Chapter 1098: 2013-2014 Season

The news of Welsh star Gareth Bale joining Real Madrid quickly made headlines in mainstream European media coverage, and even Ielloh, who had dominated the headlines for many days, had to step down.

However, many media are not too surprised that Gareth Bale joined Real Madrid, after all, the current Real Madrid is only Cristiano Ronaldo on the offensive line, and Higuain, who is quite efficient, has not been recognized by the club's top management because he is a star bought by former Real Madrid President Calderón, Benzema has not been integrated into Real Madrid's offensive system, and Colombian star Falcao has chosen to join Monaco, which is ambitious in the new season, because he has not been recognized by the new head coach Benitez.

That is to say, Real Madrid will inevitably introduce a high-level striker before the start of the new season, and Gareth Bale has improved significantly in the past two seasons in the Premier League, and scored 30+ goals on behalf of Tottenham last season.

However, the transfer fee of 85 million pounds is somewhat unexpected, as it is the second largest transfer fee in world football after the 90 million pounds that Eello transferred from Chelsea to Valencia in 2010, and even higher than Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Therefore, when the media revealed the specific transfer amount, the Madrid media talked about their concerns, believing that the addition of Gareth Bale will definitely strengthen Real Madrid's attacking ability, but at the same time, it will also increase the difficulty of managing the dressing room.

Their Madrid media fears were dashed on the day Gareth Bale arrived at the Real Madrid training base, as Cristiano Ronaldo volunteered to pick him up at the door of the training base in front of the media.

The two even shook hands and hugged each other after talking for a while, looking like good brothers for many years.

In fact, Gareth Bale is a little confused about Cristiano Ronaldo's enthusiasm, you must know that he was worried about this when he learned that he was transferring to Real Madrid at a sky-high price, and the excessive media coverage made him know that he was likely to steal the limelight from Real Madrid's leading star, resulting in isolation from his teammates on the field.

But now all the worries are gone, and they are replaced by full fighting spirit!

Because the first thing Cristiano Ronaldo said on his own initiative was - are you here to work with me to replace Valencia as the new hegemon?

Remember that two seasons ago, Gareth Bale's Tottenham reached the quarter-finals, and they met Valencia led by Ello in the quarter-finals, and the result was normal, they lost to Valencia, who eventually won the championship......

However, after two seasons, Gareth Bale's Tottenham Hotspur has been unable to reach the Champions League again due to the lack of teammates, which has caused him to have the idea of transferring to a better club.

Now that everything has come true, joining the coveted Galaxy Battleship, the transfer value of 85 million pounds will not only bring him huge pressure, but also bring great motivation, with the olive branch extended by Real Madrid's star Cristiano Ronaldo, he will smoothly integrate into Real Madrid as a whole.

At the same time, it will also bring together more teammates with outstanding strength to defeat Valencia, who have won the Champions League three times in a row!

With Barcelona's purchase of Brazilian genius Neymar and Real Madrid's purchase of Gareth Bale, the two traditional super giants of La Liga can be said to be 'reinvigorated', but Valencia of the Spanish Super League Group in the past has been disappointing, and there has not been much change in the lineup, and even the actions throughout the summer are negligible, just two ninety-five-year-old players have been promoted from the B team.

It is worth mentioning that Valencia's decorated star David Villa joined Schalke 04 for free when the summer transfer window opened.

At the same time, Valencia also left Raul Albiol, who gradually lost his main position, and his strength has been somewhat unable to keep up with Valencia's rhythm, whether it is Godin, Benatia, or the young Varane, they are more competitive than Albiol, so in order to be able to participate in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, he transferred to Napoli in Serie A.

However, considering that captain Iroh is healthy and in good shape, Valencia's results this season are not expected to be too bad, and not too many media have come out to contradict Valencia and question their results in the new season.

However, it is worth mentioning that Valencia is still at the top of the list of the three major European bookmakers in terms of the odds to win La Liga, and Real Madrid surpasses Barcelona in the odds of winning the championship after the record introduction of Gareth Bale, ranking second.

In the new season, the top scorer in La Liga, Iroh's odds are still ranked first, Cristiano Ronaldo is second, and Messi is third.

The odds of winning the Champions League are a bit strange in the odds given by the three major bookmakers in Europe, and Valencia, which ranks first in the odds of winning the Champions League in La Liga, is only second in the odds of winning the Champions League, behind Real Madrid.

Such a strange ball board has made many fans who are ready to buy Valencia a little hesitant......

In the blink of an eye, the first round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season is quietly coming, Valencia faces Mlaga in the first round, Real Madrid's first round opponent is Real Betis, Barcelona's first round opponent is Levante, and the common denominator of the top three in the Spanish Super League is ...... It's all at home!

As Valencia and Barcelona need to prepare for the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup in midweek, they did not field a full squad against relatively poor opponents in the first round.

Isco, the golden boy who returned to Valencia, was given the chance to start, replacing injured James Rodriguez and joining him in midfield by Luka Modric and Xavi Martinez.

The only constant was the attacking trident, with Elo, David Silva and Edinson Cavani starting.

So even if Valencia has made some changes to the lineup, their offensive ability is still among the best in La Liga.

In the end, thanks to goals from Edinson Cavani, Ailo and Isco, they beat Malaga by three goals at home and got the new season off to a good start.

Real Madrid had a thrilling 2:1 reversal of Real Betis in the same game to avoid the embarrassment of the first round, while Barcelona made a big splash a little later, and the media broke out after a whole summer, and he scored an early hat-trick to make the game count out of suspense......

In addition, Neymar, who joined Barcelona this summer, also scored twice, helping Barcelona to 7:0 Levante at home and ranking first on goal difference.
