During the preparation for the Copa del Rey, Qin Xiong was called to the sidelines by Bosque on the training ground. Bosque had his hands behind his back as he chatted with Qin Xiong.
"Compared to Robinho and Reyes, who do you think works better together?"
Qin Xiong thought about it and said, "I personally think they're all about the same."
Bosque smiled and nodded.
In fact, he now had to make a decision: whether to buy out Reyes or not.
Reyes was on loan from the team. Beckham would definitely leave the team as a winger, leaving only Robinho who belonged to Real Madrid.
After four rounds of the league tournament, Bosque had to take a long-term view. It could be said that he had to consider the construction of the next season and the season after that.
Raúl was sent to the wing by Capello. Bosque did not move for the time being because the team's stability was the priority.
His idea was that Raúl would return to the front line next season.
Van Nistelrooy and Raúl were not young and could not persist in playing on three fronts throughout the season. In order to stimulate the competition and give them some pressure, Bosque wanted to make the front line competitive. That was to say, whoever was in the best form between Raúl and van Nistelrooy would be the starter!
The team's winter addition, Higuaín, was not mature enough to take up the role. He would only get a certain amount of playing time or play when the team changed to a two-striker formation against a less strong opponent.
The problem Real Madrid would face next season was clear at a glance.
They lacked offensive players on the wings.
The shortcut was to buy out Reyes, but Bosque felt that the club might make a formulaic investment in order to attract attention in the transfer market.
For a club like Real Madrid, even if the lineup was perfect, it would definitely make a difference in the transfer market!
Therefore, the seemingly shortcut transfer operation was actually very difficult to implement. It might be difficult for the management to agree.
Of course, Bosque did not think that Reyes was indispensable. He just wanted to see what the team's offensive core thought in this regard. If Qin Xiong said that Reyes was a perfect match for him on the field, then Bosque would at least express his position to the management to buy out Reyes.
It did not seem to be the case now. Bosc and Qin Xiong walked around the training ground.
"The team's attack on the flanks is a little conformist. Do you see it?"
Bosc asked leisurely without any arrogance.
Qin Xiong followed him and said after thinking for a moment, "Yes, one side has the ability to break through dribbling, and the other side has the ability to support or cut inside. If you encounter a top opponent, you can easily be restricted to death."
"Yeah, it's a good thing that we have you in the frontline. You're able to change your role flexibly. I'm very curious. Do you have this kind of innate awareness?"
"No, no, no. When I was at Ajax, Manager Louis Van Gaal instilled this kind of thinking in me. I'm very grateful to him."
"I see."
Bosque and Qin Xiong chatted for a long time. The two would exchange views. This kind of communication made Qin Xiong very comfortable. At least he was respected and not ordered!
Bosque hoped to teach in accordance with the players' aptitudes and maximize the players' strength and characteristics!
It was like planting a tree. The main trunk could not be crooked. Qin Xiong was the main trunk in Real Madrid's offensive philosophy. Then, careful watering and maintenance could make the main trunk grow more branches and make the tree luxuriant.
After being eliminated from the Champions League, Real Madrid's competition schedule for the season was actually not much pressure.
In the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, Real Madrid was the guest to challenge Deportivo La Coruna.
Bosque took out Raúl in this game, which shocked the Spanish media. But in fact, Raúl did not complain because Raúl's appearance rate was very high this season. Sometimes he played because of injury. Perhaps he was too dazzling. Even Capello had to protect and ensure that Raúl would not start a revolution in the locker room.
Bosque did not have such concerns. He knew Raúl better than Capello and was also good at communicating. This made Raúl willing to sit on the bench for the weekend's big game against Valencia.
Van Nistelrooy was the lone striker, and Raúl's position was played by Robinho.
Real Madrid did not play very aggressively in this game, but tactically had the effect of flying on both wings.
Qin Xiong and Guti firmly controlled the midfield and shaped the offensive situation. Reyes and Robinho repeatedly attacked Deportivo La Coruna's defensive line on both wings.
Considering that Deportivo La Coruna wanted to win first at home, they did not put out an iron bucket formation, which gave Real Madrid a better attacking environment.
In the 27th minute of the game, Reyes returned the ball to the triangle in front of the penalty area. Qin Xiong plugged in from the back and dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area and scored a shot.
Before the end of the first half, Robinho cut inside in the middle and changed positions with Qin Xiong. After he passed the ball to Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong knocked the ball back to the middle. Guti plugged in from the back and sent an exquisite straight pass. Real Madrid's offense shifted from the left to the right. Reyes plugged in diagonally into the penalty area and did not stop the ball. He directly volleyed the ball and scored another goal!
In the second half of the game, Real Madrid slowed down the pace of the game because they were worried about a major league game on the weekend.
Deportivo La Coruna was not willing to accept a complete defeat at home. They fought back more aggressively in the middle and front field.
Qin Xiong saw the opportunity in the 68th minute of the game and sent a straight pass over the top in the midfield.
After van Nistelrooy successfully reversed the offside position, he went into the game alone. When the goalkeeper went out, he pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.
3:0
Real Madrid almost locked in the tickets to the Copa del Rey final.
Bosque replaced Qin Xiong after van Nistelrooy's goal, giving Gago a chance to play. Guti was also replaced by Emerson.
Bosque would not issue such an extreme measure as a ban. He wanted to make the best use of everyone's talent. He would give the players a certain amount of time to play when the time was right.
This was to prevent the players from being completely disappointed.
Real Madrid almost penetrated Deportivo La Coruna's goal again at the last minute.
Unfortunately, Robinho's wonderful dribbling breakthrough came to an end with a ridiculous shot.
At the end of the game, the Real Madrid players had smiles on their faces. Everyone high-fived each other in celebration.
The turmoil of the Capello era and the darkness of everyone's fear seemed to have completely passed. Now there was light above Real Madrid's head.
A more shocking game than Real Madrid's three-goal win over Deportivo La Coruna took place at Camp Nou.
Barcelona defeated Getafe 5: 2 in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final at Camp Nou.
Messi's performance in the game shook the world of football!
He replicated Maradona's classic goal performance in the World Cup by bypassing five players in a row!
If the story of the Reign of Chaos at Bernabéu ran through the season.
Then at Camp Nou, it was a drama of the king's scepter changing hands.
Ronaldinho's imperial star suddenly dimmed. The new king, Messi, was climbing step by step to the throne!
