Smiling Proudly

Chapter 186 I need to work harder

Next, Marcelo made a cross, and central defender Varane ran into the penalty area. He received a pass from Marcelo and a header also missed the goal.

"It's really going backwards. The three central defenders of our team can all head the ball and like to attack."

It was another round of offensive and defensive exchanges. When Wang Yi passed the ball to Benzema, Benzema stopped the ball and was intercepted by former Atletico Madrid midfielder Raul Garcia. Breaking through Kovacic's defense, at this time Real Madrid's Modric and Kroos were both in the opposing half, so Raul Garcia was allowed to dribble the ball to the front of the penalty area. Now, then Real Madrid will definitely become the background board in a few years, at least when the world football inventory is scored, it will definitely be mentioned vigorously.

But Raul Garcia dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area and adjusted it, but with such an adjustment, Pepe pushed directly up, interfered with Raul Garcia, and he shot wide.Raúl Garcia and his teammates lamented that his one-stop dribble failed to score a goal.

Wang Yi saw that the head coach of Athletic Bilbao had already raised his hands to celebrate, but in the end he could only turn around and beat the baffle of the bench.

Navas kicked off and passed it directly to Ronaldo. At this time, Ronaldo retreated deeply to get the ball.

After Ronaldo took the ball, he didn't rush forward directly. After observing it, he gave the ball to Modric, and let the organizer do the work of organizing. After passing the ball, Ronaldo started to speed up and run forward. He knew According to the tacit understanding between him and Modric, as long as he runs in place, Modric can pass 8% of the time.

Sure enough, Modric slid his left foot to the left 10 meters before the top of the penalty area. Ronaldo cut in and got the ball.

Then things went very smoothly, Ronaldo suddenly changed direction, and Athletic Bilbao's central defender Laporte actually ate it and fell directly to the ground. In this way, Athletic Bilbao's defense line A large hole was exposed.

Ronaldo wanted to take one more step forward, but now such a good opportunity, Ronaldo shot straight away.

"Shh-"

The ball scored, Wang Yi felt that he couldn't keep up, turned his head to look in the direction of Ronaldo, and Ronaldo had already jumped up high in his unique celebration.

Benitez on the sidelines also waved his fist in relief.

Now that the team doesn't score first, he feels that he can't sit still at all.

Wang Yi also ran over to celebrate with Ronaldo.

Wang Yi had to admire Ronaldo, Wang Yi thought in his heart, if the ball was Wang Yi, even if he saw Laporte fall, he would still want to take a step forward and shoot for stability.

But Ronaldo shot directly when he thought of it, decisively.

"Yes, decisiveness. A shooter must be decisive, but it also needs skills and a body that can keep up. Hey, am I a bit like the apprentice in Football Manager now, but Ronaldo doesn't know that's all."

The advantage of being on a team with a superstar is here, you can see how the superstar trains and plays at close range.Including some living habits.

Wang Yi has decided to follow Ronaldo all the way.

Now it's time to start on the field.

40 minutes into the first half, the game went exactly as Benitez expected, and Real Madrid took the lead in the first half.

The rest of the first half was also in control of the situation on the court.

"Even without Isco, it seems that he can control it. The main reason is that the opponent's defense line is not good. But in the first half, Kovacic didn't do much except for the rush shot. It stands to reason that his propulsion attribute should be here. If it doesn’t work, replace James in 60 minutes and see.”

Benitez said to the assistant.

Immediately after the first half the game was over.

The assistant looked at Benitez's back and thought of the heroic deeds of his boss back then. Benitez had started 99 consecutive games with different starters during his time at Liverpool.

This is of course an unprecedented record in world football. Of course, this record is only limited to the top league.

The assistant himself has friends. He heard from his friends that the atmosphere in the Liverpool team was not very good at that time, because for the players, this so-called thing that looked like a competition for a job was not a competition for a job at all. The head coach carried out his own experiments. For example, today Benitez felt that the player in this formation was suitable, so he would remove the main players and replace them with a substitute. S looks like a good fit for his formation.Although it is wonderful, Benitez led the team to win Liverpool's fifth Champions League championship at that time, so there was no opposition from the top management of the team or the team, even if the atmosphere in the team was a little bit bad. (For this matter, you can read Gerrard’s later autobiography, which contains a long complaint about Benitez)
During the intermission, Benitez made arrangements for the second half, but he didn't directly call the names, he just said something.

"If there is no change in the midfield, James will be replaced in the 60th minute of the second half."

Whoever heard this said that he was going to Kovacic?
But no one said anything, Kovacic did perform very mediocre in the first half.

Modric sat next to Kovacic.He whispered something to Kovacic. The two were from the same hometown and both came from the same club.So Modric also takes good care of his little brother.

The second half of the game had just started, indeed, Kovacic became active, and Wang Yi didn't know why Kovacic played so poorly in the first half.

However, I am not very familiar with him now, so I didn't ask.

Wang also started to be active in the second half, and his performance in the first half was mediocre.

So work harder.

So, in the second half, Wang Yi started to run wildly, looking for opportunities with crazy running.

Modric naturally saw it, so he also passed the ball to Wang Yi many times at the beginning of the second half.

After Wang Yi got the ball, his first choice was to cut inside. As for after cutting inside, he chose to pass the ball more.

Because, for some reason, Laporte, who was knocked down in the first half, seemed to have changed in the second half. He changed his position and became a left central defender. If you can't kick, you can only pass.

In the second half, even if Laporte knew his shame and was brave, he couldn't change the score. In the end, relying on Ronaldo's goal in the first half, Real Madrid won a wave of five consecutive victories.

Wang Yi took the initiative to find Laporte after the game.

"Why did you switch positions in the second half? You switched to my side."

Laporte glanced at Wang Yi strangely, "I'm a left-footed center back, of course I play left center back. As for why I changed positions, I couldn't defend against Ronaldo in the first half, so why don't I switch to defend you?"

Wang Yi was stunned.What does this kid mean.
