At 8 p.m. on December 1, Barcelona's home match against Athletic Bilbao precedes the Madrid derby.

After 90 minutes, Barcelona won 5-1 against Athletic Bilbao to open up a four-point gap to Atletico Madrid in the standings.

At 22 o'clock in the evening, at the Bernabeu Stadium, with the referee's whistle, the Madrid derby match between Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid in the 14th round of the 2012/2013 La Liga season began.

There was no other La Liga match at the same time, and the eyes of countless media and fans throughout Spain, and indeed around the world, were focused on the Bernabeu, the home of Real Madrid.

Hundreds of millions of fans and football people are watching the first leg of the Madrid derby of the new La Liga season, as well as Zhang Huasong's first derby performance.

Naturally, there are also countless coaches and fans who pay attention to what Mourinho said about restricting Zhang Huasong, wanting to see if the magic bird really has a way to restrict Zhang Huasong or just set off smoke bombs before the game.

After the start of the game, everyone found out what Mourinho said was the way to limit Zhang Huasong: he asked Ghanaian Buffalo Essien, who is on loan from Chelsea, to keep Zhang Huasong close to defend all the time.

As a black man, Essien is physically fit, agile, explosive and fast, and has accurate predictions and fierce scrambles.

Even though there is a bit of a gap with Zhang Huasong in terms of speed, in terms of explosiveness and starting reaction, Essien is not too far behind. In a sprint of around 10 metres, Essien was not significantly behind.

As long as Zhang Huasong doesn't start at the first time, Essien can stick up and use his body and experience to defend and interfere.

Zhang Huasong's physical fitness is mainly reflected in endurance, speed, and bounce, and Zhang Huasong is really not a muscular man in terms of weight.

Although it is not easy to be knocked down by Essien, it is only a match at best. Essien's collision often deformed Zhang Huasong's technical movements and delayed the fighter.

Although Zhang Huasong was not completely restricted, Essien at least caused a lot of interference to Zhang Huasong.

Moreover, in terms of the team's overall tactics, Mourinho also disregarded the face of the Galaxy Battleship and played a defensive counterattack at the Bernabeu at his home stadium, which even attracted boos from some Real Madrid's own fans.

But Mourinho's self-centered personality has determined that he will never rush to attack in order to save the face of Real Madrid fans, even if it is a city derby between sworn rivals.

Moreover, his tactics really played a role.

Because of Essien's tireless close defense and Real Madrid's overall defensive tactics, Zhang Huasong has not scored a goal in the entire first half.

Zhang Huasong once had a shot after a breakthrough and two free kicks from a good distance, but three shots did not go in, and today's goal luck does not seem to be on Zhang Huasong's side.

Of course, Zhang Huasong's lack of shooting opportunities is also related to the lack of support from Atletico Madrid's midfield.

Atletico Madrid, under Simeone's tutelage, was originally a team that was good at playing defensive counter-attacks.

If it is against a weak team to play a defensive counterattack, then it is okay for Atletico Madrid to directly crush the past with its overall strength. But when Real Madrid also played defensive counterattacks, Atletico Madrid's midfield did not dare to press unscrupulously.

After all, the speed and power of the Real Madrid attack line composed of Ronaldo, Benzema, and Ozil should not be underestimated, but they cannot be counterattacked by Real Madrid because of a large-scale attack.

Both teams are cautious to defend and counterattack, and the scene is naturally ugly and difficult to score!

Even Zhang Huasong's world-class speed, master dribbling, and master shots failed to bring a goal, let alone others.

In the entire first half, the two sides combined for only seven goals in the woodwork, without a single goal, and the two sides played to a 0-0 draw in the first 45 minutes.

It seems that Essien's close defense against Zhang Huasong really works. Moreover, the overall tactics of defensive counterattacks also made Atletico Madrid unable to speak.

At halftime, Zhang Huasong was a little depressed.

From Zhang Huasong's point of view, Essien's defensive strength is master, and it can be on par with Zhang Huasong's master-level dribbling.

And Zhang Huasong's speed and explosiveness are also limited than Essin's. As a result, Zhang Huasong's one-on-one with Essien in the first half was occasionally successful, but it never led to a goal.

Such a result naturally made Zhang Huasong, who wanted to complete a hat trick at the Bernabeu, quite depressed.

Real Madrid, as expected, lives up to its reputation, and is different from the other opponents Zhang Huasong has encountered before! Both the coach and the players are at a much higher level.

Just when Zhang Huasong was feeling depressed, Simeone praised the team's performance in the first half in the locker room.

You must know that Atletico Madrid, which was also led by Simeone last season, was killed by Real Madrid in two legs.

Now being able to draw with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and at Real Madrid's home stadium in the first half has already satisfied Simeone.

However, the game is not over yet, Simeone still has to continue to fight for the victory and cannot be satisfied with a 0-0 draw.

In the first half of the game, Simeone also saw that the Ghanaian Buffalo Essien did create a lot of trouble for Zhang Huasong, and Zhang Huasong's breakthrough was not as sharp as in the previous games.

Therefore, Simeone asked Zhang Huasong to reduce one-on-one dribbles against Essien in the second half, and increase the stop-and-go turning and back-and-forth sprints in off-ball running, which consumed Essien's physical strength.

Simeone believes that Essien's physical strength is definitely not comparable to Zhang Huasong, who set the marathon world record.

After explaining Zhang Huasong's task, Simeone instructed Aguero, Falcao and others to reduce the ball passed to Zhang Huasong in the front court in the second half. When they have the chance, they dribble the ball themselves and break through as often as possible to create free-kicks up front.

As long as there is a free-kick, Essien is useless. Zhang Huasong can directly kick the free kick as a penalty, as long as the free kick reaches a certain number, Zhang Huasong will always score.

Zhang Huasong's free kick skills, everyone is convinced!

Everyone believes that as long as Zhang Huasong is given enough free kick opportunities, Zhang Huasong's goal is almost undoubted.

While Simeone was planning the second half in the away dressing room, Jose Mourinho in the home dressing room was also planning Real Madrid's second-half tactics.

Although Essien and the rest of Real Madrid's players seemed to limit Zhang Huasong in the first half and did not allow Zhang Huasong to score. However, Zhang Huasong still got a chance to shoot, but it was just a bad goal.

Mourinho didn't dare to bet that Zhang Huasong couldn't score in the second half.

Therefore, in order not to lose, Real Madrid must also attack. Not for the sake of the fans' face, but for the sake of victory.

Jose Mourinho asked Essien and other players to defend more closely against Zhang Huasong, while attacking players such as Cristiano Ronaldo needed to play more concisely, quickly and efficiently on the counter-attack.

Madrid derby, Real Madrid must win!

While Mourinho was chattering about tactics, Essien was quietly taking a deep breath in the corner.

He's tired!

Essien had only suffered a serious injury in the previous two seasons and lost his place at Chelsea, but after recovering from injury, he spent the season on loan at Real Madrid, where he was given a number of opportunities to play under Jose Mourinho, which he cherished.

Before the game, Mourinho handed over the responsibility of defending Zhang Huasong to Essien, and Essien still felt very honored!

In recent times, Zhang Huasong can be said to be the hottest superstar in football. The goal efficiency of more than 2 goals per game shocked the world!

If he can contain Zhang Huasong in this world-famous Madrid derby, then his strength and status will be more widely recognized.

That way, even if Chelsea don't have a place for him, he doesn't have to worry about where to go.

As a result, Zhang Huasong's starting reaction, sprint speed, and dribbling skills all made Esin suffer a lot in the first half.

I usually watch Zhang Huasong's game highlights and don't feel that only when he competes with Zhang Huasong face-to-face on the field, Essien tastes the bitterness.

In order to keep up with Zhang Huasong's starting reaction and sprint speed, Essien had to concentrate all his energy and physical strength to defend Zhang Huasong.

Even Essien, who is known for his abundant physical strength, was dragged by Zhang Huasong until his lungs exploded after only 45 minutes!

Although he didn't fall too far behind on the scene, it was because Essien had overdrawn too much physical strength!

He knew that with Zhang Huasong's physical strength to hold the marathon world record, he would definitely not be able to compare. In the second half, if Zhang Huasong continues to fight with him like in the first half, he doesn't know how long he can last!

But he couldn't admit directly to Mourinho that he was too physically exhausted and might not last long in the second half. That would be tantamount to directly admitting his own defeat and losing his place in the Real Madrid team.

Anyway, Essien decided that even if he fought to cramps in the second half, he had to withstand Zhang Huasong's impact.

The 15-minute halftime passed quickly and the second half continued.

Although Simeone adjusted his second-half tactics at half-time in pursuit of victory, it was Real Madrid who scored first.

In the 47th minute, Falcao followed Simeone's instructions to dribble the ball in the front court, but not only did not cause the opponent's foul to get a free kick, but was cut off by the opponent and directly counterattacked.

Jose Mourinho's counter-attacking team has always been very efficient and has not lost to Simeone.

The Real Madrid player who got the ball passed the ball directly to the front, and Ronaldo, Ozil, and Benzema in the front court quickly plugged in, forming a three-on-four situation.

In the end, after only two passes, Ozil set up Cristiano Ronaldo to kick the ball into the goal of David De Gea.

Cristiano Ronaldo made good on his pre-match promise by scoring in the Madrid derby to give Real Madrid a 1-0 lead at home to Atletico Madrid.

At that moment, the entire Bernabeu was like a boiling volcano, as if it was about to burn all the away players and fans to ashes!

The proud Real Madrid actually played a defensive counterattack at home, and the fans of Real Madrid held back a lot of anger in the first half, and now they were finally released by Ronaldo's goal!

There are less than 10,000 Atletico Madrid away fans, and they can't even make a sound!

This is the risk of Simeone letting Falcao, Aguero and others break through with the ball: it is possible that the breakthrough will not be able to be countered by the opponent's broken ball.

After being counterattacked by the opponent and losing the ball, Zhang Huasong and others turned their heads to look at the sidelines, only to see Simeone make a gesture to continue to insist on playing, and did not give up because of losing the ball.

As the game continued, Zhang Huasong reduced the time to get the ball and increased the number of off-ball runs in the back and forth sprints according to Simeone's tactical arrangement.

Ten minutes into the second half, he sensed that Essien was a little out of his pace.

While not yet obvious, Essien's defensive intensity against him is indeed decreasing.

Sometimes Zhang Huasong ran to the empty space, and Essien didn't keep up, so the so-called close defense naturally didn't exist.

In the 59th minute, Falcao faced Real Madrid right-back Arbeloa at the front of the big ban zone and chose to break through, but was tackled to the ground by Arbeloa.

Falcao rubbed his leg for a while and stood up unharmed, but Arbeloa received a yellow card and awarded Atletico a free-kick more than 30 metres from Real Madrid's goal.

Zhang Huasong finally seized the opportunity and sent the ball into the goal of Casillas with a wonderful arc.

At that moment, the cheers of thousands of Atletico Madrid fans overshadowed the boos of tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans.

In the 72nd minute, Zhang Huasong received a pass from Aguero's inverted third corner in a gap.

Essien didn't put it on in time, causing Zhang Huasong to calmly pass the ball to Falcao on the other side, Falcao shot angrily in the big forbidden area, and the ball flew into the net like a cannonball, and Atletico Madrid took the score 2-1.

At that moment, Mourinho on the sidelines scolded Essien angrily.

Obviously, this goal Essien did not defend in time, allowing Zhang Huasong to calmly assist Falcao, which was the main reason for this conceded goal, and it is no wonder that Mourinho scolded Essien.

However, Mourinho did not replace Essien!

Wise as a magic bird, he didn't expect that Esin, known as the Ghanaian buffalo, would almost exhaust his physical strength before the end of a game.

It wasn't that Essien didn't see Zhang Huasong's running and danger just now, but that his physical strength didn't keep up, which caused Zhang Huasong to get rid of him, run to the gap to receive the ball and calmly assist Falcao to score.

Mourinho was quick to pay for his failure to detect Essien's lack of energy in time.

In the 81st minute, Zhang Huasong got rid of Essien at the edge of the forbidden area and received a pass from Turan and was able to turn calmly.

Turning around to face Zhang Huasong, who was facing the goal, and facing Essien, who was 1 second late, he came to a continuous bicycle pedaling.

With Essien's defensive experience, he should not have been shaken down by Zhang Huasong's bicycle, but after Zhang Huasong stepped on three bicycles as if it were real or fake, Essien, who shook his body left and right while retreating to block Zhang Huasong's forward angle, was weak with his left foot and collapsed to the ground without any contact.

Zhang Huasong quickly burst into the no-ken' zone from the right of Essien and shot decisively before Khedira blocked the angle.

The ball flew past Khedira's feet and slid against the turf into the bottom right corner of the Real Madrid goal.

Casillas couldn't make a save, so he could only pounce on the ground and watch the ball fly past his fingertips and into the back of the net.

With Zhang Huasong's brace and Falcao's goal, Atletico Madrid led Real Madrid 3-1 at the Bernabeu!
