The reinforcement of the bench thickness of the first team by three rookies has delighted the entire Real Madrid coaching staff, including Jose Mourinho.

Before the start of the season, Real Madrid's squad looked large at first glance, and the bench was thick.

But Khedira didn't play a single league game and pulled his hip (really).

Granero has been slow to reinvent himself at the back and is still adapting to it, so he can't count on it for the time being.

Not to mention Altentop, Mourinho has a headache for him until now and doesn't know what to use.

Sha Xin, this unlucky guy was injured just when he was about to be promoted by Uncle Bird, and he was injured for three months.

So looking at it this way, in Real Madrid's 24-man first team squad, there are four midfielders with two injuries and two furnishings, and they are currently relying on 20 players to fight on two lines.

If it weren't for Leon being tough enough, the league and Champions League games were not falling, and his state was still above the horizontal line, Mourinho would really be sad to death.

Now three more players have been brought up from Castilla, plus Nacho before, Real Madrid's front and back fields have been strengthened.

At least for now, Mourinho doesn't have to worry about injuries in the front and back of the field, and there will be no one available.

And my face brother's return from injury before the start of the tenth round of La Liga against Villarreal made Mourinho even more relieved.

Good guy, this thing has been lying for two months, and it can finally participate in training!

However, after returning from injury, Mourinho did not dare to let Khedira go straight to the field.

So against Villarreal, Mourinho simply let him rest more, and didn't put him in the 18-man squad.

In addition, Mourinho also made some changes to the starting line-up before the game.

Among them, the biggest adjustment is naturally the back position.

Alonso, like Leon, has not been rested since the start of the new season, and he has played every game until now.

Alonso, who was born in 81, will soon turn 30 years old, and his health is good, but he is not used to like this.

In two consecutive reminders from the team doctor, Mourinho struggled again and finally made up his mind that Alonso must be rested in this round of the league.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Ang has become Real Madrid's only midfielder in this round of the league.

After all, Las Diarra can't be delayed.

If he dragged on, Ramos and Pepe would have to talk to Uncle Bird after the game to complain about his penchant for sticky balls and his air defense weaknesses.

So in the end, Mourinho directly discharged a starting midfield combination with Leon dragging behind, Granero and Las Diarra as central midfielders.

Well, it looks okay in training, after all, Ramos can play long balls in the back, and Granero in front and Di Maria can also meet the needs of advancing on both sides of the midfield.

But after all, it has not been tested by the game, and Mourinho does not know what this new midfield trio can do.

However, he is still more assured of Li Ang's ability to carry out.

"If you can't do it, let Las Diarra withdraw and play with him in a double midfield, so that at least the defense can be stabilized first."

Mourinho, who made tactical options first, is also quite stable.

And on the day of the game on October 26, when there was still an hour before the game started, Real Madrid finally released their starting list for today.

Villarreal's side was directly shaken by Mourinho's swinging tactics.

Alonso and Callejon came off the bench, Di Maria stopped playing in midfield and Las Diarra took over from Leon in the sweeping central midfield position

The current coach of the Yellow Submarines, Miguel, looked at the Real Madrid starting list in his hand and only felt that his brain was uncomfortable.

Because this starting list means that the tactical targeting they have done in the past few days has almost been in vain!

He can't change his tactics on the spot, right?

I can only watch while kicking later, and slowly make tactical fine-tuning.

Miguel had some luck and subconsciously looked at the Real Madrid players who were warming up at the Bernabeu at the moment.

To be precise, he looked directly at Leon, the only player in the Real Madrid team who could play in the midfield position.

"Perhaps, this is a point that we can take advantage of today"

An hour later, with the whistle of the referee on duty, the tenth round of La Liga between Real Madrid and Villarreal officially began.

And the La Liga commentators from various countries are also introducing the big changes in Real Madrid's lineup to their national audiences today.

"Alonso still needs to be rested, he and Leon jointly supported Real Madrid's midfield defense at the beginning of the league, but after all, the age is up, and the occasional rest can give Alonso plenty of fitness and energy to prepare for the next closer schedule."

"Yes, so we can see the scene of Li Ang playing in the back today, this is the first time in Real Madrid, it can only be said that Mu Shuai still has full confidence in Li Ang. The race is on! Zhuang radio, Zhuang radio! Dear viewers and friends, welcome to watch"

He Wei and Xu Yang teamed up again today to bring a league commentary about Real Madrid to Chinese fans.

Real Madrid's league game started late today.

In Spain, it almost opens at 9 o'clock in the evening, and in China, it is already 4 o'clock in the morning.

To be honest, it's tiring to watch a game like this.

Many younger fans can say that older fans feel really difficult.

But in the end, the fans who chose to stay up late to watch the game were no less than usual.

Today's Li Ang is firmly in the starting line at Real Madrid, not to mention, he also won every game, and there are many stars in the Real Madrid team, and domestic fans only feel that staying up late is worth it.

"Real Madrid lined up a four-three-three starting formation today.

Goalkeeper No. 1 Casillas.

In the backline, from left to right, there are No. 12 Marcelo, No. 4 Ramos, No. 3 Pepe and No. 17 Arbeloa.

In midfield, No. 10 Leon lagged behind, followed by No. 11 Granero and No. 24 Las Diarra.

The starting pairing of the forward line was Cristiano Ronaldo 7, Benzema 9 and Di Maria 22. ”

"Villarreal, on the other hand, lined up a four-four-two starting formation.

Among them, goalkeeper No. 13 Diego Lopez.

On the backline"

Xu Yang, who took over the conversation, once again introduced the numbers and names of the players on both sides.

At the Bernabeu scene at this moment, in the face of Real Madrid, which kicked off first, Villarreal didn't come up and coaxed, but routinely forced Real Madrid in the half.

Real Madrid also began to pass the ball at the back without hurrying.

It's okay to open the game and play a wave of tentative attacks, but that looks too rough, and it's not the opening tactic that Real Madrid likes to play now.

Li Ang stood in the position where Brother Long used to stand, and his heart was also full of pride.

He imitated and studied for more than a year, and also played Brother Long and Master Pi as deputies for more than a year.

Now, it's finally his turn to start and take control of the team himself!

He's got to show the players who are pressing Villarreal what it is.

Steady!

Leon looked at Villarreal striker Rossi, who was rushing straight towards him, and he didn't have much idea of getting rid of the ball himself.

After a decisive and calm return pass, Leon reached out to make a tactical gesture and let Marcelo on the left cut in directly.

He then made a quick run to the space left in front of Marcelo.

Pepe received the ball and knocked it across to Ramos, who was more capable of giving the ball.

And Ramos faced the pressure of another Villarreal striker, Marco Ruven, and also took advantage of the situation to distribute the ball to Leang, who was pulled to the side at the moment and could receive the ball safely.

Leon's footsteps have never really stopped, and in his frequent observations, he directly dribbled forward the moment he received the ball.

Almost one step to get rid of Marco Ruven's pursuit!

But Leon wasn't too sticky to the ball, shook off his pursuers and took the halfway line inside, and then split the ball towards Las Diarra, who raised his hand on the right side of midfield, with a quick short pass close to the ground.

At this moment, Las Diarra, who is standing on the weak side of Villarreal's midfield defense, is very comfortable and can continue to advance with the ball.

Mourinho, who watched Leon's opening operation, smiled, and Alonso, who was sitting on the bench, was full of satisfied praise in his eyes.

In other words, after completing a pass with the central defender and slightly shaking off the opponent's striker's pressing, he can directly use a long pass to dispatch the ball.

It's fast and convenient, and it's better to hit Villarreal by surprise.

But this does not mean that Li Ang's performance just now is dragging down the organizational rhythm.

On the contrary, Li Ang can sort out the backcourt route well while avoiding his current shortcomings, and his performance can be said to be quite outstanding.

Alonso is a midfield god, and the players in football who can compare to his playmaking skills and long passing ability can be counted in a slap.

So his performance itself is the level of the core of the top organization, and it is normal for Li Ang to be better than him.

But compared with the organizational core of the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, Li Ang is not much worse, at most losing a long pass.

Vision, short passing, range of motion, and a decent deal of ball control.

Unconsciously, Li Ang, who has been training in the top league for more than a year, has also walked such a long way on the road of transformation and growth.

So much so that Real Madrid fans who are accustomed to watching Leon sweep and intercept will feel pleasantly surprised.

It can be transformed into an interception machine to sweep the midfield to protect the core of the organization, and it can also drag itself to sort out the ball and support the organizational responsibility in the rotation lineup.

What kind of "little horse claurel" is this?

In the future, just call Leon "Little Alonso"!

And Miguel, who was still thinking about making a robbery article on Li Ang just now, will also lose his mind.

It's not easy to look at a back waist, and it's not far from ten to look at the opening performance.

In the face of the pressing of the two forwards, he is not flustered, the ball is orderly, the running range is large, and the short pass is accurate.

Yes, Miguel thinks that if Leon comes to his own team, he can directly bring Villarreal back to the top four of La Liga with Borja Valero.

With such an ability, seeing that Leon is not a person who likes to carry dangerous balls all the time, Miguel can only sigh secretly.

Villarreal failed to press at the beginning, and Real Madrid gradually controlled the initiative in the midfield under Leon's continuous interspersed responses and accurate short passes.

As it turned out, without letting Granero drag himself off to do the dirty work, he still played well.

Leon saw Las Diarra forced back by his opponent with too much dribbling for his first advance, so he passed the ball more to the left side of midfield.

Granero was given a starting start for the first time this season and did not dare to waste the same opportunities as Las Diarra.

His forward passes were well placed and his combination with Marcelo was not sluggish.

With Granero's re-combing of the attacking ball, Real Madrid's attack on the left flank started quite quickly.

After all, it is the wing combination of Marcelo and Ronaldo, if you attack with all your strength and have the ball guaranteed, it is not a problem to penetrate all the way!

In the past, Marcelo was always criticized by the media for defensive problems, and today there is Li Ang, a more mobile midfielder, to help him settle down to make up for the defense, and it is no longer a hidden danger in Real Madrid's defense.

"Li Ang's organizational combing can't find a problem! It's so stable!

I don't know if the audience still remembers, just over a year ago, when Leon was promoted to the first team of Real Madrid by Mourinho, his nickname was still 'Little Pony Clele'.

At that meeting, the Western media only praised him for his defensive talent, and Li Ang, who would be at that meeting, had nothing to do with the organization of midfielders.

But I don't think after today's game, there will be no more media saying that Leon is just a defensive engineer! ”

"Haha, or rather, Leon is still a defensive engineer, but a defensive engineer who can be transformed into a defender at any time!

This is the same as Alonso's characteristics who are currently sitting on the bench, he can defend and attack, and Leon can rise the ball so fast, Alonso has a lot of credit! ”

He Wei and Xu Yang cooperated with you, and I praised Li Ang again.

This growth talent is really not to be boasted of, except for Leon, there is no second young midfielder in today's football who can change so much in one year.

As soon as they debuted, they could basically see whether they had talent in attack and organization, and how talented they were.

In the special case of Li Ang, his debut was a pure defensive back, and he came out with a whole body of organizational skills after a year by learning and practicing!

It's no wonder that the current Milan fans still miss Leon.

After all, it was only after Leon arrived in Milan last season that his organizational skills began to grow by leaps and bounds.

Fans of any team are reluctant to let such a young midfielder with visible growth talent leave the team.

"The attack on the left side this time was not through, first pass back, Ronaldo's choice is no problem, stabilize the ball first, eh, Leon is rare to insert, he is raising his hand to ask for the ball!"

"Leon is asking for the ball, look at his choice this time!"

After He Wei praised Li Ang, he put his energy into the game again, Xu Yang would be speechless, basically He Wei said a stand-up comedy.

But seeing that Li Ang plugged in, the two of them became excited together, and Xu Yang quickly recovered from the power-off state!

Granero received Ronaldo's return pass, and he heard Leon's shout in his ears, and he didn't hesitate to give a slight cross back.

Li Ang looked at the football rolling towards him, did not directly lead the ball and continued to cut forward, but took a deep breath, and after stopping the ball, he sent a long diagonal pass to the right side!

Because he saw the gaps in Villarreal's defence when he stepped forward.

They have hoarded too much defending force on their right side, on the left side of Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo still puts too much defensive pressure on Villarreal's defenders.

With the entire defence tilted to the right, there was plenty of space to exploit on the left side of their half.

Leon's long passing ability has not yet reached the average of a La Liga midfield playmaker, but the passing line is far exceeded.

The fact that he can't send a perfect and accurate big arc long pass doesn't mean that Li Ang can't send enough qualified long passes in advance.

At least now that he sees the gaps in the opponent's defense and believes in Di Maria's personal ability, Leon dares to try!

This long biography has a very Alonso style flavor, flat and fast, which can also show who is the main object of imitation when Li Anga practices long passes after returning to Real Madrid.

Di Maria's start was as fast as ever, and he was pleasantly surprised by the long ball that Leon tacitly delivered.

Well, it's just that this surprise is a little bit bigger, but this point is still acceptable to Di Maria in advance.

It's better than the two times before when he was speechless and watched Las Diarra lose the ball by himself!

When there was an opportunity, Di Maria did not dislike it, and ran wildly on the right side of the game, and finally chased after the football before it was about to go out of the bottom line.

The home side of the Bernabeu let out a burst of exclamation, and the Villarreal defenders, who were caught off guard by the sudden change, also rushed to surround Di Maria.

The Angels didn't show any fear, and one-on-one smashed the ball near the baseline to change direction past Submarine defender Rodriguez.

After bursting into the penalty area, Di Maria was about to shoot straight at goal, which attracted Zapata and Musacchio's defenders to fly over to intercept.

But he changed his shot to a pass in the next moment, and passed the ball directly to the back of Villarreal's goal with a light and chic pass!

Benzema, who was covering in the middle, would help Ronaldo block defender Zapata, who wanted to turn his head back to defense.

So after Ronaldo adjusted his pace, he jumped very easily and beat Villarreal's fullback Katara, who was only 1.76 meters!

Don't talk about martial arts and misplaced bullies?

Wrong, Ronaldo is also a winger, winger versus wingback, is this unreasonable? It makes sense!

Katara, who looked confused, hadn't fully jumped yet, and looked at Ronaldo, whose starting height almost pressed him by almost half a meter, and his brain went down directly!

Diego Lopez also wanted to be a hero and save Cristiano Ronaldo's close-range strike.

But the ball is as fast as a TM cannonball!

If you have to describe it, this ball is like a dunk, it's not a head-to-head attack, it's a "header slam shot"!

Lopez waved his hand in vain, but in the end nothing was touched, and the ball had already brought a white net flower in the goal behind him!

The Bernabeu cheered passionately for this beautiful attacking combination!

In the screams and shouts of the audience, Li Ang also let go of his hanging heart, grinned and ran to the front, joining his teammates in celebrating.

The live camera was aimed at him again at the right time.

As if to remind everyone:

From "Klele Malele Jr" to "Alonso Jr."

This boy, it only took a year!
