Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 208 The Incomplete Derby

Wen Zhihao is not a person who likes to find faults on the field, he is stimulated to chase after someone to settle accounts, and instantly arouses the desire of the players on the Atletico Madrid field to fight.If it hadn't been for Simeone's confession before the game to try his best to restrain his emotions to avoid unnecessary red and yellow cards, the captain Gabi would definitely not be the only one who appeared at the scene of the incident to stand in for Wen Zhihao.

Originally, the two sides were enemies, and the old enemies were extremely jealous when they met each other. Every time the Atletico Madrid players held their breath and wanted to take off the hat of the nemesis in the same city, their emotions were easily stimulated. Seeing Ramos let go of Wen Zhihao, not only did he not show any remorse, but also had an expression of "I kicked it, what can you do!", this damn can bear it?
What do you think of this place?Even the Bernabéu can't bear your arrogance!
Want to run amok at the Mets?
Ah!
Under normal circumstances, apart from Casemiro, Kroos and Modric, including Isco, are masters in controlling the rhythm, and Real Madrid should be in charge of the game.But the fact is just the opposite. Atletico Madrid went on the offensive in the opening stage.Varane and Casilla are in excellent form today. In a special game, top players know how to stimulate their state to the best.

Wen Zhihao took the initiative to increase the intensity of running towards Real Madrid's penalty area, especially behind Ramos. Wanting to compete with Ramos is the second most important reason. Real Madrid's left half of the defense is relatively easy to open the gap.Marcelo likes to get in frequently in the offense, and Wen Zhihao uses the space behind the opponent's left, and the range of activities is always within Ramos' sight.Having suffered a small loss just now, Ramos had to shift part of his attention to him.This is what Wen Zhihao wants. After fully mobilizing Real Madrid's defense, Saul, Cork and Griezmann have more opportunities to deliver a real fatal blow.

On the coach's bench, Zidane stroked his bald head. He was not worried about the current situation, but dissatisfied with the attitude of the players.On the surface, it was the pressure brought by Atletico Madrid's offense, and Zidane, as a former midfielder, can naturally see the fundamental crux in the midfield at a glance. Modric's performance is a bit overbearing, not his normal rhythm of playing the ball.As soon as the collective oppression of Atletico Madrid's midfield came up, a small circle was immediately formed around him and he was directly enclosed in it.Modric has rich experience, used confrontation skills to make several fouls, and guaranteed not to lose the ball, which is already the best result.At the same time, it shows how much pressure was caused by Atletico Madrid's overall pressing. Modric did not dare to pass back to the defense. Wen Zhihao lay in ambush between him and the defender, staring at his feet like a falcon.

However, Atletico Madrid's great situation did not come to fruition, and Real Madrid's defense was even better.Both Varane and Ramos have played at the level of top central defenders. Even if Atletico Madrid relies on team strength to tear through the defense of the two, there is still a line of defense in front of the goal that makes offensive players sigh - goalkeeper Casilla.

The opening save against Correa was just the beginning of his performance in the derby.He made at least four wonderful saves in the first 10 minutes, including Wen Zhihao’s free kick that went to the dead corner. He Wei was too happy, and just in the middle of the cheers, Casilla blocked the ball with his head. It's like possessing a soul."

However, giants like Real Madrid have strong resistance to pressure and adaptability. Atletico Madrid's oppression can make them passive, but they will never collapse.On the contrary, with the gradual passage of time, Real Madrid fans began to look forward to the reversal of the scene.They are very familiar with Atletico Madrid's high-intensity pressing, which is in line with their usual style. They were indeed nervous for a while at the beginning, but gradually became more relaxed as time went on. They firmly believed that the game would fall into Real Madrid's control.It is evidenced by the historical basis of key games in the Champions League for two consecutive years.

About halfway through the first half, the game was briefly interrupted for a few minutes because Modric fell to the ground and was injured during the scramble. The broadcast footage captured Ronaldo walking to the team's backcourt and communicating with Ramos.

It is also necessary to mention the Champions League final between the two teams.Because it is very representative.When the two teams fought 1:1 in regular time, Ronaldo’s performance was extremely similar when Real Madrid players circled the sidelines before the start of overtime. No one expected that within half an hour of overtime, Ronaldo would perform a hat-trick. It was supposed to be a suffocating final, but the final stage turned into a one-sided victory.

The wishes of Real Madrid fans are very good, but the reality is that until the end of the first half, the score did not change, and Atletico Madrid played more freely.

Wen Zhihao's half-time performance was a little quiet.In every critical battle, the burden on him is no lighter than that of the veteran players.Both the midfield and the strikers have a part to play.It has not become the most sought-after focus as most Chinese fans expected, but the value of players is not entirely reflected by scoring statistics.The curiosity and embarrassment in Ramos' eyes can best illustrate how much trouble Wen Zhihao's performance on the field has caused for Real Madrid's defense.

After the intermission, in the second half, the two sides really showed their cards in the bottom of the box.Atletico Madrid's offensive end was as fast-paced and confrontational as ever. As an important tactical support point, Wen Zhihao was double-teamed by Kroos and Ramos. Atletico Madrid still had the determination to win in terms of momentum, but Wen Zhihao focused too much on the confrontation with the two stars. Naturally, Atletico Madrid's offense would not be as efficient as in the first half.Real Madrid began to display the iconic quick counterattack of Xiao Kuailing.Ronaldo, who has gained enough space in the frontcourt, is truly incomprehensible. He forced Godin many times and got the opportunity to directly threaten Atletico Madrid's goal.

However, this derby is not destined to be a holiday for offensive players.In the first half, Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casilla stole the limelight from Wen Zhihao and others. In the second half, things changed, and Oblak began to show his attributes as a goalkeeper. In the second half, with Real Madrid's threats again and again, Oblak became the source of amazement and cheers at home.

There is no lack of confrontation and war of words between the two sides on the scene, and the fans don't feel monotonous.After eight or ten minutes of the game, the fans realized that both sides were full of thunder and rain, and so far no goals have been scored. This has not happened in the past two seasons between the two sides, and it is even rarer for Derby.

Without goals and red and yellow cards flying all over the sky, the commentator has no window to express his passion.Garcia is a typical passionate commentator, dissatisfied and helpless: "If it ends in a goalless derby, it will be a complete derby. Yes, how can a derby be complete without scoring? The culprit should be the goalkeepers of the two teams. Their outburst seems very inappropriate, haha!"
