Real Madrid's official debut in the new season is the Spanish Super Cup. As the league champion, against Sevilla, the winner of last season's Copa del Rey.

Seville again.

Ricardo also vividly remembers that his first official match at Real Madrid was against Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup.

It's really a fate with Seville.

The Spanish Super Cup will feature two legs, with the first leg being played at the Estadio Pizjuán in Seville.

On the evening of 11 August, when the Real Madrid soldiers set foot in Pizjuan, they thought they were on the safe side.

Although Pellegrini has not been in charge for a long time and has not yet had time to completely reinvent the team, this Real Madrid team is much stronger than Sevilla.

Sevilla have the Brazilian gang, but they are the fringe players of the national team, Alves, Renato, Fabiano.

Real Madrid also has the Brazilian gang, but it is the core of Brazil, the main force, Ronaldo, Ricardo, Kaka, Baptista.

Not an order of magnitude at all!

The media also predicted that Real Madrid would win by a big margin before the game.

But just two minutes into the game, Sevilla opened the scoring with a free-kick from Duda and a close-range strike from Fabiano. The home team clearly dominated the field, and the after-effects of Real Madrid's change of manager were exposed.

In today's game, Manuel Pellegrini used a 4231 formation, with Ricardo as a left winger, Guti as a midfielder, Kaka as a right winger, Ronaldo up front, Diarra and Gago as midfielders. New signing Pepe was also featured, partnering Cannavaro at centre-back, with Sergio Ramos returning to right-back.

Although only one new signing, Pepe, has made the appearance, the team's tactical play is very different from last season, and the requirements for players in various positions are also different, and the players do not seem to be able to adapt yet.

And Ricardo and Kaka have not yet recovered from the fatigue of the Copa America, and Ronaldo has not yet recovered to his best condition after gaining a few kilograms during the holiday...... As a result, the team runs very unsmoothly.

Sevilla, on the other hand, remained largely intact and the manager did not change, so they completely suppressed the visitors on the field. They used a 3511 defensive formation and completely controlled the midfield for the first 20 minutes of the game, making it impossible for Real Madrid to attack the front.

In the 26th minute of the game, Sevilla player Duda broke through to Real Madrid's penalty area with the ball and was tripped by Ramos, who was chasing back. The referee immediately awarded a penalty!

Fabiano took the penalty and deceived Casillas to smash the ball into the bottom left corner of the net.

Sevilla FC leads 1-0.

Real Madrid, who were behind, woke up from a dream and began to tighten their grip on the midfield, getting some good attacking opportunities.

But Ricardo's free-kick hit the wall, and then he slid out of the net with his own follow-up shot; In the 36th minute, Ricardo sent Ronaldo a brilliant through ball that Ronaldo shook off Sevilla goalkeeper Palop, but his shot was denied by the post.

In first-half stoppage time, Real Madrid had a chance to equalise, Licardo cut inside into the box, attracted three defenders and pushed the ball to Kaka at the back post, but Kaka's powerful shot was pushed out by Palop with his fingertips.

Real Madrid had to go into the break in embarrassment.

'Ronnie, you've had too little movement and if you want to stay on the pitch, I want you to run a little bit more aggressively in the second half.' Pellegrini's voice, though gentle, was unmistakably critical.

The friends were stunned. Criticizing the current football king, the team's number one star in front of so many people? Are you crippled in your brain?

The smile on Ronaldo's face disappeared, and he opened his mouth, and was about to push back, when Ricardo grabbed him.

Ronaldo looked back, and Ricardo said silently with his mouth: "Forget it, Ronnie." ”

Pellegrini didn't seem to notice that Ronaldo almost broke out, and turned his gun on Ricardo: "I remember I asked you to be more aggressive in defending back, but you didn't meet my requirements. Is there anything incomprehensible about my words? If you can't do it, I can replace it with someone else who can. ”

Ricardo bowed his head. For the sake of grades, I endure.

Manuel Pellegrini didn't criticize the team too much, only blaming the two most prestigious players in the team.

The Spanish Super Cup is an honour to say, but seriously, it's just two high-level warm-up games.

If you can find a problem and find a way to solve it, these two rounds will be worth it.

However, if we can win and bring back the trophy, of course it will be better.

At the start of the second half, Manuel Pellegrini replaced Gago for Baptista. Now that there are four Brazilian players on the pitch, he hopes that the chemistry between the Brazilian gang will surprise him. He also watched the Copa America game, and he was still very impressed by the cooperation between Baptista, Kaka and Ricardo.

Baptista's appearance has really changed the situation in Real Madrid's midfield. Sevilla gradually lost control and the two sides became evenly matched in midfield, while Real Madrid's attacking superiority began to emerge.

In the 51st minute, Baptista found Kaka with a long pass, and after Kaka went down at high speed with the ball, he knocked the ball back to Ramos, who immediately took the ball and passed it to the penalty area. Ronaldo grabbed the ball on his chest and turned to play, and the ball hit the side-netting.

Two minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback, this time from the left, and Ricardo dribbled inside to connect two people and stuffed the ball into the left side of the six-yard box.

Ronaldo cut in at high speed to get on the ball between the defenders, and he quickly adjusted his posture and fired a left-footed shot that went over Palop's fingertips and into the far corner.

At 1:1, Real Madrid equalized.

Sevilla FC quickly made a change, replacing Renato with Demur and playing in a 352 formation to strengthen the attack.

Manuel Pellegrini also made another adjustment, replacing the lackluster Kaka with Arjen Robben.

Neither of these substitutions made much of a difference, and the two sides were locked in a tug-of-war.

In the 71st minute, Real Madrid won a free kick from 23 meters from goal.

This time Ricardo took his chance, and his shot went around the wall and also around Palop's arm and fell into the back of the net. Real Madrid put the score in the lead.

Pellegrini then replaced the physically exhausted Ricardo with Saviola, using up three substitutions.

Sevilla, who played at home, immediately made successive substitutions, Maresca replaced Navas, Diego replaced Duda, and launched a more fierce attack, but Real Madrid's defense performed well today, especially Pepe, who was very fierce and disrupted Sevilla's offensive again and again.

In the end, Real Madrid won 2-1 away and took the lead.
