Chapter 201: The world's best is out of Atletico Madrid

With the roar of the commentators, countless Dortmund fans and Chinese fans in front of the TV cheered.

Even the neutral fans seemed very excited.

Although Atletico Madrid is known as one of the top three in the Spanish Super League, its heritage and reputation are never as good as those of traditional giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Therefore, in the 2012 UEFA Super Cup, many neutral fans who usually do not watch Atletico Madrid's games subconsciously feel that the strength is very different, and Dortmund, the treble team that dominated Europe last season, will definitely be able to easily defeat Atletico Madrid and complete the annual five-crown victory.

Unexpectedly, it was Atletico Madrid who scored first.

And Cheng Hai did not disappoint, and then equalized.

But Falcao scored a brace to help Atletico take the lead again, and Cheng Hai was not far behind, scoring another brace to tie the score.

This kind of ups and downs of the game, the tense atmosphere to death, the fans of both teams may not feel good, but the neutral fans are definitely extremely happy.

The quality of this game, it's just too high.

As some commentators said, everyone's eyes were wide open, and the scum didn't dare to blink, for fear that someone else would score in the next moment.

Everyone's feeling is right.

This game is truly thrilling.

After the game restarted, although Dortmund took advantage of the equalizer and morale to boost the time to press forward and launch a ferocious attack on Atletico Madrid.

But Atletico Madrid's full-court pressing, even Cheng Hai, it is difficult to break through with the ball.

His breakout skills are 20, not 200. No matter how bad Atletico Madrid's defensive players are, their comprehensive defensive ability must have a sixteen or seventeen look, 20VS16, but they may not be able to break through every time.

What's more, Atletico often uses two or three people to defend the encirclement, so it is even more difficult for Cheng Hai to break through.

After Barcelona won six crowns in 2009, pass-and-control football became the mainstream of world football, and even Borussia Dortmund had some trends in this regard.

Although they didn't completely follow it, Barcelona's concept of "the opponent can't shoot if the ball is controlled at the feet" still influenced many coaches and players.

However, Atletico Madrid's high-level pressing is a completely different stream in today's situation where pass-and-control football is dominant.

They took advantage of the counter-attack launched immediately after the full-court press to catch many teams off guard.

Despite their own high turnover rate, they are used to this kind of game and can immediately launch counter-attacks without sparing their strength.

Even if some players got the ball, they were snatched by Atletico before they could control it.

Just as the game entered the 45th minute and the fourth official raised the electronic cards for one minute of stoppage time, Dortmund forced Atletico Madrid's players through midfield pressing to make a passing error, and Gundogan cut off the ball.

But when the ball was broken, Cheng Hai and Lewandowski, Reus, Mario Gotze and others all had opponent players around them, so Gundogan adjusted a step and was ready to wait for Cheng Hai and others to run out of the gap before passing.

However, it was this pause that Gundogan conceded the goal.

The ball at his feet was stabbed out from behind by Atletico defender Mario Suarez, who was quietly approaching from behind.

Gundogan was caught off guard, and by the time he reacted to the counter-attack, the ball had already fallen at the feet of the Atletico Madrid player and he immediately launched a counter-attack.

But the Dortmund players were not in much of a hurry, because there were too many scenes of the two sides breaking the ball and counterattacking each other during this time, and everyone was used to it.

Everyone just hurried back to the defense, trying to stop Atletico Madrid's counterattack.

As a result, to the great surprise of Dortmund players and fans, Atletico Madrid's counterattack was played too quickly, so that their defense was broken down before their return defense was in place.

It was George Cork who broke through the Dortmund defence.

After getting the ball from his teammates on the side of the middle line, he didn't break through with the ball or do anything with his teammates, but looked up at the front of the field, suddenly flicked the ball horizontally, and then sent the ball diagonally to the top of the Dortmund penalty area in front of the field.

In fact, George Cork also tried to send a lot of through balls before, but he didn't succeed once.

However, this time he played extraordinarily, passing a high-quality through ball, which not only avoided the interception of all the Dortmund defenders such as Kele and Hummels along the way, but also sent it to the ideal position, which could be caught up by Falcao without allowing goalkeeper Weidenfeller to break it.

At the moment of George Coke's pass, Falcao also saw the opportunity to successfully counter offside, and then caught up with George Cork's through ball before Subotic to form a single knife.

Although Subotic caught up and began to pull and push Falcao from the side, as a center forward, Falcao's physique and balance are also quite good.

Falcao carried Subotic's push to prevent him from poking the ball, and after looking up to confirm the position of goalkeeper Weidenfeller, he volleyed the ball into the far corner on the right side of the penalty area.

In fact, when George Cork sent that exquisite diagonal long pass, the commentators in the commentary seat were already excited.

In particular, the commentator of Spanish TV shouted excitedly:

"George Cork straight stop!"

"Good shot!"

"Well passed!"

"Falcao was successful against offside!!" "Falcao received a straight plug from Cork and formed a single knife!"

"Shot ......"

Then, the ball kicked by Falcao flew past Weidenfeller like an arrow and into the Dortmund goal against the far post.

The commentator of the Spanish television station suddenly stood up excitedly, and shouted with a long roar and hissed exhaustion:

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooal……”

"The ball is in!"

"Hat-trick !!"

"Tiger Falco! Falcao who can do anything! ”

"Atletico striker Falcao scored a hat-trick to help the Sheets take the lead again!"

"God!"

"Falcao is a god today!"

"In the face-to-face competition with the world's No. 1 striker Cheng Hai, although Cheng Hai kept tying the score, Falcao was able to score again to take the lead."

Now, Falcao is once again ahead of Cheng Hai's two goals with three goals, and Atletico Madrid has also taken a 3-2 lead for the third time.

'It's already first-half stoppage time and Atletico Madrid will go into the break with a one-goal advantage of 3-2.

"Oh my God, this game is amazing!"

"Unexpectedly, Falcao actually scored a hat-trick in the first half to help Atletico Madrid lead Dortmund."

"Falcao's performance in this game is really superb!"

"Could it be that he was stimulated by Cheng Hai?"

I don't know if Falcao was stimulated, but the fans of the Dortmund players were indeed hit hard by Falcao's goal.

In the case of falling behind twice, Cheng Hai scored two consecutive equalizers, and everyone was still thinking about when to score another goal to complete the overtake, who knew that Falcao was like a ball king possessed, scored again, scored a hat trick, and helped Atletico Madrid take the lead in the score again.

It's a bit of a hopelessness.

Could it be that Dortmund will never be able to turn the scoreline around?

Even with Cheng Hai, the world's No. 1 striker, even if Cheng Hai also performed well and kept scoring goals to equalize, after all, Falcao played more bravely and scored again to help Atletico Madrid take the lead.

If Cheng Hai played at the normal level of his world's No. 1 striker, then Falcao played superbly.

It's not easy for a player to score a hat-trick in a game, let alone 45 minutes in the first half.

What's even more surprising is that Falcao scored a half-time hat-trick against Cheng Hai's Borussia Dortmund.

In the face of Dortmund, when other teams can only defend passively, this hat-trick and the lead in the score are even more commendable.

Whether it is Falcao's supernatural play or Simeone's arrangement, many neutral fans are fascinated, and I don't know how many neutral fans Atletico Madrid can gain this time.

On the field, looking at Falco, who was surrounded by his teammates and celebrating passionately, Cheng Hai was also a little distracted.

Although the coaches and players made careful preparations before the game, psychologically they really didn't think that Atletico Madrid could cause them any problems.

The cautious preparation is just to not carelessly lose Jingzhou and lose the fifth championship of the year.

But the reality of the result was that everyone did not expect that Atletico Madrid would take a 3-2 lead at the end of the first half with Falcao's hat-trick.

This is by no means a rare occurrence for Dortmund.

It's surprising that Atletico Madrid fell behind twice and equalized twice, but they couldn't dampen Atletico Madrid's determination to continue attacking!

Are they really not afraid of Cheng Hai's counterattack?

Perhaps, Simeone was just gambling. But at least, he won the first half.

After scoring a hat-trick to give Atletico Madrid a 3-2 lead, Falcao celebrated for more than half a minute before the referee intervened to end the celebration and let Dortmund open the ball.

After the restart, before Dortmund could complete an attack, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the two sides went into the break with a score of 3-2, with Atletico Madrid temporarily leading by one goal thanks to a hat-trick from Tiger Falcao.

At halftime, the commentators commented in surprise:

"The first half is over."

"Atletico Madrid have a one-goal lead over Dortmund at 3-2 for the time being."

"Falcao delivered a surprising result in the first half of the head-to-head competition, scoring a hat-trick to temporarily lead Cheng Hai's brace and give Atletico Madrid a 3-2 lead."

"Falcao inherited the tradition of the world's best striker out of Atletico Madrid, becoming the sixth Atletico Madrid striker after Vieri, Hasselbaink, Torres, Aguero and Forlan."

"In last season's La Liga, Falcao ranked third in La Liga's scorer list with 24 goals, second only to the peerless duo Messi and Ronaldo."

In the Europa League, Falcao ranked first in the scorer list with 12 goals and won the Europa League Golden Boot last season.

"It was Falcao's god-level play and Simeone's high pressing style that allowed Atletico Madrid to unexpectedly end the first half with a 3-2 lead over Dortmund."

"If Dortmund's two equalizers after falling behind twice shows the mental tenacity of Cheng Hai and other players, then Atletico Madrid has not been affected by the two equalizers and continues to insist on their own style of play, which is also strong enough."

"Cheng Hai's performance is beyond reproach, he shows the quality of the world's number one striker."

"However, Falcao's performance is super-god!"

"At least, in the first half of the game, his performance was overpowering Cheng Hai. Whether it's the number of individual goals, or the score of the game. ”

"If Dortmund are to win this title and continue to challenge for the six-time title, Dortmund will have to do something in the second half."

"Otherwise, if the game ends with this score, Dortmund's annual six-crown title will be over, and Dortmund's value of leaving Cheng Hai at the world's No. 1 price will also be weakened many times."

"Whether Cheng Hai can turn the tide and be worthy of his world's No. 1 salary depends on his performance in the second half."

"Although his performance in the first half was already good, because of the presence of Falcao on the other side, Cheng Hai must perform better than Falcao."

"Otherwise, Dortmund's road to a six-time annual title would be over."

Indeed, the score of 3-2 put a lot of pressure on the whole Dortmund team.

At halftime, Cheng Hai did not enter the dream training to recover his energy.

With his current full fitness, the occasional half-time break without deep sleep in a game will have little impact on the second half of the game.

When everyone entered the dressing room and the door was closed, Klopp clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, he did not blame everyone for the performance in the first half, but praised:

"Everyone had a great first half!"

"We didn't lose confidence when we were constantly being led by our opponents, but continued to maintain a high level of competitive form, tying the score twice."

"Now we are behind in the score, but that doesn't mean we are weaker than Atletico Madrid overall."

"On the contrary, as the treble winner last season, everyone has to believe that we are strong enough to sweep the whole of Europe."

"It's just that in this game, we met a super-god Falcao."

"In the face of Falcao's supernatural state, even Cheng Hai has to retreat and be inferior!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the slightly dull atmosphere improved a little.

Klopp continued:

'However, despite Falcao's heroic form in the first half, it doesn't mean that he can continue to play beyond the norm in the second half.

"The 15 minutes of the break may be a good opportunity for us to rest, drink water and recuperate, but it can be a 15 minutes to interrupt Falcao's heroic state."

"Everyone has to believe that Falcao's extraordinary performance is definitely different from Cheng Hai's normal level, and the duration is definitely different."

"Unless Cheng Hai is in very poor shape, he can usually score two or three goals per game!"

"Once it breaks out, it's okay to get four, five, six, or even 15!"

Hearing Klopp mention 15, everyone laughed again, and after looking at Cheng Hai, their self-confidence recovered a lot.

"That's the way it was in this game, Cheng Haihai scored a brace in the first half, which was his normal performance."

"And Falcao's hat-trick is definitely in a big state to cause this result."

After a 15-minute break, Cheng Hai was still capable of scoring two or three goals in the second half. But Falcao may not be able to score a hat-trick again. ”

'There's a good chance he won't score a single goal.'

'Of course, we can't passively bet on Falcao's form to disappear in the second half and never score again.

"After all, he is also the world's top striker, and he can carry Atletico Madrid's-for-tat presence in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona."

'So, as well as praying that Falcao is not in good form in the second half, we have to work harder ourselves.'

"Everyone saw in the first half of the game, Atletico Madrid's players just used physical strength to run and press all over the field to create the final score of 3-2."

"In the second half, I want everyone to pick themselves up and use the same full-court pressing to grab the ball, the space and the chances with Atletico Madrid."

"If Atletico want to win, they need to pray that Falcao continues to be in good form."

"But we don't have to pray to anyone, we just need to do our own thing, run and press with no stinginess of physical strength, and force Atletico to make mistakes and concede goals, so that we can create more shooting opportunities for Cheng Hai."

"With Cheng Hai's shooting skills, as long as the shooting chances are the same, then we must win in the end."

"Don't be afraid of tiredness, don't be afraid of hardship, this is a crucial battle related to the championship, related to whether we can complete the annual six-crown victory."

"Even if you fight hard today to have a big leg cramp or even get injured, you can't back down."

"It doesn't matter if you can rest for a few rounds in the league, but today, it's a battle to the death!"

"I hope everyone will use more high morale in the second half to fight and grab with Atletico Madrid, and create opportunities for Cheng Hai to shoot."

"Is there a problem?"

The players said in unison: "No problem! ”

Klopp asked again aloud: "Is there a problem?" ”

The players replied in a louder voice: "No problem!! ”
