Chapter 287: The momentum is like a rainbow
"Oh! The ball is in! A wonderful goal, He Xu completed the first league goal of the new season for Real Madrid! It was also his own first La Liga goal. Wonderful non-stop ball direct volley! Looks like he's off to a good start for himself! He Xu, who scored the goal, was also very excited, he ran to the coach's seat and hugged his coach Mourinho......"
Mourinho didn't expect He Xu to score so quickly, so he was also celebrating excitedly, so when He Xu pounced, he was dancing his arms, He Xu hugged him, He Xu's powerful arms almost strangled the Portuguese coach to vomit blood.
The players of Athletic Bilbao looked at each other, how did this goal come so quickly?
At this time, La Liga was turning from a match between 20 teams to a rivalry between two teams and 18 other teams, so that each team would consider a draw to be a victory against Real Madrid and Barcelona.
It's just that judging from the current situation of Athletic Bilbao, it has become a little difficult to draw Real Madrid at home today.
Spain international and high school striker Llorente stood in the centre circle and looked at his young partner Muniain, "I said, it's a bit difficult for me to get a header from Pepe and Sergio. So, you've been crossed by the boss, let's change tactics today! ”
Young Muniain looked at his big brother and nodded. As a powerful centre-forward with excellent headers, Llorente is generally not afraid of any opponent, with the exception of Real Madrid's centre-back pairing.
Not to mention his national team teammate Sergio. How strong Ramos' header is. But facing an opponent like Pepe who could kill you at any time is enough to make people nervous......
The Argentinian with a similar style to Mourinho, nicknamed "The Madman", Bielsa has already stood up in anger when he saw the team conceding the goal, although his opponent is Real Madrid, but he cannot accept that his team has conceded so early. Just because you're a strong opponent doesn't mean you can back down!
So he jumped on the sidelines and shouted, "Cheer me up!" The score must be equalized in the first half! Otherwise, when the game is over today, you all will go back to Bilbao for me! There are no seats for you on the flight! ”
Just as he was shouting, his players went wrong again, and Munia's pass to Llorente was cut off by the retreating Khedira. The German midfielder made a quick pass. Give the ball to Xavi. At Alonso's feet, when Alonso received the ball, the Athletic Bilbao midfielders were still in their own half.
So Alonso once again played his best long ball with ease, sending the ball to Di Maria's feet in front.
"A precise and large-scale transfer! Alonso is now widely regarded as a midfield master. The pass was very accurate. Di Maria takes the ball. Real Madrid launched a quick counter-attack! Four against four in the frontcourt! Pass. Pass! Transmit...... The ball is in! He Xu! It's He Xu again! The ball went in, and a kick broke the world wave! The ball is in! 2-0, Real Madrid's fluent attack is like mercury! No one can stop it! ”
The big screen is replaying that wonderful goal. This time Bielsa kept his mouth open to stop his roar, he couldn't believe it was true, and after just eight minutes, his side was already two goals behind. Real Madrid is a formidable opponent, but when did their team become so vulnerable?
Di Maria's way of receiving Alonso's wide transfer was very strange, he slammed the ball out with his outside instep! The stop didn't look very successful, as the ball bounced a little far. But there was no one defending around Di Maria, so Di Maria, who caught up with the ball, easily made adjustments and gave the ball to the feet of Kaka, who advanced in the middle!
The ball rolled extremely fast, and when it rolled to Kaka's feet, he just turned around and ran forward, and the ball rolled right between his legs that were separated from his front and back.
Originally, it was the best choice to let the ball go in this situation, but who knew that Kaka suddenly lifted his right foot forward, which was dragging behind, and the tip of his foot hit the football, and the ball changed course and rolled forward, and Kaka strode after it. This quick response and handling also attracted a cheer from the fans at the scene!
Kaka only took two steps forward and picked the ball towards He Xu, who was waiting at the edge of the penalty area. This kind of quick counter-attack opportunity is rare, no one can be greedy or aggressive, you have to control the timing of the pass.
Kaka's pass was accurate, and He Xu, who had his back to the Athletic Bilbao goal, had no defenders around him, because they saw Kaka's dribble, they all pounced on Kaka, trying to put He Xu in an offside position.
Unfortunately, Kaka got up and passed the ball when there was still a defender dragging behind! So He Xu, who was not offside, easily stopped the ball with his chest, and then turned around!
At this time, C. Ronaldo, who was inserted on the side, was already in a good position, and as long as He Xu passed the ball forward, C. Ronaldo was able to get a good opportunity.
But He Xu didn't do this, he just shook his feet. When everyone thought he was going to pass the ball, and the goalkeeper was already going to block the near corner of C. Ronaldo's side, He Xu suddenly knocked the ball forward and hit the goal directly!
A direct shot from the edge of the box! The ball flew high and hit the crossbar and bounced into the goal. The kick was so powerful that the whole goal seemed to be shaken by his kick......
When He Xu ran under the stands with his arms raised, Athletic Bilbao's net was still shaking.
Bielsa muttered, "Where did this kid come from?" I'm going to kick and break his leg! ”
What happened to Real Madrid, which has always been a bit slow to heat up in the league? This became a research topic in many media outlets in the following day, and it was one of the hottest.
Jose Mourinho's team was made even more formidable by the addition of He Xu, the tall striker who looked to have a strong shooting ability, and in eight minutes, he shot twice on goal, hitting all of them. And many people know that this young new No. 10 actually has a strong ability to excel.
At the end of the first half, the score was 3-0, and He Xu once again completed the assist for Kaka, he withstood the defense of the Athletic Bilbao players on the side of the edge of the penalty area, and then stretched out his foot and passed the ball to Kaka inserted in the back row. Kaka fired his trademark long-range shot and the ball made a wonderful arc into the back of the net.
In the home dressing room at the Bernabeu, Mourinho excitedly praised He Xu, who scored two shots and one pass, and lost his previous dissatisfaction with his brain-dead shot. Athletic Bilbao is actually not a very easy opponent to deal with, but it is because of He Xu's presence that this originally somewhat difficult game has become simpler.
The first half was 3-0, not every team was AC Milan, and not everyone could be Liverpool. Mourinho, who is basically already winning, is finally relieved.
And the hearts of the two injured people sitting in the stands sank, He Xu, a young man, is in a bit scary state...... Will I wait until I come back and not get a chance to play?
Compared with He Xu's amazing performance, in the first half of the game, Real Madrid's top C. Ronaldo's state seemed to be a little sluggish. There were few highlights in the first half, and of course, no one would choose to abandon the World Footballer of the Year because of a first-half slump, let alone the coach and his compatriots.
"Teacher Zhang Lu, do you have any comments on He Xu's performance in the first half of the game?" Duan Xian asked.
Zhang Lu was silent for a moment, and then said very cautiously: "I think that with his current state and performance, he still has the strength, and he is enough to afford Real Madrid's No. 10 jersey." In this first half, his performance was perfect, both in terms of statistics and in terms of effect. ”
This is already a high evaluation, and He Xu's performance in the first half of the game is indeed worthy of this evaluation.
Before the start of the second half, Mourinho said to He Xu: "In a game for a while, you have to contain the opponent's defense and create chances for your teammates, just like the assist Kaka in the first half. Of course, if you have the chance, I wouldn't mind seeing you win five dollars again. ”
He Xu nodded and followed his teammates on the field. The Athletic Bilbao players standing next to them were all dejected when they returned to the dressing room at half-time, and they knew that a scolding was inevitable. But when they returned to the locker room, Bielsa surprisingly didn't blame them, handing over towels and drinks by hand.
Llorente even wondered if the coach had poisoned us in a drink, right? It's not like our coach.
As soon as they sat down, they heard Bielsa sigh, "Don't be nervous, everyone. I can't blame you for this defeat, blame me for not being prepared! I really didn't expect their new Chinese kid to be so adaptable, I thought my tactical arrangement was enough to restrain him, it seems that I still underestimated him! ”
Although he made corresponding adjustments after repenting, after the start of the second half of the game, he suddenly found that He Xu seemed to have changed the way of playing, and his arrangement did not work again......
In the first half, He Xu was more waiting for his teammates' passes, and now, he seems to be more withdrawn to receive the passes of his teammates.
Once again, Bielsa muttered in surprise, "! Can this kid's physical strength be a little more abundant? What a monster! ”
Under the leadership of the new No. 10, Real Madrid's league opener was full of momentum. In the end, they defeated the visiting Athletic Bilbao 6-0, with He Xu scoring twice and providing two assists.
The only thing that is a bit of a pity is that Real Madrid's pillar C. Ronaldo did not score...... (To be continued......)
