The new season of La Liga has completely subverted the imagination of the outside world.
No one would have thought that after undergoing a large-scale purge and reorganization, Real Madrid under the leadership of Schuster would be able to top La Liga with a record of three consecutive victories, scoring ten goals and conceding two goals.
What is even more unexpected is that after the introduction of Henry, Barcelona, which was obviously stronger than before, suffered a poor record of one win and two draws at the beginning, especially those two games which were zero to zero, which seemed particularly shocking.
Both games are away games, against Racing Santander and Osasuna.
In previous years, these two teams were obviously not within the range of Barcelona's opponents, but now, Barcelona, which seems to be full of stars and has a strong lineup, has encountered the embarrassment of zero to zero in the away game.
La Liga has just started three rounds, and Barcelona is already four points behind Real Madrid.
The Catalan media are very dissatisfied with the current performance of the team, especially the stars in the team
Daily Sports even publicly criticized Barcelona's management, coaching staff and players directly in the newspaper, believing that their performance at the beginning of this season did not look like they would be able to compete for the league championship. After the bombardment, they
He even said such cruel words with all his heart.
"If Su Dong was still on the team, Barcelona would never have fallen into this situation!"
This report by Daily Sports caused an uproar in Catalonia. Barcelona Vice Chairman Bartomeu publicly stood up and criticized Daily Sports, believing that their remarks were irresponsible.
Who says it's not?
Let's talk about Barcelona's problems properly. Whether you criticize or criticize, we have tolerated it. Why are you mentioning Su Dong?
Is it fun to expose people’s scars for no reason?
Regarding the current situation in Barcelona, Cruyff publicly criticized the team management in his column, believing that their failed transfer decision was the main reason for the team's current predicament and someone must be held responsible.
The godfather of Barcelona has never been in the same pot as Rosell. He directly stated in his column that the introduction of Eto'o and Henry cannot make up for Sudong's role in Barcelona, not only on the court, but also in the locker room.
"Look at his performance in the Bundesliga. He scored 14 goals in five league games. Even in La Liga, at a 50% discount, he could still score seven goals and help Barcelona defeat Racing Santander and Osasu.
There is no problem with a team like Nana."
"But some people forced him out of Camp Nou!"
"Everyone who participated in forcing Su Dong away is Barcelona's sinner!"
Cruyff's bombardment once again aroused heated discussion, especially in his column, he once again raised his dissatisfaction with many Brazilian players in the team. Ronaldinho and Deco often hang out in nightclubs. These tidbits
In the past period of time, it has been continuously exposed by the media.
All signs indicate that Barcelona no longer protects Ronaldinho and Deco.
…
In complete contrast to Barcelona's poor start, Real Madrid's start was off the charts.
In the league debut, they defeated local rival Atletico Madrid 2-1 at home. In the second round, they beat Villarreal 5-0 away from home. In the third round, they defeated Almeria 3-1 at home.
In the three games, each game was played very excitingly and each game was won.
Schuster also relied on this three-game winning streak to secure his position as Real Madrid coach. Dutch midfielder Sneijder also won the recognition of Real Madrid fans with his eye-catching performance at the beginning.
With three consecutive wins in the beginning, Real Madrid swept away the decline of previous years and led the standings. German coach Schuster was also very high-spirited, especially since he not only won, but also fulfilled his promise to lead Real Madrid to play well.
The promise of football.
Now, he has fulfilled this promise, especially the 5-0 away victory over Villarreal, which earned him all the applause, and Schuster has gained confidence.
Before the game against Bayern, Schuster said in an interview with the media that as a head coach, he has never won any honors and he hopes to lead Real Madrid to a new breakthrough.
Regarding the La Liga championship situation this season, Schuster made it clear that Barcelona is no longer Real Madrid's opponent.
"Although the league has only played three rounds, the situation is already relatively clear. Our biggest competitor on the road to defending the title will be Sevilla. Their tactics are already very mature. We still need to work hard on this point."
"Of course, Barcelona is also a strong enemy that cannot be ignored."
That's it?
That's it!
The Catalan media reacted very fiercely to this, believing that Schuster had completely ignored Barcelona.
Who can you blame?
Isn’t it because Barcelona themselves are not up to par?
Not only was he not playing well on the court, there were serious divisions within the management team, and there were also various problems in the locker room. Who can be blamed?
Even Mundo Deportivo was very dissatisfied with Schuster's remarks, believing that he has become a little arrogant because of his three consecutive victories. This is a taboo for a wealthy coach who is about to usher in a peak showdown.
"In the middle of the week, at the Bernabeu, Su Dong will teach you a lesson!" World Sports reported with harsh words.
But Aspen quickly hit back, "Su Dong? He is a Bayern player, what does it have to do with you? If I remember correctly, it was you who forced him away at the beginning. Maybe he will come to Real Madrid if there is an opportunity in the future.
Play football, but I will never return to Barcelona!"
The two major mouthpieces were talking nonsense, and Schuster was not idle either.
The match against Bayern is indeed a key game that cannot be underestimated, but Schuster is very confident after the team won three consecutive victories and said that the team has the strength to defeat Bayern at the Bernabeu.
"Yes, they performed very well in the Bundesliga, but we performed equally well in La Liga."
Bayern has won five consecutive games and Real Madrid has won three consecutive games. Both teams have played sharp offense and have also encountered strong teams. Among them, Real Madrid's schedule is more cruel. In three games, they have encountered Atletico Madrid and Pele.
A powerful opponent like Yarrell.
Schuster does have reason to believe that Real Madrid's performance is not inferior to Bayern at all.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But as a German, Schuster also knows the strength of Bayern and the characteristics of the German team, so he is also reminding the players that they must do what they must do when facing Bayern.
So ready to fight hard.
"This will be a crucial and difficult game!"
As for Su Dong, Schuster said that he had found a way to restrain him.
"Metzelder is the most ideal defensive player to freeze Sudong. They have close height and physical confrontation. At the same time, we also have Cannavaro. The combination of these two central defenders is very complementary and will be the team's strength this season.
The most important defensive force."
In terms of formation, Real Madrid will continue to use a four-four-two forward formation, with Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy continuing to partner.
In the midfield, Gago will play deep, with Sneijder, Guti and Higuain in the middle, and the defense will be a combination of Heinze, Metzelder, Cannavaro and Ramos.
This is also the main lineup that has led to Real Madrid's three consecutive victories in the past three rounds. Schuster will continue to use this style of play.
In addition, Aspen also mentioned that the game against Bayern will be the 300th Champions League game in Real Madrid's history.
This also further aroused the expectations of Bernabeu fans.

After arriving in Madrid, Bayern checked directly into the hotel.
The next morning, after the team had breakfast together, Heynckes held the last tactical meeting before the game in the hotel conference room. The main content was to analyze Real Madrid.
Heynckes said that he repeatedly watched the first three games of Real Madrid this season. Although the sample is not large, it still has reference value. That is, both Atletico Madrid and Almeria adopted full-time tight measures against Real Madrid.
Force tactics, which makes Real Madrid very uncomfortable.
In the game against Villarreal, the most important thing was that the Yellow Submarine gave Real Madrid too much offensive space. To put it simply, Pellegrini's team played too unrestrainedly.
If you are not as strong as Real Madrid, you just hold back and play a little bit. If your skills are not as good as others, you still fight with others?
Isn’t this seeking death?
"Everyone, take a look at this data."
Heynckes listed a PPT, which shows the number of times Real Madrid was shot by opponents in three games. Atletico Madrid had 21 shots, Villarreal had the most, reaching 23 times, and Almeria also had the most.
Twenty-one times.
"Judging from the score, Real Madrid did perform quite well, but from the performance of the game and various game data, it is not difficult to see that Real Madrid's problem is still very serious. They gave their opponents too many shots."
Heynckes explained the reason, which is that Schuster has a completely different mission from Capello.
Why did Capello get out of class?
Because he didn't play well!
Win games and championships, but if you play so conservatively, Real Madrid won't be able to tolerate you, and you will have to be fired!
Since Schuster took office, he has been on a mission, that is, Real Madrid must not only win, but also win beautifully.
Capello's conservative tactics could no longer be used, so Gago began to serve as a single defensive midfielder, with Guti and Sneijder teaming up, plus Raul, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Higuain, Real Madrid's front line
The field is filled with attacking players.
With the strength of Real Madrid's players, this attack power has indeed improved a lot, but the defense and interception in the midfield are also weak, so this contradictory situation arises.
On the one hand, Real Madrid's offensive is overwhelming, but on the other hand, Real Madrid's number of shots by its opponents has also hit new highs.
Even a team like Almeria was able to get 21 shots, so you can imagine how permeable Real Madrid's defense was.
When Heynckes analyzed this, all the Bayern players in the conference room laughed and suddenly felt much more relaxed. They all began to know clearly how to deal with Real Madrid.
"Suppress them in the midfield and frontcourt, steal the ball and quickly counterattack, directly destroying their defense, and leaving them with an unforgettable defeat!" Heynckes laughed.
As Bayern's results get better and better, Mr. Hai's confidence becomes stronger and stronger.
He now begins to believe that many of his ideas can be implemented, and they have been realized on this Bayern team.
The head coach is well-founded and convincing, and the players basically agree with it.
When everyone in the dressing room reached a consensus, that was Bayern's weapon against Real Madrid.
When they walked out of the meeting room, every Bayern player's face was filled with anticipation and eagerness to try.
