97 chapter 97

In many cases, morale is such an ethereal thing as unpredictable, but it is clear that the fact that Real Madrid scored a spectacular goal from the start of the game at the El Prat Stadium instantly pushed the team's morale to the top.

The Spaniards were not crushed by a mere goal, and in their opinion, it was nothing more than a steal from the Madridians, and they were not so easily caught off guard when they were more vigilant. If they hadn't relaxed, how could Kaka have burst into the box so easily, how could Alonso still have time to plan his passes, how could Cristiano Ronaldo almost have a nanny goal?

The game resumed, with Espanyol midfielder No.7 the Japanese Shunsuke Nakamura, who was on a free transfer from Celtic for the new season, and after four seasons with Celtic in the Soviet Super League, he helped the team win three consecutive Premier League titles, two League Cups and one Scottish Cup. However, the 31-year-old midfield talent, who has shone in the Soviet Super League, although wearing the number 7, does not have the same importance as the team number in the Spaniard's player configuration, and needs to compete with De la Pena and Luis Garcia for a main position.

Forlan was impressed by the Japanese, who did not focus on the transfer period, because when Zidane had not yet retired, Shunsuke Nakamura was given a higher number of free-kicks in Pro Evolution Soccer than Zidane. At that time, many people said that they were not convinced by the values given by Pro Evolution Soccer, but when Forlan looked for the free kick data and related videos of the Soviet Super League MVP, he couldn't help but be staggered.

When it comes to free-kick masters, people think of superstars such as Juninho, David Beckham, Andrea Pirlo and Carlos, but Shunsuke Nakamura has scored more free-kicks than any of these grandmasters in European football. Although the former core of the Japanese team will be praised by the Japanese media whenever he has some wonderful performances, even the World Sports newspaper has concluded that Beckham's right-footed footwork at his peak and Shunsuke Nakamura's left-footed footwork at his peak will make an invincible superstar.

Even if it's just a left-footed footwork, mentioning it together with Beckham proves Nakamura's strength.

While Nakamura was a regular player at centre-back and left-sided midfield at Celtic in the Premier League, he was a midfielder in Espanyol's game. Having already praised Nakamura's left-footed skill of "being able to open a can", Fran did not panic when he looked at the Japanese who rushed towards him.

On the one hand, because he is already confident that no one can easily break through his defense, on the other hand, the reason why this free kick can only be stumbled in Su Chao is because of his much-criticized physical condition, he is often at a disadvantage in physical confrontations, not to mention the body that is now in a period of decline.

Sure enough, Diarra directly stuck Nakamura Shunsuke's position, and he couldn't push it up and didn't have any cool way to pass it, so he could only hand it over to Garcia who followed him closely to continue to respond. Garcia glanced up at the Real Madrid backline that was already ready, the Spaniard striker from Castile who was born and had exactly the same name as the Reds big man Luis Garcia swallowed, to be honest, he was accidentally shadowed by Fran's terrible sliding shovel when he was a child.

Regardless of whether there is a shadow or not, Garcia can only continue to bury this miserable experience hidden in the depths of his childhood, and then rush forward! Attack! Fuck him! Don't cowardly! Otherwise, the shadow will deepen year after year!

However, Garcia did to assist Shunsuke Nakamura because the Spaniard was not just one person, but he forgot at that moment that the Real Madrid in front of him was not only Forlan alone, and even Ramos, Marcelo, and Pepe in front of him would not be Forlan in front of him.

Garcia went straight down the wing, facing Pepe, who had lowered his center of gravity and made an interception gesture, he did not hesitate to retreat because of Garcia's approach, and composure is indispensable as a defender. Ramos, who was behind him, paid close attention to the offensive and defensive confrontation, and saw that it had not developed further, so he did not rush forward to block it. If Garcia wants to continue, he must try to get past Pepe and choose to break through in another direction, and his steps are fine-tuned intentionally or unintentionally, trying to control his shoulders without revealing secrets, but this slight movement is a revelation of attacking ideas in Ramos's eyes. Ramos no longer hesitated, and at that moment he stepped forward to close and press, and Pepe, who noticed that his teammates were coming, realized that the time was ripe, and any defensive effort he made was to create opportunities for his teammates, and immediately reached out to grab the ball. Garcia had no choice but to kick the ball towards Pepe and bounce it straight out of bounds. The Spaniard's throw-in, Real Madrid everyone was marking one-on-one, and Garcia's helpless move could only be stranded in the end.

And before the Spaniards could muster up the equaliser, Real Madrid's second goal came so quickly. In the nineteenth minute, Guti dribbled the ball to the right side at the edge of the penalty area, Kaka, who got the ball, made a precise cross, and Higuain scored with a header to expand the score to 2:0.

From the time of Real Madrid's goal, the pace of the whole game was extremely fast, and Pellegrini had this kind of preparation when he planned to attack in a big game, compared to the Spaniard's somewhat scrambling and even disjointed offensive and defensive parts.

Pellegrini didn't expect such a surprising effect, but what will always be true on the football field is to take advantage of your illness to kill you.

Espanyol midfielder Berdu sent the ball wide to the left with a long mid-range pass, but Forlan was closer to the open position than Karajan, making it easy to stop the ball without interference. Turn around, attack!

Forlan's explosiveness is of course inferior to the team's Kakana's super speed, but he is not so easy to catch up with the next generation, although he is supposed to be in the middle of a long run, the Spaniard defenders have already returned to their respective positions, but why bother, this is not his duty, and he does not need to do so. He glanced up at his teammates who were ready, and he had a chance to show off his passing skills.

Receiving the pass was Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was hidden in the crowd, and his skilful start was stuck just outside the offside line that made the linesman feel the most uncomfortable, and the ball won Ruud van Nistelrooy swooped forward on the left side, forcing the latter to fall to the ground and make a tackle. Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy, everyone understands that Real Madrid's purpose in bringing in Ronaldo and Benzema is to replace him and Raul's position, Raul has begun to retreat since a year or two ago, and he is a glass man with constant injuries. But just like when he first came, he didn't let himself be just a passerby, just a passerby.

Vanney came to a sudden halt, and people who knew that he had suffered numerous knee injuries could not help but worry that he was no longer young, and that a shovel, a forced increase in speed and a sudden drop in speed could make him say goodbye to competitive life completely. He doesn't lack honors, but what makes him still run on this green field even if he repeats the painful process of recovering from injury, serious injury, injury?

Offensive!

After the stop, Ruud van Nistelrooy pulled back with his right foot and dodged Roncaglia's sliding tackle to cut in the ribs, and the 22-year-old fell to the ground and watched the Dutchman rush into his own penalty area, as if he remembered that he was old when he saw this guy who had been in Real Madrid's starting list again after nearly 300 days. Seeing his teammate and compatriot in shame, Piruud pressed up, but Ruud van Nistelrooy stared straight at the door as if he didn't see his block, and he shook off Piruud who was filling in for him on two consecutive bikes, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who looked straight at the goalkeeper, raised his right foot and stepped on the side of the football, and chose to stab with his left foot under the regretful gaze of the goalkeeper who had jumped in the wrong direction.

There was a moment of silence at the El Prat stadium, and a few seconds later the audience burst into thunderous applause, coming from the Real Madrid fans who had rushed to the stadium and the Espanyol fans at Barcelona.

Everyone knows that Ruud van Nistelrooy is strong in his small skills and ability to get rid of dribbles, but the most powerful thing is his keen sense of the ball and his footwork control when shooting. It was a brilliant goal that Ruud van Nistelrooy could have created, but it was not a classic Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The third goal on the previous two-goal lead is the icing on the cake, and even the current scene is still the classic mode of the downwind ball that Real Madrid has always been best at. This ball is so heavy or, it doesn't seem to be that important.

But this team, which can be seen from the name Real Espanyol, was at least once favored by the royal family, and in the face of Ronaldo and Higuain, he gave Ruud van Nistelrooy applause. Are they being beaten up? Is it another political tendency of this group that opposes Catalan independence? I can't help but think too much.

This time the goal celebration, even Forlan, who gave a false assist, abandoned Casillas in front of the lonely goal, and the Dutch had been held in Raul's arms when he surrounded him, and the Real Madrid captain seemed to be more excited than the scorer himself. Even Ronaldo, who has always been speculated by the media to have a bad relationship and has never clarified, and even faced the embarrassing situation of Real Madrid taking the place again after Manchester United, patted Ruud van Nistelrooy on the back with encouragement.

A young but scarred Red Devils rookie, a wounded but old Real Madrid veteran.

A veteran never dies.

He's just slowly withering. 166 Reading Network
