Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 418

c409 The mountain pressing on all Barcelona players

To be honest, the Spanish national derby in recent years has become less and less interesting.

The attention is still the highest in the world, and the topic of the battle between Messi and Ronaldo is also enduring.

But compared with the “La Liga” period from 2010 to 2013 when Real Madrid and Barcelona took turns to dominate Europe.

The quality of the current Spanish national derby has not only declined, but the excitement of the scene is also much less than before.

In addition, Real Madrid has returned to the vicious circle of more losses than wins against Barcelona in the La Liga in the past three seasons. The outcome of the game has almost lost suspense. How can neutral fans buy it?

It was not until this time that Li Ang made a provocative speech before the national derby that more neutral fans were convinced:

The Spanish national derby that they once looked forward to and always contributed to the hot scenes seems to be really coming back!

Let’s put aside whether the quality of the game is up to standard. At least the gunpowder smell before the game is so strong that they are satisfied!

Look at the Catalan media who exploded and fought back under the stimulation of Li Ang’s speech.

Li Ang has once again ignited the flames of public opinion war, and he doesn’t seem to care how to stop such public opinion disputes.

Just like his attitude of never giving in to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and only fighting to the end!

He is like an old-school player born in the 70s or 80s, eager for the baptism of the derby, and even more eager to break the opponent’s psychological defense in such a big battle, stimulate the opponent’s fans, and take away their points!

Players like them often become brightly colored “flags” in the derby.

Their own fans love them very much, and as fans of the enemy, they wish they would break their legs directly on the court!

Li Ang is a typical flag player.

How much the Melcos love him, how much Barcelona fans hate him!

This hatred will not fade away in the precipitation of years, but will only deepen in the recollection of past related battles over and over again.

Because the team they support has never won against Li Ang!

Real Madrid, with Li Ang in the starting lineup, is indeed qualified to be arrogant to Barcelona.

The historical record has already explained everything.

Barcelona’s current players can talk about the winning rate against Real Madrid in recent years, but they cannot deny that Li Ang’s return has indeed caused them a lot of psychological pressure.

This pressure comes not only from Li Ang’s unbeaten record against Barcelona when he was in Real Madrid, but also from the several massacres that Li Ang later led Chelsea to play against Barcelona!

So much so that when Li Ang took the lead, only Pique stood up and verbally counterattacked Li Ang in the Barcelona team.

This is a very embarrassing reality.

Fortunately, the rest period between the 4th and 5th rounds of the La Liga league is very short, and Barcelona fans don’t have to be embarrassed for too long.

Real Madrid and Barcelona only rested for three days before welcoming the fateful duel of the fifth round of the new season at the Camp Nou!

Playing at home should have given many Barcelona fans psychological comfort.

At least when Li Ang came out for warm-up, he could feel that the Barcelona fans at Camp Nou were still very confident when they booed.

It had been a long time since they last met, so Li Ang couldn’t express his “missing” of the Barcelona fans too enthusiastically.

He simply smiled and worked harder to complete the warm-up.

But Li Ang didn’t know that his hard work in warming up made the Barcelona fans at the scene feel nervous.

After the warm-up, Li Ang looked at the Camp Nou, which seemed to have calmed down a little, and subconsciously picked his ears.

He was really not nervous, at least compared to his old Real Madrid brothers, he really didn’t have any special feelings about Barcelona.

If he had to describe it, he could only say that Barcelona was the opponent he was familiar with and the one who often gave him warmth in the Champions League…

This sounds a bit Versailles, but it is also an indisputable fact.

As for Messi, who many Catalan media had high hopes for before the game?

Well, Li Ang absolutely respects Messi’s performance on the court, but since he moved to Chelsea, he has never lost to Messi on the court!

At worst, just keep exchanging!

Just like Mourinho always has a way to deal with Barcelona, ​​Li Ang always has a way to deal with Messi on the court.

And Li Ang is looking forward to it today. He is looking forward to whether Messi can still play the performance that ignored the defensive intensity in the past under his targeted defense?

If Messi can’t explode today, then the number of matches he lost to him will be added to the previous one~

…

On the evening of September 21, the Spanish national derby, which came earlier than in previous seasons, officially kicked off at the Camp Nou Stadium!

In the new season, Real Madrid and Barcelona have both won all the games in the first four rounds of La Liga. At present, Real Madrid is temporarily ahead of Barcelona with a goal difference advantage and ranks first in La Liga.

So this round of the derby between the two teams is also a key “six-point battle”.

Whoever wins will have the absolute initiative to lead in the early stage of the league!

Real Madrid used the most commonly used and most effective 433 starting formation this season.

Barcelona also played 433, but their front trident did not have a traditional forward center.

After Paco was injured, Barcelona coach Valverde directly moved Turan to the center position.

Turan, who was the core of the wing organization in Atletico Madrid, certainly could not have thought that he would become a piece of the puzzle after transferring to Barcelona, ​​and he would be put in wherever there was a shortage of people.

He must be reluctant to play as a center forward, and he doesn’t have the ability to compete with the strong central defenders in La Liga.

But there is no way, who made him have a relatively low tactical position in the current Barcelona team?

When Messi made it clear that he didn’t want to play in the middle, Valverde had to sacrifice him so that Messi and Neymar could play more comfortably.

Li Ang didn’t know what to say after seeing Barcelona’s starting 11.

In the past few years, Barcelona has been defeated in the Champions League. The continuous failures should actually make the Barcelona executives realize that:

The no-striker formation is really lacking in stability. If it is not used well, it is not used well. Forcing it will only bring constant trouble to the coaching staff.

But Barcelona’s executives don’t know what’s going on over the years. After spending a lot of money to bring Neymar, they have been slow to recruit players in the center position.

They are not stingy, but the recruitment targets set for the team in each summer window are too unrealistic.

They will go to the rich Manchester City to dig Aguero, and if they can’t dig him, they will compete with Chelsea for Suarez.

Cavani did recommend himself, but the media in Catalonia soon broke the news that Barcelona’s top management disliked Cavani’s poor skills and did not fit Barcelona’s temperament…

The center forwards that Barcelona’s top management liked were all very strong and seemed to be suitable for Barcelona’s tactical system.

But the key is that he has money and tactical status in his current team, so there is no reason for him to abandon everything and run to your Barcelona team to start all over again.

It’s not easy to find a top center forward in football who is interested in your Barcelona, ​​but you dislike his technical type that does not meet Barcelona’s requirements.

The way this was done highlights an unprofessionalism!

Anyway, Li Ang thinks that if he were a member of Barcelona’s management, he would definitely solve the problem of whether the team has a reliable center forward first.

After solving this problem, he will continue to patiently look for a better top center forward who is more suitable for Barcelona.

Valverde is also very miserable. After being fooled into taking over Enrique’s job at Barcelona, ​​he found that the signings were not loose and free at all.

Basically, he has no power to recruit players, and can only play according to the situation. If the team lineup is flawed and cannot play hard games, he will be criticized in the end.

In Li Ang’s view, the current Barcelona has an advantage in playing in the familiar La Liga, but the ability to play hard games is really not good.

He also couldn’t figure out why Real Madrid couldn’t beat Barcelona in the La Liga in the past few years.

Maybe it’s really the restraint of metaphysics.

Barcelona beat Real Madrid, Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona.

The current three strong teams in the Spanish Super League have indeed formed an internal restraint attribute closed loop!

While Li Ang was complaining about the strange restraint relationship between the three teams in the Spanish Super League in his heart, he shook hands with all the Barcelona players with a calm expression before the game.

He no longer represents Chelsea. As a member of Real Madrid, he can’t continue to “chat and laugh” with the familiar Barcelona players before the game with Barcelona.

The live camera soon captured the scene of Li Ang’s serious expression.

Many neutral fans felt goose bumps all over their bodies when watching the live screen.

Li Ang exposed his “hostility” towards Barcelona.

The strong boos from Barcelona fans at the scene further aggravated the tension between the two teams before the game!

This is exactly what most fans who watched the Spanish national derby tonight wanted to see.

Conflict, opposition, hostility, toughness!

If the two teams had players butting heads and fighting each other during the game, it would be even more exciting!

Thinking of this, many fans looked at the famous villains in the starting players of the two teams in the live broadcast.

Ramos, Pepe, Casemiro, Alves, Mascherano…

Oh, yes, and Li Ang!

Although Li Ang didn’t get many cards in La Liga, he was definitely one of the players who appeared most in the game against Barcelona!

“Which Barcelona player will Li Ang give a warning to today?!”

As the referee’s whistle sounded, many fans watching in front of the TV also had such a question in their hearts.

Fortunately, Li Ang didn’t let them wait too long.

The game had just started for 18 seconds. Turan, who received the ball with his back to the goalkeeper and tried to turn around to play, was tackled by Li Ang from the wing!

The Turkish striker was kicked out of the sideline with the ball. Neymar, who was waiting to receive the ball beside him, seemed dumbfounded. The referee on duty also stopped the game!

The Barcelona players who were closer rushed up and shouted exaggeratedly to the referee that Li Ang had just committed an extremely bad foul!

However, Li Ang didn’t buy their tricks. He spread his hands and pushed hard, confidently asking them to call Barcelona’s team doctor to check and see if Turan was really injured.

The referee was close to the scene of the incident, so he could see Li Ang’s tackle clearly.

There is no doubt that Li Ang definitely tackled the ball first, and then brought Turan’s calf, and Turan’s exaggerated jump and rolling out of the sideline was also a bit exaggerated.

According to the rules, he could not call a foul on Li Ang, because Li Ang did tackle the ball first, and there was no additional malicious action.

But if the penalty was more strict, he could also call Li Ang’s defensive action too big.

In the end, after a little consideration, the referee gave face to the Camp Nou home team and called Li Ang’s tackle foul.

But he simply ignored the protests of more Barcelona players on the field, and the suggestions that they wanted to show Leon a yellow card.

Leon smiled with satisfaction after watching the referee give a fair penalty.

He nodded in disdain, indicating that Lan should stop pretending and get up from the grass, while making tactical gestures to other teammates beside him and slowly retreating.

Casemiro, who was eager to try, suppressed his passion for fighting after seeing Leon’s gesture, and retreated to his position with Leon’s rhythm.

The other Real Madrid players on the field also had a plan in mind.

The big defensive attempt made by Leon at the beginning of the game was to test the referee’s whistle scale today.

Now it seems that the referee will give Barcelona some consideration at home, but it can also be regarded as encouraging big confrontations between the two sides.

With this information, Real Madrid’s subsequent defensive aggressiveness can be better controlled…

The game soon resumed. I don’t know if they were fooled by Li Ang’s fierce defense at the beginning. Several Barcelona frontcourt players subconsciously avoided Li Ang’s defense zone when trying to break through.

However, they soon discovered that it was not just Li Ang in Real Madrid today. Several other defensive players were also very relaxed in their confrontations.

You know, Barcelona’s offensive penetration emphasizes fluency.

If the offense is not coherent, the state will not come out for a long time. But today’s referee seems to support both teams to play freely?

Isn’t that a disadvantage for Barcelona!

Several old hands in Barcelona are good at doing some hidden tricks under strict rules.

But they can’t compete with Real Madrid in a fair physical confrontation!

Dissatisfaction has been accumulating since the beginning of the game.

Facing the fragmented rhythm of the game, Barcelona’s players on the field complained to the referee again and again.

The Barcelona fans at the scene even booed wildly!

Unfortunately, none of their actions could shake the referee’s determination to whistle today.

Real Madrid has taken a big advantage, but to be honest, the large scale of the whistle applies to both teams. If Barcelona can’t play with the body now, it’s not the referee and Real Madrid’s fault!

Li Ang is like a fish in water in such an environment.

In the seventh minute of the first half, he first pulled to the side to help Carvajal make up for the defense, and directly squeezed out Neymar who was advancing with the ball, and returned the ball to Modric’s feet.

One minute later, facing Messi who seized the opportunity of attack and defense conversion and counterattacked with the ball, Li Ang judged Messi’s change of direction rhythm in the front interception, and kicked the ball again accurately!

Messi waved his hand helplessly. He didn’t expect Li Ang to be so brave that he dared to kick and steal the ball confidently in a one-on-one confrontation with him!

But he also ignored a cruel fact, that is, as he grew older, his ability to force a breakthrough has been declining year by year.

His dribbling speed and ability to change direction quickly are not as good as before, but Li Ang’s defensive awareness and experience are still growing!

As one grows, the other shrinks, and Li Ang will only gain more and more advantages in the competition with him.

At this moment, watching Li Ang successively cut off the ball from Neymar and Messi, all the Barcelona players on the scene felt great pressure in their hearts.

They have seen the difficulty of winning this game.

They also saw a silent and towering mountain lying in front of the Real Madrid defense line!
