Real Madrid's attack on the right flank was more restricted today. Robben's contribution to the goal made him the focus of the fans' praise on the field. At other times, his breakthroughs could not create better shooting opportunities for Real Madrid.
In the 56th minute of the game, Qin Xiong dribbled all the way from the middle. He and Guti did a front and back wall combination to shake off Gerard and Kuyt.
Many of the current opponents were wary of Qin Xiong's individual breakthroughs, so most of them would adopt joint defense in defense.
Only the teams that did not have a tacit understanding of their overall technical and tactical defense would be seized by Qin Xiong to break them down one by one.
Like today's Liverpool, when Qin Xiong dribbled the ball across the half of the field, Alonso and Mascherano immediately retreated. Not only did the two players form a horizontal joint defense, but they also stayed close to the rear line. The rear line's tendency to withdraw was also very obvious. They were not afraid of Real Madrid's cross balls, which were not part of Real Madrid's main offensive tactics.
Qin Xiong dribbled all the way to the front of the penalty area. He was more than 25 yards away from the goal, and he could no longer break through.
A close-range run-off and a breakthrough in a straight line attack both required space. The former's requirements may be lower because it would be easier to release the ball after run-off. But if it was a straight forward breakthrough, it would be more predictable. If the opponent combined defense to intercept, even if Qin Xiong passed Alonso or Mascherano, there was a high probability that the defender would seize the opportunity to rush up and intercept him.
And the price of being intercepted would be very high. Real Madrid would encounter a mercury-like counterattack storm from the opponent.
Qin Xiong saw Liverpool's tight defensive formation in front of him. He suddenly lifted his leg for a long shot. It was not an unexpected move, but the way he shot made Liverpool break out in a cold sweat.
Overhead shot!
He rubbed out a curveball and the football flew to the upper right corner of the goal. In order to ensure the angle, Qin Xiong did not shoot with much power.
When the football was about to fall into Liverpool's goal, Reina's hand appeared in front of the football's flight path and the football was blocked out of the end line!
The Bernabéu stands let out a sigh of disappointment, but it was immediately followed by applause for Qin Xiong's curveball kick.
"Qin Xiong's long shot tested Reina. He almost got it. Suddenly, he chose a curve ball in the far corner of the penalty area. Reina calmly moved quickly and blocked the ball out of the end line! A world-class save! Today, the goalkeepers of both teams performed brilliantly and made the opponents' fierce attacks fall short of success. "
Just as the commentator was still counting and praising the performances of the two teams' goalkeepers in the game, Liverpool launched another quick attack in the 62nd minute of the game.
They were going to bully Marcelo to death today!
Arbeloa made a long pass in the backfield, and Kuyt's back was facing Marcelo. No matter how hard Marcelo tried, he could not defeat Kuyt in a physical confrontation.
After the football bounced and flew over, Kuyt directly used his chest to head the ball to the middle, and then turned to chase the ball.
At this time, it was too late for Marcelo to follow. After all, he did not expect Kuyt to use his chest to change the direction of the ball.
Guti used a flying tackle after Kuyt had just taken possession of the ball. He put Kuyt to the ground head-on and he did not touch the ball. The referee's whistle sounded and he ruled that Guti had committed a foul and gave him a yellow card.
Guti protested to the referee that he did not maliciously tackle the ball, but the referee said that his action was still within the range of dangerous actions.
It was a free kick in the right position of the front field. The spot of the free kick was thirty yards away from the goal, which was relatively far away.
Liverpool's left-footed player, Aurelio, stood in front of the free kick spot.
Torres, Gerard, Arbeloa, Agger and the other Liverpool players were ready to support in the penalty area.
As the football was a little far from the goal, the probability of a direct attack was not very high, so Real Madrid put the main force into the defense in the penalty area.
At this time, Qin Xiong noticed a strange thing.
All the Liverpool players who rushed into the penalty area almost uniformly stood in the left area of the free kick spot, which was the point that was relatively far away from the kick spot.
In theory, if the left-footed player, Aurelio, passed the ball, the football would be an internal spin ball, so the football would spin in the direction of the goal after flying into the penalty area.
If the ball went a little farther, then it would be easier to use the side of the ball to attack the goal with a header, and it would be easier to grasp the opportunity to charge forward with the football's internal spin.
But the problem was that such an attack looked too obvious.
Even the long shot expert, Alonso, stood in the left area outside the penalty area. Real Madrid had to send a defensive player to mark Alonso to prevent Aurelio from passing the ball to Alonso to create a better chance for a long shot.
Qin Xiong and Snede stood in front of Aurelio to act as a human wall. Snede faced Aurelio, and Qin Xiong faced his own goal. Originally, he wanted to communicate with Casillas about the position of the human wall.
But after seeing the defensive situation in the penalty area, Qin Xiong felt that something was wrong.
This was because the right half of the penalty box, which was the area closest to the goal post, was completely empty!
And Casillas stood in the left position of the goal, which looked like half of Real Madrid's goal was empty!
There was a problem with Casillas's position in front of the goal!
Of course, he could say that he was trying to limit the opponent's header at the far end of the penalty area. After all, the Red Army players who rushed up were concentrated on this side. The goalkeeper was most afraid of chaos. Casillas could attack faster and use his fists to strangle all the threats before the football fell!
But this assumption was based on the fact that Liverpool really used this corner kick to create a threat with a cross!
Qin Xiong had to shout at Casillas, "Igor, Igor, go back to the middle of the goal! Go back to the middle of the goal! "
Casillas could not hear Qin Xiong's shouts at all. At this time, the referee blew the whistle. Aurelio ran up and kicked the direct free kick!
Qin Xiong turned his head and saw the football fly past a position about two meters away from him, and it was a half-high ball!
Just seeing the football fly at a height of less than half a meter above the ground, Qin Xiong knew that it was not a f * * king cross!
It was a direct shot at the goal!
The football flew into Real Madrid's penalty area with a strong spin. As expected, the football that was shot by Aurelio with his left foot had a strong internal spin!
During the flight, the football's trajectory changed in an arc!
The football that went around to the near corner of the goal surprised Casillas!
Everyone who was hoarded in the left half of the penalty area, whether it was the Real Madrid players or the Liverpool players, could not change the course of the ball. They could not participate in it!
And Real Madrid's wide open right half of the goal and the "no man's land" on the right half of the penalty area allowed the football to fly past smoothly!
Casillas felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. He sprinted towards the near post of the goal. After the football flew into the penalty area, he had to make a save, but his extended arm was still about half a meter away from the football!
Dang!
The football hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal!
