Robinho's lack of form affected Real Madrid's offense in the first 20 minutes of the game.
Originally, the team had hoped to play a miraculous effect through Robinho.
In the end, Robinho disappointingly missed the heaven-sent opportunities again and again.
Qin Xiong walked to Robinho's side in the 22nd minute of the game, pulled him aside and said bluntly in his ear, "You didn't feel the way you shot today. Do more supporting work!"
Robinho also knew that his previous performance had disappointed his teammates. In the face of Qin Xiong's request, he did not dare to object because the entire Real Madrid team knew that Qin Xiong absolutely put the team's interests first!
Arsenal's offense began to show a disorganized state.
In the 26th minute of the game, Walcott passed from the flank and Adebayor rushed ahead to head the ball. As a result, the football went over the crossbar.
Casillas kicked the ball out of the goal. After the Real Madrid midfield was overorganized, the football rolled to Robinho's feet.
He dribbled two steps forward and passed the ball to Guti, who plugged in from the middle.
Arsenal had previously seen that Robinho was Real Madrid's center of gravity. Although Robinho did not seize the opportunity, they could not leave him alone. Therefore, they leaned heavily to this side in defense.
Guti kicked the ball out and transferred the offense to the left side of the front field.
Sneijder ran horizontally to receive the ball. After stopping the ball, he sent out a straight ball.
The football rolled into the left side of the penalty area.
Qin Xiong got rid of Flamini and ran diagonally to cut straight into this area.
Senderos, who was highly alert, immediately turned his head to catch up with Qin Xiong.
Before Qin Xiong took possession of the ball, he directly stepped on the bicycle and pulled the ball back. Senderos lost his balance and was shaken off by Qin Xiong when he came to a sudden stop. At this time, Qin Xiong again poked the ball to the middle of the goal area, followed by a volley that blasted out!
The football went straight to the top right corner of the goal, a dead corner!
Almunia did not even make a save.
Bernabéu cheered. Qin Xiong went to the sidelines to celebrate this time, but he still restrained himself.
"Qin Xiong! It was Qin Xiong again! He opened the scoring for Real Madrid and now the total score had expanded to 4: 2. If Arsenal wanted to advance, scoring only two goals was not enough! They needed to score three goals to reverse Real Madrid and advance into the Champions League quarter-finals!
Today, Arsenal's form hasn't improved much. They can't be compared to the state they were in during the first round against Real Madrid. Their momentum is not even half of what it was at that time! "
The mood of Arsenal's generals did not change much, or it could be said that their mood, which had been in a low state for the past two weeks, was difficult to go down again.
They watched numbly as Qin Xiong received the cheers and worship of the tens of thousands of Bernabéu fans, as if he did not care about the game at all.
Wenger sat in the technical area and rubbed his hands. There was a hint of sadness in his expression.
Arsenal, who had been dormant for a year before going on the road again, was certainly not stronger than when they won the Champions League two years ago, but it was also very impressive to leave everyone else in the Premier League. They did not expect to suffer a home defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League, followed by Eduardo's broken leg. Such a blow was too heavy!
Arsenal still took a desperate stance after losing the ball.
But it was more like a desperate gambler's gamble that lost his mind.
In the 35th minute of the game, Arsenal, with the whole team pressing on, played a strong attack that made Real Madrid nervous.
Henry, Adebayor, and Walcott seized the opportunity in the penalty area. Hleb's long shot caused Casillas to lose his hand to save. Heinz, who hurriedly broke free, missed his kick. After the football rolled to the outside, Fàbregas once again shot a long shot, but it was blocked by Cannavaro with his body.
The football that was blocked again fell at the feet of the Arsenal players.
Flamini made a mistake in the pass under Qin Xiong's pressure. His intended pass to Henry from the side was directly intercepted by Ramos.
After Ramos intercepted the ball, he directly strode forward with the ball.
He pushed the offense 50 yards from the backfield in one breath until he arrived in front of Arsenal's penalty area. Only then did he pass the ball to Qin Xiong, who received in the middle.
At this time, Arsenal's rear defensive line was already a scene of chaos.
Gallas bravely stepped forward to intercept, and Qin Xiong calmly picked the ball on the left side of the penalty area.
Snede seized the empty space to cut into the area, and when the football fell, he used the arch of his foot to pass the ball to the middle.
Raúl, who was completely undefended in front of the goal, shot the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.
After Almunia saved the ball, he rolled in front of the goal line and finally sat directly by the goalpost, looking quite helpless.
The Real Madrid fans in the Bernabéu stands did not care about Arsenal's situation. When they saw the team score again to expand their lead, they were crazy with excitement!
Raúl was breaking the European scoring record, and every goal could be said to be a new record!
"Real Madrid scored the second goal, and Arsenal paid a painful price for their reckless pressing. Real Madrid's quick counterattack after switching from defense to offense was as fast as lightning. The performance of Arsenal's rear defensive line is really unflattering, and there is no team cooperation at all.
2: 0, total score 5: 2.
Real Madrid can be said to have locked in the top eight. "
Bosque's heart was at ease on the sidelines.
He had been worried about Robinho's abnormality, but after seeing Arsenal's state, his worries began to dissipate. After the team scored two goals, he was finally able to put down his worries.
In such a top-level game, a single mistake could lead to the effect of losing the whole game.
Real Madrid had a problem, but Arsenal had more problems!
The whole team was in a slump, and the low morale was the biggest problem!
Wenger was at his wit's end when it came to this problem.
After witnessing the team concede the second goal and the total score gap widened to three goals, Wenger resigned himself to fate!
There was no way not to. If this continued, the team might be mercilessly massacred by Real Madrid at the Bernabéu!
Wenger stood up and walked to the sidelines to make a gesture.
The Arsenal team tacitly accepted Wenger's on-the-spot changes.
The team began to play defense and counterattack!
Why did they not play at the start?
Because the total score was behind, Real Madrid had a good ability to control the rhythm. If Arsenal played defense and counterattack at the start of the game, Real Madrid might exhaust Arsenal to death!
And they would never give Arsenal the opportunity to counterattack that they wanted.
Playing defense and counterattack now was just a helpless move to avoid being crushed by Real Madrid.
But today, Arsenal's starting players were really not suitable to play defense and counterattack.
They had the configuration to counterattack.
Henry, Walcott, these were all players with explosive speed.
Adebayor could also control the ball in the middle and front field and act as a fulcrum to distribute the ball.
But what about defense?
Hleb and Clichy's side had hidden dangers. Could Flamini and Fàbregas stop Qin Xiong and Guti?
How could Walcott's defensive ability be compared to Ljungberg's in the past?
