273 KC273
KC273 [2-in-1 (including a brace in the seventh round of the roro league celebration)]
-------------------------------------
Cristiano was unaware of what was going on outside the locker room.
After Zidane left, he went to the bathroom to rinse off the grass clippings all over his body, and the sweat and the mud and grass clippings on the grass were mixed together, sticking to his body, making people uncomfortable.
Even more uncomfortable was the defeat on the road, but against Atletico, the newly formed team did lack something, but they regained some of their sense in the closing stages of the second half.
They still have a chance at home, and Cristiano thinks quietly under the sound of the water that this is not a problem that cannot be reversed.
They've had worse situations than this, but they've all overcome them.
///
In the second leg of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid hosted Atletico Madrid, with a proud victory first, coupled with Real Madrid's new coach, in the eyes of the outside world, Atletico Madrid's winning chance is very big.
The same is true in the eyes of Atletico fans.
The entire perimeter of the Bernabeu Stadium was filled with fans of the two teams competing against each other and holding flags high.
There was no doubt that this game would be the toughest game in Zinedine Zidane's new charge so far, and whether Real Madrid will be out of the Copa del Rey early has become a big watch in the whole La Liga competition.
As the head coach, Zidane is naturally under countless pressures.
As the biggest player in the team, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has not been able to break the sky-high transfer fee of the year, is also under great pressure, and countless fans are waiting for him to fall with the giant ship of Real Madrid.
Before the start of the game, Zinedine Zidane came to the dressing room.
His eyes scanned around the locker room, where most of the players were juking around in twos and threes joking around their muscles, or checking and sorting out small equipment such as shin guards and wristbands.
Only Cristiano stayed quietly in front of his closet, and no one bothered him, perhaps because everyone knew what Cristiano was up against, and they almost gave Cristiano a vacuum.
"Don't bother him." As soon as Zidane entered the dressing room, he heard Ramos say this to Coentrão.
He glanced at Ramos and agreed that the young defender already had a bit of a calm shadow of the Real Madrid captain, but it wasn't enough.
He strode towards Cristiano, where the Portuguese was sitting on the bench and putting on his shin guards.
Zidane saw that the Portuguese shin guards were stamped with pictures of children, and he smiled, then looked away.
"Cristiano." He stopped the Portuguese, and he saw the Portuguese look up and obediently, and he looked at those eyes, which seemed to speak, "I will win."
Zidane somewhat understood what Ancenotti had said to him before leaving.
[I may have made some mistakes, but one thing you can believe is-]
[Cristiano.] If there's a tough fight to fight, the most important thing you need to make sure is that he's with you.]
Zida
Ne can understand the ambition and determination in Cristiano's eyes, but he also knows very well how much pressure this is for a player, Cristiano is like a tight string, he doesn't know if the other party is relaxed, but he is more worried that this string will one day break because it is too tight.
He patted Cristiano on the shoulder: "Chris, relax." ”
"I'm fine." Cristiano smiled when he heard this, and bent his eyes, he thought that the other party came over to tell him something tactically related, but he didn't expect this.
Zidane pinched the other party's shoulder, Cristiano took good care of his body, built it well, the beautiful and tight muscles were clearly and full, and under the light of the dressing room, it seemed to be honey-colored and elastic.
Zidane knows that this body is not only beautiful, but also has strength and attacking power.
He didn't just start following Cristiano so closely – even before the '06 World Cup – at Euro '04 – and he noticed the youngster, even though he was still young as a kid at the time, but he helped the team lift the Delaunay Cup.
Dragged Portugal into extra-time for the equalizer, that unbeatable free-kick, and he was there for that game.
Maybe the others noticed the goal, but he was watching Cristiano, he was watching a goalscorer, even though the young Portuguese was in midfield at the moment, but he could already recognize it from the look and posture of the opponent, it was a natural goalscorer.
And after that game, it became a normal thing to follow Cristiano's growth, because the whole football world was paying attention to this young man, and he was like an asteroid that suddenly exploded this football.
He'd seen enough of the boy's miracles, and his team-mate, Luis Figo, was always fond of mentioning the little Portuguese in front of him, so he was familiar enough with the name.
Even before he took charge of Cristiano, deep down in his heart, he may have developed a strong trust in Cristiano.
"That's good." Zidane nodded in response, "Go play your football and you'll be the one who makes a difference." ”
Cristiano blinked, and it was a little surprised that Zidane would say this to him, as he used to tell him - "L, Chris, because you are the one who will change the game." But at that time, they had been working together for a longer time, and he deserved such trust from the other party, and he deserved it.
And today? They had been together for too short, which surprised him.
He laughed and hugged the man vigorously, "Thank you." ”
Zidane was caught off guard by Cristiano, and he stumbled forward slightly—because Cristiano was sitting on the bench, the height of the hug was only up to his waist, and he was almost hugged by Cristiano and fell forward.
He grinned and patted Cristiano.
Today's starting line-up is still Cristiano, Benzema and Bale in front, Kaka, Kroos and Modric in midfield, and Coentrão, Marcelo, Pepe and Ramos in the rear.
In the tunnel, Antoine Griezmann looked at Real Madrid through half of the tunnel wall.
He noticed that Cristiano was leaning in
Kaka said something with a smile (), and pinched the other party's ears as if he couldn't sit down? ()_[((), as if I wasn't nervous at all.
Obviously, this game is Real Madrid's backwards.
Griezmann pursed his lips, he even felt that he was a little more nervous than Cristiano looked at it.
Oh yes, he still didn't get Cristiano's shirt because after that game, Cristiano went back to the bus early, and I heard that their manager asked for it.
If you want him to say that Zidane's off-field policy of protecting superstars is a bit too much.
The game begins.
A column of white clothes broke into the position of the Sheets Army.
Real Madrid's midfield still has problems.
Due to Alonso's transfer to Bayern Munich, Real Madrid's midfield's dependence and demand for Alonso had to shift.
But they need such a role to share the pressure in midfield, for which Real Madrid's forward trident must be involved in the retreat under Zidane's tactics, and frequently take on the midfield.
And this change is not a small change for players who are used to the original style of play.
Cristiano took the lead in the team and carried this into the game.
"Ronaldo has obviously increased the frequency of dropping back to the midfield in this game! This really made Real Madrid's midfield connection and defense a little better than it was in the first leg! ”
The commentator analysed the situation on the pitch and it was clear that in this game, Atletico Madrid's aggressiveness in the previous game was suppressed, and in the first 20 minutes, Atletico Madrid did not have a few effective attacking chances.
On the contrary, it is Real Madrid's side -
"Ronaldo drops back into the midfield and makes a long pass with the outside of his instep!"
"Ronaldo's ultra-long cruising pass is back in the picture! This time it's Bell! ”
The commentator snorted lightly, the game was just half, and Real Madrid quickly got a chance to score!
However, Bale missed the ball in front of goal, causing a burst of resentment and boos from the fans in the stands.
Bell also fell to the ground in frustration.
Seeing this, Cristiano raised his arms and applauded Bell, who met Cristiano's gaze and saw no similar chagrin and frustration, which made him feel a little better.
"Bale missed a great shot in front of goal! What a pity! ”
After Bale's mistake, Atletico Madrid immediately launched a counter-attack.
Cristiano quickly retreated with the team to his own penalty area, only to see Atletico Madrid's cross into the penalty area, which was intercepted by Cristiano and immediately pressed up, and suddenly pressed on until the opponent kicked the ball out of the sideline.
"Ronaldo defused this offensive crisis! It can be seen that Ronaldo retreated very deeply this time and obviously strengthened his running! ”
Zidane watched from the sidelines, and in the second half towards the end, he felt more clearly that the retreat and running of Bale and Benzema on the field had also increased significantly, and the connection with the midfield was even closer.
He was very well aware that it was all about Cristiano.
The front trident composed of Cristiano, Benzema, and Bale is Real Madrid's strongest offensive weapon, and it is the team's
() Spiritual symbols, and the central leader in this group of spiritual symbols is undoubtedly Cristiano Ronaldo.
So when Cristiano took the lead in strengthening his running and defending in the team, the efficiency of the entire team increased, and the investment of the rest of the players quickly paid off.
It's a positive, positive one that only Cristiano can make a big impact on the team!
"With three minutes of stoppage time in the first half, Real Madrid got a corner!"
Kroos stood in the penalty area, and he glanced in front of the penalty area to see Cristiano alone on the edge of the crowd, with Benzema and Bale scrambling in front of the goal, being watched by Atletico defenders.
Cross pursed his lips, he didn't think too much about it, and went straight to Cristiano.
Cristiano quickly adjusted his position, and after a spin to get rid of the interception of the player in front of him, he immediately stopped the ball and hit the goal with a low shot with little pause!
The ball went into the corner of the goal!
'Ronaldo scored a goal in first-half stoppage time! Real Madrid 1-0! ”
Real Madrid finally sounded the clarion call to score in the final countdown to the end of the first half!
In the second half of the game, the pressure of scoring goals was suddenly relieved.
Griezmann watched the ball go into the net, and suddenly a bad premonition rose in his heart.
It's Cristiano again.
He took a deep breath, they still had time, they still had a chance, don't be nervous, don't over-deify that person, that person doesn't always score goals - Griezmann said to himself in his heart.
The whistle blew for the second half.
As the team became more connected to the midfield, Atletico Madrid's attacking space became more and more cramped, and the pressure on their attacking front court was almost equally translated into pressure at the back.
"Kaka and Luka Modric worked together in midfield to organize a round of attack! Modric shifted the ball to Kaka on the left! ”
Kaka took the ball and immediately strode towards Atletico Madrid's front court, the ball was less than a meter in front of him, but he firmly controlled the ball at his feet, so that the Atletico defenders had no way to snatch it.
His gaze quickly caught up with Cristiano, and the two were almost on the same level, their eyes meeting at the same time.
Both were running at high speed, and Atletico's defenders were chasing after them -
"Kaka and Ronaldo are so fast! Atletico Madrid's defence was shattered and had to pick up speed to catch up with them! ”
Just as the commentator spoke, Atletico Madrid's defenders were also accelerating, but what no one expected was that in the next second, Kaka and Cristiano suddenly slowed down almost at the same time.
With a sharp stop, Kaka struck a precise cross that crossed the halfway court, shook past the speeding Atletico players and went around Cristiano.
Cristiano seemed to have guessed Kaka's intentions earlier, and his movement perfectly matched the trajectory of the ball.
Nearly twenty yards from outside the penalty area, Cristiano took advantage of the moment when the ball rolled and bounced on the grass and suddenly volleyed!
"The ball went in!! Ronaldo's long-range squirt!! The ball was caught off guard and hit the Atletico Madrid goal!! ”
"A great pass from Kaka! Let's take another look at how the ball was hit into the goal! ”
"Amazing tacit understanding! Whether it's Kaka or Cristiano, it's as if they've already predicted each other's predictions! It's horrible! ”
"Ronaldo double-ringed! Real Madrid is 2-0! ”
The entire Santiago Bernabeu stadium erupted in loud cheers, while the fan stands on the other side of Atletico Madrid were as quiet as death.
No one could believe what was happening on the pitch at this moment.
One second they were arrogantly dancing with cigarette bombs, cheering for Atletico Madrid, and the fans who were booing the Portuguese, and the next second they suddenly collectively sounded as if they had been deprived of their vocal cords by a witch.
They opened their mouths wide open, or they covered their faces, and they couldn't believe that Cristiano's goal was in good faith.
It's too crisp, it's too unexpected, it's too perfect.
There was no unnecessary adjustment on every kick, and the whole team's counterattack after the break was like a shark's fin hidden under the sea, drawing an inverted triangle-like swell, and Cristiano Ronaldo was the killer blow that rushed out again after the shark's fin was completely submerged under the water.
The game continued, and Cristiano fished the ball and quickly returned to the field.
Zidane had returned to his seat, the mountain of pressure on his shoulders had completely vanished, and this match was enough for him to regain support.
And like Ancenotti said, no matter what, Cristiano is on the field, Cristiano is on his side, that's the most important thing.
He's the king on the pitch, he's in charge of the game on the pitch, and he's the one who dominates Real Madrid.
- Those players will follow him.
Zidane looked at the Portuguese on the field, he was like a flame that would never be extinguished, and such a fiery and bright spirit was rapidly infecting the whole team.
The game came to the last minute.
Zinedine Zidane replaced two youngsters who had just been promoted to the first team this season - Morata and Vazquez, and substituted Bale and Pepe, who had just recovered from injury some time ago.
Vázquez played at full-back and made two beautiful blocks to bring Atletico's attack back.
At the same time, he played the ball back to the middle of the sideline, and as Kroos advanced, Real Madrid went deep into Atletico's front field and in the box.
Alvaro Morata was so excited as he warmed up on the sidelines, making his first appearance for Real Madrid's first team, and he found Cristiano's place almost immediately after receiving the ball without too much stickiness, and then tucked it in without hesitation.
Cristiano accelerated to grab the ball, and the Atletico defenders immediately surrounded him, and a forward shoulder and a bent knee immediately caused Cristiano to unbalance and lean forward at high speed, while at the same time, the opponent unceremoniously stepped on his shoes.
Morata saw Cristiano fall in front of him, he screamed, jumped up and signaled to the referee.
Cristiano sat down on the grass, turning his head to look at the referee, panting and pulling up his socks—
- His socks fell below his knees in several falls.
And his sneakers, Cristiano almost laughed, his sneakers were trampled by the opponent, and that foot stepped on his laces.
He flicked his boot at the referee, and he threw a look, and then he obediently put them back on.
The referee did not respond immediately, perhaps listening to the advice given by the assistant team in the headphones.
Kaka walked up to Cristiano and pulled Chris to his feet.
He noticed that the sneakers on his lover's feet were all trampled with obvious footprints, and the white laces were half-broken and broken.
Kaka paused for a moment, narrowing his eyes to look at the Atletico players who were surrounding the referee trying to make a plea, where Ramos and Coentrão were in charge of applying pressure, and he didn't need to do anything.
He bent down and patted the grass clippings on Cristiano's socks, then crouched down to re-lace his lover's shoes.
"Kaka?" Cristiano almost jumped back, his eyelids darting hard, and the scene felt somewhat familiar.
"Shoelaces." Kaka said, he grabbed Cristiano's ankle and moved it in front of him, his palm could easily wrap around Cristiano's ankle, which was too slender, "It's going to break, it won't open before you run two steps, I'll retie it for you." ”
The broken shoelace was broken in a large section, and Cristiano's fingers were not dexterous, at least in handling the shoelaces that were a lot shorter, they were certainly not as agile as Kaka's fingers.
He touched the tip of his nose and smiled at Kaka, acquiescing to his lover's move to tie his shoes.
"The referee gave a penalty at the last minute!"
"Take a look at this replay! It's true that the movement is not obvious, but the nature of stepping on the feet and top knees is too red-lined! ”
"Ronaldo make some self-punishment!"
"What is Ronaldo doing here? It seems that Kaka is tying Ronaldo's shoes? ”
“…… Could it be that the foul just now caused the laces to open? Just now Ronaldo showed the referee his shoes that were stepped on haha, his face was strange and speechless, I'm afraid if the referee doesn't give a penalty, he will give a luxurious big eye! ”
"It looks like the laces were broken, which is really ...... The foot is ruthless enough. It's better to change to a pair of sneakers. ”
Kaka tied Cristiano's shoelaces, and he patted Cristiano's ankle to signal that it was okay.
Cristiano nodded.
"Ronaldo is twelve yards!"
He calmly looked at goal, looked at goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, and then kissed the ball and placed it firmly on the white dot.
Courtois stretched his limbs, equally calmly poised for his momentum.
"Run!"
"Knock on the door!!"
The ball didn't fool Courtois, who was keen to guess Cristiano's direction before the ball was even kicked.
However, this does not change any results.
In the face of tremendous power and speed, even if Courtois guessed the right direction, the ball still came out of his fingertips, and the huge force made this little line change worthless, and still crashed straight into the net!
"The ball went in!! Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick !! Beat Atletico Madrid 3-0!! ”
"A turnaround at home! Atletico Madrid can only regret ending the Copa del Rey early! Congratulations to Real Madrid! ”
"Ronaldo faced Atletico Madrid and hit three goals in a row! Completely stunned Atletico Madrid! ”
Griezmann wiped his face vigorously, he stared at the big electronic screen hanging the score on the field, and Cristiano's three goals were clearly recorded under the huge number "3", like an incredible nightmare.
And he did. Griezmann thought to himself, but he quickly reassured himself that they were only one goal ahead – despite the fans' excitement as if victory was a foregone conclusion.
This is the beginning of the duel, there will be more meetings between them, Cristiano is by no means invincible, he can always beat him once, and he can always make Cristiano willing to exchange jerseys with him in front of him!
