On the evening of July 16, Los Angeles Memorial Stadium.

On the first weekend after Real Madrid arrived in the United States, they welcomed their first warm-up opponent, the Los Angeles Galaxy.

This is the team Beckham plays for.

Carlo Ancelotti clearly had something in mind in his line-up for this game, for example, in the first half, he deployed the defensive combination of Casillas, Maxwell, Pepe, Ramos and Arbeloa, which is the strongest defensive main lineup that Real Madrid can put out at the moment.

Xavi Martinez was in the defensive position of the central midfield, but he was partnered with new signing Luka Modric, and the front court was basically changed, David Silva on the left, Herrera in the middle, Vazquez on the right, and Morata in the center of the striker.

Obviously, the backline is the main force and the midfield is about scouting the players.

It is precisely because of this that in the first half hour, although Real Madrid dominated the field, they failed to score, until the 31st minute, after David Silva broke the ball on the left side, he passed Herrera, who passed diagonally to the right rib, and Vazquez followed up and scored with a single push.

In the 40th minute, Maxwell cut in a cross from the left, and Morata volleyed from the left side of the penalty area, 2-0.

In the second half, Carlo Ancelotti replaced nine players, including goalkeeper Casillas.

The goalkeeper is Adan, the backline is Nacho, Vermaelen, Raphael Varane and Carvajal, the midfield is Xavi Alonso playing as a single midfielder, David Silva and Luka Modric are in the middle, and the front is a combination of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben.

This is another target, the attacking combination in the front court is the main force, the midfield and the back are for the purpose of scouting the players, and the team's tactical play has also changed from the double back of 4231 in the first half to a 433 formation.

The double midfielder has been Real Madrid's main configuration in the past two years, but now it seems that Ancelotti is deliberately breaking the tradition of double midfielding and playing three midfield configurations, while the four three three will obviously be more demanding of the team, but it will help the attack.

Luka Modric, David Silva and Xavi Alonso were clearly in control in midfield, and after a first-half run-in, Real Madrid showed a strong ability to pass the ball and lock the game at the start of the second half.

In the 53rd minute, David Silva passed, Yang Yang won the ball on the left rib, broke through three defenders in a row, and volleyed from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area to score another goal for Real Madrid.

This wonderful goal also won Yang Yang full applause.

Everyone can see clearly that Yang Yang's performance and condition in the training camp are quite good.

In the 58th minute, after receiving the ball on the edge of the left side, Yang Yang forced a breakthrough to cross the bottom, and Ibrahimovic scored a header from close range to make another goal for Real Madrid, 4-0.

Beckham was substituted in the 60th minute, and Yang Yang also ran over to high-five and hug him.

This is the superstar of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship that he came into contact with when he was at Ajax.

In the 67th minute, the right-side teenager Carvajal performed bravely, not tall, but the speed was very fast, after receiving Robben's pass, he rushed into the penalty area with the ball and passed straight to Ibrahimovic, the Swedish center volleyed vigorously, was saved by the goalkeeper, Yang Yang followed up with the left rib and hit the shot, five to zero!

Subsequently, players including Jesus, Joselu, and Solino were also replaced one after another.

After Real Madrid led 5-0, it also appropriately stayed, after all, this is a warm-up game, and it is the home of the Los Angeles Galaxy, no matter from which point of view, the opponent should be properly saved face.

Even in the final stage of the game, Real Madrid deliberately released water and let the opponent score a goal, but as a result, two consecutive shots were missed, and there was no way, and in the end it could only be won 5-0.

……

For Real Madrid's first warm-up game, the outside world evaluation is still relatively positive, but the disparity in the strength of the opponents is huge, which cannot explain anything, and the only thing that can be affirmed is that Carlo Ancelotti's team does pay more attention to passing and attacking.

Several new signings have been okay, with Ander Herrera continuing his excellent form at the European Youth Championships with one assist, while Luka Modric has yet to settle into the team and will need some time, but it is several Real Madrid Academy players who have caught the eye.

Alvaro Morata and Vazquez's goals, as well as several flashes of brilliance from Jesé in the second half, were impressive, especially in the second half, when the right-wing youngster Carvajal suddenly cut back, with speed and good technique at his feet, and boldly inserted directly into the opponent's penalty area after receiving Robben's pass, which seemed to be reminiscent of Barcelona's Daniel Alves.

They are all small, their feet are fine, their speed is fast, and they are similar in all aspects.

This also made Carvajal the most watched player in the team after the game, and even many media outlets, including Marca and As, believed that Carvajal could replace McCone in two or three years and become Real Madrid's right-sided Tianzun.

The Brazilian right wing-back will be 30 years old by the end of July, and the media and fans are looking for a successor for him.

After the first warm-up game, Real Madrid made a series of internal summaries, and Ancelotti also analyzed the various problems that arose in the game, and gave some opinions and improvement plans.

However, the team's training is still high-intensity, and it has not slowed down in the slightest because of the warm-up matches.

After all, this is the most important stage of pre-season.

On 20 July, Real Madrid played their second warm-up game in Los Angeles, this time against a tougher opponent in Mexico's Guadalajara.

Ancelotti made some adjustments to the starting lineup, but it was still mainly based on scouting players, and the trident of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben was still put on the bench and prepared to play again in the second half.

But this time, the Real Madrid youngsters who performed well against the LA Galaxy were a little sluggish in the face of the Mexican powerhouse, playing well defensively, but not ideally attacking.

Carvajal, who shone in the previous game, qualified for the start this time, forming a right-wing combination with Vazquez and directly linking up with Alvaro Morata in front of him, a line that created a number of threats in the first half.

First, in the 11th minute, Carvajal picked up a cross to the penalty area on the right side, Morata volleyed from a small angle, and was held up by the opponent's goalkeeper with his fingertips, and then Carvajal's breakthrough cross from the right was blocked, and Herrera's volley from the edge of the penalty area hit the crossbar and failed to form a goal.

Guadalajara also had a chance to threaten in the first half and open the scoring, but the referee flagged for offside and whistled the goal away.

After the restart-up in the second half, the trident of Yang Yang, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Arjen Robben came off the bench, followed by Xavi Alonso and David Silva in the 50th minute.

In the 72nd minute, after Yang Yang received a pass from David Silva between the two defenders of the opposing team, he directly faced the goalkeeper and took the first step to volley the goal, 1-0.

After that, Robben crossed from the right, and Yang Yang volleyed in the back post to break through the goal of Guadalajara again, and scored a brace again.

In the 77th minute, Robben cut inside with the ball on the right side, forced into the penalty area to create a foul, and was awarded a penalty.

In the 81st minute, Robben made a direct pass from the right, Ibrahimovic knocked back in the penalty area, and Yang Yang followed up with a direct low shot, breaking through the goal of the Mexican team again, 4-0!

Hat-trick!

In the second half, Real Madrid could be described as an offensive tide, beating Guadalajara without the power to fight back, and the attacking combination led by Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben suppressed the Mexican team immobilized.

It also made the Real Madrid players, who sat on the sidelines and watched the game for a long time in the first half, clearly feel the difference in quality between them, and they still have a long way to go compared to these world's top superstars.

Speaking to the media after the game, Alvaro Morata, who has had high hopes this season, said that he was amazed and admired by the performance of several seniors led by Yang Yang, and he realized that he had to work harder to try to keep up with them.

Vázquez also mentioned Robben, who is in the same position as himself, and believes that watching Robben play is a pleasure and an improvement, and he will focus on training and playing to improve himself.

The youngster Hesse openly said that he hopes to become a player like Yang Yang.

"He's my idol and a role model for a professional footballer, he's an impeccable king on and off the pitch, and he gives me guidance in training on weekdays, I think training with the first team is a valuable asset for me, and I hope to be able to compete with Yang Yang one day."

Carvajal, who has performed well in two consecutive games, modestly stated that he does not have the strength to establish himself in the first team.

"Yang Yang congratulated me in the dressing room after the game, he felt that I had what it took to stand in the first team, but I needed to work harder to challenge McConn, and I felt a sense of strength from his words. I will work harder, and I hope that in the near future, I will be the one who will provide Yang Yang with an assist! ”

Captain Castilla is noticeably more confident.

Real Madrid's final warm-up match in the United States was played in Philadelphia on July 23 against Philadelphia Union.

Yang Yang had left the team as early as the second warm-up game and returned to China to participate in the World Cup qualifiers, much to the disappointment of the American media and Philadelphia fans.

The result was 3-0 and Carvajal started again and performed well, but it was the change in the game that really pleased Real Madrid.

Xavi Alonso played a single midfielder, launched an offensive with a long pass in the third minute, accurately found Robben, assisted the Dutch to score a single goal, and then a long pass from Vermaelen in the backfield, David Silva, who replaced Yang Yang, won the ball on the left side and crossed, Ibrahimovic received the ball and passed in one go, directly squeezing away the defender and volleying the goal, 2-0.

It wasn't until the 79th minute of the second half that Real Madrid played a beautiful combination again, and substitute Alvaro Morata scored a goal to make it 3-0.

After playing the game in Philadelphia, Real Madrid left the United States and returned to Europe.
