When Feng Quan chose to transfer the cross, except for Feng Quan himself and Griezmann, who received the ball, the vast majority of people in the Bayer Arena thought that the power of Feng Quan's pass was a bit too large, and it was difficult for a teammate to receive it.

Although Griezmann can be counted as a speed striker, he has only just crossed the halfway line when the wind is full, at least 30 metres away from where he will receive the ball. Based on most people's experience, Griezmann needs to have at least 11 seconds of speed in 100 meters to receive a pass from Fengquan.

So when Griezmann intercepted the ball before it flew off the touchline, the vast majority of people looked at the French striker with a look of hell. So much so that Mandzukic sent the ball into the opponent's net, and everyone still did not recover from the shock of "when did Griezmann's speed become so fast".

Could it really be that Griezmann's speed has really gotten faster? The answer, of course, is no.

The reason why Griezmann was able to receive Feng Quan's transfer ball was entirely due to the [Great God's Light] bonus to his [Speed]. You must know that Griezmann's 100-meter speed could have reached the level of about 11.5 seconds, and when the wind turned on the [God's Light] to add to his [speed] (speed increased by 8%), the French striker's 100-meter speed was of course stable by 11 seconds.

In fact, Feng Quan is trying to create the illusion of "too much passing force" to paralyze the nerves of the Leverkusen players in order to create relatively relaxed conditions for Griezmann to receive the ball.

At the same time, Feng Quan told Griezmann long before the game started: "Bayer Leverkusen will be very tight in defending me, so when the team is counter-attacking, I will first attract the opponent's attention, and then surprise the ball to the opponent's defensive space." ”

"In order to numb the opponent's nerves, I will pass the ball with more force, creating the illusion that the ball is likely to go straight out of bounds. But you have to run as hard as you can, and even if I increase the force of my pass, I will definitely keep it within the range you can receive. ”

Therefore, even though Griezmann did not know that his speed had been bonus, because of his absolute trust in Feng Quan, he still managed to intercept the ball with all his strength and helped Mandzukic break the deadlock on the court first.

…………

Although the goal was lost at the start of the game did not bode well, the Bayer Leverkusen players were confident that the victory would be their own, as they were more accustomed to the cold weather than the Atletico Madrid players, and their opponents were not in ideal fitness after a long flight, and their advantages would become apparent as the game wore on.

Therefore, instead of showing any panic after conceding the goal, Bayer Leverkusen behaved more aggressively and did their best even if it didn't seem to be a chance.

Diego Simeone was not surprised to see Bayer Leverkusen's performance, after all, this is the characteristic of the German team, and the more adversity there is, the more resilient they are.

If the end of the game is approaching at this point, then Diego Simeone will not hesitate to let his team shrink their defense and then use the speed advantage of Feng Quan's speed to counterattack.

However, the game has only just begun, and it would not be wise to choose to shrink the defence at this point, because once the German team takes the initiative on the field, even if they can keep the goal in a short period of time, the morale of the opponent will be more and more high.

If the morale of the German team is high to a certain level, it is easy to overperform. If this happens, Atletico Madrid's overall strength advantage will be gone, and the opponent's home advantage combined with the cold weather will likely put their team in a passive position.

As a result, instead of retracting from the defense, Diego Simeone moved the team's overall formation slightly forward to attack the opponent when the Leverkusen team stepped up their attack.

That's right, Atletico Madrid not only has the strongest defense in Europe, but also the strongest forward line led by Feng Quan is also the strongest combination in Europe, so even if it is against opponents in attack, Diego Simeone has absolute confidence.

Since Atletico Madrid is the dominant side, taking the lead has already raised the morale of the players to a high level, and the latest instructions from Diego Simeone to attack have directly boosted the morale of the players to the peak.

…………

At the beginning, when Schmidt saw that Atletico Madrid did not choose to retract the defense after taking the lead, and chose to attack with himself, he couldn't help but be happy, after all, if Atletico Madrid, which has the "big killer" of Fengquan, wants to defend it with all his heart, it may be really difficult for his team to get benefits.

However, as the game went on, Schmidt was surprised to find that Atletico Madrid, who chose to play against him, seemed even more terrifying.

Mandzukic, who is strong and strong in the center position, is not only able to take on the responsibility of attacking the bridgehead very well, but also has good ball control skills that make it difficult for defenders to complete the ball from his feet, and his ability to score points in the penalty area is not weak.

And Griezmann, who can play multiple positions in the frontcourt, is also a headache for Schmidt.

Although Griezmann's absolute speed is not as perverted as Feng Quan, he can also accelerate into the danger zone when the opponent's defense is not in place, leaving a certain amount of space in the process of dribbling the ball. At the same time, the extremely fast foot frequency can also allow him to make good use of the change of center of gravity to choose the inward line.

In short, it is difficult to contain Griezmann, who is full of "spirituality", close to a defender.

As for the strong as an ox, fast as lightning, and extremely delicate at the feet, Feng Quan, it is simply a nightmare for all opponents, and sometimes it is even difficult to use foul means to stop his attack.

Even if you send someone to mark it, and at the same time let your teammates in the nearby area help defend it, it is difficult to really stifle the attack.

Before the start of the game, the club's data analyst provided Schmidt with a technical statistics report for the season.

In addition to key statistics such as minutes played, goals, assists, and threatening passes, the report also includes regular data such as average runs per game and average passes per game.

One of the data that particularly surprised Schmidt was that in all the games that Feng Quan participated in, there was not a single mistake in the initiative. That is to say, as long as the wind is full of the ball, it is either his own dribbling ball to break through and finally complete the shot; Either the ball is passed out and the teammates carry out the next attack, and there is no direct break by the opponent.

Although football is a collective sport, there is such a "rebellious sky" as Feng Quan, no matter what the situation is, his teammates will not worry about attacking options, as long as he passes the ball to Feng Quan, he does not need to worry about being cut off by the opponent. In this way, the psychological pressure of teammates in attack will also be reduced to a minimum.

Such a situation is terrible.

The forward line of Feng Quan, Antoine Griezmann and Mandzukic is nothing short of perfect, whether it is a positional attack or a quick counter-attack after a break, Atletico Madrid can put any opponent's defence under extreme pressure.

And judging from the course of the game, the balance of victory is also clearly tilting in favor of Atletico Madrid.

Bayer Leverkusen's attack, while seemingly ferocious, struggled to pose a real threat against Atletico Madrid's iron-clad defence, often ending with a hasty long-range shot from outside the box or a gambling-style cross from the wing.

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid's attack can make the home fans in the stands tremble almost every time. If it weren't for goalkeeper Leno's near-open bravery, I'm afraid that before the first half of the game was over, Atletico Madrid would have made the two-legged knockout game out of suspense.

However, Leno's heroic performance only helped Bayer Leverkusen survive, and in the 19th minute of the second half, Feng Quan was about 30 meters away from the opponent's goal, and after helping Atletico Madrid extend their lead to two goals, Leverkusen directly lost the confidence of the equalizer.

With four days to play away at rivals Sevilla in the league, Diego Simeone replaced Feng Quan and Mandzukic after Feng Quan scored a goal.

In the end, with two goals from Feng Quan and Mandzukic, Atletico Madrid won with relative ease, laying a solid foundation for reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
