Chapter 254: Lost

"High!! Hidden and subtle heel shot! Hit all Real Madrid's defenders by surprise! ”

Amid the cheers of José Maria, Gao Zheng ran to the south stand of Calderón Stadium and patted the Atletico Madrid emblem on his chest vigorously.

In the same city derby against Real Madrid, celebrating a goal in such a way really stimulates the emotions of Atletico Madrid fans.

Sure enough, after seeing Gao Zheng's celebratory action, the South Stand responded to Gao Zheng with the warmest cheers.

A player who can always break through the goal of their rivals in the derby and bring victory to the team is their derby hero.

At the Calderón Stadium, the five-star red flag fluttered, but if you look closely, it is not the Chinese fans who are waving the Chinese flag, but the fans of Madrid, Spain. Because of Gao Zheng, they became China's flag bearers.

Diego Simeone rushed out of the dugout, raised his arms and shouted, and then hugged assistant coach Boggs, who picked Simeone up and then spun around with him.

Atletico Madrid fans at the Estadio Calderón celebrated the goal as they finally turned the score from behind to leading.

This gives them hope of winning this game.

Real Madrid fans, on the other hand, were dumbfounded.

In front of the Real Madrid goal, Keylor Navas was still lying on the ground, but he was actually dying when he fell to the ground - he tried to block Gao Zheng's shot with his legs dragged behind, but apparently he failed.

Now he is lying on the turf, listening to the deafening cheers of the Atletico Madrid fans, hiding his face with his hands, painful and disappointed.

The lead is gone, and now it's even behind.

As the team's goalkeeper, he failed to protect Benzema's goal, and he blamed himself.

Like him, there are other Real Madrid players, most of whom have their heads in their hands and their faces are not very good-looking.

The only exception is Cristiano Ronaldo.

While everyone was frustrated and painful about conceding the ball, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth with a fierce expression.

This is the time for him to show his determination and awareness!

After the game restarted, Atletico Madrid, which was one goal ahead, did not continue to chase after the victory and strive to expand the score, but contracted the defense and played a defensive counterattack.

Now it's Atletico Madrid's turn not to rush.

Simeone still has confidence in his team's backline.

Of course, he also has confidence in Gao Zheng, he believes that Real Madrid will fully consider Gao Zheng when counterattacking, and dare not really press with all his strength and pour out of the nest, so that the pressure on Atletico Madrid's back line is much less.

Atletico Madrid tightened their defense and Real Madrid got more shots on goal, or in other words, Cristiano Ronaldo got more shots on goal.

It's just that in the face of Atletico Madrid's ironclad defense, he has no better way to break through Atletico Madrid's goal.

And the more anxious he is, the harder it is to score.

Sometimes, it's not a good chance, and he just shoots straight at goal, and he doesn't pass the ball to his teammates at all.

Of course, his teammates may not dare to criticize him. But Real Madrid's attacking chances were wasted.

In the 80th minute, Benitez replaced Benzema with Mateo Kovacic in the intention of creating more attacking chances.

But this substitution caused Benzema's dissatisfaction, he kept a cold face when he was replaced, and when he walked past the head coach Benitez, he didn't even greet the head coach, or Benitez took the initiative to pull him and whispered a few words beside him, comforting Benzema.

But Benzema's face still hasn't looked good.

Benzema was understandably unhappy with the substitution, but he was in okay form for the game, and he certainly wanted to stay on the pitch and contribute to the team when the team was behind. Maybe it was his goal that helped the team equalize in the end?

As a result, Benitez didn't give himself such a chance at all and replaced himself.

Of course, he doesn't expect Benitez to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, who is constantly wasting opportunities, but at least he has to keep himself on the pitch......

Benzema, who was off the field, sat on the bench and watched the game with cold eyes.

Now the game has nothing to do with him.

Benitez's tweaks didn't work.

Real Madrid's attack did not improve, but Atletico Madrid's counterattack played impressively.

In the 91st minute, Carrasco almost extended Atletico Madrid's lead.

His shot from the edge of the box was saved by Keylor Navas.

If this goal is scored, it can kill the game directly.

But even so, time is running out for Real Madrid.

After four minutes of stoppage time, the referee on duty, Marienko, blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"It's over! Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 2-1 at home! Once again, they won the Madrid derby! They avenged their defeat from the Champions League by Real Madrid last season! José Maria said this, but he was wrong, so that the Atletico Madrid players would not feel that they would be able to avenge their elimination from the Champions League by winning a league game.

Their account with Real Madrid was not so simply written off.

After the game, Gao Zheng was voted the best of the game in the ratings of many media, he made two penalties in the game, and also scored a goal to overtake the score himself, such a performance, the best of the game is well-deserved.

And his rival, the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, was given a 5.5 by the media, and he even failed!

Of course, Ronaldo's performance in the game was really not very good, and he was not seen most of the time. Real Madrid's top scorer was Karim Benzema with 7.2 points, followed by Keylor Navas with 6.9 points.

The lowest scorer was Ramos, because he gave Gao Zheng two penalties in the game, and he also carried a yellow card in the first half, and lost his combat effectiveness early.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, blamed the referee for the loss. They thought it was all too rare that the referee was able to award Real Madrid two fouls in the box and give Atletico Madrid two penalties in half-time.

'The second penalty, I don't think it was a foul...... And this penalty changed the course of the game...... "Despite the live video testimony, Benitez still lashed out at the referee on duty Marienko in the post-match press conference, the implication is that if there is no penalty award, Real Madrid will not be equalized, will not be in a panic if they are not equalized, will not be in a panic and impatient, will not be scored another goal by Atletico Madrid, and will not lose the game.

As soon as he said this, the faces of the reporters at the scene stiffened a little......
