Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 428

c419 What bumblebee, just call us little bees

“C Ronaldo’s shot choice this time was quite smart! Beautiful running and goal! Of course, we must also praise Li Ang’s previous perfect operation. He completely emptied Atletico’s last line of defense. The two’s passing and running cooperation was really tacit!”

“Atletico played very hard today. Ancelotti chose to let Real Madrid be more passive in defense and counterattack. In this way, it was difficult for Atletico to counterattack Real Madrid today. After the offensive and defensive situation changed, Atletico’s offensive tactical shortcomings were exposed!

A passive rhythm, Atletico has to compete with Real Madrid in areas they are not good at. It is difficult to play the game rhythm they are good at. Simeone needs to adjust the team’s tactical thinking as soon as possible. They are too passive now!”

After the commentator of the Spanish Movistar Sports Channel finished his passionate praise for C Ronaldo, he quickly analyzed the problem of Atletico’s current passive game rhythm from a tactical level.

In fact, many old fans who are used to watching the La Liga can now see the root of Atletico’s problem.

That is, after Real Madrid took over the passive counter-attack role in the game, Atletico, who always preferred to play counter-attack, became unable to play football.

This is also the fundamental reason why Atletico, which had just risen in those years, was beaten every time it met Mourinho’s Real Madrid.

As long as Real Madrid, which is also good at counter-attack, can lower its face to deal with Atletico, Atletico’s chance of winning is really not great.

Ancelotti actually understands this truth. When he took over Mourinho’s position, he spent a lot of time studying Mourinho’s three-year transformation process of Real Madrid.

But before this season, he paid too much attention to the feelings of Real Madrid’s top management and the views of Real Madrid fans on his tactics.

So many times, he passively chose to play “beautiful football”.

Until he realized the truth that Mourinho realized when he was exhausted in his first season at Real Madrid.

Blindly showing goodwill to fans and club executives may temporarily stabilize his position as coach.

But when this good guy could not bring a heavyweight championship to Real Madrid, Real Madrid’s decision to abandon him would only quickly gain the support of all Real Madrid fans!

So Anpan, who was forced into a desperate situation and basically only had this last season to prove himself, could not care so much.

Of course, a good game scene is what he pursues.

But winning, especially winning in a strong dialogue, is what he values ​​most now, and it is also the only way for him to get back on the road to success.

Fortunately, he did not make a wrong bet this time!

The great success of suppressing Barcelona won him the praise of all Spanish media and Real Madrid executives.

And the result of defeating Atletico Madrid in the first half of the game made him more determined to arrange his tactical plan flexibly!

After coming to Real Madrid for three years, he and this Real Madrid team have not won any other championship trophies except for the King’s Cup.

The top four of the Champions League and the second place in the league may also be an honor for other powerful teams.

But for Real Madrid, such results are not ranked in the club’s history.

Perhaps the past three seasons have been a waste of time for Ancelotti and this group of Real Madrid players who are still at the peak of their careers.

But this season, with the return of Li Ang, they have seen the possibility of winning everything again!

Ancelotti also has his own ambitions. After leaving AC Milan, he has not won the Champions League trophy, which symbolizes the pinnacle of honor for European clubs, for a long time.

In the past, there were always problems of this or that kind in other clubs, and it was indeed very difficult to win the championship.

But this time, at least in this season, he did see great hope. He wanted to let the whole of Europe sing his name again, and he wanted to win everything!

…

After the same passionate celebration with Zidane, Ancelotti did not waste time and sat in the coaching seat in advance to arrange the tactical arrangements for the second half.

At this moment, Ancelotti directly handed over the task of giving the Real Madrid players on the field a boost to their blood to Zidane.

On weekdays, he always appears in front of the media and Real Madrid stars as a good guy.

He is easy to talk to and doesn’t care much about the players’ private lives, so it’s better to say that everyone likes his personality and is willing to give him face rather than saying that the players of Real Madrid’s first team obey him and listen to him.

Zidane, his deputy, is just the opposite in this regard.

Zidane has a lot of say in the Real Madrid locker room.

Perhaps Zidane is also very gentle in front of the public, but in the locker room, as long as he gets serious, no one will dare to fight him!

So when it is generally necessary to arrange more defensive drills for the players, Ancelotti will give the task of urging the quality of training to Zidane.

Including now letting the Real Madrid players on the field put more energy into consolidating the defense.

With Zidane standing on the sidelines as the “supervisor”, Ancelotti believes that all the Real Madrid stars on the field will seriously complete their defensive tasks.

This can also be regarded as the wisdom of Ancelotti in using people~

Zidane certainly understands the coaching role he is playing now, and he has no dissatisfaction.

After all, such on-the-spot experience is rare, which helps him to reserve more command experience before becoming a real head coach.

As the former “world’s best midfielder”, Zidane’s keen observation of the game situation is unquestionable.

Li Ang originally wanted to stay back and play as a defensive midfielder with Casemiro to protect the penalty area.

As a result, Zidane directly signaled him to move forward to the midline area.

And through Zidane’s simple tactical gestures, Li Ang also understood that his super-famous assistant coach wanted him to continue to suppress Koke’s performance!

“Force them to continue to play from the wing, don’t let Koke advance, let Griezmann go to the side!”

A few simple shouts and reminders made the Real Madrid players in the midfield and backcourt understand the team’s tactical tasks at this stage.

Li Ang had no objections. After a little thought, he understood the correctness of Zidane’s tactical fine-tuning.

Excessive contraction of the defense line also gives Atletico’s midfield core a chance to play.

You know, before being completely transformed into a super engineer by Simeone, Koke was hailed as the first successor to Habe in the Spanish national team!

His talent and talent have been recognized by all Spanish fans.

If he really lets him play freely and get a stable connection with Griezmann, then no defense in the current football world dares to guarantee that he will not fail.

Therefore, it is necessary to expand the defense zone, and it is even more necessary to further keep an eye on the only core of Atletico’s midfield!

There is no problem with Li Ang’s tactical execution. He quickly entangled Koke, forcing the opponent to transfer the offensive organization to the wing again.

Carrasco’s strong breakthrough ability did not have much effect in front of Real Madrid’s bus formation.

Saul and Griezmann wanted to cooperate with their teammates patiently, but in the face of the resolute pressure fouls of Real Madrid’s defense, they could only pull to the wing to act as a crosser.

The last bit of time in the first half of the game was consumed by Atletico’s continuous long pass and lob offensive attempts.

When Pepe left the court, his entire forehead was red, and he seemed to be complaining to his teammates that Atletico’s crosses were too many!

This scene made many fans in front of the live camera laugh.

Of course, Atletico’s supporters must not laugh at this time.

They are only worried that the team will not find a good way to break the deadlock in the second half.

Even if they know that Real Madrid is going to play defense and counterattack, how can Atletico respond?

Almost all the offensive tactics that can be used were used up in the first half. With Torres being the only striker left, Atletico Madrid could not further strengthen the threat of heading by substitutions!

Atletico Madrid fans who know that their team’s bench is not deep enough this season will be even more uncomfortable.

Soon, the second half of the game officially started.

Just as many Atletico Madrid fans worried, Simeone did not take any substitutions, and the Atletico Madrid players on the field could only think of set-piece tactics.

Griezmann suffered a lot today.

In the first half of the game, he was targeted by Li Ang and played mediocrely. In the second half of the game, Li Ang didn’t care much about him, but his breakthroughs with the ball were always intercepted by other Real Madrid players!

To ​​put it bluntly, this is a tactical foul.

Real Madrid is not only not afraid of Atletico Madrid’s set-piece tactics, but also takes the initiative to give Atletico Madrid the opportunity to set-piece in the frontcourt!

More importantly, Atletico Madrid really can’t take advantage of Real Madrid in the frontcourt set-pieces!

Just over ten minutes into the second half, Atletico Madrid had two set-pieces and two corner kicks in Real Madrid’s half.

As a result, the football kicked out by Atletico Madrid was grabbed by Real Madrid’s defenders three times!

Atletico Madrid only got a little bit of the ball in one corner kick opportunity, but Godin could only barely complete the header in the tough confrontation with Ramos, and the ball finally went out of the goal frame.

This embarrassing situation made the Atletico fans at the scene really anxious.

Simeone couldn’t sit still, and called the two forwards Correa and Gameiro on the bench to warm up quickly.

Five minutes later, Simeone finally made the first substitution of the game today.

His courage was still not a problem. He directly replaced two forwards and replaced Carrasco and Saul, who performed poorly today.

Then Atletico Madrid also completed the change of formation and directly changed to a more radical 424!

Griezmann and Torres stood in parallel, forming a double striker, Correa and Gameiro were on the wing, and only Koke and Gabi were left in the middle of the midfield!

After this change, Atletico’s offensive power in the frontcourt was strengthened.

But Simeone’s risky adjustment also further weakened his own midfield and backcourt defense.

Real Madrid is not in a hurry to counterattack at this moment.

Before the new season, Real Madrid’s first team, which had a devilish training and usually paid more attention to physical reserves, has gradually shown its physical advantage in the league and the Champions League.

Atletico’s attack was fierce, but Real Madrid’s control and defense seemed very calm.

Li Ang continued to press Koke and Gabi’s ball space in the midfield area. Atletico’s offensive organization was always without the participation of the midfield core, which seemed very incoherent.

This kind of strong attack initiated from the wing and with a broken rhythm was not very threatening, but it consumed a lot of physical energy of Atletico’s frontcourt players.

So until the 75th minute of the second half, most of the players on the field of Atletico Madrid slowed down significantly.

Real Madrid finally waited for the perfect opportunity to win the game!

Atletico Madrid slowed down, but they all sped up!

In just five minutes, Real Madrid made three quick counterattacks!

In the 81st minute of the second half, Isco, who came on as a substitute, passed Gabi on the way to the counterattack, and then passed the ball to Li Ang, who easily broke into the Atletico penalty area and scored another goal!

Courtois thought that Li Ang would attack from three directions this time, so he prepared to go to the ground in advance.

But he didn’t expect Li Ang to shoot a violent volley directly in the penalty area!

Another style contrast, Courtois almost doubted his life when he saw Li Ang celebrating far away.

And this goal directly eliminated all the suspense of the game!

At Atletico Madrid won 3-0 at its home ground!

The control of the game and the targeting of the opponent’s tactical arrangement shown by Real Madrid made the supporters of other European giants uneasy.

And the topic of Real Madrid’s strong victory over Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, two league competitors, continued directly to the new round of international match days.

As the progress of the World Cup qualifiers progressed, the news that Bale and Carvajal were injured in the national team made the fans of other giants feel relieved.

“Two main players are injured, and Real Madrid’s first team has to face the FIFA virus. They can’t be so strong next time, right?”

Many neutral fans hold such thoughts, and many of them even hope to see Real Madrid’s performance collapse in the next tight schedule.

But on November 19, in the twelfth round of La Liga after the international match day, the players of Real Madrid’s “second team” slapped the faces of these fans who were ready to have fun!

James and Li Ang scored, Asensio scored twice, and Isco assisted and scored twice!

Real Madrid beat Leganes 4-0 at home, and used a home carnival to repay the trust and support of the Meilingges for them!

And this is just the beginning of another winning streak for Real Madrid.

In the fifth round of the Champions League group stage that followed, the “Real Madrid second team” led by Li Ang ushered in the challenge of Monaco at home.

In this round of games, Real Madrid’s overall suppression of Monaco was not very successful, but fortunately, the old brothers Li Ang and Nacho still restricted Mbappe’s performance.

Monaco was a burst of their rhythm and tactical style.

But Real Madrid relied on its stronger offensive firepower to finally “dunk” the winning goal and won the fifth victory of the Champions League group stage in the new season at home 3-2!

Li Ang only contributed one counterattack assist in this game, but his suppression performance on the defensive end made him once again win the honor of the best player of the game.

However, after the game, Li Ang did not express his happiness about winning, but praised Mbappe’s development prospects in front of reporters.

He encouraged the young striker who did not play a brilliant performance against Real Madrid, or against him.

For other young Monaco players, especially Bonado Silva who scored today, Li Ang was not stingy with his praise.

“They definitely have a bright future. Well, maybe this season, they will surprise the world!

I am really optimistic that they can enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season. This is not a compliment. You can see that they almost pushed us to the brink in this game.

They may lack a little experience, but don’t forget that young teams are often the easiest to create miracles…”

Li Ang’s high praise quickly won him the favor of many Monaco players.

The media may not care much about what Li Ang said, thinking that he still overestimated the talents of these young players.

But just wait until March next year, when Monaco really breaks into the quarterfinals of the Champions League again, the reporters who interviewed Li Ang today will definitely regret it.

Regret not going all-in with Li Ang and be optimistic about the future of this Monaco!

…

Just after the team won two consecutive victories, the main players of Real Madrid’s first team were also free from fatigue and gradually regained their form on the training ground.

Ancelotti once again tasted the sweetness of rotation, which also made him more determined to adopt scientific rotation in the subsequent tight schedule.

On November 26, the main players of Real Madrid’s first team staged a king’s return in the 13th round of La Liga.

Facing Sporting Gijon who came to the Bernabeu to challenge, the well-rested Real Madrid stars directly gave their opponents a cruel massacre with a net win of seven goals!

The score of 8-1 made other mid- and lower-level teams in La Liga shudder!

And the lost goal was the only warmth left by Real Madrid to Sporting Gijon, a relegation team.

On December 3, Real Madrid, with a big win, faced the “yellow submarine” Villarreal at home.

As the “La Liga Arsenal” last season, Villarreal is undoubtedly a strong team that can pose a threat to Real Madrid.

At present, they are ranked 4th in La Liga with a record of 7 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, and their state is good.

Perhaps it was this result that gave the Villarreal team confidence, leading them to fight Real Madrid in the Bernabeu.

But after only surviving the first half hour of the game, Villarreal could no longer keep up with Real Madrid’s fierce offensive rhythm!

At the end of the first half, Villarreal was 1-2 behind Real Madrid, and the score difference was not big.

But at the end of the game, Villarreal had to swallow the bitter fruit of a 1-4 defeat!

Ronaldo finally found his normal state in front of the goal in this game, scoring twice with his head and feet, and his performance was quite eye-catching.

Benzema and Isco, who replaced Bale in the starting lineup, each scored a goal, and Li Ang assisted and scored twice.

Several attacking players in Real Madrid’s frontcourt all had their data recorded, and everyone was happy.

After this tight schedule, Real Madrid’s first-team main players had plenty of rest time.

Because they had already won five consecutive group games and qualified as the first team in advance, in the last round of the Champions League group stage, Ancelotti chose to lead the second team players to challenge PSV Eindhoven, who was at the bottom of the group.

This game did not mean much to Real Madrid, but thanks to James’s outbreak, Real Madrid finally won 2-1 away from home against PSV Eindhoven.

Winning six consecutive Champions League group games is an ideal “start” for the entire Real Madrid team and Real Madrid fans.

After a 3-0 victory over Deportivo La Coruna and 15 consecutive wins in the new season’s league, Real Madrid finally faced the first round of severe challenges in the Champions League knockout stage.

Looking at the familiar team logo, Li Ang and Ronaldo couldn’t help but laugh.

After the draw ceremony, many Real Madrid fans also ran to the official Twitter of the first round opponent to say hello in a friendly manner. After all, they are old rivals~

Dortmund.

Real Madrid has played against Dortmund many times in recent years. Mourinho’s Real Madrid always beat Dortmund from the group stage to the semi-finals. Of course, Dortmund and Real Madrid also fought back after being drawn into the same group.

The two teams have won and lost in the Champions League, with Real Madrid only slightly better. The fans of both sides have gone from tit-for-tat to playing with feelings, and the exchanges are very friendly.

However, this time, Dortmund’s fans responded with a wry smile.

“Don’t call us the Hornets, just call us the Little Bees. We are down and out now, and this round of draw is really unlucky…”
