Dominate the Greenery

Chapter 40 seems to be researched

The half-day Pepsi event was over, and Xie Rui wanted to ask Luo Ming out for a walk, after all, there was a mission requirement.

But the time for activities is really tight, and Luo Ming still has a lot of things to do these days, the two made a gesture of calling in an extremely ambiguous way and separated.

Xie Rui continued to train endlessly.

In the Copa del Rey match with Leganes in the middle of the week, Raymond did not arrange him to play. After all, Celades also needs to play, and he can't let him be a young man.

Although Real Madrid played almost all off the bench, they controlled the game, but they didn't have too many opportunities. In the end, they only scored the only goal with the double shot of Irving and Morientes.

Although they were not optimistic about their striker partners every day before the game, after the game, some media still admitted that if Raul and Ronaldo were left behind, these two would definitely be the best choice. "In this game, Owen and Morientes partnered, and the two brought Real Madrid's substitutes to win the game. Facts have proved that Morientes' strength and mastery of the ball in the air, coupled with Owen's speed and Breakthrough, this is one of the ideal striker combinations."

However, due to the presence of Raul and Ronaldo, Real Madrid still cannot use such a combination in other important games.Judging from the current situation, the performance in the Copa del Rey may give Morientes more playing time, but what is certain is that last season's Champions League top scorer still needs to continue to wait on the bench of Real Madrid, because he and Owen, who he competed with, scored a goal, even if the ball was assisted by Morientes.But compared to Irving's ability to seize opportunities on the court, he scored consecutive goals.

In addition, Ronaldo has just applied for Spanish citizenship, which guarantees the number of appearances of Real Madrid's non-EU players.

Moreover, Raymond's move to replace Irving in the second half to save his energy also proved that Irving can now participate in some leagues stably.

These factors are enough to make it difficult for Morientes to have a bright future. Perhaps Real Madrid may not enter during the winter break, but it is likely to leave.

"However, it can also be seen from the progress of this game that without enough big-name stars and strong midfielders, Real Madrid's support in the frontcourt is really limited. The result of the game is still hard to say. We fully believe in the ability of Real Madrid forwards, but how to use big-name players reasonably will always be the most urgent problem for the head coach to solve.”

These problems are not a problem for Raymond for the time being. After the winning streak, the whole team's spirits are up, and they will play against the same city's little brother Getafe at home on the weekend.

Before the game, Florentino was full of confidence: "I sincerely believe that the bad start is only temporary, and better days for Real Madrid are coming. I think we have built the best team in the world, and our plan is Find the status step by step, and then advance on the three fronts of the league, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. Now, we have entered a relatively stable stage, and I believe that as long as we persist, we will achieve the results we want."

Because in yesterday's league match, Athletic Bilbao drew with Barcelona at home. If Real Madrid can win this game, they will narrow the points gap with Barcelona to one game.

Barcelona's state is indeed not good this week. They were eliminated by the third-tier team Gramanet in the Copa del Rey. The injuries of Motta, Gabriel and Edmilson made many media think that they gave up Xie Rui at the beginning. The biggest gap between the two teams now.

Raymond insisted on the lineup of the last round of the league, but the injured Samuel was replaced by Bravo, while Solari replaced Figo who was in poor physical condition.

The other positions have not changed, and Xie Rui is still the only midfielder.

However, Real Madrid, who were determined to win the game, fell into a passive position from the beginning.In the away game, Getafe played against the guest and took control of the situation after kick-off.

Faced with Xie Rui's defense, Yanggus did not deliberately approach, but kept a small distance so that Xie Rui could not grab.

Xie Rui tried several times to press, but he passed the ball first, while Pachon and Cottero, who supported him, were always missed.

It can be seen that Yangus is very afraid of Xie Rui's press, but it is this strategy that makes Getafe's frontcourt attack alive.

This is not a problem with Real Madrid's defenders, but in terms of the number of offenses, Getafe's personnel are greater than Real Madrid's effective defensive personnel.

Seeing Xie Rui's embarrassment, Zidane had no choice but to retreat, and Raul also did the defensive work of the winger.

Only in this way can it withstand Getafe's opening three tricks.

"It can be seen that Real Madrid's big names are still not used to doing hard work. Although this kind of passive defense is active, it can be seen that they are not very willing. This is the biggest problem of Real Madrid now. No matter how many stars there are, the defense is not a few people. The thing is, modern football is teamwork, and everyone should get used to filling in. Barcelona is already changing this, but Real Madrid is too passive."

Fortunately, Getafe's offensive efficiency is not high. Although they controlled the game from the midfield, neither Cotero nor Pajon's shots opened the goal guarded by Casillas.

Getafe's best chance of the game came in the 20th minute.

Under Xie Rui's pressure, Yangus distributed the ball from the wing. Facing Real Madrid's approaching defense, Gabi dunked the ball and danced with a single whip. He dodged a small body, but it was enough to pass the ball. .

At the previous point, Cotero attracted Elguera, but Bravo was freed by Ricky. The unguarded Ricky took off easily and shook his head against the football lion.

A powerful header from less than five meters away.

But was saved by Casillas.

Ricky wasn't busy celebrating, so he watched Casillas slam the ball, and after landing, he took two quick steps to grab a follow-up shot before the chasing Elguera.

However, Casillas' second reaction was really the best in the world. When Ricky shot, he put his left hand on the ground to buffer, then pushed himself up with his left knee, kicked his right foot back, closed his eyes, and turned his head. On one side, the upper body was fully opened, and the appearance of blocking the hole of the gun successfully blocked the fast-flying football.

This time Ricky couldn't keep up, and both shots were saved by Casillas, and his depression was palpable.

But after the chest blocked the heavy blow, Casillas got up quickly and watched Elguera kick the ball out of the penalty area, so he couldn't help rubbing his chest.

"Getafe missed the best opportunity. Real Madrid has adapted to their offense. It is difficult for such an opportunity to reappear. On the contrary, if Real Madrid stabilizes their offense, they can completely reverse the situation. Zidane's control and scheduling ability is absolutely not Getafe players can be compared. But now it depends on how effective Real Madrid's counterattack is."
