Chapter 607: Opening Blitz

In fact, in the previous attacks, Torres also ran out of space, and Feng Quan also saw his run open, but Feng Quan did not choose to pass.

The reason why Feng Quan is like this is not because he is greedy, but because the empty time Torres ran before is not suitable for direct kicking, and at the same time, Torres is almost greedy for scoring goals today. Therefore, Feng Quan felt that if he chose to pass the ball at that time, even if it was not a good chance, I am afraid that Torres would choose to force the goal.

Not only that, even if Torres ran out of space, Feng Quan, who was willing to create opportunities for his teammates, did not choose to pass, which further confirmed the false impression of Almeria players that "Torres has lost trust and it is difficult to receive passes from teammates".

So, when Torres ran out of the space again, and at the same time Feng Quan sent a wonderful pass at the right time, Torres finally completed his first league goal after returning to Atletico Madrid with the help of Feng Quan's "nanny assist".

…………

Although Torres was not disturbed by any Almeria player until he finished his shot, Torres's eyes were still locked on the football after completing the shot.

It wasn't until the whole football rolled over the goal line that Torres, who had received La Liga goals again after several years, rushed to the sidelines with excitement like a young player who had just entered professional football, and then took off his shirt and crossed the billboard to celebrate wildly with the fanatical fans.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Quan, who provided the assist for Torres, also came to his side with an excited face, hooked Torres's neck with his left hand, and then waved his right arm vigorously to interact with the fanatical fans.

The next moment, Torres, who was still excited, suddenly turned around and gave Feng Quan a big bear hug, and said to Feng Quan with a sincere face: "Thank you, Feng." ”

Torres's words were flat, but the expression on his face was full of sincerity, after all, for Torres, who has been away from home for many years, scoring goals is the best reward for his parent club that has cultivated himself into a world-class star.

Subsequently, all the Madrid Arena players, except goalkeeper Oblak, rushed to Torres' area to celebrate the memorable goal in various ways.

Although they were reluctant to pass the ball to Torres because he kept wasting opportunities for some time ago, when Torres helped the team break the deadlock, everyone immediately "selectively" forgot about Torres's previous poor performance, after all, the result of the game is always more important than the process.

…………

As Fernando Torres had already entered injury time when he scored, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half as Atletico Madrid finished celebrating.

Atletico Madrid, who were already significantly superior to their opponents and had a one-goal lead, played more comfortably in the second half of the game, and did not blindly attack as they did in the first half.

Torres, who reopened his league goal account, was still actively running up front, and he was obviously more reasonable when handling the ball than in the first half.

With the defensive pressure reduced, the Almeria team, which had been on the defensive, gradually stepped up their attack, but unfortunately their move hit the home team's hands, after all, the best thing Atletico Madrid is best at is counter-attacking goals.

As a result, Feng Quan, who assisted Torres in first-half stoppage time, not only scored two goals himself in the second half, but also assisted Alda Turan to score a goal in the 84th minute of the second half to make the final score 4-0.

…………

Since the 26th still has the first knockout round of the Champions League away to Bayer Leverkusen, on the second day of the match against Almeria, Diego Simeone only arranged a small amount of recovery training in the morning, and then announced a holiday in the afternoon to allow the players to better recover.

Although Atletico Madrid won all four rounds of La Liga after the return of the wind, scoring 17 goals and conceding only one goal, it is absolutely crazy that many Spanish media believe that Atletico Madrid's road trip will be very difficult.

First of all, Bayer Leverkusen played a day earlier than Atletico Madrid in the last round of the league, plus they are still playing at home in this game, while Atletico Madrid has to go through a long flight of more than 1,000 kilometers to Leverkusen's state of North Rhine-West***. Before the game even started, the home team had a big advantage in terms of fitness.

Secondly, even though it is close to March, the average temperature in the area where the Bayer Leverkusen team is located is still between minus 2 and minus 5 degrees, while the average temperature in the Madrid area has already reached minus 4 to 14 degrees Celsius. Therefore, if the Atletico Madrid players are unable to adapt to the huge temperature difference, it will also have a big impact on their competitive form.

Although Atletico Madrid has a certain advantage in terms of overall strength, the timing and location factors also have a great impact on the final result of the game.

On the day of the game, Bayer Leverkusen, who had the advantage of being at home, launched a fierce attack on Atletico Madrid from the beginning.

While many media outlets in Germany and Spain are optimistic about their teams, Bayer Leverkusen coach Schmidt is well aware that Atletico Madrid is the stronger side. Therefore, if they want to have the last laugh in the two-legged matchup, they can only rely on the home advantage to ensure a win and get as many clean sheets as possible for Bayer Leverkusen to come out of the road.

To be honest, although there is nothing wrong with Schmidt's game strategy, he seriously underestimated the terrifying ability of Feng Quan, the "great god".

Yes, the cold weather on the day of the game did have a big impact on the players of Atletico Madrid, but it had no effect on Fengquan, who grew up in northeast China.

Although football is a collective competition, Feng Quan already has the ability to change the outcome of the game by himself, not to mention that Feng Quan, who has the [Great God's Light] skill, can also help other teammates temporarily improve their abilities.

Just three minutes into the first half, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak easily confiscated Bellarabi's cross and threw the ball directly to captain Gabi near the top of the box.

After Gabi received Oblak's hand toss and completed the turn, he passed the ball directly to Feng Quan on the left side of the front court. Before the wind could complete the turn, two Bayer Leverkusen players quickly surrounded and prepared to pinch the defense.

Although Schmidt believes that Atletico Madrid's physical fitness and competitive condition are not as good as his own team, he still does not neglect to focus on Feng Quan's defense. In any case, Feng Quan is also the holder of the Champions League single-season goal record, even if he misses other players, he must not relax his marking, after all, once Feng Quan's speed advantage is brought into play, it will be difficult for defenders to use foul means to stop his attack.

Just as full-back Hilbert and midfielder Lars Bender were about to form a pinch against Feng Quan, Feng Quan took advantage of the situation to flick the ball sideways towards the middle, and then sent the ball into a huge space on the right side of the field with a precise cross.

Due to the speed of Feng Quan's pass, the defenders subconsciously thought that the football was likely to fly directly out of the sideline, after all, not everyone has the "perverted" speed of Feng Quan. Therefore, several Bayer Leverkusen players, who were closer to the right flank, did not use their best in the process of running to the landing point.

However, just as the ball was about to fly off the touchline, Griezmann was seen to unload the ball with his right foot and take a few steps forward along the touchline before sending a straight cross towards the near end of the goal.

In the next moment, Mandzukic, who was in position, got ahead of the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the top left corner of the Bayer Leverkusen goal with a beautiful lion flick of his head......
