Chapter 686: Either making a comeback, or on the way to a comeback
During the halftime break, what Real Madrid had to do was how to deploy tactics for the second half.

When it comes to this Copa del Rey, it doesn’t matter if you lose to other teams, even second-tier teams can do it. It’s not like Real Madrid has never lost.

But the opponent is a sworn enemy in the same city, and Real Madrid needs to save some face.

In the second half, Real Madrid used a new formation to deal with Atletico Madrid.

Camavinga was placed at the left back position, and Ceballos sat in the midfield to provide stable support for the forward line.

In this game, Rossi replaced the injured Benzema as the center, attacking with Valverde and Vinicius.

This is also Ancelotti's attempt for a new attack line in the future.

After all, Benzema is also 35 years old.

While still irreplaceable, attendance and status are not guaranteed.

With the strong breakthroughs of Valverde and Vinicius, Rossi can reduce his retreat and focus on offensive scoring.

In the 50th minute, Real Madrid played exquisite cooperation outside Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

Ceballos transferred the ball from the left rib to Valverde's feet on the right rib.

Under the continuous impact of Real Madrid's wings, Atletico Madrid's defense areas on both sides were somewhat loose, and Ceballos seized the opportunity to transfer the ball.

Valverde passed the ball directly to Rossi without stopping, and then diagonally inserted into the penalty area from the outside.

Without making eye contact with Valverde, Rossi knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw his next move.

Also without stopping the ball, Rossi used the arch of his foot to pass the ball to the forward Valverde, who followed up with a furious shot towards the far corner of the goal.

Oblak formed a shield with his palms, quickly got down to the ground, and saved the powerful and heavy shot.

Although the danger was resolved, Valverde's shot was too fast and too heavy, making Oblak unable to accurately control the landing point after diving.

But what worried him still happened.

The ball was thrown towards the center of the small penalty area.

What's even worse is that Rosie happened to appear in this area.

It's over, it's too late!
Oblak didn't even have time to react for a second time, and Rossi easily sent the ball into the empty goal.

1: 1!

Real Madrid equalized the score.

Simone had a straight face and bared his teeth.

Messi and Ronaldo gave him headaches before, but now it is Rossi's turn, giving him not only a headache, but also chest tightness and shortness of breath.

It has been four years, and the game against Real Madrid has only been a draw. Who can bear to replace him?

However, Barcelona did not even draw, which gave Simeone a lot of inner balance.

Ceballos's appearance has indeed revitalized the connection between Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt.

But the defensive problem still exists.

In the next game, Atletico Madrid will still focus on cracking down on the loopholes in Real Madrid's defense.

Facing Atletico Madrid's key attack, Real Madrid maintained a compact midfield position in defense and also required wing players to return to defense to ensure defensive intensity.

Ceballos used excellent running to retreat to protect Camavinga.

Once there is a chance to counterattack, push Valverde forward.

皇马由4-4-2灵活转化4-3-3，塞瓦略斯功不可没。

Ancelotti once again used the wings to connect with Ceballos' runs to avoid problems on the defensive end.

In the 70th minute, after Atletico Madrid continued to invest its troops, it finally used the speed of the wing to open up the opening and pass the ball to the rib area.

Ceballos couldn't make up for it, and when Morata was about to raise his foot to shoot, left back Camavinga fell to the ground to block the opponent's forward's shot.

This was a tacit understanding between the midfielder and the defender. The defensive problem that Ancelotti had been worried about was resolved by the two.

After stealing the ball, Real Madrid launched a counterattack.

Modric advanced with the ball at high speed, and then passed it to Rossi who retreated to receive the ball.

Because Rossi seldom retreated before, Atletico Madrid's defense was a little lax and did not close the defense immediately.

When they hurried forward to intercept, Rossi did not stop the ball, but quickly turned around and moved the ball forward.This trip completely confused Atletico Madrid's midfielder.

Before the two midfielders could close the door to defend, Rossi broke through at super speed.

Once the midfield defense is breached, the back line is directly exposed to Rossi.

Central defender Savage made a move, but Rossi easily passed him with a "fried ball".

Another central defender Hermoso was about to intercept, but Rossi faked a shot and dunked, taking advantage of the change in rhythm to take the ball to the left.

Hermoso should have defended, but Valverde crossed into the middle, forcing him to abandon Rossi and focus on others.

But something unexpected happened.

Full-back Reni Dore, who was originally guarding Valverde, failed to switch defenses with center back Hermoso, leaving Rossi in an unmarked area.

Just as Renidore was about to turn around to defend, Rossi made a sudden move and kicked the ball towards the near corner with his right foot.

Rather than kicking, stabbing is more appropriate.

The suddenness of the shot caught goalkeeper Oblak off guard.

Moreover, this shot also has a bit of an outside instep.

Although his body had quickly rushed towards the ball, it was too late. Oblak, who saw the ball flying into the goal from his fingertips, fell to the ground and rolled over, looking desperately and helplessly into the goal.

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! 】

[Rossi singled out Atletico Madrid's entire defense and sent the ball into the net! 】

[2:1! 】

[It's incredible! 】

[Rossi’s goal is the perfect use of technique, awareness and speed! 】

【I dare to say that! 】

[This cool goal will definitely come within the next week! 】

【Watched repeatedly by fans! 】

【Relish it! 】

[Real Madrid staged a comeback again! 】

[Atletico Madrid’s defense became the backdrop for Rossi’s goal! 】

There is not much time left and Atletico Madrid must equalize the score in the remaining time.

But Real Madrid still relies on the abundant physical fitness of rotation players to relieve the pressure on the defense.

In the 85th minute, Valverde's long shot from outside the penalty area completely killed the game and helped Real Madrid reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.

This is also the first time in four years that Real Madrid has reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.

Its difficulty is more difficult than the Champions League.

While Real Madrid fans were still immersed in their Copa del Rey victory, they were tied with their opponents in the league match with Real Sociedad three days later.

In this game, the attacking line composed of Rossi, Benzema and Vinicius was shut out by Real Sociedad's solid defense.

After Benzema returned from injury, he was in a sluggish state and made many mistakes in the offense, which led to Real Madrid's offensive failure.

Vinicius has performed poorly in the last two games, and Ancelotti intends to put him back in the starting position.

But in this game, Vinicius's finishing ability is really unbearable.

His teammates are unreliable, and Rossi alone cannot sustain the offense.

Benzema is not in good condition, so Rossi has to be both father and mother, linking up the organization and attacking forward.

But it is always difficult for one person to withstand the entire defense line of Real Sociedad.

As Real Madrid drew and Barcelona won, the points between the two teams were reduced to 1 point.

The competition for the La Liga championship has become tense again.
