Wen Zhihao looked at the mutation on the field and whispered to Ghanaian iron waist Thomas on the bench.

And the hearts of Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the live broadcast sank by half, and there was one less person on the back line, except for some Atletico Madrid hardcores worried about the outcome of the game, more fans thought that Wen Zhihao's debut might be postponed.

10 against 11, unless Simeone doesn't care about the outcome of this game, he will definitely be inclined to trust an absolute workhorse like Griezmann.

After Savic was sent off, Simeone replaced Carrasco on the left with Uruguayan centre-back José Jimenez, and right midfielder Koke leaned slightly into the middle to form a three-midfield position, sacrificing the wide attack in exchange for the overall offensive and defensive balance.

However, Callejon, who had a great chance to open the scoring, did not take advantage of the penalty he created, and he opted for a half-high shot that was not fast enough and not angled enough, but Oblak judged it correctly and flew to the left to block the ball.

Simeone stood on the sidelines, and after seeing Oblak's heroic performance, he breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxed a little, and walked back to the dugout to continue to sit and watch the game, thinking about the deployment of the second half.

He Wei is just as excited as the Chinese fans, because of Wen Zhihao, Atletico Madrid is already the home team in the minds of most fans.

The minutes after the penalty are often a period of momentum, and the morale of the side that does not die will be boosted, Torres and Griezmann have several shots on goal are very threatening, but Reina, who guarded the Napoli goal opposite, was also Spain's No. 2 goalkeeper, and the substitute of the peak Sancaci is naturally quite strong, and the shots that hit the goal range were rejected by him first.

The confrontation between the two sides in the first half really showed the nature of the commercial game. The defensive end was not at its peak, and the game was generally open, especially as the two sides set off a series of rapid offensive and defensive transitions in the final minutes to set off a continuous "gaochao" in the stands.

The only fly in the ointment was the 0:0 score on the scoreboard, which was not quite the same as the goal battle script that everyone expected.

He Wei commented: "Such a half-time score should not be surprising, although Simeone is a man of temperament, but he has always been serious and meticulous in his approach to the game, and the flashiness on the scoreboard is obviously not his pursuit." ”

In the half-time lounge, Simeone was very pleased with the attitude of his players on the pitch and motivated them to make up for the numerical disadvantage by running more aggressively. After saying this, he suddenly raised his voice, and his high-pitched voice resounded in the locker room: "I want each of you, even if you are sitting on the bench, to fully devote yourself to the game!" In such a competition, everyone sitting here has a chance to express themselves. ”

The bench players were a little more serious all of a sudden, no longer joking about themselves, and they could hear that the head coach was talking about their own group of people.

Wen Zhihao, who was drinking water, stopped his movements, and from Simeone's words, he heard that he would definitely make his Atletico debut in Munich. Even if it's not this one, there will be a chance in the next one.

Wen Zhihao hurriedly leaned over to Gabi's side, wanting to ask for some advice, Gabi pouted at Griezmanunu on the other end, and said to Wen Zhihao: "You should go and have a good relationship with Anthony, whether you can play or not depends on that person's mood, otherwise I can't help." ”

Wen Zhihao touched his nose in embarrassment. I wanted to have a good relationship with people, but the gods didn't pay attention to me at all.

Until now, Wen Zhihao doesn't know why Griezmann has such an attitude towards himself, and he has also observed in private that in front of Torres and Gabi, Griezmann is a very cheerful and talkative person, Wen Zhihao remembers an old saying, things gather by like, and people by groups.

Maybe people don't bother to take care of themselves because they are still rookies in the eyes of others, and they can't get into the circle of friends of these big names, just like there will not be a 9-to-5 office worker in the rich circle.

It seems that in order to get closer to Griezmann, you have to show your strength.

And get stronger!

Unbeknownst to Wen, his decision at the moment presented Simeone's biggest problem of the season.

……

In the second half, Napoli relied on the opportunity to get the ball from the kick-off and suddenly accelerated the pace of attack, continuously putting pressure on Atletico Madrid's defense, Gimenez's mobility ability was obviously inferior to the main central defender Savic, and Atletico Madrid's defense gradually gave the opponent a chance.

Simeone had just wanted to call on left wing-back Felipe to adduct properly to help Gimenez strengthen his protection, but he was still one step behind the other.

In the 56th minute, Callejon, who missed a penalty in the first half, made up for it, receiving a cross from the side of Brazilian midfielder Allan, and Atletico Madrid's two central defenders were all concentrated in the middle to cover Mertens, but Callejon at the back point was left unattended. In the face of the preoccupied Oblak, Callejon did not stop the ball and volleyed with his right foot, which was somewhat unexpected by Oblak, and when Callejon swung his leg to complete the shot and make a save, Oblak could only use his eyes to fulfill his defensive responsibilities and watch the ball fly into the upper corner of the goal on the right hand side.

The moment the ball was lost, the camera pulled to the sidelines, Simeone was communicating with Boggs in a whisper, not looking particularly excited, and still seemed to be confident.

He Wei reminded Simeone "kindly": "At this time, Atletico Madrid has no other choice, if Simeone wants to win, should he consider making adjustments to strengthen the attack?" ”

Chinese fans are the same, and they only hope that Wen Zhihao can get the opportunity sooner.

But Simeone's second card was Bietto, replacing Coke. Strengthen the forward line and weaken the midfield.

It seems that Simeone's last fight is gone, but Atletico's two set-piece opportunities, Torres and Bietto, reversed the 0:1 disadvantage into 2:1 in an instant, and Atletico's biggest set-piece magic weapon was once again powerful, announcing to everyone that Europe's No. 1 set-piece team is not in vain.

It had been 76 minutes since Bietto scored the winning goal, and Simeone kept looking at his watch, pinching the time to make the last substitution.

In the first game of the new season, the physical condition of the main players was not optimal, and the Atletico players deliberately wanted to win the game at the minimum cost after the comeback, and the most obvious signal was that Griezmann's running frequency in the front field slowed down significantly.

Simeone glanced back at the bench and with a minute left in regular time, the fourth official was ready to raise the stoppage time sign.

Simeone felt it was time for a substitution.

……

"Oh, we've finally waited for this moment! Wen Zhihao replaced Antoine Griezmann with five minutes of stoppage time, although there was not much time, but this was the first time in the history of the Chinese player in the first team of Atletico Madrid, congratulations! ”

He Wei stated excitedly.

The on-site camera clearly recorded a detail at the moment of substitution: when Griezmann and Wen Zhihao walked off the field face to face, there was no high-five or other movement, and they walked directly from Wen Zhihao's side to the bench.

Intriguing scenes.

The olfactory media have already thought of the headlines of the post-match news at the same time.
