Mister Legend

Chapter 42
From Li Moody's point of view, the current team atmosphere of Real Madrid's first team is not good. After the players came to the Bernabeu, among other things, they first learned the "excellent" tradition of forming gangs.The Spanish local gang, the Portuguese-speaking gang, the neutral gang, and a spy of a certain coach-or become a diehard loyalist and make a mess in the locker room, but you have to be surprised that even if they split like this, the team's record remains the same. Makes sense.It’s just that when the coach who is not good at uniting the whole team members is in charge, the performance is poorer, such as: Capello, Mourinho; while the “good old man” or the coach with high emotional intelligence is in charge, the performance is better, such as: Bosque, Andy Cellotti.And Qi Zu is just a person with high emotional intelligence, high prestige among the players, and great support from the club's top management, so after he takes over the team, Real Madrid's strength can be stabilized at once. It has become the strongest team in the world in the past two years, bar none.If it weren't for the fact that Real Madrid hasn't had a head coach who can persist in coaching for more than four years in the past 30 to [-] years, Li Mudi would even think that Qi Zu might become Ferguson Bernabéu, provided that Lafayette has been in office for a long time and will Always support him.

In the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage on December 12, Real Madrid beat Malmö, the bottom of the group 9-8 at home, with 0 shots and 32 shots on target, and a 16% pass success rate created a new record . Cristiano Ronaldo scored four goals, Benzema scored a hat-trick, and Mbappé replaced Kovacic, another goal scorer, in No. 93 minutes, completing his Champions League debut.

On the second day, Castilla ushered in the second leg of the first round of the Federation Cup against Pontevedra at home. Facing the opponent's mixed lineup of half main force and half substitute, Li Moody followed the previous established policy as much as possible. Send a substitute player to play.

Castilla's starting lineup for this game: goalkeeper Abad, right back Dani, center back Linhardt and Bernabeu, left back Tehero, center midfielder Peperu and Fabas, right winger Seid Reis, left forward Lin Liangming, midfielder Munoz, forward Narvaez.Except for the striker, the other ten players are exactly the same as in the first round.

In this game, Pontevedra changed his formation to 4-1-4-1, with a single defensive midfielder to strengthen the thickness of the defense to deal with Castilla's possession of the ball in the frontcourt.In addition, the team's main midfielder Adrian Mourinho and main forward Canelo have all entered the starting lineup, presumably to try their luck at the beginning, if they can get back a goal as soon as possible, the team may Do your best.Therefore, Li Mudi asked the players to pay attention to the stability of the defense at the beginning of the first half, and not to lose the ball easily. I believe that as long as the situation is grasped and the opponent does not see the hope of equalizing, the game will naturally be won easily after they give up. .

After the start of the game, both sides carefully tested each other, and then the visiting team stepped up their midfield press.The gap between the strength of the players on the home team and the main players is quite obvious. Facing the high-intensity pressure of the opponent, the mistakes in passing and controlling the ball began to increase, and the advantage on the field was gradually taken by the opponent. No.20 In the second minute, Peperu was kicked in the calf during the fight. The pain was unbearable and he could not continue. Li Mudi had to replace him with Grau. The home team lost a general before the start.

However, in the offensive situation, Pontevedra failed to score the first goal. Instead, in the No.301 minute, Castilla made a quick counterattack, and Cedrez's cross was blocked by the opponent. After the central defender pushed out, Fabas followed up in the middle. After receiving the ball, he shot a long shot close to 30 meters and pierced the goalkeeper's ten fingers. 1-0, the home team took the lead unexpectedly.

This conceded goal hit the visiting team very hard. If they want to make a comeback after falling behind 0-3 in total, they need to score three goals in the remaining hour, which is very difficult.So their spirit slowly dissipated, and their offensive also slowed down.Just when Li Moody thought that the victory was firmly in his pocket, the two central defenders made a serious mistake. Facing a kick pass from the opponent's backcourt, Linhardt played with almost no interference. The top fell off, and the Bernabeu next to him didn't have the consciousness to step forward to protect. The away team forward Canelo seized this opportunity, and he accelerated towards the ball, forming a single-handed attack.When he entered the penalty area and kicked the goal, the defender closest to him behind him was also four meters away. Goalkeeper Abad was powerless in the face of this situation.With 4 minutes left before the end of the half, Pontevedra tied the score at 1-1, only two goals behind.And this conceded goal also ended Castilla's record of eight consecutive games without conceding a goal, and Li Moody was very angry.

However, in the locker room at halftime, Li Moody did not get angry, but told the players to keep calm, not to relax just because the total score is leading, and to continue to concentrate and pay attention to the mutual connection between each other.As time goes by, I believe Pontevedra will definitely give up resistance.

Facts have proved that the script is well written, and as long as the actors cooperate actively, the series will definitely be a success.In the 10 minutes of the game, the visiting team has not been able to rewrite the score. Seeing that there is no hope of promotion, they replaced all three main players on the field at once, which also announced the final outcome of this round of the game.In the following game, the home team scored a goal by Narvaez and Cedrez in No.70 and 88 minutes respectively.In the end, Castilla successfully entered the second round of the Federation Cup with a total score of 5-1.

On December 12, the Spanish Football Association announced online the results of the draw for the second round of the Confederations Cup. Castilla's opponent is Racing de Ferrol in Group 11 of the Spanish Second Division B. It will be held on January 1 and 2016, 1. Castile is lucky to be the guest before the host.

Two days later, on Sunday, December 12th, at 13:20, Castilla rushed to San Sebastián in the Basque Country (San Sebastián) to face their No.30 league opponents Real Sociedad de Fútbol B.

Real Sociedad is a veteran team in La Liga. It once won two league championships in the early 80s. In recent years, it has also participated in the Champions League.Teams in the Basque Country attach great importance to youth training, and Real Sociedad has also produced many well-known stars, such as Harvey Alonso and Bekistan, so the strength of its reserve team is still good.After the current sixteen rounds of the league, 5 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses have accumulated 22 points, ranking tenth in the standings.The main formation of the team is 4-4-1-1, the left back Hector is extremely fast, and there is a great threat to insert assists; the two central midfielders Sanz and Zubertia have different attributes in teamwork and work dedication. It is 16, with a tacit understanding; the attacking midfielder Kapila is very strong in terms of technical attributes, dribbling and technique 16, free kick 15, passing and receiving corner kicks are all 14, and he is the number one star in the team. Leah's players try to minimize fouls in some positions during the game, and don't give the opponent a great opportunity to directly hit the goal with a free kick.In addition, the Serbian central defender Srdjan Babic, who was just introduced by the Real Sociedad B team at a price of 200 million euros in the summer, was sidelined due to injury, which reduced the visiting team's attack line a lot.

Castilla's starting lineup for this game: goalkeeper Yanez, right back Linhardt, center back Hector and Leon, left back Abner, center midfielder Fabas and Toro, midfielder O De Gao, right winger Alvaro, left winger La Zuo, center Mariano.

The Basque team is one of the opponents Li Moody is least willing to meet. They generally have a strong body and an unyielding fighting spirit, and they can make the most of these two advantages to offset the opponent's technical advantages. Modern gun warfare morphs into medieval-era hand-to-hand combat, stepping over your opponent's corpse after a bloody bayonet.

Among Castilla's central and frontcourt players, apart from Mariano who can put a certain amount of pressure on the opponent physically, the others are like junior high school students meeting high school students in front of the opponent. Weight is not a class.Some confrontations are obviously reasonable collisions, but the players of the visiting team will be exaggerated as if they were thrown out. Although this makes the team's operation very sluggish, it also misled the referee and caused the players of the home team to be fined several times. A less obvious foul.

No. In the 301st minute, Mariano fell in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty kick. This made the players of the Real Sociedad B team very angry. They thought it was not a foul at all. After watching the replay from the video of the game, it was indeed very interesting. It's hard to tell if there was a foul or not.But the on-duty referee's penalty was very firm, and the home team had nothing to do except to be shown two yellow cards.Abner did it overnight and Castilla took the lead 1-0.

Falling behind by one goal due to the unacceptable penalty, the home team's anger became more and more intense, and the offensive suddenly flourished, rushing towards the visiting team's goal wave after wave.However, the tactics of crossing from the side did not pose too much threat to Castilla. Although their physical condition is better than that of the players of the visiting team, their skills are still a bit rough, and the placement of the cross is not ideal, and they are stuck. Styria paid great attention to protecting the second landing point, which caused the Royal Sociedad B team's offense to be somewhat thunderous and rainy.

The second half of the game was exactly the same as the first half. The home team kept making crosses from both sides, but the efficiency was very low. The only threatening attack was rejected by Yanez in a thrilling manner.On the contrary, the visiting team passed a quick counterattack in the No. 606 minute. Lazuo broke into the penalty area and was tripped to the ground. The referee decisively awarded a second penalty.It's a pity that Abner's shot this time was caught by the opponent's goalkeeper Badaji, and he missed the golden opportunity to expand the score. Li Moody beat his thigh anxiously on the sidelines.

In the end, the Real Sociedad B team failed to knock on the gate guarded by Yanez, and Castilla narrowly escaped with a score of 1-0 in the away game.

After the game, when asked by reporters about the first controversial penalty kick, Li Mudi responded: "I didn't see whether it was a foul, but since the referee saw it and made the penalty, we should believe in his correctness. As for the injustice of the Real Sociedad B team, I don’t think it’s necessary to make a big deal of it. Every team will encounter this kind of penalty that is unacceptable for a while. Maybe your luck will be better today, and my luck will be better tomorrow. That’s it. ...This is football, he is fair to everyone, so let him go." This response was later evaluated by the Real Sociedad B team coach as unnutritive nonsense.

Later in the day, Real Madrid drew 1-1 away at Villarreal.In the 8th minute, the home team was broken by the Real Madrid youth coach Soldado; in the 801st minute, Qi Zu's metaphysics showed off, and Mbappe, who came off the bench, scored a goal in a corner kick and scored his first La Liga goal. At the same time, he helped the team get a valuable point.
