Manchester City fans couldn't wait for the news of the draw between Borussia Dortmund and Ajax that they had been hoping for.

Jurgen Klopp proved he wasn't talking big before with a hearty four-goal win away from home.

Dortmund, who basically figured out the strength of the other opponents in Group D, was full of firepower, defeated Ajax in one game, and simply cut off Manchester City's theoretical qualification.

The situation in Group D is now very clear, with Dortmund, who have accumulated seven points from five rounds, occupy the initiative to qualify second in the group.

Ajax, who has five rounds and four points, will have to see if Real Madrid will give face in the last round.

And Manchester City, which has only two points in five rounds, still has to look at Real Madrid's face in the end.

Real Madrid win against Ajax, so they only need to win Borussia Dortmund to qualify for the third place in the group and play the Europa League.

But if Real Madrid are like this one and use a large number of rotation players, and Ajax seizes the opportunity, then they will be directly at the bottom.

Of course, it will only be Ajax and Manchester City who will still be counted, and Dortmund will not think about it so much.

Even if they only need to draw Manchester City in the final round to secure the qualification, for the players of Jurgen Klopp and the Hornets, they just want to win now!

Real Madrid, on the other hand, does not have the slightest psychological burden.

Don't say that Real Madrid doesn't give face and doesn't give a chance, they are already interesting enough to play Manchester City in this round.

Counting the main force, Real Madrid started three starters, Casillas, Leon and Ronaldo.

Among them, Ronaldo didn't play long in the second half and went down, so Manchester City dared to lose 1-2, which really couldn't seize the opportunity.

Jose Mourinho is not particularly concerned about the last two Champions League group games.

It is used for training and allowing Ronaldo to continue to maintain the feeling of scoring goals.

The Real Madrid players who came up in rotation must have to fight.

But you Manchester City and Ajax can't fight a bunch of kids together, that's your own problem.

The recent performance of Real Madrid's youth players has once again caused a lot of discussion among fans in other leagues.

If the appearance of Real Madrid's new five eagles last season was just a pleasure for these fans.

This season, Real Madrid's young players who have been doing better and better have managed to make these fans covetous.

Leon won't say anything.

The Milan version of the little lion who wore a red and black jersey and helped Milan win the double in one fell swoop is still a "regret" that Milan old buddies often talk about.

Nacho, his stable performance on the defensive end has earned him the recognition of many fans, and the jack-of-all-trades attribute has added a lot of points to him.

Vazquez can also play on both sides of the frontcourt, and the statistics are not too outstanding, but it is enough to play rotation, and he can go to whichever side is needed.

Carvajal and Alvaro Morata, who are currently playing more prominently, have been closely watched by many other league teams.

High-quality young full-backs and high-school forwards are scarce in football at all times.

If one day Real Madrid is willing to let these young players except Leon go out for training again.

Needless to say, Carvajal and Morata would definitely be the favourites among them.

Five young talents in their early twenties, plus one who has just been promoted to the first team and currently looks to be full of talent.

The quality of Real Madrid's youth training has been coveted by too many clubs and fans.

The media, who have always said that Mourinho does not need young people, will have long been silent.

With a team as stable and results as it is now, Mourinho can also give young players more minutes and opportunities for trial and error.

You can't ask a manager to produce results in a short period of time and at the same time let him develop youngsters.

It's not easy to change anyone.

Arsene Wenger is now able to enter the Champions League every season with a child, which is actually quite difficult.

In the next few years, Wenger chose to fulfill the "expectations" of public opinion and fans, and after letting go freely, only those who sprayed him at the beginning understood.

How awesome is his ability to train players and support the record!

That's all he can do in football, and no manager has been able to sit in the top four of the Premier League so smoothly and consistently with low investment every season.

Jose Mourinho certainly can't compare to Arsene Wenger in this regard, but his use of young players is also one of the best in football.

Provided, of course, that the young player can accept his way of teaching and discipline.

Fortunately, none of today's young Real Madrid players have a thorny personality, plus Leon and Nacho take the lead.

Mu Shuai's little demon training plan went smoothly, and he didn't feel that any child made him feel uneasy.

With multiple satisfactions, after playing this Champions League game, there is no big problem with the physical fitness of the young players in the team.

So Mourinho decided to give them a surprise reward.

On the evening of November 24th, in the thirteenth round of La Liga against Real Betis, Real Madrid's "B team" continued to start!

Today, Cassie is rested, and Adan has also been given the opportunity to start for the first time in a long time.

Cristiano Ronaldo is in good form and only played 60 minutes in the last game against Manchester City, so Mourinho continued to use him and Leon today.

Today's opponent of Real Madrid, which is also the team that Leon was on loan for the first time, Real Betis is actually not weak.

Real Betis have won six of the first 12 league games and lost just four, and are currently sixth in La Liga, ahead of Sevilla and Valencia.

Li Ang also chatted with his former teammates for a while before the game, joking that they should start softer today and not be stunned by their little brothers.

Although they only played together for half a year, Real Betis' current No. 10 core player Beniat still maintains a good relationship with Leon.

"If we hadn't been recalled by Real Madrid at the airport in the summer of '10, we might have been playing in Europe this season, but it's a pity"

"What is European competition, please make it clear, and be confident, old Barry, if we are still working together, we will definitely be playing in the Champions League this season!"

"Hahaha! Okay, okay, little lion, if you really want to stay, I'll give you this number 10 directly. ”

"It's okay, it's not too late for you to take it off for me."

"That's anyway, hehe, I'm just kidding."

"Fuck off. Come on, Barria, go for a spin in the Europa League next year and don't forget to leave me your shirt after the game. ”

"No problem!"

The pre-match hug and exchange between the two was friendly and cordial.

But when the whistle blew at the start of the game, both were the hardest working midfield cores on the field.

The same backward position, the same offensive and defensive rhythm.

Both Beniat and Leon have made significant progress after two years respectively.

In addition to being inferior to Leon in terms of physical fitness and defense, Beniat is actually not weaker than Leon in terms of organization and ability to send threatening balls.

Therefore, the competition between the two on the same stage today is also quite exciting, and they can be regarded as having contacts in terms of performance.

However, Leon still relied on a more solid and powerful defense to make a big splash on the interception end.

Real Betis' current top scorer, and Castro, who scored 16 league goals last season, is a diminutive, agile opportunistic striker.

His shooting skills are very good, and he has a strong ability to grasp opportunities, but he still eats the pass of his teammates.

Therefore, the better the interception on Leon's side, the more uncomfortable Castro will play.

After all, Real Betis has less offensive possession and less ability to deliver offensive shells, isn't it the most uncomfortable for him.

At the critical moment, Real Betis still has to look at Beniyat, the core of the midfield.

He delivered a crucial penetrating long pass from the back in the 32nd minute of the first half!

Castro's lateral run before starting made him very clever against offside!

Carvajal's slightly farther attacking position became a hole in Real Madrid's defence at this point.

Nacho was thrown off by Castro's running position for the first time, but he had the advantage of acceleration in the rear and did not panic.

But he didn't expect Castro to decisively choose to shoot at the moment he just stepped into the line of the Real Madrid penalty area!

This is the keen sense of smell and empirical judgment of a 31-year-old striker!

Adan immediately thought about attacking and cooperating with Nacho to destroy Castro's half-solo chance.

So he didn't expect Castro to be so confident, pressing on the line of the penalty area and shooting directly.

This push shot Castro hit very well, the ball speed was not particularly fast, but it was close to the turf and slightly jumped and aimed at the far corner of the goal!

Adan kicked the ground and stretched out his arm to reach the ball for the first time, but the two steps he took laid the groundwork.

The angle of this ball is too awkward, and he can't rub even a little bit of the ball skin with all his milking strength!

The ball rolled slowly but surely towards the far corner of the goal.

But just when Castro was in ecstasy, a white figure accelerated towards Real Madrid's goal with the same determination!

"Leon is still chasing back !!"

Movistar's La Liga commentator yelled, and at this moment his voice seemed to be about to burst!

Almost at the moment when the football line was pressed, Li Ang "threw himself" out, and seeing that the distance was still a cut away, he could only boldly choose to stab hard!

Don't get me wrong, it's not a toe poking the ball into the goal, and Leon doesn't want to make headlines about an own goal right now.

In the end, he used dexterity and tried his best to poke the ball horizontally with his toes!

At the last moment, it must be too late to hook the ball out, so Li Ang can only gamble.

Betting that he can change the direction of the ball slightly, even if the ball still rolls inside the goal at the end, at least he can buy an extra second or two.

He was also betting that his team-mates didn't give up and could get the ball out of his own box before the Real Betis players could make a follow-up shot.

These two steps, one wrong step, Real Madrid can't change the result of being scored by Real Betis first.

The moment Li Ang stabbed the ball, the whole person also slammed into the goal post sideways.

It hurts!

Under the huge force, Li Ang only felt a pain in his thigh muscles and waist and abdominal muscles.

Thankfully, he saw Nacho in front of him in the next second!

The ball finally changed direction and was about to cross the line before it was kicked out of the penalty area by Nacho!

The Real Madrid fans who were not enough to do this were not happy, and they looked at Li Ang lying in their penalty area with a worried and anxious face!

"Team Doctor !!"

Fine sweat broke out on Mourinho's forehead instantly, and he yelled for the team doctors to hurry up and check on Leang!

In the chaotic Real Madrid penalty area, Castro, who had just missed the opportunity to score, could not care about his frustration, and he rushed to Leon with the Real Madrid players and surrounded him protectively.

"Don't move! Don't touch him little lion, how do you feel? ”

Nacho yelled and opened up a certain amount of space, and also looked anxiously at Leon who was lying on the turf with an uncomfortable face.

"Pain"

Leon exhaled in a short voice that startled all the players around him.

Castro even covered his mouth and glanced at Leon's lumbar spine, his eyes full of panic and unbearable.

But after a few short breaths of tentative breathing, Leon propped up his hands and half-sat up again!

Castro's eyes widened, and the Real Madrid backfield players such as Nacho and Adan were even more startled and hurriedly stepped forward to support Leang.

"Didn't you just say it hurts"

"Whew, it hurts! Can you hit such a big column muscle without pain? ”

"Bruises?"

"Ah, I still feel my muscles hurt! However, the joints and bones should be fine. ”

"Then you were lying on the ground and making that expression!"

"Don't you talk nonsense, I don't need time to feel my joints hurt?"

Seeing that Leon had already rolled over and stood up on his own, and still had the energy to argue with Nacho, the corners of Castro's mouth twitched.

Feelings just now he was worried in vain.

However, such a ruthless blow was just a hard injury, and Castro had to sigh in his heart:

"This kid's body is really tough!"

Mourinho will also cover his forehead and be happy and angry.

He remembered a time before when Li Ang made dangerous defensive moves in order to disrupt the opponent's offensive opportunities, and he also scolded Li Ang at that time.

But now it seems that Leon did not take his warning to heart.

Looking at the performance on the field, Li Ang's approach is very professional, and his spirit is commendable.

But Mourinho would also really like to see Real Madrid scored first than see Leon make these dangerous defensive choices again.

Is it possible that if you are lucky once or twice, you will be lucky again and again?

"This bastard boy!"

After scolding, Mourinho looked at Leang, who had begun to try to jump under the examination of the team doctors, and his heart was also relieved.

Soon the game continued, and Li Ang did not even go to the sidelines to receive observation and treatment from the team doctor, and this endurance of physical fitness also left a deep impression on today's referee team.

After the episode passed, Li Ang helped Real Madrid escape with a wonderful and thrilling personal recovery performance.

The direct connection between Beniat and Castro has also caught the attention of Real Madrid's defenders.

However, Carvajal did not retreat because of this.

He still maintains an attacking position, and Mourinho also stressed the need to continue to keep pressure on Real Betis' defence.

Because Real Betis' defense is actually at the level of the middle of La Liga, but their goals are currently in the top four of La Liga.

Therefore, if Real Madrid does not seize the offensive initiative and hand over midfield control, it will be exactly the scene that Real Betis wants to see the most.

They prefer to go on the offensive and are confident that Real Madrid's rotating defence will find an opportunity to break through.

No matter how good Leon is, without Alonso and Essien to partner him today, he can't always protect the entire central midfield at all times.

Real Betis will always be hoping to catch Matuidi and Luka Modric's defensive mistakes.

It's a pity that Mourinho just won't give Real Betis a chance to press in full.

It can be said that in terms of offensive hedging, Real Betis has always been the loser.

Their defense is mediocre.

After Beniat needs to be more distracted and defence-oriented, he can only be more than capable of attacking the organization.

The two teams ended up in a draw in the first half, but the trust that Jose Mourinho and the Real Madrid players had in Cristiano Ronaldo was rewarded first.

In the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo did not perform too well under the targeted defense of Real Betis, and he did not get too good attacking opportunities.

But in the 57th minute of the second half, in a quick pass and cut with the ball in front of him, Ronaldo stopped and shot in one go!

He didn't give Real Betis goalkeeper Adrian the slightest time to react, and the ball was played quite crisply and beautifully!

It was just such an opportunity, but Ronaldo seized it, and Modric, who received the assist, felt incredible.

The pass he gave was actually not pretty, it was just an ordinary over-the-top pick attempt, but Ronaldo's shot was hard enough!

Real Betis' defenders really didn't make any mistakes, and they can only say that they are unlucky when they encounter superstar flashes.

Li Ang was replaced by Mu Shuai in the 68th minute of the second half, in fact, he felt that it was unnecessary, but under Mu Shuai's glaring gaze, he could only obediently choose to trot down.

Alonso and Essien warmed up one after another, and the scorer Cristiano Ronaldo was also replaced.

In the last 20 minutes, Real Madrid played a little conservatively, but under the system of three backs, even if Li Ang was off, Real Madrid still held quite steadily.

The 1-0 score lasted until the end of the game, and after a narrow win, Real Madrid increased their league win to 12 games.

However, Barcelona, which also played away the next day, also defeated Levante 4-0, and Real Madrid continued to soar at the top of the table.

This picture looks like it is going to compete to the end, and the momentum has made countless fans shout "Perverted!" ”

The other league leaders are basically four or five points away from the second place, and the record of the top team is not so outrageous.

Bayern has lost one game so far, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are still undefeated.

This lead has made fans of other La Liga teams despair.

In the past ten years, only Valencia, a non-"La Super" team, has won the league title in the entire La Liga, and the rest of the time La Liga has been a two-man transfer.

And now looking at the posture, Huang Sa is afraid that he will not rule La Liga for the next ten years.

It can only be said that the fans of the rest of the La Liga teams are really bitter.

The Copa del Rey competition resumed immediately after the thirteenth round of La Liga.

On Real Madrid's side, Mourinho sent a starting lineup of half main force and half rotation to face it.

Leon and Ronaldo finally made a truce and began to rest.

And Morata and Nacho's rotation players have played enough games in recent times, and they have been spinning without stopping.

However, they have plenty of energy and energy.

For them, Jose Mourinho started several games in a row, which was the reward they were hoping for.

Of course, this reward will come to this round of the Copa del Rey.

After a 3-0 win over Alcoiano to reach the next round of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid's main players began preparations for the league against Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid has been in the limelight recently, and there is a bit of momentum to turn over and compete for the seat of the Madrid speaker.

With 11 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, Atletico Madrid, who accumulated 34 points in the first 13 rounds of the league, is now ranked third in La Liga, three points behind Real Sax.

In this way, they do have the qualifications to challenge Real Madrid again.

And a number of Real Madrid stars also feel that it is necessary for them to use another head-on defeat to make the whole Atletico Madrid team aware of one thing.

That is, Atletico can get 34 points in the first 13 rounds, that is, they can only get 34 points, and the ceiling is here.

But Real Madrid got 36 points against teams outside of Barcelona, and that's because these teams can only let Real Madrid brush up on those 36 points.

OMG in Madrid.

Can't turn it over!
