On the field, Atletico Madrid's offense continued.
With his back to the backcourt, Belleron used a beautiful heel pass to pass the ball to Baraja who was inserted behind him. His extremely concealed pass eluded all the defensive players. Baraja, who followed up, saw that no one was coming to defend him, so he immediately picked up his right foot while running, and then shot the ball hard!
Roberto Carlos, who was defending in the penalty area, reacted and blocked Baraja's shot with his body. The ball changed line and flew out of the baseline for a corner kick.
"Atletico Madrid won a corner kick Their current offensive is very fierce, and it is also very concise, not sloppy at all. It seems that Atletico Madrid is deliberately speeding up the rhythm of the attack, hoping to catch Real Madrid off guard This kind of play at least in It has a huge advantage in terms of momentum!¡±
Stam rushed forward and his header ability was very good. Baraja and Jardel also stood in the penalty area ready to respond. Belleron stood in front of the ball and when the referee blew the whistle, he could take the penalty. After the whistle, Belleron raised his foot and kicked the ball into the penalty area!
Under the cover of Stam and others, Baraja rushed to the front point, then jumped high in front of the ball, and swung his head in front of Hierro to attack the goal!
This header was so close that Casillas had no time to react. When the cheers of Atletico Madrid fans just rushed out of the door, the ball hit the top of the crossbar hard and then bounced off the baseline!
There was a huge sigh in the stands.
Dick also lowered his open arms. He sighed and waved his hands violently - although he was calm, he seemed very sorry to miss this opportunity, but he quickly calmed down. Instead, he clapped his hands on the court and returned to his position.
Although the goal was not scored, it is obvious that in this attack, Real Madrid's originally quite good defense has begun to become a little loose. After all, Hierro cannot return to five years ago overnight, and neither can Pavin. May become a reliable central defender overnight!
Defense has always been Real Madrid's flaw. Facing other teams, they can calmly control the midfield and then pass the ball to reduce the pressure on their defense. However, although Atletico Madrid is slightly inferior to Real Madrid in terms of control, however They quickly passed through the midfield and directly threatened Real Madrid, but the pressure on Real Madrid's defense began to increase significantly!
"As long as we continue to attack like this, we will definitely be able to score! Because no matter how good Del Bosque is, he can't change the huge loopholes in their defense! Although it is not easy to seize the loopholes in their defense Things, but our offense can do this, this is our most effective offense!¡±
Dick is a person who sticks to something once he has made up his mind - this is his advantage, and with the eyesight of a senior fan of later generations, he naturally knows what these seemingly powerful teams have. As long as he can grasp this weakness, he will naturally be invincible!
This is also why Dick has a high winning rate when facing famous strong teams, but sometimes it is easy for him to overturn against weak teams. When playing against strong teams, he can often use some whimsical ideas and magical adjustments. Let the team have the advantage, but when facing the weak team, he always simply and roughly crushes it with his strength - this is also his advantage.
"Continue to attack!" Dick waved his hand again to the court. If he just waved but did not take any other actions, then Dick's intention was only one - he has been playing well recently, so he just needs to keep it up. !
After seeing Dick's actions, Atletico Madrid's players began to continue such attacks, and Del Bosque was naturally not dead. He shouted a few words from the sidelines, and Real Madrid's offense began to become more cautious.
Being more careful on offense will not give Atletico Madrid a chance for a fast break and will also increase the success rate of their own offense. Although it is tiring to play in this way, it can reduce the pressure on their team. This is also the best way.
With the strength of Real Madrid's midfield, they can actually do this most of the time - but that is only most of the time, at least Atletico Madrid will not be completely suppressed by them!
In terms of running and confrontation capabilities, Atletico Madrid has the advantage!
Real Madrid launched an attack, and their strength was indeed outstanding. Under the organization of Zidane and Figo, coupled with Guti's occasional outstanding performance, they quickly created a good opportunity. Zidane sent it out in the midfield With a direct pass, Raul moved forward in time. Although Thuram was interfering with him, he still brought the ball into the shooting range, and then immediately took the shot after deducting a gap!
Molina made a timely save. He turned sideways and blocked the ball from the bottom line. Real MadridAlso won a corner kick.
Atletico Madrid launched a tight defense in the penalty area, but Real Madrid's corner kick was very creative. Figo did not drive the ball into the penalty area, but passed it directly to the front of the penalty area. Carlos, who advanced forward, met the goal. The ball came down and was volleyed directly into the air!
It's just that even Carlos can't hit such a difficult shot well every time. In fact, the success rate of this kind of shot is very low - this time Carlos' shot failed, and the ball flew out with a roar. He hit the bottom line and almost hit an Atletico Madrid fan in the stands
Many Atletico Madrid fans laughed mercilessly, laughing at Carlos's failed shot, but Carlos just grinned, then turned around and ran back.
"When it is difficult to get opportunities in regular offenses, do you want to play some difficult offenses and create opportunities through the personal abilities of the stars? Del Bosque, can you really think about it? You can think of this"
Dick thought about it carefully and then laughed. He was sure that this was what Bosque had in mind. However, for Bosque, there was no other way. It did have shortcomings on the whole and Atletico Madrid would definitely do it. Pursuing this shortcoming fiercely, and with Atletico Madrid's excellent defense, using this method to bet on luck and the performance of superstars seems a bit unbelievable, but if you think about it carefully, it is still possible. It's really Bosque's only solution!
However, Dick is not worried about this. Although Real Madrid lacks everything except superstars on the offensive line, Atletico Madrid's defense is not vegetarian, not to mention that Dick has never been in this home game. He thought about using defense to win, but his bet was actually on offense!
Even if your superstar can shine, if we can score enough goals before then, then it will be too late for your superstar to shine!
Atletico Madrid uses man-to-man defense most of the time. As a teammate of the national team, Makelele's defense against Zidane is still in place. This makes the French superstar seem a little quiet after the start of the game, but Robert Card. Los Angeles often created opportunities through assists, but this kind of offense did not achieve very good results. Atletico Madrid's offense began to become more and more fierce.
From the beginning of the game to now, if the offenses of both sides are divided into ten parts, then Atletico Madrid may account for seven of them, and Real Madrid can only account for three¡ª¡ªand this trend does not seem to have any effect in the next game. The change!
In the 18th minute, Vicente moved the ball to the right. Camoranesi directly passed the ball with his instep on the right side. Jardel followed up and shot directly over the crossbar.
In the 20th minute, Vicente broke through from the wing and cut inside, then took a long shot. The ball missed the far post and flew out of the baseline.
In the 22nd minute, Real Madrid launched a counterattack. Baraja brought down Figo outside the penalty area. However, although Figo's free kick bypassed the wall, it flew out of the baseline.
Atletico Madrid took advantage of the situation and launched a quick counterattack. Camoranesi wanted to pass the ball to Vicente who advanced into the penalty area, but Hierro took the lead to clear the ball with a header.
Camoranesi brought down Figo during the press and was given a yellow card. Although Atletico Madrid received the first yellow card in the game, the next two yellow cards belonged to Real Madrid - first Zida Ney received a yellow card for hooking Belleron from behind, and then Salgado tripped Vicente, who had already formed a breakthrough, and also received a yellow card.
Thirty minutes after the first half, both sides received three yellow cards in total, with an average of one every ten minutes - this is already a very intense rhythm for the Madrid derby, after all, both sides are focused on this game. During the game, except for Zidane's foul, which was deliberately retaliatory - because Belleron hit Zidane's face with his elbow while fighting for a high ball - other actions were within the normal range. Therefore, the head coaches of both sides kept quiet and did not yell on the sidelines in an attempt to interfere with the referee's decision.
Dick began to frown. The situation between the two sides was now relatively stalemate. Atletico Madrid had the advantage in attacking times. However, if they failed to score, if one of Real Madrid's superstars made a sudden flash, they would be in trouble if they fell behind - after all This game is their home court!
In a two-round match, conceding the ball first at home is very demoralizing and has real damage.
Just when Dick was a little worried, his players repaid his trust well and brought him the goal he wanted!
Belleron picked up the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and Zidane, who was returning to defend, came to defend him from behind. Belleron struggled to protect the ball - you must know that Zidane's physical confrontation ability is better than him, and he defended him like this It is rather disadvantageous.
ProtectingAfter the ball, Belleron raised his foot and planned to pass the ball out. At that moment, Zidane relaxed a little - he was not a professional defensive player after all. At this time, Belleron felt Zidane's hand behind him. The defense relaxed a bit and he made a bold move!
With a flick of his right ankle, he quickly dunked the ball back, then knocked the ball back with his heel, then quickly turned around and got rid of Zidane in one go!
When he broke into the penalty area and faced the goal head-on, Belleron's skills and passing awareness were fully demonstrated. When Helguera and Pavin were about to form a circle, he had already kicked off the ball immediately and then passed the ball. It spread from the crowd!
The ball fell right in front of Jardel! The Brazilian center resisted Hierro with his body, then quickly swung his right foot and shot the ball powerfully at the first opportunity!
The ball quickly flew out from the penalty spot, and then flew to the dead center of the goal. Although Casillas responded immediately, his fall to the ground still seemed a little slow, and the ball flew off his fingers. Passed by and flew into the gate of Real Madrid the next moment!
At the same time, a huge cheer erupted above the Calderon Stadium, and the shouts of countless Atletico Madrid fans went straight into the sky. At the same time, there was an even louder cheer outside the Calderon Stadium, which did not enter the stadium. Atletico Madrid fans are echoing the cheers and shouts of the fans in the stadium!
