Chapter 192: Blood Spilled Arena (Sunday's First Shift)

At the end of the first half, Atletico led by two goals, a result that most people expected.

Falling behind by two goals in football is often a watershed moment that can turn into a rout, but the manager's adjustment is stimulating, and an equaliser or even a comeback is not far off, which is what Conte had to do in the fifteen minutes of mid-time, and Simeone could return to the break room with a huge psychological advantage.

When Wen Zhihao walked into the players' tunnel, he walked among the players, talking and laughing with Thomas, Griezmann turned back from time to time to interject, and the Atletico Madrid players were in a very good mood. But in the eyes of Chelsea fans, this is a naked show off of victory in front of them, and the mood of the home team fans is already very devastated, and now they just found a place to vent, close to the spectator seats in the players' tunnel, and all kinds of unfriendly "greetings" flowed into the ears of Wen Zhihao and others.

"Madrid bastards, enjoy the last joy, I guess you won't be able to laugh in the second half."

"The great Chelsea in the second half are going to blow up the bunch, haha! I really want to see their expressions at that time. ”

"Hey, that yellow-skinned boy, start your show! Although the acting skills are so lame that they are not in the stream. ”

Wen Zhihao and Griezmann automatically filtered out these noises and plunged into the players' tunnel, but Thomas, the black brother, couldn't bear the loneliness, and raised a middle finger with his right hand backwards when he walked into the players' tunnel, and then walked forward without looking back, leaving behind the shouts of Chelsea fans and a pair of murderous eyes stabbing at Thomas's back.

As soon as Wen Zhihao turned around, he happened to see this scene, and shook his head helplessly, this guy really doesn't think it's a big deal, is it really that fun to pull hatred?

The changing rooms on both sides have very different atmospheres.

Simeone didn't even say anything, leaving it up to the players to adjust themselves. He has nothing to give to the players, and as for not letting go of this useless nonsense, Simeone believes his players know what to do.

In the Chelsea dressing room, most of the people kept their heads down, like scolded students, and even captain Gary Cahill looked bad, thinking about the defense before the penalty, as if he had lost the lead from the moment he chose to tackle the ball.

Conte kept clapping his hands and encouraging: "It's just two goals behind, has the end come?" Come on! All cheer me up. Three goals down and half a game can be recovered, which is a story that happened in the Champions League final. Believe in yourselves, you can do it in this stadium. It's a matter of dignity for Premier League champions. ”

Gary Cahill was the first to stand up as captain: "Don't worry, boss, I won't give them another chance. ”

Conte explained to everyone: "Defending is everyone's business, they are tough defensively, but you are not bad physically. Especially the Chinese, he is very fast. Ngolo, your position is on his side, as long as you find that he has the intention of accelerating, do not hesitate, immediately squeeze him with your body and stop him by all means. ”

The French iron-waisted Kante, who transferred from Leicester City, nodded seriously: "I understand the coach, I will let him know how good I am." ”

Since playing a major role in Leicester's title win two seasons ago, Kante has been compared by many media outlets to Real Madrid's former Real Madrid striker Klelele, who also plays as a defensive midfielder, short in height, with excellent awareness and fierce scrambling. The two have a lot in common. And all of them are from France. Leicester City can stage a dark horse miracle, Kante averaged 9.2 tackles per game, some media have begun to predict, Kante and Pogba teamed up in the middle of the French team, next year's World Cup France team is one of the favorites, and even the possibility of surpassing the defending champion, the Germanic chariot that is currently on eight consecutive wins in the European qualifying group.

With Chelsea's current staffing, N'Golo Kante is an ideal candidate to restrain Wen Zhihao. Conte also made a change of position for the three central defenders, with a full-back background, and the quicker Azpilicueta switched to Wen Zhihao's area of activity, while replacing Cesc Fabregas with Pedro in front of the field to further strengthen his attacking ability.

Chelsea players really feel that this score can not be explained, obviously accelerated the pace of attack, and the pass directly into the Atletico penalty area has increased significantly, on the one hand, it is Conte's adjustment that has played a role, but the internal factors are the decisive factor, Chelsea players' desire to win has gradually restored their form to the first round against Qarabag, Pedro's appearance has further increased the defensive pressure on Atletico Madrid's left side Felipe, and the players who have played in Barcelona are absolutely at their feet. Although Cesc Fabregas has also played for Barcelona for three years, he is definitely inferior to Pedro, who specializes in wingers, in terms of wing assault ability, and Felipe has not adapted to this change for a while and has been a little embarrassed.

"Whoa!"

Chelsea fans erupted in mocking boos and louder shouts.

Joe Kruka was slightly relieved: 'Antonio Conte's adjustment in the lounge has been fruitful and Chelsea's second half has been clearly renewed. That's right! Only this form is in line with the quality of the Premier League champions, after all, the Premier League is the number one league in the world. ”

The competitiveness of the Premier League is the strongest among the five major leagues, and the saying of "the world's first league" also makes the British very proud, although the best record of the Premier League team in recent years is only the Champions League semi-finals, and the Premier League's UEFA technical score ranking is gradually declining, but the British have never admitted it.

……

Atletico may really just want to win the game at the minimum cost, not threatening a single attack in the ten minutes of the second half, and compared to the sharp and coquettish counter-attack in the first half, Atletico are left with only defence left, and Wen Zhihao is completely reduced to spectators up front. This is the helplessness of the striker, without passing the ball, no matter how good the striker is, it is useless for a hero.

Wen Zhihao has never been a passive waiter, without a pass from a team-mate, he went to grab Chelsea's return pass. Swimming back and forth between the three central defenders, as long as there is an opportunity to pass back, he will never let go, and among these central defenders, he pressed Gary Cahill the most, this is the confidence that the breakthrough point gave Wen Zhihao, he saw that Cahill is not in good shape, in case of a small mistake, isn't it a pie-in-the-sky opportunity?

Wen Zhihao thought very well, so he spared no effort in pressing, but sometimes it is not a good thing to be too active. Cahill picked up a big foot in front of the left and smashed it on Wen Zhihao's face impartially, and Wen Zhihao covered his face and fell to the ground with a scream. The referee saw Wen Zhihao lying on the ground and didn't get up for a long time, and stopped the game after more than ten seconds, and rushed over to check the injury. The team doctor also entered the field as quickly as possible.

Under the accurate focus of the close-up, the blood stains in the corners of Wen Zhihao's eyes made everyone's hearts tremble.

"Simeone shouldn't keep Wen on the pitch for the sake of the player's health, it's really bad news, hopefully he's fine."

"This scene is really worrying, I hope it's just a little bit of trauma, Zhihao did a good job today, he can go down and rest with confidence. I wish him a speedy recovery. ”

A lot of blessing posts have appeared on the domestic Internet, and many fans have replied under Wen Zhihao's recent Weibo to express their concern.

After a simple hemostatic treatment by the team doctor, Wen Zhihao came to the field for further suturing and bandaging. Simeone immediately came over and worried: "Wen, how are you, are you okay?" ”

"Boss, why are you so nervous? It's just a little bit of color, and it's not in the way. ”

Simeone breathed a sigh of relief and affirmed Wen Zhihao's performance today: "You did a good job, now have a good rest, you don't need to worry about the rest of the game." Recuperating from your injuries is your biggest task. ”

Simeone was ready to make his first substitution, but Bietto had already warmed up, leaving Atletico with one less man on the pitch for a short period of time.
