"I said before that Atletico will get stronger and stronger this season, and you guys laughed at me at the time."

On the afternoon of the second day after Zaragoza, the whole Real Madrid squad was doing recovery training, and Leon began to speak.

Modric warmed up beside him and couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

When he only transferred at the beginning of this season, when Real Madrid was going to play the UEFA Super Cup match with Atletico Madrid, Leon also told him that Atletico Madrid was not to be afraid.

Now Li Ang has changed his words too quickly, and he is quite reasonable.

However, the other Real Madrid players did not contradict Leon.

Because before Modric came to Real Madrid to report, Li Ang really said this during summer training, and was ridiculed by many teammates at that time.

Atletico at the beginning of the season is not to be feared, and it is not in conflict with the current Atletico Madrid getting stronger and stronger.

Because in just two and a half months, Atletico Madrid has completed another starting adjustment.

Simeone has made good on the promise he made to Atletico fans after the UEFA Super Cup defeat and has built a team of iron-blooded men.

And in the currently fixed Atletico 442 starting formation.

Diego Costa, who was previously favored by Simeone to correct the starter, completely activated the Colombian Tiger with an excellent fulcrum effect.

After ten rounds of La Liga, Falcao has handed over the data of ten goals and one assist, and the average output of one goal per game is serious.

If Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid face each other again, the hard power will still prevail, but the game will definitely not be as easy to play as in the European Super Cup.

Of course, no matter how difficult it is, the Real Madrid players must still be convinced that they will win in the end.

Leon didn't have a contrary opinion.

The main reason is that he thinks that the restrained relationship between Ronaldo and Atletico Madrid is very metaphysical.

Now Ronaldo is already at the peak of his career, and he is always extra energetic every time he plays Atletico Madrid, and he can always score goals.

Before the game was played, Real Madrid basically defaulted to a 1-0 lead over Atletico Madrid.

Therefore, Li Ang feels that as long as there is no problem with Mu Shuai's thinking now, then Atletico Madrid can still do it this season.

After putting an end to the discussion about Atletico's recent form, the Real Madrid squad is back to training.

There are not a few days left to prepare for the game, and apart from today's recovery training, they have two and a half days left to practice tactics and prepare for Dortmund.

The pressure is still not small.

Real Madrid's rotation players, who want to get a valuable chance to play in the rematch against Borussia Dortmund, have worked extra hard in training.

Here Mourinho is thinking deeply about home tactics and selection.

On the other side, in the German city of Dortmund, Klopp is also struggling with the starting arrangements for the next round of Champions League matches.

In the last round against Real Madrid, he and the Dortmund players lost unwillingly.

Even if they understand that, in fact, from the perspective of the field, Real Madrid stayed at the beginning, and did not try to attack hard at the beginning like them.

Real Madrid's attacking ability to press with all their might has been experienced first-hand, and they admit the gap.

But that doesn't stop them from being unconvinced.

The youth army has this iron-headed temper.

Jurgen Klopp is satisfied with the momentum his team is maintaining, so his struggle is not in the tactical balance of attack and defence.

What he struggled with was whether to make the offensive full, and directly from the personnel arrangement, to strengthen the control and offensive attributes of the midfield.

Such a brain circuit is very Klopp.

There may be another important reason, that is, Dortmund's current squad can only work hard to adjust tactics on the offensive end.

If you want to be more stable defensively, Dortmund's backline is no big problem, and the main problem is still in the "waist".

Kyle is too old, and Swind's ability is not the best in football.

In addition, Dortmund does not have much money to recruit, Klopp just wants to further transform the midfield defense, and he has no recruits if there is no one.

Looking at it this way, it is really better to fill up the offensive attributes, and fight with Real Madrid with offense instead of defense.

If you lose, it's because the goal you scored is not on the other side!

So, continue to strengthen the team's offensive capabilities.

No problem!

Klopp made his own tactical decision.

He chose to lead his disciples to go crazy again.

So when Dortmund's starting list was released on November 6, an hour before the game started, not to mention the Western media, the German media were dumbfounded!

Gundogan started aside, and Kyle was also on the bench.

Jurgen Klopp has chosen to pair Gundogan with Svend!

This is indeed a midfield configuration that Dortmund's attacking attributes are full of at the moment.

Svende + Gundogan + Gotze.

This courage made Mourinho and the Real Madrid players stunned.

At the Bernabeu, Jurgen Klopp and Borussia Dortmund almost completely stole the limelight from the home side that belonged to Real Madrid.

When Lafayette heard the news, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Originally, he also invited some sponsor representatives to come to the Bernabeu to watch the game today.

But now, he sincerely regrets it in his heart.

It's not that he is afraid that Real Madrid will lose, but what he is more afraid of is that Mourinho chooses to defend to the end after knowing Dortmund's aggressive style of play.

That scene and "gorgeous and beautiful" don't match at all.

Winning matches is important, but for Real Madrid's commercial development and global promotion, it is the star-studded cards and the flashy playing scenes that are even more important.

Galeries Lafayette already had a preconceived belief that Mourinho would continue to play conservative tactics.

But when the players on both sides started to play and took up their positions after the opening ceremony, Lafayette was pleasantly surprised.

Jose Mourinho didn't think about sticking to the half-court and playing on the counter-attack.

On Real Madrid's side, only Alonso is dragging behind in front of the defender, and Leon and Modric, who started today, have both the premise!

"It's not four-two-three-one! Real Madrid did not continue to play the starting formation of 4231 today, they will play 433 at the beginning of today! ”

He Wei, who commented on the Champions League focus game today, also felt pleasantly surprised.

He had kept an eye on it before.

Although the guess diagram of the starting formation on both sides has been given in the live broadcast footage, He Wei only introduced the starting players on Real Madrid's side.

Because he had an inexplicable premonition.

He doesn't think Mourinho will choose to sacrifice the field after Klopp's open tactics.

It's not Mourinho's character.

You could say that Mourinho has been conservative in his tactical choices at times, but he is also a very proud man.

How would a mad coach who has already won five trophies this year allow his opponent to make a big splash on his home turf?

Mourinho will not allow such a thing to happen.

This is He Wei's interpretation of Mourinho and the current style of the Muslim Real Madrid team.

And the facts have proved that he is right.

Mourinho is tough!

He's going to have a head-to-head showdown with Jurgen Klopp at the Bernabeu!

Offense vs. offense, whatever field you want to compete in, then I'll compete with you in this field!

The atmosphere at the Bernabeu instantly became more and more passionate!

Many fans who did not watch this game were also surprised and looked forward to the rapid tuning under the reminder of their friends.

This is Real Madrid, which is full of firepower, and last season's goals were the highest in Europe, and there is no one to beat Real Madrid!

Stimulated by the soaring ratings, the media from all over the world also went full full swing to promote the event online at the last moment before the start of the competition.

And when the referee blew the whistle, the Real Madrid players who took the lead in kick-off today also quickly launched a formation and launched a decisive attack on Dortmund's half!

The earth-shattering cheers came from the mouths of the fans of the two teams, and the players of the two teams soon interspersed in the midfield area.

Alonso's first attempt at a long pass found Cristiano Ronaldo first.

After Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled past Reuss's defensive interference, he split the ball to the middle, and then he pulled the side and began to rush forward!

It's a pity that Benzema, who received the ball this time, didn't give the ball over again, and Gundogan, who took the initiative, intercepted the pass, and the offensive and defensive situation on the field also changed!

Leon was also the first Real Madrid midfielder to notice something was wrong and started to retreat.

Modric slowed down, and after Gundogan gave a powerful through ball forward, Modric couldn't keep up with Gotze, who was resolutely forward!

Leon immediately pulled the side and leaned towards Reuss, but Gotze's ball was given to the feet of Grosskreutz, who was running wildly on the other side.

Lewandowski rushed into the Real Madrid penalty area, Grosskreutz's cross was timely, but Pepe, who had already been on guard, took the lead to push the ball out of the box!

Alonso stopped the ball with his back, Gotze rushed forward to interfere, and Lewandowski also retreated to defend Longo in front.

However, with Li Ang's timely response, Brother Long still gave the ball out as soon as possible.

Li Ang decisively began to stride forward with the ball from his own half, and the Real Madrid fans who saw the scene were enthusiastic and kept cheering!

From the start, the game entered a high-intensity confrontation offensive and defensive rhythm.

However, today's referee's whistle is still relatively loose, and in order to ensure the smoothness of the game, he did not blow some small fouls.

So the game scene is quite exciting!

Leon picked up Lagerzer's upper jersey, and Svende pushed Modric's defensive action from the side, but the referee didn't blow it.

It wasn't until the fifth minute of the first half that Di Maria tripped over the calf and fell down by Grosskreutz, who was chasing after him, that the referee blew the first foul of the game!

There is not much for the players and fans on both sides to say.

After all, at present, the referee's blowing penalty scale is similar to that of both sides, and it is good to maintain fairness.

And the players on both sides didn't do any bad foul moves to hurt people.

Those stumbles didn't matter, Di Maria didn't complain, and immediately got up to drive a set-piece to continue to attack.

With both teams focused on the ball and quick attacks, the wingers on the pitch were the focus of attention for fans and commentators alike.

Grosskreutz's level may be poor, but his fitness and willpower are top-notch, and his performance is not bad at all.

Real Madrid's side naturally mainly depends on Ronaldo's play, and outside of Ronaldo, the most eye-catching wing player is not Di Maria.

It's Marcelo!

Mapompong's lively forward penetration caused a lot of problems for Dortmund's right side and even the entire midfield defence.

Because he's a complete X-variant!

When he did the work of a winger as a full-back and did a pretty good job, Ronaldo's adduction or outward expansion became more threatening than usual!

It's just that this will make Leon a little harder.

After all, when Marcelo went up, he also had to follow the forward press, but when Marcelo couldn't go back, he still had to chase back to interfere with Royce's counterattack.

He will be regarded as a real "free man".

It was from his own penalty area to Dortmund's penalty area, from the left to the middle, he could almost be seen!

If you have to put in the energy, he will definitely put more energy on the defensive end than on the offensive end.

But it is precisely because of his "full map coverage".

Real Madrid's left side was not completely burst by Reuss when the offensive firepower increased greatly, and became a defensive weak side that Dortmund could target.

It was Li Ang's desperate running style that made many neutral fans feel that their legs were a little inexplicably sore.

Fortunately, his hard work is meaningful.

Before Gotze and Reus broke through Real Madrid's left side of the defense, Real Madrid found a chance on the right side of Dortmund first!

In the sixteenth minute of the first half, Marcelo took advantage of Ronaldo's containment threat to shake off Piszczek and cut inside!

Advancing to the top of Dortmund's penalty area with the ball, Marcelo chose to distribute the ball to Di Maria, who was inserted into the right side of the Dortmund penalty area!

Marcelo's X variable was very successful in tearing apart Dortmund's backline, and Di Maria's one-point breakthrough also caused chaos in Dortmund's big penalty area!

Seeing that there was no good opportunity to switch feet inside, Di Maria could only extinguish the idea of shooting directly.

Before Subotic could press over, he opted for a powerful lateral sweep!

The Potter was a little bit forward, but he was smart enough not to force the ball and instead took the opportunity to distract Hummels' defence.

Cristiano Ronaldo barely made any adjustments at the back of the goal, changing his left-footed foot shape and pushing directly into the near corner!

Weidenfeller went down to the ground and stretched out his leg to block the ball, but his reaction was a little slower, and he could only look back and watch the ball plunge into the net in the near corner!

Mourinho confidently raised one arm on the sidelines and shook his fist as if everything was under his control!

It is true that the fighting style is spear-to-spear, but the bottom of the blade of this sharp spear in his hand has its own iron shield that can block the opponent's forward stab!

This iron shield is naturally Li Ang!

It seems a little unfair.

Jurgen Klopp came up and handed over the big one, and there really wasn't any more hole cards to play.

But Mourinho can use Leon to cover the defense when he gives it a go.

It doesn't have to be that Leon can force Dortmund's attacking advance every time.

But while Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo managed to make five attempts, Reus and Gotze were only able to make four or fewer attempts in the same amount of time.

In fact, Real Madrid has already won!

A goal conceded in the first half almost determined the passivity of Dortmund's entire tactical set-up.

Even if they pulled a goal back in the 37th minute of the first half, the score was only 1-2.

Real Madrid took advantage of Dortmund's defensive holes in front and behind the pressure to constantly look for attacking opportunities, and the final four goals were their most satisfying results.

And Dortmund is indeed tough enough, and the defense is punctured and does not stop at the offensive end.

They finally scored their third goal in stoppage time, and Leon had already been replaced by Jose Mourinho.

4-3！

This is the end result of both teams letting go of the game!

Jose Mourinho's substitution of Leon in the final three minutes looked a bit overconfident.

But it didn't hurt, at least in the eyes of the fans, the Champions League group stage, which produced a total of seven goals, was worthy of the title of "focus battle" by the media before the game.

On the other side, Manchester City and Ajax, who just drew 2-2, will also be motivated!

One of them is two points in four rounds, and the other is four rounds and four points, but they are not very panicked.

Because now Dortmund is also four rounds and four points!

All three teams still have a chance to qualify, and there is still hope for them.

It's just that in the back, one counts as one, and it all depends on Real Madrid's face!
