Chapter 120: Almighty is the trend, defense is the foundation
"Blaitze, that steal was beautiful! If you steal the ball later, you can be more daring to try to push forward, and Karim will also drop back to meet you as soon as possible.
At this stage, it's normal that the tacit understanding is still a little worse, and sometimes you really can't make up your mind, so you can go directly to Cristiano and send him a long pass, and the amount in advance can be larger."
On the training ground in the heat of summer, Matuidi was holding an energy drink and listening attentively to Leon's advice.
Communication between the two was not a big problem, because at the moment Leon was communicating with him in a slow but fluent French.
This is also one of the important reasons why the relationship between Matuidi and Leon has become closer in recent days.
The reason why Leon is now able to use French as a language tool is not because he is diligent and studious.
Rather, it was because he won a five-Chinese language proficiency capsule worth 500 points from the two golden item cards drawn from the previous championship package.
A five-Chinese mastery capsule, a pair of gold-level ankle protection boots, and a bottle of intermediate-level fitness recovery potion that can be used up to ten times without a time limit.
These are the three props that Li Ang opened.
He likes and is very satisfied with the ankle protection boots, as long as it is an equipment item with an injury resistance attribute, he can accept it.
The previous powerful shin guards with these ankle-protecting boots were enough for him to avoid most of his injuries on the court.
After all, the injured parts of football players are basically the legs of the knee joint and below, and it is really not easy to injure the upper body.
There's nothing to say about the physical recovery potion, but it's an old regular, and it's still very practical.
It's this five-Chinese language mastery capsule, and when Li Ang saw it for the first time, he thought it was expensive, and it wasn't cost-effective to exchange it for this thing.
He still thinks so.
However, the opening has already been opened, and even if he takes the prop recovery function inside the system, he can only sell this language proficiency capsule for 200 points.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was really a loss, so Li Ang finally used it directly.
French, Arabic, German, Russian, Italian, these are the five languages that Leon finally chose to be proficient in.
He knows Italian, at least in terms of spoken English, and he has no problem communicating with Italians on a daily basis.
But in the end, he really didn't know what language to choose, he didn't need to learn Portuguese, he could English.
As for speaking the South Korean language and Japanese?
He didn't want to learn that thing, that is, he didn't want to learn it subjectively, so in the end he simply chose to be proficient in Italian, which can be regarded as further adjusting the accent.
So Matuidi was pleasantly surprised to find that in the Real Madrid team, in addition to Benzema, he also has a teammate who can communicate with French barriers.
As a result, Li Ang made another wave of limelight in the training base, and in the face of questions from his teammates, he could only attribute it to his learning ability.
This argument is also acceptable, after all, Leon has had an example of self-taught Italian.
It's just that I feel like I've been hurt by 10,000 points.
If you don't ask me for French advice, you don't have a priority to communicate with others in French, but you are looking for a new teammate?
Loveless, loveless.
Jose Mourinho felt an unexpected surprise in this matter, after all, Leon and Matuidi are destined to partner together many times in the new season.
If there is no problem in language communication, with Leon's guidance and explanation, Matuidi can also integrate into the team's tactics as soon as possible.
This season's pre-season preparation time is still too short.
After a month of playing the European Championship, many of the main players in the Real Madrid team now need to rest for a while.
However, the schedule waits for no one, and Real Madrid will usher in the first round of La Liga after the last two warm-up matches against Milan and Celtic.
After that, the Spanish Super Cup and the UEFA Super Cup followed.
Therefore, in order to give the main players more time to rest, Mourinho may have to put out a set of sufficient rotation lineups to face the first round of La Liga.
Leon and Matuidi are basically the starting partners of the two midfielders.
With Alonso rested, Leon was able to drag his feet and organise enough.
As long as Matuidi integrates into the team faster, then the two-man midfield combination Mourinho is still quite satisfied.
Everyone says Mourinho likes to use a black and hard back, but the fact is that the black and hard back is really good.
Matuidi doesn't have a good reputation right now, and he hasn't played much for the French national team, but his quality has fully met the tactical requirements of Mourinho.
The midfielder has a large coverage and sweeping area, excellent physical fitness, outstanding tackling ability, and the key is to be obedient and willing to do more dirty work.
It doesn't matter if his stature is not too tall, Leon can make up for the air defense in the midfield after delaying.
Today's Leon is over 1.84 meters tall, his weight has slowly increased to 82 kilograms, his bounce is excellent, and his header has also made a lot of progress, just making up for Matuidi's defects in air defense.
Finally, plus an Essien who is in good shape, this midfield trio, it can only be said that it is very hard, and it is even harder than when Brother Face is there.
Of course, the opponents faced in the previous warm-up games were too weak to test the current level of cooperation between the three of them.
Milan came at the right time.
On the evening of August 8, Real Madrid ushered in a warm-up match against AC Milan at the Bernabeu.
The exchange between the players and coaches on both sides before the game was so friendly.
Kaka's return to Milan with the treble at Real Madrid is a happy ending.
Milan fans don't have the same unhappiness and even a little hate for Real Madrid.
Of course, if the current Real Madrid are willing to loan Leon to Milan for another season or two, then the Rossoneri will naturally be even happier.
It's a pity that I can't borrow it.
As Mourinho's absolute descendant and one of the core of Real Madrid's current midfield, Real Madrid will never easily put Leon out on loan.
So when they watched Leon and Kaka, their former Milan teammates, and Allegri hugging each other, the Milan fans could only sigh softly.
The friendly match that night was played on both sides quite friendly, and the intensity of the scramble was there, but the action was not too big, let alone a bad malicious foul.
However, even with a restrained defense, the new macho trio on Real Madrid's side has made Milan's veterans suffer.
Before it was Leon's turn, Matuidi Gaesin's sweep had already defused most of Milan's central advances.
Real Madrid fans were comfortable watching, but Galeries Lafayette in the private room smiled a little forcefully.
In the past few years, he has spent so much effort to build the second generation of Galaxy Battleships, and how suddenly there is a trend of developing from superstars and handsome guys to devil muscles
The effect of the warm-up game is very outstanding, and Lafayette also understands the ball, so it is natural to see the importance of Mourinho's tactical play to stabilize the results.
But Essinga Matuyidi, that really doesn't have much commercial value.
Finally, looking at Leon's handsome and sunny face, Lafayette felt that his heart was gradually soothed.
Uncle Bird didn't know the uncomfortable thoughts of his chairman, he was full of smiles on his face, and he and Karanka talked and laughed in the coach's seat for the whole time.
The final result of the warm-up season was 4-2, with Cristiano Ronaldo, who came on as a second-half substitute on Real Madrid's side, scoring twice, and Gonzalo Higuain and Callejon scoring in succession.
Real Madrid also won three consecutive warm-up matches after losing to Benfica.
And on the afternoon of August 12, in the last pre-season warm-up game with Celtic, Mourinho made almost all the players of the first team appear on the field.
When it comes to the state of the game, the current Real Madrid coaching staff is not worried.
The core of the team almost played until the final moments of the European Championship.
Li Ang, this kid is also an animal, and he has practiced for another month, and now he has pulled all the main forces out to play against Barcelona, and Mourinho is absolutely confident that he can win the game against Barcelona again.
But from the perspective of the overall situation, in order to win the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup stably, the main players should still rest.
After a week of tactical drilling, Jose Mourinho unleashed a smoke bomb at the pre-match press conference for the first round of the new season.
Facing Valencia's strong opener opponent who finished third in La Liga last season, Mourinho was still not careless.
Unai Emery said before the game that he would give it his all to try to get a point at home to the Bernabeu.
It can be seen that he is still a little unconvinced by the two defeats at the hands of Mourinho last season.
Real Madrid's first release of the starting 18-man squad also made him ponder for a long time.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Di Maria, Alonso
Faced with the fact that Real Madrid are likely to play with the main force, Unai Emery believes that they cannot press too far forward and cannot rush at the beginning.
Last season, Real Madrid's 130 league goals were terrifying, and the teams that would play against Real Madrid were looking for death.
As a result, Emery carefully developed a set of 4231 starting formations that specialize in counter-attacking.
But on the night of August 19, what he saw was not Real Madrid, who were all in the main force.
Ronaldo and a few of them were talking and laughing on the Real Madrid bench to point out and communicate, and the Real Madrid starters standing on the field were the substitute rotations that Emery thought before the game!
And after the start of the game, these Real Madrid substitute rotation players also quickly seized the upper hand in the battle against Valencia!
Li Ang showed his "general style" from the beginning of the game.
His playmaking and ability to pass long and short looks to be a big improvement from last season.
Or progress visible to the naked eye.
This caused La Liga commentators from all over the world to sigh, saying that Leon is now more and more omnipotent.
However, soon, in a quick counterattack by Valencia, Leon teamed up with the returning Matuidi to give Guardado a decisive and ferocious tackle.
Well, it tastes right!
Leang, who still had grass clippings on his face, even reminded his teammates to concentrate more on the defensive end after getting up.
Almighty is indeed the trend of his future development.
But stable defense is his foundation!
it.,Forgot to release it regularly.,There's still a chapter.
