Chapter 217 Key Players
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho sat on the bench and watched the game seriously. Several cameras pointed at him. He didn't even look up, and his expression didn't change. Instead, he became more serious.
Mourinho admits he knows Wansheng very well.
In the three seasons coached in England and the last season in Real Madrid, Wansheng was Mourinho's direct opponent for four seasons.
Mourinho has been losing in these many games, and at the same time, he has become more aware of Wansheng.
In Mourinho's eyes, Wansheng is the same type of coach as himself, advocating 'victory football'. Mourinho is reluctant to admit his own excellence, but he can't help but resign.
But no coach, no team, has ever said a 'definite win'.
Mourinho will not be reconciled to failure. He is a successful manager. Except for the three seasons in the Premier League, he has achieved success in Porto and Inter Milan.
Now I come to Spain and I meet Wansheng again. The team led by the two are still rivals in the same city, and they are even more direct opponents. Many media will compare the two, and Mourinho is often at a disadvantage because ' He has never beat Wansheng', Mourinho is bitter about this, he is reluctant to always be under the pressure of others, so this game, Mourinho is determined to win.
Real Madrid prepared a lot for the game, and Mourinho also delved into Atletico Madrid.
Mourinho then laid out his tactics, based on his defence, in order to 'be at least unbeaten' against Atlético Madrid.
But the current game seems to prove one thing - he doesn't seem to know Wansheng as well as he thought.
Mourinho guessed the tactics and even the formation used by Wansheng correctly. Atletico Madrid's 433 offensive football showed quite strong offensiveness.
Therefore, Mourinho asked Real Madrid to choose a defensive counterattack, but what he did not expect was that the opponent had already prepared for this and used such a simple play method-high hanging in the penalty area and heading for the top.
It's like traditional 'soccer'.
Will Atlético de Madrid play 'English football'? If it was before, Mourinho would definitely feel funny, but now he can't laugh anymore. He knows that he and Wansheng are at a disadvantage again in the tactical confrontation.
Now Real Madrid's defense is very solid, and there is no doubt that Atletico Madrid's tactical choice is the most direct and correct. More importantly, Atletico Madrid has not made tactical adjustments, that is to say, they have thought of doing this with Real Madrid before the game to fight.
"That young man knew before the game that I would play like this?" Mourinho only smiled bitterly when he thought about it, but he still maintained a serious expression.
Will Atletico Madrid's style of play work?
This is the key.
Many media commentators are also discussing, but whether it is the media, or the coaches and fans of both sides, they can only watch the game and the performance of the players of the two teams.
No one else can do anything right now.

On the field of play, the closely watched J-Rodriguez was not so active, perhaps due to the great limitation of Real Madrid's defense. At least so far, J-Rodriguez has not performed very well.
In Atlético de Madrid's squad, there is one player who is the most eye-catching, and that is striker Klose.
In the Atlético de Madrid squad, it is estimated that the least conspicuous and one of the biggest stars is Klose. After joining Atlético de Madrid, Klose is positioned as a 'striker', and it is almost impossible for him to play the main force, but Started in such an important game.
Why is Klose playing?
Many people didn't understand it before, but now they all understand that Klose played to grab some points!
Atlético de Madrid's two flanks, including the midfielder, are constantly hoisting the ball into the penalty area, allowing players in the penalty area to grab points. As a central striker and a player in the front of the team, Klose's chance is Quite a lot.
For more than a season, many fans even ignored Klose. Last season, there was Diego Forlan who performed better in the same position last season. He is also a veteran, and his performance is better than Klose. This season Both Aguero and Forlan have left, and Atletico Madrid has added Colombian striker Falcao. The fans are all focused on the main battle between Falcao and Diego Costa. As for Klose... It is estimated that next summer His contract expires and he is leaving, right?
But now Klose has shown dominance in the penalty area.
Klose is already old, really old, he is old, his physical fitness can't keep up, but he is such a German veteran, facing Real Madrid's defense line, facing the heatstroke of Pepe and Carvalho, but a little bit. Neither are strong.
He is always making threats again and again!
Because of Klose's performance, Real Madrid's goal has been in continuous crisis. Many Real Madrid fans are worried. They are worried that their own goal will be broken by Klose in the blink of an eye.
Klose became the most active person in the audience.
In the past 25 minutes, Klose had 4 shots, 3 of which were headers, threatening the goal twice, and once the football hit the post.
"Klose! Klose! He's so good, you can't see it at all, he's a veteran who has reached the retirement stage! He's better than many stars who are in their prime!"
"On the field, there are Ronaldo, Benzema, Di Maria, Diego Costa, Ozil, but Klose is the most active and outstanding one. It is unimaginable to see Klose. Ze's state, we don't think there is any problem with him participating in the next World Cup! Many people think that Klose is about to retire, but looking at it now, the German veteran is estimated to have a few more years to play!"
Klose's excellent performance made Real Madrid players have to be more cautious about his defense. Whenever the football flew over, there were always two or three players defending together.
In the face of this kind of defense, Klose has nothing to do no matter how miraculous it is.
But... Klose is not fighting alone!
Atlético de Madrid's 433 formation is not a striker. Left and right strikers Diego Costa and Ozil are also quite strong players who can rely on their individual abilities to create a threat to Real Madrid's goal.
This time, Diego Costa ran into the penalty area!
Atletico Madrid with Kevin De Bruyne is very flexible on the right. In the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans, Kevin De Bruyne is Atletico's 'David Beckham', and he is on the right. , can always play a wonderful long pass, Kevin De Bruyne's play can also make Diego Costa more free in front, he can run to the penalty area at will without worrying about the lack of 'ammunition' behind him.
Now the question is left to Real Madrid: Should Diego Costa be serious about defending?
The answer, without a doubt.
In the past 12 La Liga games, Diego Costa has scored 7 goals and is the most efficient player in the Atlético de Madrid. In everyone's eyes, Diego Costa is undoubtedly the most efficient at Atlético de Madrid. The most dangerous player, so when Diego Costa enters the box, Real Madrid have to separate people to defend, and at least one, even two, they have to do it, otherwise Diego Costa is very May rely on their own ability to directly create threats.
When Diego Costa stepped forward, Carvalho rushed to the past to defend. He and Kaka were one after the other, and the restrictions on Diego Costa were still very strict.
But Diego Costa has done the job!
He succeeded in attracting the opponent's defense!
In the middle of Atlético de Madrid, J-Rodriguez has already got rid of Xavi-Alonso. His personal breakthrough is very exciting, and many Atlético de Madrid are shouting and cheering, but that is not the most critical, when J-Rodri After Gus broke through Alonso, he glanced up at the penalty area, and immediately kicked up to pass a high ball.
The football crossed an arc in the air, and even the goalkeeper Casillas thought it was a shot, but the ball landed on Klose's head.
Pepe's defense of aerial balls has always been excellent. His jumping ability is very good and his body is very strong. Pepe brought a lot of trouble to Klose before, but this time, Klose has the best position. Forced Pepe to jump up, facing the goal in the air.
Everyone thought that Klose was going to head the ball, but he pointed the ball towards the left-back!
On that side is Ozil!
————
All eyes are on the ball, cameras are pointed at the Real Madrid goal.
At the moment Klose passed the ball, Mourinho had already stood up, and Wan Sheng had already walked to the sidelines, he secretly clenched his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
Football flew to the left!
That way to keep up with an Atletico Madrid player, it is Ozil!
"Ozil! Ozil—"
The match commentator shouted desperately. At that moment, the hearts of all Real Madrid fans lifted up, while Atletico Madrid fans covered their mouths and waited for the next moment.
The football fell from the air, and Ozil waved his left foot to meet the ball!
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Ozil's instep was centered under the ball.
The football deformed and slammed into the goal!
Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas has been standing cautiously. He is watching the players and the football carefully. When he sees Ozil swinging his foot, he knows the danger, because the position of the shot is too close for him to have time. Lo.
Casillas is very experienced. He knows that this kind of ball, like a penalty kick, has to be saved first, so the moment Ozil shot, he went straight to the near corner.
But……
The direction of the football is the far corner!
When he was in the air, Casillas had only one thought in his mind, that is, expecting the football to fly out of the post, but at the moment of landing, he saw the football hit the post, and then bounced - shot - into the net.
"MD!"
With Casillas' sigh, the Bernabeu stadium was immediately filled with cheers from Atlético de Madrid fans.
"The ball is in--!!"
"0 to 1! Atlético de Madrid at the Bernabeu, the first to break the gate of Real Madrid and lead!"
"It was the German star Ozil who scored!"
