Although Atletico Madrid has a clear advantage in power, Fernando Torres's poor performances of squandering attacking opportunities have caused many players to gradually breed dissatisfaction, and then begin to question Torres's strength, and even if he has occupied a favorable position or there is an obvious gap next to him, he has not been able to receive passes from his teammates.

In the 31st minute of the first half, when left wing-back Siqueira received Alda Turan's ball on the left side of the front, Torres, who was originally cruising in the middle of the front, suddenly rushed diagonally towards the space on the left side of the penalty area.

At this point, Siqueira should have sent the ball into the space in the ribs of the penalty area, and Torres completed the next attack, but because Torres had wasted many offensive opportunities in the previous game, Siqueira chose to take the ball himself instead of passing the ball to the space.

Although Siqueira's strong burst won Atletico Madrid a corner, and the next corner from Gabi almost helped Miranda score, Diego Simeone on the sidelines still felt that Siqueira's previous choice was not reasonable. However, Diego Simeone didn't want to be too harsh on Siqueira's choice, after all, if it wasn't for Torres's previous stubbornness, maybe Siqueira would have chosen to pass the ball to him.

Although Diego Simeone was keen to get Torres back to find his scoring touch against underdogs Almeria, the Argentine decided to replace Torres for the sake of the team as a whole.

However, just as Diego Simeone asked assistant coach Hermann Boggs to call Fengquan and Griezmann to warm up and prepare to replace Torres, Atletico Madrid's starting center Mandzukic was knocked out of his eyebrow by a defender during a tussle up front.

If the injury at the brow bone is properly handled, it will not affect the player's subsequent games, but if the bleeding cannot be completely stopped, the referee will never allow the injured player to return to the game. Instead, Mandzukic was hit in the thinnest part of the skin at the edge of the eyebrow bone, and the team doctor had just stopped the bleeding for him, and before the referee could allow him to re-enter the game, the wound was bleeding again.

In order to avoid aggravating Mandzukic's injury and affecting the rest of the game, Diego Simeone decided to keep Torres on the pitch for the time being, replacing the injured Mandzukic first.

Originally, Diego Simeone wanted Griezmann to replace Torres, but with Mandzukic injured, there was no fulcrum striker in the Madrid Arena who could play the role of a bridgehead in the frontcourt.

If you meet some opponents of similar strength, it is good that both Torres and Griezmann can be qualified for the role of central striker. However, against Almeria, a strong fulcrum striker is essential, while Torres and Griezmann are not suitable candidates for a fulcrum striker.

After a short period of thought, Diego Simeone decided to replace Mandzukic with the wind.

Although Feng Quan is not a fulcrum striker in the traditional sense, Feng Quan, who is physically strong and has comprehensive skills, is enough to deal with any position on the front line.

…………

Although Mandzukic's injury forced Atletico Madrid to make a passive substitution, the rest of their teammates were not affected by this, but were demoralized by Feng Quan's appearance, after all, Atletico Madrid won almost all of the games when Feng Quan.

Feng Quan's appearance immediately made Torres realize how stupid his previous idea was.

Originally, Torres thought that even if he was no longer as brave as he used to be, at least in a "second-tier giant" like Atletico Madrid, he still had the ability to fight for a main position with his own strength, not to mention that he was still a "family member" cultivated by Atletico Madrid's youth training.

That's why Torres is keen to take advantage of this rare starting opportunity to put on a good show and put on a tight show to put on the bench with Mandzukic or Griezmann before regaining the absolute heart of Atletico Madrid from the wind.

It's a pity that today's Feng Quan's position in the Atletico Madrid team is incomparable even to Torres in his heyday, after all, Feng Quan not only helped the team regain the long-lost La Liga title, but also the number one contributor to Atletico Madrid's first Champions League trophy.

Coupled with the dazzling performance of breaking the individual single-season goal record in La Liga and the Champions League in a row, Feng Quan has already deservedly become the first person in the history of Atletico Madrid.

Therefore, when Feng Quan played, even if Torres's position was more ideal than Feng Quan, or he ran out of a good open position, his teammates would not choose to pass the ball to him, but stubbornly passed to Feng Quan. Because his teammates have already formed an almost "blind" trust in Feng Quan, even if Feng Quan can't complete the shooting and scoring himself, he will try his best to hand over the ball to other teammates to reorganize the attack.

In other words, as long as you give the ball to Feng Quan, you don't need to worry about the ball being snatched by the opponent at all.

When Feng Quan first came out, Torres was accompanied by at least one defender. However, after two attacks, the Almeria coach found that no one was passing the ball to Torres at all, so he asked the defenders to focus on the whole body. As for Torres, it would be good to wait for him to receive the ball and then let the nearest defender come over and mark it, after all, Torres is no longer what he used to be.

In fact, the Almeria manager's adjustment made a lot of sense, because even though Feng Quan was accompanied by two defenders at all times, within five minutes of Feng Quan's appearance, he forced Almeria goalkeeper Julián to make two difficult saves with his superior individual ability, and also won a free kick about 30 meters from the goal on the left side of the field.

Because of this, even at the cost of "emptying" Torres, the Almeria team must strengthen the defense of Feng Quan.

Just when the "defense level" for Feng Quan was raised to two people to watch, and at the same time, one person dragged behind to assist in defense, Feng Quan's face not only did not show the slightest embarrassment, but instead showed an expression of successful tricks.

Just as the first half of the game was about to enter injury time, Feng Quan won the ball on the left side of the front court and forced a break to the edge of the penalty area, and then made a long-range shot from the outside. However, Feng Quan's right foot was not shot, but a cross move continued to approach the middle.

Since Feng Quan chose to hit the goal by himself in the previous few cuts, the Almeria players thought that Feng Quan just wanted to get a larger shooting angle before choosing to hit the goal, so the five defenders guarding inside and outside the penalty area all pounced on Feng Quan without hesitation.

However, after completing the horizontal dial, Feng Quan once again made a long-range shot, but still did not choose to hit the goal himself, but lightly pushed the ball into the penalty area on the right side of the penalty area.

The next moment, the unmarked Torres easily received Feng Quan's pass without any interference, and then observed the position of the opposing goalkeeper before sending the ball into the bottom right corner of the Almeria goal with a simple arch of his foot......
