Chapter 1102 He wants to win!

After the first round of the league against Real Betis, Real Madrid soon received a piece of bad news.

In an afternoon training session, Harvey Alonso injured his right foot and was immediately sent to La Moraleja Hospital for examination. The MRI first revealed a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot, and he will be out for at least three months.

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

Harvey Alonso had a pubic surgery this summer, but he recovered quickly, but no one thought that he would be injured again so soon, which is indeed surprising, but helpless.

After all, he is already 31 years old. As he grows older, injuries will definitely follow.

As for the metatarsal fracture, it was exactly the same as the injury Marcelo suffered in the national team last season. As a result, Marcelo had been raised for more than three months, and his condition was not stable after returning. Therefore, everyone at Real Madrid felt sympathy and helplessness for what happened to Xavi Alonso.

Fortunately, in the midfielder position, Real Madrid introduced Illarramendi this summer, plus Modric and Herrera, Real Madrid's personnel reserves in this position are still relatively ample, and the impact will not be as great as Marcelo.

But the absence of Xabi Alonso will definitely have some impact on Real Madrid.

……

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

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

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

Not only him, but Real Madrid also pay attention to it, because Barcelona has already issued a gauntlet.

The [-]-[-] score in the first round of the league was like Barcelona's charge. They wanted to use the momentum of the Champions League to overwhelm Real Madrid in one fell swoop. If Real Madrid can't stop Barcelona at the Nou Camp, it will definitely further boost Barcelona's arrogance.

"You don't need to worry about Barcelona, ​​I'll take care of it." Yang Yang patted Harvey Alonso on the shoulder confidently and said with a smile, "It's you, as you get older, you should pay more attention to your health and don't come back with a big belly like someone else."

Everyone felt Yang Yang's strong self-confidence first, and then they were amused by his last sentence.

All the players in the team last season knew that Yang Yang hit the guy named Marcelo.

After raising it for three months, the foot injury was healed, but at the same time, it also became fat.

Everyone burst into laughter, even the new players who didn't know what was going on, soon learned the cause and effect from the old players, and they all followed suit. Only Marcelo was so angry that he jumped over there, constantly threatening to refuse to connect with Yang Yang on the court and not pass the ball to him.

But everyone knew that he was just joking.

This summer, Real Madrid's two wing offenses are the key problems for the coaching staff to solve. The cooperation between Marcelo and Hazard is the top priority. How to coordinate the lines of the two and how to distribute the ball rights are all particular.

Especially in the midfield there are David Silva, Isco and Modric, they all like to have the ball, and these need to be resolved.

Today's Real Madrid has a lot of problems. This is a hidden danger, but it is also a potential.

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

…………

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

A guest at the Calderon Stadium to challenge Atletico Madrid.

Atlético de Madrid have transferred many players this summer, among which the top star Falcao moved to Monaco at a sky-high price of 6000 million euros, but Diego Costa chose to stay in the team under the poaching of Chelsea, and the Sheets introduced David Villa from Barcelona at a low price of 510 million euros.

Interestingly, Atletico Madrid introduced Demichelis from Malaga in a free transfer, but sold it to Manchester City for 500 million euros in a blink of an eye, but in the position of central defender, Simeone introduced Uruguayan rookie Jimenez and Ajax rookie Alderweireld.

Yang Yang has an impression of Alderweireld. He and Vertonghen are the strongest central defenders of Ajax after Vermaelen, and they are also favored by many professionals. It's just that the Eredivisie has declined in the past few years and their reputation in Europe is not particularly good.

However, before the game, Ancelotti has repeatedly stressed that he is most worried about Atletico Madrid's defense.

Goalkeeper Courtois, the defense is Felipe, Godin, Miranda and Juanfran, the four midfielders from left to right are Turan, Gabi, Mario Suarez and Koke, and the frontcourt is Villa and Diego Costa.

In this season's main lineup, except for Villa, all are Atletico Madrid's players from last season, but it is precisely because of this that Ancelotti is more familiar with Atletico Madrid, and he also watched all the videos of the Sheets' pre-season warm-up match and the first round of the league.

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

Ancelotti's evaluation made Real Madrid attach great importance to it, but even so, the game was played very passively at the beginning. Atletico Madrid adopted high-intensity pressing and oppression at the beginning, playing very fiercely.

In less than 1 minute, Turan on the left got a yellow card for defending Carvajal, 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 attack in the 4th minute. The timing of the attack was very timely, and he was tall and had long hands. As soon as Modric passed into the penalty area, he had already judged it and attacked quickly.

In the No. 12 minute, a quick counterattack, Turan hit behind Carvajal again, and made a pass from the left. The extremely experienced Villa ran out of space and hit a volley, opening the scoring for Atletico Madrid.

After scoring the lead, Simeone's team began to defend steadily, never greedy for success, especially the restrictions on Yang Yang.

The two central defenders, Miranda and Godin, stuck close to Yang Yang almost every step of the way, while Mario Suarez and Gabi in the midfield did not give Yang Yang any chance or space, which made Yang Yang almost suffocated.

In the second half, Real Madrid began to adjust. Yang Yang expanded his area of ​​activity. Hazard and Arjen Robben began to actively slant into the penalty area, which brought some troubles to Atletico Madrid's defense.

In the 606th minute, Carvajal made up for his mistakes and went 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 rebounded, he headed into the goal and equalized the score for Real Madrid.

After that, both sides failed to gain anything, and finally shook hands one to one to make peace.

……

After the game, Real Madrid made a summary.

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

Ancelotti said bluntly that Simeone integrated Italy's defense into Atletico Madrid's system and built this team into 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 hardly makes mistakes.

Facing a team with no weakness in defense, strong integrity, high tactical execution ability of players, and at the same time not easy to risk making mistakes, no team can come up with a good solution, including Barcelona.

In the first round of the league, Atletico Madrid played Sevilla with less than [-]% of the ball. In the first round against Real Madrid, the Sheets had only [-]% of the ball. But they defeated Sevilla [-]-[-] away and drew Real Madrid [-]-[-] at home. This shows how difficult this team is.

Or it can be said that they are restraining Real Madrid in the same way that Real Mark controlled Barcelona.

What's more troublesome is that Suarez continued to be suspended in the early part of the season because of his biting 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 in an away game, they are still besieging Granada, but they can't score. Only in the 10th minute, Di Maria made a pass from the right. Hazard stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area and gave it to Yang Yang. Yang Yang followed up and scored the only goal for Real Madrid.

In the end, Granada beat Granada [-]-[-].

In another matchup at the same time, Atletico Madrid performed a rotation, but beat Vallecano [-]-[-] at home.

Raúl Garcia scored twice and Diego Costa, Turan and Thiago added goals each.

On the other hand, Barcelona relied on Messi's hat-trick to beat Malaga [-]-[-] away and continue to lead the La Liga standings.

In the two rounds, with a net score of [-] goals and zero conceded goals, Barcelona completely overturned everyone's impression of them overnight and played a wave of offensive. The whole world admired this team.

Atletico Madrid also relied on the wonderful matchups in the first two rounds to rank second in La Liga after Barcelona.

On the other hand, Real Madrid did not perform well in the first two rounds and was forced to rank fifth, even behind Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal.

……

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

The Sheets Legion still set up an iron bucket formation, completely gave up attacking, and defended their own half with all their strength.

Faced with Simeone's nearly reinforced concrete defensive formation, Real Madrid's indiscriminate bombing failed in the first half, and they continued to attack in the second half, but still got nothing.

However, with a [-]-to-[-] score in the away game, Real Madrid can still win the championship even if it is [-]-[-] at home.

Unexpectedly, in the second minute of No.70, Simeone made a substitution, replacing Turan with the scorer Adrian, brazenly strengthening the frontcourt attack.

He wants to win!

Especially want to capture the Bernabeu!
