"Hugo Leal is unguarded, good chance!"
"Passing into the box, Villa ......"
"The ball is in!!"
“goalllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!”
"Just four minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid scored against Tenerife!"
"A brilliant volley from David Villa that found the back of the net that Sergio Aragonés was guarding!"
"Hugo Leal's through ball was very beautiful, and after receiving the ball, Villa got past Luxenhoff and got straight to the foot, and the whole process was very coherent, showing Villa's ability as a goalscorer. ”
"1-0, Atletico Madrid takes the lead away!"
……
"The game is restarting. ”
"We can see that Atletico Madrid, although temporarily ahead, still maintains a strong desire to attack. ”
Benitez didn't dare to be careless, adjusting the team, obviously afraid of Atletico Madrid's attack. ”
'Okay, Marcos Senna breaks the ball, passes to Xavi Alonso and then to the left. ”
Antonio López crosses from the left. ”
"Torres grabbed the first drop and the header came back to ......"
"It's Ugo Leal again, with a straight kick ......"

"Beautiful, the Portuguese turned away and shook off the Torrado......"
"Eh, the referee is blowing!"
"Oops, Torado looks irrational, a back tackle!"
"In slow motion, this back tackle is of a bad nature, it goes directly to the feet of Hugo Leal, and I don't know how the referee will give a penalty. ”
There were boos from the Tenerife fans, who were clearly trying to put pressure on the referee. ”
"Now the home team is 1-0 down, and if a red card is awarded again, it will undoubtedly end the game early. ”
"We saw that the referee gave a red card without question!"
"This is the thirteenth minute of the first half, Tenerife's main midfielder Torrado, because of a very uncalm malicious foul, was shown a red card by the referee and sent off!"
"Torrado is so uncalm, and the red card at this time will undoubtedly make the team worse. ”
"Tenerife is in a miserable situation, one goal down, and one less person than the opponent. ”
"Now it's up to manager Rafael Benitez to see if he has any other tricks up his sleeve!"

…………
Gao Han sat in the away team's coach's box, leaned over, turned his head, and saw the slightly chubby middle-aged Spanish man standing in the coaching area of the home team not far away, and couldn't help but smile happily.
"Carlos, guess what's going on in his mind right now?"
"What are you thinking?" Cantarero asked.
"He must be scolding, I'm rubbing, is this bastard from Mexico crazy? Give me a red card in the first ten minutes, how can I play this game?"
In the end, Gao Han himself couldn't help but laugh.
Cantarero couldn't help but be amused by him.
"As for me, I thought he would go to Morales, but who knew it was Pierre!"
Speaking of this, Gao Han actually had some regrets.
This suddenly made Cantarero almost stop scolding.
It's too pen-loaded, isn't it?
But what Gao Han said is also true.
Tenerife's strongest attacking line-up this season should be two Argentine midfielders, Vasa Bilvasseau and Morales, with Mista up front and a left winger, Luis Garcia, on loan from Barcelona.
Among them, Morales is the heart of the team's midfield.
But in this game, Benitez changed the team's usual 4231 tactics into 442 tactics, replacing Morales with striker Pierre and partnering with Mista to form a double striker.
Gao Han was still a little jealous of playing Tenerife away, after all, Benitez's team is still very strong, and it is a home game, so you must be careful.
But after looking at their starting lineup, he suddenly changed his mind and pressed heavily after the opening.
Rushing to attack was Atletico Madrid's forte, and Gao Han directly urged the blessing of the skill card, and as a result, there was the scene after the opening, and Atletico Madrid almost pressed Tenerife to beat wildly.
Not only did he score a goal, but he also took off a player.
Eleven to ten, the game is so good!
"Tell them, keep attacking, I'm going to end the fight in the first half!"
…………
…………
With a one-goal lead, and one more person than the opponent, Gao Han has no reason not to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
In the twenty-second minute of the first half, Atletico Madrid finally scored again.
The team's attack won a corner, Xavi Alonso himself took the corner, and centre-back Ibic beat two of Tenerife's two central defenders in the box to head it in.
Since the last injury, Gao Han temporarily promoted the youngster Pablo Ibañez to the position, and as a result, the Spanish youngster has performed quite eye-catching, and even pressed Ibić on the bench at one point, putting a lot of pressure on the Bosnian central defender.
But before this game, Gao Han saw that Ibić was in excellent condition in training and his fighting spirit was also very strong, so he arranged for him to partner with Marchena, and as a result, the Bosnian central defender returned the favor with a goal.
Come to think of it, it's a real headache!
In the second half, Tenerife finally made a substitution.
At half-time, Morales and Hidalgo were brought on in one go, wanting to strengthen the team's midfield.
But Atletico Madrid already have two goals in hand, coupled with the team's morale, they simply don't give Tenerife the slightest chance.
In the 71st minute of the second half, Atletico Madrid scored again.
Antonio López, with the help of a three-star assault card, forced his way into the box from the left flank, and after receiving an assist from Hugo Leal, he fired a low shot that once again penetrated the Tenerife goal.
Three to zero!
The score was maintained until the end of the game!
Atletico Madrid finally beat Tenerife 3-0 away and won 11 consecutive wins!
After the game, when Benitez took the initiative to shake hands with Gao Han, he mentioned the team's opening more than once, thinking that it was the opening defeat that led to Tenerife's full loss.
It can be seen that he lost this game very unconvinced.
However, Gao Han didn't plan to fight him again.
The good news is more than just beating Tenerife.
In the other matches of the 32nd round of La Liga, which was also underway, the top team Sevilla lost points again.
This time, they were on their home turf and lost 1-0 to the Jahn team.
This surprised everyone, but it also confirmed one thing once again, the relegation team is not easy to play.
Real Betis comfortably beat Murcia 3-1 away from home, with winger youngster Joaquín impressing.
This also makes Gao Han salivate for him even more, because Atletico Madrid is in need of such a strong wide attacker right now.
Huelva, who were originally in fourth place, finally dropped points again, drawing away to Lleida.
As a result, Atletico Madrid's league ranking has risen again, relying on the advantage of the results of the two sides, overtaking Huelva and climbing to fourth in the league.
After 32 rounds, the points gap between the top four in the West League has narrowed a lot.
At the top of the table, Sevilla has 59 points, Tenerife in second place has 57 points, Real Betis in third place has 55 points, while Atletico Madrid in fourth place and Huelva in fifth place are both 52 points.
In other words, Atletico Madrid is only three points away from third in the league and only six points away from Sevilla at the top of the table.
As soon as the news spread, fans of the Sheets Army were immediately excited.
Atletico Madrid fans, who had given up hope for a long time, are finally seeing the light of day again in returning to La Liga.
For a while, the whole Madrid was completely boiling.
When the team returned to Madrid from Tenerife, more than 1,000 fans came to meet them at the airport in person.
At the scene, some fans even played banners and shouted slogans, hoping that the club could stay in Gao Han.
"He did miracles for us!"
The shouts of the fans at the scene also reached the ears of the management through Paul Futre and team leader Carlos Pena, and they also deeply felt that with the team's successive victories, the fans' calls to retain Gao Han are also rising.
A week later, the thirty-third round of La Liga.
After a week's rest, Atletico Madrid came home to beat Extremadura 2-0 thanks to goals from Fernando Torres and Villa, making it 12 wins in a row.
However, Sevilla beat Composteira 2-0, Real Betis beat Salamanca 2-1 and only Benitez's Tenerife lost 0-1 away to Córdoba.
After two consecutive losses, Benitez's team finally slipped one place to third, and Real Betis caught up with 58 points and ranked second in the league.
Atletico Madrid are fourth with 55 points, but only two points behind third-placed Tenerife.
But the ranking lasted only a week.
In the 34th round of the league, Tenerife finally got out of the predicament, beating Las Palmas 2-0.
Atletico Madrid also continued their steady progress, beating Ebar 2-1 away to make it 13 wins in a row.
The top team, Sevilla, narrowly beat Real Betis 1-0 at home.
As a result, after 34 rounds, Sevilla is still ranked first in the league with a proud record of 65 points.
Tenerife returned to second place in the league with 60 points.
Atletico Madrid and Real Betis have the same number of points, both with 58 points.
According to the rules of La B, the same points are considered for the results of the two sides, and Atletico Madrid's first leg against Real Betis was a draw, but in the second leg, Gao Han led the team to defeat Real Betis, and the results of the match were superior.
Therefore, Atletico Madrid took advantage of this to overtake Real Betis and finish third in the league.
