Chapter 371: Only the team that is hungry for the championship can compete for honor!

One of the distinguishing features of Atletico Madrid's season has been that most of their attacks have penetrated the front court through short passes.

This Barcelona is very similar, so Pep Guardiola actually knows how to limit this style of play.

He demanded that Barcelona's formation be premised, press up front, and preferably force Atletico Madrid to only use long balls and high balls even after getting the ball.

However, Atletico Madrid's training this season is still very solid, and in the first half, Atletico Madrid was affected by penalties, and the offensive efficiency was greatly reduced under the impatience.

In the second half, though, Atletico Madrid's form looked much better.

Barcelona's first wave lasted five minutes, with three shots on goal and a direct test of David De Gea, but there was no goal.

Then the ball was back at the feet of Atletico Madrid.

De Gea stopped the ball at his feet and instead of kicking it directly, he took a short pass and passed it to Godin.

Atletico Madrid's three midfielders have a clear division of labor.

At present, Kante's most important task is to defend, even when he is in an attacking state, Kante is also a defender who stays behind, and the opponent is the first to choke possible attacks.

The remaining two midfielders will have to take turns to come back to the back.

Passing the ball forward from the back, Raul Garcia and Luka Modric played a crucial role.

That had changed when Barcelona found themselves trying to keep Atletico Madrid out of the ball by pressing forward as they did in the first half.

The passing speed of Atletico Madrid's back field has increased significantly!

Raul Garcia came back and tapped the ball to the left, and when Xavi and Messi both got on the roam, Sandro tamed the ball back to goalkeeper De Gea.

De Gea then passed the ball to right wing-back Juanfrán.

The football was passed quickly, and Barcelona's frontcourt pressing was very active, but Atletico Madrid's successive passes were very fast, and if Atletico Madrid did not make mistakes, Barcelona's players would naturally not be as fast as the ball.

Luka Modric moved to the middle and Juanfran had three routes to choose from as soon as he got the ball.

He can continue to pass back to goalkeeper David De Gea, cross to centre-back Godin and diagonally to Luka Modric.

N'Golo Kante was also on the move, and he ran as far as he could allow Juanfran to pass the ball directly over

This is true for any Atletico Madrid player, and that's where the players run, allowing the player with the ball to have more passing options without being limited by the opposition's pressing.

Juanfran passes the ball to Modric!

Modric had already figured out how to pass the ball after receiving it.

He pushes the ball to the right!

There didn't seem to be anyone in that position, but it didn't take long for people to figure out why Modric was passing it that way!

Antoine Griezmann rushed up and received the ball in the open space!

With a few passes, Atletico Madrid's attacking line had already pressed past the half, to the edge of Barcelona's penalty area.

Barcelona's frontcourt pressing naturally had no effect.

The Barcelona players had to quickly retreat!

Then Atletico Madrid's attack also pressed up, and soon after the start of the second half, the two sides looked like they were attacking and defending each other!

Diego Costa came out of the box, Griezmann took the ball and crossed directly to Diego Costa, who then won the ball on the line and turned directly to shoot.

The football grazed the upright and went out of the line, startling the Barcelona fans.

Puyol is also criticizing Pique's defense!!

"Keep an eye on him!! Stick to the point!! ”

In the face of criticism from the big guy, Pique didn't dare to speak back, but he also felt aggrieved.

In the first half, Diego Costa was used as a fulcrum in the front court after taking the ball, making the ball for other Atletico Madrid players, and just now Pique was also defending against Griezmann who was in front.

"Atletico Madrid didn't make any substitutions, but the game is much better than before! After fending off a wave of Barcelona attacks, they also burned the front line to Barcelona's front, and Diego Costa's shot almost tested Valdés!! ”

Commentator Aduris said.

And Gao Bo off the field saw that it was time for Atletico Madrid to attack this time, and the corners of his mouth curled.

Diego Costa's tactical role is outstanding, especially against a team like Barcelona, and a strong centre-forward can definitely play a lot!

However, Barcelona did not seem to be more vigilant against Atletico Madrid's attack, and they continued to press up and attack as in the first half!

However, they soon learned their lesson.

After Atletico Madrid snatched the ball back again, it was still advancing from the back with short passes!

After several passes and runs in the attack, Barcelona's forward press was broken again, and the football passed to the front.

Diego Costa gets the ball near the penalty spot!

At this moment, Barcelona's defense in the penalty area immediately moved.

Pique clung to Costa as the two engaged in a physical confrontation.

The rest of the defenders were a couple of Atletico Madrid players who came in before the mark.

After all, Atletico Madrid has used Diego Costa to play in the back row a few times, and Barcelona's players are not stupid, so they will naturally be wary.

But this time, Diego Costa's passing line once again surprised the Barcelona players!

He passed the ball to.... Left!!

Sandro cut in from behind and was almost unguarded on the flanks!!

Gao Bo's fists are clenched!

At this time, in the Barcelona penalty area, Atletico Madrid has several points!!

Diego Costa, Antoine Griezmann, and Mario Suarez and Raul Garcia who burst into the box!

Four points! Enough is enough!!

Barcelona's weakness in defending high crosses.... Gao Bo hasn't forgotten it!

Gao Bo is looking forward to it!

Alves rushed out, but Sandro already knew what his mission was.

Before the game, Gao Bo explained to him that he had to see the right time to step forward... Cross!

A couple of previous attacks by Diego Costa have managed to keep Barcelona focused on the middle and neglected the defense on the wings.

This time, Sandro is on target!

The ball arced through the air and flew towards the penalty area!!

"Sandro crosses !!!!!"

The narrators were also nervous.

Alves, who had just rushed halfway through, found that he was doing useless work, and when he was about to retreat, Raul Garcia, who rushed in at the front point, headed the ball away!

The ball changed direction slightly and continued to fly towards the penalty area!

This time the forbidden area is completely chaotic!

Puyol was ready to clear the ball with a header, he was even jumping, but he could only watch the ball fly past him, and Puyol in the air could only watch the ball continue to fly back.

In the middle, Diego Costa and Mario Suarez both rushed to the landing point in the middle.

Busquez and Pique are defending them!

Valdés wanted to rush out, but the crowd in the box was so dense that he didn't dare to act rashly.

And the players in the middle didn't get the ball either!

After football was interfered with by Raul Garcia, almost everyone did not react immediately.

Except for Griezmann!

The nimble Frenchman killed Raul Garcia in front of him and then in the back!

The soccer ball flew to the back point and was already in the air!

In the entanglement with Maxwell, Griezmann grabbed the first kick before Maxwell cleared the siege!

Barcelona's players can only watch the football being kicked towards the goal by Antoine Griezmann!

Valdés reacted, but he could only touch the skin!

The ball bounced off the ground and flew over Valdés' palm....... And then it landed inside the goal!

One-to-one !!

“goooooooooooooooooooal！！！！！！！！！！！！”

'Atletico Madrid equalised!!! It was Antoine Griezmann who scored the goal!!!! It was a succession of passes that created open crosses and finally Antoine Griezmann slotted the ball into the back of the net!! This time, Atletico Madrid's attack was very patient and very well organised!! Pretty!!!!! ”

Narrator Aduris shouted.

Boos at Camp Nou!!

Griezmann won't care about the boos after the goal! He scored a goal and ran to the sidelines to celebrate with a calm "666" dance, but he was soon picked up by the likes of the taller Diego Costa and Mario Suarez.

Antoine Griezmann was drowned out in the crowd celebrating at Atletico Madrid.

Gao Bo also opened his arms immediately after scoring the goal, shouting in celebration.

As for what kind of performance the Atletico Madrid players can show in the second half, Gao Bo has no bottom in his heart. He is not a psychologist, so whether the players can pick themselves up in the second half and return to their normal level, Gao Bo has also been observing!

Now, Gao Bo can be sure that these players are trustworthy! They have a strong desire for champions and honors!

Such a hungry Atletico Madrid is the team that can compete for glory in the league!
