Starting From Playing as a Defensive Midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 179 The Pain of Your Failure Is Already Our Medal of Honor [Please Subscribe! ]

Simeone is still envious.

He doesn't envy the large number of offensive stars in Real Madrid, but he envies Mourinho for having two offensive and defensive cores.

A big core Alonso sits in the backcourt to organize the team, and a small core Li Ang runs wherever he is needed. They can attack in front and defend in the back, and cover the whole field without any pressure.

He is not dissatisfied with the defensive midfielder combination of Gabi and Mario Suarez.

What he is afraid of is the comparison.

Whether it is Gabi or Mario Suarez, they are both good defensive midfielders, but they can't become the offensive and defensive core of a team.

If Gabi and Koke can merge to form a new player with their own advantages, Simeone will be very happy.

But this is only in imagination. Simeone can only pair Gabi and Koke together to use as a combination.

So he is very envious. Real Madrid has two team-building cores, but he only has one team-building combination.

Comparing Koke and Li Ang may be disrespectful to Koke, but Simeone can't control his comparison thoughts now.

"If Li Ang is my defensive midfielder, if I use Gabi and Koke to form a new midfield around Li Ang, I don't have to worry about the rhythm of attack and defense. Li Ang can also inspire Gabi and Koke to play better."

The more Simeone thought about it, the clearer his eyes became, but at the same time, his clear mind became sadder.

I can only fantasize, I can only fantasize.

Almost perfectly fit his requirements, and the best young team building core in his mind, in the hands of the mortal enemy!

Simeone sighed and looked at the court again, looking at the back of Real Madrid's No. 10 that was reflected in his heart.

He suddenly had a super bold idea...

Mourinho didn't notice that the coach next door was jealous of his direct disciple.

He was still concentrating on arranging tactics to limit Atletico's possible counterattack.

Mario Suarez and Gabi lacked creativity, and Raul Garcia's best offensive method was also to insert from behind.

In terms of creativity, only Atletico's left side was the most threatening today.

Felipe Luis and Koke, their creativity can provide more passing support for Falcao and Costa.

So after the game resumed, Modric's range of activities was biased towards the left side of the midfield, and Li Ang placed the defensive focus on his own right midfielder.

To put it bluntly, the clear card is to curb Atletico's left side.

Mourinho will not be polite to Simeone at all, and he will immediately press Atletico's seven inches after scoring a goal.

Costa was also annoyed by Pepe's defense today, and his retreat and support were not in good shape.

Falcao is still the same, and needs passing support.

Real Madrid blocked Atletico's two wing players outside the defensive third zone, and Falcao was the most uncomfortable.

He can score goals, but if you make a comparison, the double center combination of him and Costa may actually be better than moving Koke to the front line, so that Koke and Costa can form a new combination that can break the game.

The original historical line of the Villa-Costa combination of Atletico Madrid in the previous season was more threatening.

Because of more offensive autonomy, Villa's offensive organization ability is more comprehensive than Falcao.

When encountering this kind of situation where their own passer is restricted, at least Costa and Villa can try to get the ball and guide the offensive direction.

But Falcao is in a very uncomfortable situation. His independent offensive ability is not strong, and he is now used to the whole team serving the style of play.

Atletico Madrid is now the whole team feeding Falcao, and his number of goals directly accounts for more than half of Atletico Madrid's total goals.

This situation is outrageous, so Real Madrid's defensive tone and tactics against Atletico Madrid this season basically pay attention to two points.

Ramos keeps an eye on Falcao, and Li Ang cooperates with his teammates to keep an eye on Atletico Madrid's left wing.

Once these two points are achieved, it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to score.

After all, once Falcao is silent, the most goals scored by Atletico Madrid are Costa, who has seven goals in the league.

This description seems to underestimate Costa. He still scored seven goals in the King's Cup this season. With the three goals scored in the Europa League, the total number of goals is now 17.

But to be honest, the goals in the King's Cup and the Europa League are really a bit watery. It's no wonder that the players on the Real Madrid defense line don't think much of this Brazilian center.

Before the game, Mourinho asked Pepe to keep an eye on this guy, and many Real Madrid players didn't think so.

Now it seems that they are right. Costa is not a big threat to Real Madrid's defense.

But Li Ang is extremely supportive of Mourinho's tactical decision.

And today, it is precisely because Pepe is pestering Costa that he can be more assured to invest more energy in the offensive end and restricting Atletico's flanks.

Atletico's evolution is generally not enough.

If they play in the Champions League now, at best they can barely enter the quarterfinals, and they have to draw a good lottery.

But if they change the drawback of over-reliance on Falcao on the offensive end and Koke grows for another year, this Atletico Madrid will be qualified to enter the ranks of Europe's top teams.

Unfortunately, such an evolution will not happen now.

For Real Madrid, the current Atletico Madrid is strong enough, but it also has many flaws. It is not strong enough to be their opponent!

In the 41st minute of the first half, it was Ronaldo who received Benzema's inverted triangle pass and shot low to break through the gate guarded by Courtois.

This is Ronaldo's 40th league goal this season. Compared with last season, Ronaldo's goal efficiency in the league is not much lower.

But he is not the top scorer in La Liga now.

Because Messi scored another goal in the early game against Athletic Bilbao, pushing his league goal number this season to 42nd!

Well, the two superstars of the Spanish Super League have dragged this year's La Liga top scorer competition to the end of the league.

And the data is still so abnormal.

Messi currently has a personal league data of 42 goals and 12 assists.

Ronaldo has a personal league data of 40 goals and 8 assists.

If it were Ronaldo last year, he would definitely be anxious when he saw that his personal data was still behind Messi.

After all, Ronaldo had not yet regained the Champions League and won the season's treble, and he urgently needed to prove himself again in his personal competition with Messi.

But this year's Ronaldo is obviously calmer.

Or, it is the solid team behind him that gives him more confidence.

After winning the league championship ahead of schedule, he believes that Mourinho and his teammates will support him to score more goals in the remaining games.

Anyway, it was the same process last year. Mourinho's firm support finally allowed Ronaldo to successfully win the personal honors of La Liga and the European Golden Boot.

Ronaldo certainly still believes that he can defend the honor of the European Golden Boot this year.

He doesn't know what to say about assists.

Guo Feng has scored 14 league goals this season, and he has spit out at least five or six of the cakes he fed to his mouth, but he can't blame Benzema, who is willing to be a tactical supporting leaf for him.

So Ronaldo can only admit it in the area of ​​assists.

But in terms of goals, Ronaldo is now confident that he can beat Messi again!

Only two goals away, he may not be able to tie Messi in this game, but if he is only one goal away, there is still a lot of hope!

Ronaldo, whose heart was burning again, was more active on the offensive end.

At the beginning of the second half, he frequently moved forward to ask for the ball, and shot three times in seven minutes, two of which were shot into the goal frame.

Seeing this, the other players of Real Madrid also understood that their ace was eager to score a goal, and probably wanted to make another hat-trick against Atletico.

Then, help Luo Ge make another hat-trick?

Atletico, who had already been scored two goals by Real Madrid, had no choice but to press forward and attack.

They were not qualified to continue defending, and if they could not get points, then it would make no difference whether they lost to Real Madrid by two or three goals.

Real Madrid took this opportunity to counterattack repeatedly.

In the 64th minute of the second half, Di Maria passed the ball horizontally to Modric who was waiting in the middle of the counterattack.

After Modric decisively rushed into the Atletico penalty area, he was about to pass the ball to Ronaldo at the back post, but was pulled from behind by Luis and lost control of the ball.

The man fell to the ground, and the whistle sounded not slow at all.

Yellow card package!

Filipe Luis received a yellow card, and Real Madrid also got a penalty kick opportunity.

Seeing this, Mourinho did not even turn his head and directly called Morata and Matuidi to warm up on the sidelines.

After Ronaldo scored a penalty kick, raising his league goal number to 41 this season, and also performed a hat trick in this game.

Mourinho decisively replaced him and Li Ang, who played well in this game.

With a 3-0 advantage in hand, Real Madrid also shrank its formation and played a complete counterattack. Ronaldo and Li Ang left the field and began to rest easily.

In the 74th minute of the second half, Mourinho replaced Di Maria with Callejon.

Atletico Madrid had no offensive threat except for a goal that saved face two minutes before the end of the game.

The game ended with Real Madrid's 3-1 away victory over Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid once again defeated Atletico Madrid twice in the La Liga. This season, facing Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which are ranked in the top three in La Liga, Real Madrid has achieved an absolute advantage of three wins and one draw.

Atletico Madrid's disappointed fans can only wait for revenge against their city rivals next season.

The 33rd round of La Liga ended on the evening of April 29 with a draw between Real Betis and Deportivo La Coruna.

Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-1 in this round of the league and is currently seven points behind Real Madrid.

With five rounds left in the league (Real Madrid has six rounds left), there is still a theoretical possibility of a comeback against Real Madrid to win the championship.

Although the probability of this comeback is not high in the eyes of various Spanish media, what if it happens?

Barcelona fans and players still have a glimmer of hope.

After all, they don't need to play in the Champions League now, they just need to focus on the league.

Real Madrid will have to play the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, which will be another tough battle. Barcelona has every reason to wait for Real Madrid to fail.

With such an "expectation", when Real Madrid rushed to Dortmund, Germany in advance on the afternoon of April 30, Barcelona fans all supported Dortmund to do their best to beat Real Madrid.

It would be best if both teams had several injured players.

However, Dortmund fans at this time had no time to complain about the malicious cheering of Barcelona fans.

Because before the battle between them and Real Madrid started, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain had already started on the evening of April 30.

The Hornets fans are naturally very concerned about the performance of their arch-rival Bayern.

But what disappointed them was.

Paris Saint-Germain, who drew 1-1 with Bayern at home in the first leg, was hammered by Bayern for 90 minutes at the Allianz Arena in Munich tonight!

3-0!

Bayern didn't give Paris Saint-Germain any chance to counterattack. It was like they woke up before the final and eliminated Paris Saint-Germain very neatly.

Beckham, who played the last 30 minutes, burst into tears on the spot.

Ibrahimovic, who assisted Lucas Jr. to equalize the score in the first round, was also helpless.

However, Ibrahimovic only had red eyes and did not shed tears.

This outstanding performance of Paris Saint-Germain also made fans have more expectations for their development next season!

After losing to Inter Milan in the summer of 2010, Bayern returned to the Champions League final stage after three years!

And their final opponent this year will be between Real Madrid and Dortmund.

Real Madrid and Dortmund, who watched the Bayern game, became the subject of scrutiny the next day.

On the evening of May 1st, at the Westfalen Stadium, under the deterrence of the huge TIFO and the terrifying impact of the earth-shaking momentum, the players of the two teams once again took the stage to compete.

However, before the game officially started, Gotze, who came out with sporadic boos from the Westfalen stands, became the well-deserved focus of the scene.

Just after the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, Dortmund officially announced that Gotze would switch to Bayern next season.

This is a super deep-water news bomb that has blown up the entire German football world and even the entire European football world.

Dortmund's own first German post-90s rising star has been officially announced to switch to the league's rival club next season!

What a joke? !

Dortmund's fans were the first to split.

The second is the cohesion of the entire Dortmund team.

Yes, when Gotze and Dortmund both announced that Gotze would wear the Bayern jersey and play for Bayern next season.

The atmosphere inside the Dortmund locker room was completely different.

Many people had thoughts that they would not have had otherwise.

For example, Lewandowski, who only has one year left on his contract with Dortmund.

Another example is Hummels, who originally grew up in Bayern's youth training camp.

This is terrible. For Klopp, this situation is completely "terrible".

Because his team is divided.

The players are not united, and the key is that he has not been able to remedy the current team atmosphere.

In this case, Klopp can be said to have exhausted all his efforts for the second round of the battle with Real Madrid.

He still sent Gotze to start.

Mourinho can only express deep sympathy for this.

If such a player appears in Real Madrid now, Mourinho will no longer give him the opportunity to play and train with the first team.

Never!

Being demoted to the second team is the final destination of such players.

Mourinho has the qualifications to make such a decision.

But Klopp can't do it.

His feelings for Gotze and his construction of his own tactics prevent him from directly pressing Gotze on the bench.

He also felt the sympathetic gaze from Mourinho, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

But what he didn't expect was that what made him feel even more uncomfortable was still to come.

At the beginning of the game that night, Real Madrid took the initiative to attack Dortmund at the Westfalen Stadium.

This was not beyond Klopp's expectations. When Real Madrid first came here to fight, they caught him off guard with this routine.

Dortmund players responded in a timely manner, defending the middle and fighting for the ball with Real Madrid on the flanks.

The biggest advantages of both teams are on both sides, and Klopp has made up his mind to fight Real Madrid to the end today.

But in the twelfth minute of the first half, after a head-on fight with Matuidi, Gotze fell to the ground.

The kind of fall that didn't get up again.

Klopp's heart was cold.

The team doctor came on the court, carried Gotze to the sidelines, and after checking, made a gesture to Klopp to change players.

Klopp did not move. He looked at Götze. He hoped that his favorite disciple would also look at him with an honest gaze.

But Gotze didn't. He lowered his head as he listened to the doubts and boos from the Hornets fans in the stands near him.

He didn't make any excuses, and Klopp was completely disappointed.

He no longer worried whether Gotze had a real muscle strain or because

Dortmund used the substitution quota, and Gotze was replaced by Grosskreutz.

At the same time, Sahin also started warming up on the sidelines.

Such a blow is extremely heavy for Dortmund.

Not only the reduction of tactics and personnel strength.

More blows come from psychology.

From the momentum and lack of trust in teammates in the same team.

Matuidi was still a little confused, because he didn't feel how much strength he had just used. It was a normal head-on confrontation.

Although it is said that occasionally there will be situations in which the opponent is injured in such a confrontation.

But the probability is too low.

Li Ang comforted Matuidi and told him not to care too much about such things. After all, he didn't mean it.

When the game resumed, Real Madrid also devoted all its efforts to the offensive pressure on Dortmund.

The resistance of the Hornets, who could have fought tenaciously, seemed to have dropped by half.

At this time, the stars of Real Madrid would not talk about fairness with Dortmund.

A series of forward pressure concentrated the ball to feed Ronaldo.

Ronaldo failed to break the deadlock on the field, but Benzema, who received the ball from Ronaldo in the double team, finally stood up.

He broke his happy spell with a neat shot and scored Real Madrid's first away goal.

Benzema was very happy to jump up and punch the baseline to celebrate!

The total score came to 3-1.

Dortmund fans and players were confused, and Klopp felt very painful.

Karanka sighed.

Like Mourinho, he sympathized with Klopp's current situation.

But they would not stop.

This is the growth process of a team.

The way of suffering may not be too different, but the feeling of suffering is almost the same.

And the pain of failure that Dortmund still needs to reach the top of Europe.

Last season was already a medal of honor for Real Madrid.

Today, I paid back 3,000 words of the remaining 20,000 words. The few hundred words are not included in the total, so it is only counted as 3,000.

There are still 17,000 words left to update.

Then I will promote my brother's new book, which is almost 100,000 words now. Friends who are interested can buy it.
