Chapter 565 The Boring First Half

"This is really a focus battle within the focus!"

The commentator Aduriz said, "Both teams are very cautious. The pace of the game started very slowly. I believe both sides want to score goals, but at the same time, they are also very afraid of the opponent's counterattack!"

"Perhaps this is the reason why there has been no name in the competition since ancient times."

Mateo shook his head aside, "To a certain extent, this game is also a La Liga final. The winner will have a high probability of winning the La Liga championship. To this extent, the caution of the two teams is justified!"

While the commentators were talking, the situation on the field didn't change much.

A few minutes ago, the sun was blocked by the black mountain peaks in the distance. It is still dark now, and the golden sunset glow in the distance is extremely gorgeous, but no one pays attention to the beautiful scenery.

Although the scene was lackluster, the fans' attention was still on the game.

For such a scene, if it was at the Bernabeu, perhaps the Real Madrid fans would have quit. The Bernabeu is the most exciting stadium to boo their team.

In the eyes of Real Madrid fans, they are nobles, and their team is also nobles.

Isn't the nobles supposed to play gorgeously, look good, play offensive football, and please the fans?

But this is not the Bernabeu. Although the Bernabeu is [-] kilometers away, it is very close, but this cannot be the Bernabeu after all.

Here is Calderon, the fans here do not have such great aristocratic sentiments.

For Atletico Madrid fans, what they care more about is not the scene, but whether they can win the championship!

Even if the importance of this game is not exaggerated by the media, Atletico Madrid fans are very clear. Everyone is a senior fan. Everyone is quite aware of the consequences of losing this game.

Therefore, even though Atlético Madrid slowly controlled the ball on the court, and immediately returned the pass when encountering a little obstacle, such behavior seemed a bit unprogressive, even a bit cowardly!
However, Atletico Madrid fans will not boo their team because of this. They know the current situation of the team and the importance of this game.

So they have been cheering on the court, cheering for the team.

Atlético slowly took control of the football, while Real Madrid's pressing was only harassing.

Several attackers in the frontcourt harassed Atletico Madrid's defense from time to time.

And Atletico Madrid is not completely without offense, they sometimes make a sudden transfer, and they don't hesitate when they have the opportunity!
In the 19th minute of the game, Modric suddenly picked a pass behind Real Madrid's defense, and Griezmann immediately swept the ball to the goal after successfully countering offside.

Aguero confronted Ramos while trying to grab the spot, Jean missed the ball and was pushed to the ground by Ramos.

This caused Atletico Madrid's players and coaches to protest loudly.

"Penalty!!! This is a penalty!!!"

Gao Bo yelled loudly on the sidelines.

In fact, he didn't see the situation in the penalty area clearly, but in this case, he certainly thought that the referee should give himself a penalty.

Boos also rang out.

The televised footage was shown to the referee.

The on-duty referee Sanchez Martinez crossed his hands, then waved his hand to signal Aguero to get up.

The referee did not think such an action was worthy of a penalty.

If it is outside the penalty area, the call for a foul will be blown, but this is inside the penalty area. Any referee is very cautious about whistles for actions in the penalty area, because once a penalty kick is whistled, the impact on the game itself is too great.

The referee is unwilling to easily call a foul in the penalty area.

The football also came out of the touchline on the other side.

Aguero got up from the ground resentfully, and he was still complaining when he passed by the referee.

"He absolutely pushed me, he sabotaged one of our goals!!"

Sanchez Martinez shook his head, "This is not a foul, don't always think about falling to the ground, I will see clearly!"

Although no penalty kick was awarded, this can be regarded as Atletico Madrid's most threatening attack so far.

In fact, looking back, Real Madrid's offense did not invest many troops.

Bell dribbled the ball all the way, but Sandro has been laying his inside line. For a player like Bell, it is basically impossible to completely seal both sides of him, so Sanchez chose to defend Bell inside.

Because the Welsh star's shot after cutting inside is bigger than his cross.

And at this time Kanter also came up immediately.

Kanter is responsible for stealing the ball!
And Bell obviously knows how powerful Kanter is. Under the double-teaming of Sanchez and Kanter, he may not be able to protect the ball.

So he made a cross before Kanter came up.

But the pass was a bit too big, and the football flew to the other end.

Juanfran and Ronaldo are fighting for position, Juanfran carries Ronaldo behind him, and the football flies out of the far sideline.

This was almost the norm in Real Madrid's offense throughout the first half.

It is more to rely on the personal abilities of Ronaldo and Bell to harass each other.

Such an offensive is naturally difficult to create any threats.

Mourinho's team didn't have many players pressing up to attack.

When he saw Marcelo starting, Gao Bo thought that Marcelo's starting was a signal that Mourinho was going to attack.

Unexpectedly, Mourinho still chose to be conservative.

Gao Bo is not worried about the conservative Mourinho.

Since Real Madrid doesn't come up to attack, Atletico Madrid naturally don't need to worry.

Mourinho wants to let Atletico Madrid press the offense, and then Real Madrid will play defense. Naturally, Gao Bo will not let Mourinho's abacus succeed.

He is sitting on the coach's bench, and the stadium scene is very dull now. If the two teams have not made changes, Gao Bo doesn't think there will be goals in the first half.

"Now is the time to be more patient, Moya!"

Gao Bo said to his assistant.

"We don't need to worry at all! The Portuguese should be anxious."

The Portuguese is naturally Mourinho.

But Mourinho is not in a hurry.

A draw in the first half is also a result he can accept. If the situation on the field is always zero to zero, for Real Madrid, they just need a goal.

Real Madrid needn't worry either!
Both teams have shown their patience in such a heavyweight game.

The game time passed by one minute and one second, and the first half passed in such a slow and dull rhythm.
