After the equaliser in Malaga, Atletico's players did panic to a certain extent - not that they were so vulnerable, but after 10 games without a win, no matter how nervous the players were, I am afraid that they will be easily flustered, feeling as if it is not easy to score a goal, but it is so easy to concede a goal......

At this time, Belleron and Baraja stood up, so that other players began to unconsciously revolve around the two of them to attack and defend, and Belleron's organization and Baraja's running also stabilized Atletico's current situation very well, so that they began to get used to attacking and defending with these two people as the core.

Dick's tactics were truly powerful at this time!

If Atletico only had a slight advantage in the midfield before, then with the excellent performance of Belleron and Baraja, and other players began to attack around the two of them, now Atletico Madrid's advantage in the midfield has gradually been brought into play!

Málaga's equaliser came in the 35th minute, and it stands to reason that they could go into the break with a draw, but Atletico Madrid created several chances in a row thanks to the excellent performances of Bellerón and Baraja!

In the 43rd minute, Belleron sent another penetrating through pass in the middle, and the forward Hasselbaink received the pass and tripped the opposing defender when he was about to shoot - the referee decisively awarded a penalty!

There was a roar of cheers from the stands – there was no doubt that the penalty was forced down just as he was about to shoot, and even showed only a yellow card to the displeasure of Atletico fans......

Dick shook his fist hard, and Atletico Madrid's relatively smooth offensive just now gave him a premonition that he was going to score - this penalty would be a pretty good opportunity!

Hasselbaink walked into the penalty area with the ball, and as Atletico Madrid's top scorer, the penalty was naturally taken by him - the original penalty taker was Kiko's, but Kiko is now off the field......

"Hit in, hit in, hit in......"

Countless Atletico fans have prayed in their hearts that it is now rare for them to see a team go into the break with a lead, and that this penalty will undoubtedly give them a lot of peace of mind if it is scored......

The referee blew the whistle and Hasselbaink ran and shot!

The Dutchman shot into the bottom left corner, but Contreras made a timely judgment and saved Hasselbaink's penalty with one hand!

Luckily, Hasselbaink reacted quickly and immediately rushed over and controlled the ball near the baseline, but by this time both players from outside the box had already rushed into the box, with one defender from Malaga sticking to him from behind, while others were scrambling to find their target......

Hasselbaink was forced by the opponent to not even turn around, at this time he saw Capdevilla rushing up from near the sideline, he immediately passed the ball directly out of the penalty area, Capdevilla received the ball, and then raised his foot to pass the ball into the penalty area at the first time!

Capdevilla's cross flew directly into the penalty area, Belleron wanted to jump for the top, but was stuck by the opposing defender and couldn't jump, at this time, a tall figure forced out of the penalty area, and then jumped high, gliding two meters in the air like a big bird, and then hit the ball fiercely!

"Baraja plugged in the back row, rushed to the top—"

Amid the shouts of the commentators and the shouts of more than 40,000 Atletico Madrid fans at the scene, the ball that was hit by Baraja flew out quickly, and Contreras, who had just saved Hasselbaink's penalty, flew up to save the team again, but this time - he couldn't do it!

The ball flew in front of him and slammed into the net behind him!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！ Ruben Baraha! Powerful header! Atletico are leading at home again! ”

"Baraja, who has rarely started this season, scored a goal for Atletico for the second time to take the lead! The 24-year-old midfielder hasn't been given much of a chance since moving from Valladolid three seasons ago, the first two and a half seasons were for Atletico Madrid's second team, and it wasn't until midway through last season that he made four appearances in the Atletico first team, and this season, although a member of the first team, has only made a total of 15 appearances in all competitions, starting not many times, and not performing particularly well, but Dick put him in the main squad immediately after taking over on an interim basis. And he did not hesitate to increase the number of midfielders from three to five, so that captain-level figures like Kiko were put on the bench...... No one expected that Baraja would immediately repay Dick with a wonderful goal! ”

Dick shook his fist violently, turned to face the stands again, raised his right hand high, and made a "V" gesture!

Disgusting Atletico fans again when they were cheering for a goal was a terrible act - immediately many Atletico fans didn't even cheer, but shouted at Dick: "! Wait until you actually win it and you're not too late to celebrate! ”

"Di, why do you always have to fight with them?"

Marriner also asked Dick with some incomprehension, and Dick shrugged his shoulders: "What we need now is morale...... The 10-game winless run has already made the whole of Atletico Madrid lose confidence in winning, and if I exaggerate my movements, the players will feel more different from before, so that our chances of winning will be a little bit higher. As for what the fans will think...... How can I take care of it now! ”

Marina knew a little bit about it, and the excitement of celebration after the goal was something he hadn't seen in a long time, Atletico had only scored seven goals in the first ten league games, only two goals in one game, and most of the goals were just equalisers or face-saving goals - they hadn't been ahead in a game for a long time!

The frantic celebration lasted for two minutes, until the referee interfered with the Atletico players and returned to their positions.

By the time Atletico scored the second goal, the clock had already reached the 44th minute of the first half, and after this celebration, Malaga completed an attack, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half - Atletico entered the break with a one-goal lead!

"I'm very happy with your performance in the first half!"

Dick did not hesitate to praise himself, he knew that this was not the time to pour cold water, Atletico Madrid's results have not been good since the beginning of this season, the confidence of the whole team has reached a very dangerous edge, he had to do it as a last resort when he took office, otherwise no one would listen to him, and now he has suppressed these players with the authority of Old Hill, and now he naturally needs to give more sugar to eat.

"See? Just do what I'm going to do, and we'll be ahead! You can win! It's just seven points, there are still six league games, as long as we can win as many games as possible, then there is no hope of relegation! I don't want to tell you anything about Atletico Madrid's long history and glorious traditions...... Those are all things of the past, the past is the past, the present is the present! I want to tell you that Atletico are still a strong team, but they have not had a good manager to command. Now I'm here and I'm the best manager! I'll lead you to reach your goals for the season, and I'll do it! ”

How long has it been since Atletico's players heard such rhetoric? Probably before the start of the season, Ranieri came to Atletico Madrid from Valencia, and he was ambitious to lead Atletico Madrid to create a championship miracle in the 95-96 season, but the cruel reality immediately poured cold water on him, and a three-game losing streak shattered all the pride of Ranieri and Atletico Madrid.

And Antich always sighed after taking office, the mood of the leaders is not high, how high can you expect the players to become?

And Dick has always been a guy who is not willing to be lonely, although he finally returned to his hometown in his previous life to be a civil servant who waits for death, but when he worked in a foreign company, he has always been an ambitious guy who wants to climb up and never expresses his emotions implicitly!

"We can win! We're going to win! ”

A lie repeated a thousand times is the truth! Although Dick is not as outrageous as saying it a thousand times, he has been instilling a point of view in the players, that is, if you listen to me, you will definitely be able to win, and you will definitely be able to succeed in relegation!

Although it is only a few days, it will definitely not lead the crowd through the overall atmosphere like a pyramid scheme, forming a brainwashing-like effect, but under his infection, the players' hearts, which were already about to dry up, began to have a little more anger.

"In the second half we went on the attack! I'm sending five midfielders not just to control the midfield, but to score more goals! Malaga have relied on their attack rather than defense this season, scoring 47 goals in their first 32 league games, with only Deportivo La Coruna, Barcelona, Valencia, Zaragoza and Real Madrid scoring more goals than them in the top five! And what about the goals they conceded? Forty-two! Ahead of them, only Athletic Bilbao and Rayo Vallecano have conceded more goals than they do, and both of them are frenzied attacking teams regardless of the back...... So as long as we concentrate on attacking, we will be able to score a lot of goals, that's for sure! Defensively...... Just strengthen it a little bit, and we relied more on offense than defense in this game. ”

"Don't worry in the second half even if they equalize first, because their defense is very average, with our offensive ability, we will definitely be able to score, patiently control the midfield, attack from the wings to the middle, their side defense has a lot of problems, from the wing to the middle of the coordination also has problems, this is where we can take advantage of. Hasselbaink, in the second half you were in the box and outside the box back and forth, Solari, Leal, bold forward attack, Belleron will pass the ball to your feet...... Baraja, that goal in the first half was well done, bold forward, you have the ability to attack, you can play it completely! As for their counter-attacks, the first line of defence is you, Serena, jamming their passing routes, slowing down their attacks and giving their teammates time to get back to the defense, got it? ”

The players who were named by Dick all nodded, the lead in the first half was something that had not happened for a long time, and this first half proved that this manager has a few brushes, since this is the case, do as he tells him, go and do a big job!
