What the Real Madrid fans were most worried about did not happen in the opening stage.
Of course, they were worried that Ramos would be completely destroyed by Ronaldinho!
In fact, in a one-on-one situation, Ramos was still unable to stop Ronaldinho.
However, Capello's defensive tactical design was still effective. He used Diarra to escort Ramos, or rather, he used Ramos as a distraction, allowing Diarra to display his overbearing interception ability. At least, this played the ideal effect in the first confrontation between Ramos and Ronaldinho.
The Real Madrid fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, a scene that stunned them happened on the field.
Diarra passed the ball to Qin Xiong. When Qin Xiong took the ball, Iniesta pressed on beside him. Qin Xiong directly strode the ball and left Iniesta behind.
Deco did not have time to return to the midfield. Qin Xiong's forward burst was very sharp.
Xavi moved to the front of Qin Xiong in the midfield. When Qin Xiong had already rushed up, he did not try to directly break through Xavi in order not to delay the speed of the attack. He was confident that he could break through Xavi, but that required a change of direction.
Qin Xiong passed the ball to the area where Reyes was in front of the right side.
After the ball was passed, Qin Xiong continued to charge forward. Without slowing down, he quickly left Xavi behind. Reyes did not force it against Qin Xiong's defense. He passed the ball to Qin Xiong again.
At the same time, van Nistelrooy had already stepped into the penalty area. Raúl cut inside from the left side to the front of the middle of the penalty area. Qin Xiong had many places to pass the ball.
As Silvinho contracted to the middle, Qin Xiong passed the ball diagonally behind him. Silvinho turned around and went to defend against Reyes, who pulled the side down.
At this time, Thuram was pinned down by van Nistelrooy. Puyol also had to be wary of his old rival Raúl's frontal charge.
Reyes pretended to pass the ball to make Silvinho shift his defensive center of gravity and extend his foot to block. He deftly hooked the ball behind Silvinho and then cut into the penalty area.
Looking up to observe the situation in the penalty area, Reyes sent a ball rolling.
Puyol immediately ran in the direction of the football, but his heart was already a little cold!
Bang!
Before he could put down a shovel to block the ball, someone had already received the ball and directly shot it!
The goalkeeper, Valdés, did not react at all. The football flew from the inside of the near post into the top right corner of the goal!
Bernabeu was shocked!
Both the Real Madrid and Barcelona fans were stunned.
It hadn't even been three minutes since the start of the match and he had already scored?
Real Madrid's first attack was successful?
When everyone widened their eyes and saw the Chinese player wearing the number 9 uniform rushing to the sidelines with a roar on his face, they were sure when they saw the image in the middle circle of the referee's finger.
He really scored!
Bernabéu's cheers were deafening as the fans cheered excitedly for the team.
Cheers for the hero who scored the first goal of the game.
Qin Xiong!
Qin Xiong rushed to the sidelines and celebrated with a rare roar.
At this moment, he was like the king of the jungle, a lion roaring!
The whole world, did you hear my roar?
This was the roar of a king!
It shook the entire Grassi world!
"Real Madrid scored! Oh my God! 139 seconds into the game, Qin Xiong helped Real Madrid to take the lead! A dream start!
Real Madrid immediately launched a quick counterattack after a successful defense.
Qin Xiong broke through Iniesta in the midfield and did a wall combination with Reyes in the front field. Reyes also performed well. He used a fake to knock over Silvinho and then provided an assist for Qin Xiong.
When Qin Xiong cut into the penalty area, Thuram and Puyol were distracted by van Nistelrooy and Raúl respectively. When Puyol wanted to intercept Qin Xiong again, it was already too late!
Qin Xiong's explosive shot made Valdés in front of the goal line useless. This goal is wonderful! "
Capello waved his fist fiercely on the sidelines. At least this goal reflected the success of his tactical arrangement for the game.
Rijkaard's face was gloomy.
Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong again!
But he had no choice!
Looking at Barcelona's midfield configuration, Xavi, Iniesta, and Deco were not strong defensive players!
Rijkaard needed their small team cooperation to control the game situation and form the ability to control and oppress.
But once Real Madrid got a good chance to counterattack, especially when there was space to break through and a star player with the ability to break through had the ball, Barcelona's midfield defensive zone would be like flat ground for the opponent!
The whole Barcelona team was under a lot of psychological pressure after conceding the goal at the beginning of the game.
After the restart of the game, they did not dare to attack rashly, fearing that Real Madrid would seize the opportunity to quickly counterattack.
They were especially concerned about Qin Xiong's position.
Barcelona, still with Ronaldinho as the offensive core in the front field, only tried a new wave of offense in the seventh minute of the game.
Ronaldinho succeeded in breaking through Ramos on the flank, but he did not dare to move to the middle. Instead, he went to the outside. When Ramos turned back to block him, he used a fancy floral pass. The visual effect was good, but the landing point of the pass was not good. It was cleared by Cannavaro's header.
The football returned to the outside. Deco controlled the ball and passed it back to Xavi.
Barcelona continued to control the ball.
Ten minutes into the game, Barcelona's possession rate soared, almost three times that of Real Madrid!
But they did not create a threatening offense.
In the 12th minute of the game, Deco tried to pass the ball to Gudjohnsen, but the football was directly intercepted by Helguera when it rolled into the penalty area!
That scene was really heart-wrenching, but Helguera immediately won the cheers of the Real Madrid fans after he intercepted the ball.
The most obvious difference between Gudjohnsen and Eto 'o was that Eto' o was a top anti-offside player!
It was often seen that Barcelona's attacking group in the middle and front field delivered anti-offside direct passes to Eto 'o, and Eto' o was always able to quickly plug in and seize the opportunity like a cheetah.
But Gudjohnsen was not like Eto 'o who could be like a fish in water on the offside line, and his speed and explosive power were obviously not as good as Eto' o's.
This caused Barcelona's offense to lose a big advantage!
After Helguera intercepted the ball, the experienced him did not panic. He only passed the ball after observing the most reasonable passing target. The bodyguard with a sword on the defensive line did not simply provide defense. What he could bring to the team included the offense that started from the defensive line, or the stability of the transition between offense and defense.
The football rolled to Emerson's feet.
Emerson did not turn around and directly passed the ball to the right flank.
The Brazilian, who was criticized by the fans for being old, had been speeding up. Not only his running speed, but also his passing speed. He did not want to be attacked by the outside world again, so he could only improve his performance.
When the football rolled to the right flank, Ronaldinho, who did not participate in the defense, saw Ramos running forward as fast as lightning as he walked back. He kicked the ball forward on the flank.
Real Madrid's counterattack was coming again!
