The Bernabéu crowd was focused on Qin Xiong. They wanted to see how he would deal with this opportunity.
When the football rolled in front of him, Qin Xiong's back was facing Barcelona's half of the field. Xavi was also close to him. He already knew in his heart that it was a foul!
As long as Qin Xiong stopped the ball, he believed that he still had a chance to foul if he dribbled horizontally to get rid of him. As long as it was not too obvious, he believed that the referee would not selflessly give him a second yellow card. There was bound to be a risk, but there was no other way.
If Qin Xiong passed the ball, he still had a chance to keep up with Qin Xiong. He also made up his mind to follow Qin Xiong like a shadow.
In a flash, the moment Qin Xiong touched the ball, Xavi's thoughts were in a mess.
Qin Xiong used his left foot to meet the rolling football and kicked the side of the football. He used his strength and the football changed direction slightly. It still rolled toward Barcelona's half of the field, but it went from the left side of Xavi's body!
After touching the ball, Qin Xiong turned directly from the right side, bypassed Xavi's body, and turned forward!
The football was on the left side, and Qin Xiong was on the right side.
Xavi's thoughts might have only been in a mess for 0.1 seconds.
Because Qin Xiong did not stop the ball at all!
The ball passed by his back!
It was done in one go!
He missed the chance to foul.
Qin Xiong had already brushed past him, and behind Xavi, there was a large open space for Qin Xiong to gallop!
When Xavi turned around, he already realized that an unscrupulous devil dragon would invade and trample the heart of Barcelona!
Qin Xiong, who was chasing after the wind and waves, dribbled the football as fast as lightning. Ronaldinho, who was in Real Madrid's half of the field, looked at the back of that figure in a trance. It was as if he saw himself in this stadium a year ago!
Barcelona's defensive line collectively sounded the alarm. At first, the four defenders were collectively retreating. Later, it became Puyol and Thuram retreating together, sandwiching van Nistelrooy to avoid being hit from behind.
Zambrotta saw that Qin Xiong's speed was too fast. He had to do something to contain and delay him to prevent Qin Xiong from directly collapsing Barcelona's defensive line during his advance.
When the two center backs had not returned to the key positions in the penalty area, if Qin Xiong was at the gate, then the choice between van Nistelrooy and Qin Xiong would be a gamble of life and death!
Zambrotta slashed diagonally, and Qin Xiong's face did not change. When the two players were two meters away from the intersection, Qin Xiong did not slow down but passed the ball horizontally, and then let Zambrotta pounce on nothing.
Zambrotta turned his head and saw that Raúl kept the ball and stuffed the ball diagonally behind him. He did not need to turn around to realize that Qin Xiong and Raúl had completed a one-two pass!
Yes, Qin Xiong did not slow down his advance. After cooperating with his teammates, he had come to the front of the penalty area. Qin Xiong came one step later, but he was obviously slow and could not interfere with Qin Xiong. At this time, Thuram or Puyol had to come up to intercept Qin Xiong. Otherwise, Qin Xiong might raise his leg to shoot.
It was Thuram who moved. Just as he moved forward, van Nistelrooy also moved. The two men were opponents, but they were both grasping each other's timing.
Van Nistelrooy ran to Thuram's original position, and Puyol was one step behind to keep up. At this time, Qin Xiong also moved, and his feet went straight!
The football rolled behind Thuram, and van Nistelrooy took the opportunity to lead the ball directly to Valdés!
Valdés had abandoned the goal at the moment Qin Xiong passed the ball. At this time, he was very close to van Nistelrooy. Van Nistelrooy directly kicked the goal, and Valdés subconsciously opened his arms to block. He won the bet!
His left arm blocked the football, and the football was swatted out!
There was a huge sigh from Bernabéu, and van Nistelrooy held his head in disbelief.
But in the next second, van Nistelrooy immediately put down his hands and ran back to stand parallel to Puyol because the attack was not over!
The football that Valdés had pounced on fell at Qin Xiong's feet again. Qin Xiong used his thigh to cushion the falling football, and after unloading the force, he controlled the football under his feet.
Zambrotta, Silvinho, Xavi behind him, and Thuram, who rushed up, the four men together wanted to encircle Qin Xiong. Thuram was ready to use his body to block Qin Xiong's shooting angle.
Puyol could not help but grab van Nistelrooy's jersey with his hand.
Qin Xiong swung his leg to shoot, but the corner of his eyes was observing the situation around him. At the critical moment, the crowd came to encircle him aggressively.
The corner of Qin Xiong's mouth raised into a devilish smile.
The Lord of the Rings, it's time to make a contribution!
Qin Xiong's foot came into contact with the football, but there was no earth-shattering shot or spirited lob shot as expected. The football rolled between Thuram and Zambrotta, and it was not fast!
The four men who sandwiched Qin Xiong turned their heads together and looked along the rolling path of the football. They were shocked to see a flash of white, more dazzling than snow!
Bernabéu's Lord of the Rings, captain Raúl, cut into the penalty area unmarked. After taking the ball, he went alone. Valdés had just made a save. His subconscious decision to block the near corner of the goal forced him to go forward and play one-on-one with Raúl.
But Raúl did not intend to pass the goalkeeper again. The middle of the goal and the far corner were wide open.
Raúl steadily pushed the ball into the goal!
The sudden burst of cheers from Bernabéu shook all directions!
Raúl ran to the sidelines after the goal, followed closely by van Nistelrooy and Qin Xiong. With ecstatic expressions, they waved their arms with Raúl to show their will to the stands!
"Raúl! Raúl scored Real Madrid's second goal! An assist from Qin Xiong!
Capello's tactical arrangement in this game was very successful!
Real Madrid relied on quick counterattacks to make a lot of threatening attacks in the first half. Barcelona's substitution in the second half was obviously problematic!
What was Rijkaard thinking?
Was the threat that Qin Xiong showed in the midfield not enough to make Barcelona wary?
Did he forget who knocked him down into the abyss when he was at his proudest?
I'm talking about the Champions League final a few months ago. Arsenal defeated Barcelona with defensive counterattacks. Today, Real Madrid also used defensive counterattacks to make Barcelona suffer!
Clearly, the middle could not restrict Qin Xiong. After Deco was injured, Rijkaard did not strengthen the midfield defense. Instead, he strengthened the offense. Yes, he had ten thousand reasons to do so. Barcelona needed to score!
But before they could solve the midfield defense and restrict Qin Xiong's play, Barcelona's goal was just a dream.
Did you see what Qin Xiong did?
He easily passed Xavi with his eyes closed, and then simply combined with Raúl in front of the penalty area to create a great chance for van Nistelrooy to score. Van Nistelrooy should have seized the opportunity, but Valdés said no to him!
Unfortunately, the rebounded football was controlled by Qin Xiong. What did we see?
Qin Xiong, who was so calm that it made people's hair stand on end, deceived the whole world!
Everyone thought that he would take advantage of Valdés's delay in returning to the front of the goal line to shoot, but he passed the ball to Raúl through the gap.
It gave Raúl a better chance to shoot than him.
Recently, Raúl's recovery is obvious. It's as if the best Raúl has returned. He scored in the El Clásico!
Real Madrid leads Barcelona by 2: 0. Will this be a game where Real Madrid get revenge? "
