"A frontcourt free kick from Real Madrid."

"This is a very good opportunity. We saw Yang Yang standing at the free throw point."

"Run forward quickly and get a free kick!"

"Courtova flew to the right of the goal..."

"The ball is in!!!"

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"

"In the 23rd minute, Yang Yang pierced through Atletico Madrid's goal with a direct free kick!"

"It was a very wonderful direct free kick to score."

"We saw Yang Yang rushing out of the stadium excitedly and rushing directly to the sidelines to celebrate. Real Madrid players also rushed out. Everyone knows how important it is to score the first goal in the game against Atletico Madrid."

...

Real Madrid fans at the entire Bernabeu Stadium rushed out of the seats frantically, shouting Yang Yang's name.

Yang Yang quickly rushed out of the stadium, rushed to the sidelines, and punched the Real Madrid fans in the stands, venting his inner excitement and excitement, but was soon surrounded by his teammates who followed him.

This is a crucial goal.

After taking the lead in breaking the Atletico Madrid goal, Real Madrid will play more steadily and patiently. If the Bedding Legion wants to win or equalize the score, they will have to give up their own iron walls and take the initiative to attack.

And this is Real Madrid's opportunity.

For Real Madrid, they are not afraid of Atletico Madrid, which takes the initiative, but are more worried about the bed sheet army that is strictly guarding.

...

"Let's watch the slow-motion replay of this free kick again."

"Yang Yang's free throw arc was beautiful. He walked around the wall and directly oriented towards the upper right corner of the goal."

"Courtova made a judgment and rushed over."

"We saw that the ball had a very obvious drop in the air, which made the ball almost rub the angle between the beam and the post and drilled into the Atletico Madrid goal. This was an absolute blind spot!"

"Although Courtois was prepared for a long time, he was still powerless to do anything like this, because it was a dead end."

"We have to admit that this is a very skilled direct free kick. Yang Yang has scored a direct free kick many times this season. It seems that his free throw style and feeling are very smooth now."

"I believe that after tonight, all teams that are about to face Real Madrid will have to carefully consider one issue, that is, to minimize fouls at the front of the penalty area. Once Yang Yang is given a chance to have a straight free kick in this area, his shooting percentage will be very high."

...

Simeone sat in the visiting team coach's seat. After seeing Yang Yang hit the free throw, he slapped his thigh with both hands and sighed helplessly. Obviously, he was mentally prepared for this result.

From the time he guessed Ancelotti's intentions, he knew it was dangerous.

It is impossible to have a football game without fouls, especially two teams such as Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

To curb Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid must adopt a more aggressive, commonly known as the rough kicking style to limit the opponent, which will definitely cause fouls.

In this game, Atletico Madrid's players have been very restrained and try to reduce fouls at the front of the penalty area. However, they cannot withstand Real Madrid's group of players with outstanding personal abilities, including Yang Yang, Hazard, Isco and Di Maria. They are pressing Atletico Madrid in front and fouls against them is essential.

"This guy will not fall for a day. We want to defeat Real Madrid... it's difficult!" Simeone said with a deep frown.

Why didn't Boggs think so?

But reality is a bit cruel.

"He is only twenty-seven years old in half a month, and at least he can play for a few more years." Boggs smiled bitterly.

Simeone was speechless about this, and he believed that this was also a doubt for everyone in the world.

That is how long can Yang Yang maintain his peak state?

You should know that from Ajax's rise to Liverpool's full maturity, Yang Yang has maintained his peak for seven years so far, which has never been seen in the history of professional football.

No one has ever been able to provide the team with stable goals every season like Yang Yang, with more than fifty goals, which is quite desperate, and he is also particularly comprehensive.

It was like in this game that Atletico Madrid made targeted defensive arrangements for him, limiting his feet and cutting off his connection with his teammates around him, but he broke through Atletico Madrid's goal with a direct free kick opportunity.

How to defend such a player?

Simeone, who was once a top player, knew very well that no one could stop Yang Yang except time and injuries!

Simeone turned her head and looked at Courtois in front of his team's goal.

The Belgian goalkeeper, who is only 21 years old, is still very young, but is favored by everyone. He is very arrogant, but now he looks a little weak. Obviously, Yang Yang's direct free kick just now hit him quite a big blow.

...

Unlike the visiting coach's seat, the home team coach's seat was very happy because of Yang Yang's goal.

Ancelotti smiled even more and nodded, and kept saying, "I knew, I always knew that Yang Yang would not disappoint. As long as he was given a chance, he would be punished."

Zidane, who was standing by, obviously agreed very much, "He has scored several direct free kicks in a row this season, and his feet are very smooth. If Atletico Madrid fouls again next, he probably can get another penalty."

At the end of the day, Zidane couldn't help laughing.

If Yang Yang continues to punish like this, Atletico Madrid will lose badly.

However, with a goal scored in the 23rd minute, Real Madrid temporarily took the lead, so the next game would be much easier.

"We should change our tactics appropriately, play steadily, be patient, and let Atletico Madrid push it out by itself." Ancelotti smiled sly.

Zidane also laughed, but he was secretly amused in his heart.

Who said Ancelotti was an honest Italian fat man?

This guy is very sensible and understands the abacus better than anyone else. He is also very good at grasping the timing. It would be fine if he doesn't give him the initiative. Once he seizes the opportunity, it will be difficult to turn the tables.

In fact, this is also a characteristic of Ancelotti coaching.

He has suffered a crushing defeat, but has been learning from lessons. The same major mistake will not happen again, but he has never been good at leading the team to play against the trend.

It can be said that this is Ancelotti's biggest shortcoming in his coaching career, but this does not prevent him from becoming the world's top tactical master, because who has no shortcomings?

Even among players, players as comprehensive as Yang Yang can almost be said to be unique.

…………

…………

With Yang Yang's goal, Real Madrid players began to stabilize their position according to Ancelotti's pre-match arrangement, control the ball rights and rhythm, and use technical midfielders to pull and mobilize Atletico Madrid.

The bed sheet army did not dare to push forward blindly.

According to data, ten minutes after the goal is the peak period for both sides to score.

Atletico Madrid is a mature team, so naturally he is very clear that blindly pressing on the counterattack will eventually only fall into Real Madrid's trap and be defeated by Real Madrid's repeated counterattacks, which is not worth the loss.

Moreover, they are only 20 minutes in the first half, and there is still a lot of time to play, and they are only one ball behind. There is still a rest time in the midfield, so they are very calm and do not rush.

This also makes the game a little dull.

Real Madrid created two goals after leading the goal, one was Isco's straight pass. Yang Yang pushed the ball from the outside of the small penalty area and was rushed by goalkeeper Courtois. In the 32nd minute, Marcelo made a long pass and Yang Yang pulled away the defensive player. Isco inserted a single shot, but was sentenced to offside.

Isco was very dissatisfied with the penalty and repeatedly said that he had seen it very clearly before the start that he and the Atletico Madrid players were on the same starting line and there was no offside at all.

In addition to these two opportunities, the subsequent games in the first half were boring.

Real Madrid seeks stability after scoring the goal, but Atletico Madrid is not actively pressing. It would be strange if such a game is good.

...

During the halftime break, Ancelotti reminded everyone that Atletico Madrid will counterattack in the second half, and the most likely is the start of the second half, where they will launch a snatch.

"Simone is a very stable head coach. He will not blindly pin his hopes at the last moment. He will try to grab a goal first, equalize the score before seeking stability, let us take the initiative to attack."

Unlike the previous Spanish Super Cup, it was a two-leg game. If Atletico Madrid drew 0 to 0 away with Real Madrid, although the total score was less away, both sides would have to enter overtime, so Simeone dared to attack from the 75th minute.

But the situation in this game is different. Real Madrid is now leading by one goal, and Atletico Madrid can't afford to bet.

As long as Simeone wants to win, he must launch a rush attack. When is the key?

"For us, this is both a test, but also a training. Atletico Madrid's offense is not as bad as rumored by the outside world. Their defense is too strong to ignore their offense. Pay special attention to Diego Costa, the player is like a poisonous snake."

None of the defenders who have dealt with Diego Costa will like him because this guy plays dirty.

Of course, from Atletico Madrid's perspective, he played very smartly.

Ancelotti also reminded players that they must pay attention to strengthening interception in the midfield, especially against Isco.

In the first half, Real Madrid gave Isco a lot of freedom, and even let him play freely behind Yang Yang, which completely released Isco's advantage, but this could not be done in the second half, and Isco even had to actively return to defense.

...

At the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid indeed strengthened its counterattack.

The players were still the same eleven players, but Simeone obviously asked the team to strengthen the offense. One obvious change was that the two full-backs, Felipe and Juan Fran, were more active in forwarding.

The forward pass of the full-back not only provides width for the mid-front offense, but also increases the pressing of the mid-front court.
