Chapter 116: Everyone Looks Like a Dragon to Me (6)
Although Real Madrid won the past two games against Malaga and Atletico Madrid, Zidane knew very well: the win was a fluke!
If it weren't for Wang Ai's outstanding performance, the other Real Madrid players would not have been able to win given the physical and mental state of the other players at that time, especially against Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid looks at the world, but Atletico Madrid only looks at this small area of Madrid, and its research on Real Madrid is comparable to Real Madrid
Having studied Atletico Madrid much more thoroughly, Simeone hit Real Madrid's weaknesses as soon as he made a move.
As a result, Zidane made in-depth adjustments for a week. It happened that Benzema was injured in training, so when facing the 27th round opponent Laiwante, he pushed Wang Ai to the front line to play center and sent in young player Lucas
Forming a three-point forward with two super giant partners, Casemiro finally returned to the attacking midfielder position.
In the live broadcast at LaVante's home court starting at 9pm, when Real Madrid's starting lineup was announced, the Spanish TV football commentator immediately analyzed: "Real Madrid's internal competition is too fierce, so the stars do not dare to get injured, which invisibly weakens them."
The competitiveness on the field was reduced. If it were not for the unpredictable planning of the Chinese super giant, Zidane's Real Madrid would have suffered a major embarrassment. Judging from the starting lineup of this game, the French recognized the problem and sent
Lucas, who has rarely played this season, will definitely work hard for his starting position and improve Real Madrid's overall toughness."
Shi Wenjun, who accompanied Wang Ai, had few things to do today. Because the game was already in the middle of the night in China, he didn't need to pay too much attention to the network response, so he was holding a small TV in his hand and listened to the commentator's comments completely. After going through it in his mind
He expressed his approval, because Zidane had a private conversation with Wang Ai this Thursday. It didn't last long, but he already expressed his thoughts. The filming of Lucas was indeed to strengthen the toughness.
When Wang Ai went home and repeated this passage to Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai, he joked: "This is not a conversation between the head coach and the players, it is more like an old friend complaining about a bad job."
Xiaobai responded: "You have the ability to ignore Lucas during the game?"
After the game started, Lucas was indeed very active, and even went deep into the center of the Wante penalty area to "occupy" Wang Ai's position. Wang Ai also had a really good mentality. When Lucas came to him frequently, the two people's positions overlapped.
Later, he actually asked him: "How about we switch positions? You know, I can also play on the wing, and my speed is okay."
Lucas was about to agree in a heartbeat, but he immediately remembered Qida's game arrangements before the civil war, so he shook his head with difficulty, smiled at Wang Ai with a sad face, and retreated to the side. Wang Ai expressed that he was really sorry.
However, Zidane's arrangement has its own reasons. Cristiano Ronaldo has been in mediocre form recently and has struggled to score goals. It is Wang Ai's continuous feeding that has kept the number of goals scored. Now that the young player is here, he has great impact.
But it is also unstable, so Wang Ai needs to play as a center forward, score a few goals steadily, and then talk about adjusting the hardness.
With a height of 192 centimeters and a weight of 90 kilograms, the versatile Wang Ai is undoubtedly more dangerous as he gets closer to the goal. After the excited Lucas calmed down, the first goal came in the 18th minute.
Assist from Lucas.
He opened up the passing angle with a change of pace on the wing and sent a high ball to the forward point. As the center, Wang Ai had already been waiting here with a keen sense of smell. Faced with this ball that was not fast and had a flat angle, Wang Ai
Ai jumped up slightly and rubbed his scalp.
This attack method was beyond the expectations of the Levent goalkeeper. He had already blocked the near corner, but the football fell lightly to the far corner. When he rolled and crawled to activate his desperate professionalism and made ineffective rescue actions, he
His teammates rushed into the goal and kicked the football out with a wonderful overhead kick.
Unfortunately, the linesman had already raised his flag: the football had crossed the goal line in the air!
"Beautiful! This ball was well played. It's worth watching it in the middle of the night!" Lao Bai, a guest commentator on the sports channel, praised it greatly.
"Have you ever scored a goal like this? In the 2007 Asian Cup qualifiers?" It was He Wei who was still following him.
"Hey, it's rare that someone still remembers it after ten years." Lao Bai couldn't close his mouth and said humbly: "No, no, I can't compare with him. It was a fluke that I scored.
Use your forehead to hit the near corner, so that the straight line distance is the shortest, the goalkeeper has the shortest reaction time, and the success rate is the highest."
"What about him?"
"It can only be said that he is a very brave person. He clearly judged the path of the ball the moment Lucas released it and made an instinctive decision. As we mentioned last time, he carefully observed the court.
As a result of the situation, he found that the goalkeeper was too close to him and the defenders around him were also looking at the near corner, so he chose the far corner."
"That is to say, you didn't jump high enough to score the goal in 2006, so you took a gamble. But his goal was completely intentional and goal-oriented, right?"
"Yes." Lao Bai said and then added: "I know many netizens are joking about me and saying that I am the number one player. This may also include those who are watching the game and listening to the commentary. But, whatever you say, I also say
yes!"
He Wei couldn't help but chuckled, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe: "You are breaking the fourth wall."
Before the conversation and laughter between the two had passed, the second goal suddenly appeared, so that neither of them had much reaction and exclaimed during the live broadcast: "Oh, this goal, this goal, look at what the referee means,
Okay, it counts, Wang Ai scored, he is already celebrating with his teammates! Let’s see it in slow motion, this is..."
He Wei took over the conversation: "Casemiro's pass was interfered by the competition with the opponent, so the ball was too big, and it went directly to the bottom line on the left side of Wante. Wang Ai, who was originally near the penalty spot,
Suddenly he sped up, threw away the opponent's defender, ran to the baseline, turned around, jumped up and blocked the ball, and then... eh?"
Lao Bai couldn't help but exclaim loudly: "Beautiful, beautiful! He didn't wait for the ball to land in the air and rubbed it with his left foot horizontally, because there were no teammates in front of the goal at this time, and there was a gap between the opponent's defender and the goalkeeper vertically.
There was a big gap, he rubbed the football in mid-air, and the football flew out in an incredible arc, passed through the gap between the two people, bypassed the goalkeeper, and spiraled into the door."
He Wei suppressed the excitement in his heart and listened to Lao Bai's ramble: "This is a banana ball, a banana ball in the air, instant play without any preparation, without comprehensive and perfect basic skills, a relaxed mentality and a love for football, it is impossible to complete it with imagination.
Such a feat!”
When Lao Bai heard this, he took over the conversation with a sigh that could be heard clearly by all the audience, and said briefly: "Be careful, they also say you are Wang Chui."
"But everything I said is true." He Wei felt aggrieved.
