Chapter 149: The Battle of Calderon (3)
After using his dexterous footwork to get past the desperate Heitinga, Saintie's eyes were already full of ecstasy, mixed with the sound of invective in his ears, but it did not affect Saint-Tiago's killing intent in the slightest, although it was already a long run, he felt that his limbs were full of strength again.
Now in front of him and Atletico Madrid, in addition to the goalkeeper, only central defender Ibañez is left.
I don't know if the first two teammates were tackled, and after the breakthrough, it gave Ibañez too much psychological pressure, and he did not choose to step forward to force the first time, but was more prepared to intercept on the spot.
It has to be said that although Ibáñez's approach has pros and cons, in terms of Villarreal's current attacking lineup, it has done more harm than good.
With Thomason, Harnett, Carney and others pressing at the same time, why is he sure that Saint-Tiago will stupidly choose to continue to take risks to break through?
Pabloy Banes hails from the Spanish town of Albacete, and his popularity is thanks to former Atletico Madrid manager Ferrando. In the 2003-04 season, Ferrando transferred Pablo from Albacete II to the first team and has been a regular since the end of the season, the 1.92m tall centre-back has been well received by the media. With Ferrando at the helm of Atletico Madrid, Pablo also came to Madrid with his mentor, and this transfer also established his status as the main central defender of the Spanish national team in one fell swoop.
Pablo is 1.92 meters tall, has good header skills, is calm on the court, and surprisingly tall, his turning speed is not slow. It was because of these characteristics that the old coach Luis Aragonés selected him for the Spanish national team and replaced the reckless Marchena as the main central defender. The combination of him and Puyol was moving and quiet, fast and slow, and the Spanish defense was much more solid.
In the 2004-05 season when Atletico Madrid first transferred, Pablo formed an iron gate defense with former Boca Juniors Colombian centre-back Andreas Perea, and the pair, who were valued at just €6 million in total, changed Atletico's previously weak defence. Pablo played almost the entire season, scored three goals and made a total of 150 tackles with Perea, who was hailed by the media as "the wall that holds up Atletico".
However, at this moment, the praised central defender was in the heart of Santhiago because of his unfamiliarity with Santtiago, and after a quick glance around, Santiago's eyes flashed with irrepressible joy and immediately made a judgment, and a sudden and large shift in this angle that could even hit the goal did not surprise all Atletico Madrid's defenders.
Another central defender who leaned over and wanted to assist in the defense, Ujfarusi, was even more cold sweat!
The ball flew to the other end of the field under the gaze of the crowd, and was easily unloaded by the tall Carney, who then made it useless to do it with a beautiful ball in the face of Antonio, who rushed up in embarrassment. The ball passed quickly past Antonio's side, and when he turned, Turkey's hottest striker Harnett didn't pause for the ball and fired a straight shot that left Kupe, who wanted to defend the goal again, unable to make a final block.
“goal!!!!!! Harnett! A sharp knife from Turkey opened the scoring for Villarreal, and Haniti showed off his superb marksmanship and keen sense of smell in this important match against Atletico Madrid! Maybe he had already made eye contact with Carney, but it is undeniable that this moment of tacit understanding was not captured by the Atletico Madrid players, Carney's pass broke through the last line of Atletico Madrid's defense, making Harnet, who finally got the ball, extremely comfortable, because there was no second person next to him except for Ujfarusi, who barely came up! ”
"Atletico goalkeeper Kupe was hard to stop with a ferocious blast and Villarreal took the lead on the road!!!"
"This is the real knife! No one can hide his shine!! Harnett! Of course, what we can't forget is the new Yellow Submarine signing who almost single-handedly messed up the Atletico Madrid defense, Argentine midfielder San Thiago! It was his sudden and highly concealed mass shift that broke the last struggle of the Atletico! It's unbelievable! ”
"The yellow submarines, which had been criticized by the media for a single offensive method and relied entirely on defensive counterattacks, suddenly rejuvenated and energetic in these two games because of the arrival of San Tiago! This reminds us of the accolades that Santi has won in Europe! For now, this is definitely a great value for money! ”
The Villarreal fans in the stands were in a frenzy, and Harnett was in great form, only touching the ball once in this attack! And it was this touch of the ball that he broke through the Atletico goal, which was also outstanding in defense! The absolute killer who can lead the Turkish Super League scorer list is really worthy of his name!
Seeing Villarreal score first, the angry Atletico Madrid coach Aguirre smashed the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground, he was not angry at all by Villarreal's goal, because although Aguirre confidently believed that Atletico Madrid would not lose this game, he was not naïve enough to keep Villarreal clean! Aguirre was annoyed that in Villarreal's attack, the disciples on the field were completely caught by the nose and turned around.
Whether it is defending or being cut off, he is extremely tacit with Villarreal, and the smooth team cooperation is played between applause, and there is no power to fight back, which he absolutely cannot accept!
If Villarreal is allowed to play a similar combination in attack after conceding this goal, will the ambitious Atletico Madrid continue to play!?
It's better to admit defeat as soon as possible!
Aguirre's eyes were full of anger!
"The yellow submarine, in the town where I was born, lived an old captain, who often told us about the past of his life, and in the kingdom of the submarine, so we set sail day by day."
Santiago, who unlocked the assist achievement at the Calderón Stadium, welcomed the cheers and singing of the Villarreal fans, and they scored a very important goal again on the road to the championship, and the excited Villarreal fans put their emotions into the increasingly high singing, compared to the Atletico Madrid players who could only watch everything speechless, because in this Villarreal's attack they were beaten without a defense, which can be said to be a complete defeat.
And when the game resumes, although Atletico will want to regroup, how can it be so easy to regain the spirit that has been defeated? In the good times after the victory, Villarreal's players will not give them more opportunities, so every attack with the ball is precious, but before Villarreal's iron wall has already been laid, Atletico Madrid's players can only return in vain, even the always invincible Aguero.
Aguero, who was full of fighting spirit, showed extraordinary fighting power in the first two attacks with the ball, which caused great trouble to Villarreal's defenders, but after Harnett scored the first goal, Aguero's mentality was a little unbalanced. The more he wanted to break through, the more he wanted to score, the more he couldn't do what he wanted, so the impatient Aguero began several hopeless breakthroughs.
However, his flashy moves at the moment could not help him to put on another amazing performance, but was repeatedly intercepted and tackled by Villarreal players, drawing a wave of boos and taunts from the visiting fans in the stands. In such a situation, Aguero is even more anxious, how can this be? He will not tolerate being beaten by the little-known Harnett in La Liga, and his opponent among his peers is only Messi!
But nothing in front of us indicates that the game is moving towards the most desperate side.
"Oh, we saw that after Villarreal took the lead, Atletico Madrid's players were stopped many times in the attack, instead of seizing this opportunity to complete the counterattack and rewrite the score, which is not a good sign!"
"That's right, that's exactly what happened on the field! The impatience of the Atletico players is obvious, even Sergio Aguero, who has been in the hottest form of the time! I have to say that Villarreal's smooth attack is very oppressive, and every time Atletico Madrid launches an attack, the players actually have it in their hearts. The difference was too far, the fluidity of the attack between the two sides was too far, which also forced Atletico to put more pressure on them when they were behind. ”
"No one could have imagined that they would be overwhelmed by Villarreal at Atletico Madrid's home stadium, even though they had a very nice attack at the beginning of the game! And this is precisely the most amazing and unbelievable point, looking at the situation at the beginning, Atletico Madrid once fiercely suppressed the yellow submarine from afar! But as time went on, the Sheets Corps unknowingly lost their advantage! ”
"Looking back and looking back at the situation just now, it is not difficult to see that it was the manager Manuel Pellegrini who helped the yellow submarine Villarreal to do all this in this winter transfer window, and it was Santo Thiago that was brought in against the crowd!"
"Sergio Aguero tried to break through again, but unfortunately this time he still came back in vain, and I think that at this time Atletico Madrid's manager Mr. Aguirre should think about what to do in the second half! It is clear that the two-striker tactic he used in this game, consisting of Sergio Aguero and Forlan, has lost its due diligence and has done nothing good against Villarreal, so it is better to make a change sooner rather than sink and perhaps save the team in the second half! ”
Just as the two commentators were discussing word by word, the situation on the field changed again, and in the 37th minute, Assun sauna ball, which was a heroic steal from Garcia, for which Garcia even almost ate the Topaz God of War card again and went off the field. But Garcia had a bit of regret after the game, because if he hadn't made the tackle, maybe Villarreal wouldn't have conceded a second goal.
At least not so fast!
At this time, Asun didn't think much about the ball after taking the ball and gave it to Aguero, and there is no doubt that Aguero is now the real heart for Atletico. It was his 20 league goals last season that helped the Sheets return to the Champions League after 12 years, and this summer Aguero helped Argentina win the Olympic gold medal in a row, and in the first game after returning to the team, he scored a goal in the Champions League qualifying match to make Atletico Madrid beat Schalke 4-0 to enter the group stage.
Therefore, in Assunsan's view, Aguero's first few interceptions are nothing, and in such a situation where the team as a whole is behind, it is undoubtedly a very good opportunity to recover the score with a single-point breakthrough to drive the overall outbreak.
But this time Aguero was disappointing, receiving the pass Aguero was already like countless ants tearing his heart at the moment, and he couldn't calm down at all, and at the moment he got the ball, he turned around and used his left foot to complete a very beautiful and gorgeous Marseille sleum, leaving the defender who wanted to break the ball behind. However, when he turned around and didn't adjust his body to complete the acceleration, Senna appeared in front of him and successfully steals the ball!
Seeing this, some of the Atletico Madrid players sighed at the same time, but they didn't have time to blame Aguero, because in the next second, Senna's big foot drove everyone up.
"It was a great opportunity, the veteran Senna seized the moment that Aguero revealed to cut the ball off, and took advantage of Aguero's attempt to counter-attack the ball with a big foot! This time Atletico is dangerous! ”
The kick wasn't very strong, but it flew far enough to penetrate Atletico's weak midfield defence, and Santhiago unloaded the ball with his chest! What kind of performance will the yellow submarine's midfield dispatcher perform? ”
"He chose to dribble forward on his own, but maybe it wasn't a good choice, with Garcia chasing back behind him and Heitinga interception in front of him!"
In the Eredivisie, the youngster, born in 1983, is already referred to as the new Koeman of the Netherlands.
As a defender, Heitinga is characterized by fierce defense, excellent jumping, and a certain ability to assist, but his disadvantage is that he is not calm enough in the game and slightly frizzy, as the most outstanding newcomer of the Dutch team in recent years, Heitinga solves the problem of metabolism in the backline for Basten, and the small Ajax defender can play as a central defender and full-back, not fast but responsive!!!!
