Chapter 504: Applause from the Bernabeu

Perhaps, in Gareth Bale's eyes, he would definitely feel that Ye Qiu values ​​Ribery more than him, but he has no way to complain about it, or even resent Ye Qiu, because Ye Qiu is also very good to him.

From the day he joined Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu told him that his best position should be to move forward, play as a winger or even a winger, get closer to the opponent's defense, and play his speed and explosiveness advantages, just like his best friend Walcott in Southampton, using speed to break through the opponent's defense.

Gareth Bale did so, and began to play frequently in Tottenham Hotspur. He often played in cup games and as a substitute, accumulated a certain amount of game experience, and he also slowly explored his own way of playing.

But that was only the first step in the plan. In the improvement plan arranged by Ye Qiu for him, using speed to complete the sideline breakthrough was just the beginning, a foundation, the foundation for Gareth Bale to gain a foothold in the professional arena.

In Ye Qiu's words, if Gareth Bale can do this, then he has the opportunity to gain a foothold in the Premier League, just like Walcott, Downing, Lennon and other English wingers, but if he wants to become the best player in the Premier League, then he needs to go one step further and cut inside to score.

Gareth Bale's right foot is not very good. Even now, Ye Qiu still requires him to practice his left foot every day, whether it is right foot crossing or shooting, or receiving the ball, all need to be practiced. In addition, the team's right side has been controlled by Messi for a long time, so Gareth Bale is fixed on the left side.

Cutting inside does not necessarily require the left foot to shoot, the right foot can also shoot. The biggest threat of the left foot is that it is more convenient after cutting inside, but for Gareth Bale, the right foot can still play well, provided that he can shoot in the area he is most familiar with and most confident in, without interference.

Improve your scoring ability after cutting inside. As long as you do this, Gareth Bale will be able to become the best first-class winger in the Premier League and famous in Europe, but this also requires a slow process, and the first step is to find the area where he is most confident.

So looking at Gareth Bale's goals this season, almost most of them are from the left side of the penalty area arc to the left side of the penalty area, forward to the small penalty area, and about 25 meters back. He started in this area because his foot was smoother and it was very convenient to kick the ball here. He shot hard, but over time, Ye Qiu often asked his teammates to help him kick on this side to find the feeling.

According to Ye Qiu, first establish a feeling, get familiar with it, master it, and then slowly expand your shooting area. When everything is formed and stable, he can further strengthen his strength. Whether it is to enter the penalty area to head the ball, or to move to the middle, or even the right, it can be all right, the premise is to have that feeling.

Ye Qiu also said that cutting in from the left and shooting is the second step, but if Gareth Bale wants to truly become a world-class winger, he needs to try more in the middle and right to find his own feeling of playing, see how he feels playing in the middle and right, and find his most suitable position and style of play.

According to Ye Qiu, as long as the current team plan is followed and there is no injury, Gareth Bale, who is about 22 years old, will be fully formed and enter a period of full maturity, but no matter what, he can't become a winger like Messi and Ribery, because he is far behind in basic skills, so his most ideal position is on the wing, the difference between left and right.

Gareth Bale believes in Ye Qiu's analysis and outline. He didn't know how Ye Qiu trained and sculpted young players before, but now he knows that it is a very large system project.

The coaching team spent a long time exploring and studying his technical characteristics, helping him to formulate such a growth plan, and then specially arranged personnel to supervise and observe him every day. Of course, he himself is also very diligent and hardworking.

The sentence Ye Qiu said most often is that no superstar title in the world is obtained by talent.

In many discussions, Ye Qiu mentioned Ronaldinho with great regret. He believed that if he was still there, Ronaldinho would definitely not be like this now. He would become an artist, an artist on the football field, and use his almost magical skills to go down in history. But Ronaldinho lost supervision after he left and became decadent and lazy.

So Gareth Bale often uses this example to remind himself to work hard and be diligent, because his talent is not better than others, even speed, a large part of the factors are later practiced, so if he doesn't work hard and be diligent, he will never stand out.

His hard work and diligence are also reflected on the football field. He actively runs in front, actively counter-attacks, and actively participates in the team's tactical system. He even knows very clearly that the team's top star is Messi, so he is willing to help Messi score goals and help his teammates, because he feels that this is also a kind of progress and a gain.

This attitude allowed Gareth Bale to break out this season. His success at the beginning of the season may be said to be because the team played around him, but with the return of Messi and others, he has experienced a decline in several games. After getting used to it, he gradually integrated into the tactical system with Messi and Van Persie as the core, and became willing to be a green leaf. This is one of the reasons why Ye Qiu and his teammates admire him very much.

Therefore, many times, when he runs out of space, especially when he runs to the starting area where he is most confident, his teammates always try their best to pass the ball to him, just like Fabregas this time. After receiving a pass from David Silva, after seeing that Messi failed to get rid of Heinze, he quickly passed the ball diagonally and passed it to the left side of the front edge of the penalty area.

Twenty-one meters!

When Gareth Bale was sprinting, he was also sketching in his mind the vertical distance between himself and the goal after receiving the ball. He felt very good because this was an area he was very, very familiar with, so he stepped on it every step of the way. It was very stable, and the feedback he received from every step was very good, so good that he felt that this kick must have been successful!

The right foot was planted firmly, and the left foot was lifted up. There was no sloppiness at all, it was just a powerful volley.

This volley made a sound like an explosion in the air. The momentum was a bit like Real Madrid's left-wing heavy artillery Robert Carlos, but Gareth Bale was taller and more powerful.

The ball flew towards the goal at an extremely fast speed. Casillas is a very rare goalkeeper in today's football who has no defensive blind spots. He also reacted very quickly and made a save directly. Considering the speed and strength of the ball, it was impossible for him to He's allowed to hold the ball, so he goes straight for a one-punch hammer blow.

The ball hit his left fist and shocked his entire left arm to the point of numbness. However, as soon as Casillas landed, he got up again and once again made a flying save towards his right side. , it turned out that Van Persie missed a missed shot in front of the goal.

"Wow!!!!" Jose Maria exclaimed, "Great Saint Cassie!!!!"

I saw Casillas's right hand hurriedly blocked the ball out of the goal with one hand!

Almost all Real Madrid fans in the audience were shocked by Casillas's consecutive saves. They even had a feeling that Casillas would try to keep Real Madrid's goal from conceding any more goals.

But just when they felt this way, they saw the ball saved by Casillas fall to the feet of Messi, who was unmarked in the penalty area. All the defensive players just ran towards Van Persie, but missed the short one. Messi, the Argentine didn't hesitate at all. He pushed the ball lightly and pushed the ball again in the opposite direction to where Casillas fell to the ground, to the lower right corner!

Casillas, who had fallen to the ground twice in a row and made two world-class saves in a row, finally failed to perform another miracle this time, and Messi also performed a hat trick with this goal!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

The long sound of Jose María's sexy goal sounded again. All the Tottenham Hotspur players rushed towards Messi crazily. The Argentinian also forgot about himself and celebrated there. He never imagined that he was actually at the Bernabeu. A hat-trick was performed on the court, which was simply an incredible miracle!

All the teammates picked up Messi from the waist, and a group of people rushed to the sidelines frantically, surrounding Messi.

Real Madrid fans in the stands were silent, while Tottenham Hotspur fans were cheering.

"Casillas has no responsibility for this goal. He has done what a goalkeeper should do, but unfortunately, Real Madrid has completely lost confidence, especially their defense!"

"The first save can be said to be a world-class save. Casillas' reaction and body movements are very fast. He is not tall, but his movement frequency is very fast. In addition, his reaction speed is extremely fast, which makes him in a split second. I made a judgment and punched out with a single punch. This is the only way to stop this powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area, because it is fast enough!”

"If the first save was somewhat due to positioning, then with the second save, Casillas has proven his ability as the world's top goalkeeper. His reaction and quick coordination were almost indispensable in this save. It’s so vivid that I even dare to say that there are no more than five goalkeepers in today’s football who can make two consecutive saves like this!”

"It is very regrettable that before this game, many people called it a battle for the best goalkeeper in the world. Standing opposite Casillas is another Czech goalkeeper Peter Che who is worthy of competing for the world's top goalkeeper. Hey, in the battle between the two goalkeepers, Casillas missed four goals, which is indeed very tragic, but this is definitely not due to his lack of strength, but a drag on Real Madrid as a whole! "

The fans at the Bernabeu Stadium are known as the fans who know how to watch football in the world, so after a short silence, they quickly stood up from their seats and shouted Casillas's name to support the team. The goalkeeper's wonderful performance was applauded. They all felt that if all Real Madrid players should feel ashamed in this game, then Casillas should stand tall because he has never been knocked down. !

The cry of "Saint Casillas" resounded through the Bernabeu Stadium, and all Real Madrid fans were shouting Casillas's name.

Oh, yes, there is one more!

The man with the captain's armband on his arm!

Among all the players wearing the captain's armband of Real Madrid, he is the most gentle, the most low-key, and the most popular with fans. He was once the pride of Real Madrid and the hope of Spanish football.

But under the superstar policy of the team's first galactic battleship, he was willing to obey the interests of the team and made great sacrifices.

Let me ask, what else in the world is more cruel than letting a striker who regards scoring as his life stay away from the penalty area he loves, and what sacrifice is greater than it?

He could have created a lot of history, he could have written his own glorious page in Spain and in world football, but he rejected the invitations of other giants again and again and chose to stay in the team because he knew that what he wore on his arm was not only the captain's armband, but also a responsibility.

A responsibility that was passed down from Muñoz, Gento, Piri to Camacho, Butragueno, Sanchis to Hierro, and finally on his arm. From the day Hierro put it on his shoulder, from the day his best friend Morientes asked him to protect Real Madrid before leaving, he was destined to sacrifice everything for it!

His name is Raul Gonzalez!

When everyone and all teammates had given up, Tottenham Hotspur had begun to slow down their offensive, Ye Qiu began to make substitutions and began to retain his strength, he still kept running on the field, running non-stop, as if he would never get tired.

Perhaps many people say that he is not like a captain, because he does not have the majesty of a captain. He rarely shouts at his teammates, rarely tells them, you have to do this and that, you must do this and that, he is not, he rarely says, but he relies on himself to keep doing it, to work hard, he hopes to infect the people around him.

If it was in the past, his sentiment would interfere with his teammates, but now, obviously no one is infected by him.

A poor couple has many sorrows. Aren't the team and the players like a couple?

The game ended with the referee's whistle. Tottenham Hotspur defeated Real Madrid 4:0 away. Raul and Casillas's last efforts, as well as Guti's appearance, failed to create a miracle, and even failed to score a goal.

Everyone in the Bernabeu Stadium was silently tasting the pain of the great defeat.

Ye Qiu watched the Real Madrid players walk off the court, all with their heads down. He walked up to Raul and Casillas, comforted and hugged the two Real Madrid stars who were covered in sweat, even though he was also covered in sweat.

"Congratulations, really!" Raul and Casillas stood in front of Ye Qiu. The former looked sad, but said sincerely, "This game has completely awakened us and everyone. Although it is cruel, but..." Raul couldn't say anything more.

It's not crying, nor is it choking. For so many years, he has shouldered the responsibility of the captain of Real Madrid. If he wanted to cry or choke, he would have cried long ago, and would not have waited until now, because over the years, he has tasted everything, he has experienced rise and fall, honor and disgrace, and even now, he has been accused by many fans of being a ball tyrant of Real Madrid, and he has accepted it.

It's really funny to say that those who accused Hierro of being a ball tyrant were the first to miss him after Hierro left. Now these people are accusing Raul of being a ball tyrant. Will they miss Raul in the future?

Maybe, maybe not!

Who knows about things in this world?

Letting the two captains of Real Madrid pass by him, Ye Qiu's heart was full of complexity, because his most core football creed is that football, even modern professional football, is never just about superstars and tactics, but more importantly, the soul.

As Cruyff once said, what you can maintain for 90 minutes and a season is not your physical fitness or your tactics, but your belief.

Ye Qiu could even say that as long as football is still a team sport, the soul of a team will always be above superstars and tactics. It is always the most important thing for a team, because you can have no superstars, no tactics, but you can't have no soul!

After Ye Qiu hugged Raul and Casillas, when all the Real Madrid players left the stadium and only Tottenham Hotspur players were left on the field, the Bernabeu fans in the stands stood up from their seats one after another and applauded.

The applause became louder and louder, and finally swept the entire Bernabeu Stadium. In this thunderous applause, many fans even shouted Messi's name. It was obvious that they were all defeated by Messi's hat trick in this game.

The young Argentine player held the ball used in the game and planned to take it home for commemoration. After hearing the shouts of the Bernabeu fans, he was a little silly and didn't know how he should react, because it was the first time for him to be praised by the opponent's fans, especially the opponent was a Real Madrid fan.

The applause continued for a while, and when everyone in Tottenham Hotspur went back to the locker room, the applause stopped. The entire Bernabeu Stadium fell into deathly silence again. The fans began to line up slowly and orderly, taking the snacks and sundries from their seats, and left the Bernabeu Stadium.

I believe that at this moment, many of them are still licking the four wounds just now. Perhaps all of them are still asking themselves the same question over and over again, but they have been asking it for many years, but they have never found the answer. That is, what is wrong with our team?

From Florentino to Calderon, to the upcoming re-election of the president, he seems to have never found an answer that can satisfy all fans.

Perhaps, some questions will never have an answer.

But that is not because no one knows the answer, but because those who know the answer are either unwilling to say it, or no one listens, or simply pretend that they don’t know it at all!
