Chapter 691: Goal Shortage

(It is not easy to open double, ask the brothers for a wave of support, and the wind of the Three Kingdoms will rise at the end of the Han Dynasty)

Pressure? Yes, maybe the fans are in the excitement right now, but the Atletico Madrid players are under great pressure, because Real Madrid also dropped the chain, and before the game started, the result of the game on Real Madrid's side was transmitted to the Atletico dressing room, 1:1, which was the final result of this round of Real Madrid.

If Barcelona's defeat can bring a morale boost to Atletico, then Real Madrid's draw turned that morale into pressure, and it weighed heavily on Atletico.

Because everyone knows that this is Atletico's chance to widen the points difference, and even all Atletico Madrid people expect Atletico to beat their opponents, which invisibly brings huge pressure to the players.

"Guys~~~ Actually, we don't need to be so nervous, Real Madrid and Barcelona should really be nervous, because the result of this game is no matter what, we don't have any losses" Simeone found out about the situation of his disciples for the first time, and naturally had to deal with it to relieve the pressure on the players.

However, the effect of this can only be verified in the game, and time has not allowed Simeone to do more, and in the end, Simeone can only focus on Lin Dong.

Players from both sides came on, with Felipe and Turan suspended for Atletico Madrid accumulating yellow cards, and Argentine midfielder Sousa, who came on loan during the winter break, came on as a substitute.

This winter transfer, Atletico Madrid made a total of two reinforcements, both on loan, Argentine midfielder Sosa and Brazilian midfielder Diego were loaned from their respective clubs, and two players were also loaned, Giravogui returned to Ligue 1 on loan because he couldn't play, and then the youngster Torres went on loan to Villarreal.

Simeone's purpose in loaning Sosa and Diego is also very clear, that is, to increase the ability of the midfielder to deliver cannonballs, with such a big killer as Lin Dong, if he can't play to the extreme, it will be too wasteful.

Simeone's mentality has completely changed, and even now he is a little lucky, and now those big coaches are envying him, especially Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, you know, Lin Dong was originally a Real Madrid player.

On the field, Atletico Madrid has kicked off, and the ball soon came to the feet of Sosa, as the origin of the new franchise, Sosa naturally wants to show a little bit and brush up on his presence, not to mention, Sosa's skills are indeed excellent.

Once upon a time, Jose Sosa was also an out-and-out genius teenager, and it is said that he had a special fate with Simeone, Sosa was kicked out under Simeone's account, and then was recommended by Simeone to Serie A, but it was the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich who finally won Sosa.

Unfortunately, Sosa, like many South American players, was unable to adapt to Europe immediately, nor did he really transform his talent, which ended in being abandoned by the giants.

In the following years, Sosa moved to several teams, although there was no outstanding performance, but gradually adapted to European football, although Sasso's talent did not turn into strength in the end, but even with his current strength, he can gain a firm foothold in Europe, which also has Simeone's loan this time, within the scope of his ability, Simeone does not mind pulling his former disciples.

However, Sosa's performance this time made Simeone frown, because Sosa's breakthrough after receiving the ball was beautiful, but after the breakthrough, Sosa did not choose to pass, Real Sociedad's defenders are not vegetarians, fourth in the league last season, and entered the knockout round of the Champions League this season.

The end result was that the ball flew off the line, but Sosa was not too brainless, and lifted the ball to the defender with a kick, and Atletico won a corner.

On the sidelines, although Simeone was not satisfied with Sosa's choice, he also knew that as a new player on loan during the winter break, it was understandable that he wanted all the performances.

It was Sosa who took the corner, not to mention, the pass was still quite accurate, and the ball was sent into the Real Sociedad penalty area and over his team-mates.

It's just that Real Sociedad's air defense is good, Ansotegui pressed Godin, cleared the ball, and just landed at the feet of Griezmann, and Real Sociedad launched a quick counterattack.

Compared to Sosa, who has not yet fully enlightened his disciple, Griezmann's performance is undoubtedly countless times better, which also makes Simeone determined to bring him to Atletico Madrid next season no matter what.

Griezmann was drawing the ball to the defence and passing the ball to the limit, and Vela used his speed to the extreme, but even so, Bella couldn't brush Insua.

Perhaps Insua couldn't compare to Felipe in other aspects, but in terms of speed, Insua was a little faster than Felipe, and in the end, under Insua's entanglement and Courtois's attack, Bella's final shot was deflected off target.

"It's a shame that Real Sociedad almost broke Atletico Madrid's goal with a counter-attack" The disappointment of Real Sociedad is overflowing, and with the form that Atletico Madrid has shown this season, this is certainly not a lot of great opportunities Real Sociedad will definitely not have many opportunities.

Try it and it is true, after this wave of counterattacks by Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid immediately became cautious, and even a little too cautious, the backfield is almost different, and the attack relies on long passes to find Lin Dong.

Although Lin Dong's air supremacy is very perverted, what is the use of his perverts, his teammates around him are too willful, and basically the ball he passed out never came back.

In the first half of the season, Costa averaged one goal per game, second only to Lin Dong and Ronaldo in terms of goal rate and goals.

Lin Dong's pervert is okay, although Costa has been competing with Lin Dong, he also knows that it is almost impossible for him to win against Lin Dong.

But it is still possible to beat Cristiano Ronaldo, who was only one goal difference between Ronaldo and him before, but now, the goal difference between the two has become 3.

Goal drought, Costa ushered in a goal drought for the first time this season, and since the 18th round of the league, Costa has not scored again.

So Costa's current behavior is understandable, but understanding is understanding, whether he can accept it is another matter, not to mention Lin Dong, even Simeone on the sidelines is a little dissatisfied at the moment.

In this game, the sooner Atletico Madrid scores, the better, which can greatly relieve the pressure on the players, but ten minutes after the game started, Lin Dong, as the core of Atletico Madrid, didn't even get a shot, which is not acceptable to Simeone.

Even if Lin Dong didn't say anything, he was quite unhappy in his heart at the moment, Lin Dong was not as selfless as the outside world said, otherwise he would not have left Real Madrid.

In fact, Costa's competition with Lin Dong is known to the whole Atletico Madrid, and to a certain extent, as the head coach Simeone is still happy to see it, in Simeone's eyes, Costa's performance this season is so good, Lin Dong's stimulation is very important.
