After a number of player adjustments, Real Madrid's squad had stabilized before the arrival of mid-July, and Li Mudi and Valero have also revealed to the outside world that if there are no big surprises, there will be no other transactions that may have a major impact on the team in this transfer window.

In addition to the transfer of the former No. 3 goalkeeper Lucas Canizares, who was not in the team's plans, to Las Palmas in the second division, Li Mudi only transferred young goalkeeper Hugo Portillo from the reserve team as a supplement as usual, and did not pay attention to all kinds of rumors from the outside world until the moment the summer window closed in mid-August, and concentrated on polishing his team that has changed a lot in several positions.

As a result, in a number of pre-season warm-up games, the results of the Galaxy did not particularly please the fans, especially as they suffered a 1-2 defeat to the feet of new European League champions Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup, which caused quite a stir at the time.

After that, it also encountered a lot of trouble in the annual Bernabeu Cup, and twice fell behind the Torino team, which also had a lot of changes in the lineup this summer, but fortunately, it was finally thanks to the brave play of Mbappe and Fambas to complete the reversal, and there was no accident in this trophy that cannot be lost from the name.

With the continuous run-in of the players, Real Madrid's strength has gradually rebounded to the feeling of being on top of Europe in the past two years, and defeated the number one rival and rival Barcelona by two goals in the Spanish Super Cup before the league officially kicked off.

Especially in the first league game of the new season and the Champions League group stage, after Li Mudi led the team to bloody Espanyol and Marseille with such disparities as 7-0 and 6-1 respectively, everyone saw the momentum of the world's No. 1 giant's desire to continue to defend the supremacy of the past two years.

La Liga has started with six consecutive wins, 11 rounds of unbeaten, and the first four games in the Champions League have won all of them and scored 18 goals, which also proves that after selling Skriniar, Kutchi, Valverde and other strong players, Real Madrid can still maintain the overall strength at the top level in the world, and even take a small step forward, which is really a bit scary.

As a result, Li's coaching ability has once again become a hot topic in the media and online, and with Pep Guardiola's departure from Manchester City temporarily on a state of idleness, and Xavi and Jurgen Klopp's teams are a bit up and down at the start of the season, Zinedine Zidane and Pochettino, who seem to be closest to the Celestial Dynasty, also seem to have an untouchable gap in terms of level.

All of a sudden, there was a sense of a tiger in European football, with many believing that the Galaxy had a good chance of replicating the treble of two years ago. In fact, if it weren't for the accidental loss of the UEFA Super Cup, winning the six crowns again would be the most likely miracle for this team in everyone's mind.

But perhaps it's a good thing, as Mbappe, Marcos Llorente and Vallejo all suffered injuries that required at least a month and a half of recuperation during the November break, which meant that they would have to return after the winter break as soon as possible, putting huge pressure on the team's rotation.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, several young players stepped forward and showed performances that exceeded external expectations, helping the team survive this most difficult period, opening a broader door for their careers, and at the same time, providing many examples for the super vision of the team's coach Li Mudi.

On 28 November, in the league away to Villarreal, Real Madrid were caught in a bucket and could not find a chance to score. At the crucial moment, Riverola, who was called on as a substitute in the crisis, used his speed and skill to break through the middle to connect three people, and sent a lethal through ball for his teammate while being knocked to the ground by the home team's defenders, helping Pellegri score the only goal of the game and helping the team to win all three important points.

On December 7, in the final round of the Champions League group stage, facing the Eredivisie powerhouse PSV Eindhoven, which was making a final fight for the right to qualify, the Galaxy Battleship, which did not care about the outcome of the game, became a little angry because of the opponent's too rough style of play, and successively carried out retaliatory behavior, which almost caused a group fight between the two sides.

At this time, Sergio Arribas, who had just returned to the Bernabeu, stepped up and used his Xavi-like passing skills to direct his teammates' running and tactical play, thus indirectly controlling the emotions of others and not letting the team suffer the danger of being suspended in the next knockout round.

On December 11, in the first leg of this season's national derby, Real Madrid, who enjoy a five-point lead in the standings, welcomed Barcelona at home, who have shown a strong upturn in recent form. With Mbappe's injury and suspension, the home team lacked the sharpest knife in attack, allowing Xavi to confidently and boldly use the best passing and pressing strategy to take the situation firmly into his own hands.

In less than 11 minutes, the visitors took advantage of Jose Martinez's mistake when he cleared the ball, and used a very tacit through through diagonal tactic to penetrate the entire Real Madrid defence, and the French centre-forward Guiri scored the first goal of the game.

Thirteen minutes later, Kai Havertz scored a flawless direct free-kick that sent the entire Santiago Bernabeu stadium into a dead silence.

At this time, the two-goal deficit Galaxy Battleship seems to have fallen into a desperate situation, facing the Barcelona players whose morale has skyrocketed to the peak and their state has also improved to a supercritical level, even the broadcasters' commentators and guests from a neutral perspective have provided the home team with too good a way to deal with it for a while.

As a result, under the continuous attack of the opponent's huge waves, Real Madrid, which could be defeated by a wave at any time, gritted its teeth and held on, and pulled the score back before half-time.

Ferran Torres took a corner to the back post, Pellegri headed it into the middle of the box, and the youngster raised his right foot to shoot after leaning on the visiting defender, and after the ball was barely blocked by Belgium international Meier Svilar, he returned to Zorry, who stabbed the ball into the visitors' goal before anyone else could kick it, and the youngster stabbed the ball into the visitors' goal before anyone else could kick it, and pulled the whole team back from the dead place on the edge of the cliff.

This goal was like a shot in the arm, so that the home team, who had no hope of winning points, almost instantly got rid of the imminent collapse and began to regain the vitality that was gradually draining.

Lee's half-time adjustment also played a decisive role, he boldly switched to Riverola before the rematch, changing the starting 4-3-3 formation to 4-3-1-2, allowing Pellegri and Rodrygo to form a two-striker configuration, abandoning the original strategy of attacking the two wings and concentrating the breakthrough on the front of the opponent's penalty area.

Manuel Pellegri's skill at the feet, Rodrygo's pace and Riverola's ability to do both at the offensive end meant that once Real Madrid could push the line deep enough into Barca's half, combined with the support of other players in turn, they could always put a lot of pressure on the visitors' central defence.

As a result, in the 74th minute of the game, Riverola, who came on as a substitute and relied on his super combination ability to stir up the opponent's defense, after completing two consecutive wall collisions with his teammates, wiped Alenia, who came up to defend, directly into the penalty area, and suddenly kicked a kick to the ground before the French central defender Todibo, who had just replaced the injured Lenglet, came up to intercept. The ball flew into the bottom left corner of the visitors' goal at great speed, and Barcelona goalkeeper Meier Svillar did not react at all due to blocked vision and unpreparedness, and could only reluctantly accept the result of his own city being knocked open twice.

In the end, in the first battle of the century of the season, the top two teams of the Spanish Super League ended in a 2-2 draw. After the game, the major media reports focused on two places, one was to explore whether there were major problems with the tactics used by the Real Madrid coach in the opening stages, and the other was to praise the rising star Riverola.

Everyone has their own position and judgment on the former, so it is impossible to come to a conclusion that can be recognized by arguing and arguing; As for the latter, it is naturally a unanimous hot trend.

It was the homegrown talent's maiden goal in La Liga, and three weeks ago in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, Riverola had already scored his first goal in a competitive game for Real Madrid in the first team. Since Kylian Mbappe's injury, Lee has added the star to his regular rotation, giving Riverola no less than 20 minutes of performance in every game, even though he has almost never started him.

The youngster did not disappoint the manager and the many fans who had high expectations for him, and since mid-November, he has scored two goals and provided two assists in nine consecutive appearances and a total of just 253 minutes.

Coupled with Zori, who has already made the most minutes in the big four centre-backs (except for Tom Almeida, who is still honing his skills), and Jorge Solsano and Elias Zinedine Zidane, who have already been in the starting line-up several times in the new season, Real Madrid's younger generation of players seem to have the intention of grabbing power, so that the sensitive media immediately launched a wave of feature reports, becoming one of the hottest focuses of European football in the pre-Christmas period.

Among them, an article by Marcos Sarabia, a well-known reporter of the newspaper Marca, has received a high click-through rate and reply because of its detailed statistics. The article praised Li Mudi's emphasis on youth training and the way he cultivated it, and used Torino and Arsenal, two teams he once coached, as examples to illustrate the positive impact of that year's investment on the two clubs in the next decade or so.

Of course, if these well-known things alone can't attract too many readers, Sarabia's report has received a lot of attention because he has focused his analysis on Coventry and Ebro, two "new teams" that clearly bear the Lee Moody label.

Last season, with 16 wins, 11 draws and 11 defeats, the Blues set a new record for the most points in their history in the top flight (due to the previous two-point system), and qualified for the new European season as the eighth place in the Premier League, which was highly praised by the outside world.

What's even more commendable is that, unlike the team building policy of several England giants who use gold dollars to bring in superstars, Coventry has been able to play such a good record, and at least half of the credit goes to their academy players. A group of post-00s and even post-05s from the team's academy, including Joey Parrott and Carlos Ellara, have shown their determination and potential to impact top stars in the past two seasons.

And their club background has also reduced the chances of these new stars being poached by other giants to a certain extent, at least Tottenham's "lure" strategy against Parrott, who has the title of Harry Kane's successor, for two consecutive years, has ended in failure.

Even more frighteningly, even if the striker, who had already scored 14 league goals in the first half of the season and became the leading scorer on home, did move to another team, Coventry's youth team also has the potential of David Körle waiting to take over.

As for Ebro, who has been promoted for two consecutive years, it is due to the influence of financial resources and the environment, and he pays more attention to the cultivation of his own youth training. According to local media reports, the daily treatment of their youth team is basically the same as that of the first team, which also made it difficult for Ebro to recruit talent to quickly recruit a group of demons from all over the world, and many of them under the age of 21 have begun to appear in the rotation and even the starting lineup.

However, the most surprising thing is that when the team was promoted to the second league and obtained two non-European foreign aid quotas, the places that were important for the team's performance were allocated to two young players from the Celestial Empire, which also caused dissatisfaction among many team supporters at that time. The media also complained that the club was really messing around with the Chinese boss behind it, and in order to cultivate their compatriots, they had to sacrifice the team's results, and even called on the Spanish Football Association to come forward to organize this kind of anti-football incident, and called on local entrepreneurs to stand up and take back the club's equity to avoid this football pure land being corroded by "soft girls".

However, as these two young players gradually adapted to the rhythm of the Spanish Second League and played more and more steadily, the attitude of the Western media and fans took a 180-degree turn, and they began to sing praises for the team's coach Alonso, thinking that he was really discerning, but never mentioned that the previous boycott and the club's top management were the main reasons for digging these two gems.

In this regard, Li Mudi and Su Ning Group obviously will not stand up and say something, but they have reached a consensus on this training model, that is, it is worth expanding.

So in the next year or two, Celestial Empire Capital once again set off a wave of buying new bases in European football, but their targets are concentrated in some small and medium-sized leagues or the secondary or even third// tier teams of the five major leagues, following the Japanese model, providing a sufficient foothold for more Celestial Empire players to land in the European football circle.
