Real Madrid feast over a hapless Real Zaragoza in season opener – La Liga Special (Part 1)
La Romareda has become a happy hunting ground for Real Madrid over the years, a place where they score for fun. The Capital side’s visits to Aragon have become increasingly festive and the latest season opener was no different. Real Madrid sent six into
Zaragoza’s net as they kick started their title challenge.
After coming under the heat following their ill tempered participation in Spanish Super Cup, La Liga would have been welcomed wholeheartedly. Their failure to beat Barcelona had them in a sour mood and the thumping win would have served as a good morale
booster. They have started the season in good spirits and would be looking to exert pressure on the world beating Catalan side.
The attacking football on display would have neutralized views about Jose Mourinho’s side who have taken the stick. It was business as usual from the starting whistle as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 led Los Merengues attack. 
After failing to hit the back of the net with his ambitious long range efforts, Ronaldo started the day’s proceedings on 24th minute. Mesut Ozil expertly split open the Zaragoza defence with an inch perfect pass. Madrid no. 7, Ronaldo, got on the end of
the ball and coolly finished to give a delightful end to a lovely flowing move.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 captain upped his antics as he was the chief destroyer for Los Blancos later in the match. He has started the season in a festive mood, ending his first La Liga match with a hat-trick. This was the best possible way the Portuguese would have
hoped to start his season. Ronaldo starts his season where he left off and will be looking to improve on last season’s tally, which brought him Pichichi honours.
Joining Ronaldo in the fiesta was left-back Marcelo. The Brazilian stopper has been hailed by his manager in the press for his improved defensive displays. However, it was the attacking side of his game that brought him in sharp focus five minutes from Ronaldo’s
opener. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096 cross and sent the ball in the right hand side of the goal, the looping ball avoiding several players on its way across the line. Marcelo added the salsa touch to his effort with a celebration
to match his goal.
Madrid went in cruise control as they dominated possession and hacked their way to Zaragoza’s third. Los Manos would have liked to get a goal back to make it interesting for the later stages of the game. They sent men upfront in search of the elusive sniff
on goal, but failed to do so with their efforts.
Javier Aguirre’s side improved in the wake of going down, playing the ball well about in the midfield and getting higher up the field. However, they were cautious of playing into Real Madrid’s counter attacks. Zucelini exchanged passes with Lafita while
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ikechukwu-Uche-c16813 pressurised Carvalho led Real defence but to no avail.
In the absence of four first team players and with eight new players in the first team roster, Zaragoza lacked cohesion across the park, and this was exploited in full by their opponents who would have gotten a higher result had new goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-Jimenez-c31343
not arrived for rescue.
