The image of Qin Xiong being unmarked and about to control the ball made Atlético Madrid's scalp tingle. What's more, their rear defensive line was not complete. Due to the radical attack on the flank, there was a huge gap on the flank of their rear defensive line!
Garcia and Maniche headed forward and wanted to delay Qin Xiong after he controlled the ball and turned around.
But Qin Xiong was also observing when he received the ball. He stopped the ball after it rolled over, turned halfway, and swept the ball to the right flank of the front field!
The ball was very decisive.
Garcia and Maniche turned their heads to look and suddenly felt despair!
The Dutch Peter Pan, Robben, ran wildly in the wide open area on the right flank. Qin Xiong's pass to him and Robben's speed made Real Madrid's attack as fast as lightning!
The moment his left foot touched the ball, Robben dribbled the ball directly into the inside line. Before he stepped into the penalty area, the center back, Perea, moved to the front of Robben. Robben played the horizontal dribbling skills he was good at. Raúl cut in diagonally from Pablo's side. The running behind Perea also made Pablo subconsciously follow.
As he followed, his body moved and his center of gravity gave Robben the opportunity to cut into the penalty area diagonally from his other side.
Peter Pan suddenly single-handedly cut into the penalty area and created an opportunity to shoot.
Pablo reacted belatedly and ran to block Robben. At this time, Robben passed the ball across. Pablo felt his waist was about to break. He looked back and, as expected, saw Raúl in front of the goal receive the ball sent by Robben and shoot into the lower right corner of the goal!
The cheers in the Bernabéu stands were deafening.
Raúl rushed over and hugged Robben excitedly to celebrate.
This was his 15th goal in 21 games against Atlético Madrid. It was not an exaggeration to call him Atlético Madrid's killer!
The most important thing was that although Real Madrid fell behind in the first minute, they played better and better in the following time and then played a dazzling attack, more dazzling than the second half of last season!
"Real Madrid scores another goal! Raúl scores! Widening the lead to two goals!
3:1
This goal was unbelievably fast. Snede, Qin Xiong, Robben, Raúl, and Real Madrid's quick counterattack smashed Atlético Madrid's defense. It had to be said that Atlético Madrid's wing players' aggressive attack gave Real Madrid such an opportunity...
But what can Atlético Madrid do?
They lack of support........... the offense.......................................................
Aguirre was calm on the sidelines. His mood was probably the same as the Atlético Madrid players on the field.
. calm..... com...
..................
Quick attacks, defensive counterattacks, small coordination in positional play, and unexpected individual breakthroughs!
The uncertain factor in the past was Qin Xiong. Now, in terms of individual breakthroughs, Robben, the dribbling breakthrough master, was added. In the positional play cooperation, there used to be Guti. Now there was Snede, plus Raúl on the frontline who had the ability to respond.
Real Madrid's offensive ability improved. It was not just the improvement of the individual player's ability.
It was a geometrical explosion of improvement!
A real team chemistry!
Real Madrid's defensive line did have hidden dangers.
But this hidden danger was like a bait, making the opponents have expectations and ambitions to crush the noble White Army.
But not every attack could catch Real Madrid's hidden dangers in the rear defensive line.
Once Real Madrid had terrifying offensive firepower, the result of taking the risk to bombard was a high probability that Real Madrid would crush the opponent with unparalleled momentum!
Because every goal in the game would have an impact on the game situation and the mentality of the players on both sides, positive and negative. The impact was internal and could not be seen or perceived by outsiders.
Atlético Madrid began a full retreat. They were afraid of being crushed by Real Madrid in the first half!
They needed the halftime break to listen to coach Aguirre's adjustments and take a breather.
In the 41st minute of the game, Qin Xiong's long shot from the periphery was blocked by goalkeeper Franco.
Before the end of the first half, Ramos plugged into the penalty area to receive Snede in front of the penalty area and pass. Raúl's header was slightly over the crossbar.
Real Madrid's offensive was like a tide, and Atlético Madrid's penalty area was jittery.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the Atlético Madrid players felt relieved and could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They walked quickly to the players' tunnel, wanting to take a further rest and adjust their mentality in the locker room.
Although Real Madrid was leading by two goals, the players were still communicating on the way back to the locker room because the team's offense still had room for improvement.
Qin Xiong and Robben walked side by side.
"You can make appropriate adjustments in front of the penalty area. I think running positions is safer than dribbling."
"Well, but you can also come to my side and switch positions with me to interfere with the opponent's defensive attention."
"I'll try. It's good for your long shot after the left cross, right?"
"Yes."
During the halftime break, Bosque's main adjustments and analysis were in the middle and backfield. The direction of the adjustments was also based on balance, such as the balance arrangement of the midfielders' offense and defense during the attack, the position of the rear defensive line after the side back's unilateral assist, and so on.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Aguirre's face was still dignified. He was in a dilemma during the halftime break.
Sometimes the game was like this. One wrong move and the whole game was lost!
The score was 3: 1 at the halftime break, and Atlético Madrid was two goals behind.
Atlético Madrid had two problems to solve: to avoid losing goals and to fight for goals!
These two problems happened to conflict. To avoid losing goals, they had to strengthen the defense, and to fight for goals, they had to strengthen the offense.
Whether it was defense or offense, it had to be achieved by the players. The most basic problem was the personnel investment.
Should Atlético Madrid defend or attack? With the score already behind, plus today's game was a derby between Madrid's arch-rivals, it was difficult to choose.
Aguirre could only let Forlan withdraw to strengthen the midfield defense and change to a 4-2-3-1 formation to see the effect.
The effect of his change was not ideal.
Because Forlan withdrew and then rushed forward, Diarra was able to lock onto the target and play the one-on-one interceptions he was good at.
Ten minutes into the second half, Forlan's three consecutive attacks from the middle and front field failed. One was intercepted by Diarra, and the other two were failed passes.
Atlético Madrid's midfield adjustment did not improve the team's offense and defense. Instead, Real Madrid's offense in the second half gradually found a new feeling!
