Chapter 1162 The legend of the World Cup, the reappearance of the double crown
Surprisingly, scoring a goal in just over a minute of the game did not have a big impact on Real Betis. This team, which has been in the lower reaches of La Liga, seems to have the consciousness of conceding goals. When the crisis came, they performed well. Very calm, still tenaciously playing the game according to his own rhythm and the tactics formulated before the game, which frustrated Atletico Madrid's idea of ​​using goals to continue to expand the score.

Real Betis has no big-name stars, and no one thinks they are big-name stars. Their offense relies on the whole, and their defense also relies on the whole. The main reason is pass penetration. Although their passing skills cannot be compared with Barcelona, ​​they are much less famous than Barcelona. Most teams will not put up iron buckets when playing against them. Therefore, their slightly rough penetration has not much less offensive and scoring opportunities than Barcelona.

Less than 10 minutes after Li Huan's first goal, Real Betis got a good chance to shoot. Atletico Madrid's players were intercepted and counterattacked when they besieged Betis' penalty area. Atletico Madrid's huge backcourt The space was exploited by the players of Real Betis. Their skillful pass and cut cooperation made Atletico Madrid's quick defense become empty words. Betis formed a 3-on-2 situation in the frontcourt.

Sevilla took the ball, the handsome guys Santa Cruz and Pereira ran in front, and Atletico Madrid's two central defenders Godin and Dominguez couldn't do both. Focus on Santa Cruz, who is more threatening and more famous, and no one will care about the other Pereira. Whether Montero can pass to Pereira can only be resigned to fate.

Although Sevilla was born in West Second Division, his technical awareness is not comparable to that of Second Division players. He was sober under the marking of Dominguez. He seemed to shake continuously unintentionally, but dodged a pass. The space of the ball passed the ball to Pereira's feet, forming a single-handed ball opportunity.

At this time, the goalkeeper Asenjo showed why he is called the most potential goalkeeper. The moment Sevilla passed the ball, Asenjo chose to attack. He spread his limbs and quickly rushed into the penalty area in Pereira. When he was in front of him, Pereira decisively swayed and shot the ball in the opposite direction, but although Asenjo's body was shaken, he judged the wrong direction when he fell to the ground, but he His foot remained on the other side and the ball was blocked by Asenjo's calf.

The Real Betis fans in the stands sighed. If this one-handed goal is scored, their morale and passive situation will immediately change. This save by Asenjo can be crucial. He changed the field. The situation saved Atletico Madrid from a defensive error.

In fact, except for the first few rounds of this season, the main goalkeeper was controlled by Courtois on loan from Chelsea, and Asenjo has always been the main player. His outstanding performance in front of the goal is an important factor for Atletico Madrid to win the championship this season. Without his stability It is impossible to get rid of the name of the nerve knife when playing Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid was a little restrained after being hit by a counterattack, but their offense did not shrink because of this. The lead of one goal is too small, and one mistake may ruin it. They are not a defensive-oriented team. , More goals are still Atletico Madrid's first choice.

In the 15th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid's offense also made Betis's defense loose. Li Huan, Turan, and Falcao attracted a lot of defensive forces. Diego suddenly passed through and Adrian stood in the offside position. The position did not move, and the defensive midfielder Assuncao inserted from the back to form a one-handed goal.

This time it was the turn of Real Betis goalkeeper Castro. Castro also chose to attack decisively. Avoiding Castro's saving range, the ball was kicked by him to the post and bounced off the baseline, wasting a wonderful pass from Diego.

The goalkeepers of both sides saved a one-handed goal from the opponent, which did not calm down the opponent. Instead, they played more intensely because of the outstanding performance of the goalkeeper. The rhythm of the game was very fast. Although Atletico Madrid is strong, it is not like Barcelona. Real Betis got a lot of chances to attack. The ball was flying in the half of both sides. Although the score could not be rewritten for a while, the game was very exciting. Local fans in Rencia couldn't help but applaud for this high-quality Copa del Rey final.

The time of the game passed quickly, and the first half of the game came to an end in a blink of an eye. At this time, due to the high physical exertion and high mental tension, the players often lost their attention for three to four 10 minutes. According to statistics, the final 5 minutes is often the time period with the highest incidence of goals.

In the first half, Real Betis fell behind by one goal at the beginning. Although they worked hard, the situation of being behind by one goal put more pressure on the Betis players, because the passage of time meant that opportunities were slowly coming to them. At the end of the first half, their nervousness began to relax, but at this time, Atletico Madrid suddenly launched a wave of fast and violent attacks.

Under the command of Li Huan, Atlético Madrid suddenly pushed up sharply and made a fierce press on the whole field, so that Betis could not pass the half-court and could only defend at the front of the penalty area. However, Turan and Falcao , Li Huan and other skilled players in the frontcourt forcibly made Betis more difficult to defend, because they did not dare to foul and were worried about giving Li Huan another free kick. That would be really terrible. No matter how good Castro played Nothing works.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Diego dodged and swayed to the left in the middle, avoiding the pressure of two Real Betis players. He made a fake shot and passed the ball suddenly from the empty space. To Adrian in the restricted area.

Adrian's speed has risen, but the central defenders have not been able to close the door. At this time, a block is a foul, and Adrian will enter the penalty area if he does not block.

Central defender Dorado stretched out his foot to steal helplessly. When Dorado touched the ball, he also bumped into Adrian. Adrian sprinted so fast that he couldn't change direction at all, no matter whether Dorado could grab it or not. With the ball, Adrian couldn't even avoid Dorado's kick, but in the blink of an eye, the referee can make any decision. Dorado is testing the referee's eyesight.

"force!"

The referee's whistle sounded again, a free kick, still a free kick.
