Although Diego Simeone had expected that Ronaldo would cause him a lot of trouble, he did not expect that less than 5 minutes into the game, his own goal was narrowly lost.

In order to avoid being the first to break the deadlock and fall into a passive situation, Simeone immediately ordered Juanfran and Felipe Luiz to strengthen the defense on the flanks and not press too many assists for the time being.

At the same time, he also asked Mario Suarez and Koke not to leave the middle to help defend the wing, so as not to leave the space to be used by Real Madrid's midfielders, but when Ronaldo or Bale choose to cut inside, they must help the full-backs to make up for the defense at the first time, after all, both have a good long-range shot.

In addition, even Mandzukic and Antoine Griezmann have been asked to retreat to near their own halfway line when defending to prevent the opposition full-backs from getting assists.

Although it is difficult to limit the breakthrough of Ronaldo and Bale with two full-backs alone, in the face of Ronaldo, who no longer blindly works alone, Simeone can only choose to tighten the fence wall in the middle to reduce the chances of the opponent facing his own goal as much as possible.

Even if it is difficult to ensure that your own wide defence is not torn apart by the opponent, the opponent will always need to pass the ball to the middle or cut inside to finish the attack. The middle, guarded by the likes of Miranda, Godin and Gabi, is definitely the toughest and strongest defence in the entire game, and it is not easy to break through the defense formed by a top club like Real Madrid.

Although the change in Atletico Madrid's defensive strategy has allowed Ronaldo to gain more space to attack, whenever he tears through the wide defense and prepares to cut inside, at least two defenders will block his shooting lane; And when he is ready to choose to give the ball to his team-mate in the middle, he will find that the receiving team-mate has already been caught in the circle of Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid's wide attack, although it seemed to take the initiative on the field, did not pose a real threat to Oblak's goal.

The reason for this situation is not that Atletico Madrid's central defense has really reached the point of being leaky, but that Real Madrid's limited number of troops in the attack.

Although Atletico Madrid only stayed in the front court to wait for an opportunity when defending, the wind alone made Real Madrid's entire defense not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, and even the two central midfielders, Modric and Toni Kroos, could only take turns to insert, and did not dare to cross the half at the same time to participate in the attack.

As a result, Real Madrid, which actually has only five players involved in the attack, will naturally be very difficult to really break through Atletico Madrid's defense. However, their defense is much more solid than the previous battles, after all, no matter how strong Feng Quan's individual ability is, it is not easy to tear apart the entire defense line by himself.

As a result, although both sides created a few chances on goal in the first 25 minutes, they failed to pose a substantial threat to the opposing goal, except for the two shots that Real Madrid had just started.

However, as the game progressed, the situation on the pitch began to change subtly.

Real Madrid, who dominated the field, was unable to break the deadlock, and the frontcourt players gradually began to be impatient, especially Ronaldo, who had been performing well before, gradually began to increase his attempts to cut inside the goal.

In fact, Ronaldo's move is also really helpless, in the case of other teammates deep in the defense of Atletico Madrid, it is not only difficult for him to play an effective cooperation with his teammates, but once his teammates fail to play the ball at the first time, they will be fiercely forced by the opponent to snatch the ball away, and then use the speed advantage of Feng Quanquan to threaten their own defense.

Even if Ronaldo chooses to use the flanks as an attacking breakthrough, Atletico Madrid's highly layered central defense does not have many holes for himself to exploit. The certainty of forcing an inside shot is not very great, but at least it will reduce the probability of Atletico Madrid launching a quick counter-attack.

At the beginning, Ancelotti also complained to the assistant coach next to him that Ronaldo was going to play alone again, but thinking of the quick counterattack of Modric and J. after the ball was broken, the Italian felt that Ronaldo's approach was also an option.

As a result, Ancelotti immediately ordered Modric and other midfielders not to stick to Ronaldo's one-point shot, and appropriately transfer the ball to the right side where Bale is located, after all, flying on both wings can form more threats to the opponent.

Ancelotti's choice of "flying on both wings" has increased the difficulty of Atletico Madrid's defense, but it has also strengthened the opposing players' confidence in sticking to the middle, while Ronaldo and Bale have enough ability to cut inside, but the forced shots under the pressure of the defenders are just refreshing Real Madrid's shooting statistics.

In addition, when Diego Simeone saw that the opponent put the main attack direction on the side and almost gave up the attack in the middle, he immediately put Mario Suarez and Koke in a slightly earlier position, and strengthened the pressing defense of the midfield, making it more difficult for the opponent to play the ball from the midfield to the side.

Although Modric tried to use the void behind the opponent's central midfield, Gabi, who was more experienced in the game, did not let him do so, and the position of Mario Suarez and Koke also made Modric and other Real Madrid midfielders have to speed up the ball. As the speed of the ball increases, the pass success rate will increase to a certain extent.

In the 36th minute of the first half, although J. Rodriguez advanced to the opponent's 30-meter area with his skillful ball control skills, he risked losing the ball if he wanted to continue to push forward under the pressure of Mario Suarez. In desperation, the Colombian star had to choose to distribute the ball to the side again.

However, when J. Rodriguez passed the ball, Mario Suarez, who had been on guard, suddenly stretched out his foot and touched the football.

Although Mario Suarez could not complete the ball directly, the ball he touched changed the direction of the roll, and Felipe Luiz, who was waiting for the opportunity, got the ball first.

Felipe Luiz didn't push straight forward on his own after breaking the ball, but quickly passed the ball to Mandzukic in front.

Mandzukic was going to pass the ball to Feng Quan in the middle immediately, but after seeing that the Real Madrid defense was quick to create an offside trap, he chose to advance along the sideline.

Seeing the offside tactics fail, Carvajal quickly ran to Mandzukic, while Toni Kroos quickly got stuck between Mandzukic and Fengquan to cut off each other's connection, Sergio Ramos quickly put on the wind, and even Marcelo, who was guarding the left flank, quickly received the middle in order to help his teammates in the defense.

Just as Marcelo was in the middle of the pack, Mandzukic, who was dribbling the ball along the left wing, suddenly moved the ball to the space on the right side with a long pass.

Griezmann, who was following at high speed, unloaded the ball with his chest, and with a slight adjustment, stuffed the ball into a huge space near the corner of the box on the right.

Although Marcelo realised something was wrong the moment Mandzukic opted for a long pass and quickly reflexively sprinted towards the left flank, who else on the planet could match the wind in the battle of speed?

The next moment, I saw that Feng Quan shook off Ramos, who was marking him, like a bolt of lightning, received a pass from Griezmann near the corner of the penalty area, easily shook past Varane, who came forward to make up for the defense, and then hit the door guarded by Saint-Cassie with a violent volley about 14 meters from the goal......
