The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 447 Spanish Super Cup
The game that Real Madrid officially debuts in the new season is the Spanish Super Cup.As the league champion, against last season's Copa del Rey champion Sevilla.

It's Seville again.

Ricardo still clearly remembers that the first official game he played in Real Madrid was against Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup.

It's really a fate with Seville.

The Spanish Super Cup will feature two legs, with the first leg at Seville's Estadio Pizjuan.

On the evening of August 8, when Real Madrid soldiers set foot in Pisjuan, they thought they were sure of winning.

Although Pellegrini took office not long ago and has not had time to make a complete transformation of the team, the strength of Real Madrid is much stronger than that of Sevilla.

Sevilla has the Brazilian gang, but they are the marginal players of the national team Alves, Renato and Fabiano.

Real Madrid also has a Brazilian gang, but it is the core of Brazil, the main force, Ronaldo, Ricardo, Kaka, Baptista.

Not an order of magnitude at all!

Before the game, the media also predicted that Real Madrid would win by a big score.

But only 2 minutes into the game, Sevilla kicked off the attack with Duda's free kick and Fabiano's close shot.The home team clearly has an advantage on the field, and the sequelae caused by Real Madrid's coaching change are fully exposed.

In today's game, Pellegrini used a 4231 formation, with Ricardo as the left winger, Guti as the midfielder, Kaka as the right winger, Ronaldo forward, and Diarra and Gago partnering in midfield.New aid Pepe was also able to play. He and Cannavaro partnered in the center back, and Ramos returned to the position of right back.

Although only one new aid, Pepe, has played, the team's tactical play is completely different from last season, and the requirements for players in various positions are also different. The players seem to be unable to adapt.

Moreover, Ricardo and Kaka have not yet recovered from the fatigue of the America's Cup, and Ronaldo has gained a few kilograms during the holidays and has not recovered to his best condition... The team is not running smoothly.

Sevilla's lineup remained basically intact, and the head coach did not change, so they completely suppressed the visiting team on the scene.They used a defensive formation of 3511 and completely controlled the midfield in the first 20 minutes of the game, preventing Real Madrid from attacking the frontcourt.

In the 26th minute of the game, Sevilla player Duda dribbled the ball into Real Madrid's penalty area and was tripped by Ramos who was chasing back.The referee immediately awarded a penalty kick!

Fabiano took the penalty, tricked Iker Casillas into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Sevilla leads 1:0.

The lagging Real Madrid woke up like a dream, began to strengthen the control of the midfield, and got some good offensive opportunities.

But Ricardo's free kick hit the wall, and then his own shot also slipped out; in the 36th minute, Ricardo sent Ronaldo a wonderful through ball, Ronaldo shook Seville Ya goalkeeper Palop, but he pushed the empty goal but was rejected by the post.

In stoppage time of the first half, Real Madrid still had a chance to tie the score. Ricardo dribbled the ball inside and broke into the penalty area. After attracting three defenders, he pushed the ball to Kaka at the back. However, Kaka's The strong shot was pulled out of the bottom line by Palop with his fingertips.

Real Madrid had to go into the intermission in embarrassment.

"Ronnie, you have too few running positions. If you still want to stay on the field, I hope you can run more actively in the second half." Although Pellegrini's voice was very gentle, it was clearly a criticism.

The friends were all shocked.In front of so many people, criticize the active football champion, the team's number one star?Are you out of your mind?

The smile on Ronaldo's face disappeared, he opened his mouth, and was about to push back when Ricardo grabbed him.

Ronaldo looked back, and Ricardo said silently with his mouth: "Forget it, Ronnie."

Pellegrini seemed completely unaware that Ronaldo almost exploded, and pointed his gun at Ricardo again: "I remember I asked you to return to defense more actively, but you did not meet my requirements. Is there any difficulty in understanding what I said?" ? If you can't do it, I can replace someone else who can."

Licado lowered his head.For the sake of grades, I endure.

Pellegrini didn't criticize the team too much, just blaming the two most prestigious players in the team.

The Spanish Super Cup is an honor if you want to say it, but seriously, these are just two advanced warm-up matches.

If you can find the problem and find an idea to solve the problem, the two rounds will be worth it.

However, if you can win and bring home the trophy, that is of course even better.

At the beginning of the second half, Pellegrini replaced Gago and replaced Baptista.Now there are 4 Brazilian players on the field, and he hopes that the tacit understanding between the Brazilian gang can surprise him.He also watched the Copa America match, and he was very impressed by the cooperation between Baptista, Kaka and Ricardo.

Baptista's appearance has indeed changed Real Madrid's midfield situation.Sevilla gradually lost control, the two sides became evenly matched in the midfield, and the advantage of Real Madrid's attacking power in the frontcourt began to be highlighted.

In the 51st minute, Baptista found Kaka with a long pass. After Kaka dribbled the ball to the bottom at high speed, he knocked the ball back to Ramos. Ramos immediately took the ball and passed it to the penalty area.Ronaldo snatched the ball forward with a chest stop, turned around and played, and the football hit the side net.

Two minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback. This time the attack was initiated from the left. Ricardo dribbled the ball in and cut past the two and stuffed the ball into the left space of the small penalty area.

Ronaldo jumped in at high speed and grabbed the ball between the defenders. He quickly adjusted his posture and shot with his left foot. The football passed Palop's fingertips and rolled into the far corner of the goal.

1:1, Real Madrid equalized the score.

Sevilla quickly made adjustments, replaced Renato with Demur, played a 352 formation, and strengthened the offense.

Pellegrini also adjusted again, replacing the mediocre Kaka with Robben.

Neither of these two substitutions played a big role, and the two sides fell into a tug of war.

In the 71st minute of the game, Real Madrid won a free kick 23 meters from the goal.

This time Ricardo seized the opportunity, his shot bypassed the wall, also bypassed Palop's arm, and crashed into the goal.Real Madrid overtook the score.

Then Pellegrini used Saviola to replace Riccardo, who was a little weak, and used up 3 substitutions.

Sevilla, who played at home, then made consecutive substitutions. Maresca replaced Navas, Diego replaced Duda, and launched a more violent offensive, but Real Madrid's defense performed well today, especially Pepe, his looting was very fierce, destroying Sevilla's offensive time and time again.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated their opponents 2:1 away and took the lead.
