Chapter 1102 He Wants to Win!

After the first round of the league against Real Betis, Real Madrid soon received a piece of bad news.

In an afternoon training session, Harvey Alonso injured his right foot and was immediately sent to La Moraleja Hospital for examination. The MRI first revealed a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot, and he will be out for at least three months.

This is definitely bad news, especially before playing Atletico Madrid.

Harvey Alonso had a pubic surgery this summer, but he recovered quickly, but no one thought that he would be injured again so soon, which is indeed surprising, but helpless.

After all, he is already thirty-one years old. As he grows older, injuries will definitely follow.

As for the metatarsal fracture, it is exactly the same as the injury Marcelo suffered in the national team last season. As a result, Marcelo has been in confinement for more than three months, and his condition is not stable after returning. Therefore, Real Madrid is all right. Via Alonso felt sympathetic and helpless.

Fortunately, in the position of midfielder, Real Madrid introduced Illarramendi this summer, plus Modric and Herrera, Real Madrid's personnel reserves in this position are still relatively ample, and the impact will not be as big as Marcelo is so big.

But the absence of Xabi Alonso will definitely have some impact on Real Madrid.

...

Harvey Alonso's test results came out at night. Except for Yang Yang and a few close friends who knew him that night, the other players didn't get the news from the coaching staff until the next morning, but ha Vi Alonso still came to Valdebebas on crutches.

Like Marcelo, his injured right foot was tightly wrapped, but the Spanish midfielder smiled and encouraged his teammates.

"I have already signed an agreement with the doctor. I will definitely come back before the tenth round of the Camp Nou!" Harvey Alonso said confidently, obviously he also attaches great importance to this game.

Not only him, but Real Madrid also pay attention to it, because Barcelona has already issued a gauntlet.

The 7-0 score in the first round of the league is like the charge of Barcelona. They want to use the momentum of the Champions League to overwhelm Real Madrid in one fell swoop. If Real Madrid can't stop Barcelona in the Nou Camp, it will definitely boost the momentum further. Barcelona's arrogance.

"You don't need to worry about Barcelona, ​​I will take care of it." Yang Yang patted Harvey Alonso on the shoulder with confidence and smiled, "It's you, you are getting older, pay more attention to your health and don't come back It’s good to be as potbellied as someone when you’re there.”

Everyone felt Yang Yang's strong self-confidence first, and then they were amused by his last sentence.

All the players in the team last season knew that Yang Yang hit the guy named Marcelo.

After raising it for three months, the foot injury was healed, but at the same time, it also became fat.

Everyone burst into laughter, even the new players who didn't know what was going on, quickly learned the cause and effect from the old players, and they all followed suit. Only Marcelo was so angry that he was jumping up and down, constantly threatening to kill him. He refused to connect with Yang Yang on the court and refused to pass the ball to him.

But everyone knew that he was just joking.

This summer, the offense of Real Madrid's two flanks is the key problem for the coaching staff to solve. The cooperation between Marcelo and Hazard is the most important thing. How to coordinate the lines of the two and how to distribute the ball. They are all particular.

Especially in the midfield there are David Silva, Isco and Modric, they all like to have the ball, and these need to be resolved.

Today's Real Madrid has a lot of problems. This is a hidden danger, but it is also a potential.

When all these problems are solved, then this Real Madrid team will be invincible!

Three days after finishing the first round of La Liga, Real Madrid ushered in the first round of the Spanish Super Cup.

A guest at the Calderon Stadium to challenge Atletico Madrid.

Atlético de Madrid have transferred a lot of players this summer, the biggest of which is the top star Falcao who moved to Monaco for a sky-high price of 60 million euros, but Diego Costa chose to stay in the team under the poaching of Chelsea, and the sheets The Legion introduced David Villa from Barcelona at a low price of 5.1 million euros.

Interestingly, Atletico Madrid introduced Demichelis from Malaga in a free transfer, but sold it to Manchester City for 5 million euros in a blink of an eye, but in the position of central defender, Simeone introduced Uruguayan rookie Jimenez and Ajax rookie Alderweireld.

Yang Yang has an impression of Alderweireld. He and Vertonghen are the strongest central defenders in Ajax after Vermaelen, and they are also favored by many professionals. It has fallen, and its reputation in Europe is not particularly loud.

However, before the game, Ancelotti has repeatedly stressed that he is most worried about Atletico Madrid's defense.

Goalkeeper Courtois, the defense is Felipe, Godin, Miranda and Juanfran, the four midfielders from left to right are Turan, Gabi, Mario Suarez and Koke, the frontcourt It was Villa and Diego Costa.

In this season's main lineup, except for Villa, all are Atletico Madrid's players from last season, but it is precisely because of this that Ancelotti is more familiar with Atletico Madrid, and he also specially watched the season of the Sheets Legion. All the game videos of the pre-warm-up match and the first round of the league, and in the end, he gave an extremely high evaluation.

"This season's Atletico Madrid defense has basically taken shape under Simeone's training. This will be a very scary team. They even have the strength to challenge for the La Liga championship, and at least have the defensive ability to compete in the Champions League semi-finals."

Ancelotti's comments made Real Madrid attach great importance to them, but even so, they still played very passively at the beginning of the game. Atletico Madrid adopted high-intensity pressing and oppression at the beginning and played very fiercely.

In less than a minute, Turan on the left received a yellow card for defending Carvajal, but in the second minute he sent a cross in a counterattack, but Villa's header failed to pose a threat.

Courtois performed very well. He saved Yang Yang's single shot in the fourth minute. The timing of the attack was very timely. He is also tall and has long hands. As soon as Modric passed into the penalty area, he had already judged it and quickly Attack.

In the 12th minute, in a quick counterattack, Turan once again hit behind Carvajal and passed in from the left. The extremely experienced Villa ran out of the gap and hit the volley, opening the scoring for Atletico Madrid. .

After taking the lead, Simeone's team began to defend steadily and never took advantage of the situation, especially restricting Yang Yang.

Miranda and Godin, the two central defenders, stayed close to Yang Yang almost every step of the way, while Mario Suarez and Gabi were still in the midfield. They did not give Yang Yang any chance or space, making Yang Yang almost suffocated.

In the second half, Real Madrid began to make adjustments. Yang Yang expanded his area of ​​activity. Hazard and Robben began to actively penetrate the penalty area, which caused some trouble for Atletico Madrid's defense.

In the 66th minute, Carvajal made up for it and went forward to the edge of the penalty area and sent a cross. Hazard was in the left corner of the small penalty area. When the ball hit the ground and rebounded, he headed the ball into the goal, equalizing the score for Real Madrid. .

Afterwards, both sides failed to make any further gains, and finally settled in a one-on-one draw.

...

After the game, Real Madrid summarized.

Atletico Madrid is indeed very difficult to deal with, especially their pressing and defense.

Ancelotti bluntly said that Simeone has integrated Italy's defense into Atletico Madrid's system and built this team into an iron army. "They may be the most surprising dark horse in La Liga this season and even the Champions League."

For such a team, no one can come up with a good solution, because their defense rarely makes mistakes.

Facing a team that has no weaknesses in defense, strong integrity, and high tactical execution ability of its players, while not easily risking mistakes, no team can come up with a good solution, including Barcelona.

In the first round of the league, Atletico Madrid played Sevilla and had less than 35% of the ball possession. In the first round against Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid had only 30% of the ball. However, they defeated Sevilla 3-1 away and 1-1 at home. The draw with Real Madrid shows how difficult this team is.

In other words, they are restraining Real Madrid in the same way that Real Madrid restrained Barcelona.

What's even more troublesome is that Suarez continued to be suspended in the early part of the season due to his biting incident in the Premier League last season, which made it difficult for Real Madrid to organize effective offensive changes.

On August 25, Real Madrid challenged Granada away.

The opponent was not strong. Although Real Madrid was playing away from home, they still formed a siege on Granada, but they were unable to score. Only in the tenth minute, Di Maria made a pass from the right, and Hazard was The ball was directly passed to Yang Yang on the left side of the penalty area. Yang Yang followed up and hit the shot, scoring the only goal for Real Madrid.

In the end, they beat Granada 1-0.

In another matchup at the same time, Atletico Madrid made a rotation, but defeated Rayo Vallecano 5-0 at home.

Raul Garcia scored twice, Diego Costa, Turan and Thiago each scored one goal.

Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, relied on Messi's hat trick to beat Malaga 5-0 in an away game and continue to lead the La Liga standings.

In two rounds of games, they scored a net of 12 goals and conceded zero goals. Barcelona completely overturned everyone's impression of them overnight and played a wave of offensive. The whole world was amazed by this team.

Atletico Madrid also relied on the exciting matchups in the first two rounds to rank second in La Liga, just behind Barcelona.

On the other hand, Real Madrid's performance in the first two rounds was not ideal, and they were forced to settle for fifth place, even behind Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal.

...

In midweek, in the second round of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid returned to their home court and launched a strong attack on Atletico Madrid.

The Sheets Army still set up their iron barrel formation, completely giving up the offense and defending their own half with all their strength.

Faced with Simeone's defensive formation, which was almost like steel and concrete, Real Madrid bombed indiscriminately in the first half to no avail, and continued to attack in the second half, but still gained nothing.

However, the one-to-one away score allowed Real Madrid to still win the championship even if it was zero-to-zero at home.

Unexpectedly, in the 72nd minute, Simeone made a substitution and replaced Turan with scorer Adrian, brazenly strengthening the frontcourt attack.

He wants to win!

Especially want to capture the Bernabeu!
