Chapter 163: Successful Planning (Collect!) )
Only more than 20 minutes passed in the first half, and Wen Zhihao felt that his physical fitness had dropped sharply, and he rarely felt powerless. On the one hand, he runs up and down frequently, and in order to connect the team more effectively and improve effective ball control as much as possible, most of the time it is a short sprint of about 20 meters. You can persist once or twice, but the long-term continuous sprint requires Wen Zhihao's continuous physical explosiveness and anaerobic running.
Wen Zhihao is still at the age of physical development, his height has grown by three centimeters in the past year, reaching one meter 76, and his weight has also increased by five kilograms, and the load on his body has increased during running. On the field, the opposing central defender Clavan and midfielder Henderson directly bullied people with their bodies, Wen Zhihao had to use most of his physical energy on running and physical confrontation, and when he really did the key pass, like a car with insufficient fuel, the decline in physical fitness had seriously deformed his technical movements.
In short, the situation on the pitch is that Atletico Madrid have done nothing in attack so far, and the few opportunities are for Gaitan and Carrasco on the wings to break through with their individual abilities, but Liverpool quickly made up for this, and the two central defenders were especially active on the pitch, assisting the full-backs to nip Atletico's wide threat in the bud - it should be said that it directly stole the seed of the wing attack, because under the care of Moreno and Klein, it was difficult for both full-backs to get the ball.
Although Liverpool could not have many chances to threaten goalkeeper Moya in attack, most of them were due to the overall defense, and Atletico Madrid fans were worried about it.
Defense is not a long-term solution after all, you can defend for a while, you can't prevent the whole game, and only offense can win the game.
Klopp clearly knows better. During his time at Borussia Dortmund, he championed attacking football, bringing the Hornets two consecutive league titles and a runners-up finish in the 2013 Champions League. The 2011-2012 season was a league and cup double. In the season of two consecutive titles, Dortmund has scored more than two goals per game, which is the highest in the Bundesliga.
Simeone has made Atletico's defence an aggressive art, but in this game, there is a danger of being broken at any time.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent to hook someone behind the foul, Wen Zhihao lay directly to the ground, not only to gain a respite for himself to recover his physical strength, but also to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.
Simeone was nervous at first, got up from his seat, and when he saw Wen Zhihao wave to the sidelines and refuse to let the team doctor in, he flashed a smile and sat down.
With a strong ability to read competitions, Simeone saw a valuable merit in Wen Zhihao. He wondered if it was because of his experience or talent that a young man of his age could not be disturbed by a difficult situation and make a move that would benefit the whole team.
Wen Zhihao's injury interrupted the game, basically all the players felt the injury, Thomas and the "culprit" Henderson spat at each other, as a black man, he puffed up his eyes and stared at people It was still very shocking, Henderson didn't dare to let out the fire in his heart.
When Wen Zhihao was lying on the ground, all kinds of images flashed in his mind like a movie, and he was thinking about how to pass the ball to the front line to create a threat.
"Kevin, we have to find a way, it's not always 40 meters away from the goal." Wen Zhihao said to Gameiro.
Gameiro couldn't catch the ball for a long time, and he was very dissatisfied with waiting for the ball in front, and immediately agreed: "What do you want to do? ”
"This ...... I can't tell you yet, but in a moment you'll be around the box between the full-backs and the centre-backs and ready to run inside. ”
Gameiro glanced at Wen Zhihao suspiciously, but he didn't care about Wen Zhihao, a newcomer, who assigned tasks to himself, after all, it was all for the team. He just didn't know what Wen Zhihao was going to do. In his previous form, even if he did what he said, would he be able to give the ball to his feet?
Gameiro was not very sure in his heart, but he nodded slightly. There is no other way for the time being, it is better to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, maybe believe him once, it really works.
In fact, it is not Wen Zhihao who deliberately sells off, he does not yet know Spanish, nor does he speak Gameiro's native French, and the two can only communicate in English, Wen Zhihao is worried that the Liverpool player has ears across the wall and steals his own brilliant creativity.
If you speak Spanish, you wouldn't have any of these problems. Wen Zhihao felt that in order to truly become a member of Atletico Madrid and let everyone accept him from the bottom of their hearts, the language barrier was a problem that had to be solved immediately, and it had affected the communication on the field.
However, He Wei was very interested in the scene of Gameiro's nod: "It seems that Wen Zhihao and Atletico Madrid have integrated well, and if you want to integrate into such a giant, you have to behave like a salesman." Wen Zhihao's performance is an inspiration for players who are aspiring to stay abroad. If you want to get a foothold in another environment, it's not enough to be technically competent. ”
After the game resumed, Wen Zhihao used this precious ball to choose a smarter style of play, deliberately slowing down the running rhythm, and sometimes even came to the center circle near the arc to seek short passes, which seemed to be unattacking**.
Atletico Madrid fans are a little dissatisfied with the team's attitude, and the Liverpool players are also a little confused when they see Wen Zhihao suddenly retreating so deeply, and they are hesitating whether to fight back. Worried that if it is unsuccessful, Atletico will play a trademark counterattack.
Jurgen Klopp on the sidelines looked anxious, the team had many good chances to score, and they should strike while the iron was hot, and Atletico Madrid must not be allowed to successfully consume the remaining time. He waved his arms and directed the midfielder to start pressing.
Wen Zhihao saw that the opponent had the intention of coming up to press, and the rhythm of his feet suddenly accelerated, and the right foot pulled the ball to change direction directly past Henderson's tackle. The fall to the ground and the careless inverted feet just now are actually a process of fighting psychology and recovering physical strength. Obviously, Wen Zhihao guessed correctly. Liverpool really wanted to turn their advantage into a win in the first half.
Wen Zhihao passed Henderson, and the fans of both teams let out a burst of exclamation at the same time. Simeone's eyes lit up slightly, looking forward to Wen Zhihao's next move.
And Klopp smelled something bad at this moment, and he kind of regretted that the tactics were too aggressive. However, he could only yell at Clavan to get closer to Wen Zhihao and make up for Henderson's mistake.
Wen Zhihao was only two or three steps away from the big penalty area, facing a dozen centimeters taller than himself, the menacing Kravan, Wen Zhihao gently picked up the ball, and then the outside of the right foot was connected very quickly, almost a connection action that could only be captured by the replay, and then the ankle shook, the outside instep picked up the pass, and the ball flew directly towards the penalty area on the other side.
Liverpool's defensive center of gravity is moving towards Wen Zhihao's side as a whole, and this pass obviously made them unexpected, and there is a big question mark in their hearts.
What is being preached?
Is there anyone?
The ball had just bounced off the edge of the box when a yellow figure that clearly distinguished Liverpool from Liverpool appeared behind the entire Liverpool defence. It was Gameiro. The Liverpool players were suddenly out of the blue, and Matip, who had a little experience, quickly raised his hand to look at the linesman.
But to his despair, the linesman was just staring at Gameiro's movements.
No offside!
Atletico fans instantly began to cheer, and Spanish commentator Garcia's mood suddenly soared: "God! It's actually Wen from the sluggish audience! Incredible provocation! ”
Wen Zhihao's pass and Gameiro's running direction coincided highly, the ball arrived, Gameiro still had time to take a look at Mignolet, a push less than five meters away, Mignolet whip is beyond the reach.
1:0! Atletico are ahead in an extremely passive situation!
The audience and coaching staff were very excited, Simeone rushed to the sidelines and roared passionately, Gameiro came over to thank Wen Zhihao for the first time: "The pass is beautiful!" Your suggestion is even more handsome, I haven't scored such a comfortable goal in a long time! ”
Looking at his teammates who came up to celebrate, Wen Zhihao forgot his excitement and was a little in a trance, he actually helped his new teammates score goals so quickly.
