Chapter 628: No one is irreplaceable

"Coach Li, this is As, what is the reason why Asensio and Mbappe were absent from tonight's highlight game against Atletico Madrid?"

"I've been coaching in European football for more than a decade, so it's a shame that I'm no stranger to my philosophy of employing people, but it's a shame that someone still asks this well-known question. However, I can reiterate here that only players who are in relatively good physical and mental condition will be included in the squad I coach, and the most important factor is that the attitude of the players in daily training must be approved by the coaching staff, otherwise even the World Footballer of the Year will be waiting in the stands. ”

"So what does Coach Lee mean that Asensio and Mbappe have not had the right attitude in training? Is it related to the fact that their contract renewal negotiations are not going well? ”

"Why can't it be that they're not fit enough to play? Well, I really don't have anything to answer about your speculation, after all, it involves the team's plans for the future fixtures, which are already classified and cannot be disclosed to the outside world. However, since I dare to report such a list, it proves that this is the most combative squad that the team can come up with at the moment, and I believe that as long as I can play normally, there is still a good chance of winning this city derby. ”

"Coach Li, this is "Daily Sport", according to reliable sources, Asensio's contract renewal process has been shelved, and Mbappe and other players are still in negotiations, but it seems that the progress is not obvious, does this mean that there is a huge crisis between the players and the club?"

"It is clear to those in football circles that it is normal for contract renewal negotiations to drag on for two or three months or even half a year, and there is nothing to make a fuss about, so it is not known what the journalist from Catalonia means by crisis. In my opinion, it makes sense for players to want better treatment and for clubs to spend as little as possible, and if even the most basic bargaining can be called a crisis in your eyes, I don't think there is any team in this world that is stable. ”

"But judging from the current situation, the poor contract renewal of several main players of Real Madrid has affected their state, is this still a normal situation?"

"It's a common thing for players to have ups and downs, is there anyone in the world who can be in great form all the time? If you know, you can refer it to the Madrid City Hospital, I think the doctors there will be willing to study what kind of secret that person is hiding, and when they come to a conclusion, they must inform our team to see if this miracle can be replicated, so that Real Madrid is really invincible. ”

"Coach Lee, this is Marca, when will players such as Asensio and Mbappe return to the starting line-up?"

"They haven't been banned, so they're going to be back as soon as they meet the demands of the coaching staff, so what's the doubt? As for the exact time, it may be in the Champions League next Wednesday, it may be in the league in seven days, of course, it may be a long, long time later, everything is still unknown. ”

Surprisingly and reasonably, the Madrid derby, which should have attracted everyone's attention, had to play a supporting role in the face of the big changes in the Real Madrid team, and only a few journalists' questions were related to it, and the rest of the people's interest was clearly no longer the main event of this round of European competition.

However, for the media's various questions with good intentions or malice, Li Mudi did not take the opportunity to point the finger at the "perpetrator" so as to achieve the goal of killing one hundred people, but he also did not cover it up, but basically put the true state of the incident and his own thoughts on the table clearly.

Although there are still a large number of people in the outside world who think that there are many insincere words in the words of the Real Madrid coach, but through the subsequent network survey, at least sixty percent of the United States said that after this press conference, he still said that he alleviated his worries about the team, so that the Galaxy Battleship, which is on the cusp of the storm, has gained some time to find a solution, and has not made the situation more serious.

It's just that due to the unknown suspension of several main players, especially the two core of the team, the impact on the strength of the team is too great, and it is bound to cause a large decline in Real Madrid's results, which is the most worrying problem for all team supporters.

Take this Madrid derby as an example, it can be seen from the odds originally offered by the bookmaker that everyone is still very optimistic about the Galaxy Battleship being able to win at home, after all, there is a certain gap between the two sides after the winter break, and the strength can only be said to be barely at a level, and the Bernabeu's geographical advantage and advantages as a bonus, the outside world is still generally optimistic that the home team can win by more than two goals.

However, after the news that stars such as Asensio and Mbappe were excluded from the squad the day before the game, the odds of the two sides have been greatly adjusted, and it has become a situation where the away team has a more advantage, which really hurts a group of bettors who have won the game before buying Real Madrid.

The course of the game also proved the professionalism of the bookmaker, even though the main striker Antonio Marin was also not included in the squad due to injury, but the Sheets Army, under the leadership of two veterans of Saul and Rodri, still had the upper hand in the battle against Real Madrid, who lacked a number of big players. Among them, Diego Linez, who joined the team during the winter break, quickly adapted to Atletico's tactical style of play, and quickly rose to become the core of the attack, especially in this game.

The short Mexican winger is not in a fixed position, with both flanks and the middle being his gateway to the home defence, and his skill at his feet is also very good, and with his agile skills, there is really a bit of Messi's shadow. In short, except for Ndidi, who was able to hold his ground in the middle, the full-backs David Carmona and Alvaro Fernandez on both sides were almost bursting into a sieve, and they couldn't stop the onslaught of the visiting star.

In order to make up for the holes in the wings, Real Madrid's other two central midfielders, Fambas and Ceballos, were also forced to retreat to deep positions on their own side, making it difficult for their attacking organization to play the rapid counter-attack effect of the past.

And Cesar Helabott and Vinicius, who replaced the two cores as starters, although the gap in individual skills is not too big, but the speed ability and grasp of timing are still lacking a lot. In particular, the former directly halved the power of the fast advance tactics that the home team is best at, and it was difficult to create pressure on the opponent, so that Atletico could confidently and boldly invest more troops in the offensive end and seize the dominance of the game.

Fortunately, the central defensive barrier of Skriniar and Zori was still very solid, and with the experienced Courtois behind them to provide them with the help of the perspective, Ndidi's performance was still trustworthy, so he did not make any fatal mistakes in the stormy siege of the opponent in the first half, and kept the score 0-0 until the break.

In the face of Atletico Madrid's aggressive momentum and state, Li Mudi was naturally not completely unprepared, but the team was still affected by the absence of several cores and failed to give full play to his original strength. Therefore, in this extremely precious quarter of an hour, he did not make too many adjustments, but focused on explaining what the team was not doing well in the first half, and took out the hidden danger in the ribs of the opponent's defense, and asked the frontcourt players to boldly attack the combination between the full-back and the central defender after receiving the ball.

Immediately after the restart, the home side took advantage of the kick-off to implement a planned counter-pressing strategy, with seven players, including two full-backs, pressing across the halfway line and putting huge pressure on Atletico's defence.

However, because Real Madrid will play a wave of explosive play in the opening stage of the second half is already a well-known thing in world football, so the away team is still very well prepared, leaving only Diego Linez and local center Borja GarczΓ©s to contain the opponent's defense, the rest of the players all retreated to within 15 meters of the front of the penalty area, using the numerical advantage to resist the home team's strong attack, and finally got a good effect.

Vinicius, who had high hopes from Li Mudi, disappointed his manager with his on-the-spot performance today, and with the help of many teammates, he was often able to make the fans stand and cheer for his individual breakthrough skills, but he was deflated in front of Atletico Madrid defender Rodri and central defender Javier Montero. After being blocked by the opponent's high-intensity physical confrontation many times, this former genius, who was hailed as "a new generation of Brazilian magicians" by the outside world, became a little timid, and the tactical intentions arranged by Li Mudi came to naught.

And his dumb fire also caused Real Madrid to lose the most threatening way of attacking the position, and could only make a fuss about the side crosses and long-term passing to create the opponent's negligence, but these two points are precisely the least mistakes in Atletico Madrid, and the difficulty of attacking can be imagined.

What's more troublesome is that after this wave of attempts, the siege of the home team is bound to not last forever, and after the momentum gradually declines, the opponent will definitely seize the opportunity to seize the initiative, and then use the overall strength advantage to replicate the situation in the first half to press Real Madrid back into the half. In a way, this effort may be the best chance for Li Mudi and his disciples to win, once they are pressed back by the opponent, with their current counter-attacking ability, the distance from the goal will almost be stretched to a limit, and the tie will become the most ideal ending, which is a scene that all Real Madridians do not want to see.

At the critical moment, the hero finally appeared. In the 55th minute, Real Madrid reversed their feet in the midfield and completed two large shifts between the two wings in succession, in an attempt to make the opponent's defensive line leak in the movement. Unfortunately, these attempts have not been successful even if they were lucky.

In the end, after Atletico suddenly increased the intensity of the tackles, the home team was on the verge of collapse since the start of the second half. With two players in between, Ceballos had no choice but to opt for a risky diagonal pass and hand the problem to Pellegri in front of him, while he himself was ready to drop back and get into a defensive stance.

The result was a slightly irresponsible pass that turned out to be a classic goal. The Italian striker, in the unfavorable situation of being side-to-side and closely marked by defenders in front and behind, chose to use an imaginative right-footed outside instep pick-up action, first completed a rainbow-like throw of the ball in front of himself and Atletico's entire backline, and then stepped away from his long legs, and rushed into the box with an acceleration to form a golden opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly.

At this moment, the entire arena and outside fell into a deathly silence, because everyone was stunned by this wonderful extraordinary action. Although the visiting centre-backs Jimenez and Montero subconsciously chased back, they fell behind Pellegri due to reaction time, and could only watch as the latter used a feint to shake off the centre of gravity of his team-mate Diogo Costa, Portugal international, and then scored with a very free volley.

1-0, Real Madrid was about to pass the victory, with a strike from their own center genius to take a temporary lead. And when the 80,000 home team fans applauded wildly, Li Mudi on the sidelines also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, his previous move to exclude several cores from the squad still attracted some doubts from the outside world and even within the club, and the most effective way to fight back is undoubtedly to prove that his choice is extremely correct, and winning this derby is undoubtedly the most powerful evidence.

In addition, the victory over this strong opponent can also serve as a certain warning, which can make the likes of Asensio and Mbappe realize the reality that no one is irreplaceable in the current Real Madrid team. If you don't get your position right as soon as possible, there will be some shocking events in the transfer market in the summer of the 2026 World Cup. The moment when the world's No. 1 coach showed his skills is something that many people have been looking forward to for a long time.
