Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 399
c392 The old man is more determined to buy back Li Ang
“The game is over, the game is over! Congratulations to Chelsea! They have made it to the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons! Whether they can win the Champions League again this season, they have already written a new record in the team’s history!
At the same time, we also hope that Atletico’s players will not be discouraged. They lost today’s match and lost the chance to enter the Champions League final, but their future is still extremely bright!
In recent seasons, we have seen the tenacious spirit and tenacious style of play in Atletico.
Maybe they really just lack a little luck. Fortunately, most of the main players in their team are still very young. In football, youth is the biggest asset!
So there is no need to be depressed, believe in yourself, pick up your mood, and come back next year!”
In the live broadcast room of LeTV Sports, Zhan Jun suppressed the excitement of wanting to cheer out loud and read out the script he had prepared long ago.
While congratulating Chelsea first, he also appeased and praised Atletico, leaving personal emotions to vent privately, and trying to be impartial in the face of the public. This style is very Zhan Jun.
At this moment, Coach Zhang, who was sitting next to him, was smiling as he watched Li Ang hugging and laughing with his teammates in the live broadcast.
They had praised Li Ang too many times when commenting on the game.
Now Coach Zhang just laughed twice outside the camera, and the Chinese fans subconsciously remembered the scene of Coach Zhang staring at Li Ang and praising him.
But at this moment, Coach Zhang was thinking more about what position Li Ang would rise to in the football world if he successfully defended the Champions League again this year?
You know, after leading Chelsea to the top of the Champions League last season, Li Ang, like Ronaldo and Messi, became the player with the most Champions League titles in active service.
And compared to Messi’s first Champions League title, which was questioned by fans from all walks of life, Li Ang, like Ronaldo, participated in the three Champions League trophies in his hands and won them as an absolute main force.
Previously, when fans discussed the Champions League, they always couldn’t avoid Ronaldo, Li Ang and Messi, the three mountains pressing on other stars.
But if Li Ang leads the team to the top of the Champions League again as the core of the team this summer, he will leave behind Ronaldo and Messi and become the only superstar who has won four Champions League trophies!
Such an achievement is not enough for Li Ang to directly surpass Messi and Ronaldo and become the undisputed number one in today’s football world.
But it is enough to further consolidate Li Ang’s position in football, and the saying that there are three strong teams in football will naturally be recognized by more fans.
Coach Zhang is looking forward to the arrival of this day.
And many Chinese fans like him also enthusiastically discussed the grand scene after Li Ang won the Champions League again on the night when Chelsea defeated Atletico Madrid!
After this battle, Li Ang has once again become the king of topics in football at this stage.
Whether Ronaldo can regain the traffic throne depends on whether he and Real Madrid can successfully overturn Juventus in the big battle tomorrow night.
If the Portuguese superstar once again changes his fate and helps Real Madrid overturn his opponent, then another duel between him and Li Ang will directly benefit sports media around the world.
This statement is not an exaggeration at all. After all, Real Madrid only met Chelsea in the group stage last year, and the ratings of their match directly killed other group stage matches.
If the two teams really meet on the stage of the Champions League final this year, the highlights and the heat of public opinion will be directly maxed out!
Mourinho and Real Madrid, Leon and Real Madrid, Mourinho and Ancelotti, Leon and Ronaldo…
These topics are randomly picked out of a group, which is enough for several major European sports newspapers to eat traffic and make a lot of money.
If they really get together and appear in the newspaper, then in the next few weeks or even after the Champions League final, sports reporters will have no shortage of materials to write.
After seeing Chelsea successfully advance to the Champions League final, all European media seem to have a unified opinion and began to collectively look forward to Real Madrid’s successful breakthrough.
Such public opinion has both advantages and disadvantages for Real Madrid at this time.
The optimism of most media and fans will naturally increase the confidence of Real Madrid’s players to turn the tables, but it must be said that carrying too many people’s expectations will also double the pressure on Real Madrid players!
Some stars are born with the ability to turn huge pressure into motivation, such as the paranoid Cristiano Ronaldo. This is also a rare talent. Such stars can often inspire their teammates to create miracles in adversity.
But there are still too few stars with the ability to withstand pressure like Cristiano Ronaldo, and the mentality of more stars will still be disturbed by the public opinion environment.
Like ordinary people, they will subconsciously look for people to rely on when facing unexpected pressure.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Ramos have always been strong leaders in Real Madrid that their teammates can rely on.
But at the end of the season, their physical strength and energy are also rapidly consumed, and it is not time to get enough rest.
Can they still save the team like they did in the early and middle stages of the season?
Many fanatical Real Madrid fans may not realize this yet, but Li Ang has already started to worry about it.
There is no need to compare too many powerful teams. Just talking about Chelsea itself, the first thing Mourinho did after overcoming this devilish schedule was to give all the main players a holiday!
Even if this will cause Chelsea to break the unbeaten record in the last three league games.
Mourinho certainly wants to win the Premier League title unbeaten again, but he has no say now.
Chelsea’s medical team has issued a red alert for exhaustion to seven Chelsea main players!
After fighting Manchester City, Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, Chelsea has almost used up the physical strength accumulated in the early part of the season.
Chelsea, the most capable team in Europe, has now entered the stage of exhaustion, not to mention Real Madrid, which is older overall and the head coach likes to stick to the same main lineup.
In contrast, although Juventus’ players are also very tired, they have already won the Serie A championship in advance, and like Chelsea, they are currently free of the burden of the league.
Allegri can at least let the main players take more turns in the league to slowly accumulate physical strength.
And with the victory in the first round, the Juventus team is more relaxed in mentality than Real Madrid.
From a neutral perspective, Li Ang is actually more optimistic about Juventus’ successful promotion.
But everyone has selfish desires. After getting the holiday, Li Ang stayed in Madrid and updated his social media without any concealment:
He directly indicated that he would go to the Bernabeu to cheer for Real Madrid on the night of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Juventus!
Such a clear-cut stand naturally made Li Ang “favored” by the Meilingge again.
On the evening of May 4, Li Ang, accompanied by Mendes, sat in the VIP box at the Bernabeu.
Before that, he had met and hugged a group of Real Madrid legends, who were also famous predecessors in the football world.
Raul, Figo, Roberto Carlos, Guti, Morientes…
Too many former superstars gathered at the Bernabeu today just to witness Real Madrid’s comeback.
In addition, many celebrities and even political figures in the entertainment industry appeared at the scene of today’s game.
The popularity and pre-match publicity of this super battle can be seen from this.
Ancelotti finally played his tactical trump card in tonight’s game. James Rodriguez, who he had always used, sat on the bench today, and Isco started instead.
This was beyond the expectations of many media and fans before the game.
Li Ang was also interested in Ancelotti’s offensive backhand.
Although Real Madrid still played 433 in today’s game, instead of the variant 4222 that Mourinho had played before.
But Li Ang felt that its tactical use was still similar.
Isco’s appearance can provide Real Madrid’s midfield with more ball control and the ability to get rid of the ball after getting it.
Just like when Mourinho asked Di Maria to retreat to play in the midfield.
And the activeness of these technical players in the offensive end of the midfield is enough to make the opponent’s defenders consume a lot of defensive energy for them.
Maybe Ancelotti’s idea is to let Isco fight a war of attrition first, and then replace James in the second half to fight a harvesting war?
Li Ang was not sure, but after thinking about it, this was actually very similar to his memory of Zidane’s reuse of Isco.
Li Ang, who was patient, observed the positions of the starting players of Real Madrid and Juventus today.
At 7:45 pm local time in Madrid, the referee on duty blew the whistle to start the game!
Like Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, who lost the first round away and did not score away goals, actively launched offensive tests at home from the beginning of the game!
Today, the BBC combination on the Real Madrid front line was not absent, and Ronaldo and Bale also launched a strong attack on Juventus’s defense system from both wings.
But facing Juventus’ 451 positioning system that pays great attention to wing defense, even as strong as Ronaldo and Bale, they feel embarrassed.
Temporarily give up the attack, arrange two lines of defense on the wing, and put three big men with good physical fitness in the middle of the midfield to play defensive stranglehold.
The taste of this defense and the habit of loving muscular men in the midfield can be said to be full of embarrassment.
Li Ang only watched the game for a while, and subconsciously recalled the days when he played as a troublemaker in the midfield with Gattuso and Boateng in Milan…
It has to be said that although Uncle Jon has been criticized by the media in Serie A over the years, his ability to choose the right players has improved more than before.
Given strong star players, he can arrange the positions to achieve results.
When he has to use “blue-collar” players, he can also arrange appropriate tactics according to the characteristics of these players to play their strengths.
At this time, the starting midfielder Sturaro in Juventus used his tireless running to sweep the central midfielder position to achieve good results.
After Allegri moved his position forward, his excellent physical fitness and large defensive coverage area interfered with Real Madrid’s offensive organization.
And the late partner of Pogba and Khedira can also safely protect Juventus’s defense line.
When necessary, they don’t even need to dribble forward to grab the ball. They only need to launch a counterattack and make a long pass to make full use of Juventus’s advantage in numbers on the wing today.
It can be said that Allegri’s starting lineup today brought out Juventus’s wing defense and counterattack advantages to the fullest.
After the two wing attacking superstars of Real Madrid fell into the quagmire of defense, the overall offensive advancement also stagnated.
This scene made the American fans once again complain about the “rigidity” of their head coach Ancelotti’s use of players.
After all, when Ronaldo and Bale are both physically fit and in good shape, facing such a situation is nothing more than a matter of attacking a few more times.
Arranging a few more defenders can limit the peak Ronaldo and Bale?
Then the titles of these two superstars are too easy!
The tactics arranged by Allegri are very targeted and effective, but in essence, he still takes advantage of the lack of physical fitness of Real Madrid’s main players.
However, seeing that the two ace players are not performing well against Juventus’ defense, Ancelotti still adjusted the tactics in time and let Isco control the offensive ball in advance!
This adjustment is undoubtedly very correct. Isco, who has been a substitute in the first half of the season, has no problem with physical fitness, and he is very confident in his skills.
After gaining enough tactical status, Isco quickly tore open Juventus’ midfield defense bit by bit through his delicate dribbling on the offensive end!
After all, he was almost bought by Barcelona to be trained as the next Iniesta.
Even if he still has the problem of loving to stick to the ball, Isco can now be called the top offensive midfielder in European football.
After activating Real Madrid’s frontcourt offensive with a point-to-point approach, Isco and Modric cooperated tacitly and began to shift the direction of attack with a faster passing frequency, involving Juventus’s defense line.
In the 33rd minute of the first half, Ronaldo, who finally found an opportunity, got rid of the defense of his old teammate Evra on the wing and successfully cut into Juventus’ penalty area!
Modric, who had just received Isco’s transfer ball at the side, decisively sent a precise cross!
Ronaldo used his speed advantage to get rid of Barzagli’s defensive interference and scored with a header, successfully helping Real Madrid equalize the total score in the first half of the game!
Ronaldo, who scored this key goal, was very excited, and his cheeks flushed as he roared in celebration at the live camera!
He was under tremendous pressure and the expectations of hundreds of millions of fans before the game, but he still withstood the pressure and stood up, becoming a superhero of Real Madrid in adversity!
The Bernabeu scene also became fanatically agitated!
Li Ang also stood up from the box and cheered for Real Madrid’s goal. The live camera quickly captured this scene, and the cheers of the Meilingges on the scene became more enthusiastic!
Real Madrid, who successfully tore through Juventus’ defense, wanted to strike while the iron was hot and continue to suppress Juventus to expand their lead.
But with Allegri’s timely comfort, Juventus’ players on the field did not seem panicked.
They still defended the half court step by step and patiently looked for counterattack opportunities.
At this time, Real Madrid’s aggressive forward pressure just gave Juventus such an opportunity!
In the 41st minute of the first half, Bale, who had replaced Ronaldo again, accelerated on the wing and forced Lichtsteiner to get rid of him.
After passing the bottom, Bale sent a cross. This time, with Ronaldo’s cover in front of the penalty area, Benzema successfully grabbed a point in the middle of the penalty area!
However, his header this time was slightly more correct, and Buffon’s sword was still sharp, and he steadily took off Benzema’s header.
Just when the Real Madrid players were still regretting that Benzema missed a good chance to score, Buffon had already sent a quick hand throw!
And Pogba, who took over the ball on the wing, also sent a counterattack long pass after a brief observation!
The football flew directly past the organization of the midfield to the Real Madrid half.
Morata took the lead in retreating and occupied a favorable position to receive the ball and immediately passed the ball to the wing!
Cuadrado rushed along the sideline with the ball, but Marcelo was still in Juventus’ half and failed to return to defense immediately.
If it were Li Ang when he was still in Real Madrid, he would definitely pull to the side to fill Marcelo’s position immediately.
And no matter what method he used, he would stop Cuadrado immediately. In short, he would never let the opponent’s winger dribble the ball to his own defensive hinterland so easily.
But Casemiro did not have his speed advantage, and secondly, he made the mistake of being too cautious on the defensive end at this moment.
He was very active in returning to defense from the middle, but Cuadrado, who successfully went down the bottom, did not hang the ball into the penalty area where the Real Madrid defenders were guarding tightly!
A reverse triangle pass gave Sturaro, who followed up, a chance to shoot at the front of the Real Madrid penalty area!
Casemiro and Modric, who returned to defense, first reacted to double-team Sturaro!
But Sturaro, after attracting the defensive attention of two Real Madrid midfielders, knocked the ball horizontally to the right side of the top of the Real Madrid penalty area!
Pogba successfully stopped the ball under the gaze of countless fans at this moment, and then he held his breath and pushed the ball forward, and then completed the accumulation of power and made a violent volley in front of the penalty area!
The football whistled and spun, and finally plunged into the upper left corner of the Real Madrid goal!
Navas, whose defensive vision was disturbed by his teammates, was completely helpless against this world wave!
2-1!
Juventus completed the overall score reversal, and they also scored a crucial away goal!
The Real Madrid fans who were still singing and dancing at home a few minutes ago could no longer be happy.
Li Ang, sitting in the box, also covered his head with his hands.
He had long reminded Modric and Casemiro to be careful of Pogba’s explosive performance, but now…
Having achieved the most ideal result, Juventus decisively began to shrink their formation and defend the half court. Real Madrid failed to change the score again before the end of the first half.
In the entire second half, Real Madrid, which had consumed a lot of physical energy, was almost lost in Juventus’s all-out defensive stranglehold!
Although Bale received a cross from Ronaldo in the 82nd minute of the second half and volleyed the ball into Juventus’ goal.
But in the end, Real Madrid still lost the chance to advance when all Juventus players defended!
The final score was 2-2, but Juventus successfully eliminated the pre-match favorite Real Madrid with the advantage of an away goal, and successfully entered the Champions League final and became Chelsea’s final opponent this season!
Allegri and his disciples celebrated passionately at the Bernabeu Stadium.
In Carvajal’s emotional and regretful tears, Real Madrid ended this season’s Champions League journey very helplessly.
The live broadcast camera after the game was directed at the old man and Sanchez, the current CEO of Real Madrid.
The two Real Madrid giants were gloomy in the stands.
Perhaps after this game, a new transfer storm will cover the Bernabeu and the top giants in football.
Florentino has never wanted to bring Leon back to the Bernabeu as much as he does now!
He also wants to bring back the glory that should have belonged to Real Madrid!
