Chapter 642: The Individual and the Whole

"Evenly matched~~~ Athletic Bilbao is in good shape in this game, and they are not inferior in the face of Atletico Madrid" The first half of the game has unconsciously come to thirty minutes later.

In the past 30 minutes, Athletic Bilbao has played quite a lot of assists, not only in attack and on par with Atletico, but also in defense.

In particular, the youngster Laporte, who used his body to block Lin Dong and Costa's shots twice, can be called the biggest contributor to Athletic Bilbao's first 30 points without conceding goals.

Of course, Atletico were not bad, and although there were some problems with the form of Miranda and Godin in this game, Courtois kept out Demarcos with a world-class save from close range.

On the sidelines, Simeone frowned, Athletic Bilbao is in a really good state, but Atletico Madrid itself does have a little problem, it should be said that Atletico Madrid's previous state was so good that now the state has fallen back and Simeone feels bad.

This is not only a problem for Atletico Madrid's players, but also Simeone's own problem, as the players fall back to adjust their form, Simeone himself has to adjust his mentality.

After all, Atletico Madrid is not Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the individual ability of Atletico Madrid players is still much worse than that of Real Madrid and Barcelona players, this is a fact.

Of course, Lin Dong is definitely not in this ranks, if you really have to turn your personal ability, Lin Dong is no worse than Real Madrid's superstar, and even in the face of Ronaldo and Messi, Lin Dong will not fall behind.

This was on full display in the Madrid derby, where Atletico were at a disadvantage, but in the end Atletico took a big win from the Bernabeu with Lin Dong's excellent performance.

Simeone has never wanted Lin Dong to be above the team, or no coach would want one player to be above the whole team.

But with Atletico's current situation, Simeone must realize that Lin Dong is indeed above the whole team, and Atletico Madrid must rely on Lin Dong if they want to succeed.

At the moment, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao are evenly matched on the field, but relatively speaking, Atletico still has an advantage, because Atletico Madrid has forest movements.

In the 38th minute of the game, Lin Dong told Simeone with facts and told everyone why he can become Atletico Madrid's advantage and override the team.

Koke crossed from the side, outside the Atletico Madrid penalty area, Lin Dong stopped with his left foot, leaned back, and at the same time the ball turned to his right foot, and his toes were picked up, and the ball rose into the air, passing over Lin Dong's head and Laporte's header behind him.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~ The ball went in~~~The ball went in~~~ The ball went in~~ It was Atletico Madrid that broke the deadlock."

"Volley~~~Lin~~~ Koke crossed, pulled out of the penalty area Lin with his back to pick Laporte on his toes, and forced a turn to squeeze the outstanding central defender away, and broke the deadlock on the field with a volley."

"Lin Dong ~~~ Lin Dong ~~~ is Lin Dong again, the twenty-fifth goal of the season, twenty-five goals in twelve games, Lin Dong is constantly refreshing the goal record in La Liga."

On the sidelines, Simeone's eyes flashed with a hint of struggle, but soon, the struggle disappeared, and like everyone else on the bench, Simeone could cheer for Lin Dong's goal.

On the other side, Athletic Bilbao coach Valverde flashed a trace of envy in his eyes, because there was no Lin Dong on the front line of Athletic Bilbao.

Following Llorente's departure to the Apennines, Athletic Bilbao now relies on the almost 33-year-old Aduris up front.

After taking the lead, Atletico's morale began to slowly rise, and as the morale improved, the performance of Atletico Madrid players became better and better, and Lin Dong's goal can be said to have fundamentally changed the situation of Atletico Madrid.

In the rest of the first half, Atletico Madrid had a lot of momentum, pressing Athletic Bilbao to play,

After the restart, Athletic Bilbao was intercepted by Atletico just after half-time, Thiago tangled Rico, and Koke sliced the ball straight away.

Atletico Madrid counterattacked, Adrian López passed directly to Lin Dong, Lin Dong took two steps and then passed back to Adrian López, who crossed from the left side of the penalty area, Costa had already rushed into the penalty area, and the header was slightly off.

In the 42nd minute, Atletico Madrid broke the ball again, Godin cut off the ball at the feet of Aduris, Gabi immediately passed long after getting the ball, Lin Dong leaned on Laporte's chest to stop the ball and made a one-two with Koke.

"Danger ~~~ Lin ~~~ No~~~ The ball was broken, Valenziaga" When Lin Dong crossed Laporte, the Athletic Bilbao left-back actually came out of the diagonal and shoveled the ball directly under Lin Dong's feet and shoveled it out of the sideline.

Throw-in, Juanfran throws the throw-in and makes a wall collision with Cork, Juanfran throws the ball to Cork, and Cork immediately passes the ball back to Juanfran Juan.

Cross, Juanfran decisively crossed the ball, in the penalty area, it was Atletico Madrid who scored, and the dazzling black hair.

"Header ~~~ almost ~~~ Lin is too interested in angle, too much pursuit of perfection" The ball hit the top of the left post and bounced back, just at the feet of the Athletic Bilbao defender.

Pursuing too much angle is Lin Dong's advantage and disadvantage, the perfect angle is difficult for the goalkeeper to save, but Lin Dong also has a lot of times to push the ball to the goalpost or crossbar because of too much pursuit of angle.

Perfectionists with obsessive-compulsive disorder, not only the media, but even fans have always thought so, but Lin Dong knows that he is not a perfectionist in ordinary life, as for obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is a little bit of a person.

Atletico's attack didn't end there, and in the final moments of stoppage time, Atletico once again attacked the heart of Athletic Bilbao.

This time it was a shot from Koke, a long-range shot, and Atletico Madrid's long-range shot was actually quite good, and Koke, Gabi and Turan actually had a good long-range shot.

Lin Dong and Costa both rushed into the penalty area to create conditions for Coke to shoot from a distance, but Coke's long-range shot was obviously a little sorry for Lin Dong and Costa's involvement, and he kicked the ball.

"Eh~~~ You should pass the ball to me in the future," Lin Dong couldn't help but complain to Cork's side.

"Cut~~~ Then what did you say when you hit the doorpost just now?" Cork retorted without showing weakness.

"At least I'm within the range of the door frame," Lin Dong immediately replied.

"What's the difference?" The first half ended in the two fighting each other, and it was precisely because they saw the referee put the whistle to their mouths that the two were so unscrupulous.

When Athletic Bilbao kicked the goal, the whistle blew and the first half of the game officially ended.
