254, rainbow arc
In this game, Chu Ge got the opportunity to start.
He made the team's frontcourt trident with Cristiano Ronaldo and Vazquez.
In addition, Brazilian defender Casemiro has become Real Madrid's new midfielder with Kroos and James Rodriguez.
It was Casemiro's first start under Zinedine Zidane.
Due to the absence of the two captains of Ramos and Marcelo, the Portuguese central defender Pepe, who returned from injury, wore the captain's armband and became the captain of Real Madrid for this game.
The game soon began.
……
Zidane has been watching Casemiro a lot of the time.
Luka Modric is injured but Isco is still there.
If he had gone the same way, he would have had James James, Isco and Kroos in midfield and continue his previous style of play.
But Zidane didn't do that.
James can't match Modric in terms of running distance or defensive positivity. Therefore, in this game, Zidane simply replaced Casemiro, who is known for his defense, to see if Casemiro could achieve the effect he expected in his three-midfield system.
Judging by the first thirty minutes of the game, Casemiro's performance was qualified.
He covers a lot of area in defense and his relentless running makes the defensive stalwart feel presence. And what satisfies Zidane the most is that Casemiro has not slowed down the tempo of Real Madrid's midfield.
Casemiro may not have the flamboyant individual skills of a traditional Brazilian player, and his attacking desire is not even as good as that of a knife-carrying defender like Lucio, but his passing ability is not bad and his passing awareness is good.
Despite making his first start, he and Kroos are no strangers to the mix.
With Casemiro's presence, Kroos has become more comfortable in the attacking playmaker, which has also given Zidane some inspiration.
However, James' performance still made Zidane a little unsatisfied.
In a corner kick attack, the referee blew for a foul on the Real Madrid attacker, but James ignored the referee's whistle and the attitude of the players on both sides to stop the game, and directly shot from outside the penalty area, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Levante players and almost caused a clash between the two players. Fortunately, Pepe pulled James away in time, so that the conflict did not expand.
From the handling of this ball, it is revealed that there are some problems with Hames' current mentality.
Zidane glanced at James several times.
……
Chu Ge played as a striker in this game, and many times he was playing for his teammates, somewhat similar to Benzema's previous role.
He wasn't very comfortable with the position.
In the last game, he also played in the center forward position, but in that game, Isco and Modric supported him more strongly, coupled with Ronaldo's frequent changes, Chu Ge played quite smoothly.
But in today's game, Isco and Luka Modric did not play.
Kroos and Casemiro are positioned relatively far behind, and James likes to carry the ball himself a lot of the time, and is not very happy to pass the ball to Chu Ge, which is a bit awkward.
But despite this, Chu Ge has been running very hard, exercising his ability to run without the ball in the game.
A winger may be more focused on being able to play the ball, and to be a good striker, he has to be good off the ball. Taking advantage of Benzema's absence, it is quite rare to practice the ability to run without the ball in the center forward position of Real Madrid.
In the last derby match with Atletico Madrid, Chu Ge received a total of more than 30 million appreciation points.
That's a lot of that.
If there are seven or eight such games, it will be enough for an S-level attribute to be upgraded to SS.
However, it is a pity that there are only about two Madrid derbies in a season...... Add to that the more attention, the Spanish derby with Barcelona, a full La Liga season with a total of four heavyweight matches.
It's about the same as at Inter Milan.
If it is the Premier League, there may be more, and the number of "traffic clubs" in the Premier League has some advantages over other leagues.
The newly added appreciation points, Chu Ge does not plan to use them for the time being.
He's going to see how Real Madrid progress in the Champions League this season.
If Real Madrid's European competition goes well this season, Chu Ge plans to accumulate all the appreciation points, and then try to exchange for an SS-level attribute in the final game, and use the appreciation points on the occasions that can play the most role; If the European competition doesn't go well, Chu Ge will have to consider whether to use the odd-numbered roulette wheel again to see what kind of random rewards he can get.
……
Soon the game was played in the 39th minute.
Chu Ge pulled to the right side to get the ball.
"Chu Ge and Vazquez set fire on the right side of Levante."
"Beautiful! Chu Ge used his trademark Marseille maneuver past a Levante defender, and he crossed the ball to Vázquez. ”
Vazquez passed the ball to Chu Ge again.
After receiving the ball, Chu Ge stepped on the football and pulled it back, and then a spiritual heel knocked the ball to change direction, shaking off the Levante defender's forward pressing.
Then, just as he was about to burst forward with the ball, the defender he shook past pushed him from behind the side.
Chu Ge lost his center of gravity and fell into the forbidden area.
“B——”
The referee's whistle sounded.
"Penalty!"
"The referee pointed his hands to the penalty spot, the Levante defender fouled Chu Ge in the penalty area, and Real Madrid got a penalty opportunity!"
……
"Well done!"
"The breakthrough move is beautiful!"
The teammates praised Chu Ge one after another.
Chu Gele smiled.
……
Real Madrid's penalty kicks were all taken by Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo held the ball and walked to the penalty spot.
At this time, Chu Ge was also prompted by the system and won a superstar appreciation point from Ronaldo.
In many cases, Superstar Appreciation Points do not have a bonus skill, but each Superstar Appreciation Point is equivalent to one million ordinary Appreciation Points.
Unexpectedly gained one million appreciation points, Chu Ge was still quite happy.
Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty unsurprisingly found the hole in Levante's goal.
1:0。
Real Madrid took the lead away from home.
Zidane smiled on the sidelines.
……
Six minutes later, Real Madrid took advantage of the opponent's attack and played a quick counter-attack.
Cristiano Ronaldo took the initiative to push up the front line, he attracted two Levante defenders, took the ball with his back, and then swung his calf to provide Chu Ge with a wonderful assist.
Chu Ge easily won the ball and burst into the penalty area.
In the face of the Levante goalkeeper's attack, he made a light volley and lifted the football over the goalkeeper's head.
The soccer ball flew out of the air in a rainbow-like arc and crashed into the net.
2:0!
Chu Ge scored again!
Five main players were absent, away to challenge the relegation team, Real Madrid got a two-goal lead!
Zidane began to applaud in the dugout.
Chu Ge's goal finally let go of his hanging heart.
