Chapter 213: The Crippled Derby

Wen Zhihao is not a person who likes to find fault on the field, he is stimulated to chase someone to settle accounts, and instantly inspires the players on the field to fight**. If it weren't for Simeone's pre-game explanation, try to restrain his emotions and avoid needless red and yellow cards, it would definitely not be the captain Gabi who appeared at the place of the incident to stand up for Wen Zhihao.

Originally, the two sides were enemies with a narrow road, and the old enemies were very red when they saw each other, and the Atletico Madrid players wanted to take off the hat of the city's nemesis on their heads every time, and their emotions were already easily stimulated, seeing Ramos let go of Wen Zhihao, not only did he have no remorse, but also said, "I'll kick it, what can you do!" This Nima can also endure it?

What do you think of this place? Even the Bernabeu can't get used to seeing you so arrogant!

Scold!

Under normal circumstances, in addition to Casemiro, Kroos and Modric, including Isco, are masters of controlling the rhythm, and Real Madrid should be in control of the game. But the opposite was true, with Atletico attacking in the opening stages. Raphael Varane and Iker Casilla were in great form today, special games and top players know how to get the best out of themselves.

Wen Zhihao took the initiative to increase the intensity of running towards the Real Madrid penalty area, especially behind Ramos, and wanting to compete with Ramos is secondary, and the relatively easy opening of the gap in the left half of Real Madrid's left half of the defense is the more critical reason. Marcelo likes to plug in frequently in attack, and Wen Zhihao takes advantage of the space behind the opponent's left flank, and the range of movement is always within Ramos's sight. After suffering a small loss just now, Ramos had to turn some of his attention to him. Wen Zhihao wants this situation, and after fully mobilizing the Real Madrid defence, Saul, Koke and Griezmann will have more chances to deliver the real fatal blow.

In the coach's seat, Zidane stroked the top of his bare head, he was not worried about the current situation, but dissatisfied with the attitude of the players. On the surface, it is the pressure brought by Atletico Madrid's attack, and Zidane, as a former midfield master, can naturally see at a glance that the fundamental crux is in the midfield. As soon as the collective pressure of the Atletico midfielder came up, a small circle was immediately formed around him and he was directly encircled inside. Modric has a lot of experience, used his counter-tactics to make a few fouls, and made sure not to lose the ball, which is already the best result. At the same time, it shows how much pressure Atletico Madrid's overall pressing has caused, Modric did not dare to pass back to the backline, and Wen Zhihao ambushed between him and the defender, staring at his feet like a falcon.

However, Atletico's good situation did not come to fruition, and Real Madrid's defense was even better. Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos both played at the level of top centre-backs, and even if Atletico relied on team strength to tear apart their defences, there was still a defensive line in front of goal that would make attackers marvel - goalkeeper Casilla.

Correa's one-on-one save in the opening period was just the beginning of his performance in the derby. In the first 20 minutes, he made at least four wonderful saves, including a free kick from Wen Zhihao that ran to the dead corner, He Wei was too happy, and the cheers were just halfway through, Casilla almost blocked the ball with his head, He Wei could only hold back the celebration words prepared by the other half, and then joked: "Casilla is the busiest person on the field." He is only one word different from the name of Casillas, the god of meritorious doors, and today he is like a soul possessed by his predecessors. ”

However, giants like Real Madrid are very resistant to pressure and adaptability, and Atletico's pressure can make them passive, but it will never collapse. On the contrary, as time went on, Real Madrid fans began to expect a reversal. They are very familiar with Atletico's high-intensity pressing, which is in line with their usual style, and they did get nervous at the beginning of the game, but gradually became more relaxed as time went on, and they were convinced that the game would fall into Real Madrid's control. There is a historical basis for the key matches of the Champions League for two consecutive years.

About halfway through the first half, because Modric fell to the ground and injured himself in the scramble, the game was briefly interrupted for a few minutes, and the broadcast camera captured the picture of Ronaldo walking to the back of the team and communicating with Ramos.

Mention must also be made of the Champions League final between the two teams. Because it is very representative. When the two teams played 1:1 in regular time, before the start of extra time, when the Real Madrid players were in a circle on the sidelines, Ronaldo's performance was extremely similar, no one expected that in the half hour of extra time, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick, which was supposed to be a potentially suffocating final, and the final stage turned into a one-sided victory.

The wishes of the Real Madrid fans were good, but the reality was that until the end of the first half, the score did not change and Atletico played more freely.

Wen Zhihao's half-time performance was a little quiet. Every time it comes to key battles, the burden on his body is not lighter than that of the old players. Both the midfield and the forward line have a part of the task. Not as much of a sought-after focus as most Chinese fans would expect, but the value of a player is not entirely measured by goal stats. The curiosity and embarrassment in Ramos' eyes best illustrates how much Wen Zhihao's performance on the pitch has troubled the Real Madrid defence.

After the break, in the second half, both sides really showed their hole cards at the bottom of the box. Atletico Madrid's offensive end is as fast as ever, Wen Zhihao, as an important tactical support point, is surrounded by Kroos and Ramos, Atletico Madrid still has the determination to win in terms of momentum, but Wen Zhihao has too much energy to focus on the confrontation with the two stars, and Atletico Madrid's attack will naturally not be as efficient as in the first half. Real Madrid began to display their trademark quick counter-attacks. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has enough space in the frontcourt, is a truly inexplicable existence, and has repeatedly forced Godin to get the opportunity to directly threaten Atletico Madrid's goal.

However, this derby is not destined to be a holiday for attacking players. In the first half, Real Madrid goalkeeper Casilla stole the limelight from Wen Zhihao and others, and in the second half, Oblak began to show the attributes of the goalkeeper, and in the second half, with Real Madrid threatening again and again, Oblak became a source of amazement and cheers for the home team.

There is no shortage of confrontation and mutual disobedience on the field, and the fans do not feel monotonous and boring. Eighty minutes into the game, the fans found that both sides were thundering and raining, and there had been no goals so far, which had not happened in the past two seasons between the two sides, and it was even rarer for a derby.

Without goals and a flurry of red and yellow cards, the commentators would not have a window to express their passion. Garcia is the quintessential passionate commentator, who is both dissatisfied and helpless: "If it ends in a blank, it will be a broken derby." Yes, how can a derby be complete without a goal? The culprits should be the goalkeepers of both teams, and their outbursts seem very out of place, haha! ”
