Chapter 127: Focus Battle

By the time the players from both sides were already lined up in the tunnel, the fans at the Bernabeu were already making a big noise.

Li Qingshan stood at the end of the line, and when he appeared on the turf of the Bernabeu Stadium with the team, the fans at the scene let out a huge cheer.

Of course, the sound was not to greet him, but to the cheers of the live DJ, and the fans in front of the stadium welcomed the Real Madrid players.

Li Qingshan looked left and right at the stands of the full Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and suddenly smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Now that the two sides were still walking into the stadium and preparing to disperse to both sides, Cork suddenly heard Li Qingshan's laughter.

Li Qingshan pointed to the Real Madrid fans in the stands with a wicked smile and said: "You said that when we score a goal later, these fans who are welcoming them will wave white handkerchiefs again." ”

Koke clearly understood what Li Qingshan was teasing, and the two Atletico Madrid giants looked at each other and smiled........

..........

Zidane, who was wearing a suit, stood on the sidelines, very eye-catching - his shiny brain door is the logo of Zidane, which looks even more dazzling against the backdrop of the live lights..........

Zidane's eyes lit up, and he faced the camera facing him with a confident smile. Judging from his appearance, he is still the Qi Zu who once conquered the world.

But in fact, the pressure in his heart is very great now. The away draw against Real Sociedad allowed Real Madrid to immediately distance themselves from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and was the first to be pulled away by half a body in the long-distance run of the La Liga title. Of course, the season is still quite long, and Real Madrid will not be able to conclude that they have lost their title hopes just because of a two-point difference. But then Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid at home.

If you lose this game, the difference of two points will become five points in no time! In an environment like La Liga, it's already dangerous to catch up with a five-point gap.

Barcelona have been in excellent form since the start of the season, so if Real Madrid fall out at the start of the season, it will still have a very big impact on the title race.

As for Zidane himself, he also needs to show some results to prove that he is capable of sitting in Real Madrid's position again. The draw in his last game has left him in doubt, and he desperately needs a weighty win to prove himself.

Therefore, this is a game that Real Madrid cannot afford to lose! This is also a game that Zidane cannot afford to lose!

............

However, the content of the game made Zidane seem a little anxious, and in less than ten minutes of the game, he had already come from the dugout to the sidelines several times, and sat back on the dugout from the sidelines. Compared with Simeone, who sat firmly on the Diaoyutai on the other side, rookie coach Zidane's mentality control was inferior.

In fact, the situation on the field is not too bad for Real Madrid. The two teams exchanged the ball frequently in midfield, and the two sides were in a scorching battle for control of the midfield, and both teams were probably affected by the national team break, with players generally out of form and various mistakes occurring.

In the seventh minute, Atletico Madrid's midfielder broke the ball, Saul received the ball and tried to pass forward, but he kicked it back to Casemiro's feet.

A misplaced pass in midfield gave Real Madrid the chance to launch a quick counter-attack on the spot, but Casemiro was a little rough in handling the ball, and he played a long ball directly to the wing, trying to find Bale, who was cutting forward on the wing, only to pass the ball to Atletico Madrid's central defender Miranda. Under the mistake of entering and leaving, the counterattack of both sides was not successful, but the data of two mistakes was brushed.

After once again getting up and walking to the sidelines, Zidane finally spotted the difference between his opponent Simeone and him. Zidane quickly understood the mistake he had made, and his frequent movements of getting up gave the players on the field bad psychological hints, which made the Real Madrid players on the field also anxious. As a legendary player, his ability to correct mistakes is very strong, he simply stood on the sidelines and did not leave, Zidane standing on the sidelines with pockets full of aura, just like the leader of the stadium back then, born with a big brother style.

Seeing the eldest brother so calm on the sidelines, Real Madrid's players also quieted down, and under the combing of Kroos and Modric in the midfield, Real Madrid slowed down the rhythm.

Simeone glanced at Zidane and sighed in his heart, the other party's learning speed is really fast, and it seems that world football will soon welcome the birth of an excellent head coach. So he also went to the sidelines to put the Atletico players at ease.

Simeone and Zinedine Zidane have very different temperaments, but both are the kind of people with natural leadership qualities that they bring to the players a sense of psychological stability.

..........

At the beginning, Atletico Madrid also wanted to disrupt the rhythm of Real Madrid and win with chaos. But now Real Madrid are no longer flustered, and the Atletico Madrid players have quickly changed their strategy.

In terms of passing control and creativity in midfield, Atletico Madrid is inferior to Real Madrid. However, in terms of the hardness of the midfield, Atletico have a big advantage.

Five Atletico midfielders surrounded Real Madrid in midfield, making it difficult for Real Madrid to organise their attacks. When the ball is broken, a long pass immediately finds Li Qingshan, and Li Qingshan acts as a bridgehead and offensive fulcrum in the front court.

In the twelfth minute, the first shot of the game finally appeared.

After a Real Madrid attack ended with a long pass out of the bottom line, Atletico Madrid quickly opened the goal, Li Qingshan retreated to the outside of the penalty area to receive a pass from his teammates forward, and after feeling a little defensive pressure from Varane, he pressed Varanela and turned the ball, and then shot directly before other Real Madrid players came up to help defend!

Casillas made a save to get the ball back into the box and was cleared by Casemiro who had returned to the box.

"Li Qingshan's shot! Forced Casillas to save the ball and get rid of it, but it was unfortunately cleared by Casemiro. It was the first shot of the game and the first shot from inside the frame! Duan Xuan said excitedly.

Even if they don't press down by a big margin, Atletico Madrid can still rely on Li Qingshan's individual ability to create a threat, and so far in the game, Atletico Madrid look like the players are in better shape than Real Madrid.

Because it was an away game, Atletico Madrid did not press too much and invested too many people in the attacking end, although they won 3-0 against Real Madrid in the Super Cup, but they still looked very cautious when they came to this stadium again, and did not dare to be careless.

No matter what team it is, when facing super players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale, it will definitely not dare to take it lightly. You may not be able to concede many chances for the entire game, but a single flash of star can cost you all your effort.

Sure enough, Li Qingshan's shot did not score, but gave Real Madrid a chance to counterattack.

Bale on the wing chased in the direction of Casemiro's clearance, and in the face of Siqueira, who stepped forward to defend, Bale did not stop the ball, but directly padd his right foot, and then accelerated to run forward.

With his explosive power and explosive speed, it was too late for Siqueira to foul, and Bale caught up with the ball on the left side of the penalty line and glanced at the situation on the other side of the box.

The sight he saw made goalkeeper Moya wary and distracted from Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in the box.

However, Bale didn't think about passing the ball at all, he caught up with the ball and shot directly with his left foot!

"Bale................." In the commentator's elongated roar, the football turned into a meteor and shot into the net!

"Be careful!" Duan Xuan shouted.........

"The ball is in!!"

"Bale, he's got the lead for Real Madrid!"

The cheers at the Bernabeu culminated with Bale's shot.
