"When it comes to the competitive level, the existence of professional technical director Cantalero allows Chinatown to form a rich and competitive lineup even if it sells people every year."
"It may be incredible to everyone else's eyes to beat Real Madrid three-to-one away, but it seems to be just a matter of time before and after those who are familiar with and understand Chinatown."
"Maybe now, Zidane should appropriately improve the team's season goals."
While Chinatown defeated Real Madrid 3-1 away, the third round of the La Liga also came to an end.
Barcelona beat Valencia 3-2 away, Atletico Madrid beat Real Sociedad 2-1 away, and Villarreal also beat Osasuna 3-0 away.

Two to one, Chinatown once again took three points away from the away game in a dangerous situation.
More than a month after the league started, Zidane had twice played a final victory, and his life was a tough one, which seemed to have become synonymous with him, especially when everyone recalled the time when Pochettino was coaching, Chinatown reversed in the second half in a row, leaving a profound impression on people.
In another game played at the same time, Manchester United also played very embarrassedly away, and finally defeated Donetsk Miners 1-0.
However, when facing Leverkusen's depression, Chinatown returned to Spain, all of them vented on Valencia's head.

So far, among the top five European football leagues, only three teams have maintained a complete victory record so far, and all of these three teams are in the La Liga, which makes everyone have to admit that the competition in the La Liga in the new season will become unprecedentedly fierce.
