Chapter 268: First Goal of the Season

Ronaldo wants to transfer and leave.

It has also become a hot topic of discussion within the Real Madrid locker room.

Several big guys from the Spanish gang actually breathed a sigh of relief.

The appearance of Li Mo made them not worried about Ronaldo's departure.

And because Ronaldo has not appeared in Real Madrid Sports City for more than a month, everyone has gradually gotten used to it.

Especially since they, as Real Madrid players, actually know more inside information than the media.

After Mendes revealed to Real Madrid that Ronaldo is preparing to leave Real Madrid this summer.

Real Madrid reacted very positively to this.

Florentino personally instructed that Real Madrid's transfer department will not set any obstacles to Ronaldo's departure.

Even on transfer fees.

Real Madrid will not open their mouths - in fact, Ronaldo is nearly 30 years old, and it is estimated that it is unlikely that there will be an exaggerated transfer fee.

It is estimated that the price of around 150 million is enough to convince Real Madrid to let him go.

In fact, there are not many clubs that can afford this price.

Same as Li Mo.

The key is to see where Ronaldo wants to go.

For the players of Real Madrid.

The biggest benefit to Real Madrid regarding Ronaldo's transfer and departure is that the disharmony in Real Madrid's locker room has been eliminated.

The Portuguese-speaking gang was completely defeated.

Now it is the Spanish gang that dominates - of course, this is reflected in the dressing room.

And at the tactical level.

Because of Zidane's prestige.

The role of the Spanish Gang is only to help Zidane maintain harmony in the locker room.

After all, the two big guys of the Spanish Gang, Casillas and Ramos, are both backcourt players.

They actually don't have much demand for tactical resources.

Li Mo is actually not a very ball-hungry forward.

He can handle the ball.

But he can also make intermittent runs.

Thanks to his versatility.

He works well with many types of midfielders, wingers and full-backs.

Therefore, at the tactical level, Zidane is still quite ambitious this season.

He hopes Real Madrid can play with more control and dominance.

Li Mo needs to retreat more, participate in control, and pass the ball. At the same time, Real Madrid's main offensive method is to pass the ball into the penalty area as much as possible and find Li Mo, whether it is above his head or under his feet.

Li Mo can directly attack the goal himself, or he can choose to play the ball.

He has a strong body and can carry people in the penalty area.

so.

After the first leg of the Western Super Cup.

What Ole, the commentator of Radio Kobe, said: Li Mo is a combination of Benzema and Ronaldo.

This sentence is really not said casually.

It is well-founded.

Just when Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Mendes was busy bargaining with various wealthy clubs.

The second leg of the Super Cup was played at Atletico Madrid's home stadium, the Calderon.

This game was played on August 23rd.

Real Madrid's first La Liga game of the new season will be played on August 26.

There was only two days in between.

So in this game, Real Madrid simply made a big rotation.

They also have capital to rotate.

After all, Real Madrid's lineup is here.

The substitute players include Isco, Pepe, Khedira, Lopez, Coentrao and other powerful players. If these players are released, they can play as the main players in any team.

not to mention.

Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 4-0 in the first round.

In this second round, even if it is a rotation, they are confident enough to win the Super Cup.

In fact, this is also true.

In the second round of the match, Atletico Madrid really raised the intensity of the game to a new level. German midfielder Khedira, who started the game, unfortunately touched his hamstring muscles and sat on the turf after a confrontation.

"The Germans are so unlucky, of course. It may also be because they spent too much money in the World Cup./"

The commentator who saw this scene couldn't help but shake his head and said.

The World Cup does have a greater impact on big teams like Real Madrid.

Zidane also frowned when he saw this scene.

He had no choice but to let Xavi Alonso come on the bench to warm up.

Now it seems.

Letting Xavi Alonso stay is the next top goal of Real Madrid's front office

For Zidane, his ideal main midfield configuration is Alonso, Kroos, and Modric.

Alonso can at least finish this season, and it’s not too late to consider his replacement or players to replace Alonso next season.

Zidane thought.

In this game, Real Madrid eventually lost to Atletico Madrid 1-2 away from home.

But they still won the Spanish Super Cup trophy with a total score of 5-2.

A good start to the new season.

There is naturally a lot to watch about this new La Liga season.

Can Atletico Madrid continue last season's performance and continue to beat Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga.

Can Barcelona make a strong comeback under Enrique?

Can Zidane, a rookie coach, control the big ship of Real Madrid.

Of course.

What has attracted the most attention is the head-to-head competition between the two leading stars of the Western Premier League.

That is the showdown between Li Mo and Messi.

before the new season starts.

Some media interviewed Li Mo and asked him to look forward to the new season.

Li Mo held up four fingers.

The reporter didn't understand and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Quadruple champion!"

Li Mo said.

The reporters were stunned.

They looked at Li Mo's back as he walked into Real Madrid Sports City and remained silent for a long time.

This season, Real Madrid can compete for four championships.

They are the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga, King's Cup, and the Champions League.

Now the Super Cup is in hand.

The remaining three awards are La Liga, King's Cup, and Champions League.

To be honest.

Many reporters think Li Mo is too crazy.

But they didn't laugh at Li Mo for overestimating his own abilities.

Because Real Madrid has a very strong lineup.

Last season, Li Mo led Arsenal to win the Champions League.

This season, what's so strange about him leading Real Madrid to win the Champions League?

Real Madrid's lineup is much stronger than Arsenal's.

Although, many people know that a strong lineup cannot be directly equated with whether or not to win the championship.

But. When Li Mo said, I want to compete for the quadruple champion.

No one would think he was bragging.

Instead, they thought.

This is the ambition that the world's top star should have.

No one thought it was a big deal.

If some media thought Li Mo's words were too arrogant and mocked him,

I'm afraid they would be complained by readers.

August 26.

The first round of the La Liga was fully launched.

The new season of the La Liga finally kicked off.

Real Madrid's first opponent was to play against the newly promoted Cordoba at home.

Because the opponent was a newly promoted team and was not strong, the Real Madrid locker room was quite relaxed before the game.

But after the game started, they found that they really couldn't underestimate the newly promoted team.

Cordoba is not a common face in La Liga.

In fact, the last time they appeared in La Liga was 42 years ago.

This is their first appearance in the top league after 42 years.

Real Madrid's players underestimated the determination and attitude of a Spanish team that had been away from La Liga for 42 years for their first top league game after 42 years.

Even though, they were unlucky.

After 42 years, the first opponent they encountered in the La Liga was Real Madrid, and the first stadium to welcome them was the famous Bernabeu Stadium.

But the players of Cordoba were still very fierce. They defended actively and counterattacked quickly. As long as there was a chance, they would launch a counterattack without hesitation, quickly attack from the wing, quickly follow up in the middle, and then cross, or head, or shoot from the outside.

If the shot missed, immediately retreat to defense.

Never fight.

And the players of Real Madrid seemed to be too relaxed.

So much so that in the first 20 minutes of the first half.

The newly promoted Cordoba frequently counterattacked.

This made Casillas, the captain of Real Madrid, furious.

He kept roaring on the court.

Even through the sound equipment of the camera, the fans watching the live broadcast could hear the roar of the captain of Real Madrid.

"Damn it! Don't lose the ball easily!"

"Outside! Outside! Don't let them shoot from a distance easily!"

"Keep a close eye on them!"

The camera locked on Zidane.

He shook his head slightly.

Opponents like Cordoba did make Real Madrid's stars somewhat unmotivated.

Slow to get into the state, this is an old problem for Real Madrid.

"Zidane may feel the pressure of coaching Real Madrid. Now the Real Madrid fans in the stands of the Bernabeu must be very dissatisfied with their team's performance."

The commentators said one after another.

Zidane stood on the sidelines.

But he didn't shout or anything.

Because he knew that the stars of Real Madrid would adjust themselves.

Real Madrid has so many stars, as long as one of them shines a little, it can suppress Cordoba's momentum.

Speaking of star shine.

Zidane couldn't help but move his eyes to Li Mo.

Can solve the problem.

After all, it's still scoring.

To score.

It depends on the top scorer.

Thinking of this, Zidane is even less worried.

Although it's a bit metaphysical to say this.

But Zidane really thinks that in such a "season opener".

Li Mo will definitely score.

Real Madrid fans also hope that Li Mo can stand up and solve the problem.

So.

At the Bernabeu Stadium.

They began to shout Li Mo's name.

Generally speaking.

In this situation, being placed high hopes by 70,000 or 80,000 people in the stadium, everyone puts their hopes on you, the pressure is very high.

But Li Mo is not afraid of this pressure.

For him.

Pressure is motivation.

Sure enough.

In the second minute after the Bernabeu collectively shouted his name.

He scored a goal.

This was a personal assault in the middle.

He retreated to a distance of about 40 meters from the goal to receive the ball.

Because Cordoba played a dense defensive bus formation.

Therefore.

Li Mo turned around without any pressure after receiving the ball, and he made a move to pass the ball to the side - before this, he basically did not perform with the ball himself, he was more of an interspersed run, and when the ball was passed to him, he also kicked the ball out.

So the Cordoba defender was fooled by Li Mo's action. He didn't react until Li Mo suddenly dribbled over.

But it was too late.

Li Mo dribbled the ball to a distance of 30 meters from the goal.

This distance is still quite far.

But it was already within Li Mo's shooting range.

There were only a few ways to break the dense defense. Li Mo's sudden breakthrough caused a little chaos in Cordoba's penalty area.

It was this little bit of chaos that allowed Li Mo to find a route to the goal!

Bang!

The right foot fell with full force, and the instep of the right foot was stretched and hit the middle and lower part of the football hard.

The football took off.

It flew into the sky with a whoosh.

Then suddenly

fell!

"Elevator ball!!!"

The ball was obviously on the elevator.

The suddenly falling football made the Cordoba goalkeeper completely unable to predict the route of the football.

Under the influence of air turbulence, the football floated left and right.

Then

Swish!

The Cordoba goalkeeper was stunned.

The football hit the net
