Di Maria stayed close to the right wing and saw Toni Kroos' long pass coming over. He instinctively recalled the coach's pre-match instructions, which he was familiar with from his time at Naples.
It's just that in the past three years at Real Madrid, the coach's requirements have changed, and he has become a bit rusty.
But he still steadily stopped the ball with his chest and did not rush forward.
Mathieu was not far in front of him.
The Argentine skillfully controlled the ball with his left foot. When Mathieu stepped forward, he chose to bring it back diagonally to the center. At the same time, he also shouted to Arbeloa behind him, signaling him to come forward quickly.
Valencia adjusted quickly, and both Gago and Guardado quickly retreated, forcing Di Maria to bring the ball back in the ribs, but he quickly distributed the ball to the right.
With no one on guard, Arbeloa took the ball forward with long strides, but Mathieu returned to his position in time.
The Spanish right back made an emergency stop to protect the ball, and saw Modric from the side running over to get the ball, but Di Maria had already retreated.
The Argentinian is now more of a full-back.
Arbeloa didn't think much and immediately passed the ball to Modric.
Between Gago and Guardado, Modric did not stop the ball, touched the ball and pushed the ball to the unguarded Di Maria.
The Argentinian faced the center and looked up, especially at the positions of Cristiano Ronaldo and Yin Guain.
After stopping Modric's pass to the center with his left foot, before Guardado could get closer, he quickly kicked the ball over the top of his body.
Di Maria's pass was very clever, and Yin Guayin also understood it. He countered offside almost at the same time, got rid of the two central defenders of Valencia, went straight into the penalty area, and scored near the penalty spot.
, took a kick and stopped the ball.
As soon as the ball stopped, the Argentinian striker took another shot.
The ball passed goalkeeper Diego Alves halfway through the shot and went straight into the goal.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
!
!
"
"In the 11th minute, Real Madrid scored first!"
"This is Real Madrid's first goal of the new season, coming from Argentine striker Yin Guaín!"
The passion of the entire Bernabeu Stadium was ignited in an instant.
More than 74,000 Real Madrid fans, shouting at the top of their lungs, instantly filled the sky above the Bernabeu.
After Yin Guayin scored, everyone rushed out of the stadium to celebrate.
This is Real Madrid's first goal of the new season.
"The goal came very suddenly."
"Real Madrid originally launched an offensive on the right, but Toni Kroos's long pass caused trouble for Valencia's defense on the left. Di Maria's overhead pass was very clever."
"We can see that Real Madrid's current offense is still very thoughtful."
"Especially on both wings and in the half."
…
The goal is coming!
Gao Shen also raised his hands high and cheered vigorously for the players' goals.
But in his heart, he was still dissatisfied.
Not for this goal, but for the whole scene.
Real Madrid made too many mistakes and played disorganized.
Many things basically don't pose a threat.
Valencia's defense was actually not well organized. They did a good job of pressing and pressing from a high position, but there was a huge gap behind them, but Real Madrid failed to seize the opportunity. Otherwise, they wouldn't have scored until now.
In the first round of the new season, neither team did well, which is understandable.
But Gao Shen's biggest headache right now is the team's organization and offense.
With this kind of offensive intensity alone, it will be difficult to break through Valencia's goal again.
…
The game seemed to confirm the profound prediction.
With Real Madrid's goal, the team began to stabilize its position, but the offense was still not ideal.
There are many mistakes in passing and receiving, the players lack tacit understanding, and their cooperation is relatively unfamiliar. These are all problems.
Although Real Madrid subsequently created some opportunities continuously, they were never able to score again.
The most thrilling scene in the first half was that Valencia got a free kick on the right, which is Real Madrid's left, and sent it into the penalty area.
The landing point is probably near the penalty spot, which is generally outside the control of the goalkeeper.
But just when Pepe and Ramos were about to grab it, they heard Courtois shouting very domineeringly, "I'll do it!"
I saw the Belgian goalkeeper rushing out of the goal as if he were a god descending from heaven. He jumped up high, grabbed the ball in front of the Valencia players, and reached out to pluck the ball from mid-air.
After landing, the Belgian goalkeeper quickly threw the ball directly to Arbeloa on the right, signaling him to quickly launch an attack.
At this time, Real Madrid's defense became somewhat sober.
Throughout the first half, Courtois had no chance to perform, and he was probably too busy to panic.
But rushing directly to the penalty spot to grab the ball, this control range is large enough, and I am confident enough in my speed and ability.
This guy is not simple!
…
During the halftime break, Gao Shen was satisfied with the team's performance.
At this time, he couldn't say he was dissatisfied.
But he also encouraged the players to continue to adhere to this style of play, run more and respond more, pass and receive faster, and consider the angle of the response, not only for themselves to receive the ball, but also for their teammates to pass the ball.
Real Madrid's problems are still quite big now, but they are problems that require long-term accumulation and cannot be solved in a short time.
Gao Shen's attitude is still very pragmatic, focusing on defense first.
"In the first half, we only gave Valencia two chances to shoot, and none of them were on target, which is very good."
"We must continue our efforts in the second half, and especially pay attention to playing two more wings and ribs."
With that said, Gao Shen pointed at Yin Guayin again, indicating that he should pull out more and come to the ribs to cooperate with his teammates.
The Argentinian's scoring efficiency is really high. He seized the opportunity in the first half.
On this point, there really is nothing to say.
But from a tactical perspective, he seems a bit too thin.
If the forward center can play more tactical roles, Real Madrid's offense can create more opportunities.
…
After changing sides in the second half, Real Madrid basically continued the situation of the first half.
He used his serve to control the situation smoothly.
But once they entered Valencia's half, especially the 30-meter area, they were immediately chased and intercepted by the bat army. Passing and receiving errors began to increase, and the offensive effect was greatly reduced.
When the score of 1-0 lasted for 60 minutes, Gao Shen finally failed to calm down and took the lead in making a substitution.
No. 9 Benzema was used to replace No. 20 goal scorer Yin Guayin.
The Argentinian seemed very clear that Gao Shen was not satisfied with his performance.
The reason is very simple. He did not actively seek cooperation with his teammates as Gao Shen thought, or in other words, the cooperation effect was not ideal.
Gao Shen still smiled and comforted Yin Guayin, and promised to let him start in the next league game, telling him not to be discouraged and keep working hard. The Argentine felt a little relieved.
At least the head coach is willing to give him a chance.
But soon, his heart couldn't let go.
Less than four minutes after Benzema came on the field, Real Madrid lost the ball in an attack on the right, but immediately launched a counterattack and forced Valencia's counterattack out of bounds. Mathieu's inbounds ball was blocked by Aveiro
Ya gave it a push and came back.
Xabi Alonso pushed forward again and handed the ball to Di Maria on the wing.
Di Maria dribbled the ball laterally and cut inside, and passed it to the front rib.
At this time, the role of the center appears.
Benzema withdrew in time and used his body to hold the central defender Luis in the ribs. After stopping the ball, he saw Modric moving quickly in front of him, diagonally crossing the right sideline of the outside, trying to get the ball in the middle.
The defensive forces are stretched out.
So, after stopping the ball, Benzema passed the ball to Modric.
The Croatian midfielder quickly moved the ball to the right, pulling Gago away.
At this time, there was a gap in the right front of Valencia's entire penalty area, and Di Maria, who had just passed to Benzema, suddenly accelerated, moved forward at the fastest speed, and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Modric got the ball back in time from the wing.
In the penalty area, one of Valencia's central defenders was pushed out by Benzema, while the other central defender, Costa, and the right back, Pereira, were guarding against Ronaldo.
The Portuguese has moved to the center.
Di Maria dribbled the ball forward quickly and rushed to the right side of the arc in front of the penalty area, attracting the two defensive players Pereira and Costa to his side, and suddenly distributed the ball with his left foot.
Cristiano Ronaldo on the left side of the penalty area was unguarded. He stopped, adjusted, and started to play again.
The ball went directly into the lower left corner of Valencia's goal.
Goalkeeper Diego Alves was beyond reach.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
!
!”
"Ronaldo!
!”
"Real Madrid wins again, 2-0!"
…
If this goal did not reflect Real Madrid's offensive threat well, then the quick counterattack in the 73rd minute fully demonstrated it.
After Real Madrid's attack was interrupted by Valencia, they launched a quick counterattack.
But when the ball was in the 30-meter area of Real Madrid, Xavi Alonso, Toni Kroos, and Marcos Alonso teamed up to successfully defend and intercept the ball.
Xabi Alonso quickly made a diagonal pass to the ground and moved to the space on the right side of the frontcourt.
Benzema had already retreated and found this area to receive the ball. He turned around and led forward, and passed diagonally to Ronaldo in the middle.
After the Portuguese retreated from Benzema's side, he quickly occupied the team's center, but always kept a distance from Valencia's defense.
After Benzema passed the ball, the Portuguese followed the trend and completed a one-two with Benzema. He quickly moved forward and came to the right side of Valencia's penalty area, ready to move forward at any time.
The French forward distributed the ball to the left and handed it to Toni Kroos. He quickly crossed into the left front and took away the attention of the defensive player in front of Toni Kroos.
As soon as the German midfielder stopped the ball and made adjustments, he already had a clear idea of the situation ahead.
He quickly made a diagonal pass with his right foot and accurately delivered the ball to the back of the goal.
I saw Cristiano Ronaldo, who was already ready to go, sprinting forward at the fastest speed, leaping high, facing Toni Kroos's diagonal pass, overwhelming the surrounding defensive players, and heading the ball
Attacked the goal and hit the far corner.
Goalkeeper Diego Alves fought hard to save, but was out of reach.
The ball hit the net.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
!
!”
"C Ronaldo scored twice!"
"Three to zero!"
"My God, after the substitutions in the second half, Real Madrid's offense became more threatening."
