I Just Can Score

“The ball went in—!”

"C-Ronaldo's penalty kick missed, Zhen Shaolong successfully rushed forward and completed the follow-up shot! Real Madrid leads Universidad Sport de Quito by one goal!"

"1 to 0!"

"This game is Zhen Shaolong's first appearance on behalf of Real Madrid, and his debut at the Bernabeu Stadium! In the 28th minute, he scored his first goal for Real Madrid, a very exciting follow-up shot!"

"He beat everyone to it!"

"Let's take a look at the slow motion...C-Ronaldo made a free throw. In an instant, Zhen Shaolong was rushing forward. He was faster than others and his goal was more determined. From the slow motion, it seemed that he knew where the ball would fall. , but this is obviously impossible!”

"This is Zhen Shaolong!"

"He scored many similar goals while playing for St. Pauli and Newcastle United in the past. He is a natural shooter, and his sense of smell in front of the goal is shocking!"

"..."

This goal was an opportunity created by Ronaldo. In the end, Zhen Shaolong seized the opportunity and scored the ball.

The credit for both men is the same.

But when the goal happened, most people chose to forget about C-Ronaldo, because it is always the person who scored the goal that is the focus, and C-Ronaldo's missed penalty kick was impressive.

If we talk about scoring goals again, many people will say, "C-Ronaldo missed the penalty kick! Fortunately, Zhen Shaolong reacted quickly enough!"

In fact, the penalty kick was created by Ronaldo.

But no matter what the process is, the world of football is like this. It is always the player who scores the goal that attracts attention. Zhen Shaolong has become the hero of the goal. C-Ronaldo also has credit, but the failure to score a penalty kick erases the credit.

C-Ronaldo feels very depressed.

The moment Zhen Shaolong completed the goal, he had a bad premonition about the future. When he celebrated the goal, he felt depressed when he recalled the process, "I created the penalty kick!"

"I'll shoot the free throws!"

"Even if I didn't score, it was still the opportunity I found!"

"As a result...you scored a goal,

The cheers of the whole audience are given to you..." C-Ronaldo felt very depressed and was not even in the mood to celebrate. He only gave Zhen Shaolong a symbolic hug, and then walked aside lonely.

He was a little sad.

The mood of other Real Madrid players is not much better. In fact, most of the old players put C-Ronaldo and Zhen Shaolong together. Both of them are super stars who landed in Real Madrid. They don't care who the outside world pays more attention to. I think the goal was achieved by the two working together, and the goal just proves the excellence of the two.

Many teammates had complicated expressions.

For one thing, they were not convinced by the ‘airborne superstars’.

Secondly, they also hope to have good teammates, preferably teammates of top superstars, so that Real Madrid can perform better, instead of always being suppressed in La Liga, instead of always falling in the top 16 of the Champions League.

This is the paradox.

soon.

The game starts again.

Zhen Shaolong's goal made many people look forward to it even more. Fans felt that it was a good start. The first goal will be followed by the second, and the second one will not be too far away. After completing the goal and finding confidence, everyone Probability will perform better.

But a good start doesn't mean everything will be smooth sailing.

For a long period of time, it was still difficult for Zhen Shaolong to get the ball in front. Real Madrid's overall performance was still at its original rhythm. The players who performed well were still Guti, Alonso and Higuain. Another player who performed well was , C-Ronaldo, he looks more like a lone ranger, repeatedly completing wonderful breakthroughs, but unable to find opportunities for the team in front of the goal.

The game lasted forty minutes, and some people started to think.

The most influential one is naturally head coach Pellegrini. The situation Zhen Shaolong encountered on the court was not unexpected. Without the active support of his teammates, it was indeed difficult for him to get the ball in the frontcourt. The only goal he relied on was Personal prediction has nothing to do with the team as a whole.

"Still... Guti can't do it!"

Pellegrini let out a long sigh. The purpose of sending Guti was to help Zhen Shaolong find opportunities, but Guti didn't seem to do so. He and Zhen Shaolong had no tacit understanding at all. There have not been two passes in the game so far.

"Looks like it's better to let Guti go!"

Pellegrini glanced at the bench and found a target, "Let Granero go up and try. He usually cooperates more with Zhen Shaolong."

————

Guti didn't know that because he didn't take the initiative to cooperate with Zhen Shaolong, he was deemed to have "poor performance" and was decided to be substituted.

He was still very active.

But no matter how active they are, they may not always be able to find opportunities. Universidad Sport de Quito is not a rookie team as imagined. Their overall performance is still good, especially in terms of coordination, it is much better than Real Madrid. The weak point is that there is no way ' Player ability.

This is incomparable!

Most of Real Madrid's entire lineup is made up of top stars. If you randomly find a player in the lineup, there is a high probability that it will be more valuable than Universidad Sport de Quito. Their performance is quite good. The goal is guarded most of the time, and the frontcourt is also weak. Got one or two chances, but the strikers failed to seize them.

Intermission.

Pellegrini didn't talk about tactics, because there is no point in talking about tactics. There are only two weeks to prepare for the summer. The new and old players can only say that they just remembered their names. There is no tacit understanding at all. Tactical training Not many games were held, and most of the games relied on the cooperation of veteran players and the individual performances of stars.

He talked about substitutions.

Guti, Salgado, and Gago were replaced, and Granero, Ramos, and Diarra came on.

Guti didn't care about being substituted, because he was just one of three people who came off the field at once. After all, it was just a warm-up match. The Peace Cup was of no significance to Real Madrid. Playing forty-five minutes in the warm-up match was not bad.

Granero replaced Guti as a full-back.

Real Madrid's three substitutions did not attract much attention, because there was no Kaká among the players who were replaced, and most of the players who were replaced did not attract much attention, even the famous Ramos, who played for In Real Madrid's three seasons, he is another defender who has not been noticed, and there is hardly anything to look forward to.

Granero was very excited and a little nervous.

Granero's mentality is different from that of most of his teammates. Other teammates are not worried about playing. They are either the absolute main players in the team, well-known stars in world football, or players between the main substitutes, or other players. It's okay to occupy a position, but Granero is completely a fringe player, even a fringe player who is very worried about being given up.

Now that Pellegrini has given him a chance to play, it proves that he has not been completely given up.

For comparison, look at Van Nistelrooy.

Van Nistelrooy is a well-known forward star, but he played too few games last season and had almost no performance to speak of. After Zhen Shaolong, Ronaldo, and Kaka joined one after another, Van Nistelrooy has been basically abandoned and did not even enter this game. Big list.

Everyone knew it was only a matter of time before Van Nistelrooy left.

Therefore, getting a chance to play in the warm-up match is enough to make Granero happy, but he also knows his situation. Not to mention his outstanding performance in the warm-up match, he must not perform too poorly, otherwise he will still be given up by the club.

There is still one month left before the end of the summer transfer window, and anything can happen. Maybe the club finds out that he is not performing well and will go to the transfer market to find a more suitable midfield substitute instead of keeping him on the team.

“How can I perform well?”

Granero has long wanted to understand the performance problem. He knows that it is difficult to surpass his teammates in skills, and there is also a big gap in experience. In terms of his ability level, no matter how hard he works, he can only perform at a mediocre level at best, and he will not be singled out for problems. Thank God.

Maybe it's because of Zhen Shaolong that he gets the chance to play now?

"So I want to create opportunities for Zhen Shaolong. This is probably what Mr. Pellegrini thinks. He hopes that I can help Zhen Shaolong find his form."

Granero thought hard.

When the second half started, Granero looked for Zhen Shaolong's position when he had the ball. As long as he could successfully pass the ball, he ignored other people's requests for the ball and simply kicked the ball to Zhen Shaolong, even if there were people defending Zhen Shaolong. There is a high probability that he will be snatched away, and he will do so without hesitation.

This makes other Real Madrid players a little depressed.

Now there are problems on both the left and right sides of the Real Madrid field. Ronaldo is a lone ranger. It is difficult to pass the football back. Granero can pass the ball, but there is a high probability that he will only pass it to Zhen Shaolong. It means that the football is still in the past. There is no way to come back, and there is no way to launch an attack just relying on the middle.

This is still a question of ability.

The current midfielder is the combination of Alonso and Diarra, which is also the 'perfect' combination in Pellegrini's mind. However, neither of them are the kind of stars who are good at breakthroughs. They only rely on 'unskilled' cooperation. Just using unskilled cooperation in the middle to break through the blockade of the Quito Sports University is still a little too much. It would be almost the same if one of them is Kaká.

Alonso and Diarra have no idea of ​​relying solely on the center. They are not the pure 'Spanish gang' within Real Madrid.

Alonso is a Spanish player, but he has just moved to Real Madrid and is not very familiar with others; Diarra is simply a French black man and naturally cannot be familiar with the "Spanish Gang". He cares more about his own performance.

Now there are problems on both wings on the field, but it is not their problem. It can be said that the performance in the middle is not bad.

So just kick normally.

After Real Madrid's offense passed through the middle, it was handed over to the two wingers continuously. Ronaldo and Granero both had many opportunities.

C-Ronaldo's consecutive shining breakthroughs made the fans around him excited.

Granero is all about passing the ball.

When the football was continuously passed to Zhen Shaolong, the Quito Sports University defense also became tighter on Zhen Shaolong. They even found it a bit funny, because Granero's passing was hard to say how good it was. There were defensive players around Zhen Shaolong for a long time, and he passed the ball with three feet. The ball may be lost directly twice, and it is difficult to find a chance to catch it the only time.

"What's the use of passing the ball to Zhen Shaolong continuously?"

Quito players thought.

Most Real Madrid players also think so, because Zhen Shaolong receives the ball in a position where it is difficult to say there is any chance. The outside of the penalty area is defended by the opponent's defender, and it is difficult to create a shooting opportunity when getting the ball, unless it is like C-Ronaldo in the first half. Suddenly showing off his amazing foot skills, he broke through and put the ball into the penalty area.

"Granero is wasting the opportunity. His pass to Zhen Shaolong is equivalent to giving the ball to the opponent!"

Many Real Madrid players were dissatisfied.

Their dissatisfaction was not only with Granero, but also with Zhen Shaolong, because Zhen Shaolong had the ball intercepted three times.

this time.

After Granero got the ball, he glanced at Zhen Shaolong's position and continued to pass the ball without hesitation. Of course he knew the dissatisfaction of his teammates, but what he should do in the situation was to help Zhen Shaolong find his condition.

Even if Zhen Shaolong does not perform well, as long as he does this, he will be helpful to the team, the coaching staff will be very satisfied with him, and he will be the hero of Zhen Shaolong's finding of form, and his game performance will be secondary.

This is where Granero is smart.

However, several passes were intercepted, and Granero also felt a little depressed. After he passed the ball, he still thought in disappointment, "Maybe it was intercepted!"

Then.

He discovered that Zhen Shaolong had successfully gotten the ball.

Zhen Shaolong showed very superb ball control skills. When the football rushed from behind, he turned his back to the ball and competed with the opponent's defender for position. There seemed to be no time to catch the ball in the process, but he kicked up his back heel while running, which was just right. He clicked on the ball, and then it strangely came to him. The process was so smooth and smooth that it was shocking.

"pretty!"

"This stop is full of imagination!"

Zhen Shaolong ignited the enthusiasm of the entire stadium with just one catch. In fact, he just activated the 'football following effect' of "Strike". The defensive players next to him never thought that he could stop the ball so easily. , still looking left and right to find the position of the ball.

"Where's the ball?"

"Should you be coming over?"

In the confusion of the opponent, Zhen Shaolong accelerated his sprint and left the opponent behind in a few steps. Then he changed direction and bypassed another defender who was coming, and rushed into the penalty area with the ball.

Cheers erupted from the surrounding stands.

"Zhen Shaolong! Zhen Shaolong! He dribbled the ball into the penalty area! Look at this ball..." As the game commentator shouted, the situation on the court became extremely tense.

Zhen Shaolong lived up to expectations.

After dribbling the ball into the penalty area, other opponents players did not have time to rush over immediately. Zhen Shaolong successfully slipped out of the space. He glanced at the goal and swung his right foot directly before others came over.

"Bang!"

The foot collides directly with the football!

Powerful shot!

The football soared into the sky on the grass, drawing a high path, and Hong rushed towards the far corner of the goal without hesitation.

The goalkeeper of Universidad Sport de Quito tried his best to jump up, but the path of the ball was too high, and he could only touch the air above his head.

Wave your wrist.

Turn around.

Watch the football hit the net.

The next moment, the Bernabeu spectators' stands were filled with excitement.

"Two to zero!"

"The second goal still belongs to Zhen Shaolong. This is a wonderful personal performance! Let's take a look at the stoppage just now..."
