"What is about to be played today is the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid at home! People have been looking forward to this game for a long time before this... Atletico Madrid is participating in the Champions League for the first time after four years.
, under the leadership of young coach Dick, they performed extremely well in the Champions League this season! After making it out of the two groups, they defeated Panathinaikos and entered the Champions League for the first time since 1974.
The semi-finals of the Champions League! For Atletico Madrid, this result is enough to make them feel extremely proud! And their opponent Real Madrid has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in each of the past four seasons. This is
This result is also quite brilliant. Although Real Madrid was assigned to a relatively easy group in the group stage this season, they encountered the strong enemy Bayern in the knockout round! They defeated Bayern in two rounds and also entered the semi-finals.
, still seven points behind Atletico Madrid in the league, if they want to achieve decent results this season, they must perform even better in the Champions League."
"In an interview before the start of the game, Real Madrid's French superstar Zidane said that he will do his best to win the Champions League for Real Madrid, because now he only has this championship that he has not been able to win. And Atletico Madrid's head coach Dick
In an interview, he said that although it may be a pity for a superstar like Zidane not to win the Champions League, regret is the beauty. Stars like Baggio and Ronaldo have also not won the Champions League, but it is also
It doesn’t stop them from becoming even greater.”
War of words before the start of the game is also a routine. Dick's harsh words made Zidane very angry. Although he seemed very polite during the interview, people who are familiar with him know that when he is expressionless,
, even when he smiled slightly, he was already very annoyed...
Dick is not used to this. Although Dick also admits that Zidane is one of the greatest stars in the past ten years, he only lacks the Champions League championship among the honors. It would be a pity if he cannot win it, but even if he wins again
Unfortunately, he has no reason to give up his chance to win the championship for the sake of his opponent's success.
Champions never feel too much.
April 24th came soon.
This game is also the first game in the Champions League semi-finals. The next day is Manchester United's home game against Leverkusen. After that, on May 1st, Manchester United will play away to challenge Leverkusen first.
The next day was Atletico Madrid's match at the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid.
In other words, in more than a week, the teams participating in the finals of this season's Champions League will be displayed in front of everyone.
Two La Liga teams, one Premier League team, and one Bundesliga team. In addition to the Serie A team's somewhat surprising performance decline this season, the other three major leagues of the four major leagues have won the entire Champions League.
Top four.
Countless Atletico Madrid fans rushed to the Calderon Stadium. The Calderon Stadium can accommodate 51,000 fans. In addition to the 3,000 away team tickets allocated to Real Madrid fans, the remaining 48,000 tickets are very small.
It has long been sold out by Atletico Madrid fans. At the same time, there are countless Atletico Madrid fans outside the stadium looking forward to their team defeating Real Madrid at home and laying a solid foundation for the second round.
"Real Madrid started today with the 442 they are used to, or 451. Morientes did not play. Maybe Bosque wanted him to be a surprise player... Raul came forward alone, Guti, Qi
Dardenne and Figo form the midfield. Real Madrid is planning to compete with us in the midfield. This is to make up for the shortcomings in their defense. But we will not be worse than them in this aspect, let's compete with them in the midfield.
, and then seize the opportunity to kill them!"
Dick waved his fists in the locker room and told the players that Atletico Madrid had doubled Real Madrid in the league this season. However, in those two games, Real Madrid was missing Roberto Carlos and Figo in the first game, and in the second game, Real Madrid was missing Roberto Carlos and Figo.
In each game, they were eager to attack and win Atletico Madrid, so that they were defeated by Atletico Madrid with a counterattack when they took the risk to attack. Strictly speaking, the victory of those two games was more determined off the court, and now, Real Madrid
In terms of off-site factors, there is no loss.
"This may be the strongest Real Madrid we have ever encountered... However, we should not have any fear, because we are also very strong. Control the midfield and compare with their offensive efficiency! Not as good as Morientes, better than Guti
Although it is a great way to strengthen midfield control, it also reduces their scoring ability in the penalty area. The central defender can boldly go up and don't give them too many opportunities! If we can control the midfield, then as long as we continue to
If you attack, you will definitely get enough goals!"
Amidst the deafening cheers of the fans, the players from both sides came out. The commentator tried his best to keep his voice from being drowned in the shouts: "The players from both sides came out! The two teams in Madrid in this game
Invariably, they sent out a 4-5-1 formation. Atletico Madrid started with goalkeeper Molina, defenders Hector, Capdevila, Thuram and Stam. In the midfield, Makelele, Barca
Raha, Belleron, Vicente and Camoranesi formed the midfield, and Jader advanced forward alone on the striker! The seven substitutes were goalkeeper Mora, defenders Marchena, Aguilera, and David
, midfielder Jorgensen, forwards Cruz and Jardel. Real Madrid goalkeeper is Casillas, defenders Salgado, Roberto Carlos, Hierro and Pavin, midfielders Helguera and Cambiasso
Partnering as a defensive midfielder, in front of him are Zidane, Guti and Figo, and Raul is forward alone! On the bench are goalkeeper Cesar, defender Karanka, Raul Bravo, and midfielder Conce
Cao, Solari and McManaman, forward Morientes. Both sides have brought out all their best players! What will be the final result of this game? Let us wait and see!"
When Dick appeared on the sidelines, huge cheers resounded from the stands again. Atletico Madrid fans unreservedly expressed their love for Dick, while Real Madrid fans basically curled their lips.
Those who were very qualified did not boo Dick at this time. However, no matter what, Real Madrid fans did not have much favorable impression of Dick.
Dick waved to the stands casually, and then there was a louder cheer. This cheer made Dick feel a little elated - this is the kind of welcome the Emperor Superstar received when he appeared on the stage.
Alright.
Feeling the love the fans have for him, this kind of championship makes Dick feel good.
"The game is about to begin... Whether Atletico Madrid's midfielder can gain a leading advantage over Real Madrid in terms of control will be a key factor in whether Atletico Madrid can win this game... Okay, now the game begins
Got it!"
Real Madrid took the first kick and began to put pressure on Atletico Madrid's defense.
Under the leadership of Zidane, Real Madrid began to continuously create opportunities through midfield attacks. He, Figo and Guti are all players with excellent offensive awareness. After constant passing back and forth, they found an opportunity.
, Zidane passed the ball, and Carlos followed up and hit the ball with a long shot. The ball slightly missed the baseline.
After Real Madrid's attack, Atletico Madrid quickly began to counterattack.
After passing the ball back and forth through the midfield, Belleron accurately sent the ball to Jardel's feet. Jardel turned around after receiving the ball, and then kicked off a powerful shot from 20 meters away from the goal!
Casillas also made a wonderful save, flying down and keeping the ball firmly under him.
"In the first five minutes, both sides had an attack each! Carlos' shot was just a hair away from the goal, while Jardel's shot made Casillas make a wonderful save! The rhythm of the game was going well.
soon!"
However, after these two fast-paced attacks, the two sides quickly started a fierce battle in the midfield. Real Madrid was slightly worse in running ability and confrontation ability, but Atletico Madrid was worse in the midfield.
Technical content - Although compared with any other team, Atletico Madrid's midfielder's technical ability is not bad, or even excellent, but compared with Real Madrid's midfielder with Zidane, Figo and Guti, in
Technically, it seems a little rough.
However, Atletico Madrid's midfielders have their own characteristics, and they also have some advantages in defense. In such a confrontation, they did not suffer any losses.
Another advantage of Atletico Madrid is that they can play slower, but they can also play faster. Real Madrid cannot play faster. After a period of struggle, Atletico Madrid began to create more goals than Real Madrid.
Lots of opportunities!
Vicente and Camoranesi began to attack frequently on the wing. They no longer struggled too much with Real Madrid in the midfield. Instead, they quickly passed the ball upfield and started to attack. This kind of attack may be successful.
The rate is not particularly high, but it can suppress the opponent to a great extent, and then continuously create opportunities.
In the eighth minute, Camoranesi's shot from the front of the penalty area was high.
In the tenth minute, Baraja's shot from outside the penalty area was blocked by Cambiasso with his body, but the ball fell to Jardel's feet. After Jardel took the ball, he beautifully dunked past Helguera, who was defending, and then
Taking a shot in the penalty area, Casillas made a wonderful save, fell to the ground and stretched his feet to block the ball that was about to fly into the goal!
There was a sigh in the stands. Atletico Madrid fans were sighing for missing this excellent opportunity. However, they immediately encouraged the players with applause and looked forward to scoring again in the next attack!
Dick nodded slightly on the sidelines. Although this style of not entangled with the opponent too much in the midfield, but creating opportunities through quick passes seemed slightly inefficient, it was able to perform very well now.
Atletico Madrid's strength is that they can be fast! However, when Real Madrid is not fast as a whole, they can only continue to attack through passing the ball. In this way, Atletico Madrid can continue to put pressure on Real Madrid.
Although Real Madrid has done quite well in defense so far, Hierro seems to be five years younger and Pavin has grown up overnight. However, Hierro is getting older after all, and Pavin doesn't know what
It will become a time bomb. As long as the pressure on Real Madrid continues, it is only a matter of time before Atletico Madrid scores a goal!
Thinking of this, Dick stood up and made a gesture to the field.
Just follow the attack just now... until you score a goal!
When he saw this action, Bosque frowned. If the fight continues like this, it will be very detrimental to Real Madrid, because both sides have almost the same number of attacks, but Atletico Madrid can quickly hit Real Madrid's defense zone.
Inside, and Real Madrid are constantly being blocked in the midfield - what should we do?
