Chapter 211 Midfield Meat Grinder
Chapter 211 Midfield Meat Grinder
"boom!!"
With Real Madrid's lightning-fast goal at the start, the sky of the Bernabeu Stadium seemed to be blown away by cheers!
Major media outlets released countless press releases almost immediately.
"Marca" published the moment of Ronaldo's header in the air on the entire front page, and the ultra-high-speed photography clearly captured the details of the ball 0.03 seconds before it deformed.
The gold-plated letters "FINALE" on the surface of the sphere reflected a cold light under the lights of the Bernabeu, forming a cruel contrast with Savic's terrified and dilated pupils.
Columnist Carlos Sanchez wrote passionately in his editorial: "When Modric's pass went through four Atletico players and no one stepped forward, we should have understood that this was not a football game, but a dimensionality reduction attack by a precision instrument on a primitive tribe!"
On Sky Sports' tactical analysis screen, Henry was using a laser pen to circle seven holes in Atletico's defence.
"Look at this defensive triangle," the French legend magnified the scene of Savage's header tenfold, "When Bale made the cross, Hernandez was looking at the ball, Savage was looking at Shakira on the billboard, and Song Wen -" he deliberately paused for two seconds, "was chewing gum!"
The broadcaster cut out real-time data at the right time: Ronaldo's jumping height exceeded the NBA average vertical jump record, and the point of contact reached 2.93 meters.
Ferdinand held up the model of the "Head of the Year" trophy awarded by the Players' Union in the live broadcast room: "This header is worth two Ballon d'Or awards! I suggest that UEFA declare Savic a work injury!"
Social media was instantly flooded with “#C罗力力”.
Some netizens photoshopped the Atletico Madrid center back into Tom who was hit by a train in Tom and Jerry, and the number of likes exceeded one million in half an hour.
TikTok's popular challenge has become the "Savic turn imitation show", and even Barcelona fans have uploaded a spoof video of Pique doing a robot dance.
"This is not a game, it's an anatomy class!" Torres, editor-in-chief of AS, smashed a model of the Atletico Madrid team logo in a special program. "When Real Madrid can complete the process from goalkeeper serving to scoring in 7 seconds, it means that every cell of their body is soaked in the muscle memory of winning three consecutive Champions League titles! Look at Casemiro's running position--"
He pulled up the thermal image of the Brazilian midfielder sprinting, "The through pass route was blocked 0.5 seconds before Song Wen started to return to defense. This kind of prediction can only be described as terrifying!"
Camp Nou legend Xavi was livid during a live broadcast on Catalan TV: "I feel sad for football! When 33-year-old Ronaldo can still bombard the penalty area like he did when he was 20, it shows that Atletico's defense is not even as good as the Spanish Second Division!"
He deliberately captured a nine-square animated picture of Song Wen chewing gum in place, "A real leader should chase back 70 meters like Messi, not like a tourist!"
"Listen to the cheers!" The ESPN reporter on the scene extended the microphone to the Bernabeu South Stand. The chorus of "Hala Madrid" by 70,000 people made the camera tremble slightly.
A 50-meter-long giant TIFO was unfolded in the die-hard fan area - Cristiano Ronaldo transformed into a medieval knight, stepping on a dragon with Song Wen's portrait printed on it.
When the camera swept across Atletico's expeditionary area, only about 30 fans were still waving their scarves, and security personnel were preventing them from tearing down posters with Simeone's portrait.
"442" magazine released an in-depth analysis overnight: "From Carvajal's diagonal long pass in the 3rd second to Benzema's wall pass in the 9th second, Real Madrid completed the 'nerve decapitation' of Atletico Madrid with the first 10 touches of the ball. This surgical attack efficiency can only be compared with Guardiola's Dream Three Barcelona - but please note that Barcelona does not have a 1.93-meter aerial nuclear bomb!"
"C Ronaldo's jump height exceeds the aviation accident line of Mount Everest!" The Twitter account of the Journal of Sports Science used a satellite cloud map to mark the trajectory of the header. "Taking into account the deflection force of the earth's rotation, this goal should be calculated with an additional 0.78 points!"
With Ronaldo's opening strike, Song Wen, who was standing in the midfield without even moving, immediately became the target of criticism from the media.
The front page of Mundo Deportivo is a nine-square grid comparing the moment Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal with a header and Song Wen chewing gum, with the caption "The gap between true believers and false believers".
A Catalan editor photoshopped Song Wen into a servant kneeling down to Ronaldo, and his Twitter profile picture was tampered with to change it into a crying emoticon. The topic #FalseBelievers# was read over 100 million times in three hours.
"1 minute and 07 seconds! Song Wen's moving distance is even shorter than Ronaldo's jumping height!" The Daily Telegraph used thermal imaging to circle the static silhouette of Atletico Madrid's No. 17. "When the Bernabeu grass was shaking due to Ronaldo's dunk, the young man who claimed that he was 'not ready to face greatness' didn't even wipe off the grass under his feet!"
An AI-generated spoof video went viral on TikTok: Song Wen, wearing Real Madrid's No. 7 jersey, presented flowers to Ronaldo in the player tunnel, with "Conquer" playing in the background music.
A high-profile comment in the comment area wrote: "I suggest Atletico Madrid's No. 17 wear a cheering uniform instead. His idol phobia is more serious than Benzema's scapegoating physique!"
The front-page headline of Gazzetta dello Sport was shocking: "The Eastern Bubble Bursts!" The article quoted Pirlo's sharp comment: "Real superstars never serve as spectators in crucial battles! Look at Song Wen's hypocritical tweet before the game, "It's hard to refuse the kindness." It's simply a blasphemy against the sport of football!"
The newspaper deliberately juxtaposed Song Wen's tweet praising Ronaldo with the animated picture of Savage's header error, which was extremely ironic.
"His stillness is a crime against football!" Wenger was heartbroken in the BeIN Sports commentary booth, with a laser pen locked on the sponsor logo on Song Wen's socks. "When Nike designers implanted GPS chips in sneakers, they never thought that someone could create the miracle of 'zero displacement'!"
A large number of technical analyses have emerged on social media: some users used satellite positioning to calculate and prove that the GPS coordinates of Song Wen when he kicked the ball and the moment of the goal were no more than 2 centimeters apart; Cope TV used a military infrared device to scan and declared that "Atletico Madrid's No. 17's body temperature was 3.2℃ lower than the grass, and he is suspected to have entered hibernation."
At this moment, Grealish, who was in a bar, smacked his lips as he watched the news constantly refreshing on his phone.
Real Madrid only scored one goal. Looking at the current media reports, people who don’t know would think that Real Madrid has already defeated Atletico Madrid.
But this is understandable.
After all, world football has suffered from Song Wen for a long time.
It is conceivable that the day Song Wen lost the game was the birthday of world football.
At this moment at the Bernabeu Stadium, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had scored a goal in an instant, was celebrating excitedly.
The Portuguese man jumped high, then landed with his arms outstretched.
"SIUUUUU!!!"
Ronaldo's signature celebration took the cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium to a higher level.
Simeone frowned on the sidelines.
He now regretted listening to Song Wen's advice.
In this game, either all the main players should play, or Song Wen should not be allowed to play.
He obviously underestimated the weakness of the substitute lineup when facing Real Madrid's BBC combination attack.
After all, Simeone never expected that his substitute players would lose the ball within one minute of the start of the game.
This was a nightmare start for a team that played defensive counterattacks.
At the Bernabeu Stadium, Song Wen watched Ronaldo celebrating, and this scene was instantly captured by the camera.
In the commentary booth, the Spanish commentator laughed wildly and said:
"Look at that boy, his eyes are full of envy when he looks at Ronaldo! Maybe he also wants to be loved by so many people like Ronaldo. The look in his eyes is clearly that of a little fanboy looking at his idol!"
Song Wen withdrew his gaze only after Ronaldo finished his move.
He silently took two steps back and adjusted his position.
It only took Real Madrid one minute to break through Atletico Madrid's goal, which was obviously a bit beyond Song Wen's expectations.
But he really didn't have any good solution right now. The nuclear power mode could only be activated once after three games without receiving a yellow card.
In last week's match against Barcelona, Song Wen had already activated the nuclear power mode.
Now it is impossible for him to run around wildly from the start like he did against Barcelona last week.
Besides, defense is not his forte...
"and many more……"
Song Wen's eyes lit up.
Although he himself is not good at defense, there are people on the opposite side who are good at it!
Song Wen originally wanted to use his stolen attention on Ronaldo or Bale, trying to match their abilities with his own, to see if they could run faster or jump higher.
But in the current situation, it is obviously most important to gain some defensive capabilities.
So he moved forward again and returned to the forward position.
When the game resumed and Atletico Madrid kicked off, Song Wen began to walk slowly towards Real Madrid's half.
As Song Wen moved, Real Madrid's midfielder Casemiro came over immediately.
Even though Song Wen didn't run at all, Casemiro still stuck to him closely.
Seeing that the other party was offering his butt to him, Song Wen didn't hesitate and directly chose to touch it.
Casemiro turned around in horror and was met with Song Wen's harmless smile.
[Stealing Attention (Casemiro), gaining ability - Meat Grinder. The Brazilian defensive midfielder is famous for his ability to sweep through the midfield, combined with his accurate anticipation and interception, which made Messi say in an interview, "He always knows where I'm going to go"]
[Meat Grinder: When the opponent enters the five-meter range of you with the ball, the system will automatically calculate the three routes with the highest probability of breakthrough (accuracy 87%), and strengthen the host's lower limb explosive power to 300% of the current physical limit, lasting for 3 seconds. ]
After seeing the abilities he had acquired, Song Wen looked at Casemiro with even more kindness in his eyes.
As Casemiro watched in horror, he began to slowly retreat back out of Real Madrid's half.
"Song Wen... why is he always retreating? From this position, he has already retreated to the defensive midfielder position!"
In the live broadcast room, looking at Song Wen's actions, Zhan Jun's eyes were full of confusion.
In reality, Song Wen's position was moved forward to the forward position at the beginning of the game. Now, as the game progresses, Song Wen has moved to the defensive midfielder position. What does this mean?
"Is it because Real Madrid's attack put Atletico under great pressure, so Song Wen had to choose to go back to defend first?"
After hearing Fan Zhiyi's words, Zhan Jun was puzzled:
"But Atletico is already one goal behind! Aren't you going to attack? You've been defending... You made a mistake! Ramos intercepted Atletico's pass!"
Ramos passed the ball directly to Modric.
Modric's blonde hair shone coldly under the lights of the Bernabeu. After the Croatian midfielder completed a two-pass combination with Kroos, he suddenly sent a long diagonal pass with the outside of his left foot.
The ball drew a precise arc of 28 meters in the air and found Bale who was sprinting at full speed on the right.
The Welshman dribbled the ball five meters away, and Savage's hasty attempt to steal the ball caused him to lose his balance, and the grass was plowed into four messy grooves under his spikes.
"One-on-one!" The roar of Spanish commentator Pedro pierced the live broadcast room.
Bale broke into the penalty area at the 12-yard line. At the moment when Oblak left the goal to attack, Song Wen suddenly moved two steps sideways. This seemingly strolling movement happened to be stuck on the route that Bale had to pass to Ronaldo! The ball hit his shin guard hard and reflected out of the bottom line. The Bernabeu rang out a uniform gasp.
"An interception from a God's perspective!" Zhan Jun called up the heat distribution chart on the tactical board. "Song Wen's defensive movement distance this time was only 1.7 meters, but the system shows that he blocked 73% of Real Madrid's passing routes this time!"
Fan Zhiyi pointed at the replay screen and said: "Pay attention to the 0.5 seconds before Modric passed the ball, Song Wen raised his head to observe! He predicted the passing line before Bale started!"
The broadcast camera cuts to the high-altitude perspective at the right time: when Modric kicked the ball, the area where Song Wen was located was marked as a red high-risk zone, and his subsequent movement trajectory perfectly coincided with the flight path of the football.
Real Madrid players surrounded the referee to protest against handball, but replays showed that Song Wen's arms were pressed against his torso.
Zhan Jun watched the replay and felt both amused and annoyed:
"Look at this scene. When Real Madrid moved, Atletico Madrid's players immediately became nervous and were frantically surrounding them. Only Song Wen seemed to be taking a walk. But in the end, the one who disrupted Real Madrid's attack was still Song Wen!"
Fan Zhiyi said:
"But now there is no danger of contact, Real Madrid has a corner kick opportunity!"
In the corner area, Kroos kicked the ball inwards and it went straight into the small penalty area.
Ronaldo headed the ball towards the goal, overpowering Savic. The goalkeeper fell to the ground in surrender, but Song Wen suddenly appeared in front of the goal line and blocked the ball with his thigh!
Slow motion showed that he started blocking the moment Ronaldo jumped, as if he had predicted the trajectory of the header two frames in advance.
"Song Wen!" Zhan Jun shouted excitedly in the Douyin live broadcast room, "When the goalkeeper was already out of reach, he actually blocked the ball again in front of the goal line!"
Fan Zhiyi scratched his head.
As a former professional defender, he didn't know how Song Wen did it.
"How on earth did he think of appearing in that position? Why does it feel like he could predict it in advance?"
There was a huge booing from the Bernabeu South Stand.
Zidane tore off his tie on the sidelines and made a "press forward" gesture to Casemiro.
The Brazilian midfielder immediately moved forward to the 30-meter area, forming a triangle passing network with Modric and Kroos.
When the football reached the top of the penalty area after 17 passes, the broadcast screen suddenly split into red and blue - Real Madrid's passing network formed a strange vacuum zone around Song Wen.
"He is using his position to divide the battlefield!" Fan Zhiyi tapped the tactical screen, "Look at this defense. Song Wen always stays on the passing line of the BBC combination, forcing Real Madrid to go to the wing!"
In the 45th minute of the game, Marcelo made a -degree cross from the left.
Ronaldo's penalty kick reached a height of 89 centimeters, but when he touched the ball, he found that Song Wen actually jumped up at the same time! The muffled sound of the two heads colliding was heard through the microphone on the sidelines, and the football bounced vertically six meters high.
"C Ronaldo's jumping height has not decreased compared to before! It's Song Wen who jumped too high!!"
