384 Long-distance Assault(1/2)
From leading one goal to falling one goal behind, Real Madrid's superstars will definitely not accept such a gap.
Therefore, in the following game, Real Madrid's offensive became even more fierce.
During the first attack after serving, Figo came to the middle, received Zidane's cross pass, and completed a powerful long shot!
This shot is of extremely high quality, and the ball flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
However, Van der Sar seemed to have known that he was going to do this for a long time. He almost made a save after Figo's shot.
When Van derssa, who is 1.95 meters tall, fully stretched his body in the air, his defensive area is very terrifying.
So although Figo's shot was almost aimed at a dead corner, he was still taken out of the bottom line by Van der Sar's long hand!
"Wow!!! Van der Sar made a god-like save!!!" Jesus in the stands couldn't help but roar.
"St. Van der Sar! Saint. Van der Sar!!!"
After a burst of exclamations, Betis fans offered cheers to Van der Sar who made a brave save!
Faced with applause and cheers, Van der Sar was not complacent, but seriously directed his teammates' defense.
In his opinion, saving the opponent's shot is his duty as a goalkeeper, just like a chef cooking, and it is no big deal.
In the next corner kick, Betis did not give Real Madrid any chance.
After resisting this wave of attack from Real Madrid, Betis immediately made a counterattack.
After Villa got the ball from the left, he suddenly cut inside. While dribbling the ball horizontally, he suddenly cleverly stuffed the ball into the left rib of the penalty area!
Drogba on the front line understood the high speed, and after he squeezed Elgra away, he directly shot with his left foot!
Drogba's shot was worth the turf, and he went straight to the gap under Casillas' crotch!
However, Casillas showed his unusual reaction speed. He blocked the ball with his legs together, and then the veteran player in the penalty area quickly cleared the ball out of the penalty area with a big foot.
Drogba hugged his head depressedly, regretting that he had not chosen to make a tricky angle just now.
Tang Feng on the sidelines was also very depressed. When Villa sent the pass and Drogba inserted it in time, he thought the ball had it.
...
In the subsequent games, both sides were still fighting back and forth.
Cheers and sighs in the stands were heard one after another, and the situation on the field could also be described as dangerous.
But the score of 2 to 1 has not been rewritten for a long time.
Seeing that the game had entered the last twenty minutes, the coach Boske, who was behind, could no longer sit still.
He glanced at the bench. Because Morientes was injured, there was only Portillo, a forward on the bench.
This young forward is an honorary production of Real Madrid's youth training camp. He has scored more than 700 goals from the youth team, setting a new record for Spanish youth players and is known as another "golden boy" from Real Madrid.
Portilo is about the same height and weight as Raul, and his spirituality on the front line makes Real Madrid optimistic that he can become Raul's successor.
A few minutes later, taking advantage of the opportunity to die, Boske requested a substitution.
Portillo up, Cambiaso down!
In this way, Real Madrid's formation became 4312, to be precise, 4132, because only Ma Clarelle is left in the midfield and frontcourt players who can defend on the court!
Several other people, Zidane, Figo, Guti, Portillo and Raulco, were all attackers.
Tang Feng did not show any nervous expression about Boske's substitution.
As a veteran, he knew how down and out of Portillo, a supernova who was highly anticipated, would be.
This is a typical player who can kill all the people in the youth team and becomes mediocre when he becomes an adult team.
Of course, according to Tang Feng's understanding, he believes that if Portillo made his debut in a small team step by step, he might have become a good player. But the problem is that he was in a giant team like Real Madrid as soon as he debuted.
In a team like Real Madrid with superstars, the chances he can get are very limited. At the same time, Real Madrid also has the most picky fans. They don’t have the patience to give a young man from a youth team a chance to slowly find a feeling. Not only fans, but the media are also always staring at a giant team like Real Madrid. As a striker, Portillo will be criticized by the media after a few times of poor performance.
This means Portillo has to bear more pressure than the average young player.
This is also a very important point when he gradually became mediocre.
Although Portillo's style is somewhat similar to Raul, he cannot compare with Raul in any aspect, and is not as distinctive as Morientes. Therefore, Tang Feng believes that it will not be too difficult for his team to defend him.
However, after Real Madrid replaced a midfielder, Betis may have a better chance to counterattack. As long as you catch it once in the next time, you should basically be able to lock in the victory!
In fact, Bosque had no choice but to replace Portillo at this time.
Although Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt lineup is excellent, the team's bench depth is not deep.
In the forward position, Real Madrid only has Raul and Morientes. Savio's condition has declined significantly due to injury and has entered Real Madrid's cleaning list. Portilo is a little too young.
Although there are many players in the midfield, there are only a few that can reassure Boske.
Fortunately, the club is now fully introducing Ronaldo. After Ronaldo joins, Bosque really doesn't have to worry about the forward line.
Unfortunately, Ronaldo is the far water that cannot save the fire in this game.
Boske could only count on Portillo, who was twenty years old, to have a flash of inspiration.
At the same time, Boske was actually gambled in his heart.
If the young people around the age of 20 in Tang Feng's hands can perform so well, then isn't the genius in his team good?
After Portillo came on the court, he did perform very positively. He kept running, hoping to get a chance.
However, his frequent running not only failed to make any gaps for himself, but instead disrupted the order of Real Madrid's frontcourt.
Moreover, he had several times when he ran to the same route as Raul.
This made Portillo very depressed!
When he was in the youth team, he was the sharp forward in the team, and he was always at the forefront. After getting the ball, the teammates in the midfield always thought of creating opportunities for him as soon as possible.
However, after becoming an adult team, the big brother Raul was the trump card on the forward line, and the superstar guys in the midfield were obviously more familiar with Raul's running habits.
So after playing, Portillo basically didn't get any chance.
On the contrary, once he and Raul overlapped their positions, causing the two to miss an excellent opportunity!
Tang Feng on the sidelines looked at Portillo's performance and shook his head helplessly.
He suddenly realized that these rookies from Real Madrid always had bad performances in the game against Betis.
In the Spanish Super Cup last year, Pavin, who was also just promoted from the youth team, was completely defeated by Betis' attackers, and he may not be able to get rid of the shadows.
Portillo's performance in this year's European Super Cup is obviously a bit abnormal!
However, Tang Feng would not feel any guilt towards these young people.
Because in his opinion, if a young player wants to become a star, in addition to his own strength, the most important thing is his mentality. If he does not have a strong heart, even if he becomes famous at a young age, he may not have a good time.
Like Portillo and Pavin, they all lost because of their weak resistance to stress.
In short, Portillo did not bring any obvious help to Real Madrid's offense after he came on the court.
However, when Betis faces Real Madrid, which has one midfielder, the counterattack will become more calm.
In the 78th minute of the game, Villa almost knocked on Real Madrid's goal with a shot that cut inside.
Fortunately, Casillas in front of the goal was very focused and kept the ball out.
Time unknowingly entered the last ten minutes, and Boske made the second substitution adjustment.
Solari up, Guti down!
Solari appeared on the left, while Zidane returned to the middle.
In the first phase of Real Madrid's Galaxy Battleships, Solari should be one of Bosque's few substitute midfielders trusted.
Although this Argentinian didn't play much in Real Madrid, he was able to make great achievements when he came on the bench from time to time. Therefore, he was also a super substitute for Real Madrid.
Tang Feng on the sidelines had some impression of this, so unlike Portillo's previous ignorance when he was playing, after Solari came on the court, he also reminded the players on the court to pay attention to this Argentinian and not give him a chance.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Solari made a forced breakthrough on the left and was blocked by Alves, who was struggling to chase back, and Real Madrid got a corner kick opportunity.
Seeing that time was running out, Real Madrid's big men came to Betis' penalty area one after another. They wanted to take advantage of this corner kick opportunity to bring some threats to Betis.
The big players in the frontcourt of Betis also returned to the penalty area.
For a moment, Betis's penalty area became overcrowded.
The players on both sides pushed each other and squeezed each other, occupying a powerful position.
Seeing the chaos in the penalty area, the referee on duty had to suspend the game twice in a row, and the penalty area gave some verbal warnings to the players.
This also made the already nervous air in Betis' penalty area even more solemn.
Finally, Figo started running up, and everyone's push in the penalty area became even more serious.
The ball drew an arc in the air and flew towards the back point!
Central defender Jero appeared in that position, but Drogba, who returned to the penalty area, also held him tightly and rushed towards the landing point of the ball.
In this pure body confrontation, the thirty-four-year-old Jero is obviously not the opponent of the young and powerful monster Drogba.
In the end, Drogba rushed to the landing point first. After he jumped high, he shook his head and pushed the ball out of the penalty area!
The ball flew into the blank area outside the penalty area, and players inside and outside the penalty area rushed towards the ball.
