Chapter 53 Inspiration

The function of the lighthouse is not to provide lighting for passing ships on the dark sea. It is impossible for the lighthouse to use it to illuminate the dark sea. The function of the lighthouse is to provide direction for ships in the dark, so that those sailors and fishermen who have just fought with the storm can see the brightest star in the dark as soon as they look up, so that they know where the coast is and where their home is.

The lighthouse is the best spiritual comfort for them in the darkness.

For every Atletico Madrid fan, the previous game was like a storm at sea. The ship they were riding was thrown up by the waves and smashed heavily. They were worried that the ship would capsize at any time.

In such darkness and despair, when a wave goes down, they suddenly see a light spot in the distance, which is the lighthouse!

The light of this lighthouse seems to be a sharp sword that can pierce the rainy night, bringing warmth and hope to the exhausted sailors.

When you see the light emitted by the lighthouse, you will think of the dry and comfortable beds, the delicious food, and the down-to-earth land... Inspired by the lighthouse, everyone will have the courage to overcome the storm and return home safely.

This is the importance of Gao Zheng's goal.

He is the hope of Atletico Madrid fans.

The few Atletico Madrid fans at the scene, no matter how crazy Real Madrid fans were, they were roaring and cheering in their throats.

The TV broadcast cut to Simeone in the box, and saw the banned Atletico Madrid head coach waving his fists wildly. Looking at the posture, it really makes people wonder if he would break the glass in the box...

On the coaching table of Atletico Madrid on the sidelines, Boggs, who replaced Simeone to command this game, was also waving his fists excitedly, and it didn't look much better than Simeone at all. Obviously, after working with Simeone, other colleagues in the coaching staff were also deeply influenced by him...

While Atletico Madrid was celebrating the goal, Real Madrid appeared in the close-up shots one by one. Whether it was head coach Ancelotti or Real Madrid players on the court, they all looked confused. They seemed to not believe that they were behind again, who had the advantage...

Casillas even maintained his legs spread out when the football flew into the goal, but his left leg was obviously bent, and his right leg was straightened and kicked to the ground. His center of gravity was tilted to the left, but his head twisted to the right, watching the football flew into the goal.

As soon as Ramos fell to the ground, he turned his head and looked at the goal. To confirm the result of the ball, he saw Casillas, who looked like a sculpture and the football in the goal. So he also kept turning his head and turned into a statue.

Cristiano Ronaldo, also in the wall of the man, is more active than Ramos. As a member of the wall, after Gao Zheng kicked the football out, he jumped up to block it. Before the air landed, he turned around and threw it and paid attention to the result of Gao Zheng's free kick.

What did he see in the end?

He saw the scene of football flying into the goal.

After landing, he became angry like a child because he lost the ball.

He is really angry.

Because he had two free kick opportunities in this game, he was only one step away from scoring the goal. Unexpectedly, Gao Zheng scored the first free kick!

This damn fate!

Now, in terms of individual goals, he is one less than Gao Zheng. At the team level, Real Madrid where he is also behind Atletico Madrid where Gao Zheng is, and he is at a disadvantage in all aspects...

If the game ends like this, he can be said to be a complete defeat!

For Cristiano Ronaldo, who did not regard Gao Zheng as his opponent from the bottom of his heart, this result was a very shameful and humiliating situation.

He was led by an opponent he looked down upon, and it was not the first time he lost to Gao Zheng in the Spanish Super Cup.

But that time, he could also say that he was injured and could not fully exert his strength.

So what about this time?

If he loses again this time, there will be no excuse.

Cristiano Ronaldo clenched his fists tightly, he would not let this happen!

After the game restarted, Real Madrid, who conceded the ball, launched a fierce attack on Atletico Madrid's goal again, just like after the first goal was conceded.

In order to strengthen the offense, Ancelotti also replaced Benzema with "Little Pea" Hernandez, who had no outstanding performance.

However, Gao Zheng's two goals greatly encouraged the morale of Atletico Madrid players. This time, facing Real Madrid's fierce offensive, they no longer just passively got beaten.

On the contrary, they were able to attack Real Madrid and also launched some decent counterattacks to curb Real Madrid's pounce and make Real Madrid slightly restrained.

Atletico Madrid's counterattack did make Real Madrid uncomfortable.

Logically speaking, they should have come out in full swing to equalize the score at the last moment or even reverse the victory.

But whenever their offensive is about to start, Atletico Madrid's counterattack can threaten the goal guarded by Casillas.

For example, Aveloa just passed the football into Atletico Madrid's penalty area, and Cristiano Ronaldo jumped up and headed the ball near the penalty spot, threatening Atletico Madrid's goal.

One minute later, Griezmann passed the ball to Gao Zheng, who shot 16 meters from the left side of the penalty area, slightly missed and threatened Real Madrid's goal.

Isco's long shot was offensive next. After another minute, Gao Zheng pulled to the side to make a cross. Griezmann's top shot at the edge of the small penalty area turned out to be high.

The commentators also saw that Atletico Madrid is completely different from Atletico Madrid, which was only passively beaten before.

Although they only lead Real Madrid by one goal, which is a very dangerous score, Atletico Madrid is confident of countering Real Madrid.

As the game entered the 80th minute, the game became more and more intense.

Real Madrid knows that there are ten minutes left and they must give it all. Atletico Madrid also knows that as long as they can hold these ten minutes, they can defeat their opponents for two consecutive seasons at Real Madrid for the first time in history.

In the 81st minute, Cristiano Ronaldo's shot at the penalty spot had already crossed the goalkeeper Moya's fingers, but was pushed out by Atletico Madrid central defender Miranda with his head on the goal line.

Three minutes later Isco passed the ball and Tony Cross's long shot went above the crossbar.

In the 86th minute, Gao Zheng often came to help the team get the ball during the retreat, but was kicked to the ground by Modric from behind.

His move aroused the dissatisfaction of Atletico Madrid players. Mario Suarez took the lead in standing up for Gao Zheng and pushed Modric away with force, almost pushing Modric to the ground.

Mario Suarez's move immediately attracted dissatisfaction from other Real Madrid players. They were already behind in the score and were full of anger. Suarez's move ignited the anger in their hearts.

Suddenly several Real Madrid players surrounded and accused Mario Suarez of his approach.

But this is actually the result that Atletico Madrid hopes to get, because now they are ahead of the score, and this conflict will inevitably consume game time, which is of course beneficial to them.

Commentator Jose Maria said: "Real Madrid players are really overwhelmed by anger. You have to figure out who needs more time now. Is it meaningful to argue and push with your opponent like this? Yes, Mario Suarez should get a yellow card for his impulse, but the price of just one yellow card can make Atletico Madrid win this game. Isn't it too cost-effective?"

Ray Hudson pointed out incisively that this matter was planned by Atletico Madrid: "I think Mario Suarez came up to stand up for Gao Ba, not only because of the deep teammates, but more because of the arrangement of their head coach Simeone. This is not the first time this controversial head coach has done this. In order to win, he can be said to be doing everything he can... I think Ancelotti's team should know this after fighting with Simeone so many times, but unfortunately, under the impetuousness of falling behind, Real Madrid players completely lost their IQ..."

In the end, the conflict lasted for three minutes. Modric, who was fouled, received a yellow card and came up to push Modric. Mario Suarez, who caused the riot, also received a yellow card. In the conflict, Miranda was also given a yellow card by the referee Raos because of his extreme actions.

Although the yellow card side is indeed more than Atletico Madrid, the game time was wasted for three minutes. Even if the referee can make up for these three minutes in the subsequent injury stoppage time, the mood and mentality of Real Madrid players are completely different.

Atletico Madrid even had a chance to expand the score at the last moment of the game.

At that time, goalkeeper Moya kicked the ball with a big foot, and Griezmann shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area and missed.

At the last moment of the game, Cork used a foul to block Real Madrid's last counterattack, and he received a yellow card.

Real Madrid players were very dissatisfied with the penalty. They believed that Cork should take a red card. Although his foul action was small, the foul was of great significance. The yellow card was not enough to calm the anger of Real Madrid players.

Atletico Madrid stopped when it was good and did not argue with the referee and Real Madrid players.

Of course, the referee Laos did not change his penalty, so Cork received the eleventh yellow card of the game, seven Atletico Madrid and four Real Madrid.
