Chapter 1073 Two-game losing streak

One to zero!

Chinatown finally defeated Atletico Madrid one-to-zero with the opening two minutes of the game, with Hesse's key winning goal, winning the second championship trophy of the new season.

One European Super Cup, one Spanish Super Cup, and two championship trophys in Chinatown's new season have greatly excited more than 40,000 fans on the scene, and has also made many media questioning Chinatown before the game have become speechless.

The only thing they can say is that Chinatown's performance in these three games was not satisfactory, and they basically did not show their own characteristics. Zidane's rotation strategy was very obvious, especially in the midfield, but basically did not play in an orderly manner.

This also made many media expressed concern, believing that after Chinatown letting Virati go, although they received a transfer fee of 100 million euros, they did not use this money to sign up. This is obviously a weakening of their own strength. At the same time, it also stated that the La Liga in the new season will teach Chinatown a painful lesson.

For example, before the league starts, Ass, AS, produced a special issue for the season preview, which analyzes the winning situation of this season's La Liga. Their most optimistic is of course Real Madrid, which is a large sum of money this season.

"Pellegrini is a very lucky head coach..."

Ass began with this introduction to Real Madrid's head coach, because the Chilean engineer was able to continue to stay in Real Madrid's coach position. Neither Ancelotti nor Zidane favored by Florentino could make it, and leaving Chilean engineers was a relatively reasonable choice.

Real Madrid has invested heavily in signing up this season and invested huge sums of money. The three players, Neymar, Aguero and Toni Kroos alone, spent 300 million euros in the Galaxy battleship. In addition, Navas, who shined in the World Cup, Hernandez, who came on loan from Manchester United, has indeed improved the overall strength of Real Madrid a lot.

Everyone believes that the frontcourt trident of Neymar, Aguero and Gareth Bale, the best World Cup midfield combination of Jameel Rodriguez and Tony Cross will surely help Real Madrid make rapid progress in the new season and achieve even better results.

But there are also hidden dangers, that is the team's defense line.

After last season's game, Albiol and Bruno Alves have proved not to be stable enough. This summer, Real Madrid invested heavily in the frontcourt, but never signed on the back line, which made many people worry whether the Galaxy battleships will continue to repeat the mistakes they had in the first phase.

Compared with Real Madrid's crazy signings, Barcelona's signings are also very strong.

Suarez was introduced from Paris Saint-Germain for 100 million euros, Mathieu was introduced from Valencia for 20 million euros, plus Borussia Mönchengladbach's goalkeeper Ter Stegen, Real Sociedad goalkeeper Bravo, Arsenal center back Vermullen...

Barcelona also invested nearly 200 million euros in the transfer market, which is a big deal.

Atletico Madrid also performed amazingly this summer. Unlike Real Madrid selling Diego Costa and Barcelona selling Fabregas, the Bedding Legion not only left all the players in the team this season, but also introduced two stars, Sanchez and Godin, plus players such as Mandzukizi, Jimenez, and Sikela.

The Bedsheets Legion's net investment of 170 million euros even made them surpass Barcelona and became the team that invested the most after La Liga and even European football.

For Atletico Madrid, this year's large investment is due to the significant increase in revenue last season, especially in the Champions League. In addition, after the new stadium was launched in the past few years, the club's revenue has greatly increased. The team has accumulated a huge net worth, and now it can finally be used to compete with the two Western Premier League champions for their financial resources.

Although he lost to Chinatown in the Spanish Super Cup, no one will change his expectations for Atletico Madrid because of such a useless event. Everyone firmly believes that the Bedding Team is still the most competitive team in the La Liga this season.

Head coach Simeone also said that the joining of Mandzuki and Sanchez allows the team to have more choices in their playing style, changing the wrong impression of Atletico Madrid in the past that the outside world advocates power.

Simeone also said that he is full of confidence in the La Liga in the new season and firmly believes that the team will definitely be able to laugh to the end.

The arms race between the three La Liga heroes has also become a highlight in the European football transfer market this summer, greatly enhancing the popularity and influence of the La Liga. However, as the new UEFA Champions League champion, Chinatown's performance in the transfer market was greatly deducted points.

Except for the unknown Kingsley Koman, Chinatown has not introduced any other players. Even Kovacic, who plays for Dynamo Zagreb, was originally regarded as filling the vacancy of Veratti to make up for the team. As a result, Kovacic still returned to Dynamo Zagreb after the new season.

Could it be that Zidane plans to continue to compete in the new season with such a lineup?

What makes people worry about the prospects of Chinatown is even more worried about the schedule of the new season.

According to the schedule released by the Spanish Football Association, the opening match of this season is Chinatown's home match against Real Madrid. This strong dialogue will officially trigger the fierce competition in the new season of La Liga.

But after playing Real Madrid, the second round will be to challenge Real Sociedad away, followed by two weeks of national team match day, and then the home match against Atletico Madrid will officially kick off at this time.

Such a schedule is definitely a big test for Chinatown. Zidane's team must enter the state from the beginning of the season, otherwise they may be lagging behind.

…………

…………

On the evening of August 23, in the southern suburbs of Madrid, the Royal Stadium of Qatar, Chinatown.

The first round of the new season is the opening game of La Liga again, attracting world attention.

Zidane and Pellegrini also sent their main players to fight.

Chinatown still lined up a 433 formation, with goalkeeper De Gea, defense line being Moreno, Devri, Varane and Danilo, midfielder Ilia Lamendi dragging back, Pogba and Isco breaking forward, and the front trident is a combination of Hazard, Firmino and Dybala.

At the beginning of the game, Chinatown took advantage of its home court advantage and successfully controlled the ball.

Pellegrini's team was obviously a bit restrained. Tony Cross and James Rodriguez took over the midfielder, while the drag was handed over to Felipe Melo. Facing Chinatown with good personal abilities, Real Madrid's midfield defense thickness was slightly weaker.

In addition, the defense line was unstable, so Pellegrini's opening goal was to stabilize his position and played more conservatively.

Chinatown is playing steadily, focusing on the way of passing and controlling, and advocating control more.

The two teams are testing each other. Real Madrid's frontcourt is full of superstars. Neymar, Aguero and Garez Bale are all superstars, but in terms of pressing and oppressing in the frontcourt, in addition to Garez Bale working harder, Neymar and Aguero are still focusing more on offense.

This gave Chinatown's midfield and backcourt more opportunities to get the ball and control the ball. Varane and Devre are also good players, so Chinatown's advantage in possession after the opening game is very obvious.

But Real Madrid's advantage lies in the super personal abilities of Neymar and Aguero. They can almost create a threat to Chinatown's defense line with just one goal, and they have indeed created many opportunities.

Until the 30th minute of the first half, Pogba's assist helped Firmino score the first goal of the game.

This is also Chinatown's first goal this season!

After leading by 1-0, Chinatown played more relaxed. Real Madrid once counterattacked, but Pellegrini did not dare to push the defense line up. He must have been worried about the gap left by Albiol and Bruno Alves before and after.

After the second half of the game, Chinatown continued to play steadily and scrutinize Real Madrid's defense with the advantage of possession. Finally, in the 72nd minute, after Isco dribbled the ball and broke through forcibly, Hazard scored and expanded the score to 2-0.

But it seemed that two goals were behind, which gave Pellegrini the courage to let go. Moutinho replaced him and Real Madrid midfielder began to play more aggressively, and the game began to enter a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle.

Finally in the 90th minute, Tony Cross assisted Aguero to score a goal.

With the goals of Firmino and Hazard, Chinatown narrowly defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home.

…………

After a small victory over Real Madrid, the draw for the Champions League group stage was also newly released.

Chinatown's signing luck was not ideal. Unlucky, he won Chelsea in the Premier League, Schalke Zero 4 in the Bundesliga, and Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League. Such signing luck is really depressing.

But Zidane encountered Mourinho, and such a showdown was quite interesting.

What's more, behind Zidane was the great god Gao Han.

On August 31, La Liga ushered in the second round, and Chinatown challenged Real Sociedad away.

The start was as smooth as ever. In the fifth and eleventh minutes after the opening, Chinatown took the lead by 2-0 with goals from Devry and Griezmann.

But before the first half was over, Real Sociedad's central defender and Igor Martinez, who was from Chinatown youth training, used a corner kick to win a game for Real Sociedad.

After the second half of the game, Real Sociedad frequently used counterattacks to create threats, and Sulutusa and Bella scored two goals in a row, and finally reversed Chinatown three to two.

After only two rounds of the new season, Zidane's team suffered a defeat, and the problem of unstable defense was exposed.

Although Varane and Devrey are of good strength and have quite good potential, they are still a little younger and immature.

This defeat also makes people worried about the start of Chinatown, especially the third round will face Atletico Madrid, with two weeks of national team competitions between the two rounds.

As expected, in the third round of La Liga two weeks later, Chinatown lost a goal in just ten minutes at home, and the old player Schneiderlin scored a goal for Atletico Madrid, and the assist was Herrera.

After that, Chinatown equalized the score, Hazard created a penalty kick and took the penalty himself.

But the two sides continued to fight hard for an entire hour until the 86th minute, Juan Fran assisted Tulan to score a goal, helping Atletico Madrid defeat Chinatown 2-1 away.

This disappointed the fans of Chinatown who had originally hoped for a new start on the new stadium. The league curse of the Bedding Legion will obviously continue to be shrouded in Chinatown.

After two consecutive losses, Chinatown's ranking in La Liga quickly fell to 13th, while Barcelona and Atletico Madrid led La Liga with three consecutive victories, while Real Madrid ranked third with two wins and one loss.

When Chinatown suffered two consecutive defeats in Spain, Gao Han appeared in Beijing.
