Chapter 7 Ten Years of Reincarnation, Bankrupt Version of Makelele [Please collect and vote!]

"The players from both sides have already entered the court! Oh, look who our live broadcast camera is focused on? Leon! This young man who played very well at Real Betis last season successfully helped Real in the Spanish Second Division last season.

Betis finished third, which was enough for Real Betis to advance directly to La Liga

, and this summer, Li Ang was recalled by his parent team Real Madrid to participate in the summer training camp, and he finally succeeded in staying in the Real Madrid first team. Today Li Ang will compete as a starter for Real Madrid in the first round of the new season. This is

What an achievement, I wish this nineteen year old boy the best of luck today!"

The commentator of the Spanish domestic Movistar sports channel is holding a manuscript prepared in advance and talking.

Since Real Madrid announced the starting lineup yesterday, Li Ang's information and past results have been dug out by major sports channels in the shortest possible time.

Nineteen years old, from East Asia, China is known as the football desert in East Asia.

A member of Real Madrid's youth training, he is the most low-key among the new generation of outstanding players born in the 1990s in Castilla. He was also one of the contributors to Real Betis's success in reaching the top flight last season.

When these factors were combined, the traffic and topic popularity contained in Li Ang instantly aroused the interest of major media.

It’s not that Li Ang is too good, good enough to cause a big discussion among fans in Spain today.

But his resume is too "ordinary".

It is really incredible that a young player like him can start for Real Madrid in the first round of the new season.

Many Barcelona fans are planning to watch Real Madrid stumble in the first show of the season.

Appoint a young boy to partner with Alonso, and he still plays the extremely important midfielder position?

Well, these Barcelona fans have already thought of words to mock Real Madrid in advance.

On the side of Real Madrid fans, there are also internal divisions and different voices at this moment.

Compared with the fans who support Li Ang, the majority of Real Madrid fans are not optimistic that Li Ang can now represent Real Madrid in La Liga.

It is true that Li Ang came from Real Madrid's own youth training, but his past low-key performance and too young age really cannot reassure most Real Madrid fans.

They would rather see a safer midfielder combination of "Gago + Alonso".

Or even more extreme, let Alonso play as a single defensive midfielder, and then set up a double midfielder combination of "Canales + Granero", and do not want to see Leon and Alonso start.

The result of the friendly match is nothing to delve into.

Moreover, Li Ang's performance in the two friendly matches where he started can only be said to be "fair".

To put it nicely, Li Ang's style is calm, not brilliant but not a big problem.

To put it bluntly, it is too "mediocre".

What Real Madrid needs is talent, talent, the best young players and the best immediate superstars.

But Li Ang seems to be out of touch with these things now.

It’s no wonder that although the discerning Real Madrid fans unanimously defend Li Ang externally, internally, it appears that most people don’t want to see Li Ang start the game on behalf of Real Madrid.

At this moment, Li Ang, who was stretching on the court and waiting for the game to officially start, had no idea that he had caused a huge split in opinions among Real Madrid fans.

Does he care about these public opinions?

Care, but not that much.

It is true that Li Ang traveled through time with a hooker, but he is still a normal person. As a human being, he will have normal mood swings and expect to be recognized by more people.

When it comes to being questioned or trusted and praised, normal people will of course choose the latter, and Li Ang is no exception.

But at the same time, he also deeply understood a truth.

That is, in the world of professional football, respect can only be achieved by kicking it with your own feet, not by blowing it.

Li Ang does not expect to quickly reverse the public opinion problems he is currently experiencing in one or two games.

But at least, he believes that he can use one or two games to prove it to Real Madrid fans.

Mourinho chose to let him, Leon, start as his partner with Alonso, which makes sense!

21:00 pm on August 29, 2010.

With the whistle of the referee on duty, Real Madrid's away game against Real Mallorca in the first round of the 2010-2011 La Liga season officially started!

Today Mourinho arranged a starting lineup of four, three, and three.

It's just different from the four-three-three commonly used by other teams. Real Madrid's three midfielders include two defensive midfielders, Leon and Xabi Alonso, and only Canales as a central midfielder.

On the forward line, Ronaldo, Higuain and Di Maria all started.

On the back line, Real Madrid is in a bit of a miserable situation right now.

The starting main defender Pepe is injured, the third central defender Albiol is injured, and the fifth central defender Garay is also injured.

So Ramos, who is considered the fourth central defender in the team and is still playing right back, had to step in first.

As for Ramos, only Aveiroa was on the right side.

Carvalho and Ramos partner as double central defenders, and on the left side of Carvalho is Marcelo, who has strong offensive attributes.

At the goalkeeper position, there is still Saint Cassie, who is familiar to Real Madrid fans.

Looking at this lineup, Real Madrid's current lineup has some problems, but against the opponent Mallorca, Real Madrid fans are not too worried.

Mourinho set the tactical tone for the ball and the pace of the game at the beginning.

Therefore, Real Madrid's opening pressure seemed a bit "excessive".

Canales directly pressed the offensive trio in the frontcourt to the top of Mallorca's half-court circle. In order not to lose touch with the organization, Alonso had to advance his position to maintain the gap between him and Canales.

Smooth connection.

Like Alonso, Leon also moved up his position in order to maintain overall suppression of Mallorca.

But he actually doesn't have many chances to touch the ball, because the offensive organization doesn't rely on him.

On the contrary, he spent more time observing the attacking methods of his opponent Mallorca, and his position selection always remained diagonally behind Alonso.

After Alonso freed up his hands and devoted himself to sorting out the offense and organizing the transfer, Real Madrid's offensive started very quickly.

Long Ge's several diagonal long passes allowed Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria to fully utilize their speed and solo blasting advantage.

Mallorca's defense line deployed on the wing was squeezed again and again. Coupled with Canales' support in the center and his ability to pass and threaten the ball, Mallorca's midfield and backfield defense were once defeated by Real Madrid within the first fifteen minutes.

It was shot right through.

At that time, Ronaldo received Alonso's long pass and moved forward with Higuain to launch a quick counterattack in the hinterland of Mallorca.

As a result, Ronaldo passed the ball behind Mallorca's defense after attracting double-teams from the two. Higuain's anti-offside move was also very beautiful.

But in the final shot, Higuain thought too much.

He wanted to dribble past Mallorca's goalkeeper, but his feet slipped inexplicably, so he swung the ball too hard, and finally the ball went out of the baseline.

Mourinho, who was already ready to celebrate on the sidelines, almost knelt down on the spot.

Ronaldo and Di Maria on the other side were also dumbfounded.

No big brother, this cake has been fed to your throat, but you can still spit it out!

It is a pity that such an opportunity was missed, and it also had a certain impact on the mentality of the Real Madrid players.

Mallorca, who was struggling to defend itself, seized the opportunity and stole the ball in the 21st minute of the first half and also launched a quick counterattack!

Alonso, who had just finished linking up the attack, immediately turned around and chased after him.

However, Canales and Di Maria pressed too hard and it was too late to defend. Real Madrid's defensive forces on the right and center were seriously insufficient.

Seeing that Mallorca was about to launch a very threatening counterattack, many Real Madrid fans subconsciously exclaimed in front of the TV.

But the next second, an ordinary figure wearing the No. 23 jersey happened to be stuck in the path of Mallorca forward Enrici with the ball!

In a tough head-on confrontation, he took a shot in an instant and destroyed the ball. The two attackers and defenders almost fell to the ground together!

Alonso, who caught up in time, chose to clear the ball directly out of the sideline, and Li Ang, wearing the No. 23 jersey, climbed up from the turf like a normal person.

"Well done! Well done, boy!"

Alonso changed his usual elegant demeanor and roared excitedly amidst the boos of the home fans and slapped Li Ang hard on the shoulder.

Li Ang bared his teeth and quickly hugged Alonso's raised palm.

The teacher's hands are too strong. He won't be able to bear it again. It's better to give him a hug!

Mourinho and Karanka stood on the sidelines and both breathed a sigh of relief, and then applauded Li Ang with great satisfaction.

Di Maria, who ran back to defend the opponent's sideline ball, also patted Li Ang's butt gratefully.

If Enrici had passed the ball just now, Real Madrid's lack of defensive strength in the backcourt would have magnified his forward mistakes countless times.

While she was scared, Di Maria also felt a burst of joy.

"Fortunately, fortunately the little lion stopped me"

The sideline ball thrown by Mallorca was grabbed by Arbeloa. Di Maria received the ball with his back and passed it across. Alonso followed up and pushed the ball to the left.

Marcelo, who was inserted, observed the situation around him and began to dribble forward. Real Madrid's new round of offense came, and Mallorca quickly retreated from defense.

Li Ang still didn't follow up and pushed forward. He stood behind Alonso and watched his attack start from the left this time, so he subconsciously moved closer to the left half.

Mallorca's defensive midfielder Martí did not give Marcelo a chance to advance deeply.

When full-back Nsue was struggling with Marcelo, Martí stepped forward and suddenly blocked the passing line between Marcelo and Ronaldo, and once again stole the ball.

After receiving the ball, Marty did not delay the counterattack rhythm, but also sent a long pass directly to his own forward Castro who successfully completed the forward penetration.

The hearts of Real Madrid fans are lifted again.

Castro stopped repeatedly and strode straight to the hinterland of Real Madrid.

This time Alonso was prepared in advance and was about to accelerate from the flank to intercept the ball, but Li Ang, who was behind him before, reacted a step faster.

"I'll do it!"

A loud shout sounded behind Alonso. Brother Long didn't even have time to turn his head and look back, and saw a figure who was shoveling decisively appeared in his eyes!

After a brief deliberation, Castro decisively gave up the option of risking injury and competing with Leon.

His control of the ball after passing the ball was not stable. In the end, he had no choice but to jump up and watched with embarrassment and resentment as Li Ang shoveled the football back to the midfield area!

"Another opportunity for Mallorca to counterattack! Castro is about to start! Oh——!!!Leon!!! God! In less than two minutes, Leon contributed two crucial goals

Defensive interception! Alonso didn't even run five meters this time, and Mallorca's counterattack ended! Incredible defensive performance! The little lion from Castilla seemed to be announcing to everyone that the reason why he had been

The Real Madrid U19 coach is called 'Marc Lele' and there's a reason for that!"

The commentator of Movistar enthusiastically praised Li Ang's wonderful performance on the defensive end in these two minutes.

And the phrase "Little Marco Lele" also made countless Real Madrid fans recall the special defensive gate in Real Madrid ten years ago!

There is no gorgeous technology, no tall figure, and no handsome appearance.

But just by relying on one precise interception and one anticipatory tackle, Makelele firmly occupied the position of the main defensive midfielder in the luxurious lineup of the Galaxy Battleship generation!

To this day, Real Madrid has never found a defensive midfielder like Makelele.

And the defensive backbone who brought Real Madrid the league and Champions League titles just three years after joining Real Madrid.

After going through the test of time and years, it has shone in the hearts of countless Real Madrid fans!

Now that ten years have passed, a similar figure with a sense of familiarity appears in front of Real Madrid fans.

Do Leon and Makelele look alike?

It doesn't look like it at first glance.

Because Li Ang is 1.83 meters tall, tall and strong, with a sunny and handsome appearance.

Makelele is a typical "strength guy", with a short and lean figure and a slightly mature appearance.

Just looking at the appearance, it is really difficult for people to associate Leon with the former Makelele.

But a closer look shows that the two have many similar technical features.

Excellent defensive position selection, accurate prediction and interception, not easy to dribble the ball in, and at the same time, the passing is almost exactly the same "unpretentious"!

Of course, Li Ang's defensive experience is far less rich than Makelele when he transferred to Real Madrid.

But in comparison, Li Ang seems to be more decisive in his defensive attacks and has stronger frontal confrontation capabilities.

Generally speaking, in terms of current strength, Li Ang can be regarded as a "bankrupt version of Makelele" at best.

However, his development prospects seem to have more possibilities than Makelele.

After all, physical fitness lies here. If he grows up smoothly in the future, not to mention more, he has 80% of Makelele's defensive positioning and interception capabilities, coupled with first-class confrontation and air defense capabilities, what kind of person will he be?

Defending monsters?!

Although this is still a hypothesis, it does not prevent Real Madrid fans from starting to increase their support for Li Ang.

Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, had his eyes shining brightly as he stared at Li Ang and kept muttering.

"This kid is a game player! What's ordinary? This is a big baby!"
