Chapter 34 There are people in the court who are good officials

Qi Zu's appointment is definitely a great thing for Li Mudi. From then on, Castilla will be more autonomous in their player arrangements and will be more closely connected with the first team.

On the day he took office, the new coach invited his friends to his home for dinner, during which the two had an in-depth exchange on Real Madrid's current tactical arrangements and the development of young players in the reserve squad - is there any ambiguity in this? If so, let's take it as normal. Before being sent out of the door by Qi Zu and leaving, Li Mudi left one last metaphysical law: after the eighty-fifth minute of the game, if you need to score, kick the ball towards Ramos's head in the set-piece tactic, and Shui Ye will definitely give you a miracle!

Although he gave others a good solution to the problem, Li Mudi's own heart disease could not be cured.

Kylian Mbappe should have gained some foothold in the first team since his blockbuster performance against Sevilla, but unfortunately in the upcoming national derby, Karim Benzema, who missed a month due to injury, returned to the firing line, which left the Frenchman to sit on the bench and wait for his chance. Since there is no room to play in the first team for the time being, it stands to reason that returning to Castile to play is a good solution. However, Mariano, the main striker recently, is in good shape, and the resentment of being squeezed out of the first-team rotation list by Mbappe has finally eased a little, and now if the position in the reserve team is also taken away by the French, Li Mudi estimates that this is a big deal. In La Liga B, they are both star-level strikers, but there is only one position on the tactical board, which is indeed a headache for rookie managers. According to the heart, Mbappe should be the first choice in terms of the role he can play in the tactical system of Real Madrid and Castilla, as well as in the future development prospects. When Li Mudi communicated with Qi Zu, he proposed to loan Mariano out during the winter transfer period, but his friend bluntly said that it was no fun at all. The Dominican international has been training with the first team for two consecutive summers, and his performance has been unanimously optimistic about the club's management, believing that he is very valuable for training, so he will not be easily handed over to others to cultivate, for fear that he will become the next Eto'o. But the coach of Castile, who has an FM system, clearly knows that Mariano's potential value at this time is only 139, and even if he can improve in the future, it is very limited, and he definitely has no strength to gain a foothold in the first team. But he couldn't say this at all, and people who heard it would think that Li Mudi was crazy.

At present, the frontcourt of the first team will still be dominated by the BBC, and even Ronaldo, Isco and Jesse will have to compete for the post, and Mbappe's chances are even less great. After returning to Castile and facing bloody competition with Mariano, Li Mudi once thought of letting the French play the league and the Dominicans play the cup, which was one of the favorites of many players when playing games in the past, and some giants will also rotate in this way in reality. However, the status of the domestic cup is indeed lower than that of the league, which means that he is still on the side of Mbappe in the battle for the main striker, and Mariano is very likely to turn around. And considering that Mbappe can also play the position of left winger, if two people play at the same time, they will have to squeeze the positions of other players in the team, the current main left winger La Zuo has performed very well this season, and the substitute Kobayashi is also the focus of the club, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, just embarrassing Li Mudi.

Li Mudi, who was upset about this incident for several days, seemed to lack interest in daily training, and only when he was interviewed by the PBTV host who followed Lin Liangming to Spain to film, he barely squeezed out a smile and completed the task very cooperatively. Of course, in the face of compatriots who speak a native language, Li Mudi, who is still from the Celestial Empire, will always be in a much better mood from the heart. The shoot was supposed to focus on Lin Liangming, showing how hard he trained after coming to Castile to get a chance to play and help the team win. But after PBTV and his party came to Spain, they found that the coach of the team turned out to be the absolute boss here, and then they wanted to shoot him again, but they were refused. But even so, there are still many scenes of Li Mudi in the film shot for Lin Liangming, which makes the fans of the Celestial Empire have a new impression of him after the emoji.

On November 26, Castilla played in the first round of the Spanish Federal Cup of the season. Since PBTV planned to shoot the game before returning to China, Li Mudi was very good at arranging for Lin Liangming to start the game, which made PBTV very moved, and the person in charge of the football department also made a special call to thank him. In fact, even if there was no shooting, Li Mudi had planned to let Kobayashi start, and this game would give the substitutes more opportunities to perform.

Castilla's starting line-up for this game: goalkeeper Abad, right wing-back Dani, central defenders Limbart and Bernabeu, left-back Tejero, central midfielders Peperu and Fabas, right winger Cedras, left winger Lin Liangming, forward Muñoz, forward Mariano. Aside from Mariano, the remaining ten players are all substitute rotation players.

The reason why Li Mudi dared to put on such a bold all-substitute lineup was because it was found in the FM system that the opponent of this away challenge, Pontevedra, fought fiercely in the last league game, and almost all the main players were in a state of fatigue. Li Mudi boldly estimated that the opponent would not play the main team in this midweek cup match, so after discussing it with the members of the coaching staff, he directly used this round of cup games to increase the playing time of the substitute players, so as to reduce their resentment that they could not play in the league.

Pontevedra is located in Galicia, Spain's most northwestern region, which is home to two well-known teams: Deportivo La Coruna and Celta Vigo. This team used to have a certain strength, in the sixties and seventies was a regular in La Liga and La B, but then it completely sank into the third and fourth divisions. Last season, it had just been promoted to Group 1 of La B as the top of Group 1 of La Liga. The season has also been good, currently sitting fifth in the league table and having a chance to qualify for the promotion play-offs. The team's home stadium, Pasarón, has one of the largest capacities in its class, with a capacity of 12,000 fans and a pitch size of 105m-70m.

Pontevedra played in Spain's 'national formation' of 4-2-3-1 and was a team that was very weak in attack and defence, scoring 28 goals in the league and conceding 23. Because it was a guess that the opponent would not play the main team, Li Mudi did not arrange the details on the field in advance, but waited until he got the home team's roster an hour before the start of the game, and then arranged a few additional tactics. Pontevedra really paid more attention to the results of the league and used substitutes in this game. This may also mean to confuse Castile, after all, in different groups, it is usually difficult to have the opportunity to get the details of the opponent, and the information obtained by scouts is generally the situation of the main players, and at this time there should be no knowledge of the substitutes who are sent. But they never imagined that in front of Li Mudi, who has an FM system, these are small cases.

In the competition of pure substitutes, no one at the level of La B will be the opponent of Castile, and this game verified Li Mudi's confidence in this matter.

With 54 per cent possession, 17 shots on goal, 8 shots on target, 554 passes and a 77 per cent success rate and 5 yellow cards for opponents, these all illustrate the advantage of the visitors in this game. In the end, thanks to goals from Muñoz and substitute Narvaez in both halves, Castilla won 2-0 away and had already stepped into the second round with one foot.

Lin Liangming played a big role in the second goal, which made the PBTV staff who filmed the whole game very excited: a compatriot player led the team to defeat a "strong enemy" under the command of the "half" compatriot coach, which is a major historic event in the football of the Celestial Empire! After returning home, some blew it.

After sending off the PBTV trio the next day, Li Mudi contacted Zizu by phone, and after a brief discussion, Odegaard and Mbappe were both arranged in the starting list of the league for the weekend. That's the advantage of being a good friend as a manager of Real Madrid, everything is easy to discuss, if Benitez used to coach in the past, he wouldn't have thought about it and didn't care about you at all.

With just two days to go until the weekend, the coaching staff took the time to rehearse the 4-4-2 formation to see if the tactic of having Mbappe and Mariano start at the same time could make the move. This style of play is still good in terms of offensive effect, with two strong points of both speed and strength, and the passing options for midfielders have more than doubled at once, especially when Mbappe hides behind Mariano, which reminds some old people of the coaching staff of the match made in heaven between Raul and Morientes. Unfortunately, if this arrangement is made, the midfield, which is not good at defending, will be even weaker in terms of thickness, and the two wingers can retreat a little to play full-back, but after removing the forward Enzo, it will make the opponent's central midfielder less disturbed, giving them room to play calmly. And Qi Zu has just taken up his new post on his side, and the uncle here pressed his eldest nephew to the bench, which is really a bit of a slap in the face. Although if he explained the situation directly to Qi Zu, the other party would definitely let Li Mudi do it boldly, and don't scruple too much. But in order to be able to rub Veronica's French dinner in the future, and to be less blackmailed by the four bear children during the Spring Festival (because he is very familiar with Li Mudi, after learning that there is a custom of elders giving red envelopes to juniors in the New Year of the Celestial Empire, the cup was produced), Xiao Li still made up his mind at the last moment: let Mbappe play left winger and sacrifice the left side first. In this way, Lazuo learned a new idiom of the Celestial Empire, and the allusion of "the fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond" was perfectly interpreted once in Spanish soil.
