Chapter 265 The beginning of the new season, Real Madrid returns home!

These two games are also the focus of the world's attention. Although the Spanish Super Cup is not as valuable and great as the Champions League championship, this year's Spanish Super Cup is really exciting.

After all, it was the pinnacle showdown between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Even in La Liga, the two teams can only provide fans with such wonderful performances twice a year.

In the Champions League, there are very few opportunities for the two teams to compete. Fans must be heartbroken if they miss such a luxurious football feast.

But it doesn't matter, now this opportunity has come!

Moreover, this is twice in this game!

This time the fans can enjoy watching it. This kind of derby battle is not something you can just watch.

Fans are celebrating the New Year!

In fact, fans of the two teams have different views on this game. Some people think that this cup game is just a warm-up before the start of the season.

Some people think that since Real Madrid is already facing Barcelona, ​​there is no such thing as a friendly match!

Could there be a friendly match between Real Madrid and Barcelona? What a big joke!

Just do it!

Forget about the Spanish Super Cup, even if one day Real Madrid and Barcelona really want to hold a friendly match, it will be a real match. How can there be any friendship between these two teams?

Similarly, this game is also a test of their team's signing results before the transfer window closes.

Real Madrid's changes are relatively few. Vazquez signed from the B team to the first team, Mariano was promoted from the youth team, and Real Madrid's old player Morata was brought back from Juventus for 30 million.

There is undoubtedly no big change in this series of signings.

After all, last season's Champions League championship has proven the persuasiveness of Real Madrid's lineup and it can definitely speak for itself in Europe, so without too many changes, it is the best signing.

In response to Benzema's injury, Real Madrid only strengthened the depth of the lineup at the forward position.

In fact, Mariano can not only play as a forward in Benzema's position, he can also play on the wing. In other words, when Ronaldo, who has just returned from the national team, is too tired, he can also come in handy.

This is a very profitable thing, one player can serve as a standby substitute for two positions!

This signing is definitely worth it.

Cristiano Ronaldo has just finished participating in the 2016 European Cup and is recuperating. This is why Zidane did not take him with him in previous games. It was because Ronaldo had already been injured in the European Cup final.

In this inconsequential game, Zidane did not give Ronaldo a chance to play.

Not long ago, on July 11, the eye-catching 2016 European Cup final kicked off, with Portugal defeating France 1-0.

In the first half, Griezmann nearly scored with a header, Ronaldo retired due to injury, and the Portuguese ace shed tears on the field.

In the second half, both sides mobilized their forces. Sissoko and Nani got scoring opportunities but failed to grasp them. Gignac hit the post and the game entered overtime.

In the 109th minute, Ed made a long-range shot. Portugal won the European Cup for the first time in history.

It is worth mentioning that in the 8th minute of the first half, Payet injured Ronaldo's left knee during a scramble. The Portuguese covered his face and fell to the ground in pain. Ronaldo's painful expression touched everyone's hearts. , when all the fans thought that the Portuguese leader was going to end, he still chose to stick to the game.

However, no matter how strong his mental willpower is, he still cannot resist the heavy blow caused by physical pain. Ronaldo finally indicated that he could no longer hold on. At the 23rd minute of the game, the Portuguese's journey to the 2016 European Cup That seems to be the end of it.

He was upset that he could no longer fight side by side with his teammates. He was sad that he could not help his dream. He shed tears because he was powerless. It seemed that his dream was about to be broken.

Even though a moth cannot fly across the sea, this time Cristiano Ronaldo reached the other side of his dream.

The fierce battle went into overtime. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was passionately coaching from the sidelines, and the desperate players on the court were all fighting for each other's dreams. Eder, who came off the bench, killed the Gallic Rooster with a fatal blow, sending Portugal to the European Championship. Top.

Cristiano Ronaldo left the field due to injury and sent a kiss from a moth. The passion on the sidelines pointed to the passionate title of king. The dreamy summer of 2016 is destined to be the summer of Portuguese football and Cristiano Ronaldo's summer.

This blockbuster superstar was crowned the King of Europe, but for the rest of his life, he could only lie in a hospital bed and recuperate for a while.

Mariano was signed, naturally for this reason.

In the first few games, Zidane boldly used new aid Vazquez and young player Asensio, giving them enough opportunities to play and feel the atmosphere of the game. Fortunately, they can have stability in the next games. of play.

The injuries of Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema not only failed to capsize this Galaxy battleship, but even gave the young players and newcomers in their team a new vitality.

Under the leadership of Bai Ran, this Real Madrid team has won the International Champions Cup and the European Super Cup.

They must be well prepared for the next important event.

On the other hand, Barcelona's signings can be said to be fairly normal. Compared with previous years, Barcelona's income and expenses in the transfer market are not too large.

They already have the most luxurious frontcourt trident in the world, and the midfielders are all highly skilled.

Not only is the lineup in the frontcourt extremely luxurious, with the three South American kings taking the field, even the backcourt is very impressive...

As we all know, Barcelona's defensive end in those years relied on defense and relied entirely on MSN's offensive strength to cover up this problem.

After the end of the 15-16 season, Enrique immediately realized this problem, so in the new season, they also made a large number of backcourt signings, using this as the core to sign many suitable players in the market. candidate.

First up is Andre Gomez.

For 33.3 million euros, Andre Gomez came to Barcelona from the Bat Corps, and moved from red and blue to red and blue. It can be seen how much the midfielder loves these two colors.

The biggest feature of this player is that he has a broad field vision and excellent passing skills, and at the same time, he can dribble forward alone, which is of great help in turning defense into offense.

Although this player looks unshaven, he actually has a slight mysophobia!

Moreover, Gomez possesses the ancient mysterious power of the East.

I don’t know if fans have heard of such a passage.

As soon as Gomez succeeded, it was like a kidney failure on the court.

The second success was Gomez, running like a giant idiot.

Three successes for Gomez, a blessing for the coach.

The fourth success was Gomez, and Rakitic was all wet.

Gomez scored five goals, just a hair short of the title.

Six-time winner of the Goligo ball, and the No. 1 dribbler in Europe.

After seven successes, he became the world champion, and Ronaldo was so abused that he called her mother.

The eight-year-old is the ball king, and his organizational ability is better than that of Bei Huang.

Nine successes led to the goal of winning the title, and Barcelona alone can handle it!

Ten successful Ligo ball champions, eight hundred legs are not enough to defend!

Obviously this is a jingle made up by the fans out of their love for this lovely player. However, his true strength cannot be underestimated.

His height of 1.88 meters and his strong body are extremely rare among players who serve as the core of the midfield. He also has a wide range of activities on the court. He can be seen on the left, center and right of the midfield, and he also relies on his body shape when holding the ball. The advantageous dribbling breaks forward, allowing him to make better passing choices in more threatening positions.

Andre Gomez's performance in terms of statistics is not outstanding. Since his former coach Silva focused on forward passing and dribbling in his style of play, Gomez's midfield brain is not as good at passing the ball. The number of balls and success rate are slightly lacking, but the number of dribbles and success rate are extraordinary.

The second signing is Paco, either from La Liga or Valencia. I'm afraid every team has seen the flirtation between these two teams.

Even the team's god-level forward Paco was given to the big brother Barcelona. Valencia really worked hard!

However, Barcelona also paid a huge sum of money for it, 27 million euros, and landed at Camp Nou from the Bat Corps.

Some fans may think that Barcelona's frontcourt is already very bloated, so why should they buy another forward?

In fact, the answer is very simple, because he is a center. The current bloat is that the midfielders and wingers are bloated, but the center only has Suarez and Messi. In the environment where Messi is retreating more and more, Suarez actually has no substitutes. , Paco solved the problem.

MSN will not suddenly collapse like in the second half of last season. It is rare for a young man to be willing to play as a substitute. Neymar is exhausted at the Olympics, Messi is exhausted at the America's Cup, and Su Ya is already 29, so injuries Problems can easily defeat MSN, and Paco's role can be revealed at this time. Combined with the current turmoil in Valencia, Paco is actually a smart man.

Because the emergence of the above situation will give him a chance to show himself, and it is easier to enter the national team in Barcelona than in Valencia.

Therefore, this transfer is a good choice for Barcelona and Paco himself.

But this was a devastating blow to Valencia.

Mustafi left for 35 million pounds. Although he was reluctant to part with it, it was not that difficult to accept. Paco came to Barcelona for 30 million euros, just like Hummels joined Bayern for 38 million pounds. Their spiritual leader came directly to the enemy camp.

The reinforcement of the backcourt is one of Barcelona's best prospects for the new season. They have spent a lot of money to sign new stars in the backcourt.

Umtiti, who plays for Lyon in Ligue 1, landed at Camp Nou during this transfer window.

This transfer transaction also reached an astonishing 22.5 million, which is already considered a very high value among the players.

This transfer allowed Umtiti to stand on one of the broadest stages in Europe. The aging problem of Barcelona's defense is becoming increasingly serious. Umtiti's arrival has greatly alleviated the pressure on Barcelona's defense. Before this, Mascherano was still the main force of the team, but after Umtiti arrived in the team, he slowly began to digest Ma Ying's playing time.

Umtiti is also a player with extremely high hardness, which is in line with many people’s first impression of him – “black, thick, and hard”. In the team’s physical test, Umtiti was certified as a perfect player. The strongest player on the team, this physicality is also the basic guarantee of his hardness. Some similarities in his playing style allow Umtiti to replace Marco Polo to a certain extent.

Not only that, Barcelona also introduced full-back Diné from Paris Saint-Germain.

The French defender has a strong passing and assisting ability. He sent a total of 48 key passes and assisted 3 times last season. Digne is an offensive full-back, but his performance on the defensive end is not bad either. When playing for Paris Saint-Germain, whether it was steals, interceptions or tackles, the success rate was very impressive.

This transaction also cost Barcelona 14.85 million. The worth of a player worth tens of millions can speak for itself.

A few hours later, Real Madrid's players also got off the plane and returned to their hometown, Madrid, Spain.

After getting off the plane, the players were immediately greeted by a jam-packed crowd of reporters and fans.

They haven't seen these players for a long time, and they miss them from the bottom of their hearts!

Especially Bai Ran, that sunny smile appeared on the TV screen again. The fans saw at close range that Bai Ran's mental state was even better than before, and the fans were also extremely excited.

"Bai Ran! Take a picture!"

"Bai Ran, can you sign your autograph for me!"

"I love you!!!"

The fans were very enthusiastic. Although Bai Ran was a little frightened, he still felt very happy. These fans who supported him were so enthusiastic.

Bai Ran walked to the edge and could only sign autographs and take photos with a few lucky fans. There was really no way to take care of them one by one. Bai Ran apologized and left the airport.

Although other Real Madrid players were also surrounded by fans, you could tell by looking at the size. Bai Ran's queue circle had already filled the entire airport, while the other players had much fewer fans.

Only Modric and Marcelo have more fans. As a new player, Morata also has many fans coming forward to take photos, while only ten or eight others gather nearby to ask for autographs.

Zidane also got off the plane and greeted the fans. Reporters swarmed in and came down to interview Zidane.

"Winning the International Champions Cup, what does that mean to you?"

Zidane finally came back and did not refuse. He invited reporters to the open space inside the airport and accepted interviews.

"This is a very good game. Strong teams from all over the world come to compete with us. We learned a lot during the game and saw the styles and levels of other league teams. I think this is a very meaningful game. "

"In the end we won the championship. This is my second championship coaching Real Madrid (it should be considered a championship). I feel very good now and the players are in good condition."

The reporter continued to ask: "Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 4-1 in the European Super Cup. Did this give you confidence in your La Liga journey in the new season?"

Zidane shrugged: "Undoubtedly it was a wonderful game, everyone played a great role, the Sevilla players also performed well, but our boys are better, aren't they? "

"In the new season, I think we are ready for everything. This actually has little to do with the European Super Cup. Even without this game, we can still see how good our state is. Likewise, this game It doesn’t prove that Sevilla’s condition is not good. On the contrary, I think they are even stronger than last season.”

"But even so, I think Real Madrid are ready to face the new challenge."

This kind of speech also impressed reporters very much. He is calm and domineering, yet low-key and restrained. This is the style of Zidane as a coach.

so cool!

"At the beginning of the new season, Real Madrid will face Barcelona in a two-leg Spanish Super Cup. Are you prepared?"

Zidane nodded: "Of course, this is not only for the Spanish Super Cup, but also for all games in the new season. We are very well prepared and everyone is ready to go. Last season we achieved the double crown. I think this momentum will definitely carry over to the new season.”

The reporter asked again: "So will Cristiano participate in this game?"

"How is his injury?"

Zidane took a breath and said calmly: "During our trip to North America and the campaign in Norway, Cristiano did not go with the team. I asked him to return to Spain early to recuperate. Now he is recovering according to the instructions of the team doctor. The final stage of recovery.”

"After returning to the base, we will conduct physical tests on the Portuguese and if he is in good physical condition, I think I will consider putting him on the list."

"Fans must also hope to see players of Messi and Ronaldo's level playing on the same stage. If possible, I will try my best to meet the fans' expectations."

"Similarly, I also believe that a player of Ronaldo's caliber can bring us victory."

"However, if his condition is not good, it may take some time to adjust. Our Vazquez has also performed well in these games. His growth rate is very good. It is also good for him to be on such a stage early. a good thing."

"In short, everything is going in an orderly manner and Real Madrid is on the right track."

As soon as Zidane's remarks came out, Real Madrid fans went crazy.

This also indicates that in the new season, Real Madrid will face every game with its full strength, which is very important!

Especially Bai Ran's state seems to have been retained into the new season. During the two cup competitions, the Chinese genius' performance was still eye-catching.

And he seems to have found his own rhythm in the midfield, and is becoming more and more versatile in Zidane's system. The previous shortcomings are being solved one by one by the Chinese.

Now defense is no longer an impossible task for him.

So far, this galactic battleship is thriving. I believe Florentino will also be happy to see this scene.

It has to be said that Zidane's coaching ability is so strong that he pulled Real Madrid back from the brink of death when it was on the verge of the darkest period!

A new season, a new mental outlook, Real Madrid will definitely go further.

Fans, wait and see!
