Chapter 691 Bomber No. 7
"I think Ancelotti will think the game is over."

At the press conference held by Liverpool after the game, Klopp was seriously answering questions from reporters.

With slightly tired eyes, the passion of the past is gone.

All that is left is helplessness.

However, Liverpool will not admit defeat.

Klopp once led the team to come back from behind 0:3 and defeat the powerful Barcelona.

This time, I believe he will be able to do it.

Real Madrid, do you think that with a three-goal lead, promotion is guaranteed?
Ancelotti, do you still remember the Miracle in Istanbul?

Even if Liverpool died, they would die standing.

Unexpectedly, Klopp's next words surprised everyone.

"I also think the game is over. Tonight at 2:5, Real Madrid are so good at counterattacking."

"We have to score three goals away from home and that's a big risk."

"It's going to be a lot trickier."

With away goals eliminated, a comeback is not impossible.

But fans who have watched the game know that the current Real Madrid team is difficult to defeat.

A big attack will bring you the opportunity to score, but chasing points will only make you lose more.

Klopp was justified in saying that the game ended early.

In this way, Liverpool can focus on competing in domestic competitions.

Returning to Madrid with the news of victory, Real Madrid will prepare for the last game in February.

Madrid derby.

After sending away Europe's golden boy Felix, Atletico Madrid's strength on the front line has not weakened.

Their forward reserves are as good as Real Madrid and Barcelona.

As of now, Atletico Madrid is ranked third in the league, only 3 points behind Real Madrid in second place, and is a strong contender for the La Liga championship.

But Atletico Madrid gives fans the feeling that it is a team with strong capabilities to compete for the championship, but it will definitely not be the team that finally wins the championship.

Due to the lack of depth in Real Madrid's lineup, Atletico Madrid sent a combination of Griezmann and Marcos Llorente up front for this battle.

Morata, Correa and Lemar sat on the bench, while Simeone left behind for the second half.

In addition to Real Madrid's shortcomings on the defensive end, many of Real Madrid's main players suffered a lot in the strong dialogue with Liverpool.

Rossi, Modric, Benzema, and Camavinga also sat on the bench as a normal rotation.

In order to curb Real Madrid's attack on the wing, Atletico Madrid deployed the commonly used 4-5-1 formation during the defensive phase to establish a numerical advantage, adopting the tactics of defending Carvajal alone and double-teaming Vinicius with two players.

The Royal team's response was that Asensio and Valverde on the right retreated and were responsible for passing the ball and transferring long passes to find Vinicius on the wing.

Militao dribbled the ball forward in the middle, making Real Madrid evenly matched in the midfield.

Coupled with the short passing cooperation of multiple technical midfielders, this can break down the defense.

Also, through Ceballos’ long pass from the backcourt, he quickly passed through the midfield and directly found Vinicius at the front end.

Real Madrid's three midfielders are not defensive midfielders. The meaning of their existence is to deliver ammunition to Vinicius on the striker.

This tactic of using offense instead of defense shows the players' strong ability to read the game and creates many opportunities.

However, Atletico Madrid, a veteran defender, set up layers of barriers in the middle, forcing Real Madrid to divert goals to both sides.

Without the space to break inside, Vinicius mostly chooses to pass from the bottom.

In fact, this was Simonsi's trap.

Vinicius, Rodrygo and Asensio are not forwards who can header the ball.

Real Madrid lost the ball in crosses again and again.

Simeone did not feel ashamed when his opponent was pressed and beaten.

After all, the opponent is Real Madrid, and not many teams in the world can compete with it.

The last time Liverpool faced Real Madrid, they lost 2:5 at home.

Therefore, there is no shame in retreating on defense.Furthermore, Simeone still has a backup plan.

In the second half, when Real Madrid players were running low on physical fitness, they struck again.

If this were the case before, Simeone would not have saved his trump card for last.

In doing so, we also saw that after Real Madrid's devilish schedule in January and February, there were huge problems with the physical fitness of the players and the depth of the lineup.

In the first half, neither side scored a goal and entered the halftime break with a score of 0:0.

Barcelona, ​​which started the day before, defeated their opponent 3:0. If Real Madrid ends in a draw, the point difference between them and Barcelona will be 3 points.

This is not an easy score difference to chase.

Because Barcelona has been eliminated by Manchester United in the Europa League, the pressure on them to fight on two fronts is too low.

Real Madrid must win at home to continue their pursuit of Barcelona.

After entering the second half, Real Madrid launched a high-position press, tried to successfully steal the ball in the frontcourt, and quickly launched a counterattack.

Atletico Madrid did not panic at all. Simeone simply used a 6-3-1 formation to protect the penalty area. Real Madrid's offense was strong and did not score.

Without Rossi and Benzema, Real Madrid's offensive structure is relatively simple.

Vinicius broke through the penalty area, Rodrigo made a pass, Asensio cut inside and shot, and that was it.

In front of Atletico Madrid's defense, Real Madrid's offense was completely blocked.

Just when Ancelotti was about to make a substitution, Atletico Madrid took a corner kick and defender Jimenez scored with a header.

The only way Atletico Madrid can cause trouble for Real Madrid is always through set kicks or corner kicks.

The same was true for the 14 Champions League final.

Simeone smiled happily after taking the lead at the Bernabeu.

With Real Madrid's current offensive capabilities, he is confident enough to maintain the lead until the end of the game.

But the smile froze in less than five seconds.

Because Rossi took off his training vest and prepared to come on as a substitute.

Simeone also made quick adjustments. Morata, Correa and Lemar came off the bench to concentrate on counterattacks.

As a defensive midfielder, Kroos cannot compete with traditional midfielders in terms of steals and defensive coverage.

His accurate judgment of the ball path is the reason why Real Madrid dares to press forward.

But Cross, who returned from injury, only played 65 minutes before being replaced by Camavinga due to exhaustion.

As the pace of the game continued to increase, both sides got some opportunities.

Especially in the speed of counterattack, the two teams competed.

Simeone hopes that both sides will continue to transform offense and defense at a fast pace.

One is because Real Madrid players have insufficient physical reserves.

The second is that Real Madrid will rely too much on Vinicius's speed in quick counterattacks.

As long as the connection between Vinicius and Rossi is cut off, Real Madrid's offense will not pose a threat.

But just 5 minutes later, a loud slap hit Simeone's face.

Real Madrid had a corner kick opportunity, and Modric, who came on as a substitute, passed the ball into the penalty area.

Players from both sides interfered with each other in the penalty area, resulting in no one able to take off to compete for the top.

But, except Rossi.

Real Madrid's No. 7 was unmarked and unnoticed outside the penalty area. He quickly moved forward and then jumped, pushing the ball down like a mountain.

The surrounding players didn't know what happened. They only knew that a black cloud suddenly appeared in the sky above their heads, and they saw the ball hit the turf backwards and bounce into the net.

Then he suddenly looked back, searching for the soaring black cloud.

I saw the edge of the number 7 behind it shining with golden light.

Golden Bomber No. 7,

The first round of bombing is completed,
Returning to the team,

Please advise!
