Mister Legend

Chapter 647

Although Riverola is only 16 years old as a front midfielder, his physical development is very good. With a height of 1.8 meters [-] and a body that is far stronger than his peers, he looks very much like the president of the year.

More importantly, he also has an extremely handsome face, which makes it easy for him to gain the support of a large number of female fans-well, if such people can also be called fans.

However, in the eyes of professionals like Li Moody, the reason why Riverola is so valued by the entire Spanish football world is because of his rapidly improving skills and the seemingly inexhaustible potential contained in his body.How high will a Kaka who doesn’t get injured frequently reach? It should be hard for anyone who has witnessed this gorgeous performance like a “son of God” before the start of the era of Melo’s double pride, not to YY. .

Judging from the values ​​given by the FM system, this young man who has just entered the theoretically first period of high-speed growth in ability has a current overall ability of more than 130 (estimated by Li Mudi), of which the speed of double 15 And many individual items such as explosive power, 16 dribbling, 14 passing and technology can already match the main level of those weaker teams in La Liga.As for the abilities of a midfielder such as corner kicks, set kicks, and defensive positions, Riverola also happens to be at a lower level, which means that he is extremely "biased" but also extremely efficient.

Theoretically speaking, if this growth method can continue, it is estimated that when his current ability rises to around 175, he may be close to reaching the level of Melo in his peak period in terms of personal attack. It has never appeared in football in the past.

In addition to the fact that his original way of personal growth is quite different from most young players' pursuit of all-round development, the external training package that Li Moody used on him also played a great role in external intervention.Because Real Madrid's current counterattack tactics can only create a great threat on the two sides, and the center still lacks impact. If they can achieve superhuman speed in all three channels, then the team's attack power will reach one. Perfect standard.That's why the Real Madrid coach so urgently adopted the training method of seedlings and encouragement, hoping that Riverola can grow up as soon as possible, so that the possibly strongest tactical play in his mind can be realized.

Of course, due to the existence of the training package, he doesn't have to worry about the development of players who are too partial, because he can adjust it according to the actual situation at any time.This is equivalent to allowing Riverola to maximize his own superiority and outstanding growth, and then make up for other weaknesses based on the remaining potential value, and the normal training method will eventually achieve the same effect by different routes, but in the near future In terms of the use of combat power, the new training method is undoubtedly better.

This can be seen from the current Spanish football's praise of Riverola, because if he is promoted in an all-round way, his characteristics will definitely not be so prominent, and naturally he will not be able to stand out among the many talents who are close to his age. Become the most dazzling one.

However, Li Mudi cultivated this Kaka II not for frivolous things like hype, but for the needs of the team.Therefore, in the face of excessive praise from the outside world, he kept telling the rising star to devote all his energy to training and not to lose his heart under the spotlight.

Fortunately, although Riverola is young, his mind is far more mature than his peers. He has long been reminded by his family and coaches to understand how many geniuses who fell into the praise of the outside world or self-satisfaction died prematurely. , For the time being, he can ignore the interference from the outside world and devote himself to improving his skills, which relieved Li Moody and the Real Madrid coaching staff who were still a little worried about him.

Because they really don't have much time to focus on protecting a certain player, the team will not only usher in the first life-and-death match next weekend-the same-city derby with Atletico Madrid, where Before that, he had to make an appearance in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and his opponent was Dortmund, who is also not to be underestimated.

The Hornets have caught up with their unique peak period again this season. Every three or four years, they will have a wave of strong performances, and they can even beat Bayern in the league.However, this kind of performance is only maintained for one season, and it will soon return to a normal state, and this year happens to be the node when this veteran team reaches the peak.

So against such an opponent who broke out in such an intermittent period, you can’t use common sense to judge. If you catch up with Dortmund’s new batch of young talents and play a super-level state, then even Real Madrid and Barcelona’s level It is hard to say that the rich teams won easily.Therefore, Li Mudi and his colleagues conducted a more rigorous analysis before the game, and worked out various plans to deal with possible emergencies, in order to ensure that the result of promotion can be achieved with the minimum investment.

In the end, in this group of duels held for two consecutive weeks, the Bundesliga powerhouse with an average age of only 22.7 years old in the starting lineup really made everyone who watched the game feel a compelling youthful atmosphere.The 22-year-old black center Jusufa Mukoko and central midfielder Dennis Luke-Free are already the highest priced players in the transfer market in this age group, while the 18-year-old winger A Lysandro Coppel is hailed as Sane's successor and is also one of the strongest contenders for this year's European Golden Boy Award.

Even Li Modi, who has gathered countless good seedlings, can't help but have a very strong desire to buy after seeing the skills and future development potential of these talented young players in the opponent's lineup. He also knew very well that the cost of poaching corners would definitely not be small, and it would be better to save the funds and use them on the immediate combat power.

It's just that no matter how enticing the vitality and future development prospects of these young players are, they still have a certain distance from their own maturity, and it is difficult to play evenly against Real Madrid, which is already standing on the top of the world. appeared.

Moreover, this too young Hornet still has a fatal flaw, that is, it has too little experience in the European war, especially the Champions League knockout round. My drive and talent barely kept me from losing the situation, but in the following game time, I could only be led by the nose by the old and hot Galaxy Battleship, and it was difficult to play the rhythm I was best at.In this way, he has suffered defeats in home and away games successively, so it will not be considered too many surprising things by the outside world.

2 to 1 away, 1 to 0 at home, Real Madrid insisted on adopting a rotation strategy, taking advantage of the thickness of their lineup and a hundred times more experience than the other side, in the safest and most economical way to eliminate the European football once again. Dortmund, who set off a youthful storm, entered the ranks of the semi-finals of the Champions League for the third consecutive year.

As for their opponents in the semi-finals, we will come to that later, turning the clock back to the weekend between these two Champions League games.

At 4 o'clock in the evening on April 11th, Li Mudi led the team to usher in their city rival Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium, and considering the current situation of La Liga points and the subsequent schedule, the significance of this derby is very important. It is not limited to the aspect of historical grievances, but will directly have a decisive impact on the final championship situation.

Theoretically speaking, if Real Madrid can win this game, then they will increase their chances of winning the championship from less than 40% to more than [-]%.Because even if Barcelona can maintain the three-point difference through consecutive victories, there will be a second national derby where the two sides will face each other, and the venue will be the Bernabeu. The possibility of a flat score is still extremely high.

And since the two teams scored 0-0 at the Nou Camp in the first contest, then Real Madrid can rely on the advantage of the direct win-loss relationship to rank in front of the opponent in the case of the same score, as long as they can win the remaining league opponents , You can declare the goal of achieving the three consecutive La Liga titles.

As for Atletico Madrid, which is far behind in points, although they cannot completely control their fate, as long as they can defeat the Galacticos in this derby, and then sit and watch the latter win in the national derby, they will be unfavorable. The tables turned.Then the Sheets only need to beat Barcelona 1-0 or 3-1 at home in the penultimate round, and they can enter the standings with a direct win-loss relationship when the three teams are evenly divided. First, although it sounds a little troublesome to say, but in reality, the possibility of this situation is not low.

So for the Madrid duo, this is a victory that must be won no matter what. If it is a draw, it will be in vain. It ended in failure.

So from before the official start of the game, a verbal confrontation broke out between the two teams. The hot-tempered stars such as Mbappé, Bedia Sal, Masengo and Garcez were interviewed. Some exaggerated remarks were expressed.Even Li Moody, who has always boasted that he can always maintain a good attitude in the football field, felt that he was a little too nervous and chewed gum. After two days, his two cheeks were about to lose consciousness.

And after the opening whistle sounded, the coaches of both sides walked out of the coaching bench at the same time, and came to the sidelines to watch the game with solemn expressions, which reflected that their psychological pressure was indeed very great at that time.

Due to the self-evident importance of this game, and the fact that the two teams are already familiar with each other to the extent that the other party knows the shape of feces under their bodies as soon as they lift their buttocks, there is no slightest temptation at all. In the field area, restrictions and anti-restrictions were launched like a desperate effort.

Aspas's strategy is very clear. It is to use the midfield line with stronger strength and better teamwork to completely destroy Real Madrid's offensive organization, forcing the latter to choose to launch an offensive through long passes from the backcourt. , can greatly reduce the opponent's success rate.

As for the reason why Li Mudi would choose a similar style of play in the opening stage, it is actually very simple, that is, the suspension of Fabas and the poor state of Martin Calderon made the Galaxy Battleship lack the threat of the previous mid-lane attack. For the time being, it can only be played on two sides.However, in the case that Atletico Madrid will not use full pressure, the speed advantage of Mbappe and Rodrygo cannot show the strength to blow up the opponent's full-back in the positional battle, so he did not use the Brazilian winger, but Putting Ferran Torres into the starting lineup is to hope that the latter's excellent passing ability can help his teammates create better opportunities.

And considering the high defensive hardness of Atletico Madrid's defensive players, without the help of midfielders, it would be difficult for Torres, who is slightly thin, to obtain organizational space, so he must grab a "base" behind the striker. Only in this way can we provide corresponding support to our left winger.

It's just that in this way, too much time and energy will be wasted in meaningless hand-to-hand combat.It’s okay for Atletico Madrid, which is better at this kind of tactics, because they are very accustomed to winning in chaos, but Real Madrid, which enjoys home court advantage and has an advantage in overall strength, cannot accept this situation for a long time , In addition to too much physical contact that may lead to red and yellow cards and injuries, they are also unable to play out their own tactics, which feels a bit outweighed.

Therefore, Li Modi was the first to change his tactics. He instructed the players to give up the fight for the ball and switch to the defensive counterattack strategy that they had already mastered.In this way, although unnecessary consumption was avoided, it also made it impossible for Torres to replace Rodrigo's role in the starting lineup. It was a small loss to Aspas.

However, Atletico Madrid, which succeeded in seizing the territory, has always adopted a steady and steady attacking method in the following period. Even as a side that is more thirsty for victory, it has not overly presupposed the three lines too much. Immediately after losing the ball in the front court, he shoveled fiercely on the spot, never giving the home team a chance to easily counterattack.

Just because of this strategy, they received four yellow cards in the whole game, but the price was well worth paying, because before Li Moody changed his style of play for the second time, Real Madrid's threatening offensive was almost non-existent. This is extremely rare in usual games.

Until nearly 10 minutes into the second half, the home team replaced Valverde with Rodrigo, and at the same time moved Ferran Torres to the center, after changing to a more aggressive 4-2-3-1 formation, They just got more shots.

Relatively speaking, the thickness of the midfield defense also dropped a lot, and Atletico Madrid also found two loopholes and almost scored twice.Therefore, in the end, neither of the two sides was able to make up their minds to break the boat. A boring mutual goalless draw is an extremely reasonable result.
