Chapter 70: The First Half Ends
After Reyes scored the goal, the Atletico Madrid fans exploded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Bernabeu Stadium is the home of Real Madrid, and even in the Madrid derby, there were fewer than 20,000 Atletico Madrid fans in attendance, but now their voices have overshadowed Real Madrid fans and become the only mainstream on the scene.
Atletico Madrid fans are simply excited!
Atletico Madrid's results this season have been very remarkable, and the league has only lost six points so far, which is something that Atletico Madrid fans could not have imagined before, but Atletico Madrid did it, and the victory over Real Madrid in the 10th round of the league made Atletico Madrid fans raise their heads.
This time, the Copa del Rey is a Madrid derby, and Atletico Madrid fans are expecting the team to beat Real Madrid.
Not for promotion! Not for the champions!
It means even more to be able to knock out Real Madrid with your own hands!
Even with this mentality, Atletico Madrid fans became very excited when they saw Reyes put on a brilliant performance and break the Real Madrid goal with the ball alone.
O Reyes!
The name has always been synonymous with Spanish talent, but he hasn't been too good for a few years, and Atletico Madrid fans still want him to do well, and now they all cheer together when they see Reyes' goal.
In order to lead Real Madrid, and also to send blessings to Reyes!
The call of the scene made all the players react, Aguero was one of the representatives, just now he regretted giving the ball to Reyes, and seeing Reyes score the ball, Aguero was completely stunned.
Ball...... Goal!?
It's really in!
Are we so ahead?
Sergio Aguero felt a little underwhelmed, and he had the impression that Reyes had always been a very 'old-fashioned' team-mate, who rarely looked for an opportunity to shoot on his own, and now he scored such a goal.
The cheers in the stands made Aguero happy.
Aguero didn't care about complaining about Reyes just now, and turned around and rushed directly towards Reyes.
"Well done! Antonio! He hugged Reyes tightly.
Like Sergio Aguero, Morris and Isco reacted nearby, and soon the rest of his team-mates rushed over.
Reyes was still immersed in the wonderful goal he had just played, and he was directly overwhelmed by the enthusiastic team-mates, who hugged him and pushed him to the ground.
Everyone cheered and vented their excitement.
――――
"It's the thirty-fifth minute and Atletico Madrid has the lead!"
"Reyes was dribbling the ball on the wing just now, facing Ramos and Arbeloa's defense to cut the ball in the middle, Real Madrid's two big defenders were played by Reyes alone, his performance was simply outstanding!"
"Reyes is 28 years old this year, he doesn't have a solid place in the main team at Atletico Madrid, but he still started this game, and now it proves that he made the right choice."
"Many people may have forgotten Reyes, the 'golden boy' who was on par with Torres in the past, but he proved with his performance that suddenly he was a very big mistake, and Real Madrid paid the price......"
In Fernandos Sanchez-Bob's praise of Reyes, the TV camera pointed to the Atletico Madrid coach's box, only to see Wan Sheng waving his arms high, and then hugging Fan Zhiyi next to him.
Wansheng was very excited.
In the first leg of the Copa del Rey, leading Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium was very beneficial for Atletico Madrid's two-legged situation, but it was only one of the points, and what made him even happier was that the goal belonged to Reyes.
O Reyes!
In the whole team, Reyes is the one who gives Wansheng a headache.
The former famous 'golden boy', the strength must be there, the body and technique are quite good, but he always performs poorly on the field, perhaps because of Arsenal's experience for several years, his style of play has become old-fashioned, and it is always difficult to play too well in the team's new tactical system.
In the league, Reyes has only one assist statistic in seven appearances, and the only goal was scored in the Copa del Rey and Las Palmas game, which is almost meaningless.
Now Reyes finally has a goal, and it is such a wonderful goal.
The whole goal process seems to illustrate Reyes' technical strength, so Wansheng believes that Reyes' performance will gradually improve in the future, as long as Reyes's performance can get better, he doesn't have to worry about the team's side.
――――
Atletico Madrid celebrated the goal happily, and Real Madrid was very unhappy.
The most depressed is Arbeloa.
Arbeloa is not well-known in the first place, he has been playing hard in the hope of consolidating his position, but he didn't expect Reyes, who he underestimated, to score such a goal.
In the face of his own and Ramos's defense, the opponent actually cut inside and shot back!
I'm really ...... Unlucky!
There was a clear element of luck in this goal, even in that position, when no one was defending, making that kind of shot, there was not much chance of scoring the ball, but the ball just crossed a wide arc and flew into the corner around Casillas' defense.
But no matter how you think about it, the score has been rewritten.
Arbeloa is starting to worry.
Reyes's goal just now started with his 'mistake', maybe it was not a mistake, or he was careless and was easily shaken by Reyes, everyone can see it, I believe that the head coach Mr. Mourinho must also know.
Real Madrid is very competitive.
Will his performance just now displease Mr. Mourinho? Will I be replaced directly after a while?
――――
No matter how worried Arbeloa was, the score had become 0-1, with Real Madrid trailing by one goal.
Manager Jose Mourinho's attention is not on Arbeloa.
Arbeloa is just a player, a mistake on the field is actually normal, even if there is a considerable element of carelessness, but it is indeed just a mistake, Reyes can score Arbeloa but it is not all his reason, Ramos is also involved in the defense, and more importantly, Reyes's individual performance is too good, and the shot makes goalkeeper Casillas unable to do anything.
The score is already behind, and there is no point in thinking about it.
As the manager of Real Madrid, Mourinho thinks about the whole, the two-legged encounter, for the two-legged match, a goal is actually nothing, even if the opponent scores at his own home.
If you lose a goal, you lose it, just get it back.
But...... How do you score a goal?
That's where Mourinho feels difficult.
Atletico Madrid's backfield is very tightly blocked, and C-Ronaldo and Di Maria are greatly limited to play.
Although the team does not rely solely on C-Ronaldo and Di Maria to attack, there is no doubt that the two are the core players in the frontcourt, and their poor performance directly affects the offensive efficiency of the entire team.
From a purely tactical point of view, the only thing Mourinho can think of is to split the ball and look for opportunities from the wings.
There's plenty of space on the flanks for Atletico Madrid to defend.
Even if C-Ronaldo and Di Maria's points are blocked, the team's attack can reopen the situation.
Aside from the tactical point of view, Mourinho can think of a lot, such as C-Ronaldo and Di Maria, players are not able to defend completely, maybe they are not used to Atletico Madrid's tough defense for a while, but when they get used to it, relying on individual play may also help the team.
In addition, Atletico Madrid's 'rough' defense is very annoying, and Mourinho gritted his teeth about it.
Although he managed Chelsea and Inter Milan, and even did the same last time he played against Barcelona, the opponent used it on his own, and the situation was completely different.
So when the game resumed, Mourinho went to harass the fourth official and protested a lot.
"The referee should be more stringent!"
"My players are getting tackled!"
"Rude! Barbarous! It's fighting, not football! ”
Mourinho's 'nagging' annoyed the fourth official and rolled his eyes - MD, this is a Madrid derby!
It's normal for the derby to be a little bigger, not only Atletico Madrid, but also your players!
One by one, the players are the same as the weak chickens, the body can't fight the opponent, can you blame the referee for not strictly enforcing the law?
――――
On the pitch, Real Madrid continued to attack.
They didn't lose their courage by conceding the goal, but they attacked more fiercely than they had just started.
This is clearly a sign from Mourinho.
Mourinho's idea is very simple, Atletico Madrid's counterattack is very threatening, but in fact, Real Madrid occupies the initiative in the game, as long as the attack is constantly launched and suppressed, then Atletico Madrid's counterattack ability will naturally not be able to play.
Real Madrid did a good job, they began to look for opportunities from the flanks, and even Cristiano Ronaldo moved closer to the left, which made it difficult for Atletico Madrid to defend in a targeted manner.
Atletico Madrid's attacking threat is also much greater.
Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines.
Now that the game has been played, Wan Sheng has also begun to worry about defense.
Atletico Madrid are not very defensive teams, they are not so tough at the back, and Real Madrid is definitely one of the top attacking teams in Europe, and it is almost impossible to keep the goal completely under Real Madrid's attack.
Wansheng knows this.
He doesn't have the luxury of not conceding a goal in the whole game, but the best thing is not to concede a goal in the first half, and the team can go into the break with the lead, which is very good for the morale and mentality of the whole team.
So Wan Sheng began to direct the game with shouts.
He doesn't demand that his shouting do anything, he just tells the players that he's always watching the game and that they're 100 per cent serious.
And so time passed little by little.
In the final minutes, Atletico Madrid's goal was in constant danger, but goalkeeper David De Gea performed well to keep the team from conceding.
David De Gea was the standout player in the final minutes.
After that, the referee's whistle brought the first half to an end, and Atletico Madrid went into the break with a one-goal lead.
On the Real Madrid side, Mourinho can only sigh regretfully. (To be continued.) )
