Chapter 37: It Must Be Accidental
'Atletico Madrid took a 2-1 lead at home in the first half and after a run of ten games without a win, they finally gave us something positive...... However, looking at the two goals in the first half, Atletico seemed to be quite lucky, the first goal came from a mistake by the Malaga defender and goalkeeper that allowed Belleron to pick a miss, and the second goal was a chance to find after the penalty was not scored. Interim manager Dick brought good fortune to Atletico, but it was a question whether that luck could be sustained in the second half. ”
Atletico's third coach this season has finally brought some good fortune to Atletico, as the 21-year-old Chinese manager Dick has already set two records when he was in charge of this game, one is the youngest manager to direct a La Liga team in La Liga, and the other is the first Asian coach to direct a La Liga team in La Liga! The elder Hill has always been able to do something strange and strange, and is it a blessing or a curse to appoint Dick as interim head coach this time? ”
In the interval between the breaks, the commentators commented on the game, but there was a consensus on one thing, that is, although Atletico Madrid led in the first half, but the two goals seemed to be scored in chaos, which was not very convincing, but the goal of Malaga was quite organized and the line was clear, so it seems that Atletico Madrid may not have much advantage.
Dick didn't make a substitution at halftime, now the whole is just a little bit of a shape, and a sudden substitution will ruin the current situation, he just emphasizes that he will continue to attack in a way that controls the midfield, and does not have any anxiety - he believes that with the ability of Atletico Madrid's players, as long as they are not psychologically affected, they will be able to win this crucial first game!
Yes, this game is really crucial, and for that reason he used up two goal cards in this game - now he only has four of the most useful goal cards on hand, and the others have not yet found the best way to use them.
He just used two goal cards and didn't know how many goals Atletico should be able to score in this game - Atletico had already scored two goals in the first half, what if it was all the goals of the goal cards that were consumed? So at this time, Dick was not too sure.
But he has to be very confident, and if he doesn't have faith, how can the players have confidence?
Even if it's bluffing, even if it's pretending, he has to pretend until the end of the game!
That's what Dick was thinking at this time.
So in the dressing room, the Atletico players saw a confident Dick, which made them start to feel more confident about the second half of the game.
"Let's go, remember one sentence, the victory belongs to Atletico Madrid!"
As the Atletico players replied and set off, Kiko, who was sitting in the corner, looked up and gave Dick a complicated look.
**********************************
When the players from both sides appeared on the field, it seemed that the Atletico fans, who had been resting for more than ten minutes, began to cheer.
The first-half lead minimized the boos for Dick in the stadium, and with the exception of the members of the Kiko Guard, the rest of the fans felt that the team was at least a little different because they had the lead in the first half – and of course they would not be stingy with their cheers.
Even a win in this game will not fundamentally change the situation for Atletico, but in any case, after ten rounds of winless games, Atletico fans are desperate for a victory!
As a result, after the start of the second half, the entire Calderón stadium was filled with the shouts and chorus of Atletico fans.
"It's been rare to see this kind of pomp and circumstance lately." Old Hill in the box muttered.
However, five minutes into the second half, the excitement quieted down a bit – because Malaga scored!
Just five minutes into the second half, Málaga's top scorer Brazilian Catania scored in a typical Catania style when Dario Silva fired a low ball after a quick break down the flank, Catania got ahead of Sandy to stop the ball and then swept a shot into the bottom left corner of the net, which Molina couldn't save.
The players in Malaga began to celebrate their goal, and the enthusiasm of the Atletico fans was poured cold water on it again!
"Atletico isn't good right now...... Two leads, two equalisers, another huge blow to their self-confidence! Although it is only a draw, can Atletico, whose morale and self-confidence have fallen to the bottom, still be able to bottom out? ”
This is the opinion of most commentators, they are knowledgeable people, naturally know that football games are not just about the strength of the players, Atletico Madrid has not won so many games before, which will cause a big blow to their state and morale, this game finally scored two in the first half, but was equalized by the opponent in a row, self-confidence was hit like this, no matter how good the player can not play his strength.
"Luck alone won't work......" Little Ciel sighed in the box.
Old Hill glared at him fiercely, and little Hill was shocked to realize that there were not only two fathers and sons in the box, but the other two shareholders, Cerezo and López, were all in the box, and Dick, the head coach, was arranged by Hill, isn't this a joke?
Cerezo and López glanced at each other, the two of them only have a little more than 10% of the shares in the Atletico club, and they can't compete with Old Hill at all, and Old Hill's skills are also very good, they can only be an idle shareholder, but now it seems that ......
Dick ignored the intrigue at the top, he only cared about the situation on the field.
"Remember what I said earlier? Keep playing like this! Braving the boos coming from the stands, Dick shouted into the arena.
He said at halftime that no matter what, even if he is equalized or even fallen behind by the opponent, he must play according to the established tactics! He bears all the responsibility for losing!
Sometimes a responsible manager is the one who can make the players feel at ease, and now that Dick has shown his responsibility, the players will naturally not have too many worries to play!
"Keep playing like this! Anyway, with a coach behind you, what's there to be afraid of? ”
Many players are thinking this in their hearts - in fact, it is true, anyway, there is a coach on top, they can just play boldly, what is there to worry about? Anyway, this manager is just a disobedient player, and if he doesn't let one go until he is relegated, there will be no problem if we are obedient......
The Atletico Madrid players, who thought like this, unconsciously left behind the blow of conceding consecutive goals.
After the restart, the players in Malaga began to be surprised to find that Atletico did not collapse as they had imagined, but began to run more aggressively!
Atletico Madrid's players are definitely powerful, with top scorers like Hasselbaink, top playmakers like Belleron, excellent wing attackers like Solari, and Baraja's front and back impact, although it is simple, it is not something that any team can resist.
The previous results were poor, one is because the overall deployment is not good, and the other is because the long-term poor results have made the team lose self-confidence, and several players who have lost their self-confidence are fighting on the field, and it is hell if the results can be good......
After Dick's series of operations, coupled with the two goals in the first half, Atletico Madrid's players began to gradually look like a team, rather than an individual.
Just five minutes after Málaga's goal, Atletico made a beautiful playmaking attack!
Bellerón got the ball under the cover of Baraja and now has his receivers on both wings, with Solari running close to the flanks and Leal moving closer to the middle as if to pick up, and the two men's runs attract the attention of most of the Malaga defenders.
However, Belleron was keenly aware of the captain Aguilera who silently stepped forward from the right side - Aguilera is a versatile player, not only at right back, but also at right midfield, he can play, he can be a versatile player, footwork and positional sense must be good, if he has been sure to plug in, it means that he has found a good opportunity.
Belleron pretended to move the ball to the left, pulling the entire defense of Malaga even more to the right, only to suddenly turn around and a half-high ball to the right!
Aguilera, who was inserting at high speed, lifted his foot to unload Belleron's pass, and then began to break down the flank, at which point the defenders of Malaga woke up like a dream and began to move to the right to block Aguilera's pass.
Aguilera didn't cross, but turned the ball into the box and cut inside!
This time the defenders of Malaga were even more chaotic, and the opposing wide players cut into the box with the ball, what did it mean? Fans with a bit of a brain know......
Just as some of them were rushing towards Aguilera and others were still looking for their target, Aguilera knew that it was almost there, and he immediately raised his foot and passed the ball towards the gap in the box.
The next moment, Hasselbaink appeared at the landing point of the ball, and then faced the rolling ball slightly sideways, picked up his right foot, and swept the ball directly into the air!
The ball flew out of Hasselbaink's feet like an arrow from a string and into the gates of Malaga!
“GOOOOOOOAL! Hasselbaink! A sharp blow! Nineteenth goal! Great shooter! ”
When the on-site commentator shouted again, the entire Calderón stadium erupted in huge cheers at the same time, and all the Atletico Madrid fans jumped up from their seats with open hands and let out their own passionate cheers.
Take the lead for the third time! In the case of the opponent's two consecutive equalizers, Atletico Madrid still quickly took the third lead, such a tenacious mentality, such a strong offensive level, is it really the Atletico team that has not won ten games?
If the first two goals were lucky, then this goal is a clear line, so people have nothing to say! Being able to play such a smooth attack after the opponent equalized twice in a row is already commendable in itself!
"It's different, it's different! Taking the lead three times in a row, and being able to calmly attack after the opponent equalized twice in a row, this Atletico team is very different from the previous one! What kind of magic did Dick use to make such a huge difference in Atletico in just one week? ”
The commentators also began to change their tunes, which was a change made for their gaffe - just now they basically thought that Atletico might be bad at the moment, but only five minutes later, Atletico took the lead again!
The die-hard Kiko guards in the stands also cheered involuntarily - they hadn't seen such a scene for a long time! It wasn't until they calmed down after the celebration that they were a little embarrassed – something that happened when Kiko didn't play! Don't......
"Impossible, it must be accidental!" The die-hard said to themselves in their hearts.
