Someone comes, someone leaves. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

No matter how the world changes, time does not stop because of a person's departure, although the sadness of parting always lingers, but life always has to go on.

After the sadness and sorrow gradually subsided, the pace of the new season is imminent.

For Villarreal, the departure of the old captain is a matter of great sadness and reluctance for the players, but for the entire Iberian Peninsula, it seems insignificant.

The world of football is like this, every season, every year, there are young new stars emerging to make people shine and amaze, and there are also veterans who say goodbye to the mainstream leagues, or choose to retire, or go to the lower leagues to retire.

People have long been accustomed to such partings.

The most important point is Jose. Hosiko is not a world-famous superstar, let alone a superstar, even a star is very reluctant, his entire career, there are only a handful of highlights, his conscientiousness just makes the people of the small town extremely nostalgic and reluctant, as for the fans of other cities, who knows who he is?

In a different atmosphere, August 29 finally arrived as scheduled.

The 29th is the moment when the curtain rises on the new league season, and on this day, there will only be one game, and that is the appearance of last season's league champion Real Madrid, which is the exclusive treatment of the defending champions, which is another profound honor.

Real Madrid's first opponent in the league is promoted Manumancia, who played a warm-up match against Villarreal at the Love Song Stadium a few days ago.

The reigning champions of the league and the promoted side will also be the opening team of the new season, which is also an old tradition in La Liga.

This arrangement is actually very unfair to the promoted horses, a team that has just been promoted from the second division, it is estimated that the situation has not even been figured out, let alone adapted to the rhythm of the top league, and it will encounter the strongest team in the league, the result is obvious, under normal circumstances, the word "tragedy" can be described.

Because of the play with Numancia, Villarreal also has a certain understanding of the new team in this league, the strength is average, the team has invested a lot in the new season's top league journey, but the consequences of recruiting and buying troops in addition to enhancing the team's bench strength, there are also some bad consequences, that is, the team's run-in is very problematic. Although they were very active in the warm-up game a few days ago, and they dared to fight, the overall teamwork was very average, not to mention a piece of loose sand, not far behind.

Such a team is a dead end when it meets an absent-minded Villarreal, let alone a super battleship like Real Madrid.

But as the old saying goes, football is round, and anything is possible.

All the players of Villarreal watched the live broadcast of the game in the club's conference room, and throughout the game, from the first minute, Real Madrid, who were playing at home, occupied the absolute initiative on the field, and Numancia was hit by the repeated bombardment of the Galaxy Battleship and could only shrink into his own half, and he could not even get out of the area of 30 meters.

But it is precisely because of this that there are countless defensive players piled up in the backfield, the space is small, and the Real Madrid stars are a little unable to show their hands and feet, and the offensive is only blossoming and fruitless, and after the half, Real Madrid attacked fiercely, but it was embarrassing to only get a draw.

Numancia is also a chicken thief, their original plan for this game was to defend and counterattack, but when they saw Real Madrid's continuous offensive posture, they simply didn't fight back, and threw their faces aside first, and all the players were locked in the midfield, crazy interception and gun blocking.

The iron bucket formation and the swing bus are an extremely headache for any strong team. And if you don't want anything like Numancia, it's even more disgusting to just keep it for the sake of it.

Fan Bizhuang smiled: "This Numancia head coach is really a talent who pursues pragmatism, probably inspired by the game with us, knowing that no matter what way he thinks, he can't fight with the giants, so he simply dies as a horse doctor, guard!" Anyway, suffocating to death counts as one, whoever is suffocated to death is unlucky! ”

The teammates also nodded in agreement, the iron bucket formation, the bus or something is the most annoying, but there is nothing to be done about it, others want to do this, what can you do, you can only hope that your luck is good enough to score a goal, otherwise it is really possible to be suffocated.

Recall that if Numancia had done the same in the warm-up match a few days ago, it is estimated that the farewell match of the old captain would have been disgusted.

But then again, it is likely that Numancia also took inspiration from that game, or rather learned a lesson, that last season's league runners-up were ravaged by a ruthless situation, and that they would have little confidence in a stronger league title.

So, anyway, it's going to be dead, so it's better to stick to it with all the staff, what if you're lucky and grab a point? Don't underestimate a draw, a point, as a promoted horse, most of the season's goals are fighting for relegation, maybe it is such a point that seems insignificant now, but after the season, it can save the team and keep the team safe in the top league.

Regardless of what the Villarreal players think, the game on TV continues.

In the second half, Numancia thoroughly interpreted the phrase "carry the bus to the end", and throughout the second half, the visitors barely organized a decent attack, not even a shot that hit the woodwork. In addition to stubbornly defending, or stubbornly defending.

This disgusted Real Madrid's stars and the more than 80,000 fans in attendance, and the Bernabeu Stadium was full of boos and debris, but Numancia ignored it and continued to go her own way.

Real Madrid's luck was also mediocre, with a total of 23 shots on goal throughout the game, 15 of which hit the woodwork. Judging from the data, this is almost a shooting exhibition match of Real Madrid stars, but the frustrating thing is that after so many shots, not a single goal was scored.

The closest shot came from outside the box from Real Madrid captain Raul was a sudden-shot shot that made it past the crowd of defenders and the goalkeeper, only to be denied by the post of his own stadium, which was all the more frustrating.

The final result of the opening match of La Liga was a surprising 0:0, the powerful defending league champions were forced to draw by promoted Manumancia, although the process really made those who watched the game sigh, but it is a fact that they did not take all three points, the world of football, sometimes it is consequential, most people will not pay attention to the process, only the result.

On the second day of the game, Real Madrid was bombarded by a lot of media.

"The defending champions have lost their passion and enthusiasm in the good summer holidays, they haven't gotten into the rhythm of the league yet!"

"A disappointing game, the reasonable three points turned into a point, Real Madrid got off to a bad start!"

"The defending champions have to do nothing against the promoted horses, they have to reflect on themselves, not every opponent will play against you and expose your weaknesses! The road to defending the title of the Galaxy Battleship has been overshadowed from the beginning! ”

"They need to adjust their form as soon as possible, the league has started, the big battle has begun, and if they want to break through in the new season, Real Madrid must give more!"

In the face of such public opinion, Juand, who succeeded German Schuster as the new head coach of Real Madrid in the new season. Ramos, in his post-match press conference, spoke publicly to praise the team's performance and at the same time bombarded Numancia: "We have no problem, we are fully prepared for the new season, it's just that the world is like that, and just because you are prepared, you will get a good result. What I would like to say to some teams is that your actions are insulting to football! ”

Ramos is openly expressing his dissatisfaction with the swinging Numancia, and at the same time responding to the doubts of the media and fans about the team, he said that the league is a long process, the result of a game does not mean anything, and they will make all opponents feel the strength of Real Madrid in the coming time.

In response to the Real Madrid coach's remarks, another team in the same Madrid, and Real Madrid's natural rival Atletico Madrid, also voiced their voices. Recino said in a mocking tone: "Real Madrid does not represent this historic city, they are helpless in the face of the iron bucket formation, it does not mean that everyone is helpless." I think if we have a situation like this, we will do the best solution because we are the best prepared for the new season. ”

The relationship between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, as we all know, the two clubs never deal with each other anyway, I am naturally happy if you are not happy, and I am even more likely to fall into the well if you are not in good condition, so everyone is not surprised by Recino's undisguised ridicule.

Unexpectedly, Josep, who succeeded Rijkaard as Barcelona manager this summer, was born. Pep Guardiola also jumped out after the first game of the league to join in the fun.

"A lot of people call Real Madrid and Barcelona the two top clubs in La Liga, but I want to say that Real Madrid is Real Madrid, Barcelona is Barcelona, we are not like them, and it is shocking that the defending champions were held to a greasy draw by promoted Madrid in the opening game of the league. If it were us, of course, just if, I think we'd win a fantastic start to the league! ”

Guardiola's remarks, both openly and secretly, are mentioning a fact, don't compare Real Madrid with us, we can't afford to lose that person, Real Madrid can't win the game, but we will definitely win, even if Real Madrid is the defending champion, so what, they still can't compare to us!

Three of the top four teams in the league last year made their own voices, which is quite a bit of a heat and a sense of existence, and watching the three teams go back and forth with each other, there is also a bit of a trend of war of words.

Of course, there are still a lot of people waiting for Villarreal to speak, anyway, they were also part of the top four in the league last year, and the other three clubs have spoken, so why don't you say something and brush up on your presence?

The league has just begun, and there are only two teams that have played games, so it can be said that the league atmosphere has not yet gone up, but the atmosphere of quarrels has come out.

However, others are arguing with others, which has nothing to do with Villarreal, and Villarreal did not respond violently to this.

Coach Manuel Pellegrini just calmly agreed with Juander in front of the camera. Ramos' words: "The league is a long process, so we just prepare quietly and work hard for it. ”

The meaning is to show that Ramos is right, but we are not Real Madrid either, and we are confident that we will win the first game of the new season.
