Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 400
c393 No matter how turbulent the public opinion is, I will remain unmoved
《Failed in the semi-finals again, another embarrassing period for Real Madrid?》
《Ancelotti has received an ultimatum!》
《Florentino’s dissatisfaction, Real Madrid’s new head coach selection》
《Uncovering the current situation of Real Madrid’s locker room after being eliminated》
……
On the morning of the second day after Real Madrid was eliminated by Juventus, all kinds of monsters and demons on the Spanish media side jumped out to try to get a wave of traffic and popularity.
Some media said that Ancelotti had lost all the trust of Real Madrid’s top management, and Real Madrid has now started the preliminary screening of the new head coach.
Some media swore that they had obtained accurate information from Real Madrid, saying that Ancelotti would not be fired by the old man, but on the contrary, he would be able to get a large amount of signings in this summer window.
And what attracted the most attention of the fans was, of course, the news about the turmoil in the Real Madrid locker room that AS broke out again…
At least 90% of the news about Real Madrid that broke out at this time was groundless or even fictitious.
Only about 10% of the news is credible.
But the fans who are just having fun don’t care whether the news is true or false.
While eating all kinds of so-called Real Madrid internal gossip, they also help these media to vigorously promote rumors on the Internet, and finally make fans from other leagues curious and pay attention to it.
Li Ang wisely chose to leave before the public opinion storm completely enveloped Madrid.
He doesn’t care about the outside public opinion and gossip, but he won’t take the initiative to jump into the center of the public opinion vortex.
Mendes stayed in Madrid because the negotiations between Ronaldo and Real Madrid’s top management have come to an end recently.
Both sides have to make a decision now, so as not to be disturbed by unexpected situations in the summer window this year. Future team building plans and career choices.
Li Ang doesn’t want to get involved in such troublesome things, and he will play the Champions League final with his teammates later, so he simply returns to London in advance to participate in the preparation training for the next round of the league.
He will definitely not be able to catch up with the Premier League against Bournemouth on May 7. The time is too tight, and he has not trained with his substitute teammates in the past few days.
But he can still start in the league replay between Chelsea and Arsenal on May 11.
This replay is also Chelsea’s last “tough battle” in the league this season.
In the final league match, Chelsea will go away to challenge Sunderland, which has successfully secured relegation in advance.
The last round of the league is not difficult for Chelsea, and if Chelsea wants to strive for an unbeaten championship achievement, then Chelsea must try to maintain a draw and win in the two rounds of the league with Bournemouth and Sunderland.
As for the match with Arsenal, there will be more than just Li Ang, a Chelsea main player, who will start the game. At least five or six other Chelsea main players will play after a full rest.
Not to say that they must win the London derby with Arsenal, but with Li Ang in charge, Chelsea is more confident of a draw.
Anyway, the league has already won the championship in advance, and Mourinho does not have too high requirements for the players who will play as substitutes in the league.
Just play calmly and try to show your style. If you really lose the game, it’s actually no big deal.
Anyway, Chelsea’s coaching staff will not put too much pressure on the players in the last three rounds of the league.
After Li Ang returned to London and practiced with his teammates for a day, he was still selected by Mourinho into the starting 18 list and taken to Bournemouth’s home.
However, he just sat on the bench as a mascot in this game and did not get a minute of playing time in the whole game.
However, I don’t know if his participation in the team also brought good luck to the whole Chelsea team.
Bournemouth played quite well at home, but they were eventually hit by a shot in the first and second half, which ruined their chances of winning.
In the end, they also tied with Chelsea 2-2 at home and got an insignificant point.
Chelsea continued to retain the hope of winning the championship this season.
After the game, Li Ang also waited on the sidelines and hugged the team’s youth training player Abraham’s neck directly, jokingly “dealing” with Salah, who sent two through balls today but didn’t get an assist in the end.
This kid started for Chelsea today, but missed the ball in two single shots, just like Morata who just joined Real Madrid’s first team from the second team!
Li Ang felt sorry for Salah. Under normal circumstances, he could at least get an assist, but Abraham took all of it away.
However, after the two of them teased Abraham on the side of the court, they patted his butt affectionately to cheer him up.
This 18-year-old boy is already a good semi-finished product cultivated by Chelsea’s youth training camp in recent years.
Although he still has many defects in technology and physical fitness, his talent is also obvious.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Chelsea coaching staff will really promote him to the first team for a trial in the pre-season training this summer.
Regardless of whether he can successfully stay in the first team to participate in the new season of the Premier League, this kid has already been named by the coaching staff and will be the focus of the team’s training in the future.
Just like Van Ginkel and Kalas in the past.
Chelsea can indeed continue to spend lavishly in the transfer market to recruit famous stars to enhance the team’s combat effectiveness.
But it is also very important to cultivate their own youth training and pass on the team’s culture and spirit firmly.
After all, Chelsea is no longer a wealthy club, but a legitimate new European giant.
Li Ang certainly understands this, and as the captain of the team, he has always encouraged the future strength of these teams to train hard and grow hard.
Mourinho watched Li Ang give Abraham some advice in the player tunnel, just smiled and didn’t say much.
Now, many times, the training of young players is done by Li Ang with several first-team players from Chelsea’s youth training.
To be honest, this has reduced a lot of burden for their coaching staff, and Li Ang and his team’s communication with these younger generation players is more effective.
Over time, the coaching staff has also become accustomed to the current situation where Li Ang acts as a bridge of communication between young players and veteran coaches.
Moreover, Mourinho has always trusted Li Ang very much, and he is very confident in handing these young players over to Li Ang.
At least Li Ang will really take care of these guys and prevent them from indulging in the decadent life of feasting and revelry too early like the so-called young talents of other teams.
When thinking of this, Mourinho always lamented the correctness of his insistence on bringing Li Ang to the Premier League.
But somehow, Mourinho quickly remembered some transfer rumors he saw on the Internet a few days ago.
Although he did not believe the authenticity of these transfer rumors, Mourinho looked at Li Ang again at this moment, and he was still subconsciously worried.
He planned to find an opportunity to talk to Li Ang after a while, and he must know what Li Ang really thought.
Well, let’s put it after the Champions League final…
After playing the 37th round of the Premier League with Bournemouth, Chelsea’s management has almost made a celebration plan after the end of the season.
But at this festive moment, the Spanish media who were making trouble were the first to expose the news that Real Madrid will go all out to introduce Li Ang in this summer window!
At first, this news did not attract much attention from fans.
Because since Li Ang played a super performance in the first season of his transfer to the Premier League, Real Madrid’s performance declined due to the decline in midfield hardness, and the Spanish media would have similar news from time to time.
It’s like reheating old news. Not to mention the summer window, many Spanish sports media have used this matter to attract traffic in the winter window of recent seasons.
Now Li Ang has achieved great success in Chelsea. This year, he not only led the team to complete the feat of three consecutive league titles, but also has a great chance to achieve the achievement of defending the Champions League again.
The transfer fee of more than 80 million paid by Chelsea that year now seems to be very cost-effective, and Real Madrid has indeed suffered a huge loss.
Not only did they “sell” the captain of the next 10 years at a low price, but they also lost the first Golden Ball midfielder in football that would have belonged to them 100%.
In this case, it is understandable that Real Madrid has always wanted to bring Li Ang back to the Bernabeu. Many neutral fans can understand Real Madrid’s urgency.
But the problem is that Real Madrid wants to buy back Li Ang now, but what reason does Chelsea have to sell Li Ang?
So the gossip is just gossip after all. Looking at the real situation, few fans would think that Real Madrid can bring Li Ang back to the Bernabeu by spending 100 million or tens of millions.
So when the relevant news came out this time, many fans just watched it for fun.
But when Marca and AS followed up on the story, and finally Bild and England’s Sky Sports broke the news that Real Madrid had indeed made up their minds to buy back Li Ang, more fans couldn’t sit still!
“No way, Real Madrid! You guys are really serious this year!”
“Can Real Madrid pass the Financial Fair Play Act? If they want to sign Leon now, they will have to spend a lot of money at once, right?”
“Your impression has changed. Real Madrid is no longer the club that used to spend a lot of money. They haven’t spent much money in recent seasons, and the salary structure in the team is also very reasonable.
And if you do the math, did Leon’s transfer fee and Bale’s transfer funds offset each other? Real Madrid also used the money from Morata and Matuidi to buy James, so they didn’t spend much money in recent seasons, and they can really hit Leon!”
“Then it seems that Real Madrid’s performance in recent seasons is not bad! The investment is not big, and they can still make it to the top four of the Champions League every year. If this is my home team…”
“You can’t look at it that way. Real Madrid has a solid foundation, and it is a failure for a club like Real Madrid to fail to win the championship. Alas, Fatty Ancelotti is under too much pressure.”
…
More and more fans are participating in the discussion of Leon and Real Madrid’s transfer.
Well-known sports media from all over the world, smelling the traffic, also began to dig deep and follow up.
However, at this time, Li Ang, as the person involved, remained silent and never expressed any attitude on the matter.
Neither admitting nor refuting, he still attended the team’s training on time every day as if nothing had happened.
After the training, he would practice more and have dinner with his teammates.
While Mendes was still busy with Ronaldo’s affairs, Li Ang did not cause trouble for his agent.
And his choice to ignore it this time actually met the intention of his agent team behind him.
Without clarification, there will always be topics and heat, not to mention that it is still entangled with the top football club like Real Madrid.
After Li Ang chose to switch to Chelsea, although the amount of commercial endorsements was still rising sharply year by year, many Chinese companies did sigh for it.
Now that the opportunity for Li Ang to return to Real Madrid has arrived, China is also cheering and applauding, and Li Ang’s agency team has also received many “friendly” inquiries from Chinese giants.
Looking at this situation, as long as Li Ang re-approves Real Madrid’s white jersey next season, these old partners are willing to increase the contract for Li Ang’s renewal!
This is not a few million in revenue, even if it is settled in pounds, the increase will be tens of millions in endorsement income!
Mendes was also very excited about this and called Li Ang specifically to ask for his opinion, but Li Ang is still very calm now and only replied to Mendes with “no hurry”.
He is really not in a hurry now. What endorsement increase, what tens of millions of income, can’t be compared with the subsequent Champions League final!
And his current disregard for the transfer rumors from the outside world is not a pretense, but he really doesn’t want to consider these things at this time point.
After successfully winning the Champions League, he will discuss everything one by one.
Before that, sorry, he really didn’t have time to pay attention to those meaningless rumors from the outside world.
His full-hearted preparation for training during this period can be regarded as a silent response to the outside world.
Mendes has worked with Li Ang for so many years, and he has also understood Li Ang’s temper. Seeing that Li Ang is still calm, he suppressed his excitement and temporarily put aside the transfer.
On the evening of May 11, after the transfer rumors had swept the world, Li Ang appeared on the court for the first time, and also appeared in the public’s field of vision for the first time.
He still looked very calm, as if he was not affected by the rampant transfer rumors.
Mourinho did not seem to be affected by the rumors. Facing the gaze of the live camera, he even smiled with his hands spread out.
Arsenal’s players on the field looked at Li Ang from time to time, with a look of eating melons on their faces.
Now they have firmly sat in the fourth place in the Premier League, completely leaving Tottenham behind, so the will to fight is indeed not strong.
But Li Ang, who had been resting for many days, was now eager for the excitement of the game. From the beginning of the game, he went all out and kept taking the ball to attack Arsenal’s backcourt defense!
In this state, Li Ang was like many offensive superstars in football, “selfish” and full of self-confidence!
Arsenal’s backcourt players were caught off guard and were quickly penetrated by Li Ang many times!
It was only the eighth minute of the first half, and Li Ang, who had repeatedly created danger, took the ball again and advanced from the midfield.
Li Ang’s former teammate Flamini, who started today, was unsure and chose to retreat to defend at the first time.
Ramsey saw this and could only maintain the integrity of the midfield defense and retreat with him.
Wenger saw this scene on the sidelines and shouted in his heart that it was not good!
But before he could remind his disciples, Li Ang decisively adjusted his steps after entering his shooting range and shot with power!
The area where Li Ang shot was about 34 meters away from the Arsenal goal.
Since Ronaldo has grown older, his long-range shooting skills have not been as good as before. Few players in the football world can confidently shoot from such a long distance.
But such a distance is indeed within Li Ang’s range. He has scored many such super long shots in the past two seasons!
Ospina obviously knows Li Ang’s shooting range data very well. Facing Li Ang’s confident long-range shot, he did not dare to be careless. After predicting the movement in advance, he jumped up with all his strength and stretched his arms to make an extreme save!
The football whistling in the air towards the goal finally seemed to touch Ospina’s fingertips a little. It deviated from the original route, but finally hit the inside of the Arsenal goal post and bounced into the net!
After Li Ang confirmed that the football entered the net, he did not run to the corner flag area to celebrate passionately as he did in the past.
Instead, he turned around with a smile and opened his arms to greet his teammates on the field.
He hugged Kroos, who rushed up first. At the moment when he was drowned by his teammates, the live camera clearly captured the calm and confident smile on his face.
Such a game state and celebration attitude have fully proved that he is not affected by the development of external public opinion!
He is still the professional player who will go all out and purely fight for victory as long as he steps on the court!
This season is not over yet, he will still fight on the court, and will still fight for the dream of defending the Champions League!
Today I recommend a new book, a slow-burning type, which also starts from Real Madrid, which feels very interesting.
