In the second half of the game, the two sides switched sides and fought again.
Atlético Madrid was more aggressive than in the first half, while Real Madrid tried to control the pace of the game.
Torres knocked down Qin Xiong at the beginning of the game. It seemed reckless, but it actually announced that Atlético Madrid would continue the crazy tactics of the first half in the second half.
As Qin Xiong completed a pass and a shot in the first half, it was bound to make him a thorn in Atlético Madrid's defense.
In the 54th minute of the game, due to the lack of support behind the middle, Qin Xiong could only use the side as a breakthrough to advance the offense. He and Raúl played a quick, smooth, and delicate cooperation on the left side. After the ball came to the end line, Qin Xiong suddenly swept the ball to the front of the goal. Van Nistelrooy was still almost able to touch the ball to form a shot, but Pablo beat him to the ball and poked the ball out of the end line.
Van Nistelrooy's condition still did not improve.
Atlético Madrid's offense in the second half was still dominated by the side.
In the 57th minute of the game, M. Rodriguez received Mani and cut inside from the side after passing the ball to the middle. Torres retreated back to receive and completed a cross switch with Aguero. The cross switch between the forwards was more to confuse the defensive line and tear the space in the movement.
M. Rodriguez passed the ball to Torres, and Torres faced the frontal defense of his fellow Spaniard, Ramos.
The Real Madrid fans in the stands were extremely depressed.
Emerson, where the f * ck are you?
The agile Torres dribbled diagonally in front of Ramos to break through. Ramos turned around and immediately blocked. At this moment, Torres suddenly covered his face and fell to the ground. Ramos passed the ball to Torres to announce that the alarm was lifted, but he heard the referee's whistle.
Looking back, the referee ran in front of him and showed him a second yellow card. Then, a dazzling red card flashed in front of him!
Ramos was shocked and angry. He wanted to go to Torres immediately, but Torres was surrounded by Atlético Madrid players. It looked like they were protecting him.
Ramos pointed at Torres angrily and scolded, "You liar! I didn't even touch you! "
Ramos' words were obviously exaggerated. Of course, he did touch Torres, but the slow-motion replay told the world that his raised arm did not even touch Torres' chin, let alone the face that Torres was covering.
Capello was also furious on the sidelines, but what could he do?
Harsh boos rang out in Bernabéu, but they couldn't change the fact.
"Ramos has been sent off with two yellows and one red! The second yellow card is still up for debate. At least from the slow-motion replay, he did not hit Torres's face. The performance of Spain's new golden boy successfully made Ramos leave the stage of the Madrid Derby. "
The Real Madrid players had suffered such a turn of events that they could not express their bitterness.
Capello paced back and forth on the sidelines. He had to make a substitution.
This was a passive substitution.
Moreover, a substitution would not change the fact that they had to play with one less player on the field.
In that case, he would have to re-examine the role of some of the players on the field.
Now, the only things that affected his judgment were offense and defense.
In the offense, van Nistelrooy had no role, and Raúl contributed on both sides.
Van Nistelrooy had to be replaced.
In the midfield defense, Emerson played badly, but he was a strong defensive player and should stay.
Qin Xiong?
Now that the score was in the lead, 11 against 11, Real Madrid's defense was not stable yet. Now that it was 10 against 11, strengthening the defense in the midfield was necessary.
Qin Xiong also had to be replaced!
Messiah stayed on the field because he had no choice. The team did not have a reliable fullback.
Reyes worked hard in defense, but he lost the role of advancing the offense, and the defensive effect was not very good.
Replace him with a player with better stamina and a better defensive player.
Hold on to the 2: 1 lead and create an impenetrable defensive line to hold the victory in their hands!
After Capello sorted out his thoughts, he immediately made a substitution.
"Van Nistelrooy, who had a mediocre performance in this game, has been replaced by Bravo. Bravo will take over Ramos' position in the penalty area.
Beckham is going to play. He will replace Reyes, who had a brave but lackluster performance in this game. Beckham can strengthen the defense on the right flank, and at the same time provide the advantage of long passes in the counterattack.
Guti is also going to play. Who will he replace?
Qin Xiong!
It's actually Qin Xiong!
Why not Emerson?
The Real Madrid fans at the Bernabéu erupted in deafening boos!
Obviously, they did not want Qin Xiong to leave the field. After the repeated outbursts of boos against Emerson, we can understand that the Real Madrid fans are even more unwilling to see Emerson stay on the field! "
Van Nistelrooy and Reyes had already left the field. Qin Xiong stood in place with a calm expression, but his eyes were filled with an unbelievable brilliance.
Me?
Capello!
You dare to replace me?
Yes!
It's me!
That's right, the number was 9.
Qin Xiong took a deep breath, lowered his head, and raised it again as he walked to the sidelines. After handing over to Guti, he walked to the substitutes' bench. He brushed past Capello, but ignored Capello's comforting pat on the shoulder.
Qin Xiong sat on the substitutes' bench to drink water. As soon as he sat down, his body immediately sounded the fatigue alarm. It seemed that he could fall asleep as long as he found a comfortable position and closed his eyes.
He watched the game coldly from the sidelines. There was a grievance in his heart that he had nowhere to vent.
Capello's substitution had completely turned Real Madrid into an engineering team!
He looked at the midfield combination he left on the field.
Beckham, Diarra, Emerson, Guti.
All of them had to mobilize the most enthusiastic players in the defense.
Raúl was left on the front line. There were no technical players who dribbled to advance on the flanks except for the passes from Guti and Beckham.
Qin Xiong felt disgust for Capello for the first time in his heart!
He and this coach were simply incompatible!
He could accept the conservative tactical arrangement, but he could not accept the manager's indifference to technique and extreme suppression of the offensive desire!
He once had expectations for Capello because Capello had coached AC Milan and Roma and had had moments of brilliance in the offense.
He had the ability. Whether he wanted to do it or not depended on his current coaching mindset.
In the end, the feeling he gave Qin Xiong was that he had no extravagant hopes for the offense. He only wanted to carry forward the Italian tradition and win through defense!
Atletico Madrid played with more players. In addition, Real Madrid's offense was weakened and their mobility was reduced. Atletico Madrid could easily cut Real Madrid's offensive formation in defense, leaving Real Madrid's offensive players isolated and helpless.
The most obvious picture was that Real Madrid had no point of support in the middle of the front field. The pure flank offense would reach a dead end as long as the opponent cut the formation. Raúl alone lacked cover and restraint. He was like a headless fly on the front line.
