In the first show of the new season, Real Madrid beat Real Betis 8-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, getting off to a good start. This greatly boosted the team's morale and also greatly inspired Real Madrid fans.
AS reported immediately after the game that it was not only a feast of goals, but also beautiful offensive football, the kind of artistic football that Real Madrid fans dream of.
Looking at Real Madrid's eight goals, they were all very exciting, and many were even scored by exquisite teamwork.
"Even when I think about it after the game, it's amazing!"
Aspen reported that the advanced team played an offensive method that was amazing and enviable to their opponents.
"They are trying hard to try an offensive method that organically integrates the players' individual abilities into the team's overall tactics."
This is a football philosophy that is completely different from the past, from Barcelona, and even from the Spanish national team.
The advanced team defeated Real Betis through a suffocating, stormy offensive.
"After the game, Real Betis head coach Pepe Maier said that Real Madrid showed a superb football from outer space."
The 8-0 victory allowed Real Madrid to overtake Barcelona in the standings after the first round and take the top spot in the La Liga standings. This was the first time since Gao Shen coached Real Madrid.
Last season, Real Madrid had been chasing Barcelona, but this time, Real Madrid took the lead in the first round of the league.
"Barcelona only sat at the top spot for two hours before being replaced by Real Madrid."
AS reported that both Real Madrid and Barcelona are clearly aware of the importance of the start of the new season.
The two Spanish Super Cups will feature derbies of the century, which will undoubtedly have an immeasurable impact on the start of the new season for Real Madrid and Barcelona, especially considering that Martino has just arrived.
If after landing in La Liga, he loses to Real Madrid and Gaoshen in the Spanish Super Cup, this will definitely be unacceptable to Martino, who has won consecutive victories since this summer.
"You know, last season, Real Madrid beat Barcelona four times in the season!"
"This is definitely a great shame for champion Barcelona, so Barcelona still has a very important task this season, which is to defeat Real Madrid in the El Clasico."
For this reason, after having top stars such as Messi, Sanchez, Aguero, Pedro and Cesc Fabregas, Barcelona continued to sign Neymar at a sky-high price and created an amazing offensive formation.
"The most important task for Martino and his team right now is to escape unscathed at the Bernabeu Stadium, but this is not easy."
Aspen analyzed Gao Shen's remarks at the post-match press conference and believed that Gao Shen had been preparing for the Spanish Super Cup and the game against Barcelona.
"Gao Shen has always said that he is the most familiar coach in the world and the best at playing Barcelona."
"That's certainly true because his record against Barcelona is amazing."
"Barcelona wants to reverse its embarrassing record against Gao Shen. From Rijkaard to Guardiola to Vilanova, Barcelona has never been able to escape the shadow of Gao Shen. Now it places all its hopes on Martino.
On the body."
"The battle at the Bernabeu three days later is destined to be not only the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, but also a championship battle!"
…
If Aspen's report focuses more on the overall situation, then Marca's report goes more into the individual Real Madrid players.
For example, Isco was voted the best player of the match.
This native Spanish player has impressed with his stunning performance since his debut, but has also caused a lot of controversy.
People who like him admire his skills, but people who don't like him think he is too sticky.
This controversy reached a whole new level after joining Real Madrid last season.
But Gao Shen has always been protecting Isco. Regardless of Isco's performance, Gao Shen's attitude towards him is very clear.
Under the pressure of the team, coupled with the poor results after trying to play on the wing, Isco failed to get more opportunities last season, and even Kaká performed better than Isco.
But this summer, Isco performed particularly hard and showed his best training attitude, which earned him the opportunity to start in the first round of the new season.
"In this game, Gao Shen only arranged three main players from last season: Courtois, Ramos and Ronaldo. The rest include Marcos Alonso, Nacho, Varane, Ka
Semiro and Isco were all rotation and substitute players last season."
"Not to mention Dzeko and Pogba, two new players who have just arrived."
But even with such a vigorous rotation of the team, Real Madrid was still able to score a crazy 8-0 victory at home, which shocked everyone.
Marca analyzed that this is of course because Real Betis did not retreat at the tactical level.
"Pepe Meir is trying to prove that his team can conquer the Bernabeu."
But as a result, Real Betis suffered a humiliating defeat.
But the most important thing is Real Madrid's overall outstanding performance.
"Isco was elected the best player after the game. Needless to say, the performance of new aid Pogba was not inferior to Isco at all, especially in the team's first two goals.
played a key role.”
"He proved his worth at the Bernabeu!"
"And Dzeko, scoring twice is the best affirmation for the Bosnia and Herzegovina center. After his decline at Tottenham Hotspur, people can once again see his killer qualities when he was at Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga!"
"Young players such as Verratti, Marcos Alonso, Nacho, Casemiro, Varane, Morata and Jese are all amazing. Real Madrid has unknowingly possessed
An outstanding group of young talents.”
Marca believes that this group of young players will definitely become a valuable asset to Real Madrid.
"The truth is, all of us underestimated what Gao Shen did for Real Madrid last season."
"I still remember that when Gao Shen first took over Real Madrid in the summer of 2012, he concluded that Real Madrid last season would be a team with great potential. I believe at that time, no one would have thought that what Gao Shen wanted to do was to promote
A bunch of young Real Madrid players."
At that time, everyone felt that Gao Shen said this because he wanted more time to run into the team.
"It was not until the second half of the game that we were surprised to find that this group of young players from Real Madrid began to gain a foothold. They began to get more opportunities and began to continuously improve their strength. We were all surprised at the time."
"But this summer, on the night against Real Betis, we had to be shocked to find that these Real Madrid players have the ability to take on the main responsibility of the team on their own!"
"In the past, we envied Barcelona. They had a group of outstanding young players and played beautiful offensive football. But now, it is Barcelona's turn to envy us!"
Marca believes that the epic victory against Real Betis is more than just three points for Real Madrid.
"It's more of a declaration!"
"It tells all opponents and all fans that the strongest Real Madrid has arrived!"
…
When Real Madrid defeated Real Betis with a huge score and overtook Barcelona to reach the top of the standings, the Catalan media seemed very sour.
It was also a big score, but Barcelona scored one less goal than Real Madrid. But if the media really wants to brag about it, they can always find an angle.
For example, Daily Sports believes that the reason why Barcelona scored one less goal than Real Madrid is because Barcelona kept their strength in the second half. Barcelona already led 6-0 in the first half, but obviously relaxed their offensive in the second half.
"If Barcelona puts their best efforts, they can score more goals in the second half."
But Daily Sports never mentioned that Real Madrid only played three main players in total, and the others were all young players on rotation and substitutes. In contrast, Barcelona used all their main players.
In order to make his debut at Camp Nou, Martino put in a lot of effort and capital.
This is the case for the Barcelona media, adhering to the media's fine tradition of "not telling the whole truth", and severely criticized Real Madrid.
Finally, Daily Sports even believed that from the perspective of the game process, Barcelona performed better than Real Madrid, especially during the team's offensive process, Barcelona played very smoothly.
The frontcourt cooperation of Neymar, Messi, Aguero, Sanchez and other stars is even more of an art.
"This is the most fantastic Barcelona ever!"
Daily Sports also quoted Barcelona head coach Martino's remarks after the game, believing that Barcelona's offense has been formed, and as the players become more and more understanding, Barcelona can exert more powerful offensive firepower.
"Today, the biggest problem for the team is the third forward."
"Who can form a front three with Messi and Neymar? This will be the primary issue Martino faces."
But Daily Sports concluded that this is a happy trouble, because whether it is Sanchez, Aguero or Fabregas, they all performed well under Martino.
Barcelona mouthpieces even believe that Martino is like a combination of Guardiola and Vilanova, inheriting the advantages of the two previous Barcelona coaches while also making up for Barcelona's shortcomings and weaknesses.
"This gives us absolutely reason to expect that Martino and his team will bring us unexpected surprises at the Bernabeu Stadium!"
Not only Daily Sports, but also Mundo Deportivo gave high praise to Martino's Barcelona's performance in this big victory, while brushing off Real Madrid's victory and even criticizing it in every possible way.
This is also very normal and in line with the consistent attitude of the Barcelona media towards Real Madrid.
In turn, the Real Madrid media treat Barcelona in the same way.
This is more like a propaganda war between the two factions, mainly to incite the emotions of fans on both sides, warm up the upcoming Bernabeu battle, and also to build momentum for the teams they support.
However, the media and fans outside are making a fuss, but as the protagonist, Gao Shen is more focused on preparing for the game in Valdebebas.
At the Gamber Sports City in Barcelona, Martino was also intensively studying how to deal with Gao Shen.
