Chapter 430: The Last Counterattack

In fact, when Simeone was about to tell the players about his adjustments, the Atletico Madrid players on the pitch made their own choices - they began to recycle and prepare for the next extra time.

It's a natural choice, after all, the game is all played and you can't score a goal. It was the opponents who seized their chance to press the attack and almost scored.

Any normal player will make a move to avoid conceding the ball at the last moment.

It's also a sign of the maturity of the team.

Watching Atletico Madrid recover, Real Madrid, who had just threatened their goal with Cristiano Ronaldo, thought about attacking before the end of the game.

What if they can beat Atletico Madrid?

The reason why the Real Madrid players have such an idea cannot be said to be immature, but they are very aware that they have a physical problem, and if they play extra time, they will not take advantage of it.

When the time comes, it will collapse faster......

It's like a repeat of the final two years ago, only this time Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have to swap places.

So Real Madrid mustered up the last of their strength and launched an attack on the Atletico Madrid goal.

It wasn't a decision made by Zidane, it was a decision made spontaneously by the players on the pitch. But Zidane saw it in his eyes, but it didn't stop them.

Because he knows very well the fitness of the team, extra-time is not good for Real Madrid, and it would be best if he could finish the game in 90 minutes.

※※※

Real Madrid's offensive came up, and the Real Madrid fans in the stands seemed to be resurrected, cheering loudly for their team.

After all, they also want the game to be over in 90 minutes, because everyone can see that Real Madrid's fitness is declining very quickly.

Even a player like Cristiano Ronaldo, known for his physical fitness, leaned over and gasped for air during breaks between matches.

They certainly hope that the team can beat Atletico Madrid in 90 minutes to avoid a collapse in extra-time.

Real Madrid has been pressed and beaten by Atletico Madrid before, and they can be regarded as accumulating some physical strength, and now they have released all their physical strength, which has indeed created a lot of pressure on Atletico Madrid.

All of Atletico Madrid's retreats to their own half.

Simeone decided not to warn the players, apparently they were aware of it.

He just stood on the sidelines and showed his support for the team to show that he was with them.

※※※

In the face of Real Madrid's last wave of crazy offensive, Atletico Madrid fans felt that it was better to play extra time. At the very least, going into extra time, my team still has a physical advantage, and if the opponent is killed before the end of the game, then it is really necessary to relive the pain and despair of two years ago......

So seeing Atletico Madrid's recovering defense, Atletico Madrid's fans didn't say anything.

As long as they can beat their city rivals in the Champions League final, they don't care how it is, they don't care if it's 90 minutes or 120 minutes.

In the 88th minute, Real Madrid's attack hit the goal of Atletico Madrid, Bale crossed from the side, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been switched to the middle to play center, jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal!

"Ronaldo ——!!"

He snatched a header in front of Godin, and then a lion shook his head and headed the ball towards the goal!

Oblak made a brilliant save and single-handedly blocked the football!

"Oblak! He made another crucial save! Pretty! He Ping cheered for the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper, he saved not only the goal of Atletico Madrid, but also the hope of Atletico Madrid to win the Champions League!

However, the crisis of Atletico Madrid has not yet been contacted.

Oblak's save was rather narrow, and Cristiano Ronaldo's header was so powerful that it wasn't easy for him to keep the ball off the crossbar or hit it farther.

So the football that was blocked by him just fell into the penalty area of Atletico Madrid, causing chaos!

In the confusion, Savage kicked the ball out first.

But he wasn't far away, and the ball didn't fly to Real Madrid's half or off the touchline.

The football fell to Modric.

Modric tried to find Marcelo on the side.

But his passing intentions were spotted by Saul.

The moment he passed, Saul suddenly stepped forward and hit the passing route.

At the same time, Gao Zheng, who was at the front, saw this scene, didn't say a word, turned around and ran forward.

Ramos, who was next to him, was stunned for a moment, but immediately chased after him.

He was still glad when he caught up, but fortunately he was not the last line of defense, and there was Pepe behind him.

This is a master of one-on-one defense.

Even if Atletico Madrid wants to fight back, when the time comes, he will chase after him in the back, Pepe will block in front, and the two of them will defend Gao Zheng alone, and I believe it will be enough to keep him.

※※※

Gao Zheng suddenly stepped forward, and basically no one noticed it except Ramos and Pepe.

All eyes are on Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

Luka Modric played the ball wide and wanted to pass it to Marcelo.

But his ball was intercepted midway through by Saul.

Marcelo and Luka Modric rushed to Saul to cut off his ball and prevent Atletico Madrid from playing a counter-attack.

Saul actually looked up to observe the situation before breaking the ball, so he saw Gao Zheng turn around and resolutely step forward, and he now knew what he should do.

Without any hesitation, he kicked the football to the front with a big kick!

"Saul's long pass - Gao Zheng!!" He Ping shouted excitedly.

"This is Atletico's chance!" Xu Yang was also very excited.

All the fans in the stands, whether it was Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid, got up from their seats, it was a counterattack opportunity after Atletico Madrid held it for a few minutes, and the game time was so sensitive, if Gao Zheng could score, it was likely to kill the game.

But if you can't score, the game could be dragged into extra time......

So for Atletico Madrid, this counterattack is not very important, the most important thing is not to concede a goal. Therefore, when Gao Zheng stepped forward to sprint, there were not even other Atletico Madrid players to follow him and help him.

Maybe it's because you can't run, maybe you don't want to destroy the integrity of the defense.

Anyway, now Gao Zheng is fighting alone.

※※※

Gao Zheng's speed is not slow, but he rarely sprinted with all his strength before, so it gives people the illusion that he is slow.

Now when Ramos was chasing after Gao Zheng, he found that his previous impression of Gao Zheng's speed was all wrong - this bastard is not slow at all!

He had to grit his teeth to keep from losing it.

But what he didn't know was that in fact, Gao Zheng had to grit his teeth to avoid being caught up by Ramos.

Gao Zheng's speed is indeed not slow, but his physical fitness is not too good. It's really difficult for him to play until the end of the game and to have him sprint with all his might.

He felt as if his lungs were burning.

But this breath cannot be relaxed in any way.

Because he didn't want to play any extra time......

If you can kill your opponent in regular time, why not?

In front of him, there is another roadblock, which is in the way of his own way.

There are pursuers in the back, and if he hesitates a little, or adjusts, he may get caught up in the defense of the front and rear packs.

It's no wonder that other Atletico Madrid players didn't come up to meet him, and such a counterattack is unlikely to threaten Real Madrid's goal.

Gao Zheng's best result is to use his skills to control the football, not allowing the opponent to grab the ball in a short period of time, and delay a little longer.

It would have been better if they had been able to lure Real Madrid's players into fouling, and if they had been on the ground for a few more minutes, the game would have been over if the free-kick had been issued.

As for whether this free-kick can pose a threat, that is not at all on the mind of Atletico Madrid......
