225. A big victory
When the first goal was scored, the game became easy.
In the 11th minute, Real Madrid played a quick counterattack again.
It was also Modric who sent a long pass over the top to Chu Ge, and after Chu Ge dribbled the ball, he used his speed to break through the Spaniard defender and kick a Figo-style cross to pass the football to the middle of the penalty area.
Benzema jumped over the defender and smashed the ball into the Espanyol goal.
2:0!
After scoring the goal, Benzema smiled and pointed at Chu Ge and took the initiative to run towards Chu Ge.
"This is the second game in a row that Chu has sent a beautiful cross for Benzema, and Benzema has lived up to Chu's assist!"
'After scoring this goal, Benzema scored in all the scores in January. He's been in great form lately. ”
Amid the cheers of the Bernabeu, Benzema and Chu Ge embraced.
Then the rest of his teammates followed and celebrated the goal.
……
Five minutes later, Espanyol defender Enzo Rocco tripped Cristiano Ronaldo in the box and the referee awarded a penalty.
Ronaldo personally took the penalty shot, 3:0!
The Bernabeu cheered again.
And that's not all.
Towards the end of the first half.
Benzemara's right, taking Spain's central defender, Cristiano Ronaldo receives the middle in due time. Chu Ge saw Ronaldo's running position, and he kicked straight and sent the football comfortably to Ronaldo's feet.
Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball high and suddenly knocked his heel in front of the penalty area, stopping the football sharply.
After a defender was caught off guard, he lost his center of gravity directly by his emergency stop and fell to the ground.
Subsequently, Ronaldo quickly made a fried croquette.
This time he still uses his heels, and his passing movements are very hidden.
After passing the defender, Ronaldo quickly caught up with the football, hit the goal with his backfoot, and the football went into the net, 4:0!
It was a beautiful goal that ignited the Bernabeu.
Chu Ge was also excited when he saw it.
Ronaldo's goal is exactly the same as Chu Ge's first goal before, but Ronaldo's movements are more coordinated and more hidden, and the continuous heel change of direction completely makes the Spaniard's defenders unable to find the north. Especially after passing people, using super physical fitness to forcibly break the body to the most suitable position for shooting, it shows Ronaldo's super strength as the top two superstars in today's football.
His entire passing and shooting movements were completed in front of Chu Ge.
Chu Ge was like watching Ronaldo's in-person teaching video on the spot.
The whole passing action gave Chu Ge a lot of inspiration.
After the goal, the referee blew the half-time whistle. With a huge four-goal lead, Chu Ge and his teammates walked into the locker room.
In the stands, Real Madrid fans rejoiced.
On the Internet, fans also talked about the first half of this game.
"Why did Espanyol play against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu? Isn't this looking for death? Some fans asked suspiciously.
Netizen Meng Zhichang is obviously an old Real Madrid fan, and he is used to such a situation, he explained: "The Spaniard is the younger brother of Real Madrid, of course he has to find a way to lose to the boss openly." ”
Netizen Tang Jie also said, "Because he is Real Madrid's first little brother in Catalonia, he is missing points and will knock Barcelona to death." ”
Whenever you meet Barcelona, you will die, and when you meet Real Madrid, you will release water, such an opponent has meaning.
However, in fact, the Spaniards are not entirely to blame for this game.
Their main striker was injured and absent, and five other main players could not play due to injury, coupled with Real Madrid's full firepower in this game, it was naturally beaten into a cup.
……
In the second half of the game, the team was still leading by a large score, and the advantage on the field was obvious.
Zinedine Zidane began to rotate and let some players go off the pitch.
He first replaced Toni Kroos with Casemiro.
Kroos started every game, played every game, and was not injured much, which can be called a big iron man for Real Madrid.
In order to protect him, Zidane asked him to take a break.
This is Casemiro's first substitute appearance since Zinedine Zinedine Zidane took office. Zinedine Zidane needs to take this opportunity to familiarize himself with Casemiro's technical characteristics and examine how to use the player.
Casemiro came on and played in Kroos' midfield position.
Unlike Kroos, he covers a larger area than Kroos in defence, and even freed up Isco and Luka Modric to a certain extent, making the defensive task of the two midfielders a lot easier. Although Casemiro is not as good as Kroos, his passing ability is not bad.
Looking at Casemiro's performance on the pitch, Zidane was thoughtful.
Soon after, he replaced Modric and Chu Ge with James and Vargas.
After James came on the pitch, he finally got his wish to stand in the middle of the midfield.
With Casemiro as protection, coupled with Real Madrid's smooth play in this game, James also performed very well in this game.
Unlike Chu Ge's task of blasting on the wings, James is more of a glue, smoothing out Real Madrid's frontcourt and delivering shells to the strikers.
In the 82nd minute, James crossed from the left and Cristiano Cristiano Ronaldo headed in to score his third goal of the game.
5:0!
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick.
Then, in the 86th minute, while defending a cross from James, Oscar Duarte accidentally knocked the ball into his own goal.
6:0!
In the end, at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid beat Espanyol by six goals.
In terms of pitches and goals, they have a huge advantage.
Judging by the home performance, Real Madrid as a whole seemed to have moved on from a few defeats in the final month of Benitez's tenure to deliver a high-quality attacking feast in the first half of the game. In the post-match press conference, Zizou was also very happy with the positive and resolute attitude of the team on the field.
When asked about the performances of Chu Ge and James, Zidane had this to say.
'They were all very good today, Chu had a goal and also assisted Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo to score. It shows that he's integrated into the team and I'm not surprised by how he did today. This is his normal level. ”
'James did a great job as well, he did a good job of the task I gave him and brought the team together as a whole. Although he didn't score today, he provided an assist for Cristiano Ronaldo and also created an own goal for the opponent. ”
'We are lucky to have these two great players.
"Not only Chu and James, but also Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Luka Modric, Kroos, even Raphael Varane and Keylor Navas, the whole team has performed very well. Great players always play good games together, and working with them makes my job a lot easier. ”
Come on, Benitez.
