Chapter 404: The Brutal King of the Champions League
Li Ang's "heartwarming" speech made Ronaldo receive a lot less criticism after the game.
However, this is not because Spanish journalists have found out in conscience that they should not go to the black one to win the European Championship, and they need more time to adjust their form to meet the supergiants of the new season.
But because Li Ang's speech brought himself into the field of public opinion, many Western media reporters turned around and wrote about the personal friendly relationship between Li Ang and Ronaldo to gain some traffic.
There is no need to ridicule Li Ang, after all, Li Ang is now the popular fried chicken in the entire La Liga league, and Western media reporters are also pointing to Li Ang's various hot topics for dinner.
annoyed the main owner, and if Leon's team didn't accept their interview, the loss would be great.
But you can't be ridiculed on the surface, and it's okay to question it around the corner.
Ronaldo did play abnormally in the first game after returning from injury, and the whole world knows that you have a good relationship between Leon and Ronaldo, but can you protect your friends without brains if you have a good relationship?
If you don't let you say it, don't let it be questioned, then we will continue to question whether Ronaldo still has the strength to serve as Real Madrid's forward ace!
The Spanish media outlets that danced the most vigorously waited for Leon to continue to speak against their criticism of Ronaldo.
They didn't want to really debate the outcome with Leon in the newspaper, they just needed Leon to continue to respond and keep the topic hot.
But Leon was not fooled after all.
He has dealt with too many cunning British journalists in London for the past three seasons.
Compared with the British media, which have a lower bottom line, more flexible methods, and more irritating stars, these media methods in Spain are still a bit immature.
Leon thinks with his ass and knows what these active Spanish journalists are thinking.
Therefore, after he expressed his defense of Ronaldo after the game, he did not accept any media interviews and continued to express his opinions on this.
Just as the group stage of the Champions League of the new season is about to begin, the attention of a large number of neutral fans has also been diverted to the Champions League.
Ronaldo's public opinion environment was suddenly relaxed, which was a few more days of adjustment.
Real Madrid did not win La Liga or the Champions League last season, so they were placed in Pot 2 of the Champions League in the new season.
They are joined in Pot 2 by the likes of Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla and Napoli.
Correspondingly, there are very few teams in Pot 3 and Pot 4 of this year's Champions League that can be called strong.
By the way, only Tottenham, Lyon and Monaco can pose a certain threat to the giants in the first two pots.
Leicester City were the dark horses in the Premier League last season, and even pressed Arsenal to finish third in the Premier League.
But to be honest, no media outlet is optimistic about the Foxes' performance in the Champions League in the new season.
Arsenal is a regular in the Champions League, and it is easy to break through to the group stage and enter the round of 16 every year.
Leicester City?
If you don't finish at the bottom of the group stage this year, you can count it as a success!
Real Madrid, as a super giant in the second pot of the Champions League, did not meet the traditional rivals in advance.
After being drawn in the same group as Benfica, PSV Eindhoven and Monaco, the Millingers are celebrating in advance that they will secure the right to top the group.
Real Madrid is also quite satisfied with this season's Champions League group stage signing.
The three opponents seem to be the top second-rate teams in Europe, and they really can't see which of these three teams can be tough with Real Madrid.
Only Leon sang a little contradiction at this time, signaling his teammates not to relax too much, at least to evaluate their strength after playing with these three teams.
Although he mentioned it more vaguely, many Real Madrid players also noticed the Monaco forward combination that he mentioned many times.
"Tiger" Falcao, who has shone in La Liga, and another young French player, Mbappe?
For Falcao, the superstars in the Real Madrid team still respect and recognize it very much, after all, they are powerful stars who have played against each other on the same stage.
But this Mbappe, at first glance, is Monaco's academy kid who was only promoted to the first team this season.
Does he understand that he is playing in Ligue 1 now? It's a miracle that they can play in the Champions League at the age of 17.
For the first time, Director Mu's name was remembered by a group of superstars.
Of course, as the Champions League progresses this season, his name will also resound throughout Europe and the world.
As long as his performance can still be as brilliant as Li Ang's memory, amazing...
……
On the evening of September 13, the 2016-2017 Champions League season officially kicked off.
A total of 14 teams will take the stage in tonight's big game.
But the only strong conversation that attracted the attention of fans was the one between Grand Paris and Arsenal, and the rest of the games were basically with strong teams, and the ratings would be slightly higher.
After more than 90 minutes of fighting, only three games were decided, and the remaining four were drawn.
And in the three games that were decided, Barcelona and Bayern both completed the slaughter of their opponents.
Both teams won by four goals, and they played a super strong team in the first game.
The two teams of "Sajen" made a perfect appearance, and the pressure naturally came to the remaining Real Madrid and Chelsea.
On the evening of September 14, Real Madrid hosted PSV Eindhoven to challenge.
In this game, Real Madrid ushered in Pepe's return from injury, but for the sake of insurance, Ancelotti still chose the starting center-back combination of "Ramos + Varane".
Real Madrid's coaching staff also chose the starting formation of 433, Real Madrid's new midfield trio all made their debut, and the BBC combination also continued to start.
On paper alone, Real Madrid have played their strongest starting cards.
On the bench, Real Madrid also sat on Vazquez, Nacho, Isco, Jesse and other star players.
In comparison, PSV Eindhoven's first-team lineup is a bit shabby.
Leon looked on the field, and the only names on the opposite side of the formation were Luc de Jong and Guardado.
The faces of the rest of the players are relatively new to him, and he needs to really feel the quality of these opponents in this game.
At 19:45 Madrid time, the Champions League group stage kicked off on time at the Bernabeu.
PSV Eindhoven, who took the lead in kick-off, did not timid and launched an offensive test against Real Madrid more decisively.
Guardado, who received a return pass from a team-mate, made a brief observation, and then sent a long ball directly from the backfield, and the football went straight to Luc de Jong.
With a height of 1.89 meters and a weight of more than 85 kilograms, the Dutch high school forward is an out-and-out heavy center forward.
PSV Eindhoven opened with him as a bridgehead, and it was inevitable to launch a quick attack.
However, Real Madrid also had a plan to deal with it, and Varane was the first to stand up behind Luc de Jong, and his body was not much better than De Jong.
The two eventually bumped into each other, and neither of them was able to control the ball at all.
Luc de Jong's striker partner Narsin wanted to grab the second point and continue to possess the ball, but Leon did not give him this opportunity and decisively swung the football header to the wing.
Carvajal, who received the ball and stepped forward, quickly slotted into the Eindhoven half.
However, Eindhoven, who lost possession at this time, was very active in defending the whole team, and soon contracted the formation to block the route of Real Madrid's side attack.
As soon as Leon saw PSV Eindhoven's bus stance, he trotted forward to take the ball, and then signaled his teammates to spread out the formation and stand first, not to rush to the siege.
At this time, the coaches and starters on both sides are watching the opponent's formation.
Leon only watched for a moment before he firmly believed in PSV Eindhoven's tactics chosen today.
In the formation of 442, the two forwards also happen to be a classic partner of one high and one fast, with two wings who can attack and defend well, have outstanding passing ability, and have strong ability to assist after inserting......
That chicken-stealing war... Anti-counter tactics definitely don't have to run!
The tactic of sticking to the middle and counterattacking from the side is always a cost-effective deal.
PSV Eindhoven can't play on both wings, but they are also good at counter-attacking, and if they are used well, the Real Madrid backline will still face a great threat.
And it's not difficult to break such an anti-counter tactic, that is, to "scare" in the middle of the reverse lane!
The full-backs on both sides should not go too far forward, as long as they hold down PSV Eindhoven's two full-backs, their two strikers who are not outstanding in the middle will be of little use.
Ancelotti estimated that he quickly saw the lifeblood of Eindhoven's tactics, but before he could make adjustments first, Leon on the field pulled Modric and boldly pressed it up!
Marcelo and Carvajal, who received tactical cues, did not press forward much, and the attacking responsibility also fell to Leon and Modric.
But both of them happen to be the core of the attack at the No. 10 position to tear apart the opposition defence.
So when they abandoned too many reasonable options and began to use their individual ability to repeatedly break through the interceptions of PSV Eindhoven's central players, the balance of the situation on the field was quickly and simply broken!
can't stop it, the two defenders set up by PSV in the middle of the midfield can't stop the two from breaking through in turn!
It was a skirmish of extremely asymmetrical strength.
Leon and Luka Modric were in the Eindhoven half, and once they broke through the mark, the pass they sent was a bullet to the PSV backline!
After only 10 minutes of the opening game, Real Madrid directly brushed the data of four shots on goal.
One of Bale's volleys from outside the penalty area even bounced directly outside the post and went out of the bottom line, almost breaking through PSV Eindhoven's goal!
The team's situation has taken a turn for the worse, and PSV Eindhoven's head coach Cocu can't care about any counterattacks, so he hurriedly commands two full-backs and shadow strikers to settle down to participate in the defense!
With this adjustment, PSV Eindhoven is also equivalent to directly changing the formation to 451, and only one Luc de Jong is left in the frontcourt.
After a full five players were crammed into the midfield to participate in the defense, PSV Eindhoven barely managed to contain Real Madrid's strong attack in the middle.
But before PSV Eindhoven's head coach Coku breathed a sigh of relief, Leon took the initiative to change the way of attacking organization, and at this time beckoned Marcelo and Carvajal to press forward and began to fight in two ways!
Ancelotti watched from the sidelines and almost didn't laugh out loud.
Leon can be regarded as disgusting the head coach of PSV Eindhoven this time.
People originally wanted to use the tactical play of counterattacking on the side to contain Real Madrid's two wings flying together, but Li Ang pushed Eindhoven with a strong push on the middle of the hand.
After going around and around, Real Madrid still played a strong wide attack, while PSV Eindhoven could only curl up in the half.
In short, PSV Eindhoven is to defend in the middle, so don't think about counterattacking, if you want to counterattack, then don't want to defend in the middle!
This invisible tactical clash shows Leon's domineering, but he also built on his own strength to suppress PSV Eindhoven's middle.
Cocu was angry, but there was nothing he could do about it, because there was really no top midfielder in his squad who could withstand the alternation of Leon and Luka Modric.
At this point, after the complete failure of tactical blackmail, all Eindhoven could do was defend with all their might.
Otherwise, do you really ignore the goal difference factor and press out to fight against Real Madrid?
That's the real search for death!
PSV Eindhoven's defensive choice from the heart cleared the last hurdle for Real Madrid's entire team.
In the 28th minute of the first half, after a long siege, Real Madrid finally knocked on PSV Eindhoven's bus and took the lead 1-0 at home!
It was Benzema who scored his first goal in the Champions League for Real Madrid in the new season.
This time, he did not live up to the tactical cover that Ronaldo made for him in front of him, receiving Marcelo's cross and beating PSV Eindhoven central defender Milin's header!
After Real Madrid scored this goal, the morale of the whole Eindhoven team also plummeted.
While the defensive formation is not yet a collapse, there are more and more holes in PSV Eindhoven's backline.
In the 37th minute of the first half, Li Ang stepped forward to receive the ball with his back to the Eindhoven half.
He withstood the defensive interference of PSV Eindhoven midfielder Schwab, and after holding the ball and turning flexibly, he made a gesture to get up and send a direct pass to Benzema behind the PSV Defence.
But just when Benzema stepped forward decisively, he took PSV Eindhoven's other defenders back into position.
Leon knocked the football to Bale, who had been preparing for a long time on the other side!
On the right edge of PSV Eindhoven's penalty area, barely defended after receiving the ball?
Faced with such a good starting opportunity, Bale naturally did not miss it, and once again sent the football into the goal of PSV Eindhoven!
After taking a two-goal lead, Real Madrid's whole team won the game, and Li Ang originally wanted to stabilize the rhythm at this time, but he couldn't stand the frequent requests of Marcelo, who was in form.
As a result, in the fourth minute after Bale's goal, Marcelo directly staged a super performance of one-two on the side, and then entered the Eindhoven penalty area, and assisted Benzema to score twice with an inverted triangle return pass!
Before the half-time was played, Real Madrid had a brutal 3-0 lead over PSV Eindhoven!
And today's game doesn't look like it's going to end with a four-goal win.
What Real Madrid wants is deterrence, slaughter!
