Chapter 432: Set-Pieces

"This is the most dreary and ugly Copa del Rey final I've ever seen!"

Narrator Aduris shook his head and sighed.

A good end of the Copa del Rey final, the result was made like this by Mourinho.

Real Madrid, this is the most powerful team in Spain, Mourinho is still promoting his defensive counter-attacking tactics in Real Madrid......

Being able to take charge of such a big club, and there are so many excellent and talented attackers in the team's squad, why does Mourinho favor muscular men who can only be blue-collar workers.

Not to mention that Aduris can't figure it out, even Real Madrid fans can't figure it out.

Real Madrid fans call themselves aristocrats, but at this time, Real Madrid's performance on the field, is this like aristocrats?

So when faced with the ridicule of Atletico Madrid fans, the Real Madrid fans on the other side seemed a little silent.

Obviously, the fans did not agree with Mourinho's extreme approach.

......

Luka Modric picked up the ball near the centre circle and he stomped it at his feet, only Cristiano Ronaldo came to harass him.

Modric couldn't afford to lose the ball, he passed it to N'Golo Kante and then picked it up on the other side.

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't come up, but he was back in the half and he was stuck in the middle.

In this game, all members of Real Madrid are actively involved in the defense, even Cristiano Ronaldo!

Cristiano Ronaldo's move from Manchester United to Real Madrid sees himself as a career boost.

After all, in the Latin world, Real Madrid's influence is still far greater than Manchester United's, and Ronaldo himself is Portuguese, so it is not surprising that he has such an opinion.

But what is Ascension?

Grades, of course!

He won the Premier League and the Champions League at Manchester United, but came to Real Madrid with nothing.

There is little hope for a league title this season, and in the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid knocked out Tottenham Hotspur to reach the last four, where they were drawn against Barcelona.

This is another tough battle, even Ronaldo is not sure to beat Barcelona, and once the Champions League is also eliminated, I am afraid that this season's Real Madrid will be empty!

Therefore, this championship is of great significance to Real Madrid and Ronaldo.

Win the Copa del Rey first, so that even if there is a mistake on the Champions League side, Real Madrid can avoid the embarrassment of the big four this season.

Modric ignored Cristiano Ronaldo's thoughts, and he was still watching Real Madrid's formation, hoping to find loopholes in it.

In the end, Modric gave up, Real Madrid were very close and it was too difficult to pass the ball in.

So Modric was ready to change the way he organised the attack.

....

Gao Bo expected Mourinho to defend, but he didn't expect the opponent to do it so thoroughly.

Although 0-0 is nothing for Atletico Madrid, in Gao Bo's heart, he doesn't want a draw.

He looked at Mourinho, who was not far away.

This guy must have arranged a penalty practice, and the penalty shootout must be a key event for Real Madrid. And Atletico Madrid's penalty practice is basically routine.

Therefore, Gao Bo did not want to drag the game into extra time and then take a penalty.

He definitely didn't want Mourinho's plot to succeed.

Fortunately, his pre-game arrangement was also focused on attack, and now he can't attack head-on, and his team still has a way.

Gao Bo did not go to the sidelines to yell and alert the Atletico Madrid players.

Because he believes that his players will find problems on their own and then change their tactics.

They had rehearsed many times before the game.

.......

There are many ways to break down dense defenses, set-pieces, long-range shots, and individual breakthroughs.

Set-pieces are certainly a key attacking focus for Atletico Madrid, especially in this final.

Gao Bo is now very proud of arranging several set-piece attacking routines in the final, which shows that he is still very prescient.

On the pitch, Atletico Madrid's players, who found it difficult to penetrate the frontal positional attack, also changed the direction of the attack.

Luka Modric received the pass again, he controlled the ball at his feet, then reached out, made a gesture and then passed the ball back to N'Golo Kante.

Soon, the players up front became more and more mobile.

Antoine Griezmann was deployed in the middle of the game, but he only started in the middle and started moving to the two flanks as soon as the game started.

Kante received the ball and passed it to Raul Garcia, who in turn passed the ball to Luka Modric on the other side.

Outside of Real Madrid's 30-metre defensive range, Atletico Madrid's passes were not under much pressure, and the harassment of Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema was not enough to put Atletico Madrid's players under pressure.

Modric picked up the ball as soon as he received it, and the ball flew to the right!

Antoine Griezmann had moved to this side, he chested the ball and then dribbled towards the opposition box!

Marcelo and Las Diarra were both stuck in front of Griezmann, with Carvalho and Khedira behind them.

Real Madrid's defence looks impregnable, and even if Griezmann breaks through one, can he break through them all?

It is true that Griezmann did not break through all, but he still rushed forward without hesitation.

And when he faced Marcelo, he cashed directly to the outside, and then when Marcelo came up, he suddenly made an emergency stop.

Marcelo couldn't brake and knocked Griezmann to the ground.

Antoine Griezmann is just waiting for him to foul!

"Antoine Griezmann created a free-kick on the right side of Atletico Madrid!"

The narrator's tone is flat.

But Mourinho's brow is already furrowed.

From Atletico Madrid's attack this time, he has already smelled the signs!

Sure enough, Godin and Boateng all came up, and at the back, N'Golo Kante, Juanfran and Sandro were limiting the counter-attack, while the other Atletico Madrid players were involved in the attack of the free-kick this time.

Antoine Griezmann crossed the ball with his left foot to the far end, then Boateng crossed the ball to the middle of the middle, and Godin in the middle grabbed the spot, but his header flew over the top of Carvalho!!

"Godin's header!! Raised above the beam!! A threatening attack from Atletico Madrid! ”

Commentator Aduris was very excited, because this was the most threatening attack from both sides in the first seven or eight minutes of the game.

.....

And this seems to open some kind of signal.

Soon, the second attack came.

This time Griezmann was on the left, and after breaking past Arbeloa, he swept the ball towards the box near the baseline, only to be slammed out of the line by Ramos at the front post.

Corner kick!!

The Atletico Madrid players are coming up again soon!

This time it was Diego Costa who got the ball!

He headed the ball almost unguarded near the penalty spot while the rest of the defenders pulled away.

It's a pity that Diego Costa didn't take advantage of the opportunity this time, his header was not fully powerful, and the ball was not fast enough when it flew towards the goal, and was held by Casillas.

Gao Bo on the sidelines looked very regretful, he shook his hand and spread his hands towards the coach's seat.

This scene was watched by Mourinho.

From set-pieces?

Mourinho's brow furrowed.
