Chapter 859: Sitting at the top of the group

Twenty minutes later, Atletico Madrid began to consciously slow down their attacking tempo and also tried to lure Malmo into attacking.

Malmo's players are not stupid, besides, even if the Malmo players are stupid, there is a manager on the sidelines, so in the next ten minutes, Malmo was not fooled, that is, Malmo did not attack.

While the media is generally favourable to Atletico Madrid and Juventus, that doesn't mean Malmo don't have chances, especially after the win over Olympiacos in the previous round.

Let's ask who doesn't want to be a dark horse, Atletico Madrid was dark last season, and Malmo didn't expect this kind of situation, but they can imagine that the next group will appear, and there are many examples of giants losing in the Champions League.

Besides, for a team like Malmo in a non-mainstream league, the Champions League is more money for them, and every step forward in the Champions League will have a huge increase in income.

Malmo's tactics are fine, but don't forget that most of the players in the Malmo team are young players, and the young players who have no ambition and go on the path of professional football do not want to move to the giants.

Coupled with Atletico Madrid's patience, perhaps Malmo will be cautious at first, thinking that Atletico Madrid is deliberately recruiting, but once it takes a long time, the players will unconsciously get used to it.

In the 38th minute, Malmo almost all of them plugged in, and the morale was like a rainbow, although the final shot did not score, but it also scared Atletico Madrid.

Two minutes later, Malmo made a comeback, Adu crossed diagonally, Rosenberg crossed from the side of the penalty area, and Trin drove Godin to shoot near the penalty spot, Moya made a save, but could not touch the ball.

Thankfully, the ball bounced off the post and Miranda reacted quickly to the ball and cleared it for Malmo to win a corner.

The succession of attacks gave Malmo a great deal of confidence, and from the ensuing corner, Malmo again had the back of the net, Johansen scrambled for the first spot, and finished with a header.

Atletico counter-attacked, but Atletico's counter-attack failed to complete the shot, Griezmann wanted to break through with the ball after receiving a pass, but was cut off by the retreating Adu.

Switching between attack and defence, Malmo quickly scored into the Atletico half, Halsti carried the ball forward, made a one-two with Eriksen, and led the ball to the outside of the penalty area.

Straight stop, Trin in the box has been activated, Godin reacted quickly, but still a step slow, but Trin finally failed to complete the shot, Miranda, another Atletico Madrid central defender has felt it, and fell to the ground to sweep to complete the clearance.

The attack and defense switched again, and this time it was Atletico Madrid's counterattack, and Miranda's swept ball came to the feet of Juanfrán, who did not hesitate in the slightest and sent it straight forward.

"Oh oh oh~~~ counterattack~~~ Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack, Lin ~~~ Lin ~~~ He rushed over ~~~ The Malmo defender failed to stop Lin ~~~ single knife ~~~ Atletico Madrid's single knife."

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~ The ball was scored~~~ The ball was scored~~~ In the forty-third minute of the game, Atletico Madrid finally broke the deadlock."

"Counterattack~~~ Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack, Malmo still failed to reach Atletico Madrid~~~No~~~ Or Malmo was finally fooled."

Fooled? It's a fitting word, when Juanfran sends a long ball, when Lin Dong rushes up, the whole world knows that Malmo are going to concede a goal.

"The most commonly used way to shoot when Lin Dong shoots singlely" prefers to shoot hard rather than pushing, because the ball speed is faster and it is more difficult for the goalkeeper to react.

"1:0~~~~ After taking the lead at Atletico Madrid~~~ Malmo will be extremely difficult in the rest of the game."

It was tough indeed, as Atletico almost extended their lead in stoppage time when Antoine Griezmann's shot was headed in by Lin Dong.

"In the second half, we waited for the opponent to attack" Back in the dressing room, Simeone decided Atletico's tactics in the second half and also decided the outcome of this game for Malmo.

In the third minute of the second half, Atletico again relied on a counter-attack to score a goal, and Atletico's first wave of attack ended in a high attack, and then Malmo attacked with the ball.

However, Malmo were never able to break into the Atletico penalty area, and in the end the ball was cut off by Suarez on the edge of the penalty area, and Atletico took advantage of the situation to play a counter-attack.

Lin Dong made the ball for Griezmann again, Saul picked up Lin Dong, Lin Dong rubbed the header back, Griezmann took the ball and faked to shake off the defender and rushed into the penalty area to complete the goal.

However, the goal was only a prelude to Atletico's second-half goal, and five minutes later, Atletico scored their third goal of the game from midfielder Koke.

Lin Dong and Antoine Griezmann both rushed into the box to contain the Malmo defence, and the Atletico midfielder played a wonderful combination, and after a multi-foot pass, Koke rushed into the Malmo box to complete the shot, and the ball went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal.

The fourth goal occurred in the 65th minute, it was Lin Dong, this time it was a header, in the face of the tall defender, Lin Dong liked to smash it with a header, and Lin Dong finally got his wish and smashed the ball into the opponent's goal.

However, after this goal, Malmo's two central defenders were somewhat irritated by Lin Dong, so three minutes later, that is, after Lin Dong was tackled by the opponent, Simeone made the first substitution decision of the game.

Mandzukic came on and replaced Lin Dong, and the score of 4:0 had already ensured that Atletico Madrid won the game, so there was no need to let Lin Dong take any more risks, after all, Atletico Madrid could not afford the price of Lin Dong's injury.

But Simeone will never think of you, the score of 4:0 is not the final score of Atletico Madrid in this game, 5:0 is the score at the end of the game.

Coming off the bench Mandzukic, the Croatian striker was quite active after his debut, Mandzukic knew very well who his rivals in the team were, so he scored a goal in Griezmann, and Mandzukic worked hard as a substitute.

Mandzukic's efforts paid off in the 85th minute, when he created a corner with a header and then scored from that corner.

Koke kicked the ball straight into the Malmo penalty area, and Mandzukic and Johnson battled for the head, although Mandzukic was not as tall as Johnson.

However, in terms of judging the landing point of the ball, and in terms of strength, Mandzukic brawl is better than Johnson, so this header can be predicted.

With this victory, Atletico Madrid are firmly in the top spot of Group A, because in the other game, Juventus broke out a big upset, and they actually lost to Olympiacos.

Juventus' defeat also made the battle for second place in Group A extremely intense, as all three teams except Atletico Madrid all had the same three points.
