The coaching staff and benches of both sides had already been prepared on the sidelines. Zidane looked heavy and put his hands in his pockets. This was a 4-4-2 formation that he had not used frequently since coaching.
The team members are not very familiar with it yet and don’t know how effective it will be.
But this tactic was specially customized by Zidane for Real Madrid in order to play against a strong team. I hope I can perform well today!
The assistant coaches on the sidelines were also whispering. Bell, Toni Kroos, and all the stars on the bench were all watching the opening of the game with anticipation.
Their substitute lineup is extremely luxurious. Looking across Europe, their substitute lineup can form a strong team!
This shows how strong Real Madrid's bench depth is.
Zidane looked at the stadium with deep eyes, slightly lost in thought.
Atletico Madrid is a very tough team. Their fierce defensive actions make the whole of Spain intimidated. Anyone who can play Atletico Madrid without losing a player is considered tough.
Zidane was not afraid of anything else but Bai Ran getting hurt.
For some reason, he always had a premonition in his heart that today's game was extraordinary!
On the sidelines, the opponent's head coach Simeone also stood up and stood beside the Bernabeu with his head held high and his high-spirited look like a general!
This head coach is also a world-renowned coach with a very distinctive personality and characteristics! His team is very good, and it can even be said that Simeone can be stable in the top three in the world!
At this moment, he looked down at his watch, then turned around and asked the assistant coach to get the tactical board.
Simeone's training of the team's defense is different from ordinary people. Atletico Madrid's backcourt is simply art. This has also made Atletico Madrid a strong defensive team. He is really a master of tactics, which people always tend to underestimate.
In terms of charisma, Simeone's ability is also unparalleled in the world. The players admire him very much, and everyone at Atletico Madrid loves this head coach.
In terms of emotional intelligence, Simeone is also very smart. There is no superstar effect in Atletico Madrid's locker room. There is only one boss and that is Simeone!
When the contract was renewed in 2015, Atletico Madrid had given Simeone full responsibility for football affairs, and all signings were subject to Simeone's decision. The chairman of Atletico Madrid also said that at Atletico Madrid, from senior management to players to fans, No one can question Simeone!
This is not allowed. Atletico Madrid wants to keep Simeone at all costs!
This shows how important Simeone's position is in Atletico Madrid.
At this time, players from both sides lined up and entered the venue one after another!
"The game is about to begin. This is a grand game, a focus game in La Liga. The world's eyes are focused on this. Let me bring you a broadcast of this unprecedented event."
"Okay, we saw the players officially enter the stadium. Real Madrid sent a 442 style of play, led by Ronaldo and partnered with Benzema to form the striker."
"In the middle is Modric, and the talented young player Bai Ran, who is very popular recently."
"Real Madrid's two wingers were handed over to Isco and Asensio. We didn't see Bell's name. He probably hasn't recovered from his injury yet."
"The defenders are still the double central defenders of Ramos and Varane, and the full-backs are given to Marcelo and Carvajal."
"It is not difficult to see that Real Madrid has displayed all its main players today and does not dare to underestimate Atletico Madrid at all!"
Then, the commentator turned the page and continued: "Atletico Madrid is indeed very strong and has achieved very good results in La Liga this season."
"Atletico Madrid here also has a 4-4-2 formation. The goalkeeper is the team's No. 13 Oblak. Felipe Luis and Godin occupy the defense, and there are Savic and Juanfran on the wings."
"Atletico Madrid's midfield lineup is still very strong, Carrasco, Gabi, Koke, and Saul."
"They sent heavy troops to the forward line. Torres, who was unwell, still insisted on playing, and the French star Griezmann also played."
"This game is very exciting. I believe everyone is looking forward to it just like me. We also see that the players on the field have warmed up and set up their formations."
"Okay! As the referee's whistle blows, the game begins!"
Real Madrid kicked off from the center circle and took the lead in controlling the ball and trying to launch an attack.
But they know that Atletico Madrid's defensive actions are very large, so they don't dare to go too fast. The damage they receive from violations at high speed will be much greater than normal!
They were also afraid of being injured at the opponent's feet, so they started a positional warfare attack from the beginning.
The two wingers moved forward, but Asensio rushed into the penalty area and connected with Ronaldo.
This way, there are more ball-playing points in the penalty area, and midfielders will be more comfortable with their choices.
Bai Ran is sitting in the midfield, and any pass must pass through Bai Ran's side!
On the court, Bai Ran is the hub of the entire offense.
It is also the brains of the team!
This position is so important that many fans feel that Zidane's tactics are too risky and not suitable for Real Madrid.
Besides, although Bai Ran is strong, he has too little competition experience. Is it okay to give him such a difficult task?
If you want to be a good playmaker, you must have the most sophisticated experience and know how to handle the ball!
But unexpectedly, Bai Ran adapted well here. After the ball came, Bai Ran first slowed down his rhythm, then used the movements of his feet to tear up the space, and finally looked up and put the ball in the most reasonable position. .
Zidane also felt that Bai Ran played well and that this tactic had only just begun to take shape. If he wanted to go further, there must be many things that needed to be changed.
However, at this moment, the situation on the field suddenly changed. Bai Ran caught the ball and made a fake shot for a real dunk. He turned around and passed Carrasco. Facing the left side of the opponent's goal, he found Ronaldo running ahead.
At this time, Bai Ran, relying on his 100 passing attributes, directly aimed at the target and made a long pass!
The ball fell to Ronaldo's feet. No matter how strong the opponent's defenders were, it would be in vain if they couldn't touch Real Madrid's men and the ball!
Cristiano Ronaldo broke into the opponent's penalty area with the ball and hit the goalkeeper Oblak with a kick!
The ball was saved by Oblak!
Ao Daddy!
As expected of Ao Dad!
This shot was powerful and heavy, and the angle was not right. Oblak jumped up and saved it bravely. It was a very difficult defense!
Afterwards, Oblak hugged the ball tightly and quickly got up.
"Run forward!"
He called out to his teammates and then threw a big hand throw!
The ball almost crossed the half court, Oblak's arm is too strong!
Bai Ran was stunned for a moment. The ball was thrown from the opponent's goalkeeper's hands and went directly over his head!
What an exaggeration!
Even though Bai Ran was extremely talented and had great control over the court, he still couldn't withstand such a powerful throw. Even with his 88% speed, he couldn't catch up with all his strength.
At this time, Modric from behind got the ball first and ran to the ball's landing point to control the ball.
But the other party will definitely not give you such a comfortable opportunity!
Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke rushed in front of Modric!
Modric held his head high, waiting for the ball to fall, while Cork's running was extremely explosive!
Before the ball fell, Modric suddenly felt a bang in his chest, and a huge impact hit him. Modric's weight was not that high, so he was directly pushed out by Cork.
Modric fell to the ground, and the opponent directly faced the defender with this ball!
Bai Ran desperately chased back, using all his 88 speed!
After Cork took the ball, the referee did not say anything. He raised his hands forward to signal that the game continued!
This is just a reasonable collision on the court for the ball. Although the action is a bit big, there is no foul!
Modric felt a chill behind him, it was broken!
Koke pushed forward with the ball, but he was chasing after him!
But no matter how fast a person runs, he can't advance as fast as a pass. This is what Zidane often says when teaching his players. Even though Bai Ran tried his best, he still couldn't keep up with this pass. .
Griezmann on the wing received the ball and worked hard to break forward!
Facing Marcelo, Griezmann dribbled the ball at high speed, a change of rhythm, and then slowed down the ball after changing direction. Just when Marcelo stopped and his center of gravity suddenly stopped, Griezmann moved forward again. Advance!
This time, Marcelo almost fell!
But even if he didn't fall to the ground and restarted to catch up, Griezmann was still far behind!
Griezmann broke into the front of the penalty area and started to cut inside!
Neither Ramos nor Varane dared to act rashly, they were afraid of being passed over if they stretched out their feet!
They can only predict Griezmann's shooting route as much as possible and block it!
Sure enough, Griezmann raised his head and looked at the city gate guarded by Navas from a distance, then raised his calf and shot!
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the sky. The quality of this shot was very high!
Navas concentrated his attention and pounced with all his strength!
Using both fists to block this is called an arc shot!
Navas's performance was like a miracle. This shot was almost from a ten-point angle. Can he save it?
What everyone didn't expect was that Torres from behind also rushed over. After the ball was saved, it landed at the feet of Torres.
At this time, Real Madrid's attention was all in the small penalty area. Torres, who was unmarked, raised his thigh and volleyed. The ball flew into the net. The goal without a goalkeeper's handle was instantly broken.
At this time, Real Madrid's attention was all in the small penalty area. Torres, who was unmarked, raised his thigh and volleyed. The ball flew into the net. The goal without a goalkeeper's handle was instantly broken.
The ball went in!
Atletico Madrid came to the Bernabeu as a guest and scored their first goal!
So exciting, this is a standard counterattack!
The Real Madrid players had regrets on their faces, and Bai Ran slowly stopped, sighed and shook his head. Atletico Madrid caught them off guard with this ball!
On the other hand, Simeone's reaction was extremely manic!
He clapped his hands on the sidelines, pumped his fist in celebration, turned around and hugged the assistant coach!
"nice shot!"
"Real Madrid is nothing more than that, I know it!"
His tactics worked. Today they just defended well and then counterattacked Real Madrid. They didn't want to have the ball!
When your backcourt presses, it will be empty, but this time they have Griezmann!
This fast horse will definitely tear apart the opponent's defense. Simeone's thoughts were completely reflected in reality, so he seemed very excited after the ball was scored!
This upright character has also created this coach's status in the team.
Torres completed the goal and completed the celebration on the sidelines. He raised his arms and shouted, slid to his knees on the sidelines, and gave the team the lead. He looked happy.
Then he rushed to the sidelines and hugged Simeone.
The head coach patted him on the back and said, "No problem! Great game!"
"Keep up the good work and win Real Madrid for me!"
Torres also showed a smile, nodded and returned to the court.
Atletico Madrid leads 1-0 away from home, and the whole team is cheering!
The Atletico Madrid fans on the sidelines, wearing red and white plaid, also went crazy.
Isn't it just a little Bai Ran? I already told you that there is nothing to be afraid of, look! Falling behind 0-1 at home!
Before the game, everyone was talking about how strong Bai Ran was, but they didn't even notice it!
Facing a strong team, you are just a weakling!
For Real Madrid, Ramos boosted morale on the field: "Cheer up!"
"It doesn't matter, we are one goal behind, let's catch up again!"
"Marcelo, your position is a little further back. You must be careful to follow people without taking any steps."
"Find Bai Ran after you get the ball! Come on, come on!"
"We can definitely win!"
Listening to Ramos' call on the court, Bai Ran's heart was lifted, and the eyes of other players also became firm. Ramos's spiritual role in Real Madrid is still very strong.
Cristiano Ronaldo also said to the midfielder: "Play the ball faster, look at my movement!"
"Benzema, please pull away and go over there."
Bai Ran held his forehead and let out a long breath. These days, this game should be the most challenging one for him.
Not only did he have to save the situation, but he also had to create three goals to complete the task.
It seems like today has been tough enough!
Atletico Madrid is in excellent condition, their offense is booming, and their defense is also extremely strong!
But Bai Ran thought in his heart that even if he couldn't complete the task, he would still help the team score three points, so work hard!
You can't be killed by others at the Bernabeu!
That would be so embarrassing!
At the same time, Ramos also targeted the opponent's man.
Playing dirty, right?
What Cork did to Modric just now was not just a simple confrontation and collision.
The small movements on his hands were not noticed by the referee, but they were seen by Ramos.
But the referee has already made a penalty, and there is no point in putting pressure on him. The referee will definitely not change the decision.
But now that they know the referee's penalty scale, Ramos understands.
In this case, the smell of gunpowder on the field should be stronger.
Continue after kickoff.
Atletico Madrid had obviously formulated the tactics for this game before the game. Once Atletico Madrid scored a goal, the tactics changed to defense!
This was a good time. Real Madrid kicked the ball out of the center circle, and the opponent's players immediately pulled the line back to the defense line.
Defense is Atletico Madrid's strength.
Once they form an iron wall, everyone in Spain will have a headache!
Real Madrid is the same!
What's even more exaggerated is that this time Atletico Madrid chose to defend with all players, and even the forwards retreated to within half court to participate in the midfield battle!
The whole team gathered in Atletico Madrid's half, and it was suddenly very crowded!
Real Madrid needs to find cooperation in such a narrow space to score another goal. It's too difficult!
Fortunately, they have Bai Ran in the midfield!
As the core of the midfield organization, Bai Ran's task is to connect the whole team's passes. Whenever they feel the pressure is coming up, they will turn around to find Bai Ran and reorganize the attack.
Bai Ran was not in a hurry. When facing the opponent's fierce press, he often used the movements and flexibility of his feet to make fake moves, thereby deceiving the opponent's players and successfully getting rid of them.
The most important thing is that his passing after getting rid of it was also wonderful, and he almost created threatening opportunities several times. Unfortunately, the forward cooperation was not very good and the opportunity was not seized.
Atletico Madrid's comprehensive return to defense really caused a headache for Real Madrid!
And when facing physical confrontations with Real Madrid players time and time again, Atletico Madrid is also testing the referee's penalty scale a little bit, using various small actions and defensive collisions to see to what extent the referee will take the card.
And this kind of temptation is most suitable to be placed on Bai Ran.
After all, this is an Asian who looks thin and easy to bully!
At this time, Bai Ran was advancing with the ball, acting as Real Madrid's towering tree in the midfield, sending opportunities to the outside and spreading its branches.
He handed the ball to Asensio on the wing. Asensio advanced with the ball forward. Facing Atletico Madrid's eager players, he found that there was no chance, so he turned and looked at the midfielder.
At this moment, Cork discovered this scene.
So he said to his teammates next to him: "Gabby."
"Huh?" Gabi turned back to look at Kirk.
"Asensio is going to be passed on to that kid from China."
"You go to guard against him, use your body, and be ruthless!"
"Come as hard as you can, let him see our strength!"
Gabi's eyes followed Cork's. Sure enough, Asensio was at the end of his rope. The only way in front of him was to pass a short pass to Bai Ran, or to pass a long pass back to the goalkeeper.
I believe his choice must be the former!
Once the ball is at Bai Ran's feet, just defend fiercely and that's it!
So Gaby nodded: "No problem!"
As we all know, Gabi is a defensive midfielder who likes fouls and physical confrontations. There is no doubt about his defensive ability, but he is also one of the best when it comes to dirty play.
They just want to test the referee's bottom line!
So, Gabi started running towards Bai Ran in advance. At this time, Asensio on the wing tried to break through to no avail, so he turned around and handed the ball to Bai Ran.
The ball was a bit slow and had very little power. Bai Ran could only jog two steps to catch the ball.
At this time, Gabi arrived from the sky!
When he ran to a position about three meters away from Bai Ran, Bai Ran suddenly felt a chill running down his spine behind him, his hairs stood up, and a murderous intention came!
This was his God's perspective reaction. There was danger within three meters, and it was behind him!
boom!
