Due to distance and identity, the two managers were not able to engage in a one-on-one heads-up, and even if the reporter wanted to provoke it, he could not always find an opportunity. On the contrary, the controversy over the foul in the media and on the Internet is intensifying, should Linhardt be shown a red card or a yellow card? Did he kick it on purpose? What age is the referee at the same level as a child? These three questions became the hot topic of the week. Madrid's television station even invited several so-called experts to debate the incident on a sports program, which was really idle.

Although Li Mudi doesn't care much about these "bullshit" remarks, some people's words are really ugly, and they have risen to the level of morality, and they have been extended from the players to him, saying that this kind of despicable and shameless dirty actions are all learned from the coach of the Celestial Empire. This can off the boss of Castile, the tiger doesn't threaten you when I'm a sick cat, this is red. Bare. Naked racial discrimination must be resolutely countered. It just so happened that Zhu Xiaoyu and others had not yet returned to China, and with the help of their CCTV background, coupled with the joint efforts of the embassy staff and the Western Celestial Empire group, it took less than half a day for those anti-Celestial Empire elements to coax and come forward to defend and apologize to the public.

Li Mudi originally wanted to hold a press conference to scold these stupid X's, but unfortunately it didn't succeed. First, as mentioned earlier, racial discrimination against the people of the Celestial Empire is common in Western society, and it is simply impossible to change anything through a press conference; Second, the incident had already reached a seemingly just result on the surface, and Gines and the embassy staff did not approve of him jumping out at this time to intensify the conflict; In the end, the Spanish Football Federation reported the results of the handling of the incident in the afternoon, and did not find any major mistakes on the part of the referee on duty, and would not deal with it in any way, while the managers of the two teams were fined 2,000 euros (Tanner) and 1,000 euros (Li Mudi) respectively for inappropriate remarks during and after the game. This is a warning in disguise, don't talk about this matter, Xiao Li, who "has no way to serve the country", had to admit it and go back to the apartment to sleep.

Regardless, Castilla made it to the quarter-finals of the Fed Cup, where the draw for the match will take place that night.

In the office, members of the coaching staff gather to study the opponents for the next stage. Assistant coach Solari looked at the schedule and suddenly said: "Our next three league games are all away, and they are all teams from the Basque Country. "It's not good news to go to the Basque Country for three weekends in a row, which is not close to Madrid, because the teams in that area are more aggressive, and the frequent travel can cause problems for the players' physical condition, and it is inevitable that there will be accidents against fierce opponents. And now we have to play in the Fed Cup in midweek, and the threat of injury is a bit big.

Everyone thinks about how they can arrange the team's work to reduce the possibility of accidents. At this time, Li Mudi asked: "How is the schedule of the cup arranged?" ”

Solari briefly checked his notebook and replied: "On February 4th and 11th, the league schedule around the fourth day is to play Real United on January 30 and Leoa on February 7, both in the Basque Country. ”

"Did the other seven teams in the cup have Basques? If we could have gone there in the first leg away, we wouldn't have to come back, and we would have played three games there in a row, reducing the unnecessary travel consumption. Li Mudi continued to ask.

"Good idea, I'll take a look." Solari's eyes lit up and he immediately went online to check the information, and the others also put down their previous thoughts and waited for the results here.

A minute later, Solari's voice rang out again: "There is one, it is the Royal United, and they have also entered the quarterfinals." ”

"Oh? If we do, we'll have to play them twice in a row next Sunday and the following Thursday! It's a bit tough, these guys are a tough bone! Defensive coach Santiago Sanchez's words speak for the coaching staff, and the reigning Carabao Cup champions are a bit tough to play against, especially at home stadium, where no one at this level can guarantee a slick from there. The previous plan to use opponents in the same region to reduce player consumption doesn't seem to make much sense now, so let's be honest and be more careful and prepare.

The results that came out in the evening did not cause any mood swings, and Castile drew the Real Balompédica Linense of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. The team is in the middle of the B4 group of La Liga this season and is not very strong, so even if the unfavorable schedule is drawn home and away, the coaching staff of Castilla is not too worried, but focuses more on maintaining the strength and condition of the players.

In the blink of an eye, there are only ten days left before the winter transfer window closes in Europe's top leagues, and there are very few important deals that have been completed or are close to being completed, and the top 10 deals in the transfer fee list are all from the Premier League and the Celestial League, with the exception of Jerson joining Roma, which is a surprise. Most of the strong teams in La Liga are not moving, only a few young players are loaned out, only Sevilla spent 11 million euros from Dortmund to buy out the Italian striker Chiro Immobile on loan, but then loaned him to Torino, which is really strange.

Real Madrid has no plans to bring in big-name players this winter, and under the joint planning of Li Mudi and Zizou, they are only collecting a few demons who have not yet played their worth, and the first team has no plans to further reduce the number of players after selling Cheryshev, who has no place, but the loan invitations for Castilla players are endless. On Saturday morning, the two friends met at the Real Madrid office to discuss the feasibility of these loans.

With Enzo gone, the most eye-catching players in Castilla are Odegaard, Lazo, Alvaro and Mariano.

Odegaard is the team's most important key player since Enzo's departure, and without him, Lee Mudi will not be able to guarantee the team's results in the second half of the season. So although there were no less than five or six high-level foreign teams who wanted to loan him, the boss of Castilla still made a "selfish" decision to refuse, and after discussing with his friends, he made a plan to let him go abroad for training next season (in reality, Odegaard was loaned to Heerenveen in the Eredivisie in the winter window of '17 because his growth rate did not meet the team's expectations, with the color of distribution).

Mariano's loan offer was also rejected because none of the teams that applied for him could guarantee his place as an absolute mainstay. Although the competitiveness of La B is much higher than that of La B B, Li Muddy believes that in half a season, the possibility of the Dominican striker being able to integrate into other teams in a short period of time and become the core of the attack is too low, far less effective than the training brought by maintaining the starting center forward in Castile. And it will be difficult for the team to find a suitable replacement in the short term, so Zizou has also agreed to keep Mariano this season and wait until next season's pre-season training camp to discuss whether to transfer him to the first team.

The situation with the remaining two wingers is a bit more delicate, and there are now three wingers in the squad, in addition to these two main players, there is also Cedras, who can play on the left and right. Lin Liangming, who mainly plays on the left and right and can only make cameo appearances, is only a substitute at the beginning of the cup competition, and will participate in the game with the U19 team at least half of the time.

In terms of ability, the two main players must be a step ahead, and the gap between Cedeles and them is not big, only 3 or 4 points. But Kobayashi's classmates are more different, and the ability values of the scouting tools on New Year's Day are 122 for the left, 120 for Alvaro, 118 for Cedras, and only 100 for Lin Liangming. However, the level of effort of the players of the Celestial Empire is incomparable to that of Westerners, Lin Liangming has only been in Madrid for less than seven months, but under the care of compatriot Li Mudi, the progress is very obvious, and he is one of the players with the largest increase in the team's ability value. Although the potential value is indeed very limited, it is still very optimistic to become the main force of the Eredivisie team and the rotation of the middle team of the five major leagues in the near future, so Li Mudi's "selfishness" recurred, and he decided to let go of the left team, and then straighten Xiaolinzi. Qi Zu naturally has no opinion on this, after all, the reserve team is a place to cultivate fresh blood, as long as the players can get a good training environment, the team's results are not very important.

On Sunday, January 24, at 19:00, Castilla travels north to challenge the second-to-last team in the Basque Country, opening the hellish mode of consecutive Basque away battles.

Castilla's starting line-up for this game: goalkeeper Yáñez, right wing-back Forlan, central defenders Hector and León, left-back Tejero, central midfielders Fabas and Toro, forward Odegaard, right winger Alvaro, left winger La Zuo, center Mariano.

The hosts are in dire straits, with a four-point stretch over the seventeenth place finish who will be able to play in the relegation play-offs, a team full of injuries, and it seems that they have booked a relegation spot ahead of a similarly demoralised Getafe B team.

In this game, Portugalette fielded a 5-3-2 formation rarely used by teams, with the central centre-backs dropping back to become scavengers, while the two wings of the defence were promoted to assist full-backs (WB), all in the crosses from the flanks against Castile. The first half did turn out as they had hoped, with the visitors' two wings struggling to deliver quality crosses between full-backs and central midfielders, while Odegaard and Mariano in the middle struggled to get anything out of their struggles with interceptions and pursuits. Odegaard's occasional through ball was completely destroyed by the scavengers behind the opponent, so the visitors failed to complete a decent shot in the entire 45 minutes, but even lost their former power in possession under the opponent's high-intensity confrontation. 0-0, Castile looked as if they had no chance of winning at all.

After the break, Li Mudi replaced Fabas with Kutch, and Odegaard dropped back into midfield, and the shadow forward tactics that had been practiced until then were used for the first time in a competitive game. The home team's tall defenders suddenly seemed to be unable to play in front of the very skilled Kutchi, and under the cover of Mariano, the skinny new signing of Castilla burst out with the energy of the king of the ball, and all kinds of tricks were endless. In just 10 minutes, the home team received three yellow cards for him, including two at left wing-back Larry Tegi, who was sent off.

Castilla, who were leading in numbers, naturally did not give their opponents any extravagant chances, scoring three goals in the 62nd, 74th and 79th minutes respectively, with Tejero, Álvaro and Toro contributing to the team. 3-0, the start of the "Basque January Tour" was still satisfactory.
