Chapter 887: The Change of Formation

In order to let Lin Yu find the feeling of scoring goals, when facing Espanyol in the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, Zidane put Lin Yu in the team's starting lineup, and said in a high-profile manner before the game: "Our team is here to win the championship, and at the Bernabeu Stadium, Espanyol will never be allowed to have any chance of turning the tables!" ”

In fact, this is not a provocation, but it is a kind of pressure on the players, Lin Yu of course also felt this pressure, he was eager to try, since Zidane has placed himself in the starting lineup, then let's do a good job of activities, and prepare for the upcoming Champions League knockout round.

Before this game, the media unanimously said: "Espanyol looks like there is no hope, Lin Yu starts, which means that Zidane is determined to advance in the game, although Lin Yu failed to score in the last league game, but two assists still allowed Real Madrid to beat Espanyol 2-0 in the league, so today, the outcome of the Spaniards may still not make any difference, if you want to say proud, it is probably that they can play at the Bernabeu Stadium twice in a row." ”

Not only the media thinks so, but even Espanyol coach Aguirre has a deep worry: "I think Zidane thinks too highly of us, and actually sent Lin Yu, in fact, he doesn't have to do this, he can beat us at home." ”

Zidane listened to these words, but he didn't dare to take them lightly, he didn't care what Aguirre or the media said, what he wanted was as simple as a victory, eliminating the Spaniards, and successfully advancing to the semifinals, maybe the Copa del Rey will become the first championship for Real Madrid this season.

In the pre-match speech. Zinedine Zidane told the players who were about to play: "Although you are a substitute, you are stronger than other people's main forces. Truth be told, a draw was reached away from home with Espanyol. I'm not satisfied, this home round, I hope you can win cleanly! Don't give the enemy any respite, I've let it out, and if you try to make a fool of me, it's going to end badly! And you Lin Yu! Any idea why I let you play? ”

"Of course."

'You didn't score against Espanyol in the last game, it shows that you don't pay attention to the game, it's not a good performance, and I hope you can change that mentality. Whether it's pressure or not, try to score goals and don't feel like it doesn't matter if you score or not, you know, I've told the media that you're going to be the only god in football, and we want you to continue to be above all the players, you know? ”

"Understood." Lin Yu didn't think it was a big deal for him not to score before, because he didn't score in one game. With two more assists and even being voted the best of the game after the game, what else is there to fault with such a performance? What's more. His only opponent, Messi, is getting more and more away from him in the number of goals, and he doesn't need to rush at all.

But when he heard Zidane's words at this time, he was a little ashamed. The best in the game is definitely not enough, and my requirements for myself cannot be limited to the best in the game. If you want to become a god yourself, then you must try to do what others can't do in every game. That's the realm of God.

……

After Zidane's advice, Lin Yu decided to take the Spaniards as the object of his flag, although the teammates behind him may not be as powerful as the main force, but it is not bad, everyone is usually training together, and also played teammates, Lin Yu believes that he can put on a performance that will amaze everyone by the media.

In the fifth minute of the game, Lin Yu broke the silence of the audience with a shocking long-range shot and gave the Spaniard a heavy punch.

This goal was scored by Lin Yu forty-one meters away from the goal, and the goalkeeper of the Spaniards, Asenjo, was like a ghost, his eyes widened, and he didn't understand how Lin Yu was completely different from the last league game.

And this ball is just the beginning of Asenjo's nightmare.

This game was destined to be a one-sided massacre, because Lin Yu decided not to show mercy, then it was tantamount to throwing the Spaniards into hell.

Next, in the twenty-sixth minute of the game, Benzema, who played the winger position in this game, received a back-heel pass from Lin Yu and easily rewrote the score to 2:0.

At the end of the first half, when the referee was about to blow the whistle for the end of the game, Real Madrid got a corner kick, Di Maria took a corner kick, Lin Yu jumped high in the penalty area, grabbed the ball before everyone, and sent the ball into the Espanyol goal, and the score instantly changed to 3:0.

As a result, the score between the two sides has changed from 3:3 to 6:3 over the two legs, and it can be said that the Spaniards have no hope of qualifying, and not only that, they may have to face Real Madrid's unjustified madness.

In the second half, the game was changed to fight again, less than three minutes after the game began, Lin Yu scored a hat trick, which was a free kick at an almost zero degree angle, and others generally chose to pass to their own players in the penalty area, but Lin Yu chose to shoot directly, and then the ball went in.

4:0, the score of the two legs was rewritten to 7:3.

At this time, I have seen the desperate and helpless expressions on the faces of the Espanyol players, no matter how they play, whether they play against each other or let go of the whole team, they can't stop Real Madrid's crazy attack, and they can only swallow bitter fruits.

In the 60th minute of the game, Di Maria made a long-range shot from outside the penalty area to rewrite the score to 5:0, so that all three fields in front of him scored.

In the seventy-ninth minute of the game, Isco was not willing to be lonely, and after two consecutive exquisite wall collisions with Lin Yu, it was a back-heel pass from Lin Yu, and he successfully hit the ball into the goal.

At this point, the full-time score was rewritten to 6:0, and the score of the two legs was expanded to 9:3, and the Spaniards were completely stunned.

You know, the Spaniards are a tenacious style and a team with good performance, although there is no way to compare with the city team Barcelona in terms of fame, but their strength has always been impossible to ignore, who knows that today they have completely become the target of Real Madrid's blood.

Wretched! Lamentable! Alas!

The slaughtered Espanyol team had already thought before the game that they would lose this game. But being beaten by such a big score, they still felt a little difficult to accept. But the strange thing is to look for sad feelings. But I couldn't find it.

They found that as long as Lin Yu played, they seemed to feel that it didn't matter if they lost, as if Lin Yu was an invincible existence at all.

After the game, Espanyol's goalkeeper Asenjo actually took the initiative to ask for an exchange of jerseys with Lin Yu, in fact, it was not so much an exchange as wanting Lin Yu's jersey.

In this game, the goal he guarded was broken by Real Madrid six times in a row, three of which came from Lin Yu, and he felt that this was a shame that could be remembered in his heart. Exchanging jerseys with Lin Yu is to remember this defeat, and to be vigilant all the time in the future, to train better, to improve yourself, and not to have such a fiasco.

Of course Lin Yu will not refuse, if there are people in this world who will refuse to exchange jerseys, then I am afraid it is those who are Barcelona, other players. Even if he doesn't have a reputation at all, it doesn't matter if he can't even call his name, as long as the other party is willing, he will exchange jerseys generously.

To know. Lin Yu's fans are not just ordinary fans, many famous stars, and even rising stars. They all hope that Lin Yu can be worshiped as a role model and an idol.

You're like Chelsea's Oscar, Willian. There is also Kevin De Bruyne, who now plays in the Bundesliga, and Hessai, who is facing Real Madrid. Although these people were not far from Lin Yu's age, they worshipped Lin Yu as an idol.

Many of the rest are unnamed, just starting their professional paths, or teenage players who play in the youth team, and even more admire Lin Yu.

In the past, when the media evaluated a new star, they always liked to use words such as xx Messi and xx Ronaldo, but now, many of them have been changed to xx Lin Yu, which is an honor in itself.

Even Raul, who is now the manager of Real Madrid's sports department, said in public: "Now, I am also a fan of Lin Yu, and I like to watch him play, not only because he is a Real Madrid player, but also because his skills are really worthy of my admiration." ”

The media often say that Lin Yu is a difficult person to get along with, and he has a short temper, in fact, people who have really been in contact with Lin Yu will know that these words are pure farts.

At least in this game, Espanyol's goalkeeper Asenjo knew very well that Lin Yu was able to exchange jerseys with a defeated player like him, and there was no reluctance in the slightest, which in itself proved that he was very easy to get along with.

……

In the 22nd round of the league immediately after, Zidane still let Lin Yu start, but some adjustments were made to other positions, basically sending starters, but this time, Zidane made a new attempt and no longer used the previous 4321 formation, he wanted to have his own style, so he boldly changed the formation to 433 this time.

The opponent's Real Betis, and this game is at home, so Zidane is not worried about losing, which is why he will make such a bold attempt.

This 4, of course, refers to the back four - Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal;

The first 3 refers to the three people in the midfield - Hesey, Modric and Di Maria, of course, this position is often replaced, Isco and Benzema are players who are often replaced, of course, Zidane originally preferred to use Xavi Alonso or Khedira, which can strengthen the defense, but the problem is that these two people are now seriously injured and can't be used.

The second 3 refers to the three people in the front court - Cristiano. Ronaldo, Lin Yu, and Bale.

While Cristiano. Ronaldo and Bale are still wingers in name, but in fact, in the game, their positions are very active, and they often switch positions with Lin Yu, so this style of play should be more flexible than the previous style of play.

In fact, Zidane did not do this on a whim, he has tried to use this formation many times in training, and the data of the team's performance proves that this formation is really good.

Of course, this is the first time in actual combat, and they hope to use Real Betis as an experiment.

Zidane's bold innovation proved to be fantastic, with the final score being 5:0, with Lin Yu scoring a goal and his teammates Ronaldo, Bale, Di Maria and Luka Modric all scoring respectively.

Lin Yu also felt that under such a formation, he could give full play to his advantages, because of the frequent change of position, whether it was an inward shot or a breakthrough in the middle, it was difficult for the opponent to make an effective, direct and more successful defense against him.

I don't know how others feel, but he feels pretty good.

The disadvantage of this formation may be that the defense has become weaker, and when encountering strong teams, some changes must be made, such as sending players with stronger defensive ability on the field to replace players with stronger offensive ability, which is actually more flexible.

After the end of this game, Lin Yu's goals have risen to thirty-two, and only twenty-two games have passed, his result is really going to make many players sigh, even Messi, who is also performing well, now has only twenty-eight goals, four less than Lin Yu. (To be continued......)
