The physical coach O'Lelana and defensive coach Santiago Sanchez in the coaching staff are very strict, and most of the players in the team are not bad in professionalism, so the overall training effect is still satisfactory, and the only thing that Li Mudi needs to worry about is the team's offensive tactics. The players in the front field have no problems in terms of technique and physical condition, and the effect shown in the usual training is not bad, but Li Mudi still feels that the cooperation between them is a little sluggish, the side is too sticky, and the passing control in the midfield does not show the dominance it should have.

The main lineup has been preliminarily determined: goalkeeper Yáñez, right wing-back Forlan, central defenders Hajmi and Leon, left-back Abernel, central midfielders Odegaard and Toro, forward Enzo, right winger Alvaro, left winger La Zuo, center forward Mariano.

Just when the rookie coach was busy deploying offensive tactics, the day came on July 26, and the first game of Li Mudi's coaching career began. Since then, a legend - not even a shadow can be seen.

Since it is the first appearance of the new season, tickets are waived, and fans can watch for free with a ticket stub or season pass voucher for any game from the previous season. The Stadio Alfredo Di Stefano, which averaged just over 4,000 last season, is today full of 6,500 seats.

After arranging the tactical play of the game, with a few words of encouragement, the players began to enter. Seeing twenty-two young people who were not a few years younger than him bouncing into the stadium, Li Mudi only felt that the sound of his heart beating wildly was so loud that it even overshadowed the still enthusiastic cheers of the fans. Sweat came uninvited again, dripping down the head onto the white shirt.

A drop of sweat flowed into his eyes, and the salt in it stung Li Mudi, and he quickly took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket while everyone's attention was on the field, and quickly wiped the sweat on his face a few times. After tidying up a little, I turned around and took a bottle of mineral water from the back of the coach's seat and took two sips to relieve my nervousness.

A whistle blows, and the game officially begins.

As the striker of Athletic Bilbao B turned the football back to his teammates, Li Mudi's attention was instantly grasped by the game, as if no one else or anything else existed, and the tension before the game disappeared without a trace.

In this match, Biba B used a 5-4-1 defensive lineup. The configuration of three central defenders, a defensive midfielder makes their personnel density in the backfield very exaggerated, and Castilla's attacking coordination problems are a lot, so the scene is ugly. One side defends intensively and the quality of counter-attacks is also poor; The other side wanted to press hard, but there were so many offensive mistakes that it was completely impossible to effectively allocate the football to a reasonable position. To put it mildly, the quality of this kind of game is not as good as the amateur players of the Spanish regional league, and even has a fight with the Celestial Empire national football team - forgive me for hacking it here.

Li Mudi kept shouting on the sidelines, directing the players to run, but it had no effect at all. Thirty minutes into the first half, after discussing with Solari, Li Mudi asked the players on the field to change the pre-match arrangement. Instead of attacking aggressively, it became a long possession of the ball, paralyzing the opponent's defensive awareness through the backwards of the central midfield, so as to seek opportunities, but unfortunately it did not work. At the end of 45 minutes, 0-0, Li Mudi's team performed badly.

Through the observation of the first half and the various data and ratings given in the FM system, Li Mudi has found the crux of the team: in addition to the short training time, everyone has not yet developed some routine habits, and the ability of the forward Odegaard and forward Enzo in the organization has not been brought into play at all. The two men not only did not cooperate on the field, but interfered with each other, causing the midfielder's rhythm and handling of the ball to be completely out of control.

Odegaard's best fit would be in midfield, a position he prefers to play, as well as a perfect fit for the right winger position. But the team didn't have a reliable technical player in the central midfield position, and it would be wasteful to put Enzo on the bench. In reality, Rafael Benitez changed his line-up from 4-2-3-1 to a similar 4-3-3 to Barcelona during the Dream II period some time after the start of the new season. The three midfielders do not have a forward midfielder, and occasionally retreat a back midfielder, which leads to the world-class attacking midfielders James Rodríguez (James Rodríguez) and Isco can only play wingers as substitutes for "200 million", which is too violent!

Li Muddy is very interested in the individual abilities of Odegaard and Enzo, and feels that this two are Xavi and Andrés Iniesta of Castile, who can bring terrifying dominance to the team. Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, Alvaro was replaced by Muñoz, and Odegao was transferred to the right wing, becoming a midfielder with Muñoz and Toro, and Odegaard mainly played as a right winger.

After the adjustment, the team's form has improved a little compared to the first half, but it still hasn't played a good team game, but there are fewer unnecessary mistakes. It wasn't until the 75th minute that Enzo was replaced and Odegaard moved to a midfield position that the team made a few dangerous attacks, but unfortunately they were all to no avail under the opponent's heavy defense.

In the end, the first game of Li Mudi's coach ended 0-0, and the team's performance was unsatisfactory, and the players in the FM system gave the player rating, all the frontcourt players were below 6 points, including Enzo 5.5 and Odegaard 5.8.

After the game, Li Mudi urgently convened a meeting of the coaching staff to discuss the various problems that leaked out of the game, and the meeting lasted until 8 o'clock in the evening.

Back in the apartment, the system interface was brought up, and the specific performance data of the players in this game was found, seeing that Odegaard always pushed up to occupy Enzo's position, and Enzo only passed the ball to Odegaard six times in the seventy minutes he played, Li Mudi frowned and thought about a solution.

Before the next day's training, Li Mudi deliberately found two people to chat for a while. Enzo went home last night under the guidance of his father Qizu, and he had already understood what his problem was, and apologized frankly to Li Mudi, saying that he should not deliberately ignore Odegaard, and that they would strengthen their ties with each other in the future, and would also temporarily switch positions with Odegaard when he was inserted to protect the integrity of the formation. Seeing Enzo's performance, Li Muddy is very happy, only those who can face up to their strengths and weaknesses, have the courage to admit their mistakes after discovering them, and can correct them in time will move towards success, and little Enzo has seen his father's back in this regard.

Odegaard, on the other hand, was also sorry for his performance in the last game, and after asking a few tactical points, he tactfully offered to swap his positions with Enzo. After receiving no definite answer, he returned to the training ground in a rather calm manner.

Li Mudi's brows furrowed involuntarily again.

In the next few days, the team intensified the practice of various tactical combinations in the midfield. Li Mudi is not a rigid coach, and because the players and coaches see the game from different perspectives, the two will see things differently. He prefers the players to judge the situation on the field, and he will only stand up to remind and arrange new tactical play when the players have obvious errors in judgment or control. Therefore, the organizational core is the top priority for Li Moody's team, and the possibility of the next Maradona and Zidane in modern football may be very small, so the duo similar to Xavi and Iniesta has always been what Li Moody wants to focus on.

Unfortunately, the coordination between Enzo and Odegaard was very slow. The former is only decent in the position of central midfielder, and his ability to play is less than sixty percent; The latter, on the other hand, clearly prefers to play as a midfielder, and even if he starts as a central midfielder, he always runs forward unconsciously, causing chaos in the whole formation.

Li Mudi suspected that his brain cells had died countless times, and kept meeting with the coaching staff to discuss and make adjustments, hoping to solve this big problem as soon as possible.

On 1 August, they visited Huesca, a side in the second division of the French province of Huesca, who were in the same group as Castilla in La B last season, and finally won the title and were promoted through the play-offs. Although it was promoted to the second division, it was trapped with funds and scale, and the strength of the new reinforcements introduced was not too strong, so the overall strength was not much different from Castile.

The course of the game also proved this, and in the first half there was no threat from either side, and the performance was half-hearted. In the 65th minute of the second half, Li Muddy replaced Odegaard, who had not been working well with Enzo, and Castilla gradually dominated the attack, and in the 83rd minute, the left winger pulled the left to score the only goal of the game, and finally Castilla won the first warm-up game 1-0.

The problems between Odegaard and Enzo are still unresolved, which makes Li Mudi feel very helpless, and it is extremely frustrating to encounter a hurdle that may not be overcome at the beginning of his coaching career. Do you have to put one of them on the bench?

When he turned on the FM system in the evening and observed the situation of the team, Odegaard appeared to be dissatisfied: he had some doubts about the manager's coaching ability, and he was a little dissatisfied with the current situation of the team. "I'll plug in! Lao Tzu is busy and hasn't shouted tired yet, you kid is dissatisfied first. Wait, I'll give you little shoes to wear tomorrow! Li Mudi said angrily.

The next day, Li Mudi got up early and had breakfast and walked towards the U19 training ground.

"Good morning, Hans. Got time? I'd like to talk to you. "Li Mudi used one of his nirvana: find parents!

Hans Erik Odegaard, the father of Martin Odegaard, who was brought in by Real Madrid when he was brought in, is this an unspoken rule that is now the coach of Real Madrid's Under-19 team?

"Hi Lee. Of course, I'd love to have a good chat with you, how did Martin do in the reserves? "Mr. Hans is still very polite to his son's boss.
