Golden Greenery

Mourinho is still not satisfied with the central defender. Although he has won three consecutive league games, the defense performance is very poor. The victory is all due to the midfielder.

In the Champions League group match with Lyon more than ten days ago, the central defender partnership between Ramos and Pepe was very successful, but the main thing was the beastly Pepe. To be honest, with Pepe in that state, it doesn't matter if he changes his partner to Saihu.

But that's not Pepe's normal situation. Once or twice a year, Mourinho has to consider more about 'human wear' rather than 'animal wear', and can't pin all his hopes on the lottery.

So in the next league, Mourinho planned to continue to use the central defender combination of Ramos + Pepe, but the result was very disappointing to him. Ramos has not changed. The reason is still because of Pepe's condition. It's really bad.

In the match against Lyon, he showed his ability as the best defender in football in ancient and modern times. In these three games, he was a standard half-main player in the second division. The contrast is so great that it can ruin one's outlook.

In the 9th round match against Malaga, Real Madrid defeated Malaga 4:2 at the Rose Garden Stadium. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick and Higuain added the icing on the cake. The two goals conceded later were all related to Pepe. Mourinho replaced him with Varane in the 67th minute. Real Madrid's defense seemed very solid in the final stage.

Kaka also performed poorly in this game. After repeatedly delaying the game, he was replaced by Di Maria in the 64th minute. Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt immediately improved.

In the 10th round of the home game against Villarreal, Real Madrid conceded two more goals, but the score of 5:2 was still considered hearty. Cristiano Ronaldo was misfired in this campaign, and the game remained stalemate until the 40th minute. Zhuo Yang broke through in the middle and blasted Diego Lopez's door with a violent long shot from 30 meters away.

It stands to reason that if the turtle shell is lifted, the rest of the game will be easier to play, but no one expected that right after the start of the second half, Pepe made two mistakes in 7 minutes, once by himself and once by cooperating with Ramos, which directly caused the consequences. Giupese Rossi scored twice to take the lead 2:1.

Frustrated, Mourinho once again replaced Pepe with Varane, and ordered Zhuo Yang to improve his position, and the midfielder changed from three midfielders to two midfielders.

In the 57th minute, Zhuoyang received Di Maria's cross in the penalty area and scored, bringing the score to 2:2. Ten minutes later, Di Maria let Soriano hit his thigh during the scramble and could only limp and was replaced by Kaká.

Zhuo Yang felt very happy when he saw his old friend getting married, but it was the silent Benzema who was the first to enjoy the benefits.

In the 70th minute, Detu turned around to assist Varane in interrupting Kamunas' attack and passed it to Khedira on the left. He made a long pass and accurately reached the feet of Zhuoyang on the wing.

time is money! Zhuoyang didn't even stop the ball. He swept the ball sideways and let it go to the left side of the penalty area. No need to look, there must be a Ronaldo there.

Mr. Luo's chest was as if it were covered with cotton. The football was dropped by his chest with almost no rebound. It was extremely exciting. It's a pity that Diego Lopez is not a vegetarian either. He struck out in time to block Ronaldo's shot with his body.

Benzema was left alone. He couldn't believe his eyes when he looked at the bouncing football. Ronaldo eagerly hoped that he could push football back, but Benzema would rather take the blame than be a fool, 3:2.

Next, it was Kaka's turn to perform.

In the 79th minute, Benzema made a cross pass from the edge of the penalty area, and Zhuoyang knocked the ball with his left foot to Kaka at the top of the arc. The young master suddenly twisted his waist and loosened his hips to the extreme. He dodged a gap and made an arc with his left foot. The football entered the net enchantingly, 4:2.

Just 3 minutes later, Villarreal's corner kick was cleared by Khedira. Kaka ran wildly with the ball and suddenly transferred it to Marcelo. The fart rushed to the front and pushed it to Zhuoyang in the middle.

Zhuoyang passed the ball through, and Kaka suddenly appeared in the originally empty penalty area, and then his left foot. The young master is addicted to his left foot today, 5:2. Kaka has scored 4 goals in La Liga in the new season, one more than Benzema.

On the last day of October, Real Madrid went to the Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian to face their opponent Real Sociedad in the 11th round of La Liga.

In view of the poor performance of the central defender in the previous two games, Mourinho simply made a big change in this game, letting the French teenager Varane, who performed well after coming off the bench in those two games, start, and his partner was Ben New signing for the season is Altentop.

During Zhuoyang's years in the Bundesliga, Altintop was the mainstay of Schalke 04's midfield and was very difficult to deal with. After Zhuo Yang left the Bundesliga for Milan, Top also moved to Bayern on a free transfer. At the beginning, he was very energetic in the midfield, and his number of goals was second only to Klose and Toni in the team. Later, he gradually became a substitute for the central defender.

When the 29-year-old Da Top received the invitation from Real Madrid this summer, he thought someone was joking with him and didn't believe it at all. Later, it was Mourinho who personally made the call, and this made the young man happily pack his bags and go to Madrid.

Real Madrid is interested in Big Top, the most important reason is his free agency. Top is an all-around midfielder, but now Real Madrid's powerful and brilliant midfield cannot allow him to get involved, so he can only rely on his second skill to make a living on the defense line. But he is obviously not very adapted to the technical characteristics of La Liga forward Xiao Kuailing.

Real Madrid took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the 8th minute. Coentrao passed the ball straight into the penalty area from the left. Higuain suddenly accelerated and succeeded in countering offside. Facing the attacking Bravo, Xiao Yanqiang shot with his right foot and scored. 1:0.

However, in the 31st minute of the first half, due to a mistake by Big Top, he was easily dodged by Royal Society winger Prieto. Griezmann easily pushed to equalize the score.

Mourinho replaced Altintop with Marcelo at halftime, Coentrao went to the right wing, and Ramosla returned to the middle to partner with Varane. With such an adjustment, the defense is considered stable, but the front is still weak.

It wasn't until 60 minutes into the second half, when Mourinho replaced Benzema and Kaka, that Real Madrid overtook the score again, and Mr. 150 Million stepped forward again.

In fact, it was Zhuoyang who made the ball for Kaka, but Kaka passed it diagonally to Ronaldo. Ronaldo's furious shot was saved by Bravo, and Zhuoyang rushed to catch up and make a supplementary shot.

In any case, they finally won 2:1. Real Madrid won six consecutive victories throughout October, and La Liga also topped the list with 28 points with 9 wins and 1 draw. It has been a long time since Madrid residents have seen the scenery like this.

The team's brilliant results have concealed internal dissatisfaction. As the leaders of the Spanish gang, captain Casillas and vice-captain Ramos have not spoken to Mourinho for a whole month.

The two of them just listened with their ears and drooped eyelids to the training matters, then turned around and left. Regarding the team's matters outside of training, Mourinho needs club president Florentino to convey them to them.
