Chapter 926: The Situation Reversed

When Koke left the field, the few Atletico Madrid fans all stood up and applauded, although the ball was scored by Lin Dong, but if it was not for Koke to pass the ball out with a desperate injury, it would not have been possible at all.

The referee then added a yellow card to Rathbender, and the Leverkusen captain's tackle was indeed a threat, as evidenced by Koke's injury, so there was no dispute about the yellow card.

Schmidt is in a dilemma, continue to attack, or withdraw to let Atletico attack?

Keep attacking? Atletico Madrid is a team known for its defense, and its defensive strength is among the best in the whole of Europe, which has been fully proven in the previous time, Leverkusen's opening attack has no way to create a real threat to Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid also has Lin Dong, a guy who has the ability to grasp the opportunity to be perverted.

As for letting Atletico come out? If Atletico Madrid without Lin Dong is strong in defense and weak in attack, then Atletico Madrid after Lin Dong is balanced in attack and defense, and Atletico Madrid's perverted goals Lin Dong accounts for half of the credit.

In fact, after thinking about it so much, in the final analysis, the problem is still on Lin Dong, whether it is offensive or defensive, as long as Lin Dong can be restricted, then Atletico Madrid's threat can be reduced by half.

So here's the problem? Who can really limit Lin Dong, Barcelona can't do it, Real Madrid can't do it, AC Milan can't do it, and Chelsea can't do it either.

After all, in today's football, there has never been a team that can limit Lin Dong, because no matter what kind of defenders he faces, what kind of defensive lineup strength he faces, Lin Dong can always score.

"Fuck, how can there be such a monster in addition to this" Schmidt, who didn't think of a solution, couldn't help but curse secretly.

At the same time, Schmidt is extremely envious of Simeone, if he also has a forest under his own, then he is also confident that he can lead Leverkusen to sweep the Bundesliga and dominate the Champions League.

But it's a pity that there is only one Lin Dong in the world, and even in the history of football, there is only one Lin Dong, indeed, there were many outstanding players in ancient times, but there was no perfect one like Lin Dong.

On the court, the game has restarted, and when there is no other way, Schmidt can only choose a steady and conservative tactic, based on defense, and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

For the change of Leverkusen's tactics, the players on the field felt it for the first time, and at the same time, Simeone on the sidelines also noticed it for the first time, and then under the gaze of the Atletico players, Simeone waved his hand.

Although it was Leverkusen who lured him, Simeone must not be false, just because he has Lin Dong as a big killer in his team, and Mandzukic is also a first-class center forward, and he is extremely familiar with the Bundesliga team.

The situation was completely reversed, and Atletico began to press Bayer Leverkusen to play, and in the fifteenth minute, Mandzukic completed another goal.

This time it was a header, a pass from Usar, who took a few steps after receiving the pass to attract the Leverkusen player and then picked it lightly, the ball came to the outside of the big penalty area, Lin Dong jumped up on the line of the penalty area, the header rubbed back, and Mandzukic jumped to the top.

Two minutes later, Atletico made a comeback, only to be fouled by Bayer Leverkusen, and Papadopoulos, a centre-back who was notoriously dirty, tackled Mandzukic in the scramble.

As a result, it almost caused a riot on the sidelines, Simeone saw that the referee did not take out the card and decisively fired at the fourth official, Schmidt was not to be outdone, and also rushed to the side of the fourth official, and then the two teams of managers sprayed each other.

Soon not only the head coach, but also the assistant coaches on both sides joined in, but fortunately the referee came over at this time and warned Simeone and Schmidt before finally letting the two sides separate.

However, this is the Bayer Arena after all, and as an away stadium, Simeone's behavior will undoubtedly detonate the fans in the stands, and in the following minutes, the Leverkusen fans in the stands gave Simeone all the boos.

On the pitch, the game had already restarted, and Atletico Madrid won a well-placed free kick, but Atletico's free kick was really speechless, and the ball flew straight out of the bottom line.

In the 19th minute, Lin Dong ushered in the first shot after the goal, a long shot from outside the penalty area, Juanfran crossed from the side, Lin Dong received a pass outside the penalty area and turned to shoot directly, the ball was saved by the Leverkusen goalkeeper, and Atletico Madrid won a corner.

Godin, Gabi sent the ball into the penalty area, and the Atletico Madrid central defender overwhelmed the opponent, saying that the height of the Leverkusen back line is very average, so in terms of headers, Atletico Madrid has more advantages.

But the advantage does not mean the goal, although Godin hit the corner and completed the goal, the ball did not fly into the goal, and Godin's header could not be pressed under the interference of the Bayer Leverkusen players.

Atletico Madrid is in full swing, and Leverkusen is not without a chance to counterattack, but in terms of opportunities, Leverkusen really can't compare with Atletico Madrid.

Just a minute before Lin Dong's shot, Leverkusen launched a wave of counter-attacks, but under Atletico Madrid's defense, Leverkusen's last shot went straight wide.

In the 21st minute, Leverkusen counterattacked again, this time it was a quick counterattack, but under Atletico Madrid's effective defense, Leverkusen's quick counterattack was forced into a positional battle, but Leverkusen still completed the shot, but the next shot did not threaten.

Bayer Leverkusen's counter-attack did not have the desired effect, and Atletico's attack paid off, and in the 26th minute of the game, Turan was brought down again on the wing, this time the referee took out the card, the second yellow card of the game.

Or a set-piece, this time an indirect free-kick, on the left side of the pitch, or Gabi, where the Atletico captain sent the ball into the Bayer Leverkusen box.

Mandzukic, the Atletico centre-forward, stepped out of the crowd and headed a decent header into the bottom left corner of the goal, a relatively absolute dead corner.

But on the football field, even a dead corner does not mean that a goal will be scored, Leno, another outstanding young goalkeeper in Germany, the youngest goalkeeper in the history of Germany's Champions League, creating the second most valuable goalkeeper in the Bundesliga.

And because of Leno's outstanding performance, Adler, who was once one of the twin stars of the German goalkeeper, lost his position, although there are injury reasons, but Leno's excellence is beyond doubt.

Leno reacted to Mandzukic's header and the Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper was notoriously fast, and in addition to reacting, Leno's goal-line skills were also quite good, and he also had a precise long ball and even a lot of talent in saving penalties.

"Blocked ~~~God~~~ The Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper relied on excellent anticipation and amazing reactions to finally block Mandzukic's header, this absolute dead corner."
