Marcelo quickly broke in and attacked from the left.
Cristiano Ronaldo pulled Juanfran to the outside. Marcelo immediately switched to cutting inside. After actively cooperating with Toni Kroos, he quickly inserted diagonally into the left rib of the penalty area and quickly passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Luo.
The Portuguese saw Marcelo's gesture indicating that he would pass the ball in front of him again, but he still chose to cut inside with the ball. After getting rid of Juanfran, he suddenly swung his right foot and completed a powerful volley.
The ball was like a cannonball, flying straight towards the goal.
Asenjo reacted quickly and blocked the ball in time, but the ball was released.
Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was too fast and too sudden, and the arc was too wavy.
After the ball was released, chaos was created in Atletico Madrid's penalty area, but Miranda moved the ball away immediately, but it hit Benzema's leg. As a result, the French center failed to stop and was hit by Godin.
Kick the ball with your feet.
Modric suddenly shot a long shot from outside the penalty area and missed the crossbar.
Only at this moment did all the Real Madrid fans in the audience scream in surprise.
This sudden and rapid counterattack was impressive, but Atletico Madrid's retreat was also very fast.
Despite this, Real Madrid almost scored the goal.
The whole situation at Atletico Madrid is very dangerous.
But the Shenzhen Army was very accustomed to this kind of defense, so they defended very promptly.
…
Gao Shen stood in front of the home team's coaching bench, watching Modric's long-range shot go slightly higher, and he felt a sense of disappointment.
Real Madrid's continuous fast break just now was indeed very threatening.
But Atletico Madrid's defense is also quite impressive.
This is Atletico Madrid's biggest competitiveness now, and that is their excellent defense.
But Gao Shen also noticed that before, it would have been difficult to pull off an offensive like Real Madrid's.
Thinking of this, Gao Shen raised his head and glanced at the time on the scoreboard. It was already 69 minutes and it would be 70 minutes soon.
Knew it!
Atletico Madrid and Dortmund have many similarities, but they also have big differences.
The similarity is that they both make up for their lack of technical ability by burning physical energy, so they consume a lot of energy.
But the difference is that Atletico Madrid is more inclined to defend, while Dortmund is more inclined to attack.
The most obvious one is the investment in counterattack.
And Atletico Madrid's physical energy consumption will be smaller than Dortmund's.
In fact, Simeone's team can defend you for ninety minutes.
But now, Gao Shen noticed that their physical fitness began to decline.
In order to further confirm, Gao Shen walked to the sidelines and came to the home team's coaching bench, signaling Carlos Vargas to confirm the current situation of Atletico Madrid.
As expected, the result from the player activity is that Atletico Madrid players also consume a lot of physical energy.
As Gao Shen said just now, Atletico Madrid's physical fitness is better than Dortmund's, so it is basically unrealistic to try to exhaust Atletico Madrid's physical fitness, but as long as it is exhausted to a certain level, then replace the players and rush.
It can still be done.
Compared with Atletico Madrid, what is Real Madrid's biggest advantage?
Is it the strength of the players?
What a joke!
Real Madrid's biggest advantage is the thickness of the team's bench!
Now, 70 minutes have passed, and players such as Dzeko, Pogba, Isco, and Jese are still sitting on Real Madrid's bench.
What about Atletico Madrid?
Who else can Simeone replace?
Do you really think Simeone doesn’t want to make a substitution?
He can't change it!
Because there are only so many people in Atletico Madrid's current lineup, he can't be replaced at all!
"Isco, go warm up quickly!" Gao Shen shouted loudly.
Isco, who was young but deliberately wore a beard to make himself look more mature, jumped up from the bench and quickly ran out to warm up.
Not long after, he came to Gao Shen's side again.
"After you go up, get the ball more, rush more, use your technical advantages, penetrate their midfield for me, and pull out the players on the back line."
"And, most importantly, pay attention to passing the ball!"
At the end of Gao Shen's words, he slapped Isco heavily on the shoulder with his right hand.
"You told me that you like to control the ball and dribble, right?"
Isco nodded solemnly, he indeed told Gao Shen so.
He even calls himself a representative of street football. He regards possession of the ball as his life, so he said that if he is not allowed to dribble and control the ball, his playing will be meaningless.
"Very good, then I will give you a chance now. Go up and dribble and control the ball, break through the defense, and prove to me and everyone what your talent and tactical value are."
"I believe you will be fine."
Isco nodded heavily again, "Don't worry, boss, I won't let you down."
"Go ahead."
Gao Shen patted Isco on the shoulder again and sent him to the substitution area.
…
Real Madrid is finally making a substitution!
The whole Bernabeu was in a state of excitement.
No. 23 Isco replaced No. 22 Di Maria.
This looks like a matchup substitution.
But in Atletico Madrid's head coach's chair, Simeone's face became very serious.
Because he had clearly guessed Gao Shen's intentions.
In the first seventy minutes of this game, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid had various stalemates, and a series of tactics formulated by experts. No matter how many players implemented them, in the final analysis, they could at least achieve one goal, which was to consume Atletico Madrid.
Now, Atletico Madrid is almost exhausted, so he replaced Isco at this time.
Is Isco playing in Di Maria's position, facing Siqueira?
Siqueira had spent the previous 70 minutes guarding Di Maria, which had already exhausted him. If Isco were to attack this side at this time, it would probably be a bit dangerous.
Thinking of this, Simeone walked out of the coaching bench and came to the sidelines, telling Gabi and Turan to appropriately strengthen the protection of Siqueira, especially to pay close attention to Isco's position.
And everyone is clearly aware that after the substitutions, Real Madrid's entire game rhythm has obviously accelerated a lot.
In contrast, Atletico Madrid played more conservatively than before.
For example, in the 76th minute, Real Madrid had just completed a steal near the midline, and Atletico Madrid stopped pressing and retreated across the board, which looked very neat.
Modric dribbles the ball forward along the right rib.
Isco ran from the center to the right and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
A few minutes after coming on as a substitute, it was clear to everyone that Isco did not go directly to Di Maria.
Real Madrid's tactics have undergone some changes.
From the original 433, it became a formation similar to 4312.
Ronaldo was pushed to almost the same center position as Benzema, but the two players often played wide.
The three defensive midfielders are lined up, but Toni Kroos and Modric often push forward.
Isco plays the role of the No. 10 attacking midfielder. His position is not fixed and is somewhat similar to a free agent.
This type of tactical play has been played by Real Madrid before, but this time Gao Shen deployed it when Atletico Madrid was almost exhausted, which gave Simeone a headache.
What worries Simeone even more is that behind the home team's coaching bench, Paul Pogba is also warming up.
It can be seen that Gao Shen is preparing for the second substitution.
One move after another really caught Simeone off guard.
This is the benefit of a strong bench.
If it were last season, the most Real Madrid could do was use Isco.
But now, there is another Pogba, and we don’t know who to replace.
Just when Simeone was stunned, he saw that Modric did not pass the ball to Isco who ran out of space.
Although there was a lot of space next to Real Madrid's No. 23 player, Modric did not pass to him, but passed to Carvajal who was further to the side and came up from the back row.
Real Madrid's right back caught up and passed Modric's pass to Isco. He suddenly accelerated and suddenly penetrated the penalty area from the right side of the penalty area and went directly behind Siqueira.
Isco happened to be right in the middle of Miranda, Siqueira and Gabi. Facing Carvajal's pass, he did not stop, but directly swept his foot and the ball immediately changed.
direction, falling directly behind Sikeira.
Carvajal quickly made a diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area, which happened to form a very beautiful one-two in a narrow range.
The entire Bernabeu exploded in an instant!
Carvajal broke into the right side of the penalty area and passed Isco's pass directly to the goal.
After Benzema and Ronaldo hit one, two double-team lines caught up at the same time.
As a result, Benzema grabbed the ball in the middle, but Godin blocked the ball at the critical moment.
Benzema's shot bounced off Godin's legs and was caught by goalkeeper Asenjo who reacted quickly.
The whole Bernabeu once again heard screams of exclamation.
"A very threatening right-side offensive combination from Real Madrid!"
"The one-two punch from Isco and Carvajal."
"A very threatening attack, but unfortunately, Benzema's shot was blocked by Godin."
"At the critical moment, Godin showed the level of a top central defender."
"Godin and Miranda, Atletico Madrid's two best players tonight."
Even the fans at the Bernabeu gave him warm applause.
Not only for the two young players from Real Madrid, but also for Godin.
The defense this time is really beautiful!
But at this moment, Real Madrid made their second substitution of the entire game.
Paul Pogba replaces Toni Kroos.
The fans of the Bernabeu once again gave warm applause.
Toni Kroos' performance tonight was also quite good.
Facing Atletico Madrid's iron wall, no one can easily break through it, but Toni Kroos's performance in the midfield is remarkable.
The live camera showed the visiting team's coaching bench and found that Simeone's expression became very ugly.
Because now he has to face a very bad situation.
Real Madrid now not only has a free agent in Isco, but behind them are two Pogba and Modric who are extremely capable of dribbling the ball.
Whether it's Pogba, Modric, or Isco, these three have the ability to get the ball, break away and advance in the face of high-pressure defense.
How can Atletico Madrid defend against this?
Simeone looked at the time, it was only 76 minutes, there was at least 15 minutes left.
Damn it, you did it on purpose, right?
This guy knows the time right!
Simone shook his head depressedly, with a bitter look on his face.
He has no choice now.
Therefore, Atletico Madrid replaced David Villa with Raul Garcia and adjusted the team's formation.
