Chapter 420: The Man Who Desperately Wants to Defeat
After both players took their positions, the San Siro Stadium in Meazza gradually fell silent.
Whether it is Real Madrid fans or Atletico Madrid fans, or neutral fans who are not neutral, they no longer make a sound at this time, but stare at the stadium, and some people raise their mobile phones and cameras in their hands, aim at the stadium, and prepare to press the shutter.
In this silence, even the narrator did not speak.
Everyone was waiting for the whistle to blow.
In the TV broadcast screen, Gao Zheng and Griezmann stood in the center circle, both of them stepping on the football under their feet, and neither of them spoke.
Mark Clattenburg, the referee on duty in the game, raised his wrist to look at his watch in the silence, and then pressed the chronograph button.
At the same time he blew the whistle in his mouth!
The whistle was followed by cheers from the fans.
The flashing lights in the stands were like a brilliant Milky Way falling into the stadium.
Gao Zheng, who was still stepping on the football just now, kicked the football out gently, and Griezmann followed up and passed the football back.
"Game on!!" He Ping, Jose Maria, Kassel Leff...... And other commentators from all over the world shouted at the same time.
It was as if the whole stadium had been revived from its slumber, and all the sounds spread and swept through the stadium.
※※※
As soon as the game started, Real Madrid showed a very positive attitude towards the game.
The Atletico Madrid players returned the ball all the way, and Cristiano Ronaldo followed the ball all the way to Atletico Madrid's right wing-back Juanfran Brown.
Juanfran wanted to play the ball in front of him, but underestimated the speed of Ronaldo's sprint, and when he kicked the ball out, the ball hit Ronaldo's outstretched leg and bounced off the sideline.
"It's dangerous!" He Ping exclaimed. "It feels like Cristiano Ronaldo was very excited today and seems to have gotten into the game earlier...... This is not good news for Atletico Madrid! ”
Seeing this, Simeone also walked to the sidelines and gestured to his players, signaling them not to rush and not to panic because of the ball.
The Real Madrid fans in the stands were excited to see this scene, and they let out bursts of cheers, as if Cristiano Ronaldo had just broken the ball and launched an attack.
Zinedine Zidane was on the sidelines, gesturing to his players, signaling them to press forward aggressively in this throw-in, pressing Atletico Madrid and causing problems for Atletico Madrid's players, just as Ronaldo did when he pressed Juanfran for it.
It really works.
After the opening, Real Madrid even formed a siege for a while, overwhelming Atletico Madrid.
It was clear that the game was a kick-off for Atletico Madrid, but they could not take advantage of the kick-off to attack the Real Madrid goal......
Atletico Madrid and Chinese fans in front of the stands and TV were a little anxious.
Real Madrid's siege came close to killing in the ninth minute.
When Bale tried to break down the right flank, he was brought down by Atletico Madrid captain Gabi, and referee Clattenburg blew for a foul on Gabi and gave Real Madrid a free-kick from a 45-degree angle on the outside of the corner of the box.
It's up to Bale to take the penalty.
Bale's football went straight to Atletico Madrid's goal.
Benzema, who was at the front point, wanted to grab the point, but he was held up by Godin and couldn't catch up.
And Ronaldo, who was ambushed behind him, suddenly made a dash at this time, killed out of the crowd, and raised his foot to shoot only four meters away from the goal!
When I saw this scene, the hearts of all Atletico Madrid fans were on their throats.
The Real Madrid fans couldn't help but clench their fists, straining their shoulders, ready to raise their fists and cheer.
But Atletico Madrid's starting goalkeeper in this game, Oblak, blocked the football with his foot on the goal line!
"Wow!!" He Ping exclaimed.
The ball flew outside the box after being blocked by Oblak, and Marcelo followed up with a long-range shot, but it was high and wide and flew straight off the line.
The alarm was lifted.
This is the opportunity for everyone to replay the slow motion to understand that the shot just happened between the lightning and flint.
In fact, this time it was outflanked by the front, middle and back three points, Benzema attracted Godin at the front point, and there was also Ramos behind Cristiano Ronaldo, if Ronaldo did not touch the ball, then Ramos could have killed from it.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo did not let the football pass in front of him, he directly tackled when the distance was not enough, and this kick can be said to be very sudden, and many people at the time probably thought that the ball should have been received by Ramos in the back.
The distance is so close, and the shot comes so suddenly, it is impossible for the average goalkeeper to have reaction time.
Oblak also leaned down reflexively, but fortunately he chose his position well, did not move, and looked like a football had hit his foot headbutt.
"Oblak has done a great job!" José Maria cheered. Oblak is also the third Slovenian player in history to play in the Champions League final, following Katanic in 1992 and Zaho......vic in 2001.
Coincidentally, the Champions League final in which Zahovic played was played at the San Siro Stadium in Meazza. But José Maria did not mention it because he was afraid that it would cause bad associations among Atletico Madrid fans.
Because in the Champions League final that Zakhovic played, his Valencia finally lost to Bayern Munich.
Did Jose Maria mention this because he was afraid that Atletico Madrid fans would not be cranky?
He's not stupid.
At this time, fans are sensitive and vulnerable.
Anything he said could be a reason for the fans to attack him later, if Atletico Madrid won, it's fine, if they lose, it's because of their own words.
As a commentator of Madrid, in the face of this Madrid "civil war", he is impartial and impartial, neither biased towards Atletico Madrid nor Real Madrid.
So this kind of words that are easy to provoke the dissatisfaction of one side of the fans, he can not say it, unless it is to comment on the performance of the players on the field, he will tell the truth.

"This ball is so thrilling!" He Ping and Xu Yang are still a little scared now.
They didn't even have time to react when the ball flew towards the goal, they didn't even have time to be scared, and it wasn't until now that the ball was kicked off the line by Marcelo and they were relieved.
Realizing that Atletico Madrid was just a few centimeters away from conceding the goal......
"As I said, after the start of this game, I felt that Ronaldo was in extra good shape today! Running actively, there is no sign of injury at all......" Xu Yang said with some concern. Ronaldo's performance made him worry about Atletico Madrid and Gao Zheng.
Ronaldo himself was sorry that he couldn't score, and after reacting, he put his head in his hands and sighed.
"Damn! How can the Portuguese be in such good form today! ”
Gao Zheng heard some of his teammates complaining.
Gao Zhengxin said that he probably knows why Ronaldo is in such good shape......
Unlike other teammates who were worried and depressed about this, Gao Zheng was very happy that Cristiano Ronaldo could perform like this.
Because this just shows that the other party sees himself as an opponent who must go all out to defeat.
Thinking that when he participated in the Champions League for the first time and met Cristiano Ronaldo at the Real Madrid training base, he could only look at each other with beast-like eyes, and the other party felt surprised and didn't know why.
Now that it's only been two seasons, he no longer has to put himself in a position of provocation, and he has become an opponent that Ronaldo cannot ignore and desperately wants to beat.
That's nice.
