Looking at the football rolling into his own goal, Ancelotti in the coach's box on the sidelines suddenly looked like earth, because since Feng Quan landed in La Liga, Atletico Madrid scored the first game, and finally won all the games.
Real Madrid's many big purchases during the summer transfer period have greatly improved the overall strength of the team, but in the face of last season's treble, its rival Atletico Madrid is still difficult to get a little cheap.
"Against such a difficult opponent, do we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory?" Ancelotti couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Although Carlo Ancelotti wanted to invest more troops in the attack, due to the counter-attacking power of Fengquan and Griezmann, he did not dare to let his back line press too much, and could only play the first half of the game according to the pre-match policy.
Considering that the first round of the Champions League group stage will be played away to Greece against Olympiacos in three days' time, Diego Simeone has no intention of stepping up his attack.
With both sides retained, the score remained 1-0 until the end of the first half.
…………
As Atletico Madrid also opted for a quick passage through midfield, Khedira's role as a midfield barrier was difficult to play, so Carlo Ancelotti replaced him with James Rodriguez at half-time.
Although the removal of Khedira weakened Real Madrid's midfield defence, the arrival of James Rodriguez immediately improved the team's attacking creativity.
In the ninth minute of the second half, James Rodriguez was slightly on the right side of the field, receiving passes from Bale and getting rid of the defense of Koke and Raul Garcia in succession and then hitting near the top of the penalty area.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, meanwhile, cut into the gaps on either side of the penalty area.
Just when the Atletico Madrid player thought that James Rodriguez would choose to go straight into the box, he suddenly curled a ball with the inside of his left foot about 20 meters from the goal.
Just when the more than 70,000 Real Madrid supporters in the stadium thought that James Rodriguez's shot would bring the two teams back to the same starting line, Oblak, who had turned the tide many times since the start of the season, once again rose up with a wonderful sideways save to keep the ball that was about to cross the goal line out of the line.
James Rodriguez's cold shot failed to find the back of the net for Oblak, but it was a huge morale boost for Real Madrid.
Although the two fullbacks of the Real Madrid team still did not dare to press too much on the assist, the enthusiasm of the midfielders such as Ronaldo, Bale and Modric has improved significantly.
Although Real Madrid's high-pressure pressing in the front court made it difficult for his team to organize the attack through the effective cooperation of the midfield, Diego Simeone on the sidelines was not worried about this, and a sly smile appeared on his face.
In fact, this is also very understandable, after all, Atletico Madrid not only has Feng Quan and Griezmann on the front line, but also the newly joined Mandzukic is also a strong center forward who is very good at heading over. As long as you can get the ball to the front court, then it will be a very dangerous attack.
Sure enough, just when Real Madrid's attack was booming, Atletico Madrid, who had not completed a shot on goal for a long time, used their best fast counterattack to extend their lead again.
In the 23rd minute of the second half, Ronaldo received an inverted triangle pass from Bale near the right baseline near the penalty spot and swept to the bottom left corner of the goal.
Just when more than 70,000 Real Madrid fans jumped up from their seats again, ready to cheer for the goal, Oblak, who had no time to complete the save, stretched out his leg to block Ronaldo's shot.
Just when Benzema was about to step forward to complete the follow-up shot, Juanfran, who had already recovered to assist in the middle of the defense, stabbed the ball to Koke outside the penalty area first.
After receiving the ball, Cork found that Feng Quan was running forward along the left wing, so after a slight adjustment, he sent a long pass over the top to the left side of the field.
Although Arbeloa and Sergio Ramos took advantage of the opportunity of Feng Quan's stop to jam his forward and inward lines respectively, they did not expect that Feng Quan, who has always liked to break through, played a textbook wall-hitting cooperation with Mandzukic in the middle, and easily cracked his own defense.
Feng Quan, who broke away from the defense, first pretended to cut inside to attack, and when Sergio Ramos turned back to block, he used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball sideways for a little space, and then picked up his right leg to complete a powerful heavy bombardment.
Although Casillas made a good judgment at the moment when the wind was blowing and touched the ball with the tip of his left finger, he was unable to prevent the ball from grazing the post on the right side of the goal and burrowing into the net.
…………
With the two teams close in strength, and the lagging side is afraid of the threat of the opponent's counterattack and does not dare to fight back with all its might, and there are less than 20 minutes left in the game, the difference between the two goals can almost be "decided" in advance.
Of course, as a "qualified" professional player, even if you know that there is little hope of reversing the game, even if there is only a slight possibility, and you need some "abnormal" means to achieve your goals, you must try. Real Madrid's centre-back Pepe, for example, is a "qualified" player.
Seeing that the use of conventional means could no longer stop Feng Quan's attack, Pepe, who had been firmly guarding the vicinity of the penalty area, began to frequently move away from the area he should be responsible for, and approached Feng Quan's location.
Considering that his speed and flexibility are certainly not matched, Pepe will not defend in a position position, but will use body collisions and jersey tugging to prevent Feng Quan from receiving the ball smoothly before he catches the ball. And once Feng Quan gets the ball, Pepe will not hesitate to risk the cards, and he will also tackle the first time fiercely, and the first target is not football, but Feng Quan's legs.
Pepe's approach is a bit disgraceful, and the equally fierce style of play doesn't shy away from the brutal defensive style of the opposition. However, Diego Simeone, who was on the sidelines, was shocked after seeing the scene of Fengquan falling to the ground frequently.
In Diego Simeone's view, if the price of winning the "Madrid derby" is Feng Quan's health, then he would rather not win this game than pay the price of Feng Quan's injury.
Perhaps he is not one of the best in world football when he compares his technical ability, but his unrivaled speed advantage has already given him the deterrent power of "stadium nuclear weapons".
Therefore, Diego Simeone decisively asked his assistant to inform Raul Jimenez to complete the warm-up as soon as possible and be ready to replace Feng Quan.
