Qin Xiong's train of thought was very clear.
The team was now implementing Capello's tactical philosophy.
Anyway, it was impossible to collectively rebel in the first game.
After all, after the fall of the Galactica era, Real Madrid actually hoped to find a bright path to glory.
What if Capello's tactical philosophy was correct?
What if it could change Real Madrid's image?
Even the Spanish local gang, headed by Raúl, did not want to be the focus of media criticism, ridicule, and ridicule.
So, everyone was working hard to do what the manager arranged.
But wanting to do it well and being able to do it well were two different things!
Capello just brought his tactical philosophy to start a revolution at the Bernabéu.
But was it teaching according to the players' aptitude? Could his Italian football thinking adapt to local conditions?
They could only leave it to time to give the answer.
One game could never prove anything.
A ten-minute game was even less of a point of reflection.
Since everyone was working hard, Qin Xiong certainly would not rush to take the lead.
Since he was surrounded in the midfield, it was difficult to form a direct connection with the trident. So, he moved horizontally in a wide range in the midfield.
He hoped to form an interactive corridor in the middle of the midfield with Carlos, Diarra, Emerson, and Salgado behind him.
Even if he did not push forward to attack, in such a horizontal movement, there would be a lot of opportunities for him to get rid of the encirclement. He could also play to his organizational ability to suddenly shift the attack.
But the problem appeared when he passed the ball to the four horizontal points behind him that could receive it. His teammates seemed to be in a hurry to pass the ball to the front field.
It was not that Qin Xiong thought highly of himself, but the effect of his teammates was really not satisfactory.
They just passed the ball to the teammates in the front field that they could see within their field of vision, but they could not create a threatening pass that surprised the Villarreal defensive line as a whole!
This led to Qin Xiong's efforts being in vain.
Villarreal easily put an end to Real Madrid's attack, and then they comfortably counterattacked.
Perhaps it was because Villarreal had repeatedly taken advantage of the gaps in the combination of the sides and the center to attack the flanks, but Real Madrid's rear defensive line continued to retreat and tighten. The chain reaction was that the middle and rear defensive lines and even the front line had to retreat to maintain the most basic three-line close combination without disconnecting the overall formation!
"Nihart shoots! Bravo's outstretched foot changed the direction of the football. That was close! The football brushed the outside of the goalpost and flew out of the end line! Casillas saved in the wrong direction. It's not his fault. Who asked Bravo to block it? "
Replacing Ramos, whose performance in the warm-up games did not make Capello feel at ease, Bravo was actually only at the stage that Capello was inspecting. Real Madrid's summer signings focused on defense. They filled in two defensive midfielders in the midfield and recruited the main defenders of the World Cup champions in the back line. This was already very good. Unfortunately, defense was Real Madrid's chronic illness. It was difficult to recover from the chronic illness. It might not be something that could be changed by bringing in two or three players.
After the middle and rear defensive lines retreated, Qin Xiong's previous predicament disappeared.
That was because Carlos, Diarra, Emerson, and Salgado's passing vision was no longer enough for them to directly pass the ball to the trident in front of them.
Coupled with their retreating position in a dangerous area, there was less time for them to think and deal with the ball. They would decisively pass the ball when they saw a safe spot nearby where they could pass the ball.
Qin Xiong actively ran to become the receiving point in the midfield. His teammates behind him would pass the ball to him when they saw him because he was a player with excellent positioning ability.
After the successful reception in the gap, Qin Xiong organized the offense forward again. It was better than before because he had space to rush up!
In the 26th minute of the game, Qin Xiong ran from the middle of the midfield to the right flank. Diarra, who was behind him, passed the ball directly to him. Sousa, who was guarding him beside him, was about to intercept Qin Xiong's running route to the front right. However, he did not expect Qin Xiong to receive the pass and directly knock the ball back in Emerson's direction.
Then he suddenly changed his running route. Carney and Nehart, who were behind him, did not expect Qin Xiong to suddenly make such a move.
Emerson's vision in front of him was very clear.
Qin Xiong was running toward the empty space on the left flank of the middle and front field. It could even be said that it was Qin Xiong who lured away the defenders there. However, in the change of route and the change of pace, Qin Xiong was in the dominant position. His speed also determined that if the opponents could not keep up, they would be shaken off by him.
Emerson passed the ball directly back to Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong adjusted his running pace in the direction of the rolling football and directly dribbled the ball forward.
Raúl quickly followed and ran in front of him on the left flank.
When Qin Xiong dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area, Senna moved horizontally to defend, wary of Qin Xiong directly charging into the penalty area.
Raúl ran into the empty space between Venta and Alvarez's flank. Van Nistelrooy also ran diagonally to the back of the goal. He took away Peña and Aruabarrena.
At that moment, Qin Xiong faced Senna and passed the ball diagonally.
The player who cut horizontally into the penalty area behind Van Nistelrooy was Cassano, who was pulled by Raúl from the other side and covered by Van Nistelrooy in front!
The Italian bad boy was unmarked!
Moreover, the two center backs of Villarreal CF split up to cooperate with the full backs to block Raúl and Van Nistelrooy. Cassano had a very good angle to shoot!
But Cassano shot the ball out of the end line!
The deviation of the ball from the goal was not too outrageous. But compared to the space and angle of his shot, it was obvious that the shot was terrible!
"Ka Sanuo has missed a great opportunity! Qin Xiong, Raúl, and Van Nistelrooy had already created the best space for him to shoot. This shot was better than a penalty kick, but he inconceivably missed! "
Cassano, who showed signs of recovery in the warm-up game, was regarded by the outside world as an important figure in Real Madrid's forward line in the new season because the manager was Capello, who needed a direct line!
But Cassano's shot seemed to shatter the expectations of the media and fans.
He also felt incredulous. He stood in place and touched his face helplessly with both hands as if he had seen a ghost.
Qin Xiong turned and left.
Six minutes later, Qin Xiong attracted a number of Villarreal CF's defenders in the midfield and suddenly sent out a long pass.
Raúl cut across the middle from the left side. He was actually a versatile player in the front field. He had played as a striker, a number nine and a half, an attacking midfielder, and a winger. So, in many areas in the front field, his play would not be affected. It was just that his positional sense was stronger.
Raúl cut across the middle to receive Qin Xiong's pass. With Senna also going forward to encircle Qin Xiong, Villarreal CF's rear line was in danger.
Van Nistelrooy became a player that Villarreal CF had to focus on marking. He once again ran to cover for Cassano. Raúl also took advantage of the opportunity to insert the ball diagonally into the empty space in the side of the penalty area.
Cassano rushed over and did not stop the ball and directly volleyed it!
The football was directly kicked into the arms of the goalkeeper, Vieira …
