Chapter 889: James Rodriguez
When the players of both sides appeared in the BernabΓ©u stadium, the temple of football, Real Madrid's team song "Come on!" sounded on the radio all around. Madrid", and the die-hard home fans in the stands also sang the team anthem, so Real Madrid's home atmosphere looks very strong.
At the same time, all the fans in the main stand of the stadium held up the white or blue mosaic boards that the club had placed under the seats in advance, which visually appeared to be pure white mosaic boards, and some fans in the second floor of the grandstand held up the blue mosaic boards and spelled them into the letters 'REAL-MADRID', which looked menacing......
This national derby would not have been possible even in the 2004-2007 period, but with the return of Eroto to Mestalla today, the squad has been raised enough to threaten Real Madrid and Barcelona, and Real Madrid fans have racked their brains to get this formation.
You must know that Real Madrid fans, who consider themselves the most noble in the world, have never disdained to do such indiscriminate things......
I think they laughed at Barcelona for pretending, but now feng shui can flow, the last round of away defeat to Barcelona, this round of sitting at the Bernabeu is not allowed to win!
Not even even!
Therefore, as long as it can increase the chances of Real Madrid winning at home, then Real Madrid fans who think they are noble can only choose to compromise and sacrifice for the team.
But this game is also important for Valencia, Barcelona beat the home team Osasuna 3-0 in the just concluded away league, only three points behind Valencia in the first game, and also reversed Real Madrid with 14 games, 11 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses to become second in the league, so the victory or defeat of this national derby later becomes particularly important.
When the players entered the field, the on-site director successively gave the camera to Real Madrid President Florentino and Valencia new President Xiao Lei sitting in the VIP seats, and then gave the players from both sides of the game lined up.
Of course, the live broadcast also has a mosaic board that takes care of the momentum of the Bernabeu Stadium.
After a series of pre-match fixation ceremonies, with players from both sides on their sides, Iello and David Villa stood in the middle of the pitch as they waited for the referee to blow the opening whistle.
Iroh, who was stepping on the football, was very emotional, and he couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces of five years ago.
It was a week before the second leg of the 2004-2005 season Real Madrid vs Valencia, Valencia suddenly had a wide range of injuries, and the manager at the time Ranieri had a headache, and the players of the B team could not return to the first team in the middle of the season, so they could only select players in the youth team.
Originally made into the 18-man squad as a group, he was called up in the first half of the league at the Bernabeu because of a strange injury to his teammates, so he started the first game of his career in a daze, and faced the super Real Madrid of the Galaxy Battleship generation, competing with superstars such as Raul, Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, Carlos, and Beckham.
However, his time quietly came, and three spectacular goals helped Valencia defeat Real Madrid away to start his legendary journey......
At this moment, the more than 90,000 fans at the Bernabeu Stadium suddenly erupted in huge boos, pulling Ielo back from his thoughts to reality.
Obviously, the boo was for Iello because the fans in the stands didn't have any good impression of him.
All Real Madrid fans know that the most important thing for the home side to win at the Bernabeu is to keep Iroh out of the game, so they want to impress Iroh at this stage before the game starts, so that he will be out of form for the rest of the game.
David Villa, who was standing next to him, approached Iroh with his mouth covered, and quipped, "Hey, you guy...... Why is it so annoying? β
Iroh rolled his eyes: "It also depends on whether the personal influence is good or not, if it is replaced by you...... Does no one pay attention to it at all? β
"Are you sure?" David Villa said slyly.
"Not sure!"
David Villa, as the biggest contributor to Spain's World Cup victory, will be welcomed and applauded by Spanish fans no matter which stadium he is in La Liga, so Iello answered that he is not sure.
Beep~~~
Just then, the referee blew the whistle.
β»β»β»
"CCTV, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the Spanish national derby, Real Madrid at home against Valencia, the stars of the two teams are currently the two most expensive players on the planet, we usually say that football games cannot be measured in terms of money, but Cristiano Ronaldo and Iroh are worth 200 million euros together, which is equal to 1/5 of the total value of the two teams, and in the past thirteen rounds of the league, our player Iroh has scored a staggering 25 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo also scored twenty-one goals, making him the top scorer on the planet since the start of the new season with Barcelona's Lionel Messi......"
With the referee's whistle, La Liga commentator He Wei said in a gullif.
Valencia's trident is still the familiar of Eilo, David Villa and David Silva, the midfield is James Rodriguez, Albelda and Javi Martinez, the back line is Alba, Benatia, Godin and Azpilicueta, and goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei.
Real Madrid playing at home are playing in a relatively defensive four-five formation, with Marcelo, Pepe, Carvalho and Arbeloa in the back, Las Diarra, Khedira and Xavi Alonso in the back three, Ozil in front, and Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo in the front.
Therefore, Valencia, which has a more strategic lineup, mainly occupies the advantage on the field, and Real Madrid, which is fighting at home, is passively defensive.
Five minutes into the game, not to mention that Real Madrid didn't get too good shooting opportunities, but the defense is really to the point of leaking, Mourinho's three back midfielders have a very obvious effect on Ailuo's restrictive effect, plus Arbeloa's home face Ailuo's breakthrough is extremely fierce, grabbing, pulling, holding, pulling, pulling and other actions are endless.
With Ras Diarra and Khedira also playing out frequently, Real Madrid were excellent defensively, with the only thing that upset the home fans was getting a chance to hit the back of the net just five minutes into the game.
Real Madrid fans are arguably the hardest fan base in the world, and they demand that the team not only win, but also win beautifully!
However, after asking Real Madrid to win a beautiful and heavy defeat in the last round of away games, they gradually calmed down, and there is always nothing wrong with playing defensive counter-attacks against Valencia, who are currently the most attacking force in La Liga.
Jose Mourinho's pre-match instructions to Las Diarra were brilliantly completed, with Colombian James Rodriguez in a completely frozen state and not showing the effect he should have had, and Valencia's attack would have been chaotic had it not been for David Silva's retreat.
Ancelotti, who was watching the sidelines, shook his head repeatedly.
He knows that he is a bit of a suspicion that starting 19-year-old James Rodriguez in this game is a bit of a prodigy, and the young player should let him find confidence in the underdogs of La Liga......
But it was clear that replacing him in the first half was not a good option either, as it would ruin a talented player, so Ancelotti can only pray that James will at least behave normally for the rest of the game.

James Rodriguez's play was out of order, and Iroh saw it, and he took advantage of an opportunity for Casillas to prepare a goal kick, trotted to James Rodriguez, who was running back with his head down, reached out and put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Eh, Hames." β
James Rodriguez, who was running back in frustration, instinctively turned his head to see that it was the vice-captain Iro, and he raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "What, captain?" β
Iroh smiled, patted James Rodriguez on the shoulder and said, "I see that you are very stiff and have a hard time concentrating, do you feel a lot of pressure?" β
James Rodriguez was stunned before nodding.
"Actually, you don't have to think about it too complicated, it's just an ordinary La Liga." Iroh said, "By the way, you should know a lot about my deeds, right? β
James Rodriguez nodded repeatedly, he admired the vice-captain in front of him very much, otherwise he would not prefer to refuse Monaco, who promised a starting position, and chose to stay in Valencia.
"Then you know that my first league game of my career was against the Bernabeu, right? All of you think I'm born with a big heart, but I'll tell you a secret, I was very nervous at the time, but then I scored a hat-trick to lead the team to victory, you know why? β
James Rodriguez shook his head.
Iroh continued: "Because I told myself that being nervous didn't serve any purpose, it would affect me for the rest of my life, I didn't want to be a normal player, I wanted to be a national icon, a superstar like Ronaldo, Zidane, and finally I did it......"
At this moment, Casillas's goal kick kicked out with a big kick, just flying to the middle where Ailo was, and Khedira and Benzema immediately surrounded him, trying to control the first drop.
Iroh put his left arm against the strong Khedira, then pushed the ball towards the still stunned James Rodriguez as he stepped back.
ββ¦β¦ Nervousness doesn't work, it affects the rest of my life, I don't want to be an ordinary player, I want to be a national icon......" James Rodriguez was still muttering about what Iroh had just said.
At this time, the corner of his eye swept to the football that flew towards him, which ......
Xavi Alonso, with his experience and sharp eye, immediately saw that Valencia's number 28 was wandering, and it was a great opportunity to break the ball!
