Chapter 20 Counterattack
When Messi dribbled forward with the ball, Simeone had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, when Messi was facing the defense of Felipe and Godin, he still controlled the ball at his feet in a leisurely manner and made Godin's foul.
At the moment of Messi's run-up, Simeone had a dangerous warning.
This high-quality free kick bypassed the wall. Even Li Qingshan, the tallest player in the team, couldn't block the ball.
Simeone shook his head on the sidelines, who can he blame for such a conceded goal?
This is entirely a manifestation of Messi's personal strength. Such a conceded goal is a bit unreasonable, but the reality is that Atletico Madrid is behind at their home court.
The most important thing is that you can't let this goal disrupt your rhythm of the game.
In fact, Atletico Madrid's tactics were relatively successful. They successfully contained Barcelona's offense, and they also used set kicks and counterattacks to threaten Barcelona's goal several times.Moreover, before Messi played, Barcelona did not get too many good offensive opportunities, which shows that Atletico Madrid's tactics are effective.
However, Messi's personal performance wiped out Atletico Madrid's efforts in the first half. In this case, Atletico Madrid must consider attacking.
It's just that Barcelona, who just scored a goal, is in high spirits. If they attack rashly at this time, it is more likely that Barcelona will seize the opportunity to score consecutive goals.This super giant has such strength.
In fact, Martino also arranged it in this way. He made a push forward on the sidelines, so that Barcelona would go all out and take this opportunity to strengthen the attack.
Simeone pressed down with both hands, signaling the Atletico Madrid players to stabilize the situation first and not to rush into it.
..........
If it is said that the biggest change Simeone brought to Atletico Madrid is, it is that Simeone transformed Atletico Madrid into a "prohibited" iron army.
Simeone's emphasis on tactical discipline is almost harsh.
After seeing Simeone's gesture, the Atlético Madrid players didn't think much of it.Many players on the field were single-handedly promoted or introduced by Simeone, and Simeone has brought Atletico Madrid two championship trophies, the UEFA Cup and the Copa del Rey, and may even aspire to the league this season.Therefore, the players have full trust in Simeone.
Since the coach told us to hold on and keep playing like before, we did.
Of course, Atletico Madrid has not changed at all. Messi's personal breakthrough poses too much threat. Therefore, when the game restarts, Arda Turan only focuses on one thing - sticking to Messi .
He doesn't care about other things, he will post wherever Messi goes, and never give Messi a chance to comfortably hold the ball.
No.607 minutes, Messi reached for the ball on the right side of the midfield, Iniesta hesitated, and passed the ball to Messi.
But before Messi received the ball, he was directly knocked over by Arda Turan.
Messi fell to the ground and complained to the referee with open hands.Arda Turan also knew that his actions were challenging the referee's standards for issuing cards, so he stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and pulled Messi up from the ground.
After the referee came over to warn Arda Turan, he did not deal a card to him.
Li Qingshan looked at Messi enviously.
This is the treatment of a superstar!Dedicated personnel to mark and stay close at every step.
When can I enjoy this kind of treatment?Li Qingshan thought with some longing.
If Messi, who is depressed by Arda Turan's inseparable marking, knows Li Qingshan's thoughts, he might complain about it.
It's just that the current situation of Atletico Madrid is not too optimistic. When they are one goal behind, they still cannot control the initiative on the court and can only defend passively.
Barcelona's ball possession tactics can actually be used in defense-keep the football firmly under your feet, so the party without the ball will naturally have no chance to attack.
No.70 minutes, Barcelona created a chance to shoot through a quick pass. Iniesta's shot from the outside of the penalty area was caught by the tall and long Courtois with both hands.
Li Qingshan, who was unmarked in the middle circle at the moment, immediately smelled the counterattack.
"Tebaut!" Li Qingshan yelled at Courtois!
Courtois also saw Li Qingshan who had no defensive players within ten meters in front of him.
He tried his best to throw the ball, and it fell to Li Qingshan's feet.
After receiving the ball, Li Qingshan turned around and dribbled the ball into Barcelona's penalty area.
On his left and right sides, Diego Costa and Cork are making quick moves.Barcelona's players began to chase back!
Mascherano stood in front of Li Qingshan, but he didn't dare to stand dead, but fought and retreated. He knew that Li Qingshan was not good at dribbling and breaking through, so he just blocked the opponent's advancing route. , maybe Li Qingshan will lose the ball by himself!
Li Qingshan himself understands this point, if he fights for his skills, he may be the last one among the players on the court.So he will not dribble past the entire defense line and even pass the goalkeeper and then send the ball into the empty goal like Messi, this is not his style.
He tried his best to control the distance of the ball, so that the football should not leave within one meter of his feet as much as possible.The head is always observing the running positions of the teammates on both sides.
Diego Costa and Koke are on the left and right. Although they have stretched the space of Barcelona's defense, there are Barcelona players around them who are quickly chasing back.
"Li!!!" Li Qingshan heard a voice coming from behind him.
When he saw it, Captain Gabi had already stepped in from the back row.
Li Qingshan slid the ball to his side and passed it to Gabi who had already accelerated.Then he started to complete a cross with Gabi himself, and went forward to kill.
In front, Diego Costa has begun to slant towards the penalty area, and the attention of Alba and Pique has been attracted by him.Although Li Qingshan put a lot of pressure on Barcelona on high-altitude balls, what Barcelona are most afraid of is Atletico Madrid's top scorer Diego Costa who broke out this season.
Li Qingshan and Gabi crossed positions, Mascherano had no choice but to put down Li Qingshan, who was off the ball, to resist Gabi, who was leading the ball forward.
Gabi didn't dribble the ball too much. After attracting Mascherano's attention, he passed the ball diagonally to the middle and passed it back to Li Qingshan who was moving forward at high speed!
Busquets was madly chasing after Li Qingshan, but he underestimated Li Qingshan's speed. Although Li Qingshan's absolute speed was not fast, when his two long legs were running wildly, Busquets, who was also not good at speed, I really can't catch up for a while.
Mascherano turned his head and glanced at the football passed by Gabi, but he was immediately shocked!
"Gabi pass the ball!!" Madrid's commentator has now stood up from his seat, and even the fans at the scene are holding their breath, for fear that it will affect Atletico Madrid's rare counterattack opportunity.
Li Qingshan stared at the football in front of him, silently adjusting his pace.
"Li Qingshan!!!!!!"
"Be careful!!!!!"
If one were to watch Madrid and Catalonia at the same time, one could hear these two equally high-pitched screams with completely different meanings.
I saw that Li Qingshan had already swung his thighs, his figure was like a longbow, facing the football rolling towards him.
"Shoot!!!"
Li Qingshan kicked a heavy cannon. If there is a high-speed camera to lock and hit the football, you will find that the air-filled football made of mixed materials is deformed into an exaggerated oval shape by his kick!
In front of Valdez's goal, his eyes were fixed on the football flying towards him at high speed.
In fact, when he saw the football flying towards him, there was not much time left for him to react.
He flew sideways, and swung his palms in the direction of the ball...
