Real Madrid had a small interlude before the game resumed.
Qin Xiong walked to the sidelines while the Sevilla players were celebrating. Bosque saw Qin Xiong's action and stood up from the technical area and walked to the sidelines.
His mood was a little heavy. After all, the team was the first to concede a goal.
One could imagine how much pressure the team would be under.
At this time, Qin Xiong walked to the sidelines again. He looked calm, but Bosque was worried that Qin Xiong felt unwell and asked to take the initiative to leave the field.
When Qin Xiong walked in front of him, Bosque spoke first.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Xiong said bluntly, "Why don't you let Rafael and me change positions?"
He did not say the reason. He believed that Bosque could also see that Van Der Vaart was temporarily unable to play on the right flank. Maybe if he was given another 30 or 40 minutes, he could perform better.
Unfortunately, the pressure in this game was so great that it was impossible to give Van Der Vaart such a long time to adjust his state of mind.
This might also be the epitome of Real Madrid's season. They were always in a race against time. The competitive environment also left the team with no room for good adjustment.
Bosque thought for a moment and nodded. He understood Qin Xiong's thinking.
Anyway, Real Madrid's rear defensive line always had some kind of problem. It was better to maximize the activation of the offense instead of playing the game according to the established idea step by step. Because the accident had already happened: they lost the ball first!
Qin Xiong returned to the field and walked to Van Der Vaart's side. He said to him seriously, "You'll play as the organizing midfielder. I'll play as the right midfielder."
Van Der Vaart sighed deeply and nodded in agreement.
He naturally saw the exchange between Qin Xiong and Bosque and understood that this adjustment was actually Qin Xiong accommodating him.
Because in terms of ability, Qin Xiong was the most powerful when he played as a midfielder.
However, in terms of team chemistry, Van Der Vaart's passivity would cause the entire frontline's offensive power to drop.
Qin Xiong was sacrificing himself to ensure that the team's overall offensive strength would increase!
Perhaps in the eyes of the fans, such a change was not a big deal.
If Qin Xiong can play on the wings, then so be it!
But in fact, in the eyes of the manager, Bosque was a little distressed.
From a competitive point of view, Qin Xiong was definitely worthy of Real Madrid. The contributions he made and the sacrifices he made!
However, the club could not provide him with the best environment, which was why the European media encouraged Qin Xiong to find another way out.
He had done everything he could and achieved a result that was better than everyone's expectations!
And the result?
The club's management destroyed the Great Wall, causing the team to be unable to continue after its great glory.
As for Qin Xiong's suspension of contract renewal negotiations with the club, Bosque felt that Qin Xiong had his own position and reason, and no one could blame him for anything.
He had the capital to become the greatest player in the early 21st century. Of course, he had to consider the development and planning of his career more carefully than any other player.
After the game restarted, Van Der Vaart's performance in the middle immediately improved.
And he took the initiative to drag his position back to avoid being surrounded in the frontline and losing the ball.
In the 21st minute of the game, Van Der Vaart passed the ball to the right. Perotti was close to Qin Xiong to prepare for a close defense. Qin Xiong's right foot kicked the ball behind Perotti, and then burst into acceleration from the flank to overtake. He charged directly into Sevilla's dangerous defensive zone with lightning speed.
Renato assisted in defending the flank. After he bravely rushed over, Qin Xiong directly spiked the ball and cut across the middle. Then, he sent a diagonal pass before Romario could intercept it.
The football that rolled behind Romario was kicked out by Raúl on the left side in front of the penalty area.
Snede followed up and volleyed the ball towards Sevilla's goal. The goalkeeper, Palop, pounced to block the ball!
Real Madrid's offense in the frontline began to flow smoothly, but Sevilla's counterattack was also a strong threat.
In the 25th minute of the game, Marcelo assisted in the frontline to receive Van Der Vaart's pass. He and Snede's one-two combination did not work. Adriano intercepted the ball and passed it straight ahead. Navas quickly dribbled along the right flank to advance the offense.
And he quickly crossed the ball at a 45-degree angle on the flank.
A half-high ball bypassed Cannavaro's back. Kanouté, who was in front of Pepe, cut diagonally to Pepe's right side. After the football flew over, Pepe tried to knock Kanouté away, but he was blocked. Then Kanouté received the ball in front of the goal and shot with his foot. The football flew cleanly into the bottom right corner of the goal!
2:0！
Sevilla led Real Madrid by two goals at home!
Casillas was furious this time.
If it was any other time, it would be fine. It was numbing when the rear defensive line went wrong.
But on the eve of the El Clásico, the team's rear defensive line performed so badly. How could he continue to remain silent?
He almost made an angry hitting motion towards Pepe. After waving his arms, he shouted at Pepe, "How can you let him finish the shot so easily? If you want to give up the game, if you don't want to play, take off your jersey! "
Pepe had rarely argued with his teammates for a long time, but Real Madrid's rear defensive line had been criticized this season. In addition, he had been watched by the media. When he joined Real Madrid for an outrageous 30 million euros, as long as he did not perform well, the media would label him as a fake or dig deeper into the scandal behind his transfer.
The long-term repression caused him to explode in silence. He opened his hands to Casillas and argued, "Why are you always talking about me and not daring to criticize him?"
The "him" that Pepe was referring to was naturally Cannavaro.
Along with Cannavaro's performance, which was sometimes good and sometimes bad, he wanted to renew his contract with Real Madrid but was ruthlessly ignored by the club. Whether he could stay at the Bernabéu at the end of the season was already very pessimistic by the outside world.
There were contradictions within Real Madrid, and it was at the crucial rear defensive line. The huge pressure caused many concealed or hidden contradictions to begin to surface. The silencer chose the most inappropriate time to erupt!
Five minutes after this episode, something that shocked the Spanish football world and even the European football world happened!
In the 31st minute of the game, Qin Xiong broke through from the right side and attracted at least three Sevilla players to block his passing route.
Qin Xiong still made the best choice. He passed the ball to the top of the arc in front of the penalty area. Van Der Vaart, who plugged in from behind, volleyed with his left foot, which was blocked by the defender Prieto!
Sevilla got a very good chance to fight back. The football that rolled to Duscher's feet was kicked to the front field by him. Renato, who rushed up, sent a fatal straight pass.
Perotti cut inside the penalty area strongly. Only one person blocked in front of him.
Pepe!
