Chapter 472 Success? Failure?

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye both teams were already standing on the field, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to signal the start of the game.

Real Madrid took the kick-off.

In the past, Wang Li and Robinho should have stood in the center circle, but in this game, the football was under Cassano's feet. Cassano and Robinho stood in the center circle, looked at each other, and were ready to enter the game at any time.

This scene surprised the fans at the Bernabeu, and they couldn't help but turn their attention back to the field, looking for the magical black-haired boy.

As a right winger, Wang Li stood on the wing.

Before the game, Carlo talked to him about the position issue, and he also adapted to this position during the team's training.

Wang Li feels that this position suits him better than attacking midfielder because the position is slightly further back and on the wing, so the opponent's defense will not be too dense and he can play freely.

In fact, he had no difficulty adapting at all.

When he was at Wolverhampton and Chelsea, he played as a winger or fullback on the right side, and he was already familiar with how to play the ball here. Many fans think he is a standard striker, but that is only because he has been the team's offensive core in the second half of Chelsea's league. In fact, he can also play well as a right winger.

At least, he felt that he was very suitable for this position.

In addition to defending on the wing, the winger's duties are nothing more than creating scoring opportunities for the striker. When possible, try to attack from the wing to find shooting opportunities for teammates or yourself.

Of course, this is a bit general.

The most important thing is that Wang Li feels that the head coach’s idea is good. Playing in the winger position, his chances of getting the ball are greatly increased, and he also has the opportunity to dribble the ball quickly and constantly create opportunities for the team.

When possible, he can also dribble the ball inside and shoot from long range like Robben, which is indeed more suitable for him than the attacking midfielder position.

However, the fans were unaware of the situation. They looked at Wang Li's position in confusion and began to discuss with each other. Before the game started, a noisy sound was heard in the stands, which attracted the attention of many players on the field.

"Alan, come on!!!"

"Let them know how powerful Real Madrid is!!!"

"We are the strongest!!"

Although the fans were talking to each other, there were still a large number of fans who continued to cheer for the team.

The game hasn't started yet, so such a discussion is obviously meaningless. As Real Madrid fans, what they need to do is to cheer for the team, let the players perform better on the field, and put pressure on the opponent.

“Beep…”

With a long whistle, the game truly began.

In an instant, the Real Madrid fans in the audience cheered loudly, and they burst out 100% of their enthusiasm to cheer for the team. At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid's performance was indeed worthy of such cheers.

The Real Madrid players played very smoothly together.

The game had just begun when they launched an attack on Santander Racing's goal. The football kept flying back and forth in the opponent's half. In the first five minutes, Santander Racing had almost no ability to fight back.

For Real Madrid supporters, this is the kind of game they want to see. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing their beloved team showing off on the field. The current scene has satisfied the fans, and they think that if there is another goal, everything will be perfect.

In this game, Real Madrid players seemed to have found their form completely after the opening. They passed the ball continuously in the frontcourt and cooperated with each other skillfully, which made Santander Racing's goal always in jeopardy. The opponent's head coach Brescia walked back and forth on the sidelines, looking anxious, while Carlo was just the opposite. He just sat in the coaching seat with a smile on his face, watching the game on the court, and chatting with the assistant coach next to him when he had time.

The gap between the two teams was apparent right from the start.

As the penalty area of ​​​​Santander Racing was always in crisis, all the fans' eyes were on the goal of Santander Racing. However, after the 10th minute of the game, the attention of some fans began to shift drastically.

With Real Madrid's wonderful performance, it seemed that many fans had forgotten Wang Li, but Wang Li attracted the fans' attention again with his performance.

On the right side, Wang Li played like a fish in water.

After coming to Real Madrid, Wang Li was at the front of the team in almost every game, which made him rarely have the opportunity to dribble the ball on the court.

And now, he got his chance on the right.

Perhaps it was a special arrangement by the opposing coach. Santander Athletic placed two defensive players on their left side, one was left winger Marta Bruna, the other was defender Ayoze, and together with left back Eote, the right side guarded by these three players looked unbreakable, but most of Real Madrid's attacks were launched from the right side.

Wang Li dribbled the ball forward along the sideline. His dribbling seemed casual. He took a step with his left foot and ran forward with his right foot. The football was always controlled one meter in front of him. His dribbling looked like that of a layman and it seemed easy to steal the ball.

But beneath this casualness, he has unparalleled speed.

The speed was so fast that Marta Bruna had just stepped forward to intercept when Wang Li easily kicked the ball past her.

On Wang Li's side, Beckham was also running forward with all his might. He could barely keep up with Wang Li's speed, seemingly protecting Wang Li. Robinho, who had a slight understanding with Wang Li, was ready to rush forward at any time in the frontcourt to receive Wang Li's pass.

On the left side of the Santander Athletic penalty area, Cassano stood next to a defender and watched the situation on the wing.

He had just arrived at Real Madrid and had little tacit understanding with his teammates, but after seeing Robinho's actions, he knew what he should do: be ready to catch the ball and shoot at any opportunity, or wait for the opportunity to find the right position and make a supplementary shot.

Although Wang Li was very fast, Santander Racing's defense was also very solid. When the ball was brought to the right side of the penalty area, facing the opponent's human wave tactics, Wang Li had no choice but to pass the ball to Beckham. After the two cooperated, Wang Li hurried to dribble the ball towards the middle, while Beckham changed position to the right, ready to respond at any time.

The players of Santander Racing had already heard of Wang Li's world-class dribbling ability, and now they were "lucky" to face this kind of dribbling. The two defenders reacted immediately and rushed over to grab the ball, but they couldn't figure out the position of the ball at all. In a flash, they didn't even know where the football was. This was really frustrating.

After finding the right opportunity and attracting the attention of many defensive players, Wang Li passed the ball accurately to Beckham on the right. The latter poked the ball directly into the penalty area. Robinho reacted instantly, shook off the defensive player and shot!

“Beep…”

But at this time, the referee signaled offside.

The whole audience couldn't help but sigh. At this time, many TV stations began to replay this wonderful cooperation. From the screen, we can see that at the moment Beckham passed the ball, Robinho was indeed half offside. The linesman's flag was raised very accurately, and it was not a misjudgment.

Racing Santander escaped a disaster.

However, Real Madrid fans were not satisfied with the referee. They felt that the referee was too harsh in enforcing the law against Real Madrid. It was a pity that such a good opportunity was blown off because of offside.

"Can't you just pretend you didn't see it?"

This is the fans' point of view, and the Madrid TV station has a similar view. However, in the eyes of Santander Racing supporters, the referee is undoubtedly fair. This is the psychological difference between supporters.

However, the most important thing is that in this attack Real Madrid fans saw the role of Wang Li on the right.

As long as the black-haired boy is on the right, the team's attack can enter the opponent's penalty area again and again. Such a right winger is too strong, and the head coach of Santander Athletic immediately reminded the players to pay attention to the wing. However, this has limited effect on Wang Li who retreated to the center line to get the ball.

At this time, as soon as Wang Li got the ball, the entire Bernabeu Stadium would be filled with cheers from Real Madrid fans.

The fans liked Wang Li and were very satisfied with his performance. They shouted: "Go, Alan! You are unbeatable! You are running all over the field! You are the hope of Real Madrid's victory! The source of victory!!"

However, the players of Santander Racing did not become cowardly because of the attitude of the fans or the passive situation of the team. After getting the ball, they controlled the ball under their feet and passed it back and forth in the backcourt several times, preparing to launch a steady attack.

No matter how strong Real Madrid is, the current score is only 0:0. They still have many chances. Football matches are not won just by being strong, but also by a large part of luck. Even if Real Madrid has the advantage, as long as they can score a goal and defend the goal, they will still win.

Unfortunately, Wang Li was very responsible in the right winger position. When Santander Racing's football was passed to the right, he decisively intercepted the opponent's cooperation in the middle, and then quickly attacked towards the opponent's half amid the cheers of the audience.

This is the 23rd minute of the game.

Wang Li launched another attack towards the opponent's half from the right side. He was extremely fast and had surpassed many opponent players who were returning to defense in the middle while running with the ball. At the same time, the opponent's defensive players also stepped forward to intercept him.

But it is simply a pipe dream for a single player to steal the ball from Wang Li.

The opponent's No. 35 midfielder Thomas moved to the right side while returning to defense. He wanted to stick to Wang Li to slow down his dribbling speed and buy time for the team. However, as soon as Thomas got close, Wang Li dribbled the ball while running and headed straight to the middle. Thomas was dribbled past by Wang Li, and he had no chance to turn around and continue chasing him.

After cutting into the middle, Wang Li still did not slow down. Reglacio slowed down while running and tried to intercept, but Wang Li moved slightly to the side, passed him directly at high speed, and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

After passing two players, the other Santander players had no chance to intercept as they were too far away from Wang Li.

In the next moment, Wang Li kicked the ball into the net with the outside of his foot, and it was still spinning in the air. The force of the ball seemed to make goalkeeper Eot tremble with fear.

There is no doubt that this was a personal performance of Wang Li. After intercepting the ball in the backcourt, he went directly to the penalty area of ​​Santander Athletic just by dribbling the ball, and then volleyed the ball to score the first goal for Real Madrid.

1:0.

This goal made the fans in the stadium extremely happy. After they realized what was happening, they shouted Wang Li's name loudly. The opposing players looked depressed. This one-on-one goal was a big blow to them.

At this time, TV stations around the country also broadcast the wonderful replays of the goal. Madrid TV commentator Kubonis said: "...This goal is a complete display of Wang Li's personal ability. Facing his fast dribbling, the defensive players of Santander Racing were helpless. His speed was too fast. He ran with the ball faster than the opponent ran without the ball. This was not a heavyweight contest at all..."

The commentator of Santander TV was worried about the team's next game, "... With this black-haired kid on the field, the team dare not attack too far forward. Real Madrid's counterattack is too fast. We must defend well before we can attack. But now the team is behind. What to do in the next game has become a problem for head coach Brescia..."

In fact, for Brescia, the head coach of Santander Racing, there is no choice now. Facing the powerful Real Madrid, Santander Racing is as fragile as grass in the ocean. Brescia understands this very well.

Originally, he wanted the team to stabilize the defense in this game, then launch a sneak attack on Real Madrid, and then set up a solid defense in front of the goal. Even if Real Madrid was lucky enough to score a goal, they could still get a point at the Bernabeu.

However, after Real Madrid scored first, it was almost impossible to continue playing the game. It was too difficult to rely on the team's current lineup to launch a counterattack and break through Real Madrid's defense.

And now, he watched Wang Li's individual performance very clearly up close, and he felt even less confident. What Brescia was thinking now was 'this kind of goal is simply unsolvable'. In this case, should Brescia be allowed to play freely?

That's unrealistic. The most important thing is to save the team's face. After all, this is the Bernabeu Stadium!!

"1:0, this score is completely acceptable." Brescia thought.

Therefore, after Real Madrid took the lead, Santander Racing did not strengthen the attack, but instead set up a solid defense in front of the goal. It seemed that they were determined to defend the current game and try to save the team's face.

In this situation, Real Madrid directly launched an attack on the penalty area of ​​​​Santander Racing.

The iron bucket formation is always the most annoying defensive method. Faced with the human wave tactics, Real Madrid players have no choice. The best way to break through this defense is to rely on long shots or set pieces. However, the opposing players seem to have received instructions from the head coach and do not commit fouls in front of the penalty area.

The game time passed by minute by minute.

It was not until the 51st minute that Real Madrid scored their second goal, this time scored by Zidane.

Another attack from the right.

Wang Li and Beckham made two passes and received the ball, easily dribbled past the double-team of two opposing defensive players, and then dribbled the ball to the baseline.

At this time, the penalty area was crowded with people, and many players thought that Wang Li was about to kick the ball cross. This was indeed a good opportunity, but Wang Li did not choose to pass the ball at all. The first half hour of the game had proved that this offensive method posed a limited threat to Santander Athletic's goal.

So he chose to pass the ball back to Beckham.

Seeing Beckham get the ball, the opposing players immediately came over. As for Beckham, everyone knows his "Crescent Moon Scimitar", that is, his long passes are very good. Santander Athletic would rather let Wang Li take the shot than let Beckham take the shot.

Beckham does not have Wang Li's skills. Faced with the opponent's pressure, he could only kick the ball to Wang Li. Wang Li looked towards the penalty area. After receiving the ball, he rushed directly towards the penalty area in the surprised eyes of everyone.

"What is he going to do?" the commentator exclaimed.

At this time, the penalty area was almost full of players, and there would be no space for Wang Li to move inside. The result would definitely be that he would be intercepted or taken out of the baseline.

Seeing the strange choice made by the black-haired boy on the opposite side, the Santander Athletic players in the penalty area were also puzzled, but there must be something wrong with the abnormality, and they all felt that they should step forward to stop Wang Li.

However, just after crossing the penalty area line, Wang Li suddenly kicked the ball forward with his right foot while running, and the ball went directly over the heads of several players and flew to the back of the penalty area.

The pass was too sudden and required very high technical skills. This kind of difficult lob was definitely not something that an ordinary player could do, which made the Santander Racing defenders completely unable to react.

But at the back of the penalty area, Zidane had already jumped up to meet the ball! !

Header shot!!

Zidane's shot was very powerful, but at this time the opponent's goalkeeper was still staring at Wang Li, and he had no idea that the football had reached the back point.

So the football flew directly over the goal line.

The final result of the game was also 2:0. In the subsequent games, Real Madrid failed to score any more goals.

One pass and one shot, compared with Wang Li's performance in previous games, this data is somewhat unremarkable, which made many media sigh after the game and say: "Carlo's tactics failed!"

"Alan Wang's role as the right winger was really limited. Although he also played well and was the best player of the game, compared with Real Madrid's previous games, the 2:0 loss at home seemed to show the weakness of Real Madrid's offensive line. Facts have proved that Carlo's tactics have failed again. Although Real Madrid won, the use of Alan Wang seems to have trapped this young head coach in a vicious circle. Let us wish him good luck!"

But in fact, Carlo didn't think so. In the training on the second day, he still insisted on letting Wang Li play as right winger.
