The Madrid derby is known all over the world, especially with Atletico Madrid strong enough to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona for La Liga title dominance.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have a head-to-head conflict at the competitive level, and the pressure on the players on the pitch is very high, and it is normal to be emotionally difficult to control at a certain time.

And at this time, mental clarity is particularly important.

The excitement of the game has decreased significantly due to the interference of the referee, but the frequent physical confrontations are still endless.

Because Atletico's tactical style of play emphasizes physical contact and focuses on destruction.

After all, the technical gap is difficult to bridge, and it must be through other means.

As the game went by, the word fitness became an unforgettable gap between the two teams.

Both sides have a large number of internationals in the two international breaks, basically playing two games, coupled with the fatigue of travel, the physical exertion is very serious, and this game is a very crucial Madrid derby, no player wants to stay, even if they have to start the first Champions League group game of the new season in three days.

In terms of physical exertion, Atletico Madrid players are more numerous.

The full-court pressing and high pressing that they are good at require a lot of physical energy, and the international players in the team participated in two games during the international break, and the Real Madrid players made a lot of mistakes on the field, but they were caused by the huge pressure from the Atletico players, and the distance was naturally less than that of Atletico Madrid.

However, the Real Madrid players are all at the main level, and they must have participated in more games than some of Atletico Madrid's players, so the game has dropped to varying degrees by 60 minutes.

The loss of coverage of the players' runs reduces the spectacle of the game, as frequent physical confrontations are also a major attraction in football.

Immediately, the close-up of the live director was given to the managers of both sides, and the close-up stayed at Ancelotti.

The league has only started three rounds, and if Real Madrid only gets one win and two draws in the first three rounds, it will have a huge impact on the next league and the Champions League.

Therefore, for Carlo Ancelotti, it became urgent to try to make substitutions.

Although the current Real Madrid lineup configuration is very reasonable and luxurious, but Atletico Madrid's targeted tactics are very successful, except for Tang Zheng's sudden acceleration in the first half to create a penalty, Real Madrid's attack in other periods is lacking in layering, and the threat is impossible to talk about.

Of course, a big reason is that the pressure from the Atletico players is so great that Tang Zheng does not dare to try to step forward again to participate in the attack.

In the first fifteen minutes of the second half, Tang Zheng was all about attacking the whole by passing the series, controlling the tempo and deciding the direction of the attack, while the attacking organization in the midfield was handed over to James Rodriguez and Isco.

There's no denying that James Rodriguez and Isco are both talented talents, but the style of play dictates the way they play, so it's hard to get the heart out to organise an attack under the frantic pressure of Atletico's players.

Cristiano Ronaldo worked very hard, but he was helpless to fall into a situation of going it alone many times, and Benzema was even more isolated, disappearing for most of the game.

Two minutes passed in the game, and what people didn't expect was that Atletico Madrid took the lead in making substitution adjustments.

Turkey international Alda Turan replaced captain Gabi, who was yellow-carded, and he played in the same position and performed the same duties as Gabi, protecting an area and keeping an eye out for Tang Zheng, who might be involved in the attack.

Seeing that Benzema didn't get the cross under Godin and Miranda's defense, Ancelotti shook his head and sighed, and then explained to his assistant Clement.

In the 66th minute, the live broadcast screen was given to the sidelines, and Real Madrid made the first substitution adjustment of the game, and new signing Hernandez replaced Benzema.

At the same time, Atletico also made a substitution, with Antoine Griezmann coming on in place of Jimenez.

※※※

Carlo Ancelotti's substitutions were only for the alignment of the forward position, and the tactical changes that fans wanted to see were not seen at all, even when substitute Hernandez made a tactical gesture towards several Real Madrid players in midfield.

However, not much has changed since the start of the game, and Hernandez's chemistry with Cristiano Ronaldo, James Rodriguez and Isco is basically zero.

Because Hernandez's loan was completed in a moment before the end of the summer transfer window, Real Madrid did not even enter the squad as a guest of Real Sociedad, and then the international break came, Hernandez also flew directly back to China to participate in the national team competition, and there was no time to run in with the whole Real Madrid team.

There are no surprises, Hernandez seems to be outside of Real Madrid's overall tactics, and even the effect is not as obvious as Benzema's.

Benzema's height and weight are there, and he has a very tacit understanding with Cristiano Ronaldo, although staying on the field will not be very useful, but at least it can play a deterrent role.

Hernandez is less than 1.8 meters tall and physically unable to compare to Godin or Miranda, and his exaggerated fall to the ground after a physical contact even led to a verbal warning from the referee on duty, Belakos.

Atletico's substitution changes worked very well, and substitute Antoine Griezmann was a wide player with striker attributes, with speed and skill, and he was not tall but had a strong ability to compete for the top in the box.

If Alda Turan was restrained by Gabi's defensive actions after receiving a yellow card, then the replacement of Griezmann was to let Atletico Madrid's attack unleash and attack boldly.

Atletico's attack gradually threatened Casillas in goal, and the Atletico fans in the stands became more and more excited.

"Woo woo woo-"

Real Madrid fans, the most difficult in the world, do not know whether to turn against each other or be dissatisfied with Atletico Madrid, who have an absolute numerical advantage, create a deafening huge boo.

The momentum was so loud that even the fans sitting in front of the TV could hear it clearly and feel a burst of upset and irritability.

Both the Real Madrid players on the pitch and the Atletico Madrid players couldn't help frowning, but they had a strong psychological adjustment ability and quickly returned to the game after a short period of adaptation.

As the game continued, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti returned to the dugout, sat down, and then turned to exchange views with assistant Clement to see if any more changes should be made to the lineup.

If Atletico are allowed to attack like this, it may be possible to score at this juncture.

On the bench, there aren't many players who have the ability to change the game.

Eventually, attention was on Tony Cross.

Jesse's return from injury is not very good, and Atletico Madrid's defense is leaky, there is no room for Jesse to sprint, and the substitution effect is not great.

Illiya Ramendi is not capable enough, it is okay to play a weak team, and a strong team like Atletico Madrid is destined to be useless.

So...... Only Germany's World Cup-winning midfielder Tony Kroos can be chosen.

In the 72nd minute, Real Madrid made the second substitution of the game.

Looking at the substitution electronic plate number held high by the fourth official, Yang 5 commentator He Wei said curiously: "Kroos replaces Isco, is it for Kroos to play the front midfield, or is it the premise of Tang Zheng's position, and Kroos partners with Modric? Or is it like the Super Cup to sacrifice three back midfielders?"

As Toni Kroos and Isco entered the pitch after completing the substitution handover ceremony, the position gradually became clear, and Real Madrid's formation changed from the original 4231 to the 4321 team that was tried in the Spanish Super Cup.

Toni Kroos, Tang Zheng and Luka Modric play as defensive midfielders, with Tang Zheng playing more to the right, and Toni Kroos and Modric playing the role of supporting the defense in front of him.

Real Madrid's problems are not obvious when they are on the defensive, but when it comes to attacking, the problems are very big and the division of labor is not clear.

Last season's Real Madrid Xavi Alonso was responsible for defense, Modric was responsible for connection and forward insertion, Tang Zheng was responsible for the midfield offensive organization, and the opponent of this game, Atletico Madrid, was strong, in order to ensure the safety of the defense, he had to play as a defensive midfielder in the case of Xavi Alonso's transfer, and the three positions were very close, so it was inevitable that there would be some mistakes in the specific division of labor.

It's not that Ancelotti's tactical division of labor is not clear, but when Real Madrid's attack is tested by Atletico's defense, there is a lack of someone who can share Tang Zheng's pressure.

Modric is thin and unable to stand up under the close defence almost formed by the Atletico players, and many times the short pass is a one-kick ball.

Toni Kroos has excellent footwork, both short and long, but unfortunately he and the Real Madrid players have not had enough tacit understanding, and the two long passes he first came on were wrong, resulting in the surrender of possession.

Two consecutive pass errors, the Real Madrid fans in the stands were extremely unhappy with this, creating a wave of boos.

Immediately, the broadcast picture was given to Tang Zheng, who was wearing the No. 10 jersey.

Real Madrid's attack is not smooth, and the offensive organization has frequent mistakes, it is obvious that the on-site director knows the ball very well, and he hopes that Tang Zheng will do something.

In fact, Tang Zheng is also thinking of a way, but he is worried that the combination of Modric and Toni Kroos will not be able to complete an effective defense in the process of Atletico Madrid's transition from defense to attack, after all, Modric has already carried a yellow card.

The Madrid derby turned two yellows and one red, an absolute disaster.

So Tang Zheng was waiting, waiting for that fleeting opportunity.

※※※

Atletico had gradually created a goalscoring potential through two substitutions, but Simeone, who was standing in the area of the visitors' coach, seemed not satisfied with the status quo and made another substitution in the 78th minute.

Mario Suarez replaces Mandzukic.

It would be a mistake to say that this adjustment is to strengthen the defence, it is all about giving new signing Antoine Griezmann more attacking space and strengthening the ability to deliver shells in the middle.

Alda Turan, Koke, Thiago and Raul Garcia all have some playmaking ability, and central defender Godin also has a precise long ball that can create good chances from defense to attack.

Atletico don't have many attacking chances, but they are extremely threatening, so Carlo Ancelotti, who is in the coaching area of the home team, is thinking...... Do you want to make one last adjustment?

In Ancelotti's hesitation, the game was already 85 minutes long.

The frenetic atmosphere at the Bernabeu Stadium has strengthened significantly after a brief slump, so much so that the movement of the players on the pitch has become more and more exaggerated.

The referee on duty, Belakos, realized some signs and decisively showed two yellow cards.

The two sides of the game were stimulated by two yellow cards in a short period of time, and the game returned to the trajectory.

But Ancelotti is still thinking about how to adjust, because now that it has come to the end of the game, Toni Kroos's arrival has not relieved Tang Zheng's offensive organization pressure, but has increased the burden on Tang Zheng.

Carlo Ancelotti didn't know what the last adjustment would do, so he kept his hands on hold.

Atletico once again switched from defence to attack, with football quickly reaching the feet of second-half substitute Alda Turan, with Koke, Thiago, Mario Suarez and Antoine Griezmann infiltrating Real Madrid's defensive half in different directions.

Atletico Madrid players wearing red and white striped shirts are particularly visible on the pitch and have a strong visual impact.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands subconsciously let out a burst of exclamations: "Oh, oh, oh-"

Ancelotti, who was in deep thought, was stunned and instantly realized that the situation was not good.

However, at this moment, Alda Turan suddenly showed a long leg in the path of Griezmann's through ball.

"Tang Zheng !!"

He Wei, the central 5 commentator, subconsciously shouted.

Tang Zheng's timing of falling to the ground and putting the shovel was very well controlled, and his foot shape was also very good, just stopping the football with the instep of his foot.

Koke intercepted Tang Zheng's running route, so he stopped on the spot and then reached out to poke the ball, but Tang Zheng was more frequent at his feet, poking the ball with his toes to Tony Kroos next to him when he fell to the ground.

After Toni Kroos got the ball, he had a wide field of vision, and he had already picked up his right foot and was about to make a long pass directly to Cristiano Ronaldo, but his ears suddenly heard Tang Zheng shouting: "Tony, pass it to me!"

Instinctively, Toni Kroos quickly retracted his foot and pushed the ball forward with the arch of his foot.

At this time, Tang Zheng also rolled and climbed to stabilize the center of gravity of his body and ran forward.

Tang Zheng, who started it, stretched out his foot to stop the ball and accelerated towards the middle circle.

The exclamation that rang out over the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium suddenly turned into a loud shout, deafening: "Whoa—"

In the face of Thiago's frontal defense, Tang Zheng quickly shook his right foot above the football and quickly shot the ball, and then slammed the ball to the left with the outside of his left instep.

Pedal the bike!

After nearly 90 minutes of running, Thiago was already stretched thin in terms of physical fitness, and he had no time to react to Tang Zheng's realistic feints.

Tang Zheng, who had passed Thiago, did not dribble the ball again, and he sent a through ball with the arch of his left foot more than 30 meters in front of Alda Turan in front of him.

Tang Zheng finished the pass and jumped on his left foot, quickly jumping to avoid a vicious tackle from Alda Turan.

The ball rolled quickly on the tip of her right foot shoveled against the turf by Alda Turan and rolled towards the rib space between Godin and Juanfran .

Cristiano Ronaldo, who disappeared for most of the second half, was like a wild horse in the run, and Juanfran didn't pull behind him, and could only watch Cristiano Ronaldo take the ball into the penalty area......
