In fact, there is some truth in the speculation of these fans.

For these veteran Atletico Madrid supporters, they still know exactly what kind of player Diego Costa is.

Despite Diego Costa's ability to score goals, he has been valued by coach Diego Simeone because of his all-round attacking ability and dedication to sacrificing personal data for the good of the team as a whole.

As the team's forward center forward, Diego Costa can not only rely on his strong physical fitness and sensitive sense of smell in front of the opponent to complete the scoring in front of the opponent's goal, but also often pull to the side and use his flexible foot skills to attract the opponent's defensive attention, so as to create more offensive opportunities for other teammates, and even find gaps in the opponent's defense and directly use the pass to assist teammates to score.

However, Diego Costa, who is willing to sacrifice his personal data for the overall good of the team, chose to force his own shot when he should have chosen to pass the ball, which naturally makes Atletico Madrid supporters suspect that there is a feud between him and Feng Quan. After all, if he had been in a similar situation in a previous game, Diego Costa would have almost always chosen to pass the ball to his team-mates.

How could the "problem" that even ordinary fans in the stands could find out about it in the eyes of the team's coach Diego Simeone? However, Diego Simeone is not willing to conclude that there is a real feud between the two players based on this attack alone, after all, as a forward center forward, it is normal for him to occasionally be "a little more alone" in the game.

Although Diego Simeone was not angry that the team missed a good chance to score, the team's assistant coach, Herman Boggs, jumped up from the bench and rushed to Diego Simeone's side. However, just as Hermann Boggs pulled up and was about to loudly reprimand Diego Costa, who was retreating from the opposition box, he was stopped by Diego Simeone's reach.

"Herman, calm down first, let's wait and see, if Diego (Costa) continues to do this, it's not too late for us to teach him a lesson."

…………

In fact, Diego Costa is not worried that the opposition will steal his starting center position, after all, he also knows very well that Feng Quan is the best at it, and the position that can maximize his power is always the left winger.

But even so, in the two rounds of the league that he missed due to injury, Feng Quan, who appeared "temporarily" in the position of the forward center forward, but had an extremely good performance, was still listed by Diego Costa as his biggest "competitor". Of course, this "rival" does not refer to a position within Atletico Madrid, but to the performance of the league as a whole.

Although Diego Costa was rewarded with 10 goals in 16 league games after his loan spell at Rayo Vallecano in the 2011-2012 season, he was appreciated by Diego Simeone after returning to Atletico Madrid last season, and thus received plenty of appearances.

However, since Falcao is the team's first choice in attack, as long as the two players are playing at the same time, Diego Costa will give up the position in the middle of the box for the opponent, and more often appear on the two flanks to open up enough space for the opponent to attack.

Yes, Diego Costa has never been a "selfish" player, but compared to the thrill of scoring his own goals, who would willingly "make a wedding dress" for others?

If Diego Costa, like Feng Quan, has been playing as a winger since his debut, it may be easier to accept the reality of "making a wedding dress" for his teammates, after all, the first task of a wide player is to deliver shells to his teammates in the front line.

As early as the end of last season's La Liga, many insiders believed that Diego Costa had the initial potential to become a top striker in La Liga. However, this season's Diego Costa's personal improvement has greatly exceeded the expectations of these "insiders".

In fact, even though Diego Costa was a regular winger in last season's games, he still helped Atletico Madrid to a total of 20 goals in all competitions.

When Falcao switched to the French powerhouse Monaco for a high price of 60 million euros this summer, Diego Costa, who had been "forbearing" for a season, finally got his wish to get the position of the main center forward he longed for.

After the start of the new season of the league, Diego Costa, who no longer needs to hide the pride in his bones, is most eager to prove that his strength is not inferior to Falcao, who has left the team, through his outstanding performance. In fact, Diego Costa, who scored two goals in just 55 minutes in the first round away against Sevilla, does have the capital to be proud of.

It's a pity that just when the ambitious Diego Costa was about to wrestle with the leading stars of the "Western Super League", Leonel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, a sudden unexpected injury made him have to temporarily stop moving forward.

Then, when Diego Costa saw the excellent performance of Feng Quan, who temporarily replaced him as the team's striker, it was no surprise that he saw him as his rival.

Although Feng Quan, a "competitor", will not hinder his progress, and if the two sides cooperate smoothly, he will even become a help for his own progress, but the proud Diego Costa is still stubbornly unwilling to lose to the other party.

"Pass the ball to you? And then help you score your fifth league goal? Wouldn't it be harder for me to surpass your total goals? ”

Just as Diego Costa was looking for a reason for his "selfish" behavior, Almeria goalkeeper Esteban's goal kick had been brought back to the front by Atletico Madrid defender Raul Garcia.

Alda Turan, who had just retreated to the centre circle, grabbed the ball before the opposing player Fernando Soriano. However, with his back to the attack, Alda Turan did not choose to force a turn to dribble the ball, but instead passed the ball laterally to the feet of Koke, who quickly stepped forward to the front.

At the same time, just as Raul Garcia pushed the ball to the frontcourt, Feng Quan, who was still near the top of the opponent's penalty area, had already run towards the open area on the right side of the front court.

As the Almeria goalkeeper took the goal-kick with his teammates all facing the Atletico Madrid goal, few defenders noticed the air on the right side of the pitch. Not only that, but when Alda Turan got the ball first, the overall formation of the Almeria team subconsciously surrounded his position.

Although Feng Quan's sudden move to the right did not attract the attention of the Almeria defenders, Koke, who received Alda Turan's pass, had already clearly seen Feng Quan's entire movement.

So, without the slightest hesitation after winning the ball, Koke sent an accurate over-the-top pass towards the wide open area in front of the wind.

Since Koke's pass landed four or five meters in front of the wind, the wind unloaded the ball easily without slowing down at high speed. Immediately afterwards, Feng Quan used his nimble and skilful foot skills to easily get rid of two defenders and burst into the box.

Just when Almeria's central defender Pellelano desperately pounced on Feng Quan, ready to block his shot angle, he was surprised to see Feng Quan actually pass the ball to the empty space diagonally behind.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a player wearing the No. 19 shirt of Atletico Madrid, and directly volleyed in the direction of the ball, sending the ball into the dead corner of the upper right corner of the goal.

The next moment, Feng Quan, who had just completed the assist, immediately opened his arms and rushed towards his teammate No. 19, who opened the score, while shouting in somewhat broken Spanish: "Shoot beautifully, Diego!" ”
