Chapter 772: The Race to the End
(Go home tomorrow, take the train in the morning, and get home in the evening, eh~ By the way, thank you to the two brothers who rewarded a few days ago, I haven't received a reward for a long time)
In fact, Simeone's desire for stability is understandable, after all, Atletico Madrid has been tied twice, and now they are leading for the third time, and if they are really tied again, then the morale of the two sides will be completely reversed.
And Simeone knows very well that in terms of personal ability and team heritage, Atletico Madrid is not as good as Real Madrid, and it is understandable to inspire morale, but you must also see your own strength.
The game has restarted, and after Morata came on the pitch, Real Madrid also added long passes and crosses in due course, and Morata also really brushed up a wave of presence.
In the 65th minute, two minutes after the restart, Alvaro Morata had his first goal as a substitute, a header from inside the box.
From Marcelo's insertion of the cross, Simeone's entire substitution also has a lot to do with Marcelo's debut, with Marcelo's debut, Real Madrid's left attack is undoubtedly sharper, in this case, replacing a better frontal defense Alderweireld is undoubtedly more conducive to defense.
As for why Felipe and Juanfran were exchanged, the answer is actually obvious, Juanfran has a better defensive ability than Felipe.
Although Alderweireld failed to stop Real Madrid's attack, it firmly stuck Marcelo's cross-cutting route, and Alderweireld also needed to distract Ronaldo, so Alderweireld actually defended very well with this pass.
Atletico's two centre-backs are actually not very good in terms of height, a few centimeters shorter than Morata, and they have played 60 minutes, and they can't compare with each other's physical fitness.
Of course, it was impossible for Alvaro Morata to finish with ease, and the Real Madrid centre-forward's first attempt on goal ended in a deflection off the line.
But soon, the Real Madrid center-forward's second chance to attack the goal came, just three minutes after the back, Atletico Madrid's attack failed, or a cross, this time it was Bale's turn to cross, Morata was on top this time, but failed to cross Courtois's ten fingers.
Then Atletico also came with a cross, a cross from the side of Turan, and the cooperation of Juanfran went down, Lin Dong jumped high in the penalty area, and the header was slightly high under the interference of the defender.
In the ensuing wave of attacks, Ramos stepped in again, but this time Ramos appeared on the wing, and this time it was not Morata who grabbed the penalty in the box.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese is definitely one of the most anxious in the Real Madrid lineup, if this game is lost, maybe it will only be a loss for Real Madrid, but for Ronaldo, the loss will not only be a championship, but also shake his current position.
Yes, in today's football, Ronaldo and Messi are known as the peerless duo, whether Ronaldo admits it or not, Messi is a team at the same level as him, and a man who shares the throne.
But now, there is one more person on the throne that originally belonged to them, and there is one more person to share what originally belonged to them, which makes the proud Ronaldo accept.
"Header ~~~ Ronaldo's first header in this game ~~~" Ronaldo was desperate, he jumped very high and completely overpowered Miranda, but in the end his header did not have a top number because he jumped too high.
"Uh~~~ couldn't hold it down" López was a little speechless and didn't know how to blow.
But the game didn't stop with Cristiano Ronaldo's high header, and the game went on when Courtois took a goal kick that went over the back and into the feet of the Atletico Madrid captain in midfield.
Gabi crossed Thiago, Thiago took two steps with the ball and passed it back to Gabi, the Atletico captain observed a pick-up pass, Lin Dong jumped high in the heart of Real Madrid, and the header was knocked back.
Koke, except for a moment after appearing on the offensive end in the opening game, Koke is almost invisible, of course, this does not mean that Koke is performing poorly, on the contrary, if there is no sacrifice from Koke, it is impossible to say whether he can lead now.
It is precisely because Koke has disappeared for too long that the attention of Real Madrid players has not been on Koke, which also gives Koke the opportunity to sneak attack.
"Oh oh oh~~~ Real Madrid's defense has a loophole, Koke ~~~ rushed straight to the opponent's penalty area after receiving Lin's pass" rushed to the line of the Real Madrid penalty area, and Real Madrid's defenders reacted.
"Long shot ~~~~ Casillas ~~~ A wonderful save" Casillas made a lot of mistakes in this game, and he failed to react several times, but Casillas was lucky, and Atletico failed to send the ball into the goal after several mistakes, but the flaws were not hidden, and Casillas had many bright spots, and he made several wonderful saves to save Real Madrid.
Koke's long-range shot was fast, powerful, fast and angled, but even so, the ball was eventually blocked by Casillas.
Corner, tactical corner, Gabi fed the ball to Turan, who crossed diagonally back to Juanfran and the Atletico left-back's long-range shot from outside the box couldn't be suppressed.
In the 75th minute, Atletico Madrid used up the second substitution, Thiago, who was carrying a yellow card, was replaced by Suarez, this is the Champions League final, the consumption is not only physical, but also mental, and even mental is more serious than physical fitness.
As a 33-year-old veteran, Thiago has given his best before, and because of this, his consumption has fallen out of pace, and Simeone has clearly seen this.
That's why Suarez will be used to replace Thiago, otherwise Simeone will definitely not be replaced, after all, Thiago's rich experience is still very trustworthy, otherwise Simeone would not have started Thiago in this game.
There was also a bit of an unpleasant hiccup in the substitution, and in order to pass the time, Thiago went a little slow when he came off the pitch, which gave Real Madrid an excuse to attack.
Real Madrid players immediately rushed to the referee, Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane joined forces to put pressure on the fourth official, and Real Madrid fans booed to express their displeasure with Atletico.
Kujpels is undoubtedly an experienced referee, so when facing the surging Real Madrid crowd, Kujpels first reassured the Real Madrid crowd and said that he would give enough stoppage time before signaling Thiago to leave the field quickly.
It took almost two minutes before the game resumed, and Atletico consciously began to shrink their defence after the restart, which would undoubtedly boost Real Madrid's arrogance.
But it's a pity that Real Madrid's attack has always been a mirror, the flowers are blooming very brilliantly, and the fruit has never been able to bear fruit, and in ten minutes, Real Madrid hit an incredible six-foot goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, Morata, successively kicked overhead, but the ball always deviated from the Atletico goal, followed by Ronaldo, Modric and Marcelo, three long-range shots in a row, but the final result was only Courtois's praise.
