Real Madrid eventually beat Switzerland's Zurich 5-2 away to claim their first Champions League group stage victory.

In the final moments of stoppage time, Raul scored another goal for Real Madrid.

It stands to reason that the outside world should be appreciating the big away win in the Champions League, but in fact it is the complete opposite, and the Spanish media are not satisfied with Real Madrid's performance after the game.

According to the Spanish public newspaper, this is a deceptive victory, and the ABC newspaper has also publicly stated that Real Madrid has covered up many of its problems and weaknesses with sharp attacks, which will expose Real Madrid's Achilles' heel in the face of stronger opponents.

Without exception, they all pointed the finger at Real Madrid's defense.

From a 3-0 in the first half to a precarious 3-2 in the ensuing game, Real Madrid played dangerously and, even more unbelievably, the two goals conceded occurred in just three minutes.

One was a one-on-one counter-attack, and Casillas was forced to abandon the goal for a foul, and another was a corner kick defense leakage.

Spanish newspaper El País also analyzed that Real Madrid's defensive weakness was not exposed until this game, as early as the first round of Deportivo La Coruna, although the team beat the opponent 4-0, but the problem at the defensive end is still very serious, and Deportivo was given many chances in the game.

Subsequently, whether it is against Espanyol or this time away to Zurich, the problem exposed by Real Madrid is very obvious, that is, the team's old problems in the defensive end.

"This is an old problem that has plagued Real Madrid for almost a decade!" The newspaper El País argues.

The last time the royal horse was reassuring, it should have been back two thousand years, or even earlier.

At that time, after Bosque took office, he changed the attacking football of Real Madrid in the past and adopted a more secure back five.

At the beginning, Bosque's style of play was met with a lot of criticism and accusations, and criticism such as conservative was loud because this kind of conservative football is not allowed in Real Madrid.

But later, with the steady improvement of the team's performance, especially in the Champions League, Bosque relied on this set of five defenders to bring Real Madrid to the Champions League final, and defeated Cooper's Valencia 3-0 in the final.

Bosque has become the most successful firefighting coach in Real Madrid's history with this Champions League, and Elgra, who originally played at the back, has also been transformed into a central defender after this season, which has become a great story.

But then, Real Madrid began Florentino's era of the Galacticos, with superstars piling up front, the midfield becoming weaker and weaker, and the weakness of the backline has continued, and even now, it has not been improved.

This time, the 5-2 away win over Zurich was certainly gratifying, but the defensive weakness exposed behind it was also worrying.

The famous Spanish football critic Santiago commented in his column that the five away goals are indeed dazzling, but Zurich's quality is not outstanding, Benitez still needs to learn from it, and Real Madrid needs to be more balanced.

"Balance, not to blindly strengthen the defence, but to firmly control the ball and the situation until you find the most suitable way to play the ball, and then send the ball to the area where you can create a threat, but this is exactly what Real Madrid are doing poorly at the moment."

Santiago also pointed out that Real Madrid's backline does have problems, Ramos and Pepe have not been able to give confidence, the two central defenders have always played more frizzy, and Benitez has rotated Metzelder and Fermaelen, which also has some problems that cannot be reassured.

'We should see that Arbeloa and Maxwell are both good full-backs at Liverpool and Inter Milan, and the two-man combination of Mascherano and Xavi Alonso has proven their worth at Liverpool.

"But at Real Madrid, such a defensive set-up is so scary against a team like Zurich that it has to be taken seriously."

Santiago finally said that the reason why Real Madrid started the season so smoothly is that the superstars in the front court, especially Yang Yang, should be thanked the most.

"So far, Yang Yang has played three games for Real Madrid, scoring five goals and providing two assists, and such a report card is enough to make him stand out from the crowd, and there is no other person in the whole world football who can show such a performance."

"As Real Madrid fans, we have a lot of confidence in the team's attack, and we can proudly tell the world that with a top attacker like Yang Yang, we have the confidence to break through any defense in the world, but at the same time, we must also be aware that it is not enough to win by attacking alone."

As a well-known Real Madrid fan, Santiago's column has written the hearts of countless Real Madrid fans.

For Yang Yang, they generally gave the highest evaluation, thinking that the transfer fee of 100 million euros was too well spent.

But everyone's biggest concern is defense, for fear that the team's weak defense line will drag down Yang Yang in front.

However, there are also many media outlets helping Benitez explain that Real Madrid's defensive weakness has been around for a long time.

Marca Newspaper has listed Real Madrid's defensive statistics in La Liga in recent years, starting with Queiroz taking over Real Madrid in 003, and the number of goals Real Madrid has conceded in La Liga over the years has been 54, 32, 40, 40, 36 and 52.

Among them, although Real Madrid won the La Liga championship in the 06-07 season and the 07-08 season, the Real Madrid team under Capello in the 06-07 season only ranked fifth in La Liga in terms of goals conceded, losing to Barcelona with 33 goals, Sevilla with 35 goals, Atletico Madrid with 39 goals and Getafe with 33 goals.

Only in the 07-08 season, Real Madrid played more advantageously, ranking first in 84 La Liga goals, and conceding 36 goals was also the most solid defense.

The purpose of Marca's report is to show everyone that Real Madrid's defensive weakness has been a long-standing problem, and that the defense is maintained by the system, and it cannot be improved overnight.

"Whether it's Benitez or a few defenders in the team, they are all players who have proven themselves in the Europa League, and I believe that if they are given a little more time, they should be able to integrate quickly."

…………

On the evening of September 20, at the Bernabeu Stadium.

In the third round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Jerez.

It was a match that was sentenced to death before the game, and Real Madrid, who had invested hundreds of millions of euros, were tipped to win at home.

But the trend of the game was a bit of a surprise.

Due to Xavi Alonso's pre-match training injury, Gago started in place of Spain midfield, alongside Las Diarra in a back two, while Kaka, Raul, Ibrahimovic and Arjen Robben all started up front.

But what people didn't expect was that under the pressure of Jerez's full-pitch, Real Madrid failed to create an effective offensive in the first hour, and Gago, who served as the core of the midfield, performed even more sluggishly and disappointingly.

In the 65th minute, Benitez replaced two players in one go, replacing Gage with Guti and Raul with Yang Yang, determined to completely change the trend of the game.

And this substitution quickly paid off.

In the 75th minute, Yang Yang ran inside from the left side, received a return pass from Ibrahimovic on the periphery of the penalty area, and rammed all the way to the right side, but in front of many defenders of Jerez, he rushed to the right side of the penalty area from the left rib, and spied an opportunity, suddenly entered the penalty area, and hit a right-footed volley.

1 to 0!

Once again, this goal earned him a full round of applause!

The entire Bernabeu was cheering his name.

Subsequently, Yang Yang and Robben switched positions, after winning the ball on the right side, he suddenly crossed the bottom, Ibrahimovic missed in front of the goal, and Robben followed at the back point, and hit with his left foot, 2-0!

Two minutes later, Arjen Robben forced a break down the left to create a corner, Guti took a corner, and Yang Yang jumped high to get ahead of everyone and smashed the ball into Jerez's goal from close range.

Brace! Three to zero!

Subsequently, Yang Yang made a successful steal in the front court, and after winning the ball, he passed to Ibrahimovic, who took the ball with his back and knocked it back, and Kaka followed up with the volley and hit, four to zero!

In the eighty-ninth minute, Guti made a through ball and accurately gave it to the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic hit a low shot, 5-0!

In the last 20 minutes, Real Madrid's players set off an attacking frenzy on the pitch.

From the delay in opening up the situation for more than an hour, to the scoring of five goals in the last 20 minutes, to the end, more than 80,000 fans at the entire Bernabeu stadium stood up to cheer.

There were also fans at the scene who spontaneously pulled out a huge portrait of Yang Yang to show their love and gratitude for Yang Yang.

"From 0-0 to 5-0, Yang Yang scored another brace and provided another assist, and he became Real Madrid's most threatening superstar on the pitch, and also became the source of Real Madrid's attacking frontcourt."

"If it wasn't clear enough before, then now, we should be able to say clearly that Yang Yang is the core competitiveness of this Real Madrid team, with or without him, just look at this game against Jerez."

"Then there's Gago, the Argentine midfielder's disappointing performance, who didn't show satisfactory quality during Xavi Alonso's absence due to injury, but the veteran Guti, who shone after coming off the bench, as if he had regained the style of the talented midfielder of the Golden Wolves."

……

When Yang Yang scored a brace after coming on as a substitute, setting off a wave of offensive storm at the Bernabeu and leading Real Madrid to beat Jerez 5-0 at home, Messi also scored a brace to help Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 5-2 at Camp Nou.

Interestingly, both have one assist.

After this round of matches, Real Madrid continued to lead the La Liga standings, followed by Barcelona.

Yang Yang leads La Liga's scorers with five goals, followed by Messi and David Villa with four goals.

It is also clear to everyone that this season's La Liga has entered a white-hot phase from the start.

The two superstar teams led by Yang Yang and Messi began a fierce competition.

It also makes everyone look forward to this season's derby of the century.

In particular, it was the centenary celebration of Barcelona.
