"If three or four years ago someone had said that Xavi Alonso and Essien would have been teammates, I think a lot of the fans – not just the Premier League fans – would have been able to imagine this on the pitch today, but today we saw it!

Old rivals in the Premier League, two of the best midfielders in world football, are now reliable partners.

And to be able to see Leon starting with these two midfielders, I am happy at the moment, just like I felt when I saw Leon play with Pirlo and Gattuso before! ”

He Wei suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and explained with emotion.

Today he is a person commenting on the Copa del Rey game, if Xu Yang will partner with him, then he will definitely have to marvel again.

Many Chinese fans also feel incredible.

Fans who used to like to watch the Premier League know how fierce the battle between Chelsea and Liverpool was in the Premier League and Champions League in those years.

Seeing Essien and Alonso both dressed in white fighting for Real Madrid, these old Premier League fans can only sigh in addition to feeling magic:

In football, you can never say "impossible"!

"It's a pity that Gerrard still refuses to leave Liverpool, it's a pity..."

Mourinho looked at the midfield combination he had built, feeling complacent and regretting that he had not hooked up with Gerrard again.

When he was still at Chelsea, he had played Gerrard's idea.

Later, when he went to Inter, he invited Gerrard.

Now he is once again trying to pry into the corner of Liverpool and bring Steven Gerrard to the Bernabeu.

Just imagine if Gerrard was the midfielder in his current squad, how perfect would it be?

However, Liverpool's team spirit once again turned down his offer in the transfer window.

Gerrard made the most heroic decision, preferring to do his best to drag Liverpool from sinking rather than abandon his beloved team and leave Madrid.

Mourinho was helpless and regrettable, but in the end, he could only send his heartfelt wishes to Gerrard.

Thinking of this, and looking at Khedira, who played as a central defender today, Mourinho's satisfaction suddenly decreased a lot.

But there is no way, who made him ask for Khedira by name, and firmly believe that he can definitely transform it into a super beast waist?

The midfielder I wanted at the beginning has already kicked out one of them, and the remaining one has to be used with tears.

Let's make do with this season......

Mourinho was retracting his divergent thoughts when the referee's whistle sounded on time.

"The race is on! Zhuangdianertai, Zhuangdianertai"

He Wei quickly read the opening remarks, and then introduced the starting formation of the two teams to the domestic audience.

There is nothing to say about Real Madrid, and domestic fans who have watched Real Madrid's games for half a season now almost all know which players Mourinho likes to use.

Marcelo started at left-back as he was injured but now that Coentrão is back from injury, Jose Mourinho has given him a chance to start in the Copa del Rey tie.

Compared to Marcelo, who has a strong desire to attack and often inserts forward, Mourinho still prefers Coentrão, who has a good defense.

The combination of Ramos and Pepe settled down early in the season.

Now, as long as these two are not injured and their state does not slip, they are basically the iron starting partners of the central defenders.

There's not much to say at right-back, it's still Arbeloa.

With two strikers, Mourinho will basically only choose Benzema to partner Cristiano Ronaldo, and the same is true today.

After all, compared to Higuain, Benzema's ability to pull the side and make the ball is stronger, and it can increase Ronaldo's finishing power in counterattacks.

If you look at it last season, Mourinho's love and trust in Higuain is greater than Benzema's.

Before Higuain was not injured, Benzema could not shake Higuain's starting position at all.

But this season, when Ronaldo broke out and his goal statistics skyrocketed, the situation was completely different.

It can only be said that the green leaves of Guo Feng should be better.

Athletic Bilbao also lined up a set of 442 starting lineups.

Twin strikers Llorente plus Susaeta.

The midfield combination is also quite tough, with Javi Martinez, Muniain, Ituras Pergaherra.

The backline of Ottneche, Demarcos, Amorebieta and Ilora helped Athletic Bilbao concede just 20 goals in the first 18 league games.

That's a pretty good defensive level for a mid-table team.

The goalkeeper is Iles, who has a lot of experience in the game.

Athletic Bilbao's starting line-up is fully in line with their positioning as a mid-table player in La Liga.

The two forwards are a classic combination of one high and one fast, and the main output Llorente has played a total of "40+10" in the past two seasons.

In terms of offensive firepower, Athletic Bilbao is not very strong, but it has a stable output point and can always stand up at critical moments.

The defence is good, but not to the point where Real Madrid need more attention, mainly in their midfield.

Javi Martinez is so fragrant!

The midfield interception duo of him and Iturraspe is probably second only to Alonso and Leon in La Liga.

Now I don't know how many big teams in La Liga are playing Martinez's idea, but unfortunately Athletic Bilbao is not for sale.

That's not shouting slogans to increase the price, people Athletic Bilbao really don't want to sell!

Mourinho had actually found a channel to talk to Martinez before approaching Essien.

Xavi Martinez is not resistant to coming to Real Madrid, but he needs Real Madrid to negotiate with his parent team first.

As a result, as soon as Real Madrid contacted Athletic Bilbao at that time, they were directly closed.

The top brass of Athletic Bilbao bluntly said that Martinez and Llorente are not for sale, real not for sale.

Even if Real Madrid bid 30 million euros some time ago, Athletic Bilbao was unmoved.

You know, this is in the winter window transfer period, and Real Madrid's willingness to pay a transfer fee of 30 million euros is quite sincere.

It's a pity that Athletic Bilbao is not in the mix, and Martinez is not willing to fall out with his parent team.

Mourinho had no choice but to let go in the end.

He just prioritizes Martinez, but it would be unrealistic for him to pay 40 million euros to trigger Martinez's contract termination clause and bring him to the Bernabeu.

So Mourinho turned to Villas-Boas and Abou to talk about the loan of Essien.

Unbeknownst to the Real Madrid players, the opposition midfielder had almost become their new team-mate.

Leon even had a head-to-head confrontation with Martinez shortly after the opening.

Well, fighting for the ball in the air, Leon didn't top it this time, and Martinez is still a lot taller than him in terms of size.

However, Leon did not back down after feeling Martinez's strong confrontation ability.

On the contrary, he has long been mentally prepared, after all, he is the person in the world who knows the upper limit of Martinez's level at the moment.

Before the game, Uncle Bird asked him to insert more balls for Ronaldo today.

to make up for the slight attacking threat lost on the left flank after Coentrão started.

So he took the initiative to seek confrontation when he came up, in order to get to the bottom first.

With the score in mind, he decisively took another way to deal with Martinez.

"Go on the wings, fight for speed, you can't play on the front, how can I get in touch with Ronaldo if I waste too much time with him in the front."

After receiving the ball from Brother Long again, Li Ang did not rush forward immediately.

He dribbled horizontally and beckoned Khedira to drop back to give him a response.

Looking at the figure of Brother Face, who knew how to run over, Li Ang began to cut forward with the ball.

Approaching Martinez, who was pressing up, Leon quickly knocked the ball to his face brother in front of him, and then he accelerated with all his strength to overtake on the outside!

Martinez's physical agility is actually top-notch for a player of his size.

But his turn was inevitably slow.

Khedira gave a good amount of diagonal ball in advance, helping Leon get rid of Martinez's entanglement in an instant.

Ituraspe swooped down on Leon from his trailing position, but he was completely out of the air.

Because Leon passed the ball.

As soon as he got rid of Martinez, Leon saw an opportunity to send a straight ball behind Athletic Bilbao's wide defence!

That's what he's going to do.

And between his series of free passes, Athletic Bilbao's midfield interception did not work at all.

Many commentators praised Leon for playing smartly at this moment.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not delay after receiving the through ball sent by Leon, and quickly adjusted his pace to send a flat cross to the Athletic Bilbao penalty area.

It's a pity that Benzema didn't fight his opponent today in the battle for the top.

Athletic Bilbao's central defender Amorebieta taught the pot forward a good lesson with a big figure of 1.92 meters.

However, Real Madrid quickly adjusted the follow-up attacking mode through several offensive attempts in the opening game.

Athletic Bilbao each have a header on their central axis, not as many as Real Madrid, but not at all in terms of quality.

Ramos stepped up his entanglement with Llorente on the ground, denying him space to jump comfortably and fight for the top.

Real Madrid also played more ground attacks in midfield, minimising the number of long passes.

Brother Long concentrated on organizing and combing the ball in the midfield and backfield.

Essien assisted him in the transfer of possession while setting up the first interception line near the centre circle.

Leon and Khedira took on the task of bridging the midfield.

Khedira cut forward more often and sometimes had to cover the right to pick up Benzema.

Leon's task is a little more direct, which is to find a way to get the ball to his feet around Ronaldo.

In other words, with Essien as defensive protection for Brother Long today, Leon has become Ronaldo's queen hitman and passer.

And Mourinho's position of Leon has been put on the premise, which has correspondingly avoided his current shortcomings of slightly weaker long-pass ability.

Running a lot, returning to defend quickly, the ability to take the ball forward and plug it straight forward is enough, and he can always use his precise positioning to intercept Athletic Bilbao's counterattack on this side at the first time.

After Leon's "small all-round" attribute was revealed, Athletic Bilbao almost paralyzed half of the midfield organization.

And Leon also gave Ronaldo a good ball support, Ronaldo can always get a lot of opportunities to get the ball on this side, and the defensive pressure on Athletic Bilbao is also greater.

"Mourinho has put Leon to use! In the past, we said that Li Ang's forward pressure was a front midfielder, and the biggest role was to freeze the opponent's organizational core, but now it seems that Li Ang has developed a lot of practical skills on the offensive end! ”

He Wei watched Li Ang's performance on the court getting better and better, and his tone became more and more brisk.

However, the better Leon's performance and more prominent role will be, the more uncomfortable Athletic Bilbao's players and manager Bielsa will feel.

Originally, according to their pre-match tactics, Real Madrid should continue their recent good form at the Bernabeu and play aggressively.

And their four midfielders happen to be very strong in interception, and they can rely on Llorente's fulcrum ability to play Real Madrid's counterattack.

Another is the way Alonso looks for attacking players with long passes from the back, other La Liga teams are afraid, and they are not afraid of Athletic Bilbao.

With Martinez and Amorebieta in midfield, Real Madrid can't grab a little bit, so this counter-attacking method is not a threat.

As a result, it is only now that Bielsa can be regarded as clear.

The tactical targets he thought of before the game, Mourinho also thought of them all!

And Mourinho also developed a new offensive and defensive tactics in reverse.

After getting through the opening phase of the trial, Real Madrid tried their best to limit Llorente's ability to compete for the top, and the way they organized their attacks was basically on the ground.

Don't look at Real Madrid's play of two strikers today, it seems that there are not as many opportunities as three strikers.

But Real Madrid's two strikers are all stars with strong individual ability, and one of them is even in great form, and has scored more than 20 goals in the league so far!

Against such a giant striker, you'd better not give him the slightest chance for the whole game and stare him to death from beginning to end.

But Bielsa knows that the team that can do this will not be Athletic Bilbao.

If they could have such a strong backline, they would not be ranked seventh in La Liga now, they should be in the top four of La Liga!

So Bielsa began to feel apprehensive.

Because he doesn't know at what point Ronaldo will break out.

Jose Mourinho is also waiting, waiting for Leon, waiting for Khedira to create a chance through frequent forward passes.

It can give Ronaldo a comfortable chance to face the Athletic Bilbao backline.

What he didn't expect, though, was that the chances didn't come from a direct pass from Leon or Khedira.

It's on the side!

In the twenty-seventh minute of the first half, Essien suddenly began to actively intervene in a slightly anxious midfield tug-of-war.

Seeing that Athletic Bilbao's midfield defense was a little chaotic, Li Ang, who was holding the ball, quickly held the ball and moved closer to Essien who was inserting in the middle.

But just as almost all of Athletic Bilbao's midfielders were focusing their defensive attention on Leon and Essien.

Li Ang quickly passed the ball back to the left side of the midfield, which was a little empty at the moment!

Coentrão, who had not been plugged in many times before, was quite resolute this time.

After receiving the ball from Leon, he rushed straight to the right side of the defense area guarded by Iraora.

Ronaldo first ran on the side, but after seeing that Coentrão didn't mean to pass the ball to him, he immediately understood what his fellow countryman meant.

With a deliberate pause, Ronaldo waited for Coentrão to run past him before turning inside.

Elora would be helpless as Coentrão kept approaching and retreated, waiting for her teammates to chase back.

Seeing Ronaldo's sudden inward run, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

But before he could shout a word to remind his teammates in the middle of the road, Coentrão's ball had already been given!

Cristiano Ronaldo led the ball and cut in laterally, Amorebita shrunk into the box and stared at Benzema, and De Marcos quickly pressed forward to interfere with Ronaldo's defense.

"Here, Chris!"

Just as Ronaldo was about to take off De Marcos alone, a familiar shout from his side reminded him that he still had the support of his teammates.

Ronaldo did not hesitate, and after quickly knocking the ball back with the outside instep, his body swept past De Marcos as quickly as a cheetah, and he stepped forward decisively!

And the figure who shouted at him just now didn't stop the ball and pushed a straight plug straight forward that was close to the turf!

The passing and running cooperation between the two is extremely tacit, and it can be described as seamless!

After Ronaldo entered the penalty area of Athletic Bilbao, he simply hit a push shot in the face of this straight stopper!

Goalkeeper Ilesos slowed down in his haste, and the ball had already grazed the post in the near corner and drilled into the net, and his save on the ground was too late!

Ronaldo laughed happily and heartily, turning around and spreading his arms as he erupted in enthusiastic cheers at the Bernabeu.

And a handsome big boy also smiled and hugged him.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Leon?

From the offensive to the lethal stopper, Leon's handling was almost impeccable.

Without the beautiful and superb passing skills, Leon's way of organizing is to reasonably plan the most suitable offensive line.

Including the last straight stopper, sharp and suitable, which can make Ronaldo very comfortable to shoot directly with his feet.

Many old La Liga fans who watched this game were also in a trance at this moment.

Because the style is so familiar to them!

They couldn't see it when Leon was organizing in the backfield before.

But now that Li Ang is in the position of attacking organization, the figure of the former midfield master immediately appeared in the minds of their old fans!

Belleron!

The same pursuit of the rationality of the offensive organization line, the simple and solid passing style, and the sharp short pass through the plug

"Could it be that Leon went to A Coruña before, as the media promoted, to go to Belleron to learn and communicate?"

Many old La Liga fans have such an idea close to the truth.

It's just that neither they nor the media reporters who reported on this matter before could have imagined that Leon's study of Belleron had started much earlier.

In the hustle and bustle of the stadium, Leon and Ronaldo crossed their shoulders and celebrated the goal with the rest of their teammates.

Mourinho also laughed and hugged Karanka off the pitch.

Essien's performance in the almost half-hour exceeded their pre-match expectations.

The range of coverage runs is not as large as before, but the defensive protection for Alonso is still quite in place, and the passing and receiving are not delayed, at least when it comes to Alonso, it is better than Las Diarra.

And with Essien's sweeping protection, the effect of Leon's position was quickly revealed.

On the other hand, if Leon drags back to play in the midfield, Essien, who has recovered his form, can also be responsible for advancing forward and connecting with the front midfield.

Well, when the two of them run in to the point where they can take turns to plug in and tacitly fill each other's positions, Khedira will be able to sit on the bench with peace of mind~

The Real Madrid players, who had finished their celebrations, trotted back to their own half.

Mourinho decisively made tactical adjustments, and Real Madrid's formation was directly changed to 451.

Leon retreated and formed a double midfield with Brother Long again, Cristiano Ronaldo withdrew to the full-back position, Essien was in the middle of the midfield, Khedira went to the right midfield, and Benzema burst forward alone.

The players of Athletic Bilbao watched Real Madrid's midfield instantly full of people, and the mood that became depressed because of falling behind was instantly worse.

After taking the lead, he also strengthened the thickness of the midfield to play anti-counterattack, no, don't you want to be so stubborn!

Bielsa had already anticipated Mourinho's tactical adjustments, and he could only smile helplessly.

However, Bielsa is Bielsa in the end, and he is not restrained by the tactical dilemma of being targeted.

Athletic Bilbao's players were also in high spirits after Bielsa's tactical gesture.

They want to take the initiative to attack Real Madrid at the Bernabeu!

The Basque Lions can be defeated, but they will never bow down to their enemies!

Real Madrid's players quickly felt the determination of their opponents as they restarted the game.

And the best way to respect your opponent is to give it your all.

Athletic Bilbao's midfield was not easy to penetrate, and Real Madrid began to frequently play on the wings and ribs, using their technical advantages to penetrate and advance in the counterattack.

However, in the first half, the subsequent goal luck of both teams was a little worse, and Real Madrid also entered the break with a one-goal lead.

At the beginning of the second half, Mourinho replaced Khedira with Di Maria, and Real Madrid also changed the attacking mode to fly on both wings.

Athletic Bilbao finally can't hold it anymore.

In less than ten minutes of the second half, Ottneche was almost one-on-one by the energetic Di Maria!

Real Madrid broke through the penalty and forced Athletic Bilbao to move their defensive forces to the left side of the formation.

As a result, Ronaldo, who had been targeted on their right side, suddenly became active as if he had broken through the shackles.

This is really going to kill Athletic Bilbao.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, after Ronaldo received Benzema's return ball and scored again with an unreasonable volley outside the penalty area, there was basically no suspense in this game.

Real Madrid ended up beating Athletic Bilbao 3-0 at home, without giving their opponents an away goal, and almost half a foot in the final four of this season's Copa del Rey.

On the other hand, Barcelona, which is rapidly recovering in form, also defeated Mallorca 5-1 in the first round, and the second leg was much easier than Real Madrid.

Because the two teams were in different halves when the Copa del Rey round of 32 was drawn this year, there was no need to worry about meeting before the final.

If nothing else, this year's Copa del Rey final will be the same as last season, a big battle between the two teams.

However, La Liga fans are gradually getting used to it.

In the past two seasons, the combat effectiveness of the two teams has increased more and more outrageously.

In La Liga and the Copa del Rey it was quite easy to play other teams.

It is almost impossible to expect the Spaniards and Valencia to beat Real Sa over two legs.

Besides, the Spanish national derby is so good, fans wish that Real Madrid and Barcelona would collide again as many times as last year, and the more games they played, the better.

It's good that the Copa del Rey final is a national derby, as long as the two teams play a little bit more aggressively and don't draw for 90 minutes like last season.

After this round of Copa del Rey matches is over, the La Liga battle has once again kicked off.

Due to the breakdown of labor negotiations at the beginning of the season, the first round of La Liga was postponed and delayed until this meeting to complete the make-up match.

Correspondingly, the time taken up by the make-up matches of the first round of the league, and the 20th round of La Liga can only be postponed until May.

However, this is barely good news for Real Madrid.

Because the first and twentieth rounds of the league happened to be played against Athletic Bilbao.

If the 20th round of the league is followed by the first round of replays, they will likely have to play four games against Athletic Bilbao in less than 10 days!

Two league games, two Copa del Rey games, both teams have to take off a layer of skin after this is played.

Now, the situation is a little bit better, and it's better to meet three games in a row in a short period of time than to meet four.

On January 22, after more than three days of rest after playing the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid once again welcomed Athletic Bilbao at the Bernabeu.

Mourinho and Bielsa both smiled helplessly before the game and hugged and greeted each other for a while.

And in the game of the day, Athletic Bilbao also brought a lot of "surprises" to Real Madrid.

Bielsa learned the lessons of the defeat in the last round of the Copa del Rey competition, and this league directly lined up a bold starting formation of 352.

Mourinho really didn't expect Bielsa to play this set, and Uncle Bird, who always liked to play tactical traps against others in the past, was also planted in the ditch today.

Real Madrid was directly pressed back to their own half by Athletic Bilbao using the advantage of midfielders because of the four-three-three offensive formation at the beginning and the lack of midfielders.

Athletic Bilbao took advantage of the situation to play high, taking advantage of the two highs of Martinez and Llorente to break through from the wings and send crosses.

Real Madrid's players on the field were also stunned by this simple and crude offensive tactics for a while.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Llorente used his attacking threat to attract the attention of Real Madrid's two central defenders.

Martinez seized the opportunity to head in from a team-mate's cross.

Susaeta, who was almost locked by Alonso in the last round of the Copa del Rey game, and the second striker who did nothing throughout the game, calmly stopped the ball at the moment and pushed it into the far corner.

Casillas's vision was blocked by his own players again, and when he saw the ball rolling towards the far corner of the goal, it was too late to react to the save!

The players of Athletic Bilbao went crazy the moment they saw the football hit the net!

Their fans did the same, celebrating wildly at the Bernabeu!

None of the commentators expected this to happen, and the Real Madrid fans couldn't believe it.

They were beaten by an opponent in the opening stages and lost the goal?

Casillas shook his head helplessly, he couldn't blame himself or his teammates for this ball.

Pepe and Sergio Ramos both worked together in their respective positions, limiting the most dangerous Llorente and keeping Martinez out of the box with a header.

But who knew that a Susaeta would step up and score a goal without mercy at this time?

Leon didn't have time to shout to remind his teammates to cheer up, and he looked to the sidelines for the first time.

Mourinho shook his head at him and quietly made a tactical gesture to continue the attack.

Leon was a little puzzled at first, but when the game restarted, he saw that Athletic Bilbao was still going to play against Real Madrid and not retreat, he understood:

Bielsa's game should be a big fight against Real Madrid with his tactical philosophy.

In the last round of the Copa del Rey he started to want to defend, but in the end he didn't hold anything, so he didn't want to keep this round of the league anymore.

Mourinho should have seen Bielsa's tactical intentions, so he just made a gesture to himself not to mess up and continue to attack.

After all, Athletic Bilbao played a three-center-back system today, and the midfield had a numerical advantage, but once Real Madrid broke through the midline defense, the defense was wide open.

Jose Mourinho is confident that he can suppress Athletic Bilbao in the follow-up attack, and Leon has no doubts when he sees this.

Alonso was also quick to understand Mourinho's intentions and quickly combed his attacking line after the restart, providing a steady stream of ball control for his team-mates on both wings.

Leon began to plug in frequently, and Granero, who started today, was also pressed on the halfway line.

With their forward press support, Real Madrid's counter-push offensive quickly played a good effect.

However, the Athletic Bilbao players were very active today.

Their midfield five looked like they were playing the all-out attacking and all-defensive game, pressing forward together when they had the chances, and being quite aggressive in dropping back and pressing after being broken.

Higuain, who started the game, did not retreat in this situation, pulled out of the penalty area, and helped the wingers on both wings to share the offensive pressure with the ball.

Instead, he was very resolutely nailed in the big penalty area of Athletic Bilbao, as if he wanted to use his ability to grab points to help Real Madrid score an early equalizer.

Unfortunately, he nailed it for almost twenty minutes, and he didn't see a few decent shots on goal.

DeMarcos is too good for his ground-and-ground marking.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria play high, in front of the 1.92-meter Amorebieta, Higuain does not have much room to play.

The rhythm of the attack was still not chaotic, and Real Madrid also got a lot of chances in the half of Athletic Bilbao, but in the important link of the finishing end, Real Madrid was chaotic today.

Higuain did not concede the position in the middle of the penalty area and did not help to pull away the defenders, and neither Ronaldo nor Di Maria had many good chances to cut in.

Jose Mourinho was able to see clearly from the sidelines and he gave Higuain half an hour.

After half an hour, after seeing that Higuain was still not half conscious, Mourinho decided to clear his mind.

"Oh! Substitutions! Mourinho asked for a substitution, Benzema stood on the sidelines, is this to replace Higuain? ”

Xu Yang, who partnered with He Wei again to explain the game today, shouted first.

He Wei also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Finally replaced Higuain, today he has a problem with his mind, and he must be allowed to calm down!"

Of course, He Wei didn't dare to say this sentence in his heart during the live broadcast.

Looking at Higuain, who ended up depressed, he still opened his mouth to say a few words for him, guessing that Higuain may have something wrong with his state today.

However, after Benzema came on the field and improved Real Madrid's shooting efficiency on the offensive end in a short period of time, He Wei also closed his mouth and stopped talking about Higuain's state.

Guo Feng has proved well with his actions, is this a matter of mentality and self-positioning?

That is, there is not much time left for Real Madrid in the first half, otherwise maybe Ronaldo can really score the equalizing goal with the help of Benzema's containment.

Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid played a half-time full attack and defense, and then the physical strength dropped very quickly.

But at the beginning of the second half, they still tried to grab the opening game and disrupted Real Madrid's attacking rhythm.

Fifty-sixth and fifty-seven minutes later, the Basque Lion, who was a little nervous, slowly withdrew his sharp fangs.

Bielsa looked at the disciples who were all a little tired at the moment, and hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to shrink the half of the court for a while.

Real Madrid waited for this opportunity, and Leon teamed up with Granero to quickly seize control of the top of the arc in the centre circle.

Lurente and Athletic Bilbao's goalscorer Susaeta also withdrew to the halfway line to interfere with Real Madrid's organised attack.

But the strength of their defense also played a role in interference, Real Madrid pressed heavily and launched a ferocious offensive amid the earth-shattering cheers of the fans at the scene.

Athletic Bilbao put on a defensive posture with a back three, with Martinez, San Jose and Iturraspe all defending in front of their own penalty area.

Herrera and Muniain played as wing-backs.

Real Madrid tried to use the penetration attack to play for another ten minutes, but seeing that the effect was not good, Ronaldo and Di Maria, two long-range shooters, began to use their personal ability to shake off the angle and fire frequently outside the penalty area.

Jose Mourinho also replaced Granero with Essien in the 68th minute, further reinforcing Real Madrid's threat from the edge of the box.

In the 75th minute of the second half, Leon played a ball cannon for Essien, helping him to complete his first long-range shot from a position about 33 meters away from the goal.

Ilesos didn't dare to be careless, and blocked Essien's heavy bombardment directly out of the bottom line.

Seeing a corner, Real Madrid's headers plunged into the Athletic Bilbao penalty area.

Now it's Athletic Bilbao's turn to worry.

Ten minutes earlier, Real Madrid had come close to scoring from a corner.

At that time, Pepe shook his head and hit the goal at a few points higher angle, and finally flew to the stands against the crossbar.

So this time Pepe and Ramos rushed into the penalty area together, and the defenders of Athletic Bilbao greeted each other as if they were facing a big enemy.

But there are still too many people to target on Real Madrid's side.

The two brothers in central defenders, Li Ang, Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Athletic Bilbao has an advantage in heading highs anyway, and there are only three highs anyway, and two Real Madrid headers have to be missed one-on-one.

Leon will be standing next to De Marcos, and Martinez will not care about Ronaldo when he sees Ronaldo.

Di Maria raised her left arm high in the corner flag and then ran towards Athletic Bilbao to send a low-flying arc in front of the penalty area!

Playing in the middle of the penalty area and at the back post with a large number of people, Real Madrid's players are likely to miss a point, so it makes sense for Di Maria to choose to send a penalty that falls to the front post.

Li Ang saw that the football could not fly to the back point, so he ran outside the penalty area as soon as possible.

Ramos, who was at the front of the post, would beat Herrera to complete a header that looked back at the moon.

In the middle of the Athletic Bilbao penalty area, the forward Benzema could not shake off the marking of Amorebieta, and Biba's goalkeeper Ilesos made a decisive punch to knock the ball out of the penalty area.

This caused chaos in the Biba penalty area, and Essien at the top of the arc of the penalty area was stuck in a dead position.

After a moment of observation, he resisted Muniain's defensive interference, stopped the ball with his chest, and then used the arch of his foot to the end of the right-hand edge of the penalty area.

Li Ang, who had not been noticed by few people before, easily stopped the ball on the right side of Biba's big penalty area.

He adjusted his pace and seemed to be about to complete the volley, a scene that many Athletic Bilbao players remembered.

Li Ang seemed to have played a world wave in the game against Real Sociedad before!

DeMarcos pounced for a defensive interception, and Martinez was ready to fly to block the eye.

But none of them thought that Li Ang was just a false shot!

As Leon's swinging calf fell quickly, the football was also rubbed out by him, and flew straight to the other side of the Biba penalty area!

"Li Ang shoots a fake shot and a real pass! Rear point! ”

He Wei couldn't help but roar angrily, and at the football landing position at this moment, Ronaldo also used his strength to break free from San Jose's entanglement with him!

Before Amorey Pita was in place to make up for the defense, Ronaldo jumped high, stretched out his posture and pushed the football to the middle of the goal!

Iles' instantaneous judgment was in the far corner, so he could only watch the ball fly into his goal!

The seventy-seventh minute of the second half!

Li Ang assisted Cristiano Ronaldo to complete the difficult goal against Athletic Bilbao and successfully pulled the score to a 1-1 draw!

In the Bernabeu stadium, which erupted like a volcanic eruption, there were terrifying cheers.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Leon resisted the urge to celebrate.

One of them rushed into the net to get the ball, and the other directly waved his arms and roared, signaling his teammates to follow him and hurry back to the half court to wait for Biba's players to kick off again!

Mourinho also roared out of shape at this moment and punched hard!

After venting his excitement, he quickly lit Callejon again.

So before the game restarted, Real Madrid quickly completed the last substitution adjustment.

Callejon replaces Arbeloa, the classic striker for defender!

Obviously, Mourinho wants to seize the time to try to overtake the score at the last minute!

Bielsa looked at the situation of being equalized by Real Madrid at the last moment, which would be impossible to attack, so he could only wave his hand and replace defenders Ekitsa, Koikli and midfielder Inigo Perez.

"They're instigated! They're going to defend it! We have to be more efficient offensively! ”

As soon as Leon saw Athletic Bilbao's substitution, he turned his head and clapped loudly to remind his teammates.

Real Madrid did not waste any time, and from the restart of the game, they actively carried out a comprehensive press against Athletic Bilbao.

After stealing the ball, immediately go into attack, and if the ball is cut off, then actively counter-attack on the spot.

The momentum made the Real Madrid fans in the scene also agitated, and they booed strongly at the defending Athletic Bilbao players.

But this will be that the whole team of Biba can't take care of so much.

They just want to hold on to this hard-won point.

Lying on the grass, fouling, protecting the ball to drag time.

Biba can be described as a trick to delay time, and many Real Madrid fans who watch TV are angry and anxious.

Leon forced himself to calm down.

The teammates in front of this will have to rely on him and Brother Long to organize the offensive line, so everyone can be in a hurry, and he and Brother Long must not be in a hurry.

"My strengths, my strengths!"

After a quick thought, Leon made a bold decision.

After receiving the return pass after Callejon's breakthrough defeat, Leon observed it and began to slowly dribble forward.

Iturraspe's sweaty front pressed up to press Leon's space to dribble, but in the next moment, Leon decisively went to the side!

He's going to eat Ituraspe by force!

If such a decision were made at the beginning of the game, if he dared to do so, Uncle Bird would definitely scold him directly.

But watching Leon squeeze his physical strength to surpass Ituraspe little by little, Mourinho has no idea of spraying people at all, he only hopes that Leon can have the strength to rush to the next stage!

All Real Madrid fans also looked nervously at the two figures sprinting on the right side of Biba at this moment.

Ituraspe couldn't stand it, he didn't even dare to gasp for breath, for fear that he would be deflated as soon as he opened his mouth.

So he chose to reach out, and he wanted to use a foul to stop Leon's sudden advance.

It's a pity that his decision was a beat slower.

The moment Li Ang chose to reach out, he led the ball and broke out again!

It's not a fancy pass, it's just a simple inward cut.

Leon's dribbling skills do not support him to play any delicate small technical changes, but it is such a simple and direct passing action, which makes the Real Madrid fans on the scene feel confident at this moment!

"Rush! Little lion, keep rushing! ”

A cry of hope rang out in the stadium.

Real Madrid fans watched as the figure who continued to squeeze his physical strength rampaged through Biba's half.

He dodged Muniain's pull and managed to break into the third section of Athletic Bilbao's defence, and he faced Xavi Martinez!

"I'm definitely embarrassed right now."

Under the vigorous and frequent breathing, Li Ang still had the leisure to think about his current appearance.

The dirty jersey, his face is full of sweat and grass clippings, and his wet mid-length hair, except for his face, he is now handsome and has nothing to do with it at all.

But even if he was so embarrassed, he still won the bet after all, at least half of the win!

His greater physical strength is his greatest advantage at the moment.

Run a little faster, run a little longer, and he will be able to create one last chance for Real Madrid!

Against Martinez, Leon was not very sure, but he continued to hold the ball and rushed over.

In the final moments of the game, football has completely become a game for the brave and the strong.

Martinez was equally brave, and he took a determined step to meet the slightly embarrassed-looking ball-carrying figure.

The two had another fierce confrontation in a quick stagger.

Leon spelled out the last wave of physical energy that could explode, protecting the ball and struggling to move forward on Martinez's side!

He saw Martinez's resolute eyes, and felt the huge pulling force of Martinez's suddenly bulging arms on him!

"Am I going to fall?"

Such a thought flashed through Leon in a trance.

He didn't want to fall, he wanted to make one last effort to move forward, but Martinez's pull with all his might at the last moment made him unable to bear it.

However, at the last moment when he glanced at the front court, a resolute forward figure lifted his heart!

At this moment of temporary clarity, that is, the moment of falling to the ground.

Leon used all his strength to hold the arch of his foot as much as he could, pushing the ball in the direction where the forward figure was traveling!

In the next moment, the moment his body and the turf touched, Leon snorted.

This wave of gritted teeth forced forward insertion made him almost exhausted, and even if he could run again later, he would have to rest for at least a minute or two.

Turning over with difficulty, Li Ang gritted his teeth and slowly stood up with his hands on the turf.

In the next moment, the scene suddenly erupted in deafening crazy cheers!

At the moment when this terrifying wave swept him, Li Ang didn't even have time to look back to see what was happening, and he was tightly hugged by Brother Long, who rushed to the front with a hideous face!

"We. . Scored?! ”

Brother Long's roar was drowned out by the huge wave, and Leon didn't hear what he said excitedly.

I could only ask anxiously.

Essien and Callejon returned, hugging Leon tightly with the same excitement and ecstasy!

Now Leon didn't have any doubts.

Because when his gaze shifted, he had already seen the scene he wanted to see the most.

At the Bernabeu scene, Real Madrid fans are all jumping and screaming passionately at the moment!

Leon saw his teammates who had all rushed out of the bench on the sidelines, and of course, the familiar figure who took the lead in running wildly on the sidelines!

He opened his hands and hugged the three of them tightly, allowing them to support themselves in place and jump excitedly.

Slowly, Leon, who had regained some strength, raised his arm!

He Wei, who was already roaring to celebrate Ronaldo's stunner, will see the picture of Li Ang raising his arms high, and once again burst the embankment with passion!

"This is Leon! Resolute Leon! Li Ang, who held up Real Madrid's last hope!!

Li Ang is not exhausted, and the winning streak will not end!
