Mister Legend

Chapter 634
Due to the World Cup, the 2026-27 season of La Liga will be postponed by one week from the normal start time, but there is still not enough time left for clubs, especially those giants with many international players, to prepare for the game .

Even though Li Mudi had already organized the pre-season training camp in advance according to his habit before the group stage of this grand event, but for several new players, if they want to be able to find fellow players at the beginning of the new season The tacit understanding of the new teammates is obviously impossible.

Even though the Real Madrid coach's hack can significantly shorten the time for players to run in, enhance players' understanding of tactics, and speed up the integration of new players into the team, but this is not a game after all. Click the corresponding button in the modifier and everything will be fine. If you want to achieve It will take a certain amount of time to get the approval of the coaching staff.

Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of building a group with good combat power as soon as possible, Real Madrid chose to ignore the outcome in many warm-up matches this summer, and instead allowed a large number of young players and new players to get enough to play Time, I hope they can find the feeling of cooperation through various mistakes in the game.As a result, this super team that has just created the Treble Crown struggled in the first few games of the pre-season. It lost to Borussia Mönchengladbach and Atlanta, but barely drew with Le Sturt City finally defeated the weakest Norwegian team Rosenborg, which really made people unable to see the shadow of the invincible team a few months ago.

However, this method of training by competition still had some effect. When this year's Bernabéu Cup started in Madrid, people still saw the progress of this Galaxy battleship whose lineup has undergone a major change.

In order to express respect and gratitude to several departing heroes, this year's Bernabéu Cup was temporarily changed to a small cup system. Varane played for the Ligue [-] team Lille and Courtois played for the Serie A powerhouse Roma. The team and the Qilu Luneng team, last year's champion of the Tianchao League, became the objects of invitation.

As a result, Real Madrid first defeated Lille 2-0 in the semi-finals, and then defeated the Red Wolves by one goal in the final, and won the championship of this cup without conceding a goal. A good sign.

On August 8th and 10th, Li Moody led his team to win Sevilla and Inter Milan respectively, taking back the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup, two championship trophies that were barely considered tasteless, and took home the club's trophy In the showroom, the Club World Cup held at the end of the year is only a short distance away from replicating the miracle of the annual six-time champions achieved by Barcelona.

Judging from the last four games, the defensive performance of the Galaxy Battleship after the lineup update is still worthy of praise, especially the new aid Jose Martinez, who quickly won the recognition of the coaching staff for his excellent sense of judgment. For sure, it is expected to get a relatively main position (that is, the kind that will get more playing time under the rotation system).

Another rookie, Benoit Bediasar, still needs more time to find the feeling of integrating into the new environment, but his invincible header ability has also won the hearts of fans, no matter what Whether it is on the defensive end or when attacking from set kicks, the French tall tower is the player with the highest success rate of headers. This gives Real Madrid, which was not outstanding in this ability in the past, a new advantage. Certain moments may be the key to reversing the outcome.

The integration speed of these two new aids is still very fast. The reasons for this are not only their strong strength and the help of several other veterans in the team, but also the lack of tactical requirements of the defense line. small relationship.But for players with offensive tasks, dozens of brand-new coordination routines prevent them from finding a roadblock to adapt to the new environment as soon as possible. There was a major problem with the offensive firepower of Absolute Champion Europe.

According to Li Moody's previous design, the two wingers, Vinicius and Hrabert, are not capable enough to take over the main position left by Asensio, so the newly joined Ferran Torres will start from his original position in Barcelona. Rencia's main right wing was transferred to the left to form a new two-wing combination with Mbappe.

Torres, who was known as Asensio II when he was young, is indeed very similar to the template that the outside world found for him in terms of technical characteristics. Ah Xiao seemed to be carved out of the same mold.Of course, he is slightly inferior to his predecessors in terms of passing and overall situation, but he is better in terms of physical fitness and toughness of the game. Generally speaking, he should be able to perfectly replace the former local leader of Real Madrid. of the location.

And in terms of current ability and potential value, the double value of 172 and 179 is not much worse than that of Asensio, as long as the remaining 7 points can be fully trained-although judging from his 26-year-old age, it is a little Difficult, but with Li Moody in hand, the probability of finally achieving this goal is quite high - it can almost make the Galaxy Battleship no longer have to worry about the position of the two wingers in the next four or five years.

But the Real Madrid coach now has to face a somewhat tricky problem, that is, after Ferran Torres was placed on the left, there is only one threatening way of attack left. The people are not bad, but the quality of the cross is really not flattering.This kind of lame ability will not only suffer from the opponent's more targeted defense methods, which will reduce the power of one's own killer, but also will not be able to exert Pellegri's excellent finishing ability in front of the goal, so no matter what method is used, At the beginning of the season, the coaching staff will focus on how to improve the crossing ability of the new aid, but judging from the results of the warm-up games before the season, the situation is not particularly ideal.

As for Li Moody's super training bag, he first used it to strengthen Torres' speed and dribbling direction, because these two are the most commonly used weapons in Real Madrid's offensive end, so the cross can only be put first Let it go.

And the team's other three wingers, Mbappe, Hrabert and Vinicius, can also come to the left, especially the Brazilians still play on this side, but they are also on the right. With good feet, the tactical style when playing left winger will also choose to cut in more, and the degree of inverse footing is not as light as Torres.Therefore, the coaching staff can only choose to "strike hard" on the latter, all kinds of crazy extra training, hoping to solve this problem as soon as possible, but it is obviously impossible to solve it overnight.

Therefore, in the case that the left-sided offense has not been able to achieve the desired effect, the re-started five-time champion Real Madrid, in the first two months of the new season, encountered a rare symptom of offensive weakness, which still prevented many people. expected.Because even if Torres has not been able to replace Asensio [-]% for the time being, the team still has top attackers like Mbappé, Pellegri and Rodrigo after all, and the scoring ability should still be able to guaranteed.

But the reality is that Real Madrid only scored a total of three goals in the two league games played in August, and their opponents Alaves and Celta are not the kind of teams known for their defensive capabilities.Fortunately, the defense line of the Galaxy Battleship is still very strong, especially the four central defenders, Vallejo, Martinez, Bedia Sal and Skriniar, who have successively got the chance to play. In the case of an assist, it almost perfectly blocks all the counterattacks of the two opponents, so that the teammates do not need to be distracted from the problem of returning to the defense, and can devote all their energy to how to knock the opponent's goal. Real Madrid can get One of the biggest contributors to the winning streak.

It's just that after getting used to the super offensive firepower that has been invincible in the past two seasons, the Meilingers are still a little disappointed with the current situation.Of course, anyone who has a little understanding of the laws of football can understand that after the lineup changes, it is normal for the team to have various problems, and the so-called seamless connection is something that can be encountered but not obtained.

But to everyone's dissatisfaction, in order to allow several new players to gain experience in the game, Li Moody almost abandoned the Castilian Three Musketeers who are highly supported by the fan group.In the first two games, except for center Jorge Solzano who played 7 minutes, the other two youngsters, including La Liga best rookie Zori last season, could only play on the bench or in the stands Watching their teammates struggle on the field seems like a huge disservice to the future of the franchise.

Regarding this kind of doubt, Li Moody also expressed some helplessness in an interview with reporters. The main reason for this is that this year’s World Cup schedule, which has expanded to 48 participating teams, is much longer than previous ones, which led to the team’s pre-season run-in. There is not enough time, so Real Madrid can only find a solution in this unconventional way.

And he also believes that the decline in the team's offensive power is not all the responsibility of the two new aids Ferran Torres and Martin Calderon. The poor state of other players in the team is also a reason that cannot be ignored.As the club with the largest number of players in the World Cup, Galacticos has the most serious syndrome in the entire football world. It can only make positive adjustments through training and competitions. The rest is to wait for the return of normal feelings.

However, the reality soon proved that Real Madrid was far from ushering in a passage to get out of the quagmire. On September 9, when they went to Old Trafford to start the first game of defending the Champions League this season, they encountered a head-on bashing.

Under the leadership of Zidane, Manchester United has shown a strong momentum of recovery since the winter break last year, and finally won the third place in the Premier League, officially announcing the return of the Red Devils.After Xia Chuang made a very targeted reinforcement, the former Real Madrid legend led the team with his super performance in August, and was considered by the media to be another big player who can shake the status of Liverpool and Manchester City. Favorite to win.

This time at home, we ushered in the Galaxy battleship that killed the Quartet last season. Manchester United, which urgently needs to further improve the confidence and momentum of their team, naturally showed 120% concentration and vowed to step on the corpse of the old king to issue a new one. Wang Dangli's rhetoric.

And the process of this strong matchup like sparks hitting the earth also proved the previous conclusion of the Real Madrid coach, that is, the reasons for their unsatisfactory performance cannot all be attributed to the new aid.Li Mudi, who knew that his opponent would definitely adopt a very oppressive style of play at home, was very cautious not to let Ferran Torres start, and copied the old lineup that had been honed very purely last season, hoping to gain some in the counterattack. good chance.

It's just that at the critical moment, Mbappe misfired and fell into the encirclement circle designed by the home team for him many times and couldn't extricate himself.As for the starting left winger Vinicius, he sleepwalked on the field for five to 10 minutes. It seemed that he bought a ticket to watch the game up close. down.However, the Spaniard's state today is also very average. Before the finale, he wasted a chance that Pellegri finally managed to fight, and blasted an excellent chance to score less than ten meters away from the goal beyond the crossbar.

In the end, the frontcourt was sluggish. Although the midfield and backcourt performed well, Real Madrid, who could not completely resist Manchester United's offensive, reaped their first defeat in the first UEFA Champions League group match of the new season. , fell to Manchester United led by the former coach with a score of 0 to 2, which can be said to be exhausted.

And four days later, when they were away at the Ceramic Stadium and returned with a 1-2 score, the comment that the myth of the five crowns had collapsed had already begun to spread throughout European football.

This defeat not only ended Real Madrid's unbeaten record of 45 league games spanning three seasons, but also made other teams see clearly where their current Achilles' heel is, and everyone is more convinced that after the peak, there will be a trough. An unchanging truth in football history.

Fortunately, in the face of criticism from the outside world and various unreliable suggestions, Li Moody's heart is not disturbed. He is very aware of the abilities of his players. In the season, the miracle of Buddha blocking and killing Buddha and demons blocking and killing demons, this galaxy battleship will also be the strongest contender for the championship of all competitions.

Therefore, the more urgent the situation is, the more he cannot mess up his own position. After careful research with the coaching staff, he believes that the team's current strategy is no problem in the general direction. Some small details still need to be improved.As long as we can persevere, sooner or later we will usher in a day of full recovery.

But the controller in the dark obviously didn't want this year's football to become boring, so TA inserted the international match day after the first week of September, so that Real Madrid players had to Going to their respective national teams to report disrupted the plans of Li Modi and others, making them both angry and helpless.
