Six of the last eight meetings in the past three seasons have been scored in the first ten minutes, making the Madrid derby the most famous blitzkrieg in La Liga.
Now, 10 minutes have passed, but there is no sign of a goal for either side, and Real Madrid's attack is basically no real threat.
Even as Real Madrid's starting center forward, Lin Dong opened ten minutes, let alone shoot, and even the chance to touch the ball was very rare.
This is a world of difference from the treatment of the opponent's center forward, and since the opening of the game, Atletico's attack has almost always revolved around Falcao, who is the absolute core of Atletico.
But in Real Madrid, Ronaldo is the absolute core, and now almost all the players on the field are Ronaldo's cronies, and all Lin Dong can do is a bridgehead.
For this situation, Alonso and Khedira are a little helpless, they play in the back, although it is possible to insert forward, but it depends on the timing, and it cannot be blindly inserted.
What's more, Alonso didn't pass the ball to Lin Dong, but Lin Dong lacked the ability to fight alone, so he could only hand over the ball.
After the game came to the eleventh minute, Real Madrid attacked again, and Alonso found Lin Dong with another long pass, but Lin Dong could only give the ball to Ronaldo.
Professionalism is a thing, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too strong, people, sometimes you have to be selfish, and this attack has become a spectator again.
It's not right, Lin Dong is still involved, as a fulcrum, and then rushes into the penalty area to draw the attention of the opponent's defenders for his teammates.
Atletico Madrid also seemed to have discovered Lin Dong's situation, so when Lin Dong rushed into the penalty area, Atletico's defense against Lin Dong was far less tight than at the beginning.
Two minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback, with Lin Dong still the indirect player, and it was Mesut Ozil who had the last shot on goal, and the German midfielder's long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area was denied by Courtois.
On the sidelines, Mourinho frowned, although the contradiction between him and Ronaldo was irreconcilable, but Mourinho still appreciated Ronaldo's professionalism.
At this point, in fact, the two are the same, and the two are desperate for victory, and can even give everything for it.
It's just that the reason why the two have come to this point is that their personalities are too strong, which may be the biggest difference between Ronaldo and Lin Dong.
Lin Dong is also eager to win, but Lin Dong will not be as domineering as Ronaldo, the trajectory of life determines character, and character determines fate to a large extent.
Cristiano Ronaldo is not destined to play under a manager who is too strong, and he needs everyone to follow him, which is perhaps the most important reason why he left Alex Ferguson for Real Madrid, even though Ferguson is already very fond of him.
When he was at Manchester United, in order to support Ronaldo to take the position, Ferguson sent Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was still in his prime, away, just because Ruud van Nistelrooy had a conflict with Ronaldo.
Also frowning is Atletico Madrid coach Simeone, Lin Dong has indeed had no chance to shoot since the opening, but a killer like Lin Dong, as long as there is such a chance, it is enough to make the opponent pay a painful price.
Especially when he saw that his disciple's defense of Lin Dong was becoming more and more lax, the uneasiness in Simeone's heart became stronger and stronger.
Indeed, the contradiction between Lin Dong and Ronaldo has been completely made public, not to mention Atletico Madrid, which is also in Madrid, but the whole of Europe and the whole world football know it.
However, this does not mean that the two cannot cooperate on the field, it is about the professionalism of a player, and both Lin Dong and Ronaldo are quite strong in this regard.
The more he thought about Simone, the more uneasy he became, but when he was about to remind his disciples, he found that it was too late.
On the pitch, the two teams switched attack and defence again, and after a failed attack by Atletico, the ball returned to Real Madrid, this time Alonso did not play a long pass, but entered the Atletico half under the cover of Khedira.
The passing between Ozil and Khedira, Alonso is an out-and-out midfield maestro, and Mesut Ozil may be one step away from the maestro, but his quality is undoubted.
The passing of the two tore apart Atletico Madrid's middle, Atletico's middle combination is very versatile, and I have to say that in terms of player tuning, Simeone has done quite well.
Compared to before, Atletico's squad has hardly changed, the players are still those players, but both the performance of the players and the team's record have now changed drastically.
However, this time, Atletico Madrid's central combination has completely become the background board of Real Madrid's attack, and after entering the hinterland of Atletico Madrid, Atletico's defensive strength is naturally attracted by the two.
Immediately Ronaldo inserted diagonally, Alonso immediately passed the ball when he saw this, and took the ball in the penalty area, especially if he was a player of Ronaldo's level, the result was self-evident.
Godin, the core of Atletico Madrid's defense was supposed to be keeping an eye on Lin Dong, but after Alonso and Ozil rushed up, Atletico Madrid's defense line was naturally insufficient.
So Godin gave up Lin Dong, after all, Ronaldo had never passed the ball to Lin Dong before, and the contradiction between the two was very clear as sworn enemies in the same city.
However, when Godin stood in front of Ronaldo, the Atletico Madrid central defender regretted it, even a defender, because he saw an unbelievable scene, Ronaldo passed the ball and pushed diagonally, and the object was Lin Dong, whom he had just abandoned.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~ The ball went in~~~ The goal went in~~~ Real Madrid broke the deadlock, and Real Madrid continued the tradition of the Madrid derby, which is the tradition of Real Madrid."
"The fifteenth minute of the game, this is the seventh time in the ninth game that the first fifteen minutes of the opening goal, Lin Dong ~~~ Lin Dong ~~~ Lin Dong, a push shot from the Real Madrid center, the first shot of the game."
"With the assist from Ronaldo, Real Madrid's core entered the penalty area to attract the last defender, Lin Dong's position was completely empty, and then Ronaldo made a diagonal pass, Lin Dong didn't even need to adjust when he received the pass, and he pushed it directly."
"Is this an incredible scene? ~~~No~~ It's normal, maybe their pursuit of each other keeps them from being friends, but their professionalism is enough for them to make the right choice at the right time. ”
"Two rounds ago, Lin Dong opened the scoring with an assist for the injured Ronaldo, and now, Ronaldo's assist gives Real Madrid the lead in the Madrid derby."
Real Madrid fans were embarrassed at first, but the opponent was Atletico Madrid, and they had to rest assured that they were embarrassed in the end, because after all, Lin Dong, they obviously cared more about this sworn enemy in the same city who had been entangled for almost a hundred years.
