After returning to Spain after playing the first Austrian Asian qualifying group match against the South Korean Olympic team, Real Madrid faced Rayo Vallecano in the sixth round of La Liga just three days before the match against South Korea.
On the evening of September 18, they played the 4th round of La Liga against Levante. On September 19, they flew from Spain to South Korea. On the evening of September 21, they played against the South Korean Olympic team. After the game, they flew from South Korea to Spain again.
Then, on September 24th, there will be a match against Rayo Vallecano.
Although it was a home game and he didn't have to travel to away games, Lu Wenbin couldn't bear to fly so far away.
Therefore, in the sixth round of La Liga, Lu Wenbin naturally sat on the bench, Ozil started as the attacking midfielder, and Ronaldo and Kaka were the forwards on both sides.
Even without Lu Wenbin, Real Madrid's strength is still second to none. Apart from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, there are few teams in La Liga that can threaten Real Madrid.
The same is true for this game.
Although Lu Wenbin did not start, Real Madrid still firmly controlled the situation at home, leading 3-0 in the first half and scoring three goals in the second half, for a total of 6 goals.
Although Getafe scored two goals in the second half, it was of no avail.
Real Madrid finally won the La Liga round 6 match at home with a big score of 6-2.
Because the game went smoothly, Lu Wenbin did not even have a minute of playing time and was able to rest for a complete game, which was just right for him to make adequate preparations for the next Champions League group match.
Real Madrid's next game will be the second round of the Champions League group stage against Ajax in the same group.
Founded in 1900, Ajax is one of the most famous giants in world football. It has won four European Cups, one UEFA Cup, one European Cup Winners' Cup, three European Super Cups, and two Intercontinental Cups (Club World Cups). It has produced world-famous superstars such as Cruyff, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Bergkamp, Kluivert and many others.
Before the Bosman Act was implemented, Ajax was evenly matched and not afraid of the top five league giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, the two AC Milan clubs, and Bayern Munich.
Real Madrid and Ajax have faced each other 8 times in history, with Real Madrid having 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. Even at home in the Bernabeu, Real Madrid only achieved 2 wins and 2 losses and did not gain any advantage.
It can be said that judging from historical results, Ajax is even stronger than Real Madrid.
However, after the Bosman Act, due to the economic gap, Ajax, which is in the Dutch Eredivisie, became a star processing factory for the giants in the five major leagues.
Once a good seedling emerges, he will be poached by the giants in the five major leagues at a high price. It will be difficult for the team to produce a superstar player in his prime and achieve good results in European competitions.
However, even though it has now become a youth training base for the top five leagues and does not have superstar players in their prime, Ajax is still a dominant team in the Eredivisie and won the Eredivisie championship last season. Its strength should not be underestimated.
Especially for this kind of team that mainly relies on youth training, when they play crazy, they are even more terrifying than the super giants in the five major leagues.
Because these young players from the second-tier league teams are eager to become famous and reach the pinnacle of their lives by defeating super giants from the top five leagues such as Real Madrid in the world-renowned Champions League.
Once they play like crazy, even Real Madrid may be scored a lot of goals by them.
Therefore, in this game Mourinho did not play the 4231 defensive counterattack formation, but changed to 4132, reducing one defensive midfielder and adding a forward. The purpose was to enhance the attacking power, score goals as soon as possible and take a big lead, so as to lock in the victory early.
On the evening of September 27, the Bernabeu Stadium was packed, with media reporters from nearly 100 countries and regions interviewing on the spot. There were also a huge number of TV fans around the world watching the live broadcast of the game.
The match between Real Madrid and Ajax, a veteran giant, is a strong dialogue that is enough to attract the attention of the media and fans.
In addition, Lu Wenbin's total number of goals for the year has reached 98, and may break the 100-goal mark at any time, which naturally attracts more attention. Countless people are looking forward to witnessing Lu Wenbin create new records and new history as soon as possible.
There were more than 5,000 Chinese fans and overseas Chinese from China alone, and countless people were outside the stadium and could not enter because they did not have tickets.
At 20:45 in the evening, with the referee's whistle, the second round of the 2011/2012 UEFA Champions League Group D match between Real Madrid and Ajax at home officially began.
As Mourinho had guessed, Ajax did not retreat just because they were playing away from home and facing Real Madrid. Instead, they deployed a 433 attacking formation to fight against Real Madrid.
On the Real Madrid side, the single defensive midfielder is Xabi Alonso, who is better at attacking than defending, the attacking midfielder is No. 6 Lu Wenbin, the wingers are Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, and the two forwards are Higuain and Benzema.
It can be said that Real Madrid also put out its strongest offensive lineup to fight against Ajax.
The two sides didn't even test each other, and started to attack each other vigorously from the beginning.
As a result, less than a minute into the game, Ajax completed a threatening attack.
Ajax's No. 21 striker Borigot faced Pepe's defense outside the penalty area, passed the ball to his teammate on the wing, and then rushed into the penalty area himself.
His teammates passed the ball into the penalty area at the right time. Borigte volleyed the ball despite Carvalho's push, and the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.
Many fans at the scene stood up in surprise, and thousands of Ajax fans who followed the team also stood up excitedly, ready to celebrate the goal.
However, Real Madrid captain Casillas stepped up and used his quick reaction to save Borigot's threatening volley from the penalty area from going out of bounds.
Otherwise, Ajax might have scored a goal within the first minute of the game.
Even so, many Real Madrid fans were shocked and broke into a cold sweat, and commentators from various countries in the commentary booth also praised Ajax in different accents and languages.
The media likes to see evenly matched and intense matches, especially when the two teams are fighting against each other, which is what the media reporters and commentators like the most.
Lu Wenbin on the field was also shocked, and realized more deeply that Mourinho required him and his teammates to score goals as soon as possible and expand the score.
If Real Madrid cannot suppress Ajax's momentum as soon as possible and let Ajax's players play in good form and play like crazy, they may not be able to win the game at home.
After all, in the world of football, it is not the case that strength alone will guarantee victory.
Even Lu Wenbin had the energy to start the game but lose.
It can be seen that today's Ajax is indeed a super strong rival. Real Madrid must score a goal as soon as possible and cannot let Ajax continue to attack so crazily.
