614 Thunderous Fury and Negative Response
The first half of the match between Real Madrid and Levante was a high-start-low situation, from smooth sailing to chaotic scenes, quite anticlimactic.
Something that shocked the whole team happened at half-time.
Capello angrily waited for his players in the dressing room.
The players who walked into the dressing room could tell at a glance that Capello was going to be furious.
Sure enough, when the players returned to the dressing room, Capello almost roared at the players: "What did you all do after 2:0?!" The slow transition between offense and defense is like an old man walking, unable to play offensive depth, what the hell are you thinking? ”
Qin Xiong sat in the corner and was silent.
Capello was at least right.
The reason for the slowdown is obvious, the teammates are relaxed, and everyone wants to perform, the focus of the audience will be in football, whoever has the ball, who is the focus, whoever has the ball for a long time, who has a long appearance.
But not every player has the ability to act as an accelerator for offensive and defensive transitions.
As for the depth of the attack, it is easy to understand.
Lack of effective lateral transfer of midfield and patient cooperation, the midfield and backfield frequently hit the ball directly to the forward line, and the striker players are caught in the bag and have no time to find a gap, how to play deep?
Behind these problems is actually a reflection of the disorder of Real Madrid's overall tactical thinking.
A team should be orderly.
From status to role, from responsibility to role.
But Real Madrid is because there are too many big-name players, and no one is absolutely above others in terms of ability and prestige, and the factions in the dressing room have formed small circles to fight for themselves. This naturally affects the competitive field.
Diarra suddenly spoke. Even more irritated Capello.
"The quality of the turf on the course is so poor! Affected soccer rolling! ”
He seemed to be justifying his two errors in four through balls after 2-0. In fact, Levante's counterattack goal was directly cut off by the midfield, and I don't know if it was a pass to Qin Xiong or Raul!
Capello did not target Diarra, but coldly scolded the whole team: "We need speed, we need to play with attacking depth!" ”
Qin Xiong looked up at Capello with a strange look in his eyes.
He wondered whether Capello was directing the strain on the spot with Italian artistic charm, or whether he could only bully the weak and fear the hard?
Because Capello's attitude today is clearly inconsistent with the previous game.
After the Bernabeu took a one-goal lead over Villarreal, Capello's main change was to strengthen his defence and secure the win.
This is understandable, defense wins.
But today a two-goal lead over Levante. Capello did not let the team strengthen the defense or control the field, but was furious at halftime, taking a step back, Real Madrid is still leading!
As long as he does the same, according to the command strategy of the previous game, Real Madrid should not have a problem successfully holding on to the second half and continue to pocket the three points.
After all, Levante is playing more with less, and there is still a certain gap between his strength and Villarreal.
But now Capello is more of an attacking manager.
Is it really because of Levante's lack of strength that Capello is going to pinch this soft persimmon to death?
Qin Xiong didn't understand.
What a quirky manager.
Thinking about it this way, his thunderous anger made no sense.
Instead, it will make people think that he is moody.
You want the team to defend. The team has to defend right away, and if you're not satisfied, you're not happy.
You want the team to attack. The team has to do a good job and if something goes wrong you're still not satisfied.
Oh, my God!
Real Madrid is not the Real Madrid team he trained and matured ten years ago, and now not to mention whether it can reach the realm of free retraction, I'm afraid it can't even be formed!
The locker room was silent, and no one spoke anymore.
It wasn't Capello who managed to deter the players and silence everyone.
It's just that these players don't bother to pay attention to Capello.
There are not a few nobodies here, what storms have you not seen?
Will a manager scare them silly with two yells?
That would only happen in Real Madrid's youth team.
Capello was likely to assert his authority by replacing Raul with David Beckham at half-time.
In their place were Reyes and Robinho.
Take the captain under the knife!
Before the start of the second half, Raul and David Beckham sat on the bench with blank faces.
Capello's substitution shocked the commentators who broadcast the game.
"Fabio Capello actually replaced Raul and Beckham at half-time, it's amazing, Real Madrid are still ahead, there is no reason to do this!"
It may not only be that Qin Xiong is inexplicable about Capello's anger, and even a little bored, in the second half of the game, Real Madrid's midfield defense is particularly tight, and the enthusiasm of the midfielders to participate in the attack is greatly reduced.
Substitutes Reyes and Robinho were excited.
It was only in this situation that Qin Xiong once again became the focus of the midfield.
He initially created frequent opportunities for Robinho and also hoped to get some interactive responses from Robinho.
But Robinho will only stare at the arrow Ruud van Nistelrooy in the forward line, or simply come on his own.
The Cyclist has the agility of the Brazilian, but it doesn't do much to just cross from the wing.
He can play offensive depth when he breaks through on the wing, but the greater role of this offensive depth is to create opportunities for his teammates who are inserted in the back row of the middle, that is, Qin Xiong.
But Robinho's frequent direct crosses to Ruud van Nistelrooy are less effective.
Qin Xiong has focused on Reyes, who has been a team-mate at Arsenal and has been close to him in training at Real Madrid in the past month.
Reyes was significantly better on the flanks than he did at Arsenal, and that certainly has a direct relationship with the style of defence and the intensity of the confrontation in La Liga.
He was more able to release himself, and he did not live up to Qin Xiong's expectations, and the two frequently played a combination of passing and cutting on the side and in the middle.
In the 61st minute of the game, Reyes broke through Zemaria on the side with the ball and suddenly crossed with his feet, he passed in front of the goal, wanting to find Qin Xiong.
But Qin Xiong ran a little too far, so he could only turn around and raise his leg to hook the ball, Qin Xiong padd the ball with the surface of his foot, and consciously controlled the force to let the football roll down the surface of his foot and roll to the middle of the penalty area.
The act of turning and unloading the ball looked more like a mistake in the eyes of the spectators, and the ball slid past the surface of his foot.
Then the ball that slid past rolled behind Alexis and Ruud van Nistelrooy smashed straight into the six-yard box in front of goal! (To be continued......)
