Volume VI Chapter 16 The Way of the Other

Real Madrid's opening two blitzes almost stunned Atletico Madrid, and it was just over five minutes after the opening game, and they were actually beaten twice deadly counterattacks!

If it weren't for David De Gea, who started today, they would have been two goals down by now, so how would they have to play the remaining 85 minutes to turn things around?

Just thinking about it makes me feel palpitations!

Carlo Ancelotti is aware of the problem and has a rough idea of Mourinho's arrangement, but knowing it does not mean that he will be able to solve it immediately, especially if he is already behind.

As it stands, they will have more confidence and patience to play Atletico Madrid's counter-attack, they can fail a few times, but if they succeed once, it will be fatal for Atletico.

He touched his chin and fell into deep thought again, his mind racing to think about what to do next!

At this time, in Atletico Madrid's penalty area, players from both sides tore and pulled each other's jerseys without giving in, competing for the space in the small penalty area, which was not large.

The referee did not blow the whistle until he confirmed that the two sides were moving within a range that he could accept, and then waved his hand to let Ozil wait for the kick-off in the corner flag area.

"Attention, attention, look at the ...... before stopping"

"People who are optimistic about themselves, don't miss ......"

As Ozil's corner kick was kicked, there was another shout in the penalty area, and then people stared at people, meat squeezing meat, all desperately grabbing the ball to the landing point!

"Bang", a tragic body collision, Martinez played the advantage of height this time, resisted Ibrahimovic, and took the lead to push the ball out of the penalty area.

"Marc ......, Alonso, he fouled and prevented a possible counterattack from Atletico," Maria explained.

Mack Qin took Alonso's hands and stood up, rubbed his chest, and said speechlessly: "Harvey, you are also dirty now, you can use your elbows"

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry", Alonso was not embarrassed at all, he had already expressed his friendship by coming over and pulling him up.

Mackin shook his head helplessly, taking advantage of this opportunity, the players of Real Madrid quickly returned to their positions, and they had to face positional battles again.

The score was behind, there was no delay, and when he got up and set it up, Mackin kicked the ball and led the team to the hinterland of Real Madrid again.

Real Madrid still maintained the defensive strategy they had set out at the beginning, not dwelling too much in the midfield, more symbolic pressing, just to slow down their advance. But once it reaches an area of about 35 meters, especially after these people in the front court receive the ball with their backs, the level of pressing rises sharply to the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

Moreover, Di Maria and Ronaldo on both wings must actively defend back, and the narrow area is stacked with 15 or 6 players on both sides, making Atletico's space and time to handle the ball extremely limited.

After Ma Qin commanded the test twice, he was not in a hurry to fight inside, the timing was not right!

Taking advantage of the catch to face the sidelines, he glanced at Ancelotti who was holding his chin and showing a thoughtful expression, knowing that he hadn't figured out how to adjust yet, so now he couldn't attack as hard as a stunned young man, and if Real Madrid stole one more, their morale would suffer a fatal blow.

Mesut Ozil came up to press and he turned and kicked the ball back to Martinez in the back, only Ibrahimovic was symbolically harassing at the back, and a triangular pass took him off the appetite for the scramble.

"Mr. Ma, it seems that the rhythm has been controlled", Zhan Jun looked at it for a while and said uncertainly, "It's not as close as the formation before Real Madrid's counterattack just now"

Judging from the live broadcast, in addition to the offensive trio of the front line, Mackin controlled the entire attack in the middle and long distance at a distance of 40 meters through passing scheduling during this time, and the fullbacks on both sides were pulled back.

Occasionally pass a kick forward, and after a teammate is chased back by the opponent, he will also pass the ball back in time, and he will also shout, "Don't worry, steady"

In this area, only Ronaldo will suddenly burst out and rush by relying on his speed, and the other Real Madrid players are holding on to their positions and letting Atletico Madrid pour the ball on the periphery.

"Well", Zhang Lu said at this time, "Atletico Madrid probably has to think about how to crack Real Madrid's defense, as well as how to defend against counterattacks, today Mourinho is a bit of a sword"

The inverted feet on the outside are not ineffective, Mackin is constantly watching Real Madrid's defensive organization, and today Sanchez and Juan Mata on their wings are clearly marked by the regional people, just don't let you turn around.

This also made him hesitate to insert forward, and he was also worried that if he didn't play well, his teammates would be cut off, and Real Madrid's counterattack would be like a fish in the throat.

"Increase the range of running", Makqin kept gesturing to the three people in the front court, as the core, he can't just wait for the coach, it will be very dull, and he must fine-tune his strategy according to the situation on the field at any time.

Receiving the ball in the middle again, Mackin gave Falcao a look not far ahead, and suddenly sent it to the side of the ball, Falcao retreated in the middle and leaned on Pepe, did not dare to stop the ball, but knocked back to Macco's running route.

This kind of wall-to-wall combination is now often used in their attacking system, and Alonso quickly moved laterally to defend, and on the way Mackin picked the ball behind Pepe's back with a light pick.

Sanchez, who had just withdrawn, quickly plugged in this gap, which was also a test for Mackqin, he wanted to see how the flow of Real Madrid's back line was today, and he dared to defend it like this.

He was a little disappointed as Ramos pressed very tightly to Sanchez, slowing him down, and Carvalho, who was in charge of the backfill, got to the ball first and drove it off the touchline with a big foot.

At this time, Ancelotti, who had been thinking about life, finally raised his head, ignored the ball falling beside him, and immediately waved to Martinez on the field to let him come, and then turned around and called Mataga over.

After explaining this and that, Juanfran on the sidelines immediately slowed down the pace of picking up the ball a little as soon as he saw it, which immediately attracted the boos of the scattered Real Madrid fans in the stands.

The two men nodded and immediately ran back to the field to convey the coach's instructions, and Mata first ran over and said to Mackqin: "The boss asked us to change positions more and use more gaps on the wings", and then went to explain to Sanchez and Falcao.

And the biggest change is in the backfield, Martinez and Silva came to a change, Silva played to the position of the back, and Martinez followed Ibrahimovic closely, obviously to be marked.

The next round showed the effect of this change, after Juanfran threw a throw-in, Juan Mata broke down the flank and was scrambled forward by the dexterous Marcelo.

This time Martinez was firmly behind Ibrahimovic, the two were about the same height, he did not let Ibrahimovic form a header ferry, and when Ibrahimovic wanted to resist the position and control the ball falling in the air, the more dexterous Silva quickly ran over and swept away the ball with one kick.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria, who had sprinted to the side in the small half, could only run back quickly, because Silva immediately handed the ball to the retreating Macklin!

"Martinez and Silva's sandwich, good ball, this ball is clean, there is no room for Ibrahimovic to handle the ball, Ancelotti's adjustment is also a stroke of genius, let Silva play in the back", Zhan Junjie said.

"I guess it's just to use his flexibility, Silva's pass is still almost like Martinez, but as a sweeping midfielder, he is more flexible, and Pepe on the opposite side is the same way," Zhang Lu said with a smile.

Snort, Mourinho smiled sarcastically on his face, he learned quite quickly!

"Athletic, athletic, we are Madrid...... Athletic", this successful defense drew enthusiastic cheers from the stands, and the momentum of the home field, which was a little dull just now, was revived again.

Makqin pressed with the ball, and the running range and position of the three people in the front court were more flexible than at the beginning, and they frequently switched positions to cooperate with the midfielder to make passes.

But Real Madrid's defense is still unmoved, admitting that the area is marked by people, no matter who you come over, we are the number of defensive roads.

Makqin frowned, just now Sanchez and Mata completed the switch, Mata retreated this time to meet Makqin, "You also come to the right side", Makqin passed the ball to him almost foot to foot, and then whispered.

With that, he quickly ran towards the right flank, and Juan Mata took his place, avoiding Mesut Ozil in the middle, kicking the ball back to Gabi and following Makqin away.

When he said that, he must have had an idea!

Gabi habitually looked for Macklin, saw him stop with his back in front of the right midfield penalty area, and immediately passed over, leaning on Coentrão, Macqin knocked back, just at the feet of Mata, who came up.

Mata sent a diagonal pass to Sanchez on the touchline without stopping, and Sanchez dribbled straight to the bottom, and Marcelo followed.

"This time Atletico attacked on the right flank", Maria continued, "Sanchez and Marc have both come, it seems that they are going to attack the left side of Real Madrid"

Real Madrid's defense was not in place today, Ronaldo defended back to the corner of the penalty area, Sanchez did not break through Marcelo, turned around with a sharp stop, and sent the ball to Juanfran who received it behind.

Juanfran hurriedly took advantage of Ronaldo's failure to come up and knocked it to Mackin with a cross, and if he slowed down, Ronaldo's explosiveness might be cut off.

The small area of personnel is dense, which finally caused a little confusion in Real Madrid's defensive marking, and when Macqin crossed to Mata again and resolutely inserted into the penalty area, Coentrão didn't know whether to follow or not!

"Keep up", Alonso's voice directly solved Coentron's problem, and he turned around and chased after Macklin.

Mata made a gesture straight to Mackchen, but pushed the ball sideways to the position of Mackqin just now, and Sanchez, who came back, cut directly with the ball!

"Beautiful, Atletico Madrid's continuous cooperation in front of the penalty area on the right side, Sanchez can't mark for the time being!" , Maria exclaimed, this opportunity is not easy.

Because Marcelo didn't push it out like Coentrão, if Mackin had been a goal, he could have shot directly from a distance, but Sanchez's left foot was obviously not good.

But he didn't want to shoot from a distance, Real Madrid's left side was obviously not as strong as the right side with Pepe and Ramos, he took a step and immediately sent it diagonally straight to the corner of the small penalty area at the near post!

Carvalho, who was dragging behind, suffered a big loss this time, because he had to help defending, he obviously dragged back more than the entire backline, so when Sanchez passed the ball, when Macqin crossed Coentrão, the linesman did not raise the flag!

"Sanchez's through stopper, Mark ......", Maria suddenly raised her voice, like the whole Calderón was whining, it was the anticipation waiting for the goal!

Carvalho hurriedly turned around like a ball to chase, Mackin had already turned on to the maximum speed, and Casillas also rushed out to block.

Put the shovel, spread your arms and pounce, and burst with one kick!

Three people, three different reactions!

In the corner of the small forbidden area, it suddenly gathered, and then broke out!

Without thinking much about it, Mark rushed straight over, it was a left-footed blast, because there was no time for them to play any tricks, and if they were slow for a millisecond, the ball would be destroyed!

"Boom", Casillas subconsciously turned his head to dodge the white light rushing to his face, which was everyone's subconscious action, and then he heard another "boom".

The audience is boiling!

"Goaaaal......, Mark, Mark, they equalized, GoalGoal ......", Maria shouted frantically, "Atletico Madrid's series of exquisite passes and connections finally tore apart Real Madrid's defense on the right flank"

"Mark, a blast into the top corner!" ,“Goaaaaal……”

The net flower trembled, and Makqin turned around and ran wildly to the fans on the sidelines, shouting frantically all the way, "Ahhh......hh

Ancelotti's face was flushed with excitement, and his arms were clenched tightly in front of his chest, and he knew it! , these boys will definitely be able to pull it back!

"Damn Real Madrid, you can't take away the victory, you can't even take a point, haha......"

"See, this is Calderón, you can't win......"

The entire stand was immediately filled with all kinds of shouts, like a flash flood, rushing towards the white players on the field and Mourinho on the sidelines.

"Ah......", the Atletico player hugged Mackin in front of the camera on the sidelines, "this is Calderón, you can't win......"

Mourinho stared closely at the big screen above the stands, trying to make sure there was any offside......
