Today's update!
-----
Valencia's adjusted defensive strategy in the second half was to shrink the penalty area and squeeze out the attacking space in the dangerous zone to avoid Real Madrid's delicate passing and cutting.
So, when Qin Xiong retreated to provide support, Valencia's defensive line and defensive midfielders saw it. Everyone knew it would not work!
Robinho and Beckham had not yet reached the dangerous attacking zone along the flank to assist.
What would Qin Xiong do with the ball?
Stop the ball and control it himself?
Long shot? Pass the ball to the flank?
Qin Xiong had too many choices. If they could only watch from afar and could not restrict him, it made all Valencia's defensive players unsure.
So, everyone subconsciously pushed outwards, intending to curb Qin Xiong's play.
Qin Xiong looked back before he touched the ball. He saw the Valencia's defensive line moving outwards, and then he glanced at Raúl casually.
Raúl also looked at Qin Xiong. At this moment, the two superstars seemed to have read each other's eyes.
The football rolled in front of Qin Xiong. He turned sideways slightly and used his left foot to kick the ball back. It seemed casual, but it made the Valencia players scared out of their wits!
As the defensive line moved outwards, Raúl ran in the opposite direction of offside. The football flew over the defenders' heads. They turned their heads to look and saw that Raúl seemed to be in the offside trap. But the assistant referee did not say anything. He was not offside!
Raúl faced the falling football and swung his leg for a volley!
He deliberately lowered the football and shot a shot at the ball.
Although Canizares predicted the right direction, his hand could not reach the football after it bounced off the ground and flew up by a large margin!
The football flew into Valencia's goal with a shocking power and beauty!
Deafening applause and cheers rang out at the Bernabéu.
Raúl began to celebrate his goal with a proud smile.
"Raúl scored a brace! Although the goal was easy, it was not simple. Qin Xiong easily sent a one-handed ball to Raúl in a leisurely manner. Raúl confidently did not stop the ball and volleyed to break through Canizares's ten fingers!
3: 1, Real Madrid has extended their lead to two goals! "
Bosque sat in the technical area with a hearty smile on his face.
What he did today was just an attempt.
The game had gone better than he expected.
Although Qin Xiong had outstanding organizational talent, it could even be said that placing Qin Xiong in a non-absolute defensive position in the midfield could achieve a very good effect. Even if it was to delay the organization, Bosque firmly believed that Qin Xiong could do no less than Pirlo.
But why not try to push Qin Xiong into a more aggressive position?
Closer to the front line.
In a critical moment, it actually took less than a second for the offense to handle the ball!
And the decisions made by the players in this second, as well as the effects of the execution, were actually very important in creating goals!
Qin Xiong's decisiveness in handling the ball and his ability to judge the situation had left a deep impression on Bosque. He wanted to see if the midfield superstar, who had been good at scoring and assisting for the past three years, could play better in the shadow forward position.
Now it seemed that he was right!
If an ordinary star player could simply do a good job of organizing, it was already very impressive.
But for Qin Xiong, he could create goals. His contribution to goals was far more than organizing the offense.
Combined with Real Madrid's own football philosophy, their offensive ability was actually very strong. What they lacked was fluidity and a clear team offensive and defensive system.
On this basis, if Qin Xiong was only placed in the midfield area, it would be a waste of his talent!
Although Bosque could not say that the 60-minute game would make him draw a conclusion, a new idea was born in his mind.
Real Madrid already had a kind of potential because of the existing players, especially Qin Xiong's existence.
A kind of potential to pursue an offensive ability that was above the whole of Europe and even the whole world of football!
The Valencia players were hurt!
Especially Villa, who seemed to have the helplessness of wanting to kill the thief but not being able to reverse the situation!
He had just helped the team get a goal back, and Real Madrid immediately changed the score.
Such a situation discouraged the whole Valencia team. Coupled with the recent elimination from the Champions League, Valencia's spirit suffered a huge blow!
The young manager, Flores, also seemed to be at a loss. He knew that his midfield adjustment only worked for a little more than ten minutes before it was completely subverted by Real Madrid. He was also very hurt. Perhaps this was the power of a superstar. Sorry, Valencia did not have a superstar!
Step by step, using theory to compete with a group of superstars full of incredible halos?
Even the most conservative Italian academic managers would not think that this was feasible.
Real Madrid continued to attack, while Valencia's entire team posture became slightly more conservative and adopted foul tactics.
At this time, Bosque discovered that there were still some small problems with the offensive concept he had envisioned.
Qin Xiong was in a dangerous zone, so Qin Xiong was easier to be violated by the opponent because the space was small.
It was undeniable that Qin Xiong had the ability to escape in a small area, but it also gave the opponent more convenient opportunities to foul.
If it was in a wider space in the midfield, Qin Xiong could make a lot of choices. But in a dangerous zone, especially when he was surrounded by layers of opponents, he might be violated by the opponent as soon as he touched the ball before he could make the next move!
Bosque shook his head slightly.
Look, this was the gap between theory and reality.
No manager would actively incorporate foul tactics into an ideal tactical design. Foul tactics were all choices made because of the situation or because they were forced to.
Qin Xiong was continuously violated by Albiol, Albelda, and other players. Real Madrid's offense reached the dangerous zone, but it was more often destroyed by the opponent with fouls, which delayed the time and made Real Madrid's offense unable to flow smoothly.
Boos for Valencia rang out in the Bernabéu stands, and the game seemed to gradually have the smell of gunpowder.
Qin Xiong's free kick footwork was very unreliable today. He shot three times in a row and did not hit the goal range, which made him decide not to take a direct free kick today.
In the 81st minute of the game, Albiol received a second yellow card for a foul on Qin Xiong and was sent off. Although Real Madrid played one more player after that, Valencia's young manager Flores made a substitution and devoted more to defense. Real Madrid could not score in the remaining time.
The final result of the game was 3: 1.
Real Madrid's fifth consecutive league victory!
"The game is over. Congratulations to Real Madrid for winning the key battle at the Bernabéu. After defeating Valencia 3: 1, Real Madrid extended their lead over Barcelona to five points because Barcelona lost 0: 2 in the game at El Madrigal!
There are seven rounds left in the league, and it looks like Barcelona's rule is about to be overthrown by Real Madrid! "
