The strongest winger

Chapter 888 Defensive Real Madrid

James Rodriguez repeated what Ai Luo had just said, and immediately felt a sense of sublimation in his soul. The tension that had accompanied him since the start of the game disappeared in the blink of an eye. The corner of his eye happened to catch the football flying over at this moment, and his body quickly adjusted to prepare to catch the ball.

The on-site commentator Seahead was a little puzzled about Ai Luo's jumping for the top and giving the ball to James Rodriguez, because David Silva, who is five meters to the right, is in a better position, and James Rodriguez's state is not ideal in the past few minutes.

Xavi Alonso watched James Rodriguez stretch his feet to take the ball, and suddenly accelerated and cut his body across. He was going to use his body to cut off the connection between football and James Rodriguez.

And he also saw Ozil approaching from the corner of his eye. If he can successfully intercept the ball and give the ball to the spiritual Ozil, coupled with the super scoring ability of Cristiano Ronaldo, then it is not impossible to play a textbook-like quick counterattack!
Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines directing the battle, also seemed to smell a hint of a quick counterattack. His vision was wider than that of Xavi Alonso on the field. Ozil's close response and the running positions of Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, it is time to witness the power of the defensive counterattack after a week of rehearsal!
Thinking of this, Mourinho secretly clenched his fists in the windbreaker pockets, and he looked very energetic, as if the bad luck of Barcelona's disastrous away defeat in the last round was swept away.

But... the premise of everything is to successfully steal the ball.

James Rodriguez sensed Xavi Alonso's intentions the moment he was about to catch the ball. The toe of his right foot, which was about to stop the ball, slammed to the lower right of the football. The innate football talent of South American players was fully displayed at this time. The football flew to the upper left of Xavi Alonso's body under the surprised eyes of Xavi Alonso.

Xavi Alonso under-anticipated, want to make a second reaction is too late.

Because James Rodriguez quickly retracted his foot after picking the football with the toe of his right foot, and stretched his right leg, getting stuck in the place where Xavi Alonso turned left.

Reasonable slot!

Immediately afterwards, James Rodriguez used his chest to push the football that fell in midair forward, and used the instep of his right foot to unload the ball on the ground while running, and broke forward!

Everyone was a little underprepared for James Rodriguez to change his previous decline, so that when he dribbled the ball to 35 meters, he met the experienced central defender Carvalho. Due to the lack of a ball, James Rodriguez kicked the ball to the left with the inside of his right foot.

The angle of the football is very tricky. Casillas moved two steps to the right, flew sideways, and held the ball out of the baseline with one palm.

At the same time, a huge exclamation erupted from the sky above the Bernabéu Stadium.

At this time, the players on both sides of the court realized that James Rodriguez, who had been performing very poorly before, seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. Judging from the pick-and-roll just now, he looked like an elf on the football field. Where did he make frequent mistakes?
Hyde in the commentary seat opened his mouth half-opened, and immediately changed his voice after being relieved, and said, "I'm sorry, I take back all the words I just criticized James...His previous slump was just to confuse the Real Madrid players. His dribbling, high-speed dribbling and shooting just now are all good proofs that he is a young player with outstanding talent! 500 million euros is very worthwhile! Come on!!"

"Good guy!" Ai Luo smiled and ran to James Rodriguez, touching the latter's head affectionately.

The other Valencia players did the same, patting their shoulders, rubbing their heads, or hugging each other...

James Rodriguez looked very embarrassed in the face of Ai Luo and his teammates who rushed over to cheer him up, and the shyness unique to young people was undoubtedly revealed.

With the beautiful pick and the wonderful long-range shot after the raid just now, James Rodriguez’s self-confidence has been greatly increased, and Valencia’s offense has also become enriched because of him. Compared with David Silva’s organizational ability, James Rodriguez’s forward ability is stronger, and he also has a certain organizational ability.

That is to say, James Rodriguez can relieve David Silva's organizational pressure when he can't organize the offense smoothly, and when David Villa and Aiello have insufficient forward space, James Rodriguez can act as the team's second striker and then insert and participate in assists, bringing new changes to the team's offense and making Real Madrid's defensive players hard to defend.

As time passed, Valencia's attack became more threatening, so that Mourinho could not stand in the designated area and command the game calmly.

No. 12 minutes, when Aiello and David Villa were strictly guarded against by James Rodriguez, he took the ball in the middle and made a wall-hit cooperation with Ailuo with his back to the goal, and then shot a long shot directly.

Had it not been for Casillas' good positioning, James Rodriguez's long shot from about 26 meters from the goal would have knocked on the door.

"Lass, pay attention to the advance of the opponent's No. 28. If necessary, let Sami and Harvey help you take care of it!" James Rodriguez became more and more active, almost occupying 2/3 of Valencia's threatening offense.

After Real Madrid made the latest adjustments at home, James Rodriguez's activity space was forcibly compressed.

However, his football IQ is indeed very high. After knowing that he was being targeted by the Real Madrid defenders, he did not force a breakthrough because of his recent outstanding performance. Instead, he passed the ball to Aiello or David Silva who gained space, and they tried to find a way on the side.

Gradually, Mourinho found that instead of restricting James Rodriguez, it is better to focus on Aiello, because the latter is more threatening to the goal.

Aiello has a very strong scoring ability and a broad vision. Just now, he took advantage of a loophole in Real Madrid's defense to pass behind Marcelo. If Azpilicueta's pass was not slightly hesitant, then whether it was David Villa or Aiello who came to the middle of the penalty area, they would all have a good chance to kick.

During this period of time, under the organization of Xavi Alonso and Ozil, Real Madrid's offense also played several wonderful offenses, but Cristiano Ronaldo looked a little impatient, and his shots were either high or wide.

In the 19th minute of the game, the broadcaster gave the ball possession ratio of the two sides. Valencia, who played away, had an advantage with 61% of the ball possession rate.

This time, it happened that Valencia, which had the ball possession advantage, was organizing the attack. David Silva, who was attacking the right rib, went straight to find the right back Azpilicueta who was plugging in at high speed. Due to his excessive strength, Azpilicueta also lost the best time to make a cross in order to stop the football. He had to pass the ball back to the organizer David Silva.

David Silva didn't even lift his head. The arch of his right foot gave the ball directly to James Rodriguez, who was responding laterally. The latter gave the ball, stopped the football with his left foot comfortably, and looked up in the direction of the penalty area, looking for a point of exit.

Las Diarra, who stayed in the defensive 30-meter area, and Ozil, who recovered to the center defense, pulled out and jointly interfered with James Rodriguez.

At this time, David Villa, who had crossed the penalty area line, suddenly accelerated to the front right. Khedira, who was protecting the top of the penalty area, turned around quickly, trying to get stuck in the front point, and central defender Pepe also followed David Villa.

At the same time, Aiello at the far end suddenly accelerated following David Villa's forward penetration. Carvalho and Arbeloa, who returned to the penalty area, used Ailuo's body to cover the referee's vision, and secretly grabbed Ailuo's jersey with their hands to prevent him from speeding up easily.

James Rodriguez rubbed the instep of his left foot directly to the point behind the penalty area, which is on Aiello's forward route.

Carvalho is the kind of player who relies on consciousness to defend, so he is doomed to have insufficient confrontation ability. In addition, he is also 32 years old this year. If he is not paying attention, he only hears the sound of fabric tearing, and Ai Luo relies on his super explosive force to accelerate away.

Abeloa's right hand was also stuttering, and he instinctively let go.

Finished!

These two words were the only words left in Carvalho's mind.

But at the next moment, he felt like he was in a desperate situation, because the football had no obvious arc in midair, which meant that Ai Luo needed to stop suddenly to get the football.

Ai Luo hurriedly braked and stopped, and Abeloa hugged Ai Luo's waist from behind with quick eyesight and quick hands.

Because he could see from the corner of his eye that there were no defensive players between Carvalho and Pepe, if Aiello parked the ball forward comfortably, the goal miss rate would exceed 90%!

The Real Madrid fans in the stands were terrified when they saw Arbeloa's defensive action. If Ai Luo fell to the ground, it would definitely be a penalty!
The referee frowned, and put the whistle in his mouth with his right hand, as if waiting for Ai Luo to fall to the ground.

Originally, Ai Luo was planning to stop the ball with the instep of his right foot before hitting the goal, but now with the interference of Arbeloa, he became a little at a loss.

Fall down, Bo penalty?
This possibility was directly denied by Ai Luo as soon as it appeared in his mind.

So... a forced shot?
