Chapter 8 Mourinho's "Dream Waist" [Please Collect and Vote! ]
"Grab a little bit! Move over to the side, and be more decisive in grabbing the ball. I will pay attention to fill in for you!"
After completing the frontal tackle, Li Ang climbed up from the grass quickly, but he was the first to remind Canales loudly to grab the ball.
The football was still rolling on the grass.
However, with Li Ang's timely reminder, Canales rushed to pass the ball to Marcelo who came up to meet him before Mallorca midfielder De Guzman.
Marcelo shook his head and looked around. Seeing that there was no chance, he passed the ball back to Li Ang who raised his hand to signal.
I don't know if several forwards of Mallorca took the wrong medicine at this time. When they saw Li Ang holding the ball, they rushed up like hungry tigers to press.
Li Ang could choose to pass the ball forward at this moment, letting Alonso deal with the pursuit and interception of these Mallorca forwards, but he didn't do so.
Even though Alonso had raised his hand to ask him for the ball.
"Sergio!"
Leon shouted to Ramos, who played as a central defender today, and then passed the ball back.
After passing the ball, he did not retreat in a panic, because that would probably squeeze Ramos's space to pass the ball forward.
Leon chose to pull to the side and quickly ran to the back line that was almost parallel to his two central defenders, basically in the left side area behind Marcelo.
When the two Mallorca forwards turned to press Ramos, Ramos had many passing options.
He could pass to his partner Carvalho, or pass back to goalkeeper Casillas. Of course, Leon, who was standing on his left near the side area, also became a "safe object" for passing.
Ramos almost did not hesitate. After Leon pulled to the side and stood in position, his cross pass was quickly delivered.
Mallorca forward Castro rushed towards Leon again, but Leon did not give him the opportunity to get close to him this time.
He led the ball and moved forward directly, and then calmly passed the ball to Marcelo along the sideline!
Li Ang completed a typical operation of breaking the pressure from the back.
There was no fancy dribbling technique, no wonderful feints, just stable and clear-minded passing and positioning.
Li Ang's choice was very stable, and Ramos and Marcelo, who cooperated with him in passing, also felt very relaxed.
Alonso smiled and nodded to Li Ang in the middle, and then moved forward more confidently to receive the ball and organize.
Seeing that Real Madrid quickly organized a new wave of attacks after breaking their own pressure, Mallorca fans booed again in dissatisfaction.
And among these boos, at least half of them may be for Li Ang who was silently running behind Alonso at this moment.
Ramos now has time to communicate with Li Ang.
The young Shui Ye still has a flowing long hair, but his slightly hard-core face and his long hair do not seem to be very harmonious.
"Great defense! Little lion, I think you should be prepared to be gradually known by other teams in La Liga~"
After a simple palm clash, Ramos winked at Leon and covered his mouth to make a joke.
Leon didn't think it was that exaggerated, but when he heard Ramos' praise, he still smiled and shrugged subconsciously.
The live camera was facing Leon at this moment.
So under the faithful record of the camera, Leon's image of a sunny and handsome boy with an inadvertent smile quickly spread to all of Spain.
At this moment, Leon attracted more attention than his previous six years of youth training plus half a year of Spanish Second Division career!
If he only had performance on the court but ordinary looks, or handsome looks but poor performance on the court, he would not get so much attention from Spanish fans.
But he is now playing for Real Madrid, and he just performed very well on the defensive end, and he looks handsome and outstanding, which can be said to have gathered all the elements of fame!
Leon naturally didn't know how much public opinion his inadvertent smile just now would attract for him tomorrow.
He is still completing his tactical tasks seriously and cautiously.
Thanks to his stable performance today, Alonso has no worries on the defensive end and is very calm in organizing.
And Canales can further demonstrate his offensive talent.
This young Spanish genius who is the same age as Li Ang performed well today.
Without the need to frequently retreat to defend and being able to devote himself to organizing the offense, he and Alonso quickly teamed up to control the rhythm of the game.
Mallorca's midfield strength is average, and they achieved good results by playing counterattacks at the beginning.
But when Li Ang killed their two consecutive offensive advances, they could not come up with a better way to break through Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt strength suppression.
Li Ang really felt the taste of playing in Real Madrid's first team at this moment.
After doing his job well in defense, he really had nothing to do on the offensive end.
Alonso and Canales organized the offense, Ronaldo and Di Maria exploded on the wing, and the personal ability of left-back Marcelo was also super strong.
Higuain and Ronaldo made the finishing blow.
In terms of offense, Real Madrid's first team has world-class players in every position.
This is different from his previous experience playing for Real Madrid's third team, Castilla and Real Betis.
Putting aside the attention of public opinion and the pressure of performance, Li Ang has to admit that it is indeed very "easy" for him, a defensive midfielder, to play in Real Madrid's first team.
No need to undertake any extra tasks, just do your own job well, and then hand over the ball to his teammates.
Of course, the premise of wanting to work "easy" is based on the basic condition that Real Madrid is stronger than its opponents.
If it were Barcelona, Bayern or Manchester United now, Li Ang would probably become the player with the most pressure and the heaviest tasks on the field.
Fortunately, Real Madrid only played against Mallorca today.
Even if the striker performed weakly, with the continuous ball delivery in the midfield, Real Madrid still successfully opened the gate of Mallorca before the end of the first half.
In the 43rd minute, Ronaldo received a cross pass from Canales and turned around, and then made an unreasonable long-distance burst!
This long shot from 30 meters away was powerful and heavy, and the football fell extremely in the air!
Mallorca's goalkeeper Awat did not dare to be arrogant and chose to save the ball from the goal range first.
As a result, the football did not fly out of the penalty area as he expected, but flew crookedly to the right side of the penalty area under the blow of his fists!
Di Maria looked at the "pie" falling from the sky, and did not spit it out like Higuain did.
He chose to stop the ball and then directly shot it into the far corner!
Di Maria's shooting choice and footwork were excellent. Awat, who had no time to save the ball for the second time, could only watch the football fly into the goal behind him!
Entering the halftime break with a 1-0 lead, the stars of Real Madrid were more or less relieved.
But Li Ang, who was wiping his sweat and talking to Alonso while walking back to the player's tunnel, did not notice it.
Mourinho, who was at the door of the visiting team's locker room, was staring at him with a sharp gaze at this moment.
It was as if he was looking at his "dream waist"!
