Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Persevering Prince of Infernal Affairs, Fernando
At 22:00 on the evening of September 16th, Real Madrid's home match against Real Betis and Barcelona's away match against Valencia started at the same time!
Before the game, public opinion was unanimously optimistic about Real Madrid, although Real Betis is also a member of the "La Liga Champions Club", but since the club was founded in 1907, their only championship experience has been in the distant 1935, in addition, Betis can take the results of the 1964 and 1995 league third place, and the runner-up of the Spanish Super Cup in the just concluded season!
You must know that in the current situation where Real Madrid and Barcelona are dominant, even La Liga powerhouses such as Sevilla, Valencia and Villarreal can only pretend to be their grandsons to play low-key, and wait until the top two are napping to stir up the situation, so "secondary powerhouses" like Betis want to overturn Real Madrid, which has not tasted defeat this season, away from home, which is basically no different from Don Quixote challenging the windmill!
Real Madrid's supporters hope that Valencia can use the home advantage to "help" Barcelona, the rival Barcelona who has accumulated zero points and ranked 20th in the La Liga standings so far, to retain the "throne" of the last place, and by the way open the points gap with Real Madrid, paving the way for Real Madrid to win the championship Rijkaard regained the majesty of the best coach in the world in 2006, stepped on the corpse of Valencia to achieve the "Jedi Counterattack", and finally surpassed Real Madrid to defend the dignity of the defending champions!
The odds offered by the bookmaker are also very telling, Real Madrid has a winning rate of 1-6, a draw of 5-1, Real Betis has a winning rate of 10-1, on the other hand, Barcelona and Valencia, Barcelona has a winning rate of 1-2, a draw of 1-1, and Valencia's winning rate of 3-1. Overall, the major bookmakers are more optimistic about Real Madrid's home win over Betis, and Valencia, which occupies the advantage of home stadium, is not impossible to beat Barcelona because of the team with David Villa (David Villa), David Silva (David Silva), Joaquin (Joaquin (Joaquin) and Vicente (Vicente) and other La Liga stars!
Although it is expected from the excitement that the strong collision between Barcelona and Valencia should be more enjoyable, but because of Li Tongfan, CCTV5 still chooses to broadcast the "two emperors" battle between Real Madrid and Real Betis!
At 3:45 a.m. Yanjing time, countless fans stood in front of the TV and waited for the game to start!
The city of Madrid!
Santiago Bernabéu Stadium!
At the whistle of referee Alfonso Oliveira, the game begins!
Due to the tight schedule in the next week, Li Tongfan made adjustments to the team's starting lineup, Argentine Xiao Zhengtai Higuain replaced Van Nistelrooy as the starting striker, partnered with the alien Ronaldo, the forward is the golden wolf Guti, the younger Sakyamuni Marcelo replaces Robinho as the left winger, and Reyes forms a new black and white double brake, the back is still a new generation of all-round defensive midfielder Beckham, on the back line, Sicinho replaces Ramos as the starter, and Cannavaro, Joel Luca and Robert Carlos form the "Big Four" in the rear, and the head of the team got the ruby God of War card in the Spanish national game because of the handsome and unreasonable Casillas, and the substitute Diego Lopez started!
Xiao Zhengtai Mata sat on the bench at the Bernabeu, "shivering" with excitement, and drew hundreds of crosses on his chest in a row!
As it was a home game, Real Madrid adhered to the aggressive attack policy implemented by Li Tongfan since taking office, and played very relaxed, and only 2 minutes and 45 seconds into the opening game, Real Betis defender Fernando Vegia brought down Real Madrid's captain Guti 35 meters in front of the goal, giving Beckham a great opportunity to play the "full moon scimitar".
Perhaps because the opportunity came too early, the heartthrob was ill-prepared and hit the left post of Betis' goal with a kick to the sighs of more than 70,000 Real Madrid fans......
However, Real Madrid fans quickly forgot about this unpleasantness, because in the 5th minute of the game, Betis defender Fernando Vegia, who was seriously suspected of being undercover, saw that Beckham failed to live up to his free kick opportunity, and did not hesitate to give Real Madrid a bigger surprise - a penalty!
The result of the matter is this, the heartthrob backfield long pass to find Higuain in front, the little watermelon used his bulging muscles to resist the Betis defenders, the header slanted the ball to the white Sha Reyes who was inserted from the right side of the high speed, Reyes slipped the ball into the penalty area before he had time to shoot, Fernando Vegga made a flying tackle, and then Reyes was very cooperative and shameless lying in the small penalty area and rolling and howling......
Then, the referee Alfonso appeared in the right place at the right time, and in the cheers of the Real Madrid fans, he very neatly rewarded Fernando Vegga, who played "Infernal Affairs" so persistently and perseveringly, a Topaz God of War card, and awarded Real Madrid a penalty!
Because this penalty kick was so weird, that the two coaches standing on the sidelines said in unison: Say! Lao Li is excited, while Betis coach is angry. In fact, the ball Reyes just now has stopped a little big, Betis goalkeeper Sanchez has also completely blocked the near corner, the probability of this kind of ball not being scored is 10 times the chance of scoring, I really don't know what Fernando Vegga thinks, and he resolutely shoveled at Reyes's foot without ball control......
In "Come on! In the turbulent waves of Madrid", Ronaldo scored a penalty, and in the 6th minute of the game, Real Madrid took a 1:0 lead at home!
Playing at home, a dream start, almost everything indicates that this game has lost its suspense, but the next game is not as optimistic as Real Madrid fans imagined!
Betis quickly put together a threatening counter-attack after conceding the goal, but the 21-year-old Brazilian striker Rafeal-Sobis, who has just joined the team this season, has not yet fully integrated into the team, and has deflected teammate and Brazilian fellow Edu past goalkeeper Diego Lopez's over-the-top pass......
Seeing this scene, the head coach of Betis couldn't help but burst out the second foul language of the game: Say!
In the 15th minute, Sicinho, who got the new start of Li Tongfan for the first time this season, was probably a little too excited, and when he sent the sideline ball in his own half, I don't know if it was because of the water in his head or how, he actually threw the ball over the big bald head of his teammate Cannavaro, who stepped forward to receive it, and handed it to the confused Rafael Sobis......
Sobis glanced at his fellow Brazilian Ciciño, and immediately ran with the ball after reacting, but fortunately, another Real Madrid central defender, Joel Luca, stood in a precise position, and rushed over with his long legs from the diagonal spur to shovel the ball away!

The second more, don't talk nonsense, continue to code words!
