No. 1207: Evenly matched, stalemate!
Chen Fan led the football to the Atletico penalty area, and the Atletico Madrid defense was in chaos, some people wanted to block, and some people wanted to wrap up......
"Smack! ……”
Chen Fan found that Ronaldo's position was better than his own, and immediately crossed to the right side.
The atmosphere at the Stadium of Light was at its peak, and the local fans were very hopeful that Cristiano Ronaldo would score in front of them.
On the field, after Ronaldo got the ball, he quickly flicked to the left, and when the Atletico Madrid defenders did not make up for the defense, he raised his left foot and shot hard!
The ball blasted like a cannonball towards the top left corner of the goal!
The air at the Stadium of Light is tense to the extreme, could it be that the game has just begun, and Real Madrid is about to complete the lightning goal?
Simeone, who was standing in the command area, frowned, and Carlo Ancelotti, who was sitting on the bench, stared closely at the Atletico goal, and the Italian's eyes were full of anticipation......
On the pitch, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois jumped to his feet and flew towards the football!
The next moment, the ball flew past his fingertips and then flew off the pitch against the crossbar!
"Boom! ……”
The Stadium of Light resounded with a loud cry of regret, followed by thunderous applause.
Ronaldo, who missed the opportunity to score, spat hard at the turf in annoyance, and then gave Chen Fan a thumbs up.
Shocked into a cold sweat, Simeone yelled at his own defense, damn it, if Ronaldo hadn't put the anti-aircraft gun, the ball would have been in danger......
When the game restarted, Atletico strengthened their defense against Chen Fan, and whenever he got the ball, they never gave him a chance to turn around.
Chen Fan felt very uncomfortable when he couldn't turn around and didn't break through, but his mentality didn't change, and this situation became more and more frequent as he became famous.
The Madrid derby was a fierce scramble, and in the 18th minute of the first half, Atletico Madrid found a good chance to open the scoring, Thiago played a clever cross from the wing, and the ball went through two Real Madrid players to the feet of Villa in the box.
After Villa got the ball, he shook off Pepe's defense and raised his right foot to shoot hard!
The soccer ball is over the crossbar!
Five minutes later, Real Madrid launched an attack from the left, Marcelo received a pass from Chen Fan on the side and crossed, Benzema failed to reach the football under the interference of the opposing defenders, and Ronaldo at the back point raised his right foot to push the shot!
The soccer ball is headed towards the right post of the goal!
The next moment, the football grazed the post and flew out of the bottom line, and Ronaldo once again missed a good opportunity to score.
In the 31st minute of the first half, Atletico Madrid stole the football through the midfield's pressing, and then immediately launched an attack.
Mario. Suarez crossed diagonally in the hinterland, the ball flew between Ramos and Varane, Villa flew forward and raised his right foot to shoot straight at goal!
Pepe's center of gravity dropped, and he used his legs to block the football from the bottom line!
The defensive quality of both sides was very high and they didn't give the opposition the chance to score.
For the rest of the first half, both sides focused more defensively, and whenever Real Madrid wanted to launch a quick counter-attack at the back, Atletico's frontcourt players immediately resorted to foul tactics to disrupt.
Without a quick counter-attack, Real Madrid simply could not threaten Atletico's goal.
After two minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and neither side could break the deadlock and drew 0-0.
The Sky Sports commentator summed up the first half and looked ahead to the second: "After Bale's move to Real Madrid last summer, people were curious about how Carlo Ancelotti was going to line up.
Then the mystery was slowly solved, Bale usually appeared on the pitch as a right winger, and when he came on, Ronaldo switched to central striker, with Benzema on the bench.
It was the first time that four men had started at the same time like tonight, and when everyone saw the starting line-up, everyone wondered, how will Carlo Ancelotti line up?
As the game progressed, we found Bale standing behind Benzema as a shadow striker.
It was clear that Bale couldn't play to his speed advantage in the middle, so he was the worst of the four in the first half, and Carlo Ancelotti's line-up was not very successful.
Let's take a look at the rest of the first half, where neither side created many chances, with Atletico frequently using tactical fouls to break up Real Madrid's quick counter-attacks.
The referee's penalty scale is relatively large, and only showed a yellow card to Atletico Madrid, which is very unfavorable to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's attacking situation did not change much with Carlo Ancelotti's arrival, and they usually used the left flank to attack, with Marcelo crossing and Karim Benzema and Ronaldo cutting in the middle.
But Atletico did a very good job defending in the middle and didn't give Real Madrid too many chances, and the only two good chances, Ronaldo shot high.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid did not create many absolute chances, and Real Madrid's defense was still trustworthy.
Real Madrid had to break the deadlock on the pitch, either through set-pieces or by making quick counter-attacks faster.
Real Madrid have to find a way to create a free-kick opportunity in front of the penalty area, Chen can use that opportunity to score, and of course, they can also take advantage of corner kick opportunities, Real Madrid have several headers!
As for making the quick counterattack faster, it is necessary to reduce the chance of letting Isco get the ball, once he gets the ball, Real Madrid's rhythm slows down all of a sudden!
Isco loves dribbling so much!
In order to break the deadlock on the field, Atletico Madrid still needs to strengthen the tackle in the midfield, launch a quick counterattack after the successful tackle, and use speed to break down Real Madrid's defense.
When counterattacking, they must seize Marcelo's penchant for assists and launch from the right side, which will definitely have a good effect! ”
……
After a fifteen-minute half-time break, the players from both sides returned to the pitch and the second half of the showdown began!
Atletico Madrid, who took the lead in serving, launched an attack on Real Madrid, and Real Madrid defended layer by layer, and fought and retreated.
In the third minute of the second half, Ada. Turan forced his foot in front of the penalty area and the ball was blocked by Ramos with his body.
Pepe flew forward to take control of the ball, and then immediately made a through ball to the feet of Isco.
It was definitely a great opportunity for a quick counter-attack, but instead of moving the ball to the striker's feet in the first place, Isco drove forward with the ball himself.
Atletico players slowed Isco's dribbling while quickly returning to the defence, and by the time the ball reached Bale, Atletico's defence had been restructured.
Isco turned a quick counterattack into a positional attack!
In the seventh minute of the second half, the same scene was repeated again, much to the annoyance of the Real Madrid fans, who booed him loudly every time he did not play the ball in the first place.
Some fans even scolded: "Isco is the undercover agent sent to Real Madrid by Atletico Madrid!" ”
The commentator of France Télévisiono 2 said loudly: "The scene is deadlocked, both sides need players to step up!" ”
In the twenty-first minute of the second half, Real Madrid pressed the attack, Marcelo made an inverted triangle pass on the side, and Chen Fan, who was ambushed in the corner of the penalty area, took the ball and threw off Ada. Turan's defense, raise his right foot and force a shot!
"Bang! ……”
The football was blocked by Felipe in the penalty area, Miranda took two steps forward alertly, and a big foot launched a long pass to quickly counterattack!
