Before the second round of La Liga, Qin Xiong went to Switzerland to participate in the draw ceremony for the group stage of the Champions League held by UEFA, during which he received the European Golden Boot award from last season.

As for Real Madrid's Champions League draw grouping, Qin Xiong didn't pay much attention to it at all and didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, with the strength of Real Madrid's team, the Champions League group stage simply cannot create much difficulty for them.

In the end, Real Madrid's draw was very good.

Real Madrid, Lazio, Olympiacos, Werder Bremen.

Real Madrid's signing luck is so good that not only is there almost no suspense about qualifying from the group, but even the top spot in the group seems to be easily obtained.

After receiving the award, he returned to Madrid, and Qin Xiong joined the team non-stop and went to the Love Song Stadium to challenge the yellow submarine Villarreal.

Real Madrid's 6-1 slaughter of Atletico Madrid in the opening game of the league was a sensational match in La Liga by Villarreal, who beat the Bats 3-0 away at Valencia.

Villarreal is judged to be a dark horse in the new season, as the club is doing well.

The theme of Villarreal's summer transfer is inseparable from two names: Forlan and Riquelme.

Forlan transferred to Atletico Madrid for 21 million euros, and with this money the "submarine" began a small transformation.

The €10 million signing of Italian Rossi from Manchester United officially signed Tomasson, who was on loan from Stuttgart last winter, but the two of them plus Franco. It is difficult to say whether Nihat and José Mari will be able to play the role of "torpedoes". Although several people in the warm-up game performed well. Rossi scored three goals in four games, and Franco even scored six in one game.

It must be said that Riquelme's departure is a pity, and the lack of character is the reason why the Argentine maestro finally parted with Villarreal.

However, there are two sides to everything, and in the last 8 rounds of La Liga last season, Villarreal overcame "Riquelme dependence" and created a miracle of 8 consecutive league wins.

In the run-up to the new season, Pire warned other opponents: "Any team that ignores Villarreal's quality will regret it." ”

In addition to the striker, Villarreal have also signed three quality players. Young France international Mafulba, Spain international Capdevilla and Uruguayan centre-back Godin have arrived one after another, with the former costing 8 million euros and the latter moving from Laco for free, which also fills the vacancy left by the transfers of Tacinadi, Arua Barena and Jose Enrique.

Another "big deal" of the submarine is the 6 million purchase of the strong goalkeeper Diego López from Real Madrid, and the former Argentine national youth goalkeeper Barbosa went to Huelva.

In addition, Cazorla, who performed well on loan at Huelva last season, has also finalised his return, further enhancing the depth and quality of his midfield.

In terms of departing players. The departures of Forlan and Jose Enrique are "foreign exchange earners", and the rest of the players are mostly veterans and do not have the status of the main player.

Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini is a "believer" in 442. The formation he used before was basically an evolution of the 442.

Goalkeeper Diego López is out of the driver's seat, and Uruguayan Vieira is equally reassuring.

After the departures of Alvarez and Peña, the centre-back seemed to be a shortcoming for the "submarine" to set sail.

It's not because of the low level of newcomer Godin, but because the personnel are a little stretched, Gangalo has not recovered from his injury for a long time, Sigan is old and prone to injury, and the original midfielder Fuentes has been transformed into a central defender.

The flanks were in good shape, with Josemi and Venta on the right and Capdevilla and youngster de la Vela on the left.

The midfield is where Villarreal has the most abundant resources. At the back there are the sapper-type Senna, the playmaker Giosico, who has just risen from the second team but is not a small name, as well as the French international Mafulba, the attacking midfielder also has Chilean teenager Fernandez, former Arsenal players Pire, Carney and Cazorla.

Manuel Pellegrini can choose and deploy players according to his form, with four or five midfielders, and he can defend solidly without losing attacking power.

The forward situation of the submarine is that 5 people compete for two main positions.

Franco, a Mexican player of Argentine origin, has a lot of strength and impact, but he is not very technical and can take chances, and he is similar to Jose Mari.

Dane Tomasson took his chances well but ran a little poorly, with Nihart and Rossi both having similar characteristics as a standard second centre-forward, with the difference being that the former suffered a serious injury last season and the latter being young and vigorous. How to use these people in actual combat depends on Pellegrini's arrangement.

Villarreal in the post-Riquelme era has a promising future, but manager Manuel Pellegrini is still feeling a headache.

At the start of the new season, the Yellow Submarine met defending champions Real Madrid, and he was very worried that his team would be beaten like Atletico Madrid.

However, when the back line was overstretched, he had to bet desperately on the offensive end!

On the evening of September 3rd, Love Song Stadium.

Real Madrid is coming!

The sharp-headed Real Madrid generals walked into the Love Song Stadium with their heads held high and stepped onto the field with indomitable momentum.

"Welcome to the Love Song Stadium, where the second round of La Liga will be the highlight today, with Villarreal hosting defending La Liga champions Real Madrid!

Both teams won the first round of the league, Real Madrid thrashed Atletico Madrid with a score of 6-1, and Villarreal scored a triumphant victory over Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium.

Villarreal immediately launched the attack after kick-off, Hosiko played the ball through to Rossi in front of the penalty area, who tapped the ball directly across the wing, and Pire, who cut inside from the wing, slid straight to the ball before Diarra could help the defence, and the ball slid out of the goal.

Villarreal looked very imposing after the opening! (To be continued......)
