Even though Real Madrid's offense in the front field had some smooth results, the team's front and back field was constantly divided due to the tactical contradictions.
Qin Xiong's offense was too much forward pressure, while the players in the middle and back field had to stand on defense and did not dare to rush forward, which led to him occasionally being disconnected from the midfield.
It could be said that the middle and back field stood on defense, while the attacking players in the front field had to play deep to tear apart the opponent's dense defensive line. Their running positions were bound to shuttle back and forth frequently. This kind of reverse stretching was the main reason why Real Madrid's formation occasionally broke in this game. Fortunately, Real Madrid did not have the ability to seize the opportunity to cut the throat when there was an opportunity to switch between offense and defense, so Real Madrid did not expose a bigger problem.
But under such circumstances, one player became the target of the Bernabéu fans' dissatisfaction.
Emerson!
Diarra was mainly responsible for defensive interception in the midfield, and he did an excellent job. Since Diarra joined Real Madrid, he had almost never been beaten one-on-one.
The other of the two defensive midfielders, Emerson, was not only responsible for the defensive tasks, but also for the organizational support, including the transition hub work in the front and back field during the switch between offense and defense.
But he did not do an ideal job today.
Every time the football was at his feet, he slowed down the overall rhythm. He had a loose ball control environment, but he seemed clueless and was particularly hesitant when handling the ball.
It was not known whether he did not have a plan or was overthinking. He did not dare to make a move in the face of the opponent's counterattack. The conservative return pass naturally did not give away the ball, but it also allowed the opponent to successfully delay Real Madrid's offensive speed.
When it was time to pass the ball forward, he always had to observe for a long time and hesitate for a long time. When the ball was finally passed out, Real Madrid had to face the opponent's tight and orderly defensive formation.
The Bernabéu fans were not very satisfied with Emerson since he came to Real Madrid because the fans wanted to see the team play a fast offense like Barcelona. Emerson, who was in a key position in the midfield, did not have the ability to individually push forward and accelerate. Secondly, in terms of passing ability, he did not have the ability to hit where the ball was pointed.
So, after 20 minutes of the game, the fans would erupt in boos whenever Emerson hesitated when handling the ball!
Emerson's hesitation affected Raúl's play.
Raúl was the player who wanted Real Madrid to speed up their offense the most, so he retreated in a wide range to provide support and link work, hoping to keep the offense in a high-speed state. He knew that only by continuously creating offensive pressure on Real Madrid could they break the opponent's tight defense.
But if Raul tried to juggle too many things at once, he would not be able to achieve better results.
In the 22nd minute of the game, he retreated back to the midfield and played a one-two with Qin Xiong before passing the ball directly to the right flank. Reyes passed the ball from the flank to find the back point. Raul rushed into the penalty area and dived for the header. The football was about a meter away from the goal and out of the end line.
Raúl's's's's's's goal to encourage the goal's goal.
Five minutes later, Qin Xiong controlled the ball in the front field to face Rivas and Prieto.
He appeared to be slow, but he was waiting.
Raúl used van Nistelrooy as a cover to cut diagonally into the penalty area from the flank. Qin Xiong saw the timing of his movement and sent a diagonal straight ball with his foot. The ball caused Real Madrid's defense to collapse completely. Raúl charged diagonally into the penalty area for a direct volley, but his shot was too direct.
The goalkeeper, Lesgo, confiscated the ball.
Everyone saw Raúl's efforts, but the effect was not ideal.
Real Madrid's defenders also saw Raúl's's's's''s''s''s''s' ', but they looked more confident instead.
What if Real Madrid kept creating opportunities for a player who did not wear goalscoring boots?
Would there be any threat?
But Real Madrid just kept on doing it!
The executor was Qin Xiong.
He constantly created opportunities for Raúl, allowing Real Madrid's attacks to frequently shift to the left.
In the 31st minute of the game, Qin Xiong moved to the left wing, and Qin Xiong passed the ball directly to him. Qin Xiong's dribbling speed was very slow at first, but in front of Gerard, he suddenly changed direction inside and nimbly and easily got rid of Gerard's defense. Rivas rushed horizontally, and Qin Xiong dribbled the ball forward again. The burst of acceleration made Rivas's body and mind tremble!
He really did not expect Qin Xiong to be able to continuously change directions and accelerate the ball.
After advancing two steps forward, Qin Xiong had already arrived in front of Real Sociedad's penalty area. The moment he headed horizontally toward the middle to kick the ball, the center back Lavaca had no choice but to rush up. As soon as he moved, Qin Xiong kicked the ball behind him with the arch of his foot.
Raúl, who had been running near Qin Xiong, seized this gap to cut straight into the penalty area.
Perhaps he had spent too little time in the penalty area over the years. Faced with this golden opportunity, Raúl still chose to shoot carelessly.
Then, under the gaze of countless Bernabéu fans, the goalkeeper, Riesgo, blocked the ball with one hand!
"We don't know how to evaluate Raúl's performance in the game. He has been working very hard, and we sympathize with and respect his contributions to Real Madrid in the past few years. As many fans who love Raúl once angrily said: When Raúl fought for victory at the cost of a leg, where were the other superstars?
He is the defender of the dignity of Bernabéu, and the blood of Real Madrid flows in his body.
But so far this season, Raúl's performance, especially as a striker, is really not flattering.
In today's game so far, Raúl is the player with the most shots on the field, with five. Two of them were golden opportunities, but he missed them both.
We don't know if we should say that he is unlucky or that he has really lost his drive as a killer! "
Qin Xiong's mentality had always been very good. Even if he was attacking Raúl's side to create opportunities for Raúl, he was still not discouraged after the situation where he could not exchange for a goal.
That was because he was using the thinking of a midfield commander to play as an attacking midfielder.
Attacking Raúl's side could be said to be setting a trap.
Even if Raúl's side did not have an effect, it could only be said that there were no surprises. The real purpose of this trap was to create a diversion!
Real Sociedad's defensive players were nervous. They would subconsciously block Raúl and tilt the defensive power toward Raúl's side!
Qin Xiong, who was watching from all sides, had been collecting information about the changes in the situation in the game.
The tilting of Real Sociedad's defensive line, coupled with the fact that the other side did not sound the alarm for a long time.
The real murderous intent was about to appear!
In the past three official games, no matter how well Qin Xiong played, it was only because of his personal ability.
What he really enjoyed was the sense of accomplishment of being the core of the team and leading the team to defeat the opponent!
Today, even if the whole team did not support him, even if Real Madrid's official technical and tactical system was divided, he would feel better and more comfortable than before with the small offensive team at the center!
