Capello excluded Qin Xiong from Real Madrid's squad for the Copa del Rey and did not even make the substitute list.

This is what he wants to do to protect Qin Xiong, and Qin Xiong needs to rest, after all, Real Madrid's opponent in the fourth round of the Copa del Rey is Esca from the third division.

With the exception of the physically fit and energetic Diarra, none of Capello's other 10 players in the starting line-up were regular players.

Of course, even so, Real Madrid's starting list is still luxurious, such as Cassano, Ronaldo, Robinho, Guti, Beckham and others, as for the captain's armband is to stay on the arm of the academy's failed product Pavon, which is a tradition of Real Madrid, the captain's armband is generally worn on the arm of the most senior player.

Qin Xiong watched Real Madrid's Copa del Rey match against Eschai at home.

When the game was over, Qin Xiong turned off the TV and went back to the bedroom to go to bed and hugged Sylvia to sleep.

He knew the next day's media coverage would be a small storm.

Real Madrid 1:1 Esticha.

The first leg of the Copa del Rey was held to a draw by the third division!

Don't look at Real Madrid's starting lineup, which can be called luxurious, but the team's offensive system is still out of order.

After the game, Capello did not express his dissatisfaction with the players, but vented his grievances on the field conditions.

"The pitch here is not a pitch at all, it's hard to play on a pitch like this. But overall, the score was fair, including a couple of good chances we had in the closing stages of the game. ”

However, his claims were not convincing to the media, and some gloating media outlets directly carried out the headline that Real Madrid was beaten back to its original form by the third division team.

In fact, Real Madrid does not pay enough attention to the Copa del Rey. Because everyone's main focus is still on the league and the Champions League. Even Capello said a draw in the first leg was acceptable.

I said. The result doesn't matter, the most important thing is that we don't have any injuries, but even then there were a few little discomforts with a couple of our players coming off and I was most worried about Reyes, David Beckham and Cassano. ”

After the Copa del Rey and the league at the weekend, Real Madrid will travel to Tarragona.

In view of the last league fixture in the Spanish national derby, Real Madrid won a brilliant 3-0. In the league, Real Madrid gives the image of being imposing.

In particular, Qin Xiong will return to the starting lineup to play.

Tarragona are not strong, but they have a lot of ideas to play at home.

They caused problems for Real Madrid with a beastly impact and a run that spared no expense.

Real Madrid were really frightened by the crazy momentum of their opponents in the early stages of the game.

The first goal of the game came from the penalty spot, when Tarragona striker Marcukula was brought down by Cannavaro in the box and the opponents won a penalty before taking a one-time lead over Real Madrid.

Qin Xiong did not fight hard in the game, he skillfully used the playmaking and scheduling in the midfield to consume the opponent's physical energy to run hard, and then crushed the opponent's two midfielders Buards and Piña with his personal ability to get rid of it when the time was right, and when the opponent's more and more defenders came to encircle him, he created more relaxed attacking opportunities for his teammates, which he did very well.

Towards the end of the first half. Reyes set up Ruud van Nistelrooy to equalise.

In the second half, Qin Xiong still did not change his strategy, and he kept playing with Tarragona's overall defensive formation. Drains your opponent's stamina.

Insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness.

Maybe the audience wanted to see Qin Xiong's frequent personal skill demonstrations, but those professional football critics couldn't help but give a thumbs up after seeing Qin Xiong's performance in the game.

Qin Xiong is like a commander in the art of war, methodically suppressing the overall strength of his opponent.

When the 65th minute came, Qin Xiong successfully broke through to Piña for the fourth time and sent a precise through ball to Vanney, who did not squander the opportunity created by Qin Xiong, and he managed to score twice and rewrite the score to 2:1.

Real Madrid unsurprisingly achieved a comeback.

After 70 minutes, the mentality of the entire Tarragona squad was a little tragic.

They can't run!

After Qin Xiong mobilized Real Madrid's offensive to control the rhythm of the game, the physical price they paid to maintain their pressing efficiency was beyond imagination.

Then, Real Madrid's attack became very easy.

Tarragona's overall defensive movement and complementing were the first problems, Qin Xiong in the 79th minute of the game in front of the penalty area diagonally in the ribs of the penalty area to Raul, Raul swept the ball across the back of the goal, and Reyes, who cut into the box on the other side, easily pushed the ball into the empty net.

3:1

Real Madrid sealed the win.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Tarragona's players almost cowered in the box, and the discouragement after the high physical load made them seem to be reluctant to move, just using their bodies to prevent Real Madrid from continuing to score.

Before full-time, Qin Xiong blasted the ball into Tarragona's goal from the edge of the area, and the angle was somewhat correct, but it still led to goalkeeper Ruben Perez making a save, and then the central defender Liela made a mistake in clearing the ball, and he kicked the ball to Raul.

Raul smiled and sent the ball straight into the back of the net.

4:1

After the Spanish derby, Real Madrid won the match again.

When the match ended, Qin Xiong was about to leave the field, but was surrounded by three Tarragona players, who asked Qin Xiong for his jersey, and Qin Xiong was embarrassed because he didn't know who to exchange jerseys with.

In the end, it was up to Tarragona's three teammates to coordinate with each other.

After having the result, Qin Xiong exchanged jerseys with the opponent and then left calmly.

This scene was recorded by the media, and it was reported after the game, claiming that this reflected the degree to which Qin Xiong's fame and strength were recognized.

After his conquests of the Netherlands and England, he also began to convince his opponents in Spain!

This is Capello's 50th La Liga milestone under Real Madrid, and it also marks Raul's 12th anniversary with Real Madrid.

Being able to defeat the opponent with a score of 4:1 can be regarded as a successful end to this special day.

The big-mouthed Calderón actually preached before the game that "Real Madrid will win in Tarragona." ”

The end of the game also gave him a chance to praise the team.

"I'm proud that Real Madrid managed to win despite the difficulties. You can see how our defenders are fighting, not only playing at a high level, protecting the goal, but also being very sacrificial, and we are on the way forward. ”

In fact, no matter how much the outside world criticizes Calderón, sometimes his remarks are still very important, especially those that praise the team, which can have a positive effect on the team in the rising period.

After all, in the Florentino era, too many players were submerged in the aura of superstars, and Florentino only had superstars in his eyes. (To be continued......)
