All-around center

After the last day of training, Real Madrid had a little run-in and waited for the start of the second half of the season.

During the winter break, Real Madrid also introduced some players.

The most important transfer was Diego Lopez. Real Madrid traded the goalkeeper of Sevilla to serve as a substitute after Casillas' injury.

Adam's performance was not satisfactory, so a goalkeeper must replace this position.

As for Casillas, Real Madrid said that he was injured and could not play, but in fact everyone knew that he was suppressed by Mourinho.

As soon as Mourinho left, Casillas recovered like a medical miracle.

Real Madrid also stated that Casillas will serve as the main goalkeeper in the second half of the season and continue to play for the team.

The only embarrassing thing is that Casillas failed to resume his captaincy and was still treated coldly by Real Madrid. It is estimated that some people have guessed that Real Madrid used Casillas to squeeze out his last value and sell him at a good price.

But no matter what, Casillas is back. Judging from the recent running-in, although his form has declined a bit, his fighting spirit is high.

As for Diego Lopez, he is the second substitute goalkeeper of Real Madrid, and Adam is the third substitute goalkeeper.

In fact, Real Madrid intends to take Costa Rican goalkeeper Navas, who plays for Levante.

In this way, they can play a role in running-in and sell Casillas at a good price by alternating goalkeepers for half a season.

However, Navas is currently performing well, Levante does not accept Real Madrid's offer, and Navas himself hopes to consider it after playing this season, so it is nothing.

Of course, Real Madrid also put Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Courtois in the ranks of attention, but the latter is more determined to stay in Atletico Madrid.

Courtois is scheming.

He even joined Real Madrid now, and he can't be the first goalkeeper, and he will definitely be suppressed by Casillas.

It's better to take this opportunity to please the club and fans.

Sure enough, Courtois's speech made him a fighter for Atletico Madrid, which helped him gain a lot of fame and popularity.

The most important thing is that Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid at home in the first game of the second half of the season.

This is the first time Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have met in the league this season.

At the beginning of the season, they played in the European Super Cup, and Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 2:1 and won the championship.

But that game was not easy, and Atletico Madrid also felt the signal that Real Madrid could win.

In addition, before Christmas, Atletico Madrid's outstanding performance also boosted their morale.

They have ambitions for this game.

Unlike before, they came to the Bernabeu Stadium with the idea of ​​a draw, but to win three points away from home.

"As we all know, Real Madrid is facing many problems now. Their state is not stable, and the temporary change of coach has provided us with opportunities. Now is the best time for us to defeat Real Madrid. We will play a good enough game to give back to our fans!"

Facing the camera, Simeone, nicknamed "bandit coach", answered the question with a serious face.

In the locker room of the Real Madrid training base in the morning, Suker and others saw Simeone's interview.

"Atletico Madrid is not easy to play against, and their defense is hard to break."

"We can use new tactics! Atletico Madrid can't react to this confusing tactic."

"Use it now? Shouldn't we wait for more important games?"

"Use it directly! What are you waiting for? We haven't tested it yet, so we can try it out!"

Everyone quickly discussed it and almost didn't ask for Redpu's opinion.

Of course, the latter had no opinion!

He was just a decoration!

The same concept!

Zidane was higher than him in terms of speaking power.

"Okay, let's try it." Zidane clapped his hands; "Guys, remember, you are the best!"

Zidane's signature encouragement method.

At noon, some players simply ate some lunch, but some players didn't eat at all in order to maintain their condition.

Suker ate two bananas to top it up, then packed his equipment and got into the bus.

The bus full of Real Madrid players drove towards the Bernabeu Stadium.

The second half of the season is a watershed, and the next games are all tough matches.

Other teams have almost completed the running-in in the first half of the season.

Real Madrid has been fighting internally in the first half of the season, so its condition is worse.

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. With their foundation and lineup strength, they still retain a lot of combat effectiveness.

The problem now is nothing more than tactical arrangements and Zidane's on-the-spot command.

The Bernabeu Stadium is still very lively after Christmas.

The fierce cheers swept away the slightly cold temperature, and even a hint of warmth could be felt in the stadium.

During the warm-up stage, Suk turned his head and looked at Atletico Madrid's half.

He could feel that the other side's eyes were full of strong fighting spirit and confidence in victory.

These Atletico Madrid players are indeed qualified to show such eyes, after all, they performed very well.

However, they forgot how they suppressed them.

If you forget, just forget it!

He'll make them think again!

Regarding Atletico Madrid, Suker still implemented the previous policy and suppressed it all the way to the end!

The warm-up session ended, and after completing the final preparations in the locker room, they entered from the player tunnel.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Real Madrid (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Srna, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielder: Bale, Casemiro, Kroos, Khedira, Suker.

Forward: Benzema.

Atletico Madrid (4-4-2);

Goalkeeper: Courtois.

Defenders: Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Felipe.

Midfielder: Turan, Mario Suarez, Gabi, Koke.

Forwards: Diego Costa, Falcao.

"Both strikers of Atletico Madrid cannot be underestimated." Srna said with a solemn expression.

Falcao and Costa are different types of forwards.

But they all have efficient scoring abilities.

At present, Atletico Madrid's offense is still more biased towards Falcao, advancing with Falcao as the center and trying to score goals.

But once Real Madrid stifles Calcao's performance, Atletico Madrid will immediately transform into another set of positional battles.

That is the famous Costa's 'post-up'.

With his beast-like figure and confrontation ability, Costa is a powerful threat when he can hold the opponent's defender and turn around to shoot.

Real Madrid's defense must be wary of this attacking pattern.

In this game, Real Madrid still played the tactical system left by Mourinho.

Ledep and Zidane did not dictate this aspect.

They know that their current abilities are not enough, so they naturally continue Mourinho's tactics.

However, compared to Mourinho himself, their utilization was still not thorough enough, but fortunately, they also figured out some new things that they could try out in the game.

Zidane rubbed his hands nervously.

It's obviously the same scene. He stood here many times as a player, but his status is different. Now he comes to the court as a coach to start a new challenge for him.

"Let me take a good look!"

Zidane took a deep breath.

At this time, in the arena, the players from both sides had already stood still.

Atletico Madrid took the lead.

The whistle sounded.

Falcao kicked off, Costa returned the pass, and the game began.

“This is the 18th round of La Liga in the 2012/2013 season, Real Madrid’s home game against Atletico Madrid!”

"This is also a game between the second place in the La Liga standings and the third place. The point difference between the two teams is only one point. The outcome of this game will also determine the ranking in the standings!"

"On Christmas Eve, Atletico Madrid received great praise for their outstanding performance. On the other hand, Real Madrid suffered a loss of strength due to some internal problems. We are all curious about what kind of performance these two teams can play. Let’s wait and see about the competition!”

In the words of commentator Gonzalez, Real Madrid players suddenly sprinted forward to press high.

Atletico Madrid is also very experienced. When the pressure reached a certain level, center back Godin suddenly made a long pass to Costa and launched an attack attempt.

Atletico Madrid doesn’t want the ball!

Especially when competing with teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona for midfield and players, you don't even know how to die.

Therefore, make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and try simpler attacks.

However, Real Madrid seemed to have expected this. Before the ball hit the ground, Casemiro had already interfered with Costa. Although he could not completely restrict it, it had already played a role in interference.

Ramos suddenly moved forward, jumped for the top, and once again pushed the ball into the opponent's half.

During the confrontation, Cross used his forehead to throw the ball to the feet of Suker on the side.

Three figures suddenly appeared next to Su Ke, but he reacted quickly and immediately kicked the ball without any hesitation.

"Watch him!"

Godin shouted from behind.

When playing against Real Madrid, keeping an eye on Suker is the key.

If Suker is allowed to play, they will eventually be kicked into a hornet's nest.

The ball fell to Real Madrid and Kroos passed the ball towards Suker again.

Suker made a cross pass and passed it to Benzema.

This made Atletico Madrid players miss, but they still did not relax their defense.

Benzema continues to pass back, and the rhythm is also developing in the direction of stable testing.

This is no different from previous games.

Fans and commentators are also patiently waiting for the moment of change of rhythm. After all, after the test, Real Madrid will inevitably change its rhythm suddenly.

Sure enough, in about 10 minutes, Real Madrid ended the test and began to attack from the wing.

Interestingly, Real Madrid did not choose the left wing, but attacked on Bale's right wing.

boom!

Bell took a deep kick and used his speed to lead by half a body.

While galloping, he paid attention to Benzema's position. When approaching the bottom line, he swept his feet sharply.

Godin appeared on the ball's path and pushed the ball away.

The ball landed in the rib area on the right side. Atletico Madrid midfielder Gabi rushed towards the landing point, but someone was one step faster than him.

Srna appeared in the flank area, turned with the ball, and passed the ball to Bale at the side again.

Bale tried several feints and passed the ball back to Srna in the flank area again.

Srna received the ball and turned around, looking at Kroos and Suker.

When he felt that Gabi was taken away by him, he pulled the ball and turned again, and still ran to pass it to Bale.

Bale tried to lob the ball to the middle, Suker competed with Benzema for the header, but Miranda headed the ball away.

The landing point of the ball was still not good, and it was first controlled by Kroos.

Kroos faced the ball and pushed it directly forward to Suker.

Immediately, Atletico Madrid's defense line was facing a great enemy.

But Suker passed the ball back lightly and picked the ball out again.

After picking the ball, Suker retreated slowly.

So far, Suker has only touched the ball five times, and all of them were one-touch.

"Suker didn't stick to the ball or dribble. Is this Real Madrid's new tactic?" Gonzalez was a little surprised.

In the past, when Real Madrid played, Mourinho always used Suker as a charging warrior.

The left wing is also the main offensive line of Real Madrid.

In this game, Suker played a little carelessly?

The players of Atletico Madrid were also a little confused. Suker played too casually.

As if he had not woken up, he always touched the ball with one foot, and there was no sharp breakthrough before.

However, they still did not dare to relax their vigilance against Suker.

At the 14th minute, Kroos suddenly passed the ball to the side.

Suker stood in the rib area, with only one defensive player next to him.

"Left!"

"Transfer!"

"Quick, quick, quick!"

Atletico Madrid rushed to the left, they could not let Suker break through along the rib area.

Real Madrid fans also looked up in surprise.

They were looking forward to Suker's performance!

But the next second, it was a surprise.

Suker stood there, just staring at the ball passing in front of him.

The ball was not even one meter away from Suker, and he could reach it with just one foot.

But Suker had no intention of catching the ball, and it just slipped past.

"What's Suker doing?"

Just as Gonzalez was about to speak, Marcelo suddenly appeared on the left wing, met the ball that Suker had slipped past, and passed it directly to the penalty area.

"Fuck!"

"What is this?"

Godin and Miranda retreated quickly, they wanted to catch up with Benzema who was advancing.

Benzema suddenly fell to the ground, slid diagonally, raised his right foot, and the ball hit his foot and flew towards the ball.

"Benzema!!!"

Gonzalez exclaimed.

But a pair of big hands suddenly appeared and slapped the ball out.

"Ah~~~ Courtois saved the ball, this ball"

Gonzalez saw the ball rolling towards the middle penalty area line, and there, a white figure appeared like a ghost.

Facing the ball bouncing on the ground, he shot with his right foot.

The ball rubbed the grass, forming a straight line, and went into the lower right corner of the goal.

"Oh oh..oh~~~Oh my god!!! Goal!!!!!!--"

Gonzalez was too shocked to react, but he saw the goal for sure.

Suker appeared at the supplementary shooting point like a ghost, and completed the shot with superb shooting skills.

"Goal! Goal! Goal! Suker!!"

"We were still wondering if Suker's performance was not active enough in the last second, but the next second, he still scored a goal!"

"I don't know what happened, why did Suker appear there?"

The replay camera appeared and just locked Suker.

Everyone looked over with wide eyes.

After Suker missed the ball, he suddenly started when Marcelo made a lob pass.

After shaking off Mario Suarez with explosive power, he just appeared near the rebound of the ball, and then made a supplementary shot into the net.

The whole process of scoring was very strange!

It was a bit like a guess!

A bit of luck!

But Real Madrid did get the goal.

Suker smiled and rushed to the corner area to celebrate, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, Inzaghi and these clumsy defenders are a perfect match!

One drill and one accurate!

With a sense of smell in front of the goal and sharp running position, Suker has explosive power and speed that Inzaghi doesn't have. He is simply a PLUS version of an assassin killer!

That's it, how can you stop him?

Zidane on the sidelines also applauded, and sighed;

"I feel that Suker without the ball is more terrifying than Suker with the ball!"

Suker with the ball, at least he can target him and know that he can create a threat.

But if Suker doesn't have the ball, when and where this guy will shoot, it is impossible to predict.

In addition, Suker's explosive power and speed make him very capable of getting rid of the ball without the ball.

The opponent is behind at the start, what can stop him?

Suarez received a slightly complaining look from his teammates.

But he was also frustrated!

Who knows where Suker will suddenly run to? He was distracted for a short time. After all, when watching Marcelo's pass, everyone would subconsciously follow the pass.

But Suker used this opportunity to get rid of him.

But even if his attention was always on Suker, could he stop Suker?

Unless it was a foul!

Suarez knew that he could not keep up with Suker's start.

Unless there is a foul, Suker can't be stopped.

And the most critical problem is that before Benzema shot, Suker ran towards there. Who knows where the second landing point is!

But mistakes are mistakes!

Not watching is not watching!

Suarez will not find excuses.

The game started again soon.

Then, Real Madrid's attack was a bit messed up.

"Bale! This ball should be passed!"

"What kind of pass is Benzema's?

"Marcelo, why did he run here, what is he doing? Good ball!"

Seeing Marcelo suddenly pass the ball and almost help Benzema to score with a shovel shot, Gonzalez suddenly changed his words.

Although the kick was rough, or unreasonable, it seemed to be very effective.

"However, I feel that the Real Madrid players need to calm down. They play too chaotically, and sometimes they will overlap and two people run together! This is something that must be vigilant. "

Gonzalez frowned.

It felt like this Real Madrid team was a bit erratic in its play.

It didn't have that steady feeling, it felt like it was floating, swaying left and right and ready to fall at any time, which was very distressing.
