Chapter 486 Mourinho and Wang Li (1)

On March 27, in the 30th round of the La Liga, Real Madrid faced Deportivo La Coruna at home.

Since the 29th was the first round of the European quarter-finals between Real Madrid and Chelsea, Carlo fielded a substitute lineup for this match, and the main players were only a few people such as Wang Li, Guti, Ramos, etc. However, in the home game, the fans' mentality was still optimistic, and Wang Li's appearance played a role in stabilizing the morale of the team.

In the game at the Bernabeu, it was really difficult for Deportivo La Coruna to exert its full strength. Under the pressure of more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans, Deportivo La Coruna's players were unable to get into the game state for a long time after the opening, which made Real Madrid's performance in the first half very exciting.

However, the other players seemed to have no shooting boots, or the offensive players of the second team were too excited at the Bernabeu. Wang Li passed the ball to them many times in the first half, but none of them went in.

So, to be on the safe side, Wang Li decided to do it himself, so in the 31st and 37th minutes of the first half, Wang used his technical strength to win two goals.

This kind of performance is very common for Wang Li, but the Real Madrid players still cheered enthusiastically for his goal.

Although they are used to his goals, Real Madrid fans will not mind Real Madrid scoring too many goals. If possible, they would like to cheer like this throughout the whole game. In any case, scoring goals is something to be happy about.

However, during the half-time break, Carlo still replaced Wang Li and Guti.

In order to cope with the match against Chelsea the day after tomorrow, it is worth taking a little risk in the league. Now in the match at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid is leading by two goals. Carlo is not too worried. After all, in this situation, if Real Madrid still loses, they don’t have to play the rest of the games at all. It is impossible for them to win the championship with this kind of performance.

After Wang Li and Guti left the field, Real Madrid almost turned into an all-substitute lineup, but this Real Madrid lineup is still stronger than that of Deportivo La Coruna, and these substitute players have not played for a long time, and their performance was very active in the home atmosphere.

So, in the second half, striker Raul scored another goal to help the team lead by 3 goals.

In the final stage of the game, Deportivo La Coruña scored a goal to save face. The game ended with 3:1. Real Madrid won three more points in the league and still led La Liga.

It is worth mentioning that in this round of the league, Barcelona also defeated Sevilla 3:1. The two teams still have the same points. Real Madrid only sits at the top of the league with a goal difference advantage.

On March 28, the day after the match with Deportivo La Coruna, Wang Li got up very early and drove directly to the Real Madrid training base on the outskirts of Madrid.

Normally, Wang Li likes to run to training, but for today's training, Carlo asked the players to train at Real Madrid's training base instead of in the club, so Wang Li had no choice but to drive.

While waiting for the traffic light on the road, Wang Li turned on the radio, which was playing a program from Madrid Radio.

This is a football program with Spanish characteristics.

In this program, some fans will be specially invited to comment on the upcoming games. However, the program will not invite more than one fan, nor will it invite only fans who support one team. What is going on in the current program is a quarrel between two fans.

"Barcelona will be the winner. Real Madrid is too bad. They lost three goals in the last game. I still believe that Barcelona will win. My favorite player is Ronaldo." When Wang Li turned on the radio, he heard a fan say this.

And immediately another voice came out: "Oh? You said you like that idiot who looks like an alien? I really don't know how God created man to look like that. You like him? Are you also a fan of El Zihot (an ugly minister in ancient Spanish legend, implied irony)?"

The ridiculed fan was obviously unwilling to be outdone, and he immediately hit back: "You are the Elzhot fan!! Your whole family is Elzhot fan!!"

"Haha, you are angry. You Catalans only have imaginations. You become arrogant after winning a game. No wonder you always lose to Real Madrid!"

"The score can prove everything. You are the losers!"

The quarrels on the radio sound very interesting, and the host always likes to add fuel to the fire. These radio programs like to use the hatred and insults between fans to create some hype and attract the audience's attention.

As a Real Madrid player, Wang Li just treats this as daily entertainment.

In Spain, many shows are very interesting and imaginative, which is different from the conservative Germans. Such shows rarely exist in England.

Amid the cursing sounds on the radio, Wang Li had already arrived at Real Madrid's training center.

After entering the training center, Wang Li walked in slowly. Speaking of which, after the construction of this training center was completed, Real Madrid's training in the first half of the season was generally conducted here.

However, since Christmas, Real Madrid's schedule has become tighter, and most of the team's training is done directly in the club, mainly because it is very convenient there. But today, head coach Carlo asked the players to come here.

The training ground was very lively.

This was the last day of training before Chelsea came to the Bernabeu. The players were all very serious. When Wang Li arrived, half of the team had already arrived. Wang Li looked down at his watch and the time shown was only 8:30. Generally speaking, Real Madrid's daily training would not start until 9:30.

It can also be seen from here how serious the Real Madrid players are now. At least they all came early on their own initiative.

Before the big game, they are more or less nervous and will consciously strengthen their training. They hope that the team can win the game.

Although it was very special to come to the training base, Carlo's training method remained unchanged, and the players still focused on condition training.

The so-called condition training is to let the players find the game status before the big battle. The intensity of this training is not high, but the content is classified into many categories. The facilities of the training base are much better than those in the club stadium. After jogging, the players can enter the training room and choose the training programs they need.

There are many kinds of training programs, such as using some props to train passing and dribbling, and using some equipment to exercise and find the physical condition, etc. Wang Li did not do anything special, and his training was no different from that of other players.

This kind of training is a bit too simple for Wang Li, but he has been able to maintain his condition. After training with his teammates, he is used to doing shooting training with Casillas. This training is the focus of every day.

Why can Wang Li shoot so accurately in the game.

The first reason is the assistance of internal force.

With the internal force of Xiao Wuxiang Gong, Wang Li always has enough power when shooting, but the shooting angle depends on feeling, after all, there is no time to adjust during the game.

Second, it is because of mentality.

Having lived three lives, Wang Li rarely gets emotional. No matter what the situation is, Wang Li rarely gets dizzy. He is always calm. This calmness allows him to make the most accurate judgments and choices, and keeps his shooting very efficient.

Finally, it has a lot to do with Wang Li’s usual training.

Normally, he almost never stops training long-range shots every day. Although Casillas has sworn to God that he will no longer train with Wang Li on powerful long-range shots, Wang Li has insisted on this training for several years. He has been training his shooting continuously, and that shooting feeling is absolutely correct. Even if he is facing an empty goal like a target, he can still train his long-range shooting ability facing the goal post.

With these three points, Wang Li's shot is so threatening.

Not only Wang Li, but other teammates at the Real Madrid training center were also very serious today. At least there were few fights on the training ground today. Tomorrow is the match against Chelsea. It is better to sharpen your weapons before the battle. Everyone understands this truth. At this time, it is important to adjust your physical condition and perform at the highest level on the court.

After training that night, Carlo asked all Real Madrid players to stay in the training center.

Wang Li and Beckham lived in the same players' dormitory. After dinner, the two stayed in the dormitory, chatting and surfing the Internet. At this time, Wang Li received a lot of text messages.

Most of them were sent by friends at Chelsea. Lampard, Joe Cole, Thomas and others all sent him several messages.

That evening, Chelsea had already arrived in Madrid by plane. After they had arranged their hotel stay, Wang Li's friends all remembered him and sent him messages.

Tomorrow is the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea. The teammates who once fought together in the league and Europe have now become opponents. This feeling is very strange, a little disappointed and a little excited.

Wang Li read the text messages one by one. Wayne Bridge sent a funny message: "Tomorrow I will conquer the Bernabeu."

Thinking about the look on Bridget's face when he said this, Wang Li couldn't help but laugh out loud.

All these former teammates have come to Madrid. It has been a long time since they last met, and Wang Li misses them a little. But when they meet tomorrow, they will become rivals. Friends are friends, and rivals are rivals. Wang Li knows the difference very clearly.

Wang Li is very much looking forward to the match against Chelsea. The first reason is that the players in Chelsea are his former teammates and he will have a sense of accomplishment if he beats them. The second reason is related to Chelsea's decision.

Originally last summer, Wang Li had no intention of leaving Chelsea and hoped that everything would take its course, but he did not expect Chelsea to sell him to Real Madrid.

This is a kind of grudge.

"Am I only worth 200 million euros?" It would be a lie to say that Wang Li didn't feel a bit indignant.

Now, he has the opportunity to prove his worth by coming to Real Madrid and leading Real Madrid to eliminate Chelsea in the Champions League. What better way to show his worth than this?

At the same time, in the Madrid Severo Hotel, Mourinho was sitting in the room, frowning at the tactical board.

After the results of the Champions League quarter-finals came out, he has been studying strategies to fight against Real Madrid, the most important of which is strategies to limit Wang Li's performance.

At this time, he already regretted selling Wang Li.

In the summer, the main reason for selling Wang Li was that Wang Li was suspended for half a year. No one could guarantee whether such a player could still be in good shape after half a year, and the price offered by Real Madrid also made Chelsea tempted.

Therefore, he decided to sell Wang Li after discussing with Abramovich.

And now, he has to face the bitter consequences.

Many Premier League coaches have studied ways to limit Wang Li's performance, but Mourinho has not. What he studied is how to use Wang Li to achieve the maximum benefit, which is completely opposite to limiting Wang Li's performance.

Now, he also has to study how to limit Wang Li's performance, otherwise Mourinho knows very well that Chelsea will definitely face a loss, there is no doubt about it.

Mourinho knows Wang Li very well. He knows that as long as Wang Li can perform at his best, Chelsea will have no chance at all. Think about a player who scores three goals in a single game. If he performs normally, he will definitely score three goals for Chelsea. Mourinho does not believe that Chelsea will be bad.

Mourinho did a lot for this work. Almost the next day after the result of the match came out, he asked the team's defense line to start practicing relevant tactics.

This is a defensive tactic against one player.

Mourinho did not specify who he was targeting, but Chelsea players could more or less guess it. In fact, they did not have much confidence in the game.

They had to be serious in the face of the black-haired kid who could almost get past Chelsea's entire defense line by himself. In the recent Real Madrid games, the performance of this black-haired kid was also shocking, with an average record of three goals per game, which made everyone daunted.

"He is stronger than before." Mourinho had to admit it.

However, he is confident that he can defend Wang Li because he knows Wang Li very well. But even if he can restrict Wang Li's performance, will Chelsea definitely win?

You can’t say for sure!

Real Madrid also has many other stars, such as Robinho, Guti, Baptista and Beckham, all of whom are players that need special attention. In Mourinho's mind, these young offensive players are the biggest threat to Chelsea.

As for Ronaldo and Zidane? The Portuguese simply disdains them. It is not easy for such players who are in a declining state to have an impact on Chelsea.

"Well, maybe we should move back a bit," Mourinho said to himself as he looked at the tactical board.
