Chapter 610: The Show Begins
Atletico kicked off, Lin Dong pushed forward, Costa took the ball and passed back to Gabi behind him, Benzema immediately rushed over to interfere, forcing Gabi to continue to pass back.
The ball came to Godin's feet and then to Felipe, who took two steps forward with the ball and passed it back into the middle as the two formations were officially opened.
Thiago picked up the ball and was cut off by Karim Benzema in the final moments of the first half, but Thiago looked more cautious, watching behind him as early as Felipe's pass.
But soon, everyone's attention fell on the front line, because Lin Dong, whether it was in Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, or even pulled the morale of Lazio, Lin Dong was always the one at the front, but after the start of the second half of the game, Atletico Madrid became Costa at the front.
Yes, Lin Dong retreated, maybe this is a normal thing for other players, but this happened to Lin Dong differently.
"Isn't this a self-defeating martial arts?" This is not only the doubts of the commentators, but also the doubts of all the fans who know Lin Dong who watched this game.
Because according to the technical characteristics that Lin Dong has always shown, the closer he is to the goal, the greater the threat and pressure on the opponent, and what can he do if he is as far away from the goal as he is now?
For a long time, Lin Dong has not been what Ronaldo and Messi can do, what Ronaldo and Messi can do, Lin Dong has almost never done, of course, what Lin Dong can do, Ronaldo and Messi can't do.
In faraway England, in Europe's largest city, London, there are also many fans who are interested in this game, such as the current Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
This past summer, Chelsea were definitely the most solid suitors for Lin Dong, after all, Chelsea are experienced in using a center forward like Lin Dong.
In fact, Chelsea was also Lin Dong's most important subordinate at the beginning, but all this changed with Mourinho's change of mind.
Mourinho gave Lin Dong trust, but he destroyed this trust with his own hands, at this stage, Lin Dong can play under any manager's account, but Mourinho can't.
In fact, Mourinho also contacted Raiola this summer, but unfortunately, Raiola ignored Mourinho at all, and then Mourinho also called Lin Dong, but his phone did not get through.
This time, Mourinho finally determined that it was impossible for Lin Dong to have anything to do with him, because each other's phone numbers were all private numbers, and since they couldn't get through, there was only one reason, Lin Dong didn't want to have any contact with him.
In this regard, Mourinho should have thought about it a long time ago, and after working with Lin Dong for more than a year, Mourinho couldn't help but understand Lin Dong.
It is precisely because of this understanding that Mourinho will be puzzled at this moment, you know, when he was in Real Madrid before, even if his tactical needs, Lin Dong was reluctant to retreat, how could he take the initiative to retreat now.
As for being completely killed by Ramos and Pepe, this also makes Mourinho full of puzzlement, as their former co-manager, Mourinho has a clear understanding of their abilities.
Ramos and Pepe are indeed the top central defenders in today's football, but Lin Dong is not good at stubble, if he is really completely killed by Ramos and Pepe, then why does he attack Ronaldo, why does he want to replace Ronaldo.
In fact, Lin Dong quickly proved Mourinho's guess with his performance, but even if Mourinho had some guesses and doubts, he was still shocked after really seeing Lin Dong's performance.
On the pitch, Atletico's first wave of attack was soon launched, and after the two sides opened up in formation, Thiago found Lin Dong who had retreated to almost the center circle.
However, Lin Dong did not put on a surprise performance, holding the ball towards the heart of Real Madrid a few steps, waiting for the defenders to come, and then immediately passed the ball.
Turan, Atletico Madrid's first wave of attack at the beginning of the second half was really initiated by Turan and Costa, as for Lin Dong, he was mercilessly ridiculed by Real Madrid fans immediately after the ball was passed.
Lin Dong played for Real Madrid last season, so as Real Madrid fans, don't they know Lin Dong? In the game of Lin Dong last season, I have never seen this cargo dribble more than three meters.
Atletico's first wave of attack was not threatening, although Turan's breakthrough was wonderful, he changed direction with a bicycle to cross Arbeloa, but it was a pity that Costa's final kick was a little flattering, and the ball was too high over the crossbar.
Atletico's first wave of attacks failed to create much of a threat, but Real Madrid's first wave of attacks did create a big threat, and Isco took the ball into Atletico's half and split the ball.
Bale, the world's martial arts, only fast is not broken, and speed is Bale's biggest weapon, in the face of Juanfran after receiving the ball, Bale directly used his unparalleled speed to wipe out the Atletico fullback.
After cutting inside and wiping Juanfran Bale, he immediately launched an attack on the Matji penalty area and quickly rushed into the Atletico penalty area to face Miranda.
Or speed, because Bale didn't let Miranda get close to direct at all, Miranda's reaction was fast, but Bale's reaction was faster, and before Miranda came over, Bale had already got up and shot low.
Courtois didn't expect Bale to shoot straight at all, so he was a step slow when he saved, but fortunately, God was on Atletico's side at the moment, and Bale's low shot eventually hit the post.
The bounced ball just landed at the feet of Miranda, if it fell at the feet of the impatient Godin, maybe it would give Real Madrid a throw-in or corner, but falling at the feet of the calm Miranda, it became a counterattack by Atletico Madrid, a counterattack that shocked the world.
Miranda glanced up at the ball, then slotted it out of the box and into Thiago's feet before Bale rushed over.
Isco and Luka Modric immediately rushed towards Thiago, who was even less likely to stick to the ball, so he made another pass.
A straight pass, a straight forward pass, the ball flew back from Modric, flew into the center circle of Real Madrid, and came to the feet of Lin Dong, who was standing in the center circle at the moment.
The unthinkable happened, as Lin Dong turned around immediately after taking control of the ball, and then pushed forward with his left foot to attack Real Madrid's half.
"Oh oh oh~~~ What do I see? Could it be that Lin is going to attack with the ball himself? López's tone trembled slightly.
You know, as the leading commentator of the Spanish National Radio 6, Lopes has commented hundreds of games, large and small, but there are not many games that can surprise him with deformed tones, you can imagine how surprised Lopez is at this moment?
