However, although Feng Quan had vaguely guessed Diego Simeone's thoughts, he did not want to see the team lose in the system.

It's okay if he didn't make it to the squad for the game at all, but Feng Quan, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't accept that he didn't do anything, but could only watch the team lose the game.

So, Feng Quan got up from his seat and sat down next to Diego Simeone.

"Boss, if this continues, we are really going to lose this game!" Feng Quan said with a bitter face.

Diego Simeone didn't answer directly, but turned his head to look at Feng Quan and asked with a smile: "Feng, do you really want to play now?" ”

"Yes." Feng Quan said categorically.

"Why?" Simeone asked.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Quan replied, "I don't want to see the team lose, because that would make my heart very unhappy." ”

Although the team's score was behind, after hearing Feng Quan's answer, the smile on Simeone's face turned out to be a little brighter.

"Wind, I don't want to see the team lose just as much as you do." Simeone put his arm around Feng Quan's shoulder and said, "But you have to know that even if we lose today's game, it won't have much impact on us winning the league title this season. ”

After a pause, Simeone continued: "However, three days later, we have no room for mistakes in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Barcelona. So, I hope that when that big fight comes, you and Diego [Costa] will be in the best physical condition. ”

"BOSS, I KNOW VERY WELL THAT YOU'RE RIGHT. However, in my memory, it seems that no team has won La Liga unbeaten all season, and I believe that we definitely have the quality to do something that other teams can't. So, why don't we go for it? After a slight pause, Feng Quan continued: "Also, sitting on the bench and watching my teammates play for two consecutive games will keep me in good shape for the game three days later, but similarly, missing two games in a row will make it take me more time to get used to the rhythm of the game. ”

Hearing this, Diego Simeone's eyebrows jumped unconsciously. Because the last sentence Feng Quan said was exactly what he ignored.

That's right, back-to-back breaks do allow Feng Quan to maintain a relatively good fitness level for the Champions League knockout game against Barcelona. But equally, missing two rounds of the league in a row is likely to make it difficult for Feng Quan to adapt to the rhythm of the game quickly.

Thinking of this, Simeone immediately said to the wind next to him: "Feng, I'll give you 5 minutes to warm up, and you can replace Saul if you do." ”

"BOSS, I've already warmed up before I came to you." Feng Quan said with a smile. "Now, I'm ready to play at any time when I give you the order."

After seeing Griezmann's weak header easily confiscated by the goalkeeper under the interference of the opponent's defense, CCTV sports commentator He Wei couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Atletico Madrid, which has been unbeaten in 30 consecutive league games, will usher in the first defeat of the season today." ”

When Athletic Bilbao right wing-back Andoni Iraola received the ball from his goalkeeper and passed the ball to Ibay Gomez in front of him under the pressure of Saul, the figure of Feng Quan suddenly appeared in the broadcast screen moving with the football.

Immediately afterwards, when Ibai Gomez's dribbling breakthrough was neatly shoveled out of the sideline by Felipe Luiz, he couldn't hide his excitement and said: "In the 72nd minute of the game, my country's player Fengquan, who has been away from the field for nearly 180 minutes since the end of the 28th round of the league, finally replaced Saul and stood on the field. ”

"It seems that even though other rivals have struggled to shake Atletico Madrid's huge lead in the standings, Diego Simeone is still reluctant to give up today's game."

If Feng Quan could hear He Wei's words at this moment, he would definitely roll his eyes and say to He Wei without hesitation: "Brother, you think too much." ”

…………

Although Diego, who played in the midfield position of Alda Turan in this game, has never been a player known for his speed, he was a young man who liked to tear apart the opposition defences from the middle with his skillful foot skills and imaginative passing.

However, as he has gotten older, the Brazilian's style of play has changed a lot from when he was younger. Not only did he deliberately reduce the number of breakthroughs with the ball, but even if he occasionally chose to break through, he preferred to move closer to the side.

It is precisely because Diego now likes to move more and more on the wings that Atletico Madrid's attack in this game is more concentrated on two wings.

If he starts with the wind, his "wings flying" with Griezmann may be a big headache for Athletic Bilbao, but when Griezmann is alone, the opponent can basically contain Atletico Madrid's wide attack by strengthening his side defense.

It is precisely because of this that Atletico Madrid has the advantage of possession time, but it is difficult to pose a real threat to the Athletic Bilbao goal.

While Feng Quan stood on the sidelines waiting to play, Athletic Bilbao coach Ernesto Valverde Tejedor thought that the opponent wanted to continue to play on the wing.

As a result, Valverde not only immediately asked his team's wide players not to easily press through the half, but also asked the two midfielders to stand slightly closer to the wings in order to help the wide players do a good job of helping the defense.

However, Feng Quan did not stay on the left side of the field that he is most familiar with after playing, but appeared more in the middle of the front court.

In the 77th minute of the game, Feng Quan received a pass from Diego near the center circle of the front field and first broke through to the left wing, and then when Mikel Rico's right leg stepped out to the right, he suddenly flicked the football between the opponent's legs with his left foot, and easily completed a crotch pass, and quickly completed the acceleration to the opponent's penalty area.

When Feng Quan was about to dribble into the opponent's 30-meter area, San Jose and Ander Iturraspe arrived from both sides to block Feng Quan's forward path.

At this moment, Diego, who was quickly moving forward behind the wind, shouted, "Wind, pass." Hearing Diego's shout, Fengquan immediately slowed down his pace and made a posture of waiting for Diego to step forward and seek cooperation.

However, just as San Jose subconsciously shifted his body's center of gravity in the direction where Diego was, ready to wait for an opportunity to steal, Feng Quan suddenly accelerated and rushed through the gap of nearly two meters or so between him and Ituraspe.

Although San Jose and Iturraspe were ready to "close the door" the moment Feng Quan suddenly accelerated, Feng Quan, who used the [Instant Acceleration] skill, was like a lightning bolt and did not leave them a chance to complete the "closing door".

Facing Borja Ekiza, who came to the defense, Feng Quan first swiped over the ball with his left foot, and then easily got rid of the opponent's entanglement with his right foot with his right foot.

Immediately afterwards, just when Ekitha barely completed the turn, and used foul tactics to block Feng Quan's advance at the risk of taking cards, Feng Quan completed a heavy bombardment at the right side of the penalty area 256 meters away from the goal.

The next moment, the football kicked by the wind was like a cannonball with a piercing sound of breaking wind, whistling into the upper right corner of the Athletic Bilbao goal......
