Chapter 150: The Battle of Calderón (4)

"Santiago! Rather than opting to dunk the ball to anyone else, he will face Heitinga, while the Atletico players around him quickly come together, and the in-form Santiago is now the top priority of their defense, and no one dares to underestimate the Argentine who has made his La Liga debut! ”

"What!? Santiago took the ball and stepped forward and came out of the crowd again! Oh my God, I think Atletico's defensive players are almost crumbling at the moment! The young Argentine midfielder has played the game so easily, it was like a training match on the pitch of love songs! ”

Santhiago unloaded the ball again, and the Dutch central defender tried to drag Santi with his hands, but at this moment the Argentine's body exploded with extremely powerful energy! No one could stop him, and with a right-footed push, he aimed for the right side of the goal! At this critical time, Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper Kupe actually judged the wrong direction, oh my God! The ball is in! The ball rolls into the goal! ”

Heitinga is fierce in defense and excellent in jumping, but how can Saintty be the one who knows how to retreat?

Saintie, who had already made up his mind, faced the Dutch central defender and first pulled the ball to the left with the sole of his right foot, avoiding the first round of grabbing, and then jumped up with his supporting foot while pulling the ball and landed on a position that was more biased to the left. But what he didn't expect was that just when everyone was seeing Heitinga touch the ball, Saintie suddenly picked the ball lightly, and the whole person rushed out towards the goal.

And the next scene is even more shocking, as the main goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid, although this game has conceded a goal, but the performance of the Frenchman Kupe is remarkable, after helping Lyon win five consecutive championships and transfer to Atletico Madrid, his competitive level not only did not decline, but steadily improved, but no one expected that he would make a fatal mistake at this critical moment, a mistake in judgment!

“goal!!!!!!! Santi, Santiago scored the second goal of the game! Villarreal opened the scoring with another goal and Kupe couldn't stop Saint-Tiago's shot on target!! The score was rewritten to 2:0!! This is extremely bad news for Atletico Madrid, Villarreal has scored two goals in a row at the Calderón Stadium! The Yellow Submarine fans in the stands were already in a frenzy of shouting!!! ”

Seeing Santi push the ball into the net with a heavy lift, Atletico goalkeeper Kupe looked up at the glare spotlight in pain and couldn't say anything

On the other hand, Santi, after scoring his first La Liga goal, he was like crazy, it was definitely a fantastic goal! Even before the breakthrough, he had made up his mind, but he didn't expect everything to come out so fantastically! He scored with a hearty breakthrough and a sharp push, which made Atletico Madrid helplessly swallow the bitter fruit of falling behind 0:2 in the first half at his home stadium!

In the hugs of his teammates one after another, Saintie roared happily, from the initial ten minutes of depression to the fluency of opening up the situation now, this is the football he wants, and more importantly, this time it is him, an attack organized with himself as the core! Senti deliberately proved his quality to everyone who was watching the game with two very different offensive methods, not only delivering key assists, but also revitalizing the whole game and tearing through the opponent's defense like a sharp knife with his own strength.

What could be more enjoyable?

"There are only a few minutes left before the end of the first half, and now the home team players have no counter-attack, just thinking about holding on to this score and entering the halftime period, for Atletico Madrid, the whole first half is undoubtedly a failure, they failed to limit Santtiago, nor could they limit any of the Villarreal players, the whole process was led by the nose by the opponent, which is a great blow to the morale of this strong army."

At this moment, they seem to have forgotten their pre-match ambitions, and they are silent with their heads bowed under the gaze of tens of thousands of their own fans in the stadium.

"Aguero took the ball and he broke through Senna's defense and led it all the way forward, but unfortunately there was no one to support in the middle, otherwise he was very dangerous in this position! In desperation, he chose to pass back, Garcia took the ball and continued to walk a few steps forward, it seems that this is Atletico trying to make in the final minutes? “

"In the face of the grab, this is the return again? One kick transfer, although I don't know what kind of thoughts the players on the field have, but from our perspective of the overall situation, Atletico Madrid's attack has not improved in the slightest! ”

"Unlike the 442 formation formed in the Champions League and the previous league games, although Atletico Madrid may seem to be much more flexible in this game, the main reason for this change is that Aguero and Forlan both have strong peripheral activities! They can put enough pressure on the perimeter, but their flaw is also very obvious, that is, the duo is indeed the ideal front line fulcrum and battering ram, but in the midfield, in the vital midfield, they lack absolutely strong support! “

"Compared to Villarreal, who have Santiago, the Atletico midfield at the moment is undoubtedly dwarfed!"

"That's true, we can clearly see that whenever Villarreal quickly shrinks down in defense to complete the formation of solidification, Atletico Madrid does not get any good chances at all, but is repeatedly intercepted in vain, steals and counterattacks."

"More than 50% of Atletico's attack throughout the first half was on the left flank, and Sergio Aguero and Forlan also had a clear division of labor most of the time, with the former feints on the periphery and then quickly advanced to the back of the box to wait for the pass, while the latter started from the midfield position and tried to move closer to the area with the ball, and more of a front point to echo Aguero when receiving crosses."

Perhaps this is exactly what Atletico Madrid coach Aguirre wants to see, in his ideal situation, Atletico with the ball at his feet should not blindly press the formation forward, but should move the opponent's defensive center of gravity forward through patient inversion, leaving a certain amount of space for attackers such as Aguero to sprint, especially a super blaster like Aguero. Because once the midfielder sends the ball over the top that goes straight behind the defence at the first time, Aguero and Forlan can directly form a double goal, posing a huge threat to Villarreal's goal.
