Chapter 185: Another Battle with Atletico Madrid (Part 3)
"Where are 'Dad' and 'Mom'?"
When the players heard Eggsy mention dad and mom, they knew he was joking, so they laughed too. They weren't laughing at the joke, but they thought Eggsy's words were quite appropriate.
The name of "dad and mom" fully reflects the two important figures in the team who always care about our lives and teach us-Zidane and Modric.
The head coach dad who is very smart, capable, cunning, and completely impossible to beat, and the midfield mom who is always worrying and feeds the ball like an old lady.
You know, it's halftime now, there's no reason for these two to miss the golden time of taking care of the kids and learning about tactics. Where are they now? ?
Guti, who was holding a tactical board, said calmly: "Our team's bus had a punctured tire, but don't worry, Zidane will definitely be able to solve this problem."
"As for your Modric's mother, there are two reporters with the team today, and she will have an exclusive interview after the game today." Guti said it beautifully, but it made people feel burdened when they heard it.
Eggsy blinked, thought for a moment and said, "But it's halftime now."
How much time is available during the halftime break to complete an interview?
"Baby, your Modric's mother has to answer a few questions now. Just deal with it because he doesn't want to stay in Atletico after the game." After all, their bus had just had its tire punctured, and staying in Atletico for an interview would only increase the danger.
"So until your mom and dad come back, your uncle and brothers will take care of you." After saying that, Guti knocked Eggsy's little head with the tactical board. Looking at Eggsy's braided hair, Guti reached out and rubbed it twice with evil intentions.
"Hey! Modric helped me tie it!" Eggsy covered his head and frowned at Guti. He had just grown his hair to medium length and was not very good at tying it. Every time he tied it, it would either be missing a little here or sticking up there.
So it is usually Modric's mother who helps him tie his hair into a bun before the game. Now that Guti has messed up his hair, the child started screaming.
But what bad intentions could Guti have? At most, he just wanted to see his little guy's puffy cheeks. He not only messed up Eggsy's hair and loosened his hair rope, but also rubbed it twice. It must be said that it felt really good, soft, shiny and smooth.
Eggsy had no choice but to pretend to be angry~, well, that's why the team members like to do this.
After teasing Eggsy, Guti took out the tactical board and reminded the children at home according to the instructions of his father Zidane that they must seize the opportunity to switch tactics in the second half to catch Atletico off guard.
"Okay, kids," Guti smiled at the players present and continued to joke with Eggsy's words: "Have a good rest and perform well later. Mom and Dad will be back soon."
Marcelo was squeezing water from a cup into his mouth at this time. When he heard what Guti said, he half-jokingly said, "You look so serious, how can you be a kindergarten teacher? You can scare children to tears."
Guti rubbed his face after hearing this, and walked to the mirror at the door of the bathroom next to him, looked around, and then looked at Marcelo and raised his eyebrows: "If this little friend doesn't behave well, I will confiscate your bottle."
Marcelo was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the "bottle" should be his water cup. For a moment, he looked at the water bottle in his hand with a bit of a smile and tears in his eyes. He felt that they were really in the kindergarten of Real Madrid now.
Jokes aside, games aside. After a bit of frolicking, Real Madrid returned after the halftime break. When Eggsy came on the court, his hair had not been tied up yet. He was struggling with several rubber bands in his hands with his hair down.
It has to be said that Eggsy has been tying his hair up for a long time now, and few people see him with his hair down. Now he still looks very good, and even the host couldn't help but make a joke: "Anyway, the player in the No. 14 position of Real Madrid has good hair. Before it was the Golden Wolf Guti, and now..."
The host was obviously thinking about how to give Eggsy a nickname, and another host followed up with a very clever sentence: "Well, now it's also a golden wolf, the color of its eyes is really beautiful."
Eggsy failed to tie his hair twice, and the director did not miss a single time and filmed it directly, but the director was not kind enough to show it on the big screen. However, the audience watching the live broadcast saw it, and could not help laughing as they watched the angry young man tying his hair, which became more and more messy. In the end, they sighed and shook their hands tiredly.
“Hahahaha~~”
Both male and female fans in front of the TV grinned, and then Bale came over and started to help Eggsy. The two said something, and Eggsy took off the little bun that Bale had tied for him and scratched his head. While Bale was smiling, Eggsy turned around and glared at him.
He probably felt that the knot was too tight, and the matter was not resolved until Modric came over and tied it up for him.
"Hahaha, Real Madrid seems to have a good atmosphere."
"Yes, after all, they were the ones who set the pace in the first half."
The two hosts also watched the show with great interest, but despite all the joking, they stopped talking about such irrelevant things once the competition started.
"This time it was Atletico who took the initiative to attack. To be honest, Atletico's performance in the first half was a bit disappointing." The host's quick change of topic was indeed eye-catching, but what he said was indeed the truth.
"If Atletico doesn't change anything in the second half, it's hard to say."
But has Atletico changed? Yes.
They also knew that they were led by Real Madrid in the first half and had lost their temper, so they changed their tactics this time but did not make any substitutions, letting Griezmann go forward, which was gamble everything on the forward's quick attack.
To put it bluntly, Atletico Madrid attempted to break through Real Madrid's defense by playing fast break.
In fact, it is not wrong to think so. As long as you break through Real Madrid's defense, you can start to interrupt Real Madrid's most fundamental defensive counterattack. But the problem is, is Real Madrid's defense easy to break through?
Judging from the individual abilities of these players, it is not difficult, because they all have the heart of a striker, but it is difficult to break through the collective defense of these defenders who seem to be a little "unfocused". Although they seem to be unfocused, are they really so?
Griezmann looked at Real Madrid's four-man defense line plus Kroos, and his passing and attack began to be hindered here. He and the midfielder behind him had to be careful all the time, because Eggestein and Modric would suddenly rush out from the left, center and right to start an attack, and the ball might be intercepted by the two of them.
Atletico Madrid's offense is difficult to advance, and if they don't advance, they will be counterattacked. But if they want to break through the counterattack, they must play fast break...
Griezmann stood there and thought for a while, and suddenly found himself in a terrible dead loop! He was trying to find a way to break through, and as expected, he saw his ball being intercepted before Real Madrid's penalty area.
Of course, Atletico's head coach also saw this dilemma and had to admit that his idea was too naive. Or maybe Zidane had expected it, so he arranged for Eggesie and Modric to harass the team constantly, while Kroos organized and participated in the defense, effectively blocking their attack and stranding them in the area outside the penalty area, and then he thought of another way - defensive counterattack!
How the hell do I fight this?
Atletico's head coach is not stupid. He looked at this tactic, thought about it and decided to change it! He had to change it. It was already 10 minutes into the second half, and there were 35 minutes of extra time. If he wanted to avenge his previous defeat, he could only rely on this little time. How could he not be anxious!
However, the most urgent thing now is not how to change tactics, because Real Madrid has intercepted Atletico's return pass after failing to attack for a long time and turned around to start the attack.
Let’s defend this ball first.
Although Atletico's offense is still not good, their defense is really good this time. They locked in a lot of goals, and they were almost blocking the goal hand in hand. Bale and Benzema were also very active in fighting for position as shadow strikers today. Later, Ronaldo, who was surrounded and wanted to break through, was also troubled by Atletico's tight defense.
Then the three of them couldn't help but look back, wanting to see when the midfielder would come to pass the ball.
Because Atletico Madrid put the full-backs next to the midfielder slightly back, it was clear that they were increasing the number of defenders. Such a defense would definitely cause trouble for Real Madrid's offense and breakthroughs, and the cross-pass between Eggesi and Modric was not so smooth at this time.
As soon as Eggsy received the ball, two defenders were already working together to defend him. Eggsy turned around and did a 360-degree spin with the ball. The ball under his feet changed position several times due to his agile movements, and those Atletico players who wanted to block his feet were actually shaken off.
Is it a breakthrough or a pass?
Faced with this button that would be blocked in an instant, Eggsy turned around, facing the defensive player with his back, and then stopped the ball on the instep of his feet and made two consecutive rotations, perfectly dribbling the ball out!
Eggsy's beautiful pass made the coaching staff in the lounge clench their fists! Zidane watched Eggsy's pass without any concealment. A beautiful arc line passed directly over the heads of Atletico Madrid and fell accurately in front of Bale!
"Go! Bell!"
I don't know who shouted in the crowd, but Bale looked up and saw the pass from Eggsy. To be honest, there were crowds of people around Bale and Benzema, but it was useless even if there were so many people.
In terms of height, Bale really stands out from the crowd, while Benzema's height is also acceptable. At this time, Bale saw the high ball from Eggsy, and he started directly, jumped up, and after catching the ball in the air, he shook his head hard, and this ball went straight towards Atletico Madrid's goal with confidence!
And this is a standard sinking ball!
Just as the ball was about to fall into the net, Atletico's goalkeeper jumped up and used the hand wearing the goalkeeper's glove to hit the ball hard.
But during the time when he was falling, Benzema, who was with Bale, rushed out of the crowd, looked at Zhi Yiqiu and kicked him out directly -
