1107 If you have money, you can be capricious!
At exactly 22:00 pm on September 28, the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.
In the seventh round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Atletico Madrid at home.
This is the third game of the two teams this season. The first two games are the Spanish Super Cup, and Real Madrid won one draw and remained unbeaten, and won the Super Cup championship, and now it is the third game.
The two teams started with six consecutive victories and played side by side, which is extremely rare in the history of La Liga. This also attracted the attention of the entire city. Not only is the Bernabeu stadium full, but there are also fans of the two teams with a large number of people gathered outside the stadium.
It can be said that Madrid will be crowded tonight.
Ancelotti rarely returned to the double midfielder tactic in this game. The goalkeeper was Casillas, the defense was Marcelo, Fermallen, Ramos and Carvajal, and the double midfielder was Mascherano and Modric. Xavi Alonso has not recovered yet.
The first three midfielders are Hazard, Isco and Di Maria, and the single striker is Yang Yang.
Real Madrid's lineup was rotated, but it was not surprising.
Compared with Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid is strong and has strong strength, especially the bench is very thick.
The bedsheets are unstoppable 442, the goalkeeper is Courtois, the defense is Felipe, Godin, Miranda and Juan Fran, the midfield is lined up with Turan, Gabi, Mario Suarez and Cork, and the forward is a double forward combination of Villa and Diego Costa.
Simeone's team has not changed much. In the past, this style was adopted in the two Super Cup games. Now he has re-used the same trick, but Raul Garcia, who performed well this season, sat on the bench.
Whenever the team wants to strengthen the midfield, especially when the attack is later, Raul Garcia will play, so he scores a lot of goals, which is a big scoring point for Atletico Madrid this season after Diego Costa.
But facing Real Madrid, Simeone obviously dared not be entrusted.
...
The game started with a Real Madrid attack.
When the ball advanced to the front of Atletico Madrid's penalty area, Isco and Di Maria cooperated on the right side. Both of them shot continuously on the right side of the penalty area, but were either blocked by the defender or blocked by the goalkeeper, which failed to pose a threat.
Atletico Madrid didn't get a chance until the eleventh minute. After stealing the ball from Di Maria, Cork passed directly, and Diego Costa threw Ramos away. When he was about to form a single shot, Fermuren rushed out of the diagonal stab, and one fell to the ground to put Diego Costa in the penalty area with the ball.
Although Diego Costa fell in the penalty area, the referee still accurately awarded the corner kick instead of a foul.
Fermulen's shovel was bold, but it was also very dangerous. However, considering that Diego Costa was close to kicking his feet at that time, it would be quite dangerous if Fermulen didn't kick his feet again.
Afterwards, the game was still under Real Madrid's control.
In this game, Real Madrid adopted a double midfielder style, as if they were back in the past, and only turned Xavi Alonso into Modric, but there was a very obvious difference, that is, Hazard, Isco and Di Maria in front both got more opportunities to get the ball, and they both dared to try to break through the ball.
Simeone has been standing on the sidelines since the beginning and quickly saw the clues.
...
"They want a free kick!" Simeone said gritting her teeth.
"Free kick?" Assistant Boggs frowned.
In the past few years, all teams facing Real Madrid have known that they should minimize fouls within the 30-meter area, especially at the front of the penalty area, because Real Madrid has an extremely BT guy who can play free kicks as a penalty kick.
"I've just reminded them again and again in the locker room," Boggs said.
Simeone shook her head, "It's useless, they will keep creating opportunities."
Just now, he was wondering whether Hazard, Isco, Di Maria, and even Yang Yang had too many opportunities to get and dribble the ball? Didn’t they all take the initiative to seek cooperation in the past?
But gradually, he understood that Ancelotti did it on purpose.
The players' personal abilities are used to create fouls at Atletico Madrid. As long as it is a foul in the frontcourt, especially in the area outside the penalty area, it is an excellent goal opportunity for Real Madrid, which has Yang Yang, a free kick master.
"Then let the players push out some quickly, it's best to press and press and press near the center line." Boggs suggested nervously.
As opponents, they know the horror of Yang Yang's free kicks better than anyone else, so they are naturally extremely afraid of it.
Simeone smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Once we pressed forward, it would be difficult for us to maintain a meticulous defensive formation. Moreover, Yang Yang's starting speed is too fast and his explosive power is very strong. It is difficult for Godin and Miranda to stop him. If our defense is pressed out, they will immediately adopt the strategy of hitting behind him and let Yang Yang rush."
"Then reduce fouls..." Boggs immediately realized the problem again.
This summer, too many people have paid attention to Barcelona, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Sanchez, but many people have overlooked one thing, that is, Real Madrid's players are not only not bad, but are not even inferior to Barcelona at all.
Needless to say, Yang Yang, Robben and Di Maria have all proved themselves. Hazard also proved his strength last season, and after the defeat of the Champions League last season, he has obviously gone further this season.
There is also Isco, who has played incredible form since joining Real Madrid and even suppressed David Silva. It can be seen how amazing his condition is. More importantly, like Hazard, he is extremely good at dribbling through the ball.
It can be imagined that if Atletico Madrid's defensive players are afraid of fouls, they will definitely be restrained. Can they still stop these offensive players from Real Madrid?
Don’t forget that there is Yang Yang in front, Di Maria on the right, Modric in the middle, Marcelo and Carvajal in the wings...
Suddenly, Simeone wanted to cry.
He felt the plan from Ancelotti, the open plan!
"Damn it, you can be willful if you have money!" Simeone cursed angrily.
If other teams can get one for players like Hazard and Isco, it will be a big deal. Only super giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona can be so luxurious.
But what's even more terrifying is that Real Madrid has Yang Yang.
This is an amazing attacker, with almost no flaws in all aspects. More importantly, he has an amazing free kick attainment.
Yang Yang is like a sword of Damocles hanging above Atletico Madrid's head, which can be cut down at any time.
This feeling is so uncomfortable!
This is not OK, nor that is OK. Boggs is a little unsatisfied and anxious.
At this moment, when the game reached the 23rd minute, Hazard dribbled the ball from the left and threw Juan Fran away. When cutting in horizontally, he was tripped to the ground by Mario Suarez who was rushing over.
The referee's whistle suddenly sounded, a foul, a free kick!
In an instant, Simeone couldn't bear to look directly and patted her forehead hard, then turned around and walked back.
The fans at the Bernabeu Stadium cheered wildly as if they saw hope.
…………
…………
Courtois stood in front of the gate line, lowered his head, looked at the grass, and tried to calm down his mood.
He is about to face Yang Yang directly, the most terrifying attacker in the world.
Yang Yang not only has the highest scoring ability, but his free kick accomplishments are also recognized as the world's number one.
But Courtois quickly raised his head and breathed deeply.
He was confident of saving Yang Yang's free kick.
Commanding the defense of the man wall, Courtois kept observing the surrounding situation.
This is a direct free kick opportunity to go to the left of the penalty area arc. The distance is about twenty meters. The position itself is very good. Yang Yang's direct free kick skills are not to be said. Courtois needs to use the help of a man wall to make up for some shortcomings.
He knew very well that he was not going to the ground at a fast speed. After all, he was nearly two meters tall and extremely burly. He was known as the best height template for goalkeepers. Moreover, his physical fitness was very good, which gave him a very good control range, but it would definitely bring some disadvantages, such as his fall and save speed was not fast enough.
He needed a wall of people to block the corner of him to prevent Yang Yang from hitting the door directly.
After arranging the wall, Courtois carefully observed it again and finally confirmed that there was no problem. He signaled his teammates to be fine, and he was standing slightly to the left in the middle.
He was sure that if Yang Yang hit the far corner, he would be able to save.
The premise is that it cannot be a blind spot.
The reason why the dead corner is called a dead corner is because it cannot be blocked at all.
But for most players, it is very difficult to buy lottery tickets and try their luck.
Courtois bent slightly and looked directly at Yang Yang opposite the human wall.
I saw that Yang Yang had already set the ball, and he slowly stepped back three steps, and after standing still, he was also adjusting his emotions.
After the referee set up the penalty area, he quickly withdrew and blew his whistle to indicate that he could take the penalty.
Hearing the whistle, everyone in the audience, including the more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans in the stands, all focused on Yang Yang's every move on the court, and the live TV cameras were all aimed at Yang Yang.
They simply wished they could see everything that happened to Yang Yang in detail.
Only Yang Yang was able to run quickly forward, and he stepped on familiar steps to the front of the ball. After standing still with his left foot, his body tilted, and his right foot quickly kicked out, hitting the static ball directly.
Everyone at the scene heard a muffled bang, and saw the ball flying out quickly, climbing at an extremely fast speed that could not be seen clearly by the naked eye. It crossed the high-leading wall and quickly landed to the right side of the goal.
Courtois quickly made a judgment and quickly moved to the right, judging the falling trend of the ball.
High!
The Belgian goalkeeper made a judgment immediately. He realized that the ball was a bit high in order to bypass the human wall.
If he judged that there was no problem, the ball should have flew out against the crossbar.
But the scene that followed shocked him.
Chapter completed!
