After playing Real Betis in the first round of the league, Real Madrid quickly received an unfavorable news.

During an afternoon training session, Javi Alonso suffered an injury to his right foot and was immediately sent to Lamorareja Hospital for examination. The MRI first had a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot and would be absent for at least three months.

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

Xavi Alonso had a pubic surgery this summer, but he recovered very quickly, but no one expected that he would be injured again so quickly. This was indeed surprising, but helpless.

After all, he is already thirty-one years old, and as he grows older, injuries will definitely follow one after another.

Speaking of metatarsal fractures, this is exactly the same as the injuries Marcelo suffered in the national team last season. As a result, Marcelo has been in recuperated for more than three months and is not in a stable state after returning. Therefore, Real Madrid all felt sympathy and helpless about the experience of Xavi Alonso.

Fortunately, in the midfielder position, Real Madrid introduced Ilia La Mendi this summer, plus Modric and Herrera, Real Madrid has a relatively abundant personnel reserve in this position, and the impact will not be as great as Marcelo.

But Xavi Alonso's absence will definitely have some impact on Real Madrid.

...

The results of the inspection of Xavi Alonso came out at night. Except for a few friends who were close to him, Yang Yang knew that night, the other players did not get news from the coaching staff the next morning, but Xavi Alonso still came to Valdebebas with crutches.

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

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

Not only him, but also Real Madrid also attaches importance to it, because Barcelona has already issued a letter of war.

The seven-to-zero in the first round of the league is like Barcelona's charge. They want to take advantage of the momentum of the Champions League championship to defeat Real Madrid in one fell swoop. If Real Madrid cannot stop Barcelona at the Camp Nou, it will inevitably further boost Barcelona's arrogance.

"You don't have to worry too much about Barcelona, ​​I will solve it." Yang Yang patted Xavi Alonso's shoulder with confidence and smiled, "But you, you are old, pay more attention to maintaining your body. Don't just be as big as someone when you come back."

Everyone first felt Yang Yang's strong confidence, and then they were amused by his next words.

All the players on the team last season knew that Yang Yang was hitting the guy named Marcelo.

After raising it for three months, my foot injury was cured, but I also developed a fat body.

Everyone burst into laughter. Even the new players who were unknown soon learned the cause and effect from the old players, and they were all happy. Only Marcelo was so angry that he jumped straight there, threatening to refuse to connect with Yang Yang on the court and not pass the ball to him.

But everyone knows that he is just joking.

This summer, Real Madrid's two wing offenses are a key problem that the coaching staff will solve, and the cooperation between Marcelo and Hazard is the top priority. There are some considerations on how to coordinate the two's lines and how to distribute the ball rights.

Especially the midfielder, David Silva, Isco and Modric, all like to get the ball, which needs to be solved.

There are many problems with Real Madrid today, which is a hidden danger, but it is also potential.

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

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

Visit Calderon Stadium and challenge Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid has transferred many players this summer, the biggest brand is the number one star Falcao transferred 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 Bedding Legion introduced David Villa from Barcelona at a low price of 5.1 million euros.

Interestingly, Atletico Madrid introduced Demikalis from Malaga's free transfer, but in a blink of an eye it sold it to Manchester City for another 5 million euros. However, at the central defender, Simeone introduced Uruguayan rookie Gimenes and Ajax rookie Aldevelde.

Yang Yang has an impression of Alderweireld. He and Fertonheng are both the strongest central defenders in Ajax after Fermall, and have also been favored by many professionals. However, the Eredivisie has declined in recent years and its reputation in Europe is not particularly well-known.

However, before the game, Ancelotti repeatedly emphasized that what he was most worried about was Atletico Madrid's defense.

Goalkeeper Courtois, with the defense line of Felipe, Godin, Miranda and Juan Fran, the four midfielders were Turan, Gabi, Mario Suarez and Cork from left to right, and Villa and Diego Costa in the front court.

In the main lineup of this season, except Villa, all of them are Atletico Madrid's players last season, but it is precisely because of this that Ancelotti is more familiar with Atletico Madrid. He also watched all the videos of the pre-season warm-up match of the Bedding Legion and the first round of the league. In the end, he gave a very high evaluation.

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

Ancelotti's evaluation made Real Madrid pay great attention to it, but even so, the game was still very passive at the beginning. Atletico Madrid adopted high-intensity pressing and oppression at the beginning of the game, and the game was very fierce.

In less than a minute, Tulan on the left received a yellow card for defense by Kavajal, 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 attack was very timely, and he was tall and had a long hand. As soon as Modric passed into the penalty area, he had already judged it and attacked quickly.

In the twelfth minute, a quick counterattack, Tulan hit behind Carvajal again, and made a cross from the left. Villa, who had extremely rich experience, ran out of the gap and volleyed, hitting the first record for Atletico Madrid.

After scoring a goal, Simeone's team began to defend themselves and never greedy for success, especially the restrictions on Yang Yang.

Miranda and Godin, the two central defenders, almost stood firm against Yang Yang, while Mario Suarez and Gabi, gave Yang Yang no chance or space, which almost suffocated Yang.

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

In the 66th minute, Kavajal made up for the result and stepped forward to the edge of the penalty area to send a cross. Hazard was in the left corner of the small penalty area. When the ball landed and rebounded, he headed the ball into the goal to tie the score for Real Madrid.

Neither side was able to make any more achievements, and finally shook hands and made peace one by one.

...

After the game, Real Madrid made a summary.

Atletico Madrid is indeed very difficult, especially their pressing and oppressing and defense.

Ancelotti said bluntly that Simeone integrated Italy's defense into Atletico Madrid's system and made the team 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 is almost no mistakes.

Facing a team that has no weaknesses in defense, is strong in overall strength, has high tactical execution, and does not easily make mistakes, no team can come up with a good way, including Barcelona.

In the first round of the league, Atletico Madrid played Sevilla with a ball possession rate of less than 35%. In the first round of the game, the Bedsheets Legion had a ball possession rate of only 30%. However, they defeated Sevilla 3-1 away and drew Real Madrid 1-1 at home, which shows how difficult this team is.

Or it can be said that they are using Real Madrid to restrain Barcelona to restrain Real Madrid.

What's even more troublesome is that Suarez continued to be suspended in the early stage of the season because of his biting people 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 is not strong. Although Real Madrid is playing away, it still has a siege against Granada, but it has no point. In the tenth minute, Di Maria made a cross from the right, and Hazard directly stopped the ball to Yang Yang on the left side of the penalty area. Yang Yang followed up and shot, scoring the only goal for Real Madrid.

In the end, it beat Granada by one to zero.

In another matchup at the same time, Atletico Madrid rotated, but defeated Vallecano five to zero at home.

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

Barcelona continued to lead the La Liga standings with Messi's hat-trick, defeating Malaga five-to-zero away.

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

Atletico Madrid also ranked second in La Liga with its wonderful showdown in the first two rounds.

In contrast, Real Madrid's performance in the first two rounds was not ideal, and was forced to rank fifth, even lagging behind Athletic Bilbao and Villarrel.

...

In the middle of the week, in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid returned to their home court and launched a strong attack against Atletico Madrid.

The bed sheet army still set up an iron barrel formation, completely gave up the attack, and defended its own half with all its strength.

Facing the defensive formation of nearly reinforced concrete discharged by Simeone, Real Madrid failed to bombard the first half, but continued to attack in the second half, but still gained nothing.

However, the away game score was 1-to-1, allowing Real Madrid to win the championship even if they were 0-to-0 at home.

But unexpectedly, in the 72nd minute, Simeone substituted the player, replaced Tulan with scorer Adrian, and boldly strengthened the frontcourt offense.

He wants to win!
Chapter completed!
