After the first round of La Liga, Real Madrid topped the standings with 3 points, 6 goals and 5 goal difference, which is a good start for this season's La Liga.
For Lu Wenbin, completing a hat-trick in his first La Liga game without playing the full game is also a good start worth celebrating.
Lu Wenbin was substituted early not because Mourinho wanted to protect his physical strength or something, but because he saw that he had completed a hat trick, so he replaced him and let Ozil play.
The competition for attacking positions in Real Madrid's midfield is too fierce.
Lu Wenbin, C Ronaldo, Kaka, Ozil, Di Maria, Sahin, Granero, Callejon and so on.
In the future, it is estimated that not only will he be substituted early, but position rotation will also be a common occurrence.
Lu Wenbin, Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Maria and Callejon must not only be able to play as midfielders, but also as forwards.
Kaka, Ozil and Sahin must not only be able to play as attacking midfielders, but also as winger.
Otherwise, except for Lu Wenbin and Cristiano Ronaldo, it would be difficult for others to guarantee stable playing time.
Especially Kaka and Ozil, Mourinho has privately asked them to prepare to rotate as wing forwards.
Because Lu Wenbin's performance was so outstanding and great.
From the Super Cup to La Liga, Lu Wenbin scored a total of 7 goals and 3 assists in Real Madrid's first three official games. For a midfielder like him, there is no reason not to start.
Then, Kaka and Ozil, who play in the same position, can only resign themselves to playing as wing midfielders. Otherwise, they may not get much playing time.
As for Lu Wenbin, not only the fans and the coach are satisfied, but also President Florentino and the media are quite satisfied.
After the first round of La Liga, including all the goals for the club, the Olympic team and the national team, Lu Wenbin's total number of goals in 2011 has reached 82.
The second half of the year's games have just begun. Including the club, the Olympic team and the national team, Lu Wenbin still has at least 20 to 30 games to play.
Based on Lu Wenbin's goal-scoring efficiency, as long as he doesn't get injured, there will be no problem for him to score over 100 goals in 2011.
That's really a terrifying number.
His previous annual total of 94 goals was already astonishing enough, but now he is heading for the 100-goal mark.
Such a record is simply incredible and no one can match it.
Someone has raised a question: if Lu Wenbin can score around 100 goals every year in the future, as long as Lu Wenbin plays for more than 10 years, can he score more than 1,000 goals and reach the same achievement as Pele
And if Lu Wenbin maintains his good form and plays for 20 years, can he score more than 2,000 goals and become the first football player in history to score more than 2,000 goals
It’s exciting to think about.
However, the 1,000-goal record is too far away. Even if 100 goals are scored every year, it will take ten years. Everyone just thinks about it.
Now, the closest thing to everyone is the annual 100-goal mark.
If Lu Wenbin really completed this record, it would be enough to shock the world.
Lu Wenbin will become the first player in football history to score three-digit goals in a year, which is absolutely of extraordinary significance.
There are still more than ten balls to go, and as long as Lu Wenbin is not injured, it is almost certain to be completed.
Not to mention Lu Wenbin himself, even the outside world has full confidence in him.
While the media and fans were discussing Lu Wenbin's total number of goals for the year, Lu Wenbin and his girlfriend, coach, chairman, etc. flew to Monaco to attend the draw ceremony for the new season's Champions League group stage.
On August 25, 2011, the draw ceremony for the 2011/2012 UEFA Champions League group stage was held in the Council Hall in Monaco's Place de la Monnaie.
Before the draw ceremony, UEFA first awarded the best players of last season's Champions League.
There is no doubt that Lu Wenbin won the 2010/2011 Champions League Golden Boot with 23 goals in 13 games. For two consecutive years, he defended this most important Champions League title at two different clubs, Hoffenheim and Inter Milan.
Then, Lu Wenbin naturally won the title of the best player of the Champions League last season for leading Inter Milan to win the championship, and he also defended this honor.
Finally, being selected for the best eleven is a natural thing.
Lu Wenbin became the most dazzling person at the Champions League awards ceremony.
The Champions League group stage draw ceremony for this season will be held after the Champions League awards ceremony.
32 teams are divided into 8 groups to play a double round-robin group stage. Each group has two qualifying places for the round of 16. The third place in the group stage will play in the Europa League.
Real Madrid and Barcelona, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Porto are the seeded teams and will avoid each other in the group stage.
Then, the drawing of lots begins.
In the end, Real Madrid was drawn into Group D, together with Lyon, Ajax and Dinamo Zagreb, and there was no problem in qualifying.
The only highlight is Real Madrid's revenge on Lyon.
Because in the 2009/2010 season, Real Madrid was eliminated by Lyon in the round of 16.
Real Madrid is about to take revenge on Lyon and break its embarrassing record of being round of 16 in the Champions League every year, aiming for the tenth Champions League in the club's history.
As for the others, Manchester United and Inter Milan drew good lots, Bayern fell into the group of death, and Barcelona met AC Milan.
Barcelona seems to be at odds with Milan. They have been facing Inter Milan or AC Milan for several seasons in a row, which is quite interesting.
After the Champions League group stage draw ceremony, three days after returning to Spain, Real Madrid faced their second La Liga game of the season against Zaragoza.
This is a standard weak team. It was relegated in the 2008/2009 season and returned to La Liga in the 2009/2010 season.
Real Madrid also has an absolute advantage against Zaragoza.
However, the charm of football comes from the unpredictability of the game results. Being strong does not guarantee victory.
Last season, Real Madrid was defeated 3-2 by Zaragoza at the Bernabeu at home, which was a humiliation.
Therefore, when facing Zaragoza again this season, Real Madrid’s goal is not a small win, but a big win, without any reservations, even on the road.
At 19:00 on August 28, the second round of the 2011/2012 La Liga match between Real Madrid and Zaragoza officially started at Zaragoza's home stadium.
Although Real Madrid played in a 4231 formation, Mourinho allowed the team to attack freely without worrying about defense.
In this game, Real Madrid attacked instead of defending.
As a result, the entire Real Madrid team pressed forward to attack on the field.
Both full-backs Marcelo and Ramos attacked, leaving only central defenders Pepe and Varane in the backcourt.
Just three minutes into the game, Ramos cut in from the wing and made an inverted triangle pass to the top of the penalty area. Marcelo rushed up and shot the ball into the goal.
Real Madrid used two defenders to attack Zaragoza's goal, which made Zaragoza's home fans feel depressed.
