Chapter 201: Another Feint! (Second update of the weekend!) )
Valverde did not show any weakness, and he glanced at Simone, his eyes full of deathly mockery.
Want to fight me? Scold! Naive!
Deulofeu immediately replaced Andre Gomez, Valverde didn't even mind stepping back to get the snake out of the hole, and Barcelona's counter-attack should not be underestimated, as long as Atletico's backfield exposed enough space.
Simeone almost gave up in midfield, replaced Torres and then desperately moved Saul forward, leaving Gabi alone in midfield. It's almost a life-and-death tactic, and success or failure depends on the offensive efficiency of the frontcourt.
Torres has not played much time this season, and he was obviously out of shape at the beginning, obviously unable to keep up with Pique's defensive pace, Wen Zhihao constantly tried to feed the ball behind him, but Torres was full of attacking players, and Griezmann and Saul attracted several Barcelona players. There is not even a way to get out of the ball, even though Wen Zhihao has a broad vision and extraordinary creativity, he is also powerless.
Wen Zhihao can understand the mood of everyone who wants to contribute at a critical moment, but sometimes it may not have a good effect. As the core of the organization on the field, Wen Zhihao has the responsibility to guide everyone to run more efficiently.
"Big grid, run into the penalty area!"
"Saul, lean to the wings, take the defense away, open up the space!"
"Fernando, pass more balls and cooperate more between the two of us, no problem, right?"
Antoine Griezmann and Torres had no opinion, and Saul hesitated a little and turned his head to look at Simeone in the dugout, who made a gesture to the door of his head, which was the team's code. It means listening to the core of the organization.
The situation on the pitch in the last ten minutes was not what most people expected, Simeone's gambling substitutions won Atletico Madrid an advantage on the field, Wen Zhihao and Torres still have a tacit understanding, and there is Griezmann, a big killer that cannot be ignored, although the state is not good, but it must not be completely laissez-faire. Sergio Busquets had a part of his focus on Antoine Griezmann, with Paulinho having a hard time defending Wen alone, and with Fernando Torres and Saul, Wen put his main breakthrough on the left side of Umtiti's defense, who was clearly more prone to problems than Pique. The French centre-back is not at its best.
Atletico Madrid fans did not expect that the team could have such a bloody suppression of Barcelona after the equalizer, with each round of Atletico Madrid's attack, the cheers are always higher than before, making people imagine the limit of passion.
The siege lasted five minutes before ending with Saul's long-range shot bounced off the post, a few minutes of adrenaline pumping for Atletico fans, and Saul's long-range strike made Barcelona feel the breath of death, less than three centimetres from the inside of the post in true despair.
Atletico's attack was fruitless, and Barcelona immediately turned back to counterattack, and they were quite crushed in the past few minutes. How fierce Atletico Madrid's offensive was just now, now they have to double it back!
Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back!
This time it was the turn of Atletico Madrid fans to be nervous, Barcelona's attack passed four or five times, and it threatened Atletico Madrid's goal in less than half a minute, Messi faked a real shot to deceive Godin, aimed at the lower right corner of the goal, Oblak made a full save, and his fingertips tapped the ball hard, the power was not great, but this rub was extremely critical, slightly changed the running route of the ball, and flew out of the bottom line by grazing the right post.
The Barcelona fans held their heads in their hands and were shocked by Oblak's save. Almost, that god-like little man Messi scored a textbook goal.
Garcia exclaimed, "Jan Oblak! He saved Atletico Madrid! ”
In the Beijing studio, He Wei sighed: "What a sharp counterattack! Atletico had a good fight in front and almost caught fire in the backyard. Barcelona sounded the alarm in time for Atletico. ”
Simeone's eyelids jumped, he had already calculated that his substitution might be such a price, but only a win would help the whole season, and he could only pin his hopes on the offensive end. As for defense, do your best and leave it to the fate of God......
In the final five minutes of regular time, the two sides fought for more than the accumulation of technical aspects, such as willpower and heritage. In the former, Atletico has the upper hand, and Simeone's iron-blooded spirit instills the idea of fighting to the end. Barcelona players have countless crucial experiences, and Barcelona fans are waiting for them to show their superpower.
After 85 minutes, the tempo of the game slowed down, with Barcelona having more possession of the ball, but it was not easy to push forward under the coordinated pressure of Atletico's three layers of defence, most of which were back and cross. This is also Simeone's defensive characteristic, pressing the opposing defender from the high post is not a sophisticated tactic, but it is rare to be like Atletico Madrid, regardless of whether there is a chance or not, the entire forward line collectively presses, and the midfield follows the forward line. I've heard that attacking is the best defense, but for Simeone's Atletico, it's the other way around. The limit of defense can also be offense. Break the ball directly from the feet of the opposing centre-back, and at the same time shoot three arrows at the same time. Isn't that almost the same as scoring a goal?
Umtiti was penetrated by Antoine Griezmann many times in a row today, and even the Catalan TV commentator implicitly criticized him as a time bomb in the defence, and if it weren't for Pique, Barcelona would have conceded more than one goal long ago.
Seeing that the regular time was coming to an end, it seemed that it was about to come to an end, and the time bomb of Umtiti exploded at this time, and this time it also dragged Pique into the water.
Barcelona kicked the goal ball normally, originally on the back line of the normal foot, Umtiti wanted to share the ball to Alba, but the ball was instantly supported and stepped on a grass pit, the whole person lost the center of gravity, the power of the right foot to give the ball was insufficient, but it happened to pass between the two, Saul who was ambushed around took a step ahead of Alba, Atletico Madrid's ability to counterattack on the spot was fully displayed, Saul stealed, three Atletico Madrid players have run to the Barcelona penalty area, Wen Zhihao has a hunch that Saul may reverse the triangle back pass, Taking advantage of the fact that most of the opponent's attention was on Saul, he quietly ambushed near the penalty spot, Wen Zhihao's follow-up speed was not as fast as Griezmann, but confused the opponent, Pique and Alba both felt that Saul would definitely pass to the back post to find Griezmann.
Saul, however, acted as if instinctively, pushing the ball from the gap between the two to the penalty spot, which is one of the routines that Simeone often practises when attacking, and Saul does not need to look to know that there must be a teammate in that position.
Watching the ball slowly slide towards the penalty spot, Atletico's No.15 player was unhindered by two meters of circumference, all the fans exclaimed, and the commentators were also excited.
"Ahh Wen Zhihao, chance! Chance to kill the game! ”
Many Chinese fans in front of the TV are shouting "! "Keep your eyes on the screen. Barcelona fans are entangled in whether they are willing to let Wen Zhihao score, this is a question, and it is time to test their position again......
Wen Zhihao raised his foot for the first time, Pique's long legs had already run to the ball, Wen Zhihao took a look, the moment he kicked the ball, he unloaded his power, and the ball went to the side, and the whole person blocked in front of Pique.
Pique's brain has kept up with Wen Zhihao's changes, but the inertia of his body is difficult to control, his left leg is mixed with Wen Zhihao's right calf, and Wen Zhihao fell in the penalty area without any suspense.
As a world-class central defender, how could Pique not know that this was a 100% penalty action, and after getting up from the ground, he didn't even plead, and directly made an apologetic gesture and received a yellow card at the same time.
But Pique's psychological feelings are another matter......
Nima, it's a feint again!
I deceived like this once two years ago, and I still came?
It's addictive, isn't it? Why is it me both times?
Pique is 10,000 unconvinced, but as a double champion of the European Cup and the World Cup, he was played twice by Wen Zhihao, who is less than 18 years old, who should he blame?
