Chapter 4: Fragments of Belleron's Short Pass Talent [Please Collect and Vote! ]

Benzema spent a long time training with Li Ang some time ago, so he was not surprised by Ronaldo's statement at this moment.

Because he had a similar evaluation of Li Ang.

What may seem ordinary to fans is precious to them.

Because there are few young players who can accurately position themselves, and young players who can stand their position on the defensive end and are willing to do dirty work in a low-key manner are even rarer.

Star forwards like Ronaldo and Benzema are naturally talented and like to take possession of the ball.

So they would prefer a midfielder who defends hard behind them, does not stick to the ball, and can help them regain the offensive rhythm.

As for Li Ang's shortcomings in poor offensive attributes?

They don't care at all.

To put it bluntly, there is never a lack of offensive talent in Real Madrid.

Look at the bloated midfield group in Real Madrid's first team now.

Granero, Canares, Leon, Van der Vaart, and a dead man.

This offensive talent is almost overflowing.

The only ones who can provide stable defensive protection in the defensive midfielder position are Xabi Alonso and Las Diarra.

Gago can barely be considered half of it, but he has been trained into a weird shape by the previous coaches.

He was originally the core of the team who was in charge of the organization, but he was forced to play defensive midfielder for the opportunity to play.

But his physical fitness is a bit weak. At least in Mourinho's case, Gago does not have the responsibility to protect Alonso.

He is not abandoned, but it is almost the same.

Xabi Alonso can actually do the dirty work himself, but he also has to organize the backcourt.

If Long Ge really has to bear these two important tasks, he will not be able to bear it even if he has an iron body.

It can only be said that Diarra's sudden injury completely disrupted Mourinho's training plan. In this case, he dare not let Li Ang go to Real Betis.

Even if Khedira is about to report to Real Madrid, it seems to be the most correct choice for Real Madrid's defensive midfielder position.

But in fact, Khedira is also a player who likes to go forward and participate in the attack, and he is famous for this in the Bundesliga.

Mourinho may have great expectations for the transformation of the German midfield.

But in the current situation where defensive midfielders are scarce and a defensive general in the team is not sure whether he can return smoothly in two months.

He does not trust Gago, so he can only trust Li Ang, who has a better impression.

"I like this kid! You have to talk in a roundabout way, but I am different. I like to partner with such a midfielder."

Marcelo touched his half-long fluffy hair, and then trotted towards Li Ang with a brisk pace, which made Ronaldo and Benzema look at each other.

"Do you want to say hello to that kid?"

"Together?"

"Together!"

The two exchanged glances for a moment, and then walked towards Li Ang together.

Benzema had gradually become familiar with Li Ang in the almost two-week summer training before, and he mainly accompanied Ronaldo.

Otherwise, Ronaldo would definitely not take the initiative to greet the newcomer.

Old arrogant.

Mourinho was a little surprised when he watched this scene with his hands behind his back on the sidelines.

Maybe he was surprised that Ronaldo had a stronger desire to get close to his new teammates than he thought.

Or maybe he was surprised that Li Ang had already obtained the preliminary "recognition" qualification after the second training session with the superstars.

But no matter what, it was a good thing.

He was very happy to see this scene.

In the next few days of training, Li Ang still showed a stable performance that made Mourinho and a group of star teammates quite satisfied.

It's not that Li Ang's strength is enough to conquer Real Madrid's coaching staff and the proud children in the team.

But his stability has at least given Real Madrid a reassuring backup in the choice of substitute midfielder.

In this case, the training atmosphere in Real Madrid is quite peaceful, without much impetuousness.

In addition to Nacho, Li Ang's iron buddy, he can gradually chat with the superstars in the team from time to time.

Before Xabi Alonso finished his rest and reported to the club, Mourinho experimented with multiple combinations in the midfield.

On August 4, in the friendly match with Mexico's America team, Mourinho changed the formation many times, from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1 and then to 4-4-2.

Basically, the team's existing midfielders were all on the field to complete the warm-up.

Among them, Granero's performance was the most outstanding. He was very active on the offensive end and assisted Ronaldo to score the first goal in the first half.

In contrast, Li Ang's performance was not so impressive.

He played for 27 minutes in the second half, made a key interception, won two headers, and completed a wing chase.

The pass success rate was 85%, and there was no threatening pass, which still looked "ordinary".

So many North American fans who came to watch the excitement thought that Real Madrid signed such a young oriental player for the East Asian market.

They didn't care which East Asian country Li Ang was from, didn't care about Li Ang's youth training background, and didn't care why Mourinho chose to bring Li Ang to the United States to participate in the pre-season training at the last moment.

They only wanted to see the performances of Real Madrid's stars, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, and Marcelo.

So it's not surprising that such a joke happened.

In Mourinho's eyes, Li Ang's double defensive midfielder partnership with Gago in the last thirty minutes of the game was a bright spot.

Why didn't he value Gago before?

It was because Gago's body was not durable enough as a defensive defensive midfielder, and he was prone to injury and lacked frontal interception. He was not strong enough to protect the ball as an organizing midfielder, and his lack of confrontation made him lose the ball too easily.

But with Li Ang's support and ball protection, which was not strong but enough, active and timely defense, and excellent frontal air defense ability.

Hey, it just made up for Gago's lack of defense in organizing offense!

And if it was Real Madrid's turn to defend, Li Ang's defensive position selection was excellent and he could stand in the key position, and Gago's sweeping area was large, and the two just complemented each other.

Such an "accident" really brought a big surprise to Mourinho!

On August 7, in the friendly match with the Los Angeles Galaxy, Mourinho unexpectedly played the double defensive midfielder combination of Li Ang and Gago at the beginning of the second half.

As a result, Real Madrid, which tied 2-2 with the Los Angeles Galaxy in the first half, firmly controlled the situation in the second half without conceding a goal.

In the end, Ronaldo scored the winning goal, and Real Madrid also won two consecutive games in the friendly training match in the United States.

The score of 3-2 was not good, and Real Madrid's offense in the second half was not very sharp and beautiful due to constant substitutions.

But Real Madrid's midfield and backcourt defense has indeed stabilized visibly.

Maybe it's still not so obvious, but it's true.

After the friendly match with the Los Angeles Galaxy, the entire Real Madrid team ended its week-long training trip in the United States and flew back to Madrid the next day.

At the Valdebebas training base, Li Ang finally saw the other Real Madrid superstars who returned to the team for training.

Khedira has completed the physical test and officially joined the Real Madrid first team to start training with his teammates.

The bright colors in Gago's eyes in recent days seem to have dimmed again.

However, Li Ang did not feel much loss.

After all, Khedira is Mourinho's hand-picked midfielder. After the World Cup, this news has long been no secret in the transfer market.

Rather than worrying about how much playing time he will lose in Real Madrid's first team because of Khedira's joining.

Li Ang is more concerned about whether he can get a chance to play outside in the winter window.

And the golden talent fragment card he is ready to draw!

On the evening of August 10.

After the training, he received a blessing from Ronaldo and Benzema at his request.

Li Ang hurried home and sat on his sofa rubbing his hands.

With a look of expectation, he spent the 500 points that he had accumulated in six years from the "Road to the King of Football" system!

The mobile phone next to him was still playing the lame Chinese recording of Ronaldo and Benzema's "European Emperor Possessed, Africans Get Out!".

Li Ang only felt a flash of golden light in front of his eyes, and he didn't have time to yell "Golden Legend!".

A middle-aged player card wearing a blue and white jersey, with medium-length hair and a slightly melancholy expression appeared in front of him.

Leon was stunned. He was surprised at first, then entangled and disgusted, and then surprised and entangled again.

After two or three minutes, he recovered and forced himself to accept the reality.

"Belleron 11-12 season short pass talent fragment, talent value: 93 (full value 100, host's current short pass ability value 78); bonus experience perception: core organization essentials."

Is this golden talent fragment good?

In fact, it is quite good.

Although it is Belleron's talent fragment in the twilight of his career, it is a technical type that has not degenerated seriously, and it is his specialty short pass technology.

Li Ang's current short pass ability value is only 78, and he can raise the upper limit to 93 at once, which is enough for him to live for a long time.

And Belleron's own organizational experience perception is even more valuable.

When Leon got the golden complete talent card of Makelele's career in the twilight of his career.

The "defensive position selection" perception that the system gave him was very useful.

After studying it until today, Li Ang felt that he was still a long way from fully understanding Makelele's "defensive position selection" perception.

So this "core organization essentials" of Belleron must be enough for him to ponder for a long time.

But what he wants more now is actually the talent fragment that can make him go further on the defensive end.

After all, practicing a certain skill to the extreme is the most cost-effective training method for him at present.

But since the draws have been completed, Li Ang can only temporarily change his extra training plan.

On August 11, at the Valdebebas base, Xabi Alonso looked at Li Ang who asked to practice with him after the training, and was very surprised.

"You want to learn how to organize a team from me?"
