Starting From Playing as a Defensive Midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 169 Goodbye Barcelona! Real Madrid's Goal Is to Wipe Out the Premier League! [Please Subscribe! ]

The night of February 26, 2013, was a night that made Atletico Madrid fans excited and excited.

It was also a sleepless night that made countless Barcelona fans sad.

The "Madrid Duo" seemed to have become a name known to European fans on this night.

Atletico Madrid also used the domestic cup performance that eliminated Barcelona to once again announce their strong rise to the world.

Last season, Real Madrid laid the foundation for its revival by defeating Barcelona head-on, and this season Atletico Madrid also became famous in the same way.

Barcelona has become a stepping stone for the two Madrid teams.

How can this cruel situation be accepted by Barcelona fans who were still confident and could overlook all the fans of other teams more than a year ago?

But the reality of Barcelona now is like this. The meritorious coach left, the team's rotation lineup was thin, and the previous three-line support ended in failure.

The most critical point is that Barcelona has played so many King's Cup games in vain, and now the disadvantages of the main players' fluctuating state have been fully revealed.

In the second half of the season, the physical condition of Barcelona's main players is obviously problematic.

There is almost no time for adjustment. Both the league and the Champions League have reached the stage of sprinting, so Barcelona still has to make a choice.

After being eliminated from the King's Cup and losing to Milan 0-2 in the first round of the Champions League knockout round, is it necessary for them to continue to support both lines?

Should they focus on stabilizing the league results and fight for the La Liga championship while Real Madrid still has to fight for the Champions League in the second half.

Or do they try their best to reverse Milan and then continue to make progress in the Champions League and the league?

This question once again tested all Barcelona players, coaches and fans.

However, before they made a choice, a bigger test had come to them.

They were going to the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid, the current La Liga boss!

Before this battle began, Mourinho did not ask Real Madrid's players to continue to keep a low profile in public opinion.

This was a league decisive battle expected by the Real Madrid coaching staff.

If Real Madrid wins the head-to-head match against Barcelona, ​​they will lead Barcelona by five points with one less game.

Counting the most ideal replay result, the expected points of Real Madrid leading Barcelona will be eight points!

This point difference is enough to exert continuous pressure on Barcelona.

Just like last season, when Real Madrid's lead reaches about three wins, Barcelona will start to lose its composure.

If Guardiola is still leading Barcelona now, with the results of the first half as a reference, Mourinho may be more cautious.

But Vilanova, Mourinho admits that he is an excellent coach who is very suitable for the Barcelona system, but he can't be the commander of this Barcelona.

Vilanova will be very strong in a favorable battle, but he can't withstand the adverse situation.

Mourinho has this confidence. After all, there are many head coaches with leadership qualities in football.

If Vilanova wants to completely control this Barcelona, ​​it is impossible without three seasons of cleaning up the locker room and recruiting players.

So from the public opinion before the war, Mourinho directly showed his madman nature.

Pressure, put pressure on Barcelona and Vilanova in advance from the public opinion!

And Real Madrid players also expressed their confidence in defeating Barcelona in the pre-match interview like Mourinho!

"I know Barcelona is ready, but Barcelona must first accept the fact that it has fallen from being a top-tier team in football.

This is the current football landscape. Every two or three years, there will be stronger teams that join the ranks of top teams.

And some of the original top teams are constantly regressing, from top to first-tier, and then from first-tier to second-tier.

Inter Milan was like this a few years ago, and now Barcelona is also following this old path.

I think there are only two and a half teams that can be called top teams this season.

Real Madrid and Bayern are two complete top teams, and Dortmund is half, because they still need further growth and transformation.

Barcelona is no longer among such top teams, which is a pity.

Even if I don't want to say something controversial like 'Barcelona is not as good as us and Bayern', this is the fact."

Li Ang's sharp and straightforward remarks have once again become the focus of the entire Spanish football world.

No, perhaps it has become the focus of the entire world football world.

Previously, some industry insiders may have commented that Barcelona's strength has greatly declined.

But it is the first time that a popular star like Leon has come out and said that Barcelona is far inferior to Real Madrid and Bayern.

Combined with the fiery words that Leon used to attack Barcelona fans and the club last season, many Barcelona fans were once again angry with Leon.

"He did it on purpose, he must have said it on purpose! This Madridista bastard!"

"I hope the players will not be disturbed by such remarks, and they must teach Real Madrid a lesson at the Bernabeu!"

"We must protest and submit articles to Mundo Deportivo. We want to accuse Leon of defaming Barcelona's reputation!"

"Go to his social media and blast him!"

"He dared to say that we are no longer a top European team, damn it!"

Countless Barcelona fans who broke through the defense launched a strong counterattack in the public opinion.

However, Real Madrid fans have been ready for this, and the Barcelona fans who came to Li Ang's social media to make trouble were sprayed back.

And whether it is said that Li Ang is arrogant or that he is damaging Barcelona's reputation, the pro-Barcelona media do not have much confidence to criticize Li Ang in public opinion.

Barcelona has only won one game against Real Madrid in various competitions in the past two seasons, and that was last season's Spanish Super Cup, which was a small victory that did not affect the overall situation.

In the case of a completely inferior record, to be honest, there is no confidence to spray people, and it would be even more embarrassing if you spray people and lose the game!

The public opinion counterattack with thunder and rain is like a mosquito flying by Li Ang's ear.

And Mourinho was even more fired up at the pre-match press conference, and bluntly agreed with Li Ang's statement and views.

Many Catalan journalists were so angry that their faces turned green, but more journalists were just having fun and wrote about the interesting things happening on the spot in their match reports.

Chinese media reporters did not publicize the "exciting" scene on the spot.

However, they still sent the photos of Mourinho's verbal battle with Catalan journalists back to China truthfully.

Even if the journalists did not add fuel to the fire, the domestic fans were still very enthusiastic.

Many pictures were freely created by domestic fans and then posted on the forum.

Some fans who did not know whether it was true or not believed it and accelerated the spread of the news.

By the morning of the match, the report that "Mourinho strongly mocked Barcelona's weak strength" had already spread in China.

As a result, several fans who had created the second creation at the beginning had to urgently come out to refute the rumor.

Li Ang, who was surfing the Internet, could not help but forward a fan's Weibo post to refute the rumor, and added a homemade panda head laughing and crying expression picture.

Then he became popular again.

It was not because of his forwarded content that he became popular, but because of the panda laughing and crying emoji picture he made himself!

Countless fans and onlookers left messages under Li Ang's Weibo asking for this laughing and crying emoji picture without watermark.

Seeing that domestic netizens were so enthusiastic, Li Ang posted another Weibo and shared the panda laughing and crying emoji package without watermark.

As a result, this panda head laughing and crying emoji package quickly spread on the domestic Internet that day.

Whether it is Weibo, major sports forums, Tieba or Penguin Chat, many netizens who don't know the reason will see such a magical panda laughing and crying emoji package appear.

It can only be said that Li Ang did not mean to create this path of memes, but he went further and further.

Li Ang, who once again caused a wave of discussion in China, also brought more attention from Chinese netizens to the Spanish national derby.

The president of the La Liga League looked at the overseas ratings that had been increasing since the start of the game that night, and the whole person was smiling.

Now it is Li Ang and Real Madrid who are making the most of the profits in the Chinese market, and the entire La Liga is following behind to reap the benefits.

But even this morsel of benefits has made La Liga full.

After all, La Liga is not like Li Ang who is still selective about endorsements. Many large-value endorsement contracts are still under negotiation or rejected after consideration because they are not in line with their own positioning.

La Liga basically "accepts everyone who comes". The Chinese sponsors are happy to pay and their requirements are concise and clear, which makes all La Liga teams jealous.

From this point alone, Li Ang's existence has completely protected La Liga's expansion and growth in the East Asian market.

Even though it is not as good as the Premier League now, the growth rate of La Liga's brand value in China has entered a period of wild growth.

What is rising every quarter is not a simple value index, but a pile of banknotes!

So some care from La Liga comes naturally.

It's not about helping Real Madrid to blow black or biased whistles, but to ensure that Real Madrid will not encounter some ridiculously biased whistles.

Then at the Bernabeu home court, the home whistle should be given in place. If this is done, the La Liga will be very respectful.

This is the case with today's Spanish national derby.

The referee Laos changed his "card master" style and whistled the game between the two teams with a relatively loose scale from the beginning.

After Real Madrid's players have tested Laos' style today, they don't have much psychological pressure in the confrontation.

After Barcelona's midfielders suffered several losses, they once again put pressure on the referee.

However, Laos didn't get used to it. His whistle scale today was on this scale, which applies to Real Madrid players and Barcelona players.

But if anyone wants to question his penalty standards, he doesn't mind turning into a card master again.

Xavi was the first to see that something was wrong, and quickly pulled Busquets and Alves away from the referee.

Alba, who was a beat slow, was called aside by Laos and received a verbal warning at the start of the game with a confused look on his face.

All the Barcelona players understood at this moment that Laos was just killing chickens to scare monkeys!

Whoever dares to attack the referee again will be given a card.

The commentator of Movistar also said that the Barcelona players need to restrain their small actions.

It is normal for Real Madrid to get the home whistle at home. Didn't Barcelona also get the home whistle in the national derby at Camp Nou?

So it is the most important thing to relax and focus on the game itself.

Vilanova also called on his players to stay calm on the sidelines.

Mourinho calmly signaled his disciples to continue to put pressure on Barcelona.

Laos has given the standard for the scale of whistles, so Real Madrid must use it openly.

Strong confrontation, oppressive defense, counterattack, and limit Messi's performance.

Real Madrid set up a net step by step, waiting for Barcelona to start struggling in the tactical trap and eventually lose the strength to resist!

In the last round of the national derby, Guardiola's tactic of letting Messi retreat is no longer applicable to Barcelona.

Because Modric was on the bench today, Li Ang started as the central midfielder, or in other words, as the "free man" in the frontcourt.

Matuidi and Alonso were the double defensive midfielders, so today Li Ang went to Messi who was hidden in the midfield as soon as he came on the court!

This shameless tactical design that was meant to crush Barcelona's only explosive point really made countless Barcelona fans anxious.

Li Ang talked to Messi again, and he was just talking shamelessly anyway, so Messi could only stare at him helplessly.

What can be done? Barcelona's offensive end now basically relies on Messi to explode and drive the front line.

He can break through and pass the ball when he is entangled by Li Ang, but his teammates' finishing ability is not very good.

Villa was very stable before, but his tactical position in Barcelona has been declining year by year in recent years, and his state has long been much worse than before.

These long-standing problems have been bothering Messi and the entire Barcelona since the beginning of this season.

Aguero, whom Messi had hoped for in the winter window, did not come, Guardiola left, and Barcelona did not make any signings.

After Vilanova took office, he was unable to improve the forward problem.

It has become a dead end.

Other teams do not have defensive players who can limit Messi's performance one-on-one, so Barcelona is not very afraid in most games.

Messi is strong enough to support Barcelona's offensive system alone.

But when it comes to Sevilla and Real Madrid, Barcelona has a hard time playing, because Medel and Li Ang make Messi uncomfortable.

Once Messi is uncomfortable, Barcelona will be constipated at the end of the attack, and there is really nothing they can do.

After Real Madrid firmly defended the middle, they attacked Barcelona's quick counterattack as soon as they got the ball, which was considered to be the implementation of the tactical plan formulated by Mourinho before the game.

The home fans of the Bernabeu cheered non-stop as soon as they saw that their team had taken control of the game rhythm.

The waves of cheering were higher and higher, sweeping the minds of the Barcelona players.

And Real Madrid's mature style of play now also made it difficult for Barcelona to find a breakthrough point.

Li Ang's growth rate is still too amazing.

His flexible posture and extremely fast reaction speed made Messi once again spend a lot of physical energy on the offensive end.

Li Ang did not have any dissatisfaction with tactical sacrifices. He was stronger, but his mentality was the same as before, and he was still stable.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Li Ang and Di Maria, who was retreating, suddenly changed their targets and double-teamed Iniesta, who was also retreating!

Xiaobai's ball control was still stable, and he picked up the ball and passed it to Messi at the first time.

But then Matuidi, who was pressing forward and defending, was very alert to steal the ball!

Li Ang immediately moved forward in the middle, and Matuidi's pass followed!

While Busquets chose to keep an eye on Di Maria who was also moving forward, Li Ang sent a long-distance pass to his own left side!

It was not Ronaldo, but Marcelo who replaced Coentrao in this game!

In the first 35 minutes of the first half, Marcelo did not move forward much, and played quite conservatively today.

He helped Matuidi to hold the left defense area well and withstand the successive attacks of Alves and Sanchez.

Many fans thought that Marcelo had honestly followed Mourinho's instructions today and would defend the left side like Coentrao.

As a result, Marcelo's active and decisive forward movement still shattered their speculation.

Needless to say, Ronaldo's ability to contain the opponent is naturally needed. Alves who chased back and Mascherano who pulled to the side both forced Ronaldo who cut inside.

As a result, Marcelo did not seek cooperation with Ronaldo after he arrived, but passed the ball directly to Benzema in the penalty area!

This was also the first time that Benzema received the ball in Barcelona's penalty area!

Pique was ready to compete with Benzema for the header, and he had the confidence.

Unfortunately, Marcelo passed a half-high ball this time.

It was difficult for the attacking side to handle it, and it was also difficult for the defending side to handle it!

Pique was thinking whether to half-raise his leg to block the ball out of the penalty area, but Benzema had already taken a decisive step to block the position, and then confidently chose to half-turn and volley!

This was an extremely difficult shot.

But Benzema was very confident in his sense of smell, technique and physical condition in front of the goal!

And just a second later, the football that was hit quickly across the line and hit the net also completely stunned Valdes!

A wonderful goal in the style of Van Nistelrooy appeared at the Bernabeu again!

And Ronaldo, who has always been calm, did not hold back this time. He widened his eyes, smiled and covered his forehead, and looked at Benzema as if to say:

"It seems that you have left happiness in the usual league, so strong in fighting tough battles?"

Li Ang was also in a good mood and chased Guo Feng all the way to the corner flag area!

With this finishing efficiency, Real Madrid's midfielders and backfielders were at ease with how to defend and how to fight with Barcelona's midfield!

With a one-goal lead in hand, all Real Madrid players on the field punched to celebrate!

Guo Feng's head was also slapped by his teammates, but he seemed to feel nothing at all, grinning happier than anyone else.

Barcelona's players began to panic.

Because they have experienced such scenes too many times in the past two years.

As long as Real Madrid takes the lead first, the defense and counterattack can be fought to the end, torturing all Barcelona players to the point of losing confidence.

So the result of losing to Real Madrid always makes Barcelona players feel particularly uncomfortable.

Not only because they lost to their mortal enemy, but also because this way of losing is completely torture.

After the half-time game, Vilanova made a bold decision.

He must take the initiative to attack instead of defend, and cannot let Real Madrid drag the rhythm of the game into a situation that is unfavorable to Barcelona.

But at the beginning of the second half, Barcelona faced the midfield that Real Madrid almost gave up on its own initiative.

Mourinho actually didn't expect Barcelona to choose to press forward in a big way at the beginning of the second half.

He just formulated a tactic to lure Barcelona's midfield and backfield players to press forward first, and then wait for an opportunity to continue Barcelona's counterattack.

However, Barcelona's overwhelming force that completely disregards the defense is in line with Mourinho and Real Madrid players' minds.

Their fake retreat has become a real retreat.

In terms of the defense of the center line, even if Essien didn't play today, Alonso, Leon, and Matuidi's three midfielders combined.

The ability to sweep and intercept is also top in Europe.

Barcelona wants to attack, but Real Madrid is not afraid at all. Leon and Matuidi are at full firepower, and they madly press Barcelona's ball holders without paying any attention to physical consumption.

Of course, Leon's focus is still on Messi.

In the chaos, Messi got more opportunities to play than in the first half, but Real Madrid had to defend in front of the defensive third zone.

Even though Messi's mid-range and long-range shooting ability is very good, he can't shoot at will from more than 30 meters away from the goal.

With the referee's whistle being relatively loose today, Real Madrid's physical confrontation and defensive pressure were quite sufficient.

Barcelona only got one chance to shoot in the first 20 minutes of the second half!

It was still from Messi's free kick.

There was no chance of shooting in the open field, and Real Madrid's three defensive midfielders were so solid in the half that they almost suffocated Barcelona fans!

Messi had no choice but to enter the "lone hero" mode in advance.

And this was the beginning of Barcelona's defeat.

Because Messi's strong breakthrough will inevitably increase the probability of losing the ball, but Barcelona's midfield can no longer cover Messi and help Messi get the ball back.

Xavi and Iniesta's physical energy was depleted very quickly, purely because they were trained by Real Madrid's midfield.

Their defense was not in place, and Busquets's defense was in vain, because Real Madrid's counterattack personnel directly bypassed him and hit both sides, making Busquets extremely helpless.

When the game reached this point, Barcelona completely lost control of the rhythm of the game.

Real Madrid's counterattacks were more fierce than the previous ones.

In the 77th minute of the second half, when Di Maria was in full form and forced Alba into the Barcelona penalty area, Pique finally couldn't hold back his emotions and knocked Di Maria down with a shovel!

This was a very irrational defensive action.

Pique received a yellow card, and what made Barcelona fans even more desperate was the penalty kick for Real Madrid indicated by the referee!

Ronaldo kicked the ball into the middle of the goal without any hesitation, completely deceiving Valdes!

The score of 2-0 basically declared the end of the suspense of the game.

When the extra time ended and the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Xavi's legs softened and he began to breathe heavily while leaning on his legs.

Messi looked at Li Ang who was still smiling happily and came to exchange jerseys with him. He could only smile helplessly and exchanged jerseys with Li Ang.

However, this time the two did not make an appointment for dinner after the game.

Messi was in no mood, and Li Ang wanted to celebrate with his teammates.

After defeating Barcelona 2-0, Real Madrid successfully achieved its pre-match goal and the league performance goal for this stage!

While advancing rapidly in the league, Real Madrid also ushered in the second leg of the quarter-finals with Arsenal after four days of rest.

Sitting at the Bernabeu home court, Real Madrid still took a defensive stance first.

Throughout the first half, Real Madrid did not launch any decent offensive against Arsenal.

After defending for half the game, Real Madrid played a counterattack in the second half.

Arsenal could no longer pay attention to the defense in the backcourt and began to press forward to make a desperate attack.

Real Madrid seized the opportunity and Ronaldo scored a counterattack goal. Arsenal also scored a goal in the 81st minute of the second half by Mertesacker in a corner kick opportunity.

But at this moment, the total score has reached 4-1, and Arsenal's counterattack has no physical support, and can only get a face-saving 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu.

So far, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and Real Madrid have entered the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

After returning to their home court, Manchester United beat Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 and had no choice but to enter overtime with the opponent.

Fortunately, Nani was in great form in the overtime stage, and his continuous breakthroughs and fouls almost broke through Donetsk's left defense.

In the second half of the overtime, which was also the 113th minute of the game, Nani made a cross from the bottom to help Van Persie score a lore goal!

Finally, after 120 minutes of fierce battle, Manchester United defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 3-1 at home with a total score of 4-3, and also entered the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League!

On March 9 and March 10, the 27th round of La Liga kicked off. Barcelona and Real Madrid both won their respective games, one 2-0 against Deportivo La Coruna and the other 1-0 against Celta.

On the evening of March 12, the two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals started at the same time, and the most eye-catching battle between Barcelona and Milan started at Camp Nou.

And the result was just as Li Ang had guessed before.

Milan, who could not play a nerve-wracking attack, was pinned down by Barcelona in the midfield battle.

Messi and Villa each scored twice, completing a four-goal victory over Milan and advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Schalke 04 lost to Galatasaray at home and could only stop in the top 16 of this season's Champions League.

On the evening of March 13, Bayern Munich and Dortmund both fought for 90 minutes and finally defeated their respective opponents 2-0.

The quarterfinals of this season's Champions League are also freshly released.

Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Barcelona, ​​Galatasaray.

Among them, only Paris Saint-Germain and Galatasaray are slightly weaker, and the rest of the teams are traditional European giants.

If there is a choice, the six stronger giants will definitely want to draw Paris Saint-Germain or Galatasaray to play in the next round of knockouts.

It's a pity that UEFA just likes to make trouble.

Real Madrid Barcelona, ​​Dortmund and Bayern Munich are all divided into different halves.

Among them, Real Madrid vs. Manchester United, Dortmund vs. Galatasaray, four teams are in the upper half.

Bayern vs. Juventus, Barcelona vs. Paris Saint-Germain, these four teams are in the lower half.

As soon as the draw came out, the fans of Real Madrid and Manchester United were silent.

However, in the chat group of Real Madrid, Li Ang is still as confident as ever.

He even issued a new game slogan:

Our goal is to wipe out the Premier League this season!

There is one more chapter haha
