Ball king grower

Defeating Athletic Bilbao in an away game and taking all three points is another hurdle for Real Madrid, because Bilbao is a team that is really difficult to deal with, tenacious and difficult, a bit

Like the Bundesliga team, and this team once dominated the Spanish Football League.

You must know that this team was the first to collect the King's Cup trophy, and there was a real bloodbath against Barcelona back then. Although their strength has not been as good as before in recent years, they still insist on their football legacy without being humble or overbearing.

Road, tenacious and confident.

Being able to beat such a team would be a great thing to boost Real Madrid's confidence again. After all, losing to Schalke 04 away in the Champions League knockout round was really shocking.

At present, Real Madrid has only two draws and no losses in the 22nd round. It can be said that it has a remarkable record, with a total of 62 points. Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, has one draw and two losses, losing both games.

It was a loss to Real Madrid, and the draw was a tie with Atletico Madrid. Looking at it this way, Barcelona's performance this season is actually quite stable. The key is that Real Madrid is too tough.

Barcelona currently has 58 points, four points less than Real Madrid. Although this is not a big gap, in a league like La Liga, it is difficult to catch up.

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid currently has a record of one draw and one loss, scoring 60 points, only two points less than Real Madrid and two points more than Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid drew with Barcelona and lost with Real Madrid. The competition between Atletico Madrid and these two clubs in the second half of the season has not yet begun. Therefore, there are still many variables in the top three. As the leader

Real Madrid, the sheep, must not be taken lightly.

But overall, Real Madrid's hope of winning the championship is quite high. Therefore, Real Madrid fans are also full of confidence and have not lost confidence because of a defeat in the Champions League knockout round. After all, there is still an away goal. As long as they return to the home court

It's just a matter of pulling it back when the time comes.

…

After playing the league match with Athletic Bilbao, Real Madrid encountered another powerful opponent, Atletico Madrid, a regular winner of the Copa del Rey.

And precisely, today's game is also a Copa del Rey game, because the opponent is relatively strong. Lippi specially arranged for Lin Yu to play, and the rest of the lineup basically used the original substitute lineup.

The two wingers are Morata and Di Maria, Benzema is still the forward, and Lin Yu plays the attacking midfielder role. After all, he has played this position before, so Lippi can rest assured to let him take on the important task.

As for the defensive midfielder, Modric and Casemiro are partnered, the four defenders are Nacho, Pepe, Ramos and Arbeloa, and the goalkeeper is Diego Lopez.

Ramos is the only main player besides Lin Yu. However, as the deputy team, he did not wear the captain's armband today. Instead, he personally put the armband on Lin Yu's arm.

The influence of the Copa del Rey is of course much lower than that of the League and Champions League. In addition, the relationship between Lin Yu and Atlético Madrid fans is not that bad. Unlike the fans of Barcelona, ​​​​which have completely stalemate, so the game

The verbal battle that former media reporters expected to see did not materialize.

Even before the game started, Real Madrid coach Lippi and Atletico Madrid coach Simeone exchanged a friendly hug in the tunnel.

The atmosphere before the game was so good, but once on the court, the two teams would not show mercy.

Atletico Madrid has always been a regular winner of the Copa del Rey. In the days when they were unable to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the championship, their main goal was the Copa del Rey. In fact, it has not changed now, so they are absolutely unwilling to lose to their own city.

of the team.

Although Real Madrid does not take the King's Cup that seriously, that was before. Now Real Madrid urgently needs a championship to rebuild its confidence. Naturally, even if it is the King's Cup, it is absolutely unwilling to let it go, so Lippi let Lin Yu

You can see the clues by looking at this incident.

What's more, the King's Cup is different from the league. The league has a points system. Even if you lose a game, you can still find advantages from other games. The King's Cup is different. Although the rules are very complicated, it is generally considered to be two rounds of home and away games.

elimination system.

Everyone knows that once you lose the score in two rounds, you will be completely eliminated, and you will no longer have the opportunity to find an advantage in other games. You can imagine the cruelty of the elimination system.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid met so early in this year's Copa del Rey. It was actually an accident, but I believe neither team would give up easily.

…

The Bernabeu Stadium was suddenly filled with people. Everyone stood up, clapped and cheered.

They shouted the same person's name: "Benzema! Benzema!"

Yes, Benzema scored a goal, and it was Lin Yu, the temporary guest midfielder, who assisted him!

The players of Real Madrid were celebrating on the field. Everyone was huddled together and seemed very excited. Although this is not the Champions League, being able to take the lead against a strong team is a blessing anyway.

This goal was scored by Benzema in the opening 18 minutes. It was a beautiful shot in front of the goal. Of course, although Lin Yu did not score the goal, he initiated the goal and assisted Benzema.

Zema scored.

Although Atletico Madrid's players were heavily guarded and wanted to stop Lin Yu, Lin Yu's dazzling foot skills, as beautiful as arranging flowers, stunned his opponents. In the midfield, he used a back-up move.

When he got the chance to get the ball, Cruyff suddenly turned around and successfully deceived Atletico Madrid's defender. While turning around, he also passed the ball to Benzema.

Benzema suddenly came forward, fired a shot in front of the goal, and the ball hit the net!

Real Madrid leads 1:0.

…

However, Atletico Madrid was not easy to deal with. Real Madrid's lead did not last long. Atletico Madrid forward Diego Costa's long-range shot hit Ramos' body.

There was a sudden refraction. He deceived Diego Lopez and tied the score to 1:1.

Speaking of Diego Costa. This player almost went to Chelsea last season, but later because Atletico Madrid refused to let him go, the business could not be negotiated. At that time, Diego Costa himself said that he would stay in La Liga.

Just to have more opportunities to interact with Lin Yu.

At that time, Diego Costa even regarded Lin Yu as an opponent that he must defeat. Unfortunately, after Lin Yu came to La Liga, his performance exceeded many people's expectations. He hardly needed any adaptation time.

, he started a crazy scoring journey when he came to La Liga, which made Diego Costa both envious and speechless. However, as a young man, he still refused to admit defeat, so as long as he met Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid

During the competition, he works particularly hard.

After he helped the team equalize the score today, he walked up to Lin Yu and patted his chest, showing a particularly proud and provocative tone.

Atletico Madrid fans are of course happy that their leading striker can score goals. They also feel that at least during this period, Diego Costa has surpassed Lin Yu.

…

Because at this stage, the Copa del Rey is a home and away elimination system. Therefore, Atletico Madrid can score a goal in the away game, which is a very big advantage for them, but it is not so good for Real Madrid. They lost at home.

Ball, this is the most troublesome.

Atletico Madrid is very smart. They don't seek to win on the road. As long as they can get away goals or try to draw with Real Madrid. Then when it comes to home, they can use the home court advantage to launch a final assault on Real Madrid and eliminate Real Madrid.

hope will be greatly increased.

Real Madrid must try to avoid this situation. They must not only concede as few goals as possible in the away game, but also score as many goals as possible and defeat Atletico Madrid. In this way, they can have more goals after going to the away game.

Advantages and confidence, otherwise it will be difficult to play away games.

However, it is a pity that the game did not seem to go according to Real Madrid's wishes. Until the end of the first half, the score was still a 1:1 draw.

Even in the second half, the two sides changed sides and played for more than 20 minutes, but the score was still 1:1. This made Lippi feel a little angry, so he replaced Morata with Cristiano Ronaldo and replaced Khedira with

Replaced Casemiro and prepared to seize the last few dozen minutes to win the game.

Although Morata performed well in this game, he is not a professional winger after all. He always feels that his playing is a bit nondescript. The replacement of Cristiano Ronaldo is completely different. Ronaldo is not only a professional winger, but more importantly

, he has a very high level of tacit understanding with Lin Yu and Benzema.

This substitution soon had an effect. When the game lasted for 75 minutes, Lin Yu and Cristiano Ronaldo had a dazzling one-on-one cooperation, passing and receiving multiple times, and Madrid were defeated.

The Athletic's defense was completely overwhelmed, and finally Lin Yu volleyed in front of the goal, and the ball hit the goal quickly and accurately.

The score was rewritten to 2:1, with Real Madrid leading at home. However, this score was still unsatisfactory for Lippi, who wanted to establish a home advantage.

After all, Atlético Madrid's home court is not easy to mess with. If we go there with such a score, I'm afraid it will still be a disaster.

Lin Yu seemed to know what Lippi was thinking, so after scoring the goal, he simply hugged Cristiano Ronaldo, and then quickly walked to the midfield with the ball in his arms.

Regardless of whether he scores a goal in the next game, as the team's captain, he wants to help the team gain a greater advantage.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone hurriedly replaced Villa, who was not performing well, and then strengthened his defense. For Simeone, the current score is still acceptable.

But Real Madrid must not be allowed to expand the score again. In that case, it will be difficult to play at home.

But Diego Simeone's substitution played into Lippi's hands. Although there was nothing wrong with this substitution and it was timely, without an offensive player, Atletico Madrid's offense dropped significantly.

Come, Real Madrid can devote more troops to the attack, and gradually gain the advantage.

Di Maria, who had never made any achievements, became aggressive at this time. He attacked Atletico Madrid's defense many times and turned the defense upside down.

But Simeone only has a few cards in his hand, and he can no longer make any more adjustments, so he can only hope that his players can hold on to the last less than twenty minutes, and at the same time, he hopes that Diego

-Costa can take the opportunity to counterattack and score another goal. As long as he scores another goal, the advantage will be even greater, and a big stone in his heart will fall to the ground.

…

There was a stalemate in the game for a period of time. Real Madrid fans in the stands kept cheering for their team, because the fans also understood that the current score was actually very unsafe, in case the opponent scored a goal in the final stage.

, then the score of 2:2 will make Real Madrid very uncomfortable, and the newly restored self-confidence will most likely be directly destroyed by this.

What's more, even if the final score is 2:1 and Real Madrid wins, it doesn't mean much. Such a score is still very troublesome in an away game. (To be continued...)
