[Football] I'm just a defender

In this world, if you are a genius in the eyes of others, then there will be no shortage of people to pave the way for you.

As for Francisco Alvarez, he had a mediocre first half, with nothing wrong or bright.This is also because Real Betis was too unsuited to this Real Madrid team in the first half and did not have any threatening offense. If the few led by Joaquin launched an offensive, there is really no guarantee that this small defender who is still a little creepy can carry it. live.Most of these rookies will come off the bench for their first appearance on a big team -- and not in the buffer mode that Bosque brought him on in garbage time last season.But it is obvious that Real Madrid did not do that on the issue of Forlan.

In Queiroz's view, Forlan will be a very talented talent at the guard position, and he also hopes to make this initial processed gem public early and let him go through the rest of the polishing.

Throughout the intermission, the stadium screen will repeatedly play the goal in the first half, starting with Beckham's sharp long pass...

[Don't be restrained, kick seriously, don't be nervous. 】

That's what Queiroz said, but it's not clear whether the coach's words have any effect on relieving pressure.

Of course, Real Betis also made tactical arrangements during the intermission. Whether Real Madrid's lineup, which is hailed as the "Galaxy Battleship" by the La Liga media, is a lion or a paper tiger cannot be seen from the surface, at least they still need to try hard. , It would be too embarrassing if the last game didn't even figure out the depth.

Joaquin, who entered La Liga in 01 and became a blockbuster in the Korea-Japan World Cup in 02, has always been the most popular talent player in Real Betis. As a winger, his dribbling skills and crossing skills have always been talked about.His idol is Figo. Figo scored in the first half. Of course, the new Spanish star has to perform in order to be worthy of his love for his idol.

Joaquin and Casillas are familiar, more importantly because of their dealings in the national team.Fran has not been lucky enough to be selected by Spain so far, but he is half a year older than Joaquin and has seen Joaquin many times on the field, so he is not unfamiliar with his style of play.Correspondingly, Joaquin may even be more familiar with Fran than his big-name teammates. After all, these two people have dealt too much.

"Closely entangled with him, and Elguera went to block the passing line. Fran's position has always been good, not to mention his explosive power is exceptionally good. From what he means, he seems to be familiar with Joaquin's offense and hinders Joaquin's pass. The ball and those fancy skills, at least no one on the court is more suitable for this kind of coolie than Fran." Queiroz stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, and said to the assistant coach behind him, "not to mention the four guards, how come It seems that this rookie is easier to break through, isn't it?"

What Queiroz said is correct, but not necessarily for Joaquin.First of all, he will not underestimate this opponent. Secondly, as a winger, what he is best at is crossing from the wing, not cutting inside.Joaquin's speed is not ranked high in La Liga, but when he dribbles the ball, his speed is a great threat.Real Betis double side by side, Joaquin directly dribbled the ball to the bottom, broke through the right side of Salgado's defense, his teammate simply cut inside, this is not only because dribbling puts pressure on the full-back, but also extremely It is likely to affect the entire defense line.Especially in this defense line, the former defensive gates leave the team and new players are added. At the beginning of the league, the few players who have not cooperated with each other seem to be easily overwhelmed.

Logically speaking, it should be like this.

Elguera decisively marked the inside player, and Fran went to the right to surround Joaquin with Salgado.Forlan's speed was extremely fast, and he was about to follow. Joaquin knew that if he got close to him, he would definitely form a siege with Salgado.The timing of this pass was very good. Salgado found that the boy he was guarding had no more balls under his feet without paying attention. He immediately turned around, for fear of being directly inserted into the penalty area by the opponent's striker.

But none of this happened. Joaquin's pass went low, and the players who were insiders couldn't see it clearly, but everyone in the audience could clearly see that when Salgado leaked the gap and was caught by Joaquin Therefore, before passing the ball, the Real Madrid rookie defender had already slowed down his rushing pace. Before he could step forward and stand completely, Joaquin passed the ball to his feet with incomparable precision.It looked like the Betis winger was a spy stationed in the squad, partnering up to stage such a scene.

As the defender of the defensive side, Forlan had no opponents around him to press, and when he was ready to fully distribute the football to Beckham in front, the Bernabéu stadium burst into applause.This defensive cooperation is not so beautiful, even if it is not for this interception, Joaquin's pass to his teammates will turn into a crisis to a large extent, then this so-called cooperation will lead to mistakes.But all this is just a possibility. From the moment Fran slowed down and lifted up quickly, this possibility did not exist.And this scene is naturally much more eye-catching than a second defense and first defense. "Regardless of the new man, yes, Francisco Alvarez who took over Hierro's No. 4 jersey, no matter how strong he is, he first showed his talent for us."

Betis went forward too aggressively, and was slapped by Real Madrid's quick offensive and defensive transition. When Ronaldo avoided the opponent's defender's sliding shovel and directly pushed and scored, Joaquin was still a little unresponsive.

The ball was lost, and it was clear how it was lost, but it was because of this that he looked at Fran even more inexplicably.What Joaquin likes is the kind of defender who relies on anticipation and his own blocking and interception. Such players make him feel challenging, and once they break through, they can prove their strength even more.But the problem is that Francisco Alvarez is not such a person. If one of a hundred people chooses to rush to encircle him under such circumstances, that person should also be Fran in Joaquin's view.Although he looks like an artist like Real Madrid, he played like a mason from the beginning.

The stalker does not stalk the stalker and instead takes the route of Neixiu, which gives Joaquin a sense of déjà vu that the butcher declares that he will be a vegetarian every day from now on.This impact is even greater than losing a ball.

Queiroz celebrated the goal on the sidelines, and then glanced at Forlan, who was rubbing his head by Beckham in his backcourt.Although he didn't do what he said at the beginning, he would not criticize the effect, after all, it requires the players to judge and execute on the court.Joaquin knew Fran, and perhaps that was why he caught him off guard in this way.

Fran, who was praised by Beckham, was a little surprised when he heard the cheers from the audience.It is a fact that he seldom plays this way, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know how to play. He firmly believes that he can’t do badly when it comes to predicting positions, but he is better at it and is good at another way.

His coach told him when he was young, maybe your way of playing football may not make countless people like it because of its good looks, but it is very important to the team.

But the truth is, can’t his style of play be liked by countless people? He means that if he wants to play well, like Pavon, he will be appreciated by the club and even the national team as a rookie like Pavon. Alvarez is also possible, isn't it?

Anticipation, replacement, blocking, and stealing the ball, he seemed to have figured out something, and he performed smoothly and vividly in the next game.Joaquin was a little dazed by this acquaintance's sudden and inexplicable change of playing style. Although he has participated in the World Cup and seen the world, he is still a 22-year-old boy.Not to mention him, even Queiroz on the sidelines raised his eyebrows, his face was not good-looking, but it was not ugly either.Yes, defense, as Raul explained, his task is to cover, press forward, defend, defend and defend. He has completed the task assigned to him very well and achieved his goal, but the close What about defense?What about the little action of pulling the jersey?What about the slider?How about a fierce robbery?

"During so many games during the warm-up match, he didn't act like a crazy person? I saw that Real Madrid played in the Copa del Rey last season, didn't he? I thought he was born to suppress the big scene. Where are the people?" Queiroz muttered, and wrote a few words in the notebook in his hand, which should be mentioned in the game explanation.

"What's the problem with him playing like this? Except that he doesn't play like usual, but there are no mistakes, right? Not only is there no mistakes, but he is also very good." The assistant coach heard the head coach's words and said, Queiroz held the pen. Dayton, there is no mistake, is it?

The assistant coach took it for granted. After all, he was only 22 years old. Seeing that the game had been successfully won, Queiroz began to call the substitute players to warm up and plan to replace them. The assistant coach took the information book that Queiroz handed over. Well, "Maybe he just thought that his first performance at the Bernabeu would be pleasing."

Queiroz tilted his head and looked at him slowly when he heard this, "Why does he think that his own style of play will not please the audience? You saw the ball just now. Indeed, he intercepted it, but according to his usual style of play, it is very Obviously it would be safer, wouldn't it?"

"The tastes of the Meilingers have been spoiled. Sir, the people in this field, even the defenders, are all artists. It certainly takes courage for this kid to face himself as a butcher."
