When the referee blew the whistle to start the second half, Real Madrid immediately launched a fierce attack at the kick-off.
However, facing Atletico Madrid's pressing and solid defense in the midfield, Real Madrid's offense still didn't seem to have much chance. Although they passed a few shots back and forth, they still could only complete the offense through long shots. Figo's
Although this long-range shot was powerful and had a good angle, Molina, who was focused, flew over and saved the ball.
Atletico Madrid continued to threaten Real Madrid's defense with fast attacks. Belleron passed the ball to Vicente. Vicente broke through and passed the ball across the ball. Camoranesi followed up and his long shot from the front of the penalty area missed the baseline.
Immediately after Atletico Madrid attacked again, Belleron passed the ball to Jardel. Seeing that the situation was not good, Pavin tripped Jardel. Atletico Madrid got a free kick. Belleron's free kick went over the wall.
But Casillas jumped out, and Salgado immediately made a big save.
Such a long ball clearance is obviously impossible to organize an offense. Real Madrid does not have a player who is good at heading the ball in the frontcourt. Stam rushed up to grab the ball in front of Raul and headed the ball back to Real Madrid's half. Makelele made the transition.
To Héctor, who was inserted on the right, Héctor quickly dribbled the ball forward, and then passed the ball to Belleron, who was retreating to receive the ball before Roberto Carlos came forward.
Belleron directly sent a transfer ball to the left. Vicente shot from the corner of the penalty area. The ball flew diagonally past the far post and then flew out of the baseline.
Dick shook his head slightly. If you want to fight fast, there is a problem, that is, you cannot attack well and carefully, so that the quality of the attack seems a bit rough.
"Real Madrid seems to have strengthened its defense inside the penalty area, but its defense outside the penalty area has begun to decline." Marriner suddenly said to Dick.
"That's it." Dick nodded: "Look at Helgra's position, he is almost becoming a central defender now... This is because Bosque is worried that our fast break will quickly hit the penalty area, and theirs will
None of the central defenders can suppress Jardel in a one-on-one situation. Taking the ball in the penalty area is tantamount to their death sentence, so they would rather give us more opportunities at the front of the penalty area than let us in the penalty area.
He took the ball easily and finished the shot.”
"Bosque is indeed very good. He can also come up with a solution in this situation, although it is a bit rough..." Marina sighed.
Dick smiled and continued what he said: "Although it is rough, there is no other way. It is already very good to be able to do this."
"But this kind of defense may not be able to last for too long. You must know that the gap at the front of the penalty area is too big and we can easily score goals. We have a lot of sluggers." Marina thought for a while and said.
"He is betting that his superstar can equalize the score before we expand our lead... This is also the only way I can think of to win in his position." Dick smiled slightly.
, the words were full of sympathy for Bosque.
Looking at Dick's smile, Marriner suddenly realized why he couldn't compare to a head coach of Dick's level - he usually seemed arrogant, but he had a clear understanding of his own abilities and those of his opponents.
The arrogance, rudeness, or ignorance he shows to the outside world is just an appearance. Perhaps only the people around him and opponents who are familiar with him can truly understand him.
During the conversation, Atletico Madrid completed another shot from the front of the penalty area. Belleron's shot from the front of the penalty area was confiscated by Casillas - Atletico Madrid did have a lot of opportunities in the penalty area during this period.
But Casillas' performance was quite solid.
After this attack, Atletico players were a little slow in returning to defense. After all, Real Madrid had been attacking slowly before, which paralyzed them to a great extent.
When Casillas got up, he saw the situation in the frontcourt. He suddenly ran two steps forward, and then quickly threw the ball directly to Carlos on the left.
Carlos' taking the ball made Atletico Madrid players feel a sense of danger, but Carlos did not choose to pass the ball forward or break through by himself. Instead, he passed the ball across to Guti, who was connecting in the middle. This action made
Atletico Madrid players began to prepare for a gradual retreat - because this did not look like a fast break.
But when the ball flew to Guti's feet, Real Madrid's offensive rhythm began to suddenly speed up!
To say that Real Madrid cannot play fast breaks is relative, but it is still possible to launch one or two fast breaks occasionally, because the ball always flies faster than people. If they can complete the pass well, even if they
Even if there are no fast players in the frontcourt, he can still play exciting fast breaks!
After receiving the ball, Guti immediately took the ball forward a few steps. After attracting the attention of Makelele and Baraja, he raised his foot and distributed the ball to Figo who inserted on the right. Figo
Quickly dribbling the ball forward and using constant control of the ball, Capdevila could only gradually retreat. However, Figo did not choose to continue to break through, but passed the ball to Raul who was retreating.
Raul caught the ball and turned around, quickly raised his foot in the center circle and moved the ball to the left!
From there, the one who plugged in was Zidane with a shining bald head!
Zidane is not known for his speed, but unlike other technical attacking midfielders, he has a strong body and excellent scoring ability. Such a forward thrust can be said to be as fast as lightning!
Hector was thrown away by Zidane almost instantly. Then Zidane, who was advancing forward, unloaded the ball with a movement without any pyrotechnics. The ball he unloaded was slanted along the direction of his running.
It rolled over diagonally. This action had almost no impact on Zidane's forward speed!
Dribbling! Straight line! Push forward!
Zidane's speed with the ball didn't seem to be very fast. However, Thuram, who was pressing from the side, began to retreat at the first incident, but when Zidane dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he still couldn't find a way to Zidane.
Defend within!
After breaking into the penalty area, Zidane faced the attacking Molina. He quickly dunked the ball, adjusted his angle towards the goal, and then took off his right foot and shot directly into the far corner!
Although Molina stretched his hand as hard as he could and touched the ball with his fingertips, he still couldn't stop the ball from flying into the goal!
When Zidane used an elegant move to hoist the ball into the blind spot of Atletico Madrid's goal, the 48,000 Atletico Madrid fans in the entire Calderon Stadium became silent, while the 3,000 Real Madrid fans let out a huge surprise.
The shouts!
One to one tie! Ten minutes after the start of the second half and fifty-fifth minute of the game, Real Madrid, like the first half, was passive and at a disadvantage offensively, relying on a beautiful counterattack and the battle between several stars.
With their tacit cooperation, they evened the score with a counterattack that was as smooth as clouds and flowing water!
"This is the role of a fucking superstar! I fucking hate this. Unexpected events outside of my control are so helpless..."
The moment Dick saw the ball flying into the goal, he spread his hands helplessly, then turned around and walked towards his seat. It was not until he sat down that Dick covered his mouth with his palms and said to
Marina said something.
Marriner smiled bitterly, and he also felt helpless - he knew that Dick must be very, very, very unhappy at this time. He had no choice but to calculate all the game situations and be able to make the general trend of the game according to his own assumptions and manipulations.
Moving forward, there are always superstars like that who use outstanding personal performances to break this trend! With this sense of powerlessness, it is no wonder that Dick, the head coach who always hopes to have everything under control, feels very unhappy.
It's just that there is no use being upset. There is always no shortage of such superstars in this world. Even in the later generations that Dick knew, the gap between stars and ordinary players has narrowed to a very small difference, but there is still Messi.
For players with incredible personal abilities such as Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, it is not that easy for the head coach to control everything.
When Zidane and his teammates began to celebrate, Dick curled his lips, then stood up and made a calm gesture to the court.
"This is just an accident. It's not a problem with our tactics. Let's keep playing like this. Now is the second half. The players' physical fitness is declining. Real Madrid's defense will not be as flawless as before. We just need to continue to use the same offense.
, then the goal will definitely come!" Dick pulled Belleron over and said these words to him.
Belleron nodded. He used to be called Zidane of Spain, and he has gradually reached his peak in recent years. Now that Zidane has scored, he will naturally be a little unconvinced.
Now Dick's tactical arrangement is just in line with his appetite.
Playing fast break means that he does not need to organize too much in the back, and he can also have more opportunities to attack forward, and naturally there are many opportunities to score - hasn't Real Madrid strengthened the defense at the front of the penalty area? I'm here
He also has excellent scoring ability outside the penalty area!
Quickly informing the other players of Dick's instructions, Belleron stood in the center circle, waiting for the kick-off to start the attack.
Real Madrid's celebration lasted for a while - no wonder they lost their composure. After Dick coached Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid not only never defeated Real Madrid in the league, but even equalized the score or took the lead rarely.
The situation is over! Now that they can equalize the score in the away game, this is undoubtedly a victory for them!
Atletico Madrid launched its attack quietly.
Belleron quickly distributed the ball to the left, and Vicente began to break through at high speed along the wing. He used his speed to get rid of Salgado, and then raised his foot to pass the ball into the penalty area. Under the influence of Jardel,
Camoranesi, who came in from behind, beat Carlos seven meters in front of the goal and hit the goal with his head, and the ball flew out of the baseline!
Camoranesi scratched his head quite regretfully. He had two good opportunities today, but missed them both - his footwork seemed to be not going well today.
Like him, Guti also had bad feet. Two minutes later, he received a pass from Carlos from the left and then pushed the ball in the penalty area, but pushed the ball out of the baseline.
Belleron glanced at Molina, and after saying something to Baraja, he started running forward instead of staying in the backcourt to respond.
"Is Belleron planning to attack forward? This is a good choice. Although he has not scored many goals in the past two years, his scoring ability in forward attack has not declined. It seems that Atletico Madrid still needs to strengthen its offense. This
It's understandable, after all, it's their home court, and getting a draw with a goal lost would be quite detrimental to Atletico Madrid..." the commentator said.
