Chapter 464: When Art Meets Savage 1

readx;

Riquelme is one of the most outstanding players of Argentina's new generation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If you don't really play with Riquelme, you will never be able to understand his football art and understanding of football, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to keep up with Riquelme's thinking, which is why his traditional Argentinian football has not spread smoothly on the European continent.

Riquelme's Boca Juniors from Argentina was worth 11.5 million euros when he first landed in Spain and joined Barcelona, which is absolutely outstanding among players in the top European leagues in South America.

However, Riquelme was in trouble at Barcelona, who gave him half a year to perform, and as a result, his football was not accepted by Barca's style.

And now, he is spreading his football art in Villarreal.

Villarreal seem to be a better fit for Riquelme than Barcelona, a team that was built to recruit South American players and compete in La Liga in the style of South American football, and they seem to have succeeded, and their results prove that South American football style is very popular in Spain.

Of course, the reason for this purpose is not that the fans like the South American style, but that the South American players are cheap.

Regardless, Riquelme has finally carved out his own in Villarreal.

And now, Real Madrid have met Riquelme.

Yes, that's really the way to go.

When Real Madrid met Riquelme, it seemed to be a contest of art football, where Real Zidane's French art football collided with Riquelme's Argentine art football.

The small town of Vila-Real in the Valencia region of Castellón is not very large, with a population of only about 10,000 people, and the economic situation of the club supported by this population can be imagined, and even if there are still some fans around, the love song stadium with a capacity of only 17,000 fans is still empty.

But today, the Love Song Stadium is full!

The arrival of thousands of Real Madrid fans made the rare crowd at the Love Song Stadium boil.

And the ongoing game on the pitch also made the fans of both teams excited, it was an artistic contest, a contest between Riquelme and Zidane.

Due to Villarreal's players, most of whom are from South America, these players have an inherent style that makes the team's attacking pace slow.

Of course, Riquelme also accounts for a large part of the reason in this regard, as the core of the team, his slow speed makes the whole team's attack speed not fast.

Real Madrid, driven by the rhythm of the opponent, also seems to have slowed down, but they are not afraid of this kind of slow-paced game. Real Madrid has a lot of big names, there are a lot of Brazilian players on the pitch, and the individual skills of the top stars are no less than those of Villarreal, so they are not afraid of this slowness.

But it has to be said that Riquelme's football art does have its merits.

For example, this goal in the opening 11 minutes.

Villarreal got the ball, Riquelme was very casual and slowly brought forward, in the rhythm, he pulled lightly, a random forward, and then, after turning around and protecting the ball, he buckled to the left, and stuck Baptista, who started the game, behind him, and then Riquelme continued to take two steps forward, until Baptista behind him was about to catch up again, and he passed.

He crossed to the left, where Valencia was.

Valencia is an Ecuadorian player who has been playing in Ecuador's domestic league before, and with this opportunity to enter Europe, he didn't care about the club's salary at all, and directly 'sold himself' to Villarreal.

His technique is good, but it won't be easy to compete for a place in the main team, and he got his chance in this game.

In the whole club, he admires Riquelme the most, and in the South American league, Riquelme is the king of Boca Juniors, leaving the impression that these players are almost undefeated.

Valencia never dreamed that they would have the opportunity to play against Riquelme and play against Real Madrid, the world's top club, at the same time.

So, he's serious about this game.

Very seriously.

Robert. Carlos saw the opportunity to grab the ball, but Valencia actually had a very old smash and shook him, and after that, Valencia didn't think about it, and passed to Riquelme again, and only by handing the ball to Riquelme is the safest, this is Valencia's idea.

It has to be said that Riquelme's sense of movement is very good, and his positioning is always the most standard, no matter where the ball is.

After receiving the ball again, he found another opportunity to play the ball to the right, and after a few passes, the ball was back at his feet.

Led by Riquelme, Villarreal seemed to be playing small passes around Real Madrid's penalty area. This style of play is very dangerous, but they have a very good technique and still keep the ball under the control of the team.

After an unknown amount of time, Riquelme finally saw a chance and Riquelme finally crossed.

Diego. Fran!

Last season's best shot in La Liga lived up to Villarreal's hopes of the whole game, and after receiving the ball, he calmly saw the opportunity and pushed it directly.

Faced with this shot of about six meters, Casillas was helpless, so Real Madrid fell behind.

That's Villarreal's football, they're always poised.

Of course, the contest of artistic football is by no means the stage of a team from Villarreal, and Real Madrid also has this kind of player, that is, Zidane, who is known as a true master of art.

Zidane is notoriously slow-paced football.

In the French team, he and Henry always do not work together, because Henry's football is from the Arsenal style, completely fast attack, fast forwarding, but Zidane seems to enjoy the art of football more, so his pace is always a little slow.

But this slow pace has played a role today.

In a push from Real Madrid, this slow pace effectively allowed Villarreal's formation to pull away.

Originally, Villarreal was in defense, the team's line was very far behind, and their players were all around the penalty area to deal with Real Madrid's attack, and another point was to deal with Real Madrid's No. 21 black-haired boy's attack, which was too threatening, the team's head coach Pellegrini knew very well that with one or two players, it was almost impossible to defend Wang Li, and countless 'senior clubs' had taught him this with a bloody lesson.

So, before the game, Pellegrini told the players very clearly: "When defending, don't stand too far forward, we have to use dense defense to effectively suppress the opponent's play." ”

This is the crowd tactic.

Pushing slowly in attack and using crowd tactics in defence, Manuel Pellegrini has cleverly chosen this steady style of play, and for him, a draw is acceptable.

At least, the score on the pitch now has proven the effectiveness of the tactics.

However, Zidane himself seems to have sabotaged Villarreal's dense tactics, and he seems to feel that he is more skilled than Riquelme, so he began to perform his football art in midfield, and he made Real Madrid's attacking speed rub up, and at the same time forced Villarreal's players to step forward to grab the ball.

In this way, the opponent's formation was stretched, but at this time, the head coach on the sidelines, Carlo, looked at the game on the field, touched his chin with one hand and was thinking about a question: "Should Zidane be replaced?" ”

Lately, he has struggled with the team's big names, the chief three being Zinedine Zidane, Raul and Ronaldo.

All three of these players are the team's pillars of the big name and were very used in the Luxemburg era, but their performances on the field seem to be a bit of a drag on the team.

For example, Ronaldo, the alien's skills and awareness are very good, but his physical fitness is not good, and as the game he runs less and less on the field, according to a data analysis of "Real Madrid Sports News", the longer the alien plays, the higher the probability of Real Madrid's loss.

As the team's main striker and primary goal, only 10 goals were scored in the half-time game, which is really a bit inefficient.

In the past, Carlo would not have considered this problem, after all, as an interim coach, stability is the most important thing, but now that the team has Wang Li, even without Ronaldo's goal, the team can still have a good goal efficiency, so what is the use of Ronaldo on the field?

And among the three, Raul is a little better, he is a standard striker, and his task on the field is to score goals, so that Real Madrid's previous captain, as a substitute striker, is also a good addition to the striker.

Now, Carlo is thinking about Zidane.

From the beginning of the game to the present, the problem of Zidane slowing down Real Madrid's offensive rhythm can be seen even by a pseudo-fan, such an important position, held by such a player, will it weaken Real Madrid's offensive power?

Carlo doesn't know.

But on the pitch, Zidane's artistic football seems to have done its job.

In this slow pace, Villarreal's formation was unconsciously pulled apart, and seeing an opportunity, Zidane passed the ball to Baptista in front left.

Compared to Zidane, Baptista's football is much faster.

After receiving the pass, he didn't stop the ball at all and gave a kick to Wang Li on the penalty line, seeing the opportunity, Wang Li ran quickly two steps in the direction of the ball, and then a diagonal kick, the ball went to the feet of Robinho in the penalty area.

Faced with this good opportunity, Robinho won the volley and the ball flew directly to the top left corner of the goal!!

“gooooooooooooooal!!! Robson. Morality. Sousa !! ”

'Real Madrid equalised, it was a great game, it was Zinedine Zidane and Riquelme, they were fantastic!! From now on, it looks like they're on a close pitch and we're looking forward to the next games." ”

The commentator of the Royal Sports Channel seemed very excited, and even he could see that this was a technical contest between the core players of the two teams.

But just as Real Madrid celebrated their goal, Carlo was considering replacing Zinedine Zidane.

This substitution was definitely the most difficult decision Carlo has ever made in charge of Real Madrid. Replacing a big-name star with a good performance is a test for him, but Carlo is increasingly convinced that Zidane will have a greater role on the bench than on the pitch.

"Fight!"

After a period of hesitant thought, Carlo said firmly.

So, after Real Madrid celebrated the goal, the fourth official on the sidelines signaled Real Madrid to make a substitution, the 30-year-old veteran Graveson, to replace Zidane.

As soon as this substitution signal appeared, it caused an exclamation from the fans in the stadium.

Villarreal fans looked at Real Madrid's substitution in disbelief, "Do they have internal contradictions? "A lot of fans think so. However, some senior fans of Real Madrid gave a thumbs up to the interim coach in their hearts, this substitution is indeed very in line with the current situation, although the two teams played a draw, but in fact, Real Madrid should have an advantage, which is undoubtedly Zidane who drags the team back.

And Zidane's own face looked a little depressed, he felt that the game was not bad, but why would this interim manager replace him?

He didn't know.

So, after clapping his hands with Gravison's symbolic surname, he took the coat handed over by the assistant coach and sat down on the bench in a dull manner, saying nothing.

And at this time, Wang Li was about to go crazy with depression on the court!!

As a standard striker, he is now the team's key player, but since the start of the game, the two teams have been competing to start playing at a slower pace.

From the game so far, he has only received 4 passes, this kind of slow-paced game he is very uncomfortable, and in the slow-paced attack, more need for the player's sense of running, although Wang Li Xiaowuxianggong broke through Xiaocheng, but this has nothing to do with running.

The game he was looking forward to turned out like this, although he had one assist, but only received four passes, which made Wang Li even feel like he was visiting his own back garden.

“**!! It's a football game!! ”

The continuation of this situation made Wang Li a little distressed, so after thinking about it, he went directly to Baptista to ask for a change of position, he felt that he was staying at the front, and it was difficult to receive passes.

"You go play my position, I'll pass the ball to you." That's what Wang Li said, every time he swapped places with someone else, he would say that. Hearing this, Baptista was not annoyed, but was happy, because Wang Li's words were still credible in the team, and he basically did what he said, 'Then I don't have a chance to score?' He thought so, and ran forward alone.

Wang Li was very domineering and squeezed the veteran Gravison to the side, and he himself stood in Zidane's position.

This position is in the middle of the team, theoretically between the back and the front, and a little further on, his position at Chelsea, where he feels very good after coming here, and he has found that kind of being active again.

Zidane's substitution did not seem to affect Villarreal's performance, they were still under the leadership of Riquelme, playing slow-paced football, and the football was constantly passed to each other in the range of players centered on Riquelme, in this situation, to press the Real Madrid defense and look for great attacking opportunities.

Seeing this situation, Wang Li didn't even think about it, and went straight to Riquelme.

Villarreal's attack is undoubtedly centered on Riquelme, so as long as you watch him, you can effectively intercept the opponent's attack, so that Real Madrid's chances will increase.

After a dull game, Wang Li didn't suppress his offense at all, he wanted to release it on the court, and he didn't want to just consume it indifferently.

"Allen and Riquelme collided!!"

'Last season, Allen was known as the 'master dancer' at Chelsea, and now that the title has been reclaimed by Real Madrid fans, his individual skills, especially his dribbling ability, are undoubtedly outstanding. Riquelme is also known for his technical skills, and no one can deny his individual ability, and now that these two of the best technical players in Europe and South America are in action, it seems that we can expect an even more eye-catching technical battle to come. ”

"Who will win this contest?"

Before the commentator finished speaking, Riquelme was already showing his gorgeous footwork on the field, he tossed the ball back and forth twice on the field, and then wanted to break through with the ball directly, this action attracted the Villarreal fans of the entire Love Song Stadium, and a cry shook the sky.

"Riquelme!! Rickell"

But the cheers stopped abruptly

Riquelme seemed to have chosen the wrong target, he actually showed gorgeous footwork in front of Wang Li, and wanted to dribble directly past him.

Thus, he was already doomed to tragedy.

Wang Li didn't pay attention to his various movements at all, not to mention his plug-in-like 'shadow-like legs', now his little Wuxiang Gong has been small, even in terms of reaction speed, it is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

When Riquelme cushioned the ball for the second time, Wang Li's eyes were fixed on the football, like a tiger out of the cage, he hit the air headlong, and then his head hit the ball, and his body followed up and broke the ball directly.

When Riquelme didn't react, Wang Li rushed forward with the ball directly, and with this broken ball counterattack, Real Madrid's rhythm suddenly became faster, and the players on both wings and in the middle followed Wang Li's run, and rushed forward!

The Villarreal players didn't seem to be able to adapt to the sudden change of pace, they didn't react at all, and when they tried to keep up, it was too late.

Wang Li dribbled the ball alone, shook Peña and Arua Barrena in a row, and reached the opponent's penalty area line at a very fast speed, and then he poked the ball to the side, and Robinho got another chance.

Unguarded, the Brazilian kid fired a clean long-range shot that left the opposing goalkeeper Patrick Vieira to watch the ball fly into the bottom corner.

Robinho!! gooooooooooooooooal!!! ”

"It was his second goal of the game and Real Madrid put the lead !!"
