625 Defenders
Even though Real Madrid's frontcourt attack has played a little smooth, the team's technical and tactical contradictions in the front and back have caused a split to occur non-stop.
Because Qin Xiong's offense was too forward, and the players in the midfield and backfield had to stand on the defense and did not dare to rush forward, this led to him occasionally being out of touch with the midfield.
It can be said that the midfield and backfield are based on defense, and the front-court offensive players will inevitably frequently shuttle back and forth in the case of playing depth to tear the opponent's dense defensive line, this kind of reverse stretching from end to tail is the main reason why Real Madrid's formation is occasionally broken in this game, but fortunately, Real Sociedad does not have the ability to grasp a sword when the opportunity to switch between attack and defense appears, so it does not expose Real Madrid to a bigger problem.
But in this case, there is one player who has become the object of displeasure among the Bernabeu fans.
Emerson!
Diarra, who was mainly responsible for defending and intercepting in midfield, did an excellent job, and Diarra has hardly been beaten one-on-one by anyone since joining Real Madrid.
The other man in the back two, Emerson, will not only be responsible for defensive duties, but will also be responsible for some playmaking work, including the transition between the front and back of the pitch when attacking and defending.
But what he did today was far from ideal.
Whenever the ball came to his feet, he slowed down the overall tempo, he had a loose environment for the ball, but he seemed clueless and hesitant to handle the ball.
I don't know if he has no ideas or too many ideas, he doesn't dare to make a move in the face of the opponent's counter-robbery, and the conservative return pass will naturally not lose the ball, but it also allows the opponent to successfully delay Real Madrid's offensive speed.
When it's time to pass the ball forward. He had to observe for a long time. Hesitate for a long time. After passing the ball out at the end, Real Madrid had to face the opponent's tight and orderly defensive formation.
Bernabeu fans have not been very happy with Emerson since he came to Real Madrid, because fans want to see the team play a fast attack like Barcelona, and Emerson, who sits in a key position in the midfield, first of all, he does not have the ability to push forward and accelerate, and secondly, in terms of passing ability, he does not have the ability to play where to play in the middle and long passes.
So after 20 minutes of the game, the fans would erupt in boos whenever Emerson hesitated to handle the ball!
Emerson's hesitation. It affected Raul's play.
Because Raul is the player who wants Real Madrid to speed up the attack, he pulls back and responds on a large scale, and carries out tandem work, hoping to keep the attack at a high speed, and he knows that only by constantly giving Real Sociedad offensive pressure can he break through the opponent's dense defense.
But Raul wants to juggle too much, and he won't get better results.
In the 22nd minute of the game, he retreated to the midfield to answer and made a one-two with Qin Xiong and passed the ball directly to the right side. The ball was about a meter away from the goal and out of the baseline.
Raul got up and applauded Reyes' pass and encouraged his teammates.
After 5 minutes. Qin Xiong possessed the ball in front of Rivas and Prieto.
He also seemed to be on the slower side, but he was waiting.
Raul used Ruud van Nistelrooy as a cover to cut diagonally into the penalty area from the side, Qin Xiong saw the timing of his run, and sent a diagonal through ball at his feet, which completely collapsed the Real Sociedad defense, Raul slanted into the penalty area and volleyed directly, but he shot too straight with his feet.
Goalkeeper Lethgow confiscated the ball.
Everyone saw Raul's efforts, but the results were not very good.
Real Sociedad's defenders have also seen Raul come alive, but they look more confident.
What if Real Madrid keep creating chances for a player who doesn't wear shooting boots?
Are there any threats?
But Real Madrid is determined to do so!
The executor is Qin Xiong.
He constantly created opportunities for Raul and made Real Madrid's attack frequently to the left.
In the 31st minute of the game, Qin Xiong moved to the left side, Carlos passed the ball to him, Qin Xiong's speed was very slow at first, but in front of Herard, he suddenly changed direction to the inside, and got rid of Herard's defense flexibly, Rivas rushed laterally, Qin Xiong stepped forward again, and the explosion of acceleration shocked Rivas physically and mentally!
He really didn't expect Qin Xiong to be able to change direction one after another and make changes in ball control acceleration.
After taking two steps forward, Qin Xiong had already come to the penalty area of Real Sociedad, and the moment he pulled the ball horizontally to the middle, the central defender Lavaka was forced to rush up helplessly, and as soon as he moved, Qin Xiong kicked the ball behind him with the arch of his foot.
Raul, who had been running around Qin Xiong, seized this gap and cut straight into the penalty area.
Perhaps it was because he had really spent too little time in the penalty area over the years, and Raul still chose to shoot hastily in the face of this golden opportunity.
Then under the gaze of countless fans at the Bernabeu, goalkeeper Lesgow blocked the ball with one palm!
"We don't know what to say about Raul's performance in the game, he has been working hard, and we have sympathy and respect for his contribution to Real Madrid in the past few years, as many fans who love Raul have said angrily: when Raul is desperately trying to win the game at the cost of a leg, where are the other superstars?
He is a defender of the dignity of the Bernabeu and has Real Madrid blood in his veins.
But so far this season, Raul's performances, especially as a striker, are too much to compliment us.
Raul had the most shots on goal so far in today's game with five, two of which were golden chances, but he missed both.
We don't know whether to say he's unlucky or if he's really lost his sharpness as a killer! ”
Qin Xiong's mentality has always been very good, even if he focuses on Raul's side and creates opportunities for Raul, but he can't get back a goal, he is still not discouraged.
Because he was playing in the midfield with the mindset of a midfield commander.
Focusing on Raul's side, it can be said that he is playing a game.
Even if Raul's side can't play effectively, it can only be said that there are no surprises, and the real purpose of this game is to make a sound!
Real Sociedad's defenders are nervous, and they will subconsciously block Raul and tilt the defensive force towards Raul's side!
Qin Xiong, who was watching the six roads, had been collecting information about the changes in the situation in the game.
The inclination of the Real Sociedad line, coupled with the fact that the alarm was not sounded on the other side for a long time.
It's time for the real killer to appear!
In the past three official games, no matter how well Qin Xiong played, it was only based on his personal ability.
And what he really enjoys is the sense of accomplishment of being the core of the team and leading the team to defeat the opponent!
Today, even if the whole team is not supporting him, even if Real Madrid's formal technical and tactical system is divided, the small attacking team can focus on him, and he will feel better and more comfortable than before! (To be continued......)
