In the 14th round of La Liga at home against Valladolid on the 29th, in the face of this "friendly team" that is very close to their own family at the club level, Real Madrid players will naturally not let go of the water, after all, they still have to work hard to achieve the league three consecutive championships.

However, the skills of the away team's bus, but after experiencing the baptism of strong teams such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, they really found their own unique way, and in the 90 minutes of the game, only allowed the Galaxy Battleship, which had 27 opportunities to score, only scored one goal, which has to make people admire their defensive strength.

And Valladolid also caught a not-so-obvious mistake by the home side early in the second half, when Belgian midfielder Niklas Raskin scored a brilliant long-range strike to break the five-year curse of not being able to score at the Bernabeu, and gritted their teeth to hold the score 1-1 until the end, leaving a full stadium of Real Madrid supporters with a point held high, leaving a full face of grief on the faces of Real Madrid supporters.

The unexpected draw left the reigning La Liga champions at the top two teams in the table widening the gap, which was obviously unsatisfactory to the club, but apart from a few more emotional fans, no one has made much accusations against Lucas Canizares, because everyone has seen the efforts of the young goalkeeper through various channels, and judging by his current age and accumulated game experience, It's really hard to put the blame for the poor results at the moment on a young man who is already doing everything he can to help the team.

Therefore, within the team and on the official forums, there are all kinds of words of encouragement for Canizares Jr., reflecting the historical heritage and momentum that a giant club should have.

Even with a pair of eyes that can see through the future, it is very clear that no matter how hard the young goalkeeper tries to achieve his wish - Li Mudi, who has become the main goalkeeper of Real Madrid, has never shown a trace of blaming the other party for failing to save those difficult attacks, and still maintains a strict and amiable attitude on the training field in daily training, and does everything possible to help the young player improve.

Especially on December 2, after Real Madrid lost 1-2 at home to Manchester United in the final round of the Champions League group stage and was beaten by the opponent, in the face of fierce criticism of Lucas Canizares in the media, the team coach still stood up at the first time and expressed his position of supporting his disciples.

"When the opening whistle blew, we, like all the fans, went against it with the belief that we would go all out. It's just that this game will not have any impact on the group standings, so I will coincidentally rotate the lineup with Zizou, on the one hand, to let those players who play less time on weekdays find the feeling of the game and train the newcomers, and most importantly, to save for the weekend league effort. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zizou now whether he would rather fly to Madrid for a passing scene or stay in England for a battle with Liverpool at the top of the table. ”

"It's just that in this contest between the rotation players, our state is slightly inferior, mainly because a few people have been absent from the team for a long time and have not been able to play to their full strength, so losing is not a problem for one player, in terms of responsibility, I and the coaching staff are the first to bear the brunt."

"As for whether I would be angry at Lucas's recent performances? No, he's good enough. Before you want to criticize him, I hope you can put yourself in your shoes, if it were you, a 22-year-old young goalkeeper who had only started in La Liga before, and suddenly because of the injury of the team's No. 1 and No. 2 goalkeepers, he was given the responsibility of defending the last hurdle of a giant team like Real Madrid, could he do better than him? ”

"From a professional point of view, Lucas's current ability does still have a lot to improve, but we should never have any doubts about his work attitude and determination to win, so in my opinion, some of the criticism is absolutely nonsense."

It's just that their remarks not only did not calm down too many doubts for Canizares Jr., but were also considered by the outside world to be a dead duck's mouth, because in the weekend league game, Real Madrid conceded another goal, since Moja Ramos was injured, they have not completed a clean sheet, and everyone's finger will inevitably be pointed at the young man whose performance is still unsatisfactory.

Fortunately, the players in the front court found their form in time and scored more goals to help Real Madrid end the slump of two consecutive league games without a win, and beat promoted Real Oviedo 4-1 away from the previous predicament.

Soon, however, the most important game for the team in the first half of the season will come, the first national derby will be played at the Camp Nou on December 13, for Real Madrid, seven points behind Barcelona, this is an extremely rare opportunity to close the difference, must give 100% or more energy to win.

It's just that the Catalan giants have been in great shape since the start of the season, and they have been placed in a group that can almost be called a guarantee in the Champions League, so that they can lock the top spot early without spending too much energy, so they can always be in a worry-free posture in the league.

As of the end of the 15th round, Xavi's team has achieved a total of 12 wins and 3 draws unbeaten record, and the performance can be said to be very impressive, even if it is not comparable to the Galaxy Battleship in the same period last year, but it can still rank in the top 10 in La Liga history (tied with many seasons).

And after making very targeted adjustments to the forward line and back line in the summer, Barcelona's previous forward speed ability and some weak defensive weaknesses have been well compensated, so that their offensive and defensive play at both ends of the game has quickly returned to its former peak, which makes people see the shadow of Dream II and Dream Three.

In particular, the French striker Guiri, who was poached from Lyon for a sky-high price of 123 million euros, was almost like a custom for the La Liga giants, and quickly integrated into the team's tactics, squeezing Abel Ruiz and Dolberg, who were still competing for the main position, to the bench.

In addition to two games against underdogs, the 26-year-old top goalscorer, who is known as Thierry Henry II, has scored 13 goals in 13 league games, and has overtaken Manuel Pellegri who has missed more games to occupy the top scorer position, and is the biggest threat to all teams, including Real Madrid.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess what the strategy of Li Mudi was before the game, in the first two seasons when he had the advantage of strength, he also used defensive counterattack tactics when he visited Camp Nou, not to mention that there is still a huge uncertainty in the goalkeeper position.

This led to Real Madrid being in a miserable situation for almost the entire 90 minutes in this high-profile battle, but this is also the result of having to put more effort into the defensive end in order to provide more protection for their own goal.

It's just that many of the media who have been accustomed to gorgeous offensive football and those who are afraid of chaos in the world can't accept the performance of the Galaxy Battleship, and since the start of the game, some forums and Instagram and other social media have been criticized for Real Madrid's ugly, shameless or Li Moodi's tactics are too conservative, like being possessed by Mourinho, etc., which have continued until the final whistle sounded, and it has not stopped.

For some people, spraying and blackness have almost become his own instinct, and he does not even think about the circumstances of the person involved, and will make brainless accusations whenever he sees something that is not going his way.

However, Li Mudi doesn't care about these things at all, as a successful football coach, he knows very well what his goals and tasks are, and he also knows how to take the road to success, so he will not be affected by the outside world at all. Allow criticism from others, because that is the right of all people, but resolutely cannot blindly follow, only those with great perseverance and strong will can become the ultimate victor.

Therefore, even though tens of thousands of home fans at the Camp Nou have been trying to provoke the Real Madrid coach and his disciples with all kinds of abuse and ridicule, Li Mudi on the sidelines has always put on a calm and calm expression, and constantly reminded the players on the field to continue to implement the plan arranged before the game, and did not fall for the opponent's agitation.

In the end, under the strict defense of the visiting team, Barcelona, who dominated 68% of the possession of the ball, perfectly interpreted what it means to be scoreless, and the 5-of-16 shooting statistics were obviously a little inconsistent with their performance on the field today. The dream front four of Guyri, Kai Havertz, Artur and Sergio Gomez, who had high expectations, were unable to unleash their maximum energy under Real Madrid's key constraints, and Xavi's ranking formation also seemed to be somewhat debatable, failing to create enough threat on both flanks.

Even their upgraded defensive line did not leave the opponent's offensive line with super counter-attacking ability to take advantage of any opportunity, but the Catalan giants, who were struggling to break the goal, still reluctantly accepted a draw with no end in their advantage, and failed to take the opportunity to continue to widen the points gap between their sworn enemies.

Real Madrid, who have successfully defended the current seven-point difference, can finally say goodbye to the painful days of the previous whole month, because from the 15th, that is, next Wednesday, they will leave for the Celestial Empire to participate in the annual Club World Cup. Since the opponents are generally weaker, it should logically be a relatively easy trip.

In addition, German goalkeeper Früchtel has also improved significantly after returning to training, and he has regained the feeling in front of goal seven or eight months ago in the shortest possible time. Of course, due to the long-term absence from the battle formation, his overall ability has declined slightly, and he must not be able to adapt to the rhythm of the real game for the time being. However, this is not a problem, I believe that after a series of targeted training, his ability to decline due to injury can still be fully recovered soon, after all, the age of 26 is here, and the operation has been very successful.

As for the lack of actual combat training, it is better to solve it, just to take the World Club Cup to practice, it is simply too perfect, except that the flight distance is indeed a little too far This shortcoming.

To explain a little about this year's Club World Cup schedule, in 2020 FIFA wanted to rehabilitate what is theoretically the most important international football tournament for clubs, and turn it into a major tournament similar to the World Cup and the European Championship. It will be expanded to 24 teams (including 12 from Europe), divided into six groups, and then played in the knockout rounds to determine the third place in Europe and Asia, which will be held every four years, and the time will also be changed to the summer.

However, this proposal obviously does not pass the UEFA hurdle, whether it is from the perspective of the huge threat that this new format will pose to the Champions League, or the fact that the major clubs are already suffering from too many games to play, it is clear that this plan will not win the support of the vast majority of people in Europe.

However, due to the power and influence of FIFA, after years of repeated discussions, the Club World Cup will change from 2026 onwards, returning to the same model it was when it was first established. That is, the most important continental trophy winners on the six continents, the host team plus the European League champions, a total of eight teams, the two European teams and the South American champions avoid each other in the first round, the rest is to catch each other, and then there is the normal elimination system, and finally there is a group of three or four in addition to a final.

Such a small change increases the number of matches and the time consumed, bringing more revenue to FIFA and perhaps a short-term hot market for the organizers, but there is really not much benefit for the individual participants, especially the two European teams. If you don't get the final championship honor, then this trip is really in vain, and it can't match the paid for it.

It's just that as a game similar to the ZZ mission, even if you don't want to suffer from the fatigue of this car, Real Madrid has to be strong to face it. Fortunately, there is a six-time championship honor in front as a bait, and there is the novelty of going to the team's coach's home country, so everyone's mood is still good, which ensures that their competitive state does not fluctuate too much due to the long flight, and lays a good foundation for the subsequent consecutive victories.
