Chapter 892: Overtime

After Danilo played, the game restarted.
As the commentators analyzed, Atlético Madrid really used Danilo as a breakthrough for their offense.
Gao Zheng and Cork continued to switch positions to help Carrasco take turns attacking Danilo's defense.
Gareth Bale had to withdraw his defense, which gave him the illusion that he had returned to the days when he was a full-back in Southampton. It was more of a defense than offensive...
But he was playing a left-back, not a right-back!
Because Bell is going to participate in the defense, Real Madrid's only few chances to counterattack were handed over to Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the eighty-first minute, Ronaldo created the most threatening chance for Real Madrid to counterattack after the second half started.
At the time he received Modric's diagonal pass on the wing and drove the ball to the penalty area of ​​Atletico Madrid.
Although there was Benzema in the middle of the road before he desperately tried to meet him, he still chose to hit the door after entering the penalty area.
In fact, at that time, he had already attracted the attention of all Atletico Madrid players. If he could pass the football, Benzema basically faced an empty goal, with an Atletico Madrid central defender Savage in front of him. Both are still in Cristiano Ronaldo.
But the Portuguese did not do this. At that moment, he might just want to compete with Gao Zheng. Of course, this is no problem, a top shooter, this confidence and domineering still need to have...
So facing the goalkeeper Oblak, he chose to shoot himself!
"Ronaldo -!!!"
In the shouting of Jose Maria, the football shot by Cristiano Ronaldo was blocked by the attacking Oblak!
"Damn!"
Many Real Madrid fans sighed with their hands on their heads.
If this goal is scored, the situation will be reversed...
"Although the goal was not scored, it sounded the alarm for Atletico Madrid's defense. Don't look at their advantage now, but with such an attack, the air behind the back line will be caught by the opponent sooner or later, whether it is Ronaldo or Bell is a speed player and has a strong combat ability..." Xu Yang analyzed, he was a little worried.
Real Madrid lost the ball, Carvajal was injured, and Danilo came up and was habitually unable to find a state... Real Madrid's situation now looks so bad that it can't be worse, it seems to be a good opportunity for Atletico Madrid.
But if Atletico really thinks so, a swarm of bees on the offensive, he fears that the back of Atletico Madrid will be caught and used by Real Madrid.
After all, Real Madrid used to be a very fast and sharp counterattack team. At that time they faced Ajax in the Champions League and only 13 seconds to penetrate Ajax.
From the start of Ozil's counterattack to the end, Ronaldo scored a goal, all touched the ball.
If Atlético Madrid continues to play like this, just now Cristiano Ronaldo's shot will definitely not be the last chance for Real Madrid in this game.

Simone is also considering this issue.
After Danilo played before, he wanted to take advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing to launch a fierce offensive, from here to completely open the breakthrough.
But now it seems that if you haven't scored on your side, let Real Madrid use their good counterattack to score the goal first.
So Simone intends to slow down the team, shrink a bit, and prepare for overtime.
Now the game has entered the eighty minutes, getting closer and closer to the end of the ninety-minute game.
It's hard to believe that the team can kill Real Madrid in the remaining minutes.
It's about worrying that after the team advances, Real Madrid will be killed.
The sure thing is to shrink the defense and then play overtime.
Simoni has confidence in the team's physical fitness. He believes that even if the game is dragged into overtime, Atletico Madrid can take advantage of physical strength in these thirty-minute overtime.
However, Real Madrid's physical fitness is nearly exhausted, and it is the end of the crossbow in overtime. It can only passively defend.
So Atlético de Madrid has great hopes of winning in overtime.
Think of it this way, then there is no need to go crazy in the last few minutes.
Simone said his thoughts to assistant coach Boggs, and Boggs fully agreed with his arrangement.
"The worst result is just to drag the game into a penalty shootout. But we have specially trained for penalty kicks before the game, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Boggs said.
Although Atletico Madrid lost to Real Madrid in overtime two years ago, the times have changed and the situation today is different.
At the time, Atletico Madrid was dragged into overtime by Real Madrid at the end of the game. It was only a minute away from the first win in history. This huge psychological gap caused the team to collapse in extra time.
It’s different now. Atletico Madrid consciously drags the game into overtime.
The players are mentally prepared and physically better than their opponents, and there will be no situation where the opponents will be brought down in overtime.
So this arrangement is no problem.
So Simone prepared to get up and went to the sidelines to tell the players to properly recover the formation and not let Real Madrid take advantage of their chance to attack.

The commentators of the countries on the commentary table also see the current situation. This game is going to be overtime.
"Overtime is cruel to both teams, but it is not cruel enough to be completely unacceptable. Especially Atletico Madrid, their physical fitness is more ample, it should not be a big deal to play more than 30 minutes. It is Royal Madrid is about to worry about..." Jose Maria said.
"Actually, I hope that the game will end in ninety minutes. After all, it's very hard for everyone to stay up late to watch the ball. But for now, I am afraid that playing overtime is more beneficial to Atletico Madrid..."
He Ping’s statement was also recognized by Xu Yang:
Simony is very smart and calm, and he didn’t choose to go ahead because it looks good. Ronaldo has few chances to play in this game, but his condition is very good. The goal in the first half was lost because Atletico Madrid ignored him while defending. At any rate, Atletico Madrid cannot fall twice in the same pit..."

The meeting room was brightly lit, and there were several rows of Red Bull and various instant coffee on everyone's table, but no one moved.
Despite looking like this, the game will have to be played for another 30 minutes, and I'm just afraid that it will be dawn. But no one is tired.
Everyone is in a mood of excitement, which is more effective than any functional drink or coffee or strong tea.
Even the oldest of them, Yang Wenlong and Yang Yang, stared at the TV screen with a hearty look at this time, and the reflection of the screen reflected in his eyes, which did not look like an old man at all.
Not to mention overtime, even if they want to reach a penalty shootout, they can keep guard, even if the game is over, I am afraid that few people can still sleep.
And it is not just the few people who are close to Gao Zheng that have behaved like this. In China, countless Chinese fans are the same.
This is the historical moment of Chinese football, they are waiting for a result.
