My uncle is Inzaghi

Real Madrid's pace is indeed difficult to stop.

Atletico Madrid dropped points in the league and they slipped to third place.

Second-placed Barcelona is 13 points behind Real Madrid!

In the 30th round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Elba 3-0 at home. In the 31st round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Cordoba 2-0 away from home.

Although Barcelona is also maintaining a winning streak.

But according to this momentum.

Real Madrid only needs to win in a row until the 34th round to win the La Liga championship four rounds in advance.

It doesn't matter if Real Madrid drops points during this period.

No one thinks that with only the last 7 games of the league left, Real Madrid can lose 13 points - this is really going to happen, and Real Madrid's players can collectively commit suicide.

There is no suspense in La Liga.

What about the Champions League?

Because the opponent in the Champions League quarter-finals is Atletico Madrid.

Therefore, Real Madrid players and fans are still very confident in eliminating Atletico Madrid and entering the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid has played against Real Madrid so many times this season.

They are almost losing their virginity.

Playing Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid is very experienced.

After the 31st round of the local league, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals also began.

Real Madrid challenges Atletico Madrid away from home.

at Calderon Stadium.

Real Madrid has an absolute advantage.

But they didn't score a goal and certainly didn't concede a goal.

After the game.

The score between the two sides in the first round was zero to zero.

After the game, although the Real Madrid players were a little regretful that they failed to kill the game in the first round, on the whole, they still left the Calderon Stadium with smiles on their faces.

A draw in the away game is a draw.

We can still take care of you when we return to our home court.

Real Madrid's coaches, players and fans are full of confidence.

After the game.

The media in Madrid are criticizing Simeone for being conservative.

I think he didn't even have the guts to attack at the Calderon Stadium, which is a shame for the Atletico Madrid fans who came to watch the game.

But Simeone is unfazed by these views.

Those criticisms won't get his team to the semifinals, but tough defense will.

Real Madrid made a rotation in the 32nd round of the league at the weekend.

However, Real Madrid, which relied on a rotating lineup, still won. They defeated Malaga 3-1 at home.

Everyone knows what the purpose of Real Madrid's rotation is.

It's nothing more than defeating Atletico Madrid at their home court and advancing to the Champions League semi-finals!

Zidane saw nothing wrong with the game.

Simeone's team was completely at a disadvantage when facing Real Madrid. Real Madrid's players were in good condition. They had another round of rotation in the league over the weekend and were full of energy and high morale.

He couldn't even imagine that Real Madrid still had the possibility of not advancing.

After the start of the second round of the game between the two sides.

Zidane sat comfortably on the coaching bench, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Instead, Simeone stood on the sidelines and stared at the court with a frown.

All he saw was Li Mo.

Li Mo was very active after the game started. This activity made him very worried, worried that Li Mo would ruin his plan.

This is the eighth time this season that Atletico Madrid faces Real Madrid.

Having lost six of the previous seven times, Atletico Madrid's players have lost their temper.

therefore,

Simeone told his players he wanted to eliminate Real Madrid.

Except for scoring goals himself.

There is another way.

Just to prevent Real Madrid from scoring goals!

Hold on, zero to zero, go to overtime, take a penalty kick!

This plan is simply too cowardly.

But when you face a team that loses six games in a season.

If the head coach arranges it like this, you have nothing to say.

Atletico Madrid's players didn't feel that this method made them lose face or anything.

Because they also think Simeone is right.

Want to eliminate Real Madrid.

This seems to be the most feasible way now.

Lower your posture and defend with all your strength!

As long as you can withstand it and don't lose the ball.

Then there is hope of advancement!

As long as you get past Real Madrid.

everything will get better.

With such belief.

Atletico Madrid's players stayed in the backcourt, concentrated, high-spirited and went all out to defend.

"Atletico Madrid is holding on. They seem to want to hold on to a zero-0 score."

"Atletico Madrid's defense was well organized and their discipline in these two rounds was really impressive."

The commentators were praising Atletico Madrid's defense.

Although everyone was a little surprised that Simeone chose to stick to it.

But I don’t think Simeone is a coward.

Because this approach really works.

They're already halfway there.

If it can really drag the game into a penalty shootout.

Then Atletico Madrid has a higher chance of winning - Real Madrid will definitely be demoralized by this, and Atletico Madrid, which is fully prepared, will definitely have high morale and high expectations for the penalty shootout.

Don't tell me yet.

When Atletico Madrid made up its mind to set up a bus.

What they did was really good.

Facing a midfield and frontcourt attacking combination of Li Mo, Bell, Di Maria, Modric, Kroos and Alonso.

There were enough numbers in front of Atlético Madrid's goal.

Real Madrid felt as if they were facing a hedgehog curling up into a ball, and they felt a bit at a loss what to say.

Zidane finally couldn't sit still.

He walked to the sidelines.

Real Madrid's offense was limited.

This is something anyone with a clear eye can see.

Atletico Madrid's defensive formation is very deep.

They are almost like forming a movable wall in front of their own goal.

This leaves Real Madrid with no room for penetration.

This approach is reminiscent of the season when Mourinho led Inter Milan to win the Triple Crown. They eliminated Barcelona with one less player on the road.

Intensive defense, retreating to the penalty area, and united efforts to withstand the opponent's attack.

Although the scene is ugly this way.

But, it works.

Zidane can imagine that Atletico Madrid will lower its profile in the away game.

But he was still surprised that Simeone had lowered his attitude to such an extent.

And now the negative consequences of not getting an away goal in a zero-0 away game are beginning to appear.

Zidane was a little worried.

Now he looked like he was being suppressed in the penalty area, like a boxer huddled against the wall with his head in his hands, his opponent's fists coming down one after another.

But he never fell down.

And in this case.

Who knows if this boxer will suddenly knock out his opponent with a powerful backhand punch?

Such a possibility does not exist!

Once Atletico Madrid scores a goal.

Then Real Madrid would be in danger.

Li Mo worked hard to find gaps in the opponent's defense.

But now Atletico Madrid is like a girl in a chastity lock.

The legs were broken.

But you just can't get in.

It makes people anxious.

Of course, there are many ways to succeed, and the easiest way is to find the key to unlock the door.

But this is obviously very difficult.

Another way.

You are just hard enough.

Hard enough to penetrate anything.

Li Mo also tried to move and coordinate, but the effect was not good.

Whether it is movement or coordination, space is needed. Now the opponent's entire team has shrunk and there is no space at all. It is too difficult to move or pass the ball, and it is also very difficult.

Breaking a dense defense is a world-class problem. When Barcelona, ​​which had peak Habaib and super-platinum Messi, faced Mourinho's Inter Milan, wasn't it like a dog eating durian and having no way to eat it?

Therefore, Li Mo simply responded to violence with violence.

He constantly attacks the penalty area and attacks the goal in various ways.

Long shots, headers, points.

However, Atletico Madrid's defensive players are very tenacious and they are defending with red eyes.

Having been defeated by Real Madrid so many times this season, all Atletico Madrid players are holding back their energy. They vowed to humiliate Real Madrid in the most important game!

Although, they are very embarrassed now.

But what if their strategy ultimately succeeds?

If they end up knocking out Real Madrid.

Then how embarrassed they are now.

As they celebrated, it was clear how humiliated Real Madrid had been.

With this mentality, every Atletico Madrid player displayed a fearless spirit.

It's not a problem to block the eye-catching stuff.

So after the first half of the game.

The score is still zero to zero.

Atlético Madrid, three quarters of the way

Oh, if you include overtime, they were barely two-thirds of the way there.

"Atletico Madrid adopted the most extreme strategy. They all defended! Facing Real Madrid, which is in such good form this season, it is understandable that Atletico Madrid chose such a game strategy."

"Atletico Madrid's tactics are very successful. The score is still zero to zero. They have contained Real Madrid's offensive. If they can hold on to this score in the second half and drag the game into overtime. Then it is Real Madrid who should be worried! "

"Real Madrid will definitely not be willing to play a penalty shootout with Atletico Madrid."

The camera showed Simeone on the sidelines.

Atletico Madrid's head coach was visibly relieved.

He stood up and turned towards the locker room.

For Atletico Madrid, the real test comes in the second half.

During halftime.

Simeone stood at the door of the locker room to greet his players like a hero.

He high-fived and hugged Atletico Madrid players.

In this way, he encourages his players and tells his players: You are doing a great job!

"Guys, good job! If we stay like this for 30 minutes in the second half, it's Real Madrid who should be anxious! When they become anxious, our chance will come!"

Simeone shouted in the dressing room.

"One ball! Just one ball! We can send Real Madrid to hell!"

"It doesn't matter if we don't score. As long as the game is dragged into overtime, the balance of victory and defeat will tilt towards us!"

Simone loosened his suit and tie.

With a fierce look on his face, he said viciously: "I don't want to lose to Real Madrid anymore!"

"We've lost to them six times this season!"

"Six times!"

boom!

Simone said, kicking a bottle of water away from his feet.

A horizontal bang hit the locker room door.

His assistant Boggs saw the water bottle hit the door with precision.

I couldn't help but think: If only our players' shots could be as accurate in the second half!

In the home team's locker room.

Zidane reassured his players.

"We are just a little unlucky. The initiative is in our hands. However, in the second half of the game, we must beware of their counterattacks."

What Zidane is most worried about is that Real Madrid's players will become impatient when they are unable to attack for a long time.

Atletico Madrid's counterattack threat still exists.

You definitely can't think that Atletico Madrid has not had many chances until now, just because they have no fangs.

So Zidane emphasized only two words in the locker room: patience!

The game restarts in the second half.

This Champions League quarter-final game is definitely not an exciting game.

Both sides are following their own strategies to deal with the other.

Li Mo did not change his rhythm in the second half.

He has even become somewhat independent - as long as he has the ball, he will pursue the shot as soon as possible.

In Simeone's view, this was a sign that Li Mo was becoming impatient.

if it is like this.

Is Atletico Madrid's hope coming?

Simone was a little excited.

Why doesn't he want to eliminate Real Madrid and avenge his shame?

Actually.

Simeone overlooked one point.

That's the pressure on Atletico Madrid's defense.

To know.

What they faced was Li Mo's impact.

Li Mo kept attacking the penalty area, which consumed a lot of physical energy from Godin and Miranda.

Fifty-seven minutes into the game.

Li Mo grabbed some points from them.

If his header hadn't raised the ball slightly, the ball would have probably gone in.

After landing from the air.

Both of them saw fear in their eyes.

Then the two of them yelled at the players on the wing: "Don't let them pass the ball so comfortably!"

Next, Atletico Madrid's players really strengthened their defense against the cross. They pounced out to interfere with Real Madrid's cross.

This method is indeed good.

But Li Mo continued to ask Real Madrid players not to hesitate.

Pass 1 whenever you get the chance

"It doesn't matter if it's a little higher!"

he emphasized to his teammates.

He felt it.

Whether it's Godin or Miranda.

They were all reaching their limit.

Atletico Madrid's defensive wall looks like it has been bombarded by cannons for a long time and is already crumbling.

in this case.

Of course we have to strike while the iron is hot!

The next game was indeed the same.

Atletico Madrid fans were watching the game almost with heartache.

After Li Mo discovered Miranda and Godin's physical crisis.

Just focus on the two of them to attack.

High-altitude balls kept coming in from the wing.

Li Mo jumped, fought, and collided.

This puts too much pressure on Atletico Madrid's two centre-backs.

They were almost gritting their teeth and resisting.

Even when defending, he did not hesitate to use some foul moves, pulling, pulling, pushing, and snapping Li Mo.

It looks dangerous.

In case the referee blows a penalty kick.

Atletico Madrid really has no temper at all (End of Chapter)
