Chapter 313: Home Momentum

Unlike the worries and reluctance of others outside, in the dressing room of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone praised the performance of the whole team.

He thinks his team did a good job in the first half.

Although there were no goals, they were not at the bottom of the game, so there was hope in the second half.

He doesn't ask too much for this game, as long as he can win, even if it is to win a goal.

In the dressing room at Real Madrid, Zidane is worried about Benzema's situation.

It was clear from the first half that Benzema had not fully recovered, at least his body was not at its best.

If Benzema is allowed to continue playing in the second half, it will not only be of little use to the team, but there is also a risk of re-injury.

So he decided to replace Benzema.

Of course, he also knows very well what the impact of replacing Benzema will affect the team's attack.

Benzema has scored a lot of goals this season, but his contribution is not just about goals. With him, Cristiano Ronaldo has the support and someone to help him attract defensive fire.

And without Benzema's involvement, he may have to face the steel defence of Atletico Madrid.

But there's no way around it.

And Zidane chose to believe in Cristiano Ronaldo's ability.

After the break, Real Madrid made a substitution at the start of the second half, with Zidane replacing Benzema with Borja Mayoral .

"At the age of 18 years and 328 days, Mayoral came off the bench and is the 11th player in Real Madrid's history to play for Atletico Madrid in the league before the age of 19...... José Maria told the TV audience.

Mayoral is an excellent product of Real Madrid's youth academy and is the main striker of the Spanish national youth team.

Real Madrid fans have high hopes for the young talent, hoping that he will be able to take up the banner from Raul.

However, when they see Mayoral in action in the Madrid derby, they still feel a sense of apprehension for no reason, wondering if the young Mayoral will be able to adapt to the intense rhythm of the Madrid derby.

After all, he had only made his senior debut in the final three minutes of the 10th round of the league when he came off the bench in the final three minutes of the team's home game against Las Palmas.

That is, before this Madrid derby, he only had three minutes of La Liga experience.

Zidane sent Mayoral at this time, which also shows that Benzema really can't continue to play, and on the bench in addition to Mayoral is Jose, Jose is not the material to play center, so if you want to replace Benzema, only Mayoral can play.

Zidane is also a clever woman, and it is difficult to cook without rice.

After Mayoral came on the pitch, he didn't have time to get the ball, he was not the protagonist of this game, Cristiano Ronaldo was.

In the 48th minute, Modric's diagonal pass was misjudged by Godin and he failed to touch the ball, which led to the Portuguese receiving the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and then he got up to shoot the ball wide of the far post.

"Cristiano Ronaldo! It's dangerous! Be careful! He Ping exclaimed with palpitations.

Godin also apologized to his teammates after getting up, and he was terrified of a rare mistake in his own defence, which almost resulted in a goal.

Although he didn't score, Ronaldo kept waving his arms and encouraging the Real Madrid fans in the stands, hoping that they could create a more terrifying momentum at home, cheer them on and put pressure on Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid fans did respond to his encouragement, and for a moment there was a burst of cheer in the Bernabeu stands, giving the illusion that Real Madrid might be able to score right away.

I have to say that this trick is quite effective, those who are not strong enough in psychological quality may really have weak legs and tremble in this deafening cheer......

He Ping sat on the commentary seat, even if he was wearing headphones for sound isolation, he still couldn't stop the loud sound from coming into his ears, and he was a little frightened.

You can hear it so clearly through the headphones, what kind of impact the players are suffering from in the middle of the field......

He looked at Gao Zheng, but unfortunately there was no close-up of Gao Zheng in the monitor at this time, and from a distance, he couldn't see Gao Zheng's facial expression clearly, and he didn't know what was wrong with Gao Zheng.

Hopefully, he will not be affected and disturbed by this atmosphere......

After replacing Benzema, it was Real Madrid who played a threatening attack first, which made Zidane very satisfied.

It seems that Cristiano Ronaldo is in good form today, and if he continues to play like this, he will definitely break the Atletico Madrid goal......

With this in mind, Zidane sat back in the dugout.

He was also worried that Real Madrid's attack would be frustrated after Mayoral came on the pitch, so he kept standing on the sidelines to supervise the game.

Now he can rest a little.

Blanco, who was in front of the TV, also laughed silently when he saw this scene.

He decided to be a Real Madrid fan on this day.

Applaud Real Madrid's every threatening attack.

This is not a betrayal of one's beliefs, but a temporary sacrifice for the benefit of Barcelona.

If Real Madrid hadn't been able to hold back Atletico Madrid, he wouldn't have done this.

After this game, he won't care about Real Madrid's life or death.

When the time comes, I will cheer for Barcelona with all my heart.

As the game continued, the atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu was made even more enthusiastic by Cristiano Ronaldo's encouragement, with cheers and cheers encouraging the Real Madrid players to reunite with each other.

Then even Mayoral got a chance to shoot in the Atletico Madrid penalty area, and if it weren't for the fact that he shot too right under Jimenez's close pressure and hit Oblak directly into Oblak's arms, he might have had a chance to break Atletico Madrid's goal and become a derby hero.

Cristiano Ronaldo was even more active, Carvajal sent a cross in front of the box, Jimenez headed in front of the goal, and Ronaldo jumped high in the middle with no markers!

"Cristiano Ronaldo !!" He Ping exclaimed.

The cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium suddenly jumped up a layer and became louder.

Amid thunderous cheers, Ronaldo pushed the ball towards the goal!

At this point, Oblak reacted like a god, he waved his hand up almost reflexively, and gently dragged the ball from Ronaldo, and the ball hit the crossbar, and then bounced back!

The bouncing ball landed right in Godin's controlled area, and he hurriedly pushed the ball directly out of the baseline with his head.

Even a corner kick for Real Madrid is better than letting Real Madrid form a second attack.

When he didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, pushing the ball off the line was almost the only option.

"Real Madrid's offensive is already ongoing...... This is their home stadium, and before that, they had not won against Atletico Madrid on their home turf for two consecutive seasons, and they would never allow a third ......"

As Real Madrid's offensive intensified during this period, the atmosphere in the stands of the Bernabeu became more and more enthusiastic.

From the corner, Ramos grabbed the spot, and he headed Jimenez high.

Although he didn't score, he still won a round of applause and cheers from the stands.

Looking at the team's performance, Real Madrid fans are hopeful of winning this game at home.
