Chapter 5 That Kid Is Really Going to Start for Real Madrid [Please Collect and Vote! ]

Xabi Alonso asked again with some uncertainty, and after getting a positive answer from Li Ang, Alonso also became interested.

He and Li Ang were not familiar with each other.

Because he participated in the World Cup this summer and won the championship with Spain, he, Casillas, Ramos and others all got more rest time.

Therefore, these Spanish internationals did not participate in the pre-season training organized by Mourinho in mid-July.

However, he also watched the two friendly matches played by Real Madrid in the United States.

Li Ang's cooperation with Gago in the second friendly match made him shine.

Although he is still very young, Li Ang's performance on the field is very stable.

It may not be said that he is excellent, but the stability far beyond the age of 19 is enough to make Alonso have a good impression of Li Ang.

"Do you have a reason? If it's convenient to talk about it, because as far as I know, you have been playing as a defensive midfielder since joining the Real Madrid youth team. If you need it, I can actually share with you some more experience in defending in the backcourt. I think this may be helpful to your career development."

Alonso considered his words and tried to persuade Li Ang to spend more time on his defensive skills.

Because organizing a team is really not something that a young midfielder can master and use by studying hard.

This is the same as the mysterious thing of a striker's sense of smell in front of the goal.

First of all, you have to have a talent in this area, and secondly, find the right training direction, so that your growth can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Li Ang has been playing as a defensive midfielder in the youth team for so many years, which is very telling.

Li Ang does not have the talent to organize the team. If he does, the coaches of the Real Madrid youth training team are neither blind nor stupid.

It is obviously more in the interests of Real Madrid to cultivate a calm and calm organizational core than to cultivate a pure defensive midfielder.

To put it bluntly, even if you can't use it yourself, it will be more valuable to sell it as a core organizer in the future.

"Hmm? If I have any questions about defense, can I ask you for advice? Thank you so much! I want to seize every opportunity to learn as much as possible, even if I don't gain much in the end, but at least I have tried hard. It depends on whether it is convenient for you."

Alonso looked at Li Ang, who was very sincere in explaining the reasons in front of him and also knew how to "beat the snake with a stick", and suddenly felt that he shouldn't have mentioned the topic of sharing defensive experience just now.

However, after pondering for a moment, Alonso gradually relaxed his brows, and then patted Li Ang's shoulder heavily.

"After the training class is over, practice passing with me first, well, today can be regarded as the first day."

After Alonso said that, he signaled Li Ang to go to another training ground with him.

Li Ang, who reacted quickly, was also very excited and thanked repeatedly, and then followed Alonso to carry the simple equipment needed for practice with a well-behaved face.

Nacho, who was waiting to complete the extra training with Li Ang, was dumbfounded, and the rest of the Real Madrid players were also a little surprised.

Alonso usually gets along well with all the players in the team, and everyone is very united on the training ground and the field.

But as soon as the training session is over, Alonso almost always goes home directly after extra training alone or physical therapy.

In other words, Brother Long is very dedicated and gets along well with everyone, but privately, it is better to say that he and the Real Madrid players are good colleagues who respect each other rather than good buddies and good friends.

Li Ang, this kid, not only quickly got closer to Ronaldo and Benzema a few days ago, but today he even made Alonso agree to extra training with him?

What's going on? !

Can being handsome really be invincible in expanding social relationships?

Many Real Madrid stars with average looks fell into deep thought.

On the other side of the small training ground, Li Ang couldn't wait to get something for free. Oh no!

I want to ask Alonso for some organizational insights that I can't figure out.

After being asked a lot of meaningful questions by Li Ang, Alonso really believed in Li Ang's determination to learn.

This kid is not joking, he really wants to slowly learn how to organize a team!

When Alonso answered Li Ang's questions with his own way and experience, he looked at the other party's young but seriously thinking face, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart.

Like, Li Ang is so similar to himself when he was 19 years old!

He has a firm goal, ambition, and is also calm beyond his peers.

In addition to different talents, Li Ang can be said to be a replica of another 19-year-old Alonso.

This may be one of the reasons why Alonso finally agreed to let Li Ang practice with him.

He admires the firmness and seriousness of Li Ang.

Because he used to be like this, he took the initiative at the age of 19 and found the head coach to firmly explain that he wanted to take on the responsibility of helping the team to stay in the league.

Because of his brave determination, he finally made a good start for his career.

Now that he saw Li Ang, who was also in need of opportunities and recognition, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

However, Li Ang's serious questions and hard work made Alonso feel relieved.

He was motivated, could endure hardships and work hard, and had a sharp mind.

Alonso suddenly felt that Li Ang might not have no hope of making a breakthrough in organizing the offense.

Perhaps this breakthrough will take a long time.

But if Li Ang can maintain his current learning attitude and accumulate experience correctly without slacking off.

Sooner or later, he believes that Li Ang will bring him a "little surprise".

One wants to learn, the other is willing to teach, and is qualified and interested to teach.

So Li Ang and Xabi Alonso, this "strange master and apprentice", quickly became the focus of hot discussions at the Valdebebas training base for the next two days.

Of course, the gradual closer relationship with Alonso did not bring much improvement to Li Ang's tactical position in the team.

Mourinho has recently practiced the formation and tactics of Khedira and Alonso starting together.

The only difference is that when playing 4-2-3-1, Xabi Alonso will partner with Khedira to form a double defensive midfielder, and when playing 4-3-3, Khedira will be active on the right side of the midfield, and Alonso's position will be relatively further back.

Mourinho obviously has high hopes for Khedira.

Perhaps he hopes that this tall midfielder with good "hardware" can be like his former favorite Essien.

Use diligent sweeping and tough defense to protect the core of the team's organization.

In Real Madrid, this core is naturally Xabi Alonso.

But in the Beckenbauer Cup on August 14.

Khedira, who made his debut on the field for Real Madrid and started the game, did not play the performance Mourinho expected.

The German midfielder's confrontation ability can only be said to be acceptable, far from being as tough as his body looks.

The sweep was swept, and the coverage was indeed covered, but Khedira's defensive efficiency was very average.

And what's even more bizarre is.

It was completely opposite to Mourinho's expectation that Khedira could "wipe his ass" for Alonso.

In the game, Alonso became the one who had to distract his energy to "wipe his ass" for Khedira!

Because Khedira's desire to advance was too strong!

His active participation in the frontcourt offense did make Real Madrid's offensive operation smoother to a certain extent.

But he couldn't come back after advancing.

After organizing the attack, Xabi Alonso had to help Khedira clean up his ass and defend and intercept. It was outrageous that one person did the work of two people.

This is actually not bad. After all, Khedira played like this in the Bundesliga before. Mourinho still has the confidence to successfully transform Khedira into an iron-blooded defensive midfielder.

But after playing the Beckenbauer Cup match with Bayern, just two hours later, Khedira felt discomfort in his calf and hurried to the team doctor for a check-up.

Mourinho finally got the news that Khedira needed to rest for at least two weeks in his anxious waiting.

At that moment, Mourinho really cursed directly!

The pre-season game has not been finished yet, and Pepe, Garay, and Albiol are all injured.

Las Diarra was injured before and had to rest for two months. Now Khedira is also injured and has to rest for two weeks. He will almost miss all the remaining friendly matches and the first round of La Liga!

Real Madrid's luck this month is really unlucky to the extreme.

The defensive end was injured in large numbers, and the central defenders became the hardest hit area. Now the defensive midfield is also short of people.

So Mourinho had no choice but to temporarily use Li Ang, who has stronger defensive ability than Gago.

In two consecutive friendly matches, Li Ang got the opportunity to start and formed a "master-disciple double midfielder" with Xabi Alonso.

As for the effect, the anxious Real Madrid fans really couldn't see how good it was, but at least it was stable.

Many reporters praised Alonso for shouldering the burden of Real Madrid's midfield at this time, organizing the defense, which was really hard.

And Li Ang took on the responsibility of frontal interception next to Alonso, helping Alonso to double-team the opponent again and again, and the credit of top defense was naturally downplayed by the media.

However, even if Li Ang is "ordinary".

He got the opportunity to start in two consecutive friendly matches and almost played the full game time.

Such treatment quickly attracted the attention of many fans in Spanish football.

Because almost everyone understood Mourinho's explicit statement.

He may really use this oriental boy as the starting player in Real Madrid!
