Chapter 30 Defeated at the Bernabéu
When the match list of the two sides came out, everyone was surprised to see Atletico Madrid's list.
Simeone actually sent all the main lineup!
Isn't he worried that investing too much energy in the Copa del Rey will affect the league?
On the back line, Insua replaced the injured Felipe and appeared at the left back position. The midfield combination is Gabi, Raul Garcia, Thiago, Arda Turan, and the forward line Above is Li Qingshan's partner Diego Costa.
It seems that Atletico Madrid is not ready to give up the Copa del Rey title easily.
"This is also understandable. After all, we have already reached the semi-finals. It is not a bad idea to fight! This is in line with Simeone's character. With a tough person like him, how can he give up one of the events at will?" Duan Xuan said.This Madrid derby has also attracted much attention in China.
"It's just that I don't think it's wise to do this. It's not easy for Atletico Madrid to stay behind on all fronts this season, and even lead the standings in the league. But the next schedule is quite dense. Atletico Madrid After all, there is no bench depth like Barcelona and Real Madrid, if you don’t make a timely choice, you may not get anything in the end.” Xu Yang said from the side.
In any case, Atletico Madrid still sent its strongest combat force at the Bernabéu Stadium.
Players from both sides have already lined up in the player tunnel. Li Qingshan is the second to last in the line, and Diego Costa is the last.
There is an unwritten saying that the captain is at the front of the team, the goalkeeper is the second, and the number one star is the last member of the team.
For example, the current Cristiano Ronaldo is standing at the back of the Real Madrid team, less than two meters behind Li Qingshan.
When the captains of both sides loudly reminded the players to enter the field, the two teams walked into the Bernabéu stadium at the same time.
In this game, Real Madrid also played the main force. The goalkeeper is Casillas, the back line is Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao, the midfielder Xavi Alonso, Mo Delici, Di Maria, and due to the absence of Bell's injury, Ancelotti's striker combination is Jesse, Benzema, and Ronaldo.
"Both sides have fielded their strongest squads and the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final looks like it's going to be a fight."
However, the trend of the game was a bit surprising.
Atletico Madrid started less than 10 minutes into the game, and Thiago was injured, and Simeone could only replace him with Christian Rodriguez.
There was attrition of players at the beginning, which seems to indicate that the balance of this game is not on Atletico Madrid's side.
Sure enough, in the No. 11 minute, Atletico Madrid was forced to make a substitution due to injury. In less than 2 minutes, Real Madrid scored the first goal.
Central defender Pepe blasted the goal from a long distance outside the penalty area. Judging from the line he drew the ball, the ball was a bad shot that was too far away.However, Insuya accidentally appeared on the line of the ball, and the football hit him, changed direction and flew into the goal.
Own goals!
Not long after the start, the main midfielder was injured and then scored an own goal.This kind of luck makes a tough guy like Simeone feel quite helpless.Not to mention the Atletico Madrid players on the field.
The morale of Real Madrid, which took the lead at home, was boosted, and they launched wave after wave of offensives, overwhelming Atletico Madrid.
The fans at the Bernabéu Stadium also applauded the performance of the Real Madrid superstars, which made the Real Madrid players even more excited.
From the start of the game, it was quite favorable to them.
It's just that Atletico Madrid's defense is also very solid. When Real Madrid attacked with all their strength, they shrunk the backcourt and successfully withstood Real Madrid's crazy offensive.
Subsequently, Atletico Madrid, which was one goal behind, was brewing a counterattack.
No. In the 208th minute, Li Qingshan pulled the ball out of the penalty area and passed it to the wing. Rodriguez, who came off the bench, made a direct cross.Li Qingshan pressed Ramos' head hammer and hit the goal.
Ramos is also a central defender with a very good header, but this time in the confrontation with Li Qingshan, he was completely at a disadvantage.
However, Li Qingshan's inevitable header bounced off Iker Casillas's head and was bounced back by the crossbar. Harvey Alonso, who returned to the penalty area, made a big kick forward to clear the siege.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!
Harvey Alonso's hasty clearance actually found Ronaldo's position directly, and the Portuguese superstar led the ball and sprinted away!
He quickly led the ball to the backcourt of Atletico Madrid.
Facing Juanfran's defense, he made an inward cut. After deceiving the opponent, he buckled his right foot and continued to kill outside.Then he volleyed directly with his left foot!
Courtois made a save and saved the ball.
However, the young player Hesse who followed up on the other side stepped in and scored with his left foot in front of the small penalty area!
Real Madrid took advantage of the counterattack to make another victory!
Atletico Madrid, two goals behind, began to look a little flustered.Atletico Madrid players who were eager to score goals began to make frequent pass errors, which gave Real Madrid several very threatening counterattack opportunities. If it weren't for Courtois's outstanding performance, it is estimated that Atletico Madrid has lost more balls now up.
Simeone made a gesture of pressing his hands down on the scene, signaling the players not to worry and stabilize.
After seeing his gesture, the Atletico Madrid players also slowly balanced their mentality.
In the first half of the game, Atletico Madrid returned to the dressing room with a two-goal deficit.
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Atletico Madrid's players still did not find their form, and the situation on the field was gradually fully controlled by Real Madrid.
Judging from the ball possession rate, Real Madrid's ball possession rate once exceeded 70.00%. It can be seen that Atletico Madrid is passive in this game.
Li Qingshan was helpless in the frontcourt. He did not get many chances to get the ball in this game, because Atletico Madrid did not pass the ball to the frontcourt effectively. The state of mind is getting more and more anxious.
No.601 minutes, Diego Costa hooked Di Maria from behind when he counterattacked in the frontcourt, and was warned by the referee with a yellow card, and Diego Costa, who received the third yellow card in the Copa del Rey, also meant He will be automatically suspended for one game in the next round of the Copa del Rey.
Misfortunes never come singly, No.703 minutes, Morata, who just came off the bench, tried to break through and was intercepted in the frontcourt, but then Godin also made a mistake in passing the ball forward, and was successfully countered by Di Maria, and then the Argentine played from the left In the pass, the football hit Miranda and flew into the goal, three to zero!
Another own goal!
"How should I say this? Two own goals in one game can only be said, Atletico Madrid's luck is too bad."
"Atletico Madrid's players are not in good condition, especially the players in the midfield. Frequent mistakes eventually led to this result."
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Atletico Madrid lost [-]-[-] to the Bernabeu.
