[ps: Since the leaflet has not been sent out, let's say it again. Although I am late, I still wish all fans a happy new year!Wishing you all the best in the new year! 】

With the players returning to the team, the entire football market gradually became hot.First of all, the most attractive thing for fans is the odds of the winner of the new season's various events formulated by the gaming company.

As the club's highest honor, the UEFA Champions League is naturally the favorite event for gamblers to bet on.This event is not like the league where there are only a few competing clubs. In addition to strength, it also requires luck. All major European giants are likely to win the championship.If you win the bet, the benefits are absolutely terrifying.

Of course, the odds given by the bookmakers are all based on strength, and the first rank is naturally Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, and Chelsea, the four strongest teams in today's football.Among them, the defending champion Barcelona and its slight advantage ranked first, and although Real Madrid was eliminated in the top [-] last year, it is still regarded as the favorite to win the championship in the new season, second only to the deadly enemy Barcelona.

"As the emperor of football and with a superstar like Gago, it is incredible to rank Real Madrid in second place, and you must know that the venue for this season's Champions League final is the Bernabeu. The feat of winning the championship, Madrid's stars will definitely go all out. So, it is normal to rank Real Madrid ahead of last year's runner-up Manchester United."

The second-tier teams are Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and AC Milan.Liverpool has always been sluggish in the league, and the cup is booming. Although they have been eliminated by Chelsea for two consecutive years, Benitez's name as the master of the cup is still loud.

As the conscience of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich's performance last year is not bad, and the number of stars recruited is no less than that of any giant.Last year's Champions League defeat, more fans believe that Klinsmann's coaching experience is not enough, this year's Bundesliga class bully invited "Louis King" Van Gaal, and the form of winning the championship is also instantly bullish.

The Milan duo can be ranked second by two people, Inter Milan relies on Mourinho, and AC Milan relies on Kaka.No matter how the Serie A declines, the foundation is still there, especially these two giants with a glorious past.

And the teams after these two grades are soy sauce, and no one will bet except for the kind of real gamblers.

After watching the Champions League, the gamblers turned their attention to the league again. Among them, the Premier League has a lot of heroes, but in general, Manchester United ranks first. Ronaldo is still in the Red Devils, plus the old and strong Ferguson, Ferguson, who has once again completed three consecutive Premier League titles, is very likely to complete his first four consecutive league titles in his coaching career.

After last season, La Liga has completely become a duo between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Like Manchester United, the Blancos, who have completed three consecutive league titles, are likely to continue to create their own brilliance this year.However, Barcelona, ​​which only narrowly finished second last year, should not be underestimated.

The Bundesliga is undoubtedly Bayern Munich, just as Serie A is undoubtedly Inter Milan.The Ligue [-] is more interesting. Last year, Bordeaux turned out to destroy Lyon's dream of eight consecutive championships.

The end of the seven consecutive championships naturally made Lyon's chairman Aulas extremely angry. After retaining Benzema this year, this famous European black shop rarely opened its pockets and spent 250 million euros to collect Lisandro, Gomi, Bastos, Sissoko and other players have been eliminated, and they are ready to regain their throne in the new season.

After watching the five major leagues and the Champions League, the major giants have also completed their pre-season warm-ups.

Among them, the performance of Real Madrid is the most eye-catching. They played against Shamrock Rovers, Al Ittihad, Liga University, Juventus, Toronto, Washington United, Real Sociedad, Borussia Dortmund and Rosenborg. undefeated record.

The only draw was a 2:2 tie with Juventus. The central defenders of Heinze and Albiol had too little time to cooperate and lacked tacit understanding. The two conceded goals were due to coordination errors.

However, when dealing with poor teams, Real Madrid can rely on their own extremely powerful offense to overwhelm the opponent.The newly joined Silva used three warm-up games to perfectly conquer the Bernabeu fans. In the first three warm-up games, he sent a perfect performance of one goal and three assists, even better than the core Gago.

And Mata's performance is a bit inferior, the three first warm-up matches only sent one assist, but Real Madrid fans are always tolerant of their children, and the applause for Mata is no less than Silva.

And Gago started all the nine warm-up games, but he played as a midfielder in three games, a left winger in three games, and a center forward in three games, and he was replaced at halftime every time. In the warm-up match, he only scored two goals and contributed two assists.This worries the fans who are accustomed to Gago's goals and assists, thinking that the state of their core has declined.

On the contrary, Sneijder showed a better state than Gago in the warm-up match. Every time he replaced Gago in the second half, he contributed four assists and one goal in the attacking midfielder position. The position of left midfielder also scored two goals and sent two assists.

"Perfect Wesley, in these nine warm-up matches, I almost thought that No. 10 was the core of Real Madrid, not No. 5!"

"Daily Sports Daily" will naturally not let go of this opportunity to provoke turmoil in the Real Madrid locker room. If there is an infighting between the largest Spanish department in the Real Madrid locker room and the second Dutch gang, the strength of the Blancos will definitely drop by one. Grade, which is certainly the best thing for Barcelona.

However, Schuster continued to support Gago in front of the media. After all, Sneijder's outstanding performance was only temporary, while Gago lasted for three years. The Germans had a very clear idea of ​​who to support.

"Fair participated in the Confederations Cup this summer, and his physical exertion is relatively high. It is understandable that he is not in good condition. Moreover, I have been adapting to the new position in the warm-up match and let him play. It is normal for him not to get used to it. If he plays the attacking midfielder in every friendly match, the goals and assists will definitely increase by more than three times!"

But even though Schuster said so, in the first round of the Spanish Super Cup before the season, Sneijder was sent as the attacking midfielder as the offensive core of the frontcourt.Against Athletic Bilbao, Sneijder showed the style of a midfield commander, orchestrating the first goal, and it was he who used a free kick when Llorente pulled it back in the second half The opportunity to assist Robben to overtake the score.

In the end, Real Madrid won the first round of the Super Cup in the devil-like away game of Athletic Bilbao, which can basically be said to be the first championship.

And Sneijder's outstanding performance in the first round made some media who are not used to Real Madrid's excellent record in recent years start to stir up trouble.

The Catalan media headed by "Daily Sport" and "Mundo Deportivo" in conjunction with the media of the Netherlands encouraged Real Madrid to let Sneijder be the core and let the sluggish Gago sit on the bench for a while.

"After three years of high light, the Argentine finally started to bear the pain of training and began to enjoy the good times. He was the last to arrive at the team at the beginning of the season, completely indulging in the Mediterranean holiday. Previously Ge is one of the most hard-working players in Real Madrid, but this season he is lazy and in a mess in the preparations for the preseason. He can't compare with Wesley at all. If I were Schuster, I must Let the Argentine sit on the bench and reflect for a while, maybe this will allow him to get back to his omnipotent state."

Regarding the instigation of the Catalan media, Real Madrid fans will naturally not be fooled. "Marca" and "Aspen" satirize them for being nosy, let's deal with their own locker room first.

Last year, Messi always wanted to play as a center forward. As one of the most scoring machines in Barcelona's history, Eto'o naturally refused to bow his head and give way to Messi.Although Messi didn't make a sound, Eto'o, who was not very good-tempered, couldn't sit still under the impetus of caring people like "Marca" and "Aspen".He began to frequently use his big mouth to say things that shouldn't be said in front of the media.

And these words forced Guardiola to make a choice, whether to want Messi or Eto'o, this was originally a very simple matter.With Messi's personality, it is impossible to take the initiative to grab the center position while Eto'o is still on the team.But Eto'o is not the kind of big-bellied temperament, not as resistant as Gago, and finally forced himself and the La Masia faction in the Barcelona locker room to become angry.

In the end, before the summer transfer market closed, Inter Milan announced the introduction of "Cheetah" Eto'o from Barcelona at a price of 3000 million euros.

In the end, Guardiola chose Messi very wisely and sent away his favorite Eto'o, allowing Mourinho to pick up a big deal for nothing.If it were at another time, 3000 million euros could only buy one leg of Eto'o.

The Catalan media gritted their teeth at the "Marca" and "Aspen" designs that made Barcelona force Eto'o away, so they wanted to provoke the core dispute between Sneijder and Gago I am more attentive.

It's just that the second round of the Spanish Super Cup at the Bernabéu completely shattered their plans. This time Gago started and Sneijder sat on the bench.

The Argentine king's assists in No.11 minutes, No.308 minutes and No.609 minutes helped Real Madrid easily beat Athletic Bilbao at home 3:0.The performance of the hat-trick of assists shattered all doubts about his state. Compared with the difficult victory when Sneijder was the core of the last game, this victory can be said to be extremely easy.

In the midfield, Gago is omnipotent in the face of several people's double-teaming, breaking through and passing the ball directly. His light, elegant, simple and elegant movements made all the fans scream.

"Wesley can make the team win, but Fernando can make the team win!"

In the south stand of the Bernabeu, this huge flag let everyone know who is the core of Real Madrid.
