The first half of the match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad ended, and Real Madrid temporarily led 1-0.
Back in the locker room, the players take a break or pack their football gear.
Qin Xiong wiped his sweat, cleaned the dirt from the soles of his shoes, and then waited for the start of the second half.
Capello focused on talking to Emerson at this time, hoping that Emerson would be more decisive when switching between attack and defence.
There is nothing else to adjust either.
Real Sociedad is not strong, even if Real Madrid has problems, but the opponent cannot use it effectively, then there is nothing to worry about for the time being.
Moreover, the atmosphere in the dressing room is tense in itself, and the shadow of the defeat at the Gelland Stadium a few days ago has not yet dissipated, so it is natural that Capello will not pick and choose when the situation is good.
Back on the pitch in the second half, Emerson was keen to improve his performance, only to have two misguided passes in the first six minutes of the second half.
Maybe the fans in the stands put too much pressure on him.
He wouldn't have been treated like that at Juventus before.
Capello couldn't stand it on the sidelines, and he replaced Emerson with Robinho.
This substitution actually made Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu high-five and celebrate, which can only be said that Real Madrid fans are too demanding of the team and very demanding of the players.
Removing a midfielder and adding a wide player, Real Madrid switched to 442, which can also be called 424.
Due to Robinho's extremely aggressive attack, Qin Xiong was forced to take the initiative to retreat in order to allow the team to at least maintain the balance on the field. He took on the organization and control of the overall situation in the midfield.
Under the decisive organizational effect of his slightly insane. Real Madrid are constantly creating attacking chances.
63rd minute of the game. Qin Xiong's midfielder crossed diagonally to the hinterland on the left side, Robinho crossed after cutting the bottom line strongly, and Vanney grabbed the point in front of the goal and was blocked by Lesgow with his body.
Two minutes later, Raul's header went to the right side of the penalty area before Qin Xiong's cross was crossed, and Reyes cut inside and swept the ball in front of goal near the baseline, and Ruud van Nistelrooy did not miss the opportunity this time, he cushioned the ball in front of the post. After changing direction slightly, the ball rolls into the goal.
Vanney was very happy to run to celebrate, while Qin Xiong stood in the middle of the court and watched with a smile.
"Fourth goal in the league! Ruud van Nistelrooy extended the lead for Real Madrid, who improved their attack after replacing Emerson, and Qin Xiong created chances for Real Madrid through midfield and long-distance passes, which was an eye-opener. ”
Real Madrid fans in the stands celebrated the goal and a discussion sparked.
"What kind of role should Qin Xiong play?"
"He's very good at Arsenal!"
"But he also has a hand as a winger, and the shot after the cross-cut on the wing is a good skill!"
"Didn't you notice that after Qin Xiong played in the midfield, the team's attack was more fluid? The pace is very fast, as long as there is space in the front court and there are players who respond, Qin Xiong can pass the ball over. I think he should play in midfield! ”
As for what position Qin Xiong should play, many fans expressed their opinions. They are happy to discuss such topics.
But they probably didn't take into account that in the current football environment, the position of the players is undergoing a subtle change: blurring!
A good striker has to have the role of pulling the strategy to the side, or even retreating to cover the strategy.
Wingers also need to have the ability to score in the penalty area, pass and shoot.
The ambiguity of the midfielders is more pronounced, hence the all-round midfielders.
Players with too single characteristics are gradually starting to break away from the mainstream, because the intensity and technical and tactical level of modern football are of course stronger and stronger than in the past!
Real Sociedad still did not have the courage to counterattack after conceding the second goal, even in La Liga, where the technical ability is known, Real Sociedad's teamwork ability in front of Real Madrid is still obviously weak, they cannot pass more than 3 consecutive balls in the midfield, and the duel gap between the individual players leads to an absolute disadvantage in field control.
So they simply further shrank their defenses, losing less than winning.
Removed an offensive player and then strengthened the defense.
Real Madrid were still able to create attacking chances in the following period, but they were far from the goal.
Qin Xiong cut in after the 69th minute to receive Raul's pass from outside the penalty area and almost penetrated the Real Sociedad goal again with a long-range shot.
And that's the end of his performance in this game.
Capello replaced him with Guti.
Beckham also came on to replace Reyes.
When Qin Xiong and Reyes went off the pitch together, the Bernabeu fans booed.
Playing a Real Sociedad, is Capello still so cautious?
The fans were certainly not happy and they would like to see the team further devastate and ravage Real Sociedad for the rest of the game.
Rather than letting the game suddenly go from a one-sided offense to a dull one.
Their boos were an expression of displeasure at Capello.
To win, you have to have fun!
But Capello apparently doesn't think so.
Flashy things are not what he is after.
Like appeasing the local gang, then Guti must be given a certain amount of playing time, although Guti has always lived under the aura of a superstar, but Guti is also a child of the Bernabeu after all.
And his suppression of the Brazilian gang has achieved initial results, and Robinho is very obedient, of course he has to hit it with a big stick in his left hand, and then give a sweet date with his right hand.
And Beckham is very desperate in training, which meets the criteria when he preaches who is the main force, and selects the main force with training attitude and training effect, so it is natural to give Beckham some opportunities, and Beckham himself is the focus of media attention.
Rather than having fans watch the game to the fullest, Real Madrid's intricate locker room network at this stage is the imperative that Capello needs to sort out and control.
After Guti and David Beckham came on, Real Madrid's offensive became extremely monotonous.
With the exception of wide crosses, penetration and advancement in the middle were largely ineffective as there were no suitable players on the pitch.
Even if Robinho can occasionally go to the front waist line to seek opportunities, but in the dense encirclement of Real Sociedad, he can not do much, and it is no problem to suddenly get rid of it in a small area, but how to continue the attack next step is his shortcoming, plus he is also very meritorious, sometimes he barely shoots, which leads to a significant decline in the quality of Real Madrid's offensive in the closing stage of the game.
When the game was over, Qin Xiong had just stood up from the bench when he heard a crowd of fans in the nearby stands collectively shouting at him, hoping that he could go and sign autographs and even get his jersey.
Qin Xiong did not pretend to ignore it, he walked to the edge of the stand and cordially signed autographs for the fans, winning a round of applause from the fans. (To be continued......)
