727 The Fool's Transfer
727 A tricked transfer
When Yang Cheng saw that the team got a corner kick, Pepe was in the penalty area, facing goalkeeper Diego Lopez who transferred from Real Madrid to Villarrell and became famous in one fell swoop, and he suddenly laughed. The latest chapter of the temple
A prominent feature of new turf is its downward pressure. After trampling for a long time, the downward pressure is already very poor and it is easily lifted up by shoe nails. Therefore, after getting used to the old turf, it suddenly turns into new turf, and many players feel uncomfortable with it.
There is no way. When they came back from the Canary Islands before, the team only had an adaptation training at the Bernabeu Stadium and had no more time to get familiar with this new set of turf, so they are now fighting on an unfamiliar stadium like Villarrel. Fortunately, there is support from Real Madrid fans in the Bernabeu stands.
"Next, we will arrange as many training classes as possible at the Bernabeu!" Yang Cheng told Paul Bayer that he was responsible for the arrangement of training classes.
Replacing the turf is definitely a good thing, especially for Real Madrid, which emphasizes the cooperation of mercury. High-quality turf has a better effect on Real Madrid's offense and advancement, but the premise is that Real Madrid has to adapt to it.
Perhaps because he was used to being thrifty, Villarrell's players seemed very uncomfortable when they stepped on this high-tech turf introduced from Germany. Even Pire, who has a very good technical foundation, accidentally slipped down when he caught the ball, causing the ball to become a tackle.
The ball fell into Mascherano's hands, and the Argentinian passed to Kaka. The Brazilian dribbled the ball in the middle and forced a breakthrough, passing the ball to the right side of the penalty area. David Silva inserted it and pushed the ball with his left foot, opening the first record for Real Madrid.
After taking the lead, Real Madrid began to play more patiently. Villarrell played away. He had lost more and won less against Real Madrid before, especially in several complete defeats, which left a deep shadow on Pellegrini, resulting in him not daring to be arrogant in this game, and he played more steadily.
It should be said that Real Madrid is not in good condition. After all, they have just experienced the winter break and training period, and are now starting to explore and find the state of the game again. It is impossible to get into the state all at once. In addition to the new turf problem, the team made many mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, so they wasted a lot of opportunities.
In the second half, in the 67th minute, Ronaldo cooperated with Aveloa on the left and broke through the defender and crossed the middle. Kaka made a powerful shot from the front of the penalty area, winning another goal for Real Madrid, 2:0!
At this point, everyone felt that there was no suspense in the game.
But in the 72nd minute, Pire made a long-distance cross on the left without much threat, and Casillas stood in the small penalty area. Thiago Silva and Pepe both felt that he should be able to get the ball because the ball did not have much strength and was slow, and there was no threat at all.
What people didn't expect was that Casillas was standing at the right position, but when he jumped up with his hands to pick the ball, he didn't know why when he landed, the ball actually dropped out, and he flew to Rossi who was inserted behind him. The Italian young player did not waste his chance and faced the goal of the near empty goal in one go, 2:1!
Such a goal is rare at the Bernabeu stadium, especially when it appears on Casillas, who wears the captain's armband, which immediately caused an uproar among Real Madrid fans in the Bernabeu stands.
After regaining the goal, Real Madrid's morale plummeted, while Villarrell's morale soared. He actually started to play a round of attacks at the Bernabeu Stadium. Yang Cheng made a quick decision and immediately replaced Kaka with Drarede, hoping to stabilize the situation first. (")
Then, I don’t know if I was still immersed in the shadow of the first mistake or was not focused. Casillas made another mistake when defending the opponent’s free kick, and almost scored by Nehart. Fortunately, Macon cleared the ball in front of the goal line, resolving a crisis for Real Madrid.
"It's really surprising. What's most unbelievable is that Casillas' title of world number one goalkeeper seems a bit unworthy of his name after two consecutive low-level mistakes in one game." The live commentator was a little unbelievable.
Yang Cheng also had a serious face on the sidelines because he knew very well that Casillas had been in a bad state since the training camp, but the problem was that he was the captain of Real Madrid and the team's unquestionable number one goalkeeper. He must give him trust and support.
Looking at DiPalma behind him, the latter was helpless. Casillas's skills were absolutely impeccable, especially in the past two years, his flaws have been made up for a lot, especially in terms of high balls. He has made mistakes without mistakes, and everyone will make mistakes, but such low-level mistakes are rare.
The only thing that can be said is that there are problems with his mentality, emotions and state.

After the game, at the Bernabeu press conference, the reporter immediately raised questions about Casillas' performance in this game.
"Mr. Yang Cheng, although Real Madrid defeated Villarrel 2-1 in this game, it was a lucky win. Villarrel's goal can even be said to be a gift from Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas. Do you think Casillas' many low-level mistakes in this game should be responsible for almost losing points?"
Obviously, the reporter hoped that Yang Cheng would say some hot news, and it would be best to fire directly at Casillas.
Yang Cheng smiled, something that seemed very trivial, "I don't think anyone should be responsible for the game. If unfortunately, we lose points, the person responsible for the game must be me, or the whole team, not just one person!"
"I understand that Igor made mistakes in the game, but everyone will make mistakes. Who dares to say that he will never make mistakes? So we should not blame a player who is very sad and guilty because of the mistakes, because he has done his best and tried his best to play to himself."
"The goalkeeper is a very special position. Everyone can allow offensive players to make mistakes, such as excessive stoppage, or allow defensive players to make mistakes, such as a mistake in prediction, but they find it difficult to tolerate a goalkeeper making mistakes, even if it is just caused by a loss."
"But as a professional head coach, I fully believe in Igor's ability and strength. I know his level very well. He is the best goalkeeper in football today, with nearly perfect personal skills. But people are not machines and can make mistakes. This is an inevitable problem and should not be attributed to the individual players, right?"
Of course, while Yang Cheng eliminated the negative impact on Casillas as much as possible, he also made suggestions on Casillas's problem. He believed that focusing on the game is an effective way to better play, and he also said that he would continue to give all his trust in Casillas. (《》)
At present, among Real Madrid goalkeepers, Casillas is not under much competitive pressure. Antonio Adan performed well in training and has an almost perfect goalkeeper template, but no matter from the perspective of game experience or personal skills, he is still unable to compete with Casillas.
However, Yang Cheng didn't let Casillas ignore it. He had already made a decision before. He arranged a substitute player to play in the Cup of del Rey, and Antonio Adan would win the starter, while Casillas would take a rest.
This is a legitimate excuse, because the King's Cup is usually on the bench, which is a plan that Yang Cheng has already planned, and no one will have any dispute, even Casillas.

In the top 16 knockout round of the Copa RE, Real Madrid challenged Real Betis away.
Real Betis, who just lost to Almeria away in the league, has completely lost hope in the league. This former La Liga strong team is now as declining as La Coruna and is currently hovering in the relegation zone.
Although Real Betis' most important goal this season is to stay in La Liga, he is unwilling to give up the Copa del Rey easily, because for all La Liga teams, the league championship will always be a duo of Real Madrid and Barcelona. If they want to win the championship, they can only hope for the Copa del Rey.
The home team put all their strength into it, and Real Madrid was not vague. Although they came on as a substitute, Real Madrid's starting lineup was still awesome.
The goalkeeper is Antonio Adan, the defense is Marcelo, Kompani, Ramos and Miguel Torres, the double midfielder is Delarede and Granero, the frontcourt is Ozil, Raul and Mata, and the single forward is Aguero.
With such a star lineup, Real Madrid is not inferior to Real Betis.
But the home team quickly took advantage of their home court advantage and launched a crazy round of attacks against Real Madrid. Although Real Betis scored in the 13th minute, in this round of attack, Antonio Adan performed very steadily, saving at least 3 threatening shots, showing a rare maturity.
The defense line stabilized, and the frontcourt offense quickly adapted to Real Betis' rhythm and pressing, and immediately returned to the color. In the 36th, 49th and 61st minutes, Real Madrid scored three goals in a row and reversed Real Betis 3:1 away, laying a favorable foundation for advancing to the next round.
In contrast, although Barcelona just defeated Mallorca 3-1 in the league, Barcelona, who lost Yaya Toure and Keita, drew 1-1 away with Atletico Madrid at the Calderon Stadium in the Copa del Rey.
Two African players will return to China to serve the king and prepare for the African Cup. They will be absent from Barcelona for at least one month. If the record is good, it may even be more than a month, because the African Football Association always requires the club to force and release African players in advance in accordance with FIFA regulations.
In fact, these two players are now unable to play as the main position in Barcelona. Yaya Toure's position was replaced by Busquets, while Keita came from the beginning to the bench, but he played few times this season, especially now he is going back to participate in the African Cup, which has a great impact on Barcelona, which is not strong in lineup.
This is also the outside world's doubts about Barcelona's summer transfer operation this season, and it is generally considered a scam.
Among the players introduced at high prices, Keita, Cáceres and Geleb are worth more than 15 million euros, but they have made very few contributions to Barcelona, because Xavi and Iniesta have long held the main position, while Pique and Puyol's combination, although Gabriel Milito missed the entire season due to injury before the season, Cáceres did not gain Guardiola's trust at all.
There is also a striker Henrik from Palmeiras, who is worth nearly 10 million yuan, but he has no chance to play.
These transfers reflect Barcelona's impetuousness and quick success in the transfer market. Even the media in Catalonia accused Barcelona of its transfer from the old path in the later years of the first phase of the Galaxy Warship, because both Keita and Cáceres performed well in La Liga and were introduced by Barcelona for their large sum of money, but in the end they did not bring much change to Barcelona. They just sat on the bench and took their salary leisurely.
Since you are unwilling to give others a chance, and you don’t even plan to rotate in some cup games, why spend so much money to sign up?
If the transfer fees of these players are added up, it will be almost equivalent to the Cristiano Ronaldo who is currently leading the scorer list. It goes without saying which one is more cost-effective!
However, for this situation, Barcelona clearly knows the problem, but they still don’t plan to adjust. The reason is very simple. Laporta must consolidate his position, which is his current priority.
The urgent campaign pressure and the short-sighted fans make it impossible for the club's policies to be put in the long run and must achieve results in the shortest time. Therefore, it is currently revealed that Laporta is still raising money everywhere and is preparing to continue to show his strength in the transfer market in the summer. This time his goal is still a superstar.
Judging from the news revealed by the media, all the superstars introduced by Laporta are targeted at Real Madrid without exception!

After playing the King's Cup, Real Madrid went south to the island of Mallorca.
After a week of rest, Real Madrid strives for 3 points away. In just 2 minutes of the game, Real Madrid hit a cross in the penalty area in a quick counterattack. Ronaldo inserted and pushed the ball to score, opening the first record for Real Madrid.
In the 17th minute, the Portuguese reciprocate, forced a breakthrough from the left, and swung past the opponent's defensive player and sent the ball to Villa. The Spanish striker scored it in one go, 0:2!
Afterwards, Mallorca began to defend, and even changed from 532 tactics to 631, with the purpose of limiting Real Madrid's offense.
In the 66th minute of the second half, David Silva received a cross from Kaka on the right side of the penalty area, and passed the ball to the left of the penalty area. Little Ronaldo volleyed 8 meters in front of it, leaving another goal for Real Madrid, 0:3.
The score also remained until the end of the game, and Real Madrid won a complete victory in Mallorca.
Unlike Real Madrid's easy victory, Barcelona's game against Osasuna was very hard. First, Messi broke the deadlock for Barcelona in stoppage time in the first half, but Osasuna quickly took advantage of two set-piece opportunities. Juan Fran, who came from Real Madrid's youth training, made great contributions, and two assists to help Osasuna reverse.
When the team is competitive in every position, the goalkeeper is the least competitive.
Considering the current situation of Casillas and the current environment, Yang Cheng finally made the decision to take Casillas and sent the captain of the Spanish national team to the bench!
There is no doubt that this will cause a big uproar!
