Six Hundred and Thirty Raul!

Season 2: City of Caesar] 630 Raul!

----------

630 Raul!

The relationship between Valencia and Real Madrid is historically good. For Valencia, their number one rival in the league has always been Barcelona. Because they and Barcelona have different politics, culture and language, so the two The team always plays poorly.

However, since Mijatovic moved to Real Madrid with a contract break clause in 1996, the two clubs have completely developed a deep hatred. Sanz's handling of this transfer was indeed disgraceful. In Valencia's case, Mijatovic was obtained through a behind-the-scenes operation.

As for Valencia, they felt that they had suddenly lost their top star overnight. At that time, almost all Valencia fans hated Real Madrid, and Mijatovic performed well in Real Madrid. The better they get, the deeper their resentment towards Real Madrid becomes.

That's why it happened. In 2000, Real Madrid was willing to get Mendieta for a sky-high price of 60 million euros, but Valencia, which had just suffered a humiliating defeat in the final, sent their top star to Lazio for 48 million euros. It can be said that It's a three-lose transfer.

I have to admit that after Florentino came to power, Real Madrid's transfer operations did give people a better impression. Maybe he introduced the mainstays of various clubs, but basically one party is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy. , There is no forced buying or selling of things that you want to do, so Real Madrid's image in the transfer market and European football circles is also better.

In the past two seasons, the relationship between Real Madrid and Valencia has eased. First, Morientes transferred to the Bat Legion, and then David Silva was introduced from Valencia. The two transfers made the club's Relations have eased.

But on the court, the fans are still in opposition, and the players are still devoted to the game regardless of their own safety. Especially in La Liga last season, Valencia defeated Real Madrid 2:1 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, even causing Graveson to lose. The fact that Beckham received red cards one after another made the Bernabeu fans gnash their teeth with hatred and determined to take revenge.

In this game, Real Madrid got off to a smooth start. The team continued its aggressive offensive strategy and Villa took the lead in the 18th minute. However, Valencia's defense was not bad either. Del Horno and Morey The defense composed of Ti, Ayala and Miguel is also very strong.

In the midfield, Valencia's two traditional defensive midfielders have always been a sight in La Liga. Albelda and Baraja are known as one of the strongest defensive midfield combinations in La Liga. Previously, there was Wesson on the left. Specially, Joaquin was introduced on the right this season, and the Real Madrid combination of Morientes and Mista was placed at the forward.

Such a set of 442 two-wing tactics makes Valencia very competitive in La Liga, especially the arrival of Morientes. In such a set of two-wing tactics, his characteristics are fully utilized. , in the 57th minute, he received a cross from Joaquin in the middle after a breakthrough from the right, fought hard against Thuram, and succeeded with a header to equalize the score.

It was not the first time for Real Madrid to be scored by Morientes, and this time, the fans at the Bernabeu did not give much reaction, and many people could even be seen sighing.

After equalizing the score, Valencia continued its steady high-pressure anti-counterattack tactics, frequently using Joaquin and Vicente on the two wings to create threats. Real Madrid's offense was restrained by the opponent, and this game won Guti, who had the opportunity to start the game and assisted Villa in the opening goal, was now restricted by Valencia, who had been well prepared, and no longer had the charm of a golden substitute.

Time passed minute by minute, but Real Madrid still had nothing to do against Valencia, especially when Yang Cheng replaced Negredo in the 60th minute, obviously to target the air defense capabilities of Ayala and Moretti. We made a fuss about the deficiencies, but still had little effect.

"It seems that Yang Cheng has run out of tricks!" The on-site commentator felt that Real Madrid had few variables.

…………

…………

For professional head coaches, a football game is actually a tactical confrontation between you and me. Therefore, when they watch the game, football often does not have the same passion as when fans watch the game.

Yang Cheng has been the head coach for so many years. He has gradually changed from a passionate and personal head coach to the calm one he is now. For a fan, this is a kind of numbness, but for the head coach, this is a kind of numbness. But it is a necessary improvement, especially for top head coaches.

In addition to emotions, they also view problems differently from ordinary fans. They will be more sensible and rational, and may even give people the impression of being emotionless, because when they encounter problems, they must see it more clearly than the fans. through.

For example, since this game has developed so far, Real Madrid's offense still has not improved after Negredo came on the field. What is the reason?

Ordinary fans will think that Negredo is a loser. He failed to adjust well several times when he took the ball. One of his hurried shots did not hit the right spot. He made no changes at all after coming on as a substitute. It was a failure.

But in Yang Cheng's view, the problem is not like this.

When he played Negredo, he wanted to hit the high point. Ayala and Moretti are both good at marking, but they lacked in air defense. So when he played Negredo, he wanted him to take advantage of the high point. Either create opportunities yourself, or help your teammates.

But it is obvious that after playing, Real Madrid still plays more ground balls and does not play much high balls. The reason lies in Guti. So in this case, although Guti can pass the ball on the court There are a lot of good goals, and he seems to be one of the few bright players in the Real Madrid team, but Yang Cheng still has to win him.

So, in the 70th minute, he replaced Guti with Beckham, who had been recovering from injury and had not started the game, and asked Beckham to play on the right, while Mata returned to the left, and the two wings tried to be more active.

Ordinary fans must not understand this substitution, and even want to scold it, because Guti is one of the few threats to Real Madrid. Replacing Guti with Beckham at this time does not mean that he is abandoning his martial arts. ?

But Yang Cheng, as a head coach, knows very well that after Guti comes down and Beckham comes up, Real Madrid's high ball can be played effectively. Otherwise, with Guti on the court, the team will still cooperate more on the ground and try their best. Give the ball to Guti.

Of course, when this decision was made, no one knew what the outcome would be. It might win or it might lose, but it had to be done because Yang Cheng determined that Ayala and Moretti were the key players in Valencia’s defense. Negredo will definitely be able to play a role despite his shortcomings, so he insists on and trusts his own judgment.

In fact, as soon as Beckham came on the field, just 1 minute later, he got a chance on the right. He did not break through with the ball like Mata did before. Instead, after getting the ball, he directly passed the ball diagonally. At the top of Valencia's defense.

Negredo was ill-prepared, and Moretti got stuck in his position in advance and headed the ball to clear the ball, resolving a crisis.

But in less than a minute, Real Madrid cooperated again. Beckham made a big move on the right and suddenly moved the ball from the right to the left. Mata faced Miguel on the left, one-on-one. He passed the Portuguese and made a low pass into the penalty area, but the placement was not good and it was too far back. Del Horno intercepted it at the back point.

Seeing that the high balls on both wings were alive, Yang Cheng made adjustments accordingly. He used gestures on the sidelines to ask Mata and Beckham to pass the ball to Negredo as much as possible, and also asked midfielder Harvey Aaron to pass the ball to Negredo. Look for opportunities to pass the ball over the top.

This is equivalent to using Negredo as the fulcrum of the current field and organizing the offense around him.

As a result, there was a scene where Real Madrid took turns passing the ball to Negredo's head. The Spanish teenager's judgment and positioning were not good in the first few times. Even though he is 10 centimeters taller than Ayala, which is almost half the height. He is tall, but when his position is blocked by the opponent and he cannot grasp the best starting position and time, his height will be in vain.

In addition to position and timing of jump, the most important point of heading is the contact position and force.

The forehead is generally used as the contact point for heading the ball, because it is easier to control the direction and exert force when touching the ball at this position. If you want to make the header powerful, you must rely on the waist to exert force, so it is often seen that When players head the ball, they are swinging their waists, which is actually exerting force.

But Ayala was very experienced in this area. When Negredo got smart and blocked the take-off point in advance, he put pressure on his waist to interfere with him and prevent him from exerting the force he wanted. Finally, the ball hit. The direction was correct, but there was no strength and it was limp. Canizares caught it immediately.

…………

…………

Negredo was so frustrated by this little marker that he really wanted to curse, because Ayala's existence was just to make Negredo unhappy, and every time this old Argentine boy would use a look of contempt, he would look at his mother from the inside. Greedo's body swept over.

"If you want to score a goal from above my head, wait until you are weaned!"

Although Ayala didn't say anything, Negredo felt that this was what the old boy thought, and he felt more and more annoyed.

For a young player like him, the opportunity to take on such an important responsibility is very, very rare. There may even be only one opportunity in a lifetime, so Negredo hopes to seize it. He hopes to stay in Real Madrid, play for this team.

But, there is no doubt that Ayala has become his biggest obstacle.

Another cross from the wing, Negredo once again took advantage of his physical advantage and stood at the starting point, but as soon as the ball was about to come, Ayala secretly grabbed a handful of Negredo's jersey, but once he grabbed it, it came loose. .

Negredo was so angry at this time that he turned around and pushed Ayala away regardless of whether the ball came or not.

"Hey, bastard, why are you grabbing my jersey?" This kid looked angry, as if he wanted to eat someone.

Ayala raised her hands in the air, innocently saying, "I didn't grab your jersey!"

"Are you still lying?" Negredo has a relatively peaceful personality and doesn't like to cause trouble, but this time he was really offended.

But Raul, who was nearest, rushed over immediately and stopped Negredo directly, "Hey, boy, what are you doing?"

"He grabbed my jersey, f..." Negredo blushed, pointed at Ayala and cursed.

The referee came over, waved Ayala over, understood the situation, and also pulled Negredo over. For fear that Negredo would lose control, Raul always stood beside Negredo, helping him explain and make arguments. , but in the end, the referee gave Negredo a yellow card.

"This is a lesson, kid!" Raul stood next to Negredo, looking at the boy who came out of the youth team, and said.

“In a game, your opponents will use various methods to defeat you, interfere with you, and anger you. You must learn to control your temper under any circumstances, no matter how stressful it is. "

In front of Raul, Negredo was just an obedient little brother.

"You shouldn't be angry just now, because when the ball comes, no matter whether you think you can get the ball or not, whether you can control it or not, you have to jump up and fight for it, instead of giving up this opportunity. , instead venting anger on the opponent, is this useful?"

"If you fight, you will have a chance. If you don't fight, you will never have a chance!"

After finishing speaking, Raul patted the little brother on the back, turned around and walked back.

On the court, the best and cruelest revenge for an enemy is to defeat him. Everyone can say this and understand it, but not many people can use it well, because people often lose control of their temper easily. Live with your own sanity.

Negredo respects Raul very much, and all the young people in Castilla respect him. And before this game, both the fans in the stands and the players on the team were silently preparing for one thing. Help Raul celebrate his 600th game for Real Madrid.

They all hope that their captain's 600th game can have a successful outcome!

Because in the team, Raul is always the one who works hardest and never complains. He is always the first to come to the team and the last to leave. Even in the darkest three years of the Galaxy, he never There was a hint of giving up, but he will always use his own efforts and persistence to write his history in Real Madrid.

Yes, he was born in Atletico Madrid, and his pedigree is not as pure as Guti and others, but he is recognized by everyone as the player who best embodies the spirit of Real Madrid, that is, team and fighting spirit always come first!

Real Madrid's football is not born to be elegant, it is born to be art. Real Madrid's football is not born to be accompanied by victory, and it is born to win all the championships. However, Real Madrid's football is always teamwork football, and it is always never Give up bloody football, Real Madrid's glorious history and championship trophies are not won by one person, but always by a team.

From the earliest five consecutive championships, to the later Five Eagles era, and then to three Champions Leagues in five years, Real Madrid's glory has always been achieved through the joint efforts of everyone and the Juanito spirit of never giving up.

Even in the darkest moments, Raul always upholds the banner of Real Madrid spirit. He has never lost the spirit of Real Madrid. He does not need to play forward, he can play on the left, on the right, or on the right. Midfielder, defensive midfielder, even you can not let him play, but as long as he appears on the court, he will definitely use his own body to practice and use his own performance to interpret Real Madrid's football spirit.

Such a captain deserves the most respect from everyone!

It took him 600 games to prove that the spirit of Real Madrid has been integrated into his blood and his soul.

In normal times, many people would choose to ignore Raul's contribution in this area. They would ask for goals for Raul who does not play as a forward. They would use various statistics to prove that Raul has passed his peak. period, but they will always choose to ignore Raul's interpretation of the team's spirit.

The most pitiful and sad thing for a person is not to be defeated, but to lose his spiritual support, his soul, and his tradition!

So does a team!

Raul was still running hard on the court. Even though the time had reached 87 minutes and it was about to end, he did not relax or give up. He continued to run and chase.

Many people in the coaching staff came out, because this is not only Raul's 600th game, but also a key battle that determines whether Real Madrid can catch up with Barcelona. A draw means a loss!

After a retreat to grab the ball, Raul fell to the ground, grinning in pain. This immediately shocked the Real Madrid coaching staff. Chris and Tim Hank both rushed from the sidelines immediately. After entering the court, Yang Cheng looked at the court with a frown on the sidelines, waiting for his assistants to reply to him.

"Cramp!" Chris's cry made Yang Cheng breathe a sigh of relief, and also made the Real Madrid fans in the Bernabeu breath a sigh of relief.

At this moment, it seemed as if the entire Bernabeu Stadium felt a sense of joy in surviving the disaster.

"Sergio, warm up!" Yang Cheng turned around and shouted towards Aguero.

But as soon as Aguero walked out of the bench, he saw the coaching staff separated. Raul stood up slowly. Apparently seeing Yang Cheng and Aguero, he shook his head vigorously. After walking over, he put his hands on each other. Yang Cheng's shoulder begged in his already hoarse voice: "Let me finish kicking it, okay?"

"We will definitely win!" Yang Cheng gave him confidence.

Raul nodded, "I know, let me finish it!" He obviously wanted to be a part of the game.

Fans in the stands captured the scene on the stand's big screen as their captain begged to continue playing.

"Raul!" Several fans began to shout.

"Raul!!" More and more fans participated.

"Raul!!!" Almost all Real Madrid fans in the audience shouted the captain's name.

There is no doubt that they all hope that their captain can continue to participate in this game and participate in his 600th game for Real Madrid. This is not only a reward for his loyalty, but also a recognition of him.

Yang Cheng seemed to be bathing in the ocean of shouts from fans Raul. He looked up and found that almost all Real Madrid fans stood up and shouted Raul's name.

"You must win the game for me!" Yang Cheng said solemnly towards Raul.

The latter nodded vigorously, turned around and dragged a leg that had just cramped, and walked back to the court with bumpy steps. Suddenly the whole Bernabeu was boiling, Raul's shouts became more fierce, and the momentum could almost blow up Devour everything!

At this moment, Real Madrid players and fans were completely integrated and fighting side by side!
