Chapter 27 His Road Is the Loneliest and the Most Glorious [The Author Is Not Short, Really Not Short! ]

On the evening of September 28, Auxerre's home stadium, Stade Abe-Deschamps.

Accompanied by the exciting UEFA Champions League theme song, the UEFA Champions League group match between Real Madrid and Auxerre slowly kicked off.

When the live camera swept over the players of the two teams who were lined up, it suddenly and abruptly swept over the Real Madrid bench.

Granero, Dudek, Canales, Las Diarra who had just returned from injury, and a dead midfielder.

Many fans who had just read the recent news about the turmoil in the Real Madrid team smiled knowingly.

In China, many Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game on time could not help but curse directly.

"He looks like a dead man! A pair of dead fish eyes, and he wants to compete with Li Ang for playing time. You'll die on the bench!"

"No, what was Mourinho thinking at the time? Why would he buy such an ugly player to Real Madrid? Khedira is much more handsome than him!"

"Las Diarra, who sits next to him, is more handsome than him. At least Las Diarra doesn't argue in the media. It's the right way to fight for the order of appearance based on his ability."

The dead front midfielder may not have thought that at this moment in the far east, countless fans are offering him ruthless abuse.

This also directly reflects the gradual reversal of Li Ang's domestic public opinion environment and the gradual rise in popularity.

Many fans who were led to scold Li Ang at the beginning have now come to their senses.

Li Ang is not bored. He just became the captain of the national youth team a year ago, but he fell out with his superiors at the beginning of this year.

If Li Ang really doesn't want to play for the country, then he should just refuse to accept the national team's call-up at the beginning. Why wait until he becomes the captain of the national youth team to do this?

Outsiders don't know the ins and outs of a certain association, but these old fans have more or less understood it.

Perhaps, as Li Ang said, he has thought about endurance, but the "greed and shameless" of some people really exceeds his tolerance limit.

So he finally used the most tragic way to express his dissatisfaction and determination.

After all, a young player who can already start in Real Madrid really doesn't need to ruin his reputation in China!

After thinking this through, countless Chinese fans quickly changed their attitude towards Li Ang.

In addition to the fans who have always firmly supported Li Ang's choice, at least the vast majority of domestic fans have become supporters of Li Ang.

And the official media did not avoid or restrict Li Ang.

After all, a certain association is a certain association, and their hands cannot reach the official media.

Wutai broadcasts as it should, and blows as it should.

He Wei was in charge of commentating La Liga before, so he was close to the water and got the moon first. He had already happily commented on several Real Madrid games where Li Ang started.

And today's Champions League group match was also commented on by him and Zhang Lu.

Seeing Li Ang's handsome and familiar face appear in the live broadcast, the two of them quickly started to talk.

Nicknames like "New Makelele", "Castilla Essien", and "Little Marcos Senna" were given to Li Ang.

But this time it was not just the two of them who were bragging, these nicknames were spread from the Spanish media.

And Li Ang also won the initial recognition of the Spanish media and fans with his stable performance.

At present, the Chinese overseas team is shrinking year by year and the talent gap is almost broken.

The commentators are naturally very happy that Li Ang, such a treasure, has appeared and foreign media are helping to praise him.

As for other more sensitive issues, they have neither the ability nor the heart to ask and deal with them.

Now they can see Li Ang, a Chinese national, shining in La Liga and the Champions League.

They are very lucky and happy.

".Okay, the game is about to start! Coach Zhang, please introduce the starting lineups of both sides to the audience today!"

"Okay, for Real Madrid, Mourinho still arranged the 4-3-3 formation that they played very skillfully some time ago.

On the defensive line, Ramos and Pepe are the central defenders, Carvalho is resting, Marcelo is the left back, and Arbeloa is the right back.

In the midfield, Li Ang and Alonso are the double defensive midfielders, and Khedira is the central midfielder.

On the forward line, Ronaldo is still in charge on the left side, Higuain is the starting center forward, Benzema is the right winger, and Di Maria is on the bench.

On the Auxerre side."

Accompanied by the hypnotic commentary of Coach Zhang, countless Chinese fans also looked at the "star-studded" Real Madrid starting lineup.

When thinking that Li Ang is now fighting side by side with these stars, countless domestic fans still feel a very unreal dream.

Fortunately, the referee blew the whistle in time to pull them back to reality.

Benzema passed the ball back to Xabi Alonso, and Alonso, facing the pressure from the Auxerre striker, quickly passed the ball back to Li Ang who was responding behind him.

Well, this scene is real!

Many domestic fans who saw Li Ang cooperate with Real Madrid stars in this game had an inexplicable sense of happiness in their hearts.

And the Chinese fans who had watched the new season of Real Madrid games before were actually not very calm at this moment.

Yes, they have seen Li Ang and Alonso, Khedira, Marcelo, and even Di Maria and Ronaldo pass the ball.

But at this moment, their inner touch and emotion were no less than the first time they saw this scene.

"Li Ang's passing and receiving are very stable, not panicking at all! In the last Champions League match against Ajax, his stable performance has won unanimous praise from the Spanish media! But at that time, there were different voices saying that Li Ang's performance was okay because he was playing at the Bernabeu, at Real Madrid's home stadium, but now, looking at Li Ang who is still performing well at the Abbe-Deschamps Stadium, I wonder what these people will think!"

The game has only been going on for about five minutes, and both Real Madrid and Auxerre are still in a rhythm of attack and defense that is testing each other.

Li Ang's performance can only be said to be mediocre.

After all, if you want to shine in his position, you can only wait until the opponent presses forward or launches a threatening counterattack.

But this does not prevent He Wei and Zhang Lu from constantly praising him.

Because he is indeed very stable, not to mention his calm expression, he is also very calm when passing and receiving the ball in the intervals when he occasionally directs his teammates in the midfield and backcourt to rush for defense.

At the age of 19, he started for Real Madrid in the Champions League, playing as a defensive midfielder steadily without making mistakes.

Can't you brag about this?

What else do you want!

And in the middle of the night in China, in the windows that were dimly lit, in the commentary of He Wei and Zhang Lu who suppressed their excitement.

Countless Chinese fans stared at the TV screen, and gradually no longer saw the figures of other Real Madrid superstars, only the calm and determined boy.

Many people couldn't help but shed tears when they thought that Li Ang, who was only 19 years old half a year ago, almost faced the irrational and angry attacks of millions of fans alone.

At that time, Li Ang did not make any excuses for himself, and he also thanked the few fans who cheered him up and left messages on his personal social media from time to time.

But in his heart, did he really not feel a little bit of grievance and unwillingness?

Maybe he did.

But he still chose to digest all the negative emotions alone, and walked forward alone and firmly on his professional football path.

From Castilla, to Real Betis, and then to Real Madrid!

Li Ang's efforts are lonely, his struggles are lonely, and he is even more lonely in the process of exploring his career path.

Because before him, there was no domestic "predecessor" who could teach him any useful experience.

He can only rely on himself.

He is the only one who has withstood the previous unfavorable public opinion storm and endured the backstab and condemnation from "his own family".

Perhaps, when he made up his mind to go to Spain six years ago to receive strict professional youth training, his path has been determined.

His path.

The loneliest.

The most glorious.

When it is put on the shelves, you will know what the real "bang! bang! hard!" is.
