Xavi Alonso asked again with some uncertainty, and after receiving Leon's affirmative answer, Alonso was also interested.

He and Leon were not familiar.

Having played in the World Cup this summer and won it with Spain, he and the likes of Casillas and Sergio Ramos have been given more time off.

As a result, the Spanish internationals did not participate in the pre-season training camp organised by Jose Mourinho in mid-July.

However, he has also watched the two friendlies that Real Madrid have played in the United States before.

Leon's combination with Gago in the second friendly made him shine.

Despite his young age, Leon's performance on the field was very calm.

It may not be enough to say that he is excellent, but the stability that is far beyond the age of nineteen is enough to give Alonso a good impression of Leon.

"Is there a reason? If it's convenient to talk about it, because as far as I know, you've been playing as a defensive midfielder since you joined Real Madrid's youth team, so I can actually share a little bit more about your experience at the back if you need to, and I think it might help you in your career. ”

Alonso pondered his words, trying to persuade Leon to put more effort into his defensive skills.

Because the job of organizing a team is really not something that young midfielders can master and use with hard work.

It's the same mysterious thing as a striker's sense of smell in front of goal.

First of all, you have to have the talent in this area, and secondly, you have to find the right direction of training, so that your growth can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Leon has played as a defensive midfielder in the youth team for so many years, which is very telling.

Leon doesn't have a talent for organising the team, and if anything, the coaches of Real Madrid's youth squad are not blind or stupid.

It is clearly in Real Madrid's interest to develop a calm and calm playmaker than to develop a purely defensive midfielder.

To put it mildly, even if you can't use it at home, it will be more valuable to sell an organizational core if you sell it in the future.

"Huh? If you have any questions about defense, can you ask us for advice? Thank you so much! I want to take every opportunity to learn as much as I can, even if I don't get much in the end, but at least I've tried hard, and it's not convenient for you..."

Alonso looked at Leon, who was very sincere in explaining his reasons in front of him, and at the same time knew how to "fight snakes on sticks", and suddenly felt that he shouldn't have talked about the topic of sharing defensive experience just now......

However, after a moment of silence, Alonso gradually loosened his brow, and then patted Leon on the shoulder heavily.

"After the training session is over, let's practice passing with me first, well, today can be considered the first day."

With that, Alonso motioned for Leon to go to another training ground with him.

And Leon, who reacted quickly, was also very excited and thanked him, and then followed Alonso to carry the simple equipment needed for practice with a well-behaved face.

Nacho, who was still waiting to complete the extra training with Leon, was dumbfounded, and the rest of the Real Madrid players were also a little surprised.

Alonso gets along well with all the players in the squad on a regular basis and is very close together on the training ground and on the pitch.

But as soon as his usual training sessions are over, Alonso almost always goes straight home after training alone or physiotherapy.

In other words, Brother Long is very dedicated and gets along well with everyone, but in private, he and the Real Madrid players are not so much good buddies and good friends, but good colleagues who respect each other.

Leon, this kid, the relationship with Ronaldo and Benzema quickly became closer a few days ago, not to mention, today he even asked Alonso to agree to train with him?

What's going on?!

Is it true that being handsome can be invincible in the development of social relationships?

Many average-looking Real Madrid stars fell into deep thought.

And on the small training ground on the other side, Li Ang can't wait to prostitute for nothing... Ah no!

I wanted to ask Alonso for some organizational insights that I couldn't figure out.

And after being asked a lot of questions by Leon, Alonso really believed in Leon's determination to learn.

This kid is not kidding, he really wants to slowly learn how to organize a team!

When Alonso used his own way and experience to answer Leon's question, he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart when he looked at the other party's young but serious and thoughtful face.

Like, Li Ang is too similar to himself at the age of nineteen!

Firm in purpose, ambitious, and calm far beyond his peers.

In addition to the different talents, Leon can be said to be a copy of another nineteen-year-old Alonso.

This may be one of the reasons why Alonso finally agreed to train with him just now.

He admired Leon's firmness and seriousness.

Because he used to be like this, at the age of 19, he took the initiative and found the manager to firmly state that he wanted to take on the responsibility of helping the team to relegation.

Because of this courageous determination, he finally got off to a good start in his career.

And now seeing Li Ang, who also needs the initiative and recognition, he really can't think of expressing his refusal.

However, now Leon's serious questioning and down-to-earth practice can be regarded as putting Alonso at ease.

Motivated, able to endure hardships and practice, and his brain is still alive.

Alonso suddenly felt that Leon did not necessarily have any hope of making a breakthrough in organising the attack.

Perhaps the time it will take for this breakthrough will be long.

But if Li Ang can maintain his current learning attitude, he will not slack off and accumulate experience correctly.

Sooner or later, he believed that Leon would bring him a "small surprise".

One wants to learn, the other is willing to teach, and is also qualified and interested in teaching.

As a result, the "strange master and apprentice" of Leon and Xavi Alonso quickly became the focus of heated discussions at the Valdebebas training base in the next two days.

Of course, the gradual tightening of the relationship with Alonso has not brought much improvement to Leon's tactical position in the team.

Mourinho's most recent practice is the formation and tactics of Khedira and Alonso.

The only difference is that in 4231, Xavi Alonso will partner Khedira in a back two, while in 433, Khedira will move on the right side of midfield, and Alonso will be positioned a little further back.

Mourinho clearly has high hopes for Khedira.

Perhaps he wants the tall midfielder who looks pretty good on the "hardware" to be like his former favorite Essien.

Protect the core of the team's playmaking with diligent sweeping and tough defense.

At Real Madrid, that core is naturally Xavi Alonso.

But in the Beckenbauer Cup match on August 14.

Khedira, who made his debut for Real Madrid and made his start, did not play as Mourinho expected.

The German midfielder's ability to fight can only be described as acceptable, far less tough than his stature seems.

A sweep is a sweep, and the coverage is indeed a cover, but Khedira's defensive efficiency is mediocre.

And what's even more bizarre is.

It is the opposite of Mourinho's expectation that Khedira can "wipe his ass" for Alonso.

Alonso instead became the one who had to distract himself from "wiping his ass" for Khedira during the game!

Because Khedira's desire to go forward is too strong!

His active involvement in the frontcourt attack has indeed made Real Madrid's offensive operation smoother to a certain extent.

But he can't come back after he plugs in.

After Xavi Alonso organized the attack, he had to help Khedira wipe his ass to defend and intercept, and it was outrageous to do the work of two people by himself.

This is actually okay, after all, Khedira played like this in the Bundesliga before, and Mourinho is still confident that he can successfully transform Khedira into an iron-blooded midfielder.

But just two hours after playing the Beckenbauer Cup match against Bayern, Khedira felt discomfort in his calf and rushed to the team doctor for a check-up.

Jose Mourinho was anxiously waiting to get the news that Khedira needed to rest for at least two weeks.

At that moment, Mourinho really scolded his mother directly!

The pre-season has not yet been played, and the three central defenders of Pepe, Garay, and Albiol are all injured.

Las Diarra had to recuperate for two months from an injury, and now Khedira is also injured and has to rest for two weeks, and will miss almost all the remaining friendlies and the first round of La Liga!

Real Madrid's luck this month has really been unlucky.

There was a large number of injuries at the defensive end, and the central defenders became the hardest hit area, and now the defensive midfield is also short of people.

So in desperation, Mourinho could only take Li Ang, who has stronger defensive ability than Gago, to temporarily top it first.

In two friendly matches in a row, Leon got the opportunity to start, and formed a "master-apprentice double midfield" with Xavi Alonso.

The effect, the anxious Real Madrid fans really can't see how good it is, but at least it is stable.

Many reporters praised Alonso for taking on the burden of Real Madrid's midfield at this time, and organizing the defense to grasp it, which is really hard.

And Li Ang took on the responsibility of frontal interception by Alonso's side, helping Alonso to contain the opponent again and again, and the credit for the top defense was naturally diluted by the media.

However, even if Leon is "mediocre".

He started two friendlies in a row and played almost the full game.

This kind of treatment made him quickly attract the attention of many fans in Spanish football.

Because almost everyone understands Mourinho's explicitness.

He is likely to really use this Oriental kid to start at the top of Real Madrid!
