Chapter 505: With his hands on his waist, he is as steady as an old dog

At the start of extra time, Atletico continued to retract their formation and defend solidly.

When there is a counter-attacking opportunity, the ball is quickly passed through the midfield and passed to Felix and Morata up front, allowing them to complete the attack.

There is a complete disconnect between the strikers and the midfielders, and this kind of disconnect attack is very similar to the Italian attacking system.

The offense was handed over to the front two, plus Max Llorente at most.

The rest of the midfielders defend in the back, and once the opponent counterattacks, they can organize interceptions as soon as possible.

After all, the game has been played for 90 minutes, and the physical fitness of Atletico Madrid players has been unable to maintain a system of attacking and defending.

Simeone, who has always attached great importance to defense, will never take risks easily.

What's more, the score is a draw at the moment.

In the 102nd minute, Atletico Madrid took a corner kick, and after Morata stopped the ball on his chest in the penalty area, he shot with a barb and was blocked by Courtois's outstretched leg.

Another corner, still punched out of the box by Courtois.

In this game, Real Madrid's backline played very stable, and Courtois's performance was eye-catching.

Since joining Real Madrid, Courtois's performance has actually been good, but the attacking heart of Real Madrid's defensive team has made his goal conceded rate lower than Barcelona's Ter Schgent and Atletico Madrid's Oblak.

In the number of clean sheets, it is not as good as two.

In this game, the left-back position was replaced by a young Mendy, and Ramos rarely turned into a striker, attacking forward, making Real Madrid's defense solid.

After Real Madrid cleared the ball, the ball came to the feet of Modric.

The Croatian maestro dribbled across the half-court and tucked the ball straight into Rossi, who was in front of the Atletico players.

Defender Thomas Partey moved laterally to intercept Modric's pass.

But before passing the ball, Mo Ma had already observed Partey's intention to intercept, and when passing the ball, she chose an outward passing line to avoid interception.

Rossi's timing was still perfect, but the outward through ball also caused him to miss a one-on-one chance to face the goalkeeper directly.

Full-back Lodi, who has already taken inside the box, clings to Rossi, preventing him from having the opportunity to cut inside and cross.

Rossi knows what he is facing without having to observe, and if he is being watched by full-backs, then Atletico's two centre-backs must be in the box.

At this time, whether it is an inside cut or a cross, it will be destroyed by the opponent.

When approaching the baseline, Rossi pulled the ball back, saw Modric in front of him, and passed it quickly.

Luka Modric followed up with a direct shot, but the angle was too small and was blocked by Oblak, who was standing in place.

But that's not all!

The second penalty bounced to the right side of the six-yard box and was won by Rossi.

Atletico's backline was in turmoil.

"Defend, defend!"

Simone pointed at Rossi and hissed and roared, even the audience in the front row could hear it clearly.

For most of the game, Atletico managed to freeze Rossi and prevent him from getting the ball easily.

But this guy's second attack is also threatening.

The bouncing of the ball prevented Rossi from having a first shot, and when he stopped the ball, Jimenez had already posted it.

Rossi feigned a shot, flicked the ball in, shook off an angle and followed up with his right foot.

Another centre-back, Felipe, made a quick break and successfully interfered with Rossi's shot, but the ball was blocked by the goalkeeper's palms.

Two consecutive goal-front dangers made Atletico Madrid's players all the woods.

The ball was still in the small penalty area, Felipe did not dare to stop the ball in the danger area, nor did he dare to observe whether there were offensive players around him, so he directly kicked the ball forward.

The devil knows where that Real Madrid No. 7 will come out of nowhere, so let's solve the siege first.

It wasn't until the ball rolled off the sideline that they breathed a sigh of relief.

Simeone did not let his guard down on the field, and Rossi's two attacks with the ball made him feel like a man.

He yelled angrily at his players, scolding Thomas Partey for his reckless interception, allowing Rossi to burst into the box with the ball.

Blame Jimenez for why he didn't protect the second penalty and give Rossi a chance to shoot.

Immediately after the attack, Simeone made a substitution, removing Jimenez and replacing him with Savic.

Jimenez's high concentration, in the 90 minutes of the game, did a good job of limiting Rossi's attack.

But as his fitness declined and his concentration on the game began to decline as he went into extra time, Simeone had to replace him.

After all, if Rossi is given a small chance, he could have scored.

In fact, in the high-intensity confrontation, Rossi's physical fitness also began to decline.

The shot just now, if it had been changed to before, there might have been a better option.

As a single arrow in this game, his offensive pressure was too great.

Zidane also saw Rossi's lack of strength in attack, and he immediately called Mariano to his side.

The first half of extra time ended quickly, and the coaching staff and medical personnel of both sides quickly entered the field to seize the time to replenish the players.

Rosie was lying on the turf, her right leg lifted up for a relaxing massage.

It was Pintus who gave him a massage.

"Luo, in the last fifteen minutes, don't waste your energy on running, your teammates can't run anymore."

Real Madrid's pass-and-run coordination is based on the non-stop running and movement of multiple people to achieve the purpose of tearing apart the defense.

But the game entered the final fifteen minutes of extra time, and everyone was no longer running.

Even if he runs out of the perfect position, his teammates' balls may not be able to reach.

"Put your fitness on the second penalty."

Rosie nodded and continued to drink water.

At this time, assistant coach Betoni came over and conveyed the manager's tactics.

Soon, the second half of extra time began.

Mariano replaces Kroos as a lone arrow and attacks in tandem.

Simeone was ready for a penalty shoot-out, with Atletico dropping back all over the line and setting up a 5-5-0 campaign.

Even if you get the ball, you send it to the front court with a big foot and let the striker solve the problem.

In the 118th minute, goalkeeper Oblak's gesture was seriously deformed when he fell to the ground to save the ball, and he was able to block Mariano's shot.

The ball was saved, but it bounced into the six-way box.

The threat of these two penalties was greater than Mariano's shot.

Rossi immediately stepped up for the grab, but was stuck in position by the newly introduced Savage, knocking him to the ground.

When the referee signalled that there would be no penalty, the whole Atletico team cheered for the successful defence.

The pressure that Rossi brought to the defense line was just too great.

Under Atletico's tenacious defense, the two sides drew 0-0 in 120 minutes and went to a penalty shootout.

Zidane gathered all the players over, arranged the penalty sequence, and said with a smile: "The game has been played here, you have worked hard, the next penalty, take it easy." ”

“Hala Madrid!”

The two sides officially entered the penalty shoot-out, with Atletico winning the penalty first.

Atletico players stood in a row, putting their shoulders on each other, showing their team spirit and keeping their eyes straight ahead.

Atletico's first penalty was Saul, whose penalty was taken to the left and from a lack of angle that Courtois saved.

Atletico Madrid 0:0 Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's first penalty was Carvajal, and his teammates behind him all stood with their hips crossed.

There was no seriousness before the penalty shoot-out, not even a shoulder to shoulder as a sign of solidarity.

The expressions of the Real Madrid players tell the opponent that there is nothing to be nervous about, it is all a small scene.

Carvajal, who had a psychological advantage, easily scored a penalty.

Atletico Madrid 0:1 Real Madrid.

Atletico's second penalty taker was Thomas Partey.

Under intense pressure, he kicked the penalty into the stands.

Real Madrid's second penalty taker was captain Sergio Ramos.

He tricked Oblak with a feint and smashed the ball into the right side of the goal.

Atletico Madrid 0:2 Real Madrid.

The first two penalty takers failed to score, putting unprecedented pressure on Alvaro Morata in third.

As a result, Morata pursued too much angle and the ball went wide of the post.

Simeone couldn't describe his mood in words, his eyes were glazed and he stared blankly ahead.

The result of this game was exactly what he expected.

But he never imagined that the top three penalty takers arranged did not score a single goal.

Next, Real Madrid only need one more goal to claim the title.

And the third to appear is Rossi.

Finished!

Simeone closed his eyes and looked up, no longer daring to look straight ahead.

The heads of the Atletico players drooped like a defeated rooster.

With the huge cheers from the fans at the scene, Rossi, who scored the penalty, stood still and raised his hands to celebrate his first title since joining Real Madrid.

His teammates rushed towards him and surrounded him.

Zidane was also ecstatic, he always believed in it.

Rossi = Champion.

He brought Real Madrid the Spanish Super Cup title and there are many more accolades to come.

Soon, the award stage was set up, and captain Ramos, with the support of the Real Madrid team, lifted the Spanish Super Cup.

This is also Real Madrid's first trophy after Ronaldo's departure.

Real Madrid also used this trophy to announce to the world that Real Madrid has entered the Rossi era.
