Chapter 665: Fulfilling Dreams
In terms of squad structure, the current Real Madrid team has the world's top stars on all fronts, and even down to every position, it is also the best in European football.
In terms of goalkeepers, even though Kepa Arrizabalaga has left the club at the end of the season to officially join Valencia, German international Früchtl is a presence in the top five goalkeepers in the world with his performances in the last season and a half, joining Manchester United's Donnarumma, Diogo Costa of Atletico Madrid, Juventus' Alban Lafon and Barcelona's Meier Svillar among the top goalkeepers, followed by Gavin Bazunu, Andre Lunin and Thibaut Courtois.
In the center of the back, although no player has entered the top 10 of the value list of the position in "German Transfer", but only in terms of individual ability and the effect of the combination, Vallejo, Jose Martinez and Bediachar are the perfect defensive backbone that meets the requirements of the team's manager. Even the Portuguese teenager Tom Almeida, who was still labeled as a reckless man before, has made incredible progress after landing at the Bernabeu, and he has finally opened up by the Spanish media, so in terms of the comprehensive strength of this position, few teams can compare with the current Galaxy Battleship.
As for the two full-backs/wing-backs on the left and right, David Carmona is only ranked fourth in the value list of the same position in "Derby" due to his age and potential, but in terms of individual strength, he is of course the world's No. 1 right-back, better than Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Dalot, who are not in good form enough. Behind him, the 22-year-old Álvaro Herrera is already a little eager to grab the power, the Madrid local star who joined La Fabrica at the age of 11 has become a key training target at all levels because of his high potential, and now he has been promoted to the first team and has been reused under Li Mudi, and the future development prospects are limitless.
Relatively speaking, the strength of the left-back may be a weak link in Real Madrid, but Alvaro Fernandez, who has a strong assist ability, and Miguel Gutiérrez, who has excellent defensive awareness, also form a set of highly complementary combinations, so Li Mudi can be deployed according to the needs of the field, so it is also very strong on the whole.
Finally, let's take a look at the star-studded midfield, Ndidi, who still holds the title of the world's No. 1 midfielder, Marcos Llorente and Febas, the core of the midfield who can best represent the spirit of Real Madrid, Mbappe, the number one player in today's football who won the World Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years, Pellegri Pellegri, Henry II Rodrygo, and set-piece master Ferran Torres...... Almost every name is a household name superstar in world football, and the dazzling degree of putting together is really worthy of the title of the team's galaxy battleship.
And what makes other competitors feel even more desperate is that the average age of this team is not high, the oldest in the team is 32-year-old Marcos Llorente, plus 30-year-old Vallejo and Carmona, only these three people in the entire squad are not under 20 generations, you say terrible is not terrible!
Li Mudi is another famous "Zhengtai control", 22-year-old Zori, Alvaro Herrera, Jorge Solsano, 21-year-old Elias Zidane and less than 18-year-old Riverola, have begun to get more and more playing time under the Real Madrid coach, which means that the team that has achieved great success for three consecutive years has begun their new round of renewal, and the whole process is still so smooth and natural, so the "Real Madrid threat theory" or "white terror frenzy" will spread throughout European football, making the major giants feel a little panicked.
Just over 20 days before the start of the tournament, the 24 participating teams have announced their 23-man squads, and the Galaxy is once again the club with the most international players, with a total of 16 players set to spend a game in the Apennines this summer that is destined to be a football feast that they will never forget.
Guti's decision to recruit as many as 11 local players from his parent team to the Matadors in one fell swoop caused an uproar, as it had not happened to a football powerhouse for a long time.
It's just that after the analysis of the media and professionals, everyone basically agrees with the views of the Fourteenth Master, because at least in the last two years, there is really no better choice than this group of Real Madrid players, although there is no shortage of world-class stars in the Barcelona and Atletico Madrid teams, but most of the key positions are still held by foreign aid, coupled with the impact of the difference in performance, the number of selected people will naturally not have more than their mortal enemies.
However, for his friend's "love", Li Mudi is an unappreciative attitude, in a telephone exchange at the end of June, he complained to Guti, thinking that the latter has recruited so many Real Madrid players, and their bodies will not be fully recuperated, which will have a huge negative impact on the Galaxy Battleship in next season. And once there is a major injury in the national team, it is really deadly.
In the face of the complaints of the Real Madrid coach, the fourteenth master could only pat his chest and say that he would take good care of these players from his parent team and try his best not to be too tired.
Although he knew that these words were very unreliable, Li Mudi could only reluctantly accept this reality. Because Guti faced huge pressure after taking over the national team, his qualifications are a little weak in the eyes of many people, and the media and celebrities who have a negative attitude towards him have been waiting to see him suffer a defeat and immediately carry out a wave of downfall.
Even if they had previously qualified for the finals by finishing top of their group in the European Championship qualifiers, the process was hardly perfect, and if they couldn't lead the team to the semi-finals, which is widely recognized, then it was very likely that they would be swept away. So at this critical moment when he doesn't succeed and can't become a benevolent person, Guti can only rely on the support of his good friends and parent team. In this regard, Raul and Li Mudi have been psychologically prepared before, so complaining is complaining, and in the end, they can't really die without help.
Fortunately, their dedication was not in vain, and the Matadors team of many strong players played their best performance since the peak and trough in 2014 at the 18th European Championship, and gradually played out of form through three not very strong opponents in the group stage, and after entering the knockout round, they were out of control, defeating Turkey and strong rivals Belgium by two goals, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals, creating the best result in the last eight tournaments.
It was only in the crucial battle against hosts Italy that Guti's side failed to find a hole in the Azzurri defence in 120 minutes amid the frantic cheering of nearly 60,000 home fans at the San Siro, only to be attacked in the final minute of extra time by their opponents and suffered a heartbreaking defeat for all Spaniards.
Since there were no third- and fourth-place finals at the European Championship after 1984, Spain's journey in this tournament ended in Milan on July 10. In the end, with a total advantage in points (three points for a win and one point for a draw, and one point for promotion or elimination through penalty shootouts), they overwhelmed France in the other half of the final four and finished third at Euro 2028 in Italy.
Guti also relied on this impressive result to temporarily suppress the opposition from the country, sat firmly in the position of the coach of the national team, and lived up to the strong support of his friends.
However, the price paid by Real Madrid is also huge, because almost all the players who participated in the European Championship have reached the semi-finals of the national team, so they are too tired to miss the entire pre-season training camp, and even many of the subsequent warm-up games have not been included in the squad. Real Madrid's medical team has always strictly monitored the physical condition of each player in accordance with the requirements of the team manager to avoid major injuries.
With less than 20 days to go until the start of the new season, with big names such as Ryan Gravenberch, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Fernandes already suffering serious injuries at least four months in the Euros or pre-season training, Lee does not want his team to be in similar big trouble, so he is ready to lose both Super Cups in the warm-up games.
So until this year's Santiago Bernabeu Cup, he has been using a mix of first-team players who didn't have much of a summer outburst with young players who have been temporarily drawn from the reserves, which is proof that he doesn't plan to worry about pre-season results and honours anymore.
However, what no one expected was that although Real Madrid did not perform well in several warm-up matches against Genoa, Hertha Berlin, Lokomotiv Moscow and Wigan Athletic, even the process of winning was extremely difficult. However, they won back-to-back official competitions, the UEFA Super Cup and the Spanish Super Cup, and unexpectedly started the season with two trophies in the opening round.
In order to protect Mbappe and others, Li Muddy adopted a gradual time allocation for the core of their team, first playing more than 20 minutes per game as a substitute, and then increasing to more than 30 minutes until half-time, making full use of the rules that the substitution quota in the warm-up game can be decided by the two sides after negotiation, and the lineup will be changed in every game. Even against new Europa League champions Ajax and Copa del Rey runners-up Real Sociedad, he did not choose to make an exception, which indirectly led to a last-minute change before the transfer window closed.
Since Mbappe and other cores have not gotten too much playing time, some people must have been able to guess who is the thickest thigh on which Real Madrid can win those two titles, although Bruchtel's play in front of goal also plays a vital role, but if it is not for Rodrigo's state has continued to be extremely hot, relying on the rest of the young people may not be able to deal with the above two opponents.
Rodrygo was not selected for the 49th Copa America squad in Bolivia this summer due to a serious philosophical disagreement with current Brazilian national team coach Marquinhos Santos, making him one of the only remaining key members of the Real Madrid squad who can get into the normal pace of preparation.
After a number of warm-up matches, the Brazilian striker, whose technical style is almost the reincarnation of Thierry Henry, quickly raised his competitive form to a level close to the peak, and with Pellegri and Solzano both the two Indian center forwards have not yet been lifted from the time ban, he scored twice in the encounter with Ajax to help the team beat the Eredivisie powerhouse showing signs of a new round of rise 2-1. After that, he scored the winner in the match against Real Sociedad, and for a time became the hottest focus of the entire European continent.
However, it was precisely because of his outstanding performances in these two games that Zinedine Zidane, who was looking for a new striker everywhere because of Rashford's serious injury, made the decision to poach his old club, and an offer worth 147 million euros appeared on the desk of the Real Madrid director on the morning of the transfer deadline. Later, Li Mudi, who was discussing the next stage of training plan with the coaching staff, got the news, and at the same time, the phone call of Rodrygo's agent Nick Acuri also called the Real Madrid manager's mobile phone, which made the latter feel a little bad.
Sure enough, the highest-priced and most capable striker of the current Brazilian is looking to make the switch to Old Trafford, as he wants to break free from the two mountains that weigh on him – Mbappe and Pellegri – while he is in the prime of his career, and challenge for the best in the world. Even if his love for Real Madrid never fades, as one of the most talented footballers in the world today, he really doesn't want to continue to be judged as a helper or even an accessory to other teammates as he has done in the past few seasons.
As soon as this reason came up, Li Mudi knew that there was no need to say anything more, because he understood Rodrigo's thoughts very well and was willing to fulfill his dream.
So at noon on this day, the bid king of this transfer window was born without many people noticing any rumors, Manchester United paid 163 million plus 24 million euros of floating clause to bring back to the British Isles the Brazilian striker who had brought countless beautiful moments to the British Isles, and the attention of global football was drawn to Madrid and Manchester, two famous football cities.
