Chapter 458: Upgrade [Great God's Light]
Although not all professional players have the ability to control the ball at the master level like Ronaldo and Messi, it is a basic ability that a professional player must have when facing the ferocious pressing of a single player of the enemy, being able to control the football at his feet in relative safety.
However, for a defender who is near his own penalty area, if he is pressed by an opposing striker when he is holding the ball, even if he has excellent judgment skills, the most correct choice is to pass the ball to a teammate in a safer position, or simply drive the ball forward with a big kick.
However, Musacchio, who scored the first goal early in the game and was full of confidence, chose to dribble the ball irrationally in the face of Fengquan's ferocious pressing.
If you switch to another striker, it is not easy to get the ball directly from the feet of the defender in a one-on-one situation due to the lack of defensive skills and defensive awareness. But for Feng Quan, whose speed and reflexes are far beyond ordinary people, once the defender is slightly bigger, he will be cut off by his "cheetah pounce" like a "cheetah pounce".
And this time, Musacchio, who was full of self-confidence because he scored a goal in the opening game, became the prey of Fengquan's "cheetah".
Just halfway through Musakio's change of direction, Feng Quan, who was aggressively pressing in front, stabbed the ball at his feet first.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Quan first relied on his speed advantage to grab the ball before Musacchio completed the turn, and then dribbled the ball with his right foot to avoid Dorado, who came to make up for the defense, and directly dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
Facing goalkeeper Sergio Assenjo who abandoned the goal, Feng Quan did not choose to attack directly, but crossed the ball to the unguarded Alda Turan on the right side of the penalty area.
With Alda Turan still unguarded at the time of Feng Quan's pass, the Turkish star had little trouble helping Atletico Madrid to take the lead before the end of the first half.
Although the goal conceded in the last minute of the first half was very demoralizing to the home team's players, with the enthusiastic support of more than 20,000 fans at the Love Song Stadium, the Villarreal players did not completely sink in the second half of the game, and firmly grasped the initiative on the field when Atletico Madrid adopted defensive counter-attacking tactics.
However, due to the overall strength of the Villarreal team and the away team, and the leading Atletico Madrid team adopted their best defensive counterattack tactics, so even if the Villarreal team at home firmly controlled the initiative on the field, it never really tore apart the opponent's solid defense, and could only barely threaten Courtois's guard through a long shot from outside the penalty area.
And with 36 minutes of the second half, Atletico Madrid also took advantage of a quick counter-attack to extend their lead again.
At that time, after Gabi successfully intercepted Villarreal's pass in his own half, he first sent a long pass over the top to the empty space on the left side of the field, and then quickly ran towards the opponent's half.
Fengquan, who had been cruising near the left halfway, quickly activated Gabi's pass and began to dribble forward along the left touchline.
Feng Quan dribbled the ball near the edge of the penalty area and suddenly stopped moving forward, and then when he attracted the attention of the opposing two defenders and forced the opponent's entire formation to move towards his position, Feng Quan suddenly passed the ball to the unguarded Gabi on the right side of the penalty area.
Facing Bruno, who quickly made up for the defense, Gabi stopped the ball with his right foot and picked up his left foot to make a long-range shot.
Then, when Bruno reflexively twisted his body to avoid being hit by the ball in the front and habitually stretched out his left leg to try to block the shot, Gabi used his left foot to dunk the ball in front of his right.
The next moment, Gabi, who was already completely unmarked, immediately picked up his right leg and completed a powerful heavy bombardment at a position about 20 meters away from the goal.
Although Sergio Asenjo, who was in great form for the game, accurately judged the direction of Gabi's shot, the ball was saved by him and grazed the post on the left side of the goal and drilled into the net.
In the end, with Gabi's wonderful long-range shot, the away team Atletico Madrid defeated the archrival Villarreal with a thrilling score of 3-1, and continued to remain unbeaten while also overwhelming the Barcelona team to occupy the top spot in the standings with a goal difference.
…………
Although the province of Castellón, where the Villarreal club is located, is not very far from the city of Madrid (more than 350 kilometers, more than 2 hours by car), since it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening after the match against Villarreal, Diego Simeone decided to stay in the hotel where the team was staying overnight, and not rush back to Madrid overnight, considering that the players were already very tired after a match.
In addition, after the end of this round of La Liga, there will be a week of rest due to the FIFA match day, which is also one of the important reasons for Diego Simeone's decision. After all, the next round of the league will not be played until two weeks away, and there is no need to rush back to Madrid with the team.
And, since the vast majority of the 18-man squad has been selected for their respective national teams, resting in place will also help players from outside Europe to stay in relatively good shape during the upcoming long flight.
After returning to the hotel, Feng Quan simply took a shower in the bathroom and hurriedly entered the system.
Sure enough, as soon as Feng Quan entered the system, he saw the message prompt "Football Side Mission (3) Completed".
After a moment of thought, Feng Quan first added the additional 5 points of "Football Professional Attribute Value" to his [Header] attribute.
The reason for making such a choice is mainly because Feng Quan is often arranged by Diego Simeone to the position of the forward center, and as a forward at the forefront of the team, Feng Quan's original [header] attribute of only 72 points is obviously not enough.
Then, since after completing this "side quest", his accumulated skill points have reached 33 points, so Feng Quan immediately spent 30 skill points to upgrade his [Great God's Light] skill.
The next moment, a system prompt appeared in the system that "[Great God's Light] has been successfully upgraded". Then, when Feng Quan carefully checked the effect of the upgraded skill, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face...... 2k reading web
