Chapter 139 Farewell to Jia Mansion, Familiar Taste, Familiar Beginning
"I guess that in the near future, Li Ang will not be able to get the ball easily in this position. Hehe, Li Ang may not even think about shooting, but other teams dare not take this gamble. The experience of Rayo Vallecano has caused these Granada players to overreact."
"Hey, Coach Zhang, do you think it is possible that Li Ang deliberately moved to this area in this attack?"
"It is possible. Xiao Li has a quick mind. Maybe he really wants to let Granada's defenders press out and create better forward opportunities for Morata."
In the studio, He Wei and Coach Zhang, who were relaxed, quickly imagined Li Ang's thoughts during this attack.
Good guy, it's almost like describing Li Ang as a genius who can come up with three or four offensive plans in just a few seconds.
In fact, Li Ang was more of an improvisation at the time.
If Granada's defenders didn't press out first, he might pass the ball back to the right side and let Carvajal, who was inserted, kick the ball and cross it.
However, He Wei was right about one thing, that is, Li Ang was indeed very familiar with the playing styles of his teammates on the field.
After the fleeting offensive opportunity came out, Li Ang delivered a high ball to Morata.
If it was Callejon, he would have made a ground pass with enough lead time.
Morata, you should create as comfortable a space for him to jump forward as possible.
In terms of heading after running, this kid can now be ranked in the top five of Real Madrid.
It is true that he has put all his finishing talent on his head.
"Hold on for the remaining time, and we will try to score more goals in the second half. Jose (Callejon), when we defend the center line later, you don't have to retreat too much, and move a little forward. If there is a good counterattack opportunity, I will pass the ball to you as soon as possible."
After celebrating for a while, Li Ang clapped his hands and called all his teammates around him to remind them of the subsequent tactical play.
This is not his own decision, Mourinho formulated this style of play before the game.
It's just that Li Ang now takes the initiative to take on the role of reminding his teammates at all times.
Modric still feels fresh when watching this scene.
When he played with Li Ang and the main players before, there were several players on the field who did this job.
Ronaldo, Alonso, and Ramos would always remind and encourage their teammates.
At that time, Li Ang would also add a few words, and would shout to remind his teammates when defending, but it is completely different from now.
Looking at the young Real Madrid players around who were listening to Li Ang's instructions seriously, Modric suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Leader on the field"
Yes, compared to Casillas, who was wearing the captain's armband and also started at the moment, Li Ang's performance was actually more like a leader on the field.
After returning to his own half, Modric looked at Casillas who seemed to be accustomed to it and didn't think there was anything wrong.
In his heart, he had a new understanding of Li Ang's status in the Real Madrid team.
Li Ang didn't notice the thoughtful look in Modric's eyes.
He organized the interception defense in the midfield and protected his own defense line well in the last few minutes of the first half.
When the referee blew the whistle for the halftime break, Albiol looked relaxed and happy to celebrate with Li Ang.
Varane also smiled shyly and scratched the back of his head under Li Ang's active encouragement.
It's no wonder that the defensive players in Real Madrid like Li Ang now.
After all, no one can refuse a teammate who can help you intercept and defend forward.
A teammate who can help you cover and wipe your ass when you retreat, and always praises you for doing a good job.
The score of 1-0 in the first half was enough for Real Madrid, who rotated today, at least it met Mourinho's pre-match expectations.
In the second half, Real Madrid still focused on stability. Granada's offensive level is the same as their current league ranking. If Real Madrid pays more attention, there will be no trouble in the defense.
Although the fans at home were somewhat unhappy, Mourinho remained unmoved and still insisted on his tactical plan.
If you can beat a weak team with less consumption, you should not make more unnecessary risky attacks just for the sake of a good look.
After the 70th minute of the second half, it was seen that several offensive players today were not so lucky in finishing.
Mourinho simply waved his hand, removed Vazquez, replaced Nacho, and let him play three defensive midfielders with Leon and Matuidi.
In the 82nd minute, Mourinho replaced Callejon with Essien.
There were sporadic boos at the Bernabeu again.
Even if Real Madrid won this round of make-up match at home, the current points have reached 15 points, tying Barcelona.
But it is obvious that Real Madrid fans are dissatisfied with Mourinho's tactics.
Mourinho did not show any ugly expression on his face. He was still very calm. In the press conference after the game, he also said that he would consider the fans' wishes more after ensuring the results.
But this still could not stop the major Spanish media from reporting the boos at the Bernabeu the next day.
Li Ang and a group of Real Madrid players certainly couldn't ignore such public opinion.
But what made them speechless was.
It's fine that "Daily Sports" came out to lead the way at this time, but why are "Marca" and "AS" also fanning the flames?
At this time, shouldn't these two pro-Real Madrid media first denounce the outside world's provocative voices?
Li Ang really can't figure out the brain circuits of these media.
Fortunately, Real Madrid's coaching team did not lose their composure because of this incident.
Karanka and other coaches still stood firmly on Mourinho's side, and the club level was the first to speak out in public relations.
It not only expressed understanding of the fans' demands, but also expressed protection for the head coach.
This public opinion storm seemed to take a turn when it was about to sweep Real Madrid.
At least the preparations for the Real Madrid team are going on as usual.
On the other side, the Real Madrid fan group was also very restrained and did not express further dissatisfaction with Mourinho.
Mourinho's initiative to give in and remain silent made public opinion lose the opportunity to boil over completely.
And with Real Madrid's current record, the outside world can't force him to find fault.
Of course, the old man will not allow anyone to jump out and mess up Real Madrid at this time.
Real Madrid is currently one Club World Cup away from the annual six-time champion, and this season they have to strive to defend the league and Champions League.
If this will cause a big conflict between the head coach and the fan group, neither he nor Real Madrid will benefit at all.
Inside and outside the club, stability must be maintained at this time, even if it is only on the surface.
The old man made a decision and asked Sanchez to call Mourinho directly. After the reassurance was given, Mourinho was completely relieved.
It happened that the main players had a round of rest, and the next league game was against the newly promoted La Coruña. Mourinho simply formulated a slightly radical tactical plan.
Before the game, Li Ang was very happy to hug and greet Belleron who returned to La Liga.
Unfortunately, Belleron sat on the bench today and didn't get a chance to start.
Li Ang didn't get a chance to play against Belleron. From the first minute of the game to the 73rd minute when he was substituted, he didn't get a chance to play against Belleron.
This was a very regrettable encounter for both him and Belleron.
And Deportivo La Coruna was beaten 6-0 in the first match against Real Madrid after returning to La Liga!
This was the score when Deportivo goalkeeper Alanzubia performed well today.
When scoring after the game, all the defenders on the Deportivo La Coruna side scored below 6.5 points, and the right back Pablo, who was broken by Ronaldo, even had a score of only 4.7.
Only Alanzubia scored 7.7!
A goalkeeper who lost six goals can still get such a high score
Real Madrid's offensive desire and offensive firepower today can be seen.
Ronaldo, who performed a hat trick, became the protagonist of the game that night.
Real Madrid also relied on the advantage of more goal difference to surpass Barcelona, which had a difficult 3-2 victory over Sevilla in this round of the league, and topped the La Liga again!
The two Spanish Super League teams have both won six consecutive games at the beginning of the new season. The fierce competition instantly attracted the attention of countless fans of other leagues.
After all, looking at the four major European leagues, apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona, only Bayern Munich has maintained a winning streak at the beginning of the new season.
In the Premier League, Chelsea started with five wins and one draw, and is in good form, suppressing the two Manchester City giants.
Juventus in Serie A is the only one, and it is also the best in the Apennines with a record of five wins and one draw.
Outside the four major leagues, Paris Saint-Germain, which was originally the focus of the new season, only won three wins and three draws at the beginning.
Compared with their investment in the summer window, this performance can only be said to be lame, quite lame!
Marseille, which started with five wins and one draw, is currently at the top of the French Ligue 1, but their record has not attracted much attention from the media and fans.
Now the football world is paying attention to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Rennes, wanting to see which team among them can get the longest league start winning streak this season.
After the sixth round of the league battles came to an end, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Rennes also received the most attention in the second round of the Champions League group stage that is about to start.
On the evening of October 2, Bayern and Barcelona took the lead, and their respective opponents were Borisov and Benfica.
Barcelona was relatively stable. After Messi attracted a lot of defensive attention from Benfica, Sanchez and Fabregas each scored a goal, and Barcelona finally won another group victory 2-0.
But Bayern was outrageous.
Borisov's away game is not easy to play, but no one expected that Bayern did not even get a point this time.
1-3!
Bayern, with all its main players, lost cleanly at Borisov's home ground!
After the first two rounds of the Champions League Group F, it was not Bayern or Valencia that led the table.
It was Borisov, who was recognized as the underdog in Group F before the start of the season!
Borisov gave all the Champions League fans a big surprise by defeating Lille 2-0 in the first round and Bayern 3-1 in the second round!
The next day, the front page headlines of mainstream sports media in Europe were all about Borisov, who created a miracle in the record.
Countless fans exclaimed that the biggest dark horse in this season's Champions League is coming.
And Borisov's inspirational results in the first two rounds of the group stage also gave other weak teams in the group a lot of hope.
For example, Ajax played against Real Madrid at home on the evening of October 3.
The experience of being defeated by Dortmund with a goal at the last moment of the first round made Ajax players very painful.
But correspondingly, they also gained a lot of self-confidence after that game.
After all, before the game, almost no media was optimistic that they could play with Dortmund.
The performance of once competing with the Hornets at the Westfalen Stadium has given the young players of Jiafu more ambition.
They almost got points in away games, and they are at home in this game, which does not mean they have no chance to get points from Real Madrid.
Young players dare to think about this goal, and when it comes to the game, they are particularly active and a little bit reckless.
After Li Ang greeted De Boer enthusiastically before the game, he looked around and found that there were fewer "familiar faces" in Ajax's lineup.
For example, Vertonghen and Van der Wiel, who performed quite well when the two teams met last season.
In addition, some players who played the main force last season have been replaced by younger players this season.
This is how Ajax survives now. Players who have performed well are wanted by big clubs. They often do not choose to keep the players by force, but try to sell them at a good price.
And cultivating better young players is related to their fiscal revenue for the next season or even the next season.
Therefore, it is difficult for De Boer to have a main lineup that can play for two or three consecutive seasons.
These newly replaced young players have never fought against Real Madrid before, so they naturally don’t have too much pressure in their hearts.
On the contrary, they have more ambition and motivation to play a brilliant personal performance in the match against Real Madrid.
After all, such a stage is the best springboard for them to run to the four major league clubs. There are only a few performance opportunities a year. If you miss one, you have to endure another year!
As one of the most sober-minded members, Eriksson does not have too much personal performance desire at this moment.
On the one hand, he has no shortage of attention from big clubs, and on the other hand, he clearly understands how powerful the enemy they are facing today is.
After the game started, the sense of oppression he felt last year quickly enveloped Eriksson's heart again.
He looked at Li Ang, who was actively pressing forward with his teammates, and he couldn't help but feel that Li Ang's growth rate was too fast.
When they first met last year, Li Ang was more responsible for defensive tasks in Real Madrid's backcourt.
But after a year, Li Ang has won five championships with the team and developed a lot of offensive skills.
At this time, Li Ang seemed to feel Eriksson's gaze, and he turned his head and grinned at this "old acquaintance".
"It's a pity that I played as a left midfielder today and didn't play against El Shaarawy, otherwise I would have talked to him more."
While regretting in his heart, Li Ang's action of receiving Benzema's pass back was not slow at all.
At this time, Ajax's right forward Sana was very active in intercepting Li Ang.
Li Ang saw that he was not in a hurry to lead the ball and run immediately. Instead, he slowed down the speed of advancement and deliberately waited for Sana.
Sana, who didn't know why, was overjoyed and hurriedly approached to try to break the ball under Li Ang's feet.
But Li Ang, who was tense, burst forward in an instant, bounced Sana away, and made the Ajax defense line, which was slightly relaxed before, a little chaotic!
De Boer didn't know how to scold Sana at this time.
You, a 1.72-meter-tall little forward, are going to steal the opponent's tall defensive midfielder?
He was a beat slower, which obviously meant he had other intentions. He also disrupted his own defense and stupidly ran into him. He really wanted to show off!
Eriksson had no choice but to let go of his own defense zone and turn to chase Li Ang.
He couldn't let Li Ang put too much defensive pressure on his own single defensive midfielder, Poulsen.
However, when he put the ball in position, Li Ang was not polite. Before he was about to face double-teaming, he passed the ball horizontally to Modric, who had already entered the Ajax defense zone.
Modric, who was less guarded, ran straight to the right side of the Ajax penalty area with the ball.
Blind had no choice but to move inward to block Modric's route to continue moving forward.
Modric was satisfied with the split at this time. He continued to start as a right back today. At this moment, Essien, who was almost unguarded, cut inside and easily passed the ball!
Benzema and Callejon had the same idea and ran straight to the front of the goal. Li Ang followed in the middle and jumped high!
Alderweireld had almost no time to observe and judge, and was forced to limit Li Ang's header.
However, the football finally flew over the two entangled figures and began to fall in the area behind the goal!
The 1.83-meter Ajax right-back Van Rijn was confident that he could grab a point at first.
But half a second after he jumped, a figure that almost escaped gravity filled his heart with deep helplessness and despair!
This is too high! ! !
"C Ronaldo is taking off--!!!"
Duan Xuan, who was commentating on this Champions League match today, also let himself go at this moment, staring at Ronaldo's almost stagnant figure in the air with amazement!
Time did not really stop, and Ronaldo did not let the fans wait too long for cheers.
After completing the header without suspense, the Portuguese king almost did not completely confirm whether the football had crossed the line, and he opened his arms and raised his head and roared towards the stands where Real Madrid fans gathered!
Amid the passionate cheers of more than 7,000 Real Madrid fans, most of the Ajax players on the field were stunned.
At this time, only Alderweireld, Siem de Jong and Eriksen were barely able to keep their heads clear.
De Boer looked at this familiar start and didn't know how to describe the fucked-up feeling in his brain at the moment.
In the past two years, Ajax has lost the ball first in four consecutive games against Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage. Including today's game, it's five consecutive games!
Whether it's an active attack or a half-court squat, which they are not very good at, Ajax is the one that is suppressed and besieged.
There is really no way to deal with Real Madrid!
Real Madrid fans are smiling at this moment.
This familiar Champions League opponent and the opening rhythm are just right!
This is the taste of another big win!
Big guys, the foodie's head is still hot and cold at this moment, and the throat hurts badly.
I don't know if it's really so unlucky to be positive again.
I haven't stopped writing much today, and I've only finished this chapter. I'll continue writing slowly for a while.
If I feel this bad again tomorrow, I'll go to the hospital.
I really can't stand it anymore
