Chapter 307: Is There Still a Chance?
Atletico have suppressed their opponents for most of the time, but football is the number one sport in the world, and the charm of high-level matchups - the individual ability of the stars can also change the outcome of the game, and it is never known whether the outcome will be changed until the referee blows the whistle.
Oblak snarled at Godin in displeasure, thinking that Godin should not be so careless and let the ball slip between his legs. Objectively speaking, the goalkeeper who lost the goal really has no responsibility, and it is understandable that Oblak is depressed when he lost the ball so unexpectedly.
Godin defended apologetically, Wen Zhihao noticed that the two people in front of the door were not very pleasant, and walked over to dissipate Oblak's anger: "Okay, Young, don't say a word." Godin had done his best, and it was just an accident. It's a draw now, and as long as you make sure you play, we won't lose. ”
Turning his head, Wen Zhihao comforted Godin again: "Don't take it to heart, everyone values this victory very much, and Yang is just a little anxious." ”
Oblak didn't say much in Wen Zhihao's face, Wen Zhihao successfully defused a potential infighting, the first half is about to enter stoppage time, it is very important to calm everyone's emotions in time, He Wei spoke highly of this: "Although the score is not a good thing, but Wen Zhihao timely resolved the contradiction between the goalkeeper and the defender, which is very critical for Atletico Madrid's second half, Wen Zhihao's relationship and prestige in the Atletico Madrid team is quite good, at least from this treatment, Simeone can rest assured to hand over the captain's armband to Wen Zhihao...... Well, it's not just this game. ”
In first-half stoppage time, Bayern tried to take advantage of the victory to chase down the score, but Atletico withstood the opponent's attack, and the two sides played 1:1 at half-time.
Garcia pointed out very seriously the hidden dangers that Simeone needed to deal with in the dressing room at half-time: "The sudden equaliser will definitely take a toll on the mentality of the Atletico players, and this discordant scene between Godin and Oblak should be a wake-up call for Simeone. ”
Marcelleff was very confident in Bayern's second half: "Although Atletico are very strong, being able to equalize when they have the advantage shows that this team is not mature enough. And this happens to be Bayern's biggest strength. Bayern, who have five titles, will know how to get ahead of the game in a stalemate in the final. The Bundesliga giants will be able to truly dominate the game in the second half. ”
Domestically, fans are sorry for Atletico Madrid, and it would have been a very good advantage to end the first half with a one-goal lead. But it's a pity that we didn't stick to the end, and we really don't know how the second half of the game will develop. Although they have emotional confidence in Atletico, what if Bayern have another unconventional shot like Muller's?
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, in the Champions League final, the probability of an accident is far greater than 1 in 10,000.
In the dressing room at half-time, Simeone did not explain the tactics of the second half first, but used his loud voice and exaggerated demeanor to stimulate everyone to recover their fighting spirit: "Cheer me up!" It's only 1:1 now, but your eyes tell me that you hesitate in your heart, just because this is the Champions League final and the opponent is Bayern Munich? Or have we lost two Champions League finals that make you feel less confident? Remember, we have won three times this year against five-time Champions League winner Barcelona and twelve-time Champions League winner Real Madrid! We're no worse than any team. ”
Wen Zhihao also stood up and clapped his hands in relatively gentle language to encourage: "Everyone should have confidence, we pressed them in the first half, and the offensive side continued to perform in the first half, and it is not difficult to score goals." ”
It was not easy to stabilize everyone's mood, but less than ten minutes into the second half, Atletico's situation continued to take a sharp turn. After Robben showed his trademark inward cut down the left flank, disrupting Atletico's backline, his first shot was subconsciously blocked by Oblak, but it couldn't get out of the danger zone, and Lewandowski slapped the horse at the first time and fired into the net.
1:2! In less than 15 minutes of the combined half, Atletico went through the double days of ice and fire, falling from heaven and stepping on the edge of a cliff with one foot.
Due to his identity, He Wei still has to praise Heynckes' midfield arrangement for being very effective, but you can hear it from the tone that this is very contrary to his intentions.
Heynckes was very old and spicy, and after the score was ahead, he adjusted the midfield position and replaced the attacking and defensive balance, and the all-round Chilean international Vidal replaced Kimmich. With the defensive quality of the midfield as a whole replenished, Bayern's formation changed to 4-2-3-1, with Vidal and Xavi Martinez standing in parallel, and Muller moving behind Lewandowski to act as a shadow striker and also as a midfielder.
Simeone's response to Bayern's midfield reinforcement was also swift. Cork was ordered to help Wen Zhihao share the offensive pressure.
Against Bayern, Atletico are not very suitable for a hard-fought positional battle. Wen Zhihao's sober judgment on this point has always been consistent with Simeone, but with the addition of Koke as an all-round attacking midfielder, Atletico's advancing speed and changes in the counterattack have indeed been enriched. Koke sometimes pushed into the box and suddenly shot from distance, aiming at the four corners of the goal, which was very threatening.
And in the second half of the second half, as Godin and Savic assisted in the defense more and more resolutely. Atletico finally managed to restrain the wings of the "Robery" combination. After scoring two goals in a row by Bayern, Atletico finally formed a stalemate with the opponent again in the situation.
But that's not enough, Atletico need a goal that can continue the game's hopes!
The game time is being consumed minute by minute, Bayern is trying every means to delay time, even the penalty sideline ball, the penalty player has to be changed once, and there is no twenty seconds that cannot be sent.
Simeone has a strong opinion on this, but referee Brech has no reason to give a penalty for the action within the rules.
"At the end of the day, Atletico still need a hero to step up and rewrite the score and completely reverse the trend, otherwise there is not much chance of ...... Will it be Wen Zhihao who has stepped forward again? He Wei has expectations.
However, Bayern obviously also knows that the most important thing at this time is to limit Wen Zhihao, Xavi Martinez and Vidal basically shifted their focus to Wen Zhihao, as long as he got the ball, there were two red copper walls in front of him. Even if you break through, the ball has to stay where it is.
Such a defensive strategy also led to a lot of set-piece opportunities for Atletico in the final moments. Set-pieces are generally handled by Wen Zhihao, but under Bayern's collective contraction, nothing has been gained.
As the minutes ticked by, Atletico Madrid were still trying to threaten the opponent's goal, but even set-pieces were getting fewer and fewer opportunities.
"Atletico still have to hold on, there are still a few minutes, maybe there will be a miracle!" He Wei encouraged him with great force.
But the fans feel that hope is getting slimmer.
Now Atletico's enemies are not only Bayern on the opposite side, but also with little time left.
Is there really a chance?
