Episode [380]: Ideal Flying with Two Wings
Real Betis's offense mainly comes from the wing, especially Joaquin on the right!
In the 2004-2005 season, that is, the last season, Huajin was a truly mature year. In this season, he sent 13 assists, second only to the Argentine midfielder Riquelme of the yellow submarine, ranking first in La Liga. Ranked second in the league assists list.
It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that he led Real Betis to the fourth place in La Liga last season and entered the UEFA Champions League this season.
However, Real Betis has encountered problems this season. Their bench depth is very poor, which led to their elimination in the UEFA Champions League this season, and the league is now in the relegation zone.
However, Joaquin's performance is still very good.
To be honest, Zhong Cheng has some ideas about Joaquin. He hopes to intercept halfway and get the 24-year-old Spanish winger to Leeds United before Valencia. Let him and Ribe Li directly flies with both wings!
Zhong Cheng seems to remember that Joaquin left Real Betis this summer and joined La Liga team Valencia.
Zhong Cheng has taken a fancy to Joaquin, he is going to poach someone!
But now, Joaquin is the opponent of Leeds United, and this guy is very active.
No, Cappi in the middle directly sent the football to the side with a straight kick, and rolled directly to Joaquin on the side. Joaquin is a typical Spanish winger. His role is to pass from the bottom, not inside Cut shot.
Joaquin's characteristic is that his shooting ability is not strong, and his scoring ability is not very outstanding, but his cross is very accurate. However, he does not have the ability to move in a wide range, because his vision is not very wide, and he is rarely able to send penetrating through balls.
His dribbling ability is very strong, and it is easy to kill you one-on-one on the wing. But he is not the same type as Cristiano Ronaldo. The technique under Joaquin's feet is very unpretentious and very practical. He can often pass you with the most simple, direct and effective movements. It is almost impossible to see the gorgeous and cool technique under Cristiano Ronaldo's feet.
Joaquin's most powerful weapon is his speed, although his absolute speed is not very fast, and his 100-meter sprint speed is not top-notch. But his and Kaka's characteristics are very similar, that is, the combination of man and ball is very abnormal, and even their dribbling speed is faster than their empty running speed, so once you let him get the ball up, congratulations, the nightmare will come !
Also, Joaquin's biggest shortcoming is his poor header ability, but in his position and playing style, he doesn't seem to pay much attention to header ability.
Before the game, Zhong Cheng took the trouble to tell Evra Joaquin's abilities and characteristics, so Evra knows Joaquin very well.
Seeing that Joaquin was about to get the ball, Evra immediately leaned forward, preparing to stick his body to Joaquin, not giving him a chance to speed up the ball. He didn't want to have a nightmare!
However, Joaquin gave Evra a nightmare!
Seeing Evra rushing up, Joaquin, who was thinking about football, instantly gave up his plan to stop the ball. Seeing that Evra was about to rush in front of him, Joaquin desperately stretched his legs forward and stabbed the football forward fiercely, and the football quickly rolled past Evra.
Joaquin ran in an outer arc under Evra's astonished gaze, and went directly around Evra's side.
Evra only felt a gust of wind blowing by his ears, and he was amazed in his heart: "My God, it's too fast!"
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng roared loudly: "Defense! Don't let him pass easily!"
Leeds United's central defender Gary Cahill has also heard Zhong Cheng's repeated instructions. He knows that Joaquin rarely cuts inside. So, seeing Evra being passed, he rushed out quickly, using his whole body to block Joaquin, preventing Joaquin from kicking the pass.
However, Joaquin's speed was very fast, he caught up with the football, and passed it directly.
The football drew a wonderful arc and flew into the Leeds United penalty area. Moreover, Joaquin passed the ball very thoughtfully, his passing power was not great, and he tightly pocketed the football into the space behind Gary Cahill.
The previous point, Joaquin directly gave a previous point!
Dangerous, very dangerous!
At the rear of the penalty area, Real Betis striker Alfonso is carrying Pique firmly, preventing Pique from rushing forward.
The football flew to the front. Another striker of Real Betis quickly jumped in from the penalty area line. He saw the ball and kicked his legs. smashed into the flying football.
"Olivia, dive to the top!" Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
With a bang, Oliveira's head hit the football solidly, and the football flew towards the goal of Leeds United like a torpedo.
In front of the goal, Zhong Zheng took a deep breath, kicked his legs, and shot his whole body like an arrow.
Leeds United's starting goalkeeper today is Mignolet, but the current goalkeeper is dialectical. Because Mignolet was injured in a save shortly after the start of the game and was replaced by Zhong Zheng. Now Zhong Zheng is guarding the goal.
"Aldridge's side attack... beautiful! He actually caught it, my God, this is simply a super goalkeeper, he should be in the England national team, Eriksen, did you see it? Don't you put him Calling into the England national team?" Eddie Gray said.
Now Eriksson's life is not easy. Eriksson is crazy and has been criticized and questioned by BBC commentators. It has also attracted collective ridicule and criticism from countless media reporters. Even fans in England think that Eric Sen should fuck off.
At the beginning of the year, the FA also made it clear that after the end of the 2006 World Cup, Eriksson will no longer be the head coach of the England national team, and will be head coach McLaren of Middlesbrough. .
Now England's performance is very bad, the goalkeeper position is a weak link, and now Leeds United has a Mignolet, and all England fans are calling on Eriksson to recruit Zhong Zheng into the England national team.
Before, Eriksson had been refusing to recruit Zhong Zheng on the grounds of Zhong Zheng's lack of experience. This angered the footballers in England, and they slammed Eriksson crazily. At this time, Eddie Gray was complaining to Zhong Zheng again.
The strength that Zhong Zheng has shown now is indeed selected for the England national team as he wishes.
This time, Zhong Zheng saved the football from the bottom line and gave Real Betis a corner kick!
Joaquin drove a corner kick into the Leeds United penalty area, but the football was directly pushed out by Gary Cahill in the penalty area, and the football flew out of the penalty area rapidly.
The football came to Maniche's feet. Maniche seemed to feel someone rushing up behind him. He didn't turn around and passed the football back to the side. Evra on the wing didn't stop the ball because he saw Ribery who was going forward, and he directly passed the ball over the top and passed the football to Ribery's forward line.
Ribery's speed was so fast that as soon as he rushed up, it directly attracted the screams of the Leeds United fans.
Amidst the screams of the fans, Ribery rushed past Luis Fernandez like a gust of wind and chased after the football.
Luis Fernandez reached out and tried to pull Ribery without success.
Zhong Cheng stood quietly on the sidelines and kept applauding. He seemed to see the hope of scoring a goal.
The biggest difference between Ribery and Joaquin is that Ribery can also cross from the wing, but he himself prefers to cut inside to find his own shooting space.
Seeing that Real Betis's full-backs were all left behind by him, Ribery naturally cut in directly and rushed towards Real Betis' penalty area. Real Betis' central defender Nano immediately moved across and went up to block.
Franck Ribery pretended to pass the ball horizontally, and suddenly moved the football to the bottom line of defense with his ankle, and was about to bottom in the penalty area with a turn. Nano immediately turned sideways to keep up, but at the moment when Nano's center of gravity changed, Ribery gently buckled the football to the middle with his left foot, and the football quickly moved across in front of Nano and rolled to the ground. Middle of restricted area.
Franck Ribery followed with a dodge, moved laterally past Nano, and caught up with the football.
Nano immediately turned around and used his body to carry Ribery, interfering with Ribery's shot.
But Ribery was very resolute, carrying Nano while swinging his legs and shooting. With a bang, the football flew towards the goal of Real Betis, and the ball was very fast.
The fans of Real Betis at the scene were taken aback and exclaimed.
With a snap, Real Betis goalkeeper Contreras fell to the ground and shot the football. The Real Betis fans were very happy and excited.
But the next moment, their faces changed, and the football bounced directly to Huntelaar's feet in the penalty area. Huntelaar has already used his body to squeeze the central defender Juanito behind him. Facing the incoming ball, he gently raised his leg and easily padded the football to the empty goal.
Contreras, who fell to the ground, had no choice but to fly the football into the goal of Real Betis, one to zero, and Leeds United took the lead at home.
Zhong Cheng waved his fist on the sidelines and gave a thumbs up thinking of Ribery and Huntelaar. These two are in very good condition.
Then, Zhong Cheng turned his head to look at Joaquin. This guy is really nice. I hope that Joaquin can come to Leeds United this summer, so that Leeds United will really fly with both wings.
To be honest, if Joaquin comes, it should be Nicholas Bendtner on the bench who will benefit the most, because Leeds United will have more crosses, and Joaquin is also a master of crosses, The cross will be very accurate. As a high center forward, Nicholas Bendtner should get more appearances next season.
One to zero, Leeds United took the lead.
However, this is obviously not enough. After all, this is their home court. If they go to the home court of Real Betis in the next round, a one-goal lead may not be guaranteed.
After taking the lead, Leeds United naturally played a defensive counterattack with more peace of mind.
At this time, Real Betis was a little hesitant. They didn't know whether to attack quickly and try to score a goal, or just like this, wait until the end of the game and leave the problem to the next round at home to solve it?
This is a question worth pondering!
Although, away goals are very important. But in the face of Leeds United's defense and counterattack, Ipueta is really worried that they will lose a lot of money. If they lose another goal in this game, it will be even more difficult for Real Betis in the second round up!
Hesitating, Ipuerta is hesitating.
At this time, Real Betis was still attacking, and Joaquin on the wing lay the football up. The speed was very fast, like a bolt of lightning, and the Leeds United fans at the scene were all frightened.
Fortunately, Evra performed well, and a sliding tackle removed the football from the bottom line.
After throwing the ball from the sideline, Joaquin didn't stop the ball and directly kicked the pass. The ball was beyond the expectations of most people in the stadium, and Gary Cahill's reaction in the penalty area was obviously a beat slower. By the time he reacted, Real Betis forward Oliveira had rushed out, jumped high without any defense, and shook his head to attack the goal!
hiss! Zhong Cheng on the sidelines gasped!
