Aspect 1: Both sides won the Sino-European War in the middle of the week, with the same consumption.
Real Madrid ranked 3rd in La Liga with 19 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses. Las palmas, who won the relegation zone 3-0 away in the last round, ushered in a four-game winning streak in La Liga. At present, there is still a gap of four points with Atletico Madrid in front. In the first leg of the Champions League 1/4 final in mid-week, Real Madrid visited Juventus, and Cristiano Ronaldo helped the team get a fantastic start and put on a wonderful performance in the second half with a wonderful barb. Coupled with Marcelo's meritorious service, the result of beating the old lady 3-0 away can basically announce that the defending champions of the Champions League have booked a semi-final seat in advance. In addition, the great victory in the European War also kept all the soldiers of Real Madrid in high morale before the league derby.
Atletico Madrid ranked second in La Liga with 20 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses. La Coruna, the relegation player at home 1-0 in the last round, returned to the championship track. Last week, in the first leg of the China-Europe 1/4 final, the Bedsheet Army beat Sporting Lisbon 2-0 at home with goals from Cork and Gleizman, and the promotion situation was very optimistic. For Simone's team, if they can draw their opponents, they can continue to maintain a 4-point lead over their opponents, so that there is room for further mistakes in the rest of the schedule and there is a good chance to beat the big brother in the same city at the end of the season.
Judging from the match time of the two teams in China and Europe in a week, although the match of Real Madrid started two days earlier than that of Atletico Madrid, it was an away game after all, and Atletico Madrid was the home, and both sides were basically full of strength. Therefore, in terms of physical fitness, the consumption of the two teams is similar.
Aspect 2 C Ronaldo scored 25 goals in recent 14 games.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals in the first leg against Juventus, which prevented him from scoring in Europe this season. What's even more frightening is that the Real Madrid brothers scored 25 goals in the past 14 games, but failed to score in only two games, namely the away game against levante and the Portuguese warm-up match against the Netherlands last weekend. In 12 matches, there was a big four happiness (Real Madrid 6-3 Girona), a hat trick (Real Madrid 5-2 Real Sociedad) and eight goals. In this Madrid derby, Cristiano Ronaldo expects to continue the scoring momentum.
In addition, Ronaldo also has a personal honor, that is, the Spanish striker Wang this season. At present, his league goals have reached 22, tying Suarez. However, in the game that has ended this round, Messi completed wearing a hat. At present, Ronaldo is 7 goals away from Messi.
See if the derby frustrated by the three bells European War can be reborn.
Bell sat on the bench for 90 minutes in the European War in midweek, which was probably unexpected by Real Madrid fans. As a matter of fact, Sheng Da has been in good shape recently. China Cup scored a hat trick against the national football team and scored twice against las palmas in the last round. Just as the Welsh star was eager to prepare for the Champions League match against Juventus, Zidane poured cold water on him. There is one detail worth remembering. When Cristiano Ronaldo broke Juventus' goal, Real Madrid's bench was full of joy, but Bell looked dignified. Although he said in the interview that he was unhappy because he was provoked by the home fans, it was more like dealing with the media. Don't be abandoned by Qi Zu who is in good condition, and it won't affect Bell's mood at all? The answer is no.
In this derby, Bell still has to face the competition with isco. isco scored a hat trick in the warm-up match between Spain and Argentina last month, which can be said to dominate the game. But when he returns to the club, his efficiency will be more difficult than that of the national team. In the 20 18 season, isco scored only one goal in La Liga, and only one game in each event can play the whole game. Judging from his recent performance at Real Madrid, isco is no better than Bell.
Whether to use Bell or isco in this game mainly depends on which formation Zidane chooses. If 4-3-3 is used, the BBC starting should be popular, and if 4-4-2 is used to play diamond midfield, isco is obviously the first choice for the position of 10.
Watch the four-grid state, bravely meet the milestone, and look forward to breaking the ball shortage.
Atletico Madrid beat Sporting Lisbon 2-0 in midweek, and Gleizman scored a goal, but striker diego costa missed several opportunities. In the recent 1 1 games played for Atletico Madrid, Gezai scored 17 goals, including 13 goals and 4 assists. This efficiency is not much worse than C Ronaldo's recent performance. It is worth mentioning that this round of derby with Real Madrid, Gleizman will usher in the 200th milestone in Atletico Madrid. Diego costa's form is not very good, especially in the league. The last goal in La Liga was Atletico Madrid's 5-2 victory over Seville on February 26th, and no goal was scored in the following five games. Whether DC can recover from this derby and whether Gleizman can form a double sword combination will be a key for Atletico Madrid to deal with Real Madrid. And if there is only one attack point in the frontcourt, then the real Madrid defense led by Ramos will be much easier.
However, Atletico coach Simone is still full of confidence in diego costa. He even said that the European War and Sporting Lisbon were DC's best performances after returning to the team. "Today is Costa's best game since his return. He was desperate throughout the game, helping the team to press on on a large scale. I think this is the best game he played this year. "
Of course, in this case, it is more or less to cheer for your center before the derby. Simone knows how important diego costa is to Real Madrid.
Watch five rising stars of Atletico Madrid and look forward to Casmiro.
Simone's transformation of Thomas Palthe Yi this season is a highlight of Atletico Madrid. Because Diego retired last season and augusto fernandez moved to the Super League in winter, Atletico Madrid actually lacked a strong midfielder. Simone has replaced Thomas, who used to play on the wing, with midfield this season, and has achieved good results with Sol or Cork. Ghana star, height 1.85 meters, excellent physical condition. His interception ability is excellent, and his passing and long-range shooting skills are also good. Coupled with his strong desire to fight, Simone is very appreciative of the type of players. Last month, the club also completed the renewal of his contract. Thomas made 27 league appearances this season, including 22 starts, and his treatment even surpassed that of captain Gaby. Thomas only came off the bench in the mid-week China-Europe game, which can be fully understood as Simone resting in the iron waist and playing for Real Madrid.
Thomas's role in Atletico Madrid is similar to that of casemiro in Real Madrid. The former may be a little lacking in experience, but it is only strong in sports ability. Derby is bound to be fierce in midfield. Who can better play the role of a barrier, Thomas or casemiro, will undoubtedly reduce the pressure on their own defense, and also let the center and teammates in the frontcourt have more energy to attack. The shootout between Cristiano Ronaldo and Gleizman is naturally a major attraction, and the duel between Thomas and casemiro is also worthy of attention, which will even play a more decisive role in the trend of the game.
Watch out for six Atletico goalkeepers. There are few strong away teams.
Oblak, the Slovenian goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid, is definitely one of the best goalkeepers in today's football. In his career, he played 1, 5 1, and closed 86 games, with a closing rate close to 57%. So far this season, in 30 league matches, oblak has always kept full attendance, with a total of only 14 goals conceded, which is the goalkeeper with the least goals conceded, including 19 goals conceded. However, it is worth noting that it is difficult for oblak to keep a clean sheet when facing a strong team away from home. In the last three La Liga away games against Seville, Barcelona and Villarreal, Atletico scored one goal and conceded five goals. Facing the attack line led by Cristiano Ronaldo, oblak will be tested again.
Look at the seven ancestors. Simone has no advantage.
Real Madrid's record against Atletico Madrid in the past 10 was 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, which did not have much advantage. Since Zidane coached Real Madrid, he has won 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in 7 confrontations with Simone, and the same advantage is not great. However, Atletico's coaching career has always confronted Real Madrid 25 times, with a record of 7 wins, 8 draws 10 losses.
