Chapter 565: The Dull First Half

"It's really a battle of the spotlight!"

Commentator Aduris said, "Both teams were very cautious and the pace was very slow at the start of the game. I'm sure both sides want to score, but at the same time, they're scared of each other's counter-attacks! ”

"Since ancient times, the competition has been nameless, perhaps this is the reason."

Mateo shook his head from the side, "To some extent, this game is also a La Liga final, and the winner will have a high probability of winning the La Liga championship, and to this extent, the caution of the two teams is also justified!" ”

While the commentators were talking, the situation on the field did not change much.

A few minutes ago, the sun had been blocked by the black peaks in the distance, and now it was not dark, and the golden sunset in the distance was unusually gorgeous, but no one paid attention to the view.

Despite the lackluster spectacle, the fans' attention was still on the game.

For such a scene, if it were at the Bernabeu, maybe the fans of Real Madrid would have stopped doing it a long time ago, and the Bernabeu is the most exciting stadium for their own team.

In the eyes of Real Madrid fans, they are aristocrats, and their own team is also aristocrats.

Isn't aristocrats supposed to play gorgeous, play good-looking, play offensive football, and please the fans?

But this is not the Bernabeu, and although the Bernabeu is 16 kilometers away, it can't be the Bernabeu.

This is Calderón, and the fans here don't have such a great aristocratic sentiment.

For Atletico Madrid fans, they are more concerned about the spectacle than whether they can win the title!

Even if the importance of this game is not exaggerated by the media, the fans of Atletico Madrid are very clear, everyone is a senior fan, and everyone knows what the consequences of losing this game will be.

Therefore, although Atletico Madrid slowly controls the ball on the pitch and immediately returns the pass when it encounters a slight obstacle, such behavior seems a bit unenterprising, even... It's a bit of a cowardice!

However, Atletico Madrid fans will not boo their team because of this, they know where they are and the importance of this game.

So they were cheering on the pitch all the time and cheering for the team.

Atletico Madrid slowly controlled the football, and Real Madrid's forward press was only harassing.

Several attackers up front have harassed Atletico Madrid's backline from time to time.

And Atletico Madrid is not completely without attack, they sometimes suddenly hit a shift, and they do not hesitate when they have the opportunity!

In the 19th minute of the game, Modric suddenly picked up a pass behind the Real Madrid defense, and Griezmann swept the ball to the goal immediately after the successful anti-offside.

Aguero confronted Ramos when he was scrambling for a point, so he couldn't touch the ball and was pushed to the ground by Ramos.

This caused Atletico Madrid's players and coaches to protest loudly.

"Penalty!! It's a penalty!! ”

Gao Bo shouted loudly from the sidelines.

He didn't actually see the situation in the box, but in this case, of course, he thought the referee should have given him a penalty.

The boos rang out from the scene.

The televised footage was given to the referee.

The referee, Sanchez Martinez, crossed his hands and waved for Aguero to get up.

The referee didn't think it was enough to take a penalty.

If it is outside the penalty area, the foul will be blown, but this is in the penalty area, and any referee is very cautious about the action in the penalty area, because once the penalty is blown, the impact on the game itself is too great.

The referee is reluctant to award a foul in the box lightly.

The ball also came out of the touchline from the other side.

Aguero stumbled up from the ground, still grumbling as he passed the referee.

"He definitely pushed me, he ruined one of our goals!!"

Sanchez Martinez shook his head, "It's not a foul, don't always think about falling to the ground, I'll see it clearly!" ”

......

Although no penalty was awarded, it was by far Atletico Madrid's most dangerous attack.

In fact, in retrospect, Real Madrid's attack did not invest much.

Bale dribbled all the way in, but what Sandro had been putting was his inward line, and for a player like Bale, it was basically impossible to completely block both sides of him, so Sanchez chose to defend Belneche.

Because the Welsh star cut inside and had a bigger shot than his cross.

And at this time, Kante also came up immediately.

N'Golo Kante is in charge of breaking the ball!

And Bale obviously knows how good Kante is, and with Sanchez and Kante in the middle, he may not be able to protect the ball.

So he came in with a cross before Kante came up.

However, the pass was a bit too big, and the ball flew to the other end.

Juanfran and Cristiano Ronaldo were battling for position, with Juanfran carrying Ronaldo behind him and letting the ball fly off the far sideline.

This was almost the norm in Real Madrid's attack throughout the first half.

It is more about relying on the personal abilities of Ronaldo and Bale to harass each other.

Naturally, such an offensive would be difficult to create any threat.

Jose Mourinho's side didn't have many players pressing up to attack.

When he saw Marcelo starting, Gao Bo thought that Marcelo's start was a signal that Mourinho was ready to attack.

Unexpectedly, Mourinho still chose to be conservative.

Gao Bo is not worried about the conservative Mourinho.

Since Real Madrid doesn't come up to attack, Atletico Madrid naturally doesn't need to worry.

Mourinho wants Atletico Madrid to press the attack, and then Real Madrid plays defense, Gao Bo naturally will not let Mourinho's calculation succeed.

He's sitting in the dugout, and it's a very flat pitch right now, and if both teams don't make changes, Gobo doesn't think there will be a goal in the first half.

"Now is the time to be patient, Moya!"

Gao Bo said to his assistant.

"We don't have to rush at all! It is the Portuguese who should be in a hurry. ”

The Portuguese is, of course, Mourinho.

But Mourinho isn't in a hurry.

A first-half draw was also something he could have lived with, and if the situation had been 0-0, for Real Madrid they would just need a goal.

Real Madrid don't have to worry!

Both teams have shown their patience in such a heavyweight match.

As the minutes ticked by, the first half passed in such a slow, dreary rhythm.
