Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 438

c427 Before playing the knockout match with Bayern, we must first

“Has UEFA lost its mind this year? Real Madrid will play Bayern, and Chelsea will play Atletico Madrid. If you are not careful, it could easily capsize. I saw how much publicity expenses UEFA would have lost if Real Madrid had not played Chelsea in the final!”

“It’s not that exaggerated. Bayern and Atletico Madrid are no longer as strong as before. I think the gap between these two teams and Real Madrid and Chelsea is still quite big. As long as Mourinho and Ancelotti arrange their tactics correctly, they will still not be able to pass the test.” questionable.”

“UEFA won’t want to send Monaco this year and let this dark horse be blacked out, right? They actually let them be drawn to Leicester City! If this really allows Monaco to enter the Champions League semi-finals, then this year’s summer window will have to do it again. It’s getting lively.”

“So what if they make it to the semi-finals? Monaco can’t afford to make waves. The days of relying on a group of kids to win the Champions League will never come back. I’m more optimistic about Juventus, who have failed several times before, but have become more stable and sophisticated because of it. They The defense did really well this year…”

When the draw results for the Champions League quarter-finals came out, fans from all over the world expressed their opinions on the format of the match, and some fans even made new promotion predictions.

In comparison, Li Ang’s work on social media this year has not been very popular among the fans.

After all, he has to recuperate before the war at this time every year. Fans love to watch, but they can’t help but watch him alone every year. No matter how good he is, he will get tired of watching too much.

There is also the showdown between Real Madrid and Bayern, or the number of times Li Ang and Bayern have met. There have been too many in recent seasons, and fans are tired of watching them.

Monaco has made it all the way to the top 16 of the Champions League, and its dark horse trip to the quarter-finals of the Champions League has obviously attracted more attention from fans at this time.

And football rookies like Mbappe, Bernardo Silva, and Bakayoko who have become famous have also brought more freshness to the fans.

Especially Mbappe, when this supernova who just turned 18 years old scored in three consecutive Champions League knockout games, his amazing performance has quickly attracted the attention of major wealthy teams!

It was also at this time that many fans recalled Li Ang’s extremely high evaluation of the young French player at the beginning of the season.

At that time, I don’t know how many people were making fun of Monaco because they really had no money to sign players, so they let such a 17-year-old boy serve as the team’s main winger.

Li Ang’s comments at the time were also understood by many fans as that he was defending a player who is a fan of Real Madrid and Ronaldo.

But looking back now, looking at Li Ang’s “accurate” evaluation of Mbappe, fans can only lament the metaphysical magic of Li Ang’s mouth.

And on March 17, when Li Ang and Ancelotti attended the pre-match press conference for the 28th round of La Liga.

There are still reporters asking Li Ang about his views on Mbappe’s future development. This kind of question has nothing to do with La Liga.

Li Ang was obviously stunned for a moment at the press conference, but then he still smiled and gave his answer.

“Kylian is going to be a flag player for French football sooner or later, I think I said that a few months ago and you just have to see what he does on the pitch to know I’m not kidding.

He scored a Champions League goal at the age of 17, and scored in three consecutive Champions League knockout games at the age of 18. He is a natural big-game player…”

Li Ang’s optimistic and positive evaluation of Mbappe naturally made the reporter who asked the question quite satisfied.

And when he was asked again about his opinion on UEFA arranging Real Madrid and Bayern to fight together, Li Ang once again expressed his confidence in the team’s advancement.

“I respect Bayern Munich and all the teams participating in this year’s Champions League, but there is no doubt that the winner will only be Real Madrid. I have no doubt about it!”

Li Ang’s frank answer made the reporters at the scene immediately excited. Ancelotti looked a little helpless, but he did not stop Li Ang from expressing his determination to win the championship.

After Li Ang spoke like this, it is certain that external public opinion will add pressure to Real Madrid.

But for Real Madrid’s experienced stars, the pressure at this moment is also a great motivation for them to work hard and move forward.

Athletic Bilbao is undoubtedly another tough stumbling block for Real Madrid on the way forward in the league, but this tough team can also help Real Madrid sharpen its blade.

On the afternoon of March 18, Real Madrid, a guest at the San Mames Stadium, turned away and took advantage of Athletic Bilbao’s tough defense to sharpen their offensive blade.

Real Madrid should have chosen a more steady style of play in this league.

Because Athletic Bilbao’s defensive will at home is quite resolute, and their counterattack is quite threatening. Real Madrid’s early choice to press heavily gave Athletic Bilbao more space to counterattack.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Athletic Bilbao seized the opportunity to switch offense and defense after taking enough defensive risks, and Raul Garcia scored a counterattack goal!

Aduriz’s header in Real Madrid’s penalty area was crucial.

This old center who doesn’t look too tall or fast enough has extremely strong fulcrum ability.

The Athletic Bilbao team’s tactical execution was quite good. Facing Real Madrid’s heavy pressure, they were able to withstand the pressure and score the first goal. This is enough to prove their defensive tenacity and resolute counterattack.

However, no player on Real Madrid’s side seemed panicked.

Since we have chosen a more proactive offensive style, we must be prepared for the opponent to score first.

And it was just a lost ball, and this situation could not shake the Real Madrid players’ determination to win!

After the restart, Li Ang did not choose to stabilize the position or control the field first, he continued to organize and deliver the offensive ball forward.

After all, before the start of today’s game, the coaching staff had already formulated a tactical tone to play more proactively.

At this moment, Ancelotti did not give a signal to the players on the field to consolidate the defense first, so what Li Ang had to do was to implement the coaching staff’s tactical plan to the end, and unify the tactical thinking of the whole team.

Seeing that Li Ang still chose to attack to the end, the other Real Madrid players on the field felt at ease, and did not think about it, and continued to press forward with all their strength, high pressure!

With Li Ang and Modric working together to deliver the ball, Real Madrid’s offensive rhythm is getting faster and faster.

And with the increase in the number of offensive rounds, the Real Madrid striker will of course get more and more opportunities to shoot.

Maybe it is because they have been getting older in recent years, and the BBC combination is becoming more and more “slow to warm up” in the game.

In the first 20 minutes, when Real Madrid was pressing Bilbao Athletic, Li Ang and other midfield partners had actually created more offensive opportunities.

But Ronaldo and Bale always lacked a little feeling in front of the goal, let alone Guo Feng, who couldn’t even find the right shot today.

When he performed a close-range grab in the opponent’s penalty area in the first two minutes, Li Ang knew that he could not count on Guo Feng today.

Fortunately, these old brothers of his family, although they are slow to warm up in the game now, can still warm up.

With more shooting attempts, Ronaldo and Bale’s state is obviously warming up quickly.

Li Ang was not in a hurry to pass the ball directly to the two, because the target would be too obvious, and Athletic Bilbao also knew how to defend in a targeted manner.

So Li Ang quickly used tactical gestures to signal Benzema to withdraw from the penalty area to get the ball, involving the Athletic Bilbao defense line.

Guo Feng was not very reliable in shooting today, but he did not disappoint Li Ang in getting the ball.

Several back passes and lateral passes were handled very beautifully, so Li Ang and Bale both got a chance to shoot outside the penalty area.

The defenders of Athletic Bilbao had to strengthen their defense against Benzema.

Real Madrid played patiently until the 38th minute of the first half.

Li Ang received Bale’s back pass at this time, dribbled horizontally in the middle, looking for a chance to pass the ball.

Athletic Bilbao’s midfielder Iturraspe was very active in close confrontation with Li Ang.

His defense looked very successful, because Li Ang chose to protect the ball first, and then waved to Benzema to pull out of the penalty area to receive the ball.

Athletic Bilbao’s central defender Laporta followed out of the penalty area very resolutely this time, just to destroy Benzema’s possibility of getting the ball as soon as possible.

But Li Ang suddenly exerted force in the next moment, squeezed Iturraspe away, and used his left foot to quickly rub the football to the middle of Athletic Bilbao’s penalty area!

A bad thought suddenly flashed through Laporta’s mind.

He looked back, only to see that Ronaldo, who was determined to advance, had already jumped off the ground, and then overpowered his short central defender partner Alvarez to complete a header!

The football bounced off the ground and flew into the goal without any suspense!

Athletic Bilbao’s goalkeeper Kepa was half a beat slower when he got to the ground, and he didn’t catch Ronaldo’s header at all!

Li Ang and Ronaldo, the ace offensive combination of Real Madrid’s frontcourt, once again completed the connection, dragging Real Madrid out of the quagmire in a dangerous situation!

After successfully equalizing the score, Li Ang also decisively chose to control the field first. At this moment, the tactical adjustments made by Ancelotti on the sidelines were no different from Li Ang’s, both emphasizing the need to stabilize the front line first.

The two teams finally entered the halftime break with a score of 1-1.

After the second half of the game started, Athletic Bilbao, who was at home, chose to rush to start, but Real Madrid seemed to have expected it at this moment, and was not panicked at all. They took a defensive posture and were not afraid of Athletic Bilbao’s strong attack.

The whole Real Madrid team is already very familiar with this tactical play that first wears down the opponent’s physical strength and energy.

After “retreating” for 20 minutes, Real Madrid regained its strength to take over the rhythm of the game, and pushed Athletic Bilbao back to the half court little by little.

At this moment, the offensive method chosen by Real Madrid is also quite simple, that is, to fly directly and brightly on both wings, combine the side and the middle, and grab points in the penalty area!

Well, to put it more simply, that is to use the cross method!

Casemiro is now almost at the same level as Pepe, because Ramos has strode into the Athletic Bilbao penalty area, and he wants to participate in the header attack!

Marcelo and Carvajal took turns to pass the ball on both wings, and Athletic Bilbao was also suppressed by Real Madrid’s rough cross-play.

Laporta is a very versatile central defender, but no matter how good he is, he can’t take care of the entire defense line if his teammates are not strong enough.

In the 82nd minute of the second half, Ramos successfully grabbed the ball in the middle of the Athletic Bilbao penalty area, but his header was saved by Kepa in the first time.

But before Laporta could grab the second point to clear the ball, Li Ang, who was faster than him, had already completed a close-range shot and put the ball into the Athletic Bilbao goal!

At this moment, the huge San Mames Stadium was almost silent!

Li Ang, who scored the goal, also lay down on the ground after running to the corner flag area, letting his excited teammates rush up and drown him!

The defensive players of Athletic Bilbao could only shake their heads in their own penalty area.

They did try their best today, but Real Madrid’s overall strength was much stronger than theirs. This was a failure in a battle. No wonder any player could only admit that they were not as good as others!

After Ancelotti celebrated with Zidane on the sidelines with the same passion, he quickly made substitutions.

Real Madrid, who changed to five defenders, finally kept the score of 2-1 until the end of the half.

There is no doubt that this was a beautiful reversal that boosted morale!

Just like the game in which Real Madrid reversed Villarreal at the end of February.

After winning such a difficult game, the morale of the entire Real Madrid team was greatly boosted, and they also defeated their opponents by a large score in the next league journey.

Alaves lost 4 games first, and Leganes, who came on the field later, was even worse, being beaten 7-0 by Real Madrid at home!

After playing the 1/8 knockout round of the Champions League, Real Madrid won 4 consecutive games in the La Liga, pushing the league points to an exaggerated 88 points!

The unbeaten record of 29 wins and 1 draw also surpasses the entire four major leagues, giving competitors no hope and opportunity at all!

At this moment, Barcelona, ​​which has won two consecutive games, has a record of 21 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses, which does not look bad, but they have been left behind by Real Madrid by a full 19 points in the standings!

Atletico Madrid, with 19 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses, is even worse. The current point difference with Real Madrid has reached an astonishing 24 points, a full score of 8 wins!

In three days, Atletico Madrid will usher in the second Madrid derby of this season, but to be honest, this game is meaningless to both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

The Meilingges are all excitedly calculating the latest round in which the team can win the championship in advance.

Even if Barcelona wins all the league games later, Real Madrid only needs to win two more league games to celebrate the success of the season in advance!

It has been almost four years!

Since Mourinho and Li Ang left Real Madrid, Real Madrid has been away from the La Liga championship for almost four years. Such a long wait is really anxious.

Fortunately, Li Ang chose to return this season, and what he brought back was the championship glory that Real Madrid had been away from for a long time!

After looking at the match date, the Meilingges then issued a unified slogan for winning the championship:

Before playing the next round of knockout matches with Bayern, we must first win the La Liga championship!
