Chapter 218 The half-time champion who broke the record of the deadly enemy

Real Madrid ushered in the Copa del Rey game again at home after securing their top spot with a victory over Zaragoza.This time, Schuster played as a full substitute. The German has seriously thought about it. His main task in Real Madrid this season is to defend the league title.

Real Madrid's sluggishness in the Champions League for several consecutive years is also something he needs to improve, so for these two important fronts, he wisely gave up the tasteless Copa del Rey season.But even if he gave up, he would not yell loudly in the media, because this does not match Real Madrid's status as a wealthy family.

However, even if Real Madrid's players are substitutes, their strength is stronger than that of a third-tier team like Alicante. Special knocked out.

Next, Real Madrid went to challenge Levante away. This is the No.19 round of La Liga. Real Madrid is destined to win the half-time championship.But the key is whether it can break the 45-point half-time championship record held by rival Barcelona.At present, Real Madrid has 44 points in the league. As long as this game can be tied, it can be tied with the record, but for Real Madrid, as long as it is something from Barcelona, ​​it will be broken.

Facing Levante, it is necessary to win and break the record held by Barcelona.

"You all should know what this game means. There is nothing more exciting than breaking the record held by a sworn enemy."

In the locker room, after Schuster announced the starting lineup, he raised the morale of his players with one sentence.

In this game, the Germans slightly adjusted the starting lineup. Ramos was suspended for accumulative yellow cards, and the teenager Torres stepped up.And Marcelo also made the starting lineup because of his hard-working attitude these days.

There is still no change in midfield, Gago and Baptista's double midfielder partner, plus Robinho and Sneijder's wings.However, on the forward line, Higuain's goal in the previous game allowed Schuster to put him in the starting lineup and partner with Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Speaking of Levante, it is also a tragic team. Last season, Ruud van Nistelrooy started to find his shooting boots after scoring three goals on this team. After the season ended, he scored 27 goals for Real Madrid in the league. He scored a goal and won the European Golden Boot for the fourth time in his life.

And this season, Barcelona's Henry also scored three goals in this team, and regained the feeling of scoring. Now he is the top scorer in Barcelona's team.

This team is the target for super forwards to find their status.

This game determines whether Real Madrid can break the record of the deadly enemy and win the half-time championship, so the ratings are the highest in the entire La Liga.

However, after the winter break, Real Madrid did not show the invincible edge of the first half of the season.Several forwards are relatively slow to enter the state, and the same is true in this game.

In order not to become a victim of Real Madrid's record breaking in the first half, Levante put on a world problem at their Valencia City Stadium... an iron bucket formation.

Except for one striker who played a counterattack, the other ten people stayed in their own half.No matter how Gago lures them, they will shrink their heads like a tortoise, and they will fight as you please, unless you kill me in one blow.

Facing this kind of back-and-forth, the players of Real Madrid started to shoot on their own. Gago made two long-range shots in a row, but they either hit the dense crowd or missed the crossbar.

The first half passed in the midst of Real Madrid's banging shots. The score of 0:0 made all the fans watching this game drowsy.

Schuster couldn't come up with any good solutions when he was in the midfield. Facing dense defenses, long-range shots and set kicks are two effective weapons.However, Real Madrid's players took more than a dozen shots in the first half, but none of them were able to break through the opponent's defense. As for the set kick, the opponent also paid attention to the foul position and did not give Gago a better place to kick.

"In the second half, strengthen personal breakthroughs, force the opponent to foul, and win free kicks. If the position is good, Phil, use his own kicks. If not, use tactics."

After listening to Schuster's words, Gago, who was drinking water, nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Okay, guys, don't forget that what we want to break is the record of our sworn enemy, and we must not let the little Levante block our footsteps, work harder in the second half, put all your strength out, and kill them! "

Obviously, Schuster's words boosted the morale of the Real Madrid players. After the start of the second half, the Real Madrid players all started to break through.

Robinho is the most active person. As a new dad, his breakthrough on the wing is the best in the team, and he is also the person who can please the fans the most.The breakthrough technique was not only gorgeous but also effective. Gradually, Levante put the focus of defense on his side.

Seeing this situation, Gago was like a white cloud coming out of the mountains, and smartly inserted to the right. Robinho transferred the ball in time. After receiving the ball in the middle, Sneijder made another pass, giving to the right.

Gago used his maximum speed and got the ball before the opponent's defender came up to make a clearance.Then he dodged Tomasi with a light dunk, and accelerated the dribble to cut in from the right rib of the penalty area.

Levante's restricted area was full of people. Seeing Gago approaching, two people rushed over at the same time, wanting to force Gago out.

But at this moment, Gago swept his right foot directly and crossed towards the goal.The ball flashed through a gap between the running between the two defenders. Just as the pass passed, Levante's central defender Serrano raised his left hand in a hurry to block the ball.

"Handball!"

Seeing this scene, Gago immediately raised his right hand and signaled to the referee not far away that the opponent had handballed.

The referee hesitated for a moment. Due to his sight, he couldn't see clearly, but after consulting the line referee, he decisively awarded a penalty to Real Madrid.

"Oh, penalty, Gago made a contribution. His precise cross forced the opponent's defender to handball. From the slow motion, it was an undisputed penalty. Serrano took the initiative to extend his hand to block Gago's Pass."

After seeing the referee awarded a penalty kick, Schuster immediately jumped up from the coach's bench and raised his hand excitedly.

Ruud van Nistelrooy stood in front of the goal, he was the first penalty shooter, even Gago could not grab this position.

Levante's goalkeeper is very impressed with the king of the small penalty area. Can he not be impressed by being poured so many balls last season?

Facing the unimpressive goalkeeper in front of him, Van Nistelrooy made a slight feint with his ankle after the run-up, causing him to throw the ball into the lower left corner of the goal when he jumped to the right.

"what!"

After the goal, Van Nistelrooy came over and hugged Gago very happily. This is his tenth goal in the league this season, which is very commemorative.

And the time for this goal was No. 60 minutes. Levante had no way out and had to attack.Losing one goal and losing two goals are both losses, there is no difference.

Levante's coach Resino just hesitated for a second, and then came to the sidelines to signal the players to attack, and at the same time asked Ibrahimovic on the bench to warm up and prepare to replace the offensive players. Desperately.

Seeing Resino's actions, a trace of sarcasm appeared on the corner of Schuster's mouth, if you shrink back, I will have nothing to do with you.After sticking out my head, life and death are in my hands.The German used a substitution quota, and Guti, who scored in the previous game, replaced Baptista.

Sure enough, after 5 minutes, Real Madrid scored again. The fourteenth master who had just played used a light touch to change Gago's through ball and sent the ball to a gap in the middle.

Ruud van Nistelrooy took a decisive long-range shot, and the ball blasted into the upper right corner of the goal after Levante goalkeeper Kujovic jumped up.

"goooooooooooooooooooooal!"

"Rud, a beautiful world wave, scored twice. Every time he plays Levante, the Dutch are very excited. Can he complete another hat-trick in this game?"

The sharpness of the king of the small penalty area once again reminded the Levante players of the game last season, so they were persuaded.

Anyway, it's a loss. Losing two goals is better than losing three goals to the opponent. If the opponent performs a hat-trick again, this embarrassment will not only be a half-time championship.

After being awakened by Ruud van Nistelrooy's second goal, Levante ducked his head back again without the coach's command.

Facts have proved that their iron barrel array is still very effective.Gago didn't feel good on his feet today. A few free kicks were either sideways or high. If he played tactically, he was pushed out by the opponent with a large number of people.

In the end, Real Madrid relied on Ruud van Nistelrooy's brace to take all three points at the Valencia City Stadium.

Scored 47 points in the half, setting a historical points record after the implementation of the three-point system in La Liga!

After this game, the whole world is full of praises for Real Madrid. At this time, Real Madrid is far ahead in La Liga. With one more round, it is 2 more than No.[-] Barcelona.This gap lets all fans know that after four years of being free, Barcelona is finally going downhill.Ronaldinho's astonishing depravity this season has cost Barcelona dearly.

The first half of the season can be said to be the worst for Barcelona in four years. Not only was it pulled away by seven points in the league, but its unbeaten record in the home game of the century was broken.

Feng Shui turns, after Barcelona dominated La Liga for four years, it is finally the turn of Real Madrid again.

But even if the facts are in front of Rijkaard, the black swan will not give up. On the second day, when the newly promoted Messiah is at home, Barcelona will vent their grievances at the record-breaking goal of Real Madrid on this "innocent" ball on the team.

Ronaldinho has once again been left out of the squad for the game, and that doesn't mean anything to Camp Nou fans, who are used to living without the Brazilian following the rise of Lionel Messi.

In this game, Messi, who returned from injury, scored the first goal and assisted Eto'o to score a goal. In the end, Barcelona slaughtered Messia 4:0 at home.

"Even if they are 10:0, it doesn't matter. We are half-time champions and broke their record!"

On the second day, when Gago was interviewed by the media at the gate of the club, a soft sentence made the Barcelona fans extremely aggrieved.
