Chapter 179: I'm a friendly soldier

Hehe, what's the joke? I'm here to score goals! But don't be nervous, I'm not an enemy, I'm a friend, a friend!

Of course, Guan Xiaolong is just here now. In order to teach Guan Xiaolong a lesson, Lasarte firmly pressed him on the bench. The disobedient Lord will make you hold back. Besides, Guan Xiaolong is a player that Lasart really wants to acquire, but not the core that the team relies on.

If Guan Xiaolong can stay in the team and Lasarte can successfully renew his contract with the club, then he may become the core of the manager's account in the future.

But it's not possible now, to be honest, after the end of this year's contract between Lasarte and Real Sociedad, I'm afraid they will also say GOOG BYE to each other.

In short, Guan Xiaolong sat firmly on the bench and watched Gezi and Dizi play. This sheet war depends on which brand has better quality.

Guan Xiaolong was still a little entangled, do you think I support Atletico Madrid or Real Sociedad? Of course, I'm a principled person, who pays me, who I support, hehehehe!

Florence also took this away game seriously and lined up the strongest team. The original main goalkeeper was No. 1 Asenjo, but due to injury, his place was temporarily replaced by young goalkeeper David De Gea. The defenders were López, Domingos, Godin and Felipe. The midfield is very impactful, with Simão and Reyes on the wings, and Raul Garcia and Assunção in the middle. The forwards are Forlan and Sergio Aguero.

Lassalt lined up in a more balanced formation, 4231. Defenders Ansotegui and Martinez lead, with midfielders Prieto and Bergara in the lead, Rodriguez on the left, Diego Rivas in the middle, and Ilya Ramendi on the right. In the forward line, Griezmann is a single arrow.

Atletico Madrid's president Cerezo and Real Sociedad president sat together in the VIP compartment, and the two were talking and laughing, and they were in a good mood.

The front-line soldiers are fighting very hard, the chairman of the social team can visually measure the mood, the goal of the season is to relegate, and now it seems that the record is okay, and Atletico Madrid is not a feud to grab points, so he is relaxed.

Cerezo is different, he is actually a little depressed inside. The team has invested a lot recently, but the results have not been up. The arrival of people like Reyes and Simão has cost Atletico some money.

However, since the beginning of this season, Atletico Madrid's record has not been very good, and it is only ranked ninth after 11 rounds. So Cerezo also hopes to win Real Sociedad away, not to mention that in his eyes, the Sociedad team is not a hard nut.

Guzmán and the director of the social team also sat together, and the top executives of the two families gathered to watch the matchup.

When Guzmán heard about Guan Xiaolong, his first reaction was that he thought it was incredible, and according to his impression, Guan Xiaolong should not do this. But it's funny to think about, I haven't heard of any player who is addicted to rainbows. Riding a bicycle, I have seen a lot of one-armed people on the side.

Atletico Madrid opened with full firepower, and Real Sociedad gradually couldn't parry. If you want to talk about the characteristics of Atletico Madrid, there are only four words, top-heavy.

Atletico Madrid's attacking ability is very strong, even if it fights with the giants, it will not fall behind. You can often play a good offensive game against a team like Barcelona Real Madrid, and then lose by a small goal.

What's the problem? Defensively. To be precise, it should be in the back and the defender.

Because sometimes Atletico Madrid's attack is high, the back is up, and it is completely out of touch with the defenders. As a result, after being beaten on the counter-attack, the backline could only face the fierce attack of a group of attackers on the opposite side alone.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid gives people the feeling that they are strong in attack and weak in defense, and they are not a comprehensive and three-dimensional team. Atletico don't necessarily have possession of the ball for the most part of the game, but if you give him a few chances, he can turn you upside down.

Soon, Atletico had a great opportunity. Reyes crossed from the wing, Aguero headed the ball and Forlan sled a sideways volley. If Forlan hadn't been prepared enough and the ball was high, Real Sociedad would have fallen behind from the start.

Four minutes later, Atletico made a comeback. This time it was Simao's plan, a one-two on the left side, and a high ball down the bottom. Forlan leaps high to get to the point and smashes the ball home with a powerful header.

Playing away, Atletico Madrid took the lead with a strong attack in the opening game. Real Sociedad started the game as if they were no longer in shape, completely carried away by the rhythm of the other side. Atletico Madrid are good at fast attacks, and Simão and Reyes are fast horses on the wings, which really makes Real Sociedad uncomfortable.

However, Real Sociedad is playing at home, and of course they will not be beaten so passively. Diego Rivas organised an attack down the middle, infiltrated the box, and Griezmann finished the shot. Unfortunately, the ball was saved by De Gea and he couldn't find the back of the net.

This is the core of Lasarte's tactics today, which is to penetrate in the middle. Because Atletico are not a very defensive team, Florence doesn't seem to be working much on this. Therefore, Lasarte believes that Diego Rivas has the ability to play in the middle, which is one of the ways to pry the door open to Atletico.

There was an exchange of attacks between the two sides, and after Atletico took a one-goal lead, they slowed down the pace of attack. Real Sociedad was afraid of Atletico's speed and did not dare to attack too deeply, and was always on guard.

The first half ended with neither team scoring again. At halftime, Guan Xiaolong wondered if the coach would have to change people. However, Lasarte did not say anything, he did to motivate the players and believe that the players could equalise.

However, as soon as the second half began, Atletico went into nerve knife mode, with Sergio Aguero scoring the second goal. Atletico had a terrible start and often gave their opponents a surprise attack. Real Sociedad were blown up on the left and Sergio Aguero was given the chance to face the goalkeeper, who was on the scoresheet as he did.

Florence, who had a two-goal lead, raised his arms and shouted, and it seemed that the away game was basically over. Lasarte, on the other hand, frowned, facing Atletico Madrid with two goals behind, which was a more troublesome game.

Real Sociedad actually had a number of chances, but none of them were a threat from Atletico Madrid. And Lasarte found that Aguero and Forlan were too aggressive, and their defenders struggled to defend, feeling that they were about to catch up with Real Madrid's level. It is also true that Simão and Reyes are not vegetarians, and with the addition of the two top scorers in La Liga, the attack power is naturally off the charts.

With the game coming to the 58th minute, Lasarte decided to replace Diego Rivas with Guan Xiaolong. Diego Rivas's recent performances have really gotten worse and worse, and at the age of 31 this year, he has been running slower and slower in the front court, barely keeping up with the team's pace.

Replacing him was also forced by the times. Real Sociedad were counting on Rivas to play up front, but he has no stamina and is struggling with speed.

This is the purpose of pulling Salt to replace Guan Xiaolong.
