Chapter 221 The gap is so big
Real Madrid fans believe that the team has rekindled their fighting spirit and played a truly giant style. Looking at the game on the court, they have reason to believe that Real Madrid still has hope of tying the score, and even overtakes the score in the second half to win the Madrid derby.
The most important thing in a game is hope. As long as there is hope, fans will continue to support it.
But Real Madrid coach Mourinho was full of worries. At the beginning of the second half, he stood on the sidelines. Seeing Real Madrid make a wonderful attack, his expression did not change, and his brows were still frowning.
Mourinho is worried about the team's physical fitness.
In the first half, Real Madrid consumed too much physical fitness, and now they attacked and the game pace was very fast.
If the game continues to be fast paced, Real Madrid will not last long.
"We must tie it as soon as possible!"
Mourinho thought, but he couldn't do anything. This is the shortcomings of being a coach. No matter how much control he has in the game, the players on the court will always decide the winner. Mourinho has no good idea. He can only urge the players to work harder and be more active.
If the opponent is replaced by other teams, Mourinho will not let the team relax the offense at all. Even if he loses the game, he will not let the players overdraw their physical fitness. That will affect other games in the next game, just one league game, if you lose, you will lose, just three points, and there are 38 league games in the whole season, and the impact of one game is actually not that big.
But Atletico Madrid is different.
This is a derby!
Regarding the Spanish league, the biggest influence before was the "Spanish National Derby", that is, the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Now with the rise of Atletico Madrid, the influence of the Madrid derby has also become extremely great. Although it is not as good as the "Spanish National Derby", Real Madrid fans attach more importance to this, especially since the league this season, Real Madrid ranks first in the league, Atletico Madrid ranks second in the league, and the Madrid derby, which is the top competition in the league. With the attention of nearly 100 million fans in front of the TV, Real Madrid has to fight for the last second for face.
Mourinho has no choice but to let the players fight. Even if it affects the subsequent games, there is no second way to go.
Amid the cheering of Real Madrid fans throughout the game, Real Madrid performed well. On the offensive end, C-Ronaldo, Di Maria, Khdira and others were very active, especially C-Ronaldo. He was determined to prove himself and wanted to "revenge" against Wan Sheng. He hoped that Real Madrid could win, and he hoped that he was not a tool used in a "war of saliva". He wanted everyone to know that he, C-Ronaldo, is the best football player in the world.
c-Ronaldo's heart is hot.
After every outstanding performance, he even took a look at the Atletico Madrid coaching seat, as if he was observing whether Wan Sheng was paying attention to himself.
This behavior is confusing.
Spanish national sports commentator Fernandos Sanchez Bob noticed it and said in confusion, "What is C-Roy looking at? There were several times just now, and he looked in that direction." The camera pointed at the coaching seat of Atletico Madrid.
"Is it Wansheng?"
Of course, no one is sure.
Real Madrid performed very well, not that Atletico Madrid had no performance at all. Wan Sheng explained the team's defense, but he emphasized that it was more about "speeding up" and making the pace faster.
Whenever football hits Atletico Madrid, the pace of the game immediately rises to a higher level. Real Madrid has tried to go as fast as possible, but compared with Atletico Madrid's speed, there is still a certain gap.
Atletico Madrid not only has speed, but more importantly, they do a very good job in ball control.
Whenever Atletico Madrid gets the ball, Real Madrid has to retreat heavily to defend, otherwise they will not be able to grab the ball at all.
It felt like I was back in the first half, Atletico Madrid launched an offensive, and Real Madrid passedably ran desperately.
Many times Real Madrid has to rely on fouls to stop it.
This strategy is still very effective.
The second half was 15 minutes long, and Atletico Madrid had not yet threatened Real Madrid's goal. At the same time, Real Madrid also paid four warnings and a yellow card for this.
Real Madrid's defensive approach is despised by the Spanish media. Spain's football environment is different from England. The Spanish advocates more technical and open football, while England emphasizes more on defense and strives for victory. In this regard, English football is more realistic, but it cannot be said that the Spanish's view is wrong. Spanish football is indeed superior to other leagues from a technical perspective.
But Mourinho doesn't care what the media comments after the game. He just wants to defeat Atletico Madrid. As long as he wins, he will be the winner.
The winner has enough voice, and perhaps Real Madrid's playing style will be praised.
Football is a sport that pursues victory.
Real Madrid's foul tactics played a role, and it also made Mourinho relax. As long as Atletico Madrid's offensive cannot threaten the goal, they can let go and fight for the goal.
Mourinho was a little tired at the stand, so he returned and prepared to take a rest.
But at this moment, he saw the young Chinese next door calling Ozil, and gave a few words of advice, then waved his arms at the stadium.
That's a command action?
Probably so.
Mourinho couldn't understand it, but he knew that Wan Sheng must have made some adjustments. He looked carefully for a long time, and when Ozil returned to the stadium, he also understood what it was. He simply stopped going back and walked back to the sidelines to look carefully.
Within a few minutes, Mourinho understood.
Atletico Madrid has increased the number of shots!
Several Atletico Madrid frontcourt players will shoot as long as they get the ball and have a chance. No matter outside the penalty area or inside the penalty area, no matter what angle it is, as long as they are closer to the goal, they will choose to shoot.
Many times, doing so is a waste of opportunity, but the shooting of Atletico Madrid players is undoubtedly very threatening.
Before Atletico Madrid's offense could not play in the penalty area, resulting in more than ten minutes of no threat. In these few minutes, Atletico Madrid had two shots that threatened the goal. Although Casillas defended it, there was still threatening. What if... if the opponent's players took the chance to play a good goal, wouldn't they rewrite the score?
Some media commentators are analyzing, but Mourinho remembered the tactics used by Wan Sheng to play against Chelsea when he led Manchester City.
When Wan Sheng coached Manchester City in his first season, Manchester City's strength was far behind Chelsea, so Wan Sheng's choice was to shrink the defense line, which was like a replica of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid matches. Chelsea has been attacking, while Manchester City has shrunk the defense line and used the sea of people to defend.
At that time, Manchester City's way of winning goals was to increase long shots.
The frontcourt players looked for an opportunity and took a long shot. Mourinho didn't care at first, but after a few long shots, Manchester City rewritten the score.
Now Atletico Madrid is doing the same.
Mourinho felt a little stunned. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He originally thought that it would be fine to limit Atletico Madrid's offensive, but he didn't expect Atletico Madrid to play like this!
This is simply a secret weapon!
Real Madrid has been so passive. Although the offense is good, it is very difficult to recover the score when two goals are behind. On the court, Real Madrid has to rely on large-scale retreat defense and foul tactics to limit Atletico Madrid's offense.
Together, the physical fitness consumed by Real Madrid players can be imagined.
They can't hold on for too long!
Atletico Madrid threatens the goal in this way, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Real Madrid. No matter how hard they work, Atletico Madrid still has a way, and the danger of the goal will make Real Madrid more dangerous.
Mourinho suddenly felt desperate!
Atletico Madrid has such a great advantage and has taken out a "secret weapon" to find a chance to score. It really doesn't give the team any hope of tying the score!
The whole game has been around for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
Physical confrontation does not have an advantage.
Technology cooperation is weak.
Tactical weakness.
Weak speed.
Now Real Madrid is working hard to exhaust their physical strength, but Atletico Madrid has relied on long shots to get back such a little disadvantage.
How can such an opponent be fought?
Mourinho felt powerless... The media that supported Atletico Madrid laughed at him for never beating the young Chinese. He felt that this sentence was correct. Even if he held Real Madrid, one of the top European teams, how should he play in the face of Atletico Madrid, which has all abilities above the top?
Perhaps, only when Atletico Madrid is careless will he have a chance to win!
Mourinho never wants to admit defeat, but now facing two goals behind and no advantage in the game, he knows that Real Madrid must have lost.
Atletico Madrid has filled the road, leaving Real Madrid with no way out.
The support from Real Madrid fans at the scene was more like a kind of irony.
Madrid derby!
The game has been played like this, what else can I say? As long as Atletico Madrid doesn’t make big mistakes on its own, Real Madrid will definitely have no chance!
In the 77th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid scored a goal.
Atletico Madrid's shooting efficiency is not high, but more times will cause qualitative changes.
Ozil gave the pass to the middle, allowing J-Rodriguez to find an opportunity. He waved his right foot towards the football and directly pulled the ball towards the goal.
An absolute blind spot!
Real Madrid goalkeeper judged the right position, but still failed to save the powerful shot.
“gooooooooooooooooool!!!”
"Atlan Madrid leads the home team Real Madrid in 3 goals away! It is hard to imagine that this will be a Madrid derby, the top competition in the league. Looking at the whole game, it is like Atletico Madrid is playing against a small ball, but they are Real Madrid, who have C-Roy, Benzema, Di Maria and other stars!"
"0 to 3, it's really an unexpected score! The game is completely one-sided!"
When Atletico Madrid scored the first two goals in the first half, many Real Madrid fans booed to express their disdain for the goal.
But now... there is almost nothing!
Real Madrid fans were beaten to no aura. Real Madrid kept working hard in the second half, but there was no result at all. The goals still belonged to their arch rival Atletico Madrid, but there was one thing they couldn't understand: Real Madrid is one of the best teams in Europe. Even though they were suppressed by Barcelona a few years ago, they are still a giant in Europe, and they still have the strength to compete for the league championship and the Champions League championship. The team is full of stars, and there are also one of the best stars in the world like C-Ronaldo. Why is the current game as if it is much worse than its opponent Atletico Madrid?
How did the gap come about?
Has Atletico Madrid's football broken through the earth and flew into the universe?
Not only Real Madrid fans, but many media commentators have also begun to reflect.
Since it is reflection, we need to find the reason. Compared with the two teams, the first thing many people think of is... head coach Mourinho.
