High press is very physically demanding, while full-court press is so demanding that even Atletico Madrid's physical fitness cannot support them for a long time.

Twenty minutes into the first half, Atletico Madrid's running coverage area dropped significantly, and Tang Zheng, who was extremely capable of reading the game, realized something.

As the midfield commander of the Real Madrid team's tactics, Tang Zheng has a high degree of freedom, but he did not directly participate in the team's attack at the first time, but slowly stepped forward with the amplitude of the football's forward penetration, giving people a feeling of being a passing point.

Despite this, Atletico Madrid captain Gabi is still eyeing Tang Zheng.

Through a series of passes, the Atletico Madrid players had a brief defensive gap on the right side of their own defense, that is, as the football moved, Gabi's attention to Tang Zheng decreased.

Tang Zheng, who has a strong ability to read the game, has a wide field of vision, and he does not stop the ball and directly makes a long pass to find the right-back Abeloa who opens up the width of the attack on the right side.

Atletico limited Real Madrid's overall attack by compressing space, and the far defense naturally had to shrink towards the middle, and Arbeloa unloaded the ball without pressure, and then there was time to pause and look up to see his teammates in the box.

Left-back Siqueira returned to the left side of the defence but Abeloa didn't give him time to get closer, picking up his right foot.

Siqueira thought that Abeloa was going to take the ball directly into the box at 45 degrees on the right side of the attack, so he subconsciously jumped and prepared to use his body to expand the defensive area to block Arbeloa's cross.

However, he regretted it as soon as he jumped, and Arbeloa made a full gesture to cross but chose to quickly kick the football sideways to the top of the arc of the penalty area.

Everyone's attention followed the rolling of the football to the top of the arc of the penalty area, and suddenly, the Real Madrid fans subconsciously let out a burst of chanting.

"Hold him!"

At the same time, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone waved his arms excitedly and shouted at Gabi, who was dragging and dragging.

Gabi was half a position behind Tang Zheng when he started, and when Tang Zheng was fully starting, he was already stuck in position, and there was no way but to pull and pull behind him.

But Tang Zheng, who rushed up, had a lot of strength and inertia, and the long legs stretched forward, stopped at the football passed by Arbeloa, and then quickly handed it to Cristiano Ronaldo, who made a quick stop and turned his back to the goal.

Because Gabi's hand movements were so obvious, referee Belakos whistled in his mouth, but the ball rolled towards Cristiano Ronaldo, so the whistle did not sound.

The football was not at Tang Zheng's feet, and Gabi hurriedly let go.

However, the rapid change of the game situation made him very regretful, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had space to meet the ball and turn around, did not stop the ball and directly knocked it back to Tang Zheng, who continued to run forward.

Tang Zheng is tall and has long legs, and when he runs, he uses his right foot to lead the ball into the penalty area and enter the penalty area.

Godin, who stepped forward, saw Tang Zheng's right foot gently dunk the ball to the left, as if he wanted to open up the passing space to pass the ball to Benzema, who was diagonally inserted behind him, and he immediately made a decision without extra time to think, trying to stretch out his foot to poke the football that temporarily left Tang Zheng's right foot.

Tang Zheng has a foot frequency beyond his height, the outside of his right foot slammed the ball to the right, Godin was too late to retract his foot, and the inside of his right foot that he stretched out just kicked Tang Zheng's right foot.

"Beep~"

The referee on duty, Belakos, blew the whistle decisively and pointed his right index finger at the penalty spot.

"Whoa—"

Suddenly, the Bernabéu stadium resounded with the deafening huge chant of Real Madrid fans, cheering for Real Madrid who won the penalty!

※※※

Atletico Madrid players instantly surrounded referee Belakos, signaling that Godin did not touch Tang Zheng, and it was Tang Zheng who faked a fall.

Godin, who committed the foul, also got up and spread his hands innocently, indicating that he did not kick Tang Zheng.

The Real Madrid players certainly don't give the Atletico players a chance to convince the referee, so it's only natural that there will be verbal altercations and physical contact.

At this time, the first assistant referee entered the field in time to intervene and played a key role, and the players on both sides quickly calmed down under the sharp whistle of referee Belakos.

At the same time, Simeone excitedly walked to the fourth official and complained about the referee's misjudgment.

But his complaint did not help, and the fourth official shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression.

Ancelotti, on the contrary, looked up at the Atletico penalty area with his hands in his pockets.

Immediately, the live director restored the truth, and from the broadcast screen, it can be clearly seen that Tang Zheng's outer instep of his right foot was the first step to remove the football, and Godin's action was slightly slower by half a beat, so he kicked Tang Zheng's right foot.

Tang Zheng fell in the penalty area because the center of gravity was destroyed by Godin's defensive movements, and there was no problem with the penalty.

Seeing the resolute attitude of the referee Belakos, the Atletico Madrid players did not say anything more.

In a high-level event like this, everyone knows whether to commit a foul or not, and the referee is quite resolute in its decision, and the endless dissatisfaction will only make it worse.

Tang Zheng helped Real Madrid win a valuable penalty, and the team's top penalty taker Cristiano Ronaldo stood at the penalty spot, facing goalkeeper Moya very calmly, and sent the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal with a low shot to help Real Madrid equalize.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands were very excited, they thought that Atletico Madrid's defense was solid and it would take time to equalize, but the equaliser less than 15 minutes after conceding also meant that the team had more time to equalize!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal, was particularly excited in the frenzied atmosphere of the game, and he excitedly ran to the corner flag area on the right side of the attack to make his trademark celebration.

Of course, he did not forget Tang Zheng, who created the penalty, and vented the pressure of the equalizer with his teammates after completing his personal celebration.

The game restarted, and Real Madrid, who equalized the score, was full of momentum in a frenzied home atmosphere, and once pressed Atletico Madrid into their own defensive half.

Thankfully, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone was very good at arranging on the spot, and he quickly resolved the defensive pressure his team was currently experiencing by noting complex tactical gesture changes on the sidelines.

In the 31st minute, Tang Zheng cut off the ball at the feet of Koke at the back, and then the ball passed Thiago to get a long pass, and the football accurately found Cristiano Ronaldo, who was inserted at high speed on the left side.

Cristiano Ronaldo looked a little impatient under Godin's defensive strategy of fighting and retreating, and he chose to shoot low from the left side of the box.

The ball went past Moya's fingers, but it also missed the right-hand post of the goal.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is getting better and better!"

Yang 5 commentator He Wei said excitedly.

In the past two minutes, Tang Zheng attacked the right side of his own side after receiving a cross pass from Modric in the half-circle arc of Atletico Madrid's defense, a posture that was obviously about to make a long pass to the right, but he unexpectedly passed in the opposite direction, and the football was accurately given to the feet of Coentrão, who was inserted at high speed on the left.

Unfortunately, a quick low cross from the left flank was kicked off the line by Godin, who was defending at the front post, and only won a corner.

Although there was no direct threat to goalkeeper Moya in the goal, the Real Madrid fans were very excited, and the cheers they created were higher and higher.

Atletico continued to defend passively, and Simeone had new concerns in his mind.

He really didn't expect Tang Zheng's state to be so good, and he played with ease in the case of key defense, except that he didn't send the last pass in person, but his offensive planning and key transfer of the ball were fast and accurate, and he was extremely good at controlling the fleeting opportunity in the blink of an eye.

"Don's play must be restricted!"

Simeone looked at Tang Zheng, who ran towards the penalty area and was about to fight for the top corner, and muttered.

The problem is that Tang Zheng is very far behind, and if he is heavily defended, it will lead to a huge gap between the guard line and the front line.

After thinking about it, I had to focus on Tang Zheng's passing route.

Although there is no way to completely curb Tang Zheng's play, if Tang Zheng can be cut off from other Real Madrid players, I believe the effect will be good.

※※※

"Beep~"

Referee Belakos blew the whistle to signal the end of the first half of the Madrid derby in the third round of the 2014-2015 La Liga, and the scoreboard showed no change in the scoreboard, which was still 1:1.

The close-up of the live director showed Atletico Madrid manager Simeone walking towards the player's tunnel, smiling and no longer had the tension after conceding the goal.

Obviously, cutting off the passing routes of Tang Zheng and the rest of Real Madrid's players worked, except for a wide range of long passes and return passes, the 15-metre radius of the pass, including the horizontal pass, was completely cut off.

It is equivalent to saying that Tang Zheng can only play a role in stabilizing the rhythm and transition, and it is difficult to directly launch an attack to create a threat.

Therefore, the score did not change until the end of the first half, and the two sides entered the dressing room with a score of 1:1.

The frenetic atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu has taken a dip, with many fans leaving their seats to buy food and drinks from the stadium shop to replenish the energy they have spent in the last 45 minutes.

While the players of both sides entered the dressing room, the TV commentator who has the right to broadcast the live broadcast of this round of La Liga from all over the world commented on the first half that had just ended.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray looked at the highlights of the first half and said: "The first half of the game was extremely technical and tactical, Real Madrid was able to equalize or Don relied on his outstanding individual ability to open the exit, but with Diego Simeone's adjustment of defensive tactics, Don's play has also become mediocre, but I believe the second half will be more exciting." ”

"Don is positioned very far behind, even further than Luka Modric, which also makes it impossible for him to be involved in the attack with impunity. Speaking guest Martin Taylor tapped his head, and suddenly changed his words: "I feel that Carlo Ancelotti should be more bold, Real Madrid is thinking about winning at the Bernabeu Stadium rather than pursuing undefeated, because the current Real Madrid is five points behind Barcelona in the first game, and winning has become urgent!

Central 5 commentator He Wei focused on the intensity of the Madrid derby in the first leg of the 2014-2015 season, saying: "Atletico Madrid tried to conquer the Bernabeu with their practical actions, but the defensive action of the Atletico Madrid players was too large, and there were 12 fouls in the 45 minutes of the first half, while Real Madrid only had four, and the referee Belakos whistle was relatively soft, and only gave Atletico Madrid player Godin a yellow card, maybe his soft scale will lay the groundwork for the fierce game in the second half......"

In the first half, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid can be said to have played half the time each, so the 1:1 score is very fair for both sides.

The clock flew by quickly, and at the end of the fifteen-minute half-time break, the players from both sides came to the players' tunnel from their dressing rooms and then entered the pitch from the players' tunnel to fight for the forty-five minutes of the second half.

Draw, win or lose, it depends on how the second half plays.

Yibian rematched, and neither side made any changes to the starting lineup at the beginning of the game.

But the managers of both sides were nervous, and they stood in their respective command areas and watched the field with their brows furrowed, staring at the field.

The fans on both sides in the stands were full of passion, creating a huge chant like a tsunami.

The players on the pitch also seemed to be affected by the frenetic atmosphere of the scene and played excitedly.

The excitement of a normal game goes a long way to watch, but the Madrid derby is a different story.

The excitement of a player is meant to play at his best, or even at a higher level, but sometimes excitement means that it is difficult to control his movements.

The defensive actions of the two sides are getting bigger and bigger, and the hot atmosphere of the game is getting stronger and stronger, and the saber is rattling.

There was a period of gunpowder in the first half, and the second half escalated instantly with Koke's tackle on Modric.

Real Madrid's vice-captain Ramos, who is closest to the place of the incident, questioned his national teammate Koke, and his saliva splashed in the face.

Gabi naturally wouldn't let Ramos bully his little brother Coke, and pushed Ramos away with both hands as soon as possible.

The force was so great that Ramos almost fell to the ground with his center of gravity unstable.

Pepe and Abeloa are also not good people, and they used to push Gabi.

Seeing that the physical altercation was about to escalate further, referee Belrakos's whistle sounded, and the two assistant referees also ran onto the pitch and intervened.

Players on both sides are not all hot-headed to find trouble with each other, players such as Tang Zheng, James Rodriguez, Isco, the party Koke, Thiago and other players are very calm and play the role of peacemakers to avoid the escalation of physical conflicts between the two sides.

After all, they all know that they are not here to make trouble for each other, but to win the game!

Since you are looking for a win in the game, there is no need to focus on hurting the other party.

Soon the clash between the two sides eased, and the physical players left the site where Cork tackled Modric.

Of course, referee Belakos did not forget which players acted aggressively and settled the score.

Coke for the foul, Ramos and Gabi each received a yellow card for the foul, and the emotional Pepe, Arberoa and Raul Garcia each received a warning.

Despite this, the Real Madrid fans in the stands made a huge boo and sent it to the referee on duty: "Woo woo woo-"

In the hearts of Real Madrid fans, Real Madrid players are sacrosanct, and Atletico Madrid players who violate their players will receive a red card, especially Koke!
