Chapter 412: The Golden Globe Award is a certainty
Real Madrid's goal is always to be the champion! 》
"The Heart of a Champion, the Heart of Real Madrid"
The Lion King's Victory Manifesto
"Recasting the glory of the Champions League King"
……
When Real Madrid won two consecutive victories in the group stage in the Champions League, and Li Ang once again vowed to regain the heavyweight championship trophy, I don't know how many European media were excited about it!
The traffic began to rub wildly, and the media supporting Li Ang and Real Madrid were enthusiastically waving their flags behind them.
So much so that when the smoke of the Champions League has dissipated and the major leagues are about to restart, there are still many media discussing the prospects of Leon and Real Madrid this season.
If you are a player from a non-giant club, in the face of such a huge amount of attention and discussion, it will definitely affect the preparation and training.
However, for the stars of the Real Madrid team, this feeling of being in the spotlight is also taken for granted.
After a five-day break in the heat of public opinion, Real Madrid welcomed the seventh round of La Liga challenge at the Bernabeu at home, Eibar.
The team, who finished 14th in La Liga last season, can't put too much pressure on Real Madrid.
Eibar have done a decent job in the lower middle of La Liga this season, with their defensive work in mind.
But that's just better than other normal teams.
For Real Madrid, Eibar is a team that must be fed into their stomachs.
Just a few days ago, some of Real Madrid's stars and Li Ang recorded a video celebrating Huaguo's National Day for Huaguo fans, and today is October 2nd.
So it couldn't be better to give a big win to the fans of Huaguo as a gift.
On the afternoon of October 2, Madrid time, Spain, the 7th round of La Liga, which attracted the attention of Chinese fans, kicked off on time at the Bernabeu.
At this time, it is just over 10 o'clock in the evening, which can be described as a golden time to watch the game.
Therefore, as soon as this game was broadcast, the live broadcast ratings in China grew like a rocket!
La Liga's top brass has taken Real Madrid's soaring overseas ratings this season very seriously.
At this moment, looking at the overseas real-time ratings obtained by this not popular league between Real Madrid and Eibar, several bigwigs couldn't close their mouths with laughter!
This terrifying overseas ratings represents a supermarket that La Liga can tap!
God knows how depressed and angry these La Liga bigwigs were when Li Ang chose to switch to the Premier League when he was about to become popular.
Especially after Leon won the Ballon d'Or in his second season with Chelsea, and brought a huge amount of business endorsement for Chelsea and the entire Premier League from China.
Several big names in La Liga have been running to try to bring Leon back to Real Madrid, and no matter how small the hope is, they have never given up.
Florentino was able to make up his mind to bring Leon back to the Bernabeu at all costs this summer, with the endorsement and support of the La Liga hierarchy behind him!
This does not mean that La Liga will fully support Real Madrid in the future and give Real Madrid many hidden benefits.
But after Leon's successful return to La Liga and once again bringing a huge amount of attention and commercial value to La Liga, at least one thing, the top management of La Liga can guarantee Real Madrid.
That is, they will not have any bias in the policies that support Real Madrid and Barcelona in the future, and will try to be fair.
That's more than enough for Real Madrid.
As for Leon, La Liga will of course give more "protection" and will further increase publicity.
These are all things that the FA has done in the past, and it turns out that the FA's favouritism has paid off enormously for the Premier League as a whole.
Leon is now one of football's supergiants, and of course is entitled to enjoy more invisible conveniences on the pitch.
In the past, Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi also came over like this, and their strength reached the peak level, so they naturally passively became the spokesperson and volleyball player of a certain league.
Naturally, Leon knew this, even if he didn't take the initiative to find out, but after he joined Chelsea and successfully played a super performance, Mendes took the initiative to explain it to him.
However, Li Ang never thought of using this "privilege" to benefit himself on the court.
People don't offend him, he doesn't offend people, although occasionally fierce conflicts with opponents or even end up on the field, but Li Ang also stands up for his teammates.
And after the Premier League made several big moves on the pitch and was finally protected by the FA's top management, Li Ang rarely encountered the kind of thorny player who deliberately found fault with him.
Not only in the Premier League, but also in the Champions League, and even in La Liga now, Leon has encountered opponents who are playing the game seriously.
A team in the middle and lower reaches of the league like Eibar would not dare to step on the minefield drawn by the league's top management.
Maybe when they attack the strong with the weak, their confrontation actions will be a little bigger than usual, but they are basically within a reasonable range.
Otherwise, if they play any lethal tactics against a team like Shanghuangsa, they will be punished accordingly by the referee team sooner or later.
Without the ruthlessness of Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao, Eibar's resistance to Real Madrid would hardly be tough.
Eibar lasted only 20 minutes before Real Madrid, who were out of form, scored the goal.
Sergio Ramos opened the scoring today, and seven minutes later, Pepe took the opportunity to stab home from a corner scuffle!
Real Madrid reversed and flew today, and Marcelo even came close to scoring from distance in first-half stoppage time.
It's just that the two super strikers didn't have a good head on their feet today.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Berga had 11 shots on goal in the first half, only two of which were on target, and Benzema was confident in the shots.
But I don't know if I ran out of goals in the first few rounds.
In the second half of today's game, Leon and Isco took turns feeding Benzema the ball, but Benzema chose to put the pot on his back first.
After kicking two solo chances in succession, the pot striker couldn't help covering his face, and Ancelotti and Zidane were also stunned off the field.
However, even if Real Madrid squandered the opportunity, they did not suffer the retribution for conceding a goal.
Leon took the lead and Casemiro solidified the midfield defence, and then slotted past Eibar's goal with a long-range shot from the edge of the attack, which sealed the win.
Asensio, who came off the bench late in the second half, scored with a beautiful strike to end the victory.
With four goals and a clean sheet against Eibar, Real Madrid ushered in a seven-game winning streak at the beginning of the new season!
And Li Ang also used his outstanding performance of passing to give the domestic fans who are enjoying the holiday a National Day gift.
After this round of league play, the international break begins.
The main players in the Real Madrid first team, except for Li Ang, have rushed to report to the national team, and they are basically the backbone of their respective national teams.
Many of the substitutes in the Real Madrid squad are actually the main players or important rotations of their national teams.
So when it comes to the international break, there are basically not a few players left in the Real Madrid first team.
Leon, who stayed in Madrid, could only play training matches with Castilla's academy players.
However, during the international break, Li Ang did not stay in Madrid to practice to the end.
On the morning of October 8, he appeared on the streets of London and was photographed by journalists in England having lunch with Mourinho's family.
After returning to the Cobham training base in the afternoon, Leon arrived at Wembley Stadium on time and sat in a box with John Terry and Frank Lampard.
Today, when Leon returned to London, in addition to catching up with Lao Mu, he was invited by his old teammates to watch a world preliminary match of the England national team.
The midfielders in England are still in the process of being renewed, and the configuration is not very luxurious. But the quality of the backline is already one of the best in Europe.
Kieran Trippier, who was developed by Jose Mourinho to play at left wing-back, is now a left-back starter for the England national team.
He and Harry Maguire, who moved from Everton to Chelsea in the summer window, and Tottenham's Kyle Walker, form the new steel-backed backline for the England national team.
Maybe the star flavor is not as good as the old England backline, but the combination strength and defensive effect are not far behind.
England's opponent Malta in today's World Preliminary Tournament was not strong, and in the end, Leon saw an asymmetrical game of comprehensive suppression on the spot.
England ended up slaughtering Malta 5-0 at Wembley Stadium!
And the brightest star in the national team is not Rooney or Harry Kane, but Harry Maguire, who sent the ball into the Maltese goal one after another in set-piece opportunities!
Ma Datou's brace twice, coupled with his tough performance on the defensive end, was in the limelight for a while, and won the recognition and popularity of fans across the UK.
Leon is also sincerely happy for Maguire when he sees Maguire playing better and better on the field.
Staying at Chelsea in the future, with the guidance of Mourinho and the help of Thiago Silva, Maguire's performance will at least not have a cliff-like decline.
His performance in the national team will largely surpass the "overweight" Magui in Leon's memory.
"Maybe England in '18 and '20 have a chance to win the tournament?"
The thought of England returning to the World Series even crossed Leon's mind.
However, thinking of the rapid growth and maturity of the French team in the next two years, Li Ang smiled and shook his head.
In the next few years, the gimmick of the Anglo-French war should be hyped up by the media.
Li Ang is also looking forward to how many exciting scenes will be produced by the collision of the two teams......
Li Ang, who stayed in London that night, happened to invite his old teammates to dinner and catch up.
However, that was the end of his rest, and the next morning Leon flew back to Madrid, not continuing to watch the next World Cup match of the England national team.
His early return to the team can be regarded as a reassurance to Real Madrid's coaching staff.
With the international break over, professional footballers from all over the world are returning to Europe to prepare for the next round of league and Champions League group stages.
Real Madrid's first team did not suffer too serious FIFA injuries this time.
Except for Pepe, who suffered a slight strain in the national team, the rest of Real Madrid's main players are still in good health.
However, under the advice of the team doctor and Zinedine Zidane, Ancelotti finally chose to rotate some of the main players in the eighth round of La Liga.
Leon is certainly not on the roster of rotation players.
Just as he was relied on by Jose Mourinho and Allegri back then, he is now also a member of Carlo Ancelotti's squad that cannot be easily rotated.
On the evening of October 15, Li Ang continued to start the team against Real Betis.
With Ronaldo and Bale resting in turn, and Benzema playing a ghost, Leon must take on the burden of attacking in the frontcourt.
In order to further reduce the defensive pressure on Leon in this round of the league, Ancelotti also directly chose to play a double midfielder, allowing Casemiro and Kovacic to wipe Leon's ass together.
Li Ang, who has returned to the forward position after a long absence, is full of firepower.
In the face of the team that once accepted himself and allowed himself to play in the professional league, Li Ang did not relent.
By the end of the first half, he had already scored a brace with an overhead kick to give Real Madrid a two-goal lead.
In the 72nd minute of the second half, Li Ang assisted Isco, who came on as a substitute, to score the third goal of the game for Real Madrid!
Real Betis collapsed and were beaten at home to Real Madrid.
Although Leon did not show mercy on the field against the team he played for in the past, he did not choose to celebrate after scoring a goal.
After the game, he hugged and exchanged jerseys with his old partners who had worked together in the past.
In general, after the game, Leon and Real Betis fans gave each other warmth.
But three days later, Li Ang, who was sitting at the Bernabeu to face Benfica, directly turned into the big devil of the stadium, and brutally slaughtered the opponent again with Ronaldo!
Originally, in this Champions League group stage, Li Ang just planned to sit in the backfield, based on defense, and lead the team to win steadily.
But after Isco was tackled by the opponent's reckless foul in the first half and left the field, Li Ang became irritable for a long time!
He put the burden of dragging the defense into the hands of Casemiro, and then kept asking for the ball to force the attack on Benfica's midfield defence!
With the anger of Li Ang, he directly filled up the confrontation ability with all his strength, and for a while, Benfica's midfield can be described as a chicken flying and a dog jumping, and no one can escape the brutal impact of Li Ang!
And after Leon forced out Benfica's midfield defense with a point, Modric inserted and sent threatening passes one after another in the first half to assist Ronaldo and Leon to score!
In the second half, Li Ang took the lead and scored a brace in the front set-piece.
Ronaldo got the penalty opportunity created by Marcelo, and it was achieved overnight, and he also scored a brace!
And before the end of the game, Berneche scored another goal!
Real Madrid finally defeated Benfica 5-0 at home, beating three opponents in the Champions League group and further occupying the top position!
Li Ang also once again sparked heated discussions among fans from all over the world through his strong performance in two consecutive games.
After all, it's almost the end of the year, and fans are also interested in the topic of this year's Ballon d'Or.
Originally, Ronaldo won the European Cup this summer and would be the biggest opponent on the road to defending the Golden Ball title.
However, Ronaldo's form in the new season has been up and down, and the performance in the Champions League is good, but the performance in the league is relatively average.
Leon himself is also competitive, and has been playing well since returning to Real Madrid in the new season.
The hot topic in football in recent months is Li Ang anyway.
With the strong performance of the team in the past two games, Li Ang's odds on the Golden Ball Award have once again left Ronaldo far behind.
Countless fans believe that this year's defense of the Golden Ball Award by Li Ang should be a certainty!
