Chapter 129: The Birth of Another New Midfield Combo, Turbo Dual-Core Launch!

Many fans also sang in the summer window that Real Madrid's performance in the new season will drop significantly.

After all, Real Madrid sold three rotation midfielders at the time, and two of them were important rotations.

One of the two new midfielders is the black and hard who is not too well-known in Ligue 1, and the other is the core of Tottenham Hotspur, who does not seem to be at the top level.

Even if you can't make ends meet, the new signings must have time to adapt, right?

The veteran Real Madrid players who won the treble last season always have to swell and relax for a while, right?

This is all quite normal.

Inter, who was a great success in 09-10, and Barcelona, who made a comeback in the 10-11 season, did not see them continue to defend the Champions League strongly.

After winning enough championships, professional players who have eaten enough attention and a sense of honor always have to take a break and then rush for the championship.

It's normal for people, how can there be people who have always insisted on hard training and don't like to enjoy it.

After Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 6-3 over two legs and won the Spanish Super Cup, such voices gradually became less and less.

After Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid and won the UEFA Super Cup again, the number of annual championships was pushed to five.

The fans who had previously sung about Real Madrid's performance in the new season were suddenly silent.

It is clear that Real Madrid's players are yet to be fed with a treble.

These Real Madrid stars are just like the Barcelona players who won the treble in the 08-09 season.

They have a big appetite and bigger ambitions, and they also want to win a six-crown!

And, at least for now, Real Madrid's six-time title is basically a foregone conclusion.

The more difficult Western Super Cup and European Super Cup have been won, and Real Madrid will let go of the last and least difficult Club World Cup champion?

When it comes to Real Madrid's final performance prediction this season, in fact, there is a good example of comparison in the previous years.

Barcelona, who had only won the treble, failed to defend the Champions League in the 09-10 season.

The Barcelona, known as the Cosmos team, was restrained by the tactics of Inter led by Jose Mourinho at that time and fell in front of the goal of the 10-year Champions League final.

But now, there is no second Mourinho to lead the team to snipe at this more well-rounded Real Madrid team.

The madman is the helm of this big demon team, Real Madrid, and his style of leading the team to play cup matches is indeed more stable than other coaches.

So, take the Barcelona team in the 09-10 season as a template comparison.

If this Real Madrid team can learn their lesson and abandon the domestic cup competition to specialise in the league and the Champions League, and continue to play their positional style in the Champions League.

Then they have a good chance of winning the double again!

They are also likely to become the first team to successfully defend their Champions League title after the restructuring.

That's when European football really changes.

However, Bayern, which has been further strengthened in this summer window, currently looks very strong.

If Barcelona can't count on it, it will depend on whether Bayern has the script for Inter Milan for 10 years.

The international break came as scheduled, and the Real Madrid players, who won their fifth title of the year, went to their respective national teams to report after enjoying the joy of winning the title.

Leon stayed in Madrid as usual.

On the one hand, he should try to avoid the generation of unfavorable public opinion, and on the other hand, he didn't have the heart to travel and rest at this time.

Because his new development skills, which are still slowly improving, need a lot of time to be trained.

Leon asked Mendes to find another training team for himself who could take on short-term cooperation.

Originally, he also wanted to hire Pintus to accompany him to practice his strength again in these ten days.

But after hearing that Pintus's family had just moved to Madrid, Leon also put out such thoughts.

After joining Real Madrid, the big man finally looked forward to the reunion with his family, so he didn't bother much.

Truth be told, the time for a person's special training doesn't pass quickly, even if Leon is used to training on the day of the national break.

Fortunately, some of the boredom quickly dissipated with the rich training plan.

When almost every day is filled with training, physical recovery, and rest, Leon has no time to think about boring problems.

On September 10, his short-term special training was completed, and the players of the Real Madrid first team who did not have the task of playing the national team also arrived at the training base one after another.

The World Preliminary Tournament is still in full swing, and the Spanish and Portuguese national teams are still fighting fiercely against their group opponents.

Jose Mourinho and the entire Real Madrid coaching team are worried about this.

After all, the physical consumption of Real Madrid's core main players is not to be discussed for the time being.

What they are most afraid of is which players will be injured accidentally.

In the upcoming fourth round of La Liga and the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid's lineup will be passive.

On the evening of September 11, the Spanish national team, which had played this stage of the world preliminaries, returned home with consecutive victories.

But the injury that worries Mu Shuai the most has happened again.

Arbeloa went off injured in the second half of the match against Georgia, thankfully suffering a sprained ankle.

On the other side, in the Portuguese team, which only finished the World Cup preliminary round with Azerbaijan, Coentrão was also replaced at halftime due to a thigh muscle strain.

The injuries to both of the main full-backs made Mourinho feel bad in an instant.

On the afternoon of September 12, when most of the main players were slightly tired to report to the Valdebebas base, Mu Shuai's brows were almost twisted into a "embarrassed" word.

There is no way, after the team doctor's examination, the main players who are prone to injury are first physiotherapy and recovered.

Among the remaining players who are in decent physical condition, Mourinho is also cautious to let a small number of players start recovery training first.

The two days of preparation went by quickly, and the names of several key players were crossed out of the injury list.

Ahead of the La Liga game against Sevilla, Jose Mourinho has finally confirmed his starting line-up for the league game.

This time, Mourinho didn't have the heart to put any more tactical smoke bombs, and in the eighteen-man squad he released, Marcelo and Matuidi's starters were inevitable.

Coentrão was injured and Alonso, who was still a little tired, was directly excluded from the starting line-up.

Therefore, in the left-back and midfielder positions, the outside media does not need to speculate.

In terms of the selection of the starting choice at right-back, most of the media speculation is that Mourinho will directly let Essien go first.

Playing in that position was not a problem for Essien, who could have played at right-back and centre-back, and had made frequent cameos at Chelsea.

Carvajal and Nacho are mostly starters when they are still playing in the lower middle of La Liga, and neither of them is as stable as Essien.

It was on the last choice of the midfield trio that Mu Shuai left a suspense.

Angel Di Maria and Luka Modric are both in the 18-man squad, with both players playing in central midfield or even in midfield.

It depends on Mourinho's final choice, and it is reasonable for the two to start in midfield at this stage.

On the evening of September 15, in the attention of countless fans, Real Madrid's starting squad was only released an hour before the game.

Di Maria started, but at the same time, Modric also got the chance to start!

Sevilla coach Michel will find it a little tricky.

Because Modric has not been given the opportunity to play since he arrived at Real Madrid, he has been training with his team-mates.

The level of level can be seen through Modric's past performances at Tottenham and Croatia.

However, there is no video of Modric's style of play and tactical position at Real Madrid now.

Unless you get a real training video from the Real Madrid team.

In other words, Modric is the X-factor in this game.

Michel didn't expect Mourinho to dare to start a new signing who hadn't played for a minute before.

So now he can only be vigilant and ready to see Real Madrid's new tactical play today.

He Wei, who was commenting on the game with Coach Zhang in the early hours of the night, was actually very curious when introducing the starters of both sides.

Luka Modric, the Croatian midfielder, had been in very good form for Tottenham and had impressed a lot of fans on the Euro 08 stage earlier.

Today was his first appearance for Real Madrid, and he started when he came out, and Mourinho also said in a previous interview that he would send Modric when he thought he was ready to play in a suitable situation.

Looks like today is the right opportunity! ”

Director Zhang looked at Modric's side face that resembled Cruyff, and his tone was also very expectant.

The No. 8 shirt left by Kaka was taken over by Modric, which also represents the trust and affirmation of Mourinho and Real Madrid for Modric.

Li Ang has also expressed his 'love' for his new teammate many times before, look at it, today is the first time the two have started together on the field, Mourinho dares to arrange it like this, at least the tactical effect during training should still be good. ”

The commentary of the two immediately raised the expectations of Chinese fans for Modric.

And at this time, Modric's mind was surprisingly clear.

There was some pressure, but not as much as he expected.

In other words, he had been mentally prepared for a long time.

When he came to Real Madrid to play, he had to face a hundred times more attention and scrutiny in every game than in his past games.

He has this awareness, coupled with his own strong ability to resist pressure, which will be able to show composure.

After the opening ceremony, Modric took a deep breath and took his place in his own half.

As soon as he turned his head to observe, the near-parallel figures of Leon and him came into view.

"Don't be nervous Luca, look at me more then!"

Leon seemed to feel Modric's gaze, turned his head and smiled, and shouted loudly.

Modric also smiled, feeling an inexplicable sense of stability in his heart.

The game started punctually at the whistle of the referee on duty, and the more than 40,000 fans of the two teams at the Pizjuán Stadium also began to cheer hoarsely.

Sevilla, which kicked off first, adopted a four-three-three starting formation today, which was very aggressive, and spread out the formation at the beginning to do offensive testing.

Their starting centre-forward Negredo is also an excellent attacker cultivated by Real Madrid's youth system.

With a height of 1.86 meters and a weight of 85 kilograms, it is a relatively standard center-forward body template.

He has a strong ability to fight and the ability to catch and shoot.

And today, the Real Madrid midfielder is a tall defender with a tall stature, and Matuidi and Modric basically have no good way to take the ball from Negredo.

Michel should have also seen the lack of defense in the Real Madrid midfielder at this point, and made a tactical target in the last minute before the game.

Negredo will then press on the side of Modric's midfield and raise his hand to share the ball.

His pivot role was prominent, with Sevilla's left winger Trokhovski also getting a couple of chances to attack Matuidi's defence through Negredo's cover.

Judging from the offensive and defensive responses in the opening game, Modric's slightly weaker figure still suffered in the confrontation.

Even if his sense of position is not bad and he was not rushed out of his position by the opponent, it is already a big hole in the interception line of Real Madrid's midfield.

However, Mourinho is not in a hurry at all, and Modric looks as usual.

Just when many commentators felt confused, Li Ang moved.

He has always had a very wide range of activities, but it is rare for him to switch positions with his teammates at the beginning.

"It seems that Modric is still a little unable to withstand the offensive pressure given by Negredo, so it is the right choice to let Leon switch positions and match Negredo at this time."

He Wei explained dryly.

Sevilla fans, on the other hand, began to cheer and applaud as if they had seen Real Madrid's defensive goals.

Real Madrid supporters looked worriedly at the left side of the midfield where Modric was after the switch at the moment.

Because Negredo's position can be very flexible, he is a center forward, which will retreat to the midfield to make a fulcrum for his teammates to comb the attack, and he can run left and right.

Real Madrid's midfield position can't always be changed all the time, right?

The attacking characteristics and playing habits of the two wings are different, and Li Ang is fortunate to say that he used to play in the left and right midfield, and Real Madrid fans are not afraid of his abnormal performance.

But Modric has only been in Real Madrid for a long time, don't wait to integrate into the offensive and defensive rhythm of the team, and change yourself into a dizzy position.

Real Madrid fans' worries are not unreasonable, Modric joined Real Madrid too late, and it seems that he and his new teammates are not familiar with each other in the previous run-in time.

However, as the game progressed, Modric gradually made a name for himself with smooth passing and a wide range of positional runs to help the defense.

His familiarity with the movement of his team-mates on the pitch exceeded the expectations of many Real Madrid fans.

Admittedly, he will do more to sort out the ball transmission in the backcourt, and to supplement the defense and assist the defense, and there is no outstanding performance on the offensive end.

But it's Leon who partners with him.

Today there was Luka Modric to help him sort out the ball at the back, and Matuidi to drag the back defending.

In addition to competing with Negredo on the defensive end, Leon can devote most of his energy to advancing with the ball.

His acceleration ability has improved quite a bit.

Speed Maniac is certainly not counted, but in the midfield, his acceleration ability is already considered first-class.

Steady ball control, fast acceleration, and a precise short pass.

Li Ang used his excellent half-court playmaking skills to make his own flanks attack quite fast.

And the Sevilla fans, who were still shouting happily before, will also feel that the situation on the stadium is not right.

At first, they all thought that Leon would wipe Modric's ass today, and Modric was the playmaker in Real Madrid's new starting formation.

So when Modric was repeatedly deflated in defense before, they even thought that they were going to take control of the midfield.

After all, a new signing with frustrated confidence can no longer effectively organize Real Madrid's attacking rhythm.

As a result, I didn't expect them to completely diverge.

FeelingsMourinho sent Modric on the field today to let him do the dirty work, and Leon is the core of the attack!

Sevilla's midfield defender Medel will not have much to do with Leon.

This "Chilean Bull", who is also famous for restricting Messi's play, is unable to squeeze or drag in the face of Leang's brutal confrontation.

Compared with cadence, Leon is not slower than him, and more than reflexes Leon to surpass him.

After Medel found that he could not play all the defensive advantages of "playing big with small" in the past, he could only resort to foul tactics.

Li Ang was not ambiguous when he saw this, and when there was no good passing opportunity in front of him, he should fall directly.

Well, now Real Madrid's set-piece advantage comes in handy.

Several set-pieces in front of the Sevilla defenders were frustrated.

Li Ang used his solid body to constantly exchange offensive opportunities for Real Madrid, and Mu Shuai and Karanka couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.

Well, this way of launching an attack is a bit strange, but it has an effect~

While the whole Sevilla team was worried about Leon's pig spurt advance, Modric on the other side was constantly prescribing his position.

The Sevilla side defenders didn't notice it.

So when Leon once again advanced with the ball to attract the attention of Medel and Rakitic, Modric got a chance to cut forward on the left side of the half.

Sevilla's right midfielder Nicolas Maduro will be alert and about to chase back.

As a result, Leon's cross-to-the-ground pass had already been given to Modric in front of him who was slightly empty!

"Huh! This is a great opportunity! Leon suddenly crossed to the ground, and Modric took the ball!! ”

Modric, who had been treated almost unguarded, unceremoniously led the ball forward.

However, after seeing Benzema in the middle, Modric was also unequivocal, and directly gave a bold and confident long pass with the outside instep over the top!

"Sao!"

Leon looked at the wonderful arc that came out of Modric's instep, and the word "coquettish" subconsciously came to mind.

This long pass is freehand and chic, and the forward-inserted pot striker seems to have some expectations that his new midfielder dares to pass like this!

Fortunately, his eyes subconsciously caught a glimpse of his brother Luo who was desperately pushing forward.

So he used a near-perfect header to give Ronaldo a fleeting chance to hit the goal!

If you change to other strikers, you may have to struggle with whether to shoot without stopping the ball, but Ronaldo doesn't need to do such a struggle.

He even paused for a moment, waited for the football, and then stretched out his right calf!

A small swing of the leg, but a powerful volley was underplayed by Ronaldo.

Sevilla's goalkeeper Palop reacted quickly and his palm seemed to hit the ball in the first place.

But the ball was so fast that Palop's save was not complete, and the ball still plunged headlong into Sevilla's net after changing its direction slightly!

In just the seventeenth minute, Real Madrid took a one-goal lead at Sevilla's home stadium!

Jose Mourinho and Karanka looked very satisfied and hugged each other in celebration after raising their arms and chanting in front of the coach's box!

And at this moment, after watching the first celebration of Ronaldo and several nearby teammates, many fans followed the switch of the live broadcast camera to look at Modric who was pulling together his long hair!

He smiled with some relief and some relaxation.

And after seeing Leon trotting towards him with his arms outstretched, Modric's eyes seemed to have a light flashing, and he looked very happy!

The two hugged each other tightly, and the fans finally reacted.

This TM is a single-core launch, they were all deceived by Mourinho's opening tactical arrangement!

This is a turbo dual-core engine!

After thinking about it, let's send a chapter on time.
