Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 423

c414 Real Madrid’s goal is always the championship

“I’ve said long ago that this kid will definitely suffer a big loss from Li Ang! Wasn’t Gotze more amazing than him back then? But where is Gotze now? Don’t exaggerate too much, it will backfire.”

“A flash in the pan, a flash in the pan, let’s wait and see.”

“This sounds familiar… Damn! You described Kane in the same way a few years ago. Kane is now one of the best strikers in the Premier League, and you’re still saying that he’s a flash in the pan?”

“No way, I admit that this black kid seems to have some potential, but he can’t compare with Kane in talent, right? Kane is a serious British star. Can this Mbappe reach the level of Sterling?”

“A player who can play in the Champions League at the age of 17 must have good talent. As long as he doesn’t explode after being suppressed by Li Ang today, I am optimistic about Mbappe’s future growth prospects!”

…

When Mbappe on the field was being educated by Li Ang, fans from all over the world who watched the game were also expressing their opinions.

The 17-year-old Mbappe’s performance at the beginning of today’s game was amazing. His sharp breakthrough through the side made countless fans amazed.

His talent is unquestionable. Although he was silent after being targeted by Li Ang, Mbappe still deserves the phrase “promising future”.

Even though there are some different voices mixed in, thinking that Mbappe is just so-so, more fans are still optimistic about his growth prospects.

It is clear to see how much Li Ang values ​​this kid.

There are very few offensive players who can let Li Ang go one-on-one.

In other words, when Mbappe was treated as being targeted by Li Ang, his growth potential has actually been recognized by most fans.

Back to the perspective of the Monaco players on the court, when Mbappe was locked, their first feeling was of course quite uncomfortable.

Because Mbappe is not just a simple side explosion point, he is also the second scorer in Monaco.

As Monaco’s top scorer, Falcao does not have much independent offensive ability, so he often needs Mbappe to help him contain the opponent’s defensive energy and attention.

In addition, the offensive player Bernardo Silva on the other side is better at small-scale breakthroughs and organizing offenses, and he cannot bear the tactical responsibility of burst points and forward scoring.

So now Monaco’s entire offensive system has fallen into an unbalanced embarrassing situation.

It seems that only Mbappe’s side has lost its tactical role, but in fact Monaco’s forward threats have gone at least half.

This is also a natural defect when small and medium-sized clubs build offensive systems.

In a sufficiently broad transfer market, offensive players with different technical characteristics can be combined together without spending too much money to form a forward trident with good combat power.

Monaco is still one of the luckier clubs.

In addition to the large sum of money spent on the introduction of Falcao that year, Bernardo Silva is the offensive core they spent more than 10 million to gamble, and Mbappe is an excellent youth training they have cultivated themselves.

So in the process of rebuilding the offensive system, Monaco has picked up two big bargains.

However, the forward line of the system rebuilt in this way also has the defect of “cannot be split”.

Because each forward only bears part of the offensive power, a burst point, a penalty area main scorer, and an offensive organizer.

If one of them is missing, it means that this offensive system lacks this part of the offensive function.

Just as Bernardo Silva cannot take over the tactical responsibility of the burst point from Mbappe, Mbappe cannot complete the task of offensive organization like Bernardo Silva.

At least he is not capable of this now.

Falcao can only wait for his teammates to find a way to complete the ball possession and continue to supply him with offensive artillery.

If it is Real Madrid, there will be no such trouble.

Whether Ronaldo, Benzema, or Bale are absent, the remaining two forwards can take on the tactical responsibilities of their teammates.

All three can enter the penalty area as the end point, can also pull the side as the burst point, and can even retreat to organize the offense.

So even if one of the starting strikers is missing, Real Madrid’s offensive system can still operate smoothly.

As long as a suitable substitute player is added, the offensive power can still be guaranteed.

And Real Madrid paid a transfer fee of hundreds of millions of real money for this!

Monaco does not have a strong transfer fund, so it can only bear such tactical risks.

It is okay if no one is targeting it on weekdays, but now the attack on one side is paralyzed, and they can only rely on their head coach Jardim to find a solution.

Jardim is not completely without tactical backhands, but now the game has just started, he really doesn’t want to expose the tactical chassis now.

“Maybe we can wait a little longer?”

Jardim was a little hesitant in his heart. He felt that he could give more trust to the disciples on the field and believe that they could survive at least 20 minutes of difficult time.

But it was this hesitation that Monaco failed to shrink the formation in time and unify the defensive ideas after the attack failed.

So Real Madrid quickly broke the balance of the game while increasing the counterattack.

Li Ang’s retreat and defense killed Mbappe’s performance, so Real Madrid’s counterattack direction was of course launched from the paralyzed Monaco!

Seeing the younger players of the same type shining on the field, Bale’s face was still calm, but his heart had already been hot and restless!

Real Madrid’s counterattacks were almost all handed over to the right side. Bale and Carvajal lived up to expectations and cooperated with each other in the 17th minute of the first half. In the end, Bale, who cut inside, sent a fatal pass!

After Benzema made a feint in the middle of the penalty area, Real Madrid’s killer at the end also made a shining appearance again.

Ronaldo overwhelmed Polish central defender Glik with an amazing jump height, and then used a powerful head shake to head the ball into Monaco’s goal!

Subasic raised his hand to block the ball like a French military salute. He really didn’t have a good way to face this close header. He could only say that he fulfilled his duties as a goalkeeper.

The balance of the game was broken. Ronaldo, who scored consecutive goals in the Champions League group stage, also showed his style as the king of the Champions League!

Li Ang was happy for Ronaldo from the bottom of his heart when he saw this scene, but he also couldn’t help but sigh at the inertia of fate.

Because in his memory, Ronaldo was also very slow to warm up in the La Liga this season for various reasons.

However, in the Champions League knockout rounds later, Ronaldo played bravely and finally reversed Messi to top the Champions League scorer list.

Li Ang’s impression is that the rotation method adopted by Zidane after coaching Ronaldo is equivalent to helping Ronaldo complete the transformation of his playing style again, and also extended Ronaldo’s career in disguise.

Now it seems that even if Ronaldo did not experience a major injury in the 16th European Cup final, he must take the old path of transformation because of the invasion of time.

Perhaps for Ronaldo, who is still arrogant now, such a transformation is bound to be painful.

But this rotation strategy of “light league and heavy Champions League” has indeed maximized his finishing power.

“Everyone has to accept that they are old. I just don’t know what new style of play I should adapt to when I reach the end of my career?”

When celebrating with his teammates, Li Ang couldn’t help but think of his future career.

However, thinking of the performances that Ronaldo and Modric can still show when they are close to 40 years old, Li Ang no longer hesitated…

Jardin’s tactical mistakes caused Monaco to suffer a heavy blow. This goal also made the Monaco coach give up those unrealistic fantasies and dare not hesitate too much.

Soon, Monaco took the lead in changing the formation, changing from the starting formation of 433 to the classic counter-attack 442.

Mbappe’s position also changed from left winger to second striker.

From the side to the middle, Mbappe not only broke away from Li Ang’s defense zone, but also moved closer to Falcao, so that the two could get in touch and cooperate more directly.

Bernardo Silva returned to his more familiar right midfield position.

Moutinho is on the left, he is on the right, neither of them is a wing explosive point, but both have excellent offensive organization ability.

This also greatly liberates Fabinho and Bakayoko in the middle. The two tall midfielders who do not have to bear the heavy responsibility of organization can devote more energy to intercepting in the middle and attacking forward.

With this change, Mbappe is back in the game, and Monaco has greatly strengthened the team’s counterattack ability.

Ancelotti had to applaud his opponent’s tactical change.

But, there is a problem.

Why does Jardim think that Real Madrid, which has taken the lead, will attack aggressively and give Monaco counterattack space?

Anpanman is not very interested in parking the bus in the first half of the game, but as a well-known Italian coach, his defense and counterattack skills are also very solid.

So after he made a timely tactical adjustment, Real Madrid quickly shrank the formation, opened the midfield channel, and signaled Monaco to continue their offensive performance~

This scene made most Monaco fans impatient.

Shouldn’t they pursue the victory after taking the lead? Step up your attack! You are Real Madrid, why do you play so wretchedly? !

The Meilingers were smiling in front of the TV.

Yes, you are right, but Real Madrid is playing away today and needs to show respect for the home team. Come on, it’s your turn to attack!

The players on the field of Monaco also played awkwardly.

After changing their formation, they wanted to wait for Real Madrid to strengthen their attack and then find an opportunity to counterattack.

But now Real Madrid has also put on a posture of playing defense and counterattack, so how should they play next?

It’s impossible for Real Madrid not to attack, and they themselves won’t attack, right?

Monaco’s head coach Jardim has learned the power of Ancelotti.

Seeing that the opponent was not fooled at all, Jardim had no choice but to signal the disciples on the field to take the initiative to attack!

This situation is extremely comfortable for the entire Real Madrid team.

Ancelotti didn’t need to provide any more tactical guidance. The former Mourinho Real Madrid players who had the counterattack consciousness deeply engraved in their heads knew how to deal with the opponent at this moment!

In the 36th minute of the first half, Real Madrid, who seized the opportunity of attack and defense conversion, also successfully scored another goal!

This time, Li Ang fired a long shot in the counterattack, and Benzema picked up the ball and sent it into Monaco’s goal again after the ball hit the post.

Li Ang, who unexpectedly received an assist, was very happy, and Benzema, who scored a goal, was even happier, and repeatedly told his teammates that his luck had turned.

After the start of this season, they only had one or two games to adapt, and then they started to score goals in a row. They were so lucky that they could even score goals one after another!

For Benzema, this is a good time!

Li Ang wanted to say that it was because Guo Feng was in a good mood, so he was in a good state of scoring.

But seeing Guo Feng’s excited thanks to “Zhengzhu” (anti-river crab), he shut his mouth wisely.

With a two-goal lead at halftime, Real Madrid perfectly achieved the game goal set before the game.

For the rest of the first half, Real Madrid spent the rest of the game in a shrinking formation and defending.

When the second half started, the entire Real Madrid team once again forced a start, completely disrupting Monaco’s counterattack rhythm.

The two teams launched a fierce battle for ball possession in the midfield, and it was not until the 60th minute of the second half that Real Madrid took the initiative to end the chaos and returned to the rhythm of the counterattack.

Monaco was naturally unwilling to be wasted time and completely defeated.

Most of the offensive players in their team are very young and have no physical problems at the beginning of the season.

So after the whole team determined to attack to the end, they can burst out with a strong impact force!

Fight for the ball, advance quickly, and after one round of attack, all players will participate in the fierce competition for the ball again.

Monaco’s young players seem to be tirelessly attacking Real Madrid’s solid backcourt defense.

In the chaos, Bernardo Silva hit Ramos’s calf with a small-angle volley, and the football was refracted and finally bounced into Real Madrid’s goal!

At this time, the game was in the 82nd minute of the second half. Monaco, who had scored a goal, was in high spirits and wanted to seize the last bit of time to fight for the hope of equalizing the score.

But at the critical moment, the stars of Real Madrid who were used to the storm were still able to keep their composure.

No one seemed panicked, and Real Madrid continued to consolidate its defense step by step.

However, while continuing to increase the intensity of defense, Real Madrid’s midfielders and backcourt players did not forget to seize the opportunity to counterattack.

Amid the prayers of countless Meilingges, Li Ang, who was still in good physical condition, stepped forward again. At the critical moment, he decisively kicked and snatched the ball from Mbappe’s feet during his forced breakthrough!

The counterattack also started from this moment!

Li Ang’s long pass accurately found Benzema who retreated to respond. The French center chose to head the ball and smoothly transferred the ball to Marcelo who was inserted despite the defensive interference of the opponent’s defender!

Marcelo changed direction and passed Bakayoko who was pressing forward recklessly, and then poked the ball to Ronaldo who continued to move forward.

But Ronaldo did not take the ball all the way to the end. After a little observation, he sent a ground-level slash across the width of the court!

The football quickly passed over the grass, avoiding the interception of two Monaco defenders, and successfully reached the feet of Bale on the other side.

This extremely beautiful pass made many fans in front of the TV excited at this moment!

After receiving the ball, Bale continued to dribble down the bottom line. Finally, when he was about to meet Monaco’s central defender Glik, he chose a reverse triangle pass.

The football finally rolled to the middle of the court. Two steps outside the top of the Monaco penalty area, Li Ang drew his bow and arrow, and once again fired an unreasonable heavy artillery at the goal!

He hit the goal post in the long shot attempt in the first half. This time, he no longer pursued the angle excessively, but increased the power infusion!

The football made a terrifying muffled sound in the air and whistled straight towards the Monaco goal!

Subasic could only make his own save choice subconsciously. He couldn’t observe the flight trajectory of the football because Li Ang’s heavy artillery attack was too fast!

Stretch your body and straighten your arms.

The Croatian goalkeeper felt the solid touch of the football hitting his palm in the next moment, but before he could be happy, the football was out of his control again.

“It’s out of my hand!”

Subasic’s heart sank!

Then, the passionate cheers of thousands of Real Madrid fans resounded throughout the Louis II Stadium!

“The ball is in! Li Ang! He scored an absolute world wave! Even though Subašić had already caught the ball, the terrifying power of this long shot still made the Croatian goalkeeper miss it! God! This will definitely be the most exciting goal in this round of the Champions League group stage! Li Ang’s heavy artillery shot!!!”

The commentator of Sky Sports in England was already in a climax at this moment!

Even though Li Ang no longer represents the Premier League in the Champions League, he is still willing to give Li Ang’s performance on the field a nagging praise!

After confirming the goal, Li Ang made a cool new celebration.

He first patted his strong thighs in front of the live camera, and then made a neat action of pulling the bolt!

The human cannon is well-deserved!

This ball not only blew away Subašić’s confidence in saving, but also directly blew away all Monaco players’ hopes of equalizing!

Li Ang’s long shot was really fierce.

After the celebration with his teammates, Li Ang could even feel the resentment in the eyes of the young players of Monaco.

It seems that Li Ang has really impressed these young players in today’s “education class”~

The remaining game time is no longer difficult for Real Madrid, and soon, after two minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game!

With two consecutive wins in the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid has firmly established its position as the first in the group.

No matter what the final result of the other side’s game is, Real Madrid can lead the second in the group by one win.

Such a result makes the whole Real Madrid team feel happy.

When accepting the congratulations and interviews from reporters after the game, Li Ang did not hide anything and directly revealed the team’s ambitious goal for this season.

“We are eager for the championship, whether it is La Liga or the Champions League, because we represent Real Madrid, and Real Madrid’s goal is always the championship!”
