Chapter 54: Captain
In the 57th minute of the game, Costa's goal changed the score to 3:1, and Atletico Madrid's lead was extended to two goals.
For Barcelona's players, this goal hit them harder, they gritted their teeth and insisted on a goal gap, and they still had confidence in the equalizer, but now they are two goals behind, and there are fewer people on the field, how can this game be played?
These giant players can't help but have thoughts of the invincibility of their opponents in their hearts.
What's more, this goal also made the team think differently, the players in the front court want to attack and close the score gap as soon as possible, while the players in the back court want to defend solidly so as not to be scored more goals by the opponent. is already two goals behind, and if you lose another goal, you won't have to lose the game by a big score, which is undoubtedly a shame for a giant like Barcelona.
This disunity of thought was especially evident after the restart of the game, with each of the front and back playing its own way, resulting in a somewhat disjointed three lines.
And the momentum of Atletico Madrid is calm opponent during this chaotic period, continue to actively launch an offensive, intending to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop - it is advisable to chase the poor man with the remaining bravery, and the water dogs are in front of him.
The surging offensive wave after wave hit the away team in the half, and Atletico Madrid had completely suppressed Barcelona on the field, and even Atletico Madrid's two full-backs almost turned into full-backs, simply staying in the front court to participate in the attack.
"Oooh, Atletico Madrid have gone completely crazy, they are chasing around the Barcelona half!"
"It's something you rarely see in Barcelona, or there aren't many teams in football today that can make the Cosmos so embarrassed. But today, Atletico Madrid did it! ”
"Here we go again! Qin!! After the midfield breakaway, he passed the ball to the wing and Juanfran crossed...... Wow, Falcao's header went over the crossbar...... Almost. The gap in the score will be widened again! ”
Gabi rushed up...... Shoot straight from the feet...... Valdés made a great save! ”
The commentators screamed and the home fans cheered - such a scene was not expected by anyone before the game, Barcelona's strength is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although Atletico Madrid has been in very good form in recent times, but there are still more people who are optimistic about Barcelona winning this game, even the most hardcore Atletico Madrid fans even if they have fantasized that the team can win, but they never dare to think that the team will completely suppress the opponent in such a ferocious way.
Pep Guardiola had an anxious look on his face, walking impatiently back and forth on the sidelines, shouting loudly from the players on the pitch from time to time, and never heard the gestures.
He saw the chaos in the team. In a hurry, he wanted to stabilize the team through his on-the-spot command, but it was clear that it didn't have much effect, Atletico Madrid didn't give Barcelona a chance to stand firm at all, and the ferocious attack gave them no time to breathe.
Guardiola felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time, even against a strong opponent like Real Madrid, he had always maintained a determination to win, but now ......
"The tide is over!"
A word flashed through Pep Guardiola's head.
And the phrase quickly became a reality.
In a frantic offensive. Barcelona finally couldn't stand it, and in the 69th minute, Atletico Madrid once again seized the hole in Barcelona's defense, and Qin Shou broke through on the side. Shake Alves to the ground with a crushing momentum, and then cross decisively.
Pique did keep up with Costa this time and didn't give the opposition a chance to shoot. However, Costa managed to get the ball to the back post thanks to Pique's interference, and Turan smashed it out of the crowd. In the confusion, he kneaded the ball into Valdés' goal.
4:1!
The die is cast!
With a three-goal lead, even if Barcelona fought back desperately, it would not help.
"Alda! Alda! Alda! Alda. Turan also scored! Sixty-ninth minute. Atletico Madrid turned the score into 4:1! The win is decided! Atletico Madrid wins! ”
"The mighty Universe Invincible has sunk at Calderón Stadium!"
"It was a good game! It's a classic game! Intense, hot, red card, yellow card, classic goal...... All the plots needed for a classic game are there! It's a game that will be remembered for a long time! ”
"Barcelona doesn't stand a chance! They want revenge and can only look forward to the second leg of the league at Camp Nou in the second half of the season! ”
While the commentators were all screaming and jumping up from their seats and shouting wildly, the Calderón Stadium once again erupted in heat enough to completely melt everything in the world, and the fans all stood up from their seats, raised their hands and shouted wildly.
Just one sentence, or even one sentence -
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"We have won! We beat the mighty Barcelona! ”
Simeone also shouted "win" with his arms raised on the sidelines, and not only him, but all the Atletico staff and substitutes were almost doing the same thing.
On the other side of the away dugout, Pep Guardiola has sat back. It's already 1:4, and in this game, there can be no more miracles.
He restrained the confusion and frustration in his eyes, whispered a few words to the assistant coach Villanova on the side, and then sat quietly in his position and said no more.
He's completely given up on this game.
Soon, Vilanova appeared on the sidelines with two substitutes. The fourth official also played the electronic card of substitution, S. Keita and Cesc Fabregas came on to replace Andres Iniesta and Alexis Sanchez respectively.
With this substitution, Barcelona's intention is obvious, which is to stabilize the midfield and strengthen the defense. They don't want to concede any more goals.
This season's Barcelona transfer bid king Cesc Fabregas is complicated at the moment, Qin Shou, who was once forced by him to leave Arsenal, was in this game, his two goals and two assists, and the team he played for was full of holes.
Think about yourself again, leaving Arsenal, not only is it the same as your former mentor and friends, but you are desperate to return to Barcelona, but you can't even guarantee the main position, you can only play in the garbage time of the game, think about this treatment......
"Alas~"
Fabregas sighed heavily, shook his head, and looked at the familiar but unfamiliar cheek in the distance, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face.
With three goals in hand, Atletico Madrid also slowed down the pace of attack, and the players were greatly tested for nearly 70 minutes of large-scale running. Before, I was fighting hard with Barcelona with a breath, but now that the victory is decided, this breath is relieved, and the feeling of tiredness gradually comes to the hearts of most people.
Simeone began to deploy his troops, and Falcao was replaced by Suarez. It didn't take long for captain Gabi to suffer from foot cramps because he fought too hard, Simeone used up the last substitution, and Dominguez replaced Gabi off.
When Gabby limped off the pitch, the fans saluted the veteran with the biggest cheers and applause for the team.
And after Gabi left the field, the applause at Calderón Stadium did not stop, but became more violent.
Everyone clearly saw that Domingos, under the instruction of Gabi, took the captain's armband and ran towards Qin Shou.
Then, Dominguez solemnly put the armband on Qin Shou's left arm.
Qin Shou was a little stunned.
He looked up at the sidelines.
Gabby smiled and gave him a thumbs up with a smile under the support of the assistant coach, and Simeone on the side also applauded lightly with a smile on his face.
It's like a kind of inheritance, and in addition to glory, there is also a heavy responsibility.
Qin Shou touched the captain's armband on his left arm, patted the Atletico emblem on his left chest with his hand, and nodded with a smile.
The large electronic screen at the scene clearly showed this scene of inheritance to the audience.
The cheers and applause were even more earth-shattering.
"Qin put on the captain's armband!"
"He's the new captain of Atletico Madrid! In Gabi's absence, he is the absolute leader of this team! ”
"Don't give in! China's Qin is indispensable! I am so honored that a leader has been born in front of my eyes! ”
This scene also made many commentators sigh with emotion. Atletico Madrid has always had a tradition of outstanding young players as captains of the team, and when Gabi was not present, Qin Shou, the absolute core of the team, took over the captain's armband, which is a matter of absence. Of all the Atletico Madrid players on the field, there is no one more qualified to be the leader of the first team than Qin Shou.
His teammates all smiled and gave their new captain a thumbs up, and Costa raised his head and muttered "He's in the limelight again", but there was little resistance in his heart.
He is stubborn, although he is not happy with Qin Shou, but Qin Shou is the first person to subdue him with his fists, rather than a player who is submissive in front of him to be the captain, it is better to dare to be the captain of Qin Shou on his bar.
Fabregas's face in the distance was even more complicated, looking at Qin Shou, he seemed to see himself back then, after Henry left the team, the young man wore the captain's armband in the expectation of the professor, and also shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading the team's revival.
It's just that he has become a top star, but Arsenal still hasn't been able to show the glory of the past. What's even more shameful is that he became a deserter and left the stadium that loved him and supported him.
"Boy, do a good job, I hope you won't become a deserter like me!"
Cesc Fabregas said this in his heart and did not look back, returning to the team's half, ready to fight for his new club.
