Chapter Forty-Seven Battle
During half-time, the fans in the audience finished their business and returned to their seats to talk about the game with those around them.
The best player in the first half was undoubtedly Ozil, so when many Atletico Madrid fans talk about the game, they will talk about Ozil. They are happy for the team to have such a good player. Excited to be ahead of Real Madrid.
It's been too long for Atletico Madrid to win the Madrid derby!
It's been too long!
Some young fans in their teens and twenties have not seen Atletico Madrid win since they started watching the game, and those old fans need to adjust their memory to ten years ago when they recall the last victory.
What a distant memory!
So at half-time, every Atlético de Madrid fan was excited because Atlético de Madrid were the leading side and they were looking forward to the victory over Real Madrid.
Real Madrid fans have a different attitude. Some fans are dismissive of the game. They believe that Real Madrid is one goal behind, and it will not necessarily lose. Some fans think that Real Madrid will definitely surpass the score, while some pessimistic fans, Worrying about Real Madrid, what if... just in case... Real Madrid lose the game?
Many media are also talking about the game. Spain's national sports TV invited Hierro as a guest to evaluate the score with the commentator.
Hierro is a former Real Madrid central defender and captain. He represented Real Madrid more than 600 times and scored 127 goals for Real Madrid, 102 goals in the league, and 29 goals for the Spanish national team, which is the first time in the history of the national team. 3 shooters.
As a central defender, he can score so many goals, the glory of Hierro's career is evident.
These have established Hierro's dominance in Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, and he is undoubtedly a great player.
In this game, Hierro came to the TV station as a guest to explain the game with Fernandos Sanchez-Bob. Hierro is a famous Real Madrid legend, but he is often very neutral as a guest.
In response to the situation in the first half, Hierro said, "In the first half, both teams played well, Real Madrid's attack was very strong, but at the same time they still focused on defense, which may be Mourinho's style. "
"However, Real Madrid made some mistakes in defense, Atletico Madrid had good luck, they led by a goal, but, after a 15-minute break, I believe Real Madrid will adjust and it will not be difficult for them to tie the score in the second half... …”
Fernandos Sanchez-Bob asked, "So, Mr Hierro, can you predict the final score?"
Hierro thought for a while and said, "At present, Real Madrid is one goal behind, and it is unlikely that they want to overtake. Atletico Madrid's defense is doing a good job. Atletico Madrid is also difficult to score in the second half. If I say it, I think it is 2-2, Real Madrid can tie the score, and it is difficult for Atletico Madrid to score again..."
Judging from Hierro's prediction, his view is still relatively neutral.
The views of other Spanish media and radio stations are similar. They all feel that Real Madrid performed well in this game. Even if they are temporarily behind, they still have great hope of recovering.
But Chinese fans see it differently.
Before the start of the game, there were still many fans who thought that Real Madrid would win, but at the end of the half, most people changed their views because Atletico Madrid took the lead!
Most Chinese fans originally supported Atlético Madrid, and now seeing Real Madrid fall behind, they are even more confident in Atlético de Madrid.
"Half time, 1-2, Real Madrid behind!"
"This is the team coached by Wan Sheng! Even Atletico Madrid can beat Real Madrid!"
"Now 1-2, Real Madrid don't even think about winning in the second half!"
"Atletico Madrid really gives the Chinese a face!"
"..."
The support of Wansheng by Chinese fans is undoubtedly very high, but Central TV, which has always reported the game from a neutral angle, did not express any opinion. In fact, the commentator Liu Jianhong could not understand the game.
Real Madrid played well in the first half, but they fell behind.
So what will be the end result?
Central TV must not jump to conclusions, so Liu Jianhong simply didn't say anything, just analyzed the situation of the two teams, "For Atlético Madrid, how to defend the game is the key..."
"For Real Madrid, all they desperately need to do is score goals..."
To put it bluntly, this is complete nonsense.
The fans in front of the TV were drowsy, and many of them simply went to the live broadcast of Xinlang. Although there was some delay in the live broadcast, the key point was that the guest of Xinlang was Huang Jianxiang... Excited character!
————
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the second half was about to begin.
The two teams have returned to the field, and the coaches of the two teams have also walked to their respective coaching seats.
Real Madrid coach Mourinho had a solemn expression. After he sat on the bench, he watched the game with a serious face.
During the halftime break, everything that needs to be explained has already been explained. Now the only thing he can do is to watch the team play here. Whether or not he can win depends on the players on the field and some luck.
Mourinho didn't like the feeling of being out of control, but there was nothing he could do in this one.
He couldn't help but look to the other side.
The Chinese was also sitting there watching the game, but in comparison, the other side was smiling and talking to the assistant coach next to him.
Mourinho squinted slightly and shook his head.
Many people didn't notice a move, and that was... Wan Sheng returned to the coaching bench.
No one else understood the meaning of this action.
Wan Sheng has a habit. When he is not sure about the game, he will stand on the sidelines. Even if it is a game, he will always stand there. On the contrary, if he is very sure of winning the game, he will sit with the coach. seat.
Now that Wansheng has returned to the coaching bench, it actually explains something.
The second half of the game started.
No matter what Mourinho did at half-time or what Real Madrid's players thought about the game, one thing was for sure - Real Madrid desperately needed an equaliser!
There are only wins and losses.
Real Madrid are one goal behind, they can't equalise, at the end of the day they will lose the game and Atlético de Madrid will emerge victorious.
No team wants to lose, no player wants to lose, so Real Madrid launched a fierce attack on the Atlético de Madrid half at the beginning of the game!
They attacked again and again, all trying to get the ball into the goal quickly, but after a few waves, they were still disappointed because they were stubbornly blocked by Atletico Madrid's defense.
Wansheng reminded the players to pay attention to their defense during the intermission. Like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid also very much hope to win, and even their willingness to win is even more fierce - Atletico Madrid has not won the Madrid derby in ten years!
As long as they can win, each of them will be heroes.
So everyone in the team retreated to participate in the defense, and they formed a tight line of defense that would not give the opponent any chance!
The two teams faced off against each other, making the game even more intense.
Conflicts are increasing and the derby has a derby look.
The referee finally became the protagonist of the game, but perhaps he didn't want that. He blew the whistle to suspend the game a few times, and made two controversial penalties, which resulted in the booing of many fans in the stands.
Enforcement of the Madrid derby is obviously not a small pressure.
During the period, Atlético de Madrid also carried out several counter-attacks, but the counter-attack was different from the first half, and there were not many players who attacked. They really played a defensive "counter-attack", and the counter-attack mainly relied on the ability of the players in the frontcourt.
At the start of the second half, Wansheng made two substitutions.
The first person to be substituted was Diego Costa, perhaps because he wasn't quite used to the wing-back position. Costa didn't perform well in the first half, so Wansheng replaced Reyes on the court.
Reyes is fast, and his dribbling can help the team counterattack.
Diego Costa was a little disappointed when he came off the court, and Wansheng gave him a hug to soothe the player's mood.
A few minutes later, Wansheng replaced Diego Forlan.
In the first half, Forlan scored a goal and performed well, but Forlan is a bit old after all, especially in such a high-intensity confrontation and running game, his physical energy is quickly exhausted. In the second half, the team The main thing is to defend, and it is difficult for Fran to do anything on the counterattack, so Wansheng replaced Fran.
Wansheng hesitated when replacing Fran.
He glanced at the bench and finally did not choose Klose, because Klose, like Forlan, belongs to the kind of players who score goals in the frontcourt. , playing hard to help the team anything.
In the end, Wansheng chose the young Isco.
Isco has an advantage, that is, his speed and explosiveness are very good, and he also has outstanding foot skills. Wansheng hopes that Isco will play and help the team's counterattack.
Isco's appearance brought some controversy, mainly because he was too young.
"If Atlético Madrid were to make a change, it would be better to put in a defender, Isco is too young, he's only 18..."
Hierro commented.
If Wansheng knew Hierro's statement, he would definitely laugh with disdain. In fact, he also knew that Isco was not suitable for playing, but Isco can also participate in defense and counterattack quickly. He must be better than Klose. Mainly, the team's 'B-TF' system, the layout of the rear defense is very stable, and it is difficult to insert one more defender player into the team. The players must be in the midfield and there are only a few players on the bench, so he chose Isco.
Wansheng did not have high hopes for Isco's appearance. Isco may have a great future, but he is still too young.
18 year old player!
Even C-Ronaldo, when he was 18 years old, he just joined Manchester United. At that time, C-Ronaldo's 'fancy football' attracted a lot of criticism from the media. C-Ronaldo played 28 times in all competitions that season. It can be said that it has not become an absolute. main force.
This is also the result of Ferguson's intention to cultivate him.
Isco was younger than C-Ronaldo at the time, and even if he didn't do well in the Madrid derby, is it any wonder?
"It's like training new players."
Wansheng felt indifferent.
As long as Isco has no major mistakes, it is always more useful than Klose.
Although Reyes and Isco were replaced, Atletico Madrid did not threaten to counterattack for a long time.
Reyes performed well, but he dribbled the ball to the front twice, failed to get support, and was eventually stolen by the opponent, and once he passed the ball to the middle, but unfortunately Aguero failed to receive the ball.
Isco's performance seemed to be a little worse, his feet were a bit garish, and he received the ball twice and was snatched twice.
Central TV commentator Liu Jianhong couldn't help but comment, "The player who played in the second half, his full name is Francisco-Roman-Aracon-Suarez, he is only 18 years old, his nickname is Isco, Wansheng replaced him The appearance is probably to use the competition to train newcomers. But so far, he has only dribbled the ball twice, which has also ruined Atlético Madrid's two counterattack opportunities. He's still too young to do it alone..."
On the contrary, Wan Sheng did not think so.
Wan Sheng felt that Isco's performance was good enough. First of all, as an 18-year-old young player with little fame, it was not bad to play nervously in the Madrid derby. He dared to face Carvalho's defensive dribbling and showed Out of their own foot technology, this is already quite good.
Likewise, Reyes had his turnovers, and he failed several times with the ball.
Why does the media not pick on Reyes, but instead talk about Isco? Because Isco is very young, he has become the focus of the media, and everyone knows that Reyes' ability will be classified as 'no teammate support' even if he fails, but in fact, Isco also has no teammate support. Alone against the Real Madrid defense.
Think of an 18-year-old who faced Real Madrid's defense alone, but still behaved calmly and dribbled the ball by himself. Isco has shown the potential to become a star.
Some football professionals have also seen something.
Like Mourinho.
Mourinho watched Isco's two performances and couldn't help but grinned and said, "Another genius..."
He admired Wan Sheng's vision immensely.
But Mourinho doesn’t ‘envy’ anything. He only needs to use stars, and he doesn’t have to cultivate talents himself. After all, every Real Madrid player can be said to be a ‘one-in-a-million talent’ when he is young.
Hierro is one too.
Just now, Hierro was still saying 'it's better to replace the defender than to replace Isco', when Isco performed well twice, Hierro said, "This young man is worth training, maybe he will be the future. An important member of the Spanish team."
But no matter what the media and football professionals say, Isco is only 18 years old after all. He is not very famous, and he was cut off twice with the ball. He is far from the protagonist of the game.
For Real Madrid, the most threatening is their 'star' C-Ronaldo.
In Real Madrid's offensive, C-Ronaldo kept looking for opportunities, took the ball several times in a row and forcibly broke through, leaving Atlético Madrid's defense no good way.
A superstar like C-Ronaldo cannot be defended by a single player.
But Atletico Madrid's defense line is also very stable, even if C-Ronaldo forcibly breaks through, it is difficult to find opportunities in front.
After Atlético de Madrid's counterattack, Reyes performed brilliantly twice, allowing Atlético de Madrid to counterattack effectively.
For the first time, Reyes broke through Xavi Alonso, kicking directly 30 meters from the goal, threatening Real Madrid's goal.
The second time Reyes swayed away from Carvalho and wanted to pass the ball back to Ozil, but unfortunately the "savage" Portuguese central defender directly put him on the ground.
Reyes created a very good free-kick opportunity, but unfortunately Atletico Madrid does not have a very good free-kick taker, Maurice, Ozil and Aguero have good footwork.
In the 'set-ball attribute evaluation', Ozil's 'set-ball evaluation' is the highest, reaching '93'.
Maurice and Aguero are slightly worse, they are '90' and '89' respectively. The three values sound good, but in fact, there are some 'false values of attributes' in the evaluation. For example, Maurice, no The coach skill bonus of the football training master system, his free kick ability is only around 86. If he is a player who is good at free kicks, it is okay to say, but Morris rarely kicks free kicks, leaving a false value of '4' points , he can play a '2' point effect is not bad.
So in comparison, Morris is not even as good as Aguero.
Aguero and Ozil were not very good at the position of Reyes to create a free kick. The last few people discussed it, and Aguero took the penalty. In the end, the Argentine boy put the ball directly to the bottom line.
Looking at the ball, Wan Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. He 'missed' Ivan Kru.
If Ivan Crewe is in the team, such a team has a 50% chance of scoring. It is impossible for Aguero to directly kick a plane and kick the ball out of bounds.
It's no different than wasting an opportunity.
"Perhaps, it's time to train a free kicker?" Wan Sheng thought unconsciously.
Ivan Crewe can be said to be cultivated by him. At the beginning, Ivan Crew's free kick ability was not very high, and there is still a gap between Maurice and Maurice now, so if the training is targeted Players such as Guero and Ozil have the ability to take free kicks. They don’t need much effort, but they will have high returns.
While Wansheng was thinking, the game continued.
Atletico Madrid had several counterattacks, but the overall threat was not great. Real Madrid continued to attack, which made Atletico Madrid's goal a little crisis. As time passed, Real Madrid did not slow down the rhythm of the attack, but instead attacked more and more fiercely.
In the ten minutes of strength, C-Ronaldo and Di Maria had two shots, and the striker Higuain also had one, but Atletico Madrid's defense was very tight, and their shots were not in key positions, except for Dialia's one shot. Except for one threat, the others did not pose much threat.
Seeing that Real Madrid could not equalize the score, Real Madrid fans also began to worry about the team.
Real Madrid fans have always been an impatient bunch. Many Real Madrid fans want to see the team sweep the opponent. When the team encounters a little obstacle, they can easily lose patience.
Perhaps, this has something to do with Real Madrid's glorious history and gorgeous lineup.
Real Madrid's glorious history goes without saying.
In terms of lineup, Real Madrid in the early 21st century was known as the 'galactic battleship'. With all the stars of the century, they almost swept Europe. He came back to power and started the 'galactic battleship' of the 'second phase'.
Kaka officially joined Real Madrid for 65 million euros, opening the prelude to the second phase of the 'Galaxy Battleship'. After that, the Real Madrid club officially announced the signing of Valencia central defender Albiol, and then C-Ronaldo joined Real Madrid. After that, Real Madrid ushered in Benzema for 35 million euros and Xavi Alonso for 33 million pounds.
This summer, the famous European coach Jose Mourinho became the head of Real Madrid. In this regard, the European media really came up with a new issue of "Galaxy Battleship".
With a glorious history and the best squad in Europe, Real Madrid fans naturally think that the team deserves good results.
Although it is a team from the same city, Real Madrid fans have never taken Atletico Madrid seriously. Even if Atletico Madrid received a large amount of Chinese capital, and the famous coach Wan Sheng came to coach... But so what?
Atlético de Madrid is still a civilian team!
Atletico Madrid still haven't beat Real Madrid in ten years!
So when Real Madrid were one goal behind in the Madrid derby and were unable to tie the game, some Real Madrid fans began to lose patience.
They made a disgruntled 'hush' sound.
This "boo" sound was interpreted as dissatisfaction with Atletico Madrid's defense, and it was also interpreted as dissatisfaction with Real Madrid's failure to score.
But in short, Real Madrid fans began to be dissatisfied.
The 'boos' at the scene also made Real Madrid fans anxious, no player would want their fans to 'boo', especially if they were behind, it was completely understandable that the team was unhappy with their performance .
As time passed, the situation became more and more serious.
Real Madrid's attack is also getting more and more fierce, they are desperate to score a goal to tie the game, otherwise they will face a lot of pressure.
They have no other choice.
The only way to not lose is to score goals, but their mentality is already restless, so their attack looks fierce, but for a long time, there is no threat to Atletico Madrid's goal at all.
As the core of the team's midfield, Maurice's ability is undeniable. When Real Madrid's offensive is very fierce, he finds that the opponent's formation is very high.
This is the opportunity!
After a counterattack failed, Morris reminded Aguero on the way back, "Be careful to stand a little forward." (To be continued ~^~)
