Away team locker room.

The Atletico Madrid players sat separately, some put on headphones and listened to music, others closed their eyes to recuperate, and more often let the therapist massage them to soothe the tense muscles of the first half due to the intense running.

Qin Shou also had physiotherapists by his side, but not one, but two. One massaged his chest and the other helped him massage the muscles in his legs. The rush to rescue in the first half not only made Qin Shou's **** extremely hot, like a fire, but also a great burden on his feet.

The physiotherapist also wants to relax his muscles when he is massaged, so as not to overburden him, which will increase the chance of straining his muscles.

Five or six minutes later, Simeone walked into the dressing room and the players were all focused on the manager.

"No problem, Qin?"

Simone first inquired about Qin Shou's situation.

Although Qin Shou's rescue of running wildly for most of the court this time was indeed very morale-boosting and easy to make people's blood boil, Simeone, who used to be a player, knew that such an action was very dangerous and consumed too much of the player's body. He had to be nervous, if Qin Shou's physical fitness could not keep up or he could not play due to physical reasons, the loss to the team would be even greater.

However, Qin Shou's affirmative answer made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he asked the physiotherapist and the team doctor again, and the answer he got made him completely relieved.

He no longer dwelled on it and began to deploy for the second half.

'We played well in the first half and we conceded a goal, but against Barcelona it's normal to concede. I'm sure you, like me, don't think that temporary backwardness is the end of the world! ”

Simeone encouraged his players like this, he actually didn't say something in his heart, a ball is not the end of the world, but if there is no Qin Shou's rescue. At that moment they were two goals down. At half-time, at Camp Nou, they were two goals behind, not to say they would definitely lose the game, but there was an 80 per cent chance that they would not be able to come back.

'In the second half we continued to focus on counter-attacking, we had to take every opportunity to counter-attack, Barcelona's passing style of play was really good, but our scrambling and counter-attacking can also create a threat for them, I hope you can be more aggressive in pressing and create more pressure on them.'

Speaking of this, Simone looked at Qin Shou: "Qin." I need you to start plugging in more in the second half. You've been successful defensively against Messi, but while you're keeping an eye on the opposition, I want you to expand your range of movement, and in the first half the team couldn't play because the midfield was cut off and you have to change that. ”

Qin Shou nodded.

Simeone nodded in the same way, and he named a few more players to continue the set-up.

"Suarez, if Qin Shang goes up, he won't rush back as soon as possible. You need to fill in for him. ”

"Gabi, you need to run a little bit bigger, don't be afraid of fouls, don't give the opponent a chance to make a threatening pass easily."

"Godin ......"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The fifteen-minute intermission went by in a flash. Players from both teams returned to the field, and after switching sides, the game resumed.

This time it was Atletico Madrid who kicked off. After a few passes in midfield, they pulled apart Barca's midfield defence. Qin Shou rushed through the midfield with the ball.

Barcelona's midfield defense is actually somewhat similar to Atletico's, both are high volleys, and if they are grabbed, they will launch a counterattack on the spot. Of course. The strength of the two is different, Barcelona's frontcourt players are all stars, and the defense is only doing their best, while Atletico Madrid is crazy and aggressive, under Simeone's coaching, every Atletico Madrid player has done a thorough counter-attack on the spot.

Qin Shou simply changed direction and flashed Harvey who rushed over, and then accelerated the lying ball, completely leaving the other party behind. However, Qin Shou did not continue to stick the ball to his feet, Busquets posted it, he didn't want to entangle with the opponent and slow down the team's attack.

Juanfran plugged in from the side, and Qin Shou took advantage of the situation to push the football over.

Juanfran rushed forward with the ball quickly, and the player, who had switched from full-back to full-back, was at home in his current position, running wildly until he was close to the right side of the penalty area. Instead of forcing Abidal, he opted to hoist the ball 45 degrees into the box.

Simeone has two requirements for the team's attack, one is to be fast, and the other is to get more crosses from the wing. Barcelona are strong overall, but their defence against high balls is probably their only weakness. Puyol is old, Pique is often out of position for some reason, and on Atletico Madrid's side, Falcao and Costa are both strong center forwards, and they may not be without competition on the high ball.

Juanfrán's pass sent a flurry of chickens and dogs in the Barcelona penalty area. Costa and Falcao roamed around in the penalty area, leaning on defenders and jumping for the top as the ball fell. In the end, Costa beat Puyol to take the lead with the ball, but he didn't have much power to top it, and the ball hit the ground and was kicked out of the box by Alves. Qin Shou, who was following the ball, was a volley, but he didn't eat the right part and hit the plane directly.

This attack did not pose much of a threat to Barcelona, but it was very disciplined. Quickly pass through the midfield, then split the side, then pass into the penalty area, and go straight to the header when you have the opportunity, and control the second drop point of the football if you don't have the opportunity, so as to attack again.

And Atletico Madrid also used such an attack to send a signal that they are going to start attacking, instead of just being beaten and not fighting back like in the first half.

Of course, whether Atletico only take a beating and not fight back, or fight back while being beaten, this is not much difference for Barcelona, they still stick to their own pass-and-control play, and slowly look for a good opportunity to score.

In the 49th minute, Barcelona seemed to be careless in the front, after Xavi's sudden pick-up pass, Messi entered the penalty area in an offside position, and at the moment when he was about to shoot with his feet, Qin Shou rushed to the ground and blocked Messi's shot from the bottom line.

Two minutes later, Barcelona did it again. Iniesta's sudden long-range shot was punched by Courtois, and Pedro, on the left side of the box, volleyed straight away without stopping, and the ball flew off the crossbar.

Overall, Barcelona still have the upper hand in the game, but Atletico Madrid is not without attacking opportunities. While focusing on defense, the visitors also stepped up their counter-attacks.

After Pedro's shot was deflected, Courtois quickly drove the ball forward, Falcao stopped the ball, played a couple of passes with Costa, and quickly dribbled to the edge of the box to shoot from distance. The shot was powerful, but it was angled too well, and Valdés held the ball firmly in his arms.

In the fifty-fourth minute, Qin Shou and Costa, the "sworn rivals", had a tacit passing and running cooperation.

Costa was cruising on the right flank, but suddenly changed line and ran into the middle before rushing straight into the box.

And Qin Shou, who understood it, suddenly got up and passed a long time in the middle circle.

While everyone was a little baffled, the ball flew into the box and Costa just got into position.

The players in the Barcelona backline immediately raised their hands, but neither the referee nor the linesman said anything.

No offside!

It's a good shot!

Costa picked up the ball on the right side of the penalty area, dipped past the onrushing Pique, and fired a left-footed shot into the far corner against Valdés, who had already abandoned the goal.

The ball slipped under Valdés' armpit and into the goal.

1:1。

Atletico Madrid's goal came so suddenly that there was no sign at all. The fans at the Camp Nou were stunned.

Think about it, although Atletico Madrid has had several counterattacks during this time, they were all launched from the side, no one thought that Qin Shou suddenly passed straight to the middle, Costa successfully countered offside, and then ...... Just scored.

Not to mention the fans, even the commentators in the commentary box were a little overwhelmed, and it took a long time to start cheering for Costa's goal.

"A simple fit, a two-person attack! Qin passes, Costa shoots...... The ball is in! 1:1！ Atletico Madrid equalised! ”

"Atletico Madrid didn't attack much, but a sudden long pass and it scored!"

"Barcelona have to cheer up, Atletico are not a soft persimmon to be kneaded, they can currently sit in third place in the table, that proves that they are a very strong team! If Barcelona can't give their full attention, they will be punished! ”

Costa looked excited after the goal, first doing a somersault in celebration before running around the pitch with his arms raised. This time, he gave Qin Shou a rare good face, and he gave Qin Shou a thumbs up from afar, signaling that he had passed the ball well.

Qin Shou also smiled, and also gave a thumbs up, indicating that his running position was very good, and his shooting was also beautiful.

The rest of the Atletico players ran up to celebrate the goal with Costa.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Atletico's goal was sudden, and it was also a blow to the Barcelona players. So far in the game, they have always had the advantage on the field, but they didn't expect that the opponent would score a goal in a few offensive opportunities, which is really frustrating enough.

It's just that what the Barcelona players didn't expect was that what made them even more depressed was still to come.
