Real Madrid (-2) VS Osasuna

In the past season, Real Madrid's performance really disappointed and regretted many fans. The former King's Army failed to show its due dominance, and suffered repeated setbacks in various competitions, and eventually missed the championship trophy. Such a result is undoubtedly a heavy blow to this giant club with a brilliant history and a huge fan base. However, as the saying goes, "knowing shame and being brave", Real Madrid's management learned from their mistakes and was determined to invest huge amounts of money in this summer's transfer window to comprehensively and in-depth strengthen the team's lineup, and vowed to make a comeback and regain their championship glory.

On the defensive end, Real Madrid took decisive action and introduced two outstanding players, Heisen and Carreras. Heisen is known for his excellent prediction ability and steady defensive skills. He is like a solid barrier on the court, able to effectively intercept the opponent's attack and resolve the crisis; while Carreras has extremely strong physical fitness and confrontational ability, and he is not inferior in the air or the ground fighting. His joining further consolidates Real Madrid's defense line. The joining of these two people has made Real Madrid's defense line more stable and reliable, injecting new vitality into the team's overall defensive system. On the offensive line, Real Madrid also spared no effort to sign ups. They introduced Kulusevsky and Mastantono, which greatly enriched the team's offensive depth. Kulusevsky has delicate skills and strong dribbling ability. His dribbling propulsion can often tear open the opponent's defense and create excellent offensive opportunities; Mastantono has a keen sense of front-end smell and excellent shooting ability, which is quite threatening whether it is long shots or close-range shots. With the addition of these two new players, Real Madrid's offensive methods have become more diverse and their firepower has been significantly improved. Compared with last season, Real Madrid's lineup is more three-dimensional, with top players in every position, and its strength on both offense and defense has made a qualitative leap.

In a warm-up match last week, Real Madrid couldn't wait to show the world the power of this new lineup. Although the players did not give their all in the game and only conducted regular training drills, they still showed amazing competitive state and terrifying firepower. Throughout the game, Real Madrid easily scored 4 goals and defeated their opponents with an absolute advantage. This victory not only allowed fans to see the team's unlimited potential in the new season, but also made opponents feel tremendous pressure.

Turn your attention to Osasuna again. Last season, the team's performance was amazing. There is no real superstar in their lineup, and the overall lineup is not favored by the outside world. However, such a seemingly ordinary team has passed the top ten in the standings with its tenacious fighting spirit and teamwork awareness. This achievement is not easy, and it fully proves their strength and resilience. What's even more rare is that the management has successfully retained the core players of the lineup this summer. After a season of running-in, these core players have greatly improved their tacit understanding. They cooperated tacitly on the court and trusted each other, forming a close and united fighting group. As long as you can maintain a healthy state, Osasuna has a chance to reach the top eight of the standings this season.

Now, the two teams are about to meet on a narrow road. Judging from the strength on paper, Real Madrid undoubtedly has an absolute advantage. They have a world-class player lineup and rich game experience, and they are far better than Osasuna in terms of personal abilities and teamwork. Moreover, historical confrontation records also show that Osasuna has suffered a crushing defeat in the past two visits to Real Madrid, with a net loss of up to 4 goals. In this showdown, Real Madrid has also received strong support from major institutions at the data level. However, football matches have always been full of variables, and it is not possible to decide the outcome by relying solely on paper strength. As the game approaches, the market popularity is falling toward Real Madrid, and this excessive attention and expectation may bring some psychological pressure to the team. In this case, the mentality of Real Madrid players will inevitably be affected, which will affect their performance in the game.

In contrast, Osasuna, they have nothing to lose, but can go into battle lightly. As a team that is not favored, they may take a try in the game with the mentality of "bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes". With the good tacit understanding and tenacious fighting spirit among the players, they are completely likely to cause trouble for Real Madrid. Therefore, although Real Madrid has a huge advantage on the surface, there are actually many uncertainties in this game. I personally prefer to be optimistic that Osasuna can hold on with a low profile and achieve a good result in a surprise. After all, in the world of football, miracles can happen at any time.
