Chapter 312 The first half
Danilo used too much force to pass back, and caught Navas off guard.
When Real Madrid fans saw Navas slipping under his feet, their hearts were raised.
Fortunately, Navas' second reaction was fast enough, otherwise Real Madrid would be behind in the eleven minutes of the game.
"What a pity!" He Pingwei said. "Gao Zheng was like he could predict what would happen next. When he saw Danilo preparing to pass back, he suddenly stepped forward. If Navas hadn't had the second reaction to be fast, he would have scored!"
Danilo himself was also scared, and he quickly apologized and thanked Navas.
"Danilo should be careful. His mistake in replying just now is really inappropriate..." said Jose Maria.
The game started again, and not long after, Real Madrid got the opportunity to attack. Cross made a cross from the 40-degree angle, Cristiano Ronaldo jumped high in front of the goal and headed the ball, but the ball flew out of the right bottom line.
Four minutes later, it was Ronaldo again. After receiving a pass from Modric, he shot from the left foot at the front of the penalty area, and the football flew out of the right bottom line again.
"...Ro was very active in this game, but he didn't hit the goal frame once in the first three shots..." He Ping introduced. He felt deep down that this might be a good thing, proving that the Portuguese was not in the best condition.
Although Ronaldo's three shots were not within the frame, Real Madrid gradually took the initiative on the court, and their offense was more and more powerful than Atletico Madrid.
In the 31st minute, Benzema dribbled the ball in the frontcourt and was knocked to the ground by Godin.
The referee not only gave Real Madrid a free kick in the frontcourt, but also showed Godin a yellow card.
The central defender had a yellow card in the first half, which was not a good thing for Atletico Madrid's defense.
But there is no way. If Godin didn't foul just now, Benzema might have dribbled the ball and killed it. When Benzema entered the penalty area, whether it was Godin or Jimenez, it would be impossible to foul.
This free kick is twenty-eight meters away from the goal, with a moderate distance and a slightly left position, but if you kick it with your right foot, it is just right for the upper left corner.
Cristiano Ronaldo stood in front of the football without hesitation and was ready to take the free kick. Although Bale was not there, James Rodriguez actually used an excellent free kick ability. However, in Real Madrid, even with Bale, such a free kick was basically for Ronaldo to take the free kick.
Atletico Madrid ranks on the wall, and Gao Zheng also goes to help.
He is 1.9 meters tall, which can effectively increase the height of the human wall.
After the walls were lined up, Cristiano Ronaldo was ready. He had already taken a few steps back and stood still, waiting for the referee to whistle.
The referee finally checked the wall to make sure they were in the right position, then pushed it away and blew the whistle in his mouth.
As soon as the whistle fell, Cristiano Ronaldo began to run, and then hit the football with his right foot!
Although Gao Zheng struggled to jump, the football flew over his head.
But at this height... I'm afraid it will fly directly out of the beam in the end, right?
Just when many people were thinking so, they saw the football fall rapidly after crossing the wall!
Go straight to the area in the upper left corner of the goal!
Fortunately, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak was very focused and he rushed out when he saw the football flying over the wall.
Now I just hit the flying football with two punches!
"Ro! Beautiful free kick!! This is a standard elevator ball!!" He Ping shouted. "Obrak also made a wonderful save!"
There was a burst of exclamation at the Bernabeu.
But the game has not been stopped because football has not gone out of bounds.
After the football was beaten by Oblak, the football was cleared by Atletico Madrid players, but the clearance was not far away and the football fell to Isco's feet.
Isco immediately stuffed the football to James Rodriguez.
James Rodriguez shot low after receiving the ball.
The football was blocked by Atletico Madrid players and then bounced out and landed at Benzema next to him.
Benzema turned around and volleyed.
This time the football slid out of the bottom line with the turf diagonally...
The constant cheers and cheers in the stands turned into a long sigh at this moment.
Benzema...
Benzema performed very well at the beginning of the season and became the team's top scorer for a while. He scored a goal in the first leg against Atletico Madrid.
But he was injured after that, missed four league rounds and returned only after two Champions League games.
He performed well after his return, and so far there are nineteen goals in the league.
But he was injured again.
He just returned from injury before the game against Atletico Madrid.
Judging from this shot, Benzema is obviously not in his normal state.
The injury affected him, which made him dare to exert force.
※※※
Real Madrid's previous advantage in the scene turned into this continuous attack, but unfortunately they failed to knock on Atletico Madrid's goal.
Next, Real Madrid's offensive weakened, while Atletico Madrid's offense gradually rose.
In the 37th minute, after receiving Gao Zheng's pass, Griezmann shot with his left foot in front of the penalty area. The football was pushed out of the baseline by Navas with one hand.
After the corner kick was taken, Gao Zheng jumped up in the crowd and actually grabbed the header and hit the goal with a header!
Unfortunately, under Ramos' close interference, his ball was high.
Soon Cork received a pass from Juan Fran and shot with his right foot in the right rib of the penalty area and was saved by Navas on the ground.
Gao Zheng in the penalty area inserted a supplementary shot and hit Varane again. The French central defender quickly returned to the defense and retreated to the penalty area line, saving Real Madrid's goal.
As for Ramos, his attention was all on Cork and was thrown away by Gao Zheng.
This is also the most threatening offensive in the first half of Atletico Madrid.
The match between the two sides then became flat, perhaps because it was almost the end of the first half, and no one wanted to concede the ball at the last moment.
And because the first half was smooth and there was no interruption.
So at the end of the 45th minute, the referee directly blew the whistle to the end of the first half.
No even one minute of injury stoppage time was given.
The score was still 0:0, and neither side scored a goal.
The deadlock may not be broken in the second half.
This made He Ping, who was in the commentary department, both relieved and worried. Two completely contradictory feelings appeared on him at the same time because on the one hand, he felt sorry for Atletico Madrid failed to score in the first half, and on the other hand, he felt glad that Atletico Madrid did not concede the goal in the first half.
The quality of Cristiano Ronaldo's free kick was really high, and the chaos caused later also made him feel heartbroken.
If Atletico Madrid only needs a draw in this game, that would be great...
Chapter completed!
