Chapter 488: What does it mean to be caught off guard
After winning the Madrid derby, Real Madrid went unbeaten in seven league games and became the leader of La Liga with 19 points.
Rossi leads the scorers list with six goals.
The perfect start has allowed Real Madrid to take the initiative since the start of the new season.
In the following October, Real Madrid won 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in five games, and the fierce momentum began to decline, and it was tied by Barcelona in the standings.
This is also a normal situation.
I believe that except for Bayern, the top of other leagues rarely has a dominant situation.
The new BBL pair, which combined to score 17 goals in all competitions, is an important force for Real Madrid to sing all the way.
Benzema has 4 goals and 2 assists.
Bale has 4 goals and 3 assists.
Rossi has nine goals and four assists.
Rossi's performance is still consistent, but his role in the team is not just about goals and assists.
Offensive involvement and threatening passing.
These two improvements have made Real Madrid a team that has made players all over Europe tremble in attack.
After winning Galatasaray 6:0, Real Madrid also locked up the Champions League group qualification in advance.
In front of them, there is only Paris Saint-Germain, who are the top of the group.
A win over the final round of the Champions League group stage at the end of November would see Real Madrid top the group on goal difference.
With Kroos, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema resting on Saturday, Zinedine Zidane began to prepare for next Wednesday's Champions League fixture.
Barcelona, who started first, defeated Atletico Madrid 1:0 and temporarily led Real Madrid by 3 points, which put some pressure on Real Madrid, which started the game late.
Real Madrid's opponents are not very easy to deal with.
Real Sociedad, also known as Real Sociedad, began in the first half of the 2014-15 season, winning only four games, three of which were back-to-back victories over Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
What's even more amazing is that the director's three victories are feats accomplished under the joint direction of Alsette, Santana, and Moyes respectively.
At this point, the notoriety of the "underworld" spread, and they also became giant killers in La Liga, robbing the rich and helping the poor.
In this game, Rossi also took the lead for the first time at the Bernabeu, becoming the team's starting only center forward.
As soon as the game began, Real Sociedad turned on their "underworld" attribute and attacked Real Madrid's goal.
The anti-guest is the mainstay, which makes the Real Madrid players a little unprepared.
In the second minute of the opening game, captain Sergio Ramos made a mistake in the return pass, and Real Sociedad's high striker William Jose seized the opportunity to take the lead.
After that, Real Sociedad launched a fierce front-court press, and once destroyed Real Madrid's passing rhythm to pieces.
They are very restricted to Modric, the core of Real Madrid, and almost as soon as they get the ball, they will be immediately robbed.
In place of Kroos, it was teenager Ernesto Valverde.
He is characterized by advancing with the ball, and he is also struggling under the fierce pressing of Real Sociedad.
If that's the case next, Zidane will have to consider bringing Kroos on the second half to help sort out the midfield's attack.
"Hey, Federico!"
After distributing the ball to the wing, Modric pointed to his eyes and reminded Valverde to keep an eye on his surroundings.
Be especially careful when receiving the ball at the back, as the opponent can launch a fierce attack on the goal once the ball is broken.
The reason why Real Madrid's attack is difficult to advance is that Valverde's success rate in this game is too low.
So Modric wants him to be involved in the team's passing and not blindly advance with the ball.
Seeing the team's midfield in trouble, Rossi retreated from the front line to respond.
"Pass!"
Just after Valverde received the ball, Rossi quickly retreated and reached for the ball.
Rossi's pullback made Real Sociedad's midfield defence a little flustered, failing to interfere in the first place, giving him space to receive the ball.
When they reacted and lunged at Rossi, Rossi stood in place, stepped on the ball with his right foot, and gently pushed to the left.
Modric, who was inserted in the back, accelerated while receiving the ball, and then Rossi covered and instantly broke through the Real Sociedad defense and hit the penalty area.
Because one of the central defenders was brought out by Rossi, the other central defender did not dare to fight when defending.
Once a foul is committed, there is absolutely no escaping a red card.
"Come out quickly!"
In desperation, centre-back Ellutondo wanted the goalkeeper to attack and block the line.
Remiro also made a decisive move, lowering his centre of gravity and preparing to fall to the ground at any moment, blocking the angle of Modric's shot as much as possible.
Just when Mo Ma was caught in the bag, he passed the ball behind him.
That's right!
Under the pressure of the opponent, without vision, Modric used his heel to knock the ball back.
Rossi, who was outflanked at the back point, faced the empty goal, smiled easily, and equalized the score.
The Bernabeu, which has been silent for a long time, is finally boiling.
It was all the delicate combination of Rossi and Luka Modric that tore apart Real Sociedad's carefully laid out defence.
The commentators at the scene were even more excited than ever.
【GOAL!!!!!! 】
[The ball is in, Rossi equalizes for Real Madrid!] 】
[The cooperation between him and Modric is simply picturesque! 】
[His lazy putt creates space for Modric to break through!] 】
[And Modric's imaginative heel knock made this great goal!] 】
[The two of them tore apart the defense of Real Sociedad almost without much effort! ] 】
[It's so chic, it's so easy! 】
With a score of 1:1, the two sides ended the first half of the game.
At half-time, Zidane stressed the need to speed up the attacking tempo at the beginning of the second half.
Because Real Sociedad pressed high in the first half, they consumed too much energy, so they must want to stabilize first.
If you suddenly speed up, you will definitely catch your opponent off guard
With the manager's instructions, Real Madrid attacked their opponents frantically at the start of the second half.
Rossi continued to drop back to pick up and bring Real Sociedad out of the defence, and Modric sent a through ball through the defence.
Rossi acts as a single arrow, and after retreating, the wing-back on the strong side has to step behind the defensive line in time to receive the pass.
Not only that, but Valverde, as an attacking midfielder, must also be the first to step forward.
Modric's through ball was a direct finding of Valverde in the middle ribs.
Step up the offense!
Unprepared!
These words kept echoing in Valverde's mind.
Just as he was in the process of inserting forward, he secretly made up his mind that he was going to tell his opponent what they were called unprepared.
As he strode and galloped, he adjusted his pace and shot directly at the ball.
Defender Diego Llorente didn't expect him to shoot straight at goal without stopping.
When he fell to the ground and slid and tried to block, but it was too late.
The ball went through the top left corner of the goal and into the net like a cannonball.
2:1!
Real Madrid, after the start of the second half, also used only two points to respond to Real Sociedad with a goal.
Don't be foolish at the Bernabeu!
Because Lao Tzu is more horizontal than you!
