Barcelona's 0-3 away defeat to Juventus in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals caught off guard.
It seemed as if all their madness in the Champions League was vented on Paris Saint-Germain.
The Catalan media was in tears.
I could only shout in a crying voice: Reversal, we can reverse! 0:4 can reverse, 0:3 is not a problem!
When the 30th round of the weekend league came, the Catalan media had to remind Barcelona of what everyone on earth knew: this round of Madrid derby, Barcelona is a good time to catch up with points!
As long as Barcelona wins, the Madrid derby will narrow the gap with the top two.
On the weekend, Atletico Madrid fans came to the Bernabeu Stadium again.
Given that the team lost the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in the mid-week, their mood is also a bit complicated now, and they are worried that the team will give up the top spot after this round of league.
People are still those, but the battlefield, situation, state, and mentality have 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 opportunity to compete for the championship.
If the draw is tied, the gap between the two teams will be 1 point.
It sounds like a buck of Real Madrid.
Simeone's posture was lower.
It means that Atletico Madrid will be satisfied if he scores 1 point away.
As long as they don't lose, they will still sit at the top of the list.
It's nothing more than a situation where the advantage of Barcelona and Real Madrid is only 1 point again.
But there is still a league national derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The Bernabeu is full and passionate.
Real Madrid has no rotation compared to the match a few days ago.
Atletico Madrid only made a personnel change.
Patai replaced Carrasco's starter, and it seemed to be a 442 player, but actually a 451 player.
Patty, Gabi and Saul formed the iron triangle of the midfield, Ye Yifeng played against the left forward and Cork made the right forward.
Unlike the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the opportunities of the two teams before the game are balanced. Real Madrid hopes to establish an advantage at home, and Atletico Madrid also hopes to get a better result away.
When we arrived at the league battlefield, the subtle difference in the situation was that Atletico Madrid was already ahead.
The advantage of 1 point in points is inconspicuous, but given the terrifying performance of the top three in the Spanish Super League in the league in competition for fault tolerance, the 1-point gap may eventually become an insurmountable gap for the opponent.
For example, the three teams last season had the possibility of winning the championship, and neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona could perform a reversal miracle.
Opportunities are in front of Real Madrid. If they do not seek to seize the opportunity to defeat Atletico Madrid at home, will they hope to capsize the gutters of Atletico Madrid in the next eight rounds of the league?
Zidane's metaphysics probably doesn't have this article either.
With the referee's whistle, the Imperial City Showdown officially opened!
Atletico Madrid clearly showed the defensive counterattack at the beginning.
Ye Yifeng also stayed on the backcourt to assist in defense.
Real Madrid fell down from the midfield and backcourt and began to organize the offensive, but since they knew that Atletico Madrid was playing defensive counterattacks, they were naturally very cautious in their offense.
Isco stopped on the right, and Atletico Madrid strengthened its backcourt defense and compressed space. If Real Madrid did not rush up the pace, it would be difficult for slow-moving offensive to create an obvious threat.
In the 20 minutes before the game, the two teams didn't even shoot a shot.
Atletico Madrid's counterattack will also depend on the situation. If the opponent maintains at least two midfielders and four-guard formations in the backcourt, Ye Yifeng will pass the ball to Griezmann, giving the opponent a chance to challenge a world-class goal.
Griezmann suffered frequent setbacks in the frontcourt, while Real Madrid was in a trident and it was difficult to shoot.
Benzema's long shot outside the penalty area was shot and Savage stepped forward to block the angle with his body.
After Isco was cut off the ball by Ye Yifeng, he learned his lesson. He couldn't score in front and passed the ball back.
Compared to the two teams in the Champions League, they have ideas about goals, and their cautious appearance when they come to the league battlefield makes Real Madrid fans not know who to hate!
It doesn't seem to make sense to spray Atletico Madrid.
Real Madrid has no soldiers in front of him, so how can we blame Atletico Madrid for putting on the bus?
Ronaldo is still working very hard, but today his teammates are not very good at creating threats. He tried to create threats by individual players. Gabi, Pattay and Saul took turns to attack each other, so he couldn't even enter the penalty area.
Zidane concealed his inner anxiety well on the sidelines.
After 35 minutes of the game, Real Madrid failed to even have a slight threat.
At this time, Real Madrid fans in the stands took the initiative to put pressure on them.
Boos are everywhere!
It is also hard to tell whether it is Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid, or whether both teams have a share.
Zidane gestured to the disciples on the field.
Speed up the pace and attack with a strong wave!
What if it is done?
With Ronaldo, the goalkeeper, isn’t it just one chance to score?
When Real Madrid strengthened its offensive, Atletico Madrid was fully focused, first doing a good job of defense, and then waiting for an opportunity to catch a counterattack!
Modric and Kroos took turns assisting to the frontcourt, but they were useless.
Still, it is impossible to create threat opportunities under intensive defense.
Although it can be seen that the shot is obvious, it is obviously a lottery.
In the 41st minute of the game, when Marcelo assisted to the frontcourt, he made a cross in front of Juan Fran. The ball was headed by Godin as soon as it flew into the penalty area.
When Cork passed the ball to the frontcourt in the backcourt, Ye Yifeng had already run through the middle circle.
After reaching the middle of the frontcourt, facing Casemiro who was coming from the front, Ye Yifeng quickly shot the ball and collided with Griezmann, who was receiving from the front.
After getting rid of Casemiro, he received a return pass from Griezmann at the front of the penalty area. Ye Yifeng stepped on a bicycle and pulled the ball with his left foot to dodge Ramos' pressing. Although he did not complete the breakthrough, he had room and route to deliver wonderful passes.
A wonderful pass from right foot hit Varane directly behind him.
When Varane turned around, Griezmann had cut inward and then drifted the ball, so Varane had no time to chase.
Facing Navas alone, Griezmann decisively shot low in the near corner of the goal.
The football rolled quickly through the Navas armpit.
After scoring, Griezmann turned around and waved to Ye Yifeng with a smile.
Atletico Madrid fans cheered excitedly!
The dull game rhythm will come together and goals will appear.
As soon as the goal arrives.
The fans laughed wildly!
Ye Yifeng and Griezmann came to the corner flag area. Griezmann danced a strange dance. Ye Yifeng couldn't help but raise his hand to hold his forehead and couldn't bear to look at it.
"Griezmann scored a goal with Ye Yifeng's flier! This goal was not expected.
Atletico Madrid was determined to play a defensive counterattack at the Bernabeu today. Real Madrid had to pay a defensive price to break through their goal, and Atletico Madrid's counterattack was still sharp!
I think Simeone will regret why he did not arrange his troops in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals according to today's ideas.
If the last game was also today's technical and tactical style, although the excitement of the game would be greatly reduced, it might not allow Real Madrid to score so many goals.
Now the Real Madrid League championship is in lingering!
Once Atletico Madrid scores 3 points away, Real Madrid will be 4 points behind. This gap will definitely make them desperate with eight rounds left in the league!”
It’s not that Simeone didn’t think that she played like this in the last game, but referring to Atletico Madrid’s arrangement of troops against Barcelona, he does not think that Atletico Madrid needs to be as conservative as it is today.
Atletico Madrid's transformation this season is to improve offensive aggression.
From time to time, I have seen this situation like the four forwards in the past two seasons?
Although they are basically in the weak team games, it reflects the change in Simeone's thinking.
The days are different.
There was no striker before, but now there is a super giant Ye Yifeng who can compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Atletico Madrid always has to try something new.
Moreover, the situation today is different from the Champions League. Real Madrid is behind in points, which is equivalent to Atletico Madrid starting the game with its own leading advantage. It is a basic operation to make a defensive counterattack more calmly.
Zidane touched his mysterious head.
Depressed inward.
He knew that this would happen.
Once Real Madrid strengthens its offensive, it is like falling into the trap of Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid seems to be conservative and not pursued, but they are actually patient enough to wait for the excellent opportunity to appear.
