Greenery Reverses The Madness

Barcelona was caught off guard by a 0:3 away defeat to Juventus in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

It was as if all their madness in the Champions League was vented on Paris Saint-Germain.

The Catalan media was on the verge of tears.

I can only cry and shout: Reversal, we can reverse it! 0:4 can be reversed, but 0:3 is nothing!

When the 30th round of the league arrived at the weekend, the Catalan media had to remind Barcelona again what everyone on the earth knows: this Madrid derby is a good time for Barcelona to chase points!

As long as Barcelona wins, no matter what the outcome of the Madrid derby, Barcelona will narrow the gap with the top two.

Atletico Madrid fans descended on the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium again over the weekend.

In view of the team's defeat in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek, they are now in a complicated mood, worried that the team will give up the top spot after this round of the league.

The people are still the same, but the battlefield, situation, state, and mentality have all changed.

Zidane said before the game that even if the team cannot beat Atletico Madrid at home, it does not mean that they have lost the chance to compete for the championship.

If there is a tie, the gap between the two teams will still be 1 point.

Sounds like a step down for Real Madrid.

Simeone's stance is even lower.

It means that Atletico Madrid will be satisfied with 1 point in the away game.

As long as they don't lose, they will still be at the top.

It is nothing more than the possibility of falling into a situation where the advantage over Barcelona and Real Madrid is only 1 point again.

But there is still a league El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona that has not been played.

The Bernabeu was packed and the excitement was as good as ever.

Real Madrid did not rotate compared to the game a few days ago.

Atletico Madrid only made one personnel change.

Partey replaced Carrasco in the starting lineup. It looked like he still played 442, but he actually shot 451.

Partey, Gabi, and Saul formed the iron triangle in the midfield, with Ye Yifeng playing as the left midfielder and Cork as the right midfielder.

Different from the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the chances of the two teams before the game were balanced. Real Madrid hopes to establish an advantage at home, and Atletico Madrid also hopes to get a better result in the away game.

When it comes to the league battlefield, the subtle difference in the situation is that Atletico Madrid is already ahead.

A one-point advantage in points is inconspicuous, but given the horrific performance of the top three in the Western Premier League in terms of error tolerance in the league, a one-point gap may eventually become a gap that is insurmountable for opponents.

Just like last season, all three teams had the possibility of winning the championship in the final game. Real Madrid and Barcelona failed to stage a miracle of reversal.

The opportunity is before Real Madrid. If they don't seize the opportunity to defeat Atletico Madrid at home, will they have to hope that Atletico Madrid will overturn in the next eight rounds of the league?

Zidane's metaphysics probably doesn't have this article either.

With the referee's whistle, the Royal City Showdown in La Liga officially begins!

Atletico Madrid opened with a defensive counterattack.

Ye Yifeng also stayed in the backcourt to assist in defense.

Real Madrid shifted in the midfield and then started to organize the offensive, but since they knew that Atletico Madrid was playing defensive counterattack, the offense was naturally very cautious.

Isco took a break on the right, and after Atletico Madrid strengthened its backcourt defense to compress the space,

If Real Madrid doesn't pick up the pace, it's difficult to create a clear threat with its slow offensive.

In the first 20 minutes of the game, neither team even had a shot on goal.

Atletico Madrid's counterattack will also depend on the situation. If the opponent maintains a formation of at least two midfielders and four defenders in the backcourt, Ye Yifeng will pass the ball to Griezmann, giving the opponent a chance to challenge for a world-class goal.

Griezmann suffered frequent setbacks in the frontcourt, while Real Madrid's trident was trapped in a tight siege and found it difficult to take a shot.

Benzema's long shot from outside the penalty area was blasted, but Savage stepped forward and blocked the angle with his body.

After Isco was intercepted by Ye Yifeng, he learned the lesson and passed the ball back when he couldn't hit it in front.

Compared to the Champions League where both teams have ideas for scoring goals, when they come to the league battlefield they are so cautious that Real Madrid fans don’t know who to hate!

It seems unreasonable to want to spray the scent of Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid didn't have troops to press the border, so how could they blame Atletico Madrid for having a bus?

Ronaldo is still working hard, but today his teammates are not very good at creating threats. He tried to create threats alone. Gabi, Partey and Saul took turns to defend and attack in twos, making him unable to even enter the penalty area.

Zidane hid his inner anxiety well on the sidelines.

Seeing that 35 minutes of the game had passed, Real Madrid failed to even pose a slight threat.

At this time, the Real Madrid fans in the stands took the initiative to put pressure.

There were boos everywhere!

It was also unclear whether he was booing Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid, or whether both teams were booing.

Zidane gestured to the disciples on the field.

Speed ​​up the tempo and attack!

What if it happens?

With Cristiano Ronaldo as the top scorer, isn't it just one chance to score?

When Real Madrid stepped up its offensive, Atletico Madrid concentrated on defending first and then waiting for a counterattack!

Modric and Kroos took turns assisting in the frontcourt, but it was useless.

Still unable to create threatening opportunities under intensive defense.

Although people can see the shot, it is obviously a lottery ticket.

In the 41st minute of the game, when Marcelo assisted to the frontcourt, he passed in front of Juanfran. The ball just flew into the penalty area and was cleared by Godin's header.

When Cork passed the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Ye Yifeng had already passed the center circle.

After reaching the middle of the frontcourt to receive the ball, facing the menacing Casemiro in front, Ye Yifeng quickly kicked the ball and hit the wall to cooperate with Griezmann who was receiving the ball in front.

After getting rid of Casemiro, he received Griezmann's back pass at the front of the penalty area. Ye Yifeng stepped on his bicycle and pulled the ball with his left foot to the right to avoid Ramos' press. Although he did not complete the breakthrough, he made a delivery. The space and lines of wonderful communication.

A wonderful pass with his right foot went straight behind Varane.

By the time Varane turned around, Griezmann had already cut inside and changed the direction of the ball, leaving Varane with no time to pursue it.

Facing Navas alone, Griezmann decisively shot a low shot into the near corner of the goal.

The football flew past Navas' arm.

After scoring, Griezmann turned around and waved to Ye Yifeng with a smile.

Atletico Madrid fans cheer excitedly!

The dull rhythm of the game is accompanied by goals.

As soon as the goal came.

The fans laughed wildly!

Ye Yifeng and Griezmann came to the corner flag area. Griezmann danced a weird dance. Ye Yifeng couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead and couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Griezmann connected with Ye Yifeng and scored with a brilliant pass! This goal was not unexpected.

Atletico Madrid is determined to play a defensive counterattack at the Bernabeu today. Real Madrid must pay a defensive price if they want to break their goal, but Atletico Madrid's counterattack is still sharp!

I think Simeone will regret at this moment why he did not arrange his troops according to today's ideas in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

If the last game had been played with today's technical and tactical style, although the excitement of the game would be greatly reduced, Real Madrid might not have been able to score so many goals.

Now the Real Madrid league title is on the line!

Once Atletico Madrid scores all 3 points in the away game, Real Madrid will be 4 points behind Atletico Madrid. This gap will definitely make them desperate with eight rounds left in the league!

It's not that Simeone never thought about playing like this in the last game, but referring to Atletico Madrid's formation against Barcelona, ​​he doesn't think Atletico Madrid needs to be as conservative as it is today.

Atletico Madrid's own transformation this season is to improve their offensive aggressiveness.

From time to time, there is a situation where four forwards are used. Where have you seen it in the past two seasons?

Although they were basically played against underdogs, it reflected Simeone's change in thinking.

Times are different.

There was no striker before, but now there is a super forward who can compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid always has something new to try.

And today's situation is different from that of the Champions League. Real Madrid is lagging behind in points, which is equivalent to Atletico Madrid starting the game with its own lead. A more leisurely defensive counterattack is the basic operation.

Zidane touched his head, which was filled with mysterious energy.

Depressed inside.

He knew this would happen.

Once Real Madrid steps up its offensive, it's like falling into Atletico Madrid's trap.

Atletico Madrid seems to be conservative and not pursuing, but they are actually patient enough to wait for the perfect opportunity to appear.

Ronaldo was a little impatient on the court and kept gesturing to his teammates: Brothers, come up, don’t be afraid, as long as you can pass the ball to me, I can score!

In the two Madrid derbies that have ended this season, Ronaldo has scored two hat tricks.

19 goals in the league, 3 against Atletico Madrid, 5 goals in the Champions League, 3 against Atletico Madrid.

When it comes to which team he is most confident in playing now, in the era of big data, the answer is clear: Atletico Madrid!

But other Real Madrid players are under great pressure.

At this time, we can only bite the bullet and launch a fierce attack on the opponent.

Before the end of the half, Ronaldo's header from the left side of the penalty area was confiscated by Oblak. Atletico Madrid entered the locker room with a 1:0 lead.

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Real Madrid had just begun to prepare for a continuous offensive, but Atletico Madrid suddenly launched an attack!

In the 53rd minute of the game, Ye Yifeng launched an offensive in the middle position, and Saul followed up in the middle to join forces with him.

With Partey behind him, Saul can also get a certain degree of release.

When Ye Yifeng reached the left side of the penalty area and received Saul's pass, he glanced at Griezmann who was cutting inside to the right rib of the penalty area.

Passing the ball on the spot, Ramos quickly stepped forward to intercept the ball.

However, Ye Yifeng dunked his foot and changed his foot to move forward to complete the breakthrough!

The most high-end breakthroughs often only require the simplest actions!

Ramos had not had a head-to-head confrontation with Ye Yifeng for a long time. He thought that Ye Yifeng was avoiding him and kicking him, but he didn't expect that such a sudden attack caught him off guard!

Ye Yifeng, who entered the left rib area of ​​the penalty area, took a decisive shot.

The football blasted with his left foot flew straight to the near corner of the goal.

Although Navas made a flying save and hit the football with his right hand, he didn't expect the football to change slightly and still brush the inside of the left goal post and fly into the goal!

After Ye Yifeng jogged to the corner flag area, he made his signature celebration in slow motion with a grim look on his face.

When the cross hand slowly opens and changes into Wing Chun's starting position, Ye Yifeng in the camera seems to be filled with murderous intent!

Real Madrid fans were shocked.

0:2 behind!

Shouldn’t we get stronger as we fight?

No matter how you look at it, it’s 80% likely to be cold!
