At 4 pm on January 6, the match between Real Madrid and Mallorca officially started. ()
In order to catch up with Barcelona, Real Madrid took the lead in attacking after the game began. Due to Kaka's arrival, Real Madrid's offense no longer relies on the left side.

Real Madrid's offensive was thrillingly, and after Mallorca tenaciously resisted their attack, he also launched a counterattack. In the 13th minute, forward Alango shot hard from the right side of the penalty area, and the football was saved by Casillas from the baseline.
In the 17th minute, Pereya made a cross from the left, and Giza scored a shot under the interference of Pepe. The football slid out of the baseline from the post, causing Real Madrid to sweat in a cold sweat.
As time goes by, Real Madrid gradually controlled the game with their strength advantages, and crises in front of Mallorca frequently occurred. In the 25th minute, Ribery made a cross from the left, and Tang Jue at the front point failed to touch the football under the interference of the opponent's defender. Henry, who was ambushed in the middle, was lucky to encounter the football. The football flew over Moya's left and drilled into the net!
The score became one to zero!
Real Madrid took the lead in breaking the goal away!
Henry's goal boosted the morale of Real Madrid players. In the following game, Real Madrid was as powerful as a rainbow. In the 37th minute, Ramos assisted and passed the football into the opponent's penalty area. Mallorca was in panic in the penalty area. After several collisions, the football suddenly rolled into the penalty area.
Sneider, outside the penalty area, took a step forward, waved his right leg, and shot with an angry shot. A white light shone through the cracks of the human beings, instantly flew over the goal line and into the net!

In the 12th minute of the second half, Real Madrid launched a sharp defensive counterattack. Kaka made a precise long pass in his heart and accurately found Tang Jue. After Tang Jue got the ball, he started from the left and broke through the defense of five opponents with a devastating momentum and entered the penalty area!
When facing goalkeeper Moya, his center of gravity suddenly turned right and he spared the ball with the football!
"Bang!..." With a crisp sound, the football flew into the empty gate!
Three to zero!
This is Tang Jue's first goal of the year!
The ball was too beautiful. After a brief silence, the St. Mois Stadium heard thunderous applause. The Mallorca players were dejected, knowing that the situation was hopeless. Shuai An began to substitution and replaced Tang Jue, Henry and Ribery one after another.
In the 37th minute of the second half, Higuain, who came on the bench, successfully scored the point in front of the goal and expanded the score to four-to-zero. In the end, Real Madrid defeated Mallorca with a 4-0 away score and took three points at the Santa Mois Stadium. After this round of matches, the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is still four points, and Real Madrid is still catching up.
A week later, La Liga ushered in the last round of the winter break. Real Madrid was at home, facing Osasuna, who lost to Barcelona at home in the last game. Barcelona's opponent was La Coruña.
Unlike the previous round, Real Madrid's game was first played and Barcelona's game was played afterwards. Real Madrid won Osasuna four-to-one with the shouts of home fans. Real Madrid's victory put a lot of pressure on Barcelona.
It has to be said that Barcelona this season gives people a feeling of being reborn. They withstood the pressure and defeated Coruña 5-0 at home. Also winning at home, Real Madrid scored four goals and conceded one goal, while Barcelona scored five goals without losing one goal.
World Sports News said: Judging from this round of games, Real Madrid is showing signs of fatigue, and Barcelona is in full swing. As long as Barcelona maintains this state, the La Liga champion will be theirs, and they will even win in the Champions League!
Daily Sports said: At the end of the La Liga half, Barcelona won 16, draw, two losses, and accumulated 49 points, winning the half-time championship. Real Madrid ranked second with four points behind. No surprise this season, these two teams competed for the La Liga championship.
After taking stock of half a season, Barcelona, led by Guardiola, began to make efforts after slumping at the beginning of the season and firmly occupied the top spot in the sixth round.
After half a season of running-in, Guardiola's tactical ideas have been completely accepted by Barcelona players. They shine with amazing light and sharp attacks. The defense line, which was criticized last season, has also improved a lot. Apart from the game against Real Madrid, the opponent's goals have never been scored more than three.
In addition to the amazing La Liga, Barcelona is also perfect in the Champions League. Six Champions League group stages, they achieved unbeaten results of five wins and one draw, and qualifying in the group two rounds ahead of schedule.
Barcelona's attack group was fully activated, Etoo scored 21 goals in La Liga, becoming the team's number one scorer in La Liga. Messi scored five goals in the Champions League group stage and became the team's number one scorer in the Champions League. He also scored thirteen goals in La Liga, making him the team's number two scorer.
Midfielder Xavi is becoming more mature and well-organized, which has become an important guarantee for the team's victory. Iniesta is his right-hand man, and the two are like superb tailors, sewing Barcelona into a whole.
Such a Barcelona is worth looking forward to. They are still improving. In the second half of the season, the cooperation between the generals and coaches will be closer. Perhaps this season is the beginning of Barcelona's re-emergence!
In contrast, Barcelona's biggest opponent, due to the deterioration of the relationship between the Ball Domine and former Real Madrid chairman Calderon, the Real Madrid chairman has issued a ban order, allowing the Ball Domine to not participate in any Real Madrid matches in the past two months. This has directly led to the sluggish performance of Real Madrid. He once ranked tenth in La Liga and was at the bottom of the Champions League group.
After Florentino returned to Real Madrid, the ball dominant returned to the stadium, and Real Madrid's downturn was changed. It has to be said that the ball dominant is strong, and he led the team forward. La Liga climbed from tenth to second place, and ranked at the bottom of the Champions League group to qualifying one round ahead of schedule.
From this point of view, we can see the difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Barcelona achieved the current results with collective strength, while Real Madrid relied on the power of the ball to dominate one person.
If one day the ball dominant is not in shape, then Real Madrid's performance will inevitably be depressed again. In other words, the ball dominant is Real Madrid's only hope. Who can guarantee that he will perform well in every game?
However, Barcelona does not have such a problem. One player is in a bad state and there are other players. This season is the season of Barcelona's rise, and this season belongs to Barcelona!
The so-called La Liga and Champions League defending the title is just empty talk!
...
Daily Sports reviewed the first half of the season, deliberately not mentioning Real Madrid's six-winning champion and Tang Jue's 100-ball feat. It believes that Barcelona will rise. Madrid regional media also began to review the first half of the season.
Marca said: The past year belongs to Real Madrid. It belongs to Don. Real Madrid completed the six-champion title, and Don completed the feat of 100 goals. Real Madrid and Don stood at the top of the world and overlooked the world. The 2008-09 season was a severe test for Real Madrid and Don, and they suffered an unprecedented crisis.
Due to the grudges in the European Cup, the relationship between Don and Calderon deteriorated. In the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup, their relationship deteriorated to the extreme. Then after the start of the new season, Don was banned. For Real Madrid, there was nothing worse than this, and they were trapped in an unprecedented crisis.
Real Madrid, who is used to Tang's goal-driven goal-driven team victory, has achieved a very bad performance in the absence of the number one star. Real Madrid fans burst out endless energy at this time, shocking the world. Only a few two or three thousand people from the Bernabeu came to watch the game.
This reminds people of last season when Don was suing TVE. Tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans gathered at the TVE headquarters building and the Madrid District Court, supporting their number one star. This time is no exception. It is said that the leader of Real Madrid fans asked Calderon, who is the biggest hero of Real Madrid?
Without the appeal of the number one star, no one is willing to go to the Bernabeu to watch the football. At this time, Real Madrid members could not sit still. Then, Calderon stepped down in disgrace and Florentino retakes Real Madrid.
Florentino knew the reason for Real Madrid's downturn. After he came on stage, he immediately let Tang go back on the stage, and immediately signed a new contract before the contract expired, making him the world's first football star with an annual salary of over 10 million yuan. The chairman of Real Madrid expressed his sincerity with a high salary.
In order to thank the fans for their support, Real Madrid's top star made a bold statement to them: Real Madrid's goal this season is to defend both La Liga and Champions League!
As his voice fell, countless sarcasms and ridicule were overwhelming, and almost no one believed what he said. To be honest, the goal that Tang said was indeed a bit big. After all, Real Madrid's performance in La Liga and Champions League is very bad.
However, Don did not disappoint Real Madrid fans and his supporters. He scored nine goals in his first game of his comeback, breaking the record of single-game goal set by himself last season and shocked the world. After that, Real Madrid's number one star was out of control, like a lion who escaped, killing all opponents in front of him.
In just two games, he surpassed Etoo and occupied the top spot in the La Liga scorer list!
Tang is proud and powerful. It doesn’t matter if we are ranked tenth. We have time. He leads the team to win all the way, crushes the opponents, and his ranking keeps rising.
Barcelona is amazing this season, invincible in La Liga and the Champions League. In the 15th round of La Liga, the Spanish national derby was staged, and the proud Don shouted, 'I can deal with Barcelona alone.'
Four to two, this is the score of the first game of the Spanish national derby. Real Madrid defeated Barcelona at Camp Nou. Don fulfilled his promise and staged a big four-game in this game. He defeated Barcelona alone!
After this game, their ranking in La Liga climbed to second place. While leading the team to continue to advance and win the trophy, Tang ushered in his own brilliant moment. On December 30, Real Madrid's last game in 2008, he completed the feat of 100 goals and became the first person in history!
Some people say that 2008 belongs to Tang, and this year is the first year of the King of Football. The King of Football led Real Madrid, who was once in a turmoil, to be brave after knowing shame, and now they are on track. The 2008-09 season may be the season for Barcelona to rise, but they have to ask Tang Tong whether he agrees! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
