On the evening of 14 October 2001, at the Valedos Stadium in Vigo

On the court, the two sides were in full swing, and the game was very miserable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If you carefully count the number of players on the field, it is not difficult to find that Atletico Madrid, who are playing away, is one less person than the home team Celta Vigo, but they are not at all behind on the field.

Yes, Atletico Madrid did send off one.

Vigo, who played at home in this game, played very rough and committed a lot of fouls, while the referee in this game was soft and took care of the home team a little, and Atletico Madrid was holding his breath.

Victor Fernandez clearly focused on the game, defending well in the first half, not being able to score at Atletico Madrid, but instead taking advantage of a counter-attack through Argentine striker Gustavo López.

This is the first time Atletico Madrid has fallen behind since the new season.

With a goal behind, the field was slow to open the game, and the players of the Sheets began to become impatient.

At halftime, Gao Han poured a bucket of cold water on the hot-headed players, sobering them up a bit and adjusting their tactics.

But after the resumption of the second half, Marchena was first held to the ground by Celta's Brazilian striker Catania in the process of defense, but the referee did not seem to see this scene, and instead of punishing Catania, he warned Marchena, who complained and complained.

It didn't take long for the hot-headed Marchena to knock Catania to the ground in a retaliatory dangerous move in a defensive move in the penalty area, which happened in front of the referee.

There is no doubt about the red card plus a penalty!

The cunning Brazilian striker Catania rolled around in the box a few times before standing up unharmed and taking the penalty himself to make it 2-0.

As a result, Atletico Madrid had to play with one less man for the remaining 30 minutes of the game.

Gao Han made a quick decision and replaced the teenager Torres with central defender Pablo Ibañez, and the whole team retreated.

Although there is one person missing, relying on the overall tactical advantage, Atletico Madrid still stabilized its position and did not let Vigo Celta have a chance.

But time passed bit by bit, and there was still no change in the scene.

The 30,000 Celta fans in the stands at the Valedos Stadium seemed to have seen the victory and began to celebrate in advance.

……

Gao Han sighed heavily, looked back, and glanced at the players' tunnel.

Fernando Torres, who was substituted, and Marchena, who was sent off the pitch with a red card, were both standing at the exit of the tunnel, both worried, and clearly worried about the current state of the team.

Marchena felt the head coach's gaze, but he didn't dare to look at Gao Han, lowered his head, and looked so remorseful that he couldn't commit suicide.

Gao Han sighed again, "This guy is really loved and hated. ”

Cantarero, who was standing next to Gao Han, also noticed Marchena, smiled bitterly, and didn't know how to answer.

Marchena's advantages are obvious, as a Spanish local central defender, his physical fitness is quite good, his defensive ability is also very strong, and he is very comprehensive, he can play in the back, his foot skills are also good, and his basic skills are very solid.

On the pitch, Marchena is the kind of player who is very passionate, very able to motivate his teammates around him, and is also the kind of player that the manager and the fans like.

But it is precisely because of his personality and style that he is easily hot-headed on the court, and he is not calm and rational enough.

But once he relaxes a little, he is like a wild horse that has escaped from the leash, and he can't pull it.

"His character is like this, it can only be slowly smoothed out by time, and if you want to use him, you have to accept his flaws. ”

After listening to Cantarero's words, Gao Han sighed deeply again.

Why didn't he know?

But this guy conceded a goal for Atletico Madrid all of a sudden.

This was originally one goal behind, and Gao Han was still sure, but now it has become 0-2......

"I still have to grind him, this kid is a talent, he is well carved, and he is not lost to Puyol. ”

Puyol is Barcelona's defender and a rookie defender who is now very popular across Spain.

Cantarero was a little surprised, he didn't expect Gao Han to value Marchena so much, and even compared him to Puyol.

But he had no doubts about Gao Han's ability to see people.

"What now?" asked Cantarero with concern.

Gao Han looked at the time, "Wait a little longer." ”

…………

"Haha...... It worked, it worked!"

Unlike the dead silence in the visitors' coaching area, Vigo's Celta coach Victor Fernandez is grinning and laughing as if he is already in control.

"Sure enough, our preparation for the past two weeks has not been in vain!"

"Who's to say it's not?" the assistant nodded as well.

Judging by the performance throughout the game, Celta Vigo not only defended Atletico Madrid's attack, but also used two counter-attacks, one to score and one to create a foul on Marchena, and get a penalty.

With a two-goal lead and little time left, Celta Vigo could almost be said to have grabbed the three points with one hand.

"However, don't really say it, this alpine is indeed a bit capable. ”

Victor Fernandez pointed to the pitch, "Although there is one less person on the field, they can still control the ball and not fall behind on the field, which shows the level." ”

Even as an opponent, Victor Fernandez had to submit.

Of course, it's because he's ahead and he's about to win, and as a winner, he's got that grace.

If the ball loses, who wants to praise the opponent?

Just the thought that his team was about to kill Atletico Madrid made Victor Fernandez feel like a fire.

He knew that this match would make the front page of all the newspapers in Spain tomorrow.

Ending Atletico Madrid's winning streak, he Victor Fernández will become popular overnight!

"I wish I could score a few more goals against him!" Victor Fernandez laughed.

But the assistant next to him was shocked when he heard it, and he broke out in a cold sweat, "Don't ......"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm laughing. Victor Fernández immediately reassured his assistant, his head was not dizzy.

Although it is a promoted horse, the overall combat ability of Atletico Madrid is getting stronger and stronger, and the team is improving in almost every game, and by now, the Sheets Army can be said to be a force to be reckoned with in La Liga.

Victor Fernandez himself knows his own affairs, defensive counterattack is the magic weapon of Celta Vigo in La Liga, and it is simply self-defeating to press out and play.

Everyone knows that the Sheets won the Copa del Rey by defending and counterattacking.

With his own shortcomings, he attacks the enemy's strengths, and he will do this when his head is funny.

"Atletico Madrid is going to lose!"

In the media grandstand area of the Stadio Valedos, journalists from all over Spain gathered.

At this time, they were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The loss of Atletico Madrid is definitely big news and will definitely boost the sales of tomorrow's newspaper.

"Gao Han's on-the-spot trick didn't work this time!"

"Hehe, how can it work every time?

"This time I was really dragged down by my own players, and the second half had already improved, but Marchena received a red card at this time, and he gave a penalty, isn't this his own death?"

"A lot of people say that the best of the month is a curse, Gao Han just won the best coach for September and lost this game, and Petr Cech just got the best goalkeeper of the month and conceded two goals in this game......

"Actually, you can't really blame them. ”

"Yes, three days ago, Atletico Madrid just beat Rayo Vallecano in the Copa del Rey, winning 3-1, which is quite expensive. ”

"According to me, Gao Han should give up multi-front battles and concentrate on playing the league. ”

"Giving up multi-fronts? It's simple, you have to think about the emotions of the players and the fans. ”

"That's right, let's talk about the Copa del Rey, playing at home, selling more than 50,000 tickets, setting the record for the highest Copa del Rey attendance in the history of Atletico Madrid, and giving up the Copa del Rey in full view?"

"But why don't you wear such a big hat if you don't have such a big head?"

"That's right, now the Copa del Rey has obviously affected the league, and this game, Atletico Madrid lost. ”

"It's been almost seventy minutes, and I don't have any hope. ”

Journalists, you and I are all pessimistic about the situation of Atletico Madrid, and many are even gloating.

As the so-called big move, Atletico Madrid won all the way as a promoted horse, although it also won full applause, but it also made many teams and reporters jealous, wishing they would lose early and collapse early.

Now, a 2-0 defeat to Celta Vigo took advantage of their wishes.

In the crowd of reporters, Javier Matayana watched the game in silence all the time.

On weekdays, he is a star among the reporters, but today he is not interested, and everyone else knows that he is a die-hard of Atletico Madrid, and he must be unhappy to see his beloved team lose, so no one comes up to disturb him.

Matayana looked at the pitch, and then at Gao Han, who was standing side by side with Cantarero on the sidelines, and listened to the discussions of his peers, but he didn't believe it at all.

He didn't believe that Gao Han would be a person who gave up so easily!

At the beginning, Gao Han encountered a more dangerous situation than now, but he never gave up, will he give up willingly now?

But if he still has the heart to fight back, then he should have done it a long time ago?

According to Matayana's past observation of Gao Han, he prefers to launch an offensive in about sixty minutes, either through substitutions or tactical adjustments, but now it has been seventy minutes, why hasn't there been any movement?

If you are two goals behind, you can't catch up if you don't make your move.

"Gao Han, Gao Han, what the hell are you thinking?" (To be continued.) )
