Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid
Chapter 93 Real Madrid’s AB team comes out ahead of schedule, the core midfielder of team B, Li Ang!
Real Madrid's celebration this time was not as passionate as when they took a 2-0 lead.
Perhaps it was because Messi's previous assist to Villa's goal made the entire Real Madrid team too vigilant and calm.
Or maybe it was at 2-0 that Real Madrid's players had overdrawn their happiness and passion in advance.
When the victory was sealed 3-1, Real Madrid fans and players felt more relaxed and at ease.
And with this sense of security, they shouted "defense" together, tired and energetic at this moment.
Yes, Real Madrid fans took the initiative to ask the team to defend at the Bernabeu.
If they hadn't witnessed this scene with their own eyes at the Bernabeu, the reporters from the Western media would never have dared that such a scene would happen to Real Madrid fans.
But it’s actually easy to understand.
Afraid of losing.
In recent years, Real Madrid is really afraid of losing to Barcelona, which has complete control over the upload.
Especially when they lost to Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals last year, that cruel shame will be unforgettable for all Real Madrid fans!
So at this moment, at the last moment when Real Madrid is about to win the El Clasico.
Real Madrid fans issued the most realistic cry, they don't want any suspense, they want to win Barcelona steadily!
Mourinho felt real relief at this moment.
It doesn't matter whether the home fans at the Bernabeu will boo in the future just because the team's offense is not good.
At least at this moment, this group of fans completely stood behind Mourinho and the Real Madrid players.
As a result, fouls occurred frequently, and the offensive and defensive battle became increasingly fierce in the remaining ten minutes.
Both sides have no reservations, and both have the responsibility and meaning to try their best.
Arbeloa and Di Maria both suffered leg cramps and were eventually replaced when they couldn't hold on any longer.
The Barcelona players were very dissatisfied, thinking that the two were stalling for time, and appealed to the referee that the stoppage time should be extended.
Ramos was annoyed and argued with his hands behind his back. As a result, the players on both sides immediately surrounded the referee with words.
Guardiola sat on the coaching bench and everyone looked numb.
He can understand the unhappiness and depression in the hearts of his players.
But for their current behavior of actively wasting time, Guardiola just wanted to say "stupid".
After watching the final farce, the fans on both sides didn't wait long before the final whistle sounded in completely different moods!
Li Ang once again almost completely exhausted his physical strength and energy on the field.
So when the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game, he subconsciously squatted on the turf.
Relaxing, feeling the soreness of the muscles that were no longer controlled after exhaustion, he subconsciously roared twice, then raised his head and lay down comfortably with the word "big".
How many kilometers did he run in this race?
Fourteen or fifteen?
Li Ang couldn't estimate it, so he didn't bother to calculate it in the end.
Like a normal game, it would be no problem for him to run like this once in a while, and he wouldn't be so tired.
But in today's game, he followed Messi and made too many repeated sprints. During this period, he had to wipe Ma Pengpeng's butt and fill in for other teammates.
Watching Messi and having to do other defensive work, isn't that tiring?
Li Ang only felt that what little physical energy he had left was drained away at the end of the game.
In the noisy environment, he originally wanted to stop talking for two or three minutes and then talk.
But a hand patted on his shoulder forced him to end his break early.
Well, there was also that voice full of complex emotions that he didn't expect.
"Are you okay? Do you want your team doctor to come over and take a look first?"
Li Ang opened his eyes and saw Messi sitting next to him with his legs crossed and figureless.
The other person's medium-long hair was almost soaked, and his eyes couldn't hide his fatigue, which seemed to be filled with even more depression and helplessness.
"Ah? I'm okay, okay. You haven't left yet. Leo, do you want to exchange jerseys with me?"
Li Ang didn't bother to get up and talk to Messi anymore, so he grinned and made a joke.
But what he didn't expect was that Messi pondered for a moment and finally nodded in agreement!
However, Li Ang was not pretentious. He forced himself to half sit up, and finally took off his jersey smoothly.
Messi's jersey for the 11-12 season. Why doesn't he change it when he has the chance?
This season, he had already asked for one of Ronaldo's jerseys in a previous game, and now he also got Messi's jersey. When he returned, he framed the two jerseys and hung them together on his bedroom wall.
This is the final version of Melo's peak season jersey. If you have anything to do in the future, take a photo and post it on sports forums. You will definitely be envied by others!
Messi looked at Li Ang looking at his jersey with a satisfied look, and felt inexplicably comfortable.
"You played very well this time, but our preparations are indeed not sufficient. We will meet again next time."
"Next time we meet again, you will definitely find your place at the Nou Camp, right? I understand, I understand. You should be gentle when the time comes. I have already lost two games to you. I really can't stand it anymore!"
"But you won, my team didn't win, so what's the use if I win?"
"At least the media will say that you can leave the Santiago Bernabeu with your head held high. You see, you are at least safe in terms of public opinion."
When Messi heard that Li Ang started talking nonsense again, he laughed and shook his head, and finally gave Li Ang a slap on the back.
"gone!"
"See you next time at Camp Nou."
Messi hung Li Ang's jersey on his shoulders, stopped responding to Li Ang, and walked into the player tunnel without looking back.
Li Ang also lay back on the turf again.
He closed his eyes comfortably.
※※※
The Western media was satisfied. This round of El Clasico was good enough to watch and the game was exciting enough.
Before the game, Real Madrid's atmosphere of revenge was directly heightened by their publicity.
As a result, Real Madrid did not let up the chain, and finally defeated Barcelona very impressively. This is simply excellent reporting material!
And just when outside public opinion was vigorously promoting Real Madrid's "Return of the King".
Real Madrid's coaching staff is having a headache over the report handed in by the team doctor.
Mourinho had already anticipated this situation, so it was quite calm.
"Angel (Di María) and Alvaro (Abeloa) will have to rest for at least two to three days before conducting restorative training and physical therapy. According to preliminary estimates, they will not be able to compete in the next Copa del Rey game and the following games. He couldn't play in a round of the league.
Sami (Khedira) has some discomfort in his thigh muscles, but it is not a big problem. However, the team doctor suggested that he should try not to play in the past week and do physical therapy first.
In addition, Xavi (Alonso) and Pepe’s physical condition is not particularly good.”
After listening to Karanka's summary of the physical examination report given by the team doctor, Mourinho felt confident.
Today is the day after the victory over Barcelona. Most of the Real Madrid first-team players who have finished their day and a half holiday will resume daily training this afternoon.
It's not that Mourinho doesn't want to give them more rest time.
The main reason is that the Copa del Rey game is here. Tomorrow they have to go away to play the fourth round of the Copa del Rey against Ponferradina Club in Segunda B.
The opponent is not strong, but it is impossible for Mourinho to mobilize Castilla's youth training players to directly play in this round of the Copa del Rey.
After all, Ponferradina and the current Castilla are also teams of the same league level.
If the game ends with a draw, it will be fine. If it loses, the storm of public opinion will be enough to bother Mourinho for a while.
"Let's use the plan we planned before, and select the most suitable rotation substitute players. We will form them into a new team that will work better together."
Mourinho has made up his mind that when the third-line battle officially begins, he needs a rotating team to compete in the Copa del Rey and some insignificant league games.
In this way, Real Madrid's main players can get more adequate rest time.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, when all the Real Madrid first-team players who could go to the training ground today were assembled, Mourinho and Karanka also officially started their plan.
It is more than enough for Adan to start as the goalkeeper in the second team.
Varane, Nacho, Albiol, who returned from injury, and Carvajal formed the new defense line.
Among them, Carvajal went to the left and played as a left back.
The main reason is that Coentrao was injured some time ago, and the main left back is counting on Marcelo to support him. Mourinho can only try to transform Carvajal first.
In the midfield, Li Ang, Las Diarra, Granero and Kaká became a new four-man combination.
In the diamond-shaped midfield position, Li Ang dragged behind, Granero and Las Diarra were on both sides, and Kaká served as the attacking midfielder.
The two forwards are naturally Morata and Callejon.
Among them, Morata can hold the ball from the side, and Callejon can play on both sides. The two of them can frequently switch positions during the game to involve the opponent's defense.
Of course, this is only a preliminary lineup composition, because Khedira's physical condition is not "stable", so Kaká may return to the main starting lineup at any time.
At that time, this rotation lineup may change from 4,42 to 4,33, and Vazquez will replace Kaká.
In the training that afternoon, the eleven Real Madrid rotation players who formed the new team also began to quickly adjust.
Well, Li Ang is an exception.
He is the main player, and he also spent a lot of energy in the battle with Barcelona.
But who made him use the physical recovery potion after the game against Barcelona?
He was in the best condition during the physical examination of the entire Real Madrid team. It would be strange if Mourinho didn't pull him to continue to be a beast.
With Kaká transforming and Granero adapting to his new position, the late-lying Li Ang naturally became the core organizer in this rotation.
The old problems of Las Diarra and Brother Face seemed to be incurable, so Mourinho simply allowed him to temporarily play a tactical role in holding the ball forward in the rotation.
As long as the work is done on the defensive end first, if the offensive end drags on a little longer, just delay a little longer.
Anyway, when Las Diarra starts, Real Madrid's opponents won't be that strong.
Moreover, isn't this the time when the winter window is about to open? Let Rasdiarra produce good data, and it will be easier to sell at a high price, cough.
Unaware of this, Ras Diarra was still happy that Uncle Psy "valued" him.
But Li Ang, who had known the signs for a long time, could only send farewell wishes to his teammate in advance.
On the evening of December 13, Real Madrid launched a new lineup in which all the starting players except Li Ang were rotated and substituted, and officially debuted at the home court of Ponferradina.
This home stadium is the smallest professional stadium that Li Ang has ever seen. It can only seat more than 8,000 people.
However, the fans of Ponferradina were quite enthusiastic. When the players of Ponferradina and Real Madrid players appeared together, they only cheered and almost never booed.
But it’s understandable.
Ponferradina was able to advance to the fourth round of the Copa del Rey and play two games against Real Madrid, which is already very lucky for their fans.
Real Madrid's newly formed rotation team has no major problems with coordination. Even if there are sometimes small mistakes, the overall offensive and defensive operation is still very smooth.
Li Ang is becoming more and more proficient in sorting out the ball in the backcourt. He can't talk about it freely, but he has performed what he should have done.
At least in the face of the result of 2-0 Ponferradina at halftime, it can be said that there is no problem with Li Ang's organization and scheduling, and Mourinho is also relieved.
Vazquez came on as a substitute in the second half, replacing Kaka who scored a goal in the first half.
Real Madrid also changed to a four-three-three formation, with Vazquez, Morata, and Callejon forming an offensive trident.
With Real Madrid's midfield having an absolute advantage, Vazquez finally succeeded in the 73rd minute of the second half. The inverted triangle helped Morata score the goal that sealed the victory.
3-0
Real Madrid finally ended the first leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey with a solid victory.
But in terms of public opinion, the result of this game was not discussed by many non-Real Madrid fans.
Li Ang's another stable performance in the deep-lying organization did not surprise the media.
After all, Li Ang had already singled out the leader once in the league before, and he performed quite well at that time.
After all, this time we played a Segunda B team. From the outside, Real Madrid deserved to win. Some even thought Real Madrid scored too few goals.
Only a small number of media people captured some key information through Mourinho's formation in this game.
They were hesitant at first, unable to confirm their suspicions, fearing that Mourinho just happened to come up with such a formation that basically had no main players starting.
But on the evening of December 17, when Real Madrid once again arranged this new starting lineup to face Granada, the media people instantly confirmed their previous guesses.
"Mourinho is going to split Real Madrid's first team into 'Team AB' to fight on three fronts! Team A will fight tough games and the Champions League, while Team B will fight against less strong opponents in the Copa del Rey and the league!"
"Li Ang is really an iron man! After playing the main team's games, he still has to be the core midfielder in the rotation team. This physical fitness is so outstanding!"
"The Real Madrid coaching staff has a good idea, but there are too many young players in their 'B team'. Are they really qualified for such an important tactical task?"
"Let's see. Granada is a relegation team now. Let's see if Real Madrid will fall into trouble with Granada!"
Before the game started, the Western media and countless La Liga fans who learned about Real Madrid's starting lineup were immediately interested in discussing it.
Many fans who have no dealings with Real Madrid also plan to watch and have fun.
It would be funny if Real Madrid used rotation today but lost to Granada and ended their winning streak.
At 9pm Spanish time, Real Madrid’s away game against Granada started on time.
Violent cheers erupted in the Camenes Stadium, and Granada's players were very excited to launch an offensive against Real Madrid's new midfield combination.
If Real Madrid's main starting lineup was played today, Granada would never dare to be so aggressive in grabbing the opening rhythm.
But Granada still has the courage to take the initiative to suppress Real Madrid's almost pure rotation lineup, and it's very big!
After all, in the eyes of the outside world, this Real Madrid lineup is almost purely composed of rotation players. Let’s not talk about whether there are any problems with running-in. There are really too many young players in the front and backcourt.
Granada is still fighting for points and relegation. If you get the chance, you will definitely have to pounce on it and take a few bites.
If they get three points by surprise, if not, then they should defend honestly and try to save one point. No matter how you look at it, it won't be a loss.
But just when they were trying to fly past Real Madrid's midfield with a high ball and directly find trouble with a group of young people in Real Madrid's defense, Albiol took action.
He spent almost the first half of the season recuperating and receiving physical therapy, but he has now gotten rid of the troubles of injuries.
In terms of strength, he has been Real Madrid's absolute main force in the past few seasons, and currently he can't compete with Pepe and Ramos.
How can these Granada forwards be so successful?
There was no suspense in the goal, and Albiol headed the ball back to the midfield.
Granero responded with a header, and Li Ang held the ball, and then dribbled the ball laterally to get rid of Granada striker Ighalo's press, and then split the side to allow Callejon to counterattack.
Real Madrid did a good job in defusing Granada's opening strategy. Not only did they not give Granada any chance, but they also took advantage of the situation and launched a quick counterattack that they are most familiar with.
Without Alonso's long pass, Real Madrid's counterattack lacked a lot of sharpness than usual.
But for Granada, the counterattack was still too fast.
Callejon's first advance in the opening game almost passed through to help Morata's header threaten the goal guarded by Roberto.
But Granada was still in shock. Four minutes later, Nacho's successful defensive interception on the wing gave Real Madrid another chance to counterattack quickly!
Li Ang didn't take the ball any further this time. He shot directly behind Granada's defense and sent a long pass.
The accuracy is still not particularly good, but the ball speed is fast enough and the amount of advance provided is sufficient.
Morata, who successfully started the anti-offside attack, quickly made a half-single shot while running without the ball!
However, this kid still lacked self-confidence. Seeing that Granada's defensive players had the opportunity to interfere with his shot, he chose to pass the ball at the last moment.
Kaka received a cross pass from Morata in the penalty area. There was nothing to hesitate. He shot from the far corner and opened the scoring for Real Madrid!
This will be less than six minutes before the game starts!
But Real Madrid took the lead so easily!
Granada's home fans were stunned by this result, as if they couldn't believe it at all.
This TM is actually Real Madrid’s rotation lineup?
Why do they feel like they are facing a tough team in the middle and upper reaches of La Liga!
Kaka hugged Morata in the frontcourt to celebrate, but most reporters on the sidelines immediately turned their attention to Li Ang, who was standing near the center circle.
This guy hit the core and really succeeded!
