The Bernabéu was in an uproar, and the Real Madrid fans looked at the score of 1: 0 on the scoreboard happily, looking forward to the imminent arrival of the fifth victory in the league tournament.
On the green field, Real Madrid continued to attack Valencia relentlessly.
In the 37th minute of the game, Guti went to the front field to participate in the attack, and Carlos dribbled the ball from the side to advance to the front field.
Carlos passed the ball straight to the front line, and Qin Xiong, as the shadow striker, directly used his back heel to pass the ball to Guti, who followed up from behind. Guti did not stop the ball and passed it diagonally, and the ball reached Robinho's feet again.
Robinho pushed it horizontally and stuffed it again. Qin Xiong reversed his offside position and inserted diagonally into the empty space on the flank of the penalty area. He rushed behind Ayala to take the ball and took another step in the direction of the end line. Then he followed up with a flowery pass!
It was still his left foot supporting him, and his right foot went around the outside of his left foot to scoop the football up.
Real Madrid's offensive coordination and Qin Xiong's individual pass were all done in one go.
Valencia's defensive line was dazzled and could not react.
Qin Xiong's pass flew to the front of the goal, and Raúl beat Moretti to a header. It was less than ten yards away from the goalkeeper, Cañizares. Cañizares was powerless this time.
A miracle did not happen.
The football flew directly from the left side of Cañizares' body into the goal!
Raúl rushed to Qin Xiong after breaking the goal. The two men hugged each other passionately, and then laughed heartily!
This might be the kind of offense and attitude that Real Madrid should have, which they were pursuing!
"Real Madrid widened their lead! Carlos, Guti, Robinho, Qin Xiong, Raúl, they composed a beautiful green melody. The passing coordination was fast and smooth. Qin Xiong's pass was both right and unexpected, and he also showed off his footwork. This should be included in the essence of his individual performance. Raúl's header in the middle to break the goal also showed his nose in front of goal. After Qin Xiong joined Real Madrid this season, the outside world generally believed that he had revived Raúl and restored the former genius killer to his true colors. Although there is still a certain distance from the peak, seeing Raúl continue to score goals, the fans who like Raúl must be happy from the bottom of their hearts. "
Valencia was helpless in the situation of being two goals behind. Real Madrid's offensive configuration was too strong!
In fact, the lineup of the past three years looked stronger, but it was just a scattered individual, especially the running ability of the whole team was not strong. Often, the superstars were waiting for their teammates to serve them.
But now Real Madrid had produced an overall team chemistry, which was the most frightening point.
Because you could not quantify how much such a change would increase the combat effectiveness. Just like some small teams, once a mid-tier team could be twisted into a rope and produce a team chemistry, the energy that erupted was enough to shock the eyes!
Not to mention a top team with a good configuration.
At the end of the first half of the game, Valencia came to the end with their full defense.
Although the young commander Flores did not have Capello's master-disciple grudge to influence his thinking, the belief to defeat Real Madrid naturally existed.
He needed to think of a way to contain Real Madrid.
Back in the locker room, Bosque praised the team's performance and then continued to adjust the offense. He hoped that Beckham could be more active and not give up trying to create opportunities on the right because the team mainly focused on the left side.
Beckham gladly accepted the order. The whole Real Madrid team was in good spirits. It was not unexpected to be able to lead by two goals in this focal battle. They had the confidence to crush their opponents.
Valencia's side was in both defense and offense. The young commander Flores had put in a lot of effort.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Qin Xiong was the first to notice the change in Valencia's defense.
They gave up on the outside defense and turned to compressing the space in the penalty area.
Albiol acted as a sweeper. It looked like Flores wanted to eliminate the possibility of Real Madrid stirring up trouble in Valencia's penalty area.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Robinho failed to force a breakthrough into the penalty area. Valencia saw the opportunity and immediately launched a counterattack. Albelda passed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area where Joaquin was on the right flank. Joaquin used his personal dribbling speed to quickly advance the offense.
At a 45-degree position on the flank, Joaquin decisively raised his leg to pass the ball. Morientes headed the ball back to the middle from outside the penalty area. Silva, who did not hold onto the flank, suddenly appeared in the middle of the front field. After receiving Morientes' return ball, he sent a wonderful straight pass!
Villa rushed past Cannavaro's side. Cannavaro had to admit that he was old. After he turned around, Villa not only rushed behind him, but also robbed him of the straight line of his retreat!
The ball that Silva sent out rolled straight to Villa's feet. He did not stop the ball and directly shot out a powerful volley!
This ball did not give Casillas a chance to perform. He did not even react. He just took a step back, as if he was shocked by Villa's momentum!
The football went into the net!
"Valencia gets a goal back! A classic quick counterattack. The ball goes from the backfield to the flank. Joaquin pushed the attack and passed the ball. Morientes played the role of the fulcrum. We have to praise Silva's running and threatening ability to pass the ball. He unexpectedly came to the middle and then sent a fatal straight pass! Villa has completely defeated Cannavaro and Casillas. Beautifully volleyed and neatly sent the ball into the goal! "
After Villa scored the goal, he burst into a roar, as if declaring Valencia's fighting spirit to not admit defeat!
Real Madrid, on the other hand, were used to it.
If one day their defense was unbreakable, that would be a really strange phenomenon.
It could be said that in the face of an opponent of Valencia's level, it was normal to concede a goal. Of course, this was referring to Real Madrid.
The game restarted. Valencia just got a goal back. Their morale was boosted and they continued to incite a frenzied attack.
In the 58th minute of the game, Silva planned to pass the ball to Albelda, who came up to assist after pushing the attack from the flank.
Silva might be better at reading the overall situation of the game than his other teammates. He knew that Valencia could not defeat Real Madrid by only relying on the two wings. They had to combine the sides and the center. The goal just now was created because he connected better with the attacking group in the middle.
Now that he was on the flank, he naturally needed someone to support him in the middle. It was reasonable for Albelda to assist him.
But just before Albelda was about to touch the ball, someone beat him to a flying tackle and kick the ball to Diarra.
Guti!
He made a key defense. Not only did he curb Valencia's attack, but he also gave Real Madrid a good opportunity to attack quickly!
Diarra did not stop the ball. Instead, he kicked the ball directly to the middle of the front field.
Valencia's attacking players in the front field looked back and saw that the player waiting to receive Diarra's pass was Qin Xiong. Suddenly, everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts!
