Fierce, and fierce, Villarreal wants to play in the Champions League, the Champions League is not only famous, but also internal, and it's not just about the team, it's also a huge help for the players.

Villarreal is also fierce, not to mention the big rotation of Atletico Madrid in this game, Villarreal's performance in the first half of the season alone is enough for other players in La Liga to look up to, because Villarreal is the only team that lost to Atletico Madrid in the first half of the season.

In the first half of the season, there were a total of 19 rounds, and Atletico Madrid won 18 rounds, whether it was against Barcelona or Real Madrid, it was a corpse that Atletico Madrid won wildly, and the only one who escaped was Villarreal.

Therefore, for Villarreal, Atletico Madrid is also holding its breath, if it wasn't a draw last season, then Atletico Madrid would have won all the way to the end, which is a feat that no club has completed so far, but unfortunately, this feat was destroyed by Villarreal.

Villarreal is fierce, but Atletico Madrid is even more fierce, Villarreal wants to score points on Atletico Madrid, wants to break into the top four, and Atletico Madrid also wants to score points on Villarreal.

The league has come to the 32nd round, and if this game is won again, then Atletico Madrid will have a better chance of winning the final title, besides, there is only one Villarreal left for Atletico this season that has not been beaten.

At the start of the game, Villarreal scored into the Atletico half, rushed into the heart and completed the first shot of the opening game.

A long-range shot from midfielder Bruno was headed back by Perbet, and Bruno rushed to the outside of the Atletico penalty area under the cover of his team-mates and tested Courtois's nerves with a long-range shot.

Immediately Atletico also colored, Diego passed through Lin Dong, Lin Dong picked up Raul Garcia, who squeezed away the defender and rushed into the penalty area, but Raul Garcia was a little slower, or the Villarreal goalkeeper reacted quickly.

It is said that the goalkeeper standing in front of Villarreal's goal at the moment is still on loan from Atletico Madrid, and was once seen by everyone as Sergio Assenjo, who may finally take over Casillas's best goalkeeper in La Liga.

Debuted in Valladolid, transferred to Atletico Madrid in 09, and this transfer changed Asenjo's entire career, although Asenjo performed very well at the beginning, but with the arrival of injuries and the rise of De Gea, Asenjo gradually lost his main position.

Of course, the main one is Asenjo's injury, if it weren't for the injury, maybe there would be nothing to do with De Gea, not even Courtois, and Atletico Madrid would not have to worry about the goalkeeper next season.

This is a typical goalkeeper ruined by injury, well, how similar to the German Adler, of course, Asenjo is not without opportunities, after all, he is not very old, he was 25 years old in 89.

This time Asenjo's performance is very good, in fact, this is also Asenjo showing his ability to his own club, because Asenjo knows very well that Courtois will not stay at Atletico Madrid, that is Asenjo's opportunity.

In the first ten minutes, Asenjo actually performed very well, saving three times from Atletico Madrid, but Raul Garcia still completed the shot and fired a long-range shot from outside the box.

Sosa held the ball down the flank and passed diagonally, Raul Garcia carried the defender and his long-range shot was blocked by Asenjo, and after three minutes of defense, Lin Dong tested the teammate with a header.

As for Villarreal, there were also two shots on goal in the first ten minutes, the second of which came from the front line, when striker Perbet received a cross and his header was directly confiscated by Courtois.

The turning point of the game came in the fifteenth minute, when a powerful shot from the Lin Dong penalty area was saved by Asenjo, which was a world-class save.

Lin Dong is notoriously angle-oriented, and when Lin Dong shoots, the position is almost empty, and he is still a step away from his nearest defenders.

But a strong shot under this opportunity was still unbelievably saved by Asenjo, and it can be seen from this save that Asenjo is excellent.

However, no matter how good Asenjo is, he can't stop Atletico from wanting to score, and it comes after Asenjo's world-class save.

From the corner, Sosa drove the ball into the Villarreal penalty area, under the cover of Alderweireld and Godin, Raul Garcia rushed back and jumped and headed the ball near the penalty spot, although Asenjo made a save, but this time he could only look at the ball and sigh, watching the ball pass through his fingertips and fly into the goal behind him.

"Raul Garcia, the Atletico striker has been doing really well this season, and he's been extremely good both as a midfielder and as a striker."

Raul Garcia is really good, not only Martinez agrees, but Atletico fans also agree, of course, it doesn't really matter that they agree, what really matters is that Simeone and Lin Dong agree.

Seriously, Lin Dong has had enough of Costa, if it weren't for the stability of the team, if it wasn't for the goal in his heart, how could he have put up with Costa for so long.

In fact, Simeone also discovered this, so Simeone was very happy about Raul Garcia's performance, because he knew that Raul Garcia was more suitable to be Lin Dong's partner than Costa, which had actually been proven.

Lin Dong was born to be the protagonist, and an excellent protagonist needs the support of a supporting role, of course, the supporting role and the protagonist complement each other, which is the biggest difference between Raul Garcia and Costa, because Costa is not willing to be a supporting role.

On the field, Lin Dong was the first player to rush towards Raul Garcia, which never happened when Costa scored, and before, even if Costa scored next to Lin Dong, Lin Dong was not the first person to go up and celebrate with Costa.

Of course, this is also the opposite, when Lin Dong scores, Costa will definitely not be the first to run to Lin Dong, let alone other interactions.

With Raul Garcia's goal, the rhythm of the game officially entered Atletico mode, although Villarreal did not give up, but the situation has changed dramatically.

This was also proven in the subsequent game, and the best way to prove that this was when Atletico scored again, a typical counter-attack, and the scorer was replaced by Lin Dong.

Raul Garcia's header rubbed back, Lin Dong gave full play to his speed, shook off the defenders, caught up with the ball, rushed into the penalty area, and faced the attacking Asenjo, Lin Dong shot again, but this time Asenjo failed to create a miracle, and Atletico Madrid rewrote the score to 2:0.
