The teams in La Liga were very wary of Real Madrid's offense.
But most of the weak teams could only rely on more defensive players to carry out destructive defense.
Therefore, Qin Xiong was not afraid of the opponent's encirclement and suppression. That was a lack of tactical restraint.
Just as the encirclement was about to be formed, Qin Xiong passed the ball between Santana's legs to the right side in front of the penalty area.
Santana immediately looked back and saw Peter Pan, Robben, cross the ball horizontally. Robben's footsteps were extremely fast, but his eyes were looking into the penalty area!
Mallorca's defensive line found that the ball was at Robben's feet after the previous failed encirclement. Their contracted defensive line immediately stretched out again and moved towards Robben's side.
In the process, the full-back, Clarence, and the left center back, Ramis, moved too fast. There was enough space between the two of them and the center back, Nunez!
And Qin Xiong's next move after the pass seemed to foresee that the opponent would move like this. He cut into the area diagonally and ran between Nunez and Ramis.
Robben was also facing the risk of being encircled, but he saw Qin Xiong's running position and decisively stuffed the ball diagonally into the penalty area with his foot!
The football rolled diagonally between Ramis and Clarence. The two of them looked back and saw Qin Xiong running in the direction of the rolling football!
The reverse offside was successful!
On the right side parallel to the penalty spot, Qin Xiong did not stop the ball and pushed the ball with his right foot to the far corner of the goal.
He did not want to give the goalkeeper, Álvarez, any time to react. He continued Real Madrid's wave of offensive fast, accurate, and ruthless to the last strike!
Álvarez originally wanted to make a save, but Qin Xiong's sudden push into the penalty area caught him off guard. For a moment, he seemed to be unprepared. He could only turn his head and watch the football roll past his body on the right side, then hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal!
Qin Xiong scored!
But there were not many cheers in the stadium because not many Real Madrid fans came to the scene to support them.
After Qin Xiong scored, he immediately turned to look at Robben, pointing at him and praising his direct shot.
Robben walked over to Qin Xiong, and the two hugged.
"Alger, well done!"
"Of course, I know that too."
After Raúl ran over to congratulate Qin Xiong on his goal, they walked back together.
Even if Real Madrid scored and took the lead, they were still moving forward in a silent and lonely state.
"Real Madrid has scored! Qin Xiong's form has gradually improved since his return. The attack just now may have stunned many Real Madrid fans in front of the television, because it has been a long time since we have seen Real Madrid play with such smooth and sharp teamwork.
Marcelo, Snede, Qin Xiong, Raúl, Robben, they worked together to quickly pass the ball and move forward in the offensive. They tore apart the opponent's defensive line in an organized manner and completely made the opponent surrender!
Although the European football world is now praising Barcelona's teamwork, sometimes I admire Real Madrid's direct and not cumbersome positional warfare and penetrating teamwork to advance. "
When the Real Madrid players stood in formation again and waited for the kickoff, they were surprised to see the old manager, Bosque, walk to the sidelines and applaud calmly like a kind old man with a comforting smile on his face.
In the stadium with no atmosphere, Bosque's applause seemed insignificant. But as the cold wind blew, every Real Madrid player seemed to be able to hear the sound of the applause from the depths of their hearts, shaking the soul of every player!
Perhaps the whole world was waiting to watch a good show for Real Madrid today!
They were all ready to hit them when they were down and beat them when they were down!
They were waiting to write a negative case of the fall of the king's coach, which would be very satisfying!
Because the winner, the king, would be hated by the majority!
Bosque's applause at this time warmed the heart of every player.
Why didn't they need to be praised?
What did they do wrong?
Were the injuries their fault?
Was the darkness of the management, the muddleheadedness of the management, their fault?
Was it something they could have avoided?
The president was elected by you, the members!
Not the players!
Injuries were something that the players could not avoid.
The signings were not effective, the ones who appointed the person in charge of the contract were not the players, and the ones who signed the cheques were not the players!
In the end, the ones who were implicated and even became the targets of the world's guns were the players!
Because every week, they were the spokespeople of Real Madrid! They represented everything about Real Madrid!
The players were united as one. When the game resumed, Real Madrid did not slack off because they were in the lead. Instead, they fought even harder.
Mallorca's lineup today had a shortcoming. They put more forces on the defensive line and sent two strikers at the same time, which made their midfield even more empty!
They did not have the ability to directly advance from the defensive line to the forward line. They had to go through the midfield!
Therefore, when they were unable to occupy the advantage in the midfield and were instead surrounded by Real Madrid in the front field, Mallorca's offense could hardly advance to the hinterland of Real Madrid's defense, let alone form a chance to shoot.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, was more aggressive in their offense.
In the 21st minute of the game, Qin Xiong and Snede switched positions and went down the left wing. He lured the full back, Scaloni, out and sent a straight pass to Marcelo. Marcelo cut into the penalty area and swept the ball in front of the goal!
The captain, Raúl, cut in diagonally and pushed the shot forward. The goalkeeper, Álvat, blocked the ball with his body.
Mallorca managed to escape.
Six minutes later, Robben dribbled along the right wing. He turned into the middle in front of the penalty area. Qin Xiong cut diagonally into the penalty area to cover for him. He almost widened the score with a shot from outside the penalty area. Álvat was powerless to reverse the situation. Unfortunately, the angle was a little off and the football slipped out of the goal.
In the last ten minutes of the first half, Real Madrid's formation pressed forward and launched a bombardment of Mallorca's penalty area.
Guti finally completed a long shot in front of the penalty area. The football hit the full back, Navarro, and bounced out. Marcelo controlled the football on the outside and transferred it to Snede's feet.
Snede looked at the situation in the penalty area and also raised his foot to blast the goal.
The goalkeeper, Álvat, made a wonderful save and punched the ball out with both fists.
Robben stopped the ball with his chest on the outside and passed the ball to Raúl. Raúl wanted to take advantage of the goalkeeper's fall to the ground to immediately finish the shot. He half-turned his volley and formed a cross with the full back, Nunez.
The football rolled out in the collision.
The frightened Mallorca players saw the football roll to Qin Xiong's feet and thought that Qin Xiong would also take advantage of the situation to do a long shot.
Qin Xiong, after swinging his leg, used the tip of his foot to pass the ball to the empty space in the side of the penalty area!
The Mallorca defensive line players were thunderstruck. They did not expect Qin Xiong to choose to pass the ball.
Robben, who was in an offside position, faced the falling football and used his left foot to perfectly stop the ball. After Álvat rushed over, he dribbled past Álvat and easily shot the empty goal!
