Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 416

c407 The cruel king of the Champions League

Li Ang’s “heartwarming” speech did reduce the criticism that Ronaldo received after the game.

However, this is not because the Spanish reporters have a change of heart and feel that they should not blacken a player who just won the European Cup and needs more time to adjust their status to welcome the superstars of the new season.

Rather, it is because Li Ang’s speech brought himself into the public opinion field, and many Spanish media reporters turned around and wrote about the personal friendship between Li Ang and Ronaldo to gain some traffic.

There is no need to ridicule Li Ang. After all, Li Ang is now the hottest chicken in the entire La Liga League, and Spanish media reporters are also eating on various hot topics about Li Ang.

If the main person is annoyed, the loss will be great if Li Ang’s team does not accept their interviews later.

But it is not allowed to ridicule openly, but it is still okay to question in a roundabout way.

Ronaldo did not perform well in the first game after returning from injury. The whole world knows that you, Li Ang, have a good relationship with Ronaldo, but can you protect your friends without thinking just because you have a good relationship?

If you don’t let us say it or question it, then we will continue to question whether Ronaldo still has the strength to be the trump card of Real Madrid’s striker!

The most enthusiastic Spanish media were waiting for Li Ang to continue speaking to refute their criticism of Ronaldo.

They didn’t want to really debate with Li Ang in the newspapers. They just needed Li Ang to continue responding and keep the topic hot.

But Li Ang didn’t fall for it after all.

He had dealt with too many cunning British media reporters in London in the past three seasons.

Compared with the British media, which have a lower bottom line, more flexible methods, and are more likely to anger stars, these Spanish media methods are still a bit immature.

Li Ang can know what these active Spanish reporters are thinking even if he thinks with his butt.

So after he expressed his support for Ronaldo after the game, he did not accept any interviews from any media to continue to comment on this.

It happened that the new season of the Champions League group stage was about to start, and the attention of a large number of neutral fans was also shifted to the Champions League.

Ronaldo’s public opinion environment suddenly relaxed, and it was considered to be a few more days of adjustment time.

Real Madrid was placed in the second tier of the Champions League in the new season because they did not win the La Liga or Champions League last season.

They are in the second tier with Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Arsenal, Dortmund, Sevilla and Naples.

Correspondingly, there are very few teams in the third and fourth tiers of the Champions League this year that can be considered strong.

After counting, only Tottenham, Lyon and Monaco can pose a certain threat to the giants in the first two tiers.

Leicester City was a dark horse in the Premier League last season, and even suppressed Arsenal to get the third place in the Premier League.

But to be honest, no media is optimistic about the performance of the Foxes in the Champions League in the new season.

Arsenal is a regular in the Champions League. It is easy to break through the group stage and enter the top 16 every year.

Leicester City?

It will be a success if they don’t finish last in the group stage this year!

As a super giant in the second tier of the Champions League, Real Madrid did not meet its traditional rivals in advance.

After being assigned to the same group with Benfica, PSV Eindhoven and Monaco, the Real Madrid players were celebrating in advance that the team would secure the top spot in the group and qualify.

The Real Madrid team was also quite satisfied with the draw for the Champions League group stage this season.

The three opponents seemed to be the top second-tier teams in Europe. They really couldn’t see which of the three teams could compete with Real Madrid.

Only Li Ang sang a little against the tune at this time, indicating that his teammates should not relax too much, at least they should evaluate their strength after playing with these three teams.

Although he mentioned it in a rather obscure way, many Real Madrid players also noticed the Monaco striker combination he mentioned many times.

Falcao, the “tiger” who once shined in the La Liga, and another young French player, Mbappe?

Real Madrid’s superstars still respect and recognize Falcao, after all, he is a talented player who has played against him before.

But Mbappe, at first glance, is a young player promoted to the first team by Monaco this season.

Does he know how to play in Ligue 1 now? It is really a strange thing that he can play in the Champions League at the age of 17.

For the first time, the name of Director M was remembered by a group of superstars.

Of course, as the Champions League progresses this season, his name will also be heard throughout Europe and the world.

As long as his performance can be as brilliant and amazing as Li Ang remembered…

……

On the evening of September 13, the 2016-2017 Champions League officially kicked off.

A total of 14 teams appeared in tonight’s battle.

But the only strong dialogue that attracted the attention of fans was the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal. The ratings of the other matches were basically slightly higher when there were strong teams.

After more than 90 minutes of fierce fighting, only three games were decided, and the remaining four games were tied.

In the three games that were decided, Barcelona and Bayern both slaughtered their opponents.

Both teams won by four goals, showing the super momentum of being super teams in one game.

The “Sarah and Bayern” teams made a perfect appearance, and the pressure naturally came to the remaining Real Madrid and Chelsea.

On the evening of September 14th, Real Madrid faced the challenge of PSV Eindhoven at home.

In this game, Real Madrid welcomed Pepe back from injury, but to be on the safe side, Ancelotti chose the starting central defender combination of “Ramos + Varane”.

Real Madrid’s coaching staff still chose the starting lineup of 433. Real Madrid’s new midfield trio all started, and the BBC combination also made their debut.

Just based on the paper lineup, Real Madrid has already played the strongest starting card.

On the bench, Real Madrid also has Vazquez, Nacho, Isco, Jese and other star players.

In comparison, Eindhoven’s first team lineup seems a bit “shabby”.

Li Ang looked around the court and saw that the only people on the opposite team who could name him were Luc de Jong and Guardado.

The faces of the rest of the players are relatively unfamiliar to him, and he needs to truly feel the strength of these opponents in this game.

At 19:45 Madrid time, this Champions League group match started on time at the Bernabeu.

Eindhoven, who took the first kick off, was not timid, but rather decisively launched an offensive test against Real Madrid.

Guardado, who received the back pass from his teammate, observed for a moment, and then directly sent a long pass from the backcourt, and the football went straight to Luc De Jong.

The Dutch high center is 1.89 meters tall and weighs over 85 kilograms. He is an out-and-out heavy center.

The PSV team started with him as the bridgehead, and it was an inevitable choice to launch a quick attack.

However, Real Madrid also had a response plan. Varane immediately got behind Luc De Jong, and his body was not far behind compared to De Jong.

The two ended up bumping into each other, and neither could control the football.

Luc de Jong’s forward partner Narsin wanted to grab the second point and continue to control the ball, but Liang did not give him this opportunity and decisively headed the football to the wing.

After receiving the ball, Carvajal moved forward quickly towards the PSV half.

However, the PSV team, which had lost possession of the ball at this time, was very active in defending and quickly shrunk their formation to block Real Madrid’s wing attack route.

As soon as Li Ang saw PSV’s bus posture, he trotted forward to take the ball, and then signaled his teammates to start their formation and not rush to attack.

At this moment, the coaches and starting players on both sides are observing the opponent’s formation.

Li Ang only observed for a moment and then firmed up his opinion on PSV’s tactical choice today.

In the 442 formation, the two forwards happen to be a classic partner, one tall and one fast. One of the two wings is good at offense and defense, with outstanding passing ability, and the other is strong in assisting from behind…

Then the chicken-stealing battle…the anti-counterattack tactics are definitely out of the question!

The tactic of sticking to the center and attacking from the wing is always an economical and cost-effective deal.

The two sides of Eindhoven cannot have the effect of flying together, but they are both good counterattackers. If they are used well, Real Madrid’s defense will still face a great threat.

It is actually not difficult to break such an anti-counterattack tactic, that is, “attack” from the center in the opposite direction!

The full-backs on both sides should not push forward too much. As long as they hold down PSV Eindhoven’s two full-backs, their two forwards in the center who are not outstanding in personal ability will have little use.

Ancelotti probably saw the vitality of PSV’s tactics very quickly, but before he could make any adjustments, Liang on the field took Modric and boldly pressed forward!

Marcelo and Carvajal, who received the tactical instructions, did not press forward very much, and the offensive responsibility also fell on Li Ang and Modric.

But both of them can happen to be the core of the No. 10 offense to tear apart the opponent’s defense.

So when they abandoned too many reasonable options and began to use their personal abilities to repeatedly break through the interceptions of PSV central players, the balance of the situation on the field was quickly and simply broken!

Unable to stop, the two defensive players set up by PSV in the middle of the midfield simply couldn’t stop the two men from taking turns to break through!

This is an encounter with extremely asymmetrical strength.

Liang and Modric asked for everything in PSV’s half. Once they broke through the defense, the pass they sent was a bullet that hit PSV’s defense!

Only 10 minutes into the game, Real Madrid immediately recorded four shots.

Among them, Bell’s volley from outside the penalty area even bounced directly outside the goal post and out of the baseline, almost breaking the PSV goal!

The team’s situation took a turn for the worse. Eindhoven’s head coach Cocu no longer cared about counterattacks and quickly directed the two full midfielders and shadow forwards to take up positions to participate in the defense!

With this adjustment, PSV is equivalent to directly changing the formation and playing 451, leaving only Luc de Jong in the frontcourt.

After filling up five players in the midfield to participate in the defense, PSV barely contained Real Madrid’s attack in the middle.

But before PSV coach Cocu could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Ang took the initiative to change the offensive organization method. At this time, he called on Marcelo and Carvajal to press forward and began to advance from two directions. !

Ancelotti watched from the sidelines and was so impressed that he almost laughed out loud.

Li Ang made PSV Eindhoven’s head coach disgusted.

They originally wanted to use a side counterattack tactic to contain Real Madrid’s two wings, but Li Ang pushed hard from the middle and beat PSV Eindhoven.

After many twists and turns, Real Madrid still launched a strong wing attack, while PSV could only curl up in the half court.

In short, PSV must defend in the middle, so don’t think about counterattack. If you want to counterattack, don’t think about defending in the middle!

This invisible tactical confrontation fully demonstrated Li Ang’s dominance, but he also suppressed PSV’s middle road based on his own strength.

Cocu was very angry, but he was powerless, because there was indeed no top midfielder in his team who could withstand the successive breakthroughs of Li Ang and Modric.

At this point, after the tactical blackmail completely failed, PSV could only defend with all its strength.

Otherwise, would it really ignore the goal difference factor and go out to fight Real Madrid?

That would be the real death!

PSV’s “heartfelt” defensive choice cleared the last obstacle for Real Madrid to press forward.

In the 28th minute of the first half, after a long siege, Real Madrid finally broke through PSV Eindhoven’s bus formation and took the lead 1-0 at home!

The first goal for Real Madrid in the new season of the Champions League was scored by striker Benzema.

This time he did not live up to the tactical cover that Ronaldo made for him at the front point. He received Marcelo’s cross and headed over PSV Eindhoven defender Milin!

After Real Madrid scored this goal, the morale of the entire PSV Eindhoven team also plummeted.

Although the defensive formation has not collapsed, the loopholes in PSV Eindhoven’s defense line have appeared more and more.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Li Ang advanced to PSV Eindhoven’s half and received the ball with his back.

He withstood the defensive interference of PSV Eindhoven midfielder Schwab, turned flexibly with the ball, and pretended to kick the ball directly behind the PSV Eindhoven defense line to find Benzema.

But just as Benzema decisively moved forward and took the other defensive players of PSV Eindhoven back to their positions.

Li Ang knocked the ball to Bale who had been preparing for a long time on the other side!

At the right edge of PSV Eindhoven’s penalty area, there was almost no one defending after receiving the ball?

Facing such a good opportunity to kick, Bale would naturally not miss it, and sent the ball into PSV Eindhoven’s goal again with a smooth shot!

After leading by two goals, the Real Madrid team was sure to win. Li Ang wanted to stabilize the rhythm at this time, but Marcelo, who was in good form, frequently asked for the ball.

As a result, in the fourth minute after Bale scored, Marcelo directly performed a super performance of one-on-two on the wing, and then broke into the PSV Eindhoven penalty area, and assisted Benzema to score twice with a reverse triangle pass!

Before the half-time game was over, Real Madrid had already led PSV Eindhoven 3-0!

And today’s game didn’t look like it would end with a four-goal victory.

What Real Madrid wanted was shock and slaughter!
