When the Real Madrid and Barcelona teams entered the stadium at the same time with their ball boys, all the spectators at the scene and in front of the TV who knew that Real Madrid should line up to welcome Barcelona were shocked.
Then, the reporters got even more excited when the two head coaches, Mourinho and Guardiola, ignored each other and did not even offer a polite handshake.
Countless commentators excitedly explained:
"Real Madrid did not line up to welcome Barcelona and salute last season's champions!"
"This is a provocation to the tradition and unspoken rules of Spanish football as a whole. I don't know who made the decision!"
"I bet it was Mourinho! Only this madman who claims that God is first and he is second would do such a thing!"
"Mourinho is indeed the most special one. Wherever he goes, there is big news!"
"Mourinho's first game in Spain, he made big news!"
"Spanish football will enter the Mourinho era from today!"
"Judging from the expressions of the Barcelona players, it is clear that they are irritated by Real Madrid!"
"This game will never be peaceful!"
“An exciting Spanish national derby!”
The players on the field could not do what Mourinho did, so they still shook hands with each other. However, they were all perfunctory and withdrew as soon as they touched each other, as if they were afraid of dirtying their hands if they shook hands with their opponents for too long.
After shaking hands, taking photos and choosing sides, with the referee's whistle, the first round of the 2011 Spanish Super Cup between last season's Spanish King's Cup champion Real Madrid and last season's La Liga champion Barcelona officially started at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Mourinho's Real Madrid fielded a 4231 formation, with captain Casillas guarding the goal, Ramos, Carvalho, Pepe and Marcelo as the defenders, Alonso and Khedira as the defensive midfielders, Ronaldo, Lu Wenbin and Di Maria as the attacking midfielders, and Benzema as the lone striker.
Guardiola's Barcelona fielded a 433 formation, with Valdes guarding the goal, Alves, Mascherano, Abidal and Pique as the defenders, Xavi, Iniesta and Keita as the midfielders, and Messi, Villa and Sanchez as the three forwards.
Even when facing the world's number one player like Lu Wenbin, Barcelona did not shrink its defense, but instead deployed a 433 offensive formation to compete with Real Madrid in offensive quality.
At the beginning of the game, Barcelona took advantage of the kick-off right to keep the ball firmly under their feet, and used their skillful passing and control techniques to try to pass the ball into Real Madrid's goal.
However, Mourinho has made arrangements for this situation. The 4231 formation is not just about two defensive midfielders. Lu Wenbin, Ronaldo and Di Maria are all required to return to defense in time.
Even if you can't steal the ball from the opponent, it's fine as long as you interfere with the opponent's passing, cutting and running.
Moreover, Mourinho requires his players to be very tough on the field and use their muscles to destroy Barcelona's technology.
Lu Wenbin and Cristiano Ronaldo can really help in this regard, as they are both physically strong enough.
They rushed forward with great momentum, and most Barcelona players did not have the courage to pass them one-on-one. They were afraid of being entangled and losing the ball, so they could only pass the ball quickly.
In the 4th minute, before Barcelona's ball reached the goal, they were forced to pass the ball back by the entire Real Madrid team. Abidal was pressed by Ronaldo near the center circle and hurriedly passed the ball back to Mascherano behind him, but Lu Wenbin saw the opportunity and fell to the ground to intercept the ball and passed the ball to Di Maria.
Di Maria received the ball and almost had a one-on-one chance, but fortunately Pique rushed over from the side and tackled the ball away.
Otherwise Barcelona's goal would be in danger.
In the 9th minute, Barcelona made a comeback, but Villa's shot was slightly off the target and was caught by Casillas.
After getting the ball, Casillas did not delay and kicked the ball directly to the front court.
Lu Wenbin gained the upper hand in the physical and speed contest with Mascherano, taking the lead in occupying the landing point, passing the ball to Ronaldo who was making a forward run from the side, and then landing and running forward.
After getting the ball, Ronaldo failed to break through Pique's defense and directly passed the ball to Benzema, the only forward in front of him.
Benzema did not waste time by dribbling the ball. Before Abidal could steal the ball, he passed the ball to the top of the penalty area. After heading the ball, Lu Wenbin and Mascherano were rushing towards there.
Although Mascherano is also a very strong defender, he was unable to gain the upper hand against Lu Wenbin’s physique.
As for speed, Lu Wenbin was far behind him.
By the time Lu Wenbin received the ball, Mascherano couldn't even reach Lu Wenbin with his hand.
Without any interference, Lu Wenbin took a long shot from outside the penalty area without stopping the ball.
The ball flew into the air and headed towards the goal at an extremely fast speed.
Valdés made a save and touched the ball.
But the power and speed of Lu Wenbin's non-stop shot while running were too fast, and Valdes' fingers failed to poke the ball out.
The ball deflected off Valdes' fingers, but eventually flew firmly into the goal, brushing the post.
Valdes watched the ball go into the net in despair, then fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
The commentators, fans and reporters of Real Madrid could no longer control Valdes.
At this moment, the only thing in their eyes was Lu Wenbin, the world's top star who had just scored his first goal in an official match for Real Madrid!
A loud roar came from the Bernabeu live broadcast:
“Goooooooooooooooooal…”
"In the 9th minute, Real Madrid scored the first goal. The scorer was No. 6..."
All the fans in the stadium excitedly shouted together: "Lu..."
Amid the excited shouts of Real Madrid fans, Lu Wenbin also excitedly rushed to the sidelines and slid on his knees in passionate celebration.
Then, Ronaldo, Benzema and others rushed up to celebrate with Lu Wenbin.
Less than 10 minutes later, Real Madrid got off to a dream start. The goal was scored by Lu Wenbin, who was highly expected to join the team at a whopping 150 million euros.
Although Casillas was the starting point of the attack, Lu Wenbin's midfield header competition with Mascherano, the speed competition in forward running, and the final non-stop shot in this goal perfectly demonstrated Lu Wenbin's physique, speed, heading, off-ball running, and most importantly, shooting skills.
Lu Wenbin's first shot in an official match for Real Madrid went into the goal of their arch-rivals Barcelona.
With this goal alone, Lu Wenbin instantly conquered countless Real Madrid fans at the scene!
President Florentino also clenched his fists and cheered in the box to celebrate Lu Wenbin's outstanding performance and his own wise decision.
Lu Wenbin's Real Madrid career had a perfect start.
