In the battle against Newmancia, Real Madrid's only summer signing, Van Der Vaart, made a name for himself. He received high praise from his teammates and the media.
The first game of the Champions League group stage came in the middle of the week. Real Madrid faced Bate Borisov at home. With the goals of Ramos and van Nistelrooy, Real Madrid won the game at home without bloodshed.
With the arrival of two consecutive wins, the pressure on Real Madrid was alleviated, and the team newspaper was also building momentum for Real Madrid and encouraging Real Madrid.
Ramos was a very good publicity material.
The defender, Ramos, who had been able to score 20 goals for the team in three years, was moving toward a world-class level. Even the former Carlos could not score so many goals in the same number of appearances.
Ramos received praise from all sides, and van Nistelrooy's consecutive goals announced that the Dutchman would take up the lead in Real Madrid's front line when Raúl was injured.
In the following third round of the league tournament, Real Madrid not only won consecutive victories, but also did not concede a goal in two consecutive games, which also showed the improvement in the quality of the defense.
In the game, Van Der Vaart assisted van Nistelrooy to break the goal and help the team secure the victory. Real Madrid's flag began to be colored orange from this moment on!
But bad news came again.
The midfielder, Guti, was injured and would miss three weeks of games!
Real Madrid's injury camp could almost form a luxurious team!
Qin Xiong began to do simple sports recovery without the ball, Snede returned to the team's training ground to train with the ball, and Raúl announced that his comeback was imminent. All signs indicated that Real Madrid was improving.
But at this time, Robben spoke.
Robben intentionally or unintentionally reminded the club's executives that Real Madrid still had shortcomings in the team.
"We have a team as good as last season, but after Robinho's departure, maybe we need a winger now. Of course, personally, I want to play as much as possible. Now, my playing time has increased, which makes me very happy. "
Robben said honestly after defeating Santander.
However, Robben's words hit the sore spot of Real Madrid's senior management. Robben's speech represented the locker room's acknowledgment that the team did not make a lot of moves this summer. However, after losing Robinho in the end, there was a shortage of players in some positions in the team. The winger was one of the positions that Real Madrid currently lacked.
At present, although Bosque still had players like Drenthe and Higuaín who could play on the wings, only Robben was a true winger. It was no wonder that the Dutchman objectively expressed that he needed help.
"On the flanks, maybe the signings will bring us good results. Let's wait and see. Maybe this will happen when the winter transfer market opens. "
The reason why Robben wanted the team to add players to the winger position was so that he could have a good rest.
"Compared to resting for three to four weeks due to injury, I'd rather take a break in one match. Sometimes, the lounge is a better choice because I want to play more games this season and don't want to get injured again. "
However, just as people were worried about how Bosque's team would survive the crisis of losing players in the midfield during the intensive competition schedule, Snede brought good news to people.
"I'm sure that I'll play for Real Madrid again in the home game against RCD Espanyol on October 5th! I'm full of desire to return to the field as soon as possible. "
The Dutch midfielder said in an interview with the media a few days ago.
Since the beginning of September, Snede, who had recovered unusually quickly from his injury, had started to jog. Recently, he had even started to practice shooting.
When he was injured, people were worried that Snede would be seriously injured for six months because of the torn ligament in his left knee.
However, the results of the post-examination showed that the injury was not very serious and it would take three months to recover.
Now, Snede had brought a new surprise to people and shortened the recovery time by a full month.
"When the doctor told me that I needed to rest for three months, I told myself that two months would be enough. It's really like this now. Great, I want to wear the Real Madrid jersey as soon as possible. "The Dutchman could not hide his excitement.
Every Real Madrid fan was looking forward to Snede's early return to the field, and then the next biggest expectation was the return of Qin Xiong!
In the fourth round of La Liga, Raúl returned from his injury and partnered with Higuaín as the starting striker. Van Der Vaart and Robben formed the backbone of Real Madrid's midfield.
In the home game against Sporting Gijon, the Dutchman completely became the master of Bernabéu!
Van Der Vaart scored a hat-trick, Robben also scored a goal, and Raúl scored twice after his return. Real Madrid finally played the unstoppable momentum of last season at home!
A 7: 1 bloodbath at Sporting Gijon!
At the moment when Van Der Vaart completed his hat-trick, he celebrated wildly at Bernabéu, welcoming the cheers of the fans. He stood under the spotlight with his chin held high, and his heart was filled with pride. Ambition was also growing rapidly!
He could also be the king of Bernabéu!
After the game, Van Der Vaart became the focus of the Spanish media.
"I really decided to join Real Madrid after the UEFA European Championship. Snede told me that the feeling of celebrating at the Plaza de la Reina was great. There were a million fans celebrating with the team. Before he finished, I was just like when I read the novel 'Goosebumps'. I couldn't wait to come to Real Madrid and fight side by side with him. My grandfather also told me the story of Stefano and Bosque. In the end, I finally joined Real Madrid. "
Van Der Vaart was exultant when he talked about his joining Real Madrid. It only took three months for him to completely integrate into the team. In the game against Sporting Gijon, he, who came to Bernabéu for 13 million euros, scored a hat-trick. In the past 10 years, no foreign player had been able to score three goals in a game in such a short time in their first season with Real Madrid. Van Der Vaart only took three months, and in fact, this was only his third league game for Real Madrid.
After this game, Van Der Vaart's four goals ranked him at the top of the La Liga goalscoring chart with Atletico Madrid's Pangler.
Wonderful, incredible. These were all words that could be used to describe Van Der Vaart's performance. He integrated into Real Madrid and adapted to La Liga at an astonishing speed. In the past 10 years, no new player had been able to score a hat-trick in their first season in such a short time.
"I can play on the left or the right. If necessary, I can also score in the penalty area."
Van Der Vaart summarized his characteristics concisely. There was no need for him to elaborate. Bosque understood that he was the player he needed, especially when Qin Xiong, Snede, Guti, and Gago were all injured. Van Der Vaart was the trump card he had to rely on!
