After taking the lead, Atletico played without hurry. Wen Zhihao also guided his teammates to run more by passing the ball quickly on the spot. Although Basel's midfielders were asked to keep an eye on Wen Zhihao, they couldn't imagine that Wen Zhihao suddenly turned into a kick and didn't stop the ball at their feet at all, which made them very uncomfortable. Their duties did not allow to watch Wen Zhihao pass the ball with ease and pleasure, but their movements were significantly slower than Wen Zhihao's, and the best result was to bring down people with the ball, but the referee had already set their sights on them. Moreover, the effect is not obvious.

The more Atletico had the ball, the more Saul and Gabi could step forward and play to their attacking prowess, at least for the rest of the first half, when Van was not much of a player on the pitch. He needs the ball more to play at his feet, and Wen Zhihao is quite familiar with his characteristics, and his solid overall possession has made him a spectator on the pitch.

Atletico had a number of chances to extend their advantage before half-time, with the opposition defence completely flattened and the defenders and midfielders almost disconnected from each other, although several Basel defenders were stubbornly resisting the attack. Trailing by just one goal at half-time was lucky enough for them.

At halftime, all the commentators also got the statistics of the first half, and there were no surprises, and Atletico Madrid comprehensively suppressed from the process to the result. Possession, passes, shots and shots on target were at least twice as high as Basel.

The contrast between strength and weakness is too great, and such a scene does not seem to belong to the Champions League knockout round. The Swiss commentator, who was still very excited in the opening stage, has been completely convinced. "Compared with our opponents, the gap between us is still too big. Basel has shown determination, but the gap in strength is indeed an insurmountable chasm. Although it was only a goal down, there was no hope of an equaliser from the pitch......"

CCTV commentator He Wei looked forward to the second half and hoped that Wen Zhihao could make some gains, saying: "Wen Zhihao showed his super control of the game, and the fly in the ointment was that he did not grasp the opportunity to score. But don't be too anxious, according to the situation in the first half, Wen Zhihao is very likely to score in the second half."

Chinese fans are very much looking forward to Wen Zhihao filling the void and becoming the first Chinese player to score in the Champions League knockout round. While it was only a matter of time before the record was set, Chinese fans didn't want to wait too patiently.

Waiting is a very painful thing.

Since Hao Junmin missed the great opportunity to break Valencia's goal, there has been a gap of seven years before there is a second Chinese player standing on the stage of the Champions League knockout round.

Seven years, waiting for the first Champions League knockout goal belonging to a Chinese player; Waiting for Chinese football to return to the World Cup will take longer. Although the patience of Chinese fans is extraordinary, there are limits. Especially when the opportunity to realize one's wish is close at hand, waiting for a minute and a second is very anxious.

……

In the second half, Atletico Madrid began to take over the game from the moment of kick-off, no longer like the first half, giving the opponent any imagination space, the front trident took turns to shoot, and the intention of cutting the mess quickly was obvious, Simeone explained in the midfield that he wanted to grab the start in the second half, expand the lead as soon as possible, and completely control the game in his own hands to prevent future troubles.

Wen Zhihao was the first to respond to Simeone's set-up and further rewrite the score for Atletico in the 54th minute.

Griezmann was not afraid to break through on the side one-on-two, cut into the penalty area very strongly, and then passed the ball to the middle, Costa dangled a shot in front of the point, and even the goalkeeper and defender were perfectly deceived, Wen Zhihao plugged in, and at a very fast ball speed, he fell to the ground and stretched out his foot to block lightly, blocking the ball into the dead corner of the goalkeeper in the opposite direction.

He Wei suddenly became passionate: "The ball is in!" It's a little late, but it's not afraid to be late. Wen Zhihao set another record, and the first Chinese player to score in the Champions League knockout round was born! Wen Zhihao's sixth goal in the Champions League this season! They are currently in the top five of the Champions League scorers. For us, this is the first time we can't even think of it. ”

Wen didn't care about his position in the scorer charts, he was just happy that he had achieved Simeone's goal, and finally he couldn't hear the unpleasant noise of the home fans......

The Basel players stared blankly at the ball rolling into the goal, and a sense of powerlessness welled up. Basel coach Vikki, who had been standing on the sidelines watching the game, spread his hands and shook his head back to the bench, and he accepted his fate.

The home team is two goals down, and even though it was a two-legged knockout game, the result was already a foregone conclusion.

For the rest of the time, Vicky began to solidify the team's defense, trying their best not to be scored by Atletico Madrid, playing at home, and giving a not too ugly explanation to the fans.

However, Simeone and General Wen Zhihao have a common tacit understanding, and neither wants to close the army early, and Atletico Madrid has increased its offensive unabated after taking a two-goal lead. The game gradually went in the other direction. The Basel players seemed to be dissatisfied with Atletico's unforgiving approach, coupled with being kicked at home and unable to fight back, the mood was naturally quite depressed, and every defense did not restrain the action, obviously going to provoke trouble.

In the 70th minute, Wen Zhihao faked in the penalty area, and was hooked from behind by the defender, but the opponent had a very bad additional action, stepping on Wen Zhihao's calf, which was obviously a retaliatory act.

"Hey! Ay! This action must be red-carded. A direct injury to Wen Zhihao that is unreasonable! He Wei protested immediately, although the referee could not have heard it through the screen.

The teammates immediately surrounded the perpetrator to stand up for Wen Zhihao, Wen Zhihao rested for a while, and after getting up from the ground, he wanted to teach the other party to be a man directly. Costa stopped him immediately: "They're all around, don't go." You're one size smaller than that guy, don't suffer this loss! ”

Wen Zhihao was indignant: "I can't bear to change you." If it weren't for the good quality of the shin guards, my leg would be useless. See for yourself! ”

Wen Zhihao lifted his trouser leg and could see a deep imprint left by a shoe spike on the shin guard.

was broken once and almost ruined his career, Wen Zhihao looked at his leg as much as his life.

Costa persuaded: "Trust everyone, you won't be at a loss." ”

The Dutch referee on duty, Kebers, has already made his own judgment, there is no superfluous nonsense, red card plus penalty, capital punishment package!

"Cheap him!" Wen Zhihao saw a red card, allowing the other party to escape everyone's encirclement and return to the bench safely, still feeling that he was not relieved enough.

Antoine Griezmann converted the penalty to fix the advantage at three. Atletico Madrid won 3-0 away and has one foot in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

After the game, Wen Zhihao faced the Swiss media and declared in a high-profile manner as a winner: "Now everyone should know in their hearts, I will do what I say, 3:0 is indeed a polite score, if you play with all your might, the score may be doubled." ”

Wen Zhihao said this with the dissatisfaction of being deliberately violated, and the Swiss media labeled Wen Zhihao as ungraceful, but Basel lost and lost, and the protests of the losers naturally disdained to be put on the table.
