After Danilo came on the court, the game started again.

As the commentators analyzed, Atletico Madrid indeed regarded Danilo as a breakthrough in their offense.

Gao Zheng and Cork kept changing positions to assist Carrasco in taking turns to attack Danilo's defense.

Gareth Bale had to retreat to defense, which gave him an illusion that he had returned to the days when he played fullback in Southampton, and more often it was defense rather than attacking...

But he played on the left back at that time, not the right back!

Because Bale had to participate in the defense, Real Madrid's only counterattack opportunities were handed over to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo created the most threatening opportunity to counterattack after Real Madrid's second half began in the 81st minute.

At that time, he received a diagonal pass from Modric on the wing and dribbled the ball and rushed into Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

Although Benzema was desperately pulling forward to the highway in the middle, he still chose to shoot by himself after entering the penalty area.

In fact, at that time he had almost attracted the attention of all Atletico Madrid players. If he could pass the football over, Benzema would basically face an empty goal, with Atletico Madrid's central defender Savic in front of him, and his attention was still on Cristiano Ronaldo.

But the Portuguese didn't do this. At that moment, he might just want to compete with Gao Zheng. Of course, there is no problem. A top shooter still needs to have such confidence and domineeringness...

So facing the attacking goalkeeper Oblak, he chose to shoot himself!

"Ronaldo!!"

In Jose Maria's shout, the football shot by Cristiano Ronaldo was blocked by the attacking Oblak!

"oops!"

Seeing this, many Real Madrid fans hugged their heads with their hands and sighed to the sky.

If this ball is in, the situation will reverse...

"Although the ball was not scored, it sounded a wake-up call for Atletico Madrid's defense. Although they have the advantage now, but if they press the attack so much, the gap behind the defense will be caught by the opponent sooner or later. Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Bale, they are speed players and have extremely strong combat capabilities..." Xu Yang analyzed, he was a little worried.

Real Madrid concedes the ball, Carvajal was injured, and Danilo came up and was used to being unable to find his form... Real Madrid's current situation looks so bad that it can't be worse, it seems to be a good opportunity for Atletico Madrid.

But if Atletico Madrid really thinks so and pushes forward in a swarm of attacks, he is worried that the rear gear behind Atletico Madrid will be captured and used by Real Madrid.

After all, Real Madrid was once a team that counterattacked very quickly and sharply. They faced Ajax in the Champions League and broke through Ajax in just thirteen seconds.

From Ozil's counterattack to Ronaldo's final goal, all of which were touches.

If Atletico Madrid continues to play like this, Cristiano Ronaldo's shot just now will definitely not be Real Madrid's last chance in this game.

Simeone is also considering this issue.

After Danilo came on the court, he wanted to launch a fierce offensive while the opponent was not yet firm in his foothold and completely open a breakthrough from here.

But now it seems that if they haven't scored a goal yet, it will be troublesome to let Real Madrid use their good counterattack to score the goal first.

So Simeone planned to slow down the pace and shrink and prepare for overtime.

The game has now entered eighty minutes, and the ninety minutes are getting closer and closer to the end of the game.

It's hard to believe that the team can win Real Madrid in the remaining minutes.

I have to worry that after the team makes a rash move, Real Madrid will be defeated.

The safe approach is of course to shrink the defense and then play overtime.

Simeone is confident in the team's physical fitness. He believes that even if the game is dragged into overtime, Atletico Madrid can still gain the upper hand by relying on its physical advantage in these 30 minutes of overtime.

However, Real Madrid's physical fitness is almost exhausted. I think it is the end of the overtime game and can only defend passively.

So Atletico Madrid has a great chance of winning in overtime.

Thinking of this, there is no need to attack wildly in the last few minutes.

Simeone told his thoughts to assistant coach Boggs, who also fully agreed with his arrangement.

"The worst and worst result is to drag the game into a penalty shootout. But we had specialized in penalty shootout training before the game, so there was nothing to be afraid of," Boggs said.

Although Atletico Madrid lost to Real Madrid in overtime two years ago, time has changed and the situation is different now.

At that time, Atletico Madrid was dragged into overtime by Real Madrid at the end of the game, only one minute away from winning the cup for the first time in history. This huge psychological gap led to the team's complete collapse in overtime.

It's different now. Now Atletico Madrid is consciously dragging the game into overtime.

The players are mentally prepared and physically more than their opponents. There will be no situation where they will drag their opponents down in overtime.

So this arrangement is fine.

So Simeone was about to get up and go to the sidelines to tell the players that they should recover the formation appropriately and not let Real Madrid take advantage of their opportunity to attack.

The commentators from all over the country on the commentary table also saw the current situation. In this game, it was probably about to play overtime.

"Overtime is cruel for both teams, but not so cruel that it is completely unacceptable. Especially Atletico Madrid, they have more physical fitness, and playing 30 minutes more should be nothing serious. Real Madrid has to worry about it..." said Jose Maria.

"Actually, I hope the game can end within 90 minutes. After all, it's very hard for everyone to stay up late to watch the game. But at present, it's probably more beneficial to Atletico Madrid to play overtime..."

He Ping's statement was also recognized by Xu Yang: "Simone is very smart and calm, and did not choose to make a rash move because the situation seemed to be good. Ronaldo had few opportunities to perform in this game, but he was in good condition. The goal conceded in the first half was because Atletico Madrid ignored him when defending. Atletico Madrid could not fall twice in the same pit anyway..."

The conference room was brightly lit, and there were several rows of Red Bull and various instant coffees on everyone's table, but no one moved.

Even though I see this, I will have to play another thirty minutes more in the game. I am afraid that it will be dawn by then. But no one is tired.

Everyone is in an excited mood, which is more effective than functional drinks, coffee, and strong tea.

Even the oldest of them, Yang Wenlong, was staring at the TV screen in an energetic manner, with 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 the penalty kick, they can keep guarding. Even if the game is over, few people will probably be able to sleep.

And those who performed this way were not just the few people close to Gao Zheng, but countless Chinese fans all over China.
