Chapter 403: Who Can Seize the Opportunity First?

Does Capello know about this hidden danger for Real Madrid? As the head coach of the team, he knows everything about the team.

This so-called hidden danger, of course, can't escape his eyes.

But he couldn't do anything.

He wanted to bring Emerson to Real Madrid to solve the problem, but due to the club's opposition and the limitation of the team's non-European places, Emerson was unable to make the trip.

As a young man, Emerson was arguably one of the best playmakers in the world, and his passing and dispatching skills may not be as good as Xavi and Pirlo, but his ability to get away from the ground and pass the ball is not inferior to both, and he also has the ability to break through with the ball himself.

But what Capello didn't know was that in another time and space, Emerson was obviously unaccustomed to Real Madrid after coming to Real Madrid, and his slow style of play was incompatible with this Real Madrid team that mainly played defensive counterattacks, and was rated by fans as the worst signing of the season. As soon as Capello left, he followed.

Among the remaining players to choose from, in Capello's opinion, Diarra has little organizational ability, he is just a beast. Harvey. He was immature and did not show any organizational talent. Guti has a good attack, but he is also not good at organization and is weak defensively.

Beckham's organizational skills are a little bit stronger. But Capello doesn't like Beckham, and Beckham's best position isn't in the middle.

In this heavyweight matchup, Capello ultimately chose Guti as Diarra's partner, but he could not compliment Guti for his ability to organize the fight.

So in terms of tactical design, Capello is to let Licardo and Kaka afford a certain amount of frontcourt organization.

As for the organisation of the midfield, Capello has almost completely given up.

Abandoning the midfield organisation will certainly make the game look ugly, and most of the time it will be pressed by the opponent. But as long as you can win, you can play any way, and that's Capello's philosophy of football.

And...... Capello sneered, isn't Barcelona's hidden danger even more obvious.

Take a look at the Barcelona midfield trio. Xavi, Deco, Iniesta. All three are good playmakers, with Deco and Andres Iniesta also attacking strongly. But defensively, all three can only be regarded as "eye defense".

Such a three-man midfielder, with the ability of Ricardo, Kaka and Raul, can completely blow them up!

Come on, come on, come and hurt each other! Even if you can get into one of me, my attackers can get in both of you! Capello thought.

In the coming period, both sides have their chances.

Barcelona shifted the focus of attack from Ronaldinho's side to the side of young Messi, and the two often switched positions, and the attack suddenly became fluid. And Real Madrid's counter-attack is still sharp.

In the 20th minute, Messi received a quick free kick from Ronaldinho, flexibly moved left and right to break through to the penalty area, and Gudjohnsen fell down after making physical contact with Cannavaro when he was about to get the ball.

The Barcelona player immediately called for a penalty, but the referee ignored it.

In order to curb Messi, who suddenly became active, Diarra also received a yellow card.

In the 23rd minute, after receiving the ball in the box, Ricardo attracted the attention of three defenders, causing a huge gap in the middle of the Barcelona penalty area, and then he passed the ball with his back heel. Diarra followed up with a volley from the top of the box, but unfortunately missed the spot, allowing the perfect opportunity to fly away.

Ricardo silently thought: It's good to focus on defense, why bother to participate in the attack? This ball you concede, the back of Kaka to shoot is not better.

A minute later, Barcelona also created a good chance when Ronaldinho switched positions with Messi, who broke through on the right and passed the ball to Messi, who deftly shook off the angle and volleyed hard with his left foot. But the ball was hit a little squarely and was saved by Casillas.

Casillas threw the ball in his hand to launch a counter-attack, but it didn't go far, the ball was robbed midway through, and Xavi tucked the ball into the feet of Ronaldinho with precision.

Ronaldinho cut inside quickly with the ball and collided with Cannavaro at the top of the box. The Barcelona player asked for another penalty, but the referee ignored it and signaled for the game to continue.

Real Madrid launched a counter-attack with a long pass on the spot, Guti passed the ball to Kaka, who dribbled through the midfield at high speed and quickly handed the ball to Ricardo.

Ricardo stopped in a row, brushed past the little man Andres Iniesta, and then slotted a straight ball into the left flank.

Ruud van Nistelrooy appeared ghostly on the trajectory of the ball, flicking the ball into the box.

Valdés struck quickly and pounced ferociously on the ball. Ruud van Nistelrooy flicked the ball past Valdés' lunge, but his foot tripped over Valdés' hand and he fell into the box.

Van Nistelrooy ...... Was he tripped by Valdés and was about to give a penalty? The referee signals the game to continue! No penalties! "The Real Madrid players were very unhappy with the ball, Raul ran over and said a few words to the referee, who shook his head and ran away. If this is to be awarded, then the foul that Cannavaro committed on Gudjohnsen and Ronaldinho should also be awarded a penalty, and I think the Real Madrid players should quickly calm down and get into the game. Now they are still leading the score, and it's a good situation, so don't spoil it yourself. ”

However, the mood of the Real Madrid players has been affected to a certain extent. Replays were shown on the big screen above the pitch and in slow motion showed that it was an unmistakable foul and that a penalty should definitely be awarded.

Taking advantage of the lack of concentration of the Real Madrid players, Barcelona played several threatening attacks in a row.

In the 26th minute, the teenager Messi broke through with the ball on the right side, and passed back to the goal near the bottom line, Gudjohnsen swept the shot, and the football grazed the near post and hit the side netting.

Two minutes later, Andres Iniesta delivered a penetrating through ball that Messi was able to pick up the ball in good hands, but his left-footed shot from near the penalty spot grazed the crossbar.

Barcelona could have scored on both occasions, and Capello couldn't sit still, standing on the sidelines and shouting in command.

The current situation is that Barcelona's midfield is more organized, more controllable, almost completely controlled the game, and the attack is impressive.

Barcelona lacks a sapper-type midfielder, resulting in an empty defense at the edge of the penalty area, and Real Madrid's counterattack is also accurate, which can directly threaten Barcelona's goal every time.

There are loopholes on both sides, and there are opportunities for both sides. Who will be the first to seize the opportunity? Will Barcelona equalize first, or will Real Madrid extend the score first?
