Chapter 890: Defensive Real Madrid
James Rodriguez repeated what Iello had just said, and immediately felt a sense of sublimation in his soul, and the tension that had accompanied him since the beginning of the game disappeared in the flash, and the corner of his eye happened to sweep the football at this moment, and his body quickly adjusted to prepare to catch the ball.
The on-site commentator Schheide was a little puzzled by Aillo's jumping to the top to give the ball to James Rodriguez, because David Silva, who was five meters on the right, was in a better position, and James Rodriguez's condition was not ideal in the past few minutes, and it could even be said that it was extremely bad, plus Xavi Alonso had his eyes on James Rodriguez, he shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "It seems that the possession of this rare center circle battle for the top is changing hands again." ”
Xavi Alonso watched James Rodriguez's outstretched foot take the ball, and suddenly accelerated to cut his body cross, ready to use his body to cut off the link between the football and James Rodriguez.
And he also saw Ozil approaching this side, if he could successfully break the ball and hand the ball to the spiritual Ozil, plus Cristiano Ronaldo, who has super scoring ability, then it is not impossible to play a textbook quick counterattack!
Mourinho, who is standing on the sidelines and directing the battle, also seems to smell a hint of being able to play a quick counter-attack, his vision is more open than Xavi Alonso on the field, Ozil's proximity and Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo's running, it is time to witness the power of a week's defensive counterattack!
Thinking of this, Mourinho secretly clenched his fists into the pockets of his windbreaker, and the whole person looked high-spirited, as if the bad luck of the last round of away defeat to Barcelona had been swept away.
But...... The premise of everything is to successfully break the ball.
James Rodriguez sensed Xavi Alonso's intentions at the moment he was about to receive the ball, and the toe of his right foot, which was about to stop the ball, slammed into the lower right of the football, and the innate football talent of the South American player was vividly displayed at this time, and the football flew to the upper left of his body in the surprised eyes of Xavi Alonso, which was very different from the severance of football connection he imagined.
Xavi Alonso was unexpected, and it was too late to react secondly.
Because James Rodriguez quickly retracted his foot after picking up the ball with his right toe, he stretched his right leg and got stuck in the place where Xavi Alonso had to turn to the left.
Reasonable card slot!
Immediately afterwards, James Rodriguez used his chest to pat the ball that fell in mid-air forward, and unloaded the ball to the ground with his right foot during the run, and broke forward!
Everyone was a little unprepared for James Rodriguez's previous decline, so much so that when he dribbled the ball to 35 meters, he was met by the experienced central defender Carvalho, due to the lack of a point of delivery, James Rodriguez slammed the ball to the left with the inside of his right foot, glanced up at Casillas' position slightly, and shot directly from a distance with his left heel.
The angle of the ball was very tricky, Casillas moved two steps to the right, flew to the side, and lifted the ball off the line with one palm.
At the same time, a loud exclamation erupted over the Bernabeu Stadium.
At this time, the players on both sides of the field reacted, and James Rodriguez, who had been performing very poorly before, seemed to have suddenly changed as a person.
Hyde in the commentary seat opened his mouth half-open, and after recovering his voice, he said, "I'm sorry, I took back all the words I just said about Hames...... His previous slump in form was just an attempt to confuse Real Madrid's players on the pitch, and his lobbles, high-speed dribbles and shots just now proved that he is a talented young player! Fifteen million euros is worth it! Come on!! ”

"Good guys!" Iroh smiled and ran to James Rodriguez, touching his head affectionately.
The rest of the Valencia team did the same, patting their shoulders, rubbing their heads, or hugging them......
James Rodriguez looked embarrassed in the face of Ielo and his teammates who rushed to cheer him on, and the shyness characteristic of young people was unmistakable.
With that beautiful pick and a brilliant long-range shot after the raid, James Rodriguez's self-confidence has been greatly increased, and Valencia's attack has also been enriched by him, compared to David Silva's playmaking ability, James Rodriguez has more forward ability and some playmaking ability.
In other words, James Rodriguez can relieve the organizational pressure of David Silva when the latter's organization is unable to stretch smoothly, and when David Villa and Elo lack forward space, James Rodriguez can act as the team's second striker and then insert to participate in the assist, bringing new changes to the team's attack and making Real Madrid's defenders unable to defend themselves.
As time went on, Valencia's attack became more threatening, so much so that Mourinho could not stand in his assigned area and direct the game.
In the twelfth minute, when James Rodriguez was killed by Ielo and David Villa, he took the ball in the middle and played a wall-to-wall link with Iro, who was facing away from goal, and then fired a direct shot from distance.
Had it not been for Casillas' good position, James Rodriguez's long-range shot from about 26 yards would have knocked on the door.
"Russ, pay attention to the other party's 28th forward insertion, and let Sammy and Xavi help you take care of it when necessary!" James Rodriguez was getting more and more active, taking up almost two-thirds of Valencia's dangerous attack, and Mourinho took advantage of a dead-ball opportunity to call Las Diarra to the touchline and play the right spot.
After Real Madrid's latest changes at home, James Rodriguez's space has been forcibly compressed.
However, he does have a high football IQ, and after knowing that he is being targeted by the Real Madrid defenders, he did not force a breakthrough because of his recent outstanding performances, but passed the ball to Arlo or David Silva, who were given space, and they could find a way to find a way on the flanks again.
Gradually, Mourinho found that instead of limiting James Rodriguez, he should focus on Aelo, who was a more dangerous goalkeeper.
If it weren't for Azpilicueta's cross being a little hesitant, then both David Villa and Iello in the middle of the penalty area would have been able to get a good chance to get their feet.
During that time, Real Madrid's attacking attack was organised by Xavi Alonso and Mesut Ozil, and there were a few good attacks, but Cristiano Ronaldo looked a little quick, with shots ranging from high to wide.
※※※
In the 19th minute of the game, the broadcasters gave the ball ratio for both sides, and Valencia, who were playing away, had a 61% advantage in possession.
This time the attack was just dominated by Valencia, who had the advantage of possession, and David Silva, who attacked on the right flank, went straight to the right wing-back Azpilicueta, who was inserted at high speed, due to the excessive strength, Azpilicueta lost the best opportunity to cross in order to stop the football, and he had to pass the ball back to the playmaker David Silva.
David Silva didn't lift his head, but with the arch of his right foot, he fed the ball directly to James Rodriguez, who gave the ball away, stopped the ball comfortably with his left foot, and looked up in the direction of the penalty area, looking for the spot.
Las Diarra, who was defending the 30-metre zone, and Mesut Ozil, who had regained his way to defend in the middle, came out and combined to interfere with James Rodriguez.
At this time, David Villa, who crossed the line of the big penalty area, suddenly accelerated and stepped forward to the right front, and Khedira, who was protecting at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, quickly turned around and wanted to jam the front point, and the central defender Pepe also ran forward with David Villa, which means that David Villa's forward insertion attracted the attention of the two defenders.
At the same time, Aelo at the far end suddenly accelerated with David Villa's forward rhythm, Carvalho and Abeloa, who recycled into the penalty area, used Aillo's body to cover the referee's vision, and respectively used their hands to stealthily pull Aillo's shirt to prevent him from accelerating easily.
James Rodriguez crossed directly with the inside of his left foot to the back of the box, which was on the forward path of Iro.
Carvalho is the kind of player who relies on consciousness to defend, so he is destined to lack confrontation ability, coupled with the fact that he is also thirty-two years old this year, if he is not careful, he only hears the sound of 'bang' cloth tearing, and Airo relies on his super explosive power to force up and go.
Abelloa's right hand was also painful, and instinctively relaxed.
Finished!
Carvalho had only those two words left in his head.
However, the next moment, he had a feeling that he was desperate, because the ball did not have a clear arc in mid-air, which meant that Iroh needed to make a quick stop to get the football.
Iroh hurriedly braked and stopped suddenly, and Abeloa was quick and hugged Iro's waist from behind up.
Because he saw that there were no defenders between Carvalho and Pepe, if Ielo had parked the ball comfortably forward, the goal loss rate would have exceeded 90%!
Real Madrid fans in the stands were horrified to see Arbeloa's defensive move, and if Iello fell to the ground, it would definitely be a penalty!
The referee frowned, holding the whistle in his mouth with his right hand, as if waiting for Ielo to fall to the ground.
Originally, Iroh was going to park the ball with the instep of his right foot before hitting the goal, but now with Arbeloa's interference, he became a little overwhelmed.
Fall, Bo penalty?
This possibility was directly denied by Iroh as soon as it came to mind.
So...... Forced shot?
