Chapter 410: A Lesson for Young Mr. Mu
The change in James is gratifying, and Ancelotti sees it in his eyes and is sincerely happy for James.
After all, it is the core of the midfield that he has supported before, and he has always admired the technical characteristics of James, and if he really wants to abandon it, then he will definitely feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, things are not going to the worst, and James is willing to change his style of play and accept his new position in the team, so he has a future at Real Madrid.
Carlo Ancelotti could also match the precedence of James James' appearance.
There may be a bit of selfishness in this, but it is undeniable that a James who is willing to invest heavily on the defensive end will inevitably play a greater role than Kovacic and Marcos Llorente at this stage.
Thinking of this, An Pang couldn't help but remember the second team against the sky that Muhammad's Real Madrid made back then.
In those years, Real Madrid's first team was able to break through Europe for two consecutive seasons, and it was largely thanks to their second team for steadily grabbing points in La Liga and helping the main players of the first team to reduce the burden of the game.
It is no exaggeration to say that the lineup configuration of Real Madrid's second team was single, and it was also able to compete for six in La Liga.
So can the current Real Madrid build a second team with superior strength?
Ancelotti feels like he can!
Now the strength of Real Madrid's forward benches must not be comparable to that of the year, after all, the two powerful stars of Morata and Callejon are gone.
Mariano on top can only be said to be just enough, and Hesse also lacks the aura of the past after his serious injury.
Fortunately, the substitute strength of Real Madrid's midfield has not declined much compared to before.
Just imagine, let Hames, Llorente and Kovacic form the midfield trio of Real Madrid's second team, the defensive ability is indeed slightly worse, but the control is not weak at all.
Together with Achraf, Nacho, Varane and Danilo in the backline, such a set of substitutes is also used to play in La Liga.
Not to mention the miracle of the second team that Real Madrid used the second team to play strong opponents in the league, and held those middle and lower opponents, the main players of the Real Madrid first team can devote more energy to the Champions League...
In the case that the live camera did not pay attention, Ancelotti suddenly lowered his head and smiled, obviously in a good mood.
Zidane saw Ancelotti's unusual performance, but he only thought that Ancelotti was happy because of the team's lead, and did not know that the head of their coaching staff had planned to go back to the experiment of forming a second team after this game.
The young Real Madrid players on the bench didn't know that their opportunity had quietly arrived.
The first half of the game quickly came to an end.
James James' opener opened the door for Real Madrid, and Isco doubled their lead to two goals with a long-range effort from outside the box in first-half stoppage time.
In the 62nd minute of the second half, after Li Ang scored Real Madrid's third goal of the game, Ancelotti made a direct substitution adjustment.
Leon, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric were all rested, while Mateo Kovacic, Llorente and Mariano were given the chance to feature.
Three days later, Real Madrid will travel away to face Monaco in the second round of the Champions League group stage.
Now that the decision has been made to increase the frequency of rotation this season, Carlo Ancelotti simply rotates to the end in today's league game.
It can also be regarded as giving the three central midfield players more time to rest.
In the end, the score of the sixth round of La Liga was fixed at 3-0.
Real Madrid also made it six league wins in a row in the new season, and they have topped the table, leaving rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid behind.
Coupled with the victory in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid has now won seven consecutive wins in the new season, and its hot form has attracted the attention of the media across Europe.
In this case, no one thinks Real Madrid will have any trouble in the Champions League group stage.
After all, Real Madrid has easily suppressed PSV Eindhoven in the first round of the group stage, and there is no reason why they can't get a Monaco that looks about the same level as PSV Eindhoven in the second round.
Public opinion is almost one-sided, optimistic that Real Madrid will easily win two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage.
It is also in this situation of all-European touting that the confident Real Madrid ushered in the Champions League group stage showdown with Monaco.
It's not the first time Leon has been at the Stade Louis II.
He and his team-mates won the UEFA Super Cup here against Atletico Madrid, and for him, the stadium is a place of great memories.
But playing against Monaco here was his first experience.
If you want to talk about the impression of this old Ligue 1 powerhouse, Leon's first reaction is that they almost created a miracle in team history in 2004 and won the Champions League.
It's a pity that they met Mourinho's Porto in the Champions League final that year and finally lost.
Li Ang also knows that Monaco is a team that often plays European games in Ligue 1, and he still has a lot of experience in European competitions.
Other than that, he doesn't know much about the history of Club Monaco.
However, compared to other Real Madrid stars, he is very familiar with many of the young players in the current Monaco first team.
In addition to the tiger Falcao he played against back then, and Mbappe, the "director of M" who is destined to be famous in the football world in the future, Leon can only say that all the Monaco team are acquaintances!
Lemar, Bernardo Silva, Fabinho, Bakayok, Moutinho, Glick, Subaic......
This is simply a treasure trove, and if you want to talk about the development potential, the current Monaco team is even more terrifying than Paris!
Leon remembers that Monaco has reached at least the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season, and then the potential players that emerged in the team have almost been looted by the major giants.
Mbappe has also been favored by the management of Paris because of his excellent performance this season.
In the 17-18 season, after going to Grand Paris on loan for a successful "inspection", Mbappe transferred to Grand Paris for almost 200 million euros.
You know, the cost of this huge loan buyout was almost negotiated in the summer of 2017.
Mbappe's talent is terrifying, and at the age of 18, he can make Grand Paris willingly pay such a huge sum of money for him, which is simply outrageous!
But now, Monaco is still stumbling in the Champions League group stage, and Mbappe has not become famous.
Leon will value such a dark horse team and the young Mbappe with explosive strength, but he will not be too nervous in the face of them.
Li Ang has no intention of suppressing young people, but just like ruthlessly suppressing Pogba in this year's Champions League final, Li Ang still has a unique habit of "educating" young stars~
Mr. Mu is the leader of the younger generation in the future football world, and today let Li Ang meet him, and it will definitely be unreasonable if he doesn't train well.
So before the game officially started, Mbappe fully felt Leang's enthusiastic attention to him.
It was an undisguised gaze, and Mbappe looked over and was greeted by a warm smile on Leon's face.
And privately, as a Meilinger, Mbappe certainly knows what Lee's excessive attention to the opponent's players before the game represents.
In the past, as a viewer in front of the TV, Mbappe would coax with his friends, laughing and complaining about which unlucky people were targeted by Brother Lion.
But today, when he became the unlucky man himself, a strange expression quickly appeared on his face.
There is some satisfaction, although he doesn't know why he is being targeted by Li Ang alone, but this has already shown that Li Ang attaches great importance to him and recognizes his strength.
In addition, what filled his heart was more helplessness and depression.
Can the players targeted by Leon still have a good performance on the field?
Mbappe is of course confident in his own strength, but he is not arrogant that he can match the peak Mero now.
And Li Ang is a ruthless man who has fought against the peak Mero and forcibly won the Golden Globe Award all the way upstream!
At the thought that he would face such a formidable opponent, Mbappe was both excited and a little dazed.
But no matter how complicated his emotions are, whether he chooses to back down or summon up the courage to face the difficulties, the game will finally come on time!
The capacity of the Louis II Stadium is not large, and there are no more than 20,000 fans in a full seat.
But at the moment the match officially began, the more than 10,000 loyal Monaco fans in attendance cheered as wildly as possible to cheer on their beloved team!
In that distant and glorious 03-04 season, Monaco just eliminated Real Madrid to enter the Champions League semi-finals that season.
More than a decade later, Real Madrid is still going strong, and Monaco has once again created a young army full of potential.
What seemed to be the same script was distributed to both teams.
Monaco fans are also hoping that the team they support will be able to beat Real Madrid in the face as they did so many years ago!
Maybe it's a distant dream, but in football, who would dare to say that a weaker team doesn't deserve to dream?!
There are so many examples of the weak defeating the strong in front of them, and Monaco personally turned the tables against the wind and forcibly reversed Real Madrid to create a football miracle!
Anything is possible.
Monaco fans are eager, looking forward to it, and the Monaco players on the field are also holding a fiery desire to step on the bones of Real Madrid and become famous!
The young people did not know how to control their emotions, and after the fiery battle was unexpectedly released, the Real Madrid players who were their opponents soon understood their intentions.
The smell of gunpowder soon hung over the heads of the players on both sides.
Real Madrid's stars don't have that much to do and don't get angry at the challenge of their young rivals.
But they were also a little unhappy, and this unhappiness made them enter the game in advance, and wanted to teach the young lads on the other side a good lesson!
However, the situation in reality did not quickly favor Real Madrid's side, but Monaco gave Real Madrid a disadvantage on the offensive end first!
And the side that launched the attack happened to be on the side where Mbappe was.
This was also a deliberate indulgence on Leon's part of the game.
He needs to make his team-mates aware of Mbappe's technical characteristics and breakthrough threat.
With this basic understanding, he will cooperate with his teammates to limit Mbappe's bag clamps, and he will get twice the result with half the effort.
So Carvajal, who started today, suffered first.
Although the degree of bad luck is not as good as McConn, who met Bale at Inter that year, Carvajal also served Mbappe as a background board.
Mbappe, who is still a few months away from turning eighteen, is really fast!
Momentum like a rainbow, fearless, like a tiger in the mountains, he used his speed advantage to kill through the right side of Real Madrid!
With such an arrogant posture and such a sharp breakthrough speed, I don't know how many fans in front of the TV are dumbfounded!
And the live camera was also aimed at Bale, who was on the same side as Mbappe today, after Mbappe was finally stopped by Ramos.
This camera language is very interesting, and many fans are also looking forward to today's speed showdown between Bale and French teenager Mbappe.
But soon, Li Ang who stood up disappointed these fans who watched the excitement.
Allowing Mbappe to break through on the flanks once can give his teammates a wake-up call, but let this kid break through a second time with impunity?
That's a slap in the face!
After Monaco played a set-piece tactic in front, Leon and Modric quietly completed the switch and came to the right side of their midfield.
So when Monaco once again won the offensive ball and Mbappe got the ball on the wing, he looked up and saw Leon's familiar interception.
It's too late to do more dribbling attempts, Mbappe just wanted to step forward with the ball, and he directly ushered in Leon's decisive tackle!
This ferocious tackle forced Mbappe to choose to jump past Leon, and the ball at his feet was quickly passed to Benzema who was running forward after Leon got up.
Real Madrid's counterattack begins!
It was still a smooth passing and cutting coordination, and after just four seconds, Bale sent a cross, and Ronaldo pressed the opponent at the back of the penalty area to shake his head and attack the goal!
It's a pity that the football ended up slightly off the crossbar, and Real Madrid was only two or three centimeters away from the first goal of the game!
Ronaldo hugged his head and roared regretfully, and thousands of Real Madrid fans at the scene gave enthusiastic applause.
This applause is not only for the attacking players in the frontcourt, but also for Leon, who has accurately stopped Mbappe in the backfield.
Three minutes later, Monaco had the ball in possession.
This time Mbappe chose a smart running path, he didn't receive the ball in the midfield first, but did a powerful forward rib insert in the adduction position and then reverse the side!
Fabinho, who had a tacit understanding with him, quickly sent a through ball to the side, and Mbappe held his breath, thinking that this time Leon would definitely not be able to catch up with him easily!
As a result, Li Ang never thought of racing with him to chase football.
After the outbreak started, Li Ang leaned to the side as soon as possible, and then squeezed Mbappe out of the sideline directly!
In this scene, Mbappe looks very thin, but in fact, don't look at Mbappe's age, but his confrontation ability is not bad at all.
That is, Li Ang, a midfield tank with both speed and strength, can do this, change to the general back and forcibly squeeze Mbappe, maybe he will be used by this kid to slip over.
After knocking out Mbappe in the confrontation, Leon managed to catch up with the football and then turned and sent a long ball.
The ball came to the feet of Modric with precision, and another quick counter-attack from Real Madrid was about to begin.
Mbappe, who complained to the referee about Leang's foul to no avail, had a helpless wry smile on his face.
And Leon, who happened to be pacing past Mbappe at this moment, also shook his head.
This action seems to be teasing Mbappe:
You kid has potential, but it's still too tender, and you need to practice!
