Chapter 101 Break through the threshold of long passing and make up for the shortcomings [Ask the bigwigs to subscribe!] 】
"Don't you have respect in your dictionary? You're now making a mockery of one of Europe's strongest teams with three La Liga titles and two European titles in the last three seasons! ”
"Half a season of leading starts to be triumphant, the Madridists are like this, there are fourteen rounds left in the league, you better pray that Real Madrid will not drop the chain!"
"It's the end of the last four in the Champions League, because we're going to crush you head-on again!"
"It's all draws, but we draw Atletico Madrid, you draw Racing Santander, shame!"
Barcelona fans, who were annoyed by Leon's success, began to leave messages of abuse under his tweets.
However, Real Madrid's supporters are not vegetarians either, and soon launched a full-scale counterattack to help Leon "clean" the message board.
Li Ang looked at the comments under his personal tweet the next morning, and he was speechless.
At the beginning, when he issued "don't panic", he was appeasing the mood of his fans, and he didn't think about provoking Barcelona at all.
His original intention was to say that Real Madrid's lead is big enough and there is enough room for error that the occasional draw or even a loss is not a big deal.
After the game, the review dispels some impetuousness, reinvigorates the mood and moves forward steadily.
As a result, some of Barcelona's extreme fans ran to his tweet at that time to taunt Sawild.
To be reasonable, the follow-up wave of Li Ang's "Don't panic, Barcelona will send." "Not too much, right?
This is just doing a normal counterattack, he is a football player, and he is not a star in the entertainment industry who relies on traffic to eat.
Others talk about him for no reason, and of course he has the right to fight back.
He just didn't expect the Barcelona fans to intensify their verbal attacks on him.
Trying to reason with a large fan base turned out to be completely unworkable.
So he had a showdown, and he was too familiar with the use of magic against magic.
"Yes, Barcelona is the strongest team in Europe in the last three years, especially seeing Barcelona win two Champions Leagues, I am so envious! After all, Real Madrid is just a small club that has won nine Champions Leagues, and it can't be compared to a big club like Barcelona. ”
"I really should respect Barcelona more, so let's double in the league this season, how can I show my full respect if I don't kill Barcelona?"
"I don't know if Real Madrid will drop the chain, but Barcelona should continue to fall, after all, drawing six games and losing two games is a record that a La Liga championship team can play? Oh, sorry, it's a draw seven now. ”
"Why can't the winner be complacent? Do we still cry when we win the head-to-head duel and the standings? I'm sorry I can't. ”
Li Ang's counterattack message directly blew up public opinion!
Real Madrid fans are not too happy to look at Li Ang's sharp message.
And the player exchange group within Real Madrid was even more excited with Li Ang's crazy speech!
Arbeloa - [Damn it!] Little Lion, you said it so well! We should be proud when we win! Why can't you be complacent? What did Pique do last season, have these Barcelona fans chosen to forget? 】
Pepe - [The little lion is worthy of being a cultural person, haha, I see that those Barcelona fans are angry, and the sharp language counterattacks! ] 】
Cristiano Ronaldo - [Very cool, remember to bring me next time.] 】
Marcelo - [I have recorded these statements of the little lion, if the next time a Barcelona fan leaves me a message to show off their Champions League title, I will use these words to pay tribute to him, haha!] 】
Casillas - [Yes, it should be fought back, but the words could be a little milder.] 】
Ramos - [See you tomorrow brother, I'll give you a big hug, good job!] 】
Varane - [Do you want to report this to the boss?] 】
Li Ang was still happy to see the speeches of his teammates in front of him, and when he arrived at the school bully Varane, he immediately slapped his head.
He should have briefly talked to Mourinho about this, after all, when the club held a pre-match press conference in the future, reporters would definitely ask about Mourinho.
At that time, the club may still have public relations measures.
Thinking of this, Leon directly dialed Mourinho's phone.
As a result, Mourinho teased him after answering the phone.
"What's the matter, I'm done with my mouth, and now I know I'm panicking?"
"Huh? I don't panic, I just think I should give you a brief explanation of the situation. ”
"It's a little thing, you're smart, you didn't name and insult the fans, let alone the Barcelona players, they can't use this to make a big fuss."
"Okay, that'll do."
"Jorge should be calling you soon, ready to pick it up."
"Huh?"
Before Li Ang could react, Uncle Bird had already hung up the phone.
Five or six minutes later, Mendes actually called Leon to inquire about the situation.
"Antecedents and consequences? Okay, that's probably it."
Leon told him what happened and what he thought, and Mendes just asked Leon not to talk about this topic to reporters in the near future.
And then, there was no then.
Li Ang took the mobile phone that was voluntarily hung up again, and estimated that Mendes should deal with this matter with Real Madrid's public relations department, so he didn't think much about driving to the base to practice.
At this time, the benefits of having a reliable broker are reflected.
At least in terms of public opinion, if the players themselves don't do anything outrageous, they don't have to worry too much about their reputation being biased by media reports.
In the afternoon, when Li Ang finished his training and was about to drive home, he had already seen the public opinion guidance on the Internet that was favorable to him.
The pro-Real Madrid media focused on promoting Leon fighting back for the sake of Real Madrid.
The newspapers and magazines that have a good relationship with Mendes praised Leon for defending Real Madrid fans, and repeatedly pointed out that it was Barcelona's supporters who first provoked trouble and launched a public opinion war.
After the two sets of combination punches, the pro-Barcelona media could only grasp Li Ang's "disrespect" of Barcelona's statement without pain.
But to be honest, a player from Real Madrid's youth academy is still the main force of Real Madrid's first team, why should he show respect for Barcelona?
Waiting to be scolded by Real Madrid's own fans?
Or do you wait for an opportunity to switch to Barcelona?
Leon doesn't want to get involved in either aspect, Enrique and Figo are examples in the past, and after retiring, they can't escape being brought up by fans and the media again and again.
So he has no interest in refuting the statements of the pro-Barcelona media now.
Call him a Madridist, an anti-Barcelonalist or an anti-Barcelonaist, whatever they say.
To put it bluntly, as long as he does not join Barcelona in the future, the good or bad perception of Barcelona fans towards him will not harm his interests at all.
Where is the basic disk and how to maintain the operation, he still understands this truth.
As the turmoil subsided, Leon's popularity among Real Madrid's fan base increased.
However, what he didn't expect was that many neutral fans also came to follow his personal social account in this public opinion war.
"Do they like sharp-mouthed players?"
Li Ang himself couldn't help but complain.
If that's the case, then these fans who follow him may regret it soon.
Just like he is not dirty on the court, but when he is dirty, it will make the "prosperous beauty" Costa unbearable.
The sharpness of his words is generally not shown to the public, well, he thinks he is an elegant and easy-going civilized player.
It's okay to be weird and weird once in a while, but if you want him to work every day, he can't do it.
Li Ang, who has always had a Buddhist attitude towards the coming and going of fans, did not spend much time on the skyrocketing number of fans.
He took advantage of the rare recuperation period after the last round of the league to be busy with the ability value of the liver long pass.
I don't know why, he felt that long passes were much more difficult than when he practiced short passes and ball control.
For example, the same from 70 ability points to open the liver, to rise to 80 ability points of the small threshold.
Short passes and ball control are much faster than long passes.
Leon has been focusing on long passes since the offseason before the start of the season, and as a result, he has spent most of the season improving his ability from 72 to 79.
That's a lot slower than when he increased his short pass stats.
Fortunately, Li Ang is not in a hurry, and recently he feels that his control of long passing technology has reached a threshold.
Maybe after crossing this threshold, his long pass ability value can successfully break through to 80, and then there will be a golden training period of a wave of data increase.
This is all the experience that Li Ang has summed up before.
"Maybe in the next game, maybe in the next game, I can get a breakthrough in the game, training is very important, but I still have to find more opportunities to try in the game."
After the training session on the afternoon of March 3, Li Ang pondered the feeling of practicing the long pass with Brother Long just now, and suddenly had a premonition in his heart.
He tried to find more opportunities to send long passes in the following games, and he might be able to successfully open the door to 80 ability points for long passes.
And Alonso, who was standing quietly watching Leon in contemplation, was also full of smiles.
He could perceive that Li Ang had made steady progress in various techniques during this time.
Of course, long passing, as Leon's main technical shortcoming at present, must also be the part that Alonso is most concerned about.
Brother Long couldn't see the numerical panels of various abilities on Li Ang's body, but he could feel the delicate changes in Li Ang's long pass technique.
If Leon's long pass before was almost imitating his pursuit of flat and fast characteristics, there was no appearance but not too accurate landing.
So now, Li Ang's long pass has begun to carve precision on the basis of flatness.
Brother Long thinks that this is the most appropriate way to describe Li Ang's progress.
And when Li Ang further improved the power skills of the long pass, he accurately mastered when to pass the ball and when to pass back the ball, and he could pass without much deviation.
Then Li Ang will be able to go out smoothly, and the next thing to do is to further hone and refine his skills in a large number of competitions.
After all, in terms of the comprehensive talent of the body, Brother Long has always thought that Li Ang is far superior to himself.
The two may be similar in head-to-head confrontation and physical fitness, but Leon's agility, balance, speed and bounce are all stronger.
Thinking of this, Brother Long couldn't help but pat Li Ang's shoulder with relief.
"You play well in the next game, try more when you have the opportunity, don't be tied, try as much as possible in the future games, what you learn is not useful, how can it become your own thing."
Li Ang came back to his senses, looked at Brother Long's encouraging eyes towards him, and nodded vigorously with a smile.
On the evening of March 4, Real Madrid hosted the 26th round of La Liga with Espanyol.
This is a game that is destined to be more "good-looking".
Espanyol currently sit 10th in La Liga and are not at all in the grip of relegation, while their young manager Mauricio Pochettino is a penchant for attacking football.
As soon as these two characteristics were put on display, coupled with the good relationship between Real Madrid and Espanyol, Mourinho immediately decided to play a big offensive battle with his opponent.
So on the premise that both sides have set up a four-three-three starting formation, this round of La Liga has gained the attention of a huge number of fans, both in Spain and overseas.
On Real Madrid's side, Cristiano Ronaldo, Higuain, and Callejon formed the attacking trident.
In midfield, Alonso dragged down to play as a lone midfielder, with Leon and Angel Di Maria flanking the midfield today.
At the back, except for Nacho, who continued to start in place of the injured Arbeloa, the rest of the starters remained the same.
If Marcelo starts in place of Coentrão, the offensive attributes of this formation will basically be full.
However, Mu Shuai finally chose to stabilize his hand.
With Di Maria providing attacking support to Ronaldo in the left midfield, Real Madrid's firepower on the left side will not be weak.
Coentrão was in charge of defense at this time, which was more reassuring to him.
Although several of the Spaniard's forwards are basically not a threat to Real Madrid's backline, but what if?
Before the game began, Leon looked at the young Coutinho, who was not far away from him, and smiled subconsciously.
And Coutinho, who was peeking at Leon at the moment, was nervous when he saw his smile.
I don't know which media spread it before, saying that Leon likes to smile at Mourinho's opponent before the game who asked him to lock it up.
Coutinho, who is not yet twenty years old, has fluffy mid-length hair, which looks quite honest.
It seems that he also believed the rhetoric of those media.
So when the Spaniards made their first attacking attempt, midfielder Romaric passed the ball to Coutinho, and the kid was really nervous.
He played as a left winger today, and Leon just played in the right midfield, and the opposition was solid.
Li Ang looked at the young Ku Bird who had a little fluttering eyes on the other side of him, and he felt quite strange.
"Dude looks so scary?"
muttered, but the movements of Li Ang's feet were not slow at all.
Just like he "educated" those young players born in the 90s, Leon taught Coutinho a good lesson when he first played against him.
First block the possibility of Coutinho taking the sideline to eat the ball, and then bully and press on the confrontation.
Leon used two defensive skills to make the Fluffy Bird feel extremely oppressive.
He wanted to turn around and protect the ball and pass back, but how could Li Ang, who was already entangled, give him a chance.
After poking the ball away from between Ku Bird's feet, Li Ang squeezed Ku Bird away and stopped behind him.
After snatching the ball neatly, Li Ang took two steps with the ball, and then boldly sent the first diagonal long pass in the opening stage!
"Leon made a long pass very simply! Higuain retreats to the outside of the box to do a header ferry! ”
He Wei didn't expect Li Ang to grab a good offensive opportunity at the beginning of the game.
At the moment when Higuain completed the header ferry, He Wei was even ready to cheer for Ronaldo to break into the penalty area.
It's a pity that Espanyol centre-back Rodriguez took the lead in bringing the ball back to midfield.
Cristiano Ronaldo was a little upset that he didn't manage to get the ball in the end, but after the frustration, he quickly gave Higuain and Leon a long pass a thumbs up.
Mourinho looked at Leon, who had retreated to defend at this time, with some surprise.
"Why is Leon so active today? That's a good long pass. ”
"It's rare for this kid to start with such an active attack, let him try more today?"
Mourinho didn't have much of a problem when he heard Karanka's proposal.
"Let's go first, and after a one-goal lead, let this kid try more."
Jose Mourinho made the decision, but he didn't expect the first goal to come so quickly.
Just after Real Madrid and Espanyol each played a few offensive attempts, in the seventh minute of the first half, Di Maria advanced through the middle to break the Espanyol defense.
After connecting the two, Angel saw that the Spaniard's defenders were coming towards him, so he quickly crossed the ball to Leon, who followed up.
Leon didn't delay and played a through ball to Callejon, who cut inside on the right side of the Espanyol penalty area.
Callejon took two steps into the Espanyol's penalty area, and after a little observation, he sent a low sweeping pass!
The ball "cuts" from right to left like a sharp blade in the penalty area.
Higuain didn't grab the ball, but Ronaldo, who was inserted at high speed at the back of the goal at the moment, almost blocked the ball into the goal guarded by Casilla!
The Bernabeu erupted in cheers at Cristiano Ronaldo's opening again, while Mourinho and Karanka also looked at each other and smiled at Leon to let go of tactical authority.
Now with the double encouragement and decentralization of Brother Long and the coach, Li Ang had nothing to hesitate about, and directly took over the task of long pass scheduling.
Compared with Brother Long, Li Ang's current long passing level is definitely much worse, but it is not to the point where it is difficult for his teammates to pick up.
His vision is quite broad, and several long passes are well timed, and several offensive players in the front court can get it after a run.
In the 21st minute of the first half, Callejon passed the ball back after an attack was blocked, and Di Maria transitioned and then knocked the ball across to Leon.
At the moment when the Spaniard's backs Fulin and Romarik subconsciously followed the forward pressure, Leon knocked the ball down, and then adjusted his position and decisively sent a diagonal long pass with his left foot!
And in the hinterland of the Spaniard's half, Ronaldo started to advance at high speed one step ahead!
In the blink of an eye, the linesman did not raise the flag for offside.
And in the middle of the forward insertion, Ronaldo, who controlled the ball in front of him, did not give Casilla much time to react.
He swung his left leg back quickly and slightly, but finally burst out with a strong shot and volleyed the ball into the far corner of the goal!
Casilla reacted quickly this time and made no mistakes in his saves, but his pace was still too slow!
After a crisp and pleasant football sounded on the net, the home fans at the Bernabeu were jubilant again!
And when Leon heard the ability upgrade prompt he wanted to hear the most, he also grinned contentedly.
He finally broke through the threshold of long passing and initially made up for his technical shortcomings!
