When Villa stood up on the pitch, the Mestalla stadium rang out with applause of encouragement.

But Villa still looked very frustrated, and he bowed his head slightly and walked to the sidelines.

His replacement teammate was Vicente.

As a result, Valencia did not even have a full-fledged centre-forward on the pitch.

Angulo, Vicente, Silva, Joaquin, these are either wingers or midfielders, there are no killers in the box at all!

The turning point of the game was in this moment.

Valencia's attack will be difficult to pose a threat in the Real Madrid penalty area.

Most of them have to try their luck with long-range shots, but Casillas has been solid and Valencia has very few long-range shooters.

Real Madrid can be said to be carefree at the back, but the attack has not improved much.

Robinho's disconnect from the attacking group is very obvious, Qin Xiong repeatedly ran forward to the front and back of the penalty area, Robinho will directly choose to give Ruud van Nistelrooy or Raul crosses in possession, and ignore Qin Xiong, who has a fleeting opportunity behind him.

In the 27th minute of the game, Qin Xiong shook off Silva's return in the middle, and encountered Baraja and Leado in the process of dribbling and rushing forward, he was delayed in attack, and finally chose to pass the ball to Carlos who was inserted on the side, and the Brazilian quickly advanced the offensive on the side, and soon came to the bottom line.

He sent a cross ball that was blocked by Albiol, and the football that popped up in the penalty area had Qin Xiong and Baraha scrambling, before Baraja put a shovel to block, Qin Xiong met the ball and shot directly with his feet, the ball put an anti-aircraft gun, I have to say that Baraha's shovel signs still have a certain impact on Qin Xiong.

After he kicked the ball away. The Mestalla Stadium in addition to boos. There was also loud and piercing laughter.

The Valencians naturally wanted to crush Qin Xiong's confidence. In particular, Qin Xiong is now the most threatening star in the Real Madrid team.

Succeeding Zinedine Zidane?

No, he is himself, Qin Xiong!

In the 33rd minute of the game, Qin Xiong took the initiative to move to the right side, but Robinho was a little slower to understand the intention, and after he crossed the cross, he received Qin Xiong's cross-pass, he did not have a better space to break through, and the forced breakthrough was successfully defended by Valencia.

Robinho gave Qin Xiong a thumbs up on the way back.

He was starting to feel something. Probably figuring out Qin Xiong's game ideas, he also had to admit that South American players' understanding and comprehension of European tactical flow is poorer, after all, South American players advocate freedom and individual play.

But in a team like Real Madrid, under heavy pressure, once the individual performance fails to achieve the expected results, what awaits the players will be a storm of public opinion.

In addition, the current head coach of the team is an Italian coach, and the requirements for tactics are more demanding.

Robinho knows that he must improve his ability in this aspect, and around Qin Xiong, the core of the frontcourt organization, of course, he must adjust himself according to Qin Xiong's playing ideas.

Valencia played a dangerous attack in the 37th minute.

Vicente dribbled forward on the left. The strength of Tianzun on the left side was obvious to all, and Salgado made a prejudgment mistake when defending him. Vicente cut inside the box and then drew Sergio Ramos to defend and crossed to the side, where David Silva slotted the ball forward.

Unfortunately, Silva was a striker after all, not a striker, and after he stepped on the ball, Casillas also abandoned the goal, blocking a large part of his shot, and finally Silva got up and fired the ball straight into Casillas's arms.

"The lack of a central striker in the box has a great impact on Valencia, which makes Valencia look tragic, Vicente on the left, Joaquin on the right, Silva in the middle, Baraja and Pagliado in the back, Valencia's midfield combination is actually ideal, but the lack of a center forward to play the role of a terminator makes the chances they create in the end greatly reduced, and now Angulo is very embarrassed on the field, he seems to have nowhere to go, Vicente took the initiative to come to the left side he is familiar with after playing, and performed well, But Angulo gradually lost. ”

The Valencia fans in the stands of the Mestalla Stadium were also a little sad, and they were extremely disappointed to think: how could Real Madrid be so relaxed here without the wave of striker injuries that have erupted in the past few days?

Real Madrid's attack only had a formidable effect just before half-time to make Valencia fearful.

In the 44th minute of the game, Robinho rushed forward on the right side, accelerated through Torres with a bicycle and then cut into the penalty area and passed back to the penalty area.

Qin Xiong made a shot after stopping the ball, Pagliado raised his leg to block, but Qin Xiong flicked the ball sideways, shook off Pagliado and chose to shoot with his feet.

The fake shot shook people, and Qin Xiong was very easy to use.

Qin Xiong's half-high ball flew straight into the bottom left corner of the goal, and he wanted to play a reverse cut line, but the experienced Canizares played well and did not move to the near post in a hurry, which laid the foundation for him to make a lateral save to block Qin Xiong's shot.

The goalkeeper sometimes has a momentary reaction and feeling, and after Canizares flew to block Qin Xiong's shot, the football bounced in the penalty area.

Raul, who followed up, rushed forward to shoot a follow-up shot, and Albiol slid diagonally past and blocked Raul's follow-up shot with his thigh.

This time, the ball rolled out relatively far, and Emerson, who was inserted in the back, directly hit the goal, about 30 yards away from the goal, and the ball flew out of the bottom line in a straight line, only about 50 centimeters from the goalpost.

"Real Madrid almost scored against Valencia! Robinho created a chance after breaking through from the wing, he set up a turret for Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong also shot a very dangerous shot, but it was a pity that Canizares played well, his save made Qin Xiong's shot go to naught, and Raul, who was shooting in the penalty area, could only watch Albiol block the football with a sliding tackle.

Emerson was very meritorious, but his shooting footwork left much to be desired, and he kicked the ball straight off the line.

Valencia escaped. ”

The first half ended 0-0.

As the players walked to the players' tunnel, Robinho took the initiative to walk to Qin Xiong's side, and the two discussed the cooperation in the first half, whether it was successful or unsuccessful, it was necessary to discuss.

Find the reason for failure, and strive for excellence in success.

It's a good sign, Robinho needs opportunities now, and he needs to take advantage of them, so his focus is mainly on the competitive field, and he wants to be present on the pitch and contribute to Real Madrid, rather than being the subject of media speculation every day about whether he will leave the Bernabeu.
