Chapter 186: Fighting Atletico Madrid Again (End)
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 -
However, Griezmann and Torres arrived and made a beautiful cross-tackle to protect the ball!
All the fans in the stands of Atletico Madrid almost jumped up and cheered loudly! This save was really beautiful, and these two saves can be regarded as classic highlights!
Although the fans were still excited, all the players on the field did not relax. When the players who had just made up for the mistake were still subconsciously looking for the ball that had just been tackled, a figure suddenly appeared and stunned everyone on the spot.
Many Atletico Madrid players' faces turned blue at this time!
Because Ronaldo appeared suddenly, and he rushed to the middle from the left, and kicked the ball out with the tip of his shoe. The direction of this ball was still beyond the goalkeeper Moya, Griezmann and Torres.
As the ball went in, the entire white net shook, and the Atletico Madrid fans' stands stopped completely as if the pause button had suddenly been pressed!
"Excellent! The three consecutive saves and saves by Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were all quite wonderful!" The host's words were certainly not that simple, and he then said: "However, Real Madrid's persistent follow-up shot and Atletico Madrid's final relaxation really made people astonished."
"It's a pity for Atletico, but Ronaldo's position was indeed a coincidence." The host even replayed a slow-motion shot and said: "It just happened that he was blocked by Atletico's own defender, otherwise Moya might have been able to react."
It was just a reaction. In fact, Ronaldo was too close to the goal at that time. No matter how you look at it, the offensive player has the advantage in such a short-distance shot.
In fact, everyone from the coaching staff to the players of Atletico knew that when the third shot was taken, Real Madrid's forwards had already pulled the attack line to Atletico's goal. Even if Ronaldo did not score, unless Atletico's goalkeeper Moya directly controlled the ball, Modric and Eggestein who were running behind would also have taken the shot.
After scoring the goal, Ronaldo quickly rushed back to the neutral players' stand, sprinted and slid to his knees with his arms open, and behind him were Bale, Benzema, Eggsy and a group of people approaching him.
Eggsy ran over and threw herself on Ronaldo with her last jump. Ronaldo hugged Eggsy firmly and kissed him on the head. Then they were hugged by Bale and Benzema who caught up from behind, and the four of them rolled into a ball.
In the rest area, Zidane had not returned yet, and only Guti was watching. Guti did not stop Ronaldo and Eggizi from celebrating, and even applauded them to encourage them. After all, Real Madrid was leading by one point, and Atletico Madrid was under more pressure.
The celebration of Ronaldo and Eggsy did not last too long. When they stood up, Ronaldo, Eggsy and Benzema all looked around at the same time. 1. To see if Zidane had not returned yet, 2. To see if Guti had any new instructions and whether he wanted to change tactics.
However, Guti did not say anything, which made them understand immediately that this meant they had to continue defending and counterattacking.
After all, this set of tactics really gave Atletico Madrid a headache. You couldn't break this kind of defense, they were controlled in front of the penalty area and couldn't attack. The double-control strategy of losing the ball at any time really scared them to death.
But Atletico Madrid would not give up so easily. After losing the ball, Atletico Madrid's coaching staff immediately applied for a substitution. They directly replaced a defender and added a midfielder. It was obvious that they were playing to the death!
The consequences of such a desperate gamble were of course obvious. After the substitution, Atletico's attack immediately intensified, and they even began to control the ball in an attempt to push their offensive momentum forward.
This created a wonderful scene on the field. As long as the ball passed the middle, Atletico, who had just attacked the stone very quickly, slowed down, but their passing continued. Because they had to prevent Eggezi and Modric from intercepting, every player would start passing the ball within three steps or after moving for a while after receiving the ball.
The problem is that Atletico's forwards came with 4-6 players at once, while there were only 2 players to intercept Eggezi and Modric. So Kroos would move forward and form an inverted triangle ball control area with the two midfielders in front.
This is a very traditional ball possession area, because there are always 2-3 people dribbling the ball and assisting in passing the ball, but the three-person ball possession area can be large or small to control the opponent, intercept the opponent's ball, and also launch an offensive trend instantly after intercepting, and then dribbling all the way up.
But the key is that these three people must have a strong sense of position and the ability to organize offense, and the key is that their personal skills must also be strong, otherwise it will not work if they cannot dribble but pass the ball, or fail to intercept the ball.
This kind of triangle passing and control is tailor-made for the three midfielders of Real Madrid. After Atletico's pass, the ball still cannot penetrate. Even if the people come in, but the ball can't get in, isn't it useless?
In fact, Real Madrid does not insist on such passing and controlling, because their main goal is to intercept, cut off Atletico's ball, and instantly launch a □□-like quick counterattack. This is the script of Real Madrid's defensive counterattack.
"The situation on the field has changed slightly after Atletico made a substitution, but the problem didn't last long." The host looked at the situation on the field and it was not difficult to guess what Atletico was worried about. "Griezmann was holding the ball forward and was blocked by Ramos and passed back. It can be seen that he didn't want to fight with the defenders."
"It's Torres' turn to receive the ball now. Ah, he received the ball on the left! Beautiful, he's speeding up, speeding up! Hey--" The host thought he could find a chance to get into the middle and then shoot to equalize the score, but now it was beyond the host's expectations: "Marcelo defended, what should Torres do? Force the attack, or pass back?"
Torres did not choose to pass back, because Atletico Madrid now values every offensive task very much. The game will end in 27 minutes. Although there is injury time, this time is far from enough for Atletico Madrid.
With a 1-point difference, Real Madrid defended tightly and launched a counterattack to rebound, while Atletico Madrid attacked, attacked, and attacked with all their might. Anyway, they couldn't get the 1 point, so it was useless to talk about injury time.
Back on the field, Torres was thinking of using this ball to force a breakthrough, while Griezmann on the other side was also rushing into the Real Madrid defense, trying to position himself to provide auxiliary support for Torres, but the next second Torres had a physical collision with Marcelo when he was impacting.
Marcelo actually blocked Torres's charge, and he even used his body to block Torres' attack route, while trying to disrupt Torres' dribbling with his feet. This made Torres dare not rush forward, for fear that he would lose his balance and lose the ball.
"Hey, Torres is trying to force a charge, what should Marcelo do here? Torres charged, oh!"
The host uttered a brief exclamation, not because they had any new discoveries, but because Torres could no longer bear it and kicked his foot.
He knew that it was unlikely that he would be successful if he rashly kicked the ball in such a situation, but Griezmann had already occupied a good position, and he had now accelerated to break away from the defense of Real Madrid defenders and was running towards the ball quickly to make a follow-up shot.
But at this time there was another person who was rushing towards the ball, that was Navas, the goalkeeper of Real Madrid!
Navas pounced on the ball like a hungry tiger, hugged it and pressed it under his body, and Griezmann couldn't do anything with it at that time. How can he make a follow-up shot if you play like this?
Not only did the Atletico Madrid players hold their heads in frustration, but even the Atletico Madrid fans were extremely frustrated. However, Real Madrid would not give them any chance or possibility and directly blocked them.
After Navas intercepted the ball, he passed it directly to Modric in front of him. Then Modric and Eggestein made a double breakthrough, breaking down Atletico's defense and counterattacking it, although it arrived late.
When Atletico Madrid's head coach saw this scene, he turned around speechlessly, covering his forehead, thinking about how to play in the remaining 18 minutes to equalize the game.
On the Real Madrid side, Zidane had just returned to his rest area. He was not panicked at all, because he probably knew the situation on the field. So he was not surprised at all. After arriving at his rest area, he happily looked at the scoreboard and applauded the players on the field.
Although Real Madrid was happy, Atletico Madrid was not at ease at all. They had already started their eighth attack in the second half, even though they knew the chances of breaking through Real Madrid's defense were very slim.
But even if there is a slight chance, they will not give up. Real Madrid is the same. In the counterattack, they also defend seriously. Even if they know they can win stably, they will not miss any possibility of attack as always.
Of course, to put it simply, every defender has the heart of a striker. If the situation permits, these defenders must be allowed to take a walk to ensure that they do not give Navas the chance when they play as defenders.
Of course, it is also possible that Navas completely let them go~ After all, Navas told Eggsy that he actually wanted to tie all these defenders to the goal with belts.
Of course, Eggsy just listened, and then whenever he could go to the back line, he would always help Navas defend.
So the end of the game finally arrived, 1:0. After all, Real Madrid's defenders were not released to show their forward performance, and Atletico's attack did not result in a goal.
By the end, everyone in Atletico Madrid was extremely frustrated, especially in the last minute, when they were still attacking hard, which made many Atletico fans burst into tears.
Although Atletico's performance impressed the Real Madrid players to a great extent, due to the derby rivalry between the two teams, the Real Madrid players quickly entered the locker room. They did not forget that the tire of the Real Madrid bus was punctured today.
There was no need to change jerseys or make friends. The Real Madrid players returned to the locker room as quickly as possible. Those who needed to take a shower took a shower, and those who needed to change clothes changed clothes. They waited for their head coach Zidane to come back from the post-match press conference and then take everyone back to Real Madrid.
