On the evening of August 31, the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.

UEFA Super Cup, Real Madrid meets Atletico Madrid.

Having not lost to Atletico Madrid in many years, Real Madrid were more relaxed in this game.

Carlo Ancelotti still lined up in a four-three-three formation, with goalkeeper Valdés, Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos and Carvajal at the back, David Silva, Mascherano and Luka Modric in midfield, and Hazard, Yang Yang and Robben in front.

There are two obvious changes in this game for Real Madrid, one is that the teenager Carvajal gets the first start, and it is also in a game like the UEFA Super Cup, which is obviously a consideration for Ancelotti, because in the past two weeks, Real Madrid has been playing two games a week, and the game is very stressful.

The other is Luka Modric starting in place of Xavi Alonso, which is also a positive sign that the team is strengthening the possession in midfield.

Real Madrid plays Barcelona, Real Madrid controls the ball is undoubted, the key is how to convert possession into goals, Modric's start means that Real Madrid will play more aggressively.

Of course, in a way, this also means that there could be instability at the back, especially with teenager Carvajal starting instead of Cesar Azpilicueta.

In the case of Marcelo on the left side, Real Madrid's wing attack needs to be on the right, and Carvajal is more capable of attacking, which is the main reason for Ancelotti to use him.

……

Once the game started, Real Madrid managed to control the situation on the pitch as everyone expected.

Simeone's Atletico Madrid are not good at possession at all and will not possess the ball, on the contrary, the team has played more and more brutally and committed more and more fouls, which has made Real Madrid suffer a lot in the game.

If last season's Simeone was a firefighter, then this season is his first full season in charge of Atletico Madrid, and after a summer training camp, the team has clearly implemented his technical and tactical intentions and ideas.

Atletico Madrid's tactics are very simple and practical, that is, to play a quick counterattack, without the slightest drag, to counterattack when the opportunity arises, and never hesitate to get up if you can, but Real Madrid, under Atletico Madrid's frequent fouls, although the ball possession rate is very high, but it is difficult to pass the ball smoothly through the midfield.

In the past, Marcelo on the wing would play such a role, but tonight Arbeloa was mainly defensive, so Ancelotti frequently signaled Carvajal on the sidelines to actively step forward, participate in the attack in front of him, and play wide.

But the Madrid youngster looked a little constrained and not quite adapted to the pace of the game.

This led to the delay in Real Madrid's frontcourt attack to open up the situation, and Yang Yang had to frequently expand his range of activities, but Atletico Madrid's defense did a very good job of cutting Real Madrid players from each other, and it was difficult to connect them.

In the 31st minute, Real Madrid's midfielder passed, Diego Costa retreated to defense, pushed down Modric, grabbed the ball at the feet of the Croatian midfielder, turned around to plan a counterattack, and quickly passed straight behind him, Falcao went straight behind Real Madrid as fast as possible, and scored in the penalty area to open the scoring for Atletico Madrid.

It's a very bad start!

…………

…………

"Hey, Daniel, go ahead, go ahead, be brave!"

Carlo Ancelotti shouted excitedly from the sidelines.

Atletico Madrid's defense is indeed very good, pressing and pressing is very good, but the main thing is that after Marcelo's rotation, Real Madrid's attack is difficult to play wide and is too concentrated in the middle, which makes it easier for Atletico to defend.

Twenty-year-old Carvajal heard Carlo Ancelotti's shout, turned his head, raised his right hand to the manager on the sidelines, signalled that he had heard, and then turned to look into the centre circle.

Yang Yang is preparing to restart with Robben in the middle circle.

On the scoreboard, the original score of 0-0 has become 0-1, and Atletico Madrid is ahead.

Real Madrid haven't lost to Atletico Madrid for many, many years, so is it going to lose tonight?

Carvajal was born in Leganes, a satellite city in the south of the Madrid region, similar to Getafe, having joined Real Madrid's youth squad at the age of 10 and worked his way up the ranks to move into Castilla in 2010.

It can be said that he is the standard Real Madrid academy descendant.

As a member of the team's academy team, his affection and loyalty to Real Madrid are unquestionable, and he has always wanted to wear this Real Madrid shirt and play for Real Madrid, but in the past, he has rarely been able to get such opportunities.

Brazil's right-back McCone is like an impenetrable mountain that stands in the way of all the right wing-backs in the Academy.

In the summer, Carvajal's agent persuaded him to leave the team, because there are many teams interested in him, some from La Liga and some from the Bundesliga, among which Bayer Leverkusen is the most sincere, and even promised to give him a place in the main team.

But Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane persuaded him to stay because the team sold McConn.

Arbeloa is known for his defence and new signings Cesar Azpilicueta are equally unadept at attacking, with Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane both making it clear to Carvajal that he will get his chances in the new season, provided he can capitalise on them.

He still clearly remembers that on the first day of the pre-season training camp, Yang Yang said a word to him in front of Raul.

'You're all the best in the academy and you've always said that Real Madrid's first team didn't give you a chance, and now the team has sent away four stars in one go, and this is your best chance, if you can't take it, it's no longer Real Madrid's problem, it's about finding the reason for yourself.'

Carvajal worked particularly hard in the pre-season training camp, but Arbeloa also performed quite well in the European Championships, and Azpilicueta is a new signing and needs to be investigated, so he has not been given a chance in the first few games of the season.

But tonight, against Atletico, the team gave him the chance to start.

It's something he's been dreaming of for ten years, but why doesn't he seem to know how to kick?

"Hey, don't be nervous, big guys, how we usually kick, how we still play, believe in us, believe in yourself!"

Yang Yang's shouts came from the front, and Ramos and Casillas were also cheering for the team.

Only one goal behind, Real Madrid still has a chance.

After hearing Yang Yang's shout, Carvajal took a deep breath one after another, trying to calm his mood.

Yes, you can play how you normally play.

What Marcelo does on the left, I do on the right.

……

In the 36th minute, just five minutes after Atletico's goal.

Real Madrid controlled the ball on the periphery of Atletico's 30-metre zone, and as soon as Modric got the ball, he saw a white figure on the right quickly cut in and shouted for him.

Modric passed without thinking, and he was worried that he couldn't find the way to get the ball.

Carvajal received the ball and continued to rush forward, directly into the 30-metre zone of Atletico.

Robben was very agile in his position, quickly pulling to the wing, clinging to the right touchline to get on, allowing Carvajal to avoid Adrian's entanglement and quickly knock back behind Adrian, forming a two-by-one collision on the wing.

Carvajal sliced inside, caught the ball before everyone else and took it in stride.

At the front of the penalty area, Yang Yang suddenly retreated, and quickly came to the right side, after receiving Carvajal's cross, he did not turn around, and directly knocked his heel behind him, and the ball rolled directly to the penalty area.

Carvajal didn't have time to be surprised, instinctively reacted extremely quickly into the box, grabbed the ball, slid past the onrushing Courtois, and fired a low right-footed shot into the empty net.

One-to-one!

Real Madrid equalised!

Carvajal was stunned.

Until Yang Yang rushed over, grabbed his neck hard, and shouted at him loudly: "You kid is finally enlightened, you should kick like this, you should kick like this, you know?" ”

Carvajal may not even have understood what Yang Yang was shouting, he only heard the sound of the scene, as if many fans were shouting his name, but how did they know him?

Soon, his teammates around him came running over to celebrate Carvajal's goal.

"Calm down, boy, the game has just begun." Yang Yang patted Carvajal's face lightly.

The Real Madrid right wing-back grinned and nodded.

……

Sometimes, football matches are like that.

I feel like I kicked it, and I feel smooth no matter how I kick it.

When the wings are active, Real Madrid's entire attack is alive with it.

In the 45th minute, Atletico Madrid got a free kick in front of the goal, it was Arbeloa who fouled, but the Sheets did not send it directly into the box, but played a tactical match.

Carvajal was bold this time, rushing out of the box before everyone else, blocking the ball with his body when Gabi passed, bouncing off the front and accelerating to catch up, catching the ball before Mario Suarez and using his speed to continue to drive forward.

The sudden change caught Atletico Madrid off guard, Carvajal and Yang Yang quickly formed a two-on-two in the front, Real Madrid's right full-back crossed near the penalty spot in the penalty area, Yang Yang calmly pushed and hit, scoring a reversal goal for Real Madrid.

In the second half, Real Madrid continued to control the situation on the field and frequently planned attacks.

In the 57th minute, David Silva sent a direct pass, to the front, Hazard got the ball and accelerated to cut in, and crossed to the top of the arc to Yang Yang, Yang Yang stopped the ball and walked past Godin, hit a curved ball with his left foot, and hit the lower left corner of the Atletico goal, three to one!

In the 68th minute, after Modric won the ball at the edge of the penalty area, he suddenly split the ball to the right side, Carvajal stepped in and crossed to the goal on the right side of the penalty area, Robben shot low in front of the goal, which was blocked by goalkeeper Courtois.

Yang Yang quickly judged the landing point of the ball, and took the first step to head the goal, and hit the ball into the almost empty Atletico Madrid goal, expanding the score to four to one!

It's overwhelming!

After Carvajal was revitalized on the right side, Real Madrid's offensive began to become more violent, and Atletico Madrid had to retreat again and again, without the sharpness of the first half.

In the end, Real Madrid also won Atletico Madrid 4-1 with Yang Yang's hat trick and Carvajal's goal.

This is Real Madrid's fifth trophy in 2012!
