1143 He Finally Raised His Head!
"Oops, we saw the referee running to the sidelines and sternly warning Atletico Madrid's manager Simeone."
"Just now Simeone was yelling at the linesman and the referee, venting his inner dissatisfaction, thinking that Real Madrid's throw-in serve was violated, but the referee did not accept it, obviously did not agree with Simeone's statement, which made him very dissatisfied, and there seemed to be a gesture insulting to the referee at hand."
'The referee looked like he was giving Simeone a serious warning that he had better be a little more restrained.'
"They are all world-famous handsome, you should have a bit of grace, haha......"
"Eh, eh, eh, let's see, the assistant coach of Atletico Madrid rushed out, and Boggs rushed straight to the referee."
"Wow, this big guy Boggs is too bluffing, it looks like he's going to fight."
"The referee also did not change his face, just stood in place, looking directly at Boggs."
"We saw Simeone pulling Boggs and trying to persuade him."
"The coaching staff of Atletico Madrid wanted the referee to hurry back to the field, but the referee stood still and didn't move, it should be saying, I'm not afraid of him, let him come up and try to move me?"
"I have to say that this year's Madrid derby is really very hot, and it is more popular than one game, and even tonight it is a full martial arts, if it starts directly, it will be interesting."
"We see that the players of Atletico Madrid are also persuading Boggs to go back quickly."
"I have to say that Atletico Madrid needs to be calm now."
"Of course, if you use the words of someone who knows Simeone's methods, this may also be a tactic of Simeone, he just wants to intimidate the referee, this is Calderon Stadium, don't you want to go back?"
"I have to say that Simeone in a black coat really looks like an underworld boss."
"The game is restarting and Atletico Madrid is back off."
……
After the restart, Atletico Madrid played more consistently.
Surprisingly, Simeone didn't even make any substitutions, as if he wanted to stick to his starting lineup to the end.
Of course, it is also possible that Simeone simply has no other reliable substitution options at his disposal, because with Atletico Madrid's financial resources, it is already quite difficult to form a strong starting line-up, and it is basically unrealistic to have a strong substitute and bench line-up.
Therefore, Simeone dared to stick to his lineup to the end.
Real Madrid had nearly 70 per cent of the possession, but they were never able to find an effective attacking line.
In the 70th minute, Carlo Ancelotti made his second substitution of the game, with Isco replacing Mascherano.
It was a very courageous substitution, because Mascherano was Real Madrid's lone midfielder, and after the game, Xavi Alonso and Modric began to resemble a double midfielder, leaving Isco alone in front of him, with little defensive duty.
It can be said that this is one of Ancelotti's ways of using Isco, that is, to treat him as a surprise soldier.
The game played for more than 70 minutes, especially in the middle of the week, the Champions League just fell, Atletico Madrid's opponent was AC Milan, the game was also very difficult, both sides consumed very much, in this case, play to 70 minutes, and then Isco, which will be particularly difficult for Atletico Madrid, the defensive pressure will be particularly great.
Sure enough, Simeone quickly saw the trick and replaced Turan with Christian Rodriguez.
Both sides can be said to be on the tip of the needle, patiently looking for the opponent's loopholes, waiting for the other to make a mistake.
Soon, Ancelotti made one last substitution, replacing Di Maria with Suarez.
After the substitution, Yang Yang and Suarez formed a double striker, Hazard, Xavi Alonso, Modric and Isco formed a four-midfield, Real Madrid changed the formation into a four-four-two formation, Hazard and Isco were more forward, playing a role similar to that of a wing midfielder.
It was clear that Carlo Ancelotti's idea was to use two players, Eden Hazard and Isco, to take turns dribbling the ball against Atletico Madrid's defence, as both of them excelled at dribbling in dense areas.
This should also be considered a flexible advantage for short players.
But this time, Simeone did not follow up, but chose to continue to respond to the changes, but kept adjusting the team's defensive formation, leaving Diego Costa alone in front, and the midfield and backfield retreated to the 30-meter area.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that Simeone's strategy has been adjusting, from trying to save a goal when they were 2-1 up, and now, for them, saving a draw is an acceptable result.
Whether it is in terms of the starting lineup or the depth of the bench, Atletico Madrid is still slightly inferior to Real Madrid.
At the very least, in the Sheets, Simeone can't get a substitute of the level of Isco and Suarez.
And the three substitutions were used up early, and Ancelotti didn't have any tricks.
He said in his pre-match press conference that against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid has only one way, and that is to perform better than their opponents in all aspects, and at the same time show the strongest willpower and tenacious fighting spirit in the game, in order to have a chance to take away the three points from the Calderón stadium.
You know, even with top strikers like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, and passers like Xavi, Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas in the midfield, Barcelona can only draw 0-0 at the Calderón Stadium.
It can be seen that Simeone's team has been really tenacious this season.
…………
…………
Isco was sent on the pitch as a surprise soldier and he was well aware of his duty.
Both Ancelotti and Zidane told him not to worry about the defensive line, now Atletico Madrid's counterattack is not strong, and the most important thing for Real Madrid is how to break through Atletico Madrid's defensive position, so it is more about attacking.
Therefore, after he comes on the court, he is full of energy and has more opportunities to get the ball.
Especially after Suarez came on the pitch, Real Madrid's offensive momentum became more intense.
In the second minute of Suarez's play, Isco took the ball on the right side and forced it into the right rib, pulled away Felipe, and passed back to the right wing, Carvajal followed up and crossed, Suarez nodded the ball closely, but it was slightly wide.
Less than three minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback, Marcelo combined with Eden Hazard on the left flank, cut inside and crossed, Modric then cut in and fired a sudden long-range shot, but it was high again and could not hold the ball down.
Then Real Madrid passed through the midfield, Yang Yang retreated to respond, and after taking the ball with his back, he turned around and picked up the pass behind him.
This time Suarez reacted, also inserted the ball, and directly volleyed through the goal of Atletico Madrid, but the linesman signaled a foul and was canceled by the referee.
The applause at Calderón Stadium was given to the referee.
This group of "snobbish" fans, but they applaud any penalty that is good for Atletico Madrid, and as long as it is not good for them, they boo, they no longer care about right and wrong.
In this stadium, the opposing sides, the fans of both teams, only care about one thing, and that is to win!
……
Real Madrid attacked again, this time to the right.
Iscola went to the side to receive the ball, in order to avoid Felipe, he deliberately retreated deeper this time, but he was still entangled by Gabi, but the Malaga man turned around with a stop, flashed Gabi beautifully, and rushed forward with the ball.
But Gabi also turned and accelerated, caught up from behind, and directly put a shovel, and even took the ball to knock Isco to the ground.
The referee did not award a foul and gave Real Madrid a throw-in, but it was too far away.
This is also Atletico Madrid's strategy, trying to keep fouls on the wings and away from the goal.
Ancelotti replaces no one and refuses to replace Yang Yang, because Yang Yang is the biggest deterrent that Real Madrid can give to the opponent on the pitch.
But Isco was clearly still unrelenting.
After standing up, the Málaga man began to prepare to take Carvajal's throw-in.
However, Real Madrid's right wing-back was left to Luka Modric, who then passed to Xavi Alonso, intending to regroup, or reorient the attack, to play on the right side of Atletico Madrid, that is, on the left side of Hazard.
Atletico are also very resilient defensively and react very quickly.
But Xavi Alonso is one of the world's top midfielders because he reads the game very well, and when he saw Atletico Madrid start to shift the defensive focus to the right, he suddenly sent the ball back to the left, that is, the right side of Real Madrid.
Isco ran right down the middle and the ball came to his feet.
As soon as he stopped, Mario Suarez was in front and Gabi was behind him, but Isco was bold, and when he stopped the ball, he also followed a sudden brake, and he turned the ball behind him, and he quickly turned around.
In this way, a light and dexterous movement, as if dancing, allowed Isco to shake off Gabi on the court.
When catching up with the ball again, Isco rushed forward with the ball directly, Gabi chased closely at his side, and Felipe also took the initiative to move closer to the middle.
At this moment, whether it was Ancelotti and Zidane on the sidelines, or Yang Yang on the field, they were cheering for Isco's beautiful emergency stop and turning just now, but at the same time, they were also shouting in their hearts, pass.
Carvajal on the right followed up and had a chance.
Yang Yang pointed directly to the right and shouted Isco, "Right, right." ”
In fact, it was impossible for Isco to hear Yang Yang's shout, and he continued to dribble the ball forward and hit directly to the edge of the penalty area.
Gabi, Felipe and Godin all flanked him, with Christian Rodriguez chasing him behind.
Under the tight guard of the opponent, Isco will not have a chance to break through with the ball.
But this dribbling maniac who has always kept his head down and dribbled, does he know how to pass the ball?
Did he see his unguarded team-mate Carvajal on the right flank as he was advancing with the ball quickly?
Seeing that Atletico Madrid's bag defense was about to be successfully contained, Isco suddenly raised his head.
