Qin Xiong's pretentious pass to Robben gave Liverpool's defensive line a preemptive idea in their defensive judgment.
In the past, Real Madrid had stubbornly attacked the right flank. Relying on Robben's individual combat ability did not have a particularly obvious effect in positional play, but winning a set piece to get a chance to shoot also made Liverpool very wary.
As for why it was not Snede's side, it was easy to understand. Snede's individual surprise attack ability was not particularly strong.
When Alonso and Mascherano tacitly moved slightly towards Aurelio's side to carry out a defensive position, Qin Xiong hooked the ball with his foot. Gerard, who came to press from behind, stretched out his leg and missed.
At this time, Snede cut across the middle from the left flank. Kuyt rushed diagonally to press Qin Xiong. Before the two men converged, Qin Xiong passed the ball straight to Snede, who was not far in front.
Mascherano and Alonso were suddenly alert: it turned out that he was going to hit the middle!
They immediately began to press Snede!
At this time, Snede dribbled the ball one step back to widen the distance between him and Liverpool's back waist line.
Behind him, Qin Xiong ran diagonally to the left flank of the front field as fast as lightning.
When Mascherano was about to stick close to Snede, Snede's foot tucked the ball diagonally to the front left. Mascherano and Alonso suddenly saw Qin Xiong running diagonally!
Facing the rolling football, Qin Xiong ran forward. Arbeloa shrank to the middle and took two steps forward, intending to intercept Qin Xiong head-on.
His idea was that even if Qin Xiong wanted to pass him, he could interfere with Qin Xiong at the moment of passing the ball if he cut inside. Carragher would also ambush behind the middle.
If Qin Xiong broke through to the outside, it was not a good choice from a chance perspective. It would not give Real Madrid a better chance to shoot.
But at this time, Qin Xiong chose to pass the ball!
He crossed the ball in front of Arbeloa in the middle of the penalty area, and then ran from the outside out of Arbeloa's expectation. In a semi-arc trajectory, he bypassed from the outside to behind Arbeloa!
Qin Xiong's pass was to the shadow striker Raúl in the middle. Raúl ran diagonally to receive the ball. the ball rolled from between Carragher and Arbeloa into the penalty area.
Qin Xiong, who bypassed Arbeloa's back, was about to touch the ball!
The reason why Qin Xiong chose to run like this was to interfere with Arbeloa.
Arbeloa's mind was in a mess when Qin Xiong ran. He first looked to his right side and was about to turn around. Raúl ran diagonally and sent a straight pass. Arbeloa braked and turned from the other side. The time spent in between made it impossible for him to effectively defend against Qin Xiong!
Carragher saw that the situation was not good and could only run toward Qin Xiong.
When Qin Xiong touched the ball, he turned the ball diagonally to the back. In a flash, he dodged Carragher's tackle!
Carragher's forehead was oozing with cold sweat. The imposing Qin Xiong in front of him not only got rid of him in the emergency stop and turn, but also swayed out an angle to shoot!
Carragher had been attracted by Higuaín. Mascherano and Alonso's retreat to the penalty area was not fast enough. Qin Xiong did it in one go. After he turned the ball diagonally, he blasted out a shot without hesitation!
The football went straight into the goal from the top of the near corner of the goal!
Reina was stunned and did not respond!
Qin Xiong's shot was like a flash of lightning for the football!
Qin Xiong ran into the goal and hugged the football, then ran back.
"Real Madrid equalized the score! Qin Xiong's goal!
This attack showed us the style of the defending champions. The quick-flowing team cooperation in the middle and front field, the clean style of handling the ball, and Qin Xiong, as always, played the role of the team's soul!
The score becomes 1: 1, and the total score is 3: 3. Liverpool still leads Real Madrid by virtue of the visiting team's goal advantage. "
Benítez was expressionless after seeing the goal on the sidelines. Real Madrid's technical and tactical system had changed beyond recognition, but the technical and tactical foundation accumulated from last season was still there.
There was no point in discussing the formation alone.
Simply put, Real Madrid's players knew how to defend, but the poor defensive effect was directly related to the obvious decline in the players' individual strength.
Similarly, Real Madrid's players also knew how to play offense, but the decline in the players' individual ability or state determined that they could not play the devastating offense like before.
The important link in supporting the attacking group was the midfield organization. Guti's decline in state was the main reason for the fragmentation of the attacking group. Coupled with the impact of the injury, the chain reaction was difficult to quantify.
Bosque solved the problem in the midfield and let Qin Xiong return to the midfield, so Real Madrid's improvement in the offensive link would be significant.
Benítez had to admit that in terms of adjustments, Bosque still had a strong foundation.
It was just that the shortcomings of Real Madrid's lineup could not be solved by the manager's adjustments, especially in a special team like Real Madrid.
He knew that the game would be more difficult than expected, but Liverpool still had the advantage!
In addition to the home advantage, the visiting team's goal, and so on, this advantage also had a tactical and psychological advantage.
The game restarted, and the Liverpool players did not panic at all. There was no need to.
In the 34th minute of the game, Real Madrid's offense made a comeback. Robben dribbled the football on the right flank and sprinted. After a wild dash, he suddenly passed the ball back to the midfield on the right flank. At this time, Snede, who was already fixed in the middle of the midfield, did not stop the ball. He passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong, who cut from the flank.
Qin Xiong rushed ahead of Arbeloa and dribbled the ball forward. In front of the penalty area, Mascherano put his foot down to press for the ball. Qin Xiong suddenly stopped and stepped on the ball under his foot, pulled the ball and started again. He elegantly brushed past Mascherano's side. Alonso went straight back to the penalty area to defend against Qin Xiong.
He exposed the gap behind him in the process of going up and grabbing.
Qin Xiong's ankle shook and the football rolled close to the ground behind Alonso. Raúl plugged forward to press the middle of Liverpool's penalty area.
At this time, Agger and Carragher closed the door to defend and blocked Raúl's path forward.
Seeing that there was no shooting angle in front, Raúl suddenly used his outside foot to diagonally kick the ball to the front right.
The football rolled between Agger's legs. Agger looked back in panic and saw that although the smoking gun, Higuaín, was a beat slower, he still ran hard to create a chance to shoot.
Higuaín, who was eager to make a contribution, was perhaps too anxious. He did not control the ball, but forced a half-turn to volley!
In order to ensure that the football could be hit within the goal range, Higuaín's shot was too direct, and Reina stood in place and hugged it directly in his arms.
Another wave of Real Madrid's threatening offensive was declared a failure.
Reina hugged the football and ran forward. When he came to the edge of the penalty area, he threw the ball hard to the left flank of the midfield!
Liverpool's counterattack suddenly came!
