Chapter Forty-Nine: Momentum

Cristiano Ronaldo, who celebrated the goal, also glanced at Gao Zheng when he ran back to his half, but Gao Zheng didn't see him this time, so he couldn't directly convey his emotions through his eyes.

But it doesn't matter, it's just the beginning, and there will be more goals to come.

He'll make that stinky boy understand what will happen to him by him off!

This goal is just the beginning!

The television broadcaster gave him a close-up, and the commentator José Maria explained to the audience in front of the television set: "This is Ronaldo's second league goal of the season, his seventh against Atletico Madrid, and five goals in the last six times against Atletico Madrid...... For Atletico Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably their number one killer! ”

Later, the TV broadcast gave a close-up to Gao Zheng, although the TV broadcaster did not know the grudge between Gao Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, but this did not prevent them from doing so, because Gao Zheng is the top scorer in the Atletico Madrid team now, and when the team encounters a backward position, everyone will naturally focus on him, and the camera lens is just replacing everyone's sight.

Gao Zheng in the lens was expressionless, and he couldn't see anything special.

While the Real Madrid players were celebrating their goals, he was already standing in the centre circle with Antoine Griezmann waiting for the kick-off.

Both of them are playing in the Madrid derby for the first time in the league, and there are still a lot of differences from the Madrid derby of the Spanish Super Cup that they have just played, and they have felt it.

It's all city derbies, but Real Madrid in the league is clearly tougher to deal with.

This can be seen in the game after Atletico Madrid scored the goal, Real Madrid's offensive wave after wave, almost not giving Atletico Madrid a chance to breathe.

And Siqueira's foul was just a normal reaction that couldn't be held back under continuous pressure.

After the game restarted, Real Madrid's offensive did not stop, Atletico Madrid had to recycle the defense across the line, Griezmann recovered deeper than Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng could still be at the front, ready for the team to counterattack.

Sometimes Gao Zheng will also be involved in defense, but his defense is more symbolic, going up to force it simply, or getting stuck in one passing route, but Real Madrid players can pass the football away from another route. It is unrealistic to expect Gao Zheng to be able to directly break the ball and launch a counterattack.

In the 32nd minute, Toni Kroos passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who picked up the ball on the right flank and cut inside before firing a low shot from the edge of the box that went just wide of the near corner.

Kroos and Karim Benzema soon had chances to shoot from outside the box, but they both shot wide of the bottom line......

In the 39th minute, Modric sent a long diagonal pass to the right in midfield, and it was Cristiano Ronaldo who received the ball on the wing.

This time, he pulled very closely, and he was basically almost in the corner flag area.

It wasn't until he received the ball that Siqueira came running. But as soon as he ran to Cristiano Ronaldo, as soon as the opponent lifted his foot, Siqueira stretched out his foot to block, and it turned out to be just a feint.

Ronaldo raised his foot and dribbled the ball to the middle, then dodged Siqueira and dribbled towards the penalty area!

"Ronaldo, here we go again!"

Dong Jin's heart tightened when he heard this, although he didn't like Cristiano Ronaldo very much, but he had to admit that this was the most threatening player in the Real Madrid team.

"Siqueira can't catch up...... Cross, Ronaldo crosses! Karim Benzema's header——!! ”

Jose Maria's roar made Dong Jin think the ball was going to be scored, but immediately after him, he heard another exclamation: "Moya!!" He made a great save! Almost blocked Benzema's header on the goal line! ”

After Ronaldo's cross, Benzema stepped in and jumped high and pressed the whole body on Miranda, pushing the ball into the near corner of the goal.

It was almost a must-score chance, but Moya made a brilliant save to keep the ball out.

The ball that he had blocked fell back into the box, causing a flurry.

In the final chaos, the football was cleared.

Hearing on the radio that the siege was successfully solved, Dong Jin sighed.

※※※

'Benzema missed a great chance to score! Real Madrid have been very aggressive during this period and after the equaliser they intend to build on their efforts to take the lead. Under Real Madrid's fierce attack, Atletico Madrid basically has no chance to fight back, and so far, Real Madrid has had thirteen shots on goal, while Atletico Madrid only has a pitiful three...... On the pitch, they were completely overwhelmed by Real Madrid. If it continues like this, Atletico Madrid will concede a goal......"

Ray Hudson, the English-language TV station that broadcasts La Liga, is analysing the situation on the pitch for the audience, and Real Madrid's advantage is very clear during this time.

Atletico Madrid hasn't had a decent attack for a long time, and as the center of Atletico Madrid, Gao Zheng hasn't appeared in close-ups for a long time.

He was more involved in defending at the back, constantly running around and blocking the passing routes from Real Madrid's midfield. But he alone had little effect.

"Gao shouldn't be on the camera defensively......" Ray Hudson said. His specialty is not defense, but offense. But it's a pity that Atletico Madrid can give him too little support in attack now, they themselves are almost out of breath by Real Madrid's attack, the only good news is that the break is just a few minutes away, and hopefully Atletico Madrid can make appropriate adjustments at halftime. The bad news was that Simeone wasn't allowed to be in the dressing room at halftime, so ...... The situation at Atletico Madrid is not optimistic! ”

After a few minutes, Gao Zheng finally appeared in a close-up, but it still had nothing to do with the offense, but instead he kicked down Tony Kroos in the defense.

Gao Zheng, who fouled the foul, had a very good attitude, and immediately went to La Crosse to show friendship.

Using a foul to suspend Real Madrid's wave of offense can be regarded as Gao Zheng's contribution to Atletico Madrid's defense.

But that doesn't change the big picture.

A minute later, Real Madrid were awarded a corner kick from which James was won by Pepe in the box, but the Portuguese centre-back's header was deflected wide again.

In this game, Real Madrid's attack was overwhelming, but the ability to take advantage of opportunities is really not flattering. It's no wonder that Cristiano Ronaldo has shaken his hands again and again to express his displeasure.

Pepe's header was deflected wide and Real Madrid's last chance to attack in the first half.

It wasn't long before referee Laos blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Although they couldn't continue to score, both Real Madrid's players and fans were full of expectations for the second half.

They even wanted to skip the half-time break and go straight to the second half.

Everyone can see that with this momentum, Real Madrid will score sooner or later.
