Chapter 509: Questioning!?
Although it was because of his own request that Diego Simeone excluded Feng Quan from the 18-man squad against Almeria, it made Feng Quan's mood very complicated after sitting at home and seeing the team that did not have him still win easily.
Although his excellent performance has made Atletico Madrid still unbeaten in the league, as a traverser, Feng Quan is very clear that even without his own existence, Atletico Madrid will win this season's La Liga title and reach the final of the Champions League. What's more, due to his "butterfly effect", Griezmann's early joining, as well as Saul's early return, have further enhanced the overall strength of the team.
Therefore, he must help Atletico Madrid win more titles in order to be able to show his true value.
…………
Despite the victory, the team's all-time winning streak was extended to 14 games, much to the delight of Atletico Madrid. But Feng Quan's absence has allowed Real Madrid's "mouthpiece media" "Marca" to find a new topic.
“…… It is undeniable that Feng Quan from mysterious China does have good strength, otherwise it would not be possible to dominate the two lists of goals and assists in La Liga, and there is a faint trend of challenging the two kings of La Liga. However, in the game that ended yesterday, Atletico Madrid, which lacked the wind, still easily defeated Almeria away, so it seems that it is Atletico Madrid's strong strength and tactical style that is good at defensive counterattacks that have created the achievements of the Chinese today. ”
"Wind has been among the best in the world this season, but if you look at his goal stats carefully, you can see that nearly two-thirds of his goals come from quick counter-attacks. And less than one in five of the shots in front of the goal were scored.
Therefore, even if he can contribute world-class statistics, his technical characteristics determine that he can only become a "systematic world-class player" after all, and can never reach the real, all-round world-class star like C. Ronaldo. And, once Feng Quan leaves Atletico Madrid's anti-counter system, his game statistics will inevitably be greatly reduced......"
Just after the newspaper Marca published its own opinion with a strong sense of subjectivity, the newspaper As, which is close to Atletico Madrid, also fought back.
"That's right, Atletico Madrid did get a big win without the wind. However, if it weren't for the Almeria team, which was playing at home, mistakenly thought that they were being despised and chose to attack in the game, Atletico Madrid, who had hidden nearly half of the main team, would have had a lot of trouble winning. ”
"In addition, it is true that most of Fengquan's goals come from counter-attacks, but for a 'newcomer' who has only been in football for more than a year and has little experience in the game, even scoring goals through quick counter-attacks is very respectable. And let's not forget that Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo scored just nine goals in the Premier League when he was 20 years old.
Therefore, the achievements of the 20-year-old alone are now enough to crush C. Ronaldo in the same period, not to mention that it was the fourth season of the Portuguese's career. ”
Since the two media outlets will "fight each other" before each "Madrid derby", Spanish fans who have long been accustomed to it only regard it as a pre-match psychological war between the two teams.
However, the "mutual strife" of the two Spanish media has greatly stimulated Chinese fans nearly 10,000 kilometers away.
Many domestic fans who originally supported Real Madrid, after seeing Marca's doubts about Feng Quan's true ability, temporarily "forgotten" their position, and instead hoped that Feng Quan's previous good performance in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals would continue to respond to the Spanish media's doubts.
Although many of these fans are die-hard fans who began to support Real Madrid when Florentino came to power and formed the "Galaxy Battleship", they are still Chinese after all.
Although many domestic fans have long been disappointed by the poor results of the Chinese national team in recent years, the emergence of Fengquan in the past two years seems to give them a glimmer of hope for the rise of Chinese football.
Therefore, when someone "doubts" Feng Quan's true ability, even if the opponent is only for the purpose of psychological warfare, and their "home team" Real Madrid is likely to profit from this, they still do not hesitate to choose to side with their compatriots.
And just two days later, Feng Quan repaid the support of those originally "hostile" fans with his own practical actions.
…………
Feb. 12, Wonder Metropolitano Stadium.
After nearly a week of adequate rest, Feng Quan's "physical state value" finally recovered to 73 points, so that he was able to play his strength more normally.
Although Marca questioned the strength of his proud disciple, Diego Simeone did not abandon the team's best defensive tactics because he wanted to help Feng Quan make a name for himself.
In fact, with Atletico Madrid taking the lead in the first leg, Diego Simeone's choice was very wise. After all, if Real Madrid, who are down by one goal, want to turn the tables away from home, they will inevitably launch a fierce attack on their own side in the game. The anti-counter tactics that your side is best at are undoubtedly the most effective weapons to restrain the opponent's onslaught.
Although Feng Quan, who is not very familiar with the Spanish newspaper, was not affected much by the doubts of the newspaper Marca, after the start of the game, he still showed something different from the past.
Because Diego Simeone gives Feng Quan full freedom in attack, even if he is a left winger, Feng Quan can appear anywhere in the front court according to his own judgment in actual matches.
However, due to his weak ability to grab points in front of goal, except for a few games when Diego Costa was absent due to injury, Feng Quan will rarely appear in the middle of the penalty area to receive passes from teammates.
However, Feng Quan, who returned to the starting lineup with Diego Costa in this game, not only rarely appeared on the two wings, but also appeared near the penalty area many times to attract the attention of the opponent's defense, and repeatedly took on the fulcrum task that should have been completed by Diego Costa.
At the beginning, Real Madrid's defenders thought that Feng Quanquan was influenced by the newspaper "Marca" and deliberately proved himself, so as to reduce the pressure on his defense.
But as the game progressed, they gradually discovered a problem.
On the surface, although it is difficult for Feng Quan, who is at the front, to get a lot of opportunities to calmly break through with the ball like on the wing, if you want to limit Feng Quan's attack, you need to arrange at least two defenders to mark it closely.
In this way, Feng Quan's forward partners Diego Costa and Griezmann will undoubtedly get more space to attack. At the same time, Feng Quan's diversion role in the front court also forced Real Madrid not to dare to invest too many troops in the attack.
And the most terrifying thing is that after pulling to the middle, the distance between Fengquan and the opponent's goal is also greatly shortened. As a result, he is even more threatening on the counter-attack than ever before.
In the 15th minute of the first half, Mesut Ozil's corner kick was hit directly out of the box by Courtois, who was judged to be accurate.
Gabi, who took the lead in the second spot, stopped the ball and then sent a through ball to the empty space on the left side of the field.
Griezmann used his pace to get the ball ahead of Carvajal and then adjusted slightly to deliver a through ball into the middle of the pitch.
Although Sergio Ramos and Khedira have been waiting by Feng Quan's side, they still subconsciously neglected to guard against Feng Quan at the moment when Griezmann got the ball.
The next moment, just when the two of them re-realized that marking the wind was their top priority because Griezmann chose to pass the ball, they saw that the "King of Speed" had already passed by his side like lightning and dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area.
Facing Casillas, who had abandoned the goal, Feng Quan once again performed his idol's signature pendulum swing to make the opponent lose his center of gravity, and then pushed the football into the unguarded goal......
