Chapter 34 Chemical Reactions(1/2)
Chu Zhongtian plays in more leagues, and he will always encounter several people.
For example, Sevilla midfielder Romarik, who is now defending him in front of him. He once played with him in the Ligue 1 League. Romarik also played for Le Mans at that time. Metz was very popular in the Ligue 1 League in those two years, and Chu Zhongtian was also very famous. In comparison, Romarik was much less famous.
Romarik is a player with both offense and defense, with a perfect combination of offense and defense. He has outstanding long-range shooting ability, a set piece and average running ability, but he can always appear in the position he should appear. In modern football, he is one of the few players who have the ability to play single midfielder. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time. In the Ivory Coast, he has Jokola and Yaya Toure, and he has no chance to get on the position.
The transfer from Ligue 1 to Sevilla is also a proof of his ability.
Chu Zhongtian knew Romarik but had no deep impression of him. On the contrary, Romarik knew Chu Zhongtian and had a deep impression of him.
When he was in the French Ligue 1, Romarik had faced Chu Zhongtian and had almost no chance of winning. Romarik lost miserably, both individually and team.
At that time, Metz was very powerful and had a large number of talented players. After Ribery left the team, Chu Zhongtian was the well-deserved Metz number one star.
How could Romarik not be familiar with it?
Now facing Chu Zhongtian again, both of them are no longer in their respective teams, but there is no change. Chu Zhongtian is still high above, while Romarik is looking up from below while trying to catch up. Chu Zhongtian has gone from a League Cup championship to a Champions League champion, and the team he plays for has also changed from a dark horse in Ligue 1 to a La Liga giant Real Madrid.
Romarik would never underestimate the person in front of him. He interfered with Chu Zhongtian with his hands and feet.
Chu Zhongtian protected the football with his body. He did not pass the ball immediately because he felt that the timing of passing the ball forward was not very good. The situation of the game was like flowing water, and every minute and every second was different. Chu Zhongtian planned to wait a moment before watching.
Although Real Madrid's characteristic is fast, it does not mean that it must be fast at any time, from the first minute of the score to the end. That is Hoffenheim's style, because Hoffenheim lacks the ability and confidence to change. Real Madrid is different. Sometimes, if you don't get fast, you have to slow down. Real Madrid, who plays slow, can also score goals, but it only requires more patience.
※※※ Another midfielder of Sevilla, Renato, saw that Romarik had entangled Chu Zhongtian, rushed up to block the defense and planned to take the opportunity to steal.
Chu Zhongtian had his back to him, and he believed that Chu Zhongtian could not know that he had rushed up.
He didn't know that Chu Zhongtian could know the situation on the field without looking back. Renato had just run halfway through, and Chu Zhongtian put the ball between him and Romarik and gave it to Khedira.
Then he turned around and ran forward.
Of course, Romarik knew what he was going to do and followed closely. At the same time, he waved to Renato and signaled him to return to defense quickly. Otherwise, Chu Zhongtian and Real Madrid would definitely take advantage of the space left after he rushed up.
Renato also realized that he had lost his position. As a midfielder, the most terrifying thing was not that he did not score the ball, but that he lost his position. He quickly turned around and ran back.
Chu Zhongtian rushed forward, pressing Renato and Romarik against going anywhere, and then waved his hand. Khedira passed the football to Ozil in the ribs.
Because of Chu Zhongtian's front pressure, Sevilla's midfield defense was focused on him, but his defense against Ozil was not so strict.
Ozil received the ball and quickly turned around. Facing Sevilla's central defender, he did not rush to pass the ball, but was waiting for his teammates to answer.
Now Real Madrid's offense has hit the front of Sevilla's penalty area, which is a very dangerous area. Ozil, Kaka, C. Ronaldo and the striker Higuain who started this game are actively running and looking for opportunities.
c. Ronaldo went to the penalty area from the left, as if he wanted Ozil to pass the football directly to him, which attracted Sevilla's right-back Sergio Sanchez to retreat from the penalty area. At this moment, Ozil passed the football to the side. Left-back Marcelo inserted at high speed and received the ball!
Although Marcelo's cross did not form a shot in the end, it could also be regarded as Real Madrid's long shot after Negredo started the game.
※※※Ozil's wonderful legend makes people applaud him, and Marcelo's timely uploading also reflects the value of him as a full-back.
Fifteen minutes into the game, Kaka still had no performance.
But he was not very impatient because he was thinking about what Chu Zhongtian said to him last night.
"Actually, there is no need to take so much responsibility on yourself. You just need to show your own characteristics. Don't think about everything else, how to organize the offense, how to mobilize the entire team, how to make the opponent's defense flaw... Don't consider these. If you don't believe it, try tomorrow's game, and see if the situation will improve."
He is planning to give it a try now.
In this short period of time, he seemed to have disappeared. He rarely raised his hand and asked for it. He no longer ran from left to right, and then ran from right to center. Many times Real Madrid's attacks could not see him.
Such performances cannot satisfy the commentators.
"It seems that Kaka is not in good condition. He is like not playing in this game..."
"It seems that Kaka's life at Real Madrid is over..."
"According to this performance? I think there are not many clubs in the European continent who dare to ask for Kaka. Maybe he has to go back to Sao Paulo..."
"What a pity. Since being injured, Kaka has never found form again!"
"Kaka who leaves AC Milan will no longer be the omnipotent Kaka!"
Kaka couldn't hear these sounds, and he now calmed down and looked for the space on the field that he could use.
But Real Madrid's fast speed is now known throughout La Liga. Their opponents always return to defense as soon as possible after conceding the ball, leaving not much space for themselves. What should I do?
He turned his head to his roommate Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian was still entangled with Romanik.
He was a little worried. Does Chu Zhongtian, who was entangled, still have the ability to see himself, find a space, and pass the football over?
Chu Zhongtian, who passed the football out, subconsciously felt that someone was looking at him. He followed the feeling and happened to look at Kaka.
Chu Zhongtian smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up.
Of course he still remembered the conversation he had with Kaka last night. The reason why he had not passed the ball to Kaka was that there was no good opportunity, and even if it was passed, it would be useless. He had to find an opportunity to make Kaka run and then catch the ball, instead of letting Kaka stop catching the ball.
Unfortunately, there are too few opportunities like this.
Sevilla's recovery is very fast and pays great attention to the defense of Kaka and C. Ronaldo. Sevilla's head coach Manzano did not ignore Kaka because he was in poor condition recently.
Passing alone seems impossible to create such an opportunity.
Chu Zhongtian thought of the opportunity Ozil had just received, because he firmly pressed forward, so he attracted the attention of the Sevilla defender. From this point on, he found that perhaps the key person Sevilla was the one who was guarding this game. If this is the case... what area he appeared in would automatically become the focus of the defense in that area. All Sevilla players would choose to pay attention to themselves as soon as possible, rather than other Real Madrid players... Chu Zhongtian knew what he should do.
※※The game lasted nearly twenty minutes and the score was 0:0. Sevilla, who played at home, had a chance to score, but unfortunately Negrado had a header on the crossbar. Similarly, Real Madrid did not look completely passively beaten. Their attack was as sharp as Marcelo's cross was wasted, c. Ronaldo personally made a long shot, and the football was saved by Sevilla's goalkeeper Palop.
Because c. Ronaldo and Marcelo are both on Real Madrid's left side, this side has become Real Madrid's main attack direction. On this side, Real Madrid's offense is higher and higher. Marcelo's frequent insertion completely suppresses Navas, forcing Navas to focus more energy on returning to defense rather than attacking.
Compared with this side, the right side where Kaka and Ramos are located seems a little quiet.
Ramos himself is a full-back with a strong desire to attack. However, Kaka is in poor condition in this game and without anyone cooperating with him, it is impossible for him to reach the opponent's bottom line in the same way, so he doesn't intervene many times.
Mourinho sat on the coach's seat and was talking to his assistant coach Kalanka: "... From these twenty minutes, I didn't see what kind of chemical reaction Chu and Kaka can produce. There is very little connection between them. I paid attention. After twenty minutes, Chu only passed Kaka two balls, and they were all very ordinary balls."
Kalanka also noticed this problem. He is now worried that he would have read it wrong. In fact, Kaka and Chu Zhongtian have no tacit understanding at all. The video collects all the game clips of Kaka, so it seems that he and Chu Zhongtian have the same feeling. But after all, there are ninety minutes in a game. Perhaps the tacit understanding between Chu Zhongtian and Kaka only exists in three or five minutes, so what is the significance for the game?
Is it impossible to place hopes on Chu Zhongtian to help Kaka? Is Real Madrid destined to give up Kaka?
Kalanka felt that it was a pity that when she thought of such an excellent player who could not play his full strength after he transferred to Real Madrid.
※※※ Chu Zhongtian asked his teammate for the ball. Sergio Ramos passed the football to him.
In order to make Chu Zhongtian the core of the team, Mourinho repeatedly reminded the players during training to take the initiative to pass the ball to Chu Zhongtian during the game and cooperate with him more.
After Chu Zhongtian received the ball, he did not turn around and return to the middle, but instead led the football forward along the ribs!
Seeing Chu Zhongtian dribbling the ball forward, Sevilla's defense rushed towards him. Romarik, Capel and their forward Negrado all rushed up.
Seeing Kaka cruising near the sideline and no one was on guard for the time being, he quickly divided the football. The football passed between Capel and Romarik.
Kaka received the ball.
After passing the ball, Chu Zhongtian did not stop or run back, but continued to rush forward, making a move to cooperate with Kaka. Romarika did not dare to neglect and still followed Chu Zhongtian, Capel was the same, only Negredo went to chase Kaka.
Kaka dribbled the ball forward, because there was the opponent's left-back Navarro in front, so Kaka did not accelerate, and he was soon chased by Negredo.
Negredo is a strong center forward, 1.83 meters tall and weighs 86 kilograms.
He rushed up and directly hit Kaka's side.
Kaka's feet became soft, but she was still persevering.
Negredo did not give up and continued to collide. Three times in a row, Kaka finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground. The ball under his feet was also touched by himself.
"Kaka!"
When Kaka got the ball, the commentator was excited and planned to see Kaka use his speed to force his breakthrough Navarro. However, he fell to the ground. He sighed one by one: "Oh... Kaka lost the ball again..."
Only the commentator of Real Madrid Radio is appealing for Kaka: "Negredo must have committed a foul!"
The referee did not make any statement, but just signaled to Sevilla to serve the ball outside. Kaka, who was sitting on the ground, was sorting out his socks. He found that it was not a foul, so he stood up angrily and waved his arms to the referee and protested loudly.
At this moment, Chu Zhongtian walked up and shouted loudly at Kaka: "You should fight him!" He waved his elbow back.
Kaka suddenly felt sweating down, it was a foul... Chu Zhongtian saw from Kaka's expression what he wanted to say. "But you can't fall down just by touching it, Kaka."
"He pushed me from behind!" Kaka made a pushing move with both hands.
"Isn't this level of physical confrontation the same as yours before?" Chu Zhongtian leaned over and questioned him.
In the past, Kaka faced the opponent's pressing and collision, even if he stumbled, he could successfully bring football out. He often saw the defender who was rushing to him, and Kaka was far ahead and left casually, causing the female fans on the sidelines and in front of the TV to scream.
He will fall to the ground unless he encounters a very serious obstacle.
But after being injured, Kaka was afraid of physical confrontation and almost fell down with one touch.
Kaka was speechless when facing Chu Zhongtian who was staring at him.
He was indeed afraid of injury, so he felt weak on his legs after a little physical contact... "Don't be afraid of physical contact. It's been a year and a half, shouldn't your body have recovered long ago?" Chu Zhongtian stretched out his fist and encouraged.
Kaka lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
Chu Zhongtian didn't have time to continue to pull off Kaka here, and the game was about to start over. Sevilla's players were preparing to throw the ball out of the way.
The football soon fell to Negredo's feet again.
Chu Zhongtian rushed up from the side and knocked him away with the ball.
The booing at Pisjuan Stadium was even louder.
Chu Zhongtian, who had knocked Negredo away, did not take the initiative to walk up and show his goodwill. Instead, after hearing the referee's whistle, he ran up to appeal. He pointed his hands at the place where Kaka fell just now, indicating that the referee was also foul. Why did he only blew his own and not blew the time when Negredo blew against Kaka?
"Wow! What a fierce collision! This is a deliberate foul! The referee should give him a yellow card!"
