Mister Legend

Chapter 31 Comprehensive suppression
In the ninth round of La Liga that night, Real Madrid encountered tenacious resistance from Celta Vigo in the away game. The visiting team, who did not take advantage of the scene, finally relied on the personal abilities of Ronaldo and other stars to win 3-1 from Bale. Doss Stadium is undefeated.Erdegaux and Mbappe sat on the bench for the whole game. Li Mudi, who saw this scene on TV, could only shake his head and let out a sigh.

A few days later, Li Modi, who had sorted out his mood, came to the training ground and held a coaching staff meeting for this week, preparing to make tactical arrangements for the next league opponent.When Solari came over, he handed over a notice, which was sent by Benitez. This week Erdegao will return to the reserve team, while Mbappe will temporarily stay in the first team and start the next round of the league. Before deciding whether to enter the competition list.This also means that the French teenager will continue to miss this round of the Second Division B League, because he missed all the training in Castilla, even if he is eligible to play, he will not be able to form a tacit understanding with his teammates.If he is unable to play in the first team next weekend, Mbappe will not be able to play in official games for 20 days starting from the injury in the National Youth Team. The long-term lack of training in the game will affect the growth of young players. is very disadvantageous.But facing this situation, Li Mudi had nothing to do, all resentment could only be turned into another sigh...

Castilla's next league opponent is the Sestao River Club from the Basque Country. This team has a strong traditional Basque player and a very tenacious style. After ten rounds, 4 With 4 wins, 2 losses and 16 points, they rank seventh in the standings.The strength of the team's players is average, there are no obvious shortcomings, the state is very stable and there are few abnormal situations. The biggest score in the previous game was 2-0. It has never scored more than 2 goals in a single game, and has never Conceded more than 2 goals in a single game.The team's main formation is 4-1-2-2-1, with a single midfielder, double central midfielder, two wingers and a single forward.

Among them, the core of the midfield is the 27-year-old central midfielder Mikel Abaroa. With only 1 assist, he temporarily ranks third in the player rating list with an average score of 7.65. (Mbappe's average score is 8.3, but he has played too few games to enter the ranking. The top two are Alvaro and Enzo of Castilla for the time being) This player has suddenly risen this season , Both offensive and defensive ends have performed extremely well, with an 82% pass success rate and 80% steal power, which can be said to be phenomenal.

In addition, the 23-year-old right winger Hernandez is also a sharp weapon for the team. The related attributes of speed and technique are around 14 or 15. Breaking through is a headache for defensive players.He suffered some contusions in his tibia in the last round and it is not yet known whether he will be able to play against Castilla.

Apart from these two key players, left winger Lafuente and center Gito are all very capable guys, plus Gago and Cabello on the defensive line, the Sestau River team's ranking can be stable. The front row is also very normal.

However, the shortcomings of this team are also very prominent, that is, the age of the main players is a bit too old. Among the 11 main players, 30 are over 5 years old, which is very rare in the second division B league.The defensive core Cabello and the main center Guito are both 35 years old. The negative effect of physical constraints on the entire team is very obvious. Among the 7 goals conceded by the team in the first ten rounds of the league, 4 Lost in the last 25 minutes, 2 of which were lost in the last 7 minutes of the game.

This information was easily found by Li Mudi using the FM system, and it was something that he never paid attention to when playing this game in his previous life. Unexpectedly, the basis for becoming a qualified head coach in reality is to be an advanced football manager game player first. Who would believe it!
On Saturday, October 10, at 31:20, Castilla ushered in the second game of two consecutive home games.There was also good news before the game. Hernandez, the main player of the visiting team, missed the game due to repeated injuries. Castilla's defense line was slightly relieved.

Castilla's starting lineup for this game: goalkeeper Yanez, right back Dani, center backs Bernabeu and Leon, left back Abner, center backs Odegaard and Fabas, midfielder Enzo, Right winger Alvaro, left winger Lin Liangming, center Mariano, there are several rotations in the lineup.

After the opening, the home team quickly took the initiative. The main offensive method was to make a cross from the wing and use Mariano's young body to attack the visiting team's defense. After not cutting inside to attract Avaroa, he transferred the ball to the right.When defending, Lin Liangming moves closer to the middle, cooperates with Enzo to interfere with Avaroa, and does not allow the opponent's core to play normally on both offensive and defensive ends.

In the first half, the visiting team used its rich experience to deal with the home team. Although the scene was relatively passive and the offensive end did not perform at a normal level, it did not give the home team any opportunity.In the end, Castilla ended the first 59 minutes with 4% ball possession, 2 shots, and 45 shots on target. The score was 0-0.

During the half-time break, the two teams seemed to be satisfied with the score, so no adjustments were made, and the beginning of the second half was still the same as before.The stalemate lasted until No. 606 minutes. The visiting team took the lead to make substitutions. The central defender Cabello faced repeated attacks from the Dominican black boy who was 13 years younger than himself. In the confrontation, Mariano lost his balance as soon as he leaned on his body, so he had to pull the opponent down with his hands before falling to the ground. While stopping the attack, he also received a yellow card.Seeing his defensive core in a mess on the field, the head coach of the Sestauhe team couldn't bear to replace the old captain with Slovenian defender Kubas.

No. In the 70th minute, Alvaro made a pass back from the bottom of the right. Dani, who inserted the assist, passed the ball without stopping. There was no one around when Mariano took off and headed the ball. The opponent's goalkeeper couldn't make a save, and the ball smashed into the lower left corner of the goal. 1-0, Castilla lead at home.

Six minutes later, the home team made a comeback.Peperu, who came off the bench, succeeded in stealing the frontcourt and caught the Sestau River team who had just turned from defense to offense by surprise. He suddenly slipped forward when Avaroa got rid of Enzo and was about to dribble forward. With a shovel, he kicked the ball to Enzo's feet.Facing a defense line with only two central defenders left, Enzo made a cyclist feint and passed the ball straight into the vacant space caused by the pressure of the right back. The ball cuts inside to form a single pole.After the first shot was blocked by the goalkeeper with his feet, he was lucky to get the second spot and pushed the ball into the empty goal.The visiting team, which was two goals behind, completely lost the will to resist. They replaced the striker with a defensive player, intending to give up the offense and not concede more goals.

In the end, Castilla, playing at home, did not break the record that their opponents conceded no more than 2 goals in a single game, but it was a complete victory both in terms of statistics and tactics.It can be said that after three consecutive poor performances, Li Moody's team quickly adjusted its state. In the last two games, it has fully demonstrated the dominance of the league leaders. The confidence of the media and fans in the rookie coach has gradually recovered. .

On November 11st, the whole team had a holiday on the second day after the game.Li Moody used this month's scouting tool, and in the general environment where the abilities of all players have generally increased, he found that Mbappe did not make any progress last month, and his state has declined.In the La Liga league played later last night, the French teenager once again entered the squad for the game, but he still didn't get 1 minute of playing time.Seeing that his development has stagnated again today, Li Modi's resentment towards Benitez has reached a new high after crossing, and after hastily recording the situation of this month's opponent, he simply cleaned up and got up and left the apartment. Walk towards the Castilian office building.

Coming out of the office of the chairman, Mr. Francisco, Li Moody's heart was very heavy.The old man said that he could do nothing in this situation. The chairman of the reserve team has no status in front of the coach of the home team. Although he has a good relationship with Lafayette, it is obviously wrong to convey this message to the coach through the chairman. Inappropriate.

On the way back to the apartment, the unwilling Li Mudi called Qi Zu again, and the feedback he got was still not optimistic. Words such as "try his best" and "little hope" kept eroding his sanity, and finally Li Mudi went "crazy" "Are.

I walked back to the office building, found the team's public relations manager Garcia, and got a phone number from the editor-in-chief of "Marca" from him...

On November 11, beside the training ground of Castilla, Li Moody received an exclusive interview with Simon Harrison, a columnist of "Marca".The topic of the interview has been focused on Real Madrid’s youth training players. The Castilla coach introduced in detail the efforts and growth of this youth army, and finally called on the first-team bosses to stop waving checks all over the world to buy. Players should pay more attention to their own backyard. The young people here will never let them down.

This exclusive interview was published on the Marca official website the next day, and the reporter took advantage of the topic after Li Mudi talked about youth training.Listed the results of the next three rounds of the league since Benzema was injured in the Madrid derby in the seventh round of the league.Although Real Madrid has won three consecutive victories, facing three opponents whose strength is far inferior to their own, Benitez's tactics of putting Ronaldo on top of the center position did not produce much effect, whether it is ball possession efficiency or The chances created are on par with the opponents, and winning can only be attributed to the super personal abilities of the superstars.Finally, it is suggested that when the Zhengyin striker is missing, can the reserve team's star of hope, Mbappe, be given a try. He may be a qualified substitute for his fellow Frenchman.

This article did not attract much attention in the first place. Youth training is the top priority of each team. For a (local) giant like Real Madrid, even if it is mainly to introduce big-name stars, But the slogan of attaching importance to youth training should also be shouted from time to time.Just when people thought this was another routine "headline party" soft article, the weekend league gave them a big surprise.
