Chapter 20: The Decisive Victory (I)
Chapter 20: The Decisive Victory (I)
Before this game, many people, especially many fans who are not very senior, do not take Redondo too seriously, because the player has only played in the World Cup once, and the journey has been very difficult.
Lao Ma once said that the coronation of the king of the ball requires the Hercules Cup as a scepter to ascend the throne, and in the same way, a large part of the reason why a top player needs to be recognized is how well he plays in the World Cup.
Such as Weah, Rush, Shepchenko, and others who have been famous all over the world before, can be said to be very few.
Such players can be named specifically for them, called underdog players.
An underdog is the kind of player who has the strength but doesn't get much recognition - such as the players who have a certain reputation but not very good ability in the games developed by several major football game companies.
Redondo is undoubtedly one of the unpopulars.
But in this game, it was the light of this underdog player that overshadowed all the teammates of the Galaxy Battleship, and even faintly suppressed the combination of Ling Feng and Ronaldo!
As soon as the first half of the game began, Real Madrid began a fierce attack under the instigation of Redondo!
Everyone knows that if there is no Ling Feng and Ronaldo, for many teams with a certain strength, he is a vegetable, a very vegetable...... Cuisine.
Málaga's dense defensive policy did not stop the individual breakthroughs of the top players and the team-wide cooperation, and at best only had the effect of delaying it.
The Bernabeu Stadium was packed with 95,000 fans, 90 per cent of whom were at home.
The chorus of 80,000 people kept the morale of the two teams on the same level at all, and the Bernabeu stadium resounded neatly: "Halamadrid!" hala
madrid! (Forward, Madrid)! ”
What is a giant, maybe the giants also have a time when they enter the trough, they may not have won the league championship that year, they even have nothing, and even the superstars in the team are not as bright as their opponents, but the giants, a very important measure is - how many fans they have!
There were only a pitiful 3,000 Malaga fans present, and less than 10,000 cheered for them, that is to say, the other 7,000 people could not be regarded as Malaga fans, it can only be said that they were fans of Ling Feng and Ronaldo, specially cheering for one person.
If it weren't for these two top champions in the team, Málaga would have given up on this game - because despite the difference in quality, the formation of the opposing home fans alone was enough to make the Málaga players lose their psychological balance.
The shouts and cheers of the fans, the crazy attack of the home team, as soon as the game began, Malaga fell into an extremely passive situation!
The psychological quality of the players is not good, they are disturbed by the opposing fans, their bodies are stiff, their hands and feet cannot be released, and they can't even play at less than half the level of training in handling the ball.
Ling Feng had no choice but to scramble for defense in the midfield in the opening stage - he usually doesn't do this kind of thing, because during his year in La Liga, he was basically in a very "lazy" state, and he didn't see the madness of running back and forth between the front and back courts.
If, if this is a game of the Chinese national team, as long as it is not an important event in the World Cup, maybe Ling Feng will still not choose to defend - because adversity is the best time to train players, relying on their own ability to survive adversity, it will be a great increase for players!
But now it's Malaga, first of all, the growth of the level of Malaga's players has nothing to do with Ling Feng - he is ready to run away after playing two more games, and secondly, if he loses this game, there will be no hope for the title of La Liga champion!
In the last game, Barcelona was absolutely sure, even if they might not win, but putting their fate in the hands of others and looking at other people's faces, Ling Feng couldn't do this kind of thing.
In just five minutes of the opening game, Redondo and Hiero behind him played a one-two in the midfield, breaking through Ling Feng's barrier, and Redondo rushed forward with the ball quickly.
Before the game, Ling Feng repeatedly emphasized when discussing tactics that he must guard against Redondo, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on the Malaga defenders.
Pressure doesn't mean motivation, especially at this time, when the pressure is a bit of a stretch for the players in Málaga.
With Raul in front of him, Redondo was in his own backyard when he faced a defender, and when he broke into the box, he cleverly crossed the box, and the youngster Morientes followed up with his feet to push the shot, but goalkeeper Arnault was on the spot to keep the ball out of the line with his chest.
Just five minutes into the game, Real Madrid created a dangerous shot on goal.
Similar to the last meeting, it was Redondo again, and the threat created by the defender again.
When he knew that this was his last game at the Bernabeu (the last Real Madrid game was away), Redondo put his full strength into play!
Perhaps, in terms of individual skills and threat, Redondo is a distance away from Ling Feng and Ronaldo, but Real Madrid's teammates continue to create chances for him, which allows the midfielder to have enough time on the ball and room to play.
The players in Malaga really wanted to give the ball to Ling Feng, but the problem was that it was broken before it could be given to Ling Feng's feet!
Gap, gap!
Two teams whose strength is not at the same level, even if one or two top stars are in charge, will be beaten passively in the overall competition.
Ling Feng had already seen this, and now after his position retreated to the midfield, he completely handed over the front court to Ronaldo, and just watched if he could pass him a few good balls, and then watched how the aliens played.
Of course, Real Madrid also attaches great importance to Ronaldo, Hiero is dangling back and forth for three meters next to him, not to mention, and Karanka is also on the side, Ling Feng passed a few good shots, but they were all cut off by these two guys in advance, and Ronaldo didn't even have a chance to get the ball.
At the 22nd minute of the first half, the deadlock was broken.
The scorer was Seedorf, the Dutch No.2 boar who had just celebrated his 24th birthday, and showed his superb long-range shooting ability.
When Redondo pressed the front but couldn't score, the No. 2 boar's 30-meter long-range shot opened the door of Malaga - compared to the long-range shooting ability, even the No. 1 boar Davis could not compare to him.
Finally the goal was scored, Real Madrid's morale was even stronger, and the fans in the stands continued to sing "Forward, Madrid" despite their voices!
It has to be said that this loud singing became the best slogan to inspire the players, and after only ten minutes, Redondo finally managed to break through on the wing, and then picked the ball into the box, Morientes headed the goal!
The ball flew past goalkeeper Arnault and into the net – but on the goalline, the little prince Raul twisted his ass and stabbed the ball into the goal.
Well, even if Raul scored the goal, Morientes could only be considered an assist - although, although Raul would have scored even if he hadn't touched the ball, he was the last player to take the initiative before the ball went into the net......
Morientes flattened his mouth, but when he saw Raul throw himself to the ground, he smiled and stopped talking.
Raul and Morientes are a pair of good friends, and even they themselves joked to the media that it was love at first sight with each other.
As for Raul snatching Morientes' goal - this is also a commonplace thing, anyway, after every success, Raul will treat Morientes to a meal after the game, and La Liga rarely counts their goals separately for the pair, all are evaluations, how many games the pair have scored, how many goals have been scored by the pair.
Two goals behind, and it was only half an hour into the first half.
If this continues, it is only a matter of time before Malaga loses this game!
Ling Feng returned to the backcourt, took the ball out of the goal, and then slapped every Malaga player on his ass to let them know that the game was not over yet, and there was no need to be so frustrated!
Then, Málaga began to counterattack!
After the halftime kick-off, Ling Feng's possession of the ball increased significantly, and Ronaldo's number of breakthroughs also increased.
In the thirty-five minutes of the first half, Ronaldo took the ball on the right sideline of the midfield, facing Redondo behind and Hiero in front of the defense, he decisively used his body to protect the ball, and then flicked the ball forward gently, passing past Hiero's feet, and then the whole person suddenly started, trying to insert from the other side of Hiero, to complete a ball split.
However, this was recognized by the opponent, and Hiero leaned his body against the opponent and quickly stretched out his foot to kick the ball off the sideline.
But when defending, Hiero hit Ronaldo's face with an inattentive wave of his hand, making the alien lie on the turf with his face covered in frustration.
This action sparked a certain argument between the players on both sides, and the referee also ran up to Hiero and gave him a verbal warning.
From this point, it can be seen that the anger of both sides is now a little bigger.
The game went on, and Málaga's free-kick opportunity did not pose much of a threat to the opposition as Real Madrid began to counter-attack.
Hiero split the ball and Panuzzi started to advance from the right and, after a quick individual break, distributed the ball to Seedorf in the middle.
The No.2 may not have been much in possession of the ball, but the boar's strong body made up for it, and his breakthrough made it difficult for the Málaga players to rely on a lot of movement to keep him out, which in this case was very prone to fouls.
Real Madrid were awarded a free-kick on the right side of the box, but Morientes headed Hiero's pass too wide and the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.
It's a great chance to fight back!
When Arnault held the ball in his arms, Ling Feng, who was in front of the big penalty area, quickly rushed forward along the right side, and at the same time Ronaldo also began to start forward, at this time the two defenders behind Real Madrid pressed in the midfield!
Arnault threw the ball directly with one hand, with great power, and threw the ball straight across the three-quarters of the court!
Although there was Seedorf's interference behind him, Ling Feng's body was not as bad as a wild boar at all, the two of them pulled and rushed out five or six meters, Seedorf finally couldn't match Ling Feng's speed, and was taken over by him!
Ling Feng has already got the ball!
Redondo quickly ran in front of Ling Feng and put on a posture of retreating and defending.
However, in the running, the defenders had a big hole, Ling Feng made a feint to knock the ball inward, forcing Redondo's body to tilt to the right, and then quickly rushed the ball forward, from his left, all the way up the sideline!
Although he didn't completely shake the other party to the ground, Redondo could no longer pose any threat to Ling Feng, and could only chase after him in vain, and the two rushed out of ten meters one after another, running through the arc of Real Madrid's midfield.
Ling Feng had several options at this time, one was to continue to pass people, completely get rid of Redondo behind him, and cut the movement route inward, as long as he succeeded, it would be a two-on-two situation with Ronaldo, for the two of them, this opportunity could not be more perfect!
Or continue to dribble the ball to the bottom line, with his speed so that the other defenders of the opposing team have not had time to return to the defense, at this time slow down on the wing, cross or cut into the penalty area.
However, Ling Feng chose to pass the ball directly.
A 45-degree diagonal pass with the right foot!
The ball flew over Sanchez's head and landed in the penalty area, and behind him, Ronaldo and Karanka were rushing together!
Ilgener also chose to abandon the goal at this time, and Sanchez also reacted and ran to the ball, that is to say, four people ran to that landing point at the same time, at this time, it depends on who has strong explosiveness!
Undoubtedly, this is Ronaldo's forte!
Ling Feng's landing point was very good, it happened to be on the route of Fei Luo's advance, he almost didn't make any movement towards the side, and rushed straight into the forbidden area like this!
Ronaldo was the first to arrive, and Karanka behind him was more than a metre away from the ball!
It's just more than one meter, it's a space that changes from quantity to quality!
The alien raised his leg high and picked it up with his right foot at the ball bouncing in front of him!
The ball flew over the head of the attacking Ilgena and fell into the gate!
1:2! Thirty-nine minutes into the first half! The aliens broke through the door of Real Madrid and narrowed the score gap to one goal!
