Chapter 202: Horror Tiger
Jurgen Klopp wants his players to create chances with more aggressive running and pressing in the second half.
In the dressing room on the other side, Simeone was also giving an agitative speech to Atletico Madrid.
Simeone, nicknamed the bandit, has absolute authority in the Atletico dressing room and has a high level of coaching, and last season everyone won the Europa League under Simeone's leadership, and the players obeyed him.
Simeone praised everyone's performance in the first half, praised Falcao's hat trick, and finally let everyone continue to play in the first half in the second half, running more actively, fighting more fiercely, and using more fierce high pressing to defeat the treble champion Dortmund and win the European king of champions.
The morale of the players is also very high.
To be honest, before the game, everyone really didn't expect Falcao to be in such a good state in this game, and he could score a hat trick in the first half to lead everyone 3-2 over Dortmund led by Cheng Hai.
No matter how high the slogan is, in the face of Dortmund, the treble winner led by Cheng Hai, the players of Atletico Madrid are still a little worried before the game.
Unexpectedly, it was not the case at all when it came to the game.
Although Cheng Hai is indeed extraordinary, he scored a brace in the first half.
However, they also have the in-form Falco, who is more fierce than Cheng Hai, and scored a hat-trick in the first half.
Leading Dortmund at half-time, and being encouraged by Simeone, everyone became emotional and morale-high, and they couldn't wait for the second half of the game to start immediately, and use their high-ranking pressing and overall running to win the UEFA Super Cup.
The crowd at the scene and in front of the TV was also eager for the second half of the game to start early.
This game really surprised everyone, both in terms of the process and the score.
Falcao's hat-trick led Atletico Madrid to a 3-2 win at the end of the first half, something that everyone didn't expect before the game.
Dortmund fans can't wait for Cheng Hai to explode in the second half to help Dortmund equalize, reverse the score, win the fifth crown of the year, and continue to attack the great cause of the six crowns of the year.
And Atletico Madrid fans, naturally, hope that the game will end with a score of 3-2 as soon as possible, so that they can step on the corpse of Borussia Dortmund, the European treble winner last season, and climb to the top of Europe.
As for the larger number of neutral fans, it was clear that they were completely stimulated by the intense competition and hoped that the game would start early and continue the excitement of the first half.
Neither Borussia Dortmund nor Atletico Madrid are counter-attacking teams in the traditional sense of the word.
Therefore, this game can play a 3-2 score, and 5 goals were scored in the first half, and neutral fans are simply adrenaline rushing!
Everyone can't wait for the second half of the game to start immediately!
Finally, in the expectation of countless people, after a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
After the start of the second half of the game, both Dortmund and Atletico Madrid followed the coach's tactical arrangement, carried out more active running and fierce scrambles, and the pace of attack and defense was faster than in the first half.
In the fierce offensive battles and each other's high pressing, the natural ball transfer speed is very fast, and from time to time the fans in the stands let out a burst of exclamations.
However, apart from Cheng Hai, the other players, including Falcao, were all very poor in their shooting skills, and neither side had scored after the opening ten minutes of the second half.
However, in such a fast change in the rhythm of attack and defense, even if Atletico Madrid pays great attention to the defense of Cheng Hai, it still cannot be perfect.
The main thing is that Cheng Hai's offensive and shooting methods are too much.
In the 58th minute, after Cheng Hai used his super dribbling ability to attract two players from Atletico Madrid, Lewandowski ran out of space on the left side of the front.
After Cheng Hai smashed the ball to dodge the gap, he saw the right time to send the ball to Lewandowski.
Lewandowski only needs to take two steps with the ball to enter the Atletico penalty area and pose a great threat.
As a result, the defender on the side, Felipe, didn't have time to think about it, and directly shoveled Lewandowski, who had just received the ball, to the ground, destroying Dortmund's good offensive opportunity.
Lewandowski hugged his feet and rolled around on the ground with a rather painful expression.
This made Dortmund's players even more indignant.
Lewandowski's gap was well chosen, and Cheng Hai's pass was very exquisite, without Filipe's tackle, Lewandowski would have been a great threat as long as he stepped into the penalty area, whether it was his own shot or a fake shot and a real pass to his teammates.
Coupled with Lewandowski's painful appearance, the Dortmund players were very excited, and Gundogan, who was the first to rush to the place of the incident, even pushed Felipe and was shown a yellow card by the referee.
The blocking of other players and the timely stop of the referee prevented the conflict between the two sides from breaking out.
However, Felipe's yellow card cannot be escaped.
Gundogan's yellow card is a bit of a loss, but it doesn't matter, he's not the main defender anyway. It's good to be able to put a little pressure on the opponent and the referee, and no one blames Gundogan.
Of course, the more important thing is that Lewandowski was checked and there was no major problem, and the team doctor sprayed some soothing and blood-invigorating spray before standing up, which did not affect his game.
Moreover, Felipe's foul on Lewandowski also gave Dortmund a free kick on the left side of the front court with a good position, which just gave Cheng Hai's right-footed free kick enough room to play.
Whether it is archery, arc, or shooting power, Cheng Hai is full value.
The free kick in this position is very good for Cheng Hai, and the goal efficiency is very high.
Although it can't be compared to 100% of the penalty kicks, it is still possible to score one of the two goals.
That's a pretty horrible free-kick goal rate, unmatched.
Therefore, although Felipe prevented Lewandowski's possible shot from inside the box, Gundogan, who did not foul, was shown a yellow card by the referee, and it seems that Atletico Madrid took advantage of it.
But in fact, both the players on the field, the coaches and the fans off the field are quite nervous.
Everyone knows how threatening Cheng Hai's free kicks are.
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois nervously lined up with the wall, lining up the five tallest players into the wall in an attempt to stop Cheng Hai's direct shot.
But in fact, this is most likely in vain.
Cheng Hai's free kicks, in most cases, will not be blocked by the human wall, and only a few times will they hit the human wall.
Cheng Hai didn't care about the human wall, and has been carefully preparing before shooting, adjusting his breathing and feeling.
Falcao's hat-trick and Atletico Madrid's 3-2 Dortmund score did make Cheng Hai feel a lot of pressure.
Even with his confidence in the system, he does not dare to guarantee that he will score a hat-trick in this game, and he can equalize three times after falling behind three times, and retain the hope of winning the championship from behind.
In the opponent's mad dog-like pressing, this direct free kick is a very rare shooting opportunity, and it is a shot without interference.
For Cheng Hai, this is a very good opportunity no matter what, and he must cherish it.
Missed a free-kick opportunity from a good position and wondered if he would be able to come across it again or score in a sports game.
Even if he was carrying a system plug-in, he also felt a lot of pressure in the face of the super-god Falcao.
Eventually, the Kuhl pattern lined up the wall and the referee blew the whistle for a free throw.
Cheng Hai took a deep breath, spit it out, and after reconfirming the position of goalkeeper Courtois, he started to run.
Most of the fans, commentators, and reporters, whether they were on the scene or in front of the TV, widened their eyes and looked at Cheng Hai who was running without blinking, expecting him to hit the ball in, then this game would be exciting enough.
Only the Atletico Madrid fans at the scene continued to make noise, boos, and curses in horror, hoping to affect Cheng Hai and make him miss the ball.
But Cheng Hai has long been accustomed to seeing big scenes, and the audience's boos and scolding did not affect him at all.
I saw that after Cheng Haizhu ran a few steps, he stood still with his left foot, rounded his big leg with his right foot, and pumped it into the middle and lower part of the ball.
The ball flew into the air and flew over the head of centre-back Godin, who was in the middle of the position, before spinning into the near corner.
And Courtois, in fact, the moment Cheng Hai didn't kick the ball out, he suddenly started to pounce on the near corner.
He didn't wait for Cheng Hai to shoot, but bet on Cheng Hai to hit the near corner and made the decision to move early.
In the face of Cheng Hai's shot with good strength, speed and angle, he passively waited to see the ball and then saved, which basically couldn't be saved.
Therefore, Courtois had no choice but to prejudge and move in advance, trying to save Cheng Hai's free kick.
When he took two steps to the near end and saw the ball fly out of Godin's head and spin into the near corner, Courtois was overjoyed: he had the right prediction.
This gave him unlimited confidence.
Courtois took another step forward and then leaped forward, leaning sideways and extending his arms in hopes of saving the ball that was spinning into the near corner of the net.
However, the next moment, Courtois's eyes flashed with a look of despair.
Because, Cheng Hai's free kick has more power and speed than he expected, and the angle is more tricky.
Although Courtois made a best save, and also bet on the right direction to predict the move in advance, Cheng Hai's shot power and speed were too great, and the angle was too awkward, Courtois finally failed to stop the ball in the expected position, and could only watch in the air as the ball swept diagonally above his fingers, slammed into the inside of the post, and bounced into the net.
Despite all his efforts and the luck of betting in the right direction, Courtois was unable to stop Cheng Hai's free kick in the end.
This made him very depressed, and he lay on the ground for half a day and did not get up.
Of course, no one cared about him.
At the moment when Cheng Hai's arcing free kick spun into the corner near the goal, the entire Louis II Stadium exploded instantly.
"Wow!!"
"The ball is in!"
"Cheng Hai is awesome!"
"Hat-trick !!"
"Cheng Hai also scored a hat trick and tied the score again!"
"It's terrifying, it's not a goal battle between two teams, it's a goal battle between Cheng Hai and Falcao!"
"This trip to the finals is worth it!"
"It's too strong! Hat-trick VS hat-trick, it's indescribable. ”
"Two gods, two monsters, this is a pinnacle duel that is even more exciting than the Champions League final, and it is worthy of the Super Cup, which is known as the battle of kings in Europe."
"This ball is so beautiful, more beautiful than Beckham's full moon scimitar! However, how do I feel that after Cheng Hai equalized the score, Falcao will score again and take the lead again? ”
"Uh, unlikely, right? Do you want to have a big four happiness VS big four happiness? That would be terrifying! ”
"It's not impossible!" "I'm so excited, hurry up!"
On the field, after throwing the ball directly into the goal, Cheng Hai was also quite excited, and instead of celebrating with his girlfriend Aniya, he rushed to the stands where the most Dortmund diehard fans gathered, and opened his arms and let out a huge roar to vent the excitement in his heart.
The fans were the same, shouting excitedly at Cheng Hai like crazy demons, and they were fascinated by Cheng Hai's charm.
What kind of persistence and tenacity is it to tie the score three times when you are three times behind?
Not only the Dortmund fans, but also many neutral fans applauded Cheng Hai, and shouted loudly when everyone chanted Cheng Hai's name, cheering and applauding Cheng Hai's performance.
Whether it's for fans of both teams or neutral fans, or fans of Falcao and Cheng Hai, this game is simply a world-class game to test the fitness of the heart, and it is too exciting.
Falcao looked at Cheng Hai, who was surrounded by Dortmund players to celebrate, with some surprise and some admiration.
However, it's more about the fighting spirit, or the strong desire to continue scoring goals and continuing to lead.
He wants to defeat Cheng Hai, defeat Dortmund, and become the king of kings in Europe.
He has already scored a hat-trick, and if he scores another goal, performs a big four, and finally leads the team to defeat Dortmund to win the championship, it will be like stepping on the corpses of Dortmund and Cheng Hai to become famous.
When the time comes, to stay at Atletico, the club will have to raise his salary. If you leave, you must join world-class giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester United, and you can also talk about personal treatment.
This game has to be fought!
So, when the Dortmund players finished their celebrations and the game resumed, Falcao ran more widely, faster, more aggressively and more ferociously.
Although Dortmund also knew that Falcao wanted to score and take the lead again, they played a twelve-point spirit against Falcao to defend.
However, Falcao was really excited and in good shape today.
The European king of the kings, the competition against Cheng Hai, and the eyes of the world have all allowed Falcao to use his 12 points of fighting spirit and strength to show himself, hoping to win the championship and attract the attention of super giants.
Although Falcao's form in the second half was not as good as in the first half due to fitness reasons, he was still very threatening.
After missing two chances and another shot off the crossbar, Atletico Madrid won a wide free-kick on the right side of the field in the 72nd minute.
It is impossible to hit the ball directly at goal, so the ball can only be hoisted into the penalty area and the players of both sides will fight for the top.
This time, Lian Cheng Hai retreated into the penalty area to participate in the defense, wanting to use his superhuman grabbing points, bounce, and header ability to clear the team.
As a result, Atletico Madrid did not hoist the ball into the penalty area, but sent a free kick.
When everyone rushed to the small penalty area to prepare for the top, Alda Turan, who took the free kick, actually hoisted the ball into the penalty area, but crossed it to the top of the arc of the big penalty area.
Falcao, who was supposed to rush to the penalty area with everyone, not only did not rush, but took two steps back, exited the penalty area, and then faced Turan's pass, and kicked the ball towards Dortmund's goal without stopping the ball at the top of the arc of the penalty area.
It was a standard tactical free-kick that was both unexpected and effective.
Before everyone could react, Falcao had already completed the entire shot, and even the Dortmund player in the box flew to block the gun's eye, but could not block the ball.
The ball seemed to find the only gap, passed through the shadowy penalty area, and then flew into the goal without any suspense.
Goalkeeper Weidenfeller was blocked by too many people in the penalty area, and the save was not urgent, and in the end he could only watch the ball go into the net.
In the 72nd minute, Falcao scored another goal to complete the quadruple and help Atletico Madrid take the lead again 4-3 Dortmund.
This goal made all the Atletico Madrid fans crazy, and the commentators from all over the country in the commentary box also excitedly shouted at the domestic audience with the loudest voices:
“Goooooooooooooooooooal……”
"The ball is in, it's in, it's in!"
"Senior !!"
"Oh my God, Falcao staged a big four on the stage of the European Super Cup, in the game against Cheng Hai!"
"Crazy! Lose your marbles! Falcao is really crazy, this state is even more terrifying than Cheng Hai. ”
"After completing a hat-trick in the first half, in the 72nd minute of the second half, Falcao actually scored again!"
'He received a tactical free-kick from Alda Turan and fired a powerful volley from outside the box into the Borussia Dortmund goal.
"Not only did Falcao complete his senior four, but he also gave Atletico Madrid the lead again."
"Atletico Madrid 4-3 Borussia Dortmund."
"And now, it's only 20 minutes until the end of the game."
"If Atletico Madrid hold on to that, they will win the UEFA Super Cup by beating last season's European treble."
"At the same time, if the result of the competition is like this, then Dortmund's idea of renewing the contract with Cheng Hai with the highest salary in the world and trying to achieve the great cause of the annual six-time championship will be declared a failure."
"Falcao's state today is simply amazing!"
However, Cheng Hai is also in a very unusual state! He has already scored a hat-trick and equalised the score three times. This time, maybe Cheng Hai can keep up with Falcao again, and once again stage a senior to help the team equalize and retain the hope of reversing to win the championship! ”
