Chapter 164: The Madrid Derby (1)

On September 28, 2013, at 10 p.m. local time in Spain, the first Madrid derby of the season in La Liga arrived, and it was also the first Madrid derby since Ringer arrived at Atletico Madrid.

When the Atletico squad came out of the tunnel, they were greeted with huge boos at the Bernabeu.

The huge boos from more than 80,000 people are indeed a little scary.

There are also various banners in the stands.

"You will never win at the Bernabeu!"

"Madrid is only white!"

Ringer was visiting the Bernabeu for the first time and was looking up at the stands.

"Don't be afraid of them, they'll just scream up there, nothing to be afraid of." Captain Gabby walked over and put his arm around Ringer's shoulders and said.

It seems that Gabi thought that Ringer was playing at the Bernabeu for the first time and was starting to get nervous.

The starters arranged by Atletico Madrid are still the usual 442,

Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois;

Defenders: Juanfrán, Miranda, Godin, Felipe;

Midfielders: Thiago, Gabi, Koke, Turan;

Forwards: Ringer, Costa.

The formation arranged by Real Madrid is 4231,

Goalkeepers: Diego López;

Defenders: Arbeloa, Ramos, Pepe, Coentrão;

Defenders: Khedira, Iliamendi;

Avant-garde: Cristiano Ronaldo, Isco, Di Maria;

Forward: Benzema.

This is the Bernabeu, Atletico Madrid have not been able to win against Real Madrid in 90 minutes for 24 years, Real Madrid completely dominated the psychological advantage, and from the beginning of the game, Real Madrid pressed aggressively.

In the third minute, Di Maria broke down the left flank and scored Real Madrid's first shot, and then Isco and Cristiano Ronaldo both seized the opportunity to kick each one.

'Real Madrid started with a hard attack, with three shots on goal in 10 minutes, and although they didn't threaten, they showed their determination to win at home.

"Intercept~~ Defense!!" Simeone began to roar from the sidelines.

Atletico Madrid's only win over Real Madrid in the last 24 years was completed by Simeone last season, beating Real Madrid 2-1 in extra time in the Copa del Rey final to win the title.

So Simeone desperately needs a team to win, and he needs a game to beat Real Madrid to motivate the team.

With Real Madrid pressing on the attack, Ringer retreated back to help the defence.

In the 12th minute, Di Maria pressed the ball to the front again, and seeing that no one had passed for the time being, Ringer rushed up and tackled the ball himself.

"Well done~~ That's how it should be!" Fat Boggs also stood on the sidelines and yelled.

Ringer's purpose was just to stop the opponent's attack, but he didn't expect it to turn into a beautiful tackle without a foul.

"No foul~~ Lin's tackle is clean!!"

After tackling the ball, Ringer immediately got up and raised his foot to pass to Koke in midfield.

Cork didn't hesitate to take the ball, and immediately kicked a long through ball.

"Koke through ball ~~ Real Madrid~~ dangerous!!"

Real Madrid pressed very high during this period, and Koke's pass easily penetrated the Real Madrid defence, creating an anti-offside opportunity for Costa.

"Costa's counter-run~~ one-shot ball!!"

Costa stabbed into the box, lured goalkeeper Lopes out, and then fired a shot into the far corner, but Lopes couldn't save at all, and could only look back and watch the ball roll into his own goal.

“Goooool~~~”

"Costa~~ single-handed!!"

"Just 12 minutes into the game, Real Madrid were breached!!"

"Oh~~!" Simeone and Boggs on the sidelines clenched their fists and cheered almost at the same time.

"The Sheets Legion counterattacked too quickly this time, and the efficiency was quite high."

"First of all, Lin shoveled Di Maria's ball in the backfield, and immediately passed it to the feet of midfielder Koke, Koke received the ball and plugged it straight, Costa successfully countered offside, forming a single goal."

"It's a standard counter-attacking goal, a standard quick counter-attack, just two people to move the ball from the back to the feet of the striker!"

Amid a wave of boos at the Bernabeu, Costa finally ended his unbridled celebrations.

Atletico didn't expect the goal to come so quickly and so smoothly. In the same way, everyone at Real Madrid didn't expect the goal to come so quickly and so unexpectedly. Carlo Ancelotti, who has been quiet on the sidelines for the most part, has already started to walk on the sidelines.

The game restarted, and Real Madrid soon pressed again, vowing to equalize.

In the 20th minute, Benzema made a return ball after a fierce confrontation with Gabi in the front, and Ronaldo's long-range shot was ridiculously high.

"Ronaldo~~ This is when the team needs him to step up, but he can't seem to find his form."

In the 23rd minute, Di Maria's cross, Benzema's header from 8 meters in front of the goal was quite right, but the victory was close, Courtois hastily blocked the ball back into the box, and Juanfran cleared the ball before Khedira.

"Benzema, who has no rivals since Higuain left this season, has started every game this season, this one is the ninth game in a row, but he has not scored any goals for Real Madrid."

Real Madrid continued to strengthen the attacking rhythm, but the front court made a series of mistakes, and it was difficult to threaten Atletico Madrid's goal.

Neither Benzema nor Isco have been doing very well, and with both of them stirring up, Real Madrid's attack looks like it is huge and does not actually threaten the Atletico goal.

Ringer had to mourn for Benzema, Real Madrid officially entered the era of 200 million Qi Fei, that Benzema, the lowest value guy in the BBC group, his era of back is coming, because others are worth hundreds of millions of people, and they must not be able to carry this pot if they lose the game, so they have to throw it on the back of the stupid horse.

Hush~~~

In the 36th minute, Godin and Gabi at the back teamed up to break the ball and passed it to the feet of midfielder Ringer, and the Bernabeu rang out with a huge boo. Because Ringer has formed a frontcourt with Costa after throwing off Khedira, Real Madrid is dangerous again.

Ringer dribbled the ball to face Iliamendi, his legs accelerated with his feet, the opponent followed, Ringer suddenly slowed down again, stopped the ball on his right toe and pulled the ball back, which completely shook off the opponent, and the whole audience booed a little louder.

Ringer didn't choose to continue on his own, because Ramos was not far away and was ready to come over at any time to make up for it, and after shaking off Iliamendi, Ringer passed the ball to Costa before Ramos could make up for it.

Costa is followed by Pepe, but Ringer believes that the bad boy can deal with the monk.

"Lin~~ shake off Ilyamendi~~ pass!"

"Costa~~ Real Madrid is in danger!!"

Sure enough, between Costa and Pepe's scramble, he threw off the warrior monk with an elbow and rushed up to get the ball.

"Single knife ball~~ Atletico Madrid's second single chance in this game!!"

Unfortunately, Costa couldn't score again this time, he chose to wear the crotch of the opponent's goalkeeper, but unfortunately the opponent reacted quickly and pressed down to block the ball.

"Diego~~ Diego López, this time he made a meritorious service!"

'He's been starting for Casillas lately and he's proven himself!

"Bastard~~ This doesn't go in!!" Simeone on the sidelines was also scolding.

Just after Costa's one-on-one shot, Ramos has let go of Ringer to chase back, and at this time, Costa only needs to come back with another cross, and Ringer is easy to hit the empty goal.

It's a pity that Costa didn't have this awareness, he was full of thoughts about pouring the ball into the opponent's goal, and in the end he couldn't get it in.

In this way, Costa wasted this golden opportunity before the end of the first half, and the score remained 1-0, and Atletico Madrid temporarily led 1-0 away.
