When a Real Madrid fan asked Florentino if he could bring Ronaldo back to the Bernabeu.

Galeries Lafayette said firmly, Ronaldo, he is 35 years old.

There is no room for negotiation, and the seemingly impersonal answer is that this is Real Madrid under Florentino's management.

Strict control of players' salaries is an important means of stabilizing the dressing room.

No matter who it is, Florentino has always stuck to his bottom line.

The veteran signs once a year, and he will not choose to compromise if he can't meet the conditions.

Players who want to leave, try to be decent as much as possible.

The departure of many players only had conflicts with the club, and there was no stalemate, and Real Madrid still sent warm instructions.

That's why Real Madrid have been in a state of chaos for years.

This time, with the departure of James, Real Madrid gave him enough face.

James, whose contract only expires in 2021, has a transfer fee of around 25 million euros.

Real Madrid did not charge Everton a transfer fee in order to facilitate the transfer as soon as possible and save wages.

It's a win-win deal.

Regarding Rossi's salary increase, Florentino's answer was very calm.

"Rowe's performance is worth so much. And, the value he brings to Real Madrid is not just on the pitch. ”

Rossi's commercial value is an important reason why Lafayette gave him the highest salary in the Real Madrid team.

Reasonable, well-founded and humane, Rossi's salary increase not only did not cause dissatisfaction among the veterans in the Real Madrid team, but instead aroused the motivation of the players.

This has played a role in boosting the morale of the upcoming European Super Cup.

Puskas Arena welcomes the two La Liga teams of the UEFA Super Cup.

Real Madrid vs Sevilla.

This also represents the domination of Spanish football in European football in the past year.

Among the many opponents he has faced in the past, Rossi's least favorite opponent is Sevilla.

It's okay if the players make a lot of small movements, the main thing is to kick dirty.

Rossi was once injured when he was fouled by a player on the Pizjuan ball.

When they met in the league last season, Real Madrid also fought hard for a long time before they struggled to win the opponent.

In this battle, Sevilla did not come well.

This summer, Sevilla spent only 3.5 million euros to bring in Croatian midfielder Rakitic from Barcelona.

His arrival has made the team's offense and defense tend to be balanced.

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid, who attacked first, pressed the opponent wildly.

Although Sevilla does not have a top superstar, the overall squad has both offense and defense, can play high pressing, and is not afraid of any team in attack.

The focus is on fast passing, fast running, flying on both wings, and attacking football.

Conservatism was the defensive tactic used by Sevilla at the beginning of the game.

This kind of conservatism is not to shrink the defense, but to launch a ferocious steal in his own half to block the rhythm of Real Madrid's attack.

Because Real Madrid is very fast-paced overall, the ball passes through the defence very easily.

Therefore, Sevilla intend to compress the distance between their three defences, so as to compress the opponent's passing between the defences.

Of course, this is just a conservative strategy on defense.

As soon as there is an opportunity to attack, they will not hesitate to use the two wings to raid the gaps on either side of Real Madrid.

Marcelo on the field has a deep understanding of this.

In the early days of his tenure at Real Madrid, the favourite was often out of position against Sevilla, resulting in two attacks from his flanks to open the scoring.

Marcelo's poor performance at that time also caused him to be booed by the Meilinger fans.

Fortunately, he has a strong psychological quality, and after carrying this low period, his perfect cooperation with Ronaldo covered up many defensive problems and gradually grew into the team's main left-back.

In this game, Marcelo's wing was entrusted with the heavy responsibility, hoping to use his attacking ability to suppress Sevilla's wide attack.

The cooperation with Rossi has become the key to Real Madrid's breakthrough in this game.

However, Sevilla's tenacious defense at the beginning of the game did not allow Real Madrid to find the right opportunity.

Drawing lessons from last season's defeat to Real Madrid, coach LotterPage focused his defence on his own half, counter-attacking when he had the opportunity and concentrating on defending when he didn't.

In a word, Gou.

Reckless high pressing, even if you get opportunities, but for a team that is good at counter-attacking, as long as your fitness drops, the defense will often be porous, and danger will follow.

However, Rossi still smelled a chance in the ribs.

In the 17th minute, Kroos won the ball on the left flank, and the Sevilla player did not interfere at the first time, allowing him to easily send a through ball forward.

Rossi, who appeared on the ribs, unloaded the ball with his right foot, turned to face the goal, and threatened the goal as quickly as possible.

Rossi, who entered the penalty area, knocked horizontally without shooting angle, and Benzema stepped in and shot directly at the goal, which was tackled by the defender who came to the ground and slid to destroy the bottom line.

Real Madrid attack from a corner.

After Ramos leaped high in the middle of the box to attract the Sevilla defence, Rossi cushioned the ball into the back post with the arch of his foot.

Unfortunately, the goalkeeper's courage this time, super fast reflexes and stretched limbs allowed him to gently flick the ball with his fingertips when the ball was about to cross the goal line, changing the trajectory and grazing the post out of the bottom line.

Ooh!

A loud sigh echoed through the Puskas Arena.

Seeing Real Madrid's offensive in full swing, Lotterpaig quickly made adjustments, letting go of the defense on the flanks and concentrating on protecting the rib area.

But just five minutes later, Rossi broke the game again.

Luka Modric dribbled the ball into the middle of the congestion, and his excellent escape technique allowed him to still be comfortable in the middle of the pack.

At this point, Sevilla's defence was entirely focused on him alone, with Rossi quickly cutting diagonally from the middle and running towards the left baseline.

Such a run allowed him to completely occupy a large area near the opponent's left bottom line, and Modric also saw Rossi running out of the gap for the first time.

[Modric passes!] 】

[Rossi is unguarded! 】

【Shot!!! 】

【Oops!! 】

The Real Madrid fans behind the goal stood up excitedly, clenched their fists, and waited for the moment when the ball entered the net, waving their fists in celebration.

But today, Sevilla's goalkeeper Bounou is like a divine help, flying sideways, leaning back, and his posture is extremely stretched, like a carp jumping out of the water.

The right arm is outstretched, which remains straight even after falling to the ground, blocking the ball and defusing the threat.

Tut!

After missing the goal, Rossi also smacked his lips unwillingly, repeating the shot just now with his left foot, looking for a mistake in his posture.

Although his feet are balanced, the push into the far corner just now requires superb shooting skills, and if he uses his right foot, Rossi is confident that he will be able to get nine out of ten.

But coincidentally, he appeared on the right side, and when he pushed the far corner, he happened to meet the left foot of the backfoot, and the shooting feeling was slightly less than the right foot.

Soon, the time of the first half, in the fast-paced game, was imperceptibly exhausted, and the two sides returned to the dressing room with a draw.

Zinedine Zidane was pleased with his team's performance.

It was the first competitive game of the new season, and being in such a state of play reflected the good performance of the players in the pre-match training camp.

"Luo, are you still a little scared?"

The first words Zidane said in the midfield were addressed to Rossi.

Rossi was injured against Sevilla when he deliberately made a tackle when he lifted his foot to shoot.

This foul action not only left him with physical injuries, but also affected his psychology.

Therefore, Zidane believes that Rossi missed the goal several times in the first half because he was afraid of getting injured again.

"No, sir, I'm purely in bad shape!" Rosie said bluntly.

After listening, Zidane nodded and said, "It's best if it's not affected." Now let's lay out the offensive tactics for the second half. ”

As Sevilla chose to defend to the death, Zidane decided to take the risk of attacking in order to score, and the two full-backs had to play wide, taking away as many defenders as possible, or pressing the goal together with the midfielders.

This tactic, also in the first ten minutes of the second half, achieved good results.

In the 60th minute, Real Madrid continued to attack on the left flank.

Modric, who occupies the left rib area, has left Rossi with to the wing.

Marcelo, meanwhile, stepped forward to give Sevilla's right wing-back a 1v2 situation.

At this point, Rossi suddenly slanted into the middle of the box, attracting the attention of several Sevilla players.

When all eyes are on Rossi, Benzema has a chance at the front.

I saw that at the same time as he stepped forward, he saw Kroos's pick-up pass, and after stopping the ball on his chest, he passed it back to Modric.

This time, Real Madrid took advantage of the high point in the middle and played it all out in a wonderful way.

Luka Modric met the ball and shot at goal, but unfortunately the chasing defender fell to the ground and slid the tackle, completely blocking the shot, and the ball also fell at the feet of Rakitic.

Counterattack.

After 60 minutes of being pressed by Real Madrid, Sevilla played a very sharp counter-attack.

First, after Rakitic won the second penalty, the Real Madrid players were not interfered with at the first time.

Given a wide field of vision and plenty of time to adjust, Rakitic played a long ball straight behind the Real Madrid defence.

After De Jong won the offside position, he drove straight into the ball with the ball, but was clung to by Ramos, who was chasing back.

Under the strong defence of the Real Madrid captain, De Jong picked up the ball near the penalty area in the face of the attacking goalkeeper.

The idea is good, but the footwork is really bad.

He didn't calculate the distance between him and the goalkeeper and rushed out of the way.

Courtois had enough time to judge, straighten his arms, take off and hold the ball in his arms.

Sevilla's counterattack also sounded the alarm bell for Zidane, and he immediately began to adjust.

Rossi and Vinicius swapped places.

The intent is obvious.

Rossi moved to the left and was able to use his shot more powerfully.

In the 68th minute, after Real Madrid broke the ball at the back, it advanced quickly.

Rossi won the ball on the left flank and after a sudden cross-cut, he fired a straight shot with his right foot.

But the shot was also blocked by the Sevilla player's outstretched leg.

[Oops, Rosie is in a hurry! 】

[This kick can actually not be played, and when your teammates outflank it, you have a greater chance! ] 】

[Rossi is very hungry to score, this is his 5th shot! 】

[But it's a pity that Sevilla's defense is very tenacious today!] 】

[Goalkeeper Bounou Gao resists and defuses the danger! ] 】

Seeing that the situation on the field was not right, Lopetegui hurriedly made a substitution and removed De Jong, who was in average condition.

Freshly introduced striker En-Nesyri flanked forward quickly after a team-mate on the wing hit the wall.

Had it not been for Raphael Varane's outstretched leg to clear the ball, Sevilla would have had a great chance to score.

Sevilla FC have a strong focus on the wings, with both wingers positioned very close to the touchline and the pitch wide open.

However, the wingers and the center forwards are less cooperative, and more seek to break through the side and cross the bottom, and use this to open up the situation.

This offensive was no exception.

If centre-forward En-Nesyri can pull the side away and take away the defence, then cross across the middle at this point, the threat is far greater than going straight to the centre-forward.

This is also the rigidity of old Spanish coaches like Julen Lopetegui.

With a single attacking method, a lack of effective design and good interaction, the team often has a situation where the goal is not solved well, and the advantage of the game is empty but cannot break the goal.

Not to mention that the opponent is Real Madrid, the king of Europe.

Real Madrid continued to storm around the opponent's goal.

In the 70th minute, substitute Bale, after cutting inside on the right side, suddenly hit the far post of the goal, and was saved by goalkeeper Bounou.

The offensive is not over yet.

Rossi, who grabbed the second penalty, followed up with a shot, and Bounou was powerless.

But centre-back Diego López subconsciously lifted his heel to block Rossi's follow-up shot.

Real Madrid missed another goal.

Throughout the game, Rossi's performance was not bad, but very active.

His shots can threaten the opponent's goal.

It's a pity that Sevilla's defense today is really leaky.

As the game entered the 75th minute, Sevilla suddenly picked up speed and pushed their original formation past half-time.

They did this because they saw that Real Madrid's forward players were constantly attritional, and the threat to the goal was sharply reduced.

Every time Rossi shoots, it is a high concentration of consciousness, and the mental consumption is huge.

The direct impact of mental consumption is the consumption of physical energy.

The most serious consequence of Rossi, who can't score with many shots, is the constant consumption of physical energy.

[7 shots, 0 goals!] 】

[This refreshed Rossi's worst offensive efficiency ratio.] 】

[Luck, not on Rosie's side! 】

[His fighting spirit is worthy of respect! 】

[But in front of Seville's defensive line, everything came to naught!] 】

[In fact, Zidane can try another point of attack when Rossi can't score!] 】

[Benzema, Bale can be! ] 】

[This may be Florentino's salary increase for Rossi, confirming his core position in the team! ] 】

[He is now the same as Ronaldo, with unlimited firing rights! ] 】

[If it had been replaced by other players, such an offensive efficiency would have been replaced a long time ago!] 】

And just when the commentator suggested that Real Madrid change the direction of the main attack, Real Madrid's attack came again.

Casemiro used a ferocious tackle to cut the ball off.

After the referee signaled the attack, the ball was distributed to Modric.

The Croatian midfielder took the ball and drove straight into Rossi on the left.

In the face of Sevilla's completed backline, Rossi first knocked the ball with his left heel and shook off the full-back's defense while completing the change of direction.

Immediately afterwards, his shot feint continued to shake past the central defenders who were making up the defense.

After two successive escapes, Rossi fired straight at goal from the left rib area outside the penalty area.

The ball fell sharply towards the far corner of the goal.

Bounou, who performed as a god in this game, did not react at all with any save.

Just one step with the left foot, the ball is already hanging in the net.

Suddenly!

【GOAL！！！！！ 】

【Goal!】 】

[Rossi's 8th shot finally broke through Sevilla's goal!] 】

[This is a wonderful world wave!] 】

[The ball fell with amazing force, so that the goalkeeper did not react at all! ] 】

[Tonight's Puskas Stadium is destined to score no ordinary! 】

[Perhaps, Rossi didn't score a goal before, not because he was in bad shape, and he wasn't exciting enough.

[Perhaps, he is waiting for this goal to come!] 】

[A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet!] 】

[Real Madrid 1:0! 】
