Chapter 64 We are the Champions League champions!
"Baraja successfully stole the ball."
"Real Madrid players protested the foul, but the referee didn't blow the whistle."
"Look at Atletico's counterattack this time."
"Baraja quickly carried the ball forward and passed it to Belleron."
"Belleron stopped the ball in the open space and passed it forward."
“Nice through ball!!!”
"The pass went to the right side of the box."
"Hasselbaink rushed forward, blocked Elguera with his body, and shot directly!!!"
“The ball goes in!!!”
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Atletico Madrid! Atletico Madrid!!"
"In the 53rd minute, after Atletico Madrid's midfielder intercepted the ball, Hasselbaink quickly counterattacked and knocked the ball into Real Madrid's goal with a powerful shot."
“1 to 0!!!”
"My God, that through ball from Belleron was so beautiful, it was like a surgical knife."
"Everyone can watch the slow-motion replay again."
"Baraha did make some moves on his hands when he made the tackle, but they were minor and relatively subtle."
"Savio lost his balance and the ball was taken away, but the referee probably didn't see it."
"Look at Belleron's through ball. There were four defenders around him, and this pass directly tore through two lines of defense."
"Hasselbaink calmly seized the opportunity this time. This is also his best shooting area, the right side of the penalty area!"
…
Amid the crazy cheers of Atletico Madrid fans, all Atletico Madrid players rushed out of the stadium frantically.
Yang Hao also cheered excitedly on the sidelines, applauding the players' wonderful performance.
This goal didn't come easy!
Who would have thought that this was Atletico Madrid's second shot of the game.
When Yang Hao thought of this, he couldn't suppress his ecstasy.
Goal!
Finally scored a goal!!!
He even had the urge to roar to the sky because he knew too well the value of this goal.
But he immediately regained his composure and regained his composure.
Now is not the time to celebrate.
Real Madrid will be even more terrifying in the future because Bosque is going to play for his life!
So, Yang Hao immediately walked to the sidelines and kept calling for the players to come back.
"Reuben, well done!" Yang Hao first gave Balaha a hug.
Baraha felt the trust from this peer, which touched him deeply.
"Juan, that kick was a work of art. I'm so proud of you."
"Thank you, Boss."
"Jimmy, keep up the good work." Yang Hao encouraged Hasselbaink.
But soon, he got to the point.
"Real Madrid's counterattack is about to come. All of us must be mentally prepared and cheer up. We must defend this goal advantage no matter what. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Also, blindly defending isn't our style, nor is it a rational approach. We need to counterattack when we have the chance. We must be resolute, quick, and make them hurt!"
"good!"
…
Atletico Madrid players returned to the field and the game resumed.
As expected, Bosque made a substitution quickly.
Golden Wolf Guti replaced Savio and the formation became 5212.
This was also the starting tactic in the Champions League final against Valencia.
Bosque's intention is very clear, he wants to strengthen the offense, but at the same time stabilize the defense.
After Guti came on the pitch, he appeared in the attacking midfielder position, with the double striker combination of Raul and Morientes in front of him.
This is Spain's attacking trident.
Yang Hao also made adjustments immediately, signaling Fresnedoso and Solari to retreat and move closer to the position of the double defensive midfielders to form a second line of defense.
You know, Guti is not an easy person to deal with.
Many people's impression of Guti is that his passing is sometimes ineffective, but few people know that the current Golden Wolf Guti has very strong offensive firepower. He has scored 6 goals and 3 assists in La Liga this season, and has delivered an outstanding performance of 1 goal and 4 assists in the Champions League.
Next season, Guti will score 14 league goals, and he will be wearing the No. 14 jersey, which confirms the nickname "Mr. 14" given to him by Real Madrid fans.
When Real Madrid started to rush out, the two full-backs actively pressed forward, almost reaching the position of midfielder. The formation also changed from 5212 to 3412, and Carlos' side was even further forward.
This immediately made people feel the powerful strength of Real Madrid.
It’s not that Real Madrid’s stars are not strong enough, but that Bosque’s tactics are a bit conservative.
Atletico Madrid adopted a defensive posture and still deployed its troops near the center line near its own half, ready to fight.
Moreover, after replacing Guti, Real Madrid not only played more actively on the flanks, but also had more players in the middle, which immediately posed a greater threat to Atletico's defense.
For a moment, there was panic in Atletico Madrid's penalty area.
Real Madrid tried to send the ball into the penalty area and find Morientes several times, but they were met with Atletico's tenacious sniping, especially on the two flanks, where the defensive players performed very bravely.
The players on both sides also began to play with a sense of tension.
Especially in the 64th minute, when Salgado attacked in the frontcourt, he tried to go to the flank to cooperate with Morientes, but was blocked by Beybul.
Guti protested to the referee, saying that Bejbur's action was rough and fouled. The Czech player argued, and the two got into a heated argument, which even caused players from both teams to gather together. The situation was even a little out of control.
In the end, the referee gave each of the two players a yellow card, calmed the players on both sides, and the game was able to resume.
But this scene also made everyone feel the intensity of the game.
Yang Hao immediately made a substitution, replacing Beybul who had a yellow card with Pablo Garcia.
Real Madrid took advantage of Atletico Madrid's substitutions and the team's unstable position to launch a fierce attack and fish in troubled waters.
In the 71st minute, the midfielder made another successful interception.
Fresnedoso and Aguilera teamed up to pressure Carlos, pinning the Brazilian left-back to the wing, and successfully intercepted the ball and passed it to Baraja, who glanced ahead and made an overhead pass.
At this time, Real Madrid's two central defenders Elguera and Campo were pulled to the right side of Atletico Madrid by Hasselbain, leaving the entire middle road exposed.
Belleron spotted the opportunity and quickly followed up at the moment Baraja passed the ball, moving forward through the gap between Elguera and Karanka and heading straight for the penalty area behind him.
Baraja's pass fell right in front of Belleron, but the Spanish midfielder did not slow down to stop the ball in mid-air. Instead, he predicted the landing point of the ball, and when the football landed , he kicked the ball forward.
The entire process of stopping the ball was very smooth, just like dribbling the ball, and the football rolled obediently along the route set for it by Belleron.
Casillas decisively left the goal to attack, but halfway through, he realized that it was too late.
After Belleron caught up with the ball, he made a light lob shot, which passed the attacking Casillas and slowly fell into the Real Madrid goal behind him.
The Spanish midfielder turned quickly and ran all the way to the area where Atletico fans were.
Behind him, the football fell gently, as if it was held in someone's hands, and slowly fell into Real Madrid's goal line.
The referee's whistle to confirm the goal sounded in an instant.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"
In an instant, the entire Mestalla Stadium erupted in the almost crazy cheers of Atletico Madrid fans.
Everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs.
Atletico Madrid players including Belleron, Hasselbaink, Baraja, Solari and others rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the team's second goal of the game.
2 to 0!
The live TV camera swept over and found that all the Real Madrid fans had expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces, because they simply could not believe that the Champions League champions would be defeated by a team that narrowly avoided relegation.
How is this possible?
But the shocking score on the scoreboard told them mercilessly that this was the fact and they had to accept it.
…
In the luxury box of the Mestalla Stadium, Florentino and his friends were also watching the game in amazement.
Trailing by two goals, Real Madrid launched an almost crazy attack.
Bosque even seemed a little desperate.
But Atletico Madrid adopted a tight defensive tactic.
In the 80th minute, Yang Hao even replaced Belleron with Gaspar, adopted a 451 three-midfielder tactic, and pushed Aguilera to the midfield.
This completely destroyed Real Madrid's confidence in a comeback, especially when their physical energy was increasingly consumed, the players began to feel powerless and made frequent mistakes.
"I didn't expect that he would actually succeed!" DeBrass still couldn't believe it.
He knew Yang Hao and had chatted with him once or twice, but he never imagined that Yang Hao could actually lead the team to beat Real Madrid.
This is the Champions League champion this season!
And what about Atletico Madrid?
More than a month ago, they were still a rookie team that countless people believed was bound to be relegated.
Who would have thought that after Yang Hao took over as coach, in just over a month, not only did he successfully avoid relegation, but he was also able to defeat Real Madrid and win the King's Cup. This is simply unbelievable!
"It's unimaginable , how did he do it?" Fernandez Tapias was also amazed.
Although they are fans of Real Madrid, it does not prevent them from being surprised by Yang Hao's team.
Only Florentino.
Today, Sir Alex Ferguson is full of confidence and firmly believes that his superstar strategy can bring new life to Real Madrid and help Real Madrid get out of the quagmire of debt. Therefore, no matter who wins or loses tonight, he doesn't care.
Because the winner will eventually lose to him!
"Just wait and see, this will be Atletico Madrid's last feast!" Florentino said lightly, his tone full of confidence.
This is his judgment.
"This summer, this team is bound to fall apart. With over a dozen players, or even the entire first team, vying to leave, and the team saddled with debt, a team like this won't last long."
After a pause, Mr. Ferguson snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "I really hope that Yang Hao can coach Atletico Madrid for a while longer, so that I can prove to him in person who is right in the La Liga next season!"
At the end of his speech, Florentino's face was full of murderous intent.
Those who are familiar with him, such as De Blas and Tapias, know that this is the Florentino Perez who emerged from the shopping mall.
He has never been a pushover.
"Just wait, I'll get back everything Sans lost tonight with interest!"
