Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 280
Until the end of the first half, the two sides still drew 0:0.

The suspense of the game is still unresolved, but in the confrontation game between the coaches of the two teams, Simeone has already won first.

Atletico Madrid also proved to everyone through this half that they are still a team that plays as a whole. Wen Zhihao and Griezmann are just outstanding individuals, rather than relying entirely on the performance of individual players to drag the team forward.

Due to Wen Zhihao's astonishment throughout the season, it somewhat covered up the advantages of Atletico Madrid's overall operation. In the first half, everyone saw Atletico Madrid's traditional hardness and speed. Without Wen Zhihao and Griezmann, they could still be evenly divided with Real Madrid.

Seeing that Atletico Madrid performed well, He Wei was also very pleased, and said: "Simeone was like giving Zidane a shot in the first half, but Real Madrid still didn't have an army to checkmate Atletico Madrid, and I'm afraid there won't be such an opportunity in the second half. Because Wen Zhihao seems to be fine. He is walking shoulder to shoulder with Griezmann and walking towards the player tunnel. From the way he walks, he can't see any injuries. If there is no accident, he will definitely play in the second half."

Due to the broadcast, the camera didn't cut to Wen Zhihao's side, but He Wei was at the scene and could see clearly from the commentary booth.Reported the good news to all Chinese fans as soon as possible.

Many people's hearts were still hanging in their stomachs immediately.This is the biggest good news. In the second half, there is something to look forward to.

Zidane's main job in the midfield lounge is to highlight the key points of attack and defense for everyone, and tell everyone to be more patient. After all, when Wen Zhihao was away, Atletico Madrid's offensive changes and routines were much less. As long as there are a few points, these players know what to do.

And Simeone will start to make substitutions in the second half.First up is Griezmann.

In fact, the two had no injuries.It's just that Simeone is very cautious. Considering that the league and the Champions League are also at the last moment, today's Copa del Rey gave the two a half-time break.

He was very satisfied in the first half, but in the really cruel second half, he had to look at the fixed combination of WCG.

As for why Wen Zhihao was not replaced at the same time, Simeone knows Real Madrid's opponent very well, and it is not yet time to meet him.

Griezmann played at the beginning of the second half, with a certain degree of tactical surprise. He expected that Zidane would not have thought that he would take the initiative to strengthen the attack when the score did not change.In a two-round home and away game, it is risky for the home team to rush to attack.Once it is successfully attacked by the opponent.The disadvantage of one goal is the pressure of having to score two goals.

It wasn't until Griezmann played and replaced Torres that Zidane knew he had miscalculated again.

But he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Wen Zhihao hadn't come yet.Without Wen Zhihao's full support in the midfield, Griezmann could not be fully fired.Zidane still has confidence in this top guard line.

As long as Wen Zhihao doesn't play, the defense will not be a big problem.

Zidane is not in a hurry to replace Bell, who is also his back-up, as long as Simeone does not replace Wen Zhihao, he is not in a hurry at all.

……

With Griezmann active on the front line, it is indeed much more effective than Costa and Torres' striker twin towers. Although Griezmann still has to undertake part of the frontcourt connection tasks and has not exerted all his off-ball running ability, it has also greatly enriched the offensive tactics. The tacit understanding between him and Costa, which relies on actual combat, cannot be replaced by Torres.

Fifteen minutes before the opening of the second half, Atletico Madrid rarely achieved an overwhelming advantage against Real Madrid.The defensive midfielder combination of Gabi and Saul faced Kroos and Casemiro, and they were not at a disadvantage.Although the two do not have the deterrent physical fitness of Thomas, their experience and more comprehensive offensive and defensive capabilities can make up for their shortcomings in this regard.

The two sides are already familiar with each other's weaknesses. Atletico Madrid is very clear that the weakness of Real Madrid's defense is Nacho, who is playing in rotation today. Atletico Madrid's offensive focus will naturally shift to his side. Griezmann also frequently tries to move in a wide range.

Atletico Madrid has accelerated the offensive rhythm in a targeted manner, and it is gratifying that the effect is remarkable. In 5 minutes, Griezmann and Carrasco combined to penetrate the space behind Nacho. Griezmann broke through the penalty area and made a pass. He accurately found Costa who leaped high at the back point, and broke Navas's ten fingers with a header.

"GOOOOOAL!!! Griezmann can still play a key role, Simeone's substitution effect is immediate!" Garcia was quite excited.

The score fell behind, but Zidane calmed down, called midfielder Modric to the sidelines, and said; "Pass more to Cristiano, it's time for him to show his superstar value."

Real Madrid will strengthen their offense next, which everyone can predict, but Real Madrid's counterattack will be effective so quickly, but it is completely unexpected.

Atletico Madrid took the lead less than 3 minutes before Real Madrid equalized the score.A set ball from the left side of the front court, Modric transferred into the penalty area, Ronaldo leaped high in the middle, but he feinted a shot, which took away the attention of the two defenders around him, and Benzema took the opportunity to head the ball through Atletico Madrid's goal.

Zidane clenched his fists, and this goal was the best response.

The two goals in a short period of time also made it even more difficult for everyone to see the trend of the game. Next, it depends on the substitution of the head coaches of both sides, which will have a directional impact on the game.

After being scored by the opponent at home, Simeone desperately needed to lead again. He replaced Gaitan with Thomas in the No. 605 minute.

As a result, Atletico Madrid's position on the field has undergone major adjustments.

The midfielder's double midfielder returned to Gabi and Thomas' main partner, and Saul moved to the side to take over Gaitan's position.Kirk is still the offensive brain on the field.

Seeing Simeone's adjustments, He Wei really admired him for being able to hold his breath. At this time, he is not yet Wen Zhihao.

"Does Simeone still want to let Wen Zhihao play a one-hit victory at the last moment? I'm afraid it's not realistic. It's not that he doesn't believe in Wen Zhihao's ability, but a team with a solid foundation like Real Madrid, it is difficult to expose loopholes in the defense line in the final stage."

Just when He Wei expressed such doubts, Zidane followed up to make a substitution, and Bell was about to play.

Thomas' appearance made it more difficult for Real Madrid to attack in the middle, and Zidane could only strengthen his tearing ability on the wing.

Off the court, Boggs urged Simeone again: "Diego, are you considering going to Wen? Bell is on the opposite side."

Simeone nodded and told Wen Zhihao to warm up.

But Simeone made a special statement, warm up slowly, don't worry too much.

Taking advantage of this time, Simeone can see how much threat Zidane's ultimate adjustment can produce.

He has a lot of confidence, and in a deadlocked situation, he believes that patience is a virtue.

Late strikes often have more opportunities to win.
