Chapter 011: Reversal
The most likely time period for scoring goals in a football game is nothing more than the beginning and end of the first half and the beginning and end of the second half, because these four periods are the most susceptible to slackness.
Both sides were focused at the start of the first and second halves and there was no slackness, as was the case at the start of the second half.
When the score was still 1:1 towards the end of the game, and neither side seemed to change the score on the contrary, it seemed likely that the game would end in a tacit draw, with one point each.
But for both sides of the game, if there is a chance to exceed the score, they definitely want to take it.
There is no first, there is no second, and competitive sports are particularly obvious.
Atletico realised that an opportunity was coming in the process of switching from defense to attack, and there were many people involved in the attack, and the forward range was large.
Alda Turan took the ball forward to organize the attack, and noticed a dangerous passing route in Griezmann's forward route, coupled with Griezmann's physical advantage and speed advantage, if he passed the ball, it was very likely that he would face Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas directly.
Because Ramos and Pepe did not close the door in the process of Real Madrid players retreating, as long as the football is passed, Griezmann's speed can definitely be received!
If everything is played according to Alda Turan's script, it will indeed form a single knife.
However, Tang Zheng has a strong ability to read the game, likes to empathize in the defensive process, and is decisive, realizing that Alda Turan is going to pass the ball to the ghostly Griezmann The moment he accelerates his run, and falls to the ground to put the tackle.
Atletico fans sitting in front of the TV thought that Alda Turan would be able to connect with Antoine Griezmann, who had run to the perfect position, but everything was unexpected.
In the passing path of Alda Turan, a long leg suddenly appeared.
"Whoa—"
A shouting was evident over the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Immediately, Tang Zheng, who fell to the ground, stabbed the ball to Tony Kroos with his toes, and then quickly stood up with his hands on the ground and stepped forward to participate in the attack.
Toni Kroos himself wanted to find Cristiano Ronaldo with a long pass, but he heard Tang Zheng's shouting at the moment of his kick, and hurriedly passed the ball to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng was very good at taking advantage of the limited space in the game as Atletico Madrid switched from attacking to defending, and he used a simple bicycle to pass Thiago who tried to steal.
After attracting the attention of Alda Turan, she chose to be decisive and sent a 30-metre through ball with her left foot.
The ball rolled quickly on the turf towards the defensive space between Juanfran and Godin, and Cristiano Ronaldo was fast and started early, and Juanfran was squeezed behind him.
I want to foul, but I hesitate.
It was too late for Juanfran to think about fouling again, as Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball and went into the box.
Godin had no choice but to fight and retreat to block Cristiano Ronaldo's shot angle as much as possible.
Cristiano Ronaldo already knew what to do next when he entered the box, flicking the ball out with the outside of his right foot, picking up his right foot and making a gesture to open up an angled shot.
Where does Godin not know what Cristiano Ronaldo is going to do?
So he defended head-on with both hands behind his back and then extended his left foot to try to block Cristiano Ronaldo's shot.
"Whoa—"
The Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium subconsciously created a huge chant for Cristiano Ronaldo when they saw this
Rally.
However, the next moment, Cristiano Ronaldo's right foot did not hit the football, but slammed the ball to the left with his right foot and pulled the ball back.
"Oops!"
Godin, who made defensive moves in advance, suddenly realized that the situation was not good, but there was nothing he could do now and could only pin his hopes on goalkeeper Moya.
Juanfran didn't dare to make any moves behind Cristiano Ronaldo, so he could only take advantage of Cristiano Ronaldo's smash to overtake on the left side, ready to complete this epic defense with goalkeeper Moya.
Cristiano Ronaldo took the two very quickly, and picked up his left foot as soon as he finished the ball with his right foot.
British Sky Commentator Andy Gray sharply lengthened his voice, full of anticipation: "Cristiano-"
Goalkeeper Moya, who came to the near corner of the goal, held his breath and kept his eyes on the instep of Cristiano Ronaldo's left foot and the direction of the force, his brain quickly issued an order, and the center of gravity of his body fell to the left.
Cristiano Ronaldo's left-footed instep kick into the upper middle of the ball accelerates towards the far corner of the goal, exactly in the same direction as Atletico goalkeeper Moya's save.
Despite this, Cristiano Ronaldo is a superb shooter, with a powerful left-footed shot and a tricky angle, with the ball being faster than goalkeeper Moya's body pressing down.
※※※
“Goooooooooooooooooooooooal——”
The elongated voice of British Sky commentator Andy Grey hysteria.
Yang 5 commentator He Wei was passionate: "The ball is in! Ronaldo received Tang Zheng's penetrating through ball in the 88th minute of the game to break through Atletico Madrid's goal, and Real Madrid overtook the score with Ronaldo's two goals!2:1!!"
Commentator Xu Yang subconsciously continued, full of passion: "90% of Ronaldo's goal is due to Tang Zheng, he fell to the ground in a very timely manner on the defensive end to resolve Atletico Madrid's very likely to form a goal-breaking attack, and then personally participated in the counterattack, stepping on a bicycle to pass Thiago is very freehand, the straight ball is as accurate as a scalpel, it is natural, but what Ronaldo wants to do has become extremely simple." ”
German Sky commentator Marcel Leif turned his attention back to the assister Tang Zheng after marveling at Cristiano Ronaldo's goal: "Don is still the all-powerful Don! With almost all the attention of the defensive end of the game, he once again created a great chance in the closing stages of the game! Participated in the attack in the first half and won the penalty equalizer, and participated in the attack in the second half to directly assist Cristiano Ronaldo to overtake the score! This ...... It's the value of the best midfielder in the world!"
Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal, was particularly excited in the frenetic atmosphere of the scene, playing his trademark celebratory gesture before his team-mates felt it, dipping his index fingers on the ground and then slapping his left chest with his right hand.
That handsome face looks a little hideous in the extreme excitement, but fans who like him don't care about this, in the eyes of fans, such Cristiano Ronaldo is attractive enough.
Who else is me!
The excited Cristiano Ronaldo can be said to have released the pressure of his whole body, and the World Cup that ended in Brazil this year did not play at his own level due to injury, and he was also conservatively injured at the beginning of the league, and the team's one win and one draw can be said to have little to do with him, so he was questioned by many media.
Is that omnipotent Cristiano Ronaldo old?
In this round of Madrid derby, he scored two goals to overtake the score, which is to prove himself!
Cristiano Ronaldo naturally did not forget Tang Zheng, who gave a wonderful assist, he turned around and opened his arms, hugged Tang Zheng, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Tang!
"Where, where, it's your last handling of the ball that is very reasonable!!Cristiano!!Cristiano!" Tang Zheng patted Cristiano Ronaldo's shoulder and smiled, and then changed his voice, pulling Tony Kroos and saying: "It's still Tony's ball that is very timely, and it is the turning point of our attack!"
Tony Cross couldn't understand Spanish, but he could read the meaning of Tang Zheng's words, and his excited face was a little more shy.
Cristiano Ronaldo took the initiative to put his arm around Tony Cross's shoulders and said an easy-to-understand phrase in English: "Very-Good!!"
Tang Zheng took the initiative to praise Toni Kroos in the Madrid derby, Cristiano Ronaldo was also making overtures, and Toni Kroos realized that he could use this game as an opportunity to integrate into the Real Madrid dressing room.
At the same time, Carlo Ancelotti, who was standing in front of the home team's coach's box, excitedly hugged his assistants Clement and Zinedine Zidane.
The goal in the closing stages of the game is likely to be the last goal of the game, which means that Real Madrid are likely to win the first leg of the Madrid derby!
In front of the away team's coach not far away, Simeone flicked his arms angrily, turned his back to the field, faced the stands, and kept shouting, not knowing what he was talking about, but anyone with a little thinking ability could guess.
He...... Dissatisfied with the performance of the players on the field in the last moments.
Admittedly, the transition from defense to attack was a rare opportunity, and Alda Turan had no problem trying to pass the ball to Antoine Griezmann, who was running out of position, but the problem was that the defensive organization of the attack-to-defense was too messy and completely unorganised.
Of course, the most important thing is that the players want to score goals and win the game in the last moments, which leads to huge problems in the process of switching from attack to defense.
So Simeone can't say anything to the players in this situation, because he also wants to win the six-point game at the Bernabeu, and he also mentioned during the break that he must take advantage of the opportunity if he has the opportunity.
The attack did not work, but was scored by Real Madrid, which can only be said to be too unlucky.
But then again, there are just over a minute left in regulation time, and there should be almost five minutes of stoppage time.
Winning the game may be unlikely, but the chances of an equaliser are very high.
Simeone then went to the fourth official to complain that the Real Madrid players were celebrating for too long, seriously affecting their restart.
The fourth official, who is also very sophisticated, signaled to the referee Belakos that the extra game time will be properly recouped.
※※※
"Whoa—"
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to take the lead, and the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium were very excited, and they created a wave of chanting.
The game restarted, and the Atletico Madrid players who had the advantage of kicking off quickly launched an offensive, but Real Madrid, who had just exceeded the score, was in good shape, and the defenders were quite upright under Tang Zheng's loud reminder.
Atletico's players are characterized by quick counter-attacks after high pressing, and now they really lack a real attacking core to let them take the ball and launch a strong attack.
Thiago, Alda Turan and Koke all have some playmaking ability, but they are the kind of offensive playmakers who can play both offensively and defensively, not pure offensive playmakers, and the team lacks real leaders to step up at such critical times.
Real Madrid retreated to the half-court defense, and Atletico Madrid took a strong attack, but the effect was almost invisible, and it was a thunderous rain and a small rain.
Commentators watching the game will inevitably think of last season's Champions League final, where Atletico Madrid didn't know how to play in extra time after being read by Real Madrid, and the more chaotic the game went on.
The same is true for this game.
Simeone, the head coach standing in the away dugout, can't see the problem?
The problem is that leader-level players are hard to come by, and they ......
No money!
The club's investment is limited, and Simeone is also a clever woman who has no rice to cook.
In the first minute of stoppage time, Real Madrid made the last substitution of the game.
Raphael Varane replaces James Rodriguez, who had a decent performance in the game.
The intention of this substitution was quite obvious – to defend with all its might and maintain the 2-1 score until stoppage time.
Of course, Real Madrid are not just defending in all aspects, but are looking for opportunities to counter-attack quickly while defending steadily.
In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, who enjoys the privilege of not having to defend back, new signing Hernandez is very hard and defends actively.
The attitude of the Real Madrid fans in the stands at this time was surprisingly unified, and they tacitly created a huge chant to cheer for the home team.
Tang Zheng expanded his coverage in stoppage time to make up for the defensive deficiencies of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, and the three-centre-back system worked better than expected, so the Atletico players could not find decent opportunities in attack.
After all, positional offense is not something they are good at either.
The other three substitutions have all been used up, and Simeone can only rely on the players on the pitch to try to change the score and equalise.
"Beep~Beep~Beep~~"
However, the score did not change until the referee Belakos blew the whistle at the end of the game......
In the end, Real Madrid defeated local rivals Atletico Madrid 2-1 thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's solo goal and won the six-point derby.
The Barcelona players who sat in front of the TV to watch the game shrugged their shoulders, in their hearts, the most desired result was one point for both sides, and now Real Madrid is only two points behind in three games, two wins and one loss, and Atletico Madrid has only lost three points.
The season is long and any possibility can happen.
After the game, Tang Zheng and his teammates simply hugged and celebrated, and then walked to his mentor Simeone.
The picture of the two hugging and talking was successfully captured by the live director, and the central 5 commentator He Wei smiled: "Tang Zheng is the most proud disciple of Simeone since his coaching career, although he did not score in this game, but he created penalties and direct assists to help Ronaldo score twice, it can be said that Tang Zheng directed Real Madrid's home reversal of Atletico Madrid, if possible, I think Simeone hopes never to appear on the opposite side......"
