-------------------------------------
This match against Atletico Madrid was not an easy one at all.
Real Madrid's midfielders do have enough ability to control the attacking organization, but at the same time, what they lack is the disjointment of the midfield, which is something that an attacking striker like Kaka or James James can't bring.
Their midfield defence was in tatters, and the pressure was all on their back, leaving an already precarious backline to endure even more catastrophes.
Atletico opened the scoring with a header in the first half of the game, and less than 10 minutes into the second half, Antoine Griezmann fired a close-range shot from a corner to blast away the Navas goal.
"Atletico Madrid leads Real Madrid 2-0!"
"Atletico Madrid's new signing Antoine Griezmann extended the advantage of the score with a blast in front of the penalty area! Real Madrid fell into a very passive backward situation! ”
Zinedine Zidane made a substitution, replacing the newly acquired German midfielder with James James, while also making tactical changes.
Kroos was used to German football and Spain was a completely different story, but Kroos quickly adapted himself to the league and the style of play, and his presence made the situation a little less passive.
Real Madrid were awarded a free-kick in front of the game 80 minutes and Cristiano walked to the penalty spot.
"Real Madrid's away form has been a disaster, with a very good chance of a clean sheet in the first leg!"
"Let's take a look at this free-kick! Penalty by Cristiano Ronaldo! ”
Zidane stood on the sidelines, he calmly watched the field, and did not seem to be in a hurry at all about the current results.
Or rather, he had already predicted the final outcome of the game.
Griezmann and the others stood on the wall, and in front of them was Cristiano, who was already standing and ready to stand.
"It's Ronaldo again."
"He's definitely going to play high ball."
"Stand tight, don't leave any gaps."
"Push him out!"
Griezmann heard his teammates shouting loudly as they lined up the wall, nervous and solemn.
He swallowed, he knew how difficult Cristiano's free-kick could be, and he was nervous from the atmosphere.
With the referee's whistle, Cristiano looked at the goal and ran - boom!
The ball was just as the Atletico Madrid players would say, a high arc leaping before their eyes, and Griezmann jumped almost instinctively before watching the ball fly over the heads of all of them.
He could even feel the static sensation of the ball whizzing above his head, giving him goosebumps.
As soon as the ball grazed their heads, Griezmann immediately turned to look at the goal behind him, and immediately saw Courtois almost on his knees, almost falling out of the ball with the force of the ball.
The ball rolls silently into the net.
It was accompanied by a rush on the field
Then there was a burst of cheers.
"Real Madrid pulled a point back! Ronaldo's free kick goes straight to the goal! The commentator exclaimed, "There are less than ten minutes left for Real Madrid!" Will they be able to score another goal in the space of 10 minutes to equalise?! ”
Griezmann looked at the ball that went into the net, and his heart began to beat faster, as if the blood was starting to rush to his limbs, and he couldn't help but tense -
They faced Cristiano Ronaldo and in the last 10 minutes, there was still too much time left for the man, who was always so good at equalising and overtaking the game, and they had to play with a 12-point mentality.
"Atletico Madrid have clearly tightened their defence! Ronaldo is stared to death! ”
Zidane stood on the sidelines and frowned slightly, just scoring a goal, which made the defensive actions on Atletico Madrid's side begin to open and close, whether it was Cristiano, Benzema, or Bale, they were almost close to the defense.
Especially Cristiano.
He saw the opposite centre-back stretch out his feet without hesitation, while Cristiano took the ball around with a sharp stop, his reaction speed was amazing, and his physical agility was staggering.
This is a gift from heaven. Zidane thought to himself that God had endowed the boy with an unparalleled talent and body, and the boy relied on his own hard work and perseverance to make this gift great.
The thought flashed through his mind, and the next second, he heard a sudden pause whistle on the field.
Zidane immediately looked on the field and saw that Cristiano had fallen to the ground, and he held his thigh and twisted it several times in pain before he could breathe.
Zidane immediately tensed up when he saw this, and he observed Cristiano's demeanor while calling the team doctor to step forward quickly.
Kaka quickly ran to Cristiano's side, he bent down and put his knee behind Cristiano, so that Cristiano could lean on his calf to gasp, and he looked nervously at the team doctor: "How is he?" ”
"It's not a big problem." The team doctor replied, giving Cristiano the medicine.
Cristiano stood up with the strength of his lover's wrist, and he bared his teeth, and the pain of his thigh being grazed by spikes had become a little numb and dull under the effect of the spray.
He looked at the referee and asked Kaka, "What are you talking about?" Didn't you give a card? ”
Kaka only looked over when he heard this, and just saw Cristiano fall
The sight of flying upside down almost made his heart stop for a moment, and he just subconsciously ran over, completely forgetting what was going on on the referee's side.
Zidane shouted at Kaka on the sidelines, he had something to say to Kaka - Kaka is one of the calmest players on the field, maybe the German, Toni Kroos is also very emotionally stable, but Kaka is the more vocal one in the team, he called Kaka and asked Kaka to wait for him to pass on the instructions.
Kaka had no choice but to let go of Cristiano and strode to the sidelines.
Ramos, Kroos and Pepe all demanded an explanation from the referee, while the player who kicked Cristiano defended himself loudly.
Cristiano walked over, he angrily plunged into the crowd, and with experience put his two hands behind his back, so as not to dance his arms when he was emotional, and add an extra card to himself, who knows what the referee will think? Then, he pouted excitedly
Muttered to participate in the quarrel -
"It's obvious! Everybody knows! ”
"Didn't you see that?!"
The referee ignored him, and the player who had just kicked him heard Cristiano's words and angrily reached out and shoved him: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”
Cristiano was pushed two steps back, and immediately wanted to move forward, but Ramos quickly pulled him behind him, while the Atletico player opposite him rushed forward and raised his hand again.
"You dare to touch him again!" Real Madrid's new captain was like an enraged lion, and Ramos pointed to the tip of the man's nose, his eyes full of inadmissible coldness, and he issued a low warning.
The referee quickly inserted between several people, and the teammates on both sides also quickly separated the few people who had suddenly escalated the smell of gunpowder on this side in time.
Griezmann pulled his team-mate away and glanced at Cristiano.
I saw the captain of Real Madrid turn his head to Cristiano, put his two hands on the sides of the Portuguese, and looked down at the injury at the base of the opponent's thigh as if he was nervous about a large investment of 100 million.
Kaka quickly received the manager's new instructions and ran back to the pitch, and after a brief conversation with his teammates, he returned to Cristiano's side.
"That guy ......" Kaka frowned.
"I was stopped back by Sese, and seriously, if he dares to do it again, I will call him good-looking." Cristiano furrowed his brow viciously.
"How do you make him look good? Do you scare him to death with your cat-like expression? Ramos said.
Cristiano: "...... Sergio, you'd better shut up. ”
Kaka held back a laugh and nudged Cristiano, urging the lovers not to fight their occasional sick captain.
"On the Real Madrid side, Kaka returned to the team with the coach's instructions and conveyed to the captain and the top players in the team, you can see Ronaldo and Ramos with serious expressions, exchanging and discussing something, hoping that this can play a key role in the little game time left!" The narrator looks at the picture and speaks.
The game continued, with the foul player on Atletico's side receiving a yellow card, while Cristiano and Ramos received verbal warnings from the referee.
However, there was still too little time left for Real Madrid, and with the blow of the whistle, the score of the game was finally fixed at 2-1, and Real Madrid were unable to equalize the score as they wished.
Cristiano returned to the dressing room after a brief farewell and the 2-1 first-leg away result, especially against Atletico Madrid, was enough to frustrate the players.
Zinedine Zidane also came to the dressing room, but he didn't say much, having played for Real Madrid and knew what the defeat of the rivals derby meant and what serious situation they faced next.
Either way, the results were much better than he expected, he thought they would keep a clean sheet, and now, at least they have one more goal.
He comforted his soldiers with a brief speech in the locker room, and even gave all the players half a day off to do some recovery training the next day.
The intensity of La Liga is there for all to see, and he knows his main players need to rest.
When he had made the announcement, he left.
And not long after Zidane's departure, Real Madrid's dressing room welcomed an uninvited guest.
- Griezmann strode towards them.
The Frenchman in the red, white and blue sheets shirt probably didn't realize what he was doing, he just wanted to find Cristiano to change the shirt, to be honest, he had this idea for a long time, but he never found the right opportunity, either his teammates were preempted, or he lost so badly that he didn't even think about getting a jersey for himself.
But today was a good opportunity, he scored his maiden goal, he had a decent performance today and he was very eager to exchange shirts with Cristiano......
Then the next second – he didn't even have time to walk into the dressing room, just outside the door – he was thrown out by the angry Real Madrid player.
"You're here to provoke?"
"Or are you here to show off?"
"You're not welcome here!"
Griezmann felt like a little chick, he had been thrown out before he could come to his senses, and he didn't even see where Cristiano was!
His Atletico team kindly picked him up and shook his head and lamented how young and brave their new players were: "You actually went to their dressing room when we won?" Wow, you were born to be at Atletico Madrid! Well done! Look at the arrogant guys! ”
Griezmann choked slightly, perhaps, this was not his original intention? He just wants to find Cristiano to change his jersey!!
