Chapter 148 Want to Qualify? Now It All Depends on Real Madrid's Attitude [Subscribe! ]

"I said before that Atletico will get stronger this season, and you laughed at me at that time."

The afternoon after the game against Zaragoza, the whole Real Madrid team did recovery training, and Li Ang started to make a live speech.

Modric was warming up beside him, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

When he just transferred here at the beginning of this season, Real Madrid was going to play the European Super Cup with Atletico, and Li Ang kept telling him that Atletico was not to be feared.

Now Li Ang changed his words too quickly, and he said it quite confidently.

However, other Real Madrid players did not refute Li Ang.

Because before Modric came to Real Madrid to report, Li Ang really said this during the summer training, and was ridiculed by many teammates at that time.

At the beginning of the season, Atletico was not to be feared and Atletico is getting stronger now.

Because in just two and a half months, Atletico has completed another starter adjustment.

Simeone has initially fulfilled his promise to Atletico fans after the defeat in the UEFA Super Cup. He has built an iron-blooded team.

In the current fixed 4-4-2 starting formation of Atletico.

Diego Costa, who was previously favored by Simeone to start, completely activated the Colombian tiger with his excellent fulcrum role.

After ten rounds of La Liga, Falcao has handed in ten goals and one assist, and he has a serious output of one goal per game.

If Real Madrid plays against Atletico again, it still has the advantage in hard power, but the game will definitely not be as easy to play as in the UEFA Super Cup.

Of course, no matter how difficult it is, Real Madrid's players must still believe that they will win in the end.

Li Ang did not hold any opposing opinions on this.

Mainly because he thinks that the restrained relationship between Ronaldo and Atletico is very metaphysical.

Ronaldo is now at the peak of his career. Every time he plays against Atletico, he is always particularly excited and can always score goals.

Before the game, Real Madrid basically assumed that they were ahead of Atletico Madrid 1-0.

So Li Ang felt that as long as Mourinho's thinking was not wrong, he could still beat the "incomplete" Atletico Madrid twice this season.

After ending the discussion on Atletico Madrid's recent state, the Real Madrid players devoted themselves to recovery training.

There were only a few days left to prepare for the game. Apart from today's recovery training, they only had two and a half days left to practice tactics and prepare for Dortmund.

The pressure was still not small.

The Real Madrid rotation players who wanted to get a valuable chance to play in the second match with Dortmund were training even harder.

While Mourinho was thinking deeply about home tactics and player selection.

On the other side, in Dortmund, Germany, Klopp was also struggling with the starting lineup for the next round of the Champions League.

He and the Dortmund players lost the last round of the battle with Real Madrid very unwillingly.

Even though they understand that, in fact, from the scene, Real Madrid was holding back at the beginning, and did not attack hard like them at the beginning.

They have personally experienced Real Madrid's all-out offensive ability, and they also admit the gap.

But this does not prevent them from being unconvinced.

The young army has this kind of iron-headed temper.

Klopp is very satisfied with the momentum of his team now, so his entanglement is not on the balanced arrangement of offense and defense in tactics.

He is entangled in whether to maximize the offensiveness, directly from the personnel arrangement, and strengthen the control and offensive attributes of the midfield.

This kind of brain circuit is very Klopp.

There may be another important reason, that is, Dortmund's current lineup can only work hard on the offensive end to adjust the tactics.

If you want to defend more steadily, Dortmund's back line is not a big problem, the main problem is still in the "waist".

Kyle is too old, and Sven Bender's ability is not first-class in football.

In addition, Dortmund does not have much money to recruit players, and Klopp just wants to further transform the midfield defense. If there is no one, he has no other choice.

In this way, it is better to maximize the offensive attributes and fight Real Madrid again with offense instead of defense.

Losing is because the goal is not as many as the opponent!

So, continue to strengthen the team's offensive ability.

No problem!

Klopp made his own tactical decision.

He chose to lead his disciples to go crazy again.

So when Dortmund's starting lineup was released on November 6, one hour before the game, not to mention the Spanish media, the German media were dumbfounded!

Not only did Gundogan start, but Kyle also sat on the bench.

Klopp chose to let Gundogan and Sven Bender partner!

This is indeed a midfield configuration with Dortmund's offensive attributes maximized.

Sven Bender + Gundogan + Gotze.

This courage made Mourinho and Real Madrid players stunned.

At the Bernabeu, Klopp and Dortmund almost completely stole the limelight from Real Madrid.

After hearing the news, the old man could only shake his head helplessly.

Originally, he had invited some sponsors to watch the game at the Bernabeu today.

But now, he sincerely regretted it.

He was not afraid that Real Madrid would lose, but he was more afraid that Mourinho would choose to defend and counterattack after knowing Dortmund's aggressive style of play.

That scene was completely incompatible with "gorgeous and beautiful".

Winning the game is important, but for Real Madrid's commercial development and global promotion, the star-studded cards and gorgeous game scenes are more important.

Mr. Foye had already preconceived that Mourinho would continue to play conservative tactics.

But when the players on both sides really started to play and took their positions after the opening ceremony, Mr. Foye was surprised to find that.

Mourinho did not think about defending the half and counterattacking.

On the Real Madrid side, only Alonso was dragged behind the defender, and Li Ang and Modric, who started today, had prerequisites for their positions!

"Not 4-2-3-1! Real Madrid did not continue to play the 4-2-3-1 starting formation today. They will play 4-3-3 at the beginning of today!"

He Wei, who was commentating on this Champions League focus match today, was also surprised.

He had been cautious before.

Although the live broadcast camera had given a schematic diagram of the starting formations of both sides, He Wei only introduced the starting players of Real Madrid.

Because he had an inexplicable premonition.

He believed that Mourinho would not choose to sacrifice the situation to target after Klopp's tactics were revealed.

This is not Mourinho's character.

You can say that Mourinho's tactical choices are sometimes conservative, but he is also a very proud person.

A madman coach who has won five championship trophies this year will allow his opponent to make a big splash at his home court?

Mourinho will not allow such a thing to happen.

This is He Wei's interpretation of Mourinho and the current Mourinho-style Real Madrid.

And the facts have proved that his view is correct.

Mourinho is very tough!

He wants to have a head-on confrontation with Klopp at the Bernabeu!

Offense against offense, if you want to compete in any field, then I will compete with you in this field!

The atmosphere in the Bernabeu became more and more passionate in an instant!

Many fans who did not watch this game at this time also quickly tuned in with surprise and expectation after being reminded by their friends.

This is Real Madrid with full firepower. Last season, the number of goals was the highest in Europe, and no one could beat Real Madrid!

Stimulated by the rapid rise in ratings, media from all countries also worked hard to promote the event online at the last moment before the game started.

And when the referee blew the whistle, the Real Madrid players who took the lead today also quickly deployed their formations and launched a decisive attack on Dortmund's half!

The thunderous cheers came from the fans of the two teams on the scene. Under the sound waves, the players of the two teams quickly interspersed and intertwined in the midfield area.

Alonso's first long pass attempt still found Ronaldo first.

After Ronaldo dribbled past Reus's defensive interference, he passed the ball to the middle, and then he started to run forward!

Unfortunately, Benzema, who received the ball this time, did not pass it again. Gundogan, who took the initiative, intercepted the pass, and the offensive and defensive situation on the field also changed!

Li Ang was the first Real Madrid midfielder to notice something was wrong and start to retreat.

Modric was a beat slower. After Gundogan made a strong through pass forward, Modric could not keep up with Gotze who was determined to advance!

Li Ang immediately pulled to Reus, but Gotze's pass was given to Grosskreutz who was running wildly on the other side.

Lewandowski rushed into the Real Madrid penalty area. Grosskreutz's cross was given in time, but Pepe, who had been prepared, took the lead and headed the ball out of the penalty area!

Alonso stopped the ball with his back to goal, Gotze hurried forward to interfere, and Lewandowski also retreated to double-team Long Ge in the frontcourt.

However, with Li Ang's timely response, Long Ge still gave the ball out in the first time.

Li Ang decisively started to advance with big strides from his own half, and the Real Madrid fans at the scene were excited and kept cheering!

The game entered a high-intensity confrontation from the beginning.

Unfortunately, the referee's whistle was relatively loose today, and in order to ensure the smoothness of the game, some minor fouls were not blown.

So the game scene was quite exciting!

Li Ang pulled Gotze's upper body jersey, and Sven Wendell's defensive action from the side was hard against Modric, but the referee did not blow.

It was not until the fifth minute of the first half that Di Maria was tripped by Grosskreutz who was chasing back and fell down on his calf when he advanced from the wing, and the referee blew the first foul of the game!

The players and fans on both sides had nothing to say.

After all, at present, the referee's standards for both sides are similar, and it is good as long as it is fair.

Moreover, the players on both sides did not commit any bad fouls to hurt others.

Those stumblings didn't matter. Di Maria didn't complain. After getting up, he immediately took a set-piece and continued to attack.

When the two teams focused their main energy on the fight for the ball and the quick attack, the wingers on the field naturally became the focus of attention of the fans and commentators.

Grosskreutz's level may be a little worse, but his physical fitness and willpower are first-class. He and Reus played on the left and right, and their performance was not bad at all.

Real Madrid's performance naturally depends mainly on Ronaldo. Apart from Ronaldo, the most dazzling winger is not Di Maria.

But Marcelo!

Ma Pengpeng's active forward insertion caused a lot of trouble for Dortmund's right side and even the entire midfield defense.

Because he is a complete X variable!

When he did the work of a winger as a full-back and did a pretty good job, Ronaldo's inward or outward movement became more threatening than usual!

It's just that Li Ang has to work harder at this time.

After all, when Marcelo goes up, he has to press forward to support him, but when Marcelo can't go back, he has to chase back desperately to interfere with Reus' counterattack.

He has become a real "free man in the whole court".

That is from his own penalty area to the penalty area in front of Dortmund, from the left to the middle, he can almost be seen!

If we have to talk about energy investment, the energy he invests in the defense end is definitely much greater than the offense end.

But it is precisely because of his "full map coverage".

Real Madrid's left side has not been completely broken through by Reus despite the increase in offensive firepower, and has become a weak defensive side that Dortmund can use to target.

It was Li Ang's desperate running that made many neutral fans feel that their legs were inexplicably sore.

Fortunately, his hard work is meaningful.

Before Gotze and Reus broke through Real Madrid's left defense, Real Madrid found an opportunity on Dortmund's right first!

In the 16th minute of the first half, Marcelo decisively cut inside after getting rid of Piszczek by taking advantage of Ronaldo's containment threat!

He kept advancing the ball to the top of Dortmund's penalty area, and then Marcelo chose to pass the ball to Di Maria who had inserted into the right side of Dortmund's penalty area!

Marcelo's X variable successfully tore through Dortmund's defense line, and Di Maria's single-point breakthrough also made Dortmund's penalty area a mess!

Seeing that there was no good opportunity to switch feet inside, Di Maria could only give up the idea of ​​shooting directly.

Before Subotic pressed over, he chose a strong horizontal pass!

Guo Feng's running position was slightly forward at this time, but he was very smart not to force the ball, but took advantage of Hummels' defensive attention.

Ronaldo made almost no adjustments at the back of the goal, changed his left foot shape and pushed directly into the near corner!

Weidenfeller stretched his legs to block the ball, but his reaction was still a little slow, and he could only look back and watch the football plunge into the near corner of the net!

Mourinho raised one arm confidently on the sidelines, clenched his fist and waved, as if everything was under his control!

It was right to fight with spears, but the bottom of the sharp spear in his hand was equipped with an iron shield that could block the opponent's forward stab!

This iron shield was naturally Li Ang!

It seemed a bit unfair.

Klopp was very powerful at the beginning, and he really didn't have more cards to play.

But when Mourinho let go, he could use Li Ang to cover the defense.

It is not necessary to require Li Ang to stop Dortmund's offensive advancement every time.

But when Ronaldo and Marcelo successfully launched five offensive attempts, Reus and Gotze could only successfully launch four or even fewer three offensive attempts in the same time.

In fact, Real Madrid has already won!

A goal lost in the first half almost determined the passivity of Dortmund's tactical arrangement throughout the game.

Even though they scored a goal in the 37th minute of the first half, the score at that time was only 1-2.

Real Madrid took advantage of Dortmund's defensive loopholes to constantly find offensive opportunities, and the final four goals were their most satisfactory harvest.

Dortmund was indeed tough enough, and they did not stop attacking even when their defense was punctured.

They finally scored their third goal in injury time, and Li Ang had been replaced by Mourinho in advance.

4-3!

This is the final result of both teams playing freely!

Mourinho's substitution of Li Ang in the last three minutes seemed a bit overconfident.

But it was harmless, at least in the eyes of the fans, this Champions League group match with a total of seven goals was worthy of the title of "Focus Battle" given by the media before the game.

On the other side, Manchester City and Ajax, who just tied with a score of 2-2, are also getting excited now!

They have two points in four rounds, and one has four points in four rounds, but they are not panicking.

Because Dortmund now also has four points in four rounds!

All three teams still have a chance to qualify, and there is still hope.

But later on, everyone will have to look at Real Madrid’s mood!
