Chapter 257: Silence for the opponent
All Europe hopes that Atletico Madrid will lose, but Atletico Madrid is not lacking in supporters. The Spanish media, who is known as "As", supports Atletico Madrid and hopes that Atletico Madrid will create glory.
Media outside Europe also support Atletico Madrid. For them, any brilliant record at Atletico Madrid is just watching the excitement. Of course, the bigger the excitement, the better. Atletico Madrid has many supporters around the world.
China's non-pure Real Madrid fans also support Atletico Madrid.
No matter how famous Real Madrid is and how many stars there are, it is also a Spanish team. It has nothing to do with China. Atletico Madrid is different. The holding company is a Chinese company. There are many Chinese club managers, the head coach is Chinese, and there are also new stars like Wang Qiuming among the players. In the eyes of Chinese fans, Atletico Madrid is half a Chinese team. When the national team always encounters ups and downs, the Chinese team creates glory in the European league, which is of course worthy of support.
Among the many public opinions, the Madrid derby officially kicked off at Calderon Stadium.
Before the game, Atletico Madrid was not greatly affected by public opinion. Wansheng asked the team to conduct a three-day closed training. The team did not accept any media interviews. Then, Atletico Madrid's training was opened on that day.
Then in the evening, the competition officially started.
Many people think that under such great public pressure, Atletico Madrid will definitely be under pressure. Even at home, it is difficult to exert all its strength. But in fact, Atletico Madrid on the field cannot be affected at all. How they should play or how they play, and the team is the best tactics.
From the first minute of the game, Atletico Madrid launched the ‘bt-f’ system tactics, and the pace, running and passing and receiving continuously made the game look very exciting.
Many game commentators seem to have repeated a sentence from the beginning, "Atletico Madrid must slow down the pace, they can't always be so fast..."
Ten minutes have passed.
Twenty minutes have passed.
Then there were ten minutes. By the 30th minute of the first half, Atletico Madrid still maintained its qualities.
Real Madrid's defensive arrangement is very tight.
Mourinho did not want to compete with Atletico Madrid in an offensive manner. Real Madrid played conservatively from the beginning. They spent most of their time fighting and defending, and the scene seemed very passive.
Mourinho is not in a hurry, he is waiting for the second half.
Atletico Madrid has a very advantageous offense, and their cooperation is better than Real Madrid. If it is a head-on attack, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to win, so Mourinho has no hesitation to let the team defend and counterattack.
The first half was almost over, and Atletico Madrid did not score, which represents the success of Real Madrid.
Mourinho waited patiently for the second half. In his opinion, as long as Atletico Madrid did not score in the first half, Real Madrid would have an advantage.
There is a gap in physical fitness between the two sides, but undoubtedly Atletico Madrid's playing style consumes more physical fitness. They can wait for the opponent to run out of physical energy, and Atletico Madrid will collapse by itself.
It would be strange if Atletico Madrid could not even hold on to the half, and Real Madrid would not be able to lose to their opponents in a row.
In the eyes of the media and fans, the first half passed in almost a blink of an eye.
Neither team scored a goal.
During the halftime break, Mourinho asked the players to continue to work hard, "Victory must belong to us!"
"They can't insist on playing like this in the whole game, they're almost out of their way!"
Mourinho's words inspired the entire Real Madrid team. In the eyes of the players, they just need to persist seriously and wait for Atletico Madrid to lose physical fitness in the second half.
Then they continued to wait.
Ten minutes...
Twenty minutes...
By the 70th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid still did not slow down the pace. Their players seemed to be unable to use up their physical fitness. Those Real Madrid players who were waiting patiently felt that they were almost out of energy.
The media said that Atletico Madrid is under great pressure, but Real Madrid players are actually the same!
Real Madrid has not defeated Atletico Madrid in the past two seasons. No, they have never tied a game. They have a great disadvantage in their hearts. Whenever they encounter problems with Atletico Madrid, the mentality of players will be very pessimistic.
Just like now.
Head coach Mourinho said that Atletico Madrid will definitely slow down the pace in the second half due to physical problems, but after waiting for so long, they still didn't see it, and the opponent became more and more energetic.
They are the exact opposite.
Real Madrid is the defensive side. They play very passively. They start defending from the first minute and continue to defend until now for 70 minutes. Some midfielders, such as midfielder Xavi Alonso, have not received a pass in the offense until now. Every time they run to the front, they run back. It will take a long time to wait for the next offensive opportunity.
Real Madrid players felt tired.
Not only were they physically exhausted, but they were even more mentally exhausted. The 76th minute of the game made Real Madrid's morale extremely low - Atletico Madrid scored a goal!
This goal comes from a sudden pass by J-Rodriguez.
When J-Rodriguez dribbled forward, Real Madrid central defender Carvalho immediately stepped forward to press.
If Carvalho uses his rich experience and defends his defense, it will be difficult for J-Rodriguez to have a chance. After all, Carvalho is a very outstanding defender. Even Ronaldo has a headache for him. It is very difficult for J-Rodriguez to swing over Carvalho head-on, but Carvalho is too impatient. After completing the judgment, he directly tackled.
Facing Carvalho's aggressive pressing, J-Rodriguez pushed the ball to the side, and then he jumped up and flashed to the side.
Carvalho just shoveled over.
j-Rodriguez's arm hit Carvalho's shoulder, which made Rodriguez stabilize his body and then directly dribbled the ball.
j-Rodriguez's change of direction is very simple and the effect is surprisingly good. Carvalho's tackle failed to touch the ball. This extremely simple and practical outrage also shows the player's superb footwork skills.
A simple move can still pass the world-class central defender at the most correct time.
Carvalho had never expected the other party to dodge easily and left himself behind. When he could only look back, he realized that this Colombian, who was praised by many media, was really a difficult guy to deal with.
Seeing this scene, Wansheng smiled with satisfaction.
Recently, J-Rodriguez has performed better and better. His current performance can be called the "world's top midfielder". He is also more at ease with the team's midfield configuration next season.
j-Rodriguez has dribbled into the penalty area.
Pepe came to fill the spot, interfering with J-Rodriguez's shot. He lost the space to swing, but passed the ball to the perimeter in the gap.
This foot was unexpected!
Raul Garcia ran against the ball. Instead of receiving the ball, he pushed the ball forward, and the football rushed directly from Pepe and rolled towards the empty belt on the right.
The one who keeps up there is Kevin De Bruyne!
"Garcia's direct pass! Beautiful! De Bruyne keeps up!" Juan Andres, a broadcaster at Calderon Stadium, couldn't help but shout.
This pass is quite exquisite.
Not only was the football passed, but the football just rolled in front of Kevin De Bruyne.
Kevin De Bruyne had just run over, and he was still a little stunned. He didn't know what was going on, but the ball was right in front of him. Fortunately, he had a lot of shooting training on weekdays.
He doesn't want to understand how to get the chance, what's important now is...shot!
Powerful volley!
The football was like a cannonball, and he was bombarded at the Real Madrid goal.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas struggled to save. He opened his arms and tried to close more angles, but the football flew over from under his arm.
When the football flew into the goal, there was an alarming cry at the Calderon Stadium, and all Atletico Madrid fans were shouting excitedly.
From the beginning of the game to now, Atletico Madrid has been attacking, but it has not been able to break the Real Madrid goal.
At this time, the fans also realized that it was not good.
If you don't score for a long time, Atletico Madrid will be in danger, especially at the last moment of the game, the attacking side will often take it lightly, while the defense side will counterattack.
Many fans don’t understand this truth, but they have watched a lot of games. They can still see which team is in danger.
Now that Atletico Madrid has finally completed the goal, they can also vent their depression.
Kevin De Bruyne on the field was a little stunned.
Almost all cameras pointed at it, but in fact he had no idea how he got the opportunity. But football has been in Real Madrid fans. The referee signaled that the goal was valid and the score had been rewritten. In other words, he scored the first goal in the game.
This goal is likely to help the team win!
Kevin De Bruyne was very excited. He reacted and jumped directly from the spot into the air, then jumped and stopped until his teammates came to hug him.
Atletico Madrid begins to celebrate!
All the players cheered all the time on the court, and everyone was hugging and celebrating in the coach's seat. Wan Sheng also hugged Diamares and did not let go until his excitement was almost exaggerated, not caring about Diamares' grinning expression.
Everyone is venting their heart's content.
Calderon Stadium commentator Juan Andres has already shouted, "g1!!! De Bruyne! De Bruyne!"
"The Belgian helped Atletico break the deadlock! He broke through the door guarded by Cassie with a wonderful volley!"
Juan Andres was also surprised.
As Calderon Stadium radio, he is much more professional than ordinary fans. In his opinion, Atletico Madrid has created extremely brilliant brilliance for 7 consecutive days. Even judging by the "probability", it is time to lose this game.
Before the game, he held his heart to lose.
The game process was similar to what was expected. Atletico Madrid had not scored a goal, but suddenly, Atletico Madrid used a wonderful cooperation to break the Real Madrid goal.
What does this goal mean? Almost certainly, Real Madrid wants to win this game...it's difficult!
Then Atletico Madrid will usher in 71 rounds unbeaten!??
It's really scary!
He understood a little why so many media analyzed that Atletico Madrid would lose the game before the game.
When he thought that Atletico Madrid would create 71 rounds of unbeaten, even as a team supporter, he began to observe silence for Atletico Madrid's opponents... (To be continued.)8
Chapter completed!
