Super Marshal

Chapter 1071 Two consecutive losses

One to zero!

In the end, Chinatown defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 with the help of Jese's key winner in the first two minutes and won its second championship trophy of the new season.

A European Super Cup and a Spanish Super Cup, Chinatown's two championship trophies in the new season greatly excited the more than 40,000 fans present, and also made many media who questioned Chinatown speechless before the game.

The only thing they can say is that their performance in the three games in Chinatown was unsatisfactory and they basically failed to show their own characteristics. Zidane's rotation strategy is very obvious, especially in the midfield, but they basically failed to show their own characteristics. Organized.

This has also caused many media to express concerns. They believe that after Chinatown let go of Verratti, although they received a transfer fee of 100 million euros, they did not use this money to make signings. This is obviously a violation of their own strength. Weakened, but also said that the new season of La Liga will teach Chinatown a painful lesson.

For example, AS, which is close to Real Madrid, produced a special season preview before the start of the league, which analyzed in detail the situation of winning the La Liga this season. Of course, their most promising one is Real Madrid, which has invested heavily in signings this season. .

"Pellegrini is a very lucky manager..."

AS started the introduction of Real Madrid's head coach because the Chilean engineer was finally able to stay on as Real Madrid's coach. Neither Ancelotti nor Zidane, who were favored by Florentino, were able to do so. If the trip is successful, leaving Chilean engineers is a relatively reasonable choice.

Real Madrid has invested heavily in signings this season. Neymar, Aguero and Toni Kroos alone have spent 300 million euros on the Galaxy. With Gas and Hernandez on loan from Manchester United, Real Madrid's overall strength has indeed improved a lot.

Everyone believes that the front three of Neymar, Aguero and Gareth Bale, and the best midfield combination of James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos will definitely help Real Madrid win the championship. The new season has made rapid progress and achieved even better results.

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

After last season's games, both Albiol and Bruno Alves proved to be not stable enough. This summer, Real Madrid invested heavily in the frontcourt, but never made any signings in the defense. Many people are worried whether Galaxy Battleship will continue to make the same mistakes as the first issue.

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

Suarez was introduced from Paris Saint-Germain for 100 million euros, Mathieu was introduced from Valencia for 20 million euros, plus Monchengladbach goalkeeper Ter Stegen, Real Sociedad goalkeeper Bravo, Assen Nazionale defender Vermaelen…

Barcelona has 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 who sold Diego Costa and Barcelona who sold Fabregas, the Madrid team not only retained all the players in the team this season, but also introduced Sanchez and Gore in one go. The two big stars Ding, plus Mandzukic, Jimenez, Siqueira and other players.

The Sheets Legion’s net investment of 170 million euros even allowed them to surpass Barcelona and become the team with the most investment after Real Madrid in La Liga and even European football.

For Atletico Madrid, this year's large investment is due to the substantial increase in revenue last season, especially in the Champions League. In addition, after the opening of the new stadium in the past few years, the club's revenue has greatly increased, and the team has accumulated a With a huge net worth, he can finally use it to compete with the Western Premier League duo for financial resources.

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

Head coach Simeone also said that the addition of Mandzukic and Sanchez allows the team to have richer choices in playing style, changing the past wrong impression of Atletico Madrid advocating strength.

Simeone also said that he is full of confidence in the new season of La Liga and firmly believes that the team will have the last laugh.

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

Except for the little-known Kingsley Coman, Chinatown has not introduced any other players. Even Kovacic, who plays for Dinamo Zagreb, was originally seen as filling in for Villa. Ti's vacancy filled the team, but after the new season, Kovacic still returned to Dinamo Zagreb.

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

What makes people even more worried about Chinatown's prospects is the schedule for the new season.

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

But after playing Real Madrid, we will go to an away game to challenge Real Sociedad in the second round. After that, there will be two weeks of national team match days, and then there will be a home game against Atletico Madrid. At this time, the Champions League will also officially kick off. .

Such a schedule is definitely a big test for Chinatown. Zidane's team must be in form from the beginning of the season, otherwise, it is likely to fall behind others.

…………

…………

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

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

Zidane and Pellegrini also sent their main players to play.

Chinatown still arranged a four-three-three formation, with De Gea as the goalkeeper, Moreno, De Vrij, Varane and Danilo in the defense, and Illarramendi in the midfield, with Pogba in the middle. In front of Isco, the front trident is a combination of Hazard, Firmino and Dybala.

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

Pellegrini's team obviously also played a bit cautiously, with Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez in the midfield, and Felipe Melo was left behind to face personal abilities. In Chinatown, Real Madrid's midfielder's defense is a bit weak.

Coupled with the instability of the back line, Pellegrini's opening game was aimed at stabilizing the position and played more conservatively.

Chinatown, on the other hand, plays steadily, focusing on pass-and-control play, with more emphasis on control.

The two teams are testing each other. Real Madrid's frontcourt is full of superstars. Neymar, Aguero and Gareth Bale are all current superstars. However, in terms of pressing and pressing in the frontcourt, apart from Gareth Bale, In addition to working hard, Neymar and Aguero still focus more on offense.

This gives Chinatown's midfielder and backfield more opportunities to get and control the ball. Varane and De Vrij are also good players, so Chinatown's ball control advantage after the opening is very obvious.

But Real Madrid's advantage lies in the super personal abilities of Neymar and Aguero. The two of them can threaten Chinatown's defense almost as soon as they get the ball, 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 the first goal in Chinatown this season!

After leading 1-0, Chinatown played more relaxedly. Real Madrid once counterattacked, but Pellegrini did not dare to press the defense. He must have been worried that Albiol and Bruno Alves would press forward. The gap left.

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Chinatown continued to steadily use its ball control advantage to pull and test Real Madrid's defense. Finally, in the 72nd minute, after Isco forced a breakthrough with the ball, Hazard scored with a wonderful pass. Extending the score to two to zero.

But it seemed that being two goals behind gave Pellegrini the courage to give it a try. Moutinho came on as substitute, and the 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, Toni Cross assisted Aguero and scored a goal.

With goals from 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 announced.

The lottery luck in Chinatown is not ideal. I was unlucky enough to get Chelsea in the Premier League, Schalke in the Bundesliga, and Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League. Such luck is really depressing.

But when Zidane meets Mourinho, this matchup is quite interesting.

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

On August 31st, La Liga ushered in the second round of matches, Chinatown challenged Real Sociedad away from home.

The start was as smooth as ever. Chinatown took a 2-0 lead with goals from De Vrij and Griezmann in the fifth and eleventh minutes after the opening.

But before the end of the first half, Real Sociedad's central defender Igor Martinez, who was born in the Chinatown youth training, used a corner kick to get Real Sociedad back in the game.

After changing sides in the second half, Real Sociedad frequently used counterattacks to create threats, and Sulutusa and Vela scored two goals in a row. In the end, they reversed Chinatown 3-2.

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

Although Varane and De Vrij are both capable and have great potential, they are still a bit young and immature.

This defeat also makes people worried about the start of Chinatown, especially since the third round will usher in the bitter host Atletico Madrid, and there are two weeks of national team games between the two rounds.

Sure enough, in the third round of La Liga two weeks later, Chinatown conceded a goal at home in just ten minutes. It was old player Schneiderlin who scored a goal for Atletico Madrid, and the assister was Herrera.

After that, Chinatown once equalized the score. Hazard created a penalty kick and took it personally.

But the two sides continued to fight hard for a full hour, until in the 86th minute, Juanfran assisted Turan and scored a goal, helping Atletico Madrid defeat Chinatown 2-1 away from home.

This has disappointed Chinatown fans who originally hoped for a new start in the new stadium. The curse of the league will obviously continue to hang on Chinatown.

After two consecutive losses, Chinatown's ranking in La Liga has dropped sharply to 13th, while Barcelona and Atletico Madrid lead La Liga with three consecutive victories, and Real Madrid ranks third with two wins and one loss.

When Chinatown suffered two consecutive defeats in Spain, Gao Han showed up at BJ.

Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy finally began his visit to China.
