Until the end of the first half, the two sides were still tied 0-0.

The suspense of the game is still unresolved, but in the confrontation game between the two teams' managers, Simeone has already won first.

Atletico Madrid also proved through this half that they are still a team that plays as a whole, Wen Zhihao and Antoine Griezmann are just some of the outstanding individuals, rather than relying solely on the performance of individual players to drag the team forward.

Due to Wen Zhihao's astonishment throughout the season, it somewhat covered up the advantages of Atletico Madrid's overall operation, and in the first half, everyone saw Atletico Madrid's traditional hardness and speed, without Wen Zhihao and Griezmann, he can still be equal to Real Madrid.

Seeing Atletico Madrid's good performance, He Wei was also very pleased, saying: "Simeone is equivalent to letting Zidane have a car and a shot in the first half, but Real Madrid still has no checkmate Atletico Madrid's army, and I am afraid there will be no such opportunity in the second half." Because Wen Zhihao doesn't seem to have any problems. He's walking shoulder-to-shoulder with Antoine Griezmann on his way to the tunnel, and if nothing else, he'll be on the second half. ”

Due to the broadcast, the camera did not cut to Wen Zhihao's side, but He Wei was at the scene and saw it clearly in the commentary seat. The good news was reported to all Chinese fans as soon as possible.

Many people's hearts that are still hanging are immediately put in their stomachs. That's the big news, in the second half, there's something to look forward to.

Zidane's main job in the midfield lounge is to highlight the key points of attack and defense for everyone, and tell everyone to be more patient, after all, when Wen Zhihao is not there, Atletico Madrid's attacking side has much less variation and routines, as long as there is a little mention, these players themselves know what to do.

Simeone, on the other hand, was about to start making substitutions in the second half. First to come on is Antoine Griezmann.

In fact, there are no injuries for the two. It's just that Simeone is very cautious, considering that the league and the Champions League are also at the last moment, he insisted on getting half time for the two in today's Copa del Rey.

He was very satisfied in the first half, but in the really brutal second half, it had to be up to CG's fixed combination.

As for why he didn't replace Wen Zhihao at the same time, Simeone knows Real Madrid very well about this opponent, and it is not yet time to see the poor dagger.

Griezmann started the second half with a certain tactical suddenness, and he did not expect Zidane to take the initiative to strengthen the attack when the score did not change. In a two-legged home-and-away game, it is risky for the home team to rush into attack. Once the opponent is sneak attacked, it succeeds. The disadvantage of one goal is the pressure to score two goals.

It wasn't until Antoine Griezmann came on and replaced Torres that Zidane knew he had miscalculated again.

But he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Wen Zhihao hadn't gotten on it yet. Without Wen Zhihao's full support in midfield, Griezmann would not have been able to fire at full risk. Zidane still has confidence in this top-class defensive line.

As long as Wen Zhihao does not play, there is no problem for the back line to play normally.

Zidane is not in a hurry to replace Bale, that is also his backhand, as long as Simeone does not replace Wen Zhihao, he is not in a hurry at all.

……

There is Griezmann in the forward line, it is indeed much better than Costa and Torres's forward twin towers, although Griezmann also has to undertake part of the front-court tandem tasks, did not play all the ability to run without the ball, but also greatly enriched the offensive tactics, between him and Costa, relying on the tacit understanding cultivated by actual combat, is not Torres can replace.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Atletico had a rare chance of gaining a pressing advantage against Real Madrid. The midfield combination of Gabi and Saul faced Kroos and Casemiro and was not far behind. Although the two don't have the physical qualities of Thomas's intimidation, their experience and more comprehensive offensive and defensive capabilities can make up for this shortcoming.

The two sides are already familiar with each other's weaknesses, Atletico Madrid knows very well that the weakness of Real Madrid's defense is at the point of Nacho, who rotated today, Atletico Madrid's offensive focus naturally shifted to his side, Griezmann also frequently tried to run widely, broke through his defense line that led Real Madrid to chaos, and looked for opportunities to strike a fatal blow.

Atletico have been able to increase the tempo of their attacks in a targeted manner, and the results have been remarkable. In the 55th minute, Griezmann and Carrasco combined to break through the space behind Nacho, Griezmann broke through to the box and crossed, accurately found Costa, who jumped high at the back post, and headed Navas's ten fingers.

“goooooal!!! Or Antoine Griezmann can play a key role, Simeone's substitution effect is immediate! Garcia was quite excited.

After the score fell behind, Zidane calmed down, called midfield commander Modric to the sidelines, and said; "Pass Cristiano a lot, it's time for him to show his superstar value."

Real Madrid will intensify their attack next, which everyone can predict, but Real Madrid's counterattack will be effective so quickly is completely unexpected.

Less than three minutes into Atletico's lead, Real Madrid equalised. Set-piece on the left side of the front, Modric moved into the penalty area, Ronaldo jumped high in the middle, but it was a false shot, taking away the attention of the two defenders around him, and Benzema at the back point took the opportunity to head through the Atletico goal.

Zidane clenched his fists and the goal was the best response.

The two goals in a short period of time also make it even more difficult for everyone to see the trend of the game, and the next thing is to see the substitution of the managers of both sides, which will have a directional impact on the game.

Simeone was even more desperate to take the lead again after being scored at home, replacing Gaitan with Thomas in the 65th minute.

As a result, Atletico Madrid's on-field position has undergone a major adjustment.

The midfield duo returned to the main partnership of Gabi and Thomas, with Saul leaning wide to take over Gaitan's place. Cork is still the offensive brain on the field.

Seeing Simeone's adjustment, He Wei really admired that he could still calm down, and at this time he was not as good as Wen Zhihao.

"Could it be that Simeone still wants to let Wen Zhihao play at the last moment to win? I'm afraid it's not realistic. It's not that I don't believe in Wen Zhihao's ability, but for a team with a deep foundation like Real Madrid, it is difficult for the defensive line to expose holes in the final stage. ”

Just when He Wei expressed such doubts, Zidane followed up to make a substitution, and Bale was about to play.

Thomas's introduction made it more difficult for Real Madrid to attack in the middle, and Zidane could only strengthen his tearing ability on the wing.

Off the field, Boggs urged Simeone again: "Diego, are you thinking about heating?" It's all on the other side. ”

Simeone nodded and told Wen Zhihao to warm up.

However, Simeone deliberately explained that he should warm up slowly and not be in a hurry.

Using this time, Simeone can see how dangerous Zidane's ultimate adjustment can be.

He has a lot of confidence, and in a stalemate, he believes that patience is a virtue.

Late strikes are often more preemptive.
