Starting From Playing as a Defensive Midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 158 Guardiola Goes Berserk, Is Barcelona Doomed?

The football world of 2012 reached its finale on December 16.

It is not an exaggeration to call this year the "Year of Real Madrid".

With six championship trophies at the club level, every Real Madrid player can say that he is a winner in life at this moment!

For Alonso, Ramos, Casillas, Arbeloa and other players who are both the main players of Real Madrid and Spain.

This year is the most fulfilling year in their entire career!

As long as they have participated in the competition, whether it is the national team or the club, they have harvested all the championship honors!

It is definitely the peak year of life.

Of course, in East Asia at this moment, Li Ang is the absolute focus of discussion among media fans.

If Park Ji-sung had previously created the ceiling of Asian players' honor records in European football and proved that Asian players can also succeed in Europe.

Then Li Ang has now broken the honor record, allowing all Asian players to see the possibility of a nearly perfect career.

Six championships in one year, and he won the six championships as an absolute main force and a hero in many finals!

Sports media throughout Asia generally believe that there is no need to wait until Li Ang's career ends to compare him with the top players in the history of Asian football.

Whether it is Cha Bum-kun, Park Ji-sung, or Nakata Hidetoshi, the comparison between them and Li Ang has completely lost its meaning with the birth of this six-time champion.

Li Ang is the best in Asia!

All events are not soy sauce, the best in Asia with full gold content!

The South Korean media may still have a little bit of a sense of forcing.

They did not refute the statement that Li Ang is the best in Asia, but just put forward in a more tactful way that at least in terms of goals and total number of championships, Cha Bum-kun and Park Ji-sung are still more advantageous.

As a result, before the Chinese media refuted it, several Japanese media started to question it first.

"Wouldn't it be better to admit the facts generously? Or do the South Korean media not believe that Li Ang can eventually win more championships than Park Ji-sung in Real Madrid?

As for comparing the number of goals scored by a midfielder and a striker, I think that such behavior is no different from hooliganism."

Well, as soon as such incendiary remarks came out, the South Korean and Japanese media circles started arguing again, which stunned their counterparts in China.

No, it's our players, why are the media in your two countries arguing? !

After complaining, the media in China just watched the fun and did not participate in this debate, but instead focused on praising Li Ang's performance!

Assisted and scored in the Champions League final!

The first player in the King's Cup final to calmly appear in the penalty shootout and opened the record!

Scored the second goal for Real Madrid in the first round of the European Super Cup!

Scored in both games of this Club World Cup!

With such a performance, no one can find fault with it.

Li Ang's performance in key battles is worthy of his nickname "Mr. Big Heart".

To put it more bluntly, he can brag with reason and confidence.

You need to show the details of the game and the key contributions on both offense and defense.

Needless to say, professional media and fans who know a little bit about football can see how important Li Ang is to Real Madrid now.

Just talking about the defensive backup and exaggerated attendance rate, Li Ang is irreplaceable.

For other new fans and "data-oriented" fans, it is easier to deal with.

Once the goal and assist data of this key battle are displayed, it will be more convincing than other professional data.

No one will dislike the key hero.

Li Ang himself may be more advocating team victory, and he also likes to lead his teammates to work together to win the game.

But more fans and onlookers don't think so.

They like to use this kind of personal data that separates the role of the team to make a fuss and compare different players.

This is quite nonsense, but it is indeed the current situation.

Li Ang is now being promoted and packaged as such a "key hero" by various media in East Asia.

After the public opinion fermented, Li, who has not yet left Japan with the team, can be said to have fully experienced the "enthusiasm" of the fans in this country.

The joy and excitement of winning the six championships did not last for a few more days, and Li Ang had to face the young Japanese fans who had previously loved him.

At the impromptu meeting that lasted less than two hours, Li Ang and Ronaldo once again became the most popular Real Madrid stars on the scene.

The one-stop process of signing, taking photos and hugging is indispensable.

Li Ang's attitude is normal, and he follows the procedures of the club staff, but it is basically impossible for him to be more enthusiastic and friendly.

If this is an event in China, let alone two hours, Li Ang can persist enthusiastically for two more hours.

Don't talk about double standards, then the treatment of his own fans must be the best.

For the Japanese fans who are living a good life, Li Ang can only be polite on the surface.

After all, he is not trying to make money in Japan, and it is really unnecessary for him to learn a few simple Japanese words like his teammates to further express his friendliness.

The club's overseas publicity director saw that Li Ang was unwilling and did not insist, and still took great care of Li Ang's emotions.

However, this director may not have expected that Li Ang would eventually get a "very polite and cultured" evaluation from the Japanese media and fans.

After having the last meal in the local area at noon that day, all Real Madrid players took the time to get on the plane back to Madrid.

It was another twelve-hour flight. When they arrived in Madrid, the Real Madrid players were actually at bedtime.

But it was four o'clock in the afternoon in Madrid at this moment. Even in winter, it was sunny.

There were many Real Madrid fans who came to pick them up. After a short and warm celebration with the fans on the scene with the Club World Cup champions, the Real Madrid players also changed buses to the Harvest Goddess Square.

The remaining five championship trophies were already prepared on the bus, and they were full. Even if they just looked at them, the Real Madrid players felt very happy and satisfied.

However, since it was not the championship celebration at the end of the season, the layout on the scene was naturally not too detailed.

On a simple high platform, under the witness of countless media and Real Madrid fans, the players of Real Madrid's first team came out one after another amid thunderous cheers.

Then came Mourinho, Karanka, Ruiz, Pintus and other members of the Real Madrid coaching staff.

After the old man appeared and gave a simple speech to congratulate the players and coaches, the atmosphere on the scene reached its peak.

The six championship trophies were placed in front of the stage, followed by the first row of Mourinho-style Real Madrid players squatting down, and then the row of Mourinho-style Real Madrid players standing up.

The coaching staff members were on both sides.

But just before the media were ready to shoot, Li Ang and his teammates looked at each other, and then several people took out several small dolls with player portraits from behind.

Several people just took one doll each and placed them in front of themselves.

At this moment, the noisy fans and reporters looked closely and found that those dolls were the Real Madrid players who left the team in the past two seasons after Mourinho took office!

Kaka, Khedira, Gago, Granero, Las Diarra

Among them, Altintop and Sahin, who almost played soy sauce last season, were also on the list!

This scene was obviously only known to the players in advance, because both the old man and Mourinho looked surprised.

But, they also reacted and took the lead in applauding!

The Real Madrid fans at the scene were even more excited, screaming and cheering!

Everyone says that Real Madrid is not humane.

From the club's transfer handling methods, Real Madrid does meet this evaluation.

But at least today's batch of Real Madrid players proved that they are a very humane and united team.

This six-time champion belongs to them, but they have not forgotten that there is a group of brothers who left. No matter how much they contributed, they have a share in this six-time champion!

For the first time, all the members of Mourinho's Real Madrid appeared neatly in the camera of reporters.

Such a historic but very warm picture made everyone at the scene feel mixed emotions.

Mourinho was also very touched.

He had thought about the players who left the team before. Some of them did not meet his tactical requirements, but he was still grateful.

He gave opportunities to all these players who left the team.

It is undeniable that some players may still have grievances when they left the team, but as time goes by, there is only understanding and respect between them and Mourinho.

So at this moment, seeing these players appear in another way at the celebration party of Real Madrid, Mourinho is also relieved.

The old man pulled Sanchez over at this time, and I don’t know what he whispered, but looking at the joy on Sanchez’s face, it will always be a good thing for Real Madrid.

The celebration that night ended with the fans' revelry.

The Real Madrid players were also very happy, but they had no more energy to enjoy the wonderful nightlife after forcing themselves to wait until the end of the celebration.

Li Ang fell asleep after being driven home by his assistant.

He slept from 10 o'clock that night to more than 11 o'clock the next day, and then Li Ang woke up with a comfortable stretch.

As expected, their actions last night became the front page of the European media again.

The neat arrangement of the six championship trophies was very eye-catching.

However, the dolls with photos of former teammates in Li Ang's hands were the focus of the media reports.

The former Mourinho Real Madrid members who knew about this were all very moved.

Li Ang received thank-you text messages from Kaka and Brother Face.

After a reply, he got up and washed up, and the nutritionist hired before had prepared lunch in advance.

Today is a day off. The entire Real Madrid team will start recovery training on the morning of December 19.

However, for Li Ang, he only needs to rest for half a day. After eating a rich pre-training meal, Li Ang drove directly to Valdebebas.

His long pass ability value successfully broke through the value of 84 after the La Liga match against Real Betis.

I feel that the recent progress is slightly faster than before. Li Ang can't sit still and wants to spend more time on long pass practice.

This Christmas holiday is just right for breakthroughs. When the long pass value is really broken to 85, Li Ang is ready to readjust the focus of extra training.

There is a stage plan. Li Ang feels that he can slowly complete it, and his heart is always at ease.

Seeing Li Ang's figure appear in the training base as promised, Mourinho also feels very at ease.

In the next round of the league, Real Madrid will play against Malaga, which is currently ranked fourth in La Liga and has successfully entered the knockout stage of the Champions League.

If it was before the start of the Club World Cup, Mourinho would not be too worried. Even if it was an away game, Real Madrid with all the main players could still beat Malaga.

But now Real Madrid's main players have just returned from the Club World Cup. It takes time to eliminate the fatigue of the long journey and adjust to the jet lag.

Mourinho really couldn't say that he could beat Malaga at this critical juncture.

Fortunately, Li Ang's state adjustment is as stable as ever. Li Ang can still play normally, so Real Madrid's midfield defense is still guaranteed.

Thinking of this, all members of the Real Madrid coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief.

In the four days that followed, Real Madrid's main players who resumed their normal training rhythm were slowly recovering.

But in general, Mourinho was not particularly satisfied.

Because Di Maria and Arbeloa had some minor muscle strain problems, Alonso was directly advised by the team doctor to rest in the next round due to muscle fatigue.

This added a lot of troubles to Mourinho's deployment.

Fortunately, the remaining core players such as Ronaldo, Leon, Pepe and Ramos are fine.

Otherwise, Mourinho would definitely not be able to continue to calmly think of a solution.

All La Liga fans are looking forward to the last round of league battles before the Christmas holiday.

Among them, the La Liga strong dialogues between Malaga VS Real Madrid, Valencia VS Getafe, and Valladolid VS Barcelona are naturally the most attractive to fans.

But just one day before the battle, "AS" suddenly broke the news.

They published the explosive news that Barcelona's top management and Guardiola had a complete fallout due to disagreements after several meetings.

According to reports, Guardiola and some players in the Barcelona locker room have brought the conflict to the surface.

However, some players, relying on their familiarity with the club's top management, no longer take Guardiola's warning of punishment seriously.

When this report came out, few Real Madrid fans took it seriously, and Real Madrid's players were even more unaware of it during training.

But in the afternoon, when major Spanish media began to reprint and follow up on the exclusive news of "As", fans in the entire La Liga circle could not sit still!

Barcelona Club just released a rumor-refuting news in the afternoon, but just at night, Guardiola said on his personal social media that he did submit a resignation application to the club.

"There are no strange reasons speculated by the media. I feel a little tired mentally, so I submitted a resignation application. It has nothing to do with the players."

Guardiola's statement was very implicit, and did not involve any Barcelona executives, and specifically pointed out that it had nothing to do with the players.

But in the public opinion discussion that has already exploded at this moment, no one cares about these.

Barcelona fans are in great pain, and many are even shouting pessimistic slogans such as "We are finished!"

When Guardiola announced that he had renewed his contract with the club for two years last year, these Barcelona fans were as happy as they were now.

But for Li Ang, who has learned about this matter at this moment, Guardiola's departure is a very normal thing.

Because in his memory, Guardiola had already had the intention to leave last year.

Because the current Barcelona is no longer in his "control".

Whether it is that the top management no longer fully supports his team building concept, or that some of the existing Barcelona players no longer obey his discipline.

He would not accept any of these two things, let alone that they are happening together now.

When Guardiola announced the renewal of his contract, Li Ang guessed that Guardiola should have barely endured it and wanted to take Messi and Iniesta, his proud disciples, to make another push for results.

Perhaps, he did not want to see Barcelona being completely suppressed by Real Madrid when he left office.

But now it seems that Guardiola is still the same Guardiola.

Although he seems to be more graceful and calm on the field.

But in the locker room and on the training ground, he is actually an absolute "tyrant"!

He is not much different from Mourinho in nature. They are both paranoid and "madmen" who are firmly loyal to their own tactical ideas.

Therefore, when facing betrayal, even if they think they can still tolerate it, the paranoia and rebelliousness in their bones will not allow it.

Barcelona, ​​this time they will lose their meritorious coach forever.

There are 13,000 words left, but fortunately, I feel that my thoughts are still smooth tonight.

I will post as much as I can tomorrow.
