The scoreboard showed the home team leading 2-0, and the home fans of Girona erupted in strong cheers, with the home team's red flag and team emblem becoming the protagonists of the stadium.

If you know what the promoted team has experienced in previous seasons, you can understand the dreamlike feeling in the hearts of the home fans at this moment. Since 2013, Girona have been able to occupy the top two direct promotion places in La Liga for most of each season, but have always been pushed out of the promotion zone by their opponents at the last minute to play in the promotion play-offs for four consecutive seasons. And in the promotion play-offs, it was tragically defeated four times. Among them, in the 2014-15 season, he returned to his home stadium with a 3-0 lead away and was reversed by Zaragoza by four goals. After four years of ups and downs, they finally finished runners-up in La Liga last season, successfully reaching La Liga for the first time in their history.

The story of this small team's repeated defeats is inspirational enough, but I'm afraid their own fans, and even the players on the field, dare not think about it, in the first game of La Liga in team history, in less than half an hour, the score became 2:0, and they were the ones who were in the lead!

This can no longer be described as inspirational. It's an out-and-out dwarf and poor silk counterattack.

Of course, the jubilation on one side of the football match is based on the pain of the opponent, and on the other side of the camera, Atletico's defensive superstar and Simeone are full of chagrin.

Garcia, the Spanish national television commentator, looked at the camera and turned his back to scratch his ears and cheeks, and couldn't help but warn: "Diego Simeone must end this meaningless negative emotion immediately, and now is the time for him to make a change." Otherwise, Girona will extend their lead to three goals, and it will be difficult to change the result even if God himself comes on the field. ”

CCTV's He Wei's view is even clearer: "Atletico Madrid is surprisingly in an extreme predicament. What else does Simone have to think about at this time? Strengthening the offensive is the only way out. Correa, Bietto and Wen Zhihao were all good options on the bench. Of course, I believe that the audience and friends are the same as me, and I hope that Wen Zhihao can get a chance. ”

Xu Yang added analysis from a tactical point of view: "Wen Zhihao's characteristics are indeed more suitable than Correa and Vietto, he has a large range of activities in the front court, and can shoot suddenly, which can free Torres and Griezmann. For Simeone, it's not a question of whether he's willing to take a risk, it's a question of whether he won't change whether Atletico will collapse. ”

Wen Zhihao looked at the situation on the field, while talking to Gamme about the situation on the field, and at the same time his body unconsciously tensed up for two points. Not only is he nervous for the team, but he also knows very well that in such a situation, he has every possibility of playing. One must always be ready to wait for Simeone's call.

Seeing that the opponent continued to attack with the momentum of taking advantage of the victory, Wen Zhihao slowly couldn't sit still, and began to stand in front of the bench and stomp his feet to keep his body hot.

Boggs whispered to Simeone, "Diego, do you want to let Wen try it?" We're going to try to get a goal back in the first half and it's been half an hour now. ”

Simeone made a downward movement with one hand, signaling his assistant to stabilize his emotions, apparently he was not planning to change at this time. He still expects Antoine Griezmann, who has repeatedly erupted at key moments, to find his groove as soon as possible, and this set of starters was also his handy main line-up last season, and he doesn't want to deny himself so quickly.

The Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game looked at this score, but they were happy in their hearts, and kept shouting: Shang Zhihao! Hurry up and get on Zhihao!

Father Wen saw his son warming up in front of the bench, and thought that Wen Zhihao was going to go several times, but after a while, he saw his son sitting back on the bench, and he couldn't help scolding: "Damn!" Is your brain caught in the door? It's not my son yet, waiting for a tragedy! ”

After saying that, Dad Wen lit a cigarette, not knowing whether to refresh his mind or relieve the anxiety of waiting in his heart.

Girona's home stadium can only accommodate more than 10,000 fans, but such a small stadium can reflect the cheering of the fans without discount. In football, the score and momentum often complement each other, and Atletico Madrid are behind the score and completely overshadowed by the home team. No matter how exaggerated Simeone's gestures and expressions on the sidelines are, it will not help, unless there is a change in the score in Atletico's favor.

Many commentators will ideally make the lagging side forget the result and start from scratch in the game. It's simply impossible for a true professional player to do it on the pitch. Professional football and even competitive sports are a game of winners and losers. As long as they can win, the players and coaches will receive overwhelming praise, and even the iron bucket will be considered the new trend in world football. And the losing side, even if they play as flashy as samba football in the past, will only be perceived as the coach's tactics or the way the players play the ball.

Straight to the point. In the first half, Girona was both unexpected and reasonable, outperforming Atletico in all statistics, with 9:3 shots on goal and 52% to 48% possession. Looking at the data alone, it seems that there is an illusion that Atletico Madrid is a newly promoted polo team.

In the half-time lounge, Simeone did not get angry with the players, and was still arranging tactics with anger, but at the end of the cheer to everyone, he repeatedly emphasized to everyone: "Our goal is the championship!" Champion! Go and take back the dignity you left on the field! ”

In front of everyone, Simeone forcibly pinched a mineral water bottle full of water, and everyone's hearts tightened together, and it seemed that the head was really angry.

Atletico Madrid's players were eager to make a difference, and they attacked the opposition defence fiercely at the start of the second half. However, speed is not enough, not only the defenders on the court must maintain a stable mentality, but the strikers who are too anxious may also fight back against the team.

Just ten minutes into the second half, Griezmann received a long pass from midfielder Gabi into the penalty area, and while the opposing goalkeeper attacked, Griezmann suddenly collided and fell to the ground. There was a burst of boos at the scene, and the Atletico players raised their hands to signal that the opposing goalkeeper had fouled.

The referee ran into the penalty area, reached in his pocket and pulled out a yellow card, but it was not to show the Girona goalkeeper, but to Griezmann!

Fake fall!

What's worse is that in the first half, Griezmann was burdened with a yellow card, that is to say, waiting for him will be two yellows and one red, and he will be sent off!

With two goals behind and one man less, it was the attacking core that was sent off, which undoubtedly made matters worse for Atletico, who were really weakened on this night.

This is God's punishment. Diego Simeone wasted the opportunity to make a timely adjustment, and now the situation in front of him is even more difficult to solve. Atletico need to score now, but it was Griezmann who was sent off, what a disaster! ”

He Wei said from the perspective of Wen Zhihao: "Now that Simeone can't make adjustments, will Wen Zhihao have a chance?" Judging from the previous pre-season warm-up, he is Griezmann's first choice as a substitute. ”

With the camera on the sidelines, Boggs walked around the bench, then Wen Zhihao, Vietto, Correa and Gameiro all stood up at the same time to warm up, and Simeone showed a clear signal to attack.
