Simeone's-for-tat substitution adjustment was immediate, and Real Madrid's attack, which had just improved, returned to silence, and the live director took care of Ancelotti in the coaching area of the visiting team many times.

Obviously, the live director understands the ball and he wants to see Ancelotti make an immediate adjustment.

Real Madrid have a star-studded squad with players who have the ability to change the situation of the game, but Atletico's targeted defensive tactics have been extremely effective, including Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Di Maria and other players are helpless.

A few minutes went on, to 60 minutes, which meant that there was still half an hour left in the game, and Real Madrid's attack was still not making much progress, Ancelotti decided to make the second substitution of the game, and the live director gave a panoramic shot, so that the fans in front of the TV could see the scene outside the game that had not been interrupted.

Marcelo, wearing the number 12 shirt, stood on the sidelines, waiting for a dead-ball opportunity.

Immediately, Cristiano Ronaldo received a long pass from Tang Zheng on the right rib of the penalty area to complete a header on the left rib of the penalty area, but he had enough power under Godin's close interference, but the crosshair was not enough.

The referee on duty, Kuppels, blew his whistle and pointed his finger to the sidelines, signaling that the match had requested a substitution.

Marcelo replaced Portuguese left-back Coentrão, who was not in good form in this game, to strengthen the attack on the left flank.

In fact, this substitution adjustment is obviously targeted, Cristiano Ronaldo's attack on the left side will fall into the strong defense of Juanfran, Godin and Koke, it is difficult to make a big difference, and the national team teammate Coentrão is not in good shape, so Real Madrid's left offensive has not been able to create a threat.

Real Madrid's attack on the right is okay, Carvajal and Di Maria are in hot form, although they did not directly help Real Madrid break through the Atletico Madrid defense, but they created a lot of space, but Benzema, who followed up in the middle, could not find shooting boots under the marking of Miranda or Godin.

Marcelo was in fine form in the first half of the 2013-2014 season, but his form was greatly affected by a series of injuries in the second half, with Portugal international Coentrão taking a starting spot in the Champions League final thanks to his chemistry with Cristiano Ronaldo and his stunning performance over two legs in the Champions League semi-final.

Marcelo, who came off the bench, didn't perform well enough, but considering that the Champions League final is still a top competition like a substitute to find form, no one thinks Ancelotti's substitution adjustment is not appropriate.

As the game progressed, Marcelo gradually found his form.

A player with a big heart, Marcelo was born to play big, and he can often share the pressure of Cristiano Ronaldo or Di Maria when attacking on the left flank.

Despite this, the quality of Atletico's defense is still very good, and the protection of each other is in place, one link after another.

Especially for Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, the connection is very restrictive, and they don't give them any direct connection opportunity at all.

Want to connect?

OK!

You have to walk through the air, and you are definitely not allowed to pass through the ground.

This is also the fundamental reason why most of the connection between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo was through long balls for more than an hour, as the Atletico defenders cut off the passing routes of the two through running and helping to defend.

During this time, Tang Zheng thought of many ways, but he was worried that Atletico Madrid would counterattack quickly, so the forward penetration was not very deep, and the help to the team was very limited.

However, Simeone is very concerned about Tang Zheng's activities, and he has not slackened at all, and his replacement of Raul Garcia with Sosa is also related to Tang Zheng.

Sosa has a balanced attack and defense, a strong sense of position, and an offensive organization at critical times also has its own set, Simeone even had relevant advice before Sosa came off the bench, asking Sosa to assist in the defense nearby when Tang Zheng pressed forward to participate in the attack.

This protection does not only refer to Atletico's defense, but also to the defense to attack.

The frenetic atmosphere at the Stadium of Light did not decrease because the score remained the same, on the contrary, it became more frenetic as time went by, and the cheers rose higher and higher.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the close-up of the on-site director was once again meaningfully given to Ancelotti, and Yang 5 commentator He Wei took the opportunity to say: "Real Madrid's two substitutions have obvious adjustment effects, but Atletico Madrid's defense is very good, and a quick counterattack in the case of a comprehensive retreat to the half can also threaten the Real Madrid goal, the game time is getting less and less, Real Madrid is still behind Atletico Madrid, Ancelotti still has the last card left in his hand, should he use it earlier?"

In fact, Ancelotti also thought about this problem, but the last substitution adjustment cannot be used casually, the game is almost 30 minutes left after injury time, and there may be unpredictable situations in half an hour, and the last place should be in case of emergency.

Moreover, there are no suitable personnel options for the bench.

Goalkeepers Diego López, Arbeloa and Pepe could be completely left behind, leaving only Illa Ramendi, Casemiro and Alvaro Morata.

Ilya Ramendi is not as good as Modric and Tang Zheng, Casemiro is a pure defensive midfielder, and now he is also not needed, Morata has the ability, but it is still unknown whether the top competition in the Champions League final can be used as a hitter.

At the end of the day, Carlo Ancelotti has Italian conservative blood in him, and he knows he shouldn't take any risks at this time.

After all, there is still time.

※※※

Atletico Madrid manager Simeone, who made a substitution, looked calm, but in fact the psychological fluctuations were very large, and the team only led by one goal, and the one-goal lead is arguably the most unsafe score in the world.

If you are not careful, you will be equalized by Real Madrid.

So from time to time, Simeone stood in the home team's coach's command area and made incendiary tactical gestures towards the players on the field, releasing pressure on himself while directing the team's game.

Especially when the game came to 70 minutes, because the running distance of the Atletico Madrid players was perfectly suppressed by Real Madrid, and even Tang Zheng, who had the farthest running distance in Real Madrid, could not rank in the top three in the game, so you can imagine how far the running distance of the Atletico Madrid players was.

It is not difficult to see from the running distance that the quality of Atletico Madrid's defense is compensated by the number of Atletico Madrid players who run at any cost, but with the passage of time, the physical fitness of the players is limited after all, and in the case of physical decline, it will affect the player's concentration on the game.

Tang Zheng is keenly aware that the physical fitness of Atletico Madrid players has declined significantly, especially in the midfield, and the ability to move is slowly declining.

Although the decline is not very obvious, Tang Zheng believes that the decline will be more obvious with the passage of time.

As a result, Tang Zheng was more keen on scheduling the direction of the attack.

Simeone, who was standing on the sidelines, had his hands in his pockets, his brows furrowed deeply, he knew his team well, and his observation was in place, and he also saw the problems that Tang Zheng could see.

Fitness can be said to be a team's strength as well as a disadvantage.

Atletico Madrid's La Liga title this season was thrilling, with two consecutive defeats at a crucial time.

The real reason is that Atletico Madrid consciously rotated for the Champions League final, but the gap between the main team and the substitute is obvious, so Yogurt lost to Levante and Malaga one after another at a critical time.

Turkish international Turan is a fighter, but he has just recovered from injury and has not yet returned, so he does not dare to put it easily, and now he is very tight and cannot have any slack.

Cristian Rodriguez is attacking strong and weak, and now he needs to defend rather than attack, and he can't adjust.

Alderweireld would be a good option, but who to replace has not yet been decided, and with Diego Costa using up one spot due to injury, Sosa coming on for a second spot and a third should be more cautious.

At that moment, left-back Felipe suddenly sat on the ground, central defenders Godin and Gabi raised their hands, and Modric, who was in possession of the ball, hesitated before kicking the ball off the touchline.

"Bang Bang Bang-"

Modric's approach won applause from Atletico fans, but Real Madrid fans were not happy, believing it was a ruse by the Atletico players to delay the game.

It turned out that Felipe sat on the ground without physical confrontation not to delay the game, but he realized that his body could no longer continue to play, otherwise the hidden danger to the team would be absolutely catastrophic.

At the same time, Simeone's heart trembled, Diego Costa couldn't hold on to the game and used up one substitution early, Sosa used up the second, and now Felipe can't keep the game going, which means that the third substitution adjustment is likely to be used here.

After about half a minute, the team doctor shook his head at Simeone and made a gesture that needed to be replaced.

It was clear that Felipe could no longer hold on to the game.

Felipe is one of the few Atletico players who has maintained full attendance this season, playing on three fronts, and the physical exertion is too great, and muscle problems will inevitably occur.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei sighed with emotion: "Atletico Madrid's luck is really bad, Diego Costa forced comeback gambling failed to use up a heat exchange place early, and now Felipe can't stick to the game, the key third substitution place is forced to be used again, the rest of the game is a long way to go for Atletico Madrid, and the only good news for them is that the score is ahead, as long as the defense is not a problem, they can have the last laugh." ”

Felipe's inability to keep the game going will have a big impact on Atletico's left flank, but Atletico's priority is to keep the left side defensively solid, and Belgium international Alderweireld is a good option.

※※※

Seventy-five minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid's three substitution adjustments were all used, and Real Madrid also had another substitution adjustment, but Ancelotti did not dare to fight with Atletico Madrid too early, after all, there was still time.

In order to be foolproof, it is necessary to wait a little longer.

Ancelotti waited for eighty minutes.

Frontcourt players Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria are in good form and cannot be replaced, Isco came off the bench in the second half again, and Modric has a great role and cannot be replaced, so Ancelotti finally chose to adjust the position.

Alvaro Morata replaces Benzema.

For this substitution, many commentators are puzzled.

They believe that Real Madrid should be reckless in their pile of strikers when they are behind, trading quantity for quality.

In fact, in Ancelotti's view, Real Madrid's goals still need to be organized, Benzema in the first 80 minutes of physical energy was consumed on Godin and Miranda, now the physical confrontation is very tight, the ability to grab points has greatly decreased, with fresh blood Morata is a good choice.

Of course, the bigger reason is that there is no one to replace.

Alvaro Morata is a versatile striker who, like most Spaniards, is less fond of physical confrontation, but manager Carlo Ancelotti and assistant coach Clement gave him the task before taking on the pitch.

Alvaro Morata came off the bench with a high level of awareness, knowing that this was one of the few Champions League finals in his life, and that he should be able to play for the team.

Because he just came on the field, Morata is full of energy, Miranda and Godin have spent a lot of energy in the last 80 minutes of wits and courage with Benzema, and now there is no way to meet Morata who is not particularly physical but has a good attitude.

Morata is taller than Benzema, has better header skills, and has good technical skills at his feet.

In this way, as long as Real Madrid's two wings have a chance to play, they can often bring a huge threat to the Atletico backline.

Simeone stood on the sidelines looking very anxious, and his body made colorful body movements, causing the live director to often switch his close-ups.

As the clock ticked down, Atletico began to swing the bus and all the players returned to the 30-metre defensive zone.

Tang Zheng's position in this situation can rest assured that the premise, and Tang Zheng's forward pressure to the 30-meter offensive area also brings a huge bonus to Real Madrid's attack.

Real Madrid's attack under the organization of Tang Zheng and Modric pressed the Atletico Madrid defense very flat, the football came from the right side to the middle, Isco turned his back to the goal and handed the ball to Modric, who handed the ball to Tang Zheng without stopping.

Tang Zheng, who received the ball, flicked the ball forward with his right foot, took a step forward with his left foot, and picked up his right foot.

A very obvious long-range shooting posture, and Tang Zheng's long-range shooting kung fu is civilized all over the world, Gabi who defends head-on and David Villa who assists in defense dare not slack off.

However, Tang Zheng's right foot did not shoot directly from distance, but handed the ball to Marcelo on the left.

Tang Zheng assumed that the true pass attracted the attention of many Atletico defences, so that Marcelo was unmarked.

Marcelo swept the ball into the box with his left foot, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Morata fired in unison.

Milan fell to the ground in front of him to block the ball, but he flicked to Cristiano Ronaldo, and Morata picked up his left foot on the run to complete a stabbing shot.

"Oh, oh, oh-"

Atletico fans subconsciously erupted in exclamation.

However, the next moment, the exclamation was replaced by a shout: "Whoa—"

Godin made a tackle from behind the side in a poor position, and his right foot was just in the way of Morata's left-footed shot.

The intercepted ball changed its trajectory and went out on the left baseline, a corner.

"It's a pity!" Yang 5 commentator He Wei lamented: "Tang Zheng assumed that the true pass made this attack suddenly clear, and Marcelo's cross was also very accurate, but it was a pity that Godin, who showed experience in this game, appeared in a key position at a critical time!"

As soon as the words fell, He Wei looked at the game time shown on the scoreboard again, and added: "There are three minutes left in the game, can Real Madrid equalize?"
