Chapter 961: Confession
Slightly dissatisfied, this is the mood of Atletico Madrid coach Simeone after a game, although before the game he said that he hoped to take away a draw, but when he did take away a draw after the game, Simeone did not perform well at all.
Yes, Atletico ended up with a draw, in the final, Atletico were scored in the last minute, a penalty, and the problem was again with Atletico's imperfect backline.
A foul by Gámez meant that Juventus again attacked the heart of Atletico Madrid, and Gámez retreated into the box to participate in the defense, only to bring down the opponent in the box.
Although the opponent was suspected of faking a fall, the referee showed no mercy and awarded a penalty to the opponent, and the disgruntled Gamiz was warned by the referee for a yellow card due to dissatisfaction.
The players on both sides performed well, but the referee who came to England was also quite eye-catching, so no matter how you look at it, it was a good game.
It was Andrea Pirlo who took the penalty, and Juventus' first penalty taker was Tevey, but Tevez was already on the bench by this time.
After Mandzukic scored Atletico's second goal of the game, Allegri made a substitution, and it was a succession, with Barzagli and Llorente coming on for Chiellini and Tevez.
Although Barzagli has had too many injuries this season, he is still in good shape on the court, and he has a lot of experience, and he can still do it for more than ten or twenty minutes.
Then there's Llorente, who is a pretty good centre-forward in La Liga, and sending him to form a twin tower combination with Almolata, you can also foresee Allegri's next tactics, well, almost exactly the same as Atletico Madrid.
Although the tactics are the same, there is a huge difference between the players, although Llorente is good, but obviously not as good as Mandzukic, and at the same time, Lin Dong is also much better than Morata, that is, Morata is also inferior to Mandzukic.
Alvaro Morata's talent is undoubted, and he is likely to become a top striker in the future, but Morata has little experience in the game after all, and he needs time to slowly transform his talent into strength, and not everyone can rise like a rocket like Lin Dong.
Pirlo is a veteran of the Champions League and World Cup, and this kind of penalty is only a small scene for him, so against Oblak, Pirlo easily sent the ball into the Atletico goal.
In the end, the score became 2:2, which was also the final score of the game, because four minutes after the goal, the referee from England blew the whistle for the end of the game.
In the post-match interview, Simeone said with a smile on his face that he was satisfied, after all, he said before the game that he was only aiming for a draw, let alone two away goals.
Not to be outdone, Allegri, the other half, said that a draw was acceptable and that he was confident that he could go to Madrid and get an ideal result in Calderón.
Of course, this is in front of people, in front of the media, and when they leave and return to their own people, both of them change their expressions, and if you look at the expressions, people who don't know still think that they have lost this game.
However, some people don't know that Simeone's ugly face is not only because of a draw, but also because he saw someone sitting next to a player who had a falling out with him.
Simeone's mentality has changed a long time ago, so the way he sees things will change with the change of his heart, and this can't be blamed on Simone, someone doesn't have a different idea in his heart.
Of course, there will definitely be nothing on the surface of the two, and even after a long time, there will be nothing, but this is a big premise, that is, they no longer work together.
At this point, Lin Dong's decision is very smart and timely, if Lin Dong continues to stay, maybe Atletico will no longer be the current Atletico next year, and at that time, Lin Dong will be able to waste a year.
Back in Madrid, although the schedule is still tight, the strings of the Atletico players are no longer tight, because there are only three league games left, and Atletico Madrid has already defended the league title this season.
With this in mind, the next few days at Atletico Madrid's training ground were a little more relaxed, but it was not good news for Lin Dong, because Simeone has made it clear that there will be substitutes and young players on the pitch for the next league game, and the main players will be relaxed in order to prepare for the second leg of the next midweek match with Juventus.
For the sake of his own record, Lin Dong still walked into Simeone's office, Lin Dong wants to create an unattainable goal record, although 68 is already an exaggeration, but Lin Dong aims for more than 70, if he can, Lin Dong will even score at least eight goals in the last three games, so that his average number of goals per game will reach two.
This data looks very exaggerated, but Lin Dong is confident that he can do it, Lin Dong now has a clear understanding of his strength, and he is no longer the fledgling guy who doesn't know anything about football.
Besides, judging from the data, Lin Dong has not played most of the games this season, and if it were normal under normal circumstances, Lin Dong's current goals should have exceeded 70 long ago.
"I hope I can appear in the next game" went straight to the point, and after walking into the office, Lin Dong said directly.
"I know what you're thinking, but I prefer you to focus on the next midweek first, as long as you make it to the finals, then you can do whatever you want in the last two league games" Simeone actually took Lin Dong's reaction into account, so this rhetoric was obviously thought out for a long time.
"Head~~~" Lin Dong's voice made Simeone a little stunned, because this was the first time Lin Dong handed Simeone the "head" after joining Atletico Madrid.
"This will be my last season at Atletico Madrid," Lin confessed to Simeone.
Surprised, Simeone was extremely surprised and shocked at the moment, Lin Dong was not surprised to leave Atletico Madrid, this is a matter of time, even Simeone himself knows that it is impossible for him to stay in Atletico Madrid permanently.
What really surprised and shocked Simeone was that Lin Dong actually came to his office in person at this point in time and told him the news in person.
Is this trust? Or is there something to fear? Or is it a threat? After being surprised, Simone stared at Lin Dong, as if he wanted to see something on Lin Dong's face.
'I'm very happy to have made the decision to join Atletico Madrid, I'm happy to be team-mates with Gabriel and Jorge and I'm happy to be able to play under the hood.
"At the same time, I am also very grateful for the trust of the head in these two seasons, if it were not for the trust of the head, maybe I would not have been able to beat Ronaldo and Messi to score" Lin Dong said very sincerely, no matter what each other thinks in their hearts, but the close cooperation between the two seasons is beautiful.
"I've had a pleasure working with you for these two seasons," Simeone said, retracting his gaze and saying in an equally sincere tone.
