Sept. 17, 9 p.m.

The Bernabeu was packed, and the third round of La Liga was played here.

There is speculation that Qin Xiong and Raul may be kicked out of the starting list by Capello.

But in yesterday's pre-match press conference, Capello appeared to be trying to further appease the Spanish homeroots, repeatedly insisting that Raul is a great player and an absolute workhorse in the team.

When the game was about to start, players from both sides walked into the pitch.

Raul still leads the Real Madrid squad as captain, followed by Qin Xiong, and Capello did not kick Qin Xiong out of the starting list after all.

Because he just wants Qin Xiong to strengthen his defense, it doesn't mean that he doesn't need Qin Xiong's offensive creation ability!

Coupled with Qin Xiong's performance in the past three games, if he wins Qin Xiong, there is no justifiable reason at all.

"The third round of La Liga is about to begin, with Real Madrid taking on Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu.

Will Real Madrid's morale after a failed attempt to get revenge at home in Lyon suffer?

Much of the news surrounding Real Madrid lately has been about problems in the dressing room.

Marca is right about the fact that Fabio Capello is now coaching Real Madrid is very different from the Real Madrid he coached ten years ago.

At that time, the stars did not have such a huge influence as now, and at that time, Seedorf, Raul, and Carlos were still young players, and Real Madrid definitely did not receive as much attention as it does today.

So if Capello is using the methods of the past to manage the current Real Madrid, this strategy will not work, Capello needs to keep up with the times. What he wants to change is himself. And not the Real Madrid stars!

All right. Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both teams today.

Real Madrid started 433.

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Siciño, Cannavaro, Ramos, Carlos.

Midfielders: Diarra, Qin Xiong, Emerson.

Forwards: Reyes, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Raul.

Real Sociedad started 442.

Goalkeeper: Lesgow.

Defender: Reikat. Lavaca, Juanito, Garrido.

Midfielders: Gerrard, Rivas, Prieto, Aramburu.

Forwards: Uranga, Serio.

The game started with Real Madrid kicking off first. ”

As soon as the game began, Qin Xiong felt that he was slightly more comfortable playing today than in the past three games.

Reyes, Vanney. Raul doesn't just think about playing up front as soon as he controls the ball. Go directly to the front of Real Sociedad's goal, and they will actively seek cooperation with Qin Xiong, who will control the rhythm and general direction of the attack.

Although Real Sociedad seems to play a 442, it actually came to the Bernabeu to play a one-sided flying wing counterattack tactic, only one side of the midfield will advance in the attack, and the two forwards are also in a staggered position, forming a triangular attacking system in the front half of the area.

When Qin Xiong controlled the ball in the front court, basically Real Madrid was disconnected from the front and back.

Because of the double back and four defenders in the central midfield, under Capello's tactical requirements, the full-backs cannot pass half the court, and the double backs must also put defense first.

Qin Xiong can't even see them as a point of contact, because their ball will make the front court attack start again.

In the 4th minute of the game, Qin Xiong moved to the right side of the front, and Reyes completed a two-by-one cooperation in a row, and when he rushed forward, his galloping speed tore apart the midfield defense of Real Sociedad like a devastating one, and Rivas, Prieto, and Aramburu could not freeze Qin Xiong in the bag, which came from the tacit understanding between Reyes and Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiong received Reyes' pass on the right side in front of the penalty area and suddenly crossed directly, he passed the ball to the back of the goal, Raul hit a hasty cushion shot at the back point, he wanted to hit a dead corner in the upper right corner of the goal, that is, the goalkeeper moved to block the reverse cut line, this kind of shot is the most difficult for the goalkeeper to react, unless the place to stop and save can still touch the football.

Goalkeeper Lethgow had already raised his hand in surrender, but was relieved when he turned his head to look at it, and the ball went over the crossbar.

Raul sighed in frustration, then cheered up and gave Qin Xiong a thumbs up and applauded his pass.

Real Sociedad started from this moment and put 90% of their energy on defense.

If Qin Xiong came to La Liga a month ago and did not attract attention, especially for teams that do not participate in the Champions League and do not pay attention to the Champions League games, Qin Xiong actually did not arouse their strong vigilance, but after two consecutive La Liga games, Qin Xiong's performance of one shot and three sets has made all La Liga teams begin to pay attention to his existence.

Three minutes later, Qin Xiong moved to the left wing, and his personal possession of the ball suddenly increased along the outside line and passed Gerard before suddenly sending a 45-degree diagonal long pass, and the outside arc rubbed out of the right instep was looking for the front front of Vanney's sprint.

Real Sociedad's back line did not shrink into the box to the extreme, because Qin Xiong's possession of the ball seemed to be a little far away from the penalty area, which just gave Ruud van Nistelrooy space to sprint.

Ruud van Nistelrooy took two steps forward and headed straight at the goal, where goalkeeper Lethgow made a brilliant save and blocked the ball with one palm!

There was a round of applause from the stands at the Bernabeu.

Everyone can see how strong Qin Xiong's ability is in creating opportunities, and even the audience can't guess it many times.

In the 11th minute of the game, Qin Xiong fell into a trap in the midfield, he stabbed the ball to the right side in the gap, Reyes quickly walked along the side, driving Real Sociedad's defense to retreat, and Real Madrid's offensive depth was quickly played.

After going down the wing, Reyes suddenly crossed the ball back to the right in front of the penalty area.

Qin Xiong, who was inserted in the back, met the ball and volleyed directly!

The ball slammed into Real Sociedad's goal in a slick trajectory and goalkeeper Lesgow was unresponsive, but the crossbar saved Real Sociedad.

Bang!

Qin Xiong's shot hit the crossbar and bounced off the stands.

'Real Madrid were very fluid up front today, creating a succession of chances on goal to threaten Real Sociedad's goal, which is an improvement for Real Madrid and their best opening game of the new season.

Capello stood on the sidelines and watched the game, in fact, he didn't feel much change in the team, intuitively, just Real Madrid's frontcourt cooperation was smoother, and his teammates were more active.

This is the effect he wants.

It's just that offense and defense are always one.

Real Sociedad is not strong, plus it is a guest at the Bernabeu.

Capello's tactical requirements for the wingers to return to the penalty area, whether the players can execute perfectly, I am afraid that the effect will not be seen today.

At the very least, you have to face an opponent who can threaten the Real Madrid defence. (To be continued......)
