Chapter 460 Christmas Eve

With six shots and two assists in two games, Wang Li showed extraordinary offensive ability in his first appearance in La Liga.

When Wang Li just returned, there were still players in Real Madrid who were dissatisfied with his starting position, but now these players have nothing to say.

In these two games, Wang Li's offensive efficiency was higher than that of all other Real Madrid players combined. This kind of performance is definitely something that ordinary players look up to. Robinho and Baptista, who challenged Wang Li at the beginning, have now become Wang Li's followers.

During their usual training, the two always kept their eyes on Wang Li, wanting to learn some 'real' football skills. In their opinion, Wang Li must have some extraordinary training skills to be able to perform at this level.

Unfortunately, Wang Li really had nothing to teach them.

It is worth mentioning that Casillas finally understood the meaning of what Beckham said when he first met Wang Li: "His coming to Real Madrid will have a great influence on you."

"Igor, let's train together."

On the second day of the last round of La Liga, Wang Li found Casillas to practice shooting techniques.

Casillas agreed without thinking. Before, Wang Li had always asked him to do free kick training. In his opinion, Wang Li was very good at free kicks. Casillas also felt that this could improve his reaction speed, so he liked to train with Wang Li, which was very helpful for both of them.

However, today Wang Li wanted to train in long-range shooting, and he also called in the team's main defender, Ramos, who had just joined Real Madrid this season.

After coming to Real Madrid, after several games, Ramos won the favor of Luxemburgo with his ability and became the team's main central defender. In La Liga teams, central defenders are very scarce, and Ramos' ability is already top-notch.

Hearing that Wang Li wanted him to train together and let him be responsible for defense, Ramos was also very interested. During the usual training, he was very familiar with Wang Li's personal skills. His dribbling ability was described as superb by him, so Ramos felt that training with Wang Li would definitely improve his personal defensive skills.

So the three of them came to one side of the training ground.

Wang Li attacked, Ramos defended, and Casillas was the goalkeeper.

This arrangement was like a one-on-one duel, and it also attracted the interest of other players, such as Robinho. This Brazilian boy admired Wang Li very much. He stood on the sidelines and watched the confrontation on the field meticulously.

Of course, his eyes were focused on Wang Li.

"Let's get started."

Wang Li said something and dribbled forward. Ramos moved close to defend. When the two approached, Wang Li stepped on the ball with his left foot, slowed down, and then protected the ball with his back against Ramos. He moved the ball to the side with his right foot, then turned around, stepped forward, swung his right foot and shot directly.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the football flew straight to the left corner of the goal like a cannonball.

Casillas was startled and jumped up in a hurry to grab the ball, but the ball was too fast. Although his fingers touched the ball, the football only changed direction slightly and still flew into the net.

"Clap, clap, clap..." Robinho clapped on the sidelines.

Casillas' heart was trembling. He didn't expect the ball to have such a strong force. However, he calmed himself and told himself that it was just a coincidence.

"Yes, it's just a coincidence." He thought so, and the second round had already begun.

This time, Wang Li chose to use a fake move to break through directly. He used his shadowless kick, and his feet moved back and forth on the ball, forming a shadow of his feet. This made it impossible for Ramos to judge when Wang Li would kick. In an instant, Wang Li kicked with his right foot, then stepped up, dribbled past Ramos, and shot a powerful shot from 18 meters away from the goal.

This time, Casillas was serious.

He kept staring at the football when he saw Wang Li dribbling past Ramos. There was a "bang" sound and at the same time Casillas pounced towards the right corner of the goal. His judgment was very accurate.

However, the speed of the ball was so fast that his hands touched the ball, but the ball directly drove his hands and flew into the goal at an angle.

In an instant, Casillas' body was even moved in the air towards the goal.

"Oh my god stop"

Seeing the staff pass the ball to Wang Li again, Casillas immediately called a halt. He covered his hands with his hands and walked over with a grin, saying, "Alan, I think we should change the goalkeeper."

"Huh?" Ramos looked at him in confusion.

"I'll go call Paros, he will definitely be willing to come and train with you..." Paros' second-team goalkeeper would certainly be willing to train with these main players.

"Why? Igor, you're going to do other training later?"

Casillas glared at Ramos and said, "Alan's foot is too strong. I think if this continues, I won't be able to participate in next week's game..."

Hearing this, Wang Li scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Then I'd better shoot from a farther position."

"How far?"

"How about five meters outside the penalty area?" Wang Li asked tentatively.

Casillas hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, a little further away."

As he said that, he held the ball and ran out of the penalty area. When he was 40 meters away from the goal, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go here. I think a ball of that speed, kicked from here, can't pose a threat to me."

The people nearby looked at that position, then at the goal, and were all stunned.

Casillas succeeded.

Even though Wang Li dribbled past Ramos and shot from a distance of 40 meters from the goal, the ball was almost as fast as the balls kicked by other forwards when it reached the goal, not to mention that there was a top La Liga defender defending next to him. As a result, Wang Li failed to score for several consecutive rounds.

After this training, the players in the team are more convinced of Wang Li and have more confidence in this season's games.

To borrow a phrase from Zidane: "Let Alan stand behind the penalty area and shoot directly from long range after receiving the ball, and we can beat any team because he can kick all the opposing goalkeepers off the field."

This is just a training episode.

The La Liga is still going on. Before Christmas, Real Madrid will have another opponent - Olympique Marseille, which is a home game.

The game is held on December 22nd, and all Madrid fans hope that Real Madrid can get a big victory and spend a happy Christmas.

Real Madrid's top management also thinks so. In the first half of this season, Real Madrid has been in turmoil, and the coaching change has raised this turmoil to a high point. Now that the team is temporarily stable, they need to use victory to appease the hearts of the fans.

The day before the game, Florentino asked Carlo to play with Real Madrid's momentum at home and get a clean victory.

Under this pressure, Carlo was very strict in his training before the game and emphasized the significance of the game.

In fact, he didn't need to emphasize that every Real Madrid star didn't want to spend Christmas with a failure, and no one wanted to see such a result.

Osasuna, located in Pamplona, ​​the capital of the Autonomous Region of Navarra, Spain, was founded on November 17, 1920. The history of this team is full of ups and downs. After six years of baptism in the second division, Osasuna finally won the qualification for promotion to the first division in 2000 by defeating Recreativo with great difficulty.

Since the promotion, Osasuna has been struggling to avoid relegation. After the end of last season, for the sake of the club's finances, they sold their top scorer Pablo Garcia and bad boy Morales, and received 7.5 million euros to barely maintain the operation of the club.

But after selling their top scorer, Osasuna's performance this season is very good. So far, they have surpassed Sevilla and ranked fourth in the league, fourth in the first half of the league. This result has surprised many experts and media.

Real Madrid is now only third in the league, with the same points as second-placed Valencia, and is one place lower than the latter due to the win-loss record.

The media are also very interested in the battle between the third and fourth place, because Osasuna is the dark horse of La Liga this season. This team drew with Barcelona and defeated Valencia. So can they defeat Real Madrid this time and become a killer of giants?

No one knows.

This sparked interest among fans and the media.

Unlike the previous game, before this game, the head coaches of both teams declared loudly that their teams would win. They all wanted to win a game for the team before Christmas as a gift to the fans.

Perhaps the battle situation this season has given Osasuna such high morale, or perhaps the coaching change at Real Madrid has made them feel very hopeful of winning. In any case, Osasuna actually started an offensive battle with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium.

This caught the Real Madrid players completely off guard, and before they could react in time, Osasuna scored a goal at the start of the game.

This was a long-planned sneak attack. Osasuna took advantage of the kick-off and launched a quick break. After a few passes, the ball reached the feet of the opponent's striker Milosevic. After receiving the ball, Milosevic turned around and broke through Ramos, and a low long shot made the score 0:1.

After the goal, Osasuna coach Alai jumped up from the coaching booth excitedly.

This sneak attack was successful. In his opinion, the situation is likely to be under the control of the team. Real Madrid has never been good at playing against the wind. Real Madrid, which has just changed its coach, is even more powerless in this regard. They will definitely be in chaos.

As for the black-haired kid who scored 6 goals in two games after returning to Real Madrid? Alaj never believed that he would score goals as soon as he played. Although scoring so many goals showed that this black-haired kid was very strong, Real Madrid was in a mess. How difficult would it be for him to score goals by relying on one person's ability?

Perhaps, a week ago, Alleghe's theory was correct.

But a few days ago, Real Madrid players saw Wang Li's long-range shooting ability, and they realized that dribbling is not Wang Li's strongest point, and the ability to shoot from a long distance is the real skill of this black-haired boy.

This made them all full of confidence.

One goal behind?

With this black-haired boy on the field, is the team still afraid of not scoring a goal?

Therefore, Aleji did not see a Real Madrid in chaos, but found that Real Madrid played more methodically, which made him a little confused. He looked at Real Madrid coach Carlo in confusion, thinking, "Is this new coach so powerful?"

He can only attribute this to Real Madrid's new coach.

But no matter what Aleji thinks, the game goes on.

Before the game, Carlo emphasized that the team should play with the momentum of Real Madrid in this game, so the Real Madrid players did not even think about staying in the penalty area to defend, but instead launched a large-scale attack when they had the chance, which made Osasuna extremely passive for a while.

They are just a dark horse, but definitely not a top team. There is indeed some gap in the strength of the two teams.

This kind of attack continued, and the strong pressure was bound to find many opportunities. So, in the 17th minute of the first half, Wang Li received a pass from his teammate on the penalty area line, and a sharp long shot left the opponent's goalkeeper helpless, and Real Madrid equalized the score.

This goal caught Osasuna head coach Haller off guard. He felt that the situation on the field seemed to have changed, but before he could make adjustments, Real Madrid scored again, and the goal was scored by Zidane.

On the right side of the opponent's penalty area, Wang Li's breakthrough was caught by the opponent's player. The referee awarded a free kick, and Zidane scored in one fell swoop, changing the score to 2:1.

The goal was far from over.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Zidane made a long free kick in the midfield to the left side, Robinho headed the ball into the penalty area, and the opponent's full-back Ossette made a mistake in clearing the ball with his head in the penalty area. Taking advantage of the gap, Wang Li easily received the ball and easily shot the ball into the net from 8 meters away from the goal.

Seeing this score, Alaj knew that the team had no hope. It was too difficult to catch up after falling two goals behind Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium. In order to save the team's face, he decisively chose to let the team shrink the defense and drag the game into the midfield.

He succeeded.

Facing Osasuna's iron defense, even Wang Li had no way to deal with it, and the first half ended in this way.

During the half-time break, the atmosphere in the Real Madrid locker room was very good, but Carlo still asked the team to play in the second half with the same momentum as in the first half. So, in order to have a wonderful Christmas, Real Madrid players still insisted on besieging the opponent's goal in the second half.

Under such a strong attack, Osasuna's goal was lost again in the 75th minute of the game. This time the goal was scored by young player Soldado who came on as a substitute. After Wang Li attracted most of the firepower, the young player was left unguarded. He easily pushed the ball into the empty net and helped Real Madrid score the fourth goal.

This is also Soldado's first league goal of the season. As a player who was temporarily dropped from the second team to the first team, it is very good to be able to score a goal.

At this time, everyone in the stadium thought that the game would end like this. With the score at 4:1, Real Madrid could completely stop. However, what they didn't expect was that Real Madrid could still score a goal.

In the final moments of the game, Wang Li, surrounded by three opposing defenders, made a low shot, causing the opponent's goalkeeper Ricardo to lose the goal for the fifth time.

This was also his third goal of the game and another hat trick.

At the post-match press conference, Alage had nothing to say. Before the game, he thought there was nothing wrong with the black-haired boy of Real Madrid, but now he thinks the biggest reason for the team's failure is his opinion.

Two teams had already fallen, and now due to his own negligence, Osasuna had also fallen.

5:1, this game was really a heavy blow to the team.

Three games, three hat-tricks, Real Madrid fans jokingly call Wang Li the 'hat-trick master', which is a supreme honor.

Real Madrid's top scorer Ronaldo scored 9 goals in half a season, while Wang Li only had three games. This is the real gap. As they are both Real Madrid's main strikers, the gap is really too big.

After the game, Wang Li was interviewed by Marca. When the reporter asked him how he felt after scoring a hat trick in three consecutive games, Wang Li smiled and said, "This is a gift I gave to Madrid fans before Christmas."

"I have been in Madrid for half a season. I have received a lot of salary but have not been able to play a single game for Real Madrid. Now I can play and half of the season is almost over. I can only do my best to make the last game more exciting and the team's results better as a Christmas gift for the fans."

"So in the second half of the game, do you still have the confidence to maintain your form?"

Wang Li nodded and said, "Of course, I came here to win honors. I will always maintain my form to help the team and myself win all the honors."

The next day, Marca published an article titled "Allen's Championship Declaration"

In the article, they said: "Allan has scored three hat tricks in three consecutive league games since his comeback. At this moment, we only know Allen's name. He is the most dazzling star in La Liga. In an interview yesterday, Allen emphasized that he will make every effort to win more honors for Real Madrid."

"...Real Madrid's goal is to win the league, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League"

After the Marca report came out, many media outlets began to criticize Wang Li for being "arrogant and conceited", especially Mundo Deportivo, which supports Barcelona. They said that Wang Li was a player who specialized in bragging to attract fans' attention. Finally, they commented: "He has some ability, but he is too arrogant. If he wants to become the king of football, he needs more ups and downs and training."

"We cannot deny Allen Wang's strength, but he is very proud. If he continues like this, he will suffer setbacks sooner or later. This young man is only 19 years old, and his psychological endurance may be very fragile. If he can withstand a few blows, he may become a true king of football."

Perhaps what these media said made sense, but Wang Li didn't care about these reports at all.

After the game, he and Angela went directly to visit David Beckham. In the match against Malaga, Beckham was injured by the opponent and his injury was very serious. Wang Li has a very good relationship with him. He is very worried about Beckham's injury and his mental state.

Beckham's biggest wish is to participate in the World Cup and lead the England team to victory. If his injury affects the World Cup, it will definitely be a big blow.
