Because Zidane made an adjustment to slow down the tempo, Real Madrid did not put heavy troops in front of their penalty area, and defended Atletico Madrid's attacking players strictly, especially Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng could only choose to retreat and come outside the penalty area to meet his teammates.

That kept him away from goal.

In many people's minds, when a striker moves away from goal, the threat he can pose to the goal plummets.

A striker's threat to goal is often proportional to their distance from goal.

However, Gao Zheng is not an ordinary striker.

He's the kind of player who can threaten the goal no matter where he is on the pitch.

Sometimes it's a direct threat by being on the pitch, and sometimes it's an indirect threat to the goal by passing or organising.

Real Madrid pushed him out of the penalty area, but because of the recovery of the defense and slowing down the tempo, Gao Zheng was left with more space to move outside the box.

Gao Zheng is not fixed in one place, and his exit from the penalty area is more like a front-court attacking free man.

Appears anywhere it may appear.

Therefore, pushing Gao Zheng out of the penalty area did not reduce the pressure on the Real Madrid backline, but made them more pressured, because it felt that Gao Zheng could attack anywhere and at any time......

The only strength to sustain them at this point is time – with stoppage time and less than ten minutes left before the end of the game.

With less than 10 minutes to get past them, they can beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 and regain victory on their home turf.

Although Real Madrid have beaten Atletico Madrid once at the Calderón Stadium this season, it is not enough for Real Madrid.

After all, Atletico Madrid have beaten them at the Bernabeu for three consecutive seasons, and if they can't beat Atletico Madrid on their own homefront, this revenge will not be revenge.

Ten minutes of hard play should have been able to hold on to the lead – and the Real Madrid players have that confidence in their hearts.

Gao Zheng once again picked up the ball outside the box, and in front of him, two Real Madrid defenders, Ramos and Carvajal.

Right wing-back Carvajal was brought in the box to play as centre-back.

The wing defense was given to Vazquez, who had just been substituted.

Vázquez replaced the exhausted Tony Kroos.

Vázquez was originally an attacker, a winger, a full-back. However, he also has a good characteristic, that is, he will do whatever the manager asks him to do, without any words and complaints.

He can play both as an attacker and as a full-back on the pitch.

Zidane now has him as a full-back because he is fast, can run and has a lot of fighting spirit.

At this time, the new force with excellent individual ability also helps the team to stabilize the defense.

Gao Zheng is now in the rib zone in front of the Real Madrid penalty area, facing the defense of Ramos and Carvajal.

Actually, he brought the ball from the wing.

The first person to confront him was Vázquez.

In the face of Vazquez's defense, Gao Zheng did not choose to break through the bottom directly, but dribbled horizontally.

Vazquez didn't dare to grab it, so he escorted Gao Zheng to the ribs and handed it to Carvajal and Ramos, and then he hurried back to his own defense area, for fear that after Gao Zheng transferred him out, he quickly passed the football to the side.

There, Atletico Madrid's full-back Felipe was indeed inserted, so Vazquez had to go back.

At the same time, he is also very relieved of his teammates.

With Ramos and Carvajal to contain Gao Zheng, this lineup is luxurious enough.

So he returned to his position, staring at Felipe to prevent him from acting rashly, while glancing at Gao Zheng's side from time to time, paying attention to the battle situation.

He saw Carvajal take the lead and press forward, wanting to break Gao Zheng's original rhythm.

In the face of Carvajal's step, Gao Zheng's response was to use the outside of his right foot to gently move the football sideways to the middle, which is also a general reaction of conditioned reflex, and it is a choice that many players will make when facing this situation.

If you're just playing against a defender, that's fine.

But the problem is that next to Carvajal, there is Ramos!

Gao Zheng dialed the football to the middle, isn't this equivalent to changing direction to Ramos?

How could Ramos let go of this mouthful of fat?

Sure enough, Vázquez saw Ramos take a step forward very quickly and stretched out his foot to stab the football!

He wanted to cut off Gao Zheng's ball while Gao Zheng had not completely gotten rid of Carvajal's entanglement and was too busy to take care of himself!

It's true that Gao Zheng hasn't gotten rid of Carvajal's defense yet, but that doesn't mean his legs can't......

Gao Zheng, who is 1.9 meters tall, has a pair of long legs, which is a well-known thing.

So just when Ramos thought he could stab the football away, he saw Gao Zheng's right leg stretched out, and then before he was about to touch the football, he suddenly shook his ankle and hooked the football back!

No, it's not entirely correct to say that the football was hooked back, because Gao Zheng didn't simply hook the football back to himself, he threw the football in front of him, and let the football run between Ramos and Carvajal!

This is a trick with a bull's tail!

The oxtail passing action is not a very rare and rare action on the court. However, when facing two people to defend head-on, there are generally more players who choose to use "croquettes" to pass the game.

Oxtail is more used in one-on-one.

But Gao Zheng used a bulltail to pass between Ramos and Carvajal today!

Then he quickly got between them while neither of them reacted!

Catch up with the soccer ball and fight into the penalty area!

"Gao Zheng!! Beautiful, he's in!! He Ping yelled excitedly.

José Maria also propped her hands on the commentary seat, leaning forward, her ass long since left the chair.

※※※

When Gao Zheng drilled past Ramos, Ramos reacted, and he reflexively wanted to pull Gao Zheng.

But he didn't hold it.

It's not that he hesitated and didn't hold it, but as soon as his hand touched Gao Zheng's arm, he was thrown away by Gao Zheng very hard!

Ramos didn't expect Gao Zheng's reaction to be so tough, and his hand was even numb when he was thrown away, as if he had been beaten by electricity......

"High! He shook Ramos off—"

Gao Zheng, who entered the penalty area, glanced up at the goal, and at the same time adjusted his pace under his feet.

Keylor Navas had moved to the near corner, blocking the angle of his shot, while pressing down slightly, and his knees were like knees, starting to build up and ready to save.

But in fact, he was very nervous, because he didn't know which way Gao Zheng would kick the football with this kick......

Is it the near angle?

Or the far angle?

He saw Gao Zheng's raised foot and kicked the football!

If you wait for Gao Zheng to shoot the football out and then make a save, it is likely to be too late.

So Navas now has to take a gamble.

He chooses the far corner!

He pounced!

He was right!

Gao Zheng kicked the football to the far corner!

But......

It's not a powerful low volley that can be just in Navas's coverage.

Gao Zheng, this is a kick!

After the football was rubbed up by him, it flew directly over the body of goalkeeper Navas and flew high into the back corner of the goal.

Navas, on the other hand, looked up at the football below, unable to do anything about the shot, and could only pray to God, praying that Gao Zheng's shot would lose its accuracy and the football would fly off the line......

But God's followers are sometimes really confused, because their Lord is on the side of Gao Zheng, an atheist!

On this point, Blanco, a media journalist in Catalonia, is probably the deepest......

And this time, it is clear that God is on Gao Zheng's side again.

The ball he had picked up made a parabola in the air and then grazed the underside of the crossbar and crashed into the goal.

This height was such that Nacho, another Real Madrid defender who was chasing back the goal and wanted to jump up and kick the football out, fell to the ground without touching the football......

“GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL！！！！”

It's been a long time.
