In the new round of La Liga matches, Real Madrid defeated Espanyol cleanly with a score of 2-0 at the Bernabeu Stadium, not only continuing the strong start of the new season, but also intertwined milestones, teamwork and small-scale controversy in this game, becoming one of the focus topics of La Liga in recent times.
The significance of this victory is far beyond the "three-point account". In addition to helping Real Madrid consolidate its top position, it also created many moments worth remembering. From a team perspective, coach Xavi Alonso became the 11th coach in La Liga history to win all the first five games, and is also the third coach in Real Madrid's history to achieve this achievement after Quirrant (1928/29 season) and Luxenberg (04/05 season). This data is enough to prove that he has achieved rapid transformation of the team after taking office.
From the perspective of player performance, Mbappe contributed a wonderful long-range shot in the game, becoming the key pusher for the team to score. After the game, he was elected the best player of this game by the official La Liga selection without any suspense, interpreting his core value with his strength; goalkeeper Courtois ushered in an important milestone in his personal La Liga career - he won the 200th league victory. Looking back on his career, he won 64 wins in 111 games and won 136 wins in 205 games after joining Real Madrid. Among them, the 13 wins against Espanyol were only less than the 14 wins against Celta. His steady performance has always been the "stabilizing needle" of Real Madrid's defense line. The victory of the
game is inseparable from the concerted efforts of the team. After the game, Real Madrid captain Carvajal also shared his feelings. He admitted that he was "very satisfied" with the result and believed that the team performed very comprehensively in this game, especially on the defensive end, he almost did not give his opponent too much opportunity to put pressure on his opponent. "We know that our opponents have scored 10 of 12 points in the opening stage. They are organized and full of fighting spirit. They can defeat such opponents, which further highlights the value of this victory."
Cavajal also praised the team's league start: "This is no longer a good start. We not only got the results we wanted, but more importantly, we can increasingly understand the coach's tactical intentions and better grasp the game concept. This is crucial to the next schedule."
coach Alonso interpreted the game from a more macro perspective at the post-match press conference. When talking about victory, he believed that the team played "stable", and overall orderly, stable and calm. "Maybe there is still some creativity in the offensive third zone and failed to create more opportunities, but the players are serious and not in trouble. This victory can help us continue to grow. Now we need to turn our attention to Tuesday's game."
In addition, Alonso also responded to the lineup return issue that fans are concerned about - the comeback of Bellingham and Camavenga, in his opinion "is good news for everyone": "First of all, it is not easy for the players themselves. After a long recovery, it is not easy for the team to return to the court. Secondly, for the team, we need these top players, the schedule is dense next, and more lineup choices can allow us to better deal with challenges."
However, a small episode also appeared in this smooth victory. Vinicius was dissatisfied when he was replaced. In the 77th minute of the game, when he saw his number on the substitution card, Vinicius threw away the water bottle in his hand on the spot, raised his arms to express his complaint, and was then replaced by Rodrigo. After the game, Alonso also explained this: "He only lacked a goal today. In fact, he and Mastantono were in good shape at the time, but I think changing to the wing force can better control the rhythm of the game. Maybe I switched a little too early..." He also expressed his understanding of the players' emotions: "Mastantono also had emotions when he left the game, and all players would do this. I am satisfied with their performance in this game. After all, the season is very long, and we need to rotate reasonably to keep the team energetic."
, and "As" further reported that this matter was not accidental - Alonso had previously hinted that there was a problem with Vinicius before the game. Vinicius not only failed to score in this game, but also hit a goal post. In addition, the previously disclosed contract renewal negotiations broke down, "As every game passed, Vinicius' situation is becoming more and more complicated."
It is worth mentioning that this game also witnessed a warm return moment - Kamavenga made a debut at the last moment of the game and completed her comeback after five months of absence. The young player suffered hamstring and ankle injuries this year. The last time he played for Real Madrid was dated back to April. After the game, he specially posted his game photos on social media, with the caption: "After five months of difficult times, I am very happy to finally step onto the turf of the world's best stadium - and win. Come on Real Madrid." The simple words are full of joy after recovery and a sense of belonging to the team.
A 2-0 victory includes both the team and individual milestone breakthroughs, as well as the deep reflection of tactics and collaboration, and it is also mixed with small controversy and warm return. This is not only a microcosm of Real Madrid's strong start in the new season, but also allows fans to see the team's multiple appearances at the competitive and humanistic levels, and also makes people look forward to their performance in the subsequent schedule.
