Chapter 44: Aftermath
Chapter 44 Aftermath
"The referee blew the whistle for the first half of the game, and there seemed to be some arguments between Real Madrid's star Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale!"
Cristiano Ronaldo was obviously very unhappy with Bale's choice to shoot from distance instead of passing, but Bale's choice is debatable, and if he had passed that ball to Cristiano Ronaldo who had pulled out gaps, the chances might have been better. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In fact, it is understandable that Bale is staring at the value of nearly 100 million euros to join Real Madrid this season, but his role in the team has not been able to match his price of 100 million euros, and his calf injury often affects his performance, not to mention that the position he is most familiar with on the left side after coming to Real Madrid has not been with him, and he must be more anxious in his heart.
He wanted to make a difference in this crucial battle for the top of the table, helping the team consolidate his position at the top of the table, while also cementing his place in the team.
The most direct way to do this is to score goals!
However, in the first half, the Welsh king couldn't get any decent shots.
At one point, he was even forced to play as a right-back to help Arbeloa's defence - Bale, who debuted at left-back, would still be commendable if he was seriously involved in defence.
Not only him, but the entire Real Madrid strikers in this game had few shots on goal - except for Benzema's cushion in front of the goal in the opening game.
This goal is all because Atletico Madrid's midfield counter-robbery is too crazy, they are completely unsparing their physical strength into the midfield pressing, and even their two strikers Diego Costa and Li Qingshan also take turns to participate in the midfield pressing.
And when they overtook the score, the momentum of Atletico Madrid began to bombard the penalty area of Real Madrid!
"I think at that time, Real Madrid's goal was already shaky, and not conceding goals consistently shows that Real Madrid are lucky in this game." Duan Xuan said. "The Real Madrid fans must have been very tormented at that time. Of course, halftime must have been a relief for them. Now it's up to the managers of both sides to adjust! ”
In the box at Calderón Stadium, Cerezo watched with a smile as the players from both sides walked into the tunnel.
Atletico Madrid's performance made him quite proud.
On the other side, Florentino's face was not good-looking. The new phase of the Galaxy Battleship, which he spent a lot of money to build, was once suppressed in the penalty area and couldn't move in this game, which made him feel disgraced.
Even the smile on Cerezo's face was interpreted by him as a mockery of him.
As a politician with a strong desire for power and self-esteem, Florentino could not bear such a humiliating scene.
He made an excuse and walked out of the box and dialed Ancelotti's phone.
At this time, Carlo Ancelotti was waiting in the dressing room for the Real Madrid players. When he picked up the phone and looked at it, he felt a little unhappy.
If the chairman of the team calls when the team is ahead, it may be a compliment, but when the team is behind, the chairman of the team calls and everyone knows what is going on. Especially the president of a team like Florentino, who is very controlling.
But An Fatzi still answered the phone, as a person who can control his emotions very well, he will not easily choose to clash head-on with the players or the team's top management.
Sure enough, Florentino was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half, and he said that Real Madrid must attack with all their strength in the second half.
After Ancelotti hung up the phone, she shook her head with a little crying and laughter. His original plan was to stabilize the position first, and now Real Madrid is only one goal behind, Atletico Madrid's tactics are extremely physical consumption, as long as Real Madrid stabilizes its position, after 70 minutes, Real Madrid can seek an opportunity to equalize or even overtake.
He decided to ignore Florentino's command and proceeded with his plan.
He had anticipated the difficulties of this game before the game, but he did not expect Atletico's player form to come out so quickly and so crazy.
In the case of leading at the beginning, he was still optimistic about this game at that time, but then it was quickly equalized, which was a big blow to the team's morale.
The momentum of both sides of the football game is very important, how the side with momentum plays and how to have, the passing and receiving feel much smoother, while the side with declining momentum makes frequent mistakes.
Thankfully, he can make some changes to the team at half-time.
.........
From the time of the tiebreaker to the half-time break, the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands have been singing and cheering. Having beaten Real Madrid on their home turf was enough to make them happy.
What's more, if they win this game, they can regain the top spot and open up the gap with their competitors. With few league rounds left, the La Liga champions are already vaguely beckoning to them!
La Liga champions, Atletico Madrid have not won La Liga since 1996, can Atletico Madrid fans not be happy?
At halftime, they were still singing and dancing in the stands, and they didn't mean to die down at all.
On the other side, the Real Madrid fans in the visiting stands were much more miserable, and if it was the Bernabeu, they would have waved white handkerchiefs to protest the team's performance.
The Bernabeu is probably one of the few stadiums where the home team is booed on a regular basis.
It's just that when the opponent is also singing and dancing now, the side is booing its own players......... Of course, they know that this kind of thing is wrong.
...........
In the dressing room of Atletico Madrid, Simeone praised the team's performance in the first half.
However, he also reminded the elated Atletico players: "There are still 45 minutes left in the second half! And we're just one goal ahead! This one-goal lead is not safe, we must play twelve points in the second half of the game, if there is a chance, we are scoring a few goals against them, ending the suspense of the game, if there is no chance, we must be cautious and focused, do not give them any chance! ”
At the start of the second half, Real Madrid made two substitutions in a row at the beginning.
Carlo Ancelotti replaced his two starting wing-backs, Coentrão and Arbeloa, with Marcelo and Carvajal.
Real Madrid's play on the flanks is crucial, with two superstars, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, the biggest threat to Real Madrid's attack.
So Carlo Ancelotti replaced two full-backs to strengthen the wings and give them more support. He had already arranged for two of his main full-backs to sit on the bench as a back-up move before the game.
As for the altercation between Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale near the end of the first half, there was nothing wrong with him in his opinion, and he saw it a lot on the pitch.
The most important thing now is to settle down and then look for an equaliser.
