"The first half is over! Atletico Madrid lead Real Madrid 2-1 at home! It was their number one striker Jardel who scored for Atletico in the first half with a goalmouth shot and then scored Atletico's second goal from the penalty spot! It was his seventh goal of the season in La Liga! Seven goals in six league games, what a terrible goalscoring ability, and now he is so far ahead of the scorers' charts! The goal for Real Madrid was scored by French superstar Zinedine Zidane, who moved in the summer for the world's number one price, and he equalized for Real Madrid with a brilliant world wave. However, it is clear that the absence of Carlos and Figo has caused Real Madrid to suffer a lot in midfield and defensively, and if there is no good change in this regard, Real Madrid may be a little dangerous in this game......"

If the commentator's words were heard by Bosque in the away team's dressing room, he could only smile wryly - change? How to change? No matter how good a manager is, he has to have the right players to change, Carlos is not there, Raul Bravo is not doing well, who else can he replace? The combination of Pavon and Campo is already the best centre-back combination he can come up with right now, Karanka is injured and Hierro is not in good shape, who can he replace? As for the midfield...... The lack of strength at the back is already an old problem, but only one Zidane came in the summer, and none of the midfielders and central defenders he wanted came......

For this kind of thinking, Bosque can only choose to be speechless, in fact, most managers can't see this, even if they see it, there is no good way, their team is not strong enough, can not press Real Madrid's back line through the midfield, and Dick has always grasped this weakness, no wonder Real Madrid did not do well with their results last year......

'In the second half, we had to take more chances in attack...... It's up to you to control the midfield, Zizou, if we can keep them at bay in midfield we can have more chances and reduce their attacking chances, which is important for this game. Bosque thought for a moment and then said to Zidane.

Zidane nodded, he knew that Bosque had only this way now, although it was very difficult to suppress Atletico Madrid's midfielder who was not lacking in running skills, but for a player like him, achieving results under such an important responsibility can prove their value!

'In the second half, Real Madrid wanted to have a good chance and there was no other way than to continue to fight us in midfield...... Because they don't have anyone to change, it's hard for them to fend off our attacks at the back, it's hard for the forward line to find any chances from our defence, and the only way to win is to use the midfield to suppress us, create more chances for them, and make our attacking chances less. It's the only way they can do it, so all we have to do is get tangled with them in midfield! The two full-backs also pressed up to create an advantage in our midfield. They can press at full-backs as well, but Carlos is not there and we have the advantage at full-backs so that we can have an advantage over them in midfield...... Don't worry about their wing attack, Figo is not there, Munitis alone can't cause too much trouble on our wing, they don't have any fast strikers, we use practical actions to tell them that after missing two main forces, no matter what link, they are not as good as us! The current Madrid derby is not what it was a few years ago! Now our overall strength is not only not worse than them, but stronger than them! ”

Atletico Madrid players have cheered, they also firmly believe in this, the current Atletico Madrid and the previous Atletico Madrid have been reborn, because Dick's good vision, the remaining players are basically excellent players, and the introduction of the same strong players and famous superstars, after Dick's two summers of operation, Atletico Madrid has been able to compete with those top teams in terms of strength!

In this case, they naturally have their own pride and self-confidence, and they may not have the bottom of their hearts to play the Champions Cup, because they lack such experience, but in the league, they are not afraid of any team at all, whether it is Real Madrid or Barcelona! Dick's character of not being afraid of heaven and earth is also imperceptibly influencing the players of Atletico Madrid.

After the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid's players started pressing Real Madrid in midfield, and Bosque's face changed a little when he saw that the two full-backs, Héctor and Capdevilla, also continued to advance into the midfield to help press and attack.

If Carlos is here, Bosque is not worried about this at all, if Carlos is there, he is confident that he only needs to have Figo and Zidane two midfielders on the field, and the left side can be left to Carlos alone, but now Figo is not there, Carlos is not there, Raul Bravo is in the midfield to help press? Bosque was really worried that his left side would be beaten into a sieve......

"Why is this little bastard specifically targeting our soft underbelly...... When Carlos was there, I didn't see you dare to fight with us like this...... "Bosque, who has always been moody, also has some anger in his heart, for example, it is normal to block the opponent's forward route when playing checkers, but I'd rather take one or two less steps to block the opponent's forward route, this is a bit disgusting, Dick could have used other methods to deal with Real Madrid, but he used this kind of practice that specifically targeted Real Madrid's temporarily weak weakness. It makes people feel that they are cheap and behaved, and deliberately disgusting your practice......

"This bastard is a nuisance." Bosque cursed inwardly.

But he scolded and scolded, but still could not prevent Atletico Madrid from gaining an advantage in the midfield, although Zidane played very well, but after all, two fists are difficult to beat four hands, Baraja and Makelele are basically following him and constantly scrambling, making it difficult for him to get the ball, at this time, Zidane has some sense that Figo's absence will affect him a lot......

Figo and Zinedine Zidane are very, very, very important to Real Madrid's midfield, and they can't do without one of them......

In the strangulation of the midfield, Atletico Madrid gradually gained the upper hand, Real Madrid's midfield is a little worse than in history, Makelele was intercepted by Dick halfway, so that Real Madrid has been lacking a strong enough waist, Cambiaso although the ability is good, but still very young, not enough to play a big role, plus Figo's absence, Real Madrid's four midfielders that were quite good are now only half left, and what kind of outstanding results can be achieved, it is really unknown......

At least under the pressure of Atletico Madrid's midfield, Real Madrid's formation was forced to gradually move back to relieve the pressure, in this case, Atletico Madrid's two high forwards began to be active, although Atletico Madrid did not let Vicente play in this game, but the bold pressure of the two full-backs made Atletico's wing attack not weak, Capdevilla and Hector crosses are not weak.

It is also because Atletico Madrid has achieved a huge advantage in the midfield that their two fullbacks dare to press boldly, you must know that under the pressure of Atletico Madrid's midfield, Raul was forced to retreat to play the forward, leaving only Morientes, and the pressure on Atletico Madrid's defense has been reduced a lot, which makes Capdevilla and Héctor appear to have no worries when they step forward.

In the seventy-fifth minute, after a continuous back and forth pass, Belleron received a pass from Camoranesi in front of Cambiaso, and then he quickly passed a straight stopper, and the sideways running Jadel blocked Pavon with his body, Campo's follow-up was a step slower, and Cruise strode forward, instantly getting rid of Campo's defense, and then caught up with the ball, forming a single knife!

In the shouts of countless Atletico Madrid fans, Cruise calmly adjusted the pace of his feet, this season he has more opportunities to play in the league than last season, but he has not scored a goal, although his contribution is not small, but for a striker, the most direct statistical evidence is still the goal!

Calmly squeezed again, Cruise saw Casillas rush out with open arms, his center of gravity was low, as if ready to pounce on the ball at any moment, Cruise raised his right foot, and the toes rose slightly as he swung it down......

Casillas was trying to lure him into shooting, and when he saw the movement of his ankles, Casillas immediately paused, ready to jump, poker Ruth's hanging shot!

However, the moment Cruise touched the ball, it turned into a push!

The ball flew quickly to the ground and rolled past Casillas, who was too late to fall to the ground - but when he pounced in embarrassment, Casillas was also convinced, and such a terrifyingly calm shooter seemed to be nothing unconvinced by his goal......

Especially since he had been in a goal drought for a long time! It's really surprising that he can be so calm in this situation......

Cruise rushed to the bottom of the stands with open arms, and it was indeed a joy to break his goal drought in such an important game, and it was only after rushing to the bottom of the stands that he turned and opened his arms to face his team-mates who pounced.

Dick laughed off the field, he slapped his face, Cruise really lived up to his expectations, in this game, Dick used up two goal cards in one go, one was used on Jadel, who was in excellent condition, and the other was used on Cruise, who didn't seem to be in particularly good shape, so he didn't replace Cruise, just to see if Cruise could break his goal drought, and now it seems that Cruise did not disappoint him!

The previous goal drought was just bad luck, and after the goal card broke the last obstacle, Cruise's goal immediately became a matter of course!

"This is a guy worth cultivating, and it's not in vain that I've put so much effort into him." Dick thought in his heart that a player like Cruise does have value in training!

After breaking the goal drought, Cruise was a bit of a form explosion.

Although Munitis recovered a point for Real Madrid after receiving Zidane's pass in the 72nd minute, Kruz's header in the first three minutes of the final game completely helped Atletico Madrid win the game, 4-2, Atletico Madrid won a brilliant victory at home, and washed away the dilemma of three consecutive draws in the league!

"With Dick, there is victory!" Atletico Madrid fans composed their own songs resounded throughout the Calderón stadium, and after such a high-spirited game, only singing can soothe their emotions!
