Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 415

c406 I knew Chris earlier than rumors

After scoring 11 goals and conceding only one goal in the two league games, Real Madrid dominated the public opinion field of La Liga in a way that all fans could not have imagined before the season!

Whether it was news about Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, after the first two rounds of the league, they were ruthlessly left behind by football reports related to Real Madrid!

Not even if Barcelona has Messi, a long-time talking figure in football.

To put it bluntly, who among the well-known sports reporters in Spain still follows and reports on Messi?

Li Ang scored six goals in two official games after returning to Real Madrid. This explosive performance completely overshadowed Messi’s brilliance.

No matter what kind of news report it is now, as long as it has something to do with Li Ang, it will basically sell well.

Suddenly, Real Madrid and Li Ang became a hot topic discussed in real time by fans all over the world.

It is precisely amid this heated global discussion that the news of Cristiano Ronaldo’s return from injury did not attract much media attention.

More neutral fans just lamented that the strength of Real Madrid’s first team has been strengthened.

That seems to mean that Ronaldo’s return is just the icing on the cake. Real Madrid can still beat its opponents normally even without Ronaldo.

Some Western media who are more radical, or who want to attract more attention, even put forward the argument that Real Madrid, with Li Ang, no longer needs to regard Ronaldo as the top card.

The point of view is also very straightforward, that is, the total number of goals scored by Li Ang in a single season can perfectly replace Ronaldo’s goals.

Such an argument is very funny and unfounded upon closer inspection.

But a lot of media followed the trend and promoted it, and more neutral fans fell in love with it.

Seeing that Ronaldo was at risk of falling into a public opinion crisis again, Mendes did not dare to be careless and launched a public relations campaign at the first sign of something going wrong.

But for Ronaldo himself, he has seen such small disturbances too many times.

Ever since he made his debut and moved to Manchester United, various criticisms have been surrounding him and they have never stopped.

Compared with Messi’s smooth public opinion environment, Ronaldo has always faced a “public opinion war”

“.

Because although there are many fans who support him, there are also many fans who stand in the opposite camp of public opinion and criticize him.

So the current whirlpool of public opinion is not harmful to Ronaldo at all. He has long been accustomed to using performance to fight back in this environment.

In the exclusive disclosure of “Marca”, the Portuguese superstar was indeed in a good mood after participating in the joint training, and his physical condition also “seemed” to be fine.

If nothing else goes wrong, the next La Liga game will be Cristiano Ronaldo’s first game of the new La Liga season, and Ancelotti will not let his ace forward sit on the bench.

Real Madrid fans are looking forward to this very much. Since the start of the new season, the BBC combination has not played with Real Madrid’s new midfield trio.

When Ronaldo was missing before, Real Madrid’s offensive firepower was already very satisfactory to them.

Now that Cristiano Ronaldo has returned perfectly, Mellingers will only be more confident in the team’s next winning streak.

As for Ronaldo’s integration after returning from injury?

Real Madrid fans have never thought about it.

After all, Li Ang can still maintain such a tacit understanding with his old teammates after leaving the team for three years. Of course, Ronaldo will not have any problems!

Fans’ expectations are always optimistic.

But in fact, the quality of Ronaldo’s participation in team training after returning from injury soon made Real Madrid’s coaching staff feel troubled.

Ronaldo’s body does not have any medical problems, and his physical condition is also good.

At least during the 12-day offseason between the second and third rounds of the new La Liga season, it will be no problem to recover to the point where he can start and play 70 minutes of games.

The problem lies in the “heaviness” of Ronaldo’s body and the loss of his sense of smell in front of the goal.

To put it in detail, Ronaldo played too many games in the past season, and as he is getting older, it takes much longer to recover than before.

This is also an embarrassing problem that countless veterans have to face at this age.

When Li Ang communicated with Ronaldo on the phone after the European Cup, he suggested that Ronaldo consider losing weight appropriately.

Once a forward player passes the age of 30, it is far more important to maintain a light body and a healthy body than to pursue strength and strength.

Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo also listened to Li Ang’s advice, and therefore began to formulate a weight loss plan.

But this offseason is too short for him. He needs to rest and recuperate from injuries. After he returns from injury, he has to start training with the team non-stop.

No matter how self-disciplined he is, he can’t lose weight healthily in just over a month.

So the problems facing Ronaldo and the Real Madrid coaching staff are somewhat unsolvable.

Both sides know that solving such a state problem requires more rest time and adjustment time, but for Ronaldo and Real Madrid, time is the most precious.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be worried about his status in the team being affected

The Real Madrid coaching staff is even more worried that if Ronaldo, who has fully recovered, is integrated into the team system later, will it affect the team’s performance midway through the season?

Of course, there is another consideration, that is, will it affect the mentality of Isco, who has already taken the starting position at Real Madrid?

Ancelotti has been burning his brain cells for several days.

In the end, he trusted Ronaldo more and chose to give Ronaldo more time to adjust on the court.

So after more than a week of rest, Real Madrid fans finally saw the long-lost name of Ronaldo in the 18-man roster released by the team before the game.

Ancelotti also bluntly stated in the pre-match press conference that as long as Ronaldo is healthy, he will definitely be a starter in the Real Madrid forward line.

Such a “perfect speech” naturally satisfied many Ronaldo fans and Real Madrid fans.

For a while, it seemed that only Osasuna supporters were left in the public opinion field lamenting the team’s bad luck, how could it happen to hit the moment of Ronaldo’s return!

On the afternoon of September 10, the Bernabeu, which was full early, was filled with a fanatical and joyful atmosphere.

Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu are looking forward to their king’s return.

They also look forward to the team continuing the hot state of the first two games and continuing to win the third league victory with a big score!

When the live camera swept over Ronaldo and Li Ang, who were smiling and communicating in the player tunnel before the game, the Meilingges at the scene immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers!

The popularity of the two in Real Madrid can be said to be firmly in the top two, and with the two current core players of Real Madrid in the frontcourt, the Meilingges are more confident that they can beat any opponent.

At 3 pm Madrid time, the focus of the third round of the La Liga league started on time.

Not only did Real Madrid play at home, but also welcomed the return of Ronaldo. With the momentum, they pressed Osasuna from the beginning of the game and pressed hard!

The first joint appearance of the BBC combination in the new season also attracted the interest of many neutral fans.

Previously, Isco replaced Ronaldo as the starting left winger and played very well, but his playing style was very different from Ronaldo after all.

Isco has delicate skills and beautiful dribbling, but he lacks the shocking feeling brought to the fans in terms of speed impact.

It is also difficult for him and Bale to play the tactical effect of flying on both wings.

So even though his strength has been recognized by many fans, fans still want to see the exciting scene of Ronaldo and Bale attacking the opponent’s defense line.

Although Li Ang didn’t think so much, he also wanted to feed Ronaldo more balls at the beginning of the game to help him find the feeling of the game.

Therefore, in Real Madrid’s fierce offensive at the beginning, most of the tactics were launched from the left side where Ronaldo was.

Marcelo often presses forward with Ronaldo, taking turns to break through with the ball or run without the ball.

Li Ang will receive the ball or provide defensive protection on their side.

Osasuna adopted a more conservative defensive tactic in this game, so the effect achieved by Real Madrid after pressing all the way seems to be very significant.

At least on the surface, Real Madrid directly compressed Osasuna’s defense line and continuously launched offensive tests in their half.

But as long as Real Madrid fans are more careful, they can quickly find that most of Ronaldo’s breakthrough attempts at the beginning of today ended in failure.

His body still looks a bit heavy, his dribbling is not smooth, and even his breakthrough speed seems to be affected a little.

Real Madrid’s attack on the left is quite smooth, and Marcelo’s excellent performance must be praised.

Of course, Li Ang’s defensive protection of the two players on the left side of the midfield is also indispensable.

It doesn’t matter if Ronaldo loses the ball, Li Ang can always get it back, once or twice.

But the frequency of losing the ball has increased, not only the fans will feel something is wrong, as the opponent Osasuna’s defenders will also take the initiative to find opportunities.

In the thirteenth minute of the first half, Osasuna took the initiative to double-team Ronaldo in the backcourt.

And as soon as they got the ball, Osasuna launched a long pass counterattack!

Their decision to play this simple counterattack is very smart, because they can directly pass Li Ang’s sweeping area in the midfield.

When the defensive force that needed to be faced directly changed from Li Ang and Casemiro to Casemiro alone, Osasuna’s center forward Cordero, who was the fulcrum of the front attack, had more opportunities to grab the ball!

It was indeed a bit difficult for Casemiro to face Cordero, who was 1.9 meters tall, alone.

After all, the opponent almost gave up the ground advancement and played long passes, and Cordero could complete the ball transfer with a header.

This simple counterattack style would not pose any threat to Real Madrid in most cases, but at this moment Osasuna played so well that the cheers at the Bernabeu were much smaller than at the beginning.

The proud Real Madrid home fans could still bear not to boo at this time, but if the situation on the field continued like this for ten minutes, the follow-up situation would be hard to say.

However, at the critical moment, there will always be stars in the Real Madrid team who stand up to bring the rhythm of the game back on track.

This time, Li Ang retreated in time again and stabilized the position on the defensive end.

However, he did not choose to play as a defensive midfielder with Casemiro, but retreated to play as a single defensive midfielder, and then let Casemiro go up to play as a central midfielder!

This position change immediately improved the passive defense of Real Madrid’s midfield.

Casemiro can’t stand up to the center forward, but Li Ang can completely stand up to it. In addition, Casemiro also has the footwork to join the attack from behind, so Real Madrid’s offensive firepower has not weakened because of Li Ang’s retreat.

Osasuna didn’t even have three tricks on the counterattack end, so they just passed the ball long and hit the target. Now it was offset by Li Ang. Naturally, they could only return to the embarrassing situation of being suppressed by Real Madrid.

Although Real Madrid did not attack Ronaldo’s end today, the attacks in the center and right wing still went very smoothly.

Bell rushed Osasuna’s left back Fuentes completely unable to parry. Modric took the opportunity to repeatedly penetrate the rib area at the front of Osasuna’s penalty area.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Modric finally succeeded in getting forward and received the key pass from Carvajal!

Verla took away Osasuna’s defenders on the wing, so the Magic Flute easily reached the bottom, and then sent an inverted triangle cross!

Benzema and Osasuna defender Franho collided with each other, but the ball did not fly towards Osasuna’s goal, but flew in the opposite direction and outside the penalty area!

At the critical moment, Casemiro stepped forward and fired a powerful volley without stopping the ball, which directly broke the balance of the field.

I saw the football roaring, and with a weird arc, it went straight into the net in the lower right corner of Osasuna’s goal!

The Bernabeu, which had been silent for a long time, finally burst into loud cheers at this moment!

Real Madrid fans vented their frustration and dissatisfaction, and Ancelotti, who was sitting on the coaching bench, was relieved at the moment.

On the court at this moment, Li Ang rushed to the frontcourt and hugged his teammates passionately to celebrate, and then patted Ronaldo on the back of the head.

“Take your time, Chris. We have plenty of time this season. Everyone trusts you 100%. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself…”

Li Ang’s comfort made the depressed Ronaldo feel slightly better.

However, in the rest of the first half, Ronaldo, who was actively looking for shooting opportunities, still failed to open Osasuna’s goal.

During the halftime break, Ancelotti comforted Ronaldo again.

He still gave Ronaldo enough time to adjust on the court.

Ronaldo was not replaced throughout the second half, and he also played the full 90 minutes in his first La Liga game after returning from injury.

But in the end, except for the offensive data of nine shots in a single game, Ronaldo did not record any personal data.

Real Madrid also seemed to have interrupted the hot state of the previous two rounds of the league, and only defeated Osasuna with a score of 2-0 in this game.

For a moment, the more keen Meilingers seemed to have anticipated the sharp criticism that Ronaldo would face after the game.

But fortunately, this time, someone stood firmly beside Ronaldo and faced this intolerant world of public opinion with him.

“Let him rest quietly. He still needs time to adjust. As for the news you write, I don’t care, because I know Chris earlier than the rumors you write.”
