Chapter 453 Style Differences

Real Madrid's intermittent attacks were indeed a deterrent to Sevilla's players. They had thought about the opponent's black-haired boy's performance before the game, but they did not expect that the performance would come so quickly and so fiercely.

So, they were all a little surprised and confused!

If this black-haired kid can maintain this form throughout the game, then their goal will definitely not be defended. You know, the long shot just now was at least 30 meters away from the goal. To be able to shoot so accurately from a 30-meter turn, this kind of strength is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Jesus was quite upset. He was still thinking about what the black-haired boy had said before the game - 'Who is that? I've never heard of him'. He felt that this was a complete insult to him.

Now that he is on the court, Jesus wants to perform well and tell the fans that he, the new Spanish talent, is no worse than the black-haired boy on the opposite side.

"But, can I kick that kind of ball?"

He asked himself this question, but he didn't say it out loud. However, he knew that he had already made an 'X' in his heart.

Fabiano was also surprised. This was not the first time he had played against Wang Li. In the match between Porto and Chelsea last season, he started the game and played against Chelsea for the entire match.

In the Sevilla team, he is the only one who truly understands Wang Li's strength.

But even so, he didn't expect that this black-haired boy could still make progress. At least he felt that during the last match, although Wang Li could kick a powerful shot of 30 meters, he could never kick such a smooth turning shot, and it would not be so accurate.

"If he continues to improve, will he be able to take on the entire team by himself?" Thinking of this possibility, Fabiano felt envious and jealous.

At this time, the captain Alves da Silva was a little anxious. He certainly saw that the players were mentally unstable. This was not caused by the previous goal, but more of a psychological pressure.

No matter what the media says, the black-haired kid is indeed worth 200 million euros.

What does it mean to have a player worth 200 million euros?

The entire Sevilla team is only worth more than 100 million euros, which is not enough to pay this money. In other words, the value of all the players in their team, including the youth team, is not as high as that of one of the other side. This glaring gap, coupled with the other side's very good performance, made the players feel invincible.

Da Silva doesn't understand all this, but he knows roughly that the game has just begun and this kind of mentality is absolutely unacceptable. As the captain of the team, he should lead the team to victory.

So, he immediately reminded his teammates: "It doesn't matter, they haven't scored yet, counterattack them one, don't let the media laugh at us."

The last sentence reminded teammates!

There are a lot of reports about Wang Li now, both positive and negative, but the mainstream public still doesn't see Sevilla as a good player. After all, even though the new coach of Real Madrid has just taken office, the gap between the two teams' lineups is too big. Last season's two superstars of Sevilla have both joined the Real Madrid team.

With the captain's reminder, the Sevilla players finally reacted and ran forward to find their positions. Then goalkeeper Palop kicked the ball out, and the ball landed on the left side of the center where Zidane and Adriano were competing.

Zidane has excellent skills. Although he is 33 years old this year, his ability is not comparable to that of ordinary players.

He leaned his body tightly against Adriano, and when the ball was falling, he jumped up and headed it, then pulled his chest back slightly, and the ball fell steadily to his feet. This simple move won cheers from many fans. Zidane's moves were indeed full of artistry.

But this time the French were a little careless.

Adriano behind him was very agile. The moment the ball fell, he pushed his right foot forward and the ball flew away from its original position and landed at the feet of Maresca who was following.

Enzo Maresca is an Italian midfielder who previously played for Fiorentina. He played 25 times last season and scored 4 goals, which is an average statistic for a midfielder, but Maresca's passing skills are also outstanding, which is why Sevilla brought him in.

After receiving the ball, Maresca took two steps forward, and before Wang Li ran over, he made a long pass and accurately passed the ball to Kanoute on the wing.

After Kanoute got the ball, he dodged Ramos's attempt to steal the ball on the wing and passed the ball to Marty behind him with a heel kick. Marty got the ball and passed it directly to the middle.

At this time, Fabiano and Jesus were both in the penalty area, and Ramos, Messia and Carlos, three Real Madrid defenders, were also tightly blocking their positions in the penalty area.

The pass went to the back post, where Jesus was.

In this game, Jesus had not touched the ball yet, but now he had the opportunity to shoot.

Although he had some psychological trauma from Wang Li's shot just now, Jesus still wanted to try his best to perform and fulfill what he said before the game, so he tried very hard to squeeze Carlos.

However, compared to the strong man Carlos, his strength was obviously weaker. When the ball fell, Carlos pushed him aside with force and then tried to kick the ball away.

At this time, Jesus exploded!

He took advantage of the force of being pushed away, raised his right leg and hooked the ball directly in front of him. This beautiful move caused a burst of amazement from the fans in the audience, and of course, more of them were worried about Real Madrid's goal.

After finding the opportunity, Jesus reacted and kicked the ball directly!

The ball was only seven meters away from the goal and it was a low shot with great force. Unfortunately, the angle of the shot was not adjusted well and the ball was blocked by the right arm of goalkeeper Casillas and went out of the bottom line.

"Beautiful!! Sevilla youngster Jesus made a very powerful volley!!"

Although the ball didn't go in, the commentator of the Spanish Royal Sports Channel still praised Jesus: "This young player is a new star trained by Sevilla. He is very strong. Many Spanish fans call him the second Alan Wang. From the back-heel hook action just now, we can see that his ability is indeed worthy of this praise."

But the commentator did not realize that Wang Li was on the court at that time. Calling Jesus the second Wang Li, isn't that sarcasm?

Of course, the fans don’t care about these.

Sevilla's attack also threatened Real Madrid's goal. The two teams staged such a wonderful offensive battle just at the beginning of the game, which made the fans say that it was worth watching the game.

Sevilla's corner kick did not pose any threat, so Real Madrid took control of the ball and launched a new round of attack.

Although Real Madrid has many stars, Sevilla attaches great importance to defense in the game, and it is not easy to score goals. Sevilla's offense is also very effective, which makes the goals of both teams constantly in crisis.

The scene became like a major offensive battle.

In the sixth minute, Jesus made a cross from the right, and in a hurry, Ramos cleared the ball in the penalty area. The ball hit the front post and bounced out of the bottom line. Real Madrid almost got an own goal.

In the ninth minute, Wang Li received a pass from Beckham and poked the ball with his toes from 19 meters on the left side of the penalty area. The ball hit the leg of the Sevilla defender and went wide of the near corner.

In the 13th minute, Guti made a cross pass from the middle, and David Beckham took a long shot from 22 meters in the middle, but the shot lacked power and was caught by the goalkeeper with both hands.

In the 19th minute, Ronaldo passed the ball from the left, and Wang Li's volley from 30 meters in the center again missed the post.

Just one minute later, during Sevilla's attack, Maresca made a cross pass and Adriano's shot from 16 meters on the left side of the penalty area went over the crossbar and flew out of the field.

In the first 20 minutes of the first half, the two teams had a very exciting offensive battle, but unfortunately, neither side was able to score first. Despite this, the excitement still made the fans excited.

At this time, Wang Li discovered the problem.

Originally, he was arranged as a striker in this game, with Ronaldo on both sides of the team, looking for opportunities respectively.

But after this period of time, his position moved further and further back, and he was almost becoming a shadow striker, and his running positions overlapped somewhat with the two midfielders.

It was only then that he realized that playing official games in Real Madrid was indeed different from playing in Chelsea.

When he was in Chelsea, he was the core of the offense and everything in the team revolved around him, so he only needed to play freely. However, Real Madrid did not create any tactics for him. When the team was in official games, all the positioning had to rely on his own awareness.

Yes, his consciousness couldn't keep up.

This is mainly related to the style of La Liga. The tactical distribution of the Premier League teams is very simple. As a striker, you just need to stand at the front of the team and look for opportunities. La Liga teams pay more attention to cooperation, and the team's passes have obviously increased. In this way, he has to pay attention to his position at all times.

When I was at Chelsea, this kind of thing was left to my teammates.

Therefore, in the current official games, Wang Li always feels that his position is a little wrong, or that his position overlaps with that of his teammates, which makes him rarely receive passes from his teammates.

Of course, other people also noticed this. They regarded it as the black-haired boy's inability to adapt to the La Liga. This reason is very sufficient and indeed normal.

After discovering this, Wang Li has been thinking about countermeasures.

It was not until the 23rd minute that he took the initiative to walk up to Ronaldo and said, "Martian, I will be at the front in a while, as the center forward, you should move back a little bit."

"Center?"

Ronaldo frowned in confusion, but still nodded in agreement.

In fact, there is rarely the concept of center forward in La Liga team formations. Center forwards must find their own position when playing a game, which is roughly equivalent to a shadow striker, slightly behind the official center forward. Only in this way can the team become a whole rather than scattered parts.

However, since Wang Li asked for it, Ronaldo nodded in agreement. He was still counting on this black-haired boy to pass him a good ball.

Wang Li thought for a long time and could only think of this solution.

Although he is still confident that he can score a goal if he continues like this, after all, he can't keep up with the positioning and can't adapt to the team's offensive style. If this continues for a long time, there will be problems.

But if he is only at the front of the team and is responsible for shooting, the requirements for positioning will be much smaller, and his chances of receiving passes from teammates will be higher.

The most important thing is not to adapt to the team's playing style, but to score a goal first and get ahead.
