In the second half, the two sides switched sides and fought again.
At the start of the second half of the game, Real Madrid also encountered an unexpected situation.
Van Nistelrooy was injured by Ayala when he stopped the ball and turned to receive Raúl's pass in front of the penalty area.
The Valencia fans at the Mestalla Stadium finally found some psychological balance.
Capello sighed helplessly on the sidelines.
He glanced back at the substitutes' bench and called Ronaldo up to quickly warm up.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Ronaldo came on.
Qin Xiong felt a little helpless about this situation. Ronaldo had not played in matches for a long time, and he rarely cooperated with him. He also had to break in with his teammates during matches. This was a reality that made him feel helpless, but he could only face.
The good thing was that Ronaldo was also full of energy and enthusiasm!
In the 57th minute of the game, after Qin Xiong came to the left side, he changed his usual style of dribbling in front of the penalty area. He dribbled directly at the front waistline. Baraja was retreating and did not expect Qin Xiong to do this. He actually let Qin Xiong dribble past in front of him. The other defensive midfielder, Paliardo, immediately rushed towards Qin Xiong.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Xiong directly changed direction to walk in a straight line, pressed in front of the penalty area, and then sent out a diagonal straight ball in one go.
The football rolled between Ayala and Albiol and diagonally behind Ayala. Ronaldo successfully reversed the offside position. Canizares expanded his defensive area and ran in Ronaldo's direction. Ronaldo did not hesitate to choose to shoot directly.
The football flew in an arc to the far corner of the goal. Canizares was powerless to reverse the situation.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the football. After the football landed and brushed the outside of the goalpost and flew out of the end line, the Valencia people breathed a sigh of relief. The Real Madrid fans sighed unwillingly.
A trace of regret flashed across Ronaldo's face, but he was not discouraged. He looked back at Qin Xiong, his eyes full of affirmation and a trace of apology.
After Valencia made adjustments in the midfield, it was difficult for them to make any positive changes in their offense due to their tight formation. Their offense was still mainly based on long shots, which did not pose much of a threat.
In the 64th minute of the game, Salgado assisted from the right flank. Qin Xiong slowly dribbled the ball in the middle. After noticing that Salgado had overtaken Robinho, he decisively sent out a diagonal straight ball. The football rolled past Torres and flew straight to the end line. Salgado passed the ball diagonally to the back in front of the end line. Robinho, who cut inside, stopped and dribbled past Albior's defensive zone. Diagonally facing the goal, he directly chose to shoot.
Once again, Canizares bravely saved Real Madrid's shot!
Robinho hugged his head in disappointment, finding it unbelievable!
"Canizares has saved Valencia once again! Real Madrid's offense is becoming more and more threatening, but they are still unable to break through Canizares's ten fingers! "
After another five minutes, Qin Xiong and Robinho switched positions to the right flank. He raised his leg at a 45-degree angle to cross the ball. The football went in a big arc and landed at the back of the goal. Raúl did not wait for the football to hit the ground before he shot a volley into the air.
Canizares made a contribution again! He used his right palm to block Raúl's volley out of the goal. It looked like a subconscious move, but he was able to protect the goal as if he was possessed by a god!
Capello showed signs of going crazy on the sidelines!
Once, twice, thrice. Valencia really seemed to have a bat guardian angel protecting them!
But Qin Xiong did not believe it!
In the 71st minute of the game, he went to the right flank again and made a one-two pass with Robinho on the right flank. He dribbled the ball to the end line and turned into the penalty area.
At this time, Valencia's defensive line was almost stuck to the front of the goal. The defensive midfielder, Pagliardo, rushed at full speed to intercept Qin Xiong, while Baraja and the defensive line pincered Raúl, who had rushed to the goal.
Qin Xiong judged the situation and passed the ball diagonally to the penalty spot in the penalty area.
Ronaldo, who was looking for an opportunity while running, touched the ball before Baraja. He did not choose to shoot. Instead, he moved the ball sideways. This way, he had more space to shoot.
At this time, Ronaldo raised his leg to shoot again. He calmly pushed the ball through the crowd into the lower right corner of the goal!
Seeing the goal fall, the Valencia players were full of unwillingness. The boos in the Mestalla Stadium disappeared, and the Valencia people were immersed in a huge loss.
In the end, they still could not stop Real Madrid's crazy offensive!
Ronaldo showed a long-lost smile after scoring the goal. He ran happily and did not forget to turn back and point to Qin Xiong to thank him for the assist!
"Real Madrid finally broke the deadlock on the field! Qin Xiong calmly assisted Ronaldo after cutting into the end line from the flank. Ronaldo did not choose to shoot hard when he shot. He also calmly chose the angle. He accurately sent the ball into the lower right corner of the goal. It was a dead corner, and it was also an angle that made Valencia despair!
Valencia is behind 0: 1 at home to the visiting Real Madrid! "
Valencia's young manager, Flores, secretly clenched his fists. He looked expressionless, as if he was already aware of the team's goal concede.
But outsiders did not know how much pain he was in!
He clenched his fists so tightly that his fingers almost pierced into the flesh of his palms!
He wanted revenge on Real Madrid!
He wanted to take revenge on Capello!
Instead of giving away three points at home and letting Real Madrid win the game and take away the victory!
This was even more unbearable than killing him!
So, with the team behind, the young manager, Flores, waved his big hand and ordered the team to press on and attack regardless of the consequences!
The bat squad showed a crazy side.
Real Madrid's rear defensive line, which had not been under huge pressure for a long time since the second half, also panicked.
Angulo, Vicente, Joaquin, Balaje, and Silva, five players took turns to plug in from behind.
Perhaps it was because Valencia did not have an official center forward on the field that Real Madrid's defenders did not know who to focus on!
In the 77th minute of the game, the full back, Miguel, moved the ball forward from the right flank. He passed the ball diagonally to Silva in the middle. The young Spanish midfielder showed his sharp organizational ability.
When Qin Xiong was about to press him from behind, he did not hesitate to pass the ball diagonally to the flank.
Salgado saw that there was both Vicente and Angulo in front of him, and he wavered in his marking.
Vicente covered for Angulo. He missed the ball, and Angulo took a step forward closer to the flank. After playing deep, he passed the ball across. When Salgado turned around, he saw that Vicente had shaken him off and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
Vicente swept the ball towards the back of the goal near the end line. The player who followed up at the back was Joaquin. Unfortunately, he could not touch the ball in Cannavaro's blocking position!
When the football rolled past him, Joaquin lost his balance and fell to the ground. The Mestalla Stadium shook the sky. The Valencia players were asking the referee for a penalty kick!
But the referee did not say anything!
