Chapter 122: The First Half
At the beginning of the game, the two teams did not start to probe, in the 3rd minute Atletico Madrid's cross from the left, Courtois calmly attacked to get the ball, in the 5th minute of the game, Chelsea began to counterattack, Hazard broke through with the ball, and then quickly distributed the ball to Jones, Jones quickly shook the ball past two defenders, and fired a low shot in the penalty area, the angle was too tricky, and it hit the side netting and missed.
Subsequently, Hazard and Jones were in the Atletico penalty area, and after several consecutive breakthroughs, their low shots and pushes were all wide of the goal.
In the 8th minute of the game, Hazard scored a beautiful ball behind his back, Jones got the ball and pushed it in the penalty area, which was slightly wide of the goal again, and in the 13th minute, after Hazard deftly got rid of the defense outside the penalty area, a powerful long-range shot hit the post and popped up.
Jones and Eden Hazard had five shots in the first 13 minutes, three on target and one on the post, and in the 20th minute, Correa created a free-kick opportunity on the right, Griezmann's cross went off the line, and in the 25th minute, Chelsea's precise cross from David Luiz was saved by the Atletico goalkeeper.
It wasn't until the 25th minute that the first goal between the two teams arrived, and it was Chelsea who took the lead, and in this shot, Jones opened the Atletico goal with a stunning kick, which was the first Champions League game at Atletico's new stadium, and it was Chelsea's Jones who scored the first goal.
"Now the score is 0-1, in the 25th minute of the game Chelsea led Atletico Madrid by one goal, just in the 25th minute of the game, Jones used a world wave to complete his fourth goal in the Champions League, two Champions League games have scored four goals, the game is not over yet, it is entirely possible to continue to score, now who can stop Jones' rise."
'And throughout the first half, Jones had a number of outstanding performances in addition to scoring that goal, and he and Eden Hazard took turns putting on great individual performances.
In comparison, Griezmann's performance can only be said to be too inferior, holding the title of France's number one rising star, but not many outstanding performances, missing many opportunities.
This is also for a reason, before the start of this game, Griezmann had expressed that he was unhappy with Jones, the little guy in England, who was in the limelight above him recently, claiming that this game should let Jones know how good he was, so Griezmann began to be anxious and couldn't get into the state under the indiscriminate bombardment of Chelsea's opening.
In the first half of the game, he tried many times to get past the Chelsea defenders in front of him, but failed, Jones knew that Griezmann, who debuted as a winger, has good speed, and his biggest characteristic is dexterity, excellent dribbling, good passing, he sometimes has a single-handed performance, long-range shots, barbs are also his way of scoring, good awareness and good running are important factors for him to play beautiful statistics.
This is Jones's information about Griezmann playing live games, because Jones uses fewer Atletico Madrid players, and watches Atletico Madrid's games less, Jones's impression of grid ability is good, 16 is the year when Griezmann began to become popular, and the only Atletico role used in Jones's game is Griezmann.
Jones still deliberately checked the grid and Sanchez, Aguero, Suarez, Neymar, Muller, Benzema and Lewandowski The ability value data of players found that possession and dribbling have no advantage at all.
The passing is one of the best, with a shot of 86 just above Sanchez's height of 83,175, which makes his header ability value inferior to that of several top centre-forwards, and the grid is on the same level as Neymar, second only to Neymar and Sergio Aguero in speed, and the explosiveness value is in the middle.
Every time he got a pass from a team-mate, he cut inside with the ball and then volleyed straight away, but he wasn't lucky enough to make it.
After Jones' goal, a sliding rail celebration on the sidelines caused the few Chelsea fans in the stadium to cheer en masse, almost stifling the boos of the home fans, and the game continued in the 27th minute, when Eden Hazard's long-range shot from outside the box was saved by Oblak.
In the 40th minute, Atletico Madrid took a corner kick from the left, Luis in the box was nervous, dragged Lucas down, and Atletico Madrid got a penalty opportunity.
At the San Siro Stadium, Antoine Griezmann missed a penalty in the Champions League final against Real Madrid, and a year later, the French striker broke the penalty penalty demon in the Champions League semi-final, but failed to help Atletico Madrid achieve a breakthrough and had to accept the fate of losing to Real Madrid for four consecutive seasons.
Torres' breakthrough in the box won Atletico Madrid, but the Sheets' penalty record this season is very bad, this season Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Atletico Madrid won 8 penalties, but missed 6 of them, Griezmann, Torres, Gabi, Carrasco, Thomas Partey have all missed penalties, Atletico even have 2 minutes in a row to concede 2 goals.
In all competitions, Atletico have scored just five of their 13 penalty takes, hitting just 38.5 per cent of the penalties, and in last season's Champions League final, Antoine Griezmann was also given the opportunity to take the spot-kick, but against Keylor Navas, the French striker kicked the ball over the crossbar and missed the chance to put Atletico ahead again.
This time Griezmann was still in the position of points, he regained his spirit, his attention was all at his feet, this time Griezmann did not miss a penalty, Courtois guessed the wrong direction, he pushed and hit, Atletico Madrid 1-1 at home to return a goal.
Atletico kicked off quickly in celebration and the final five minutes of the first half were in full swing, with Luiz volleying wide of the box and Koke saving a long-range shot from Courtois in stoppage time.
At halftime, Kodic affirmed the performance of Jones, Hazard and the whole team in the first half, saying that he continued to play like this in the second half: "In the second half, Hazard should be more active, after all, for Jones, Atletico Madrid will definitely be more strict against Jones!" ”
On Atletico's side, manager Diego Simonio criticised the performance at the back in the first half, telling Antoine Griezmann not to go it alone in the first half and to focus on the big picture.
………………
"The second half continued, in the first half Chelsea's Jones took the lead and scored a goal, Griezmann equalized on penalties in the 42nd minute, the game continued Jones with the ball, Jones's position in this game is not the left winger position he often plays, usually he will not pass the ball with the ball, not because Jones has a unique style of ball, but as long as he has a chance to shoot, it is possible to score, and now that there is a chance to shoot, he will pass directly to Hazard, it seems that Atletico Madrid is now important to keep an eye on Jones, Jones does not want to be tough."
