Chapter 619: All-round striker

In the other game played at the same time, Barcelona, who also sent a large number of substitutes, ended the first half with a score of 2-0 thanks to goals from Messi and Neymar, but two fatal mistakes in the second half of the second half destroyed the almost inevitable victory, and was finally held to a 2-2 draw by the home team Sevilla.

In this way, the gap between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid has also widened to 11 points, with only 7 rounds left in La Liga, Barcelona must not only ensure that they win all the games, but also pray that Atletico Madrid can continue to make mistakes and lose at least three games, and then ensure victory in the penultimate round of the "Battle of Kings Mountain", so as to have a chance to prevent Atletico Madrid from winning two consecutive La Liga titles.

However, with Atletico Madrid's current strength and near-peak competitive state, it is obviously impossible to leave Barcelona with a chance to reverse at the last moment, so Barcelona, like Real Madrid, only has the theoretical possibility of winning the championship.

In the match between Real Madrid and Eibar later in the game, Ronaldo, who was expected to sit on the bench, unexpectedly appeared in the starting lineup.

In fact, Carlo Ancelotti didn't want Ronaldo to start, after all, the Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid in four days was a crucial battle for whether he could continue to be in charge of Real Madrid.

However, when Ronaldo learned that Feng Quan was not in the 18-man squad against Malaga, he asked Carlo Ancelotti to send himself into a starting role against Eibar.

Although Ancelotti was reluctant, he agreed to the other party's request for war at Ronaldo's insistent request. However, in order to avoid the embarrassing scene of the last round of the game until the last moment, Ancelotti "tactfully" asked Ronaldo to be more reasonable in the choice of attack, try not to choose to shoot when the opportunity is not very good, but to seek more cooperation with other teammates.

Although Ronaldo verbally agreed to Ancelotti's request, as long as the football reached his feet after the game started, he would basically choose to force the goal after the breakthrough. Unless it is difficult to find a shooting opportunity in the face of the opponent's multi-person package, Ronaldo will reluctantly choose to return the ball to other teammates.

At the beginning, Carlo Ancelotti could barely tolerate Ronaldo's approach, after all, this game is likely to be the Portuguese's last chance to catch up with Feng Quan in the scorer charts.

However, seeing that nearly half an hour had passed in the game, and Real Madrid, who had the absolute initiative on the field, was unable to break the deadlock on the field, Ancelotti finally couldn't bear to rush to the sidelines and yelled with an angry face: "Cristiano, if you continue to play like this, I can't guarantee that you will appear in the second half of the game." ”

Ancelotti, who is always gentle and elegant on weekdays, suddenly became angry and made Ronaldo, who has always respected Ronaldo alone, stunned. Cristiano Ronaldo believes that if he continues like this, he may not wait until the end of the first half before Carlo Ancelotti replaces him.

As a result, Ronaldo immediately changed his game strategy of focusing on individual attacks, and turned to seek more cooperation with other teammates.

In fact, in addition to Ronaldo's excellent scoring ability, his personal breakthrough and passing awareness, as well as his ability to read the game are quite good, as long as he is willing to play the role of "all-round striker" on the court like Feng Quan.

On the surface, it may seem that if you want to become a qualified "all-round striker", you may sacrifice your own goal statistics, but in fact, if you can find the right balance on your own, it will not only not affect your personal goal statistics, but also create more opportunities and space for other teammates to attack.

It is not easy to find this "balance point", and it is necessary to let the defenders have a variety of defensive judgments in their minds when they get the ball, such as "this guy may choose to break through, may choose to shoot, and may also seek cooperation with teammates".

As a result, it is extremely difficult for defenders to make accurate judgments, knowing that it only takes a few tenths of a second for a superstar like Feng Quan to change the tide of the game.

Of course, in addition to the above conditions, you also need a group of teammates who can reach a tacit understanding with themselves and are willing to make sacrifices for themselves, otherwise Messi may have been able to lead the Argentine team to the World Cup championship and become a well-deserved king.

Although Ronaldo does not have the absolute speed advantage of Feng Quan, the more experienced Portuguese is better than Feng Quan in terms of man-ball combination and ability to read the game.

Therefore, when he let go of his obsession with scoring goals and was truly willing to seek cooperation with his teammates, the Eibar defence, which had been struggling to support, soon showed a tendency to fall apart.

In the 36th minute of the first half, after receiving a pass from J. Rodriguez in the front, Ronaldo first cut to the edge of the penalty area with his skillful personal skills, and after a slight adjustment, he picked up his right foot to make a long-range shot.

Since Ronaldo had all chosen to shoot himself after cutting inside, three Eibar pounced from the left, center and right directions to try to block his shot.

However, Ronaldo did not choose to force a shot this time, but aimed between the legs of the defender in front of him on the left and sent the football to the left side of the penalty area.

Then, after Isco, who was diagonally cut into the penalty area, swept the ball near the penalty spot before the defender cleared it, J. Rodriguez, who was outflanked in place, sent the ball directly into the top left corner of the opponent's goal with a left-footed shot.

Six minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo did not choose to cut inside the middle after winning the ball on the left side of the front again, but broke forward along the sideline.

When Ronaldo broke through to a position six or seven meters away from the baseline, he suddenly made a sudden stop, and while half-turning his body, he knocked the ball to his right back with the outside of his right foot.

The next moment, before the defender had time to shift his weight, Ronaldo used his right foot to pass the ball between the opponent's legs, and then quickly dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Just when the Eibar players thought that Ronaldo, who broke into the penalty area, would inevitably choose to hit the goal by himself, the Portuguese did not hesitate to pass the ball to J. Rodriguez, who received in the middle.

As Cristiano Ronaldo's breakthrough attracted the attention of most of the Eibar players, J. Rodriguez could send the ball into the opponent's goal very calmly.

At half-time, Carlo Ancelotti first fully affirmed Ronaldo's performance in the second half of the first half, and then asked if the opponent needed to take an early break in order to better prepare for the Champions League match in midweek.

When Cristiano Ronaldo said he had no fitness problems, Carlo Ancelotti dismissed the idea of replacing him.

After the start of the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had already helped the team take a two-goal lead, continued to seek cooperation with his teammates while also trying to make his own kick.

However, the Eibar goalkeeper, who was pierced twice by Isco and Jesse in the first 20 minutes of the second half, showed extraordinary courage in the face of Ronaldo's shot.

It wasn't until the 81st minute of the game that Ronaldo finally scored the first goal of the game with a penalty kick opportunity he created, thus locking the final score of the game at 5-0.
