After Raúl scored, he came to the corner flag area with a proud look on his face. He gestured with his hands and raised his thumbs, pointing his thumbs above his head to his back.
Real Madrid's number 7, captain Raúl!
Bernabéu's King of the Rings!
The Real Madrid fans burst into unprecedented cheers and cheered for Raúl.
His teammates came around Raúl to congratulate him on his goal. After Raúl and Guti hugged, he high-fived Qin Xiong to celebrate. Then they walked together to the backfield.
Barcelona's plan fell through.
Even if they defended to the death, it was not a solution. At least, it was not possible to only rely on the defensive midfielders and the defenders to defend!
Rijkaard made a substitution at this time.
Bojan, who disappeared after the start of the game, was brought off. Giovanni came on to strengthen the midfield defense.
Barcelona's offensive responsibility fell entirely on Messi's shoulders.
He struggled to find opportunities and had to push forward to create opportunities for himself.
In the 37th minute of the game, Messi sent a straight ball to Gudjohnsen after he cut inside from the right side of the front field. The straight ball was unexpected.
At least the Real Madrid players thought that Messi would be stubborn to the end and stubbornly challenge Real Madrid's defensive line alone.
If that was the case, Real Madrid would really have nothing to worry about.
At least without actively exposing obvious flaws, it was not impossible for Messi to break through Real Madrid's gates, but it might take many, many attempts.
Gudjohnsen himself did not understand Messi's intention of a straight ball, so he started slowly.
When he followed the direction of the rolling football to the left side of the penalty area, he had lost his best shooting angle. In the end, he could only barely complete a shot with his left foot, which Casillas easily confiscated!
Messi saw that his teammate had wasted a good opportunity. His expression did not change, but when he turned around and walked back, his fists gradually clenched!
Perhaps Barcelona had not formed a unified consciousness inside: Messi was not the king yet!
So, when he tried to turn the tide or tried to reverse the game with his own strength, the other players did not think it was right or natural.
Rookies like Bojan might not dare to have any dissatisfaction, but players like Gudjohnsen and Deco, would they be able to accept it calmly and cooperate with it?
Rijkaard had caused the locker room to go out of control because of the conflict between the generals. No one could stand up to take charge of the overall situation and tell everyone: Messi is the core!
No!
Messi was just doing a good job, so good that Chelsea could give him a 100-million-euro check!
But in the team, he was still not the king!
If he could get undisputed status and recognition in the team, then Gudjohnsen's side.
Then he believed that Gudjohnsen wouldn't be slow to realize that he was going to pass the ball, because everyone's attention must be on me!
Follow me to fight!
In this game, Messi's and Gudjohnsen, Messi and Messi! and ''s and Gudjohnsen...
Qin Xiong had this realization more than two years ago. Otherwise, he would not have broken up with Arsenal.
Now Messi understood that if he stayed in Barcelona and wanted to create a great career, he must first be the king of the team!
The whole team must revolve around him!
Barcelona strengthened the defense in the middle and backfield. Real Madrid needed to be more patient in organizing the offense and tearing up the opponent's defense to create good shooting opportunities.
In the 42nd minute of the game, Snede, Guti and Robben kept passing the ball horizontally in the front field to tear up the opponent's defense.
After a series of passes, Snede suddenly sent a straight pass from the flank. Zambrotta was caught off guard by Marcelo's plugging in from the flank.
Zambrotta waited for Marcelo to go down before he chased back. He did not interfere with Marcelo's pass.
Qin Xiong plugged in and nodded his head to attack the goal. Because the ball was too fast, Qin Xiong had difficulty controlling the angle of the header. As a result, the header was a little straight and was blocked by Valdés' arm.
The football that popped out of the periphery was sent to the stands by Guti's volley.
Even so, Real Madrid's attack won applause from the fans.
The first half of the game ended with Barcelona trailing by three goals.
The players of the two teams walked into the players' tunnel.
In the second half, the two teams switched sides and played again. This was probably the least suspenseful El Clásico in recent years.
Messi's lone battle began to decline. He had fewer and fewer chances to get the ball. Real Madrid tried to control the game to threaten Barcelona's goal.
In the 64th minute of the game, Robben cut inside the penalty area on the right side and received a straight pass from Qin Xiong after he retreated. He turned the ball back in the penalty area, then dribbled two steps horizontally. Before Puyol came up to block, he blasted a powerful shot with his left foot!
Valdés subconsciously saved and blocked the ball with his palms, but the football that rebounded out of the penalty area was headed back into the goal by Raúl's header!
Raúl was ecstatic and kissed the ring to celebrate. The Barcelona players were speechless. It was as if God wanted them to be destroyed at Bernabéu!
"Real Madrid leads Barcelona by four goals. The game is no longer suspenseful. Real Madrid has crushed their arch-rival Barcelona in the 233rd El Clásico! Barcelona has really reached the point where it's time to rebuild. Their performance this season is really unconvincing. Chaos and contradictions are the focus of everyone's attention. They can only watch Real Madrid defend their title with their own eyes, and they're going to be double-killed in the league. Furthermore, it's a big score. The Barcelona fans cannot tolerate such a result! "
In order to prevent Real Madrid from scoring, the defeated "Catalan army" almost all the defensive players were compressed in the penalty area. They seemed to want to block the goal.
In the 79th minute of the game, after Messi broke through Guti, Diarra, and Marcelo in the front field, his venting shot was blocked by Pepe with his body!
The sad Barcelona fans stared helplessly at Messi's thin figure at the moment. He wanted to carry the king's flag of Barcelona, but who else was there besides him?
No one!
And Real Madrid, the king of the temple in the Madrid football temple, Qin Xiong, had a group of partners to assist him on his left and right!
Just after the end of the attack, Barcelona was attacked by Real Madrid's quick attack.
Ramos pushed the attack from the flank and passed the ball diagonally to Snede on the other side.
Snede dribbled the ball forward for about ten yards and then crossed the ball in front of the penalty area.
Barcelona's defensive line was too far behind.
They only realized this when Qin Xiong retreated and appeared in front of the penalty area.
Yaya Touré wanted to head out to avoid being shot by Qin Xiong, but Qin Xiong cleverly made way after the football rolled in front of him. Yaya Touré failed to snatch the ball. Qin Xiong stopped abruptly and chased the ball again. He took advantage of the situation and kicked the goal from the right position in front of the penalty area!
He aimed at the lower right corner of the goal and kicked a half-high ball out!
As soon as the football entered the penalty area, it hit Marcos's leg and changed direction.
Valdés stopped in his tracks and immediately turned around to look.
The deflected football flew into the lower left corner of the goal!
