Chapter 203: It's time to attack

Chapter 203 is about to attack

Real Madrid are still an attacking team at heart.

Although they had previously shrunk honestly at the back according to Zidane's instructions, the full-backs would not go up if they couldn't go up. Now once the manager gives the order to attack, they are out of the way and don't care about anything.

Because they know very well that if they don't score a goal in one go, things will turn against them more and more as the game progresses.

So Real Madrid's attack really has a bit of an indomitable meaning.

Simeone was sitting in a corner of the stands, and the camera couldn't find him after searching for a long time.

Juan Bistano, Simeone's assistant in charge of the match, has a headset in his ear.

"Juan, let them hold the kicks, let's fight back!"

"Understood, Diego!"

In fact, no one can quantify the impact of the manager's suspension on the team, but for directing the game, even sitting in the stands, Simeone can control the game remotely through modern devices such as walkie-talkies.

Therefore, Simeone's suspension has not had any impact on Atletico Madrid, at least for now.

Now that Real Madrid has pressed up, Atletico Madrid is naturally happy to retreat to defend and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack, which is the most economical way to play.

Of course, this kind of play also requires a certain amount of risk.

In the 36th minute, Real Madrid midfielder Kroos fired a powerful volley from the edge of the penalty area, and the football passed through the gap between the defenders, goalkeeper Oblak could not react, and the ball finally hit the post and bounced out, shocking Juan Bistano into a cold sweat.

The Real Madrid fans at the scene cheered loudly for the team's attack: "Attack, keep attacking, give them a little color and see!" ”

In the midst of such shouts, Real Madrid's attacking tempo is getting faster and faster.

Kroos and Modric, in the midfield two in a row, after attracting the attention of Atletico Madrid, Modric put the ball on the left wing, the football flew to the back of the box, Marcelo from the back crossed the Atletico Madrid defense, and then directly crossed, the Real Madrid players who grabbed the point in the middle included Benzema, Isco, Ronaldo. In the end, Cristiano Ronaldo's header went just over the crossbar.

'Real Madrid are getting more aggressive and it looks like they were hoping to score a goal before the break, but in fact they have already scored if they were lucky.

"But Real Madrid also needs to be careful of Atletico Madrid's counterattack, now Real Madrid has an attacking **, and the game is much better than before."

Real Madrid created more of a threat during this period, but neither side scored in the first half, and from a technical point of view, the two sides were almost evenly matched, with Real Madrid having a higher possession rate of 53 per cent against 47 per cent. Both sides had the same number of shots, with seven each, with Real Madrid having a slight advantage on target, with four more shots hitting the woodwork compared to Atletico Madrid's three.

Judging from the data, the two sides were evenly matched in the first half, and in the second half, it is difficult to say which direction the game will go.

At half-time, Zidane's emphasis was of course on attack, and the first thing he had to do was to unify the minds of the players.

Real Madrid's attack is mainly through two wings, and now that Bale is injured, Real Madrid is of course more dependent on the left side where Marcelo and Ronaldo are located, so this is also the main attacking direction of Real Madrid in the second half, and the right side is mainly used as a countermeasure direction.

On Atletico Madrid's side, according to Simeone's pre-match deployment, if neither side scores in the second half, Atletico Madrid will use the opening period of the second half to launch a wave of attacks.

Now Simeone can't get into the dressing room, and Juan Bistano, who works in his place, hasn't reversed the pre-match scheduled deployment.

At the beginning of the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

This time it was different from the first half, as soon as the two sides came up, they directly kicked away and started an offensive battle. Both sides will want to take advantage of the holes in the opposition back line and score first.

No matter who is on both sides, as long as they score a goal first, it is the other party who should be anxious.

For Atletico Madrid, as long as one goal is scored, even if Real Madrid scores two goals in a row to overtake the score, it is just a tie on aggregate.

For Real Madrid, as long as they score a goal and then keep the score of 1-0, it will be Atletico Madrid that will be eliminated!

Modric deducted Griezmann's harassment and did not continue to carry the ball forward, because he knew that in the midfield of Atletico Madrid, the real defensive force would definitely not be Griezmann, whether it was Gabi or Mario Suaris, or Koke and Raul Garcia have considerable defensive hardness, if he is too sticky in the midfield, if the opponent breaks the ball, he can pass the ball directly to Li Qingshan, so that Li Qingshan can get the opportunity to single out the central defender, and the threat to the goal is obvious.

Although Li Qingshan has been in La Liga for less than two seasons, Modric still knows this opponent very well, and in a one-on-one situation, with a strong body and skillful center forward skills, it is almost difficult for a central defender to withstand Li Qingshan's impact one-on-one.

Luka Modric distributed the ball to Isco in front of him, who was very skilful in dribbling, deftly evading Siqueira's deft and playing the ball to Kroos in the middle of the pitch after dodging the gap.

Kroos picked up the ball in the middle and when he received it, he wanted to pass a penetrating through ball, but Atletico Madrid's defence was very well organised and did not show any obvious gaps.

Not only that, but Atletico Madrid's midfielders are also aggressively pressing for players with the ball.

Kroos was in control of the ball, and as soon as he watched it, he immediately came under tremendous pressure, with Gabi and Raul Garcia snatching Kroos one after the other.

In order to protect the football, Kroos had to turn around and protect the football in front of him, but when he turned around, the football was protected, but he also lost the opportunity to pass forward. In desperation, he had to pass the ball back to Casemiro's feet.

Before Casemiro could catch the ball, Koke and Griezmann posted left and right. Casemiro is a good defensive player in midfield, and when the team is on the defensive, he picks and intercepts well, but it is a little more difficult for him to control the ball calmly in the face of opposition pressing.

Under the left and right of Koke and Griezmann, Casemiro's ball was broken!

Atletico Madrid fights back on the spot!
