Chapter 50 What Are You Thankful For?

During the intermission, when the commentators and guests of various TV stations summed up the performance of both sides in the first half, they all believed that although Real Madrid conceded the ball, they had the upper hand, and almost, it can be said that they beat Atletico Madrid. Some experts suggested that Real Madrid players should pay attention to the efficiency of grasping opportunities, so that Real Madrid is likely to blow Atletico Madrid in the second half.

"...It is difficult to contain Real Madrid, because today Cristiano is in good form, he was very active in the first half, basically all of Real Madrid's threatening attacks were caused by him... If Atletico Madrid wants to reverse it In this passive situation, we have to strengthen our defense against Cristiano..."

Others talked about Gao Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo. Although not many people know that Gao Zheng challenged Ronaldo, everyone will still compare the two of them.

"... Gao and Cristiano Ronaldo both scored a goal in the first half, but in terms of activity, the Portuguese were better than the Chinese. Beyond that goal, the first half basically disappeared ..." The guest on the TV station discussed, but his remarks were refuted by another guest.

"No, he fouled one more time, and that was also taken care of by the close-up of the broadcast!" The guest said solemnly.

This remark caused everyone to burst into laughter, and at the end the serious guest couldn't hold back, and then laughed: "Well, it's no different from disappearing..."

"High, Simeone said you did a good job. He hopes you can continue to be patient in the second half." In the visiting team's locker room, assistant coach Boggs was talking to the players with a mobile phone. The message he sent was about the arrangements for the second half of the game.

"It's not just high, everyone must be patient. Our tactics in this game are defensive counterattacks. Even if the score is equalized, it is a defensive counterattack. Because this is Real Madrid's home court, they are eager to win, not Us. So even if it's 1:1, we won't be the ones who are in a hurry..."

"As long as we can guarantee not to concede the ball, the game will still be played. Therefore, in the second half, we must defend with all our strength and strive not to concede the ball. As long as we do not concede the ball, we can damage the morale of the opponent. Gabi and Thiago, you must pay attention to protection The area in front of the defender, as for the two sides with Koke and Garcia. Griezmann, you have to work harder, connect more..."

He arranged tactics one by one according to the instructions left by Simeone.

At the same time in the home team locker room, Ancelotti is also arranging the team's tactics for the second half.

He just praised Cristiano Ronaldo's performance, and reiterated the strategy of continuing to attack with Ronaldo as the core in the second half.

Ask the rest of the team to cooperate with Ronaldo.

At the end of the intermission, when everyone was about to go out, Ronaldo was the first to jump up from his seat. He slapped his hands vigorously and encouraged his teammates loudly: "Come on, guys! This is our home stadium, we should be afraid." It's Atlético Madrid! We can definitely beat them here!"

"Chris is right, we can definitely beat them!" Captain Casillas expressed his support for Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Let us avenge our hatred and settle the Spanish Super Cup here with them!" Sergio Ramos also echoed loudly.

Other Real Madrid players came forward to express their confidence with roars.

Ancelotti saw this scene with a relieved smile on his face.

Morale is available.

At the start of the second half, neither side made substitutions, and the lineup from the first half was retained.

And Real Madrid also continued their performance in the first half, Ronaldo is still the most active person, Atletico Madrid have to send more players to defend Cristiano Ronaldo, but even so, it is difficult for them to defend Not only that, but also caused a shortage of defensive troops in other places.

Only two minutes into the second half, in the 47th minute, Ronaldo sent a pass, James Rodriguez received the ball 25 meters from the goal, and then took a shot, but his shot was high Out of the crossbar.

"James once again wasted the opportunity created by Ronaldo. He got several opportunities in this game, but he didn't grasp any of them... To be honest, this midfield star bought from Monaco for 75 million, It is very disappointing. Gao spent the same money and contributed at least two league goals..." GOLTV commentator Ray Hudson criticized mercilessly. He is famous for praising players in various ways, but he is also a very strict commentator. If the player does not perform well, he will not save face when commenting.

In the 51st minute, Arbeloa passed the ball and Pepe missed a long shot.

Even the central defenders pressed up and took long shots, which shows what the current situation of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is like.

In the face of Real Madrid's offense, Atletico Madrid can only shrink the defense across the board.

Gabi then received a yellow card for fouling an active Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Ronaldo really put a lot of pressure on Atletico Madrid's defense. Gabi got a yellow card on him. I think if the game goes on like this, Atletico Madrid will probably have more defenders on him. This is not the case. It's a good thing..." Atletico Madrid fans who heard Jose Maria's words were worried.

Originally, they took the lead just ten minutes into the game. This should be a good start. After Gao Zheng scored a goal, all they could think about was how Atletico Madrid would go all out to kill the suspense of the game in the away game.

Unexpectedly, since then, Atletico Madrid has not gotten any decent opportunities, basically all of them are Real Madrid's offenses. Even if Atletico Madrid occasionally has some offensive opportunities, it is difficult to threaten Real Madrid's goal.

In the Spanish Super Cup, they once defeated Real Madrid, drew their opponents 1:1 at home, and returned home to defeat each other. In addition, in the league last season, Atletico Madrid completed a double play against Real Madrid. Every Atlético Madrid fan takes it for granted that their team is finally capable of unseating Real Madrid from its position as the boss of Madrid.

Therefore, the first Madrid city derby in the league in the new season has given Atletico Madrid fans high hopes.

Everyone hopes that their team can beat Real Madrid again in the away game, although Atletico Madrid has never done this before...

But now it seems that this is probably the real strength of Real Madrid at home. Even if they concede a goal first, they can still quickly stabilize their position, equalize the score, and continue to threaten Atletico Madrid's goal.

Seeing that Gabi was appealing for his yellow card, Gao Zheng shook his head slightly.

This is not his first Madrid derby. He has participated in three Madrid derbys intensively recently, but this game impressed him.

This is the power of the new Champions League champion...

He set his sights on Cristiano Ronaldo who had risen from the ground. In terms of performance, he is indeed much more active than himself.

But Gao Zheng didn't feel depressed or sad at all.

Even he is what he wants to see.

Otherwise why would he come to Spain from Italy specifically?

Isn't it just to be on such a stage and face such a powerful enemy?

very nice!

Thinking of this, Gao Zheng couldn't help laughing.

When Sergio Ramos was besieging Atletico Madrid with his teammates, his attention was all on Gao Zheng.

Ever since he was humiliated by Gao Zheng in the Spanish Super Cup, he vowed never to let Gao Zheng score.

As a result, Gao Zheng scored a goal just ten minutes into the game, and it was still under his nose.

This made Ramos furious, so he and Gao Zheng fought in this game. In the previous game, Atletico Madrid had some counterattacks, but when it came to Gao Zheng, Ramos took advantage of his physical strength to destroy them.

Gao Zheng did not take advantage of Ramos, which is also one of the main reasons why Atletico Madrid can only be beaten passively.

Ramos, who kept his eyes on Gao Zheng, noticed that Gao Zheng was smiling!

He was laughing when his team was being rubbed against the ground!

Ramos stared at Gao Zheng with wide-eyed eyes, feeling that this kid was out of his mind, how could he still laugh?

Standing beside Gao Zheng, he asked in astonishment: "What are you laughing at?!"

Hearing his question, Gao Zheng turned to look at him, still smiling, and said to him, "Thank you."

Thank you for being so strong and making my victory even more worthwhile.

Ramos still understood the "thank you" in Spanish, but he didn't understand why Gao Zheng wanted to thank him at all.

Thank you for what?

We are pressing you to fight!

You kid is actually our undercover agent, right? You joined Atletico Madrid to help us win, right?

Ramos was thinking wildly for a while, he really couldn't keep up with the thinking of this Chinese kid.

Is this a cultural difference?
