Chapter 495 It’s Hard to Win in the New Season

When taking family photos in the new season, a total of 28 players received the jersey numbers of Real Madrid's first team, including teenagers.

But from the day the family photo was taken, many strange things happened, indicating that Real Madrid's new season will not go well. Sure enough, Real Madrid found it difficult to win in the next three games.

After playing AC Milan in New York, Real Madrid played the last warm-up match of their training trip to the United States at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia four days later.

In the game, Real Madrid defeated the Scottish Premier League champions Celtic 2:0 in a very boring way. Callejon and Benzema scored goals. The only stunt in the game was that Varane beat Celtic during the header. Midfielder Dylan fainted from the impact and was taken to the hospital by ambulance on the spot.

Real Madrid ended the U.S. training camp with a victory in four games, scoring 17 goals and conceding only two goals in four games. This record is the most eye-catching statistic among all teams training in the United States. Although there were not many warm-up games, victory is always satisfying, and Real Madrid returned to Madrid with joy.

After returning from the United States, the new season has truly entered. As usual, Real Madrid took a family photo from the 2012-13 season.

The people who left have left, and new players have not yet been introduced. The 28 old faces are still the same. Even if they are familiar faces, the 50 people including the coaching staff and management staff are all lined up neatly, but they are all old people.

However, the photoshoot was not smooth from the beginning. The club’s official photographer actually broke his camera, and everyone’s eggplant expression was wasted for a long time.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the photographer hurried over again with a new camera, sweating profusely. Such a thing has never happened in the history of Real Madrid family portraits.

Then there are all kinds of eyes closed. No matter how many reminders are given, someone will always fail to live up to the expectations after the filming. This tossing lasts for more than half an hour. It wasn't until assistant coach Aito Karanka said, 'If it's really not working anymore, we can retouch the picture,' the unlucky photographer gave up.

.

In the new season, La Liga did not encounter anything like last year's players' strike to demand wages, so it can be considered a smooth start.

The first round of matches starts on August 20. Real Madrid will play four games in a row in the last 10 days of August, three of which are against their powerful rival Valencia.

Four games, two La Liga games and two Spanish Super Cups, Valencia was the Copa del Rey champion last season.

Mourinho's team always has the habit of slowing down the season. In the history of Mourinho's coaching, the winning rate in the first game of the season is not high. In the first round, they faced the Bats at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid continued this characteristic.

Before the game started, Yacoue, who represented Spain at the just-concluded Olympic Games and won the silver medal in women's taekwondo, kicked off the ball wearing high heels. She looked very awkward. Zhuo Yang felt that it would be better to just put on training clothes to look more heroic.

In the 10th minute of the game, Zhuo Yang passed the ball overhead in the frontcourt. Higuain went offside and entered the penalty area. Facing the attacking Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves, he volleyed the ball. save.

Higuain took the ball and shot again, and kicked Alves in the face.

Higuain shot again and finally broke through the goal. Real Madrid led 1:0.

Cristiano Ronaldo is very active and he always spares no effort on the court. In the 41st minute, Ronaldo counterattacked on the left side of the backcourt, knocked down Argentinian Pablo Piatti with kicks and hits, and gave Valencia a free kick.

After Tino Costa lifted the football cross into the penalty area, four people gathered together and competed for the top at the same time.

Coentrao is at the front, and behind him is Brazilian striker Jonas. Casillas went out behind Jonas to pick up the ball, and at the end was Pepe who jumped like a tiger.

Coentrao failed to reach the ball, and Casillas did not pick up the moon. Pepe hit Casillas on the temple, and the football was tossed by Jonas and broke the net.

Casillas lay on the ground and fainted, Pepe had blood on his forehead, and the score was 1:1.

The game was paused for 8 minutes before restarting, but Cassie was fine. Everyone shook him and he woke up on his own. Pepe is even more rough-skinned and fleshy, and she just wipes it off as if nothing is wrong.

After insisting on persisting until the end of the first half, Pepe was replaced by Dirty Dancing.

1:1 was also the overall score. Cristiano Ronaldo accounted for 12 of Real Madrid's shots, Zhuo Yang also had 5 shots, and the Valencia team only had 4 shots.

After the game, Mourinho gave the man of the match award to Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves, and there was no dispute about this.

Next, the two sides moved to the Mestalla Stadium to start the first round of the Spanish Super Cup.

Maybe it was because they shot too much four days ago. Real Madrid didn't even have a shot in the first half of this game. This phenomenon is very strange. It’s not that everyone deliberately holds back their ejaculation, but that they seem to have forgotten about it.

Fortunately, the defense was well organized and it was 0:0 in the first half.

In the 54th minute, Real Madrid finally had its first attack of the game. Di Maria broke through and created a corner kick. After Kaka took the kick, Ronaldo beat Feguli from the front point and broke the net with a header. It was a success for the first time and Real Madrid led 1:0.

But just three minutes later, Valencia retaliated. Jonas sent a direct pass from the midfielder. Soldado, who was suspected of being offside, stepped in from the right side of the penalty area and shot the far corner with his right foot from a small angle. 1: 1.

Subsequently, Jonas and Piatti scored two goals in the first minute, turning the score into 3:1.

Zhuoyang has been pushed to the forward line by Mourinho, but today Barron behaved like Barcelona.

The 8th player grabbed the Barron defender one by one. Pereira hurriedly passed the football back to goalkeeper Diego Alves, and Zhuo Yang jumped in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Alves tried to shake Zhuoyang away with a fake move, but it was obviously unnecessary. After a physical collision with Zhuoyang, the ball was lost and the man fell. Zhuoyang nudged the empty goal, making the score 2:3, leaving more possibilities and opportunities for the next round.

Before August even went out, Real Madrid suffered its first defeat of the new season. This is indeed not a happy thing. But misfortunes never come singly, and sap attacks followed one after another.

Three days after their first defeat, Real Madrid suffered the biggest upset in the five major leagues in August at the Alfonso Pérez Stadium in Madrid. In the second round of La Liga, they lost 1:2 away to their younger brother Getafe.

There are a lot of famous attackers, but only Higuain scored in the two league rounds. With only one point in two games, Real Madrid's performance at the start of the new season is that of a standard relegation team, let alone compared with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which have won both games.

It is difficult to win one of three games. Mourinho boasted in the media a few days ago: Real Madrid will strive for the Champions League in the new season. The words came true, and indeed they suffered all the way in the league and domestic cup competitions.

Externally, Mourinho blamed the scorching hot weather in Spain this year for the unlucky streak. Internally, Mourinho was furious, banging the table in the locker room and shouting that he wanted to change the main lineup.
