Mister Legend

Chapter 657 Everything Goes Well Like a Dream
With Riverola's outstanding performance at the beginning of the season, Guti also complied with public opinion and recruited the young man born at the end of 2010 into the new Matador Corps, and let Real Madrid 20th in September 9th. He came on as a substitute in the friendly match against Australia in the evening, making Riverola the youngest Spanish men's football international in history at the age of 7 years and 17 days, surpassing Bilba in the 268s by only two days Athletic E sports star Subieta has completed the dream that legendary stars such as Raul, Casillas, Ramos and Cesc Fabregas failed to realize.

And when he came off the bench in the Global Nations League group match against the Netherlands four days later and scored a wonderful long shot, the title of the youngest goal scorer in the history of the national team was also refreshed. His name resounded throughout the football world in the shortest possible time, covering up all other rising stars with his own power.

Facing the crazy bragging of the outside world, Li Mudi hurriedly stood up to relieve pressure on his disciples, trying to bring them back to the original calm state from the blinding spotlight, so in the next month or so, people can always Seeing that the Real Madrid coach kept saying "belittling" the new generation of golden boy in an interview, he first thought that there was still a big gap between his ability and an outstanding player, and then emphasized that his honor book The comments that are still in a blank stage and stand shoulder to shoulder with those legendary superstars are really illogical.

In short, it is like an old hen protecting her chicks from the dangers outside, using all her strength to defend herself.In addition, the team also imposed strict requirements on the young man. Once he was suspected of being flattered by the outside world, he would be severely punished by being removed from the squad for the game.In private, Li Mudi expressed to his friends such as Raul and Hierro more than once that he is very optimistic about Riverola's future development prospects, so he has made up his mind this time and will never allow a player who has the potential to grow into the No. .1's potential stocks in his own hands hurt Zhongyong.

But to be honest, in terms of his personality, it is really difficult to do this kind of "singing a bad face", because everyone can see that the Real Madrid coach will always control young players after seeing their progress. He couldn't help but show a very obvious smile on his face.During this "high-pressure control" period, Riverola saw with his own eyes many times that the head coach responded positively to his performance, so the so-called "strict father" model has long lost its due effect.

Fortunately, this genius on the football field also has extremely precocious psychology and thinking, knowing that Li Mudi did this for his own benefit, so he did not have negative thoughts after receiving special treatment, but experienced short-term self-expansion After that, I quickly regained my sense of normalcy, and made all those who really cared about me put the raised heart back to its original place.

Afterwards, with the gradual start of the UEFA Champions League group stage and the Copa del Rey, the Galaxy Battleship, which had significantly more competition tasks, quickly returned to the increased rotation system, allowing Riverola, who was once protected by Moody Li, to return to the team again. In the team's roster, and the number of starts is obviously more than last season, and the tactical role played on the field is also much more important. It seems that he has become a key player in Real Madrid's current team.

And since he entered the first-team rotation in the middle and late part of last season, and continued to break various records at the beginning of the new season, this young player who is not yet 18 has also started a worthwhile period in his life. The dream journey that will be remembered forever, the process can be described as perfect.

In mid-September, with the prestige of breaking the two records of the Spanish national team one after another, Riverola's name was impressively listed in the final 2028-man squad for the 30 European Golden Boy Award announced by "Turin Sports", and was unanimously recognized by the outside world. I think it will be one of the biggest favorites in this selection.

On October 10, Real Madrid played against Shakhtar Donetsk at home in the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. At No. 3 minutes in the second half, Riverola replaced Elias Zidane, surpassing Hebei and becoming the king of the ball. Real Madrid's youngest player ever to make his Champions League debut.

Three weeks later, he scored a supplementary shot against Red Star Belgrade, thus relegating the club's current chairman Raul to the second place on the team's youngest goal scorer list in the Champions League. My luck is really too good.

After completing all the records that he could break for the time being, Riverola's wave of goal luck came to an abrupt end, and this is a situation that is more in line with objective laws.After all, although at his current age, 147's current ability can already be called a Godzilla-level freak, his technical characteristics are the same as his template Kaka, and he is a player whose scoring ability far exceeds the average level. A modern attacking midfielder, but at this time the gap from the Son of God in the peak period is obviously very huge, and it is still unable to match the super high scoring rate of the Brazilian star.

Moreover, after all opponents began to impose key defensive measures on him, the young player, who is still lacking in physical confrontation and experience compared to adults, has found it difficult to rely on his signature long-range shots to score goals, so until Before the team is about to leave for the United States to participate in the Club World Cup in mid-December, this young talent who is known as the strongest post-zero (referring to those born after 2010) has achieved his first place in various club competitions this season. The fourth goal.

But a genius is a genius. If someone thinks that stopping his attempt to score goals can limit this golden boy who has become so popular in the world of football, then it can only be said that his understanding of football is too low. Not comparable to the level of a primary school student.

Because in addition to scoring, Riverola can also use his abilities in other areas to help the team win.

With Li Moody's rapid transformation of the external version of the training package for more than a year, the supernova's overall view has reached an excellent score of 16 in the FM system. The ball and the teamwork that has been strengthened to 15, although it is not a very good passer, but with the blessing of super speed ability, he can often use his dribbling ability to create good space and pass the ball. The ball is delivered to the feet of teammates at the most reasonable time.

For example, in the No.11 league round on November 26, when the away game faced Valencia, which had a very tight defensive formation, Riverola, who was ordered in danger, first completed a 13-meter long distance in the process of a counterattack. Dribbled the ball from a distance, and then intercepted with the premise of attracting the opponent's central defender, used a diagonal step to change direction, and then used a small space to pass a wonderful and accurate diagonal pass, which directly penetrated The home team's defense helped Pellegri get a single-handed golden opportunity.

The Italian striker also lived up to the efforts of his little brother. After entering the penalty area, he swayed past the attacking goalkeeper and sent the ball into the huge empty goal, breaking the evenly matched state that lasted for more than 70 minutes. Li can use the opportunity of the Bat Corps to invest more troops in the frontcourt to play a more threatening counterattack, thus reaping a difficult victory at the Nueva Mestalla Stadium.

And the classic case that can best demonstrate Riverola's passing awareness and ability far beyond ordinary people is the first Madrid derby on December 12. Since the Champions League group match against AC Milan will end next week The official battle, and that will be a key battle to win the top spot in the group, so Li Mudi, who has a large lead in the domestic league, chose to hide the cores such as Mbappe and Ndidi, so that this season is in good condition and started well. The Sheets, which have been ranked in the top three in the standings after the season, saw a great opportunity to defeat their rivals in the same city for the first time in four seasons.

At the Metropolitan Stadium, Aspers formed a formation that emphasized midfield confrontation and control. At the same time, the assault tactics on the two wings are also their killer feature. Whether it is positional warfare or counterattack, they can play very well. The effect comes.

On the other hand, for Real Madrid, Moussa Dembele, who served as a lone striker, left the field early due to a leg injury at the No.207 minute of the game. Considering that the situation at the time was not suitable, only in the penalty area can he play himself With Solzano's ability, Li Mudi replaced Vinicius and let him and Riverola, two frontcourt players who have an advantage in speed, take turns to the front. The defender creates the greatest threat, while Elias Zidane still maintains the two roles of attacking midfielder and central midfielder at any time.

However, Vinicius, who stayed in a very dramatic way this summer, has been unsatisfactory in his recent state. He suffered a thigh muscle strain when he represented the Selecao in the National League in mid-September. Relying on the influence of the medal halo, he just came back more than ten days ago. Although the entire coaching staff is trying his best to help him adjust, due to the short time, the Brazilian who appeared on the field still seemed a little out of step. The game got better after the second half.

In 4 minutes, Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack from the backcourt. Elias Zidane took the ball in the middle and rushed into the home team's half. He found an empty space under the influence of Riverola's running position and sent the ball behind Atletico Madrid's defense. .The home team's central defender Javier Montero had an accident when he turned around to chase the ball and slipped and fell on the turf, giving Vinicius, who was going forward, an excellent opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly.

But in the face of Diogo Costa who chose to attack, the Real Madrid winger seemed to be frightened by the fierce and sturdy momentum of the opponent. He failed to choose a direct shot at the best time, but wanted to pass after rushing into the penalty area. The behavior of changing the ball to pass the opponent, creating the possibility of hitting an empty goal.

As a result, just when the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper took a desperate leap to intercept, Vinicius' legs were weak and he failed to get out in time, allowing the opponent to touch the ball half a second earlier. Costa's arms hang and he falls to the ground.Not only did he lose a good chance to score, but he was also suspected of diving by the referee and received a yellow card.

Then the home team took advantage of the opportunity created by a cross from the side to rewrite the score on the field. When Jose Martinez competed with Borja Garces for the first point, he was suspected of being hit by a rebounded ball. He hit his own arm and was suspected of a handball foul by the baseline referee.So the referee immediately suspended the game, ignoring the Real Madrid central defender's excuse that the ball just hit his ribs, and chose to come to the sidelines to judge by watching the VAR return to the defense in person, and finally awarded the Sheets a penalty.

Mexican winger Diego Lenz obviously knows Real Madrid's preparations for penalty kicks very well. He did not take the ball to the lower left corner of the goal according to his habit, and used a half-way stop-style run-up to deceive Flücht. Paul made a move first, and then easily pushed the ball to the right, helping Atletico Madrid get a 1-0 lead.

For this suspected violation of the penalty method, the players and coaching staff of the visiting team appealed to the referee and the fourth official respectively on and off the field, but they failed to get support for a revision of the sentence. The situation is unfavorable.

After gaining the lead, Aspas immediately instructed the players to move the three lines back, playing the tactics of pass control and defensive counterattack, forcing Real Madrid to attack.It's just that in front of the home team's equally excellent defense line, the Galaxy Battleship, which needs to be on guard against the opponent's two wing impact capabilities, has never been able to find an opportunity to deliver the ball to a dangerous area in a positional battle. The high center forward of the central defender kept their offense out of the penalty area. It was difficult for the reliable long-range shots from the outside to get good results in this case.

Just when Li Moody recruited Pellegri and Sergio Arribas, who had finished warming up, and prepared to let these two new forces play to help the team reverse the current passive situation, Riverola let His manager reversed his plans and put the Madrid derby back on track.

No. 703 minutes, Riverola, who was pulled to the left to receive the ball, completed a collision with Elias Zidane and passed a central midfielder of the home team. The speed was raised to the limit, and through an extremely gorgeous cycling action, he swayed the Atletico Madrid right back and Dutch international Giovanni Trupi, and then dribbled the ball inside and entered the penalty area.

The veteran Jimenez, who came over to defend, used his incomparably rich experience to get stuck in the forward route of the Real Madrid supernova, and was always ready to block, in case the young man on the opposite side suddenly tried to attack the goal.But the Uruguayan, who is about to turn 34, can no longer keep up with Riverola, who is almost half his age. I saw the latter make an unreasonable and sharp change of direction, and it passed the Atletico Madrid captain's side. In the past, he went directly to the home team's goal.

At the critical moment, Diogo Costa, who chose to attack halfway, and Javier Montero, who rushed to him, almost blocked all of Riverola's attacking routes, but they all underestimated the ability of this Spanish genius .Riverola first used a fake shot to trick Atletico Madrid's central defender into taking a right foot to intercept, and then used his left toe to stab the ball towards the middle of the goal in the middle of the flash. Luo's crotch.Vinicius, who followed up in time, sent the ball into the empty goal before the home team's midfielder Jonathan Gonzalez's tackle arrived, bringing the two teams back to the same starting line.

In the end, with Riverola's perfect assist, Real Madrid drew 1-1 with their rivals in the same city and continued to lead the La Liga standings with a six-point advantage.

And two days later, the football prodigy who quickly became popular in the second half of the year received his first personal honor in his player career-this year's European Golden Boy Award, becoming the youngest elected in history.

The whole year of 2028 is definitely a dreamlike twelve months for Real Madrid star Riverola. Everything goes well like a dream, which makes many people envious and jealous.
