974 Van der Vaart Lost
Real Madrid's atmosphere was a little tense ahead of the league weekend.
This tension stems from an eerie calm in the club.
There is a posture that the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.
At the beginning of May, in the next round of the league, Real Madrid will face Barcelona at the Bernabeu.
Until then, Real Madrid can't afford to make mistakes themselves and can't afford to miss the away game against Sevilla.
The pressure that has been accumulating for a long time is almost at the peak of the explosion.
Whether it's a player or an administrator, they all know that a season's hard work will be seen at the beginning of May, and whether it will be a complete failure or a win will depend on the outcome of that game.
And that game will be the best chance for Real Madrid to make a miracle.
With this long-standing pressure, Real Madrid went to the Pizjuán Stadium to challenge Sevilla.
Sevilla FC have just returned to the top four of the league, but were beaten by Barcelona by four goals in the last round, and the Champions League qualification place is hanging again.
Therefore, this match against Real Madrid is particularly crucial.
At 7 p.m. on the evening of April 16, the sun had not yet set, and the Spanish night always came late, and the light in the stadium was still abundant.
The Pizjuán Stadium was packed, and the players of Real Madrid and Sevilla were ready to play in the players' tunnel, all in a fighting spirit.
When the players of both teams walked onto the pitch, a deafening uproar erupted in the pitch.
Sevilla fans cheered on their home team and shouted shrill boos to put pressure on their opponents when the on-the-spot master of ceremonies announced the names of Real Madrid's starters.
"Welcome to the Pizjuan Stadium. The 33rd round of La Liga will be played here. Fourth-placed Sevilla FC sit at home to second-placed Real Madrid.
The two teams met in the first half of the season. Sevilla FC drew with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, and Sevilla narrowly missed the win in that game, and today at home, they may be able to taste their wish and knock out defending champions Real Madrid!
Real Madrid's form has improved since they were eliminated from the Champions League, and they are now clinging to Barcelona on four points, with six league games to go including this game. Real Madrid may not have a chance to reverse Barcelona, not to mention that Real Madrid will have a direct dialogue with Barcelona in the next round!
But the road has to be taken one step at a time, and the premise of the reversal of Barcelona is to play well in other games, and today is a crucial battle to see if Real Madrid can withstand the pressure and put in a convincing performance.
Sevilla started today with 4231.
Goalkeeper: Palop.
Defenders: Adriano, Prieto, Escude, Navarro.
Midfielders: Keylor Navas, Duscher, Romarridge. Renato, Perotti.
Forward: Kanout.
Real Madrid started 442.
Goalkeeper: Casillas.
Defender: Ramos. Pepe, Cannavaro, Marcelo.
Midfielders: Van der Vaart, Diarra, Qin Xiong, Sneijder.
Forwards: Raul, Higuain.
Both teams had key players on the bench, with Sevilla striker Fabiano suffering a minor injury and Real Madrid's Arjen Robben also being on the bench due to training discomfort.
The game is about to begin, and this spotlight battle is about to start! ”
Van der Vaart, who had been sitting on the bench for a long time and couldn't get a chance, finally started today.
However, he was in a position that he was not particularly good at, and he had been absent from the battle formation for a long time, and after the start of the game, Qin Xiong frequently interacted with Van der Vaart, allowing him to interact with the attacking group in the front court.
Sevilla's overall strength is still relatively strong, especially the home game is extremely aggressive.
In the process of frantically encircling and suppressing Real Madrid's midfield, Van der Vaart couldn't keep up with the rhythm at first, and repeatedly failed to pass the ball, failed to break through or was forced to grab and finally lost the ball, which made Real Madrid fall into passivity.
In the 16th minute of the game, Qin Xiong faced the siege of Romaric and Duschel in the midfield, and he passed the ball diagonally to Van der Vaart, who cut forward in the gap.
What was unexpected was that Van der Vaart wanted to break through Navarro's pressing in a row, and the football was passed by him, but he also lost control of the football.
Escud made a successful steal, and it was a kick, the football passed behind Qin Xiong, Romaric rushed forward, and after Qin Xiong turned around and chased back two steps, Romaric slanted the ball into the left side of the bottom line.
Perotti, who was inserted in the front, calmly kicked the ball back when Ramos was chasing back quickly, and Ramos's center of gravity could not adjust after he pounced, and Perotti took two steps to the outside line, while observing and adjusting to prepare for the ball.
Canute in the middle attracted the attention of Pepe and Cannavaro in the box.
The two watched Kanute close to him.
Kanoute deliberately rushed forward in the direction of goal to threaten and Pepe and Cannavaro followed up, causing the distance between the back line and the midfield line to be widened, creating a small vacuum in the box.
Perotti completed the cross at this point.
Football is flying into that vacuum!
Renato, who was completely unmarked, stepped in and scored with a header!
The football was consciously pushed by him to the left half of the goal, the angle was not particularly tricky, but the ball speed was fast enough, Casillas couldn't save it in the move, and watched the football fly into the goal!
The Estadio de Pizjuán cheered as the Sevillans celebrated their goals wildly.
"The ball is in! Sevilla FC were the first to score the first goal for Real Madrid!
Renato scores with a header from Perotti's cross!
Now almost all teams know that playing teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona must do a good job of switching between attack and defense, counterattack must be fast, as long as the ball is successful, it must be firm and decisive to counterattack, which naturally requires the team's strong tactical execution ability and keen insight into the situation.
Sevilla did just that in this attack, with Van der Vaart's conceded goal giving them the chance to play a quick counter-attack, Romarici's shot was on point, Perotti calmly handled the ball to create the goal, and Canoute covered for Renato.
Sevilla's goal is a textbook counter-attacking lesson! ”
Real Madrid's players immediately felt a lot of pressure, especially Van der Vaart, who did not perform well after the opening, which was related to his position and the fact that he had not played for a long time.
There were no team-mates to blame him, but he himself was a little lost, and after a three-third of a good season, he seemed to be a chicken rib at the Bernabeu.
The team no longer has his main position, and when he should take advantage of the opportunity, he has become a burden to the team and has a negative effect. (To be continued.) )
