Prominence in Football Community

After Danilo came on, the game resumed.

As the commentators analyzed, Atletico Madrid really used Danilo's side as a breakthrough for their offense.

Gao Zheng and Kok kept switching positions to assist Carrasco to attack Danilo's defense in turn.

Gareth Bale had to drop back to defend, which gave him the illusion that he was back to his days playing full-back at Southampton, more defensive than attacking...

But he was playing left back, not right back!

Because Bell had to participate in the defense, the only few opportunities for Real Madrid to counterattack were given to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo created Real Madrid's most threatening counterattack opportunity since the start of the second half in the 81st minute.

At that time, after receiving a diagonal pass from Modric on the wing, he took the ball and accelerated towards Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

Although there was Benzema in the middle to meet him at high speed, he still chose to hit the goal by himself after entering the penalty area.

In fact, at that time, he had already attracted the attention of almost all Atletico Madrid players. If he could pass the football, Benzema would basically face an empty goal, with Atletico Madrid's central defender Savage in front of him. It's all still on Cristiano Ronaldo.

But the Portuguese didn't do that. At that moment, perhaps he just wanted to compete with Gao Zheng. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. A top shooter still needs some confidence and arrogance...

So facing the attacking goalkeeper Oblak, he chose to shoot by himself!

"Ronaldo——!!"

During Jose Maria's chanting, the football shot by Cristiano Ronaldo was blocked by the attacking Oblak with his body!

"oops!"

Seeing this, many Real Madrid fans put their heads in their hands and sighed.

If this goal is scored, the situation will be reversed...

"Although the goal was not scored, it sounded the alarm for Atletico Madrid's defense. Don't look at them now that they have the advantage, but if they press the attack like this, the space behind the defense will be seized by the opponent sooner or later, whether it is Ronaldo or Bell, they are all speed players, and have a strong combat ability as a soldier..." Xu Yang analyzed, he was a little worried.

Real Madrid lost the ball, Carvajal was injured and Danilo was habitually unable to find his form... The current situation of Real Madrid looks so bad that it can't be worse. It seems to be a good opportunity for Atletico Madrid.

But if Atletico Madrid really thinks so and rushes forward to attack, he is worried that the back end behind Atletico Madrid will be seized and used by Real Madrid.

After all, Real Madrid used to be a very fast and sharp counterattack team. When they faced Ajax in the Champions League, they broke through Ajax in only 13 seconds.

From Ozil's counterattack with the ball to Ronaldo's goal at the end, it was all one touch.

If Atletico Madrid continues to play like this, Cristiano Ronaldo's shot just now will definitely not be Real Madrid's last chance in this game.

Simeone is also considering this issue.

After Danilo played before,

He wanted to take advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold to launch a fierce offensive, and completely open the breakthrough from here.

But now it seems that if you haven't scored a goal yet, it will be troublesome to let Real Madrid use their good counterattack to score the goal first.

So Simeone planned to let the team also slow down, shrink a bit, and prepare for overtime.

Now the game has entered 80 minutes, and the end of the 90-minute game is getting closer and closer.

It's hard to believe that the team could beat Real Madrid in the minutes remaining.

I have to worry that after the team advances aggressively, Real Madrid will kill them in turn.

The safe way is of course to shrink the defense and then play overtime.

Simeone has confidence in the team's physical fitness. He believes that even if the game is dragged into overtime, Atletico Madrid can still gain the upper hand by virtue of their physical advantages in the 30 minutes of overtime.

On the contrary, Real Madrid's physical strength is close to exhaustion, and it is also at the end of their strength in overtime, so they can only defend passively.

So Atletico Madrid's chances of winning in extra time are very high.

Thinking about it this way, there was absolutely no need to attack wildly in the last few minutes.

Simeone shared his thoughts with assistant coach Boggs, and Boggs fully agreed with his arrangement.

"The worst and worst result is nothing more than dragging the game into a penalty shootout. But we have specially conducted penalty kick training before the game, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Boggs said.

Although Atletico Madrid lost to Real Madrid in overtime two years ago, time has changed and the situation today is different from that then.

At that time, Atletico Madrid was dragged into overtime by Real Madrid at the end of the game. It was only one minute away from winning the cup for the first time in history. This huge psychological gap led to the team's overall collapse in overtime.

Now it is different, now Atletico Madrid consciously dragged the game into overtime.

The players are mentally prepared and physically stronger than their opponents, and there will be no situation in which the opponents will be dragged down in overtime.

So this arrangement is fine.

So Simeone was about to get up and go to the sidelines to tell the players to recover the formation properly and not let Real Madrid take advantage of their opportunity to attack.

The commentators from various countries in the commentary booth have also seen the current situation. There is a high probability that this game will go to overtime.

"Overtime is cruel for both teams, but it is not so cruel that it is completely unacceptable. Especially Atletico Madrid, they have more energy, and it shouldn't be a big deal to play an extra 30 minutes. But Real Madrid Madrid have to worry..." Jose Maria said.

"Actually, I hope that the game can end within 90 minutes. After all, it is very hard for everyone to stay up late to watch the game. But at present, I am afraid that playing overtime is more beneficial to Atletico Madrid..."

He Ping's statement was also recognized by Xu Yang: "Simeone is very smart and calm, and he didn't choose to advance aggressively just because the situation looked good. Ronaldo didn't have many opportunities to perform in this game, but he was in a good state .The goal in the first half was because Atletico Madrid ignored him when defending, and Atletico Madrid can't fall twice in the same pit anyway..."

The meeting room was brightly lit, and there were several rows of Red Bull and various instant coffees on everyone's tables, but no one moved.

Even though it looks like this, the game will last another 30 minutes, and I'm afraid it will be dawn by then. But no one is tired.

Everyone is in a state of excitement, which is more effective than functional drinks, coffee, or strong tea.

Even Director Yang Wenlong, the oldest among them, was staring at the TV screen in good spirits at this time, with the reflection of the screen reflected in his eyes, which did not look like an old man at all.

Not to mention overtime, even if it is going to reach a penalty shootout, they can keep guarding. Even if the game is over, I am afraid that few people can still sleep.

And it's not just a few people who are close to Gao Zheng who have performed like this. Countless Chinese fans all over China are the same.

This is a historical moment in Chinese football, and they are all waiting for a result.
