Barcelona drew 1-1 with Real Madrid at home, losing the Super Cup 2-4 in total, but the public opinion after the game was a bit surprising, because many media focused on the first draw in two years, rather than Barcelona losing the Spanish Super Cup.

The Catalan media all spoke in unison, saying that Barcelona's performance in this game was still improved compared to the first leg, especially in defense. The defensive arrangement against Yang Yang was quite successful. Apart from conceding a goal, Yang Yang did not perform too much, which would also be Barcelona's subsequent opportunity.

"Breaking the curse of losing streak against Real Madrid in the past two years, Barcelona in this game undoubtedly saw gratifying progress."

But most media, including Barcelona's godfather Cruyff's column, are still the same as before, criticizing Real Madrid for their conservatism, believing that Ancelotti's tactic of taking the three-middle midfielder is also quite conservative.

Cruyff even sarcastically said, "When will Ancelotti fulfill what he said at the debut ceremony and bring offensive football to Real Madrid? He looks even more conservative than Benitez in this game!"

"Yes, he got the championship, but he failed to fulfill his promise to the fans."

Media such as Marca and Ass, which prefer Real Madrid, have said that Real Madrid failed to defeat Barcelona for the first time in two years, but from the process of the game, Real Madrid's performance is still worthy of recognition. Ancelotti still brought out something eye-catching, such as Kaka's back row insertion many times in the game, which is very eye-catching.

"After the game, Kaka was elected the best player in the game. In an interview with the media, he said that his back insertion was instructed by head coach Ancelotti. The head coach allowed him to play freely according to the situation on the court, and with the support of his teammates, so he often chose to insert, which changed the game."

Kaka expressed surprise for his first change in the midfield, but at the same time he was able to accept it because he felt very good.

"In fact, I still play football the same as before, but my position is relatively backward. But after leaving the area where the opponent is focusing on guard, I feel that my vision is wider. No matter which position I play, I completely follow the head coach's arrangements."

In addition to Kaka, Real Madrid has another new player to appear in this game, that is Luka Modric.

The Croatian midfielder replaced Xavi Alonso in the second half, but he performed in a rather average manner, conceding two mistakes, causing Barcelona to counterattack quickly, but neither conceded.

However, the Croatian midfielder's investment in the game, especially the active counter-attack and large-scale running, left a deep impression on people. Everyone did not doubt his ability and felt that he needed some time to adapt.

Yang Yang said in an interview with Real Madrid's official website after the game that Modric is a very outstanding top midfielder.

"I've seen his European Cup performance in Croatia, and I've also seen his game at Tottenham Hotspur. I have no doubt that he has the ability to become a top midfielder, but now he's rashly transferred from the Premier League to La Liga, which takes some time to adapt. After all, this is a very unfamiliar environment for him."

After joining Real Madrid, Modric once told the media that he joined Real Madrid because he received an invitation from Yang Yang. After last year's Champions League match, Yang Yang invited him to Real Madrid, and was later reported by media reporters. After Modric came to Real Madrid, he also moved into the Lamorareja community. Yang Yang was mentioned in several interviews.

Regarding this, Yang Yang expressed his honor and affirmed that Modric would become the key combat force of Real Madrid.

"We all know that he is a very special and unique player!"

Real Madrid picked up the Spanish Super Cup from the Camp Nou Stadium, and after returning to Madrid, it aroused a warm welcome from Madrid fans.

But the new season is approaching, Real Madrid dare not be careless at all. The club has not arranged any celebrations, but this does not prevent fans from spontaneously celebrating in downtown Madrid.

Due to the lack of salary from players, Spanish football strikes have led to the first round of La Liga, which was originally scheduled to be held on weekends, it is definitely not possible to be held on time. As for whether the second round of the league can be held on time, it depends on whether the Spanish Players' Union and the Football Professional League can reach an agreement.

Therefore, after playing the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid has a full week to prepare for the European Super Cup match against Porto.

This Portuguese Super League team won the triple crown last season, namely the Portuguese Super League champion, the domestic cup championship, and the UEFA Cup champion. Boas, the former Mourinho assistant, also became famous and became a famous young coach in Europe. This summer, he was invited by Abramovich to take over Stamford Bridge.

Real Madrid is confident in playing Porto, but they dare not be careless, especially considering that after playing Porto, if the strike ends, Real Madrid will play in the second round of La Liga next weekend, challenging Zaragoza away and running back and forth, but the pressure is still quite large.

Therefore, despite winning the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid did not celebrate. Ancelotti just gave the team a day off and then continued to lead the team to carefully prepare for the next schedule at the training base of Valdebebas.

…………

…………

On the evening of August 24, the Spanish Players' Union issued a formal statement saying that after long-term negotiations, the Players' Union and the Football League officially reached an agreement that the player strike originally planned to be held from August 26 to 29 was cancelled.

As soon as this excellent news spread, it immediately caused a shock in Spain and even among La Liga fans all over the world.

In order to ensure the interests of the players and avoid the incident of delaying wages and arrears of wages and arrears of wages again, the Football Professional League agreed to the requirements put forward by the Players' Association, including salary deposits. If the player is owed wages for more than three months, he has the right to terminate the contract.

This is also to maximize the interests of players in mid- and lower-level teams, because according to the survey results of the Player Union, many teams have serious arrears of players' salaries in the middle and lower-level La Liga, especially in low-level leagues.

Now that the problem has been resolved, the two sides have reached an agreement, the strike will naturally be lifted.

Real Madrid heard the news after arriving in Monaco, and the whole team was happy about it.

The next afternoon, after finishing the training that day, Real Madrid went to the Grimalti Convention Center in Monaco for a short rest to participate in the annual Champions League group stage draw and award ceremony held by UEFA here.

After the merger of the French Football Golden Ball Awards with FIFA World Football, UEFA also cooperated with the European Sports Media League to launch a new European Best Player Award. The original single awards of four positions were cancelled.

This new European best player selection range includes players who play in various UEFA Football Association leagues. It is voted by football reporters from 53 European countries and regions. After the first round of voting, the top three were produced, and then the second round of voting was conducted on the spot to determine the ranking of the top three.

Yang Yang led the way in the first round of voting, ranking first, Messi followed closely behind, and Cristiano Ronaldo ranked third, which basically represents the view of the three superstars in the entire world football world. Yang Yang is a stand-alone team, surpassing Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

But this is a brand new award, so the ranking of the last three players depends on live voting, and this award was scheduled tonight's finale.

...

As the defending champion and one of the eight seed teams, Real Madrid was not lucky in the draw. The second draw was the old enemy Lyon, the third draw was Yang Yang's old club Ajax, and the fourth draw was Dynamo Zagreb, which is Modric's old club.

This is the first time that Yang Yang encountered his old club in the Champions League after leaving Ajax and Liverpool. It is also the first time that he returned to the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium as a visiting team five years after leaving Ajax. He is very curious and doesn't know how Ajax fans will treat him?

Lyon, Ajax and Dynamo Zagreb are not easy to play. The advantage is that they don’t have to travel long distances, but the disadvantage is that these three opponents are not bad at all. Real Madrid is better, but they must not be careless.

If Real Madrid's luck is not ideal, then Bayern Munich's luck is extremely bad.

The Bundesliga class bully was drawn to Group A and met Villarrell, Manchester City and Naples. This is definitely a group of death. However, Yang Yang's old friend Van Gaal was dismissed after the end of last season, so how lucky Bayern is to draw lots has nothing to do with Yang Yang.

Barcelona are lucky. Although AC Milan was drawn in the second gear, Borisov in the third gear and Pilson Victoria in the fourth gear could not shake Barcelona, ​​so there was no suspense in their group.

When Real Madrid saw the opponent drawn by Barcelona, ​​they were all sighing. This luck was really great.

Not to mention anything else, at least Barcelona's UEFA Champions League group stage is much easier than Real Madrid, and they draw the two weakest teams in the third and fourth levels. What else can you say besides applauding this luck?

But no matter what, Real Madrid is not afraid of any opponent, whether it is Lyon, Ajax and Dynamo Zagreb, it cannot shake Real Madrid's top position in the group. As long as Real Madrid plays steadily and does not make major mistakes, the first place in the group is basically a sure win.

...

After the lottery, the atmosphere in the conference center became warmer again.

Platini came to power, first donated one million euros to the Street Football League on behalf of UEFA, and then specially invited three candidates, Yang Yang, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, to the stage for a brief interview.

Little Luo's expression looked quite lonely because he knew very well that he was destined to be with him.

Whether from personal performance or from the club platform, he is not as good as Yang Yang and Messi.
