In the case of Atletico Madrid's striker's general lack of ability to grab points with headers, Feng Quan naturally gave up the option of high ball crosses.

At the same time, because after Feng Quan suddenly blocked the penalty area, the defenders of the Real Sociedad team failed to form a relationship with him at the first time, so that Feng Quan was able to observe the position in the penalty area relatively calmly.

In general, even if an opposing player enters his own penalty area with the ball, the goalkeeper will be positioned 1 to 2 metres from the goal line in order to make the right choice according to the next change.

So, when Feng Quan entered the penalty area, Real Sociedad goalkeeper Bravo moved to the front post to block Feng Quan's shot angle.

Although, if Feng Quan chooses the "theoretical dead corner" (the junction between the goal crossbar and the post) as the target, the chances of equalising are still high, but it is not so easy to achieve this goal. As long as the slightest deviation from the touch of the ball, the ball will be deflected out of the goal, or the goalkeeper Bravo will directly defuse the crisis.

Therefore, even if Bravo has moved to the front post at this moment, he does not think that Feng Quanquan will choose to shoot when the angle is not large, but is ready to intercept the cross at any time.

In fact, even the other Atletico Madrid teams don't think that Feng Quan will choose to shoot on his own, after all, since joining the team, whether it is the grouping practice within the team or the last round against Rayo Vallecano, Feng Quan's first choice in attack is to create opportunities for his teammates.

However, this time, Feng Quan was stunned and made the choice that others thought was the least likely to happen - a direct shot.

It wasn't until Feng Quan's right-footed volley sent the ball out of the "theoretical corner" of the front post like a cannonball, that the Real Sociedad defenders pounced to try to block the shot. Bravo, who had been waiting near the front post, only symbolically stretched out his arms upwards and did not have time to make a save.

Unfortunately, just when Atletico Madrid players such as Koke and Alda Turan were ready to raise their arms to celebrate the equaliser, they saw the football bounce back into the penalty area after hitting the junction of the goal post and the crossbar.

David Villa, who has a keen sense of smell, grabbed the second spot before the defenders and fired the ball into the top right corner of the goal. However, because the speed of this shot was not very fast, it was still pushed out of the bottom line by Inigo Martinez, who was desperately chasing back.

Although Feng Quan's wonderful individual performance failed to help the team equalize, which made his teammates feel a little regretful, it also re-invigorated the team's already somewhat low morale.

However, in the next corner, it finally made up for the regret of the Atletico Madrid players.

Gabi, who was in charge of the corner, drove the ball to the goal, and Atletico Madrid's central defender Miranda pressed the opposition player to rub the ball into the middle of the box.

Immediately afterwards, Raul Bravo, who was quick to follow, rushed to the right side of the goal before Granero.

Goalkeeper Bravo saved Raul Bravo's header, but the rebounding ball was eventually sent into the unguarded door by the quick-witted David Villa.

Just four minutes after Real Sociedad broke the deadlock, Atletico Madrid quickly equalised.

Although Feng Quan himself did not help the team equalize, his teammates still took credit for the equalizer, after all, if Feng Quan did not break into the penalty area with the ball and directly attack, Atletico Madrid would not have won the equalizing corner.

…………

After the equaliser, the Atletico Madrid players regained their composure, although Real Sociedad still cowered in the 30-meter area like a "turtle with a shrunken head", but the idea of Atletico Madrid players passing the ball to each other was obviously much clearer than before, and there were almost no mistakes in passing and receiving the ball.

Although Atletico Madrid, who had an absolute advantage until the end of the first half, failed to overtake the score, with a good performance in the last ten minutes of the first half, the players were still very confident in winning this game.

Originally, Diego Simeone wanted to use the half-time break to "teach a lesson" to the starters who were impatient in the middle of the first half, but after seeing their performance in the final stages of the first half, the Argentine coach decisively gave up this idea. After all, after the players have returned to their normal game mentality through self-adjustment, it is obviously more important to encourage them to continue to be in good form.

So when the Atletico Madrid players returned to the players' lounge, the first thing Diego Simeone did was encourage them with a smile on his face before starting to set up a new setup for the second half of the game.

'Even though we dominated the first half, we had to pay attention to Real Sociedad's quick counter-attack, and their Frenchman [Antoine Griezmann] was still very threatening. Diego Simeone said with a straight face.

"Juan (Forlan), in the second half of the game, when you put in the assist, don't press the table, otherwise once the opponent launches a counterattack, it will be difficult to get back in place in the first place. So, unless you try to break down the flanks when the opportunity is particularly good, the rest of the time you just need to do a good job of picking up your midfield teammates. ”

"Wind, in the second half of the game, your task is to use your dribbling to break through the opponent's defense, whether it is the left, right, or middle, you can move at will."

"David, you have to have a wider range of motion in the second half. Otherwise, most of the opponent's forces are concentrated in a 30-meter area, and you will have a hard time getting any chances. Also, when the wind is moving on both sides, you need to get into the box as quickly as possible and be ready to receive the wind's pass. ”

After thinking for a moment, Diego Simeone turned his head again and said to Feng Quan not far away: "Feng, although David is not good at heading points, but when your breakthrough tears through the opponent's defense, you can choose to cross the ball into the penalty area in a low flat way." ”

'If you can't find a good way to pass the ball, you can also use your shot to cross into the box, as you did against Rayo Vallecano in the last league game. In this way, even if our players can't grab the first point, there is a high chance that the opposing defenders will make mistakes in the rush and give us 'help'. ”

After a pause, Diego Simeone continued to Feng Quan: "Of course, if you feel like you have a good chance after a break, you can also try to shoot yourself. ”
