Chapter 429: Killing Atletico again, the final battle is coming
"Well, maybe from the fans' point of view, these two Champions League semi-finals are a bit boring, but I would say that in the face of winning and ultimately winning, everything needs to be conceded first, you know what I mean?
Now we have won and we are on the stage of the Champions League final, so we made the right tactical choice, it's as simple as that. ”
In a post-match interview with reporters, Leon stood up for his coaching staff's tactical decisions.
He is indeed right, what is the ugly scene in the face of the final victory?
If Real Madrid play very well and lose the game, then the public opinion environment that Real Madrid players are facing now will be hell!
You must win first before you have the right to speak, and for more obscure reasons, it is inconvenient for Li Ang to say it in person.
He stopped at the point and ignored the reporters' questions after that.
An Pang used similar rhetoric to respond to the reporters' provocative questions.
And when reporters wanted to dig up more inside information, he prevaricated on the grounds that the coaching staff was going to start preparing for the Copa del Rey and Champions League finals.
In the previous two rounds of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid drew Celta Vigo and Alaves successively.
As a result, Real Madrid's path to qualification is also very smooth, at least compared to Atletico Madrid, another team that eventually qualified for the final of the Copa del Rey.
Atletico Madrid fought Eibar and Barcelona successively, and in the two-legged battle with Barcelona, Atletico Madrid also won a very thrilling victory, and finally defeated Barcelona by a stunner.
And in the final of the Copa del Rey, they faced Real Madrid, who had not won a game this season, and their expectations of winning were also very low among the fans.
But this season, Atletico Madrid only has the thought of winning the Copa del Rey, and the fighting power of the trapped beast in a desperate situation is still quite strong.
So even if Real Madrid only beat Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid's generals will not have the idea of despising Atletico.
On the evening of May 15, the 37th round of La Liga started, and Real Madrid's main players did not start the game as most Western media expected before the game.
Carlo Ancelotti took the "Real Madrid second team" to the Bernabeu at home to meet the challenge from Sevilla.
However, because it has locked the fourth place in La Liga two rounds in advance, the current Sevilla is completely desireless, and Sampaoli, who led the team, also came to the Bernabeu with a rotating lineup.
The fans of the two teams were disappointed at first, after all, they didn't have a chance to see the top stars of both teams perform today.
As a result, they didn't expect that the rotation players of the two teams who had let go of the shackles would be equally exciting to attack!
At the end of the first half, the two teams had already teamed up to contribute four beautiful goals, and in the second half, the two teams spelled each other together and scored three goals together!
In the end, Real Madrid was scored three goals by Sevilla at the Bernabeu, only to win 4-3, almost breaking the record of all wins at the Bernabeu this season.
But even with such a thrilling win, the Real Madrid fans in Bonabeu gave the players a round of applause at the end of the game!
After all, the game is beautiful enough, and the offensive football is also very exciting.
If you play well and you can win in the end, that's fine.
The current Meilinger is really not too picky compared to before, and may have been CPU by their own main players in the near future.
After all, they watched such an ugly game in the two legs of Atletico Madrid, and this 4-3 offensive victory was no less than a delicious visual feast for them~
It's a pity that I finally ate a good meal, and in the final game of La Liga on May 22, the Meilinger ushered in the "torture" of their main players again.
On the evening of May 22, Real Madrid played away to Málaga, which was also a warm-up match before Real Madrid's Copa del Rey final with Atletico Madrid.
This time, the main players in the Real Madrid team naturally did not continue to rest, but all started.
But the Malaga's players, who thought that Real Madrid would rehearse their attack, finally ushered in a white army with a tight defensive posture......
The game scene can be described as quite dull, Malaga did not dare to let go of the attack, and Real Madrid fought to the counter.
Looking at it, the rhythm of the game was exactly the same as when Real Madrid played Atletico Madrid in the previous two legs, and the countless Real Madrid fans sitting in front of the TV didn't know how bad it was.
After the entire first half, Real Madrid didn't score a goal anyway, and there was a 0-0 draw with Malaga.
After the start of the second half, Real Madrid's skills and tactics did not change in the slightest, and it was only in the last fifteen minutes of the game that Ancelotti made the first substitution adjustment of the game.
Isco came off the bench and joined Luka Modric in possession of the ball, freeing up Leon from the midfield playmaking and putting more energy into attacking forwards.
Cristiano Ronaldo has once again changed his style of play, from an all-round winger who is once again closer to the middle of the penalty area, almost becoming another center forward in the Real Madrid team.
Benzema, however, went more to the wings to pull the ball and help Ronaldo and Leon open up the attacking space in the middle.
In the face of Real Madrid's peculiar attacking style, Malaga immediately didn't know how to deal with it, and the defense line was quickly torn apart.
Li Ang and Ronaldo seized the opportunity one after another in just 15 minutes of game time, successively attacked the Malaga penalty area, grabbed the point and scored, and finally helped Real Madrid take away the game in a wave!
The 2-0 score was not too big, and the overall scene of this game was not smooth at all, Real Madrid even played back and forth with Malaga for most of the game, and it looked like a five-five game!
It is also difficult for the Millingers to evaluate whether the latest offensive tactics developed by the coaching staff are good or bad.
However, there is one thing they have to admit, and that is that the overall feeling of the team is very stable, and the victory came smoothly, and there were no twists and turns.
If Real Madrid finally plays the Copa del Rey final and the Champions League final with such a tactical attitude, then Real Madrid's supporters will definitely have great confidence in their hearts.
With such anticipation, the Meilingers waited patiently until May 28th.
That night, at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, the Copa del Rey final officially began!
This important final before the Champions League showdown has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the vast majority of fans around the world.
Today's Madrid derby is still very golden, even if Atletico Madrid no longer looks like it is on the same competitive level as Real Madrid, but today's Atletico Madrid buff can be said to be stacked.
With home advantage and revenge, Atletico's starters are destined to burst out with all their energy for their final game of the season.
Real Madrid have absolutely convincing reasons to play the defensive counter-attacks they are good at in this game.
After all, the opponent has the advantage of being at home, and it is almost 100% to grab the start at the beginning.
Combined with the fact that Real Madrid practiced defensive tactics in the final game of the league, there is really no reason to temporarily change the formation to attack.
As a result, the Real Madrid coaching staff really did a great job in this Copa del Rey final, which made fans all over the world drop their jaws.
At the beginning of the game, Ronaldo and Bale unreservedly attacked the Atletico Madrid side defense, and Atletico Madrid, who played with a radical two-wing flying tactic, had to retreat again and again!
Marcelo and Carvajal basically played the game as wingers, once overwhelmed the middle and long line, pressed to the Atletico half, and did not retreat at all!
The defensive pressure was almost all on Casemiro and Leon, who had to intercept a possible counter-attack from the middle of Atletico and wipe the butts of the two defenders on the wing.
But it has to be said that the two who are defensive Dacheng are now completely capable of doing two things on the defensive end.
Luka Modric and Benzema, who repeatedly dropped back to receive the ball, were enough to support Real Madrid's attacking organization.
Carlo Ancelotti was unmoved by Atletico's counter-attacking threat and seemed to be bent on maximizing the attacking advantages of Real Madrid's two wings!
This tactical arrangement is not stable at all, and it looks completely different from the style of play played by Real Madrid's main players in the past.
Not to mention other neutral fans, the Meilinger are also quite confused at this time, and they don't understand what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd of the Real Madrid coaching staff.
But don't really say it, the aggressive attacking tactics that Real Madrid laid out today are exactly what Real Madrid fans want to see the most.
And the team was able to press Atletico at home, even if it could only maintain such a scene in the opening stage of the game, which really made the Meilinger feel happy.
But they still underestimated their home team's attacking resolve today.
Real Madrid's wing-piercing tactics have not stopped at all, and the season's well-stocked fitness has also come to great use at the end of the season.
Simeone stood on the sidelines with his hands on his waist and shook his head again and again, as if he couldn't believe that Real Madrid could still play such a high-intensity offensive rhythm at the end of the real season!
Previously, he thought that the team he led could be comparable to Real Madrid in endurance competition, but now it seems that it was just wishful thinking on his part, and Real Madrid didn't do their best at all!
Now Simeone can only hope that his two full-backs can withstand the defensive pressure first, and not be allowed to score a goal by Real Madrid in the opening stages of the game.
But as the old saying goes, once this person is unlucky, he is really afraid of something.
Simeone had only been praying to God for two minutes when Real Madrid played a clever pass down the right.
After Bale received a return pass from Carvajal on the edge of the box, a volley from the right edge of the penalty area hit Courtois with caution and did not dare to hold the ball at all!
Ronaldo reacted quickly and sprinted to make up for the shot, but his push this time was not effective, the ball speed was relatively slow, and he was once again forcibly saved by Courtois, who reacted at the god level!
The football flew quickly outside the penalty area, Courtois, who completed a quick two consecutive saves, didn't have time to get up at the moment, and Leon, who was inserted in place the next second, chose to volley non-stop to the ball in the face of the incoming ball!
The soccer ball is speeding forward in the air, and it seems that it has flashed an afterimage!
Courtois didn't have time to get up at all, and the tens of thousands of fans at the scene didn't see the trajectory of the ball clearly, and then they heard the crisp sound coming from the big screen of the live broadcast!
That's the sound of a soccer ball rubbing against a net!
In the thirteenth minute of the first half, Li Ang helped Real Madrid open the scoring and scored a beautiful world wave!
Courtois was numbed by Leon's shot, and his emotions were somewhat numb, and he shook his head at the corners of his mouth and looked into the distance, looking helpless.
Real Madrid will celebrate with Atletico Madrid at half-time!
An Fat off the field was as calm as ever, raised his eyebrows, crossed his waist with one hand, and formed two extreme styles with Zidane, who rushed out of the coach's seat at the moment and raised his arms and shouted.
After a joyful celebration, the Real Madrid players did not continue to wander, but quickly trotted back to their own half in an orderly manner.
Atletico Madrid was also directly stunned by this goal, and Simeone could only calm the players' emotions first and signal them to stay calm.
But soon, with the resumption of the game, Real Madrid pressed again with all their strength and continued to attack, and the Atletico Madrid players who had not yet adjusted their state could only continue to shrink the defensive line with grievances.
This dangerous time is also a time when opportunity comes.
With Atletico Madrid's top defensive counter-attack, if they seize the opportunity at this time, they are not without the possibility of breaking through Real Madrid's defense.
But maybe it's because I've lost to Real Madrid too many times this season, or maybe it's because I've been tortured enough by Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals.
Atletico's starters were always not excited enough in attack today, and they were a little passive defensively, and their form was very average.
Simeone's side was still thinking about the direction of tactical adjustment later, but his disciples on the field didn't even last ten minutes, and they were beaten by Real Madrid in the 22nd minute of the first half!
This time it was Bale who scored the goal, and the assist from Cristiano Ronaldo's cross helped Real Madrid extend their lead.
And at the moment of Bale's goal, the tens of thousands of Atletico Madrid fans in the stands can be said to be in despair.
They finally saw Real Madrid attacking with all their might, but the fact that their own team was difficult to cope with was really difficult for them to accept.
Simeone hadn't given up yet, he raised his arms and shouted from the sidelines, hoping that his disciples would come to their senses.
However, Real Madrid's goal in the 34th minute of the first half of the game completely knocked out the morale of the whole Atletico Madrid team.
The tournament ended early from this moment on.
Real Madrid don't have the habit of opening champagne early at half-time, and of course, Atletico Madrid is not Liverpool, and tonight's Wanda Metropolitano Stadium does not believe in miracles and reversals.
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, many of Atletico's starters lay directly on the turf of their home stadium and burst into tears!
They didn't fulfill their promise to the fans today, the ending was full of regrets, and the score of 1-4 was not convincing at all.
It's really uncomfortable to watch your rivals win the cup at home stadium.
But they have to endure this pain at the moment, and use this pain to alert themselves in order to succeed in revenge next season!
Real Madrid are naturally full of joy and after a hard season of hard work, there is nothing more exciting for them than to stand on the winner's podium.
Sergio Ramos finally lifted the second trophy of the season for Real Madrid!
The league champions, the Copa del Rey champions, and Real Madrid are now in their arms, and only the final finale is left, the Champions League!
When Li Ang won the Copa del Rey alone, he once again made a smile and phone call in front of the live camera.
The fans understood who he was calling.
On June 4th, the Champions League final, the two kings will meet!
The Great War is imminent!
