"Now, Ibiza is the touchstone. Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla, and Barcelona are all defeated at Ibiza. Except for Sevilla, who played at home at Pisjuan Stadium, only lost 1-2, Atletico Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona are all defeated away in Ibiza. Now, Ibiza is the real test of defending champion Real Madrid when he is away!" "As".

The Daily Sports Daily said more directly: Didn’t Real Madrid laugh at Barcelona for losing to Ibiza? Now Ibiza is here, huh, we’re waiting to see how you deal with Ibiza.

Madrid, Valdebebas Training Base, this is the newly opened training base in Real Madrid, and the training facilities are first-class in Europe.

On the side of the No. 1 training ground, Real Madrid head coach Bernd Schuster was sitting in a chair, wearing sunglasses, and watching his assistant David Cortez Cabarrero directing the team's training.

At first, Shuster thought that today's sunshine was good, but as time went by, the sun was a little dizzy, and Shuster was a little irritable.

He felt it was like his nearly a season and a half since coaching Real Madrid.

He started coaching Real Madrid last summer. Real Madrid had an excellent record in the first half of that season, defeating Villarreal and Valencia away with big scores. In the 17th round, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 1-0 away. Then, after 19 rounds, Real Madrid had a record of 15 wins, draws and losses and had 47 points, tying the half-point record since La Liga changed to a three-point system. Schuster's reputation could be said to have reached a peak at the time.

Although the record declined in the second half, there was no suspense. Real Madrid still successfully defended the La Liga championship in the 35th round, after defeating Osasuna 1 away.

What makes Real Madrid fans even more proud is that since this happens to be the previous round of the national derby, in the subsequent derby match, Barcelona players lined up outside the Bernabeu player channel to welcome the champion and applaud the champion.

This also made Schuster very popular with fans and media in Real Madrid at that time.

However, Schuster's life is really hard now.

The Spanish Super Cup was doubled by Ibiza in two rounds and was left to the Super Cup championship. In the first round of the league, Real Madrid lost 1: away to La Coruña. Due to the so-called "Riaso Curse" and the loss of the biggest competitor Barcelona, ​​this loss did not arouse much criticism. What followed was a calm day. Real Madrid won 7 wins and 1 draw in various seasons. Schuster and Calderon were both confident in defending the title.

The turning point occurred 11 days ago. In the Champions League group stage that challenged Juventus away, Real Madrid lost 1: to Juventus, Piero and Amauri successively broke through the goal guarded by Casillas. This loss was like a sharp needle piercing a balloon and deflated Real Madrid.

Then, the worst situation occurred. Real Madrid lost to the C-Class League 3 away in the Copa del Rey. At that time, "Marca" even used the title of "Centenary Shame" to express dissatisfaction. Then, the last round of the league was tied 1-1 by Almeria, and Schuster even began to hear the sporadic sounds of dismissal from the stands.

Under such circumstances, Schuster and Real Madrid are not allowed to lose in this league match against Ibiza. It is not only to avenge the revenge of being defeated by Ibiza in the Spanish Super Cup, but also because Schuster really can't afford to lose in this game.

...

Before the match against Ibiza, Real Madrid deputy Guti was interviewed by reporters. When asked "who is the most important figure in Ibiza", he said without hesitation: Marklele."

"Only when you were teammates with Marklele and then became opponents, you can feel the importance of him most deeply." Guti said.

As we all know, Guti has a very arrogant personality. It can be seen how profound the Real Madrid stars have had in the past few seasons after Real Madrid lost Marklele.

Real Madrid head coach Schuster agreed with the team's deputy, saying: "I am very satisfied with the team's offensive ability, but the opponent is Ibiza. We must be careful. Real Madrid wants to score a goal and to tear open Ibiza's defense line. First, we must break through Marklele's defense zone."

The media recognized Schuster's words. First of all, Marklele is in good shape. This French veteran is indeed an important factor in Ibiza's outstanding performance this season. With Marklele in the midfield, Ibiza's defensive barrier has increased significantly. No one expected that a 35-year-old veteran would have such an outstanding performance. In addition, they also agree with Schusterle's confidence in Real Madrid's attacking ability. The biggest victory in La Liga since the beginning of this season was created by Real Madrid. They defeated Sporting Gijon 7-1 at home in the fourth round of the league.

Although Real Madrid's situation has been a little bad in the past half month, it was a setback in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. In the game, the season has been held for nine rounds, and Real Madrid's league status is getting better and better.

This time it was home games again, and the media generally hoped that Real Madrid's successful revenge at the Bernabeu: in the Spanish Super Cup before the start of the season, Real Madrid lost to Ibiza was an accident. The lineup of the Galaxy battleships changed a lot and was still in turmoil at the time, so it was understandable to lose.

Fang Jue ignored these reasons the media was looking for for Real Madrid, and he saw the opportunity to win at the Bernabeu again:

He admitted that Real Madrid's attack power is indeed relatively strong, which is what Schuster's confidence lies. However, when it comes to goal-scoring ability, Ibiza is the first place.

At present, after the nine rounds of La Liga, the third most goals were Real Madrid's 4 goals, and the second most were Barcelona's 8 goals, and the most goals were Ibiza's 36 goals!

Ibiza scored one-third more goals than Real Madrid. Real Madrid said they had strong offensive ability, and Fang Jue smiled but said nothing.

In addition, the most important thing is that Fang Jue is concerned about the number of goals conceded. Ibiza conceded 11 goals in nine leagues, ranking fourth in La Liga, while Real Madrid conceded 13 goals in nine leagues, ranking eighth in La Liga. Objectively speaking, he conceded more goals.

You should know that Real Madrid's goalkeeper is Casillas. As one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Casillas' form and ability are unquestionable. Casillas has excellent save performance in every game. Under such circumstances, there is only one reason why Real Madrid conceded so many goals: their defense is not good...

Real Madrid's two full-backs like assists, especially left-back Marcelo, who plays so well that he even uses himself as the left winger.

Faced with such a Real Madrid that focuses on offense and defensiveness, Fang Jue quickly determined the tactics of this game.
