Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 411
c402 What is a Golden Ball-level core midfielder!
Li Ang’s confident speech to the reporters quickly won the enthusiastic support and approval of Real Madrid fans.
Even though they have been suppressed by two mortal enemies in the league in recent years, the unique pride of Real Madrid cannot be damaged!
If other Real Madrid main players stood up and said this at this moment, they might still be a little hesitant about whether to “follow the group”.
But now that Li Ang has won the Golden Ball and confidently returned to Real Madrid, he stood up to the opponent and the Meilingges naturally said nothing and had to go all-in to support him to the end!
Atletico Madrid and Barcelona fans are somewhat guilty in front of Li Ang. After all, regardless of whether Li Ang has been in Real Madrid in the past few seasons, his record against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona has a crushing advantage.
Li Ang’s nickname “La Liga Killer” is not taken for nothing.
As the only top star who has defeated the current top three teams in the La Liga in the past few seasons, his ability to fight hard battles has to be admired even by the fans who hate him the most.
But just like the Meilingges don’t want to bring down the pride and dignity of Real Madrid, the supporters of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona also want to maintain the face of their own clubs.
Therefore, they are rare to unite together to mock and refute Li Ang’s domineering declaration.
Li Ang has just returned to Real Madrid, but he only used one public speech to directly cause the declaration of war between the two major fan groups in La Liga!
The Spanish media are so happy to see this public opinion!
God bless him!
Although the old madman did not return to La Liga, fortunately the “little madman” is back now.
This domineering posture is very energetic at first glance!
We must interview Li Ang more in the future. This topic and traffic are really rising. The free traffic is really fragrant!
The Meilingges are fighting one against two, and they are inseparable from the fans of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid on the Internet.
But the instigator stopped moving after provoking the emotions of these fans.
Only the reporters who squatted outside the Valdebebas training base every day faithfully used photos to prove the authenticity of Li Ang’s extra training.
Even though most of the main players of Real Madrid’s first team have not returned to the team to participate in joint training, Li Ang and a group of substitutes are also training hard.
Under Zidane’s strong suggestion, Ancelotti finally nodded and invited Pintus back from Ligue 1, and agreed to improve physical fitness in the pre-season training this summer.
With Pintus, the master of physical training, Ancelotti does not need to worry about the training plan.
And Pintus was very happy to make a devil training plan for the young players of Real Madrid after returning to Real Madrid.
The older veterans can slowly adapt and slowly increase the amount of training.
But this group of young players, like Li Ang and Nacho a few years ago, will definitely not escape Pintus’s “clutches”!
Li Ang naturally took the lead and accepted Pintus’ devil physical training as the big brother and role model of the whole team.
As a result, after the first day of Real Madrid’s devilish training, according to an exclusive report by Marca, Leon laughed abnormally at the Castilla juniors who vomited all over the place…
Whether such gossip is true or not, the fans don’t know.
But they are very clear about the fact that Leon has outstanding physical fitness.
With Leon as a training role model, the young players of Real Madrid’s first team will naturally train harder and harder.
The Real Madrid coaching staff has also become mysterious. Neither Ancelotti nor Zidane has revealed any information about the current training.
On July 16, just after Real Madrid held a grand home welcome ceremony for Leon, the Real Madrid club officially announced that the team would fly to the United States the next day for training.
It is worth mentioning that the Bernabeu was packed with more than 81,000 people at Leon’s home welcome ceremony!
The number of fans who came to watch Leon’s return to Real Madrid also broke the record when Ronaldo joined Real Madrid.
Such a grand scene attracted media from all over the world to report it.
The Real Madrid fans who were ignited by Li Ang’s successful return once again let the world see the influence of the top football club!
When Li Ang went to North America with the team for training, the discussion of him and Real Madrid by the media and fans also set off a wave of enthusiasm in the Americas.
This time, Li Ang is no longer a small supporting role next to superstars such as Ronaldo and Di Maria. He has become the well-deserved protagonist of Real Madrid’s North American tour!
Even Modric, Casemiro, James Rodriguez, Benzema, Bale and other Real Madrid main players went to the United States to return to the team for joint training within two days.
But the enthusiastic fans gathered outside the hotel where the entire Real Madrid team stayed are still excitedly discussing Li Ang!
There is no way. Li Ang’s popularity in the football world has been rising in recent years, but he really prefers fans in China and Europe. He has never had a few decent North American business trips.
If we only talk about his football skills, the spectators in North America may not be interested in him, after all, this is not the core area for the development of football.
But if we look at his popularity, Li Ang can really share the world with Messi and Ronaldo in North America!
It’s because he is handsome, has a good figure, and a tough personality!
Mendes doesn’t know where he got the North American genius agent team from, and the marketing methods for Li Ang are almost the same as those of European and American fans.
There is no publicity for football skills, but they are 100% experts in promoting the honors and excellent appearance of Li Ang!
So much so that Li Ang is now very surprised that he has a group of fanatical “fans” in North America.
But no matter whether people like him because of his football skills or other characteristics, this support still touches him.
People bought his jerseys and his development peripherals, picked him up at the airport and waited outside the hotel with signs, which is always a passion and money.
Of course, Li Ang also responded enthusiastically. As long as the security conditions are not a problem, he also tried his best to meet the autographs, photos and even hugs of these North American fans.
Nacho, a good brother who lives in the same room with Li Ang, teased Li Ang for several days while stroking his big beard.
In the end, in order to refute Nacho’s view that those young female fans like him because they like actors of the type of pretty boys, Li Ang also deliberately grew stubble in the next few days of training.
It’s just like Cristiano Ronaldo always goes against the fans’ wishes and insists on tanning, playing a rebellious role.
However, the facts also prove that these fans who may not like Li Ang because of his football skills are still very “dedicated”.
Even when Li Ang showed his unshaven side in front of the public camera, they still didn’t dislike it, and praised Li Ang’s “mature style” on the Internet.
This made Nacho doubt his life. Every day after getting up, he would touch his full beard in front of the mirror and sigh.
Compare beards?
Isn’t his beard more stylish and thicker than Li Ang’s?
But why do those girls say that they like mature style, but in fact they don’t even look at themselves…
In this society, handsome men are still more popular!
Nacho is complaining about the randomness and injustice of God in shaping everyone’s face.
On the other hand, James Rodriguez, who also has an outstanding appearance and is now very popular throughout the Americas, is not happy at all.
Compared with the number of female fans, he now pays more attention to whether he can keep his main position in the Real Madrid team.
To be honest, he was still very happy when Real Madrid officially announced the successful introduction of Li Ang. After all, the team’s strength in the new season is destined to be greatly strengthened.
But the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Before leaving Real Madrid, Li Ang had played well with Casemiro and Modric.
Ancelotti has indeed given him the absolute main position in the frontcourt in the past two seasons, and he has also handed in a satisfactory answer to the fans and the media.
But once Li Ang returns to Real Madrid, if he wants to play the number 10 position, he will definitely not be able to compete with Li Ang.
Even if Li Ang plays the number 8 position, will he have an advantage in the face of Modric’s strong competition?
James, who has partnered with Modric for two years, is also very clear about Modric’s versatility and upper limit in the midfield.
So he always felt unconfident during this period.
After a full week of training in the United States, before the start of the International Champions Cup friendly match, James Rodriguez finally ushered in the final “trial”.
He was eventually not selected for the starting eleven of the first International Champions Cup!
Even though he had prepared himself mentally in advance, he still felt very disappointed when the moment really came.
Ancelotti talked to him privately and told him not to think too much, saying that this was just an experimental selection for the friendly match.
But James is not a naive young player in his early 20s. He understands that his tactical position in the entire Real Madrid coaching staff has been greatly reduced.
Perhaps Real Madrid really doesn’t need a No. 10 position in the new season. The double central midfielder combination of Liang and Modric is enough to provide Real Madrid’s new midfield with stronger offensive and defensive capabilities…
Thinking of this, James became even more frustrated.
However, Real Madrid fans now will not care too much about the ups and downs of the heart of the darling of Real Madrid’s midfield last season.
At 19:30 on July 27, North American time, the first International Champions Cup friendly match of Real Madrid’s US tour officially kicked off, and they will be the first to appear on stage with Paris Saint-Germain.
Ronaldo will return to the team for training after the friendly match, and Bale still needs time to rest, so Real Madrid’s front and back field configurations are not star-studded except for the midfield.
But Li Ang’s starting lineup still attracted a huge amount of attention from fans.
He also played with Casemiro and Modric again after three years!
In comparison, Paris Saint-Germain has many more main players starting in the friendly match than Real Madrid.
Many of Mourinho’s Real Madrid brothers gathered on the court again.
Higuain, Di Maria, Li Ang, Ramos, Nacho…
The scene of several Mourinho Real Madrid players smiling at each other on the court also made countless Real Madrid fans in front of the TV sigh.
They miss the invincible super Real Madrid, the players who have brought them countless happy memories, and their precious youth.
Fortunately, Li Ang, who is now wearing the white jersey of Real Madrid again, has given them great comfort.
When seeing Li Ang receiving the return pass from his Real Madrid teammate and confidently directing the team’s movement, many of the Meilingges felt a sense of “what time is it now” in their hearts.
Li Ang, who had only practiced with the Real Madrid team for just over two weeks, was not afraid of the stage at this moment.
He had already understood Ancelotti’s tactical framework and midfield operation logic in advance.
In addition, most of his partners were former teammates he was familiar with, so he did not have too many problems in adapting.
The current running-in is to let him know more about the playing habits and technical characteristics of his “new teammates”.
For example, Kovacic, Danilo, Marcos Llorente and Mariano, these young players, Li Ang has never worked with them before, so he needs more trial and error in cooperating with them.
But Li Ang still has no problem with the tacit understanding with Modric, Casemiro, Ramos, Jesse and Isco.
Take the midfield organization at the beginning of the game as an example. Li Ang’s control of the rhythm is almost perfect. He is much stronger than when he left Real Madrid, and his first-hand organization skills are not inferior to Modric.
But even if he can do most of the work of midfield organization, Li Ang still chooses to give the task of holding the ball and distributing the ball to Modric at this moment.
The two of them worked together in the midfield like a pair of gears that were born with tacit understanding. Li Ang organized the ball and Modric changed the offense.
This greatly improved the offensive organization efficiency of Real Madrid’s midfield.
What made commentators from all countries amazed at this moment was that Li Ang’s previous work in Chelsea was clearly what Modric was doing in Real Madrid at the moment.
But now he has transformed into “Kroos” and can still control the organization of the midfield and backcourt. This ability to smoothly change different roles in the midfield structure is really rare!
Ancelotti nodded repeatedly when watching off the court. He did not doubt Li Ang’s ability to do this.
What he admired more was Li Ang’s smart brain that could always analyze the situation on the field rationally and always restrain himself from making the most helpful choice for the team!
Paris Saint-Germain’s midfield configuration is not low at all in Europe, but at this moment, facing the joint suppression of Li Ang and Modric, Verratti and Pastore could only retreat again and again, and soon lost the control of the midfield.
Real Madrid, who pressed forward as a whole, also launched a series of smooth attacks in the Paris half.
With a steady stream of offensive firepower, Isco and Jesse were like gods, constantly using their excellent skills to create threats in the rib area of the Paris half!
Watching this series of smooth attacks, Real Madrid fans were directly climaxed!
At this moment, they just wanted to shout to the world like Versailles:
“Look, look! What is a Ballon d’Or-level midfielder!”
