Estadio Pizjuán.
Sevilla launched a frenzy of fouls and tackles from the start of the game. The already dense defensive zone made it even more difficult for Real Madrid to move forward.
Qin Xiong took the initiative to move to the left flank in the fourth minute of the game. Real Madrid's offensive coordination in the front field had to be faster when the opponent adopted such a tactic. It was necessary to kick the ball out to avoid being entangled by the opponent in close range and aggressively tackle the ball to block it.
Snede received Marcelo's diagonal pass and knocked the ball to Qin Xiong on the flank. Qin Xiong cut inside horizontally in front of Alves and the sudden burst of power made Alves unable to keep up. Qin Xiong was at the top corner of the penalty area and did not wait for Keita to get close before he kicked the ball and shot!
The football flew in an arc to the far post of the goal. The fans in the stands stared intently at the trajectory of the football's flight. The Sevilla fans were particularly worried.
Dang!
A faint sound entered the ears of the goalkeeper, Palop, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The football hit the outside of the goalpost and bounced out of the end line!
There was a huge exclamation at Estadio Pizjuán.
"Real Madrid almost penetrated Sevilla's goal. Qin Xiong's clever shot from the edge of the penalty area missed the goal by a hair's breadth."
The Sevilla players had a lingering fear. They looked at Qin Xiong and sighed that they had survived a great disaster!
Three minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback. Snede tried to pass the ball to Raúl outside the penalty area. Raúl lost the scramble with Facio and the football bounced out of the penalty area and was controlled by Keita.
Keita saw Qin Xiong run frantically to press and immediately passed the ball to Alves on the flank. The latter did not stop the ball and made a straight pass. The football quickly rolled to the feet of Navas in the midfield.
After Navas stopped the ball, he turned around and immediately started to explode. His dribbling speed was amazing!
Diarra, who wanted to help defend the flanks, changed his mind after taking two steps. He retreated back to the danger zone of the penalty area to help defend. It was not realistic for him to rush to the flanks to help defend because Navas was too fast!
Navas directly kicked the ball behind Marcelo in the face of Marcelo's impetuous scramble. Then, he accelerated past Marcelo and easily broke through Marcelo!
Although Navas's dribbling ability was very strong, his ability to cut inside was slightly inferior. After coming to the end line, he still handled the ball according to the more traditional habits of a winger.
Cross!
Diarra, who was in the defensive box, made a contribution. He made Kanort's header fall short. The two players fought for the ball at the same point, and Diarra won!
Without Diarra, Pepe and Cannavaro would have missed out on one of Sevilla's two strikers, who were agile in their positioning.
"Seville's counterattack also looks quite threatening. It's obvious that Seville is well prepared for this match!"
How to restrict Real Madrid was indeed a topic that the La Liga teams and the other European powerhouses were studying recently.
In the 14th minute of the game, Robben dribbled on the right flank to advance the offense. He changed direction and cut horizontally in front of the penalty area. Qin Xiong cut diagonally to the right flank's end line and switched roles with Robben.
After passing by Qin Xiong, Robben flicked his ankle and stuffed the ball in the opposite direction, passing it to Qin Xiong's feet.
Qin Xiong did not stop the ball in the narrow space near the end line and directly passed the ball with a flowery kick!
This kind of pass was more unexpected to the opponent and difficult to defend.
However, Raúl, who received the ball in the middle, ran too fast. He used an awkward posture to head the ball to the goal, and it became a header to break the siege.
Qin Xiong raised his hand to Raúl to indicate that there was a problem with the quality of his pass.
Naturally, he could not guarantee that every flash of inspiration would be able to play to the top level.
In the 19th minute of the game, Qin Xiong took a free kick in the front field. He looked at the height of the human wall and decided to try to bombard Seville's goal himself.
After the referee whistled, Qin Xiong, who looked serious, ran up and tried to blast the goal with an elevator ball.
Bang!
The football hit the human wall and bounced out. Qin Xiong grinned and felt that the angle was still a little off.
He looked back. Because the force was relatively large, the force that hit the human wall was also very heavy. The extent of the rebound of the football was naturally very large.
The football bounced back to the vicinity of the midfield, where Kanort ferried the header. Navas, who moved to the left flank, quickly moved the ball forward.
He quickly dribbled the ball to the front of Real Madrid's penalty area. Diarra had been following Fabiano, who had been running forward. Navas saw one foot into the penalty area and Pepe made a fierce tackle.
Navas flicked the ball forward and then tried to jump up to dodge Pepe's tackle. However, he was still hooked by Pepe's calf and fell into Real Madrid's penalty area!
The referee blew the whistle and pointed to Real Madrid's penalty spot. He decisively rushed to Pepe and reached out to pull out a red card!
"Oh my God! Real Madrid not only have to be awarded a penalty kick, but also have to pay the price of losing a player! Pepe's reckless and dangerous tackle gave Seville a penalty kick and applied for a red card himself!
Real Madrid has been in the advantageous position since the start of the game, but now they have to play one less player! "
Pepe got up from the ground and shouted excitedly at the referee, "There's no problem with my move. He was the one who dived!"
The referee's decision might have been a little harsh, giving both a penalty kick and a red card.
However, judging from the slow-motion replay, Pepe did make a dangerous move. He raised his foot slightly when he tackled the ball and did have physical contact with Navas. It could only be said that Navas was agile and flexible and did not get tackled by Pepe. If that was the case, it would be difficult not to get injured.
The referee did not accept Pepe's protest. In the end, Pepe could only raise a mocking smile and shake his head as he walked to the sidelines.
Raúl and Casillas also pleaded for Pepe, but the referee just put on an impartial expression and ignored them.
The Sevilla fans cheered. Getting a penalty kick on their home ground was the best news they could get!
No, there was something even better!
Real Madrid had a player sent off!
Fabiano stood in front of the penalty spot in the penalty area. When the referee blew the whistle, he calmly volleyed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal. Even if Casillas predicted the direction, there was nothing he could do!
After the goal, the Pizjuán Stadium was noisy. The Seville fans seemed to be exhaling and cheering enthusiastically.
Fabiano also ran to the sidelines to accept the cheers of the fans.
"The game has reached a turning point. Real Madrid was awarded a penalty kick because Pepe tackled Navas in the penalty area. Fabiano scored the penalty kick as soon as he touched it. What's worse, Pepe was sent off because of this. Real Madrid was forced to play with ten players in the away game. There are still 70 minutes left in the game. Will Real Madrid's ten-game winning streak in the league end at the Pizjuán Stadium? Now we have to see what kind of adjustments Bosque will make! "
