Chapter 489 The end of the first half
This attack made Xue Yang break into a cold sweat. This ball was really too dangerous.
If Griezmann passes, it's a goal.
Although Ruben Dias was a little slow with this ball, he did not catch up with Griezmann immediately.
But it was precisely because of his confrontation that it affected Griezmann.
Coupled with the goalkeeper Navas, this prevented Griezmann from scoring.
This made Xue Yang breathe a sigh of relief. Real Madrid's previous attacks made Xue Yang a little too confident.
Looking at the bright side, this attack may not be a bad thing.
It just reminds the players and lets them know that Atletico Madrid is not weak, and is even a strong team that is not weaker than them.
Their sudden attack may break through Real Madrid's defense.
Atletico Madrid may also have opened up their offensive sense because of this attack.
Soon the football came to Lemar's feet on the left. Xue Yang originally thought that Lemar was not that big of a threat.
But when the football came to Lemar, Lemar took the ball and pushed forward at full speed.
The opponent Achraf may have been a little forward before, so he didn't catch up with Lemar immediately.
When Achraf saw that Lemar had the ball, he quickly chased after Lemar, hoping to defend it as soon as possible.
But Lemar soon brought the ball to the left side of the penalty area, and at this time Achraf finally caught up.
However, even if Ashraf catches up, it will be of no use.
Because Lemar chose to pass the football into the penalty area before Achraf was about to catch up.
This cross was not a high ball, but a low cross.
Lemar's pass was passed near the penalty spot because both forwards were on this line.
Facing the football passed by, Diego Costa spread his legs very smartly.
He actually chose to pass the football because he knew Griezmann was behind him.
Diego Costa's missed ball surprised Real Madrid's defense.
They did not expect that Diego Costa would choose to miss the ball.
But there is one exception, and he is centre-back Ruben Dias.
He previously played for The Hague, and Xu Qiang often missed the ball.
Xu Qiang is a very smart and spiritual forward, and his teammate Ruben Dias is very familiar with this kind of operation.
So when Diego Costa came up to him, Ruben Dias was wondering if he would miss the ball.
Ruben Dias was prepared. When he saw that Diego Costa really missed the ball, he rushed towards Griezmann.
Griezmann raised his foot and kicked the football that missed him.
Griezmann's shooting skills are very strong, and the quality of this direct shot is very good.
The position was played very well, and Griezmann hit it at an angle.
But at this moment, Ruben Dias made a decisive tackle at Griezmann's feet.
I have to say that his reaction was very fast. Although he did not shovel the football away, he successfully touched it.
The football still flew towards the football, but the speed of the ball was seriously affected.
Although the football was refracted because of him, such speed could not stop the goalkeeper Navas.
Navas easily took off the football and held it firmly in his arms.
Griezmann saw that his shot was being held and kicked the turf a little angrily.
But he had no choice but to accept the reality.
He couldn't find any excuse for Real Madrid's defense just now.
The defense was clean, and soon Griezmann began to run back.
The game continued like this, and Real Madrid did have a greater advantage in the subsequent games.
Not only does he have more possession of the ball, but he also takes more shots than Atletico Madrid.
But the threat is not as great as imagined. On the contrary, Atletico Madrid's offense is very threatening.
Fortunately, they had opportunities, but in the end they failed to seize them.
The score has always been 0-0, and neither head coach is satisfied with this situation.
Xue Yang shouted towards the court from the sidelines. He was a little worried.
For a team with the style of Atletico Madrid, one goal may be the only goal in the game.
Their defense was very solid, and Xue Yang was deeply impressed by this.
The first half of the game ended soon, with neither side able to break the deadlock.
Xue Yang is not very satisfied with the team's performance. So far, Real Madrid does not have that kind of absolute chance.
You must know that they started with four midfielders today. According to Xue Yang's expectation, Real Madrid should have more dangerous attacks.
But the reality is the opposite. On the contrary, Atletico Madrid's offense is more threatening.
Xue Yang quickly ran back to the locker room to prepare for the second half of the game.
This must not be the case in the second half of the game, otherwise Real Madrid may be the loser.
The current situation is also seen by Real Madrid fans.
Today's game is definitely the most difficult game Real Madrid has played this season.
Real Madrid almost scored a lot of goals in every game before.
This also made the fans calm down and no longer be as blindly confident as before.
There are reporters at the scene today, and they even thought of a title.
"Real Madrid faced the real test and finally returned to its original form!"
There were no expressions on the faces of the Real Madrid players, and everyone walked back to the locker room quietly.
For a giant club like Real Madrid, we still see a lot of this kind of scene.
So it has no impact on their mentality.
The team's recent excellent performance has boosted their confidence.
They are still very confident in their own strength.
After returning to the locker room, Xue Yang began to lay out the tactics for the second half of the game.
"In the first half of the game, our defense did very well." Xue Yang first praised the team's defense.
Real Madrid's defense did really well today.
Especially center back Ruben Dias, he used his performance to prove that he is worthy of his transfer fee.
Several key defenses finally allowed Atletico Madrid to return without success.
Now his teammates are becoming more and more confident in Ruben Dias. The presence of Ruben Dias in the defense gives them a lot of peace of mind.
Apart from being a bit slow, he has almost no shortcomings.
And after Xue Yang's training, his speed has improved.
"But we didn't do very well offensively. We took long shots whenever we had the chance."
"If you have a good opportunity, try to pass the football into the penalty area."
"We have top strikers and we shouldn't waste this advantage."
"Of course, this does not mean that you should not take long-range shots. I firmly believe that we have the strength to defeat Atletico Madrid!"
