Chapter 158: The body is like a meteor and the steps are like a hammer
The game was in a stalemate, and the two sides began a fierce battle in the midfield, and you played back and forth extremely lively.
In this stalemate, everyone would probably think that Atletico Madrid had to defend with all their strength to stop Bayern's attack. But there are two people who don't think so.
One is Simeone, the head coach of Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid's tactical style of play was built by him, and he naturally knows the strengths and weaknesses of this team. In the past, Atletico Madrid's ability to rely on the overall defense was very good, but there were obvious shortcomings in attack. This is also the reason why Atletico Madrid defended well in previous seasons, but did not achieve much good results. Defending only allows them to concede fewer points, but it can't make them score more. It's normal to not win the championship.
But after Qin Shou joined, this point has been fundamentally changed. Not to mention Qin Shou's super fast speed and super personal ability, let's just say that Qin Shou's accurate long pass is simply a powerful weapon for counterattacking.
In fact, Costa, Koke, Turan, including the newly rising popular fried chicken Griezmann, these players have very good individual abilities, but no one has connected them in the past, and no one has passed the ball to them, plus they sacrificed their offensive ability for the overall benefit of the team, so Atletico Madrid has not scored many goals.
But Qin Shou's organization and passing can knead them together very well, and with Qin Shou's continuous cannonball support, they can be said to be like fish in water in counterattacks.
The current Atletico Madrid can be described as solid in defense and sharp in counterattack, which is the capital of their competition with many European giants.
At the moment, the game was in a stalemate, but Simeone was not in a hurry at all. This is their most familiar and favorite rhythm, Qin Shou must not be silent for too long, maybe he will hold back his bad preparations at this time, and use counterattacks to make Bayern Munich feel good.
Another person who doesn't think so is naturally the person concerned, Qin Shou. Before he became famous, he was born as a defensive midfielder, so he is no stranger to dropping back to the half court to assist the team's defense. But retreat, he didn't forget to observe the situation all the time, he was just waiting for an opportunity, as long as there was a good opportunity to counterattack, he would immediately call his teammates, rush up together and give the other party a heavy punch.
In the twenty-fifth minute of the first half, the counterattack opportunity that Qin Shou was waiting for finally came.
Bayern Munich had another shot on goal, which was blocked by Courtois and won a corner.
In fact, the two most powerful weapons to break through the dense defense are resolute breakthroughs, and the other is set-pieces. Bayern Munich's ace Robben couldn't play in this game, leaving only one Ribery, but he was alone, and was watched to death by Atletico Madrid's defenders, as for the Swiss star Shakiri who was pinned on by people, he still didn't talk about him, and he played for more than 20 minutes in the first half, and basically didn't see him show his face in front of the camera, and he had already fallen into the sea of Atletico Madrid's defense.
If you can't break through this path, you can only rely on set-pieces to score.
In Bayern's team, there are many good headers, and Mario is tall. Gomez, Gustavo at the back, Dante at centre-back, Van Bitten...... Including Thomas, who plays as a winger. Muller, they all have good header ability, and in the Bundesliga, they often stage good headers.
Atletico are aware of this, so they are careful not to give their opponents too many set-piece opportunities in the game. So Bayern didn't get too many corner kick opportunities, counting this one, so far, it's the second corner.
It's rare to have a good opportunity, so Bayern's tall men all poured into the Atletico penalty area, pushing and shoving, vying for a strong position.
"I really don't have a long memory! Hey! ”
Qin Shou glanced at the crowded forbidden area of his house, and glanced at the backfield that seemed a little empty on the opposite side without a trace, and whispered in his mouth: "Don't get out of the siege, don't fall under my feet, otherwise, hum, hehe......"
muttered counter-words in his mouth, but Qin Shou didn't enter the forbidden area to join in the fun, not far from the front of the forbidden area, not only waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, but also preparing to compete for the second landing point at all times.
Soon, Tony. Kroos takes the corner.
Bayern had a big advantage in terms of height, with high striker Mario jumping up to grab the first point, but Godin interfered with him closely, and he couldn't finish shooting, so he could only rub the football and try to create chaos in the Atletico penalty area.
Indeed, as he thought, the football staggered in the narrow area of the penalty area, and the two sides fought back and forth nervously and fiercely, and finally Muller completed the shot, he fell to the ground and tackled the ball into the goal.
However, Courtois was also quick to react, and the moment Muller fell to the ground, he immediately pounced. Muller's tackle hit him right and the ball was held securely by Courtois.
This attack by Bayern is the end of it.
However, Atletico's counterattack has only just begun.
Courtois did not hesitate at all, holding the football and quickly bounced off the ground, like an American football player, he rushed forward with the football, dodging the opponent and his own players all the way, and finally stopped at the edge of the penalty area, and threw the football vigorously with a standard discus throwing action.
"Fight back! Counterattack!! Counterattack!!! ”
With the football flying into the air, there was the almost hoarse roar of Courtois.
The spirits of the commentators were suddenly shaken, and they shouted one after another.
"It's coming! Here it comes!! Atletico's quick counter-attack is coming! ”
"I'll just say it! Only defending and not counterattacking, isn't it Atletico Madrid's style! ”
"Bayern pressed this time, the defense is very empty, this is a great opportunity for Atletico Madrid to counterattack!"
"Look at this ball first, the football flew towards Qin, China Qin is struggling forward, he is almost past the middle circle...... Well, Courtois threw the ball really hard this time......"
In fact, Qin Shou has always felt that Courtois's behavior was a bit stupid. You say fight back, just fight back, for fear that others don't know, you have to shout a few words when throwing the ball, do you say this is two?
Qin Shoudu "criticized" Courtois several times, "sneaking into the village, don't shoot guns", but Courtois just didn't change his life, and he also said: "This is called imposing!" ”
This time it was the same, this time the counterattack came very suddenly, and the Bayern players were a little stunned, but they were frightened by Courtois's yell, and then turned around and ran towards the backfield.
But it's useless, Qin Shou's speed is not comparable to them, plus Qin Shou started first for so long, they can't catch up if they want to, they can only follow behind the ass and eat ashes!
As soon as Qin Shou passed the middle circle, the football fell. During the run, the right foot and the outside of the foot were smooth, and the football was taken down, and the speed did not decrease, and the person continued to sprint forward with the ball.
At the same time, Costa and Griezmann, who had been cruising in the front, also made quick moves and strode forward.
At the moment, there are only three players left in Bayern's backfield, central midfielder Martinez and full-back Raphinha, and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Costa, Griezmann, Qin Shou, not counting Neuer, Atletico Madrid has formed a three-on-two situation.
How do you look at this, it's a bit of a bully. After all, the attacking players are the one who takes the initiative, and now the number is still superior, and Bayern's situation can be described as extremely dangerous.
And Qin Shou didn't let this excellent counterattack opportunity fail, his high-speed dribbling quickly approached Martinez, Martinez had no way to retreat, he could only step forward and force it, Qin Shou didn't entangle with him, and directly passed the football to Griezmann in front of him.
Antoine Griezmann dribbled forward and Costa sprinted towards the box.
Raphinha looked a little at a loss, not knowing whether to keep an eye on Antoine Griezmann with the ball or to play with Costa. However, Griezmann made the decision for him and quickly ran for him with the ball.
Looking at Griezmann who was getting closer and closer, Raphinha could only be heartbroken, he didn't care about it for the time being, and he couldn't care about Costa, so he rushed towards the French striker.
Griezmann didn't play with him either, raising his left foot to rub the ball up. The target of the pass was none other than Costa, who was unmarked on the line of the penalty area.
"Antoine Griezmann passes!"
"Bayern have no one to defend Costa, one-on-one!"
"Neuer is out of the door!"
Costa jumped up to see who could touch the ball first!"
Griezmann passed an air ball and Costa had to jump up to get it. Neuer is worthy of being "striker Neuer", "midfielder Neuer" and "defender Neuer", seeing that the situation is not good, he abandoned the door and rushed out at the first time.
Although he is farther away from the football, he has an advantage as a goalkeeper in that he can use his hands, he jumps high in the middle of the run, stretches his fists, and is about to hit the football in the air.
Costa is also not a vegetarian, so naturally he will not watch such a good counterattack opportunity be destroyed. However, at this time he had his back to the goal, even if he touched the football first, he could not complete the first shot under the interference of Neuer, Costa reacted quickly, he shook his head, rubbed the football first, and pushed the football back.
The football fell to the back, and at this time, a red-white shadow flashed, and then the football struck the figure fiercely, like a cannonball, whistling in the direction of the goal.
The football rushed past Costa and Neuer, and they could even hear the sound of the wind from the violent friction between the football and the air.
And then ......
Football, already in the net!
It turned out that Qin Shou, who was following up, just arrived, and in the face of Costa's return ball, he didn't think about it, and he didn't make any adjustments, and the ball was a blast!
It's really like a meteor and a hammer! The audience was speechless! (To be continued.) )
