Chapter 115: Massacre (2)
As long as you know a little football on and off the field, you will have the idea that today must be one-sided, and Atletico Madrid will not have any problem beating Elche at all, but in fact, Atletico Madrid's coach Recino is different from everyone, his heart has always been in his throat, because he knows a secret that others don't know, and this game is more likely to collapse than any game.
Atletico Madrid has had a hard time recently, the previous meritorious coach Aguirre was dismissed because of poor results, and Recino didn't know Atletico's problems long after taking office, in fact, what really dragged Atletico back was not the ability of the players, but because the thickness of their bench was really not worth mentioning.
Don't look at these main players one by one, in fact, this season's third-line battle relies on this group of people, and in such a tense competition environment, their physical strength and energy are too much to consume, in fact, they have already reached the limit. The current league does not dare to relax, and the Champions Cup does not dare to be sloppy in the slightest, and the only thing that can be given up is the Copa del Rey.
But before Recino could say this idea, the little Hill, who had never cared about the club, stood up and shouted that he must kill Elche, Recino really didn't want to pay attention to him, but the upper echelons didn't want to give up the Copa del Rey just like that, but none of them thought about how could such a team stick to the third line if there was no reasonable abandonment?
This game seems to be strong, but in fact, Recino knows that the players on the field are unwilling to participate in this kind of game from the bottom of their hearts, and they also want to save their energy to fight in the Champions League and the league.
Once there is such an idea on the field, it is inevitable that they will not do their best, so don't look at their sound and color at the beginning, in fact, it is just a smokescreen, the state of these players is actually very poor, and the style of play he set for this game is also to storm for 20 minutes, strive for a lead of more than two goals and then defend with all his might, and in the second half he will replace a few main players.
As soon as he thought of these things, he unconsciously looked at Uribe who was standing outside directing the game, they were all old rivers and lakes, although this person was not very old, but he was a very smart coach, and the most praised thing was to be able to see the opponent's loopholes the fastest, and then arrange a new tactic, it should be a matter of time before this person saw it, but the problem was that he had no way to deal with it.
Regardless of what was on Recino's mind, the situation on the pitch was one-sided, with Sergio Aguero, Forlan and Reyes already shooting in quick succession, and although they didn't score, they were all very threatening, with most believing that it was only a matter of time before Atletico won the game.
However, time has passed little by little, and fifteen minutes have passed in the blink of an eye, and Atletico still have not been able to score. In the sixteenth minute, Simão broke the ball in midfield and immediately launched a quick attack. The ball was handed to Garcia, who shook Ivas and Medina in succession, and then crossed from the bottom of the touchline, the ball went directly over the heavily defended area at the front point and directly to the back, where the defense was very weak, only Xu Luyang faced Aguero.
It can be said that Xu Luyang has done his best when he found that the ball has reached his defensive area, but the gap between him and Aguero is also a bit huge, and even before he has made a normal blocking action, Aguero has already shot directly at the goal. He didn't adjust his movements at all, but used a very awkward catapult action, and the ball hit his calf and bounced into the net.
The goal instantly set the pitch on fire, and the deafening cheers immediately drowned out Calderón, fans know Atletico's habits, if they don't score, they will have problems, but as soon as they start scoring goals, it is difficult to stop, and now the door to victory has been opened, and then it is enough to drag down the opponent with their own rhythm.
Recino also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the tactics he arranged have also worked, whether it is this goal or the defense against Ai Fan in the first fifteen minutes, it has proved to be very effective.
Xu Luyang lay on the ground in annoyance and punched the ground hard, but Pedro walked up to him and pulled him up, and then said in his ear, "Boy, cheer up, there is no problem with this mistake, understand?"
Both Estrada and Ai Huan were a little powerless to watch each other's unbridled celebrations on the field, and their eyes flashed with a kind of helplessness at the same time. Estrada's physical condition was really poor today, and against such a team that kept attacking like a tide, the game was only less than twenty minutes old, but it seemed as if all his physical strength had been exhausted.
Ai Huan is even more energetic and useless, so far he has not even gotten the ball, the other party has adopted a strategy of local encirclement to defend him, no matter when there will always be at least three people around him who are following him, not to mention grabbing the ball, it is very difficult to run.
Ujfarusi's movements are very fast, his defense is fast, and he can break the pass in front of Ai Huan every time, and Heitinga's technique surprises Ai Huan even more, as long as the ball is at his feet, he generally does not pass the ball, and he will only pass the ball when he sees Ai Huan come up to grab the ball, which makes Ai Huan have no way at all. He's a heavy cannon, but how can he be powerful without shells?
So in the first fifteen minutes, Elche only defended and did not counterattack, and the most important thing is that against such a team they couldn't defend at all, so it was not surprising to concede a goal.
The game started again, and the on-site commentary seemed to be slow, as if the game had been won steadily, and he said in a leisurely tone, "We are a Champions League team, and the opponents who often play in Europe can't raise their heads, and now using such a lineup to deal with a second division team is really a bit of a chicken and a knife, and it is really not a martial arts." I hope they can show some sincerity, otherwise it won't be interesting to play like this. Actually, we should change it appropriately..."Suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly, as if someone had pinched his neck all of a sudden, and after a while, he muttered like a dream, "Wasn't it really my hallucination just now? Where did that Forty-Nine come from, how is this possible?"
After finishing speaking, he raised his head again and looked at the big screen, which clearly displayed the current score, one to one.
