"The players from both sides have stepped onto the pitch! Oh, and see who our live camera is aimed at? Leon! This young man who played very well in Real Betis last season, he successfully helped Real Betis get the third place in the second division last season, which was enough for Real Betis to go straight to La Liga, and in this summer, Leon was recalled by his parent club Real Madrid to participate in the summer training camp, and he finally successfully stayed in the first team of Real Madrid, today Leon will start as a starter for Real Madrid in the first round of the new season, this is a great achievement, I wish this nineteen-year-old boy a good luck today! ”

The commentator of the Movistar sports channel in Spain is talking with a manuscript prepared in advance.

Since Real Madrid announced the starting list yesterday, Leon's information and past results have been dug up by major sports channels in the shortest possible time.

Nineteen years old, from East Asia, is still known as the football desert in East Asia.

Real Madrid's youth academy, one of the most low-key of Castique's new generation of outstanding players born in the 90s, is also one of the heroes of Real Betis's success in the first division last season.

When these factors are combined, the traffic and topic heat contained in Li Ang instantly aroused the interest of major media.

It's not that Leon is too good, but good enough to cause a big discussion among fans in Spain today.

It's that his resume is too "ordinary".

It is unbelievable that a young player of his calibre can start for Real Madrid in the opening round of the new season.

Many Barcelona fans are planning to watch Real Madrid make their season debut at the moment.

Appointing a hairy boy to partner with Alonso, or playing in an important and abnormal midfield position?

Well, these Barcelona fans have already thought of words to mock Real Madrid in advance.

On the side of Real Madrid fans, there are also different voices divided within at the moment.

Compared with the fans who support Li Ang, the majority of Real Madrid fans who are not optimistic that Li Ang can now represent Real Madrid in La Liga.

It is true that Li Ang is Real Madrid's own youth academy, but his low-key performance in the past and his excessively young age really can't reassure most Real Madrid fans.

They would rather see a more secure 'Gago + Alonso' midfield combination.

Or more extreme, let Alonso play as a single midfielder, and then put on a double central midfield combination of "Canales + Granello", and don't want to see Leon and Alonso start.

The result of the friendly match is not much to say.

And in his first two friendly matches, Li Ang's performance can only be described as "decent".

To put it mildly, Li Ang's style is calm, not brilliant but not a big problem.

To put it mildly, it's too "mediocre".

Real Madrid need talent, talent, the best young players and the best superstars.

But none of these things seem to be touchable to Leon now.

It is no wonder that although the high-minded Real Madrid fans unanimously defend Li Ang externally, there is a situation internally that most people do not want to see Li Ang start the game for Real Madrid.

At this moment, Li Ang, who was stretching on the field and waiting for the official start of the game, had no idea that he had caused a big split among Real Madrid fans.

Does he care about these public opinions?

Cares, but doesn't care so much.

It's true that Li Ang has crossed through with a hanging, but he is still a normal person, and if he is a person, he will have normal mood swings, and he will expect to be recognized by more people.

is questioned and trusted and praised, of course normal people will choose the latter, and Li Ang is no exception.

But at the same time, he also deeply understands a truth.

That is, in the world of professional football, respect is played with your own feet, not by blown.

Leon didn't expect to quickly turn around the public opinion issues he was currently experiencing in a match or two.

But at the very least, he believes he can prove it to Real Madrid fans with a game or two.

Mourinho chose to let him start with Alonso, so TM also makes sense!

August 29, 2010 at 21:00.

With the whistle of the referee on duty, the first round of the 2010-2011 La Liga season Real Madrid's away challenge to Real Mallorca officially started!

Today, Jose Mourinho lined up a four-three-three starting line-up.

It's just that unlike the four-three-three commonly used by other teams, Real Madrid's three-midfield has two midfielders, Leon and Xavi Alonso, and only Canales is a central midfielder.

Up front, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuain and Angel Di Maria all started.

At the back, Real Madrid is a bit miserable now.

The starting main central defender Pepe is injured, the third central defender Albiol is injured, and the fifth central defender Garay is also injured.

As a result, Ramos, who is considered the fourth central defender in the team, who is still playing at right-back, had to go up first.

And Ramos is only on the right side of Arbeloa.

Carvalho and Sergio Ramos were paired in two central defences, with Carvalho to the left flanked by the attacking Marcelo.

In the goalkeeper position, there is still San Cassie, who is familiar to Real Madrid fans.

Looking at this lineup, Real Madrid's current lineup has some problems, but Real Madrid's fans are not too worried about the opponent of Mallorca.

Jose Mourinho set the tactical tone for the tackle and the pace of the game from the start.

Therefore, Real Madrid's opening pressure seems to be a little "excessive".

Canales pressed directly into Mallorca's half-court mid-circle arc with the attacking trio up front, and Alonso had to move forward in order to maintain a fluid connection with Canales in order to maintain a smooth connection with Canales.

Leon, like Alonso, also preceded positions in order to maintain an overall grip on Mallorca.

But he didn't have many touches because the attacking organization didn't go from him.

Instead, he spent more time watching Mallorca's attacking style, while his selection was always positioned diagonally behind Alonso's flank.

After Alonso let go of his hands and feet to devote himself to the combing and organisational transfer of the attack, Real Madrid's offensive started quickly.

Brother Long's several long passes with a large slash were transferred, allowing Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria's speed and solo blasting advantages to be brought into full play.

Mallorca's defensive line on the flanks was squeezed again and again, coupled with Canales' playmaking and passing ability in the middle, Mallorca's midfield defense was directly penetrated by Real Madrid once in the opening fifteen minutes.

At that time, Ronaldo received Alonso's long pass and stepped forward with Higuain to launch a quick counter-attack in Mallorca's hinterland.

As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball behind the Mallorca defence after attracting the two of them, and Higuain's anti-offside forward was also beautiful.

But it was at the end of the shot that Higuain thought too much.

He tried to dribble past Mallorca's goalkeeper, but his feet slipped inexplicably, and he slid the ball a little harder, and finally the ball went out of the bottom line.

Mourinho, who was ready to celebrate on the sidelines, almost fell to his knees on the spot.

Ronaldo and Di Maria on the other side were also dumbfounded.

It's not big brother, this cake has been fed to your throat, and you can still spit it out!

It's a shame that such an opportunity was missed, and it has had some impact on the mentality of the Real Madrid players.

Mallorca, who was struggling to defend and counterattack, seized the opportunity and broke the ball in the 21st minute of the first half and also played a quick counterattack!

Alonso, who had just finished attacking in tandem, immediately turned around and chased back.

However, Canales and Di Maria pressed too much in front of them, which will be a little too late to defend, and Real Madrid's defense on the right and in the middle is seriously under-manned.

Seeing that Mallorca was about to play a very threatening counterattack, many Real Madrid fans subconsciously exclaimed in front of the TV.

But in the next second, a mediocre figure wearing the number 23 jersey happened to be stuck in Mallorca striker Enric's ball-holding advancement route!

A tough head-on confrontation, a close-fitting instant kick, destroying the right to drop the ball, and the two offensive and defensive people almost fell to the ground together!

Alonso, who was chasing back in time, chose to clear the ball directly out of the touchline, while Leon, who was wearing the number 23 shirt, also climbed up from the turf as if nothing happened.

"Well done! You kid... Well done! ”

Alonso changed his usual personable appearance, roared excitedly and slapped Leon on the back in the shoulder amid the boos of the home fans.

And Leon gritted his teeth and quickly hugged Alonso's raised slap.

His teacher's hand is too strong, he can't stand it again, so let's hug it!

Jose Mourinho and Karanka stood on the sidelines with a sigh of relief, and then applauded Leon with great satisfaction.

Di Maria, who ran back to defend the opponent's sideline ball, also patted Leon's ass gratefully.

If the ball just now had Enrich burst through, the lack of Real Madrid's defensive strength at the back would have magnified his mistake countless times.

At the same time, Di Maria also felt a burst of happiness.

"Luckily, the lion cub stopped ......"

Mallorca's sideline ball was snatched up by Arbeloa, Di Maria received the ball with his back and Alonso followed up to push the ball down the left.

Marcelo, who was plugged in, observed the situation around him and began to dribble forward, Real Madrid's new attack came, and Mallorca quickly retreated.

Leon still did not follow up, he stood behind Alonso, watching his attack start from the left this time, and subconsciously leaned into the left half.

Mallorca's defender Marty didn't give Marcelo a chance to push deep.

When full-back Ensue was entangled with Marcelo in the race, Martí suddenly blocked the passing line between Marcelo and Ronaldo in front of him, and completed the ball again.

After Marty got the ball, he didn't drag the rhythm of the counterattack, and also sent a long pass directly to his own side to successfully complete the forward forward striker Castro.

Once again, the hearts of Real Madrid fans were raised.

Castro stopped and went straight to the hinterland of Real Madrid.

This time, Alonso had prepared in advance, and was about to accelerate from the flank to close the block, but Leon, who had been behind him before, reacted one step faster.

"I'm coming!"

A loud shout sounded behind Alonso, and Brother Long didn't even have time to turn his head to look back, when he saw a figure who had decisively shoveled down appeared in his eyes!

After a short period of thought, Castro decided to give up on the option of risking injury and Leon's foot.

His control of the ball after the ball was not stable, and in the end he could only jump up helplessly, watching Li Ang shovel the football back to the midfield area with embarrassment and resentment!

"Another chance for Mallorca to counter-attack! Castro is going to get off the steam! Oh——!!! Leon!!! My God! In less than two minutes, Leon contributed two crucial defensive interceptions! Alonso hadn't even run five metres this time before Mallorca's counter-attack was over! Incredible defensive performance! The little lion from Castilla seems to be announcing to everyone that there is a reason why he was once called 'Little Clelele' by the Real Madrid Under-19 coach! ”

Movistar's commentator was very passionate about Leon's wonderful performance on the defensive end in the past two minutes.

And the phrase "little Ma Clele" also made countless Real Madrid fans in surprise and recalled the special defensive gate in the Real Madrid team ten years ago!

There is no flashy technique, no tall figure, and no handsome appearance.

But relying on one accurate interception after another and anticipatory interceptions, Makelele firmly occupied the position of the main midfielder in the luxury lineup of the Galaxy Battleship generation that year!

To this day, Real Madrid have not found a midfielder like Makelele.

And the one who joined Real Madrid for only three years brought the defensive gate of the league and the Champions League to Real Madrid.

After the precipitation test of time and years, it has shined in the hearts of countless Real Madrid fans!

Now that ten years have passed, a similar figure with a little familiarity has appeared in front of Real Madrid fans.

Is Leon and Makelele like?

At first glance it doesn't look like it.

Because Li Angzu is 1.83 meters, tall and strong, and has a sunny and handsome appearance.

And Makelle is a typical "powerful faction", with a short and lean figure and a slightly mature appearance.

Just looking at his appearance, it's really hard to associate Leon with the former Makelele.

But if you look closely, the two have too many similar technical characteristics.

The defensive selection is excellent, the interception is accurate, and it is not easy to insert the ball, and the passing is almost the same "unpretentious"!

Of course, Leon's defensive experience is far less than that of Claude Makelele when he moved to Real Madrid.

But in contrast, Leon's defensive attack seems to be more decisive and more capable of confrontation head-on.

On the whole, the current Leon looks at strength, at best, he is a "bankrupt version of Makelele".

However, his prospects seem to have more possibilities than that of Makellele.

After all, the physical fitness is here, if he grows up smoothly in the future, not to mention much, with 80% of Makelele's defensive selection and interception ability, plus first-class confrontation and air defense capabilities, what kind of defensive monster does it have to be?!

Although this is still an assumption, it does not prevent Real Madrid fans from starting to increase their support for Leon.

And Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, had his eyes shining, staring at Leon and muttering constantly.

"This kid is a game player! What's mediocre? It's a big baby! ”
