897 The start of a perfect season
"Do you want to think about it again?"
On the bus to the Nou Camp Stadium, Yang Cheng turned from the front row, looked at Messi and Iniesta with concern, and asked their opinions, that is, should they avoid it in the next Super Cup?
As early as the team arrived in Barcelona, a group of Barcelona fans were already attacking Real Madrid's buses crazily. Some people even attacked Messi and Iniesta, insulting them as traitors of the team, believing that they had betrayed Barcelona.
The team has made demands for Barcelona Club and the police, and they will focus on strengthening the protection of Real Madrid and Real Madrid players in this game. After all, this is not just Real Madrid's business. If something happens to the away team, Barcelona will be responsible.
But even so, Yang Cheng is still a little worried about the situation between Messi and Iniesta.
Messi and Iniesta looked at each other, shook their heads and expressed their rejection.
"Thank you...Boss, but..." Messi smiled helplessly. It was a knife sooner or later. It was better to come early than to come later.
"We are all professional players!" Iniesta said with certainty.
Yang Cheng nodded, "I have no doubt about this!" After saying that, he smiled at the two of them and turned around.
The courage of the two players made him look at him with admiration. He didn't expect that they would be so tough, which was indeed commendable, especially at this moment of storm, where they dared to go, which was enough to prove their courage and determination.
When the team's bus arrived at the entrance of the Camp Nou Stadium, there were groups of Barcelona fans waiting around. When they saw Real Madrid's bus, they immediately rushed to the police who blocked their bodies. However, the two rows of police officers were connected in a line and kept the passage tightly.
Yang Cheng was the first to get off the bus. He was greeted with overwhelming insults, but he did not respond and did not further stimulate the fans. Instead, he chose to go directly into the player channel.
The players following Yang Cheng walked off the bus one after another. When Barcelona fans saw Messi and Iniesta walking down, the scene suddenly went crazy. All Barcelona fans rushed around in an almost unreasonable way, trying to break away from the police's block. Forced these policemen to hold hands and line up in a row.
"Get in quickly!" The staff of the Camp Nou stadium urged nervously. When he looked at Messi and Iniesta, it was a little strange because this time they were wearing jerseys from their arch rival Real Madrid, but the staff also understood that if they had not switched to Real Madrid, Barcelona would not know what the situation would be like now.
Messi and Iniesta walked into the player passage, and then the player passage door was closed. The police began to retreat to the front of the goal to prevent anyone from entering the player passage and prevent any fans from entering the locker room.
But this is just a prelude to the first leg of the Super Cup.
…………
…………
Yang Cheng has been secretly practicing Real Madrid's 3133 tactics for some time. Although Xavi Alonso's injury has had an impact on the team, Yang Cheng used Drarede to move forward to the midfielder and instead let Thiago Silva play the role of the central defender, and the team's performance is also very good.
In this game, he also sent all his main players to play. The goalkeepers are Casillas, the defenses are Aveloa, Thiago Silva and Ramos, the midfielder is Delarede. The three midfielders are David Silva, Kaka and Iniesta, and the three forwards are Ronaldo, Aguero and Messi.
The reason why Yang Cheng used Aveloa on the defense line instead of other central defenders is actually very simple, because after many warm-up games, he found that Aveloa and Ramos have strong defensive abilities. They can be competent for the full-back and central defender positions, playing on both sides of the three defenders. It is obviously more appropriate.
Of course, Pepe and Kompani are also very good, but what Yang Cheng wants for Real Madrid is the best!
After this period of running-in, Real Madrid's 3133 tactics have been well-established. The amazing performance of the warm-up match is full of expectations for Real Madrid's new season, especially this set of powerful tactics with strong attack power.
No one will forget that in the Champions League final last season, Real Madrid completely suppressed Chelsea in half, making Chelsea almost without any counterattack in the 90-minute game. It was definitely one of the most overwhelming victory in the Champions League final. Although it was only 1:0, Real Madrid's absolute advantage was very obvious.
Now that he has obtained two strong players, Messi and Iniesta, Real Madrid's overall strength has been greatly improved. Everyone is full of expectations for how competitive this 3133 tactic can exert, especially in this game, Real Madrid is visiting the Camp Nou Stadium.
As the Champions League champion last season, Real Madrid did not play any official matches after winning the Champions League. Therefore, according to the rules, before the game, the entire Barcelona team appeared in the player channel and lined up to welcome Real Madrid's appearance.
Head coach Biranova brought starters such as Puyol, Xavi and Pique to meet Real Madrid, especially when Messi and Iniesta appeared, everyone felt embarrassed. The fans in the stands booed everywhere, and the players had stiff expressions. They didn't know what kind of reception they should be given to these two "traitors". In the end, they shook hands.
With the departure of Messi, Iniesta and Alves, Barcelona, which was originally star-studded, has now lost its past shine, and the lineup is also filled with many players from the second team.
In the starting lineup of this game, the goalkeepers were Valdes, the defenses were Abidal, Pique, Puyol and Adriano, the three midfielders were Busquets, Xavi and Keita, and the tridents in the frontcourt were Pedro, Torres and Fabregas, respectively. Fabres became the biggest beneficiary after Messi and Iniesta left.
Bilanova's tactics have also been running through the whole summer. Now that he has taken it out, he doesn't have much confidence in facing Real Madrid, but he wants to take advantage of the home court to make a comeback in the beginning and beat Real Madrid's spirit in one go. After all, there are too many Real Madrid stars. It may not be a good thing.
However, in the 13th minute of the game, Torres got the ball in the frontcourt and wanted to break through, but after being intercepted by Ramos, he passed it to Iniesta, who got the ball. As soon as the latter got the ball, he was immediately booed. In Yang Cheng's words, Messi and Iniesta blocked the fire of Barcelona fans for him.
Iniesta, wearing a white Real Madrid jersey, was obviously not affected by booing. When he got the ball, he happened to meet Keita's close body and saw him break through with a flexible ball. He easily got rid of Keita's entanglement, dribbled the ball forward, and passed it to Messi's feet just right.
Messi knew Abidal very well. He knew how to pull Abidal and Pique, so he ran in the middle skillfully. After receiving Iniesta's straight pass, he calmly dribbled the ball and suddenly inserted it. He broke through to the right edge of the penalty area, threw Abidal behind him, attracted Pique to fill the place, and passed it back to the back point of the penalty area.
Ronaldo intervened, using his physical and height advantages to suppress Puyol, jumped high, and forced Messi to pass from close range and hit the goal guarded by Valdes, 1:0!
After the Portuguese scored, he rushed out of Barcelona's penalty area excitedly. He rushed to the corner flagpole, clenched his fists and roared.
Real Madrid players chased after him one by one and congratulated Ronaldo for his goal. Only Messi and Iniesta, both of them lowered their heads and slowly walked towards their half. It was obvious that although they made great contributions to this goal, they were not ready to celebrate at all.
Because the opponent they defeated was Barcelona!
Without Iniesta, the midfield combination of Keita and Xavi could never be seamless, and Barcelona's midfield was easily broken by Real Madrid, resulting in the disconnection of the three lines, while Real Madrid firmly suppressed Barcelona within the 32-meter area and carried out a round of bombardment.
But Barcelona is so thin that it is bigger than the horse. Although Messi, Iniesta and Alves left, Barcelona is still full of powerful players. Although players such as Keita, Fabregas, Adriano are not as dazzling as Messi, they are also famous and powerful players.
When Barcelona defended the goal, Real Madrid's offense was also curbed and they would not get a chance for a while.
Until the 54th minute of the second half, Real Madrid cooperated flexibly on the right side. Messi ran to the middle without the ball, Kaka stepped forward, Aguero pulled the ball to the right side to get the ball, Argentine forward passed Kaka, the Brazilian stuck Pique with his body, headed the ball behind the opponent's defense, and handed it to Messi's feet.
When Messi got the ball, he happened to be double-teamed by Puyol, Busquets and Pique who returned to defense. However, Messi calmly stopped the ball to his left and made a move to break to the left, and made a very secret but realistic fake move, as if he was going to penetrate the gap between Puyol and Busquets.
Puyol and Busquets undoubtedly know Messi very well, but in the midst of the flash of lightning on the court, they couldn't tell whether Messi really wanted to break through to the left or a fake move. They could only shift their center of gravity to the left with instinctive reaction, hoping to block Messi.
But Messi is small, his feet are very flexible and skillful, and the ball is always within his control. As soon as he saw that he deceived Puyol and Busquets, he hit his left foot and stopped his pace, changing his yearning to speed up in the penalty area and break into the penalty area.
Puyol was the first to react. He had been guarding against Messi for a long time, so he immediately made a tackle, but Messi obviously knew him very well. He deliberately slowed down half a beat, avoiding Puyol's feet, forcing the latter to lose balance and fall to the ground, and then dribbling the ball from Puyol to the penalty area.
Messi's explosive power at a short distance forced Busquets and Pique to catch up with him, and all this happened in the blink of an eye. When Valdes reacted, Messi had already reached the same level as the penalty spot. The Barcelona goalkeeper had almost no hesitation and abandoned the goal to attack.
Messi calmly chose to push the ball, and the ball quickly entered the goal behind Valdes in a straight line from Valdes' left. Keita, who kept chasing back, finally caught up with the ball, but it was inside the goal line, and he himself crashed into the net, 2:0!
The entire Camp Nou Stadium became silent!
All Barcelona players and fans watched this scene in amazement, watching their former heroes, now wearing their arch-rival jerseys, piercing their Barcelona goal. This made them feel helpless, angry and ashamed.
After Messi scored, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he was like other times in the game. He lowered his head and walked back silently, without any celebration or any unusual moves, just like this. It seemed that his shot did not make any attempt.
Real Madrid players were originally celebrating another goal, but seeing Messi like this, they stopped celebrating. Kaka, who was closest to the front, walked up and put on Messi's shoulder to comfort the Argentine, and then Iniesta. In the end, all Real Madrid players walked up and comforted Messi.
On the contrary, Barcelona players were standing foolishly on the court. This was supposed to be what they were doing, but now they have been deprived of this power because Messi has put on a jersey that is completely different from them.
From the moment Messi put on Real Madrid's jersey, they were destined to be enemies. It is difficult to become comrades-in-arms again!
No Barcelona fans booed and humiliated Messi again, because they saw Messi walking back with his head down, his short body seemed to bear a thousand times the burden. This image gave people an indescribable feeling of sadness, which made people feel from the heart that this was just a pitiful person!
Yang Cheng quickly made a substitution. He replaced Messi with Mata, and soon, he replaced Iniesta with Canales. They were all counter-substitutions, while Real Madrid always maintained strong control on the court and firmly bombarded Barcelona's goal.
But in the end, Real Madrid still failed to break through Barcelona's goal again and could only accept a 2:0 victory.
Everyone can see that from this game, you can fully feel it. The gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is constantly widening, especially after Messi and Iniesta joined Real Madrid. It is a situation of rising and falling, and Alves' departure has further weakened Barcelona's strength.
It is difficult for Barcelona to compete with Real Madrid today, and it is even difficult to make a difference in European stadiums.
As Biranova admitted at a post-match press conference, Barcelona's biggest goal this season is to ensure the stability of the team. He also generously admitted that Real Madrid will book the La Liga championship in advance, while Barcelona's goal is to runner-up.
Yang Cheng was satisfied with the player's performance and explained why he replaced Messi halfway.
"He and Andrees both under tremendous pressure in this game. I believe that all the coaches want to protect their players from harm. I feel that the inspection of them has achieved their goal, so I replaced them and gave them a rest, but they will continue to get the chance to prove themselves in the next Bernabeu Cup."
Sure enough, in the Bernabeu Cup against Galatasaray in the mid-week, Messi and Iniesta got another chance to play, but other positions were rotated relatively, and some players who played the whole game in the first leg of the Super Cup did not play in this game.
Messi and Iniesta continued their outstanding performance in the first leg of the Super Cup. In the game against Galatasaray, Messi scored again, while Iniesta assisted Villa in scoring. Both of them showed admirable strength and integrated into Real Madrid's overall tactics very quickly and they entered the state without any running-in.
With the outstanding performance of these two players, and Parejo assisted Villa to score twice, Real Madrid finally defeated Galatasaray 3-0 and won the Bernabeu Cup again.
On the weekend, Real Madrid ushered in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Yang Cheng's starting lineup has not changed much compared to the first round. That is, Villa, who is in excellent form in the Bernabeu Cup, replaced Aguero's starting lineup, and Xavi Alonso, who returned from injury, replaced Delarede and played the midfielder, and the other positions remained unchanged.
After 15 minutes of the game, Real Madrid took the lead.
Messi dribbled the ball from Busquets' entanglement and sent a straight pass. After Iniesta, who was inserted, got the ball at the front of the penalty area, facing Valdes who was attacking, calmly shot and scored a goal, opening the first record for Real Madrid, 1:0!
After scoring the goal, Iniesta was cheered and cheered by all Real Madrid fans in the stands, but like Messi, he did not celebrate at all. He turned around and walked back to his half with a calm look on his face. Obviously, he was not going to celebrate when he broke through Barcelona's goal, because he still had a lot of feelings for the team that had cultivated him.
In the 20th minute, Real Madrid scored again. This time, Ronaldo's close shot from the small penalty area, and once again broke Valdes' goal for Real Madrid, 2:0.
Real Madrid, which was unstoppable, seemed out of control, and Barcelona, which was already at a disadvantage, was at a disadvantage at the Bernabeu Stadium. In the second half, Villa's goal completely helped Barcelona establish the victory of the game.
3:0!
Real Madrid naturally defeated Barcelona at the Bernabeu Stadium with an impressive record of 5:0 in two rounds, and successfully won the Spanish Super Cup, which also became Real Madrid's first championship trophy in the new season!
Just as Real Madrid players promised on the club's official website, this season will be a perfect season. They will use all their strength to win every game and use the best results to see off their head coach. They hope to give Yang Cheng a perfect season.
"Our sincere hope is that Real Madrid, composed of us, can become the pride of our most beloved boss, and make the boss proud of his coaching of such a Real Madrid!"
This is undoubtedly the voice of the players, and they will also put in their own efforts and sweat for this!
Chapter completed!
