916 Who said that the one covered in mud is not a prince?
September 30, Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Madrid.
In the sixth round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced newly promoted Mala Coruña at home.
From the moment the players walked into the stadium, Gao Shen created a big surprise for all Real Madrid fans.
They saw the long-awaited, familiar No. 8 jersey.
"We saw that referee Gamez led the starting players of both teams into the stadium."
"In the queue of Real Madrid, we saw the familiar No. 8 player, Kaká!"
"God, Kaka starts again."
"We can hear the fans at the Bernabeu chanting Kaká's name. Obviously they are full of expectations for the Brazilian superstar."
"And Real Madrid's starting lineup tonight is indeed a bit surprising."
"They didn't send all their main force."
Goalkeeper: Courtois.
Defence: Marcelo, Pepe, Varane and Carvajal.
Midfielder: Casemiro is behind, and in front is the combination of Kaká and Verratti.
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Yin Guayin and Di Maria.
In addition, Vazquez, Jese, Morata and other players were all on the bench, and Benzema was not even included in the squad.
"It can be seen that Gao Shen did not pay special attention to Deportivo in this game."
"It's really surprising, because before the game, many people speculated that Deportivo was capable of causing trouble for Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, but now Real Madrid doesn't seem to pay attention to their opponents at all."
"Perhaps Oltra's team should consider causing some trouble for Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium."
"Deportivo still starts with their best four, two, three and one."
"Now, let's see if Deportivo can suppress Real Madrid."
"The game is about to start."
…
Deportivo took the lead.
After kicking out of the center circle, they kicked the ball directly back to the back line.
Marchena made a long pass to the frontcourt.
As expected, I was looking for Ricky.
But Real Madrid were well prepared. Pepe made a decisive move and beat Riqui to head the ball back.
The ball was pushed back into Real Madrid's half by Deportivo La Coruna. Marcelo's defense on the left forced Deportivo to cross to the center.
Kaka retreated to the edge of the penalty area and assisted Casemiro in cutting off Deportivo's passing line, forcing the opponent to pass the ball sideways, but Marcelo took the lead and intercepted the ball.
Real Madrid wanted to launch a counterattack, but failed. Marcelo passed back decisively.
Continuous passes in the midfield and back, especially Verratti and Kaka, continued to pass back and forth to control the rhythm.
This is also Gao Shen's arrangement before the game.
When playing against Deportivo La Coruna at home, there is no need to rush the opponent.
The opponent is not that strong. Even if Real Madrid does not try its best, it still has a strength advantage. Why bother to fight with the opponent?
Be steady and patiently look for opportunities.
Tonight, Real Madrid's midfield has changed. All three players have been replaced, and with it comes a change in tactics.
Kaká often runs to the left rib and wing to cooperate with Ronaldo and Marcelo, Verratti is positioned further back, and Di Maria often cuts inside, leaving the right wing for Carvajal.
The Real Madrid full-back plays very high forward, often even higher than Di Maria.
This tactical play also brought Real Madrid the first shot.
In the sixth minute, Di Maria's long shot from the right rib was a cross from Carvajal, but unfortunately, it failed to score.
Di Maria was still the same as last time, running to the left when he had the opportunity.
This can easily form a left-side attack by Di Maria, Marcelo, Kaká and Ronaldo. These players are also players with excellent skills at their feet, which puts a lot of pressure on Deportivo.
.
But often when a flaw is revealed on the right, Real Madrid immediately makes a big move.
In the tenth minute, Real Madrid made a large-scale shift from the left, allowing Carvajal to receive the pass on the right side of the 30-meter zone.
After Yin Guayin ran over to take over, Carvajal tried to cut inside and asked Yin Guayin for a one-two match. The Argentinian did not understand the intention in time and lost the ball, resulting in a beautiful offensive coordination.
But Verratti entangled Juan Domingos in midfield and stole the ball back.
Kaka reacted the fastest, stepped forward quickly, took the ball forward, launched a counterattack on the spot, and rushed to the front of the penalty area with the ball.
Although the Brazilian's speed is gone, his ability to dribble is still there, and his ability to control the ball is very strong. With this wave of dribbling, the defensive player has no way to make a move.
After Kaka saw Ronaldo in position, he decisively sent a through ball.
I saw the Portuguese quickly countered the offside, broke into the left side of the penalty area, hit the goal with his left foot, and sent the ball into the lower left corner.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!
!
!
"
"In the first ten minutes, Real Madrid scored first!"
"Kaka assisted Ronaldo to score!"
The entire Bernabeu stadium cheered.
The Portuguese greeted Kaka, and the two quickly ran to the sidelines to celebrate, and other Real Madrid players followed one by one.
Gao Shen also applauded loudly for the cooperation of the two players on the sidelines.
Although Carvajal and Verratti took the most credit for this goal, everyone only noticed the shining stars.
As the head coach, Gao Shen specifically mentioned the names of Verratti and Carvajal.
…
After Real Madrid scored the first goal, everyone seemed to see Real Madrid's victory.
But who could have imagined that just five minutes later, Deportivo made an attack that even they had no hope of, passing the ball to center Ricky at the front of the penalty area.
At that time, Real Madrid's entire defensive formation was already in place, and Riqui was flanked by Real Madrid's two central defenders.
What people didn't expect was that Varane took a risk when making a tackle. The timing and position were completely wrong, and the tackle was completely empty.
Of course, Riqui would not miss such an opportunity. He passed the ball past Varane, blocked Pepe with his body, and then scored easily.
One to one!
There was an uproar at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Varane held his head in despair with both hands.
He really didn't know what happened to him just now. Did he have a brain cramp?
Courtois shouted angrily at Varane, and Pepe came over and slapped Varane hard on the face, signaling him to wake up and stop getting lost in the lake.
Such a mistake is really, really bad.
Gao Shen also showed a depressed and helpless look, and turned to look at Zidane on the coaching bench, who shook his head.
too young.
He is only nineteen years old!
"It's okay, it's okay! Cheer up and pay attention!"
Gao Shen's shouts from the sidelines reached the ears of the players inside the stadium.
"Pepe, keep an eye on him."
"In front, attack! Attack! Attack!
!”
Gao Shen's encouragement soon showed its effect. Just three minutes after losing the ball, Marcelo advanced the ball to the 30-meter area, suddenly cut inside, and passed diagonally to find Ronaldo, who had switched positions in front of the striker. As a result,
The opponent's defender took the first step and blocked it.
The ball fell to Verratti's feet. After the Italian midfielder glanced ahead, he decisively sent a diagonal pass to the left rib of the penalty area.
Ronaldo is already at the front, who can insert into the left rib?
Di Maria!
I saw the Argentine running forward at great speed, catching up with Verratti's pass before everyone else, and shooting directly with his left foot.
The ball went over the head of goalkeeper Alan Subia and fell into the goal behind.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
!
!
"
"Two to one! Real Madrid takes the lead again!"
"In just three minutes, Di Maria scored another victory for Real Madrid!"
The cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium rang out again.
Almost all Real Madrid fans are cheering for Di Maria.
The Argentinian has really performed very well this season. Whether on the left or right, he is the most threatening player, and he can even play in the midfield.
Just four minutes after the goal, a long diagonal pass from Verratti sent the ball to the left side of the frontcourt.
Di Maria jumped in at high speed, got ahead of the defensive player, stopped the ball, and faced the full-back who returned to defense in time. In a one-on-one situation, Di Maria dribbled the ball into the penalty area, but was beaten by the opponent's central defender Caster.
Luo committed a foul and fell in the penalty area.
The referee awarded the penalty kick without hesitation.
The Bernabeu Stadium is boiling again.
But what really surprised Real Madrid fans was that when everyone thought that Ronaldo, who was eager to score goals, would definitely do his part, the Portuguese not only did not go up, but pushed Kaká up.
For a moment, the Bernabeu Stadium burst into thunderous applause again.
All Real Madrid fans were cheering and appreciating Ronaldo's actions.
Gao Shen, the coaching bench, and everyone on the bench also applauded.
"As the team's top penalty taker, Ronaldo gave up the right to take the penalty at this time and reciprocated to help Kaka score. It is indeed a very admirable behavior."
"Kaká really needs this goal now to help him regain his confidence."
After the Brazilian midfielder hugged Ronaldo, he walked to the penalty spot, and Real Madrid players also came over one by one, hugged Kaká, and cheered him on.
I saw Kaka slowly retreating after placing the ball. After the referee blew the whistle, he quickly ran forward and scored the ball accurately in one move.
Three to one!
After scoring the goal, Kaka rushed out of the stadium excitedly and ran all the way, venting his inner depression and all negative emotions.
He was once the most noble prince on the planet, but now, he has sunk into the quagmire, covered in mud, and can no longer be noble. No one can understand this gap.
It's as if no one can feel that in the past few years, every time he has been in the tunnel or in the stands, watching his teammates play, he is full of envy, but he still has to smile, cheer for their goals and their wonderful performances.
Cheers, what a feeling that is.
No one desires to fly again more than he does, but he can never fly again!
He paid the price for his original choice!
But now, he is eager to find his place again in this Real Madrid team.
Even if this is not a position he is willing to accept or a position he is good at.
Even if he really wants to leave Real Madrid, he will never want to leave as a loser in this way!
For him, this is his only remaining dignity and his last pride!
