Chapter 402: Real Madrid's Hidden Dangers?

"In the Champions League group stage in midweek, Real Madrid swept away the underdogs Bucharest 5-1, and the players gained confidence and the main players left the game early to rest and recover physically. Barcelona, on the other hand, lost to their rivals Chelsea in midweek, it was a tough game, they were extremely physically draining, and the loss also affected the team's morale," the commentator analyzed. Silvinho didn't get close to Kaka and gave the opposition the chance to kick in a cross from the edge of the box; Puyol, on the other hand, made a rare mistake in judging the landing point, losing to Ricardo, allowing him to calmly head the ball into the goal without defense. ”

'However, conceding too early in this game was a positive stimulus for the Barcelona players and now they are in high spirits and I believe they have every chance of coming back to the scoreline.

As soon as the words were finished, Ronaldinho created a threat, and he nimbly ran to the ribs to receive the ball and was ready to wipe it in, but Ramos made a timely tackle to break the ball out.

Capello immediately stood up and shouted at the stadium that the defenders should pay attention to Ronaldinho's marking, and not let him get the ball so easily.

Since the end of last season, Ronaldinho's form has declined.

Ordinary fans may not realize this, after all, from the data point of view, his shots, shots on target, goals, assists, key passes and other statistics have not declined.

However, experts have keenly noticed that Ronaldinho's breakthroughs, the number of times he gets rid of the ball on the spot has dropped dramatically, and he is rarely like when he was at his peak, and after getting the ball, he can break out of the bag of two or three or three, or even three or four people, and create a threat.

Although theoretically, Ronaldinho is only 26 years old and should be at his peak, but his private life is too disorderly, and he does not work hard enough in training, experts analyze, which has led to a decline in his muscle strength, and his body has begun to bless, and his muscles cannot support him to complete those trick-like movements in the past.

It's a common sight on the pitch nowadays when he tries to break through, the ball has already passed, and his man is half a beat slower.

The impact is fatal.

Of course, his awareness, his movement, his passing, is still top in the world, so he can still contribute a decent number of goals and assists and his stats still look impressive.

Only those who actually fought him knew that he was no longer at his peak.

When Real Madrid's defence focused on him, Ronaldinho was literally frozen for a short time.

This led to a period of time when Barcelona's attack was blocked. On the contrary, Real Madrid played well and was very threatening on several counterattacks.

In the 14th minute, Real Madrid broke the ball at the back and had another chance to counterattack. Ricardo ran to the left, while Raul quickly switched positions with him and ran down the middle.

Guti played a half-high ball to the left, and Ricardo played a small scorpion tail swing on the run, slamming the ball forward with his backheel, smoothly past Zambrotta, who had pounced too hard, and then cut inside quickly.

In the face of the snatching Thuram and the relentless Zambrotta, Ricardo slowed down slightly, stepped on the bicycle a few times in a row, and then suddenly flicked the ball to the bottom line, quickly stopped the ball and turned around, took the ball with his left foot, and a simple "McGiddy" shook out of the gap.

He didn't delay the opportunity and quickly swept the ball down the middle, and Raul followed up without stopping the ball and fired directly with his left foot.

His shot deflected off Puyol, who was flying through the bullet hole, and hit the crossbar and bounced back.

Valdés immediately saved the ball.

There was a loud sigh from the stands.

Countless fans made a gesture of hugging their heads.

It was a great opportunity, Ricardo attracted two defenders, the middle was almost empty, Raul was only 7 or 8 metres away from goal, and it was a must-score no matter how you look at it.

If he hadn't been in such a hurry and had taken the ball and shook off Puyol, he might have scored.

But Raul may have been in poor form, a little lacking in self-confidence, and he didn't dare to make a move, so he wasted this opportunity.

Valdés launched a counter-attack with a hand-tossed ball, and after Xavi's dispatch, finally handed the ball to Ronaldinho, who reluctantly chose to shoot himself from distance under a tight defense, and the ball was far off target.

Ronaldinho shook his head regretfully and looked at Ricardo.

Although he had known for a long time that this little guy was extraordinary, no one could have imagined that he would rise so quickly. After Ronaldo left, he became the pillar of Inter Milan, scoring more than 30 goals in a season; At the age of 20, he became the main player of the Brazilian national team, scoring five goals in five games in the World Cup. And what is commendable is that these 5 goals were not scored on the fish belly team, but in a tough battle.

Now transferred to La Liga, he has scored seven goals in seven league games......

The little brother is so powerful, and I, the big brother, can't admit defeat. For a long time, Ronaldinho felt that he had no goal in football, and simply enjoyed the joy of football.

But now, he is hot in his heart and wants to compete with this little brother!

"Little brother, let me show you the strength of the Golden Globe winner!"

But it was Ricardo who showed off first.

In the 18th minute, Ricardo won the ball in the middle, and this time he did not choose to pass it immediately, but dribbled the ball diagonally to the left front 45 degrees, and broke through the eye defense of Deco and Xavi in succession.

On the corner of the box, he suddenly accelerated, used his speed to force his way between Zambrotta and Thuram, and forced his foot to shoot into the far corner from a very tight angle.

Fortunately, Valdés was very focused, and immediately knelt down on one knee with his right foot, stretched out his left foot, and narrowly touched the football. The trajectory of the football has changed, slightly off the post, out of the baseline.

"Licardo's shot! Valdés made a brilliant save," the commentator said regretfully, "and Ricardo was sorry for it, it was a very good chance. He shot past four men in a row and if he had scored, he would have had a good chance of being the best goal of the round. ”

"Real Madrid's tactics are still too monotonous, with heavy defensive forces at the back, and after Zinedine Zidane's departure, their midfield lacks an efficient playmaker. Whether it's Harvey. Garcia, Beckham or Guti, who played as a midfielder in this game, cannot be compared with Zidane in terms of organizational talent. So now Real Madrid's attack is too dependent on the individual ability of the frontcourt players. This is the hidden danger of Real Madrid! ”
