96 chapter 96

After a hard-fought win over Deportivo La Coruna in the opening game, Real Madrid threw themselves into preparing for the next round of matches, and perhaps a 'must' was added to this form. Expectations were too high for a star-studded Real Madrid side, so much so that a narrow win would not convince them at all.

After all, although Deportivo still has Belleron, it is not the Super Laco that defeated Juventus, Manchester United, Bayern, Arsenal that was unbeaten in 49 games, blocked Real Madrid's centennial celebration in the Copa del Rey final, and reversed Milan 4:0 in San Siro.

So Pellegrini who is eager to make a big move, Benzema who is completely out of shape in the first game of La Liga, and two new transfer footballers... Everyone was nervous and ready to take the next opponent, the Spaniards. Away to Espanyol, at the El Prat Stadium in Barcelona, Espanyol's new stadium for the new season, is less than a month away from the opening game.

In a midfield vacant due to the departures of Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham, Capello's decision was to use Guti as the central axis controller. And now Pellegrini has Kaka, who is more attacking than playmaking, Alonso who splits the ball and accurate long passes, and has the skilled Van der Vaart in the midfield, Granero, who returned to Real Madrid for his excellent performance in Getafe, as well as Diarra, Drenthe, Gago, and of course, Guti, who is getting older and more demonic.

There are also Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Higuain in the front, and each one can pick up the main pillars in any club. In Pellegrini's view, it seems that the attacking line should not be worried. And the scores of several games also clearly show that it seems that Real Madrid's problem is not that they can't score too many goals, but that they will concede too many goals.

Looking at Real Madrid's backline, Casillas, who has just renewed his contract with Real Madrid until 2017 and has a great hope of winning the FIFA goalkeeper of the season position. Marcelo, Pepe and Ramos are maturing, the experienced Arbeloa and Metzelde and, of course, Francisco Alvarez, who missed a few games that season.

Two or three years ago, when they were young, they were able to meet the requirements of Real Madrid, and now these guys are completely kicked out, but they will drag their feet?

The Real Madrid coach worriedly denied and deleted the tactical plan he made over and over again, he was so stupid, really, when he was not the manager of Real Madrid, he would think it was a beautiful difference, what a fool!

After gritting his teeth and giving up his favourite two-centre-forward configuration and establishing that the two-midfield combination could put pressure on opponents in the battle for midfield, Pellegrini focused on attacking and defending on the wings. All he has at hand is the team's statistics of the players turning back and running and instantaneous acceleration results, frowning and marking a few names, and his eyes light up when he sees a set of results, which is the best level to play as a full-back...

Before Pellegrini could conceive of the perfect vision, he caught a glimpse of the name who he thought could be the perfect full-back, and he almost didn't get angry with himself again.

Who's going to move their definite centre-back to full-back, and let this guy play full-back, will Marcelo and Ramos form a double centre-back?

The more Pellegrini thought about it, the more angry he became, and crossed out Fran's line of data, including his name, with a brush, and continued to spend his brain cells on his hair while squeezing his hair without scruples.

So much so that the next day, when Raul saw the first page paper in Pellegrini's folder, his eyes strangely moved to Fran, who was whispering to Casillas, what kind of trouble did this guy get into again!

When it came time to arrange tactical training against the Spaniards, Manuel Pellegrini stood on the sidelines and waved his hand, "The defence has generally moved forward, and the defenders have moved forward. "He still doesn't seem to have enough offensive power.

Several defenders in front of Cassie moved forward completely in accordance with the manager's arrangement, which resulted in forcing them closer to midfield from the midfield position.

"Fran, go back, don't move!" Pellegrini shouted at Fran, motioning for him to return to his original position. Raul's heart, which is between the forward and the striker, instantly raised, the head coach is going to directly eliminate it, why do you push out our heartless fool to block the gun if it doesn't work in a game?

However, perhaps because he didn't see his roster being treated like that by the manager, this 'fool' instead said, "Ah, this is a return to the central defender." "Look at the emptiness on the left and right, and if it weren't for Casillas behind him, Forlan would have felt like a goalkeeper.

Hawkers, let's drag it out, anyway, it's a brick in the back, where you need to move it. Try it, it's only the second league game anyway, and the opponent is Espanyol anyway.

Raul's mind turned a thousand times, but he didn't expect such an ending, and he was quite embarrassed to greet everyone as the captain.

Manuel Pellegrini is in high spirits, and the Real Madrid side have reversed last season's losing streak of several games, and the players are all in full swing, after all, they are always the best and proudest at the beginning of the season. Perhaps this is the case with the so-called "giants", these people don't need to win big to give them confidence at the moment, but the defeat has hit them much more than grassroots teams, from the club itself, the fans to the news media.

Perhaps everyone, even themselves, thinks that Real Madrid's victory is normal, and Real Madrid cannot afford to lose. Many teams have faced a miserable situation, some players at the beginning with a very positive attitude to face the game, but hit a wall, setbacks, restrictions, blows, and lack of teammates help and coach communication, gradually the mentality will become negative, and this negative mentality will be contagious, more and more people are negative, the whole team will fall into the quagmire.

In the away locker room of El Prat Stadium, after the head coach made another tactical departure, Luo was a little surprised when he came to El Prat Stadium outside the El Prat Stadium in the team bus, "The appearance of Camp Nou Stadium is a little old, I didn't expect the Espanyol stadium to be so luxurious!" Of course, luxury does not mean that it is fully equipped Old Trafford and the Bernabeu, but such a modern stadium is really difficult to imagine that the Spaniards belong to the middle of La Liga.

"It's a new stadium after all. Kaka carefully adjusted his shin guards, but it didn't stop him from communicating with his teammates. Fran looked at Kaka's serious appearance, and he who had always relied on his super physical fitness to protect him so-so, he also squatted down and sorted out the shin guards, "Actually, it's true, although El Prat is a new stadium, but the Spaniards used the Barcelona Olympic Stadium for 82 years, which is also a famous stadium in La Liga." ”

Fran said that the Barcelona Olympic Stadium was the main venue of the Barcelona Olympics in 92, and it had special significance for the whole of Spain, and he wanted to talk nonsense with the two of them about some strange news, so he was pouted by Guti, who was looking at him there, "Don't talk nonsense, it's time to go out to town!"

Ramos laughed out loud when he saw the two of them leaving, and slapped Marcelo beside him with his elbow, "Who can really calm the scene with those two!" Ramos, who has no love from his juniors, teased directly, and Marcelo grimaced but didn't say anything. Raul twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and immediately followed the two of them.

"I'll give Sergio a second to renew. Higuain, who was next to him, spoke, and was instantly echoed by the rest of the people in the locker room.

And Forlan and Guti, who went out first in the name of "town", arrived when the captain of the Espanyol was chatting with the referee, and Guti knew that he was not particularly good at chatting with unfamiliar people, so he signaled Fran to hurry up. Fran wanted to do the same, but the referee seemed to be the kind who likes to find fault and pick the wrong cards, "The referee is too harsh!" As soon as he finished speaking, he received a vicious but non-threatening glare from Guti, gritting his back molars and saying, "What's the use of you!"

Fran ran to the two assistant referees and couldn't find anything, leaving Guti with a meaningful smile, as if to say, "Just be more useful than you."

Raul, who was watching the scene of these two people scolding each other from a high place, suddenly felt so tired, when will these two people grow up!

In the whistle of the so-called "love to find fault and find mistakes" of the head coach, the second game of Real Madrid's La Liga officially began. "When the Spaniards were still about to adjust the tempo to the game, Real Madrid's midfield was instantly powerful—"From the first second, the commentator had a hunch that Real Madrid was going to strengthen their attack," and," "No, Real Madrid played all over the field, and the attack was a bit grandiose, with Ramos and Marcelo going straight down the wings, and the two full-backs showed exaggerated speed as soon as they came up, hopefully they were already moving in the warm-up time." Unexpectedly, the Spaniards, who attacked so fiercely as soon as they came up, were obviously not prepared, and the lineup was directly scattered——"

As the commentator said, the sudden rampage of Real Madrid caught the Spaniards off guard, and the frequent loss of marking tasks that should have been arranged before the game could only be made up for later. But now it is Kaka who has the ball, and where is the Brazilian who starts up who can intercept them when they panic and make mistakes?

"Kaka rushed forward with the ball, and in this short distance, he used his starting speed to ignore his opponent and run past the Spaniard's block!

Kaka, who successfully pushed away the defender with his waist and abdomen during the half-squat and completed a turn with the ball, did not know that the commentator had directly identified his action as Cruyff's turn, and Kaka, who turned to the left side, ushered in the goalkeeper's defense and the two defenders were about to form a bag. Kaka made a feint with his left foot in front of the ball, stepped in front of the ball, and kicked the ball diagonally with the heel of his right foot.

Of course, the inevitable classic will not stop at this sudden heel knock, and it is Xavi Alonso who catches the ball close to Kaka, who receives the ball from the defenders next to him, and he even has time to gauge what kind of pass angle will make Cristiano easier and more comfortable. When watching the football draw a beautiful arc in the sky, the Espanyol goalkeeper wanted to curse his mother.

What kind of passing angle will make Ronaldo comfortable! There is Cristiano Ronaldo, what kind of pass can make his opponent not!

The goal that hit the Espanyol goal at the start of the game looked so smooth.

The camera focused on the Espanyol half, and the defenders who rushed forward were also celebrating with the crowd, celebrating that Real Madrid's midfield seemed to be in hot form today. In addition to lamenting the terrible attack and the terrible superstar, the commentator tried to say that only this luxurious and expensive cooperation reminded him of the Real Madrid team many years ago.

The next second, the camera rose and enveloped the audience, only to notice-

- yes, did the guy who was celebrating with Casillas run back to have fun with the goalkeeper, or did he, Ben, come, just, stay, in, half, field, didn't move!

"I have to say that this scene is more like the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship at its peak. ”
