785 Superstar's Battlefield

Real Madrid eventually defeated Switzerland's Zurich 5-2 away and won their first victory in the Champions League group stage.

In the last moment of the game's stoppage time, Raul won another goal for Real Madrid.

Logically speaking, the outside world should have appreciated the away victory of the Champions League, but in fact it is completely the opposite. The Spanish media was not satisfied with Real Madrid's performance after the game.

The Spanish Public Post believes that this is a deceptive victory. The AB also publicly stated that Real Madrid used sharp attacks to cover up many of its own problems and weaknesses, which will expose Real Madrid's fatal weaknesses when facing stronger opponents.

Without exception, they all pointed their finger at Real Madrid's defense.

From three to zero in the first half to the 3 to two in the jeopardy, Real Madrid played very dangerously, and what is even more unbelievable is that the two goals conceded only occurred within three minutes.

Once, the opponent made a single strike, Casillas was forced to abandon the goal and foul, and the other was a corner kick defense missed.

Spanish National also analyzed that Real Madrid's defensive weakness was not exposed until this game. As early as the first round of the game, although the team defeated the opponent four to zero, the problem on the defensive end was still very serious, and La Coruna was given many opportunities in the game.

Then, whether it was facing Espanyol or this away game against Zurich, the problems exposed by Real Madrid were very obvious, which was the team's old problems on the defensive end.

"This can be said to be an old problem that has plagued Real Madrid for nearly ten years!" The National News believes.

Real Madrid was reassuring last time, that should date back to two thousand years, or even earlier.

After Boske took office with firefighting, he changed Real Madrid's past offensive football and instead adopted a more stable five-guard style.

At the beginning, Boske's style of play was greatly criticized and criticized, and conservative criticism was rumored because it was not allowed to play such conservative football in Real Madrid.

But later, as the team's performance steadily improved, especially in the Champions League, Bosque relied on this five-guard style to bring Real Madrid into the Champions League final, and defeated Valencia led by Cooper three-zero in the final.

With this Champions League, Bosque became the most successful fire-fighting coach in Real Madrid's history. Elgra, who was originally a midfielder, was transformed into a central defender after this season, which has become a big story.

But then, Real Madrid began the era of Florentino's Galaxy Battleships, with superstars piled up in the frontcourt, the midfield and backcourt became weaker and weaker, and the weakness of the defense line continued. Even now, it has not been improved.

This time, a 5-2 away victory over Zurich is certainly a pleasure, but the defensive weakness exposed behind it is also worrying.

Santiago, a famous Spanish football critic, commented in his column that the five away goals were indeed dazzling, but Zurich's strength is not outstanding, Benitez still needs to learn from it, and Real Madrid needs to become more balanced.

"Balance does not mean that you need to blindly strengthen your defense, but that you must firmly control the ball and the situation until you find the most suitable route to the ball, and then send the ball to an area that can create a threat, but this is exactly what Real Madrid is doing worse now."

Santiag also pointed out that there are indeed problems in Real Madrid's defense line. Ramos and Pepe have never been able to give people confidence. The two central defenders always play frivolously. Benitez used Metzeld and Fermuren in rotation, and there were also some problems that could not be relieved.

"We should see that Aveloa and Maxwell are both strong full-backs in Liverpool and Inter Milan. The double midfielder combination of Mascherano and Xavi Alonso has proved their value in Liverpool."

"But in Real Madrid, such a defensive configuration is very worrying when facing a team like Zurich, which has to attract enough attention."

Santhiago finally said that the reason why Real Madrid's start of this season is so smooth is the most grateful for the superstars in the frontcourt, especially Yang Yang.

"So far, Yang Yang has played three games for Real Madrid, scoring five goals and two assists. Such a report card is enough to make him stand out. Looking at the entire world football world, no second person can perform like this."

"As Real Madrid fans, we are full of confidence in the team's offense. We can proudly tell the world that with a top offensive player like Yang Yang, we are confident of breaking any defense line in the world, but at the same time, we must also pay attention that winning alone is not enough to rely on offense."

As a famous Real Madrid fan, Santiago's column writes the voices of countless Real Madrid fans.

They generally gave Yang Yang the highest evaluation, believing that the transfer fee of 100 million euros was too worth it.

But what everyone is most worried about is defense, for fear that the team's weak defense will drag Yang Yang in front.

However, many media are also helping Benitez explain that Real Madrid's weak defense has a long history.

Le Marca lists Real Madrid's defensive data in La Liga in recent years. Since Queiroz took over Real Madrid in 2003, Real Madrid's goals conceded in La Liga over the years are 54, 32, 40, 40, 36 and 52 respectively.

Among them, although Real Madrid won the La Liga championship in the 2006 to 2007 and 2008 seasons, but in the 2006 to 2007 seasons, the Real Madrid coached by Capello only ranked fifth in La Liga, losing to Barcelona with 33 goals, Sevilla with 35 goals, Atletico Madrid with 39 goals and Getafe with 33 goals.

Only in the 2007 to 2008 seasons, Real Madrid had a relatively advantageous position, ranking first with 84 La Liga goals, and 36 conceded goals were the most solid defense.

The purpose of Marca listing these data is to tell everyone that Real Madrid's weak defense is a long-standing old problem, and defense is maintained by the system and cannot be improved overnight.

"Whether it is Benitez or the few defensive players in the team, they are all players who have proved their strength in the European League. I believe that as long as they give them more time, they should be able to integrate and form quickly."

…………

On the evening of September 20th, the Bernabeu Stadium.

In the third round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Jerez at home.

This is a game where he was sentenced to death before the game. Real Madrid, which invested hundreds of millions of euros, was determined to win at home.

But the trend of the game was a bit surprising.

Due to an injury in Xavi Alonso's training before the game, Gago replaced the Spanish midfielder and played both midfielders with Las Diarra, while Kaka, Raul, Ibrahimovic and Robben were all in the frontcourt.

But what was unexpected was that under Jerez's pressing throughout the game, Real Madrid failed to create an effective offensive within the first hour, and Gago, who served as the core of the midfield, performed even more sluggishly, which was disappointing.

In the 65th minute, Benitez replaced two players in one breath, replaced Gago with Guti and Yang Yang with Raul, determined to completely change the game trend.

And this time, the substitution quickly gained miraculous results.

In the 75th minute, Yang Yang ran in the air from the left and cut inside. After receiving a return pass from Ibrahimovic from the outside of the penalty area, he dribbled the ball all the way to the right side of the penalty area. He dribbled the ball from the left rib to the right side of the penalty area, and took a chance. He suddenly entered the penalty area and shot with his right foot.

One to zero!

This goal once again won him a lot of applause!

The entire Bernabeu was cheering his name.

Then, Yang Yang and Robben replaced the ball. After getting the ball on the right, they suddenly made a cross from the bottom. Ibrahimovic missed in front of the goal, Robben followed up from the back and pushed the shot with his left foot, 2-0!

Two minutes later, Robben forced a breakthrough on the left to create a corner kick. Guti sent a corner kick. Yang Yang jumped high from the back point, and before everyone, he headed the ball from close range and smashed the ball into Jerez's goal.

Scoring twice! Three to zero!

Then, Yang Yang successfully made a steal in the frontcourt and passed it to Ibrahimovic after getting the ball. The latter took the ball back with his back, and Kaka followed up and shot and hit it, four to zero!

In the 89th minute, Guti made a straight pass and accurately hit the penalty area. Ibrahimovic made a low shot, five to zero!

In the last twenty minutes, Real Madrid players set off an offensive frenzy on the court.

From the time when I failed to open up the situation for more than an hour, to the time when I scored five goals in the last twenty minutes, to the end, more than 80,000 fans at the entire Bernabeu Stadium stood up and cheered.

Some fans at the scene spontaneously opened a huge portrait of Yang Yang to show their love and gratitude for Yang Yang.

"From zero to zero to five to zero, Yang Yang scored twice and once again assisted. He became the most threatening superstar on the court, and also became the source of Real Madrid's frontcourt offense."

"If it wasn't clear enough before, then now, we should be able to say clearly that Yang Yang is the core competitiveness of this Real Madrid team. If you have him, just look at this game against Jerez."

"At the same time, Gago, the performance of this Argentine midfielder was disappointing. During the absence of Xavi Alonso due to injury, he did not show satisfactory strength. Instead, veteran Guti shone brightly after coming on as a substitute, as if he had regained the style of the Golden Wolf's genius midfielder."

...

When Yang Yang scored twice after playing as a substitute, a wave of offensive storm was set off at the Bernabeu, leading Real Madrid to beat Jerez by 5-0 at home, Messi also scored twice, helping Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid five-2 at the Camp Nou.

Interestingly, both of them had an assist.

After this round of matches, Real Madrid continued to lead the La Liga standings, with Barcelona following closely behind.

Yang Yang led the La Liga scorer list with five goals, with Messi and David Villa both following four goals.

Everyone also clearly saw that La Liga this season has entered a white-hot stage from the beginning.

The two superstar teams led by Yang Yang and Messi began fierce competition.

This also makes everyone more excited about the century derby this season.
