Chapter 174 Fat Tiger's Real Madrid Debut, Li Ang: This Is My Brother [Please Subscribe! ]

"Gonzalo really didn't reach an agreement with the club?"

"No, he still wants to be guaranteed a starting position, but... Alas, there's nothing we can do about it. It's impossible for Karim to give up the starting position he has fought for now, right?"

"He just can't lower himself to be a tactical supporting role. The boss gave him a chance before, but he didn't want it. It's too late to talk about it now."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. It doesn't matter if we just chat here. We can just pretend we know nothing in the locker room."

"Understood."

After winning the game against Athletic Bilbao, Casillas, who was in a good mood, took the initiative to invite "his own people" to dinner.

Ramos, Leon, Arbeloa and others were all there.

Originally, Leon was just going to eat, but he heard a few people talking about Higuain's recent contract renewal.

In fact, it was almost what Leon expected. Higuain, who had completely lost his starting position and won enough championship honors, made a final effort.

But he still underestimated Ronaldo's tactical position in Mourinho's mind, and also underestimated the importance of Ronaldo's performance to Real Madrid.

From the beginning to the end, it was not Benzema who was competing with him one-on-one, but Mourinho was trying to figure out which center forward could best inspire Ronaldo's full firepower.

If Higuain could also be willing to be a tactical supporting role like Benzema, and would be more willing to take the initiative to make friends with Ronaldo.

Perhaps from the beginning, Benzema was destined not to have a chance to rise.

Even with the butterfly effect of Li Ang, the "cat and dog theory" did not come out of Mourinho's mouth.

But in the first half of the season, Mourinho's reliance on and optimism for Higuain were all obvious.

Unfortunately, Higuain did not choose the development path that Mourinho had drawn for him.

It is hard to say who is right or wrong in this matter. In terms of strength, Higuain is indeed slightly better than Benzema now, and it is normal for him to be dissatisfied.

But when a player is in a team, the most important thing is to see how well he fits in with the tactical system.

Benzema now fits Real Madrid's tactical system better than Higuain, both in offense and defense.

Li Ang could only sigh in his heart.

He has a good relationship with every player in the team now.

But everyone has his own career path and pursuit. If he can't reach an agreement with the club, he can only be mentally prepared to bid farewell to his teammates in advance.

After skipping Higuain's insider topic, the atmosphere in the private room became light again.

Now Real Madrid's double-line defense situation is very good, and with excellent results, there are naturally more laughter among the players.

Ramos and Casillas repeatedly praised Mourinho's "wise" decision to give up the King's Cup.

Looking at this posture, how can there be the dissatisfaction with Mourinho's management and tactical arrangements last season?

Victory and championships are indeed the best glue.

Compare the Real Madrid locker room that has been falling apart in memory with the united scene now.

Li Ang felt funny and funny in his heart, and kept echoing the words of his captain and vice-captain.

After the meal, the brothers said goodbye to each other happily.

Li Ang felt that his old captain should still be able to understand the seriousness of the situation now, and he was relieved that he didn't say anything he shouldn't say to his spendthrift girlfriend.

Anyway, the season is coming to an end. To put it bluntly, there is only about one and a half months left before the Champions League final.

In this one and a half months, Casillas' girlfriend can do whatever she wants, as long as it doesn't affect Real Madrid, or the Real Madrid players' Champions League defense.

Li Ang was too lazy to care about this mess anymore.

He has now changed the endings of many people in Real Madrid.

Some of them are not good endings, but more players and coaches have obtained completely different career paths.

How Real Madrid will develop in the future, in the new situation of football that has changed beyond all recognition, Li Ang is also unsure of the direction.

However, he has successfully passed his "leveling period"

If there are any turbulent storms in the future, he has enough confidence to grow further.

Only strength is the source of all honors and reputations, and he deeply believes in this.

And now, there is nothing that can hinder him from rushing on the road of improving his strength.

※※※

After a short break and resuming training, the morale of Real Madrid players is determined to win the next round of the league.

During the joint training, another young player from Castilla was transferred to the first team.

When Li Ang saw the familiar face that was not immature but slightly mature, he took him to greet the stars of the first team.

"Carlos, don't be too nervous. Follow me to get familiar with the tactics and new teammates. You may have a chance to play in the next round of the league. I will protect you on the court. Come on, I am optimistic about your future development!"

Hesse, who had just greeted the newcomer with a smile, was stunned when he heard Li Ang's words.

Did Li Ang say this to him?

The slightly naive Jesse was still confused, but the Castilla brothers who were familiar with Li Ang's temperament were not surprised.

Li Ang's introduction words can be slightly changed.

It's only because Matuidi is not here, otherwise he might be confused.

Because Li Ang used the same words when he introduced Matuidi to everyone!

However, Casemiro, who was newly promoted to the first team, didn't know the ins and outs of it, and was very grateful for Li Ang's kindness.

He was loaned to Real Madrid's second team from Brazil this winter.

Because of his good performance in the Spanish Second Division, he was favored by Karanka, so Mourinho simply transferred him to the first team.

The training process is the same as that of Nacho Morata and others before. First adapt to the training and tactics, and then rotate to play if you perform well.

If you can play tactically, you will stay in Real Madrid's first team.

However, it is already the end of the season, and Mourinho should consider letting Casemiro play in the first team to open his eyes and play two games to get familiar with La Liga.

This guy's potential is definitely no problem, and Real Madrid's gold medal scout in South America strongly recommends him.

If he can play something in the limited playing time later, Real Madrid will pay the buyout fee of several million.

The slightly shy Casemiro has almost followed Li Ang since the first day he joined the Real Madrid first team.

This look is exactly the same as when Li Ang followed Alonso.

So much so that Pepe and Marcelo teased and made a joke about the three of them.

Alonso smiled but said nothing, while Li Ang openly recognized the identity of Casemiro's elder brother.

He didn't dare to be a master, he was still learning things from Brother Long, how could he dare to teach Casemiro.

But he still had the courage to be a good elder brother.

Aren't Morata and Jesse his younger brothers now?

If it weren't for Nacho and Carvajal, his old acquaintances, who suppressed Leon once, he would have dared to call himself the leader of the Castilla group of post-90s.

But Leon is not the big brother for nothing. He usually pays for dinner with a group of brothers, and he is the most generous in giving gifts for birthdays.

There is no way. Now, except for him and Nacho, the other Castilla post-90s members in the Real Madrid first team are still signed with annual salary of hundreds of thousands.

This annual salary is not small for ordinary people, but it is certainly not much for players in the top league.

Leon himself is not short of money, so of course he is more generous on weekdays.

Morata felt a little awkward at first, not as natural as Jesse recognizing him as a big brother.

But when Leon gave him a famous watch and the latest Apple mobile phone on his birthday last October, this kid was very neat.

This time with Casemiro, it was no exception. After Casemiro finished training on the first day of his joining the team, Li Ang specially booked a famous Brazilian restaurant in downtown Madrid.

All the brothers, big and small, came to welcome the new little brother!

Wow, this enthusiastic posture almost moved Casemiro, a young man who was still a little inferior in his heart, to tears.

After the dinner that night, Li Ang took a large group of young Real Madrid players to a nearby private arcade to play for a few hours.

They were all young people. After eating and playing a few games, the relationship was naturally very fast.

After being sent home by Li Ang himself, Casemiro excitedly tweeted that night.

"Today I met a super good person, he is my good brother"

Casemiro, who is still in the "slightly famous" stage, has a small number of fans, so the tweet he sent naturally did not attract too many people's attention.

But thanks to the high-profile travel promotion by Li Ang and other Castilla brothers, Casemiro has been initially known by the majority of Real Madrid fans.

The views of these Real Madrid fans are simple and pure.

"This is a newcomer that the little lion is optimistic about. He can play with the Castilla gang. We have to support him!"

So before the league between Real Madrid and Real Betis started, Casemiro's social media fans ushered in a small explosion of growth.

At the pre-match press conference of the 32nd round of La Liga, Casemiro's name appeared in Real Madrid's 18-man player list.

After the sharp-eyed reporters found out, there was another round of digging for information and publicity.

The 21-year-old young Brazilian defensive midfielder, who is good at both offense and defense, is another potential newcomer brought back by Real Madrid from South America.

La Liga fans immediately became interested.

Real Madrid's current lineup of waists is already solid enough, and they are still training a defensive midfielder? !

Some people speculate that Essien will return to Chelsea next season, and Mourinho is preparing for a rainy day.

Some people also speculated that Alonso might transfer next season, so Mourinho planned to reserve a defensive midfielder.

But no matter which speculation it is, Casemiro, as a new player promoted to the first team by Real Madrid at the end of the season, has received a lot of media exposure and fan attention.

If it were a normal player, he would be too happy to be happy.

But Casemiro felt more and more nervous, fearing that his subsequent performance would disappoint Real Madrid fans.

He had played professional games in the Brazilian league for a long time, but now he is in Real Madrid, the center of the entire football world!

The pressure is quite different.

Li Ang couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

This little brother is really an honest man!

During the pre-match warm-up, Li Ang deliberately asked Casemiro to follow him to learn how to relax before the game.

"Guess how many people will be there today?"

"I don't know."

"Maybe 60,000 people!"

"Ah?!"

"Well, it's a pity that the Barcelona game is over this season, otherwise you can experience the feeling of going to Camp Nou, which can seat 100,000 people."

Li Ang talked a little, and seeing that Casemiro seemed more nervous, he stopped teasing him.

"Okay, okay, let me tell you, if you really get a chance to play today, you must remember that you have fought from the Brazilian League to La Liga. How many difficulties have you experienced in the process?

Compared with these difficulties, what is there to be nervous about in the scenes you are facing now?

Carlos, think about your family, your friends, and many Brazilian fans who will watch your performance in front of the TV today.

They are waiting to cheer and be proud of you. Do you want to represent the Brazilian national team on the local World Cup stage next year?"

After Li Ang finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, but patted Casemiro on the shoulder.

Casemiro widened his eyes, and licked his lips dryly for a long time.

All that Li Ang said was too much in line with his vision.

For his family and friends, and for the dream call-up from the Brazilian national team, he looked at the crowded Lopera Stadium again, but he felt relaxed.

When the game officially started, Casemiro and Morata sat on the bench, watching their main players play first.

This season's Real Betis is just like Levante last season. It is not a short-lived team that started well.

Levante ranked sixth in La Liga last season, and so far this season, Real Betis is also ranked sixth in La Liga.

Currently, Betis has surpassed Valencia by two points. If they can go one step further and overtake Malaga, which is only one point ahead of them, then Betis will be able to secure the qualification for the European War!

Li Ang did not expect that his encouragement to his former teammates in the first half of the league would become a reality.

Now Real Betis is in high spirits to qualify for the European War, and they are eager to get points even against Real Madrid.

But Real Madrid used overwhelming advantage to crush Real Betis' counterattack in the first half.

Today, Li Ang, who played as a central midfielder again, showed no mercy to his old friend Benyat.

He suppressed and targeted with all his strength.

Today, he played as a central midfielder more savagely than the defensive midfielder.

Whether it was a fight or a foul, his presence directly froze the core of Real Betis' midfield.

On the counterattack side, Li Ang was not soft at all. A decisive pass helped his forwards get the opportunity to face Betis's back line repeatedly!

However, he did not get an assist in the first half, even though Real Madrid took a 2-0 lead.

During the halftime break, Benzema looked at Li Ang and only grinned.

With his smile, Li Ang could no longer complain about his spitting today.

Yes, Li Ang's straight pass and the pass in front of the penalty area to Guo Feng today were both hit away by Guo Feng.

Instead, Guo Feng made a knife-edge ball in the penalty area for Ronaldo, but Ronaldo forced it into the goal!

What else can be said about this? Li Ang could only shake his head helplessly and blame himself for not having the luck to get data today.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Alonso, who assisted Di Maria with a long pass to score Real Madrid's third goal, was replaced by Mourinho.

Essien came on the court.

Four minutes later, Ronaldo, who scored a goal with a pass, also came off the court, and Morata came on the court.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mourinho was going to prepare for the next Champions League battle in advance.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Modric was replaced by Mourinho again, and this time it was none other than Casemiro, who had caused discussion among fans before the game!

Casemiro, who was only 21 years old and two months old, was no longer nervous and shy. After taking a deep breath, he shook hands and hugged Modric, and stepped onto the La Liga court with force!

This was his debut in Real Madrid.

At this moment, Li Ang also smiled and waved his arms towards the stands where Real Madrid fans gathered, signaling his fans to give more applause and encouragement!

The Brazilian commentator excitedly introduced this young Brazilian player who had performed well in the Brazilian league before.

Casemiro, who had calmed down at this time, quickly focused on the game.

Even though Real Madrid has taken a 3-0 lead, he still worked very hard to intercept and defend in the half.

When Casemiro used a neat shovel to disrupt the attack of Betis midfielder Nosa.

Li Ang happily pulled him up from the grass, patted his chest and encouraged him!

Remember his name, his name is Casemiro.

He will not let Real Madrid fans down!
