The impact of the El Clásico continued.
Because it was an extraordinary game in itself.
Real Madrid defeated Barcelona by 3: 0, ending Barcelona's unbeaten record in the new season. At the same time, it was Capello's 29th unbeaten home game as coach of Real Madrid.
The result was 23 wins and 6 draws, which was a respectable figure.
AS believed that Real Madrid won on two key factors. One was the team's proper tactics, and the other was the players' fighting spirit. Real Madrid, led by the talented Qin Xiong, defeated Barça with the authority and attitude of football. The performance of Rijkaard's team was disappointing, and the Real Madrid fans enjoyed joy at the Bernabéu stadium that they had not enjoyed for a long time. Some people said that football was a competition of morale, and tonight's game between Real Madrid and Barça was the best example. In the last round of the league tournament, Real Madrid was like a victim. The team was in a deep crisis with no possibility of improvement. But now, it was Barça who encountered problems. This was football. Maybe after the next round of the game, the situation of the two teams would be reversed again.
El Mundo believed that Real Madrid won not just one game. Capello's team not only regained their confidence, but also threw the burden of the problem to their league rivals. The resurrection of Bucharest caught the most luxurious victim. Real Madrid defended themselves with defensive counterattacks. They pushed down Barça, who repeated the mistakes of the game against Chelsea. Barça had too many brushes, but lacked a hammer. Messi's solo dance was not enough on a night when Gudjohnsen and Ronaldinho were obliterated. Barça missed Eto 'o like crazy. If Valdés had not saved a few beautiful shots from Real Madrid, Barça would have been punished even more. But Capello's team looked like they had seven lives. As long as they played at a normal level, Real Madrid would be a strong contender for the title.
El Mundo said that Barça's start was really bad. The defender's negligence in the third minute allowed Qin Xiong to score, which also caused Barça to fall into a passive position. After that, although Barça had control of the ball, Real Madrid relied on simple and clear football to create a lot of threats to Barça. Gudjohnsen originally had a chance to equalize the score, but the Icelander inconceivably missed the ball. At the start of the second half, Real Madrid used a quick counterattack to succeed. Real Madrid finally took three points in the El Clásico. It was the first time Barça had lost a league game and could only return to Condal Sports City empty-handed.
Mundo Deportivo described Barça as having "hit a wall" at the Bernabéu stadium. Rijkaard's team had conceded goals at the beginning of both halves of the game, and they had also wasted several good scoring opportunities in the game. How could they not lose such a game? Barça had paid a high price for their two poor starts, and when the team played at its best, the attacking players lacked the ability to deliver a fatal blow.
In addition to the overall performance of the two teams, the individual performances of the players also became the focus.
Qin Xiong's fame had spread all over the world after this game. Many mainstream European media repeatedly played videos of his goals, and he had become the leader of Real Madrid's new era by everyone's tacit agreement!
Perhaps only North London's Arsenal fans would be a little distressed after seeing Qin Xiong's transfer to Real Madrid.
To this day, there were still many Arsenal fans who thought that the club had made a huge mistake by letting Qin Xiong go.
Of course, it was not to overturn the previous position that everyone thought that Qin Xiong could not override Qin Xiong's position. It was just that everyone felt that Arsenal had sold Qin Xiong for 20 million euros. In fact, it was a loss. Even if they kept Qin Xiong for a year and let Qin Xiong leave on a free transfer in the summer of 2007, Arsenal fans seemed to think that it was not bad. At least it would not allow the Double of the Premier League and Champions League champions to decline so dramatically after reaching the peak of their achievements.
Raúl, who was also a winner, also became the focus of attention.
AS, which had previously criticized Raúl, also changed its position.
Raúl: "The Bear" has become a hero!
After losing the game against Getafe, Raúl's mood fell to the bottom. He even had the thought of leaving the team. Calderón revealed, "It was after that unforgivable defeat that Raúl told me that he was in so much pain that he could not sleep. He said that if the situation continued like this and did not improve, he would rather leave the club so that the team could at least be relieved of his heavy salary burden. "
It was after making this determination to cut off all means of retreat that Raúl's condition actually rebounded sharply and reached the peak of his 12-year career. From September 28 against Kyiv Dynamo, then against Atlético Madrid, Steaua, and then against Barça on October 22, Raúl broke his personal record of continuously scoring goals. There had never been a situation like this season where he scored five goals in four consecutive games.
From the bottom of the valley to the peak, Raúl only took 10 days!
This was Raúl's accumulation after such a long period of dormancy. It was also the accumulation of trust and affection from several managers.
Capello, as the last manager to awaken the "Lord of the Rings," could finally laugh at those who endlessly accused him of being superstitious about Raúl. This especially made Aragones, who had removed Raúl from the national team, lose face.
Real Madrid's attitude towards Raúl had also undergone a 180-degree change. The powers-that-be were not considering who to sell Raúl to, but how to stand up for Raúl.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that Spain would use the Bernabéu stadium to face Denmark on March 24, 2007, the most crucial game of the 2008 UEFA European Championship qualifiers, Real Madrid requested that Raúl be reinstated into the national team.
"We are trying to make all this a reality. If it goes well, Raúl should return in this game. If the national team does not agree to our request, then we will not let them use the Bernabéu as their home ground. "
Raúl's best partner finally appeared next to him, and that was Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong and Raúl's cooperation had reached a tacit understanding. The two of them were invincible, and it was about to become the scene that the fans were most familiar with!
Beckham also became the focus. He could not not be the focus because he was a superstar, and his career at the Bernabéu had always been a controversial superstar.
Beckham: a substitute turned into an outsider!
Since Capello's arrival, Beckham had completely become a vase on the bench. In the last six games, Beckham sat on the bench for five of them.
For an aggressive player, this was unbearable. The Sun quoted a Real Madrid insider as saying, "David has laid his cards on the table with the club in the past few days. He has lost his feelings for the club. If the coach continues to bench him, he will be very sad and disappointed. Now there is a possibility that if there is a suitable offer in January next year, we will consider it. "
And the price tag that Real Madrid put on Beckham was only five million pounds!
When Real Madrid bought Beckham for 25 million pounds, they would rather sell him at a twenty percent discount than collect this exquisite work of art with a high salary. Of course, this price was quite attractive for the Premier League teams. Newcastle wanted to use Owen's method to buy Beckham and achieve the combination of the two peerless Premier League princes.
Newcastle United's manager, Rodell, said, "Many clubs in the Premier League want to bring in Beckham. He is a great player, and he has had an enviable career. Beckham will not worry about not finding a buyer. "
