After winning the national derby and failing to feature in at least three league games, there were concerns in the Spanish media in the following days that Real Madrid's results could slip before the winter break, after all, Mbappe, Asensio and Varane are not as important to this team as Villarivre.

Even the Galaxy Battleship, which is known for its bench thickness, is unrealistic without major fluctuations in its form and results after losing these three core members at the same time.

So in the eyes of some media and netizens, maybe Barcelona, who lost that crucial battle, really ushered in a turnaround, as long as Xavi's team can play their best, before the league enters the rest period, there is still a big possibility.

But no one expected that when all ten matchups in the 17th round of La Liga on December 22 were over, Real Madrid, which was at the top of the table, not only did not shrink its previous four-point advantage, but increased by one point, which surprised too many people.

As for what happened during this period, we can find out from the reports of the country's most famous media outlets, such as Marca and As.

To paraphrase Felix's comment in Marca, "The Celestial Empire and the team he leads have shown the world terrible consistency, although they are no longer as sharp in attack due to injuries and seem to be a little too nervous in defence due to the lack of a leader, but on the whole, Real Madrid's belief in winning every game has not been lost." It's horrible that they've taken almost all of the points that were listed as planned against opponents who aren't as good as them in the rankings or the rankings. ”

In the middle of this month, the newspaper "As" made more detailed statistics on the basis of a previous report in the British media, and the results came up with extremely amazing data. That is, Li Mudi's team has an incredible 96.37% win rate against "weak teams", which means that he has hardly made any mistakes in places where he shouldn't have conceded points, which is simply an inhuman performance.

Through this data, experts have further developed it and pointed out that the Real Madrid coach has a ability that has not received enough attention from the outside world before, that is, the talent for effective tactical deployment against the opponent's weaknesses, which is definitely the first person in history. He is always able to find and take advantage of the opponent's shortcomings, so that his team can control the initiative on the court in the most correct way in the game, and let the opponent play at his own pace, which is equivalent to getting the key to winning before the game starts.

In addition, the Real Madrid coach has a superb on-the-spot adaptability, always able to respond best to situations that are very complex or extremely unfavourable.

The above two characteristics are combined in one person, which is really quite rare in the professional football industry, which has developed for more than 100 years, and may only be compared to the older generation of legendary managers such as Chapman or Michel, who are not very impressive to modern people. And this is because the latter are in that era when the information is not sound enough, and they all have a lot of apocryphal brilliance, and it is difficult to really evaluate objectively.

However, after such a summary, Li Mudi's head, which originally seemed a little fluctuating because of a year of rest, finally managed to stabilize the title of the world's number one coach. Previously, the European media has been touting that Pep Guardiola has regained the title of the best in the world by leading Manchester City to the Champions League, and the Spanish media is also supporting Xavi, the Barcelona coach, plus Simeone, who coaches Inter Milan, and other famous coaches Klopp and Pochettino's performances are excellent, which has caused a lot of impact on the Real Madrid manager.

But when La Liga and the five major leagues have reached the end of the year, this competition for the top spot in the head coach world has basically come to an end, and for the time being, no one can threaten Li Mudi's position. Unless Guardiola can achieve the feat of defending his Champions League title, he will be slightly inferior to the Celestial Empire, who had previously enjoyed great success at Arsenal.

It's just that the Real Madrid coach can get the recognition of mainstream football (even if his main purpose is not so), and it is still not clear how much work has been done and how much effort has been expended in the middle. However, as long as they know how Li Mudi has come over in the past three weeks, I believe they will admire the latter even more, but the object of admiration is not a coaching talent, and he is far more diligent than his peers.

From the end of the national derby on the 2nd to the end of the league with Betis on the 22nd and the winter break, in the early 20 days, although Li Mudi also went home every day for the night, the earliest time to enter the house will not be earlier than half past eight in the evening. If it weren't for the fact that the daughter who didn't have to go to kindergarten on weekends could take the opportunity to go to the club's residence to play with her father for a while, the father and daughter, who were tired of being together every day, would not have been able to meet, which is enough to prove how huge the Real Madrid manager's investment in work is.

As the team's strength has dropped seriously due to injuries and morale, as the helm of the Galaxy Battleship, Li Mudi has to do a better job in the pre-match preparation, so as to reduce the pressure on the players and improve the chances of winning the game.

Before, because the overall strength of Real Madrid was there, he only needed a general guidance strategy to sit back and enjoy the fruits of victory with confidence, and he started a nightmarish long-term overtime period, as if he had returned to the hard work in his previous life and could barely live a life for a month.

Fortunately, the final results were worthy of the rare efforts of this lazy advanced cancer patient, which did not make Li Mudi's sweat in vain, and at the same time, he was able to enter the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays with a relatively good mood, and had the opportunity to accompany the little princess to resolve the dissatisfaction she had accumulated during these days.

On 5 December, after rotating all of their starters for the national derby, Real Madrid comfortably defeated La Liga side Murcia 5-0 on their home turf to advance to the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey with a crushing aggregate score of 12-0.

Two days later, the draw for the quarterfinals was released, and the Galaxy Battleship met La Liga promotion Maras Palmas, and in terms of schedule, it also enjoyed a favorable arrangement of the first away and then the host, and the promotion situation was still bright.

The following weekend, the team travelled to take on their younger brother Rayo Vallecano, Zizo's eldest son, Enzo, who is the current star of the team, and has played well in the past few seasons.

In Li Mudi's plan, not only must this three points be in the bag, but if the situation allows, he also wants to send Elias in the second half, so that the young man can complete his long-cherished wish to compete with his brother. If Zizou's two sons can really appear on the same field, surely the old man who has encountered some difficulties at Old Trafford this season must have some comfort, after all, Enzo, Luca and Theo have also played together in Spain before, but have never met in an official match, which is really a bit regrettable.

It's just that his wishful thinking didn't start in the end, the game was won, and the process was relatively easy, even if the score of 3 to 1 was not a complete victory, but it was enough to satisfy the incomplete lineup of Real Madrid.

But just as the manager was about to bring back from the warm-up in the 64th minute of the second half with his friend's fourth son, the Brazilian striker Rodrygo, who had already scored a brace, was kicked in the calf by the home defender during a dribble, and grinned in pain on the turf.

Judging from the immediate feedback given by the FM system, this should be a soft tissue contusion, which is not a big problem, and it will heal after three or four days of rest. However, Li Mudi, who was facing a shortage of personnel in the forward position, naturally did not dare to be careless, and immediately changed his previous plan and let Dybala come off the bench to play the role of a single striker.

The main purpose of this is to worry that the rash introduction of young players will not create enough pressure on the opponent in attack, so that Rayo Vallecano can take the opportunity to strengthen the attack and upset the original balance on the field.

When the score was 3-1 until five minutes of normal time remained, the Real Madrid manager, who was no longer worried about losing points, used his last substitution. It was only because Enzo had been replaced by the opposing coach that he gave the young striker Jorge Solsano, who had performed well in midweek, a complimentary opportunity to play, much to the disappointment of his nephew Elias, who had been looking forward to it for several days.

However, three days later, Li Mudi still made amends to the other two youngsters in addition to Jorge, and in the final match of the Champions League group stage against Dutch powerhouse Ajax, the Real Madrid coach who took the lead early with Mbappe's two goals began to make personnel adjustments in the 60th minute of the second half.

He replaced captain Vallejo with centre-back Zori and put the youngster alongside Skriniar at the back, hoping he could learn more from watching the world's top defender up close.

Elias Zinedine Zidane then made his Champions League debut in the 73rd minute, but he was put on the right wing, and Lee wanted the left-footer to work on the flanks with his rarely used approach to attacking inside, after all, teams rarely have a midfielder in the formation now, and if they want to get more playing time, the lad needs to complete the transition as soon as possible.

It's just that what the Real Madrid coach never expected was that Ajax, who had no pressure to win or lose, suddenly played a wave of high when the game entered the final stage. Chao, not only narrowed the difference to one goal with a long-range shot from the world wave, but also threatened Courtois's goal several times in a row. Had it not been for Rizzo's late blockade of an opponent's follow-up shot on the goal line, perhaps the game would have ended 2-2.

If such a result is achieved in Amsterdam, Real Madrid will drop back to second place in the group by two points, which is very bad news for the draw for the first knockout round to be held next week.

Fortunately, his substitution of two young players in the second half did not cause a tragedy, which will not only be of great benefit to the team in the future European competition, but also does not make the team lose the confidence to continue to train the newcomers in official games, which can be regarded as a happy situation.

On Sunday the 15th, after the end of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid immediately ushered in the most important week of double matches before the winter break, and they will face Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao and Betis in the league three strong opponents in the top 10 of the standings.

Especially the first two, they can be called the bitter masters of the Galaxy Battleship, and they have made the La Liga giants reluctantly swallow the bitter fruit of defeat several times, and together with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, they have become Real Madrid's four opponents with the lowest winning rate in the domestic league.

Therefore, whether they can achieve an ideal result in these three consecutive matches has become the top priority for them to maintain the lead in the standings, and the challenge of Sevilla on their home turf can be used as a litmus test of whether Real Madrid can play at the top level in Europe despite the absence of multiple main players.

The end result was satisfying, with centre-back Melle scoring from a corner shortly after the break, and the Galaxy took the lead in a timely opportunity to come up with their best counter-attacking tactics to contain the visitors, who were in desperate need of points to secure fourth place in the league.

Although Asensio's injury and Mbappe's suspension have made Real Madrid's two flanks lose their absolute pressure in the front, in this game where there can be no mistakes, Li Mudi boldly used Dybala and gave the Argentine veteran an absolute central position, making the team's front line form a more effective whole, this strategy has received very good results.

In the second half, Febas seized on an oversight in the opposition defence and scored his second goal of the season with a long-range shot to seal the win, thus ending an embarrassing three-game winless streak against the Young Guards.

However, three days later, at the San Mamés Stadium in the Basque Country, Real Madrid were unable to extend their winning streak, leading almost the entire game, but before the end of the game, they accidentally contributed an own goal under the pressure of their opponents before the end and had to return to Madrid with a 1-1 draw.

Fortunately, Lady Luck still favors the Galaxy Battleship, and in another key battle that was completed at the same time, Barcelona lost 1-2 away to Atletico Madrid, which has rebounded from form, not only did not narrow the gap with the leader, but became farther and farther away from the sworn enemy.

After this small twist and turn, Real Madrid can finally settle down and prepare for their final game before the winter break, and on the 22nd, they returned to the Bernabeu to put in a championship-level performance against Betis, who are temporarily eighth in the standings. Especially Mbappe, who had been holding back in the stands for three rounds, had a big explosion as soon as the ban was lifted, and his first hat-trick of the season was completed in less than an hour with an overhead kick, which was applauded by the fans in unison.

Asensio, on the other hand, also contributed in this game, coming on as a substitute for 30 minutes and looking in good form.

A 4-0 thrashing ended the first half of the season perfectly for Real Madrid, and it looks like they have swept the effects of the last two years into the dustbin, and the future looks bright.
