The boos of the audience seemed to burst the eardrums, but Wen Zhihao ignored it, because he fell on the field for a long time, and according to the custom, the team doctor needed to go on the field to check the injury, in fact, Wen Zhihao was not a big problem, he just wanted to take such an opportunity to take a breath. In addition, from this point of view, seeing the rather aggrieved backs of Chelsea players, I am secretly happy.

Isn't there a saying that the greatest happiness is that the opponent gritted his teeth at you but was helpless, Wen Zhihao felt that there was some truth in this.

The two Sky Sports commentators had different reactions, with Joe Kruka sitting in the commentary booth and exhaling, not thinking of a tactful and reasonable expression of the sudden turn of events. After Rudy Davies' expression changed several times, he finally squeezed out a sentence: "Okay, penalty, Atletico won." ”

Antoine Griezmann did not waste a great chance created by Wen Zhihao, taking the penalty and leaving the problem to Chelsea at home.

Simeone clenched his fists and roared twice, this lead is not easy to come by, but the process is not important, the important thing is that Atletico Madrid can play defensive counterattacks with peace of mind, Chelsea wants to equalize, the space behind them will be more and more large, and the three-center-back system is most conducive to Wen Zhihao and Griezmann's running and interspersing in the counterattack, and the coverage area of the entire backfield is not comparable to the four-back system.

Everyone can think of the next plot development, if before the game there were 60% of fans who favored Atletico Madrid to win, now it is estimated that it has plummeted to 3 or 40%. Playing with an opponent like Atletico Madrid is actually quite helpless, whether you want to or not, as long as you fall into passivity in the score, you will be led by the nose and enter the familiar rhythm of Atletico Madrid, which is often a more unsolvable vicious circle for backward opponents. Unless they have a top-tier attacking combination like the BBC, MSN, Robery, and a more powerful midfield configuration than Atletico's close pressing. Atletico Madrid has lost twice to Real Madrid and once to Bayern in the last three Champions League knockout rounds, which completely proves that Simeone's counter-attacking tactics are unbreakable without a top attacking combination. Obviously, Chelsea's attacking line is not as good as these combinations, so it will be a difficult game for Conte.

Conte was pacing back and forth in front of the coach's box, but Simeone sat down, quite a master, waiting for Conte to take the lead when he couldn't hold his breath, anyway, he was not in a hurry.

"Diego, you always don't make it clear, now you should always tell me what you think, right? Even if you have to rotate, and Fernando, how can you think of pushing Gentle Anthony up front with him? ”

Boggs watched Simeone sit down, his expression relaxed, and he took the initiative to come over and ask Simeone to solve his doubts.

Simeone pointed to the heavens: "God's will." ”

Boggs rolled his eyes dissatisfied, and I will accept that you can still be serious about talking nonsense.

"Old man, don't dwell on these problems, the result is the most important, the effect is not bad, at least it is higher than I expected."

"And after that? Do we need to develop a set of tactics for situations where both of them are on the field at the same time? ”

Simeone put his arm around Boggs' shoulder and said, "Old man, you've always thought more than I do, why don't we switch places?" ”

……

Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge have followed the team through strong winds and waves, after the restart, every time the home team gets the ball, the cheers on the pitch are significantly doubled, and whenever Atletico Madrid gets the ball, the intensity of the boos is only louder than the cheers, especially when Wen Zhihao gets the opportunity to counterattack, in addition to the boos, there will be a lot of sharp strange screams, and even obvious "monkey" screams can be heard in the stands.

Such voices were drowned out in a large area of boos, and the Atletico fans at the scene did not show weakness at all, creating a huge momentum to confront the "Blues" fans, although the number was less than half of the home team's fans, but the Atletico Madrid fans were well prepared, and they made their voices heard with the Viking lion roar that Icelandic fans spread all over the world at the European Championship under the unified organization of fan leaders. The Viking Lion's Roar is an effective way to maximize the overall momentum of the cheering group. When the number of people is superior, it can completely cover the stadium, and when the number of fans is not enough, it can also minimize the disadvantage.

Wen Zhihao is completely unaffected by the fans on the pitch, he is completely focused on the team's counter-attacks, and he has been watching Griezmann's running and receiving habits. Wen Zhihao has worked with many coaches, and with the improvement of experience and experience, he has gradually learned to figure out the intentions of the coaches, and then knows what to do on the field. Antoine Griezmann certainly won't be his passer, that guy is a good finisher, and Wen Zhihao knows what he needs to do is deliver cannonballs to Griezmann nearby. Fortunately, I have had a breakthrough performance before, as long as I have personal signs, I will attract a certain amount of attention from the opposition backline, and this is an opportunity to pass the ball to Griezmann.

Wen Zhihao and Antoine Griezmann are generally the same type of players, and there are many similarities in the way they play, although they rarely cooperate on the same field, which does not prevent the two from relying on the instinct of this position to make relatively correct judgments.

Before the end of the first half, the two had a delicate combination. Saul passed the ball to Wen Zhihao near the left, Wen Zhihao pushed to Griezmann at the top of the arc of the penalty area, central defender David Luiz stepped forward to get close to Griezmann, but Griezmann turned to the left, stopped directly in front of David Luiz, and then went straight to the left, Chelsea's three central defenders were exposed, Gary Cahill didn't have time to turn around, and behind him, Wen Zhihao's start timing was just right, and he was aiming at Chelsea's entire back line, after Griezmann's pass, Wen Zhihao deliberately slowed down by half a beat before accelerating into the bottom line of the penalty area, and he was not offside at all.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois didn't have time to think twice and could only move to the left near corner, but he kept an eye on it because he didn't think Wen Zhihao would shoot directly from a position close to zero.

Wen Zhihao didn't have a shot on goal, but he sent in a close cross that almost clashed the middle of the post, and it wasn't slow either, creating a huge problem for the Chelsea defenders. No matter who touches the ball, it is very likely that they will touch the ball into the goal in the chaos.

Antoine Griezmann's excellent nose as an attacking finisher allowed him to keenly catch Wen Zhihao's gift, and with a flick of his toe, he slotted the ball into the empty net to extend Atletico's advantage further before half-time.

“gooooaL!!!!” Garcia instantly erupted, "Perfect fit!" The gentle Antoine Griezmann beat Chelsea with just one hand, and just look at Simeone's reaction and you know how amazing it all was. ”

Simeone took off his suit and slipped to his knees on the sidelines, and Boggs went over to pull him up, and he was so excited that he strangled Boggs. The latter's expression of pleasure and pain became the best material for memes.

Simeone's excitement is not just about the goal itself, but also about the combination he wants to see behind it. The small fast attacking combination of "Wen Zhihao + Griezmann" can have room for improvement after further carving. Especially before Torres was out of form and Costa registered for the winter, Simeone needed a new attacking combination to stabilize the team's attacking firepower, and the call from the two came at the right time. Simeone feels there's a lot of room to build on this attacking combination, but it still needs to be further refined.

PS: If Atletico Madrid is allowed to play at home first according to the actual situation, it is not conducive to the protagonist in the final qualifying stage, so the home-and-away order has been adjusted, which should not affect the perception, right?
