Chapter 609: Barcelona's new coach
In the other Champions League group game played at the same time, Borussia Dortmund beat Ajax 1-0 at home.
As a result, after the first round, Real Madrid ranked first with 3 points and 2 goal difference, Dortmund ranked second with 3 points and 1 goal difference, and Ajax and Manchester City ranked third and fourth respectively.
Returning to the league after playing the group stage of the Champions League, Real Madrid took on Rayo Vallecano away on 24 September.
Although it was an away game and the last game against Manchester City had just been played, there was plenty of rest because there were six days between the two games.
As a result, Real Madrid were on the road in this league and slaughtered Rayo Vallecano 4-0 away, extending their unbeaten run in La Liga to 47 games, two short of Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten run.
Lu Wenbin completed a hat-trick in the 64th minute before being replaced by Jose Mourinho.
If it is not replaced, it is not possible for Lu Wenbin to score, and Rayo Vallecano will lose by a bigger score.
Another 6 days later, on September 30, in the 6th round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Deportivo La Coruna.
After 90 minutes, the score was 6-1 on the big screen, and Real Madrid continued to slaughter their opponents by a big score and extended their unbeaten run in La Liga to 48 games.
Lu Wenbin staged a senior in this game, and also had an assist, and continued to perform amazingly.
However, after this round of the league, the league is suspended, and a Champions League group stage will be played first.
On October 3, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid challenged Ajax away.
Ajax, who lost to Borussia Dortmund in the first round, naturally fought hard in this game and wanted to pick up points at home.
But the difference in strength between the two sides is really a bit big.
Premier League champions Manchester City can still wrestle with Real Madrid, and the Eredivisie champions are more than one step behind.
In just the 7th minute of the opening game, Real Madrid knocked on the door of Ajax with a beautiful team combination, and it was Lu Wenbin who scored.
After tearing apart the Ajax defence through the team's cooperation in front, he completed a wall collision with Benzema at the front of the big penalty zone, and then went into the forbidden zone and fired a low shot into the near corner without stopping.
Goalkeeper Vermeer couldn't save and could only watch the ball go into the net as Real Madrid took a 1-0 lead.
If they want to qualify in the group of death, Ajax will naturally have to fight to the death in every game. Now that the score is behind, it is still home, and it has to press the attack in a big way.
Real Madrid's 4231 defensive counterattack is just right, and there are many opportunities.
In the 24th minute, Lu Wenbin made a wonderful pass to Benzema, and Benzema only needed to pass the central defender Aldveld to form a single knife.
Benzema also came close to a breakthrough, but was tackled by Aldveld on the side.
Although Benzema did not manage to break through, he won a free-kick for Real Madrid.
Lu Wenbin turned on his special skill and kicked a beautiful elevator ball into the goal.
Lu Wenbin scored twice as Real Madrid led Ajax 2-0 away.
In the next game, Real Madrid played more easily.
Just before half-time, Lu Wenbin received a pass from Alonso with his back on the edge of the big ban zone, and then smashed the ball with a genius heel to deliver a good ball through the Ajax defence.
Ronaldo cut inside on the side, received a wonderful pass from Lu Wenbin in the gap on the corner of the small forbidden area, and volleyed directly without stopping the ball, kicking the ball into the near goal.
Real Madrid led 3-0 away and the game was largely won.
After one minute of stoppage time, the first half ended, and the two sides rested for 15 minutes before changing sides.
In the second half, it was still Ajax who attacked and Real Madrid defended, but it was Real Madrid who created more threats and attacked.
Lu Wenbin has made a huge contribution to the overall strength of Real Madrid at both offensive and defensive ends.
In the 59th minute, Di Maria broke through the bottom cross, Lu Wenbin followed up in the middle, rushed into the forbidden area, jumped high, and pressed two Ajax defenders to grab the first point and put the ball into the goal.
Lu Wenbin scored a hat-trick to give Real Madrid a 4-0 lead away.
At this point in the scoreline, no one believes that Ajax can still turn the tables, at most they will score one or two face-saving goals.
Because the next game is the 7th round of the league with Barcelona and the Spanish national derby, Mourinho replaced Lu Wenbin in the 65th minute and Ronaldo in the 78th minute to save for the national derby.
After Lu Wenbin came off the field, Xavi Alonso scored another long-range shot for Real Madrid.
However, Ajax also scored a face-saving goal in the 83rd minute.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Ajax 5-1 away and won the second round of the Champions League group stage.
In the other game played at the same time, Manchester City was held to a 1-1 draw by Borussia Dortmund after playing at home.
Last season, the ability to beat Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga title, Dortmund is really not good.
As a result, after the second round, Real Madrid won all two games and accumulated 6 points to occupy the first place in the Group D standings, Dortmund second with 4 points, Manchester City third with 1 point, and Ajax fourth with 0 points.
The situation is starting to get more and more difficult for Ajax, and the prospects for Premier League champions Manchester City are also looking bad.
The group of death really lives up to its name.
Back in Spain, on 7 October, Real Madrid travelled again to challenge Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
This is the first Spanish national derby of the season.
Last season, Barcelona was beaten six times by Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga, and Spanish Copa del Rey, without a win or even a draw, which can be called the most humiliating season in the history of the Spanish national derby.
Therefore, after the end of the season, although the faceless Guardiola wanted to renew his contract and get back to Mourinho and Real Madrid, the Barcelona management had no intention of keeping him.
As a result, Pep Guardiola ended his coaching career at Barcelona, with the position of Barcelona head coach being assumed by former assistant coach Tito Vilanova.
Since Barcelona B, Vilanova has been Guardiola's assistant coach and has been in charge of the team's daily training for a long time.
Villanova probably knows more about the player than Pep Guardiola.
This is also the reason why the Barcelona hierarchy dared to give up Guardiola and let assistant coach Vilanova be the head coach.
Since the start of the new season, Vilanova has done a great job.
In the first six rounds, Barcelona won all six games and is currently the only team in La Liga to maintain 18 points from six wins.
You must know that Real Madrid, which has Lu Wenbin and Ronaldo, is currently ranked third with only four wins and two draws and 14 points, and there is also a Atletico Madrid with five wins and one draw.
Compared to the results of arch-rivals Real Madrid, Barcelona's start to the season has not been outstanding.
Next, it will be up to Vilanova to lead Barcelona to defeat Real Madrid in the league and avenge last season's humiliating defeat.
