It is always said that Mourinho is only good at using a powerful all-round midfielder, which is a rather ridiculous stereotype.

You could say that Mourinho is so demanding in the midfield and in the attacking core that he is too critical of many players who are not strong enough.

Under heavy pressure, these players were also limited in their performances, and ultimately did not meet the expectations they had received when they joined Jose Mourinho's team.

But when the players are good enough to do the heavy tactical tasks that Mourinho has put in place, they tend to be able to perform superbly.

Deco and Frank Lampard's metamorphosis goes without saying.

Just talking about how strong Sneijder was inspired by Mourinho in the past few years, most fans and industry insiders must know it.

Luka Modric is one of those players in the industry.

He did not have the slightest doubt or dissatisfaction with Mourinho's previous lack of rush to make himself play, and the requirement to arrange himself to focus on defending first in this game.

Now it turns out that his patience and trust are totally worth it.

Jose Mourinho knows what he's best at and how to use him.

That's why he was asked to train with his teammates first, and also asked him not to rush to go head-to-head with Sevilla's midfielders when he first started.

"Don't be in a hurry this season, adapt first, play more games, I will arrange for you to play with Li Ang more, after he attracts the main defense of the opponent's midfield, you will find another opportunity to step forward and launch an offensive rhythm..."

Jose Mourinho's words of patient comfort before the game were once again in Modric's mind.

Adapt to the new league, adapt to the new tactical system, adapt to the different pace of the game from the Premier League, and then talk about performance.

These are the modest requirements Mourinho has set for Modric.

And now, Modric has also repaid Mourinho's trust in him with his fairly good performance.

It doesn't take an entire season to get used to training, and after a decade of getting acquainted with his new team-mates, Modric is already able to successfully plan the attack.

His adaptability and ability exceeded many expectations.

From the combing and organization at the back, to the defensive assistance, to the threatening pass at the end, his play in different positions in the midfield surprised countless fans.

Perhaps, it also includes Mourinho, who is already very optimistic about him.

At present, only Leon should know clearly what level Modric's ceiling is at.

"Well done, Luka, if there's a good chance in the back, you can step forward, don't worry about passing mistakes, I'll do the first line of defensive interception"

After hugging and celebrating with Modric, Li Ang specially reminded Modric not to be too restrained and to give full play to his talent in Mourinho's tactical system.

The positive communication between the two has been watched by Mourinho on the sidelines.

He felt like he had nothing to worry about.

Even if Modric still needs a while to develop a good understanding with more of his teammates.

But at this stage, with Leon's "escort", Mourinho feels that Modric should be able to show about seventy or eighty percent of his performance level at Tottenham.

That's enough time for Alonso to get more rest for the Champions League and league fixtures.

"It's the right move, as long as Xavi makes less than 40 appearances, his performance shouldn't be much different from last season."

Karanka sighed with satisfaction.

As Alonso turns 30, Real Madrid's team of doctors, including two fitness coaches, Pintus and Ruiz, have advised not to let Alonso play too many games in the new season.

In fact, the first and middle stages of the season are okay, but I am afraid that Alonso's performance in the second half of the season will be limited by physical limitations and decline significantly.

Or if they suffer more serious injury problems, then Real Madrid's results will inevitably be affected.

Therefore, for Modric, the expectation of the Real Madrid coaching team is not to make him just a glue in midfield or a major rotation.

Mourinho bought him in order to develop him as the new playmaker of Real Madrid's midfield.

Later, Alonso will have to slowly sit on the bench sooner or later if he can accept it.

At that time, one Leon and one Modric will become the two organizational cores of Real Madrid's front and back field.

This is the most ideal model for building Real Madrid's new tactical system after the transition of the squad.

Establish an offensive and defensive duo, Modric has the endpoint Ronaldo in front of him, Peperamos behind Leang, and Casillas is stable, and this central axis can fight for at least another three or four years.

Mourinho's thinking is still very long-term, and he has been thinking about the next few seasons since the time he bought him.

He even thought of spending an entire season on Modric's adaptation and transformation.

Compared to the team, how could he be afraid of other coaches in football?

As long as time and trust are enough, he promises to bring Real Madrid a "super battleship" that can dominate football for four or five seasons!

'Matuidi is also doing well, the summer window has been very successful, and then he has promoted Jesse to the first team, and we are not short of people in the attacking line.

Mourinho was in a good mood and chatted with Karanka again.

And after the game restarted, Real Madrid, who took the lead first, played more calmly.

Sevilla FC did not mess up this time, and they chose to snatch control first in the midfield and Real Madrid.

Rakitic and Medel are both very good individually.

It's a pity that they met Li Ang today, who was not afraid of fighting at all.

It doesn't matter if he loses the ball, Leon uses the running sweeping force that covers almost the entire midfield after full firepower to carry Sevilla's two major midfielders.

Compared with chaotic battles and ball grabbing, Li Ang, who doesn't have too many concerns about physical wear, just wants to say.

All of you in the Sevilla midfielders are happy!

Michelle, who made the wrong tactical choice, watched Leon's heroic performance on the field, and regretted it after a while.

Because Medel didn't control his temper after being annoyed by Leon, he almost completely rushed to people after losing the ball and knocked down Leon from the flank!

Well, a yellow card for Sevilla's main midfielder is ironclad and can't escape.

The key point is that the game will only go to the twenty-eighth minute of the first half!

There are still more than 60 minutes of games to play, and Medel doesn't dare to make too many defensive moves in the future, how can he fight hard with Real Madrid?

Faced with a tough defensive situation in the middle, Michel didn't even wait for half-time, replacing Maduro with Kondogbia in the 37th minute of the first half.

Medela played on the right side of midfield, while Kondogbia came on and dragged back to play in midfield.

The adjustment did not make a big difference, and Modric's play on the left was limited by Medel and fell silent again.

In the face of Kondogbia, Leon also reduced the number of forced advances, and used more long and short passes to mobilize the offensive line and rhythm of the team.

However, Di Maria's play today was not particularly online, and several strong bursts of inward cutting shots did not hit the woodwork, wasting a lot of opportunities.

Real Madrid ended up going into the break with a narrow one-goal lead.

In the second half, Leon switched positions with Modric again, and he continued to play against Medel, while Modric and Rakitic exchanged words.

The Croatian national team is too familiar with each other's playing characteristics and habits, and neither is a strong interception midfielder, so the confrontation is not too fierce.

On the contrary, Li Ang bullied others that Medel had a yellow card, and repeatedly went up to provoke Medel's temperament.

Michelle is almost numb, he didn't expect that Leon, who usually looks calm in his playing style, would have such a messy side!

In desperation, Michel could only make another substitution decision, and in the 62nd minute of the second half, Medel was replaced in frustration and chagrin.

And just a minute before he left the field, he was hugged by teammate Kondogbia in another emotional conflict with Leon and dragged away from the place of conflict.

Otherwise, he would not have been substituted, but received a second yellow card and was sent off.

He was replaced by Sevilla's youngster Campania.

Michelle didn't have much hope for the youngster, only hoping that he could do a good job of organizing the ball, and at the same time not being bullied too badly by Leon on the defensive end.

However, Leon will be able to complete a flexible switch with Modric.

Matuyidi, who was standing behind them, couldn't hold back when he watched this scene, and directly grinned.

Many Sevilla fans shook their heads helplessly, and their midfielders were stunned by the frequent changes between Leon and Modric today.

Medel was replaced early, Leon didn't rush into Condogbia's frontal defence, and Modric didn't have to face too much defensive pressure.

In the face of Campania, which is about the same size as himself, Modric's playmaking performance has been active again.

Once again, Real Madrid stepped up their attack.

In the 73rd minute, Callejon, who came on as substitute Di Maria, overtook the touchline and broke through Rakitic's marking.

Before Sevilla left-back Navarro could press out to intercept, Callejon took in a cross.

Benzema's very spiritual early jump took away Sevilla's high school defender Botia this time.

And another Sevilla veteran central defender who is only 1.83 meters old Sparšić will be difficult to resist in the face of Ronaldo's forward rush and jump.

A powerful header allowed Ronaldo to break through the door guarded by Sevilla goalkeeper Palop once again and complete the brace!

And this familiar scene of killing opponents in a stable rhythm made countless fans who were waiting to see Real Madrid turn off their TVs in advance.

A 2-0 scoreline is common, it's not big, and it's not particularly safe.

But for Real Madrid, who rotated some of the main players today, it is a completely acceptable result.

Despite the fact that Sevilla FC have not been very high in the league in the past two seasons, they are still a tough opponent.

To be able to win such an opponent before the Champions League group stage is still quite satisfactory to Real Madrid fans.

And Modric, who performed well in this game, also won the initial recognition of Real Madrid supporters.

It was a successful debut.

There was no personal data in the account, but the brilliant cooperation of Modric and Leon, and the important role he played at both offensive and defensive ends, still made him successfully selected for the key reports of various sports and Western media the next day.

After playing the fourth round of La Liga (because the previous match coincided with the UEFA Super Cup, Real Madrid's third round of La Liga was postponed).

The Real Madrid team did not have much time to rest, and three days later ushered in the first round of the Champions League group stage of the new season.

Real Madrid have been drawn in a group with Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and old rivals Ajax this season.

Yes, you read that right, Real Madrid are in another group with Ajax.

For UEFA, the current Ajax coaches and players are too lazy to protest anymore, it is really "impossible to say".

Three seasons in a row and Real Madrid in the same group to compete for a qualifying place, can this TM be called a coincidence?!

The operation of the two teams' official promotion can be regarded as old acquaintances, and they have been interacting with each other before the start of the Champions League group stage.

The officials on Real Madrid's side pushed Ajax to cheer them on and let them try Dortmund's quality first.

Ajax's official push also cheered Real Madrid, allowing Real Madrid to help them press more points and goal difference for Manchester City first.

Fans on both sides also started friendly interactions on the Internet.

After all, Real Madrid are aiming to top the group, while Ajax wants to sit in two.

If you can't get out of the line in the end, it's not bad to be able to continue to play in the Europa League, there is always an extra income, and Ajax fans are used to such a process every season.

However, under the guidance of public opinion, the friendly interaction between the two teams made Manchester City quite unhappy.

No, one of you wants to top the group, and the other is confident that you can at least keep the third place in the group.

What's the matter, with our new king of the Premier League, he has no cards, and if he can't get the second place in the group, he can only get out of the fourth directly?

Unconvinced, Manchester City fans began to fight back online.

City's players did not give pre-match interviews to say what they think about this season's Champions League campaign.

However, on the evening of September 18, when the starting candidates of Real Madrid and Manchester City were all released before the game, media reporters from all walks of life instantly became excited.

The whole Manchester City team looks a little unconvinced!

In Real Madrid's home stadium, there is a 4141 formation, how to say?

Want to teach the reigning Champions League champions a lesson in midfield control?

Single back, two midfielders, two wing-backs, dare to put on such a formation, can only be said to be bold enough!

Mourinho also laughed before the game, and he didn't need to agitate his disciples much.

He knows that in today's game, the Real Madrid players who fought back will not perform badly.

When the eight Champions League group games started at the same time that night, the ratings of Real Madrid and Manchester City skyrocketed almost instantly!

Not only in Spain and England, but also in East Asia and the Americas, the soaring overseas ratings have made UEFA's top brass laugh.

They don't care if Real Madrid will upset tonight or how badly Manchester City will lose in the end.

They just want to hug Mancini and cheer him up!

That's what you have to kick.

You Manchester City are not fat, how can the ratings of the first round of the Champions League be so explosive!

At this moment, the Manchester City players, who seem to have added a lot of courage, also launched a heroic forward offensive towards Real Madrid on the field.

They are qualified.

David Silva, Nasri and Yaya Toure do have plenty of technical advantages in midfield.

Even if Real Madrid played a 4231 starting formation today, they were not at all afraid of Manchester City in terms of the number of midfielders.

However, Mourinho still chose to stabilize his hand first and consolidate the midfield defence.

Luka Modric, who started again, was very active in the pull-back support.

The rest of the Real Madrid players were more composure.

In particular, Leon and Alonso tacitly used stable interception and pressure again and again to force back the forward pressure test in the middle of Manchester City.

Manchester City's four attacking midfielders plus the more versatile Tevez still played a very fluid scene when passing the ball.

It is that they have been around Real Madrid's defensive third and frequently looking for opportunities to cut in, but they have never been able to penetrate Real Madrid's midfield interception line.

Almost 10 minutes into the opening period, the situation was still the same.

Manchester City's seemingly sharp attack could not pierce Real Madrid's defensive shield.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, is still grinding with Manchester City in their own half like they have little interest in attacking.

The Real Madrid fans who watched the scene were a little impatient again.

In the past, when Real Madrid chose to withdraw their fists to defend first, it was not such a situation where they were beaten passively.

Many fans couldn't see through what kind of medicine was sold in Mu Shuai's gourd, and the old problem was made again, and they began to boo sporadically.

As soon as Li Ang heard this familiar boo, he sighed helplessly in his heart.

Really, this is the only one in global football.

Ask the fans of other clubs how they booed their players because of a temporary tactical retreat.

Although he was used to it, Leon never felt that it was a habit worth talking about and advocating.

Shaking his head, Li Ang simply blocked out the slightest interference from these boos on himself, and devoted himself to the defensive pressure on Manchester City's attacking players.

In the thirteenth minute of the first half, Luka Modric, who came back to the defense, created a chance for Leon to pack Silva back and forth.

Silva was alert to cross the ball to the middle, but Alonso, who had been prepared for a long time, stepped in to cut off the connection between Silva and the retreating Tevez!

Real Madrid's players in front of the field immediately launched a counter-attacking sprint.

Alonso saw that the strikers on both wings of his side had not run away, so he did not immediately send a long pass, but distributed the ball to Leon, who also started and inserted it.

David Silva was the first to chase back.

However, his partner Yaya Toure has not been very committed on the defensive end.

Obviously, he was stuck in the middle first, and it was difficult for Li Ang to force his way through Manchester City's half.

But I don't know if it was intentional or accidental, Yaya Toure was so slow that Leon broke through the defensive zone between him and Barry directly when he got off the ball!

How can Barry's speed keep up with Leon!

Today he was involved in the attack with Yaya Toure in the first position, and there was no delay, which will only count on Xavi Garcia, who is dragging at the back of the midfield.

However, Leon is not a midfielder who likes to play a dragon sprint.

He caught the trajectory of Ronaldo's inward insertion in an instant, and without hesitation, he directly sent a mid-distance through pass close to the ground!

As if taking off, Ronaldo instantly reversed offside and threw off McConn, who was no longer fast, and at the critical moment when Kompany rushed over to defend, Ronaldo chose to hit the goal directly!

At a distance of about 28 meters from the goal, Ronaldo's heavy artillery is very powerful!

And now Joe Hart, the first god of the English team, who is highly praised in the Premier League, is like a froze, and reacts slowly and makes a save!

His pace was so slow that the ball was almost half a palm ahead of him and hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal!

And nearly 80,000 Real Madrid fans in the Bernabeu also jumped and cheered wildly at this moment!

Leon and Modric both covered their heads at this moment.

Ronaldo first showed his strong thigh muscles to the live camera, and then turned around with a laugh and hugged Leon and Modric warmly!

The stunned Mancini became another enthusiastic object of the live broadcast camera at this moment.

And Mourinho's roar seems to be a slap in the face to Manchester City!

Yes?

You call the new king of the Premier League?!

Write as much as you want, and post as many howling bigwigs.

Tomorrow continues, tomorrow from the morning, foodies have been coding words.

Write as much as you want, send as much as you want, and don't leave a manuscript!
