When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, Dick stood up first.
He did not go directly to the players' tunnel, but stood on the sidelines. When every Atletico Madrid player passed by him, he would pat the opponent's back until the last Atletico Madrid player also left.
At the stadium, he turned around and walked calmly towards the players' tunnel.
"Dick didn't seem to be anxious, nor did he get angry or anything... In fact, I feel that many people misunderstood Dick. Although he often talked about hot topics at press conferences, we really rarely
When I saw him lose his temper on the sidelines, the worst one was when he was suspended for three games in the Champions League. At other times, he was usually calm and never let his excessive emotions show.
As a young man in his twenties, it is actually not easy to do this."
Bones continued to say good things to Dick. As a big fan of Dick, although he also preferred Real Madrid, he still supported Dick and Atletico Madrid in this game, even though he was a national TV commentator.
He tried his best to keep his identity as public and fair as possible, but fans who listened to his commentary could hear his love for Dick.
After entering the locker room, Dick closed the door smoothly, then walked to his seat and looked at the players.
"Don't worry, guys, there's nothing to be anxious about. Maybe we will be eliminated if this score remains until the end, but isn't there still a second half of the game? Since the venue is slippery, we can't use our usual tactics, so
Let's make it simple. Julio, you come on in the second half and replace Ruben. Real Madrid has a diamond midfield, a four-man midfield. I think we only need a four-man midfield to compete with them. That's it.
In this way, it’s not like we don’t know how to use the diamond midfielder! Play faster! Continue to create pressure on their defense. Even if Hergra strengthens their air defense capabilities in the penalty area, our offensive capabilities are still very good. You have to
What we do is to abandon all complicated thoughts and use offense to kill them again and again. Do you understand? Attack! To be honest, I was not very satisfied with your offense in the first half, because in this case it was obviously our turn.
Can be more dominant because we can also play very fast! We should be more adaptable to this style of play! Let us show this in the second half! Don't take any chances! I have said this before
We have to rely on offense to advance in the game, not defense, have you forgotten this on the court?"
Dick, who was pleasant at first, became stern later on, and the Atletico Madrid players all shut up. Before going on the field, Dick did say that this game would use offense to defeat the opponent. However, when it came to the court, due to venue factors,
They began to slow down their offensive pace, but Real Madrid took the lead with an opportunity that was not a chance.
"Of course, I also made mistakes. I didn't take into account the impact of the field factors, which was one of the main factors why we fell behind in the first half. But such mistakes are not irreparable. In the second half, just focus on the offense. Don't forget, the offense is
Our foundation! Defense is of course very important, but we can't not attack. If we don't attack, we can't score goals. Now is the time to attack... Let's go!"
*********************************************
"Players from both sides came out! Atletico Madrid took the lead in making a substitution. Cruz came on and replaced Baraja. A center forward replaced a midfielder. Atletico Madrid wanted to launch a strong attack! Del Bosque did not make a substitution.
, it seems that he is very satisfied with the team’s offense in the first half.”
Bosque sat in his seat, his expression unchanged. Of course he knew that Atletico Madrid wanted to strengthen the offense, but he did not strengthen the defense, because the defense may not be able to hold it. It is better to continue to strengthen the offense and score one or two more goals.
A goal. In this game, Real Madrid's frontcourt superstars were all in good condition. There were not many chances in the first half because Atletico Madrid focused more on defense. Now that Baraja has gone, Atletico Madrid's defense has weakened.
It's true that Real Madrid doesn't have more offensive opportunities.
If you want to score a goal, let’s score a goal! Real Madrid’s pride does not allow them to use defense to maintain their current victory, not to mention that the defense may not be able to defend it!
Then attack, in the last 45 minutes of the four Madrid derbies this season, use offense to decide who is the final winner of the Champions League!
You know, although Atletico Madrid still has a considerable advantage in the league, if they lose the Champions League game, Atletico Madrid, whose morale has been severely hit, may collapse in the league. For Real Madrid,
Letting Valencia win a league title is no big deal, but if Atletico Madrid defends the league title, maybe they will rise up!
Attack! Use offense to decide everything!
It is precisely because of this idea that the rhythm of the offensive and defensive transitions at the beginning of the second half became very, very fast!
After passing the ball back and forth in the midfield, with Raul's involvement, Zidane sent a wonderful through ball. Morientes, who intervened in time, seized a gap in Atletico Madrid's defense and received the ball.
Form a single sword!
Thuram quickly returned to defense and followed Morientes' adjusted route. Morientes had no other choice. He decisively shot from a relatively small angle and the ball flew straight to the dead center of the goal.
!
Molina fell to the ground hard, and then his outstretched leg blocked the flight path of the ball. The ball hit his foot and bounced to the other side of the penalty area. Then Solari intercepted the ball on the left side.
Ector volleyed before flying over!
The ball flew towards the empty goal. When Real Madrid fans were about to cheer, Stam returned to defend in time. While retreating while observing the flight path of the ball, he used a very awkward posture to header the ball from the goal.
I pushed it out online!
Atletico Madrid escaped!
"Oh! What a pity! Real Madrid almost took the lead in the total score! But Atletico Madrid's defensive players stopped Real Madrid's crazy attack one after another! If this goal had been scored, Real Madrid would have won 3 to 2.
The total score is exceeded, which is a pity..."
Amid the sighs of the commentator, Atletico Madrid's players were not affected by the opponent's attack, but quietly launched a counterattack!
Makelele passed the ball to Camoranesi who retreated to take the ball. Camoranesi directly passed the ball to Beleron in the middle. Beleron quickly passed to Vicente's feet.
Te began to dribble the ball forward, and Real Madrid's players also began to quickly defend. Seeing that there was no chance, Vicente stopped and turned around, and then passed the ball back to Belleron.
Belleron controlled the ball in the middle and seemed to be planning to stabilize it. However, the next moment, he quickly passed the ball to Camoranesi who was on the right. Camoranesi took the ball forward and took a step forward.
Then suddenly he took a long shot!
The ball flew into the penalty area. While Real Madrid's defenders were waiting, Cruz suddenly appeared in the direction of the ball and raised his foot to rub the ball...
The ball was originally flying towards the back point, but after being touched by Cruz, it immediately changed direction and flew towards the front point goal!
Casillas had already reacted. When he saw the ball change line, he immediately stabilized his center of gravity, and then rushed towards the front point of the ball. At the same time, Helgra also rushed over, intending to pass the ball
Cut off.
Seeing that the ball was about to fly into the goal, Helguera struggled to lift his foot and he touched the ball. However, with this touch, the ball changed its direction again and flew towards the center of the goal. Casillas, who had already completely rushed over, again
Unable to react in this situation, he just looked back helplessly and saw the ball flying into Real Madrid's gate at a slow speed...
"Oh oh oh oh! The ball... the ball went in! Helguera scored an own goal! If he didn't touch it, Casillas might have saved the ball, but it's a pity... But it didn't happen.
It’s a matter of method! Cruz’s touch of the ball in the penalty area was so fatal that it caught Real Madrid’s defense off guard! Atletico Madrid unexpectedly equalized the score! They had just escaped conceding a goal! This game
What a twists and turns! Now Atletico Madrid is beginning to take the advantage! They are leading in the total score, and there is no longer the disadvantage of not scoring in the away game! In the next game, even if they concede a goal, they will drag the game into
In overtime, if they can score one more, then Real Madrid will need to score three goals! Real Madrid is now facing a severe situation! Atletico Madrid has unlimited advantages!"
"Terrible Dick! In the first half when there was no advantage at all, his substitutions had an immediate effect! Although the goal was an own goal by Helguera, Cruz's astute goal
The cushion played a huge role! Such a substitution can play such a big role. Should I say that Dick is too lucky or that he does have a magical power... In any case, Atletico Madrid's advantage is now
It’s getting really big! They are only 40 minutes away from reaching the Champions League final for the first time in twenty-eight years!”
When Atletico Madrid players cheered and hugged each other, Dick stood up from the coaching bench calmly, then raised his right hand high, making his victory sign.
This gesture, which was once wildly booed by Atletico Madrid fans, at this time, only made them scream wildly and worship Dick endlessly!
They booed before because they didn't believe that this young man in his twenties could lead Atletico Madrid to victory, especially since he also exiled the prince Kiko in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans! But in the past two years,
During the time he came, Dick used a series of miraculous performances to let them gradually know that this young head coach was not arrogant, but had a real top level! He won the first title for Atletico Madrid in the history of the club.
A UEFA Cup championship has increased Atletico Madrid's number of Copa del Rey and league titles to double digits. Now, with one victory after another, Atletico Madrid is infinitely close to the Champions League final! Such a Dick
, how can we not make them like it, how can we not make them crazy!
"In the past two years or so, Dick has been a controversial figure. However, no matter how you feel about him, you have to admit that he is indeed an extremely top head coach! If we say that he has won two
The second championship is just luck, so being able to consistently lead a team to achieve good results is no longer luck!"
While Atletico Madrid fans were cheering crazily, Real Madrid fans looked at Dick, who raised his right hand with extreme hostility. It was after he took office that Atletico Madrid gradually reversed its disadvantage against Real Madrid and began to win more games.
