When Diego Costa quickly stepped forward to beat Sevilla centre-back Fazio and put the ball into the back of the net, he collided firmly with goalkeeper Beto, who flew towards him.

Immediately afterwards, Diego Costa, who lost his center of gravity, fell heavily in the goal area of the Sevilla team.

At first, Diego Costa wanted to get up and run to the side to celebrate the goal with Felipe Luiz, who had provided an assist for him, when he saw the ball fall into the goal. However, when he stood up from the turf, there was a piercing pain in his left ankle. Immediately afterwards, Diego Costa hugged his left leg with a painful expression and fell again in the goal area of the Sevilla team.

It turned out that when Diego Costa was hit in mid-air by goalkeeper Beto, causing him to be unable to control his body smoothly to the ground, causing the inside of his left foot to make "intimate" contact with the turf.

In such a situation, Diego Simeone's left foot simply could not bear the weight of his entire body, causing him to sprain his left foot.

After seeing the scorer Diego Costa fall on the turf in pain, Diego Simeone didn't care to celebrate the goal with the other players.

As the rules of the game did not allow him to enter the stadium, Diego Simeone hastened to ask the team doctor Iker Aduris to check on the status of Diego Costa's injury after getting permission from the fourth official.

As soon as Iker Aduris trotted to Diego Costa's side, he began to check on his injuries.

Due to the rules of the football game, in order to prevent some teams from deliberately delaying the game time by taking advantage of the injury of the player, a player other than the goalkeeper must leave the field as soon as possible and receive treatment outside the stadium if he really needs simple medical treatment after being injured. Therefore, after making sure that Diego Costa did not hurt his bones, Iker Aduris was asked by the referee to help Diego Costa walk beyond the baseline for treatment along with Felipe Luiz.

After removing the labor pain spray from his backpack, Iker Aduris aimed at Diego Costa's wound and began to spray.

After the effect of the analgesic spray had been worn off a little, Diego Costa got up and tried to walk a few steps slowly, but the pain in his left ankle immediately made the iron-blooded man, known for his tenacity of willpower, have a very hideous expression on his face.

Enduring the intense pain in his left ankle, Diego Costa took another six or seven steps slowly. This time, Diego Costa finally couldn't bear the pain from the injury anymore and fell to the lawn with a painful expression.

Immediately afterwards, Ikr Aduriz shook his head helplessly at Diego Simeone, who was standing on the sidelines, looking anxiously at the direction of Sevilla's baseline, and then made a substitution gesture to the opponent.

When Diego Costa saw the gesture he least wanted to see, he immediately put one hand on his forehead and cursed in a low voice: "Damn! ”

If Diego Simeone had expected Diego Costa to come up with an injury at the cost of helping his team win the game, he would have rather lose this game than see his love get hurt.

Since last season's top scorer Falcao left France this summer, the onus has fallen to Diego Costa to help Atletico Madrid crush the city. It is precisely because of the belief that Diego Costa has such quality that Diego Simeone has brought in only one player in the summer transfer window, David Villa.

Although, in addition to Diego Costa, Atletico Madrid also have two strikers in the first team, David Villa and Adrián López. However, the size and technical style of these two strikers doomed them to the responsibility of the team's attacking bridgehead like Diego Costa, and could only roam the role of shadow striker on the edge of the box.

If Atletico Madrid's style of play can be like Barcelona's, with excellent passing ability to firmly control the situation on the field, and then use the subtle cooperation between the strikers and midfielders to create an open space in the opponent's half and then suddenly make a killing move, perhaps they can use the same "no striker play" as Barcelona.

Unfortunately, Atletico Madrid, which is based on strong defense and ferocious counterattacks, is destined to not be able to line up a "striker-free lineup" in the forward line like Barcelona, and must place a strong and fast-paced fulcrum striker in the frontcourt. And neither David Villa nor Adrian López have that ability.

That's why Diego Simeone would rather lose this match than see the outcome of Diego Costa's injury.

However, with Diego Costa already determined that he could no longer continue to play, Diego Simeone had to bring Adrian López off the bench to temporarily take on the role of the team's forward arrow.

When Adrian López came off the bench with a dead-goal chance, Diego Simeone arranged for an entourage member of Atletico Madrid to take Diego Costa to hospital in order to determine whether his injury would affect the rest of the game.

…………

Although Diego Costa put Sevilla behind again in less than 10 seconds of the second half.

However, the Sevilla players who played at home did not panic much because of the opponent's "lightning goal", but took advantage of Diego Costa's departure due to injury, and Atletico Madrid temporarily was in a situation where there was one less player, and launched an attack on the heart of Atletico Madrid.

Not only that, but when the Sevilla players saw the result of Diego Costa's treatment and still unable to get back into play, they were immediately demoralized and the attacking momentum was even more ferocious than before. With the exception of goalkeeper Beto and two centre-backs, the other eight Sevilla FC players all crossed the halfway line to Atletico Madrid's half.

The reason why Sevilla FC dared to attack so recklessly was entirely because Atletico Madrid was basically paralyzed by the lack of Diego Costa as a fulcrum in the frontcourt.

That's right, Adrian Lopes can also use his speed to attack the opposition's defence on the counter-attack. However, his absolute speed does not have much advantage in front of the Sevilla team's defense, and his size is not very strong, as long as the opponent uses his physical advantage to pressure him in the process of chasing, he can effectively suppress Adrian López's attack.
