Chapter 427: The Man Ball Splits
Disappointed? Atletico Madrid fans have reason to be disappointed, and so far in the season, Atletico Madrid fans see hope for a revival of the team, a victory over their sworn enemies.
But now, just twenty minutes into the game, they are already two goals down, which reminds them of the past few years.
On the field, because of the two-goal deficit, the mentality of Atletico Madrid's players began to change, and the annoyed and angry Atletico Madrid players began to become rude.
Not long after the game restarted, Costa directly knocked down Pepe when he encountered Pepe's defense, but fortunately, Pepe's temper has changed a lot now, otherwise Costa's behavior is estimated to be able to do it with Master Pepe.
However, Pepe endured it, but Ramos next to Pepe couldn't endure it, although the two were in different camps, but the relationship between the two has always been very good.
Therefore, the referee may have turned a blind eye to Costa's foul because of Atletico Madrid's two-goal deficit, which angered the Real Madrid vice-team a little.
Fortunately, the referee was by the side of the two at the moment, and warned both sides at the first time, so as not to further expand the conflict.
However, this did also fuel Atletico's arrogance, and in the next five minutes, Atletico committed three fouls in an attempt to stop Real Madrid and vent their frustrations.
The Atletico players have apparently forgotten that the referee who enforces the law today is a notoriously card-digging maniac, and the enforcement is known for being harsh.
The reason why he didn't directly take out the card before was to take into account Atletico Madrid's situation, but now Atletico Madrid has no fear and doesn't take him seriously at all.
In this case, if Marenco does not act, he will be ashamed of his famous name in world football, and he will take three yellow cards in a row, Falcao, Suarez, Miranda, Marenco used three yellow cards to establish his majesty, and also calmed down the Atletico Madrid players.
However, when the Atletico players calmed down, they realized that there was not much time left in the first half, that is, almost 20 minutes after Real Madrid scored two goals, and their attention was almost not focused on the game.
Of course, although Atletico Madrid did not create any chances, Real Madrid failed to continue to extend the lead, Atletico Madrid's foul was indeed a bit brainless, but it also disrupted Real Madrid's rhythm, or it was also the reason why Simeone did not stand up to stop it in the first place.
In the end, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was still 2:0, and Real Madrid led Atletico Madrid by two goals.
However, a two-goal lead does not mean a final victory, especially in derby, and although Atletico have not beaten Real Madrid in 12 years, their quality is unquestionable.
Mourinho is well aware of this, and Mourinho also knows that the Atletico Madrid coach will never give up, as a sworn enemy in the same city, Mourinho must have an in-depth understanding of this manager who has brought his sworn enemy back to life.
'You have to be careful at the start of the second half against Atletico, it's true that we're two goals ahead but guys, don't forget that Atletico Madrid are one point ahead of us in the table this season, and they don't have to be worse at all,' Mourinho reminded.
This is not Mourinho's alarmism, but the real truth, Atletico Madrid's record is not only not worse than Real Madrid, if you don't count this game, they even play better than Real Madrid, otherwise it would not be them who lead in the standings.
Even this point was felt by the Real Madrid players when they came out of the dressing room, and when the players of both sides met again in the players' tunnel, the spirit of the Atletico Madrid players changed dramatically.
However, there is no shortage of surprises in football matches, and when Atletico are ready for the second half, Real Madrid are ready for a tough battle.
An accident completely and directly changed the direction of the game, the second half kick-off was at the feet of Real Madrid, since it knew that Atletico Madrid was going to fight back, Real Madrid naturally had to be careful.
Therefore, Real Madrid did not rush to attack after the opening, but Real Madrid was not in a hurry Atletico was in a hurry, seeing that Real Madrid did not attack according to the normal situation, Atletico Madrid immediately grabbed it, which is completely gambling, but there is only one way left for Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid has no choice.
Alonso played a back pass to Pepe in the face of two Atletico players, who played the ball to wide Coentrão when he was entangled by Falcao.
Coentrão found Di Maria with a long pass, and the Argentine was instantly caught by Juanfran and Koke, in which case Di Maria had to choose to pass back to Coentrão.
Then the ball came to the feet of Khedira, which was originally a very ordinary pass, but then Khedira's pass completely changed the situation on the field, and completely extinguished Atletico's hope of a comeback.
A through pass, a long-distance through pass, in Real Madrid's own half, Khedira did not send the ball to Alonso's feet as usual, but directly over the center circle and into the heart of Atletico Madrid.
Due to Atletico's strong grabbing, the back line naturally pushed forward, which invisibly pushed themselves to the brink of danger.
When Khedira delivered the pass, Lin Dong was the same as the last player in the Atletico backline, Godin, who was still the Atletico centre-back.
Godin's reaction was not unpleasant, and the moment he saw Khedira's pass, he immediately took a step sideways and pulled behind Lin Dong, wanting to resist Lin Dong and not give him a chance to turn around.
Strength, as the so-called one force down ten times, is also the impression that Lin Dong has always given people on the court, but this time, Lin Dong is just the opposite, and he breaks it by skill.
The ball was divided, Khedira's direct pass was very accurate, and he found Lin Dong accurately, but Lin Dong did not control the ball at all, facing the ball that rolled over, Lin Dong stretched out a kick, and then gently pulled.
The ball crossed over Godin's left side, and Lin Dong first made a feint, leaning to the left, making the illusion that he was also going to burst on the left side, and then instantly turned to the right and crossed from the right.
"God~~~ My eyes are not broken, the ball has been divided, Lin Dong ~~~ Lin Dong will actually divide the head" López roared exaggeratedly.
Exaggeration? Not to mention López, it's that everyone who watched the game wondered if there was something wrong with their eyes.
For a long time, Lin Dong's performance can be described in four words, simple and rough ~~~ not right ~~~ concise and efficient, Lin Dong's goals are almost always a touch of the ball, and the wonderful dribbling breakthrough has nothing to do with Lin Dong.
"No~~~Be careful~~~ Miranda, Atletico still have defenders, Miranda, when he saw Khedira's pass, Miranda began to retreat at the same time."
