Chapter 404
When someone comes, someone goes.
No matter how the world changes, time will not stop because of a person's departure. Although the sadness of parting is always lingering, life must continue.
After the emotions of sadness and sorrow have gradually subsided, the pace of the new season is imminent.
For Villarreal, the departure of the old captain is something that makes the players extremely sad and reluctant, but for the entire Iberian Peninsula, this seems insignificant.
The world of football is like this. Every season, every year, there are young stars emerging, which make people shine and amazed. There are also veterans who bid farewell to the mainstream league, or choose to retire, or go to The low-level leagues hang out for the elderly.
People have long been used to such parting.
The most important point is that Jose Josico is not a world-renowned superstar, let alone a superstar, even a star is very reluctant. In his entire career, there are only a handful of bright spots. His hard work It just makes the people in the small town feel nostalgic and reluctant. As for the fans in other cities, who knows who he is?
In a unique atmosphere, August 8 finally arrived as scheduled.
The 29th is the moment when the new league season kicks off. On this day, there will only be one game, and that is the appearance of last season's league champion Real Madrid. This is a unique treatment for defending champions. It is another A profound honor.
Real Madrid's first opponent in the league is the newly promoted Numancia, who had a warm-up match with Villarreal a few days ago at the Love Song Stadium.
It is also an old tradition in La Liga that the defending champion and the newly promoted team will serve as the opening team of the new season at the same time.
Such an arrangement is actually very unfair to the newly promoted team. A team that has just been promoted from the second division probably has not even figured out the situation, let alone adapt to the rhythm of the top league. Team, the result is obvious. Under normal circumstances, the word "tragedy" can describe it.
Because they have played against Numancia, Villarreal also has a certain understanding of this new team in the league. In addition to enhancing the team's bench strength, the consequences of this come also have some negative consequences, that is, the team's running-in is very problematic.Although they were very active in the warm-up match a few days ago, and they dared to fight and fight, but the overall teamwork was very average, not to mention a mess, but not far behind.
For such a team, meeting the absent-minded Villarreal is a dead end, let alone a super battleship like Real Madrid.
But as the old saying goes, football is round and anything is possible.
All Villarreal players watched the live broadcast of the game in the club's conference room. From the first minute of the whole game, Real Madrid, who were playing at home, took the absolute initiative on the field. Mancia was beaten by the repeated bombardment of the Galaxy Battleship and could only shrink back in his own half, unable to even get out of the 1-meter area.
But it is precisely because of this that countless defensive players have piled up in the backcourt, and the space is small. The Real Madrid stars are a little bit unable to use their hands and feet. Embarrassingly, only one draw was gained.
Numancia is also a chicken thief. Their original plan for this game was to focus on defensive counterattacks. As a result, seeing Real Madrid's continuous offensive posture, they should not counterattack at all. Almost all the players stayed in the midfield, crazily intercepting and blocking the holes.
Iron barrel formation and bus placement are extremely troublesome problems for any strong team.And like Numancia, you don't want to be strict with anything, just sticking to it for the sake of sticking to it, which is even more disgusting.
Fan Bizhuang laughed when he saw it: "The head coach of Numancia is really a great talent who pursues pragmatism. He probably got inspiration from the game against us, knowing that no matter what he thinks, he can't compete with the rich The strong team is fighting hard, so let’s just treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, keep it up! Anyway, one person who is suffocated to death counts as one, and whoever is suffocated to death is unlucky!”
The teammates also nodded in agreement with sympathy, the iron barrel formation, the bus and so on are the most annoying, but there is nothing you can do about it. If others want to do this, what can you do, you can only hope for your luck Good enough to get away with scoring a goal, otherwise there is a real possibility of being suffocated.
Recall that if Numancia had done the same in the warm-up match a few days ago, it is estimated that the old captain's farewell match would be disgusting.
But then again, Numancia may have also gotten inspiration from that game, or learned a lesson. Last season's league runners-up were all ravaged when they were out of their wits. If they were to be the more powerful league champions, they would have no confidence.
So, no matter how you do it, you will die. It is better to stick to it. What if you are lucky and get a point?Don't underestimate a draw or a point. As a newly promoted team, most of the goals of the season are to fight for relegation. Maybe it is such a point that seems insignificant now, but after the end of the season, it can save the team. The team remained in the top league safely.
Regardless of how Villarreal's players felt, the live televised game continued.
In the second half, Numancia thoroughly interpreted the phrase "carry out the bus to the end". Throughout the second half, the visiting team hardly organized a decent offensive, and even a shot within the range of the goal frame failed. No.In addition to sticking to it, stick to it.
This disgusted all the Real Madrid stars and more than 8 fans at the scene. The Bernabéu stadium can be said to be full of boos and debris, but Numancia ignored it completely and continued to go its own way.
And Real Madrid's luck is also very average. They had a total of 23 kicks in the game, [-] of which were within the range of the goal frame.From the data point of view, this is almost a shooting exhibition game of Real Madrid stars, but what is depressing is that so many shots have not been scored.
The closest shot was a shot from Real Madrid captain Raul outside the penalty area. The football bypassed the dense defensive crowd and the goalkeeper, but it was blocked by the pillars of his own stadium. The difference is even more frustrating.
The final result of the La Liga opening game was a surprising 0:0. The powerful defending champion of the league was tied by the newly promoted Numancia. Although this process really made people who watched the game speechless, but It is a fact that they failed to score all three points. The world of football is sometimes result-oriented. Most people do not pay attention to the process, but only to the result.
On the second day of the game, Real Madrid suffered a lot of media bombardment.
"The defending champions lost their passion and blood in the beautiful summer vacation, and they haven't entered the rhythm of the league yet!"
"A disappointing game, the reasonable three points turned into one, Real Madrid got off to a bad start!"
"The defending champions have nothing to do in the face of the newly promoted iron barrel team. They have to reflect on themselves. Not every opponent will attack you and expose their weaknesses to others! The road to defending the Galaxy Battleship has been covered from the beginning. shadow!"
"They need to adjust their status as soon as possible. The league has started and the battle has begun. If they want to make a breakthrough in the new season, Real Madrid must pay more!"
Faced with such public opinion, Juande Ramos, who replaced German Schuster as the new head coach of Real Madrid in the new season, publicly spoke at the press conference after the game, praising the team's performance and bombarding Numan at the same time. West Asia: "We have no problem. For the new season, we are fully prepared. It's just that things in the world are like this. You won't get a satisfactory result just because you are ready. In this regard, I think To some teams, your actions are an insult to football!"
Ramos publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Numancia, who was swaying the bus, and also responded to media and fans' doubts about the team. He said that the league is a long process, and the result of a game does not mean What, they will make all opponents feel the strength of Real Madrid in the future.
In response to the remarks made by the Real Madrid coach, another team in Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid's natural rival, also made their voices. Atletico Madrid's new coach Abel Resino said in a mocking tone : "Real Madrid does not represent this historic city. They are helpless in the face of iron barrels. It does not mean that everyone has no way. I think if we encounter such a situation, we will make the best solution. method, because we have made the best preparations for the new season."
The relationship between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid is well known. Anyway, the two clubs have never dealt with each other. I am naturally happy when you are upset, and I will come to add insult to injury when you are not in good condition. Therefore, I mocked Resino unabashedly, No one is surprised.
Surprisingly, Josep Guardiola, who succeeded Rijkaard as the head coach of Barcelona this summer, also jumped out to join in the fun after the first game in the league.
"Many people call Real Madrid and Barcelona the two top giants in La Liga, but what I want to say is that Real Madrid is Real Madrid, and Barcelona is Barcelona. We are different from them. The defending champion was promoted in the league opener. A temperless draw, that was a shocking thing. If it was us, of course, just if, I think we would have made a fantastic start to the league!"
Guardiola's remarks are all referring to a fact in the open and in the dark. Don't compare Real Madrid with us. We can't afford to lose that person. Real Madrid can't win, but we will definitely win. Even if Real Madrid is the defending champion. How, they are still inferior to us!
Last year, three of the top four teams in the league made their voices heard. The trend of war of words develops.
Of course, there are still many people waiting for Villarreal to speak. Anyway, they were also a member of the top four in the league last year. The other three clubs have spoken. Don’t you say something? Also come to brush up the sense of presence?
The league has just started, and there are only two teams that have played games. It can be said that the atmosphere of the league has not yet improved, but the atmosphere of quarrels has emerged.
However, it has nothing to do with Villarreal being quarreled by others. Villarreal did not respond violently to this.
Coach Manuel Pellegrini just calmly agreed with Juande Ramos' words in front of the camera: "The league is a long process, so we will only prepare silently and work hard for it."
The meaning in the words is to show that Ramos is right, but we are not Real Madrid either. We are full of confidence in winning the first game of the new season.
