Chapter 178 If You Give Me Li Ang, Real Madrid Will Lose [Please Subscribe! ]

Klopp taught himself a lesson with his tactics.

He didn't win the bet.

And today he couldn't blame luck, because Dortmund had already taken the lead over Real Madrid in the first half by good luck.

But this luck didn't last too long, and the Lewandowski explosion he expected didn't come true.

So in the current situation, Klopp has very little tactical options, and it's awkward.

He didn't defend when he could before, but now he's in a dilemma.

And Mourinho decisively took the position of continuing the high pressure in the half.

Now Real Madrid doesn't want to defend, Real Madrid wants to score more goals and gain more advantages for the second round of the two teams.

At the critical moment, the reminder of Dortmund's assistant coach still made Klopp sober up.

Now is not playing in the group stage, nor in a decisive final.

He must make tactical decisions more calmly and steadily, which is related to whether Dortmund can go further this season.

The first round loss was at the Bernabeu, and Dortmund still has a chance to turn things around in the second round.

You know, they still have an away goal advantage, and the score is 1-2.

Is it really shabby to shrink the formation and defend at the last moment?

In contrast, if Real Madrid pressures and scores another goal, and the score is rewritten to 1-3, then the result will be shabby, right?

So Klopp's confusion didn't last long. In the 82nd minute of the game, he thought it through and started to change players and shrink the formation.

Kyle and Grosskreutz came on the court one after another.

Gotze and Kuba went off the court to rest.

Dortmund played a 5-4-1 formation, and even Reus retreated to the left side of his own half.

In Real Madrid's half, Klopp left Lewandowski to see if he could steal an opportunity to fight Real Madrid's counterattack.

His changes made Mourinho feel sorry in his heart.

Mourinho really hoped that Klopp would be stubborn to the end.

If Klopp dared to be stubborn, Dortmund would at least have to suffer Real Madrid's third goal today!

Only the appearance of Kyle and Grosskreutz added vitality to Dortmund's defense.

Otherwise, relying on the Dortmund defensive players who were obviously exhausted?

The Real Madrid offensive line with spare energy will sooner or later penetrate Dortmund's defense!

Klopp stopped, and Mourinho watched for another three minutes, and also signaled his disciples to slowly withdraw from Dortmund's half.

This fierce game that lasted almost 80 minutes slowly came to an end.

The neutral fans were very satisfied. There were not many goals, but the intensity of the game was almost full.

Putting aside the tough midfield strangulation of Real Madrid in the middle, the scene was still very exciting when the two teams who both liked to play fast breaks rushed against each other.

However, the fans of the two teams did not feel particularly happy or disappointed at the first time.

They all breathed a sigh of relief first.

Yes, they breathed a sigh of relief first.

Neutral fans feel that watching the game is exciting and addictive, but they feel that the emotions are too high, and their hearts can't stand it.

This game has unexpected lags, seemingly shaky defenses, tenacious equalizers, and dramatic mistakes in the second half.

For the fans of the two teams, neither side can stand it.

Fortunately, the final score seems acceptable to both sides.

Real Madrid at least reversed the score at home.

And Dortmund got an away goal, and they still have a chance to fight back at home in the second round.

It can't be considered a family happiness, but it can be considered as a win-win situation.

The referee on duty did not extend the game time too much. Just after about half a minute of stoppage time, he blew the whistle to end the game!

At this moment, Dortmund's players either leaned on their knees with their hands, lowered their heads and panted, or sat down on the grass to relax.

From the group stage to the current Champions League semi-finals, they felt that their physical strength and energy were particularly exhausted every time they played against Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's players are better now, but not much better.

Li Ang also took a few deep breaths, lifted his jersey and wiped the sweat off his face.

He was exhausted today.

Mourinho was ruthless today. He didn't replace Matuidi to relieve his defensive pressure until the end of the game.

In the last ten minutes of the first half and the beginning of the second half, in order to try not to let Brother Long and the back line be directly hit by the opponent, he ran so hard that his soles were hot!

But no matter how tired he was, he was still in a clear mood after today's tough battle.

Because he has enough confidence to be proud of himself today!

Go out and ask around, how many people in football can sweep the midfield and change the situation at the back?

At present, he is the only one!

Even in the next few years, Matic and Kante at their peak could not reach his level.

Because one of them is slower and the other cannot defend against high balls.

But he doesn't have these two shortcomings.

His absolute speed is barely the last one in the first-class football world, but his acceleration is now at the top entry level in football!

Kaka's explosive acceleration talent was not cultivated in vain this season.

His acceleration ability has now reached an ability value of 87, which is only "two steps away" from the threshold value of 89.

It can be said that now there are only a few explosive acceleration monsters in football.

For example, Messi, Robben, Bale, Ronaldo and Reus, sometimes he may be forced to move away in one step.

But he can stably defend against the rest of the normal speed forwards.

Because defending this type of player does not mean that he has to be faster than the opponent throughout the whole process.

It depends on whether he can keep up with the opponent's first five meters of explosive speed.

If he can keep up, he can fight in close combat, force the opponent to slow down, and then wait for an opportunity to kick the ball.

So when choosing to draw talent cards during the offseason last year, he gave priority to the talent of acceleration instead of speed.

It's not that the improvement of absolute speed is not important, but for him, the improvement of rapid burst is more conducive to the improvement of his defensive strength.

And the facts have proved his correctness.

At least when he played against Messi some time ago, the number of times he was blown up was much less than last season.

With enough speed and flexibility, Li Ang's strength and header ability values ​​have reached 86 and 87.

With very good ability values, Li Ang also has excellent positioning skills and decisive confrontation awareness.

So he doesn't have much problem in defending high-altitude balls.

At best, sometimes when facing the big center's retreat to get the ball, he will be a little passive.

After all, his height is now set at 1.85 meters, and he hasn't grown any more in half a year.

No matter how good he is at heading, sometimes when he meets an opponent who is 1.92 meters tall and weighs more than 90 kilograms, his body model is not the same level, and he has to admit that he can't squeeze.

But this is a rare case after all. Normally, Li Ang is now 1.85 meters tall and 83 kilograms in the defensive midfielder position.

That is also a "tank".

Flexible and fast, with enough confrontation ability, and he is also durable.

Against some central midfielders or front midfielders with worse physiques, Li Ang can directly suppress them.

For example, Gotze cough.

Speaking of Gotze, this kid didn't ask Li Ang to exchange jerseys after the game today, maybe his self-confidence was frustrated again.

Reus came up quite cheerfully.

Li Ang was not hypocritical, and chatted with Reus directly in German for a while. In the end, the two exchanged jerseys in a friendly manner and hugged each other to say goodbye.

After the game, Li Ang received a champagne reward symbolizing the best player of the game.

He Wei, who interviewed him, didn't mind getting dirty, and happily hugged Li Ang to celebrate the victory of the game.

Li Ang casually wore Reus' jersey, and accepted the interview with his bare upper body and champagne.

A masculine handsomeness and pure muscle beauty immediately broke through the screen, attracting countless domestic fans to cheer and take screenshots.

After the interview, Li Ang took the initiative to invite the domestic film crew to dinner.

There will be no dinner party in Real Madrid tonight. They usually hold a small dinner party after the two rounds of the knockout rounds are over and after the victory.

So Li Ang will have dinner with a few Castilla brothers tonight.

Duan Xuan and Zhang coach politely declined at first, but they couldn't resist Li Ang's enthusiasm for repeated invitations.

Finally, after Li Ang took a simple shower and accepted some media interviews, the group went straight to the private French restaurant that Li Ang booked.

He Wei took out a DV and recorded a short video of the dinner party.

Li Ang specially asked several of his brothers, including Casemiro, to greet the fans of his home country.

This can be considered as an early appearance, although it is unofficial.

But Li Ang thought that He Wei would also post something on Weibo after returning to China tomorrow, so it would be good to increase the popularity of these guys.

When the game ended, everyone came to the restaurant at about 10:30 pm local time, and they ate and chatted until midnight, and then everyone left happily.

Li Ang had to participate in recovery training the next afternoon to prepare for the 33rd round of La Liga, which was about to start with Atletico Madrid.

So after saying goodbye to He Wei and others, he went home to wash up and rest.

The commentary and interview team of Wutai also took a plane back to China the next morning.

However, whether it was He Wei or Li Ang, they underestimated the attention and discussion heat that the short video of the dinner party had aroused in China.

After all, the live broadcast industry has just emerged these days, and many cultural and sports stars are actually still separated from the public by an invisible wall.

So the kind of life atmosphere and down-to-earth communication method shown by Li Ang and others in the dinner party short video once again made the domestic people feel cordial.

Let's not look at the steak and foie gras French food on the table, and replace it with domestic stir-fried stews and so on. Li Ang's way of chatting and dining is not at all inconsistent.

So after the tough game, Li Ang became popular again in China because of his down-to-earth way of dealing with people.

The result of Real Madrid's 2-1 victory over Dortmund does not seem to be particularly concerned.

He Wei, Duan Xuan and Coach Zhang have become the object of crazy envy of domestic fans.

After all, they are eating and chatting with Li Ang!

Many domestic fans think they can do it, and they are self-taught in bragging at the dinner table.

It's a pity that this matter can only be envied.

However, they can see Li Ang's private side, which is much more peaceful and friendly than they thought, and these fans are also very happy.

After all, to put it bluntly, everyone has a fan filter. Whether they admit it or not, Li Ang's image in the hearts of domestic fans is very good.

But before, they also watched the media report on Li Ang.

Now that they see the real Li Ang offline, they are indeed in line with their "imagination", and as fans, they are naturally even happier.

Li Ang, who had a good sleep in Madrid, didn't know that domestic fans were discussing the video of him eating.

After the game with Dortmund, Real Madrid only had three days of rest, and they had to go to the away game to challenge Atletico Madrid on the afternoon of the fourth day.

Time was tight, Mourinho only dared to give the players half a day off, and Real Madrid's players naturally had no intention of paying too much attention to external public opinion.

The make-up game is coming soon, and the goal of the Real Madrid team in the recent league is to win three consecutive victories.

Once the three consecutive wins and nine points are obtained, even if Barcelona does not lose the chain, Real Madrid's lead over Barcelona will reach ten points.

At that time, with only four rounds left in the league, Real Madrid only needs to win one more game, and then they will win the 2012-2013 La Liga trophy in advance!

So, it is still hard, but it is the last period of hardship. After the hardship, there will be a sweet harvest.

No Real Madrid player is willing to drag the team down at this time.

Mourinho also saw the whole team training enthusiastically on the afternoon of April 24.

The intensity of the recovery training will not be very high, but Mourinho can't be satisfied with the high morale of the team.

Now is the time for Real Madrid to sprint on both fronts at the end of the season. The physical strength and energy accumulated by the main players in the previous rotation will be used at this stage!

On the afternoon of April 26, Mourinho even directly pointed out his starting eleven list at the pre-match press conference.

That's how confident!

But Simeone, who got the news, didn't dare to believe it at the first time.

He was afraid that Mourinho was playing some tactical smoke bombs and psychological warfare before the game.

After all, he is also studying the doorway in this area now, but if he says that he is playing this game with Mourinho, he is still ashamed.

So he was careful and made the final tactical arrangements according to his previous safe guesses about Real Madrid's starting lineup.

But on the day of the game, that is, in the evening of April 27, after Real Madrid really released the starting eleven, Simeone once again felt the pain of being tortured by Mourinho.

"TMD! The main players are really out?! Doesn't Mourinho plan to save his strength for the second leg of the semi-final against Dortmund?"

It's not Simeone's fault for scolding, after all, a normal coach would choose appropriate rotation.

The main players played three big games in a row?

Simeone just felt that Mourinho was crazy!

It was estimated that Real Madrid would adopt some rotation players, so Simeone's opening tactics were relatively radical.

This also made Atletico Madrid fall into a passive tactical layout at the beginning.

Facing Real Madrid with all the main players, the radical Atletico Madrid did not get any good results in the competition for control of the midfield.

However, on the defensive end today, Atletico Madrid still nailed the midline.

The midfield quartet of Raul Garcia + Mario Suarez + Gabi + Koke is really tough!

Raul Garcia also had a fight with Li Ang today, and the two fought each other at the beginning of the game.

Their similar physiques and aggressiveness made them dislike each other. The referee couldn't stand it after just ten minutes of the game.

After separating the two midfield tough guys who were pushing each other, the referee gave each of them a verbal warning.

Today is Atletico's home court, so it's normal for the whistle to be slightly biased towards Atletico.

Li Ang didn't say much, and his mind was quite calm at this time.

The previous way of breaking the game with force was not applicable to Atletico today. Li Ang quickly changed his mind. On the offensive end, he and Modric began to speed up the speed of passing the ball.

Atletico's tactical layout is generally more proactive and positive, and they also want to attack and create threatening opportunities.

Therefore, in Atletico's backcourt, there is still enough space for Li Ang and Modric to use.

To deal with Atletico's pressing defense, speeding up the pass and running and kicking are effective magic weapons.

This has rigid requirements for the skills of offensive midfielders.

At least in the area of ​​passing and receiving the ball in medium and short distances, the requirements are very high.

But for Li Ang and Modric, accurate short passes happen to be their technical strengths, and running and kicking is even more of a piece of cake.

The two's abundant physical strength and smart positioning are enough to support this set of tactical play.

Mourinho kept nodding his head as he watched the tacit cooperation of the two on the sidelines.

Benzema began to retreat frequently to serve as a midfield fulcrum, and Ronaldo and Di Maria also began to move inward to support.

When Real Madrid gave up part of its offensive speed and changed to playing smooth offensive passing and controlling football, gradually eroding Atletico's midfield defense, Simeone was in a bad mood.

Real Madrid's smooth passing and controlling is definitely not as smooth as Barcelona's in previous years, but it is enough to deal with the current game.

In the patient transmission, Li Ang and Modric were looking for killing opportunities.

In the 26th minute of the first half, the game situation that had been deadlocked for nearly half an hour was broken because of Modric's sudden straight pass!

Benzema's speed forward just avoided Gabi's interception, but before Godin approached, he cleverly knocked the ball back with his heel.

Miranda yelled to Mario Suarez who was chasing back not to give Li Ang a chance to shoot from a distance.

But Li Ang, who followed up at this time, did not have the slightest intention of shooting from a distance.

He pushed the ball to Modric without stopping, and Li Ang, who almost attracted Gabi and Suarez to double-team, created a comfortable passing space for Modric again!

Modric's frequent turning of his head to observe made him clearly aware of the running situation of the players around him at this moment.

So he sent a very decisive lob pass!

This lob pass from behind Atletico's defense line had not landed yet, but Ronaldo, who was blocked by Juanfran's defense, volleyed the ball towards the far corner of Atletico's goal!

Not above the far corner, but close to the inside of the post below the far corner close to the grass!

Courtois' scalp was numb and he could only sink his center of gravity as soon as possible to make a save.

But the low ball that Ronaldo, who had studied him long ago, deliberately hit still made him helpless!

Courtois, who was almost two meters tall, was still a beat late when he got to the ground!

Ronaldo, who successfully scored a goal, smiled so happily, and with Simeone standing on the sidelines with a dark face, it can only be said that this scene was amazing!

Ronaldo once again put the "Atletico killer" hat on his head firmly.

Although it was less than halftime at this moment, Simeone always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart that his team was going to lose to Real Madrid again today!

Looking at Li Ang celebrating with his teammates on the field, Simeone roared in his heart.

"As long as you give me Le Ang, Real Madrid will definitely lose!"

The next chapter may be a little later. I originally planned to post it before 10 pm, but my relatives who work there are about to return home, and I may have a meal with my family tonight.

But it should be no problem to post another 5,000-word chapter before 12 o'clock. I can continue to code for a while!
