Super Marshal

The moment Torres scored, the entire Calderón stadium fell into madness.

Even the guest commentator Antiche seemed very excited.

"As I said at the beginning of the game, Torres started very fast, and his oblique penetration into the penalty area was quite threatening. The attack just now was very similar to the attack in the opening game. It was all other players who opened up the defense, and Torres quickly started to insert into the penalty area. .”

"The difference is, before it was Kaka, now it's Dario Srna."

"In addition, Deco's side kick just now is also the key to the entire offensive process, and it was given very timely."

"Real Madrid are in trouble now."

"In the final analysis, superstars are also human beings, and they are all nervous. Especially after losing so many games in the past two seasons, it is inevitable that there will be some psychological pressure and burden. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid seems to be more relaxed."

"It makes sense." The on-site commentator affirmed, "After all, they lost this game, and they are still the league champions."

"But now for Real Madrid, the most important thing is not to consider how to counterattack, but to stabilize the ground first. Atletico Madrid is very good at chasing after the victory, so we must be careful."

Antić's reminder soon appeared on the court.

Atletico Madrid, who advanced by one goal, did not mean to take a breather, but wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue, and the defense line was even higher.

Simeone froze Zidane, Dario Srna used the attack to suppress Roberto Carlos, and Jankulovski on the left focused on Figo, which made it difficult for Real Madrid's attack to start.

Especially with Zidane restricted, it is difficult for the Galacticos midfielder to hold the ball.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid played more unrestrainedly, especially after the first goal, the players were more confident.

…………

…………

This was Woodgate's first Madrid derby and his first against Atletico Madrid.

He was very disturbed.

The goal just now caught him off guard.

too fast!

Not only are the players running fast, but their passing and receiving cooperation with each other is faster, and the continuous cooperation in a narrow range makes him dizzy.

Just like Kaka and Deco just now, the first reaction in his mind is, will Kaka dribble the ball by himself?

Unexpectedly, Deco suddenly sent the ball to the wing, and Dario Srna, after receiving the ball, forced a cross from Carlos almost without thinking, which was completely beyond Woodgate's expectations.

Ask yourself, if it was not Hierro who marked Torres at the time, but himself, Woodgate felt that he might be even more miserable.

In the few months since he came to Real Madrid, he has experienced many teams, such as Deportivo and Manchester United, but there is no team like Atletico Madrid that can maintain a skilled pass in such a fast pace. possession of the ball.

But he also gradually realized the crux of Real Madrid's problems.

That is, the superstars in the frontcourt basically do not return to defense, and even their own defense zone is a symbolic feint.

Just now Dario Srna went forward to participate in the attack, but Zidane threw it to the midfielder without hesitation, which directly caused Carlos to face Dario Srna directly in a hurry, and was blocked by the opponent. Use the speed to forcefully shake it.

This kind of thing will happen in other teams, but it will not be so outrageous.

Just when Woodgate was still in fear, Hierro's shouts came from beside him.

"Be careful, they are coming again!"

Heart skipping a beat, Woodgate looked up to see Atletico Madrid regrouping for another attack.

Damn it, it's so fast!

Looking up, I saw Kakara coming to the left to get the ball, and Makelele followed the Brazilian player every step of the way.

This made Woodgate feel relieved.

He knows Makelele's defensive ability, and he feels at ease with him in front.

But Kaka is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

I only saw the Brazilian player receive the pass from the backcourt, turn around and take the ball to cut in the middle, which made Woodgate a little uneasy.

Makelele was always sticking to Kaka, and Real Madrid's entire defense moved with Kaka's dribbling inside.

But all of a sudden, Kaka accelerated, shook Makelele away, and kicked with his right foot.

Woodgate was taken aback. He felt the ball coming his way, but before he could make a move, Villa sprinted from a diagonal stab and beat him to catch Kaka's pass. .

At this time, the Spanish striker was already in the penalty area.

Woodgate didn't dare to be careless, and quickly stood between Villa and the goal.

One on one!

The cheers of the fans in the stands of the Calderon Stadium could be heard in his ears, but Woodgate couldn't take care of it anymore, and all his thoughts were on Villa.

As soon as the Spanish forward received the ball, he took advantage of the trend and made a fake move, but he pushed the ball towards the baseline.

Woodgate was not fooled and followed quickly.

But just after catching up, Villa suddenly made another emergency stop, looking like he was going to buckle the ball to the middle.

This guy is a left and right!

Woodgate was taken aback, and quickly stopped, making a blocking action.

The continuous speed change and direction change in the high-speed movement state made Woodgate feel his legs and knees were tingling, which made him panic and feel cold all over his body.

In August, before the start of the 2003 season, he injured his knee in a warm-up game and had to undergo a second operation, thus missing the start of the season.

He clearly remembered the situation when he injured his knee and left the field, and his knee was also tingling faintly.

Could this be a relapse of an old injury?

Thinking of this, Woodgate was stunned for a moment.

It was this stupefaction that allowed Villa to seize the opportunity, continue to dribble forward with the ball, and then hit the goal directly with his left foot.

what……

The entire Calderon Stadium exclaimed!

Casillas's reaction was very fast, and he rushed in front of the goal, and Villa's left-footed volley was blocked with a flying single fist.

But the ball did not fly away, but continued to fall towards the area where Villa and Woodgate were located.

Villa reacted the fastest and caught up immediately.

Woodgate also reacted, and quickly turned around to start chasing, but just as he turned around, he felt a sharp pain in his right leg, and he couldn't help but let out an ah, lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Villa quickly caught up with the ball, and before the ball landed, he volleyed with his right foot.

At this time, Hierro came late and was powerless.

Casillas fell to the ground, also beyond reach.

The ball hits Real Madrid's goal again!

The referee's whistle sounded once again for the effective goal!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

"The second goal came too fast, too suddenly!"

"Villa, it's a goal from David Villa!"

"After Kaka broke through forcibly, he passed a direct pass to the penalty area. After Villa's first shot was saved by Iker Casillas, he made another shot."

"Two to zero, Atletico Madrid played like a broken bamboo after the start."

"Oh, we saw Real Madrid's central defender Woodgate fell in the penalty area and hugged his leg. It seems to be injured. Could it be that he was injured when defending Villa just now?"

"The England central defender has quickly become the backbone of the defense since he joined Real Madrid. If he gets injured, it will definitely disrupt Real Madrid's overall plan."

"The referee was calling the team doctor to enter the field and even used a stretcher. It seemed that the injury was not serious."

…………

…………

At the chairman's VIP seat, Florentino's face was gloomy.

Anyone can see his embarrassment and shame at this moment.

He was full of confidence before the game, but in the game, in just ten minutes, his opponent scored two goals in a row, and even got rid of the main central defender. This was definitely a painful blow for Real Madrid.

Everyone can see that Woodgate plays an important role in Real Madrid's defense. If he is injured, who can replace him?

But what made him more uncomfortable was the discussion from around.

"Could this bad boy go out again last night?"

"It's possible, otherwise why would your legs be weak?"

"As I said earlier, he is not a good guy."

"As early as when he was in Leeds United, he and Bowyer lost control after getting drunk in a bar. Because of racial discrimination, he beat an Asian student. He was prosecuted by the whole of the UK and was later sentenced to 100 hours of imprisonment. community service order."

"In April last year, he first violated the speeding regulations, and his driver's license was suspended for half a year. Later, he drank in a bar and fought with a group of female gangsters. Severe punishment within the federation."

"His legs are also very problematic. At the beginning of 2002, he suffered a hamstring injury and was sidelined for a month and a half. Later, in August, he injured his knee and missed the beginning of the season due to surgery. Now it seems that he should be left behind. "

"Entered the main lineup at the age of 18 and entered the national team at the age of 19. He is indeed very good, but so far, he has never played a full season. He has been injured all the time. He is simply a glass man."

"I don't know how Real Madrid would think of buying him."

"is not that right?"

...

Florentino listened to the discussions around him, squinted at Valdano and Butragueno, his eyes seemed to breathe fire.

He hadn't paid close attention, and he didn't even know that Woodgate had such a past.

This is really a fool!

And from the dodging eyes of Valdano and Butragueno, he knew very well that these arguments were true.

In other words, what Real Madrid placed high hopes on turned out to be a glass man with frequent injuries.

"After you go back, you must give me a reasonable explanation!" Florentino said in a deep voice.

His voice was so low that only Valdano and Butragueno could hear it, but it drove them both to despair.

Inside the stadium, the team doctor had already signaled to Bosque that Woodgate could no longer continue the game. Bosque immediately made adjustments and arranged for young player Pavon to start to replace Woodgate as the team's central defender.

It can be seen that Bosque's idea is to continue to use Herguera and Makelele as double midfielders to protect the team's defense.

But Atletico Madrid did not show any mercy.

Just after Woodgate was injured, the Sheets suspended their offensive, but it didn't take long for Atletico Madrid to quickly organize another wave of offensive, which made Real Madrid very embarrassed.

Although the Galaxy Battleship is full of superstars in the frontcourt, they have no possession of the ball and are suppressed in their own half. They can't play a role at all. In the first half hour, they didn't even take a threatening shot. They just blindly defended passively. .

But if you stick to it for a long time, you will lose...
