Just when Qiao Anchen ran back to the center circle with the ball, placed the ball on the center circle point, and signaled Real Madrid to quickly kick off and restart the game, the time had reached 90 minutes, and the fourth official raised the electronic signal for injury time.
The time plate clearly says "2" on it.
There were so many goals scored in this game. Except for Qiao Anchen's goal just now, both sides celebrated the other goals for a long time. Not to mention the inevitable fouls, yellow cards, etc. in the same city derby, which also wasted a lot of time.
.
Qiao Anchen and his teammates thought that there would be at least 4-5 minutes of stoppage time, at least 3 minutes. Unexpectedly, the referee only gave 2 minutes of stoppage time.
This is obviously not normal.
Real Madrid can accept this ending.
This is an away game. With 1 point, they are still at the top of the standings and can continue their 12-year unbeaten record against Atletico Madrid.
But obviously, Atletico Madrid cannot accept this stoppage time.
At the end of the celebration, Diego Simeone, who had already thought of a reversal, rushed to the fourth official angrily and yelled: "Are you sick? There were so many goals scored in the second half of this game, and there were several more
A yellow card and only 2 minutes of added time?"
The fourth official put down the electronic time card and said with a cold face: "This is the decision of the referee. Please abide by it and don't be rude."
Simeone angrily pressed towards the fourth official, his head almost touching the fourth official's forehead: "This is a fucking black whistle, at least 5 minutes of extra time is required."
It looked like he was going to eat the fourth official.
The fourth official stepped back to avoid Simeone while calling the referee through the headset.
Upon hearing the fourth official's call, the referee did not blow the opening whistle and immediately rushed to the sidelines. He showed Simeone a yellow card who was still pressing the fourth official and warned him that if he continued to make trouble unreasonably, he would be punished.
Send him off the court directly.
Naturally, Simeone could not give in. Just as the fourth official said that the injury time was decided by the referee, he immediately turned around and started yelling at the referee.
Fortunately, assistant coaches Germain Borges, Oscar Ortega and others, who noticed something was wrong, rushed over, covered Simeone's mouth and forcibly pulled him away from the scene.
Otherwise, with Simeone's character, he will definitely yell at the referee, and then he will be sent off with a red card as a matter of course, and may face additional penalties after the game.
Atletico Madrid's players and coaches don't dare to scold the referee anymore, but the fans don't.
The more than 50,000 Atletico Madrid home fans in the stands also knew that this 2-minute ultra-short stoppage time was obviously biased towards Real Madrid and disadvantageous to the home team Atletico Madrid. In addition, after seeing Simeone's actions, everyone already understood what this meant. Everyone
They shouted angrily in unison: "Referee! Black whistle!"
However, this did not change the referee's decision. The referee returned to the court and blew the whistle again to start the game.
After Real Madrid kicked the ball out of the center circle, they did not attack immediately. Instead, they first passed the ball backwards, attracting Atletico Madrid midfielders such as Joan Chen, Falcao, Diego, Arda Turan, etc. to close in and fight for the ball, and then waited for opportunities.
Pass forward and hit the gap in Atletico Madrid's midfield.
Real Madrid made good use of Atletico Madrid's mentality of eager to steal the ball and try to score another goal to reverse the score, and kept walking the monkey.
After passing the ball to the frontcourt and encountering an interception, Real Madrid repeatedly passed the ball back, reversed the ball, kept moving back and forth, wasting time by controlling the ball, and did not easily hand over the ball with a shot.
Although a shot may score a goal and kill the opponent, it is more likely to cause the ball to change hands. To be safe, it is safer to control the ball at your feet.
If Atletico Madrid presses forward aggressively, they can also turn around and hit the opponent's space behind them.
Simeone knew Real Madrid's plan and the possible consequences of the team's aggressive pressing, but he had no choice.
The score is now a draw. If it ends with this score, Real Madrid will naturally accept it, but he and Atletico Madrid cannot accept it because they will continue the shame of not defeating their mortal enemy in 12 years.
Simeone is not only the current coach of Atletico Madrid, he is also a former Atletico Madrid player, captain, and meritorious hero. His feelings for the Atletico Madrid team are not comparable to those of ordinary coaches. He is not willing to accept that he will continue to extend his shameful record.
Therefore, Simeone didn't care so much. He rushed to the sidelines and shouted at the Atletico Madrid players while waving his hand and shouting: "Press up, grab it for me, grab the ball, and counterattack on the spot."
"
Upon hearing Simeone's call, the Atletico Madrid team, which originally had only the midfielders and frontcourt players pressing, immediately went all out. Everyone pressed forward collectively and carried out an overall forward pressing against Real Madrid.
Under Atletico Madrid's overall pressing, Real Madrid's possession of the ball kept retreating, and even finally passed to the feet of goalkeeper Casillas.
Even at this time, Atletico Madrid did not give up the press. Center Falcao saw Ramos passing the ball back to Casillas and rushed forward without stopping to press Casillas.
Casillas' ball release points, such as Ramos, Pepe, Coentrao and others, have been closely defended by Atletico Madrid players Qiao Anchen, Diego and others, making it difficult to get the ball.
At this time, passing the ball slowly will no longer work.
As a last resort, Casillas had no choice but to kick the ball into the frontcourt as his teammates passed the ball back and Falcao rushed up.
However, Casillas' big kick in front of the goal was not random, it still flew roughly to the vicinity of Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo did not disappoint Casillas. He successfully grabbed the header during the competition with Atletico Madrid center back Perea and tried to pass it to Benzema.
But the ball was headed a bit too far, and due to Perea's interference, it ultimately failed to achieve the ferrying effect Ronaldo wanted, causing Benzema to fail to stop the ball properly.
Although he barely reached the ball with his feet, he was unable to completely remove the ball and continue to control it at his feet. Atletico Madrid defender Felipe Luis, who was rushed from the side, saw the opportunity and made a flying tackle, taking the ball from Benzema's feet.
It was shoveled away and there was no foul.
The ball scooped out by full-back Felipe Luis fell to the midfielder, at the feet of captain Gabi, and the ball finally changed hands.
But at this time, after Real Madrid's long-term possession defense, the time had reached the 91st minute and 45 seconds of stoppage time, and there was not much time left for Atletico Madrid.
The opponent's attitude can be seen from the fact that the referee only gave 2 minutes of injury time. With only more than 10 seconds left, the referee may blow the final whistle at any time.
Therefore, Atletico Madrid couldn't afford to waste time. After getting the ball, Gabi did not take the ball and immediately passed the ball to Thiago in the midfield gap, preparing to counterattack.
