Chapter 118 Six Battles to Sanctify ([-])

A football game where a strong team meets a weak team is not like a game where high-level players can easily crush low-level players.

Football has no ranks,

Football is round!
Capsizing in the gutter on the court is common!

Winning the strong with the weak and conquering the strong with softness is not only Wudang's unique skill, but also a trick for weak teams to survive.

This season, Mallorca head coach Manzano borrowed striker Maxi Lopez from Barcelona based on his own weaknesses, and let him serve as the center to strengthen the offensive point in the middle and enrich the offensive routines.

Buy the former Atletico Madrid player Ibagaza to sit in the midfield, install the Audi engine in the Alto car, and strengthen the shortcomings in the lineup. The effect is immediate. The millennium relegation team has become a mid-range team with nothing to worry about this year. team.

But Real Madrid didn't realize the difficulty of this game, and still looked at it with the old eyes of last season, and the big-hearted Capello also used it to test new lineups and new styles of play.

Mallorca almost scored in the opening minute. Ibagaza crossed the penalty area from the right, and Maxi Lopez stepped in to outflank it. Fortunately, Ramos took the lead to make a clearance.

In the 7th minute, Mallorca intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and quickly organized a counterattack. Ibagaza sent a long oblique pass. Maxi Lopez inserted a volley and the ball was confiscated by Casillas.

In the 10th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy leaned on Basinas at the front of the penalty area and passed the ball to the center of the penalty area. Xia Qi saw that he was full of people at close range and shot across to Higuain who was in a better position.

Higuain, who is on the bench and played less well with Xia Qi of the main team, played a half-court goal in the last game. I don’t know Xia Qi’s true temperament and heart to heart, how could he not shoot near the penalty spot?
Measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, such a distraction did not touch the ball at the first time, the ball was shoveled out of the penalty area by No. 7 Varela, the core midfielder of the Mallorca team, but the ball did not go far Van Nistelrooy hit the ball with an angry shot slightly above the lintel.

Van Nistelrooy is still more suitable to stay in the small penalty area. The long-range shot from outside the large penalty area is unacceptable. This ball did not reach the level of a world-class shooter.

In the 13th minute, Real Madrid made consecutive crosses and vertical passes in front of the opponent's goal, but they couldn't get the space to kick and shoot.Mallorca's 10-man team squeezed into the narrow penalty area, making it impossible for Real Madrid to talk like a hedgehog.

In the 19th minute, Diarra made a long pass to Higuain. The latter stopped the ball beautifully and flashed past the defender to form a breakthrough. A low shot from the corner of the small penalty area was blocked by goalkeeper Moya with his foot.

Xia Qi took a corner kick, wiped the ball clean with his jersey, observed the Mallorca players' positions, and stretched out four fingers to his teammates. Ramos and Cannavaro would stand behind and point.

The corner kick was taken to the back point, Qiankun Da Nuo passed the ball and accurately found Ramos in the crowd. Brother Shui, who had been prepared for a long time, jumped high and vigorously headed the goal, and the ball popped out of the crossbar impartially.

Ramos shook his head in disappointment, what a chance!The goalkeeper didn't have time to react at all, if he shot the ball in the goal frame, the ball would be there.When running back, he gave Xia Qi a thumbs up to express his thanks.

In the 22nd minute, Hector Mallorca knocked Maxi Lopez horizontally. The Argentine striker fired a heavy kick 20 meters away from the goal, and the ball flew out of the baseline.

Xia Qi discovered that this Argentine striker has eighteen kinds of weapons in his arsenal. He can shoot from long distances, cut inside, has speed and footwork. Isn't this the me who used to play as a striker?
In the 27th minute, Diarra was brought down by Jordi. The referee gave Jordi a verbal warning but did not draw the card and awarded the visiting team a free kick.

The position of the free kick was nearly 40 meters away from the goal. Xia Qi's free kick was not easy to take. Xia Qi pointed out a finger to his teammates and told them to play the No. [-] free kick tactic.

The ball passed into the penalty area, and Diarra turned his head and shot at Mochizuki, and was embraced by the brave goalkeeper Moya.

In the 33rd minute, Cannavaro, who has always been stable like a dog, made a defensive mistake in the backcourt. After being attacked by Maxi Lopez and stealing the ball, he made a collision with Ibagaza and scored. In the penalty area, it's a pity that he hastily kicked and shot without direction.

Xia Qi, the scavenger of the ball, passed the ball to himself in the frontcourt and waited for the backcourt, so he couldn't defend Cannavaro at all, and Casillas had to face a one-on-two shot from the small penalty area, which was equivalent to a girl It's like taking off your clothes and spreading your legs without locking the door.

At such a dangerous moment, the Argentine's soft feet at the critical moment allowed Real Madrid to escape.

Capello, who was outside the court, yelled at Cannavaro in Italian angrily. Xia Qi couldn't understand but knew that everyone was not well prepared before the game today. He thought that he could easily get three points, but he would encounter desperate resistance.

Everyone knows that as long as a goal can be scored in this situation, the situation will be opened immediately, and Mallorca will become a fish on the chopping board.

Maybe God heard Real Madrid's wish, and Real Madrid won another corner kick in the 35th minute.

This is a good opportunity to break the deadlock. You still have to trust the striker to score a goal. After observing, Xia Qi felt that Higuain's position at the back point was better. He gave it to the back point again, and the ball was passed to Higuain about [-] centimeters in front of him. , it is very convenient for Higuain to volley, but tonight Moya has the goddess of victory to throw the ball into his arms.

In the 37th minute, Mallorca made consecutive inversions in the frontcourt. Ibagasa made a wonderful pass to the right rib of the penalty area. Barrera followed up with an angry shot and missed it, which once again made Real Madrid break out in a cold sweat.

In the 39th minute, Ibagaza made a pass from the left, and Gutierrez made a shovel shot, but Xia Qi, who took the lead, grabbed the ball first.

Xia Qi dribbled the ball forward and made a tit for tat pass to the right side of the penalty area. Da Luo, who had been missing for the entire game, suddenly shot out from nowhere and snatched a good pass from Xia Qi to Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the penalty area.

Then when I was rushing forward, I slipped and fell. Facing a technical team like Real Madrid, Mallorca must have sprinkled water on the lawn before the game, but no matter how slippery you are, you can’t slip at a critical moment. You must know that you are a famous and frightening alien.

Capello and the substitute players on the sidelines hid their faces and did not dare to look directly at them. Tonight's Real Madrid is under a spell. The bigger the name, the more "cute".

Xia Qi and Fan Ni were also very helpless, forced smiles and stepped forward to comfort Da Luo who was about to cry.

In the 42nd minute, Gutierrez made a fake move before the penalty area to get rid of Elguera and took a long shot. Casillas struggled to save the ball.

At this time, the referee added 5 minutes of stoppage time in the first half.

In the 47th minute, Elguera made a long pass from the backcourt. Ruud van Nistelrooy suddenly moved forward after pulling horizontally.In the 49th minute, Maxi Lopez took a long shot from the outside and played weakly. Casillas confiscated the ball.

Then the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Looking at the first half of the game, in fact, Real Madrid played very well in several offenses, but they forgot to wear shooting boots, and their defense was also very good. With Xia Qi as a scavenger to defend, Mallorca could not enter the penalty area. Only frequent long-range shots can threaten Real Madrid's goal.

It's just that for a strong team like Real Madrid, a [-]-[-] tie with last season's relegation team is a loss.

The whole team followed the coaching staff into the locker room dejectedly.
