Away to Real Sociedad 2-0.

The whole Real Madrid team got off the bus and walked into the stadium in the face of the reactions of the surrounding away fans. Fran followed Casillas, and a reporter screamed frantically to capture his memory, "Alvarez, what gave you the confidence to make that bet you made with Reporter Theodore after the last game, and you felt like you could return five triumphant times in a row?"

When everyone finally entered the realm where there were no outsiders, Casillas put an elbow on Fran's waist, "Man, you're putting pressure on me too." Forlan spread out his hands on the sides of his chest to show his innocence, indicating that his initial intention was really to block the defender and had nothing to do with the goalkeeper.

It doesn't matter what the hell is it! Who is the last barrier for the team? I am responsible for cleaning up the mess if you say that you have good trust? It seems that you have hardened your wings and decided to fly solo?

"Real Madrid's away match against Real Sociedad may be a safer bet for Francisco Alvarez, with Capello using a left-to-right setup of Carlos, Forlan, Ramos and Salgado at the back. If there are any listeners who don't know, a brief explanation is that after Real Madrid's narrow 1-0 win in the last game, Forlan made a bet with his well-known arch-rival Arnold Theodore about 'five rounds without conceding a goal'. ”

"Coming back to the game, the two veterans were full of energy in this game, and it seemed that in order to prove that they and their predecessors were worthy of it, Ramos contributed their best performance since the winter break. However, unlike what we had predicted that Forlan would reduce in midfield support in order to ensure stability at the back, he continued to move quickly back and forth between Guti in the centre and many positions in the backline. If there were some impulsive actions at his press conference that made people picky, he proved himself with actual actions on the field. Running is always the most important part of football. ”

0-0 at home against Real Betis.

"We saw a large crowd in the die-hard fan zone at the Bernabeu wearing the Real Madrid home shirt with Forlan's number '5' on it to cheer him on and encourage him. Many people say that Real Madrid is a team that values the front court more than the back, but perhaps Forlan is a special case. Perhaps, as the fans themselves joked, this kid who seems to have loved Real Madrid since the beginning of his self-consciousness is a real 'Madridist', a star who really comes from the fans, and seems to have achieved a fusion between the club and the fans. ”

In this game, Real Madrid almost pressed in the Real Betis penalty area in the last ten minutes, eager to score a goal. Betis shrank their defense and couldn't even pose a threat to Real Madrid in the end. But Betis' goalkeeper made a big difference in the game, with two must-have goals in the final ten minutes being saved by him. Looking at Vanney's depressed expression, the Dutchman seemed to be in disbelief at all this. And in the end, this game that was still good on the scene only ended in a draw. The Real Madrid defender's bet has been completed twice, but it has not been easy for Real Madrid's backline, especially after this game, Salgado has accumulated yellow cards and is suspended. And can Capello's substitute Bravo retain the dignity and expectations of his predecessors?"

Away to Atletico Madrid 3-0.

"Today's game was due to the absence of two of Atletico's main defenders due to injuries, which made Atletico's defense full of holes and had to shift the war to the midfield position. Correspondingly, the absence of a right-back position at Real Madrid led Real Madrid to opt for the same solution. It is worth mentioning that when the two midfielders were fighting for the initiative, Forlan repeatedly stepped forward to actively cooperate with Jose Gutiérrez, blocking the opponent, receiving the midfield return pass and even transferring the ball between the midfield forwards as a fulcrum. Two very different people stepped on the exact same attacking pace and played a symphony belonging to Real Madrid at the Calderón Stadium. At this moment, we saw that Capello on the sidelines seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, and what he was looking forward to seemed to have finally come. ”

"But I have to say, looking at Guti's sweaty appearance and looking at the energetic Fran next to him, it is really time for Mr. Vice-Team to continue to strengthen his physical training, and we don't want to emphasize the difference in running distance between the two of you over and over again. ”

1-0 at home to Getafe.

"It's still a Capello victory. The beautiful attack in the previous round has lost its creativity after the team returned to their home stadium at the Bernabeu, and with Bravo at right-back being mediocre, Ramos seems to be caught in a cycle of not being able to switch between attack and defence. Forlan, who had won more than half of the off-court gambling games, was finally overwhelmed by the leaks and defenses again, but he did not give up trying to cooperate with Guti again and again. On the right flank, we can even see Beckham's aggressive return to the defense, and there has been several speculations that Capello will put Beckham on the bench due to too much off-field news from the English side and rumours of not renewing his contract with Real Madrid. But in the end, the English proved their necessity with their fighting and perfect professionalism from the Premier League again and again, and it also showed the world that Real Madrid still has someone to defend in addition to the necessary defenders. ”

"But it may be difficult to say that Beckham's trip to Real Madrid, he didn't impress me with his skills, but he moved me with his professionalism. I don't know if this is a good deal for Real Madrid, but Beckham himself will not be happy. ”

"Four rounds of the league, whether it is a stumble, or an easy one, at least Real Madrid has really managed four clean sheets when they have conceded an average of 1.2 goals per game. But it's still too early to say that victory is in sight, and even if there is only one final round left, Fran's bet to attract attention is only half done. It has to be said that this strategy has been successful, at least he can make people more tolerant of Ramos and Marcelo, and the goal of attracting attention can be achieved. As long as he can achieve another win in the next fight, then I won't hesitate to give him a thumbs up. But Barcelona's Camp Nou, will he get out of the way?"

But will Barcelona's Camp Nou leave Francisco Alvarez out of the way?

Perhaps it was the choice within Barcelona that the support of Lionel Messi prevailed over Ronaldinho, and the Catalans are more willing to support a promising Barça own than the Brazilian, who is temporarily in a slump in form, and pave the way for him to become a future superstar. The Barcelona people are most happy to see that Real Madrid will be embarrassed, and Forlan's bet must be broken in their opinion, and the key victory that broke this gamble, many people have set their eyes on Messi.

But there is no consensus in the Barcelona team on whether to let Messi face Forlan directly. In Rijkaard's view, the current Barcelona team still insists on possession first, even though it has been proven several times that possession does not mean winning percentage. Barcelona's midfield is particularly important, the forward line should be a whole, and if it is Messi who scores the goal in this whole, it is good, but the whole team cannot be made to serve him. Mr. Black Swan said that it is best to let everything go naturally.

But having said that, one of the things that the Netherlands love to do the most is infighting, and if Rijkaard, a Dutchman, has decision-making power as the head coach in the Barcelona team, there is a figure who is always pointing fingers, even if he is considered by many Dutchmen to belong to Catalonia and not to the Netherlands, he is Johan Cruyff.

Cruyff was a man with an inscrutable stubbornness and extremism, but he would rise head-on when difficulties arrived. This national derby, in Cruyff's view, is the first difficulty and challenge that Messi has encountered in the real sense, "I have watched the boy's last few games, if he has been a defender for so many years and has been feeling stable and has a low error rate, then he has been in excellent form recently." As long as there is an opportunity, I am sure that he can take this opportunity to rush to the super-first-class level, the top handful. Cruyff gestured with his hand, the compliment to his opponent made his family even more nervous.

But Cruyff didn't seem to see Rijkaard's frown and Messi's nervousness, and continued, "Maybe the ten games he said at the beginning could also be realized, Leo, and it's clear that he's not the leaky and the best breakthrough in this backline, and you, who have been recuperating from injuries for almost three months after being injured in December." "It seems that the narrative is in favor of Rijkaard.

"Then should I back down?" Messi sat there, his height making him still look like a child who hadn't grown up, and this genius who was not yet twenty years old might really be a child who needed encouragement and protection to move forward. Cruyff smiled and shook his head, "No, others may be able to, but you can't." "Because only by gritting your teeth and rushing forward all the time can you reach the height you want. Instead of withdrawing, dodging, selectively giving up.

In Madrid, Fabio Capello has been frowning since his victory against Getafe in the previous round. The opponent is Barcelona, an eternal opponent and an enemy that will always be defeated in the eyes of the Real Madrid people. Barcelona's lineup is probably not much different from the first half of the season, but it is obviously too unreliable to expect Ronaldinho's sluggish performance and Robinho's excellent performance like drugs. Camp Nou's new favourite, Lionel Messi, is about to return after a three-month injury hiatus, and he doesn't know if the Argentine will deliver a post-injury malaise or a three-month spurt. And the media continues to hype that it seems that Messi will definitely be able to stop Forlan's number, even if it is just a seemingly pitiful single digit number 5.

Most newcomers don't choose to budge at such times, even if Messi seems to be an introvert, and it's not just a game, maybe it will have a more profound impact. 166 Reading Network
