162 chapter 162
Without waiting to hear the commentary and complain, the audience's attention was focused on Benzema with the ball. The Frenchman handled the ball very calmly, and he was not annoyed that he failed to cut inside twice after two attempts, after all, the game had just begun, and Ronaldo in the penalty area failed to run in place for a while, and finally this round of attack spelled down a corner.
Because there wasn't much competition for a corner kick in the box, Forlan entered the box and got involved in a header scramble. The corner kick was driven directly into the penalty area, and there was chaos in front of the Atletico goal, and Forlan, who jumped high, immediately headed the ball when he felt the football flying, and the direction in which the football flew was Bale, who was accidentally released by Atletico Madrid. Bale shot straight at goal with no one on guard, but the force was too hard and hit the plane.
Such a great chance to score was not successful, Bale is also hard to believe, after all, Ronaldo is the key defensive target of Atletico, there is nothing wrong with Forlan choosing to pass to Bale, and the wave shooting is also an experience that everyone has experienced.
Hey, but the Portuguese still feel so angry, so angry!
Atletico Madrid's home fans breathed a sigh of relief after the catastrophe, and the crowd in the penalty area dispersed slightly before revealing the side of the dispute. Isco stood between Forlan and Atletico defender Godin, his expression not looking good, as if he was questioning something, and behind him was Fran, who was covering the lower half of his face.
When the camera came, it was just in time for Fran to reach out and grab the collar of his little teammate, who was nearly ten centimeters shorter than Fran, and the scene between the two people should have been funny, but Fran put down his hand covering his nose to reveal the red under his nose, only to find out that he was injured in the scramble and had a bleeding nose.
In the replay, it can be seen that Fran was elbowed by Godin, who was also in the process of taking off while landing, and it is difficult to determine whether this action was deliberate or coincidental. The referee had to temporarily suspend the game and let Forlan receive treatment, Ancelotti was worried on the sidelines, fortunately it was not a big problem, and he could restart the game after the bleeding stopped, otherwise he could not imagine what this too young backline would have become after losing Forlan as a shocker.
The game restarted, Atletico Madrid got the opportunity to counterattack, of course, they would not let go, Turan won the ball in the midfield, Griezmann and Mandzukic next to him were ready to start, and the offensive line continued to advance in a stable state. The three-man midfield combination of Khedira, Kroos and Isco is something Ancelotti has to do in the face of a large number of injuries, and the three have been more cooperative in the Real Madrid midfield in the past, and at this moment there is no advantage in the midfield competition for Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid were given the icebreaker by Antoine Griezmann, a Frenchman who moved from Real Sociedad to Atletico Madrid this season, who has already impressed the hearts of the Sheets and their fans with his handsome appearance and superb skills.
But despite Griezmann being such a good young man, when people mention the next striker superstar that La Liga will promote, most people will think that it is Neymar, and subconsciously will not give Griezmann the same attention.
Judging from the season data, Griezmann and Neymar are indistinguishable, and even faintly superior. It seems that there is no competition, but if you think about it carefully, there are many things in common, such as age, such as height, such as the main position, such as appearance, which are all loved by female fans, and maybe also... All have an aesthetic level that makes people confused.
In the past year or two, Atletico Madrid's super high level has indeed been able to fight with Barcelona, but it has never been of the same magnitude in terms of team influence. In the 90s of the last century, Barcelona, which was ridiculed as a nouveau riche by all over Europe, successfully entered the 21st century, with the support of celebrities, superstars, and honorary crowns, and has already turned and evolved into a giant. It is true that the Bosman Act ruined the former powerhouse Ajax and made the Eredivisie less competitive in Europe, but Barcelona, which benefited the most, is still the dream of countless Dutchmen, and crowds of lads flock to it.
And then again, even if Atletico Madrid becomes the new champion of La Liga last season, even if Atletico Madrid puts Real Madrid out of the psychological shadow, and even can't find the area of the shadow part, the cynicism of the Rummenigges shows that they still don't take this club seriously. 'Sheet Army' is really a sexy title, but it's just a pity that it is far from being sexy enough. And Griezmann, who was born in the royal society, has become a real underworld under Simeone's account, although he is no longer responsible for robbing homes and houses.
When Neymar, who became famous at a young age, won one championship after another and MVP titles in the Brazilian Cup, the continental league, and the Brazilian league, and was praised as Pele's successor by all Brazil, Griezmann could only work hard in La Liga in his SpongeBob SquarePants lucky briefs. Although Atletico's status as the leading goalscorer now proves that he is a late bloomer, it is still considered a little worse than Neymar.
Back in the game, Griezmann, who had the ball, went straight down and faced Carvajal and Varane in the corner area, in which case the Frenchman opted for a coquettish back-heel pass, and Koke, who had the ball, wanted to cut in and cross low to face Forlan, who had already defended his position. Forlan was indifferent to Koke's tentative two diversionary feints, and the Real Madrid veteran's performance couldn't help but remind Cork of the image of Messi being blown out in the first half of the national derby.
Just after his twenty-third birthday, Cork was full of confidence, but Forlan was not in the mood to wait for his brain to make up for it, and before his next trick, he reached out and poked the ball, which rolled to Coentrand's feet. Coentrão, who had the ball, did not hesitate to implement a counter-attack plan, leaving only Forlan and Coke who were unrewarded after closing their feet.
Fran had already run far away, and learning to adjust to the least strenuous pace was one of the best techniques he had mastered in months. Coke, who was stunned in place, still didn't react, after all, in his and their eyes, under this kind of one-on-one marking, Fran's more choices are to use his body to force the opponent, he thought that he might be squeezed out of position, and he also thought about being shoveled by Fran's back after shaking, these are his consistent choices, but what he didn't expect was that just such a light stab broke the deadlock.
In European football, defenders who want to achieve high status and attention generally need to have excellent offensive skills, such as Sergio Ramos. Forlan's current status is largely due to the fact that he is fortunate to stay in the high-profile Real Madrid, where many defenders are not easily recognized by the outside world even if they have good defensive skills. It all comes down to the fact that a defender's every move is nowhere near as expressive as in other positions.
The more difficult the action to overcome, the more concise it is, and the simple action is not easy for people to detect the hidden murderous motives. It's like a slight stab under the camera, which doesn't look like a sliding shovel showing a killing aura, but the professionals understand that it's all because Fran has the right time. From this point, no matter how lightly this freehand blow is, you can see the rich handling experience and anticipation of this defensive boss.
Since this defense, when commentators want to judge Fran's interception or assistance defense, they have subconsciously abandoned the recent direct judgment that 'although his **** was successful, it is obviously a helpless choice', but to consider whether there is any other deep meaning in this. The stats show that his running stats are declining, his sliding tackles are decreasing, his anticipatory interceptions are steadily rising, and his defensive success rate is still high.
Apparently Fran has found a new direction in his career, and the forced cooking of sentimental chicken soup seems both pointless and unstoppable.
Koke returned to the team's attacking career after this time, perhaps because the idea of making a contribution was too deep, but he suddenly suffered a muscle strain during the tug-of-war in midfield and was replaced by Simeone with Saul.
Kork in '92, Saul in '94, Antoine Griezmann in '91 and perhaps Carvajal in '92, Varane in '93, Isco in '92 and Kroos in '90. On the football field, there are generations of talents, and it seems that a generation of new people has replaced the old. But as long as the veterans are not willing to concede, this will not be just a new era for young people.
Once you start to focus on Fran's changes, you can actually learn a lot. Perhaps because of the fact that he was able to catch up with the back-start in the past, he is now difficult to operate, and he is not so much running with men as without the ball when he retreats from the defense. And when everyone, whether it's their teammates or the opponent with the ball, runs into position, they will find that the position he is standing on is the opponent's most likely point of play.
Of course, all of this is based on the success of their team-mates in defending head-on, Carvajal and Varane are a little younger in this game, but if Ramos or Marcelo are there, the power will be even more prominent.
And when he defends frontally, he is able to successfully block many times with his strong body, separating the attacker from the football. His movements weren't as ferocious, at least as mild as the former Fran who was used to shoveling, but the sense of urgency he felt was undiminished, and he only felt twice as threatening in his seemingly comfortable moves.
There are many people watching this Madrid derby, including Raul, who is trying to make money in the United States at the end of his career, and Guti, who is now in the Real Madrid academy but still often feels empty and lonely.
A while ago, Guti was interviewed and said that no one contacted him after retiring, and Fran, who had a good relationship with Guti in the public eye, was innocently affected. Faced with the statement that some of your idols have such a good relationship with you why you don't play with him, Fran endured it for a long time before swallowing the words "Do you know that Lao Tzu TM has not retired yet".
Guti was one of the first members of the group to retire, and both Raul, Fran and Cassie were trying to hold on to the tail of their careers to make a difference. If the few people who were already anxious about dealing with their own problems were not very aware of Guti's habitual tossing and arrogant temperament, they would not have just dealt with it with a simple blank eye.
Despite the reality, Raul, who has been with Guti for so many years, did not react like Fran, but made an appointment to return to Madrid to watch the game with Guti. At the beginning of the game, the two of them could still maintain the mode of complaining and commenting, and the time continued, and Guti gradually watched the game in silence until the score of 0-0 entered the halftime break.
When Guti turned his head to look at Raul, he didn't miss the uncertainty and surprise in his eyes, which were also very obvious.
Strong, fast, ferocious, crisp, stuck, predict, intercept. Even if the location didn't match, it didn't prevent Guti from asking Raul.
"Why do I suddenly think that kid is a bit like Fernando?"
The good idol is Baresi, why did you follow Redondo's example!
The author has something to say: I don't have anything to dislike about lattice, and there is nothing I don't like about SpongeBob SquarePants
To be reasonable, I have always felt that Guti's words hahahahaha are like a baby who has been wronged and is coquettish
