And countless Real Madrid fans have been looking forward to one thing all summer, that is, what the team's league debut at the Bernabeu will look like, what kind of surprises will it bring to fans, and will Yang Cheng lead Real Madrid to a hearty victory?

Yang Cheng's home win rate is very high, although he has lost at home, but rarely, not as perverted as Chelsea's Mourinho, the home team has been unbeaten for many years, but purely in terms of winning rate, Yang Cheng's home record is more than Mourinho.

This also made many fans look forward to it, filling the stands at the Bernabeu Stadium, hoping to witness the moment when Caesar led the Galaxy to set sail.

Yang Cheng also kept emphasizing before the game that the first game of the league is always very difficult, and he hoped that all the players could go all out and play their best, but no one expected that the final game would be the first game with zero eggs.

0：0

It was certainly not a game to be admired, and the most watched in the whole game was Villarreal counter-attacking and Real Madrid making mistakes.

In the first 25 minutes of the opening game, Real Madrid played very amazingly, a bit like the first half of the United States against Real Salt Lake City and the Bernabeu Cup.

The players performed well, the fans were excited, the stands at the Bernabeu Stadium were so excited that they almost wanted to tear their throats, and even the TV commentators shouted vigorously, so-and-so is so beautiful, so-and-so passes are too creative, and the attack of the entire Real Madrid's midfield is very smooth.

"It doesn't look like a team that's been in formation for less than two months, it's like it's been working together for many years, the chemistry is fantastic, the attack is like mercury, it's more flashy and enjoyable than when Zidane and other superstars are there."

"The only thing that's not perfect is that Villa is obviously playing under so many fans for the first time – especially at the Bernabeu, where they are a little less able to take chances, missing out on the two great scoring chances that Raul and David Beckham created for him respectively, but with the current momentum maintained, Real Madrid will definitely win this game, even a big win!"

Raul has performed very well, his interspersed runs and strategies have made Real Madrid's frontcourt attack very fluid, Beckham's crosses can always tear through the opponent's defense again and again, and David = Silva's breakthrough and inward cut on the left side also show that he has the ability to replace Zidane.

The double midfield of Xavi = Alonso and Mascherano completely suppressed Villarreal's midfield, and Riquelme did nothing under Mascherano's care.

The backline of Arbeloa, Cannavaro, Thuram and Salgado was so solid that they didn't even give Villarreal a chance to shoot on target in the first half hour, and the Casillas Cup commentator joked that the match could turn into a decoration.

It can be said that the performance of Real Madrid in the first half hour was really great and smooth!

However, after Pellegrini realized that the team's midfield gave Real Madrid too much space to attack, Somosa came off the bench and formed a double midfielder with Senna. Carney also retreated to participate in the defense, which made Villarreal's midfield immediately become strong, and the space was very limited

As Yang Cheng said before, Real Madrid has just been formed, and after a long time of practice and training, they are already familiar with the offensive routines and players, but it takes time to play a tacit understanding, especially to play a tacit understanding in that kind of high-intensity confrontation, it takes a long time to accumulate.

There is space for Real Madrid to play well, as in the first half against Real Salt Lake and against Anderlecht, but once they are pressed by a strong defense, the lack of chemistry of the Real Madrid players will be exposed.

The same was true of this game, where Manuel Pellegrini's side were so preoccupied defensively that they even sacrificed their own attack, which immediately stifled Real Madrid's attack.

If the first 30 minutes were a gorgeous show for Real Madrid, then the next one became a gladiatorial arena for both sides, bloody and brutal.

The result of 00 was very unpleasant for Real Madrid fans, but after the game, they still gave the team applause and encouragement, at least they knew that the flashy performance in the first half hour was enough to make people have high hopes for the future of Real Madrid. …,

At the post-match press conference at the end of this match, Yang Cheng spoke highly of Villarreal's defense.

'Manuel Pellegrini has developed a very good team, they have created a lot of difficulties for us defensively, we started well but we didn't have enough control of the tempo, and when we were pressed defensively, we didn't have enough self-confidence, so we made too many mistakes against Villarreal's stubborn defence, and the overall level dropped a lot.

'But I have to say that Villa is a very, very good goalscorer, he has an instinct to score and he misses two great chances to score, which I think is understandable because it was his first competitive game for Real Madrid and he told me that wearing a Real Madrid shirt is different from wearing a shirt from other teams and that he is adapting to that difference.

"Congratulations to Villarreal for getting 1 point away, but I still say the same thing, Real Madrid is still in the run-in period!"

On the second day after the match, Marca also devoted a page to the match, and they agreed with Yang Cheng's statement, at least they would not attribute the draw to the after-effects of Yang ●・'s purge of superstars.

"We have to see that some reporters and media are creating hype, last season they desperately advocated to purge superstars, but now they are bombarding Yang Cheng, nostalgic for the superstar era, their unprincipled and positional attitude will only make their comments unconvincing."

'Real Madrid's defence has really become solid now, Villarreal only threatened Casillas' goal once in the whole game, and that was Nihat's shot in the second half, but that didn't pose much of a threat to Casillas, more often than not, we saw Real Madrid's solid defensive system.

"To be honest, after watching Real Madrid's football for so many years, we have never seen Real Madrid with such a reassuring defense since Capello left in the last century, almost every game in the past, our fragile backline will be terrifying, but in this game, we saw a team battle!"

"Arbeloa's defense is indeed very good, the card position is accurate, the defense is experienced We can see that his strength is improving rapidly, especially in the contribution of the defensive end, Yang Cheng is indeed a must in the vision of promoting players, even Castia's head coach Carlo did not dare to reuse Arbeloa, but he directly entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and even did not hesitate to send away a superstar like Carlos, but Arbeloa's performance also gave Yang Cheng enough reward!"

"Salgado is also based on defense in this game, and occasionally comes forward to respond to the attack, he looks really young, but judging from the fact that Yang Cheng didn't even put Ramos in the squad, the outside world's remarks about Yang Cheng's dislike of Ramos seem to be true, but Salgado's decent performance is enough to reassure us about the defense on the right side."

"The first 30 minutes were Xavi = Alonso's best 30 minutes since joining Real Madrid, long passes, short passes, splits, diagonal passes over the top, threatening passes, controlling the tempo, etc., he completed almost irreproducibly, and Mascherano's protection and response by his side have allowed us to see the rise of a solid set of double midfielders."

"And the attacking combination of the four players in the front field also threatened Villarreal's goal again and again, and for at least the first half hour, Villarreal was tortured by them to the point of helplessness."

"We can believe that Real Madrid in the first half hour is the best Real Madrid, but the cruel reality of the next 60 minutes tells us that if we want to see a mature Real Madrid, we still need to give more patience, at least in this kind of high-intensity pressing of the passing and receiving cooperation, it is a huge test for the tacit understanding between the players, which requires a longer period of accumulation and cultivation."

"If you want to say what this Real Madrid team needs the most, it must be patience, the patience of the management, the patience of the fans!"

The comments of the newspaper are also countering the attacks of some media, who believe that those media who say that Real Madrid is uncreative have ignored the team's near-world-class performance in the first half hour, whether it is David = Silva, or Beckham, or even Xavi = Alonso and Raul, all of which have made Real Madrid's attack full of creativity.

"Yang Cheng is Caesar, the world's No. 1 manager, that's right, but he is not God, he can't solve all the problems at once, so he is optimistic that he will see the best Real Madrid after the winter break, which is undoubtedly buying himself more time to adjust the team." …,

But the newspaper also put forward a point, that is, if Real Madrid still wants to win the league this season, they must get out of the slump as soon as possible, adjust their form as soon as possible, and at least ensure the efficiency of scoring points, otherwise it will be difficult to catch up with Barcelona.

In fact, Barcelona also played hard in the first round.

In the away game against Celta, they were 01 behind the home team in the first half, but in the second half with goals from Samuel Eto'o and Messi, they reversed Celta, but in the 65th minute, Lopes' goal helped Celta equalize, and it was not until the 88th minute that Gudjohnsson's goal saved Barcelona.

Regardless, Barcelona picked up the three points, which gave them widespread praise, especially with Real Madrid holding them to a draw at home to Villarreal, and Barcelona's victory looked even more noteworthy.

The most eye-catching team in the first round was Sevilla, who beat Levante 4-0 at home to top the La Liga table and temporarily become the leader.

"What do you say?"

At the Valdebebas training base, Redondo, Benitez and Paul=Beyer, who were sitting in Yang Cheng's office, looked at Yang Cheng who walked in after answering the phone, and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, just to clarify the rumors from the outside world, he said that he has not given any interviews, and said that he and the management support me unconditionally regardless of the team's results, and as for the board members to be interviewed by the media, he will bring it up at the board of directors and advise!"

Yang Cheng said with a smile that he was not under pressure at all, because if he felt the pressure just in the warm-up match and the first round of the league, then Real Madrid would not spend so much time and energy looking for him, would it?

He knew in his own mind that he would not leave the class even if he was empty-handed in the first season, because Florentino had already put all the bets on him.

"That's good!" Redondo said with some reassurance.

Yang Cheng smiled and patted the Argentine on the shoulder and sat down near them.

In the middle of the crowd, there is a tactical map, which they are studying the gains and losses of the first round and the tactical loopholes while the players are going to report on the national team.

It should be said that a real game exposed a lot of problems, and the gains were more than all the warm-up games combined, at least in the last 60 minutes, Real Madrid exposed many problems that were usually hidden because the opponent's strength was not strong enough, especially in the offensive advance.

The defense has improved, because Yang Cheng is organized around the two players Cannavaro and Thuram, they were partners when they were at Juventus, and they will not lose their tacit understanding when they come to Real Madrid, but they need to adapt to the style of play in La Liga and the referee's law enforcement standards.

This is only temporary, and this line of defense will definitely have to be changed in the future, because defending strong and attacking weak is not the line of defense that Yang Cheng wants!

'I think one of the big problems that we had in this game was that when we were under pressure with the ball, Xavi = Alonso and Mascherano were both recycled, we didn't have a full-time midfielder up front, which caused a problem with the connection between the front line and the midfield.

Benitez hit the nail on the head and said Real Madrid's biggest attacking problem in the last hour of the game.

Yang Cheng's 4411 tactics, in fact, that is, although Raul and Villa can retreat, but in fact they are forwards, the position is very high, and the space between the striker and the back is too large, Pellegrini went to the back three in one breath, just saw this, and directly strangled here to play, and as a result, Real Madrid's attack was gone.

"Actually, we started the game without a score, and it was very important that we always took the forward line to retreat and take the line to receive the two chances, and before Villa's two chances, we always retreated and then sprinted forward, and the physical energy was too much in a moment, and the technical movements were easy to lose, so I think it was a tactical problem."

Relying on the forward line to retreat to respond means that the striker player must have more running, or directly rely on Beckham and Xavi = Alonso to play long passes, but in order to ensure the efficiency of ball control, long passes have never been the main means of passing advocated by strong teams, but only auxiliary means, which is too inefficient, which is why England's long pass rush has been squeezed out of the stage of history. …,

"Later, you replaced Salgado with Soldado, and after strengthening the attack, Soldado was at the front, Villa and Raul roamed around, and Raul retreated deeper, which was originally a good adjustment, but at that time Villa and Raul's physical strength was already unsustainable, so the effect became insignificant."

As Yang Cheng has been repeatedly emphasizing, the most talked about in the offensive system is actually not how to score goals and who will score, but how to develop a set of promotion routines, how to send the ball to the opponent's 32-meter area, or even the penalty area.

If you can create a steady stream of chances, the goals will naturally follow.

"Let Raul drop back and play the midfield?" Yang Cheng always frowned, and proposed, "Let David = Silva and Beckham press forward appropriately when attacking, and the formation becomes 4231." ”

"Theoretically possible." Benitez and Paul = Bair both nodded.

Yang Cheng's original tactic was originally to take the route of double striker retreat, Raul and Villa decided the retreat strength according to the situation on the field, and now it is just to put the responsibility on Raul and let Villa get closer to the opponent's penalty area, because Villa has more speed and impact than Raul

"But Lauerken?" Paul = Byer asked.

After it is fixed, it means that Raul must first think about making balls for Villa and serving his competitors in the future, rather than thinking about how to score goals, which is really not an easy thing for Raul to accept.

If it were someone else, it would be fine, but Villa is his rival in the national team and the sworn enemy promoted by the media, and if he does do so, the outside media will definitely spread it even more.

Yang Cheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "He will be willing, as long as he can win!" ”

Ledo also thinks so, "As long as it's good for the team, it's okay for you to let him play as a central defender!" ”

"I'll talk to Raul about this in person!" Yang Cheng made a quick decision.

If Raul doesn't agree, Yang Cheng will consider using Aguero or another player to play the midfield, and then let Villa concentrate on attacking the city in front.

After that, there was a discussion about the league.

Yang Cheng didn't care about the first round draw, because the league had just begun, but he still repeatedly stressed that if you want to win the league championship, you must win as many games as possible and get three points, especially against some weaker teams.

As the so-called skinny camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how chaotic Real Madrid is, the overall strength advantage is enough to crush those weaker opponents, if even these games have to lose points, then Real Madrid really don't need to talk about winning the championship, just admit defeat.

The weaker opponents that Yang Cheng said are undoubtedly the opponents in the next three rounds of the league, challenging Levante away, Real Sociedad at home, and Real Betis away.

These three rounds of league games will be sandwiched between the group stage of the Champions League, and then Real Madrid will usher in a derby with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Clear
