Chapter 401: Real Madrid's Dream Start
After six league games, Real Madrid have won all six games and won their best start in the last decade. And Barcelona won 5 and drew 1, which is also aggressive.
Who will win this season's La Liga? Maybe the 7th round of the game will give people a first glimpse.
Because next is the direct dialogue between Real Madrid and Barcelona, the first leg of the national derby of the season.
Real Madrid will be at home to Barcelona to take on the challenge.
The good news for Real Madrid is that Samuel Eto'o suffered a serious injury in the last league game and will have at least half a season off.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, is strong and has a complete squad.
Ricardo has also seen the development of the Spanish media, and the pre-match war of words is a little more lively than the Italian national derby.
The celebrities of both sides have come forward, and the players have also thrown out all kinds of hot remarks. Barcelona coach "Black Swan" Rijkaard also shouted in the air: "Some people say that this Real Madrid team is the strongest in recent years, because they have won six consecutive league games. But in my opinion, they have a lot of shortcomings, it's just that they are lucky, and the opponents are not used to their tactics. After this game, I will show you a Real Madrid team in its original form. β
Capello responded with a personable but also forceful response: "It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that this Real Madrid team is the best in recent years. As Rijkaard said, it took some luck and the opponent's ignorance of our new tactics to get six wins in a row. But I think this Real Madrid team is still a little bit better than his [Rijkaard's] team. I'll show you that in the weekend's races. β
The last time the two teams met at the Bernabeu, Barcelona won 3-0 against Real Madrid thanks to Ronaldinho's two brilliant one-man walks.
Compared to that time, although there were some new signings, Barcelona lost Samuel Eto'o and Ronaldinho's form also declined.
On the side of Real Madrid, the loss of Zidane and Ronaldo, although there is a small supplement, the overall strength should have declined.
So the media generally believes that Barcelona have a higher win rate.
Barcelona's mouthpiece, the Daily Sport, said triumphantly: "I believe that Barcelona can win another 3:0." β
What are the facts?
At 21:00 on the evening of October 22, almost all the fans had already entered the stadium.
More than 80,000 fans attended today, once again setting a new attendance record for the Bernabeu in the past three seasons, and there were still a large number of unticketed fans outside the stadium, waiting for a miracle in the autumn wind.
The song "Go Real Madrid" echoed in the stadium early, and in the midst of the exciting singing, the players of both sides began to play.
"It's not worse than San Siro." Kaka looked up and squinted at the stands and whispered.
"Real Madrid are not inferior to Milan's giants," Ricardo said with a smile, "and today our opponents are a bit strong, so we can't be careless." β
Kaka laughed, "That's what you said. What strong enemy have we not seen in these years? How strong can Barcelona be? Come to think of it, I've faced you and Ronnie together! β
Li Cardo laughed and said, "That's right." No matter how strong this Barcelona team is, it is not as strong as Real Madrid, which won the Champions League last season and has Zidane and Rooney. β
Kaka said firmly, "You're almost catching up with Ronnie." And I, although I admire Zidane very much, I must surpass him! β
"Well said," Ronaldinho, who was walking next to them, suddenly spoke, "then let me see what you are capable of!" β
Ronaldinho, who has always been smiling, has a bit of a solemn look on his face at this time.
"In the game, I won't show mercy." Ronaldinho said with a blank face.
"Coincidentally, so did I." Ricardo also smiled.
Before coming to Real Madrid, Ricardo never doubted that he would be able to adapt quickly to the style of La Liga. Because he played in the yellow submarine in his previous life, his performance at that time was not bad.
After joining Real Madrid, he scored three hat-tricks in 10 games, and his self-confidence has reached its peak.
There is no goal in the world that cannot be beaten!
He already has the confidence of a top player.
Of course, he has not yet been recognized as a top player in the world because he has not yet been recognized for the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year.
But...... These two awards are sure to come! When Ronaldo gets old, Ricardo is confident that he will be with Cristiano. Ronaldo and Messi wrestle their wrists.
Once the match started, Ricardo quickly got into the groove.
Less than two minutes into the game, Ramos and Kaka combined on the right flank, Kaka went down to the baseline and quickly crossed, and the ball touched Silvinho's leg and changed direction.
Van Nistelrooy at the front of the post made a false shot, and Licardo in the middle quickly adjusted his pace and retreated, and then jumped high, Puyol's turn was half a beat slower, and he couldn't keep up with Ricardo's pace, Licardo calmly shook his head, and the ball drew a parabola past ValdΓ©s's arm and fell into the goal.
"Ricardo Goal !!!!" The commentator, who had not finished reading the list of appearances, shouted, "In less than two minutes of the opening period, Licardo took the lead for Real Madrid!" Real Madrid get off to a fantastic start! β
Ricardo ran to hug Kaka, then pushed Kaka away and ran to the sidelines to play Tai Chi.
The commentator excitedly continued: "Ricardo continued his good form since joining the team, this is his seventh goal in seven league games and his 15th goal in 11 games since joining the team! β
"At this time, I think most Real Madrid fans don't miss Ronaldo anymore! Because, this young man, he is definitely a natural striker who is not inferior to Ronaldo! β
Van Nistelrooy also played a role in this goal, as he made a false shot to interfere with Puyol's judgment. Although Van Nistelrooy, who joined this season, has scored far less goals than Ricardo, his containment and interference in the front field are very obvious, and this experienced veteran has also made outstanding contributions to Real Madrid! Capello often puts him in the front of the line-up, while Ricardo inserts the back row to score. β
"Real Madrid today is still a 4231 formation, with Ruud van Nistelrooy as a single striker, Raul, Ricardo and Kaka behind him, and Mohammed at the back. Diarra and Guti. The defender is Robert. Carlos, Cannavaro, Elguera and Ramos. Goalkeeper Casillas. β
"Barcelona used a 433 formation, with center forward Gudjohnsen, Ronaldinho on the left, Messi on the right, three midfielders Iniesta, Deco and Xavi, defenders Silvinho, Puyol, Thuram and Zambrotta, and goalkeeper ValdΓ©s."
"Although Real Madrid took the lead from the beginning, Barcelona will not be easy to rest, and Ronaldinho and Xavi will not easily admit defeat. It's going to be a great battle! β
