1176 Incredible Mistakes
As the world's top coach, Ancelotti and Simeone's control over the game will basically not be too surprised.
The two coaches' deduction of the situation in the first half basically happened, but there were some accidents.
Diego Costa couldn't hold on with just nine minutes into the opening game.
The Brazilian Spanish striker was very active after the opening game and pressed and pressed against Real Madrid's defense line, but after a sprint, he obviously felt something was wrong and could not hold on. He was replaced by Adrian.
Simeone lost his big bet!
Losing this game caused Atletico Madrid to lose a valuable substitution quota and also lost the frontcourt fulcrum for counterattack.
The combination of Villa and Adrian, whether it is tactical, game style, or personal strength, is far from replacing Diego Costa. Although Villa is a world-class striker, he is still old.
This created the earliest substitution in the history of the Champions League finals.
Simeone looked very depressed on the sidelines. Obviously, at this moment, he felt that the goddess of luck tonight was not on his side.
Subsequently, Atletico Madrid still adopted the tactic of high-level pressing and oppression, which is what they are best at and the only way they may defeat Real Madrid. Real Madrid did not choose to fight head-on, but instead contracted appropriately to consume Atletico Madrid by passing and controlling the ball.
Simeone knew Real Madrid's intentions, but he had no choice.
Only the strong have a choice, while the weak can only accept their fate!
In addition to the crazy dog-like fouls, Simeone's team also frequently fouls.
The two teams are already mortal enemies in the same city. The Dutch referee Kepps is soft on the whistle. After a few tests at the beginning, Atletico Madrid figured out the style of the Dutch referee and began to increase the intensity of the movement, which made the gunpowder smell very strong in the game.
One of them, Real Madrid wanted to launch a counterattack quickly, but Raul Garcia decisively made a tactical foul, tackled Di Maria, and destroyed a very good counterattack opportunity for Real Madrid. The referee gave Raul Garcia a yellow card, but Ramos and Di Maria were both very annoyed and went forward to find the referee to make a judgment and appeal.
As a result, Ramos had a bad tone and was also shown a yellow card. Fortunately, he was pulled away by Yang Yang who arrived in time.
Both sides played very carefully, and the players' execution ability was high. Neither of them left the other side with much chance, so the game became a war of attrition, and in comparison, Real Madrid would consume less.
Diego Costa ended up in the game due to injury at the beginning. Atletico Madrid lost an important frontcourt fulcrum and the game was stalemate. These seemed to be beneficial to Real Madrid, as if the goddess of victory was waving towards Real Madrid.
But just when everyone thought that the victory balance was tilting towards Real Madrid, the game suddenly reversed.
In the 36th minute, Atletico Madrid got a chance to kick the right corner.
Captain Gabi made a corner kick and was pushed out of the penalty area by Real Madrid defender, but outside the penalty area, Juan Fran pushed the ball back again and fell back into the penalty area again.
In the penalty area, Ramos and Godin were competing for each other for the landing point. It seemed that Godin had already grabbed the position, but Ramos also jumped at the same time, desperately interfering with Godin.
At this time, Casillas, who was originally guarding the goal line, abandoned the goal and rushed directly towards the ball landing point. But just halfway through the attack, he realized that he had made a mistake.
Under the interference of Ramos, Godin's ball was not fast, his strength was small, and his angle was not tricky, but it was precisely because of Casillas' attack that Real Madrid had empty goal and no one guarded it.
After realizing something was wrong, Casillas immediately turned around and ran back, and quickly rushed over, trying to snatch the ball out before entering the goal. Although he successfully caught it, the ball eventually landed on the ground and bounced into the goal.
Real Madrid goalkeeper was so angry that he pounded the grass hard inside the goal, but he could no longer change the reality.
...
"Wow, my god, what's going on?"
"It's so surprising that Casillas actually made such a bad low-level mistake."
"This should be an offensive opportunity that Atletico Madrid had never thought of, but he scored a goal."
"This is really incredible. Casillas's mistake this time was so fatal. It directly put Real Madrid in a backward position. It was simply giving Atletico Madrid a generous gift."
"The change in the game situation is so surprising. We were just saying that if we continue to develop in this direction, Real Madrid will win in the second half, but unexpectedly, Atletico Madrid has scored one goal now."
"We can see that Simeone was extremely excited on the sidelines. He himself did not expect that the captain of Real Madrid would send them such a goal, and for Atletico Madrid, this goal is likely to allow them to win the championship."
“Unbelievable, really unbelievable.”
...
Real Madrid players were also shocked.
Yang Yang stood in the front and looked back at the goal. He saw Casillas slowly getting up from the goal, looking extremely embarrassed, while other Real Madrid players looked very surprised and disappointed.
This kind of goal conceals hit the player the biggest blow.
Everyone is working so hard to create opportunities, but the result is that a low-level mistake ruined the team's good situation. What will the players think?
Casillas has experienced many battles and must have understood this, so after getting up from the ground, he looked very lonely, but he had to raise his hand to apologize to his teammates, but this did not help the team's morale much.
Leaning behind zero to one, Casillas made such a mistake and it really took some time to adjust his emotions.
…………
…………
In the stands at Stade Light, Real Madrid President Florentino, accompanied by Grand Chief Manuel Redondo and Technical Director Bardano, sat with Real Madrid celebrities to watch the game.
When they saw Casillas making such a low-level mistake that caused the team to lose the ball, everyone's face was disappointed. Even Yero, Raul, Guti and others who had been fighting with Casillas for many years also showed an incredible look.
This is the Champions League final, and a goal concedes may change the result.
It is impossible to achieve zero mistakes in any game, but Casillas' mistake this time is indeed too serious.
"The adjustment of the goalkeeper's position is imminent, and we must take action as soon as possible." A trace of sharpness flashed across Florentino's eyes.
If Real Madrid loses the Champions League championship tonight, it must be Casillas' responsibility.
No one will deny that Casillas has made a lot of contributions to Real Madrid, but we cannot ignore the fact that his overall competitive strength has declined greatly. His technical characteristics and age make it difficult for him to feel at ease.
In the position of goalkeeper, Real Madrid has been trying to sign up for a day or two, but they have never been as urgent as they are now.
This is the Champions League final. In a game worth over 100 million yuan, the goalkeeper made such a mistake. How can people feel at ease?
"We have been in contact with Manchester United and are striving to introduce De Gea. The players themselves want to come to Real Madrid, but Manchester United is also very tough. Unless we let Di Maria go, they will not consider selling De Gea." Bardano frowned.
Manchester United attaches great importance to De Gea, especially this season, the Red Devils performed poorly, but De Gea played a victorious role, which made the Spanish goalkeeper even more popular and became an important part of Manchester United's revival plan, so Manchester United basically refused to talk.
To use the statement revealed by Manchester United privately, if Real Madrid wants to get De Gea, they have to exchange it for Di Maria, which is unacceptable to Real Madrid, because in the current European football world, a right winger like Di Maria is very difficult to find, but De Gea is not the only candidate for Real Madrid.
"I talked to Vic and he gave two reliable candidates, one is Manchester United's De Gea, and the other is Chelsea's loan at Atletico Madrid Courtois Courtois. From the current point of view, Courtois is more likely, but Barcelona also wants to get him."
Courtois is nearly two meters tall and has performed very well in Atletico Madrid in recent years, so many people have forgotten that he is actually only twenty-two years old and is still a very young rookie, but he stood in front of Atletico Madrid's goal tonight, blocking high and receiving low, and performing well.
The important reason why Chelsea considered selling Courtois was that they had Cech.
As we all know, Cech is Mourinho's favorite player. Courtois' loan contract at Atletico Madrid expires this year. Chelsea hopes that he will return, but Courtois made a harsh statement as early as April, and he does not want to go back unless he is given a main position.
In fact, this is understandable, because Courtois is now the main goalkeeper at the Champions League final level. If Chelsea returns to play a substitute for Cech, it will be fatal for a goalkeeper who is only 22 years old and is in a critical stage of his career advancement.
It was because of this contradiction that Barcelona took advantage of the opportunity to enter and tried to sign Courtois to replace Valdes, but according to the revelations, Chelsea offered a high price of 30 million pounds, which made Barcelona very hesitant.
The 23-year-old De Gea and the 22-year-old Courtois, these two goalkeepers are undoubtedly the most eye-catching young rookies in European football, and everyone believes that they are the top goalkeepers in European football in the next few years.
Real Madrid goalkeeper coach Vic has trained many top goalkeepers in his career, such as Buffon, Dida and Cech. He has affirmed De Gea and Courtois, which shows the strength and potential of these two goalkeepers.
"Strive to win De Gea!" Florentino hesitated for a while and made a quick decision.
Bardano nodded in agreement because De Gea is Spain's main goalkeeper in the next ten years.
...
On the stadium, after Atletico Madrid unexpectedly scored a goal, Simeone's team began to adopt a more stable defensive tactic and began to retreat across the board, becoming extremely conservative.
