If Real Madrid conceded a goal, the fans would naturally feel very painful and uncomfortable.
But it still depended on the situation.
If an ordinary opponent scored a goal, the anger would be a little bit.
But if an arch-enemy like Atlético Madrid or Barcelona scored a goal, then the pain would skyrocket, and the anger index would be close to exploding.
And once the goal was scored by a "traitor" or "suspected traitor" in the arch-enemy camp, the fans would completely lose their minds.
Eto 'o was not equivalent to a traitor like José Enrique who went to Barcelona on a free transfer or Figo who was directly taken away from Camp Nou by Real Madrid.
It was just that Eto 'o did not hide his hatred for Real Madrid, unlike Figo or Enrique, who rarely mentioned it after they turned around and left.
This made Real Madrid ponder whether they could buy Eto 'o back. After the proposal came up, it was immediately opposed by the fans and fiercely rejected by the locker room.
One could imagine what the emotions of the Real Madrid fans would be like after Eto 'o scored a goal.
He would not have any regrets or disappointment. He would think that if he had not left Real Madrid that year, Real Madrid would have had a striker with superior strength.
But it was hatred and contempt that penetrated to the bone.
They looked down on the ungracious abandoned child and hated that he did not know how to repay kindness.
In the eyes of the Real Madrid fans, even if the club did not give Eto 'o a chance to make a name for himself in the European football world, they were still indebted to the club for nurturing him. It was Real Madrid who brought the 16-year-old Eto' o to Europe and let him wear the shirt of a powerhouse club that most players dreamed of.
And the result?
This heartless child harbored a grudge in his heart. After leaving, he turned to his arch-enemy for a few years. This might be justifiable. After all, everyone had their own aspirations and could not be forced. Barcelona was, after all, the top club in Europe. But to humiliate Real Madrid again and again and speak rudely, this was unacceptable to the Real Madrid fans!
So, after Eto 'o scored, the Bernabéu was full of boos. Before kickoff, the boos stopped and turned into louder cheers.
The Real Madrid fans needed the team to come up with a better performance to fight back against Barcelona!
We can't let Barcelona strut around in Bernabéu!
Before kickoff, Qin Xiong said to Van Der Vaart and Snede, "Move back a little deeper. Show off your ability to pass accurately from medium to long distances!"
Since they wanted to play defense and counterattack, they had to play with a decent effect. Real Madrid often could not pull their faces down. As long as they were a little more conservative, the players would not feel awkward, but they would feel embarrassed!
Compared to the humiliation of having the door broken by the opponent, what was a conservative attitude?
Take a look at Chelsea. Guardiola called them "a team that doesn't want to score goals," but they still received a lot of praise from the media after achieving good results.
Real Madrid's defense was better than before the second goal was conceded because the formation compressed the space better.
In the 35th minute of the game, Messi once again tried to suddenly accelerate and break through, but after passing Van Der Vaart and Marcelo, the ball was destroyed by Las Diarra.
Three minutes later, Xavi plugged in from the back to receive Messi's pass and completed the shot. The football was directly held by Casillas.
Xavi's shot was a little on point.
Casillas immediately launched a counterattack after holding the football. He rushed forward with the football in his hands, and Barcelona's players immediately retreated when they saw it.
At this time, Snede ran back instead and received the rolling ball thrown by Casillas in a safe zone.
In a relaxed ball handling environment, Snede looked up to observe the situation in the front field.
Barcelona's attacking players had not retreated to the half of the field, especially Xavi. He actually participated in the defense very frequently in the midfield. He could not retreat to the back waist line, which would bring a certain hidden danger to Barcelona's midfield defense.
Snede passed an over-the-top ball, and the football flew over the midfield and fell into the dangerous offensive area in the front field.
Qin Xiong received it with his back, and Yaya Touré rushed from behind him. When the football fell, Qin Xiong first used his chest to stop the ball and Yaya Touré closed in.
Qin Xiong used his thigh to take a step back, and Yaya Touré immediately took another step forward. But after Qin Xiong used his thigh to take a step back, he suddenly used his foot to kick the ball behind him after the football fell!
At the same time, Qin Xiong exploded and turned around!
Yaya Touré suddenly realized that he had been tricked!
Qin Xiong used his thigh to take a step back to let Yaya Touré's body center of gravity habitually move forward, and Qin Xiong took the initiative to kick the ball behind him to complete the turn, which caught him off guard.
In the explosion of sudden stops and turns, perhaps only Messi could keep up with Qin Xiong's rhythm. But this did not mean that Messi could mark Qin Xiong, just as Qin Xiong could not mark Messi. After all, offense and defense were two different technical abilities.
After the backside kick, Qin Xiong faced the falling football and kicked it diagonally. The target seemed to be very obvious, and that was Piqué!
Piqué was a little frightened. In such a situation, once Real Madrid was able to counterattack, Barcelona's defensive line would almost be faced with a ferocious beast that was charging at them!
This was different from Messi's continuous overruns in a small area, which did not completely rely on speed. But when Qin Xiong rushed up, almost no one in Barcelona could stop him. The key was that if they could not stop him, there was no other way except to foul.
Puyol moved closer to Piqué, ready to assist him at any time.
Piqué himself was ready to foul.
Raúl was originally between Piqué and Puyol. Before and after Qin Xiong dribbled the ball into the penalty area, Raúl suddenly moved horizontally in front of Puyol.
Then at this time, Qin Xiong's foot kicked the ball out.
He passed a ball to Raúl under his foot.
Puyol suddenly woke up and pointed his right hand at Alves. He wanted Alves to be careful and quickly finish closing the door to defend!
He predicted that Real Madrid's next attack could be extremely fatal!
Sure enough!
After Qin Xiong kicked the ball out, he did not attack Piqué's defensive area. Instead, he attacked Puyol and Alves' sides!
Originally, Alves and Puyol maintained a good defensive distance, but Puyol consciously helped Piqué earlier to prevent Piqué from being penetrated, which caused the distance between Alves and Puyol to widen.
Alves quickly moved to Puyol's side. Just as he was about to finish closing the door to defend, Qin Xiong rushed through the gap. At the same time, Raúl passed the ball with his foot!
Qin Xiong led the ball into the penalty area and went in alone!
He did not give Valdés the slightest chance to react. He took the ball and stepped forward. His right leg swayed slightly and blasted out a shot!
With a strong rotation, the football drew a parabola less than two meters above the ground and fell into the inside of the far post of the goal!
The goal was scored in one go!
