Van Der Vaart's ability to score was vividly illustrated in the battle of sweeping Gihon.
In the 18th minute, after receiving Raúl's header, Van Der Vaart entered the penalty area at the right time and shot directly with his left foot. Gihon manager Bresciado admitted after the game, "This goal changed the whole game."
The good show was not over yet. The second goal was even more exciting.
In the 33rd minute, Raúl passed from the left. Van Der Vaart flashed to the front and juggled the ball with his heel into the net. The commentator exclaimed, "This goal can lock in the best goal of the round in advance."
In the second half, Van Der Vaart's goal opened up a storm. He shot low from the edge of the penalty area into the far corner and completed his hat-trick.
Scoring goals was not all that Van Der Vaart could do. What made him the most comfortable was Bosque's new tactics. With Qin Xiong, Snede and Guti absent and de la Redla behind, Van Der Vaart did not need to occupy the side. Instead, he could direct the whole team in the middle and frequently send out threatening balls.
In the 51st minute, a straight pass like a scalpel helped Robben score.
After losing to Laco in the first game, Van Nistelrooy concluded that Real Madrid's forward line received too little support from his teammates and had to retreat to receive the ball. This point was acknowledged by the media.
Bosque elaborated on this issue. What if Qin Xiong and Guti were not present or restricted? How could they play the striker's power? The actual battle proved that playing three strikers like Santander was not possible. Giving the token to Van Der Vaart was the best choice.
On September 28th, in the fifth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Real Betis.
In this game, Real Madrid played until the last moment with Robben assisting Van Nistelrooy to perform a super last-second shot, helping the team to a narrow 2: 1 victory.
And the first goal of the game came from Van Der Vaart's free kick to assist Heinz to score.
After winning four consecutive league matches, the media summed up Real Madrid's performance in September with only one word!
Dutch Gang!
Robben, Van Der Vaart, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Snede who was about to return from his injury, and Drenthe who started to get more opportunities this season due to the lack of wingers, Real Madrid had never had so many Dutch players, and it must be admitted that the Dutch players were the biggest contributors to Real Madrid's consecutive victories in September!
From then on, the Brazilian gang that Calderón had personally dismembered two years ago was replaced by the Dutch gang. The situation in the changing room gradually changed from the local gang to the co-existence of the two gangs last season!
The momentum of the Dutch gang driving Real Madrid forward was unstoppable.
In the second game of the Champions League group stage against Zenit St. Petersburg, Van Der Vaart made the opponent's own goal with a cross from the bottom of the right wing, and created chaos in front of the goal with a volley before the end of the first half, and Ruud van Nistelrooy scored with a rebound shot.
Real Madrid won six consecutive league matches and Champions League matches!
After defeating Zenit 2: 1, Real Madrid did not seem to fall in the difficult world. Instead, the Dutch gang carried the honor of Real Madrid and faced the difficulties head-on!
However, the thickness of the lineup and the impact of injuries caused the team to be easily tired after consecutive games. In the sixth round of the league, Real Madrid returned to La Liga from the Champions League. Real Madrid was forced to a 2: 2 draw with RCD Espanyol at the Bernabéu Stadium. Snede's comeback did not help the team to win, and Raúl's brace could not turn the tide.
For Real Madrid, which had achieved brilliant results last season, it was no longer just a loss that would cause a stir. Even a draw would set off the media's condemnation in speech and in writing and huge attention.
Everything was because this team was too perfect last season!
On Monday night, the elites of the Spanish football world gathered at the Ritz Hotel in Madrid to attend the 2007-2008 La Liga (B) awards ceremony organized by Marca.
Qin Xiong, who had not appeared for a long time, attracted the media's attention as soon as he got out of the car with his pregnant wife, Sylvia, outside the Ritz Hotel in a suit and leather shoes.
Qin Xiong politely waved to the media and fans. Immediately, there were reporters at the scene who asked questions loudly, hoping to get a response from Qin Xiong.
"May I ask when will you make a comeback?"
"Has Van Der Vaart replaced your position in Real Madrid?"
"Why didn't you sign a contract extension with Real Madrid? Are you dissatisfied with the club's priority to bring in Ronaldo this summer? "
.....
In the face of the media reporters' questions, Qin Xiong smiled. It went in one ear and out the other. He greeted everyone and walked into the Ritz Hotel holding Sylvia's hand.
Calderón would naturally attend today's event. There were not only the players, but also the club's chairmen.
When he saw Qin Xiong arrive, Calderón walked up enthusiastically. He first asked about Sylvia's health with concern. After all, she was pregnant and was expected to give birth to a baby in two months.
Then he asked about Qin Xiong's recovery, and Qin Xiong said that everything was fine.
After the greetings were over, Calderón called Qin Xiong to a secluded place to sit down and said to Qin Xiong frankly, "Qin Xiong, there is no conflict between us, right?"
If it had been the Qin Xiong who played for Arsenal or Ajax, he would have spoken his true thoughts.
But he learned too much in Real Madrid because he heard, saw, and saw too many things that really happened. It was so many that people could no longer be naive and respond sincerely.
He shook his head and said with an impeccable smile, "No, I don't have any dissatisfaction with you, Mr. President."
Calderón's tone was slightly distressed as he asked, "Then are you not satisfied with the contract?"
Regarding the renewal of the contract, Qin Xiong's side had been delaying it again and again, which in Calderón's eyes was already abnormal.
Because Qin Xiong was injured!
Although he was not seriously injured, it was almost the same.
There were countless players, star players, and superstars who were ruined by injuries.
Who dared to say that Qin Xiong could return to his peak after he recovered?
Real Madrid offered him the highest salary in today's football world, which was already a great show of sincerity, and they were taking a great risk!
If Qin Xiong could not return to his peak after he recovered, then the investment that Real Madrid spent on him could have brought in a first-class star player in his prime!
But Calderón was willfully taking a risk!
Because Qin Xiong was his signboard, the king of the Temple who carried the king's flag after he entered Real Madrid!
Calderón did not regret doing so, but he did not understand why Qin Xiong refused to renew the contract.
And Qin Xiong did not show any intention of transferring to another club.
Qin Xiong looked at Calderón with a smile and said, "I think this is a major decision that needs to be carefully considered. You know, if I finish a five-year contract, I will be almost 30 years old."
