Qin Xiong, accompanied by Sylvia, watched the weekend's sixth round of La Liga at home.
Real Madrid visited the Estadio Alfonso Pérez. Their city rival, Getafe, had performed well this season under the leadership of Schuster.
Real Madrid's problems were not only in the slightly amateurish rear guard line.
The fans fell into an uncontrollable longing after watching the first half of the game.
It was hard to imagine that Real Madrid, which was full of big names, only completed three shots in the first 45 minutes!
And all three shots were from long shots!
The offense was no threat, the creativity was exhausted, and there was no highlight in the offense that was worth cheering for.
The fans missed Zidane, and in the end, all of them missed Qin Xiong!
When he was not on the field, they realized in hindsight that he could not only bring the fans exciting football that was pleasing to the eyes, but also support the team's overall offense!
The game commentator also commented during the halftime interval, "Guti's performance was passable, but this is not the football that the Real Madrid fans expected. They now realize the importance of Qin Xiong. When the team's offense is in a quagmire, Qin Xiong's irreplaceable role will be highlighted. He can illuminate Real Madrid's direction in the dark and can help Real Madrid break out of the encirclement when they are besieged on all sides. Fortunately, he will soon return to the team."
Capello deployed his troops in the second half of the game. He once again reaped a huge disappointment after trusting Cassano. The Italian bad boy played another 45 minutes of the game and was replaced by the alien Ronaldo.
Diarra was also replaced in the first half of the game. Capello originally wanted to freeze Raúl for the midweek Champions League and the weekend's El Clásico de España, but he needed the team to get three points, so he stepped up the offense.
After Raúl and Ronaldo came on the field together, Real Madrid's offense still did not improve.
The key problem was not that Real Madrid did not have a finisher in the penalty area, but that they lacked a creator!
It was obvious at a glance that the organization of the attack was lacking. It was almost impossible to launch an attack that would surprise the opponent, and the speed of the attack could not be as fast as lightning to catch the opponent off guard.
While the match was in a stalemate, Getafe relied on a corner kick to attack in the 60th minute of the match. Alexis was able to suppress Bravo from eight yards behind the goal and successfully scored with a header!
Getafe was in the lead!
Real Madrid, who were trailing behind, became more and more anxious as they played. They became more and more disorganized, fouls were frequent, and the game was frequently interrupted by fouls.
Beckham was replaced by Robinho, and it was difficult for the cyclist to connect with his teammates after he entered the field. Guti was inferior to Qin Xiong in that his running range was reasonable and his ability to find gaps to provide support. Therefore, he could sometimes pass a lot of good balls, but the overall effect of connecting the dots was not on the same level as Qin Xiong.
This made the players on the front line unable to find the fulcrum of the triangle attack. Whether it was a transfer attack or a deep pass from the front to the back, it was difficult to play.
When Ronaldo was dissatisfied with the referee's decision in the 90th minute of the match and spoke rudely to the referee, he applied for a second yellow card for himself and then left the field amidst the gloating and mocking laughter of the Getafe fans.
Real Madrid was completely defeated at the feet of Getafe in the derby in the same city!
The post-match press conference was particularly lively, and the Spanish reporters who were waiting for a good show were looking forward to it.
In fact, yesterday, the famous reporter Trueba reminded the public: It's time!
What time is it?
That is, everyone pinched their fingers and counted Capello's original promise.
"Everyone will see the real Real Madrid in 50 days!"
Although the commentator Santos left a postscript yesterday, "Capello's pre-match press conference was very humorous, showing that he has a card up his sleeve. But what really happens, we still have to see the game!"
The result?
This Madrid mini-derby became Real Madrid's worst game in the new season!
Don't look at the score, it was only 0: 1, not far from the 2: 3 defeat at the Gerland Stadium.
But don't forget, Real Madrid was a team that advocated offense.
A defeat without a goal was far more painful than a defeat with a goal.
Looking at the statistics of the game, one could see how bad Real Madrid played.
Comparison of the number of shots in the game.
16:5
Number of shots in the goal.
6:0
Real Madrid looked to have a big advantage!
Oh, sorry, wrong!
This was not Bernabéu, and according to international practice, the home team was in front!
Real Madrid only had five shots in the 90 minutes of the game, and none of them were on target!
The reporters waited for Capello to continue to be stubborn and then retaliate.
He once boasted that with Diarra, they would lose at most three games in a season. What about now? Not even a third of the new season was over, and Real Madrid had already lost two games.
Let's see what else he has to say.
What surprised the reporters was that Capello's opening remarks at the post-match press conference was to admit defeat!
"Getafe played at a high level and won the game. Real Madrid had no rhythm, and they had more determination and speed. The opposing players were very aggressive, and we were at a disadvantage. Getafe played a very good game, and everything else was an excuse. In the second half, Helguera had cramps, but we had used up all three substitutions, and I couldn't substitute any more players. "
Capello also said, "Real Madrid's image is' very scary. ' Real Madrid now needs to forget this game and think about Tuesday's game against Club Atlético Madrid, which is very important for us. "
Yes, Real Madrid's image was really scary, and it made all the fans fall into fear.
Everyone thought that there were a lot of things waiting to be done. When the team's results improved, they felt that they were thriving. But this game seemed to have been beaten back to its original state, chaotic and disorderly. They could not fight. Would they continue to sink or what in the future?
Even if the results were excluded, it was not okay to always have ups and downs in performance. Who would believe that a team with ups and downs was stable? Who would dare to vow that the team would be better in the future?
Nobody would believe it!
Marca issued a sonorous and powerful voice after the game.
"Real Madrid's transformation of the defense is no longer realistic. Capello needs Qin Xiong!"
Emerson was labeled as a second-rate player, Cannavaro's form was not convincing enough, Ramos was still growing, and the full-backs were in a shortage.
Real Madrid's summer signings did focus on transforming the defense, but what was the result?
It was not that they did not have enough players. It could only be said that the investment in the defense in the transfer market did not achieve the expected good results.
If they insisted on transforming the defense, it would only be twice the effort for half the result.
Thinking about it from a different perspective, Real Madrid's focus shifted back to offense, and the team's moldable potential was still great.
At least, that was what the Spanish media thought.
Raúl, van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo, Cassano, Reyes, Robinho, Qin Xiong, Beckham, Guti …
If this series of names were placed in any other team, the manager's first thought would be: offense is not a problem at all!
But with the stubborn Capello, it became a big problem!
