Chapter 74 A Dishes of Sand
"Sneder's unexpected pass Albiol made a comeback HOOOOOOOOOOONG--"
Amid the commentator's roar, Rong Guang appeared behind the defense line, and then he swung his left leg and pulled the football passed by Sneider into the goal.
Because the distance is too close, Casillas' reaction cannot keep up with the speed of the ball at all, and he is not able to possess God and save the ball.
When the football hit the ball hard on the net, the Bernabeu stadium suddenly became quiet.
The most terrifying thing happened, but Real Madrid fans were not ready yet, so he was stunned when facing the ball.
But soon, the commentator's seat went crazy.
"Rong Rongrong-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Rong scored twice. Manchester City led Real Madrid away. It was incredible that Real Madrid was two goals behind at home. This score almost declared the death of Real Madrid."
"The beautiful volleyball talent is fully displayed at this moment"
"Sneider and Rong Guang cooperated very well and passed the ball well. This cooperation completely broke through Real Madrid's defense."
"The great goal, Rong's second goal, has completely sent Real Madrid to a dead end"
At this time, the Real Madrid fans at the scene also reacted and booed.
But this booing was not given to Glory and Manchester City, but to Real Madrid's own players
Not only were there boos, but there were also a large number of white handkerchiefs on the stands.
Real Madrid fans took out the white handkerchiefs from their bags and waved them towards the rostrum.
This summer, Real Madrid bought Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, Benzema and Xavi Alonso. But the team's performance in the game was not satisfactory.
Because too many people have been replaced, the team has been in the running-in period for a long time and has not yet been formed.
And Florentino insisted on driving Robben and Sneider away. As a result, looking at Robben and Sneider's performance in their new owners, it was simply a naked slap in the face.
If Real Madrid had not sold Sneider and Robben, and the two of them plus the current Real Madrid players, what a terrible attack power would be.
At that time, what were Bordeaux and Manchester City?
How could we fall into this situation now?
Amid the booing and waving white handkerchief, Florentino's face turned black on the rostrum.
This game was a shame to him
This summer, Real Madrid, which was called "Galaxy Phase II" by the media, has problems even qualifying for the Champions League group stage, which is simply ironic...
Beside him, Fasim stood up, clapping and cheering desperately, and the applause and cheering came to his ears, making him feel harsh.

After scoring the goal, Rong Guang turned around to find Sneider and hugged him with the Dutch.
After Sneider joined the team, he did greatly reduce the defensive pressure he faced. For example, if Sneider hadn't been to Sneider, the opponent could put half of the defense line on him, so it would almost seem impossible for him to run out of such a gap.
Now, with Sneider, Real Madrid must guard Sneider when defending, so that they can run calmly.
With Sneider's passing organization in the frontcourt, his glory is like a tiger.
Sneider was also very happy.
The two hugged each other, and then other Manchester City players rushed up to surround them.
※※※
While Manchester City players were celebrating wildly, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo stood together, and the two looked at each other.
How did it become like this?
They saw such questions in each other's eyes.
Yes, the powerful Real Madrid, with them and other outstanding players, and why is it two goals behind Manchester City in the game when they are at home and against the enemy?
He was beaten to no avail.
They couldn't figure it out.
※※※
Pellegrini sat on the coach's seat and looked at the court with a frown.
Behind two goals, the gap is getting bigger and bigger. He has to do something to save his coaching career at Real Madrid.
He wants to adjust and replace people.
But who will be the one who changed?
Replace Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka?
No, these two people are players Florentino's hand-selected...
So should Raul be replaced?
Now on the bench, sitting Benzema.
Like Raul, they are all strikers.
It would be nothing to change to Benzema, but if Raul was replaced... it really takes courage.
Raul is the captain of Real Madrid and the banner of Real Madrid. When he was two goals behind, he replaced him. What he had to consider was not only football but also political issues.
Replacing Raul is not only a technical substitution, but also a political substitution.
Florentino didn't like Raul and was determined to let Raul leave.
But fans and media like Raul.
You can imagine what kind of uproar will cause in the media the next day.
After thinking about it, Pellegrini finally made a decision.
Replace Raul Gonzalez and replace Benzema, who Florentino had specially invited to France.
It's risky to do this, but if the game can be regained, then the risk is worth it.
Originally, Raul had little contribution to offense now. He was more running around the field to help defend, but he did not appear in the right position he should have appeared.
Pellegrini hopes to rely on Benzema's impact and speed to cause some trouble for Manchester City's rear drop.
But this substitution is really too bold...
So when the fourth official raised the substitution sign not long after the game restarted, the booing in the stands became even stronger.
This booed the question of Pellegrini.
Everyone saw that Benzema was standing on the sidelines, and the sign in the fourth official clearly showed the Arabic numeral "7".
No.7 Raul is going to be replaced
The commentators were stunned, let alone Raul.
However, Raul's sense of responsibility was reflected at this time. He did not show any dissatisfaction. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he took off the captain's armband in his hand, then ran all the way to goalkeeper Casillas, handed the captain's armband to him, and then turned around and ran to the sidelines.
He is buying time for the team and trying not to delay this substitution for too long.
He then slapped Benzema with high fives on the sidelines and completed the substitution handover.
He walked to the bench and shook hands with head coach Pellegrini on the way, and sat back.
"Real Madrid took the lead in making substitution adjustments, but what was somewhat surprising was that Pellegrini replaced Raul..."
"Actually, it's okay to replace Raul. In this game, except for that goal, Raul's performance was not particularly good, especially after the team fell behind, he helped defense more often and made a small contribution to the offense. But I still think Pellegrini's substitution is very bold. After all, replacing Raul... This is a very controversial substitution, which seems to be telling everyone that when Real Madrid encounters difficulties, Raul can't help, and the team no longer needs their captain..."
"Pellegrini can be said to have lost the game. If Real Madrid loses this game, his substitution will definitely become the focus of everyone's debate after the game..."
※※※
The booing in the stands continued, but it was a little smaller than before, and the price of attention was still in the game.
The game is not over yet, and there are still thirty minutes left for Real Madrid.
Will Real Madrid equalize the score in these thirty minutes?
This is the biggest suspense of this game.
First, Real Madrid must score one goal first to narrow the gap to one goal.
However, after the game began, Real Madrid fans found that the team's situation did not improve fundamentally.
After Raul's offense ended, the team's offense was still disorderly. Everyone was fighting on their own and could not form a whole. Although Xavi Alonso was the organizer, he was a midfielder after all, with a low position and a little far from Manchester City's penalty area, and he could not pass a deadly pass.
He's more of a long pass.
But what Real Madrid needs now is a delicate short pass.
If Sneider is still on the team, this problem will be solved...
Kaka is a front midfielder, but he is better at scoring than organizing offense.
Granero is a midfielder, but on the one hand, he has limited ability and on the other hand, he is too famous. The big-name teammates in the team do not trust him and rarely give him the opportunity.
On the other hand, after Raul got off the court, Cristiano Ronaldo became the biggest star left on the court. Naturally, he had Raul's privilege. He no longer needed to pass the football to Raul. As long as he got the ball, he could do it himself.
Whether it is shooting or breaking through, he is more willing to believe in himself and want to change the outcome of the game on his own.
This makes Real Madrid's offense like a mess.
Time passed by minute by minute, Real Madrid's offense did not improve, and fans could not see the hope of equalizing the score or the hope of scoring goals.
With the addition of glory, Robinho and others have the ability to counterattack in the frontcourt, which makes Real Madrid's back line dare not press on to participate in the offense and support the frontcourt.
An atmosphere of despair spread in the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium.
The few Manchester City fans in the stands were singing and dancing, starting to count down, preparing to celebrate the victory.
The commentators also believed that Real Madrid's hopes for not losing this game were slim.
They began to criticize Real Madrid's signing policy this summer, criticizing Florentino's idea of "Galaxy Battleship II".
