Chapter 17 Set-Pieces

"In the sixth minute of the game, Busquets retaliated and pulled Gabi for a foul, such an action is so hateful, the referee should give Butskets a yellow card!" Madrid's media tendencies are very obvious, and he even mentions Atletico's previous series of actions to the media. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Of course, most of the fans who listen to his commentary are also fans of Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona fans naturally will not come to listen to a Madrid commentary to find themselves bored.

Fernando immediately parked his taxi in an alley near the Calderón Stadium, turned on the radio, and just heard it. The reason why he listens to the radio near the stadium instead of buying tickets to go to the stadium is because for him, getting the car lined up at the gate of the stadium in time at the end of the game can be better than his usual business.

The Catalan commentator criticized the referee's decision: "The referee has chosen to ignore a series of wrestler-like moves from Atletico Madrid before, and look at what the match has become now. Maybe this referee was playing American football before. But we're used to it, and when Barcelona arrives in Madrid, she always encounters these things. Let's see what they have turned beautiful football into! ”

The Catalan media have long named Barcelona football style "the most beautiful football in the world", and they will never look down on other "rude" football tactics in the world, let alone Atletico Madrid, which turns a football match into a rugby match. In their eyes, it is even more heinous and unforgivable.

Simeone stood on the sidelines, watching the Atletico players as they were busy setting up set-piece tactics. Their key attacking routine these days is set-pieces.

If you simply look at the lineups of the two sides, even if Messi is on the bench today, Barcelona's starting lineup is strong enough, especially their midfield, the combination of Xavi, Iniesta, and Buzkets is not inferior to any midfield configuration in the world. Such a strong midfield combination is also the cornerstone of Barcelona's possession tactics.

There are almost no players in the Atletico Madrid team who can compete with each other to make a name for themselves.

However, it's not about fame that is everything. Simeone's aim was first and foremost to contain Barcelona's attack, so he used muscle tactics in midfield to disrupt the game and make the game incoherent. In this way, Barcelona's attacking threat is greatly reduced.

But it's just a defensive strategy, and if you want to win, you have to attack. If there is no way to win at home, then the next direct meeting between the two sides will be at Camp Nou. At home to Barcelona, it will be far more difficult to beat each other than this one.

If there is anything that Atletico Madrid can be better than Barcelona in attack, then it is now this opportunity for set-pieces, when the football is flying in the air, and Barcelona, who is good at passing on the ground, known as the Cosmos team, must also be worried.

Sure enough, this time the free kick defense, Barcelona was like a big enemy. Valdés nervously set up his defensive position. Even though Barcelona have stockpiled all the players in the penalty area to participate in the defense, while Atletico have only five players to participate in this contest, Valdés feels Alexandre when he sees the stark contrast in height between the two sides.

Gabi stands in front of the ball and raises his right hand. Seeing this gesture, the Atletico Madrid players involved in the set-piece attack understood that this time they were going to send the ball to the back point to find the top of Li Qingshan's head.

So the other Atletico Madrid players began to get busy in the penalty area, ready to help Li Qingshan open the gap. And Li Qingshan stood in the middle of the road, making a gesture to move forward.

Of course, he will not reveal his purpose at the beginning, although he is very good at grabbing points, but if he is interfered with too much when grabbing points, it is estimated that the success rate of headers is not much higher. Heading a goal may seem simple, but it's actually a difficult technique to do well. The first is to judge the landing point, which is not a problem for Li Qingshan, and the second is to top the right direction, using the head to push the ball is not like using the foot, when jumping up the head of the football, if the position of the top ball is not right, it is a thousand miles away, and the power of the header is not very easy, if the top of the ball does not have enough ball speed, it is easy to be taken away by the goalkeeper. Especially if you complete the aerial duel in a physical confrontation, it will be more difficult to hit the goal.

If there is an easier header to attack the goal, Li Qingshan will naturally not choose hard mode.

Gabi runs up and then takes the set-piece. The ball draws a parabola in the air and flies towards the penalty area. The set-piece was still a bit far from Barcelona's goal, so Gabi opted to kick the ball higher.

After seeing Gabi ball, Li Qingshan, who had always seemed to be aiming at the front point, suddenly turned around and accelerated backwards!

The line of the football was clear in his mind, and he stared at the ball in the air as he cut a straight line into the back of the Barcelona penalty area.

Pique has been observing Li Qingshan's movement, and after Li Qingshan turned, he also quickly accelerated in the direction of the football landing point.

Li Qingshan did not run to the predetermined place and jump on the spot to attack the goal, but jumped forward directly during the run, so that with the help of the power of running and accelerating, he could push out a faster ball speed.

Pique has been chasing Li Qingshan, his height is the same as Li Qingshan, and he is also one hundred and ninety-two centimeters. The body is also quite strong.

But he was facing Li Qingshan!

And Li Qingshan has already jumped in advance. He found that he could not take any advantage in the position, and even if he jumped to the top now, there might not be any way to interfere with Li Qingshan, who was in a favorable position.

In this case, he grabbed the clothes behind Li Qingshan's back.......

After Li Qingshan jumped, he adjusted his posture and was ready to win the ball directly and rush to the top, but in the air, he suddenly felt that his body was crooked, and he saw that the ball was about to fly in front of his eyes.

Li Qingshan's waist and abdomen suddenly exerted force, his neck twisted, and the front was set in the middle of the football!

Pique was already a little desperate, even if he grabbed Li Qingshan's clothes, he was still headed by the opponent.

After Li Qingshan hit the ball, he was dragged to the ground by Pique.

And behind the goal, the fans of Atletico Madrid looked at the football flying in the direction of the goal, already raising their hands in the air, ready to celebrate the goal.

However, they soon moved in unison to hug their heads in regret.

The soccer ball hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced on the grass and was picked up by a terrified Valdés.

Simeone had already rushed out with his fists clenched, but soon his fiery passion was poured cold water. Celebration can only turn into a regret.

At this time, it seemed that something was happening again on the field, and the players of Atletico Madrid were talking about something around the referee.

Li Qingshan pulled his torn jersey and yelled at the referee with a few Spanish words that he only knew: "Foul!" Foul! Penalty kick!! ”

At this time, the TV camera was also aimed at him, and sure enough, the back of Li Qingshan's jersey was torn out of a large piece.
