Perhaps because Valencia was led by the caretaker manager, their formation was more conventional. After Real Madrid won 10 consecutive games in all competitions, only one of the four opponents adopted a two-striker formation. The other three opponents would only use a one-striker formation to strengthen the defense in the middle and backfield.
Real Madrid had beaten many opponents and made the opponents fearful. Tactically unable to restrain Real Madrid's attack, they could only use the most primitive and simple method: increase the number of defenders.
Valencia's situation also reflected a phenomenon that existed in the football world.
That was, there were often good steeds, but Bo Le was rare.
Valencia had been looking for a good offensive playmaker all summer, and as a result, the team's David Silva went up to the front line to play as a shadow forward.
If Flores could get David Silva to withdraw from his position to play as a midfield playmaker, Valencia's organizational problems might be easily solved.
Valencia's fighting power plummeted in the Mestalla because of the lack of contribution from the front line. The deep-seated reason behind it was the poor organization in the midfield. Now that they had encountered the terrifying Real Madrid, after their momentum weakened a little, they fell into a complete passive position at home.
As soon as the game started, Real Madrid's attack hit Valencia's defensive line like a tide.
In the fourth minute of the game, Robinho charged into the penalty area after dunking past Miguel on the flank. He passed the ball diagonally in front of Albiol near the penalty spot in the penalty area. Qin Xiong rushed over and lifted his leg to volley.
Bang!
The football was blocked by a leg. Helgua slid and blocked Qin Xiong's shot head-on.
Seeing that the football was blocked out of the end line, Qin Xiong reached out to pull his teammate from last season, Helgua, up from the ground.
Perhaps it was because they had fought side by side in the past, the experienced Helgua's prediction of Real Madrid's attack was more accurate.
In the seventh minute of the game, Qin Xiong slanted behind Albelda to receive Guti's straight pass and forcefully broke through Albiol. Just as he was about to successfully break through from Albiol's side, Qin Xiong suddenly stopped and pulled the ball back. Then, he passed the ball to Raúl.
Raúl had just stopped the ball when Helguera, who was behind him, came up to interfere with Raúl's adjustment. Raúl barely managed to turn half way and shoot the ball wide.
Three minutes later, the Snede kicked the ball at a 45-degree angle from the flank. The football circled to the back of the penalty area. Qin Xiong ran inside and prepared to head the ball. Helguera rushed over and headed the ball out of the sideline.
Ten minutes after the start of the game, the busiest player on the field was Helguera!
He frequently came to the rescue and often appeared at key defensive points.
However, the Real Madrid players did not panic at all. Qin Xiong was even looking forward to something.
It was not surprising that the former royal guard with a sword had such a performance.
If he had not reached the end of his career, Helguera would have enough standard to play for any team on the planet and be the main force.
In the fourteenth minute of the game, Guti and Snede cooperated in the left area of the front field. Qin Xiong suddenly ran from Albelda's side to the right area in front of the penalty area. Helguera watched the tendency of Real Madrid's attacking players with concentration. After seeing Qin Xiong's running position, he expected Real Madrid to change the direction of their attack and catch Valencia off guard.
When the Snede passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong, Helguera quickly moved to the area in front of Qin Xiong to assist in the defense.
Qin Xiong also observed Helguera's running position before he touched the ball. After seeing Helguera's running position, the corner of his mouth raised a slight smile.
The movement of running to the right front came to an abrupt end. Qin Xiong came to a sudden stop and gently kicked the ball to Raúl, who had his back against Albiol. Then, he turned to run in the opposite direction and rushed to the defensive area where Helguera was originally located!
Helguera suddenly felt that something was wrong!
When he came to a sudden stop to explode and relied on his physical state and ability, he was no longer young and naturally could not be compared to Qin Xiong.
At that moment, he could predict the development of Real Madrid's next attack, but he could only brace himself to block Raúl's passing route!
But the gap was still too big!
When he rushed to Raúl and Raúl did not hesitate to pass the ball diagonally behind Helguera, Helguera had no choice but to turn around to look.
Sure enough, Qin Xiong successfully received Raúl's diagonal pass and formed a one-on-one ball in the area he was originally supposed to guard!
Hildebrand quickly abandoned the goal and rushed out. Helguera did not chase after Qin Xiong. Instead, he retreated in a straight line to block the goal, which was bound to cause some interference to Qin Xiong's choice of shooting.
When Hildebrand rushed in front of him, Qin Xiong pretended to raise his leg to shoot. Hildebrand lowered his center of gravity and made a blocking action. But the moment he saw Qin Xiong's right foot land, he did not have the awareness to receive the shot!
A fake shot!
Qin Xiong's right foot hooked the ball past Hildebrand's side!
When Hildebrand turned around to pounce on the ball, it was already too late. Qin Xiong dodged his arm and continued to move forward to control the ball. Hildebrand gritted his teeth and struggled for a while. He gave up the risk of making a second save that could get him sent off with a red card. It was impossible for him to touch the football. He could only touch Qin Xiong's leg.
Helguera had rushed back to the front of the goal line, but the goal was too big. Although Qin Xiong's shooting angle was small, it was already unimpeded.
Just as Helgua took a step towards the goalpost, Qin Xiong leisurely took a shot and sent the ball into the goal from the near corner!
The Mestalla Stadium was completely silent.
It was as if there was a helpless sigh in the stadium!
Real Madrid's goal in the turbulent Valencia seemed to have been accepted by the fans before the game.
"The ball is in! Qin Xiong opens the scoring for Real Madrid!
Valencia's recent form is really problematic. Real Madrid can easily push their offense into the dangerous zone. In front of the penalty area, Qin Xiong and Raúl's combination against the wall seemed to be completed without any pressure. The wonderful thing is that Qin Xiong calmly dribbled the ball past the goalkeeper, Hildebrand, and then successfully pushed the ball into the empty goal.
This is Valencia that has disappointed us. They obviously did not play to the level that people expected of them.
Hopefully this goal concede will wake Valencia from their muddleheaded state and fight bravely against Real Madrid! "
Perhaps the new season's form was too crazy. The team had been in the rhythm of the carnival of victory. After Qin Xiong scored the goal, Robinho ran in front of him and twisted his body to dance the samba with him. Qin Xiong took the initiative to cooperate and dance with Robinho's dance steps.
The Real Madrid fans were happy to see such a scene.
After dancing for a while, the Real Madrid players hugged together to show their unity to the outside world!
