Chapter 53 Encouragement

The function of the lighthouse is not to provide illumination for passing ships on the dark sea. It is impossible for the light from the lighthouse to be used to illuminate the pitch-black sea. The role of the lighthouse is to provide directions for ships in the dark, so that sailors and fishermen who have just fought the storm can see the brightest star in the dark when they look up, so they know where the coast is and where their home is.

The lighthouse is the best spiritual comfort for them in the dark.

For every Atletico Madrid fan, the previous game was like encountering a storm at sea. The boat they were on was thrown up and down heavily by the waves, and they were always worried that the boat would capsize.

In such a dark and desperate time, when a wave went down, they suddenly saw a light point in the distance - it was a lighthouse!

The light of this lighthouse seems to be a sharp sword that can pierce the rainy night, bringing warmth and hope to the weary sailors.

As soon as they see the light from the lighthouse, everyone will think of dry and comfortable beds, delicious meals, and a solid land... Inspired by the lighthouse, everyone has the courage to overcome the storm and return home safely .

This is the importance of Gao Zheng's goal.

He is the hope of Atlético Madrid fans.

No matter how crazy the Real Madrid fans are, the few Atletico Madrid fans on the scene are screaming and cheering at the top of their throats.

The TV broadcast cut to Simeone in the box, and I saw that the suspended Atletico Madrid coach was waving his fist wildly. Looking at that posture, it really made people wonder if he would smash the glass of the box up...

On the sidelines of Atletico Madrid's coaching bench, Boggs, who replaced Simeone to direct the game, was also pumping his fists excitedly, looking no better than Simeone at all. Obviously having worked alongside Simeone on a regular basis, the rest of the coaching staff were also deeply influenced by him...

When Atlético de Madrid celebrated their goal wildly, Real Madrid appeared dumbfounded in the close-up shots one by one. Whether it was the coach Ancelotti or the Real Madrid players on the field, they all looked stunned. , it seems that they still don't believe that they are still behind after taking advantage...

Casillas even maintains the posture he had when the football flew into the goal-legs spread apart, but the left leg is obviously bent, the right leg is straight and kicked on the ground, the center of gravity of the body is biased to the left, but the head is turned to the right , watching the football fly into the direction of the goal.

Ramos, who was in the wall, turned his head and looked at the goal as soon as he landed.

Wanting to confirm the result of the ball, what he saw was Casillas like a sculpture and the football in the goal, so he also kept turning his head and turned into a statue.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who is also in the human wall, is more active than Ramos. As a member of the human wall, after Gao Zheng kicked the football, he jumped up to block it. He had already turned around and focused on the result of Gao Zheng's free kick.

So what did he see?

He saw the football fly into the goal.

After landing, he lost his temper like a child when he lost the ball.

He is really really angry.

Because he had two chances for free kicks in this game, he was only one step away from scoring a goal. Unexpectedly, Gao Zheng scored a free kick for the first time!

This damn fate!

Now in terms of the number of personal goals, he has one less Gao Zheng, and at the team level, Real Madrid where he is also lags behind Atletico Madrid where Gao Zheng is, and it is simply at a disadvantage...

If the game ended like this, then he can be said to have lost completely!

For Cristiano Ronaldo, who didn't regard Gao Zheng as his opponent in his heart, this result was a great shame.

He was led by an opponent he looked down upon, and it wasn't the first time that he lost to Gao Zheng once in the Spanish Super Cup.

But that time, he could still say that he was unable to fully exert his strength because of an injury.

So what about this time?

If he loses again this time, there is no excuse.

Cristiano Ronaldo clenched his fists, he won't let this happen!

After the restart, Real Madrid conceded a goal and once again launched a fierce attack on Atletico Madrid's goal, just like they did after the first conceded goal.

In order to strengthen the offense, Ancelotti also replaced Benzema, who had no outstanding performance, with "Little Pea" Hernandez.

However, Gao Zheng's two goals greatly boosted the morale of the Atletico Madrid players. This time, facing Real Madrid's fierce offensive, they were no longer just passively beaten.

On the contrary, they were able to play some decent counterattacks in addition to Real Madrid's attack to contain Real Madrid's pounce and let Real Madrid restrain itself a little.

And Atletico Madrid's counterattack really made it hard for Real Madrid.

It stands to reason that they should have come out with all their strength, striving to equalize the score at the last moment, or even reverse the victory.

But whenever their offense is about to rise, Atletico Madrid's counterattack can threaten the goal guarded by Casillas.

For example, Abeloa just passed the football into the penalty area of ​​Atletico Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo jumped up and headed the ball near the penalty spot, threatening Atletico Madrid's goal.

A minute later, Griezmann passed the ball to Gao Zheng. Gao Zheng shot a strong shot 16 meters from the left side of the penalty area, and it went slightly wide, threatening Real Madrid's goal.

Then Isco's long-range shot was ridiculously wide, and a minute later, Gao Zheng pulled to the side to pass, and Griezmann's rush to the top of the edge of the small penalty area turned out to be the highest.

The commentators can also see that Atletico Madrid today is completely different from Atletico Madrid who could only be beaten passively before.

Although they are only one goal ahead of Real Madrid, it stands to reason that this is a very dangerous score, but Atletico Madrid has the confidence to fight back against Real Madrid.

When the game entered the 80th minute, the game became more and more intense.

Real Madrid knew there were ten minutes left and they had to give everything. And Atletico Madrid also knows that as long as they can hold on to these ten minutes, they can beat their opponents at Real Madrid's home court for two consecutive seasons for the first time in history.

In the 81st minute, Cristiano Ronaldo's shot from the penalty spot had crossed goalkeeper Moya's ten fingers, but was headed out by Atletico Madrid central defender Miranda on the goal line.

Three minutes later Isco passed the ball and Toni Kroos fired a shot over the bar.

In the 86th minute, Gao Zheng often came to help the team get the ball during the retreat, but was kicked to the ground by Modric from behind.

His move caused dissatisfaction among the Atletico Madrid players. Mario Suarez took the lead in defending Gao Zheng—he pushed Modric away, almost pushing Modric to the ground.

Mario Suarez's move immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of other Real Madrid players. They were suffocated when they were behind in the score, and Suarez's move ignited their anger even more.

Immediately, several Real Madrid players gathered around and accused Mario Suarez of his actions.

But that's actually exactly what Atlético would like to get because they're leading now, and this conflict is bound to eat up game time, which is of course in their favour.

The commentator Jose Maria said: "The Real Madrid players are really dazzled by anger. You have to figure out who needs time more now. Is it meaningful to argue with the opponent? Yes, Mali Ou Suarez deserved a yellow card for his impulsiveness, but for the price of just one yellow card, Atletico Madrid won this game, isn't it too cheap?"

Ray Hudson even pointedly pointed out that this matter was planned by Atletico Madrid: "I think Mario Suarez came up to fight against Gao, maybe not just because of his teammates, but more because of their coach. Simeone's arrangement, this is not the first time this controversial head coach has done this. In order to win, he can say that he will do everything possible... I think Ancelotti's team has paid so much with Simeone After the second hand, you should know this, but unfortunately, under the impatience of falling behind, the Real Madrid players completely lost their IQ..."

In the end, the conflict lasted three minutes. Modric received a yellow card for fouling, and Mario Suarez, who pushed Modric up and caused a riot, also received a yellow card. Miranda also received a yellow card during the conflict. There was an excessive action and was shown a yellow card by the referee Laos.

Although it is true that Atletico Madrid got more yellow cards, the game time was wasted for three minutes. Even if the referee can make up for these three minutes in the subsequent stoppage time, the emotions of the Real Madrid players and The mentality is also completely different.

At the end of the game, Atletico Madrid even had a chance to expand the score.

At that time, the goalkeeper Moya kicked the ball with a big kick, and Griezmann shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area and the result was wide.

At the last moment of the game, Cork blocked Real Madrid's last counterattack with a foul, and he received a yellow card for this.

The Real Madrid players were very dissatisfied with the penalty. They believed that Cork should receive a red card. Although his foul action was small, the foul was of great significance. The yellow card was not enough to calm the anger of the Real Madrid players.

Atletico Madrid accepted it as soon as it was good, and did not argue with the referee and Real Madrid players.

Of course, the referee Laos did not change his penalty, so Cork received his eleventh yellow card in the game - seven from Atletico Madrid and four from Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid used these seven yellow cards as a price to win the away game against Real Madrid and won the three-game winning streak at the beginning of the league!
