Center

Chapter 505 Pepe
When the players shook hands, Long Bisheng noticed the Brazilian-Portuguese central defender Pepe in the Real Madrid team. Before the game, both the coach and his teammates believed that this defender was the most likely defender to watch him in the game. This defender who has never been selected for any national team but set a transfer value of 3000 million euros is 31 years old this year, but his physical fitness has not declined. Long Bisheng felt this when shaking hands. The explosive force from the Portuguese made Long Bisheng feel frightened. It seems that this game will be very difficult.

Pepe also looked at Long Bisheng in surprise. When shaking hands, Pepe intentionally increased his strength, wanting to see how much weight this center forward who would be guarded by him in the game had, but he had already exerted a lot of strength, but Long Bisheng didn't respond at all, and even the smile on his face didn't froze - no wonder the head coach asked himself to guard this guy!The other two central defenders in the team, Albiol and Argentine defender Garay, are a little taller than him, but far inferior to him in terms of strength. This game is Newcastle's home game, and the referee probably won't be too strict in terms of physical confrontation. Apart from himself, there is really no defender in Real Madrid who can physically beat this guy.

Before the game started, the two opponents who were destined to collide with each other in this game were wary in their hearts-this opponent was not easy to deal with.

When the game started, it was not the home team Newcastle that took the lead, but the visiting team Real Madrid.

Real Madrid, who kicked off first, passed the ball to Alonso who took the ball in the middle with three feet and two feet. Alonso stopped the ball at his feet and looked up to observe the situation ahead. Although the four attackers in the frontcourt of Real Madrid were all famous, it was Alonso who was a little behind who was really in charge of organizing. His role in Real Madrid's tactics was somewhat like that of Xavi in ​​Barcelona.

Alonso had just stopped the ball at his feet, and Walcott, who was rushing forward as soon as the kick-off, had already rushed in front of Alonso aggressively, stretching out his feet to steal the ball, Long Bisheng and Messi who followed closely behind cut off Alonso's forward passing route, and Newcastle launched a frontcourt press at the beginning of the game!
If it were someone with mediocre foot skills, he would really be intercepted by the extremely fast Walcott. However, Alonso can play the core position of the midfielder in the star-studded Real Madrid. Naturally, he will not be an ordinary person.

Just past Walcott, Messi, whose speed is only a little slower than Walcott, has already rushed up. Such unexpected consecutive steals can often achieve miraculous effects. At this time, Alonso had no time to surpass others.

Real Madrid’s double defensive midfielder is organized by Alonso, and Diarra is responsible for blocking. However, in modern football, players are more and more comprehensive.

He thought well, but Newcastle would not give him this time. Long Bisheng, who was slower than Messi and Walcott, had already rushed up and stopped Diarra in front of him. After being blocked by Long Bisheng, Diarra couldn't even see the situation ahead, let alone organize the long pass. The random long pass could only give the ball to the opponent. In desperation, Diarra could only cross the ball and pass it to Ramos who stepped in from the right to respond.

After receiving the ball, Ramos did not stick to the ball, and passed it directly to Kaka in front of him.

After Kaka got the ball from the right, he rushed towards the middle. Essien came up to meet him. It was very difficult for Kaka to get rid of Essien.

Ronaldo grabbed the ball in front of Bell, took a step sideways and then suddenly shot from the corner of the penalty area!Cech's concentration was very concentrated, and he flew to press the long-range shot with this high-quality foot firmly under his body.

There was warm applause from the stands, and the Newcastle fans applauded Cech's successful save.

This time Real Madrid's offense failed, but the coach Hiddink and Mourinho of both sides frowned at the same time.

Hiddink frowned because he could see that although Real Madrid's attack was completed, the cooperation between several players can be said to be a very smooth one-kick kick to create this opportunity. Even Real Madrid can't play this kind of cooperation at any time. If every attack is so difficult, then the efficiency of the attack can be imagined.

Mourinho frowned because he also felt that his defense was very active and decisive, and there were no flaws in the defensive formation, but Real Madrid still found a gap and opportunity to shoot. At home, Newcastle must actively press the offense to gain an advantage. If this is the case, how many times can the defense withstand the opponent's attack?
A good coach always thinks about defeat before winning. Both Hiddink and Mourinho are aware of the unfavorable situation shown in this attack, but this attack has its positive side for both sides.

Petr Cech observed the situation ahead and directly kicked the ball into the frontcourt with a big kick. There was no throwing the ball to launch an attack because although Real Madrid had a lot of attackers in the frontcourt, these players were all players with plenty of physical fitness and excellent running ability.

After Petr Cech threw the ball, Long Bisheng returned to the center circle to prepare for the long pass. When Petr Cech's long pass flew over, Long Bisheng held Diarra behind him, then jumped up high, and accurately ferried the ball to Ribery who came up behind him.

Ribery moved forward with the ball, but Alonso came up to defend him but was immediately thrown away by him. At this time, Diarra, who had just lost to Long Bisheng in the confrontation, rushed up. Ribery did not entangle with Diarrado, and directly passed the ball to Messi in front of him.

When Ribery passed the ball, Messi had already retreated suddenly, threw off Drenthe's defense, and stopped the pass at his feet. The moment he stopped the ball, he immediately swiped the ball behind him, then turned around quickly, and flashed past Drenthe!

Wonderful score!Huge cheers erupted over St James' Park as the Newcastle fans chanted: "There's only one Messi!"

After shaking Drenthe, Messi moved forward with his signature small steps. Alonso, who returned to the defense, could only fight and retreat. Silva also returned to the defense, helping Alonso pinch Messi.

When Messi was passing, Long Bisheng was fighting for a position with Pepe in the penalty area. As soon as the two of them approached, they knew that this opponent was really different—Long Bisheng had encountered many strong defenders in the Premier League and Bundesliga, but under his collision, there were very few who could hold the stakes.

He was surprised, and Pepe was even more surprised than him. Pepe's natural physical fitness is quite good, whether it is confrontation, jumping or explosive power. Although he is only 1.8 meters 75 tall and weighs only [-] kilograms, there is almost no trace of fat on his body. All of them are strong muscles. In most games in La Liga, he does not need to use too much force. As long as he leans over, it is rare for a striker not to lose his center of gravity or balance. He was supposed to get the ball, but just now when he leaned forward, Long Bisheng bumped him unreasonably. If he hadn't kept his footing steady, he would have lost his center of gravity all of a sudden and couldn't stop him from moving forward.

The two were entangled, and Long Bisheng barely blocked Pepe behind him, but he couldn't squeeze him away. Pepe was blocked by Long Bisheng, and he tried desperately to squeeze past him, but he couldn't do it.

Thinking of Long Bisheng leaning back here forcefully, Pepe thought that Long Bisheng was going to shoot forcibly, so he posted it immediately, but before he posted it, Long Bisheng had already passed the ball and returned the ball to the front of the penalty area.
"Igor - Iker Casillas! Great save!"

Despite the interference from Diarra, Ribery's long-range shot was still very quality. The ball went straight to the dead corner, but Casillas judged the ball's route the moment the ball flew out from Ribery's feet. He swooped sideways, stretched his arms in the air, and narrowly blocked the ball out of the baseline with his fingertips!
When Ribery shot the goal, Hiddink jumped up from the coach's bench in shock, and he was relieved until the ball flew out of the baseline. He immediately shouted at the field: "Mahamadou! What are you doing! Protect the front of the penalty area! Don't forget your duty!"

Diarra waved his hand off the court, indicating that he knew.

For a corner kick, Bell drives the ball into the penalty area. Long Bisheng jumps high under Pepe's entanglement and intends to shake his head to attack the goal, but Pepe interferes very much with him. In the end, Long Bisheng's head-shaking attack misses the goal and is higher than the crossbar.

Long Bisheng shook his head, and Pepe also shook his head, and said something to Long Bisheng in Portuguese. Although Long Bisheng knew English, German and Italian, he had no experience with Portuguese, so he asked a question in English, but Pepe didn't understand. The two stared at each other for a while, and Long Bisheng turned his head and ran away.
