras Diyala and Khedira to do this job?

Then Real Madrid can basically be prepared to be blown away by Messi and lose the ball.

Mourinho exhaled slowly, and finally looked at the slightly scrawled tactical book on the table, and suddenly smiled.

"Go and practice more. Remember to go home early and have a good rest. On December 10th, I want to see you in your best condition."

"good."

After giving a concise answer, Li Ang turned around and trotted out of Uncle Psy's office.

But three seconds later, he poked his head in again.

"Boss, you can actually be more confident. No one in football knows how to beat Barcelona better than you. We are not afraid of Barcelona at all. The advantage is entirely on our side!"

Mourinho looked at Li Ang's forehead as he came in. He smiled and rolled up the tactical book at hand to smash it.

Li Ang really turned around and ran away, running all the way out of the office building without looking back.

Mourinho spread out his tactical book, and after a while, he raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the tactical plan he had previously formulated.

"The little lion is right, the advantage is entirely on our side, and we must win this national derby!"

※※※

Before the Spanish national derby, the mouthpiece newspapers of the two giant clubs took the lead in launching a war of public opinion.

"World Sports News" lists Barcelona's absolute advantage over Real Madrid in the past three seasons.

Not to be outdone, "Marca" directly listed the results of Real Madrid's victory over Barcelona to win the Spanish Super Cup before the start of this season.

What's even more heartbreaking is that "Marca" made it clear that Barcelona is currently eleven points behind Real Madrid in La Liga.

Not long ago, when Real Madrid was pursuing its thirteenth consecutive victory at the beginning of the league, Barcelona lost 0-1 away to Getafe.

This defeat directly detonated the entire Western media!

While Real Madrid continued to put pressure on you, Barcelona couldn't hold back and even lost a game. You think you didn't fall behind enough in the first half of the league, right?

The current situation of the entire La Liga has become that after the fifteenth round of the league, Real Madrid leads the second-ranked Barcelona by as many as 11 points and is at the top of the list!

This is also the largest points difference recorded between Real Madrid and Barcelona after the first fifteen rounds of the league in the past ten years!

This is simply unimaginable and unacceptable for Barcelona, ​​which won the league and Champions League double last season.

Barcelona fans are particularly dissatisfied!

So they have a lot of obsession with defeating Real Madrid in direct dialogue.

This obsession and the momentum of public opinion put a huge psychological burden and pressure on the entire Barcelona team.

Winning has now become the basic requirement of fans for them. It is best to win beautifully and happily.

If you lose, the public opinion scene will

Barcelona players can no longer imagine it.

Fortunately, they rely on their past overwhelming record against Real Madrid, which gives them a lot of psychological confidence.

Pique was still in the mood to chat and laugh with reporters before the game, pretending that he was not worried about the outcome of the game at all.

How the Barcelona players discuss Real Madrid in private and how they train and prepare for the game is unknown to the outside world.

But looking at Pique's relaxed and confident posture, Barcelona fans are still relieved.

Real Madrid kept a low profile in preparing for the game until the end. No one was interviewed, and Real Madrid players only routinely posted cheering tweets on their respective social media.

On the morning of December 10, after the last tactical drill before the game, Mourinho also conducted a general mobilization on the training ground.

There was no pie-in-the-sky pie-in-the-sky approach, and there was no aggressive encouragement.

Mourinho actually listed the outcome of this round of El Clasico in front of every Real Madrid first-team player.

Win, they lead Barcelona by 14 points, lose, Barcelona will reduce the point difference between the two teams to eight points!

For Real Madrid, maybe even if they lose this game, it seems that the result will not be too bad. They still have enough fault tolerance to lead the league.

But for Barcelona, ​​the difference between winning and losing is basically the difference between hell and heaven.

And making Barcelona unhappy is naturally the greatest joy for Real Madrid!

Complete your revenge, win the league championship, and regain the La Liga throne!

The Real Madrid generals embarked on the journey of this battle with full confidence. They were more confident than before any derby match with Barcelona in the past three seasons!

In the evening, the Bernabeu venue was already packed early.

Amidst the noisy exchanges and discussions at the scene, the stand area near the entrance of the players' tunnel suddenly erupted into extremely strong cheers and boos!

Immediately afterwards, the entire Bernabeu scene became excited, and the players from the two teams entered the stadium and began to prepare for warm-ups!

He Wei, who was sitting in the live studio, was also excited.

He arrived in Madrid yesterday with Xu Yang and his colleagues in the film crew.

Radio 5 attaches great importance to this Spanish El Clasico and specially sent him and Xu Yang to the scene to provide live commentary.

As this is the first El Clasico that Li Ang has participated in in the league since returning to Real Madrid, there is no need to think about the ratings, it will definitely be so high that it will explode.

After all, with the example of the explosive ratings of the last Western Super Cup, Channel 5 is still very willing to pay for sending a commentary team abroad.

Even the live broadcast time this time is still a little inconvenient for fans in China.

Although it is much better than playing at two or three in the morning in the Champions League, the game starts at five in the morning, so most fans who are not used to getting up early have to force themselves to go to bed early the night before.

However, after going to bed early and getting up early, it was still a novel experience for the energetic fans.

In the past, I would stay up all night and wait for the game to start, but today I woke up just in time to watch the game.

This taste is quite good, but it is a pity that not every Spanish El Clasico is broadcast live at this point, otherwise it would barely be considered friendly to Chinese fans.

Channel 5 started broadcasting ten minutes early, and the video of the players warming up was shown for a while.

Afterwards, He Wei and Xu Yang appeared in the camera, greeting the domestic audience as frontline commentators.

At about this time, the DJ on the scene loudly called out the names of the Real Madrid players.

As soon as the live broadcast camera turned, domestic fans could clearly see the stars of the two teams from Real Madrid and Salvador coming out of the player tunnel!

In an instant, countless fans all over the world looked at these twenty-two people with burning eyes!

What is a card face?

In today's world football, the El Clasico and the Real Madrid battle are the biggest draws!

The combined value of the players from both teams is almost more than that of all the remaining La Liga teams, so it’s no wonder that fans always ridicule the top two of the Spanish Super League.

This is indeed a fact. The two top teams in the Western Premier League belong to another level, and they only regard each other as opponents.

At least that's the case now. The other La Liga teams are still not up to the level of competing with them.

Commentators from various countries are basically busy at this moment.

Players from both teams also lined up and began the pre-match ceremony.

The rest of the Real Madrid players were actually fine. After all, many of them were teammates of the national team, and they all smiled when shaking hands.

Even Messi and Ronaldo, two direct competitors, always interact with each other with a smile or a wink.

But when Messi and Li Ang shook hands, something was wrong with the style.

Li Ang still smiled happily, but the smile on Messi's face was very forced.

"See you later, Leo."

After a touching handshake, Li Ang quickly said something to Messi, but Messi quickly walked towards the next Real Madrid player as if he hadn't heard.

Li Ang didn't care either, grinning and looking at the next Barcelona player walking towards him.

The "interaction" episode between the two did not attract the attention of the live broadcast camera. At this moment, He Wei and Xu Yang were also busy introducing today's starting lineups of both teams, and they did not notice Li Ang's little move against Messi.

“Today, Real Madrid put together a starting lineup of four, two, three and one that is relatively balanced in offense and defense.

Goalkeeper No. 1 Casillas.

On the defense line are No. 12 Marcelo, No. 4 Ramos, No. 3 Pepe and No. 17 Arbeloa.

In the midfield, No. 10 Li Ang and No. 14 Alonso serve as double midfielders, No. 6 Khedira serves as central midfielder, and No. 7 Cristiano Ronaldo and No. 22 Di Maria serve as the left and right wings.

No. 9 Benzema burst forward. "

"Barcelona still chose to play the four-three-three formation they are most familiar with.

Goalkeeper No. 1 Valdes.

In the defense, there are No. 22 Abidal, No. 3 Pique, No. 5 Puyol, and No. 2 Alves.

In the midfield, No. 16 Busquets is behind, and No. 6 Xavi and No. 8 Iniesta form a double central midfielder.

No. 4 Fabregas was still pushed to the front line by Guardiola today, with No. 9 Sanchez and No. 10 Messi on his left and right wings. "

With Xu Yang's explanation, the formations and starting personnel on both sides clearly appeared in the minds of domestic fans.

Guardiola once again experimentally pushed Cesc Fabregas to the center position.

Well, in other words, it is not called a center, it can be regarded as a "forward midfielder".

Currently, only Guardiola can arrange this forward line. It does not require a fulcrum in the frontcourt and uses the technical advantages of the players to carry out rapid passing and cutting cooperation.

It can be seen that Guardiola really wants to maximize the power of passing and controlling tactics.

In comparison, Real Madrid's formation looks much more normal.

With two defensive midfielders and five midfielders, both sides can play defensively and counterattack, and Li Ang's position today is destined to face Messi again.

This is a very good point of view, and the live broadcast camera is also very good at hovering between Ronaldo and Messi, and then gives Li Ang two seconds of focus time.

And with the whistle of the referee on duty, the first El Clasico of 2011-2012 La Liga officially started!

Real Madrid, who took the first kick off, did not start the game like they did the last time they played Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. Instead, they took advantage of their midfielder's numerical advantage to steadily control the ball.

Barcelona started the game with high pressure as usual.

Messi was no exception and devoted his physical energy and energy in the opening stage to cooperate with his teammates to put pressure on Real Madrid's ball handler.

But today's game is different from before.

In the past two seasons, Barcelona's pressure on Alonso has achieved good results.

Long Ge's ability to escape independently is not enough, and he does not have another reliable midfield partner around him to help him share the organizational pressure. Obviously Guardiola has also pinched Real Madrid's backcourt organization.

But when Li Ang calmly took over the ball and boldly moved forward to get rid of Messi's defensive interference, Guardiola turned his head and looked at Mourinho in surprise.

"Does he really dare to let Li Ang bear organizational pressure in this kind of game?!"

Not only Guardiola, but commentators and fans from all over the world are also interested.

Fans who have watched previous La Liga games know that Li Ang does have pretty good organizational skills now.

But this is the Spanish El Clasico. To dare to trust Li Ang, a 20-year-old youngster, in such a game, I have to say that the Real Madrid coaching staff is really courageous!

Playing with the ball in the backcourt is different from playing in the frontcourt.

Once you make a mistake in the backcourt and lose the ball, Barcelona can launch their favorite offense after stealing the ball.

Real Madrid fans obviously knew the consequences of this situation, so they looked at Li Ang's figure with the ball with some concern.

Fortunately, Li Ang did not overdo it. After getting rid of Messi's pressing pressure this time, he only moved forward four or five meters, and conveniently passed the ball to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo who retreated to respond.

This time Barcelona's pressure in Real Madrid's half had no effect, and there was almost a disconnect between the forwards and the midfielders, so Iniesta did not dare to attack Ronaldo immediately.

He retreated decisively and waited for Harvey to come back to defend, so that if he attacked again, there would be at least one teammate beside him who could fill his position.

But he didn't expect Ronaldo to see that he didn't dare to press over to interfere with defense, so he immediately started the rush mode of rapid advancement!

Iniesta was no match for Ronaldo when it came to speed. Seeing that he was one step away and unable to catch up, Iniesta could only call Alves to directly attack.

But at this moment, Ronaldo suddenly chose a slightly backward pass!

An unexpected figure from Iniesta received a pass from Ronaldo in the rib area of ​​Barcelona's right half, and then made a short pass to the ground and transferred the ball to Barcelona's left!

This quick transfer caught Barcelona off guard. Di Maria, who received the ball, stopped and buckled to complete the inside cut. After getting out of the angle, he kicked off the ball and shot directly on the line of Barcelona's penalty area!

Valdes didn't dare to carelessly pick up the ball. After taking off with all his strength, he barely knocked the ball out of the small penalty area. Puyol directly kicked the ball to complete the clearance!

Di Maria held his head and looked at Barcelona's goal with regret, and then started to retreat without any delay.

At this moment, countless Barcelona fans were also shocked into a cold sweat!

Only now did the live broadcast camera focus on the Real Madrid player who had just stepped in to complete the quick ball transfer.

It's Li Ang!

"Oh! What a pity! Valdez was still very focused on the transfer ball from Li Ang!

In just the first minute of the game, Real Madrid fired their first threatening shot of the game. Real Madrid's offensive tactics today were very simple and fast!

Busquets needs to speed up, and this kind of defensive mistakes can't happen too many times. "

He Wei said this, but in his heart he wished that Busquets would make more mistakes in position selection and interception later.

At this moment, Real Madrid retreated quickly and did not give Barcelona any chance to counterattack.

Mourinho hoarded a lot of troops in the middle of the midfield today. Even Benzema followed and defended to the top area of ​​​​the center circle, just not easily giving Barcelona a chance to penetrate in the middle.

Cristiano Ronaldo has no objections to investing more energy in defense in today's game.

After all, he was playing Barcelona. He wanted to score goals, but he even wanted to win a game happily.

So from the wings to the center, Real Madrid relied on their solid positioning and the active running of the players to defend, and for a time they formed multiple strong defenses against Barcelona's ball-holding point.

Several Barcelona frontcourt attackers also felt something was wrong.

No matter how they involve Real Madrid's defense, as long as there is a tendency to move forward, it always feels like there are more Real Madrid players outflanking them than their teammates around them!

In this situation, they would be committing suicide if they continued to force the attack, and they had to choose to pass back to reorganize the offense.

Messi didn't have many chances to get the ball under Li Ang's close coverage. As a last resort, he could only start to frequently retreat to get the ball.

But in this way, Barcelona will fall into the same tactical dilemma as Real Madrid when they played in the Spanish Super Cup.

Real Madrid did not give up any ground in the midfield, held key positions, and actively double-teamed the defense, but did not take the initiative to attack.

This leads to the fact that although Barcelona has a high ball possession rate, it has few opportunities to penetrate Real Madrid's hinterland, and can only do a lot of meaningless ball control in its own half.

Messi also had to expend physical energy in advance to get the ball in the midfield or even the backcourt to help his teammates advance.

So Real Madrid's conspiracy was achieved.

Barcelona must use Messi's physical fitness in exchange for effective advancement and smooth offensive operation. After Barcelona launches the offensive, it depends on how Li Ang, the tactical chess piece, limits Messi.

Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief, but also looked at his own half nervously.

Messi got rid of Khedira's marking and started to speed up in the middle, and all the players in Barcelona's frontcourt also started to press forward decisively.

Li Ang rushed forward, but halfway through the rush, he started to retreat while maintaining a one-meter distance from Messi.

This scene looks very embarrassing, but Messi also really feels bad!

He had to slow down his dribbling speed slightly, thinking about how to get rid of this annoying guy in front of him.

But Real Madrid's retreat speed has far exceeded his expectations, and also exceeded the expectations of other Barcelona players.

When Messi saw this, he gritted his teeth and was about to attack. Li Ang also made a decisive move at this moment.

But Messi's pace is still too fast!

Li Ang was wiped clean again, but a sly smile appeared on his face.

Messi staggered slightly and shook off Li Ang with the ball, and then faced Xabi Alonso who decisively fell to the ground and shoveled!

Now even someone as strong as Messi would have difficulty making a second dodge reaction.

He jumped up helplessly, and the football was shoveled back to the middle of the midfield by Brother Long.

Khedira looked at the ball and didn't dare to take it by himself. There was Busquets watching behind him.

With his back stuck, looking at Li Ang who had already started to move forward and raised his hand to signal, Brother Face didn't think much and directly chose to pass the ball back!

And Li Ang's non-stop figure passed the midfield line almost instantly!

Busquets' speed was too slow. He didn't even use the foul action and could only bury his head and start chasing.

And Li Ang also hurriedly pushed the ball to Barcelona's left before Xavi committed a foul!

Angel Di Maria takes off with all his strength at this moment!

Guardiola was shocked and roared at his players to chase back quickly.

But is it so easy to stop Real Madrid's counterattack?

Abidal barely blocked Di Maria's cutting path, but at this moment, Di Maria didn't even think about cutting inside!

When he was about to get close to the left edge of Barcelona's penalty area, Di Maria suddenly smashed the ball to open up the kicking space.

Then he used his left foot to send a smooth cross directly towards the Barcelona goal!

Pique, who was retreating, had no time to move back. Puyol happened to stand still and take off, but was pinned down by a violent impact!

Ronaldo held his breath and shook his head vigorously towards the ball when the fleeting opportunity arrived!

Valdes waved his arms in a panic, but he touched nothing but air!

The football passed by his fingertips, crossed the line, and entered the net. There was no suspense, no suspense!

"Beep!"

The referee on duty saw the football hitting the net and pointed to the kick-off point without any hesitation!

At this moment, the Bernabeu stadium burst into cheers and screams!

"Di Maria crosses the ball! Cristiano Ronaldo from behind -!!! Oh -!!! The ball goes in! The ball goes in!!! Cristiano Ronaldo beats Puyol and heads the ball into the Barcelona goal! Real Madrid is in The home team took the lead!”

He Wei's voice completely overwhelmed Xu Yang at this moment, and he raised his arms and shouted in the live studio with great passion!

There were many on-site commentators who made the same move as him.

This lightning-fast counterattack that is exclusive to Real Madrid was so decisive, so sharp, and so exciting!

Less than ten seconds!

From the moment Alonso intercepted the ball and launched a counterattack to the final goal, Real Madrid advanced nearly 60 meters, but it took less than ten seconds!

The scene at the Bernabeu has gone completely crazy!

Mourinho kept roaring and punching on the sidelines, his ferocious face full of pride and confidence!

This is his team, the Mourinho-style Real Madrid he spent more than a year building!

At this moment, Li Ang, who was roaring and hugging Ronaldo and others, also raised his arms high and continued to roar at Real Madrid's South Stand!

Look!

There was a time when Barcelona dominated La Liga.

It's time to get over it!

I read it twice myself and felt that the previous manuscript was a bit unsatisfactory.

So I added another thousand words.

Well, I feel comfortable now.
