Starting From Playing as a Defensive Midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 160 Well, Li Ang Is Indeed Greedy for the Golden Globe Award [Please Subscribe! ]

Isco was speechless after being teased by Li Ang again.

Although he was a little upset, he really couldn't find any reason to refute.

Look at Real Madrid now, it is no longer like the rising sun, but like a midday sun hanging high above La Liga!

Barcelona, ​​which is about to lose Guardiola and doesn't know who the next new coach will be, and whether there is any internal strife in the team, is really like the setting sun.

The setting sun may naturally rise again, but how long it will take and how strong Real Madrid will be by then, this is hard to say.

The golden peak period of professional players is only a few years, and no one dares to bet on transfers easily.

If he hadn't played out the current reputation before, even if the sinking Barcelona called Isco, he would still be willing to go firmly.

But he has played out now.

Even if he can't compete with Gotze in this year's European Golden Boy Award, he is still the national golden boy in the eyes of Spanish fans.

He has no shortage of clubs to pursue now.

Barcelona at this time, no matter how you look at it, is not a good place to level up.

Moreover, if Real Madrid really makes an offer to Malaga next summer, can he resist joining the current top European giant and the strongest team?

Is his determination to join Barcelona really as firm as he expected?

His mind seemed to be in a mess.

In the end, it was Li Ang who woke Isco up after seeing that he was too distracted.

"Alas, little lion, you have hurt me so much."

Finally, Isco rubbed the back of his head and sighed and trotted back to his own half, leaving Li Ang standing there in a circle.

However, as the game resumed, neither Isco nor Li Ang took what happened just now to heart.

They quickly returned to their tactical roles.

Real Madrid, who scored a goal, began to deliberately slow down the pace of the game under the organization and control of Li Ang and Modric.

This made Malaga, who was eager to score and equalize the score, very uncomfortable.

One side wanted to slow down, while the other side wanted to speed up. This completely opposite tactical thinking destined the two teams to fight fiercely.

But again, when Real Madrid wants to compete for the ball, in La Liga, or in Europe, only Barcelona can compete with Real Madrid in this regard.

Malaga is very good, but they are not Real Madrid's opponent in the fight for the ball.

So after some deliberate sabotage and splitting the game process, Real Madrid dragged the score of 1-0 to the end of the half as they wished.

Mourinho was quite satisfied with the result of the first half.

Especially in the stable performance of midfield defense, Modric's active integration and Matuidi's outstanding performance made him nod his head while watching the game in the coaching seat.

This is actually a question of defensive attitude.

Matuidi has the ability to defend, Modric is slightly worse in this regard, but their attitudes are positive and they can let go.

Then Mourinho likes this attitude very much.

As for Li Ang, Mourinho is not going to praise him today. He has praised him too many times before, and he is tired of it. Li Ang is probably tired of hearing it.

Besides, there is no need for them to maintain their relationship in this way now.

Mourinho's eyes, Li Ang probably knows whether he is praising him or scolding him.

Except that he did not directly call Mourinho "Dad" like Essien did, Li Ang did not think that the relationship between him and Mourinho was any different from the relationship between Essien and Mourinho in the past.

I know you trust me unconditionally, and you also know that I will stand on your side unconditionally, that's enough.

During the halftime break, Mourinho arranged the tactics for the second half in the locker room.

After seeing Li Ang nod as usual to indicate that he understood the tactical intention, Mourinho also assured to hand over the final emphasis to Karanka.

At the beginning of the second half, Li Ang and Modric really connected the ball possession in their own half.

Real Madrid's backcourt didn't have any technically rough players, and the seemingly rough Essien's short passes were quite stable.

Malaga stole the ball for five or six minutes in a row at the beginning of the game, but failed to snatch the ball from the Real Madrid players.

Zhang Lu, who was partnering with He Wei to comment on the game today, also joked.

"It seems that Real Madrid has learned a lot of tactical routines from their arch-rival Barcelona. This kind of play that prioritizes controlling the ball in their own half after taking the lead has been seen by us in the past few years~"

Zhang's words scared He Wei.

He Wei didn't know whether Zhang really didn't know about the big news of Barcelona in the past two days or he knew about it and didn't have anything to worry about.

He didn't have such a seniority as Zhang, so he naturally didn't dare to talk too much about this topic, and quickly found another topic to change the topic.

Fortunately, Zhang didn't continue to talk about Barcelona, ​​and the Chinese fans who heard the nervousness in He Wei's commentary were all happy.

If this happened in 2023, the fans in the forums and forums would definitely start to "protect" him.

There aren't so many jokes online these days, but domestic fans also made fun of He Wei's caution on the forums.

Real Madrid's game went smoothly, and domestic fans were in a good mood.

And when it was the 67th minute of the second half, when Li Ang made his first forward run of the game and suddenly sent a diagonal pass, assisting Ronaldo to successfully score Real Madrid's second goal of the game.

The major domestic sports forums were celebrating again!

After playing in the Club World Cup and returning to La Liga, he played a key performance again. Li Ang deserves praise. You can really play better if you praise him!

In the last round of La Liga before the Christmas holiday, Real Madrid finally won a small victory over Malaga away with a score of 2-0.

So far, in the first 17 rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid had one less game due to the Club World Cup schedule, and ranked second in La Liga with 46 points with 15 wins and one draw.

Barcelona's record is even more exaggerated, with 16 wins and 1 draw in the first 17 rounds! It is currently ranked first in La Liga with 49 points!

Yes, even though there was a big storm before the Christmas holiday, Guardiola still led the team to a steady away victory.

Like Real Madrid, Barcelona also defeated their opponent Valladolid 2-0 in this round.

Messi, who scored two goals in the game, bid farewell to his mentor Guardiola very sadly.

The last affectionate celebration scene of the two in the game was reprinted by countless media and fans after the game.

Guardiola still couldn't help it and shed tears at the press conference after the game.

After the game on the Real Madrid side, Mourinho also wished his old friend Guardiola all the best in the future at the press conference after the game.

At this moment, in Mourinho's eyes, the reporters really read the regret and sadness.

And everyone knows that Mourinho is not sad for Barcelona.

He is just speaking up for his friend.

Fans who used to believe that Mourinho and Guardiola had already fallen out can only be speechless now.

This is La Liga.

There is no more Guardiola and Mourinho.

※※※

The Guardiola departure incident, which has been a hot topic for several days, has gradually cooled down with the opening of the Christmas holiday.

In the football world, discussions about Guardiola's next club and Barcelona's future performance are naturally still continuing to ferment.

But in life, fans who used to dislike each other meet again on the Internet and will subconsciously greet each other in a friendly manner.

Another Christmas is coming.

For Li Ang, this Christmas is still quite fulfilling.

There are many activities in the club, and in addition to the internal dinner of the team, he and his teammates also participated in many community charity activities.

After seeing the many innocent children in the children's hospital and the welfare home, Li Ang's heart emerged with more faces of poor children in various provinces of his motherland.

This is not an unfounded fantasy in Li Ang's mind.

Instead, through the faces of these Spanish children, his memory of attending a simple kindergarten and primary school in the countryside emerged clearly.

He went to the town with his parents to settle down and study when he was in the third grade of primary school.

But in his hometown, an industrial town that is not at all poor.

In the vast rural areas, there were still a large number of families with left-behind children who were still "just enough" to attend rural primary schools.

Among them, there are still a large number of families who choose not to let their children continue to receive education because they cannot afford dozens or hundreds of yuan in book fees.

The reason why Li Ang's impression and memory are still so profound is that he really experienced it all.

It was still the beginning of the century, and now the first decade of the beginning of the century has completely passed.

Li Ang believes that with the accelerated construction of the motherland and the poverty alleviation efforts in the past ten years, many children have escaped the fate of illiteracy.

But the motherland is really too big.

In that familiar land, there are more than thousands of towns and villages that are poorer than his hometown.

And in these thousands of towns and villages, how many children are still suffering from poverty?

He suffered from insomnia for the second time in Spain.

The first time he suffered from insomnia was when he just came to Spain. At that time, he was looking forward to the unknown tomorrow.

But now, he is tossing and turning for a group of children who have nothing to do with him.

The next day, after Spain commissioned an assistant team to set up a children's relief foundation, Li Ang called Mendes directly and expressed his demands.

He established a special charity foundation in China last year.

But the annual investment of one million euros set at that time seems too little now.

This can't build a few schools or cover a few cities.

His income is very high now, really high.

One million euros, which is equivalent to more than 8 million yuan in RMB.

And he only needs to sign a one-year endorsement contract with a domestic medium-sized enterprise to make back all this money.

Mendes has estimated that Li Ang's income for the whole of 2012 will be around 40 million euros.

Note that this is after-tax income.

And this is the case that Mendes' team is strictly controlling Li Ang's domestic endorsements.

If it is open to accept, then it is not a problem for Li Ang's income to double this year.

So when Li Ang proposed that he would spend at least 10 million euros every year to build Hope Primary Schools in various provinces in China, Mendes was surprised, but he did not persuade Li Ang not to spend money like this.

10 million euros is a lot, but it depends on who it is for.

After seeing the big scenes of various local tycoons in China spending money to seek cooperation, Mendes' horizons have now broadened a lot.

He is confident that in the next two years, he can increase Li Ang's annual income to more than 100 million euros!

As long as Li Ang maintains his current performance level and does not suffer any serious injuries, it is a sure thing to achieve this goal.

By then, let alone 10 million a year, even if Li Ang spends 20 million euros a year for charity, Mendes will not even blink an eye.

Besides, this kind of charity is also a completely good thing for Li Ang's career development!

Not to mention deliberately promoting it, as long as it is done seriously, it will cause a huge wave of public opinion in China.

In Mendes' view, using the 10 million euros a year in exchange for Li Ang's higher domestic reputation is simply a sure-win business.

Of course, he only thought about it in his heart, and he would definitely not say it to Li Ang.

After praising Li Ang, Mendes personally led the team to book a flight to China.

He wanted to promote the reorganization and establishment of the New Hope Fund in the short term and select a trustworthy financial team and management team.

It's not his fault that he thinks too much, mainly because China is too big and there are all kinds of people.

When he was helping Li Ang negotiate business cooperation in China, he also encountered some people who wanted to take advantage of him for no reason. Everyone who understands this understands this.

After all, this money can only be truly realized under clear supervision and the operation of a reliable team.

Li Ang was relieved after receiving Mendes' plan.

At present, he still has to seize the time for special training in Spain, and he can only return to China during this year's summer offseason.

So Mendes went to do this in person, and he was grateful and at ease.

After temporarily putting aside his worries, Li Ang also seized the daily holiday time to start working hard to break through his long pass ability value.

Although this year's Christmas holiday seemed a little shorter because Real Madrid had to play a supplementary match of the King's Cup in advance, Li Ang finally failed to successfully break through the long pass ability value threshold of 85 during the holiday.

But he felt that it was actually not far off.

On January 4, Real Madrid's rotation players rushed to Celta's home court to play the first leg of the King's Cup quarter-finals.

Li Ang came on as a substitute in the second half of the game and played for 36 minutes.

But Real Madrid eventually lost to Celta 1-2, suffering their first defeat of the season.

However, Real Madrid was quite satisfied with the score.

After all, the main players had a better rest, and Real Madrid finally scored an away goal at Celta's home stadium.

After the game, Mourinho gave most of the rotation players a holiday, allowing them to rest for two more days.

On January 6, Real Madrid, with all the main players in the 18th round of La Liga, welcomed Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu.

Real Sociedad is currently ranked seventh in La Liga, only three points away from fifth-placed Real Betis, and it is a critical moment for them to hit the European war zone with high morale.

Because they were eliminated in the fourth round of the King's Cup, Real Sociedad currently has no multi-line combat missions, and they have just rested during the Christmas holiday.

So their morale and physical fitness can be said to be at their peak, causing Real Madrid huge trouble in the game at the Bernabeu.

If they play normally, it's fine. After all, the main players of Real Madrid have just finished a two-week rest and have no injuries.

But today, Real Sociedad's No. 10 midfielder Xavi Prieto exploded and scored two goals in the first half!

Griezmann didn't play well in the first half. Today, he was locked down by Li Ang again, but his passing organization gave Prieto more opportunities to shoot.

Real Madrid was still 1-2 behind Real Sociedad in the first half. This scene shocked all the La Liga fans!

However, at the beginning of the second half, Ronaldo, who was stimulated by Mourinho's chicken blood, cooperated with Marcelo to directly explode Real Sociedad's right defense!

Prieto, who had exploded before, had to retreat to help Estrada consolidate the side defense.

At this time, Higuain, who replaced Benzema in the half, showed his shooting instinct.

After Ronaldo tied up a large number of Real Sociedad's defensive forces, Higuain successfully poached and scored a goal with a low cross from Marcelo!

But the most exciting plot is still to come.

Just when Real Madrid was about to speed up and overtake the score, Griezmann took advantage of Prieto's holding the ball to pull away Li Ang's defensive gap, and adjusted his position and shot directly after receiving the ball outside the Real Madrid penalty area!

This shot was still far from the top of the penalty area. Brother Long didn't expect Griezmann to be so bold.

And Casillas suffered a loss in arm span again. Facing Griezmann's left-footed shot in the dead corner, he didn't catch the ball!

In the 57th minute of the second half, Real Sociedad once again overtook the score in the third minute after Real Madrid equalized the score!

This situation is really explosive.

Real Madrid was scored three goals by the opponent at the Bernabeu home court, which was the first time this season!

At least two of the goals were long-range shots, and one was a shot from Prieto in front of the penalty area that hit Pepe's butt and refracted, causing Real Madrid to lose the ball!

This luck is really unmatched. The Real Madrid fans at the scene also covered their heads and didn't know who to boo at this time.

It's so unlucky today, you can't blame your own players, right?

Fortunately, at such a demoralizing moment, Mourinho did not hesitate too much and chose the tactical adjustment that would most boost morale and confidence of the players.

"Press up! Li Ang and Xavi also press up! Attack! Attack until the last second of the game!!!"

Mourinho's roar on the sidelines ignited the blood and anger in the hearts of all Real Madrid players!

Attack!

Even if Real Sociedad scores again, they will never retreat!

They will attack to the end!

They will defeat this unlucky luck with a strong victory!

So the players of Real Sociedad had to face the full-line pressure of Real Madrid in fear after just a few minutes of revelry!

The offensive like a wave pressed in front of the penalty area of ​​Real Sociedad, constantly hitting their back line!

When Real Sociedad had to choose to stick to the defensive three zones, Real Madrid no longer played any complicated offensive routines.

Ronaldo, Li Ang, and Essien on the periphery took turns to shoot long shots when they saw the opportunity!

Marcelo and Arbeloa on both sides almost became wingers, frequently attacking the bottom and sending crosses to the penalty area of ​​Real Sociedad!

Li Ang's back-insertion also gave Ronaldo and Higuain more chances to grab points.

Real Sociedad also played several good counterattacks during the period. Griezmann and Carlos Vela made Pepe and Ramos each carry a yellow card in just fifteen minutes.

But Real Madrid still didn't care, and Real Madrid's offensive continued!

Mourinho replaced Pepe with Nacho in the 76th minute of the second half.

Nacho, who is faster and more flexible, is now a better candidate with Ramos to deal with Griezmann and Bella's counterattack.

Varane also started warming up.

Mourinho is determined not to withdraw Li Ang and Alonso.

If Nacho gets another yellow card, no commentator or fans will doubt Mourinho's determination to replace Ramos with Varane again!

This resolute let-go made the Real Sociedad defense overwhelmed.

Finally, in the 82nd minute of the second half, Di Maria received Essien's cross pass and then faked a shot and dribbled past Real Sociedad's midfielder Surutusa.

When he broke into the Real Sociedad penalty area and was about to shoot, Inigo Martinez could only try to intercept with his foot helplessly.

Di Maria had a flash of inspiration at the critical moment and changed his shot to a dribble again, shaking off Martinez's defense!

Facing the attack of goalkeeper Bravo, the angel chose to pick the ball to the back of the goal!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who rushed over, jumped high and overpowered Real Sociedad's right center back Gonzalez to head the ball into the empty goal!

3-3!

Real Madrid finally equalized the score in the last ten minutes!

The Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu celebrated and roared with the players on the field like crazy!

However, the Real Madrid players did not celebrate for long at this time.

Cristiano Ronaldo was waving his arms and roaring for the Real Madrid fans to give them more support!

Ramos was clapping and signaling his teammates in the backcourt to stay calm!

And Li Ang, he rushed into the Real Sociedad goal the moment the ball crossed the line, holding the ball and punching it and running towards the kick-off point!

Real Madrid has not scored enough!

Real Madrid does not accept a draw!

Real Madrid still wants the final victory!

This strong fighting spirit of unity and unity shocked all the audience!

This well-rested Real Madrid did not slack off mentally, but seemed to be more stubborn and tenacious!

Because they now even want to beat luck!

How confident and domineering is this? !

Mourinho squeezed his hands and made his last-minute tactical decision.

He swung his left hand behind him and swung it towards the Real Sociedad half!!!

At the same time, he also roared and spoke passionately!

"Keep attacking!!!"

Crazy!

The fans at the Bernabeu screamed like crazy!

Under the sound waves like a volcanic eruption, the Real Madrid players also went crazy! ! !

Speed, speed, and speed!

They are speeding up every second, and they are also increasing the number of offensive rounds!

The commentator and special guests of Movistar are shouting at the top of their lungs!

Griezmann actually wants to make another counterattack against Real Madrid.

As long as he can make another threatening counterattack and break through the Real Madrid gate, he can become the only focus of this game!

He will get the best chance to become famous!

But he can't run now.

He really can't run, his legs are as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

So he couldn't understand it even more.

How could these Real Madrid stars still run like this!

Like Karanka, Pintus couldn't sit still. He stood on the sidelines, very satisfied with the physical transformation he brought to the current Real Madrid.

But he wanted to see today's Real Madrid win more!

"Use this physical advantage to break your opponents, boys!"

Pintus nervously held Karanka's shoulders and recited in his heart.

At this moment, the time has reached the 88th minute of the second half.

Real Sociedad's defense has long been in a precarious state.

But they still held on.

Bravo, who no longer attacks casually, rejected Real Madrid's quick impact shots again and again with excellent goal line performance!

Ramos has already rushed to the front court!

Alonso retreated accordingly.

Li Ang got the ball on the right side of the half field from his own perspective. He suddenly accelerated and once again used his physical advantage to rush past Surutusa's defense!

This sudden change inevitably caused chaos in the left defense of Real Sociedad!

Li Ang did not slow down and continued to rush forward, forcing Real Sociedad's left back De La Bella to attack and intercept, and then he passed the ball to Averoa who was on the side!

After passing the ball, Li Ang still did not slow down. He just changed direction and rushed to the penalty area of ​​Real Sociedad at almost the same time as Ramos!

Ramos resolutely inserted into the front point, Ronaldo accelerated at the back point, and Li Ang and Higuain went straight to the middle!

A cross from Averoa came.

A quick cross with a slight turn!

When Ramos jumped high at the front point, Bravo followed and moved in advance.

All the Real Madrid fans at the scene also held their breath nervously!

Mourinho squatted down slightly, his eyes fixed on Ramos' figure.

But the football finally flew over Ramos' head!

A huge sense of gap immediately filled the hearts of all Real Madrid fans!

But this sense of gap lasted less than 0.5 seconds, because they saw two figures jumping forward almost at the same time in the middle of the penalty area!

Li Ang was in front, and Higuain was behind.

Two ghosts knocked on the door!

Real Sociedad's mainstay Inigo Martinez jumped up with him.

But his positioning speed was too slow!

Li Ang once again "threw" himself out!

His jumping height and momentum made Bravo, who was still moving in the opposite direction, very frightened!

When Li Ang exerted force downward and completed the "slam dunk" header, Martinez was also knocked off balance by his powerful impact!

The football quickly bounced to the grass in the far corner of the goal, and then bounced into the net!

Bravo's intercepting hand arrived just after the football completely crossed the line!

Too late!!!

"Ramos headed the ball! Li Ang's headed the ball!!! Ahh ... Mourinho is old, so he can't run as fast as the young players, but his running figure is just as passionate and determined!

Li Ang was tackled from behind by his teammates, and they fell to the ground hugging and screaming!

The Real Sociedad players were all standing in front of their own penalty area with their hands on their hips, looking confused.

From 2-1 to 3-2.

They were leading Real Madrid for almost the entire game today, but they were equalized and then defeated at the last minute? !

Such an experience was really too demoralizing!

Even with absolute luck, they couldn't beat this Real Madrid. The morale of the Real Sociedad players collapsed, and their mentality was completely blown up!

Griezmann bit his lips tightly, he was still unwilling.

After waiting for the game to start again, he was still seeking the last hope and making the last effort.

Until the whistle sounded at the end of the game!

The Bernabeu scene was boiling again!

But all the Real Sociedad players knew that these Real Madrid fans were not celebrating Real Madrid's victory over their Real Sociedad.

What they celebrated was that Real Madrid had overcome adversity!

If they could win such a game, what other opponents and difficulties would be able to stump Real Madrid?

Real Madrid, the big devil of the second half of the season, may be released early this year!

After the game, Li Ang still couldn't hide his excitement.

He kept waving his arms at the Real Madrid fans in the stands on all sides, signaling them to cheer louder!

Then he was dragged into the carnival by his teammates!

This shocking reversal game shocked the entire European giants before the opening of the FIFA annual awards ceremony.

Many fans of other giants felt "numb" after watching Real Madrid's crazy offensive in the last 20 minutes!

It can be said that this battle was almost a perfect warm-up for the FIFA annual celebration on the evening of January 7, 2013.

Almost all the main players of Real Madrid's first team participated in the celebration that night.

Of course, Mourinho was indispensable.

Before the celebration began, Li Ang not only met many acquaintances at the scene, but also made a preliminary acquaintance with a new friend.

That is, he is still playing in the Brazilian league, but there have been transfer rumors with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and he is also the hottest star in the football world.

Neymar.

Both of them are newcomers to this kind of celebration. In addition, they are of similar age and speak the same language, so they quickly chatted with each other.

However, as the celebration began, the two could only sit in front of the camera with awkward smiles and began to be spectators.

Without any surprises, Real Madrid and the Spanish national team took the largest share of the award cake that night!

Mourinho was elected the best coach of the year, Ronaldo won the second Golden Ball Award in his career, and Real Madrid had as many as seven main players selected for the best team of the year!

Li Ang did not compete with any of the midfield trio of Xavi, Iniesta and Brother Long.

There is no way, the European Cup is really a plus.

If there were no major competitions in 2012, Li Ang should have been selected as FIFA's best eleven of the year with Brother Long.

But now he can only smile and applaud in the audience.

However, there is a little good news, that is, his final Ballon d'Or ranking exceeded his expectations and entered the top 20.

He ranked 18th in the 2012 Ballon d'Or.

The Chinese media at the scene were very excited.

But compared to this ranking, Li Ang's eyes were more focused on the Ballon d'Or trophy in Ronaldo's hand.

Before coming, he thought he should still be quite calm.

But now

Well, Li Ang confessed that he was indeed greedy for the Ballon d'Or!

Very greedy!

Today's sincerity is all in the update.

Foodies can only say, there is more!

Big guys, subscribe and vote, throw it together, foodies can bear it!
