After Real Madrid reversed the score, their mentality became more stable.
Gao Shen's strategy for this game is to focus on passing and controlling the ball, seizing the ball and rhythm, and letting Atletico Madrid come up to grab it.
The three midfielders of Toni Kroos, Modric and Xabi Alonso can ensure that Real Madrid has sufficient midfield control.
More importantly, three days later, Real Madrid will travel to Porto, Portugal, to challenge Porto away.
This will be the last but also the most important game of Real Madrid's group stage.
Only by winning will Real Madrid have any hope of advancing.
But the goal conceded after the start disrupted Real Madrid's plan.
Now it's better, Real Madrid is back in the lead, the players are calm, and they are more resolute in executing sophisticated tactics.
Especially Di Maria's right wing, which led Atletico Madrid's left wing Diaz to fight desperately.
Atletico Madrid's playing style is rough and dirty, but their style is very tenacious.
Simeone is nicknamed the Bandit Commander, and Atletico Madrid is like the bandit army under his leadership.
Real Madrid obviously controlled the ball, but they still didn't back down and attacked Real Madrid when they had the opportunity. They were not timid at all. Even when the score was behind, they even showed more courage.
Obviously, Simeone knew Gao Shen's intentions and guessed Real Madrid's thoughts, but he just didn't intend to let Real Madrid get their wish.
This guy is quite happy to play the role of annoying troublemaker.
In this case, the game entered a stalemate stage.
Until the end of the first half, Diego Costa received the ball and once again attacked Real Madrid's left wing.
This is also a recognized weakness in Real Madrid's defense.
Both Marcos Alonso and Nacho have obvious weaknesses, and they are also areas that opponents like to attack very much.
But most of the time, Marcos Alonso's arrival rate is still good.
Just like this time, as soon as Diego Costa rushed up, Real Madrid's left back returned to his position.
Atletico Madrid's forward crossed to find Falcao, but Ramos took the lead and headed the ball out of the penalty area.
The ball was at the edge of the penalty area, but Atletico Madrid's Mario Suarez took the lead and tipped the ball to Turan.
As soon as Turan got the ball, Xabi Alonso had already come over. After adjusting, Modric suddenly came out from behind and flanked Xabi Alonso to pass Turan's ball.
It hit the right side.
Di Maria retreated very deep and got the ball in the unmanned area on the right wing. Atletico Madrid players immediately rushed towards him.
Modric understood it and sprinted forward.
Di Maria glanced ahead and made a long pass to the frontcourt.
Benzema just retreated to the right wing, filling the gap where Di Maria retreated too deep. As a result, Ronaldo is now competing with Godin and Miranda in front.
The Portuguese was faster. After judging the landing point first, he used his body to block Godin. When the ball hit the ground and rebounded, he used the outside instep of his right foot to pick the ball back behind him and handed it to Benzema.
.
Benzema strode the ball to the left side of the arc.
After Ronaldo passed the ball, he quickly crossed into the left side of the penalty area from the top of the arc. Benzema also understood and wanted to pass the ball, but Atletico Madrid had four defensive players coming back at this time, and Ronaldo was
Miranda and Godin flanked him.
This ball cannot be passed at all.
While everyone was moving at high speed, Godin was one step ahead.
The ball was blocked by Godin, but Benzema caught up and stopped the ball.
At this moment, he heard a shout from teammate Modric, and then saw a white figure quickly entering the penalty area from the right side of the top of the arc.
Surprisingly, it was Modric who had just returned to defense.
Benzema hesitated again and passed the ball directly between Mario Suarez and Diaz.
Everyone is on the left side, leaving the entire right side of the penalty area empty.
After Modric caught up, he stopped Benzema's pass, adjusted it, and fired an angry shot without waiting for Gabi to get close.
The football flew from Asenjo's side into Atletico Madrid's goal.
Three to one!
In the entire Bernabeu, more than 76,000 Real Madrid fans rushed out of their seats crazily at this moment, shouting for Real Madrid and Modric's name at the top of their lungs.
Reversed!
And it’s a big reversal!
"Now Real Madrid is playing more and more methodically, and the players' cooperation is becoming more and more sophisticated."
"Whether it was a positional battle or a quick counterattack, Real Madrid played very thoughtfully."
"Three offensive players completely outplayed six defensive players. This has to be said to be very surprising."
"Atletico Madrid coach Simeone was furious on the sidelines. He had a million reasons to be dissatisfied with his team's defense just now because he had six defensive players inside and outside the penalty area."
"But they were too concentrated on Ronaldo and Benzema's side, which led to the neglect of Modric who came up from the back row."
"Modric has always been in the midfield and backcourt, but suddenly he goes forward, which is very fatal!"
"Now, the thorny issue has passed into Atletico Madrid's hands."
…
The first half ended with Real Madrid's 3-1 reversal.
Everyone can see that the overall outcome of this game has been decided.
But Gao Shen still didn't dare to be careless, and he still reminded the players again and again during the halftime break to be cautious.
Atletico Madrid is an extremely tenacious team. Once they are given a chance, it will be very dangerous.
This is why Gao Shen has been saying that Real Madrid's schedule is terrible.
Whether it was against Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, almost all important games were scheduled before or after the Champions League, and the Champions League was drawn into the group of death.
This is very troublesome.
Just like now, do you want to win this city derby?
We play against Porto in the last round of the Champions League group stage, we have to try our best, right?
How to ensure that players produce high-intensity output in both games?
This is a problem Real Madrid often encounters this season.
Even Gao Shen, who has two assistants in Buenaventura and Pintus, still has a headache with this kind of schedule.
Of course, the reason for this is also related to Real Madrid being drawn into the group of death.
Every game is a final, who can bear it?
During the halftime break, Gao Shen still encouraged the players to stay focused in the second half.
"Atletico Madrid is a team that has always been difficult to deal with. We must be cautious."
Gao Shen also named Di Maria again, first affirming his efforts and performance in the first half, and also hoping that he can put more pressure on Atletico Madrid's left wing.
Especially the position of Dias.
"You must defeat this point for me!"
Atletico Madrid is staring at Marcos Alonso's side of Real Madrid's left wing, so why aren't Real Madrid staring at Dias's side?
Everyone is half-measured.
"guys!"
Gao Shen stood in the middle of the Bernabeu home team's dressing room, looking around at the Real Madrid players.
After half the game, each of them was very tired, but under Gao Shen's watchful eyes, they all cheered up.
"I know it's been very hard for everyone during this period, but I still hope you can persevere and bite the bullet again."
"No championship in this world is easy. Only those who have experienced numerous tests and countless setbacks and can persist in laughing to the end are the winners!"
"This schedule is difficult, but it also helps us a lot."
"Ronnie." Gao Shen pointed at Ronaldo.
"You have played the best data and form in your career. If you can maintain this momentum, if we can win a meaningful championship, tell me, next year's FIFA Ballon d'Or award, besides you,
, who else could it be?”
After hearing this, the Portuguese's eyes suddenly became extremely determined.
He wants to win a second Ballon d'Or!
Thinking crazy!
"And you, Angel, I dare say that this is the best season you have ever played, and it is also a season in which you fully demonstrate your talents. Don't you want to reward yourself with something?"
"Karim, you must not be willing to be a docile cat all your life, right? You also want to bite people, don't you?"
"And the rest of you, don't you want to pay back the criticism, ridicule and ridicule you have suffered in the past few years?"
"Only the champion can rectify our name!"
"Only honor can wash away all the shame on us!"
"I believe that all difficulties and setbacks will only make us stronger."
"Now, we are one of the best teams in the world."
"In the Champions League's group of death, we were on par with Manchester City, who had won two consecutive titles. We defeated Dortmund and Porto. In La Liga, we defeated Barcelona and now we are about to defeat Atletico Madrid."
"But, you have to believe me, this is not our best time yet!"
"We still have a lot of potential that has not been tapped. We can become stronger and perform better."
"Believe me, our goal is not only the La Liga championship, but also the Champions League championship!"
"As long as I can advance to the group stage, I will be confident of winning the championship!"
"As for the league, our goal is to keep the pressure on Barcelona."
"Start by beating Atletico Madrid!"
…
The profound mobilization inspired everyone at Real Madrid.
In fact, players have indeed felt progress recently.
Not only myself, but also my teammates around me are constantly improving.
Everyone knows that Real Madrid's current overall strength is completely different from that at the beginning of the season.
Gao Shen's words made them more confident.
So at the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid played very confidently and calmly.
Faced with Atletico Madrid's pressing pressure after the start, Real Madrid not only did not mess up, but also kept passing and cutting the ball to create opportunities.
Di Maria, Modric and Carvajal are also actively trying to attack on the right.
Until the 59th minute, Di Maria received a pass from Modric on the right, shook off Dias, cut inside with the ball, attracted the attention of Atletico Madrid's defense, and passed
To Benzema in the penalty area.
The French center blocked Godin with his body and knocked the ball back to Ronaldo. The Portuguese cut inside, got rid of Mario Suarez, and fired a furious shot with his right foot.
The football flew out with lightning speed and hit the right side of the goal.
Real Madrid scores again!
Four to one!
Cristiano Ronaldo roared at the top of his lungs and the whole crowd ran.
This is his charge for next year’s FIFA Ballon d’Or!
