Chapter 184: Another Battle with Atletico Madrid (Part 2)
After all, this goal was not good from the perspective of passing and shooting, and Ronaldo felt anxious when he kicked the ball, which directly led to the ball hitting the goal frame accurately.
But could Real Madrid's players give up so easily? They underestimated Bale and Benzema! When they saw Ronaldo's ball hit the post, they quickly caught up and aimed at the ball to kick it again.
Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Moya was startled by the momentum of Bale and Benzema, and quickly jumped up to hug the ball and quickly lay on the ground. This made Benzema and Bale brake, put their hands on their waists with a little regret, and then ran back to defend.
Eggsy was also watching this side at this time, he also looked at Atletico's half with his hands on his hips, and Ronaldo quickly ran over and hugged Eggsy. Just kidding, Ronaldo's first priority now is to comfort his child, otherwise what if he doesn't pass the ball to him later because of the missed ball?
“Come again, I will make sure to grasp it!” QQ For the sake of Bingzi, Mr. Luo no longer cares about his domineering image. He puts his arm around Eggsy’s shoulder and greets Eggsy during the time he spends returning to defense.
But this doesn't mean that Eggsy will buy it. Eggsy's eyes and expression, which are always the eyes and expressions of a domineering president →_→, are enough to explain the problem.
C Luo looked hurt, and just when he gave up trying to persuade him, Eggsy patted him on the shoulder. Then the two of them separated, but now C Luo's face looked much better, he understood that Eggsy's disdainful look was just disdain for his previous eagerness and current cautiousness.
Of course Eggsy knew how the forwards wanted to score a goal, and Ronaldo was his best passing target at the time. If Ronaldo was not so anxious, the goal would definitely have been scored, but there were not so many confirmed shooting opportunities on the court, and it was not a penalty kick.
So on second thought, Eggsy would not be angry with Ronaldo, but just hoped that he would not waste it next time. But if you want to say something on the court, you can't say it without making a mistake. Of course, the time for the return visit is even more tight, but Eggsy knew that he would understand if he patted Ronaldo.
C Ronaldo did understand, so he just stood in front, while Eggsy stood in the back. At this time, he and Modric looked towards their own rest area together, because Zidane was making gestures to them.
The host also took the opportunity to start his own style of commentary, also known as nonsense.
"Does Real Madrid have special gesture programming and courses? How do they explain such complex tactics with gestures?"
At this point, another host also responded inquiringly: "The most amazing thing is that they not only understood it, but also repeated it without using their mouths, even lip-reading experts couldn't figure it out."
"Are you really so in sync?"
After Zidane finished his gestures, Eggsy and Modric nodded, indicating that they understood. The two hosts were amazed again, and Modric and Eggsy then came together and whispered something with their hands covering their mouths.
The two then seemed to have agreed on their new positions, and Eggsy's position was slightly back, on par with Modric and Kroos. And when the midfielder changed positions, the forwards, front midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers in the back all understood the following tactics tacitly.
This is the tacit understanding after Real Madrid's high-intensity tactical training. Words are pale at this time. It also shows the organization and leadership ability of Real Madrid's midfielders, which has won the trust and leadership of teammates. Although Eggsy is still a little lacking in experience, Modric and Kroos can make up for this lack of experience.
While Real Madrid was preparing, Atletico Madrid was not idle either. After all, they almost conceded a goal just now, and their own defensive players also knew that when they were staring at Real Madrid's striker, Eggsy took advantage of the opportunity and almost assisted with a pass, so they would definitely tighten their defensive area in the subsequent defense to prevent such mistakes from happening again.
However, Real Madrid seemed very abnormal in the current Atletico attack. Unlike the previous active attack, this time Real Madrid's defense as a whole compressed backwards, Eggsy and Kroos even shouted, and then Eggsy actually stood on the back line with Kroos, which really made Atletico Madrid collectively stunned.
What is Real Madrid doing?
Even Atletico's coaching staff was thinking about this issue. Atletico's striker Torres was still confused when he saw this scene, but this did not hinder his cooperation with Griezmann. The two of them surrounded the left and right sides respectively, while Eggsy was just sitting back and waiting.
Atletico's offensive players more or less felt the change in Real Madrid's tactics, which reminded them that when Real Madrid coach Zidane just made gestures to the midfielders, he was probably asking them to change tactics.
so……
However, Atletico's forwards have already rushed through the midfield and are now regrouping and preparing for the attack in the midfield and in front of the penalty area.
Eggsy stood on the left and watched the entire Atletico Madrid's offensive rhythm. They all knew that Griezmann on the opposite side was also watching. Both sides wanted to quickly rely on their own observations, tactical experience and understanding, to find out the opponent's tactics, and be able to quickly organize and contain the opponent.
"How do we play? How do you want to play?" Eggsy muttered softly, while still watching Atletico's attack. He found that Atletico's attack direction was still on two lines, but Eggsy and Kroos responded immediately.
While Griezmann and Torres were attacking on both fronts, the big net on Real Madrid's side had already been woven. The defense of Eggsy and Kroos was not very strict. To be more precise, their task focus was not on defense at all, but on stealing the ball, or even - intercepting before shooting!
Atletico Madrid was fine when they just passed the midfield, and Real Madrid did not intercept them at all. But once they passed the invisible defensive line, Real Madrid's overall encirclement and interception actions gave all Atletico Madrid players a headache.
Such tight defense and interception completely destroyed Atletico's offensive momentum, not to mention it was gone, it was difficult to save the ball. Torres also had no choice but to shoot at the last moment, but this ball's offensive momentum could not be said to be gone, because it was intercepted by Marcelo almost the moment it rolled towards the goal.
At the moment of interception, Real Madrid changed the offense and defense on the field, and Real Madrid's tactics began!
By the time the Atletico players felt something was wrong, it was already too late. The Real Madrid players began to attack, and in just a moment, except for the four defenders, Kroos, and the unshakable goalkeeper, the rest of the Real Madrid players rushed out and headed straight for Atletico's goal.
At this point, Atletico Madrid's players didn't dare to think about anything and just ran to their own half to try to save the situation. However, this step itself was already taken by Real Madrid. Almost half of Real Madrid's forwards were already in a good state. Although they received a lot of resistance from Atletico Madrid's defensive players, it was useless.
Modric has already started his "long-distance transport" and it is a double-line long-distance transport, because there is Eggsy on the left. However, this tactic really made Atletico dumbfounded.
After all, they had previously guessed that Real Madrid would use a quick tactic to attack them, trying to catch them off guard. But the fact is that it is already 35 minutes into the first half, and Real Madrid's attack has been defensive except for the first one, let alone attacking, and there is no activeness.
Secondly, Atletico Madrid, who guessed that Eggsy would be the main force of Real Madrid's attack, guessed wrong again. Now Real Madrid's offense is Modric, defense is Kroos, and Eggsy is a ranger, who can't be hit, caught, outrun, or stopped. He can still make trouble for you everywhere.
He blocks you when you hold the ball, and he blocks you when you shoot. If you really look for him, you can't find him. But as long as you don't look for him, Eggsy will always pop up and kick you at the critical moment.
Such Rangers would not have been a headache for Atletico Madrid, but if Real Madrid was playing a defensive counterattack, it would be different. It cannot be said to be different, it was simply a total collapse!
Atletico Madrid is not daring to attack now, can you believe it? Because they know that Real Madrid's two midfielders are holding their hands in the middle of the attack and Real Madrid's defenders, who are all forwards, are holding their hands. If there is a mistake or interception, congratulations~ Atletico Madrid will start to return to defense without stopping.
After several times like this, Atletico Madrid dared not attack, and the hesitation in attacking was a foregone conclusion. After 40 minutes of baptism, Atletico Madrid's own offensive route was almost all dragged by Real Madrid. This was also the result of Zidane's tactical arrangement. He actually let the whole team attack once to satisfy Atletico Madrid's speculation on his own tactics.
After confirming it, he immediately changed his tactics and started a defensive counterattack against Atletico's attack. This time, he really hit Atletico's weak spot. However, Zidane's calculations were far from this.
This rookie head coach actually calculated the confidence and physical strength of Atletico Madrid players. Just think about it! When they were busy with their own destiny, running back and forth in attack and defense but without any achievements, how devastating it was.
Doubt, hesitation, Atletico's tactics are still working, which is only the result of the players' own tactics and training. Atletico will definitely not make any achievements in the first half, which is quite successful for Zidane.
When the halftime whistle sounded, it felt like a horn of escape for Atletico Madrid, but it was a pause button for Real Madrid. And this time, because they were old rivals, everyone in Real Madrid returned to the locker room to avoid too much contact with the diehard fans at Atletico Madrid's home stadium.
After arriving at the locker room, all the players drank water or changed their jerseys. Only Eggsy looked around and asked Guti, who was sorting out data, in surprise: "Where are 'Dad' and 'Mom'?"
