A small handful of hair slips slowly down from Simone's smooth hairstyle.

This competition has just begun, and the hair that is styled with hairspray is already messed up.

What's going on?

Simeone couldn't believe that his team had been breached in just 13 seconds of the opening period.

It was still the same Rossi who scored.

When it comes to the fastest goal in the Madrid derby, Simeone has a shadow.

As early as the 03-04 season, Simeone, who was still a Atletico Madrid player, witnessed the "alien" Ronaldo at the Bernabeu and scored his own goal in the 14th second of the opening game.

It wasn't enough to be abused as a player, it was abused again as a manager.

This time, it's a full second faster than the last time.

Simeone, who was relieved, didn't have time to straighten the hair that was blocking between his eyebrows, and hurriedly gestured and arranged tactics.

He was careless!

He's too confident in his defensive system!

Real Madrid's attacking idea in this opening game was very clear, and it was definitely not a temporary idea.

Hell, I know how many times they practiced behind their backs.

Soon, the ball came to Atletico, but it was the right to kick off.

After Costa's kick-off, Simeone waved his small hand and signaled the players to press the attack, and then cut his hairstyle that was a little messy.

Falling behind at the beginning was unexpected for the Atletico Madrid players, and after a few passes in the backfield, it was found that the Real Madrid players were not very high in pressure and began to press forward to attack.

Zinedine Zidane immediately let the formation back and Benzema dropped back to participate in the defence, putting Rossi up front.

The two teams simply changed their style of play.

It was Atletico Madrid who took the initiative to attack, and it was Real Madrid who retreated to defend.

This wave of operations is directly overturned.

You must know that Atletico Madrid does not have a strong enough advantage in the positional attack.

The only point that can be exploited, is Diego Costa.

In the 5th minute, Costa was near the top of the penalty area, received a pass from his teammates, leaned on Ramos, and stopped the ball.

Ramuston was on fire and immediately stepped up his grabs.

Not to be outdone, Costa lowered his center of gravity and continued to fight against Ramos' uplift.

In this way, the two fell to the ground in the pushing and confrontation.

And that's not all.

Costa first innocently raised his hand to signal to the referee that Ramos had committed a foul and asked for a set-piece.

But the referee was blowing for an offensive foul.

Not satisfied with the result, Costa shook his hand angrily and pushed Ramos down on his leg.

This move also angered the Real Madrid captain, and the two sides suddenly stood up, with their heads on their heads, and their swords were tense.

Although they are all teammates of the national team, on this field, there are only enemies.

The referee quickly separated the two and warned them that it would be so easy to say that there would be no more unprovoked conflict.

Amid the hailing of boos, José González was the first time to quell the conflict and avoid an escalation.

In this derby, a big fight was made at the slightest disagreement, which put a lot of pressure on the referee.

After the resumption of play, Real Madrid kicked off.

When Atletico defended, they did not press high, but only started to press after the opponent scored the half.

Despite falling behind, Simeone didn't want to be too proactive in the opening game, so that it was very easy for Real Madrid to counterattack.

Real Madrid is not in a hurry, once the attack is not possible, or the opponent is too fierce, immediately pass the ball back to the half court and control the ball.

Among the few opportunities, because Atletico Madrid's shrinking defense line was too small, Bale had no space to sprint, and Rossi was heavily defended and the attack was aborted.

More often than not, Real Madrid are in an attacking probing, while Atletico are cautious.

In such a game, the players on the field are highly nervous, and perhaps every time they make a mistake, they will be scored by the opponent.

But in the eyes of the audience, it is boring and lethargic.

The boos began to ring out in the inconspicuous corners of the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium and spread quickly.

It's not just for the Real Madrid players, it's for Simeone.

Simeone, who is under increasing pressure, can only command desperately off the field to paralyze himself and let fans see a self who is working hard to command.

Only he knows that it will be so easy to score from Real Madrid.

Nacho played as a full-back, strengthening the defense rather than attacking, making it difficult for Atletico to attack.

In the 15th minute, Simeone started to make a move, allowing the two wing-backs to press forward and link up with Costa and Felix up front.

Atletico Madrid's midfield is a midfielder who tends to be a jack-of-all-trades.

Koke, Bitolo and Saul, all of whom can advance with the ball, can do everything.

And a wide range of runs and transpositions can tear through Real Madrid's tight defense.

In the 16th minute, Koke combined with his team-mates in the right rib area to put pressure on Real Madrid's left flank.

When Real Madrid's defensive centre of gravity shifts, it is up to Koke to move the ball to the other side, or he can carry the ball forward himself.

This time, Koke saw Costa reaching for the ball at the front end, and directly picked up the high ball and passed it in front of him.

Costa leaned on Ramos again, stopped the ball and forced a turn to shoot with his feet.

But the shot on goal did not break through the Ramos line and was blocked.

But the second penalty was snatched by Atletico Madrid's future star Felix.

In the face of Valverde's defence, he first made a break feint to the right, and then drove the ball forward, attacking the Real Madrid penalty area from the front.

Valverde is also not a vegetarian, and hurriedly turned around to chase back, did not get stuck in position, nor did he choose a defensive line, but was bent on recklessly fighting the opponent to the end.

The only result of such impulsiveness was that he was kicked back by Felix's subsequent inward cut to get rid of the defence.

Fortunately, Bale returned in time, and under his interference, Felix failed to take the next step and had no choice but to pass the ball back.

It's a good seedling, but it's too young.

Zidane looked at Valverde and sighed softly.

If it weren't for the young players who could be developed, Zidane wouldn't have put him in the starting line-up.

And in this game, Atletico Madrid's midfield is very hard, and Hames is too soft to be suitable.

On the contrary, Valverde, who is good at fighting tough battles, is more suitable.

With the mentality of training a young player, it is best if you can play.

It's really not good, and you should accumulate experience.

Just as Zidane was distracted, there was a low cheer in the stadium.

I saw Atletico Madrid's return pass just now, under the pressure of the three Real Madrid BBL people, Jimenez hurriedly got up and moved to the side.

But Rossi was on the far side, accelerating towards the line where the ball was diverted.

This run completely shook Atletico Madrid's defense.

The pass was high and Trippier had to wait for the ball, giving Rossi time to step up.

The two jumped at the same time to fight for the top.

Rossi, who already has an advantage in height, not only took the ball away, but also brought down the opponent by the way.

After landing on the ground, Rossi felt a crushing pride from the depths of his heart.

But before he had time to cool down, the ball was kicked out of the sideline by goalkeeper O'Brick, who fell to the ground and made a flying tackle.

Although the threat of attack was defused, Zidane suddenly had an inexplicable impulse.

The addition of Rossi not only strengthens the firepower in attack, but also enhances the aggressiveness of the team's frontcourt pressing.

The defense just now is the pressure that Rossi gave the opponent in the front court and the opportunity he obtained.

Now the pass-and-control style of play is not new, and front-court pressing is king.

Rossi is the one who adds fire to the team's pressure in the front court.

Zidane's excitement is indescribable.

His eyes had already flown out of the stadium to the Spanish national derby three months later.

This is Real Madrid's real battlefield in La Liga.
