Chapter 12 La Liga Heroes

Barcelona's biggest enemy in Spanish football is still Real Madrid. Last season's luxurious purchase of star players such as Mauro and Kaka only grabbed the King's Cup championship, but failed to regain the league championship as desired. Although they reached the final in the Champions League, they lost to Digan in the end. Real Madrid is a very embarrassing result for Florentino, who wants to build a new galactic battleship.

So Pellegrini is out of class, and Florentino has always admired Mourinho to come to Bernabeu. Real Madrid in the new season will never be willing to continue to submit to Barcelona in the league, and a large number of personnel will be cleaned and supplemented.

After burning money last season, Real Madrid's action in the transfer market in the new season is obviously much smaller, and the highest transfer fee is only 25 million euros for Benfica's Argentine defender Di Maria.

In terms of local rookie, Real Madrid made two very good deals. Canales has been ordered in advance by Real Madrid for his excellent performance at Santander Athletic last season. The price of 6 million is simply a penny, and right-back Pedro Leon, who also performed well in Getafe last season, also sold for 10 million. When Ge came to Real Madrid, German star Khedira transferred with the aftermath of the World Cup at a price of 14 million, which made Real Madrid's lineup in the back position look bloated.

After the transformation of the defense line, Real Madrid signed Mourinho's old subordinate Carvalho from Chelsea, so that Ramos will return to the right. Just as people thought that Real Madrid's summer transfer would end here, Real Madrid signed a contract for 1,500 with one year left in the World Cup. The colorful Ozil.

With the arrival of Mourinho, the captains Raul and Guti left one after another. Except for Florentino, there is only one authority here, Mourinho, and all players have to serve his tactics, even Golden Mave.

In the new season, he will no longer play center in Mourinho's tactics, but retreat to the sidelines. In Mourinho's tactics, he pays attention to defense, so Real Madrid's weak defense will be significantly improved. Casillas is a strong guarantee for the final barrier. Ramos is the first choice of right-backs, Pepe, Albiol, Cava It will slightly compete for the positions of the two main centre-backs. Left-back is the position that Mourinho wants to transform most. Marcelo's defense is too poor, and Abeloa's assists are not good. If he wants to complete the renovation of the defense line, Real Madrid needs to continue to strengthen this position.

In terms of midfield, Alonso will be the absolute candidate for the main midfielder, and the other defensive midfielder will be occupied by the new Khedira, while Gago and Lars. If Diara stays, he can strengthen the depth of the bench.

Whether in Porto, Chelsea or Inter Milan, Mu Bird's team has a large range of midfielders, and the destruction and interception of the midfield is crucial to the protection of the defense line.

In the other front waist position, if Kaka can't play, it will be compete with Ozil and Canales, but Mourinho's front waist is also very demanding. He doesn't need that kind of aura, but a comprehensive engineering front waist, thin Ozil and young Canales, and even Kakaneng Whether to adapt to Mourinho's tactical requirements is still unknown. Once they don't perform well, Granero, who can attack and defend, may have a chance.

And the two sides will be Kim and Di Maria, but people are not very optimistic about Di Maria, who shines in the World Cup. His body is too thin and his vision is not wide enough. Before his trip to Bernabeu has begun, he has been regarded as a smuggled by many people. .

The main force in the center position is still Higuain, who has a very high scoring efficiency. Benzema substituted or played on the sidelines, but Mourinho also wanted a high striker. Real Madrid had been pursuing Digan before, but in the end, Digan joined Real Madrid's old enemy Barcelona, which made Mourinho very sorry. Now, he You can only turn your eyes to others.

Judging from the configuration of Real Madrid and Mourinho's tactical system, Real Madrid will not be as good as last season in attack. Kimuro may be sacrificed some goals, but there will be a significant improvement in the defensive system.

With a long season of multi-line combat, Real Madrid's bench depth will give Mourinho a lot of choice. Real Madrid's goal in the new season is still to regain the league championship, but in the face of Barcelona with Degan, it is not easy for Real Madrid to achieve this goal.

In addition to Real Madrid, the biggest opponent, there are several other teams in Spanish football that cannot be ignored. In recent seasons, Seville has performed the best.

Sevilla has achieved very good results in recent seasons, both in the league and in Europe. In recent years, the shrewd chairman Ernido has sold the team's Alves, Keita and other stars, which have obtained considerable economic benefits, and at the same time bought some powerful players cheaply to replace them. , ensuring the balance of the team's lineup.

However, in the three-line battle in Seville last season, the lack of bench depth and the abnormal performance of key games allowed them to be eliminated by the Moscow Central Army in the Champions League. Due to the poor record, coach Himmernes was dismissed, and assistant coach Alvarez took over the coach. In the last round of the league, they were lucky to squeeze out Mallorca. Obtaining the qualification for the Champions League has continued the strength of Seville in recent years.

The first choice of Sevilla's tactical choice in the new season should still be 442, and 451 when it encounters a strong team. Of course, Sevilla's attack has always been driven by two sharp sides to launch a rapid advance.

In terms of the team lineup, the goalkeepers are still captain Palope, right-back Conco and left-back Fernando. Navarro, central defender Escude can also play left-back, another French central defender Skillachi may transfer to Arsenal, Argentina's tall central defender Fazio and the elderly Deragutinovic and newcomer Cala as a substitute. The new French defender Dabo can play on both sides, and it will also be for Sevilla. A good supplement.

In terms of midfield, the midfielder Zocola focuses on defense, Renato's offensive and defensive balance, Romanric and the newly joined Italian midfielder Guarente is better at organizing, and the two wings are still the source of Sevilla's attack. Navas on the right and Perotti on the left are both fast and good at breaking through and killing. Capel and on loan Italian midfielder Chigalini can play both sides.

On the forward line, Brazilian striker Fabiano has been in a rumored transfer in the summer, and finally chose to stay. Canute, who is loved by fans, will be 33 years old, but he is still in excellent condition.

This season, Sevilla's more practical goal is to ensure the top four of the league. It is indeed difficult to achieve this goal, but Sevilla's achievements in recent years are obvious to all. At least in the league, it is necessary to ensure the qualification for the Champions League, which is based on Sevilla's stability in recent years. It should not be a problem. If they play well, they should be the most capable team to attack Barcelona and Real Madrid.

In addition to Seville, Valencia, a former La Liga giant, also has the opportunity and strength to challenge Barcelona and Real Madrid. This summer, Valencia sold the team's core Silva to alleviate the financial crisis and sent away two old heroes, Macenna and Baraja. The Bat Legion began a new blood exchange. .

It was a surprise that Villa finally stayed. At the same time, it also introduced former Real Madrid striker Soldado, and the team also introduced Montabilier's Argentine front waistband Tino. Costa came as a replacement for Silva.

Last season, Soldado still scored 20 goals after two months of injury in Getafe, showing the efficiency of the striker, and he will challenge Beria's main position in the new season.

And Tino. Costa has performed well in Ligue 1 in the past two seasons. His free kicks and assists are excellent. He is the replacement for Silva in the back midfield position, but he has not played his own level in the warm-up match.

For Valencia, which won the third place in the league last season, after the team sold a number of core players for exchange, the goal in the new season's goal in the league is to keep the European qualification, the top six of the league and the top four of the sprint league, and strive to qualify for the group stage in the Champions League.

Valencia's head coach Emery focused on the new 433 in the summer warm-up match, with two wings Mata and Pablo in the original 4231 tactics. Hernandez's position will increase the scoring points in advance. The center needs to withdraw frequently to take the ball and plug in from the back to enjoy two-wing passes. The midfielder is a defensive midfielder with an organized back and an attacking front waist.

In terms of the team's lineup, goalkeeper Cesar, right-back Bruno, Miguel substitute, central defender captain David. Navarro and Alexis, Portuguese international Riccado. Costa and the midfielder Maduro, who can serve as a central defender, are rotated and Dilport is a substitute. The main left-back is Matthew, a Frenchman who performed well last season. Del Orno continues to be loaned to Levante, and left winger Alba will be transformed into a substitute for left-back.

In terms of midfield, veteran Alberta will still be the first choice for defensive midfielders, and Turkish midfielder Topal still needs time to adapt to the rhythm of La Liga. Barega, who performed well last season, will become the core of Valencia's midfielder in the new season. His steals and organization are excellent. In the new season, he will take over Silva's No. 21 jersey. And Argentine front waist Tino with French nationality. Costa will occupy another position in the midfield, with more retreat and defense when playing 433. If you play 4231, the Argentine Domingos can hit the waist. On the right side of both wings is Pablo, who has a good shot. Hernandez, on the left is Mata, who is good at breaking through and grabbing points. Huakin and Vicente, who wear No. 7, serve as substitutes for the two wings respectively, and the center main force Villa or Soldado.

As a traditional giant in Spanish football, Atletico Madrid, although its performance in previous years is difficult to be satisfactory, there has been a strong recovery in recent seasons.

This summer, Atletico Madrid still brought in two important defensive players, Luis of Raco, with limited funds. Felipe and Gordin, the main central defender of the Uruguay national team from Villarreal, their arrival will improve the problem that Atletico Madrid has been defending badly.

Portuguese international Thiago, who was loaned from Juventus last season, has adapted well to the team and performed well in the World Cup. In the new season, he will continue to play for the Bedsheet Legion on loan.

The other transfers are very cost-effective deals for young players with great potential. Merida, who made a free transfer from Arsenal, bought back Mario, who performed well in Mallorca last season. Suarez and Brazilian striker Diego in Valladolide. Costa, Uruguay's striker Fran, who performed well in the World Cup, also stayed, which is good news for Atletico Madrid.

Atletico's performance in the league last season made its overrated fans a little disappointed. Their unstable performance and poor defense affected their performance and ended up in eighth place in the league.

In the new season, Atletico Madrid has increased its investment in remodeling the rear defense, aiming to attack the top three of the league, core player Diego. Fran's excellent performance in the World Cup also made fans have higher expectations for the Bedlet Legion.

But for Atletico Madrid, how to get rid of the unstable problem and improve the good defensive system is the problem that coach Flores needs to solve.

In terms of the lineup, the young goalkeeper De Gea saved a penalty in his debut against Zaragoza in the league last year. After Flores took office, he has been occupying the position of the main goalkeeper, while the former main goalkeeper Asenhor was seriously injured for five months and had to continue to wait for an opportunity on the bench after recovering from his injury. It is also a happy worry to have two young and potential goalkeepers at the same time.

The right-back will be replaced by Czech international Digan's former teammate Uyfarusi, who was replaced by Varela, and the two main central defenders are Godin and Alvaro. Domingos, Colombian defender Louis, who made a lot of mistakes last season. Perea and veteran Huanito served as substitutes. The main left-back is the new Brazilian Luis. Felipe, and the original captain Antonio. Lopez will play as a substitute, and he has a good free kick.

In the midfield, the choice of double midfield will be Paul. Asunsan and Tiago, the former are defensive, the latter is both offensive and defensive, and Mario. Suares and young Ignacio. Camacho can take turns. The main force on the right side of the two sides is Reyes, and Merida, a versatile young player on the left, will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

The main force on the strike line is still the partner of Fran and Aguero, Brazilian striker Diego. Costa served as a substitute.

The strength of Villarreal, which once caused a sensation in European football, should not be underestimated. After sending away three veterans, Pires, Ibagasa and Wenta, and cheaply transferring center forward Lorente and midfielder Egulen, the yellow submarine continued to change blood and sold the team's main central defender Godin.

In terms of introducing players, they are either on loan or free transfers. In short, what they do is a careful business and maintain a financial balance.

In terms of the team lineup, the main goalkeeper is still Diego. Lopez, right-back Angel, central defender Gonzalo. Rodriguez and new star Musaquio, left-back Capdevilla, Joan. Oriol served as a substitute. Substitute defender Katara can play multiple positions in the back.

The main midfielder is Bruno. Soriano, former international Cena, will gradually fade out of the main lineup due to aging and injury, but his experience is still a valuable asset for the team. Carney sits on the left side of the middle road, while Cassoura is responsible for breaking through on the right side.

The forward line is Nielma and Giuseppe. Rossi, they have been selected to their respective national teams at a young age, American striker Altitore and Marco, a new Argentine star promoted by the second team. Reuben served as a substitute.

Although many veterans have gone and young players have been used, which may affect their performance, the submarines in the new season may also give people a refreshing feeling.

There are also many teams that will play the role of spoilers in the new season, among which the most anticipated one is Maloka, which is filed for bankruptcy due to the serious financial crisis this summer and a debt of 60 million US dollars, including tennis superstar Nadal and current boss Serra. Several shareholders, including Ferrer, joined to save the hometown team.

However, UEFA still announced that Mallorca has been disqualified from participating in the UEFA Cup in the new season and replaced by Villarreal. Although it is in a deep financial crisis, Mallorca has maintained a stable ranking in the middle and upper reaches of La Liga in recent seasons. Last season, they almost even qualified for the Champions League, the most After that, he won the fifth place in the league.

In the new season, Mallorca sold many more main players in the team, including the striker Adulis and the midfielder Mario. Suarez, a midfielder Borja, who performed well on loan from West Bromwich Albion. Barrero didn't stay either.

In the summer, they only signed former Lako's Canadian midfielder for free from Feyenoord. Guzman, it is rumored that Rivaldo will return to La Liga to join Mallorca, but in the end, there is no sound.

Former head coach Manzano also announced that he had left the team. Fortunately, they appointed former Getafe coach Mikkel. Laudrup as the head coach has played a role in stabilizing the army. Laudrup led the team to achieve good results when coaching Getafe two years ago. For Mallorca, who sells the main force every year but still achieves good results, the serious financial crisis will make the club's situation in the new season more complicated.

After the development of recent years, Getafe has gradually developed from a weak team that has been relegated every year to an important force in Spanish football. In the new season, the team's top scorer Soldado and the right-wing sharp knife Pedro have been sold. Leon has brought 20 million in revenue, which can guarantee the financial stability of small clubs like Getafe economically.

In terms of introducing players, only 2.5 million was spent from Vilva to buy striker Kolenga to replace Soldado, and the rest of the transfers were free agents and loan.

Since rising to the first level, Getafe has been playing the role of a dark horse. They have made Bayern suffer in the UEFA Cup. Even in the face of La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, they are not at a downside.

Reasonable tactics, teamwork, tenacious style, smooth cooperation, so that every opponent dares not despise it. In terms of team building, Getafe can be regarded as a model for small clubs.

Can't buy players without money?

Don't you see so many potential young players in the same city?

All they need is to exercise and show their opportunities, so Granero, De Lared, Soldado, Miguel. Torres, Codina, Barrjo and other people who can't play football in Real Madrid have come. There is no problem with adaptation at all, which is equivalent to changing clothes to play La Liga and there is no pressure.

In the second year of good performance, they were sold back to the eldest brother and asked for some processing fees to make a living. The life was like this, and it was very moist, as if it had become the eldest brother's satellite club. As the saying goes, the feet of the emperor is easy to enjoy the cool.

As a member of Real Madrid, Hetafe President Ángel. Torres does have a shrewd business philosophy, attaches importance to the training of young local players, and buys some powerful players cheaply. The low-level operation not only brings rich economic benefits to the club, but also allows the team to deliver excellent results on the basis of relegation.

Of course, this also has something to do with the appointment of several excellent head coaches, except Victor. Muñoz almost led the team to relegation, and several other head coaches, Kik. Flores, Schuster and Mikkel. Laudrup led Getafe to achieve good results, and the first two took this bridge to step into a rich family like Valencia and Real Madrid.

The current head coach, former Real Madrid legend Michel, also inherited his predecessors and led Getafe to the sixth place in the league last season.

For Getafe, their league results may be affected by participating in the UEFA Europa League in the new season. It should not be very difficult for them to target the top eight in the league and strive to qualify for the European game next season.

When it comes to the Spanish club, we can't help mentioning Athletic Bilbao. As a veteran strong team that has never been relegated in La Liga, it has won eight La Liga championships in history. The iron-blooded Basque is famous for its fierce style, tough playing style and tenacious fighting spirit, coupled with the momentum of San Mames, the home court of hell, Many teams are scared when they come here.

The team adheres to its tradition, attaches importance to youth training, uses only Basques, and refuses to introduce any foreign aid. The only exception is Hamalillo, the first young foreign black player introduced by the team.

The team's attention to the youth training camp, cultivation concept and caring atmosphere are the only ones that can be comparable to the Lamacia youth training camp. In the new season, Echeberia and Armado retired, and the old captains Jest and Muñoz left the team, and their strength has declined, but the retirement and departure of the veterans just gave young players. Long space, two international players Harvey who participated in the World Cup. Martinez and Lerrent will be the core of the team's attack.

The rise of new forces is thought to be the weakening of some old forces. A Coruña is basically a benchmark. In the new season, the economic crisis of A Coruña has not been completely escaped, and Chairman Londoiro still makes a living by selling people.

For sale Louis. Felipe brought some income to Atletico. Sergio, the team's veteran, left when his contract expired. Former La Liga golden boot Mista and Mexican striker Bravo went to the Major League Baseball to search for gold. Equatorial Guinea striker Bodip was loaned to the Romanian team. The departure of several big names also reduced Raco's salary burden. The players transferred are all free agents and loaners, and the new season's Raco is still basically wandering in the middle of the league.

The Spaniard is also a traditional strong team in Spanish football. In the new season, with the departure of the old captain Tamudo, his replacement will be the former Spanish international Sergio from Betis to return to Catalans. Garcia, his arrival is expected to improve the Spanish attack on the weak front line. Argentine Pareha was sold on the defensive line at a high price of 10 million, and his compatriot Flynn will become the core of the defensive line.

In the midfield, Moise and Harvey, a rookie who performed well last season. Max forms a double back, Berthoud and Kalejon, Louis. Garcia formed the main starting point of the front-court attack, with Little Buddha de la Pena as a substitute. His free kicks and direct passes can help the team. Former Argentine international Datolo, who came on loan from Naples, can increase the strength of the Spanish midfield.

Oswaldo will stay with Sergio on the striker line. Garcia, Ivan. Alonso competes for the position of the main striker.

The remaining teams are afraid to fight for relegation in the new season. Almeria has been a little lower in the middle of La Liga since they were promoted to the First Division in 2007.

Under the ** of former head coach Emery, the civilian team survived the troubled times of La Liga with its tenacious playing style and stable home results.

Almeria's introduction is mainly to buy some potential foreign aid from South America at a low price, looking for powerful local middle-generation players, Melo, Negredo, Bruno and other star players who shine here and then enter the big team. This year, they sold the team's main defender Chico.

New season head coach Hugo. Sanchez will lead Almeria to continue to play steadily and strive to give satisfactory answers to the fans.

Osasuna is located in the Greater Basque district like Athletic Bilbao, but unlike Athletic Bilbao, which insists on using Basque players, the club has introduced a large number of foreign aid. It has been wandering between relegation and dark horses in the past few seasons, and has been stable and improved in the past two seasons.

Last season, striker Portillo was terminated, and in the summer, they sold the quasi-Spanish international's main right-back Aspiquita and goalkeeper Roberto. Introducing Real Socied goalkeeper Resgo, Betis' former Barcelona right-back Damia, and Almeria's midfielder Fernando. Soriano and Red Star Belgrade's Serbian striker Lekic, the team's strength has not changed much, and head coach Camacho can lead the team to maintain a relatively stable result in the middle of the league.

Since its promotion to the first division in 2008, it has been extremely successful for two consecutive seasons and has won the favor of many neutral fans with the style of daring to fight against their opponents in the league. Either you die or I die. Xihong Sports rarely gets a draw.

In the new season, they signed two former Barcelona players Novo and Botia, as well as Villarreal's Uruguayan midfielder Egulen, whose goal is to get rid of the threat of relegation.

As a traditional force in Spanish football, it is difficult to be satisfied with the performance of Atletico Santander in recent seasons. Last season, Santander was thrilling to be relegated, rookie Canales went to Real Madrid, defender Oriole also left, and the team is still a free agent on loan in the transfer market.

Brazilian central defender Enrique continues to play on loan, and Adrian, the son of Getafe coach Michel. Gonzalez pitched freely, and the team's lineup has not changed much.

In fact, with the strength of Atletico Santander, if you play well, you can still reach the middle end. This team pays attention to the defense of the overall team. Korsa and Lassan sit in the back, and the two sides use speed to fight back. Serrano, Alana and Munitis are all good players to break through on the side, and they also have good scoring ability. Of course, at present, the team's top priority in the new season is to relegation.

After Zaragoza returned to La Liga, his action was not very big. The only two signings were to buy out the Italian defender Contini, who was loaned last season, for 2 million, and signed the former Argentine goalkeeper Franco for free. Their goal in the new season is still to fight for relegation.

Mara was almost relegated in the season. In the new season, the team recruited several foreign aids from South America to enhance their strength. Their goal in the new season is only two words: relegation.

The royal society that once rippled in La Liga has long lost its courage. In 2007, the royal society was demoted, and the one that once owned Pedro, Harvey. The royal society of Alonso, Nihat and Kovacevich has long been stuck in the memory of fans.

After three years, they returned to the first division, and the Basque derby in the new season will add more highlights. This summer, they successfully signed the high striker Youseva of the yellow submarine at a low price. Lorente, veteran of the Spanish team, Raul. Tamudo also threw freely, and the strength of the front line increased greatly. In the new season, they need to do a good job in defense and strive for relegation in order to achieve unexpected results and play the role of a dark horse.

Hegurez, this promoted horse is very strange to many people, but the team's name is very good, which means Hercules, and the boss is also willing to invest. He signed the Paraguayan striker Valdes for the World Cup from Dortmund, the free former Real Madrid striker Portillo, and Getafe's right-back Cortez. Cameroon defender Sal and some other players, the goal of Hegures in the new season is to relegation.

After Levante was relegated a few years ago, he has risen again. In the summer, he signed many free agents to increase the team's strength. Raco's back veteran Sergio, submarine full-back veteran Vinta, Malaga's goalkeeper Munua, loaned to the Spanish midfielder Bardo, and Malaga's midfielder Harvey. Torres, and left-back Del Orno and midfielder Nacho from Big Brother Valencia. Gonzalez. In short, the first-class team does not want to abandon the generals, and the players who can't play the main force are all for our use, and strive to use their experience and motivation to help the team avoid relegation.

The curtain of the new season of La Liga is about to open, and all the giants have made the final preparations, waiting for the start of the season to show their skills.
