Chapter Ninety-Six: It's Exciting! (Above)

Although the team has won the league championship ahead of schedule and the Fed Cup trophy seems to be within reach, it is still difficult for Li Muddy to squeeze out a smile in the afternoon training because of the injury that has come to the door again.

Lin Liangming flew back to Asia last weekend, and was kicked in the leg by an opponent during the match against the Kuwait youth team of the Celestial Empire U20 team, and suffered some minor injuries. Li Mudi originally wanted to use his compatriots to rotate in the league at the weekend and brush up on the stats or something, because as time progressed, he became more and more convinced that it would be difficult for his little brother of the Celestial Dynasty to stay at Real Madrid in the future. This kid is a little too introverted, because he doesn't dare to take the initiative to communicate with his teammates in language, so he has been in Spain for nine months, and his Spanish is still at the most basic level, and it is difficult to integrate into the whole team. Of course, this is also the biggest weakness that all Celestial Empire athletes have when they break into the world outside, except for Da Yao and Sister Na. In addition, Kobayashi really has no talent in the technical aspect of shooting, and he has made great progress in dribbling skills, speed and running without the ball, but not only has not strengthened his shooting skills, but has dropped a little value, which is really helpless.

In the modern football system, with the complete decline of a strong centre-forward, it is difficult for a winger who can only cross the bottom and not cut inside to shoot can be reused under a high-level manager. With Castile promoted to La B next season, facing opponents whose defensive ability is more than one step higher than that of La B B, Lin Liangming's lack of scoring ability will be more and more exposed, and once Li Mudi moves to a new team, the new head coach is likely to no longer be willing to give him so many opportunities. Therefore, Li Mudi wants to take advantage of the opportunity that the main players will not care too much about the playing time after winning the championship, give Xiaolinzi more training time in the remaining rounds, and let him brush up the data at the same time, hoping to have the opportunity to loan him to a La B team that can provide an absolute main position before he leaves the team, and then train in this lower-level league for another year. As long as you can grow up fully, you will have a good chance of staying in Europe to play after leaving Real Madrid in the future, instead of repeating the old path of the old-timers again and returning home to be unremarkable. Unfortunately, this perfect plan was disrupted by this afternoon's training. In the team confrontation, Lin Liangming's previously injured leg was hit by his teammates again, which made the injury that had almost recovered recurred, and he would be out for three weeks after the double judgment of the FM system and the team doctor, and when he returned, there were only the last two rounds left in the league......

In addition to the hapless Kobayashi, two more players were injured in training that afternoon and the next day and were unable to play in the last two league rounds. One is right-back Dani, who accidentally bruises his wrist when he lands, and the other is centre-back Leão, who was kicked to the chest by a teammate when he cleared the ball with a header. If you add in Senna, who suffered a slight muscle strain during last weekend's game for Spain's Under-19s, Castilla's backline was a little tight again, and Li Mudi had to temporarily seconded 17-year-old Moroccan (also Spanish) right-back Achraf Hakimi from Guti after the weekend's league game, a young man with 100 potential but almost 150, the best right wing-back in the echelon reserve.

In the blink of an eye, it is the evening of the first Saturday in April, the world's attention is focused on the Catalonia region of the Iberian Peninsula, today at 20:30 local time in Spain, La Liga leader Barcelona will sit at home Camp Nou, ushering in the second leg of the century's derby, the opponent is naturally the century-old rival Real Madrid.

Since the Castile match was scheduled for Sunday night, again at home, Li Mudi was able to watch it live on Internet TV from the comfort of his apartment. When he had dinner in the cafeteria, he politely declined the invitation of a few old fellows who wanted to use this excellent reason not to go home, but to find a place outside to watch the game, and returned to the apartment and sent away the young lads who were going to get together to cheer on the big brothers of the first team, and went back to his room alone to enjoy this inhuman thrill alone.

As I said before, in the previous life, Barcelona had a rare three-game losing streak during this period, and almost gave up the league championship in hand. In addition, they were eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League during this period, and were praised by the media at the time as the most miserable three weeks for Barcelona in the past two decades, so Li Mudi still has a deep impression of this history. But after all, he is not a genius with a super memory, except for the clear knowledge that Real Madrid won this game unexpectedly away, he can't remember any other details, and he can't even remember the final score. The reason why I can remember Benitez's "battle after class" before is because the score of 0-4 is too special, although the Royal have always won less and lost more against Barcelona in recent years, they rarely lose so badly, so the impression of that game will be deeper.

At noon, the Castile coach's mailbox received an email signed by his second nephew in China, the content of a simple application problem solved with a system of binary equations, which looked like asking for the answer to the question, but Li Mudi knew that it was sent by his friend Baozi. This kind of math problem that seems to be easy for students in the Celestial Empire to be solved even by elementary school students is really not suspicious in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, because their solutions to equations are only learned in the middle grades of middle school, and this thing is still quite difficult in their eyes.

This question naturally can't help Li Mudi, who was a top student when he was a student - there should be nothing to doubt about this, and in less than five minutes, the answer was obtained: X=25, Y=15. Translated into this, Baozi used Li Mudi's 250,000 euros and his own 150,000 euros to press Real Madrid to win in this game. According to the hints given in the title, the Castilla coach went to the bookmaker's website to check some of the odds previously given, corresponding to the three results of the home team are 1.54, 4.64, and 5.31, that is, if everything goes according to the course of the original world, His 250,000 will become 1,327,500 before tax, even if the total amount returned to his hands is far less than this number because of the various visible and invisible losses in the middle, but at least it will be stable to double to five or six hundred thousand. But once the world has undergone some changes because of the protagonist's crossing, then you can only treat that huge amount of money as a waste, which is nearly two million soft girls! Who doesn't feel distressed if you change?

So when he opened the video software and saw the commentators and guests start to make pre-match predictions, the Castile coach's heart rate began to overdrive, so he had to take out a large box of ice cream from the refrigerator and use this cold delicacy to lower his blood pressure. Of course, the two eyes were still fixed on the computer monitor, and there was no half-minute slippage.

Such a showdown of the century like Mars hitting the earth revealed a strong human touch before it officially began. Before the referee blew the opening whistle, all the members of the two clubs and the fans at the scene stood up and observed a minute of silence for the recently deceased Barcelona legend Cruyff.

Far from diminishing the smell of gunpowder between the two rivals, the tribute of the minute only fueled the will of both sides, and the two teams fought fiercely as soon as the game began, with Pepe and Sergio Busquets leaving the pitch injured in an equal tackle, leaving the visitors in a cold sweat before returning soon.

As the game progressed, Barcelona began to play their superior ball control, gradually keeping the ball at their feet for a longer period of time, and looking for loopholes in Real Madrid through continuous transmission and mobilization. In the 10th minute, Suarez interfered with the Ramos defense with a small move during the battle for the top, and Neymar, who was inserted on the wing, took the opportunity to burst into the right side of the penalty area and crossed, but the Uruguayan missed the ball on the edge of the small box and missed the perfect opportunity to shoot. At the same time that the fans in the stadium let out a huge sigh, Shui Ye angrily ran to the referee Hernandez Hernandez (this name is also no one) and kept complaining, and took the initiative to apply for a yellow card, so angry that Li Mudi scolded this brainless guy a hundred times in his heart.

As the game entered the 14th minute, the big screen at the Camp Nou stadium showed Ke Sheng's image and his number 14 shirt, and the crowd gave the football legend a standing ovation.

The home side's dominance on the ball then became more apparent, and in the following ten minutes they created a number of dangerous attacks. First, Messi's free-kick from 25 yards on the right went straight over the crossbar; Then Rakitic made a steal up front and split the ball, and after Pepe's cross was barely blocked from the wing, the Croatian midfielder's long-range shot in front of the penalty area was brilliantly saved by Navas in the bottom left corner; Suarez then made a comeback, linking up with Neymar to kick the wall into the box and shoot straight from the line to the top of the net again. Real Madrid's goal was rumored for a while, and Li Mudi's little heart also experienced the feeling of riding a roller coaster within ten minutes, which can be regarded as saving ticket money.

Just when he looked at Qi Zu, who appeared frequently on the screen and shouted on the sidelines, thinking in his heart how to make adjustments if he changed himself, the situation on the field changed again. In the 24th minute, Barcelona played a quick counterattack after a successful counter-attack, and there was a three-on-three situation in the front, and the plum ball king broke through to the edge of the away team's penalty area and suddenly fell under the defense of Ramos, the referee ignored it, signaling the game to continue, and the whole audience immediately booed. Replays from the TV station clearly showed that there was clear contact between the two men on the edge of the box, and the visiting captain's left foot did kick the knee of the king of the ball, and Real Madrid escaped. You must know that if the referee gives a foul, this action will definitely be shown a yellow card, then the team will have to play with one less person in the opening less than 25 minutes, which is simply a direct death sentence. At this time, the boss of Castilla decided to use his mobile phone to go online after eating this box of ice cream to scold Ramos for his reckless guy and vent happily.

After this controversial decision, Real Madrid, who were playing away, began to gradually find some sense of the game, Ronaldo and Bale completed several reliable attacks, and at the same time allowed Suarez and Mascherano to receive a yellow card in the central defender position, and the TV station suggested that the Barcelona center forward will miss the next round of the league against Real Sociedad, laying a foreshadowing for the second defeat in a row.

After that, the two sides returned to a stalemate, and neither could find a good chance to score, so they could only return to their respective dressing rooms with a score of 0-0 to rest.

During half-time, the TV station did not analyze the various situations and statistics in the first half with the commentators and guests as usual, but spent 10 minutes broadcasting a short film about Cruyff's player and coaching career at Barcelona, which can be regarded as another tribute.

Li Muddy ran to a larger fan forum in Real Madrid at this time, and after logging in with a secretly registered trumpet, he scolded the captain of the first team, and even ridiculed him for his magical attributes of being sent off when he met Barcelona, which resonated with many fans, and of course, there were also rebuttals and even disrespectful guys. But he didn't care at all, who let that guy who was so reckless that he was afraid almost cost him a lot of soft girl! Li Mudi feels that if he is the current manager of Real Madrid, it is very likely that he will replace Shui Ye before the start of the second half, although the resistance is not ordinary......

From the technical statistics of the first half of the game between the two teams, it can be seen that Barcelona's possession advantage is unbreakable, and the possession rate has reached twice that of the opponent, which is the first in the world in terms of strength alone. However, in terms of finishing, they failed to meet the level of possession time, and the number of shots on goal was on par with Real Madrid, and the number of shots on target was not as good as that of the opponent. On the other hand, on the side of Real Madrid, although the ball has little time at the feet, but once it is counterattacked, the efficiency is not low, in terms of the performance of the first 45 minutes, the BBC combination is slightly better than the opponent's striker, as long as the water master is no longer muddy, Li Mudi feels that the chance to win away is not impossible. After such an analysis, because he had been worried about the gambling funds, he finally calmed down a little and ushered in the opening of the second half with a fairly peaceful attitude.
