Chapter 585: Top Heavy

Calderón Stadium, Atletico Madrid's first home game of the season, in the second round of La Liga, against Rayo Vallecano, a low-profile version of the Madrid derby.

The stadium with a capacity of 54,000 people was already crowded with Atletico fans at the start of the game, and even the thousands of Rayo Vallecano players would not have been able to get in if it weren't for the rules.

In terms of line-up, Simeone made two changes, Suarez was replaced by Thiago and formed the middle of Atletico with Gabi, while Koke at right midfield was brought on by Raul Garcia.

The change in midfield was still very noticeable, with Thiago's introduction freeing up Turan to some extent, allowing the Turk to perform more ball-based breakaways.

Turan's breakthrough is not known for his speed, his breakthrough is full of personal characteristics, full of specificity, with delicate technique, with excellent rhythm with the ball.

Two minutes later, Turan used his skills to trick Rayo Vallecano's players, making a stop, changing direction, feintging, and then changing direction, and Turan made two breakthroughs in the same way, sending a cross to Costa in the box.

Unfortunately, Costa's pass from Turan was not converted into a goal, and although Costa touched the ball, his shot was deflected off the back of goal by a defender.

Atletico played very actively, and this game was not only in their home stadium Calderon, but also because the opponent was Rayo Vallecano, which was not strong.

As for the so-called Madrid derby, few people will mention it at all, in La Liga, in Europe, the Madrid derby has always been between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Facts also proved that there was not much suspense in this game, in the first ten minutes, Atletico Madrid dominated the absolute advantage, launching a total of four waves of attacks, Rayo Vallecano only had one attack on goal, and the shot did not hit the goal.

When Atletico Madrid completed the fifth goal of this competition, Atletico Madrid got a goal as they wished, or a header, still from Lin Dong.

Thiago sent in a long ball from the back and Lin headed it to Raul Garcia, who was blocked by a Rayo Vallecano defender on the side of the box and could only pass the ball into the box.

"GOOOOOOOO~~~1:0~~~ In the twelfth minute of the opening game, although it was ten minutes later than the previous game, Atletico still opened the scoring and took the lead."

"Header ~~~ Fish leap to the top ~~~ Lin Dong ~~~ At present, the four goals are all smashed in with their heads, so that the amazing header ability makes people desperate to hit the goal."

Lightheaded, this is how Lin Dong feels, and even the teammates around him actually believe in Lin Dong's head rather than his feet.

Even if teammates know that Lin Dong's feet are also very good, the long-term impression will always make teammates subconsciously choose to pass Lin Dong in the air instead of his feet when passing the ball.

From the moment he actually entered Europe, Lin Dong's first impression was a header, and when he was in Lazio, Lin Dong's first game was a gravity-defying header.

After coming to Real Madrid, this impression became more and more profound, and in Mourinho's tactics, Lin Dong's most important role in the front line is to prop up Real Madrid's front court and become a fulcrum in the front court.

There is no doubt that Lin Dong has done very successfully, according to the statistics of the media, Lin Dong is sitting at the fulcrum, competing for the top, and the success rate of the header is so high that it is desperate, which can be called dominant, more than 90%.

Not to mention that Lin Dong has one more skill this season, bomber: the success rate of headers in the penalty area has increased by 10%.

It is no exaggeration to say that in today's football, no one can be as good as Lin Dong in terms of heading, and the bonus that his body brings to Lin Dong is too perverted.

The one-goal lead was just the beginning, and five minutes after Lin Dong's goal, Atletico extended their lead by two goals, this time by Raul Garcia.

Well, it's also a header, Raul Garcia's physical fitness is not to say, in Atletico Madrid's current lineup, Raul Garcia should be the only one who is more than Lin Dong, Costa and Godin are a little worse than Raul Garcia.

A corner, Gabi cut in front of the middle with a long-range shot, hit the opponent, changed the line and hit the post and bounced back, which was cleared by the Rayo Vallecano defender.

Or Gabi, the latter took a corner, and under the cover of Lin Dong, Costa and Godin, Raul Garcia jumped up and flicked the header to score the second goal of the game.

Two minutes later, Costa was not to be outdone, Atletico Madrid's game was completely on the header, and Costa's goal was also a header, with an assist from Turan.

Turan again broke down the flank and crossed the ball to the back of the box for the third time in the box when he flicked a shot that caught the attention of the defenders and flew to the back post of Costa, who headed home Rayo Vallecano for the third time.

Another 3:0 lead, the difference between Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla began to show, Sevilla 3:0 still has the ability to fight back, and also wants to fight back, but Rayo Vallecano does not have the strength.

After Atletico Madrid took a 3-0 lead, Rayo Vallecano's morale was low, and the manager had to choose to retreat, while Atletico also slowed down the pace of attack, and the score of 3-0 remained until the end of halftime.

However, the second half was obviously an ordeal for Rayo Vallecano, and even if Atletico slowed down the tempo, in the second half, Atletico still scored three goals.

Rayo Vallecano is also uncompetitive, and there are frequent holes in the defense, and if Atletico Madrid does not grasp it in this case, it will really be struck by lightning.

In the second half, it was Lin Dong who scored first, well, it was another header, a hanging pass from Thiago, and Lin Dong in the penalty area was unguarded.

A very calm header, Lin Dong chose an absolute dead corner, and the Rayo Vallecano goalkeeper could not help even if he flew to save, so he could only watch the ball fly past and into the goal.

Five headers in a game, after Lin Dong completed the fourth header, Thiago's header, Thiago was undoubtedly lucky, scoring in the first game.

It was Tulan's cross from the wing, Lin Dong and Costa pulled on both sides to attract the attention of defenders, and Thiago broke into the penalty area at high speed to break the goal, and the score was rewritten to 5:0.

The last goal was scored by Turan who gave two assists, and this goal also broke Atletico's full-time header form, Lin Dong knocked back in the penalty area, and Turan shot the line of the penalty area.

When the score became 6:0 on the field, the game time had just reached 70 minutes, well, Atletico Madrid's attack power was strong, not to mention being in the opponent's opponent, even Atletico themselves were a little incredible.

Substitutions, successive substitutions, Lin Dong, Costa and Turan were substituted, Leao, Adria López and Rodriguez came on

With the departure of the trio, the score did not change in the end, and although the substitute trio resembled goals, Rayo Vallecano also made adjustments.
