From Li Mudi's point of view, the current team atmosphere in Real Madrid's first team is not good, and after the players came to the Bernabeu, they learned the "fine" tradition of ganging up first. The Spanish Gang, the Portuguese-speaking Gang, the Neutral Gang, and a spy for one of the managers – or become die-hard loyalists and make a mess in the dressing room, but you have to be surprised that even with this split, the team's record is still reasonable. It's just that when a coach who is not good at uniting the whole team is in charge, the results are worse, such as: Capello, Mourinho; And the "good old guys" or coaches with high emotional intelligence have better results when they become owners, such as: Bosque, Ancelotti. And Zizou is precisely the one who has a high emotional intelligence, a high prestige among the players, and a great support from the club's top management, so after he took over the team, Real Madrid's strength was able to play stably all of a sudden, and it became the strongest team in the world in the past two years, without one. If it weren't for the fact that Real Madrid has not had a manager who has been in charge for more than four years in the past two or three decades, Li Mudi would even feel that Zizu may become the Lord of the Bernabeu, provided that Lafayette has been in power for a short time and will always support him.

In the final round of the Champions League group stage on 9 December, Real Madrid beat bottom-of-the-table Malmo 8-0 at home, with 16 shots on target from 32 attempts, and a record pass completion rate of 93 per cent. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a quadruple and Karim Benzema scored a hat-trick as Kylian Mbappe made his Champions League debut in the 76th minute in place of another goalscorer, Mateo Kovacic.

The next day, Castilla hosted the second leg of the first round of the Fed Cup against Pontevedra, and against the opposition's mixed line-up, Li Mudi followed the established policy of using substitutes as much as possible.

Castilla's starting line-up for this game: goalkeeper Abad, right wing-back Dani, central defenders Linhardt and Bernabeu, left-back Tejero, central midfielders Peperu and Fabas, right winger Cederes, left winger Lin Liangming, forward Muñoz, forward Narvaez. With the exception of the strikers, the rest of the 10 were exactly the same as in the first leg.

In this game, Pontevedra changed the formation to a 4-1-4-1, with a single midfielder to strengthen the depth of the defense to cope with Castile midfield's possession. In addition, the team's main striker Adrian Mourinho and main striker Carneiro are all in the starting line-up, presumably to try their luck in the opening game, and if they can pull a goal back sooner, the team may try to fight hard. Therefore, Li Mudi asked the players to pay attention to the stability of the defense at the beginning of the first half, not to concede the ball easily, and believe that as long as they grasp the situation and do not let the opponent see the hope of equalizing, the game will naturally be easily won after they give up.

After the start of the game, both sides cautiously tested each other, and then the visitors stepped up their pressing in midfield. The gap between the players on the field and the main team in terms of strength is still relatively obvious, in the face of the opponent's high-intensity pressure, the mistakes in passing and possession began to increase, and the advantage on the field was gradually taken by the opponent. In the 22nd minute, Peperu was kicked in the calf during the scramble, the pain was unbearable, and he could not continue to persevere, Li Mudi had to replace him with Grau, and the home team lost a big player before the division.

However, in the situation of offensive dominance, Pontevedra did not take the lead in scoring, but in the 31st minute, Castilla played a quick counterattack, Cedras's cross was pushed out by the opponent's central defender, Fabas followed up in the middle, received the ball and a long-range shot close to 30 meters pierced the goalkeeper's ten fingers, 1-0, the home team took a somewhat unexpected lead.

The goal was a heavy blow to the visitors, who were 3-0 down on aggregate and needed to score three goals in the remaining hour if they were to come back from 3-0 on aggregate. Therefore, their spirit slowly dissipated, and the offensive also slowed down. Just when Li Mudi thought that this victory was firmly in his pocket, the two central defenders made a serious mistake, in the face of a kick from the opponent's backfield, Linhardt actually rose to the top with almost no interference, and the Bernabeu next to him did not have the awareness to step forward to protect, and was seized by the visiting striker Carneiro, who accelerated to the ball and formed a single knife. When he entered the box and struck with his feet, the nearest defender behind him was also four metres away, and goalkeeper Abad could not do anything about the situation. With four minutes to go until half-time, Pontevedra leveled the score at 1-1 and was just two goals behind. And this goal also ended Castile's previous record of eight consecutive games without conceding a goal, and Li Mudi was very angry.

However, in the dressing room at halftime, Li Mudi did not get angry, but told the players to stay calm, not to relax because the aggregate score is ahead, and to continue to concentrate on each other. As time passed, it was believed that Pontevedra would give up resistance.

As it turns out, the script is well written, and as long as the actors can actively cooperate, the series will be a success. Seventy minutes into the game, the away team has not been able to change the score, seeing that there is no hope of promotion, the three main players on the field were replaced at one time, which also announced the final end of this round of games. In the rest of the game, the home team scored a goal each in the 78th and 88th minutes through Narvaez and Cedres. In the end, Castilla successfully entered the second round of the Federal Cup with an aggregate score of 5-1.

On December 11, the Spanish Football Federation announced the draw results for the second round of the Federal Cup online, Castilla's opponent is Racing de Ferrol (Racing de Ferrol) in Group 1 of La Liga B, the match will be played on January 7 and 21, 2016, Castilla first and then home, lucky.

Two days later, on Sunday 13 December, at 20:30, Castile arrived in San Sebastián in the Basque Country to face Real Sociedad de Fútbol B, the opponent of the seventeenth round of the league.

Real Sociedad is a veteran powerhouse in La Liga, having won the league twice in the early eighties and has also been featured in the Champions League in recent years. The teams in the Basque Country attach great importance to youth training, and Real Sociedad has also had a lot of well-known stars, such as Xavi Alonso and Bekistan, so the strength of its reserve team is still good. At present, after 16 rounds of league play, 5 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses have 22 points, ranking tenth in the standings. The team's main formation is 4-4-1-1, with left-back Hector being extremely fast and threatening to insert assists; The two central midfielders, Sans and Zubertia, are both 16 in terms of teamwork and work commitment, and they are tacit in cooperation; Forward midfielder Capilla is very strong in technical attributes, dribbling and technical 16, free kicks 15, passing and receiving corners are all 14, is the team's number one star, Li Mudi emphasized that Castilla's players in the game to minimize fouls in some positions, do not give opponents a good chance to direct free kicks. In addition, Serbian centre-back Srdjan Babic, who was just brought in by Real Sociedad B for two million euros in the summer, was sidelined due to injury for this game, which made the visiting team's attacking line less troublesome.

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

The Basque side were one of the last opponents Li Mudi would have ever faced, with a generally strong body and an indomitable fighting spirit, and were able to use both of these advantages to the fullest extent to offset their opponent's technical superiority, turning a modern gun war into a medieval hand-to-hand combat, with bloody bayonets and then moving through the corpses of their opponents.

Among the midfielders on the field, except for Mariano, who can put some pressure on the opponent physically, the other few people are like junior high school students meeting high school students in front of each other, and their height and weight are not of the same level. Some of the confrontations were obviously legitimate, but the away players would be very exaggerated as if they had been thrown out, and although this made the team very sluggish, it also misled the referee, causing the home team players to be awarded several less obvious fouls.

In the 31st minute, Mariano fell in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty, which made the players of Real Sociedad B very angry, thinking that it was not a foul at all. But the referee on duty was very resolute, and the home team had nothing to do but be shown two yellow cards. Abnell came from behind the scenes to give Castilla a 1-0 lead.

After falling behind by a goal due to an unacceptable decision, the home team's anger intensified, and the attack suddenly flourished, rushing towards the visitors' goal in waves. However, the wide cross tactics did not pose much threat to Castilla, although their physical condition was better than that of the away players, but the technique was still a little rougher, and the landing point of the cross was not ideal, and Castilla paid great attention to protecting the second landing point, resulting in Real Sociedad B's attack being a bit thunderous and rainy.

The second half was the same as it had been, with the home side constantly interacting from both flanks, but it was inefficient, with the only threatening attempt being narrowly denied by Yáñez. Instead, the referee decisively awarded a second penalty in the 66th minute when the visitors were tripped and fell to the ground after a quick counter-attack from La Left burst into the box. It's a pity that Abunel's shot this time was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Badaji, missing a golden opportunity to expand the score, and Li Mudi was so anxious on the sidelines that he beat his thigh.

In the end, Real Sociedad B couldn't knock on Yáñez's door, and Castilla won 1-0 away from home.

After the game, when asked by reporters about the first controversial penalty decision, Li Mudi responded: "I don't see if it's a foul, but since the referee saw it and made the decision, we should believe in his correctness." As for the injustice that Real Sociedad B said, I don't think it's a big deal to make a fuss, every team will encounter this kind of penalty that is difficult for them to accept for a while, maybe today you have better luck, tomorrow my luck is better, that's it. That's football, he's fair to everybody, so let him pass. This response was later assessed by the Real Sociedad B boss as unnutritious nonsense.

Later in the day, Real Madrid held Villarreal to a 1-1 draw away from home. In the eighth minute, the home team was broken by Real Madrid's youth academy Soldado; In the 81st minute, Zizou's metaphysics was powerful, and substitute Mbappe scored a goal in a corner kick attack, scoring his first goal in La Liga and helping the team get a valuable point.
