Chapter 42 Against Betis

After this game, Real Madrid continued to rank first in the league.And his mortal enemy Barcelona is also biting the score tightly, ranking behind it with only three points, and continues to maintain pressure on Real Madrid.

After the end of the tough battle with Valencia, Real Madrid must rush to Seville to challenge Real Betis without stopping.In the Real Betis team, there is Joaquin, a talented teenager from Spain on the right.Many fans remember his magnificent breakthrough in the 2002 World Cup and the painful appearance of missing a penalty kick.

In the Luis Stadium, the home of Real Betis, the fans shouted loudly and cheered for the team.In the past few years, Real Betis has been in the middle and lower reaches of the league, but it has not affected the fans' support for them in the slightest.

In this game, Zhou Xing didn't pay attention to the game itself, but wanted to see Marcos Assuncao, the free kick master of the Real Betis team.In La Liga, the Brazilian has repeatedly used free kicks to break the opponent's goal.His free kicks are tricky and powerful, which has caused headaches for many goalkeepers.

Zhou Xing has an unusual love for free kicks. In his spare time, he always studies how opponents send free kicks and how to use one free kick to penetrate the opponent's goal.Compared with the cooperation between players, Zhou Xing prefers to use this method to break the opponent's goal.

When practicing free kicks, the requirements for footwork are also very high.In this way, Zhou Xing's shooting accuracy has also taken a further leap.When shooting without interference, Zhou Xing rarely shot the ball outside the goal frame.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Real Betis kicked off first.Today, Real Betis still wear their familiar green striped jersey.And because it is an away game, Real Madrid is wearing a black uniform.

The game had just started, and a sharp breakthrough by Real Betis teenager Joaquin on the right also made the Betis fans cheer.He broke through Garcia's defense at the speed of the wind, sprinted more than 20 meters on the wing, and killed all the way to the front of Real Madrid's penalty area.

Under Salgado's defense, he still chose to shoot forcibly, but unfortunately the ball shot slightly wide and flew out of the baseline against the goal post.

Seeing his wonderful performance, Real Madrid's captain Raul also walked up to him, patted him several times, and praised his breakthrough this time.

"Beautiful, Joaquin. I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've become a lot stronger." The Real Madrid captain praised the teammate of the national team without hesitation.In Spain, Joaquin is considered to be Raul's successor.For him, the fans also love and support him very much.

In the national team, Raul is also taking good care of this future star of Spain, hoping that he can take over his burden.Although the Spanish team has always been strong, it has never won any major championships, which is very surprising.Known as the uncrowned kings, they didn't even have the honor to show their hands, which made them extremely embarrassed.

"Thank you, captain. How about it? I heard that there is a talented boy in your team. The defenders of our team call him a "goal machine". Isn't that an exaggeration?" Pointing at Zhou Xing's back, Hua Kim laughed.

"Scoring Machine, that's a good name, it suits him quite well. Don't worry, you'll find out in the next game." Raul replied with a smile, and ran back to the Betis team's half.

At this time, Casillas had already placed the ball on the goal line and kicked the goal kick.The goal kick went far, passed the center circle, and landed at Baptista's feet.

Relying on his own body, he squeezed away the players defending him.Baptista took a few quick steps forward and played a diagonal pass to his fellow Brazilian Robinho.

Robinho broke through the two defenders on the wing and passed the ball beautifully to Zidane who followed him.In the middle, the Frenchman made several consecutive emergency stops and changed direction to break through the Betis defender's defense and entered the penalty area.

In the penalty area, the three Betis defenders formed a shape and surrounded the Frenchman in the center.Seeing this situation, Zidane swung his calf slightly, and subtly distributed the ball to Zhou Xing who was guarding the other side of the goal.

After receiving the football, Zhou Xing volleyed and sent the ball into the goal of the Betis team.This ball also made Betis goalkeeper Antonio Platz Cerveira helpless.

"One to zero." In the away game, with Zhou Xing's shot, Real Madrid scored first.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Xing rushed to Zidane's side, hugging the Frenchman happily.The goal just now, thanks to the wonderful pass from the Frenchman, allowed him to score without any difficulty.

"Thank you, the pass is so ingenious." Zhou Xing saw the three surrounded Zidane, thinking that he would lose the ball.Unexpectedly, the Frenchman could pass such a good ball under such circumstances.

"It's nothing, your shot is not bad." The Frenchman pushed Zhou Xing away with a smile and said with a bright face.At this time, the remaining players of Real Madrid also rushed up and congratulated Zhou Xing.

"The goal machine really deserves its reputation." Raul patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"What scoring machine?" Zhou Xing thought there was something wrong with his ears when he heard this.

Raul smiled and told Zhou Xing what he heard from Joaquin, and then pretended to be serious and said: "This title is a compliment from the defenders in La Liga. Don't be proud."

"Machine, do I look like a machine?" Zhou Xing touched his face depressedly, and said with doubts on his face, realizing that he was a little depressed.

After 3 minutes, the Betis team also got a good chance.In the middle, several midfielders of the Betis team made effective passes and receptions and distributed the ball to the feet of the Brazilian Assuncao.In addition to a beautiful free kick, his long shots are also very good.

At a distance of 35 meters from Real Madrid's goal, he just shot hard, and the heavy artillery directly bombarded the goal guarded by Casillas.This ball has great power and a very tricky angle.Although the ball did not have a strong spin and arc, it still made Casillas dare not take it lightly.

The power of the ball was too great, and Casillas hit the ball directly out of the penalty area with both fists.And at this time, Joaquin broke through Elguera's defense with an astonishing explosiveness from the wing, and ran towards the ball.In the middle, Ramos also hurried towards the football, hoping to grab the first spot.

In the end, it was Spain's wing genius who took the lead.Before he caught up with Ramos, he grabbed the ball first.With a slight push with the sole of his foot, he stopped the football in front of him, and then he accelerated and threw Ramos who was defending him away by a position. People can't help but be amazed by his instantaneous explosive power.

At this time, Joaquin had entered the restricted area of ​​Real Madrid.Seeing this, his teammate Casillas of the national team immediately stepped forward to block, trying to block his shot angle.

Both are in the national team, and both sides are very clear about each other's characteristics.Joaquin knew that Casillas would give up defending the goal and attack, and Casillas also knew that Joaquin would break through to his right.

Sure enough, the two collided.Joaquin gently picked the ball, trying to pick it over Casillas' head.And Casillas reacted very quickly, immediately took off, trying to take the ball off.

It's just that he didn't expect Joaquin to use the back of his foot to add a little turning force to the ball, which made Casillas a little unresponsive.As a result, the ball slipped out of his glove and fell to the ground again.

Joaquin quickly plugged in and pushed the ball into Real Madrid's goal before Casillasi.

In the No. 305 minute of the first half, Real Betis drew at home with a goal from their wing genius Joaquin.

At this moment, the Louis Stadium also became a sea of ​​joy.Fanatical Real Betis fans held their club's flag aloft, and some set off some fireworks, engulfing the stadium in a haze of fireworks.

"One to one even."

"It seems that this game is another hard battle!" Looking at the stalemate situation on the field, Luxenberg didn't have a smile on his face.I thought it was an easy game.Now it seems that it is not that simple.

In the last 10 minutes of the first half, the two teams fought each other.In the No.309 minute, Baptista took a long shot and flew out of the Betis goal against the post, scaring their goalkeeper Antonio.

No.40 In the second minute, the Betis striker volleyed in front of the Real Madrid penalty area and was also held firmly in Casillas' arms.In the end, the two teams ended the first half [-]-[-].

After 15 minutes, the two teams ushered in the second half of the game.Since he could return to China to participate in the training camp after this game, Zhou Xing was a little excited.

"Hurry up and finish the Betis team in the second half, and hurry back to China." Thinking that he can go back to China, Zhou Xing smiled brightly on his face.

In China, there is also Qin Lu who likes him.In normal times, he also occasionally communicates with him on the phone or on MSN.It's just that both of them have to be busy with their studies and don't have much time to talk about love.

Besides, both of them are not very old, and they don't understand what love is.Love is like a game to them.This first love is destined to be bitter.

Thinking of Qin Lu's friendly words on the phone and her charming face, Zhou Xing wished he could fly back to China immediately.Before this match, he had asked Chen Yao to book a flight back to China one day later.He also notified Qin Lu of this news.Qin Lu also agreed to pick him up at the airport.

"The first thing I said when I met her was what should I say?" At this time, Zhou Xing had already lost his mind and was no longer in the small dressing room.

"What are you doing? You're in a daze. You're on the field." Patting Zhou Xing to wake him up from his fantasy, Carlos smiled and told him that 15 minutes had passed.

"Oh, okay." Zhou Xing hurriedly changed his jersey and sneakers, wiped off his sweat, followed Carlos, and walked out of the field.

"I want to go home. Don't worry, you can go back after this game." Carlos said with a smile and looked at his little brother.

At this time, the players of the Real Betis team ran to the field to warm up.The second half of the game will be another tough one.
