Werder Bremen might have thought that after the previous episode, the war at Bernabéu would end peacefully.
They were so wrong!
In the last twenty minutes of the game, Qin Xiong and the defender, Pepe, each scored a goal, locking the total score at 7: 1.
At the end of the game, the Real Madrid fans in the stands at Bernabéu cheered loudly!
Real Madrid not only played a crushing momentum in La Liga, but also made a shocking start in the European battlefield!
Werder Bremen left Bernabéu with nightmarish memories. Real Madrid's recent crazy momentum made the entire European football world pale!
The European media sounded the alarm and began to conduct targeted research on Real Madrid's crazy momentum.
But whether it was a big discussion or tactical research, it only existed in theory.
In La Liga, Real Madrid blasted 17 goals in three rounds, which made all their opponents fearful. Those weak teams made up their minds to adopt conservative tactics against Real Madrid.
Win?
Don't think about the possibility of an upset to defeat Real Madrid first. The first thing to consider was not to be massacred!
It would be lucky to get a draw. If not, it was acceptable to lose a little to save face.
After all, Real Madrid was originally a championship-level team in La Liga. It was acceptable to play conservatively against them.
But the new generation of Real Madrid built by Bosque also had a new improvement in their ability to break through dense defenses.
The three axes to break through dense defenses were set pieces, long shots, and individual breakthroughs.
Real Madrid had three masters in set pieces, Qin Xiong, Snede, and Robben. At the same time, they also had the ability to shoot long shots. For individual breakthroughs, they relied on Qin Xiong and Robben. In addition, their positional play cooperation was getting stronger. Even if the opponents put on dense defenses, they could not stop Real Madrid's advance.
The reason why the Real Madrid team could leap in strength was also because of the good communication within the team.
Robben, who was regarded by the outside world as unruly and difficult to train, had not been defeated by Qin Xiong consecutively in the Netherlands and England, and understood Qin Xiong's ability, he would not have been willing to have Qin Xiong as the core.
On September 23rd, in the fourth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Valladolid.
The home team had been defending to the death from the first minute, but in the end, they announced that they had lost the city gate in the 20th minute of the game.
Qin Xiong was knocked to the ground by the opposing defender when he plugged forward in the penalty area. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. Raúl took charge of the penalty kick, and Real Madrid kicked off the scoring prologue.
Before the end of the first half, Robben received Qin Xiong's cross pass in front of the penalty area. After that, he kicked a curveball from the far corner to the right in front of the penalty area and sent the ball into the goal.
In the second half, Valladolid pulled a goal back from a corner kick, but Real Madrid scored in the 71st minute of the game when Qin Xiong received Snede's cross and scored with a header in the penalty area. Real Madrid's scoring continued!
Three minutes later, the substitute, Robinho, made a pass in the penalty area and caused a handball foul when the opponent was defending. Real Madrid was awarded the second penalty kick, and Raúl scored twice from the penalty kick.
At the end of the game, Real Madrid defeated Valladolid by 4: 1 in the away game, seven consecutive wins in all competitions in the new season, and four consecutive wins in the league tournament!
On September 27th, in the fifth round of La Liga.
Real Madrid faced Real Betis at the Bernabéu. Real Madrid, who were in a terrible state, was unexpectedly the first to be breached by their opponent at home.
In fact, Real Madrid's defensive line still had problems. It was difficult to say that there was a hard spot. After all, every position was full of capable players. It was just that a certain point might be intermittently crazy!
Qin Xiong and van Nistelrooy each scored a goal in 15 minutes and reversed the score in the 34th minute of the game.
But before the end of the first half, Real Betis seized a counterattack opportunity to equalize the score.
Various football critics who watched the first half of the game seemed to form a way to restrain Real Madrid in their minds.
That was the ultimate defensive counterattack!
This tactic itself was not unfamiliar. Whether it was in the past in Italy or in the modern era, such as Chelsea during Mourinho's era, they had all used it.
However, this tactic still required great strength to restrain Real Madrid.
It was difficult to implement.
Because the stronger the team, the harder it was to lower their stance to play the ultimate defensive counterattack.
Defensive counterattack was possible, such as Wenger's Arsenal for a long time after he took charge of Highbury. But if Arsenal had the financial resources of Chelsea and Wenger could recruit the players he liked, would he still play the defensive counterattack? Or even the ultimate defensive counterattack?
This was the dignity and foundation of a strong team, and there were higher pursuits at work.
In fact, the more top the team, the more difficult it was to walk on the path of pragmatism. Beautiful football was the highest pursuit, who did not want it?
Although Real Betis caused trouble for Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, Real Madrid easily knocked on the door of victory when they were unable to continue in the second half.
Ramos, Guti, and Snede each scored a goal in the second half, making the score 5: 2.
Real Madrid had five consecutive victories in the new season's league, and their offensive firepower was amazing!
On September 30, the last La Liga game of the month, the sixth round of the league, Real Madrid ushered in the Madrid mini-derby and challenged Getafe.
Probably because Getafe lost the title in last season's Copa del Rey final and defeated their opponents in this season's Supercopa de España, Getafe, who did not have much hatred for Real Madrid, suddenly seemed to have a death feud with Real Madrid.
In this game, Getafe not only defended at home to snipe Real Madrid, but also used killing tactics.
Before the end of the first half, Getafe had a player sent off, and Robben also retired in the game due to injury. The smell of gunpowder in the game was very strong.
In the second half, Real Madrid, who had one more player to play, successfully broke through the drought in the 71st minute of the game by continuing to indiscriminately bombard Getafe's goal.
After Snede's long shot created chaos, Qin Xiong's rebound shot in the penalty area sent the ball into the opponent's goal.
Getafe could not accept the result of losing at home. After the whole team pressed forward, they lost another goal in the 84th minute of the game.
Robinho rushed to the edge of the penalty area in a counterattack from the flank and passed to the middle to Guti, who went straight into the penalty area. Qin Xiong successfully reversed the offside position and did not stop the ball to shoot at the far corner of the goal, neatly sending the ball into the goal.
After winning this game, Real Madrid won six consecutive league games.
Real Madrid won all the games in September!
The Spanish media called it Real Madrid's Dream September!
However, Robben's injury made the outside world wonder if Real Madrid could maintain their current terrifying momentum in October.
In this regard, although Bosque expressed that Robben's absence was a pity, he was still full of confidence in the team because the team did not lack players to replace Robben, such as Robinho.
Or they could change the formation to play another formation and switch to using two forwards.
