Dominate the Greenery

Chapter 328

Chapter 328

The word powerful is used on Real Madrid, and it always feels like a joke.

After all, it was this group of people who left too many bad impressions on the world in the past few years.

Back in Madrid, Real Madrid will have an away game against Valencia after a short break. Of course, they are greeted by excited fans, but the enthusiasm for the Champions League can easily fade. After all, it is only the quarterfinals. If Real Madrid fails to enter the quarterfinals, it will be news.

Back in La Liga, facing Valencia, which has been unbeaten in [-] league rounds, Real Madrid is not sure of winning, but because of the tense nerves in the previous period, Carlo can only arrange for the players to rest.

Of course, at least from the appearance, Real Madrid resumed the 4141 formation. Raul started consecutively, but this time he was the arrow, while Ronaldo was sitting on the bench to rest, and Zidane, Beckham, Xie Rui, in the Champions League, most of his frontcourt combination was cut off. Fortunately, he only changed players on the offensive line, and there were no major changes in other positions.

Cicinho went to the right, Robinho went to the left, Guti led the middle, and his partner was Baptista.

After the start of the game, on the bench, Ronaldo, Cassano, Xie Rui, Beckham, and Zidane had various relaxed conversations. The recent results of Real Madrid made the whole team feel very happy. At this stage, any conflicts are irrelevant. Can be easily resolved.

It's just that on the field, the two captains of Real Madrid ran desperately, using their spirit of dedication to attack Valencia's defense.

"Real Madrid is a bit overwhelmed, their strong offensive team is almost put on the bench, and Raul, who is still looking for form, and Guti, who has played almost all the games recently, are struggling on the field, which will make people think Real Madrid has no one available. This is an extremely unreasonable way of employing people. Of course, Robinho has been in good form recently. He did not play in the game against Arsenal. He must have been depressed for a long time. This may be a breakthrough point, but It is not appropriate to replace Beckham with Cicinho once, obviously Cassano and Robinho are better alternating on the wing."

"Of course, we can think that Carlo is training wide players for the Brazilian national team, yes, that's all I can think of."

Not everyone was criticizing Carlo, some praised him for daring to stick to his lineup after Raul's return. "Carlo's decision is right. Whether it is Raul or Ronaldo, when they exist as a single arrow, they can make the two wings have more space. Real Madrid needs to have achievements on the wings, just like the one with Arsenal. In the game, Beckham made full use of the wide. That is the cornerstone of Real Madrid's winning at Highbury. Cicinho is also familiar with this position. He is a player who has the courage to attack. If Carlo dares to let Ronaldo and Raul rotate , then he can definitely make this Real Madrid achieve amazing results. A coach who is destined to leave, but leads the team to win the treble, this will be a legend."

Carlo now has the capital to stick to his own style of play, because in three months, Real Madrid's changes have proved him to be correct. There are still more than two months left, and Real Madrid does not need to familiarize themselves with the new lineup. It is enough to be cautious in the UEFA Champions League. Although the league has not established an insurmountable advantage, it will not allow other teams to easily surpass it. Just like Valencia now, don't look at them. They have begun to approach Real Madrid, but It's just because they participate in La Liga matches wholeheartedly, without distractions.

But in any case, when Raul has not really announced his recovery, let him start consecutively within four days, which makes him questionable.No one questioned Raul's qualifications. What they worried about was whether the continuous high-intensity competition would make the Real Madrid captain's injury relapse.Obviously, this kind of thing can be avoided, why do you have to run to the edge of the cliff to dance?

In today's game, Raul worked very hard to participate, but his sense of presence was too low.

"The Real Madrid captain was running around the field like a headless chicken, but he never got the football. He had almost no chance to participate in the attack throughout the first half, and Tan didn't even get into the penalty area as a single arrow. Of course, this It doesn't mean that Raul's state is bad. It's really that Real Madrid's midfielder's creativity is too poor. It's also Valencia's steady defense that drags Real Madrid down. Look, defense can also make opponents crazy. Valencia's defense Real Madrid can only run non-stop, but these runs seem to be useless."

An attack without support, no matter how crazy it is, is useless.

In the first half, Baptista was the only one who showed a threat to Valencia, but even his passes to Raul were always intercepted in advance.

Real Madrid has an obvious advantage in ball possession, but it is only dry and not rainy. There are a few shots recorded, Cicinho twice, Baptista four times, Carlos once, Guti twice, All happened outside the restricted area.The structure of statistics does not find the Real Madrid captain. It can be seen that Raul, who is still recovering, has completed his mission in the Champions League, but his state is very bad. His existence has never been able to start the team's offensive situation.

Carlo looked at Raul with a slight frown. He was absolutely assured of the Real Madrid captain's ability, but after the Champions League, this state is really unpredictable.

After the midfield adjustment, Carlo simply replaced Raul with Ronaldo. Although Raul was disappointed by this, he could only shake his head helplessly. The Brazilian was also a little disappointed. He didn't plan to play today, so take a good rest The chance is actually only halftime.

Cassano will also play together. Carlo will never replace Raul alone. Although there will be no abnormal sounds in Real Madrid, all factors that affect unity should be avoided in advance.

The two new players still changed the situation of Real Madrid. Of course, this may also have something to do with Valencia's strengthening of offense and lax defense in the second half.

Guti was a bit withdrawn, but Baptista's fire support to Ronaldo was still sufficient, unlike Raul's intermittent on the court, Baptista was obviously more dedicated to his fellow Brazilians.And because Valencia's defensive investment has decreased, both sides have become more active.

Immediately, Real Madrid's offensive power began to be highlighted. In 6 minutes, Guti scored the ball in the middle, and Cicinho made a light pick. The football flew over the oncoming Albeida, while Cicinho himself bypassed the opponent from the outside.

"Beautiful!" Brazilian players are always so unexpected. Although it is just a simple action, it makes people feel itchy.

In the middle, Baptista has rushed to the front point, while Ronaldo is walking the opponent's defender slowly in the middle.

Cicinho's inward cut made Baptista a firepower attraction, and everyone was worried that the Brazilian would come to cooperate with him in midfield.Facing this group of people, you would think that this is the offensive routine of the Brazilian national team. If Cassano was not replaced on the other side, it would really be a Brazilian rhythm.

Cicinho gave up on dribbling the ball without anyone defending him, and made another pass, but this time his strength and speed were significantly enhanced. The football quickly flew past the densely populated front point, and Canizares in front of the goal Already struck.

Ronaldo's body, which has become stronger and stronger, already flew up. Before Canizares punched him with both fists, he flicked his head and hit the football first.

The football flew over Canizares, and he couldn't help turning his head to look back before it landed. Losing the ball is not unacceptable to the 36-year-old Canizares.

Real Madrid faced Lehmann and Canizares in a row. Such a veteran deserves respect, but he must score goals.

Ronaldo and Canizares landed almost at the same time, and the mood of the two will definitely be different.

It's just that it's not Ronaldo who is happy.

The football was rejected by the crossbar, and before it bounced back to the court, it bounced up and landed on the net.

The outstanding representative of Real Madrid's youth training has achieved success in Valencia. There has always been such a saying in La Liga that Barcelona's youth training makes Barcelona self-sufficient, and Real Madrid's youth training feeds the entire La Liga.

The boutique is always missed, but Real Madrid has always been unable to give the youth training players enough opportunities to exercise, and in the end it is cheaper for other teams.

This goal should be said that Canizares' interference has had an effect. If he is not 36 years old, he might have taken the ball from Ronaldo's head, but now he is definitely lucky.

Even so, Real Madrid's offense finally saw hope, and the camera turned to Raul. The Real Madrid captain looked melancholy, the kind of melancholy that has often been seen on his face over the years.It's just that in this season, such an expression can already explain many things.

Is it dissatisfaction with your own state, or jealousy...

The most important thing is that Aragones is sitting in the stands. Although he is sure to leave a place for Raul, his performance today is really unconvincing, and perhaps doubts have already arisen in Aragones' heart , Is such a captain trustworthy? !

However, Carlo felt that it was not enough. Just improving does not prove anything. On the contrary, during this period of time, Valencia played beautiful offenses many times.They didn't counterattack with defense. In the first half, they just insisted on defense, endured loneliness, and put Real Madrid in an iron bucket.Now they need to attack, so when they kick out, Real Madrid may not be able to withstand it. This is the current No.2 in La Liga.

They obviously made targeted arrangements for Real Madrid's halftime defense during the intermission. Now once they attack, the number of personnel invested makes Real Madrid's defense look extremely weak.

Carlo didn't give instructions, but Guti has slowly taken it back. With the captain's armband, he has more responsibilities than others. Of course, there is more pressure and more dirty work.

Except for Albeida who stayed in the backcourt like a meat grinder to sweep, Valencia's midfielder was pressed out, and Aimar was particularly active in the front. He shuttled from left to center and right like Albeida, and rushed Go with the ball, but the Argentine is not as aggressive as Albeida's defense.

The pressure on Real Madrid's defense increased sharply, which could not be solved by Guti's retreat, but Carlo did not give any instructions, nor did he plan to change players in the backcourt, which made the running of Real Madrid's frontcourt players invisible. , Cicinho had to take back to form a midfield barrier with Gravesen and Guti, so that although Real Madrid had more opportunities, they also had more opportunities to be attacked.

Even so, Valencia still had an advantage in the number of midfielders when attacking, and the ball possession rate began to pick up.It’s just that the siege posture has never been formed. The Valencia players are much more patient than the Real Madrid players. If they miss a hit, they immediately recover and then look for opportunities again. Therefore, it seems that Real Madrid’s offense is more threatening .But the real threat happened in front of Real Madrid.

Is it because it is cold to attack, it always makes people unable to defend with all their strength.

This time, after the Valencia team steals the ball, the whole team quickly advances to the frontcourt.

Did Aimar and Milosevic drop back to respond, plus the midfielders pressing to the front, and the full-backs waiting for opportunities near the center line, the football was passed back and forth, and the tentative attack was obvious, which made Real Madrid's defenders We were a little nervous, but Valencia's patience was really good.

Aimar broke through to the penalty area line three times, but when Ramos posted it, he distributed the ball again. It was obvious that he would be able to shoot a step further, but he insisted on holding back.

After three or five times, Real Madrid players tend to be negligent when posting defenses. Of course, some people will be more nervous, but after all, at this time, everyone is exhausted physically and mentally. Any distraction or failure to keep up may cause fatal loopholes.

It was in this situation that Valencia tore through Real Madrid's defense.It was still Aimar's dribble, and Ramos could still stick to it, but Aymar didn't split the side this time, he pushed the ball sideways to Baraja who was nearby.

Whether it was Gravesen, who was supposed to be defending, or Guti, who was retreating, neither of them kept up with Baraja this time. Lost direction, especially Baraja was about to volley against the rolling football.

Even if he blocked the hole of the gun, he was afraid of taking a step too late, and Ramos didn't care about controlling the center of gravity of his body.

Perhaps Baraja himself did not expect that this false shot would attract so many people's attention. He flicked the ball lightly, and the football flew over Ramos and fell into the penalty area.

cheated!

Although Ramos is young, he is not a rookie. Of course, no matter how rich his experience is, he can only catch him blind at this time. Aimar is right behind him, so there is no need to guess.

The Argentine didn't have any defensive players around him, and he didn't choose to stop the ball. With such an easy opportunity, Aimar was very confident. He didn't even look at Casillas' position and kicked the football.

Instead of volleying vigorously, Aymar chose to rub the ball.

Casillas, who had already made a short attack, forcibly stopped his body, but it was also very difficult for him to jump up at this time. He could only stretch out his arms, barely open his body, kick his feet hard, and jump as high as he could. High, just do your best.

The audience fell silent at this moment, and everyone stared wide-eyed at what happened in front of Real Madrid.

The football arced beautifully in the air towards the goal, the ball was not fast, but Casillas was as stiff as a slow-motion replay.

After all, the football passed his hands under Casillas's desperate eyes, and then went straight to the goal.

boom!

Again? !

This time the fans' eyes widened even wider, all kinds of disbelief, but they had to face reality.Surprised beyond words, Aimar's eyes were the biggest. He couldn't believe that the football would hit the post.

"It's the goal frame again. Both sides have one today, but by the way, does Casillas have any goal post bonuses? In almost every game we can see that he is completely powerless, but the football is defeated. The goal is automatically blocked."

"Yeah, I think we can do a collection, the ones that are denied by the goal."

"Aimar, he almost showed all his talents. We saw this goal, such a gorgeous arc, but he couldn't go beyond the goal. This goal is too regrettable. It is worse than Henry's free kick hitting the goal frame in the last game. Wonderful, how much the Valencia team did to prepare for this attack, but in the end this is the result."

"Casillas got a new life in a trance. He may be really afraid of conceding a goal, at least he doesn't want to concede a goal in this game. Compared with Canizares' calmness, Casillas may have more expectations today." Of course. It is impossible to doubt that Casillas' ability is worse than that of Canizares. Although there are too many arguments about the strength comparison between the two, is it meaningful to compare them now, one is 24 and the other is 36?

This ball disappointed Valencia's players. Unlike Real Madrid's hit on the crossbar just now, Valencia really made too much preparation this time, but after all, there was no way to press the navigator on the football.

After escaping, Real Madrid did not intend to strengthen their defense. Carlo stubbornly believed that only attacking was the best choice for Real Madrid.So he replaced Salgado with Soldado. At that time, the Real Madrid players were all confused. What kind of rhythm is this?Fortunately, Carlo immediately signaled Cicinho to retreat.

However, the substitution quickly achieved results. It is rare for Soldado to partner with Ronaldo. He wants to perform well, but he also wants to build a bridge for his predecessors. After playing, he is very active in creating opportunities.

Real Madrid took a gamble to attack. Cassano cut and Ronaldo cooperated and picked the ball to Soldado. The young Spanish forward unloaded the ball. Facing Marchena's defense, he dunked the ball. It's not a fake move, but it's going to push the ball to Ronaldo who is rushing fast.

But Marchena didn't know it. Seeing that Soldado's buckle shook him away, he hurriedly fished it out.

Well, Soldado didn't pass the ball, but the man was brought down.

penalty!

The referee Mehuto ignored the boos of the audience and decisively awarded a penalty kick.Of course he did not give Marchena a yellow card.

Ronaldo did his part, and Soldado originally created opportunities for him, so naturally he didn't fight.

However, Ronaldo did not become a hero. He gave enough strength, but failed to control the angle, and the football hit the door frame again.

The Brazilian looked at the goal in annoyance and sighed helplessly. Today's protagonist is destined not to be a player.
