Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Difficult First Victory (I)

On the big screen at the scene, the fierce collision just now was being replayed, and on the camera, Koke on the side sent the football into the penalty area, Griezmann and Navarro jumped almost one after the other at the same time, and then the two collided together.

In the process of collusion, Navarro's swinging right elbow hit Griezmann in the forehead, and then Griezmann, who was hit hard, fell straight to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Slow motion was played repeatedly, and although it was obvious that Navarro's elbow could be seen hitting Griezmann, no one could be sure that Navarro did it on purpose, and it seemed that it was because of the unconscious swing of his hands in the scramble, and Griezmann's bad luck was hit.

And after Navarro landed, he waved his hand innocently, which seemed to prove that he was indeed unintentional.

Tens of thousands of home fans erupted in boos, but it was uncertain whether Navarro did it intentionally or unintentionally, so there weren't many of them.

The referee on duty was inclined that it was just an accident, so he only whispered a warning to Navarro, and then turned his attention to Griezmann, who had fallen to the ground.

It's just that no one noticed that the moment the referee turned around, the corners of Navarro's mouth hooked up with an inexplicable smile.

Griezmann fell to the ground in pain, his hand covering his forehead, and bright red was already oozing through his fingers. The referee realized that something was wrong and quickly signaled for the medical team outside the field to enter.

Qin Shou and the others also ran over quickly, and after finding that Griezmann's brain began to bleed, they were immediately shocked, and shouted again and again to make gestures outside the field, signaling the coaches to make a plan to replace them early.

Soon, several medical personnel entered the scene. A brief look at Griezmann's injuries was taken before he was lifted off the pitch. After a busy moment, Griezmann was finally dressed on his head and told Atletico Madrid manager Simeone about the preliminary diagnosis.

The brow bone was fractured, and a large cut was made in the door of the brain, causing the bleeding to stop. It is also accompanied by a minor concussion.

Although it is not a very serious injury, it is clear that Griezmann will not be able to continue this game.

"Bastard!"

Simone, who learned the news, opened his mouth with a foul mouth, and he didn't know that he was scolding the perpetrator David. Navarro, still venting his frustration because of Griezmann's injury.

There were already a lot of players in the squad who couldn't play for the team in time because of injuries, and now it's okay, with another injured player, it's really ...... Come to think of it. Simeone muttered another series of expletives, causing the fourth official to look in this direction.

Annoyance is annoyance, and Simeone has no choice but to replace Griezmann with Adrian.

In the minutes when Griezmann left the field injured, Atletico Madrid was at a numerical disadvantage because of the lack of one player, and Levante, who was playing away, took advantage of this period to launch a fierce attack towards the home team's half.

Their attacking routine is simple. After getting the ball, you can go straight to Pepe on the left side. Diop, and then let Pepe use his own individual ability to attack.

The Senegal international has many of the same strengths as black players. It's just that he's strong, he's fast, and he's very good at his feet compared to other African players.

Taking advantage of his strengths, Pepe continued to break through on the left wing, while Vazquez, who was strong and defensive, and a recent transfer. Fullback Gamez, who has not been able to integrate well into the team, has increased his pressure suddenly, and he has some unstoppable posture.

In the 10th minute of the first half, Pepe used his speed on the flank to leave Vazquez behind, and then crossed the ball diagonally into the box before Gámez could make up for it. Ivory Coast striker Koné flicked his header and the ball grazed the crossbar and flew off the line.

A minute later, Pepe used his physical advantage to hold Gamès and force a cross from the bottom line, this time it was Angel who grabbed the first point, and his back-of-the-way effort was narrowly saved by Courtois.

"In the minutes when Griezmann was off, Levante seized the opportunity very well, they took advantage of the numerical advantage, and the anti-visitors frequently put pressure on the home team's backline!"

"Atletico Madrid's new backline combination has exposed a lot of problems during this time, with poor coordination and unclear division of labor, which makes Levante a little unscrupulous to press the attack."

The backline was constantly tightened, and Gabi had to fight fires everywhere. Qin Shou also retreated his position and constantly filled in for his new teammates. It was precisely because of the back and forth running between him and Gabby that Levante's newly rising offensive flame was finally suppressed.

And the price is that during this time, Atletico Madrid has achieved nothing in attack, and even football has not scored half a time, and it has almost come to a standstill.

A few minutes later, Adrian, who had finished his warm-up, stood on the sidelines, and the fourth official held up the electronic card for the substitution. Taking advantage of a dead ball, Adrian entered the pitch.

'Atletico Madrid made a substitution, with Adrian replacing Antoine Griezmann, who left injured. The home team was unlucky, as they had to make non-tactical adjustments shortly after the game began. ”

"I have a hunch that Atletico Madrid seems likely to be the first well-known sanatorium in Europe in the new season......"

"Atletico Madrid is in a dangerous situation at this time, Adrian is on the pitch and the home team will not be at a disadvantage, at least in terms of numbers."

Commentators from various TV stations had mixed opinions about the substitution, while the fans in the stands gave a round of applause to the new Adrian, hoping that he would perform well.

And the Atletico five-man group of "sit in a row and eat fruits" looked at Thiago collectively again.

"It's a replacement, it's really a lot of twists and turns! Thiago, your mouth is better than Bailey! ”

"Crow's beak!"

"Poison in the mouth!"

Juanfran made mockery of the new prophecy Tiago, Carrasco opened his mouth, and wanted to despise it, but after thinking about his new signing, let's save some face for the old-timers.

Even so, Thiago was so depressed that he wanted to tuck his head between his legs.

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

After the substitution, Atletico Madrid did not have a disadvantage in the number of people on the field, but the process of the game did not go very smoothly.

On the one hand, because Levante's left side is very active, even with Gabi's help, in the face of Pepe's continuous impact, Atletico Madrid's left side is also a little tight, no way, Pepe's body is excellent, he is not afraid of Vazquez and Gabi at all, and in terms of speed, he threw two people a few streets, Pepe often either carries the two with his body, or just walks the ball forward, and then crosses with his feet.

This style of play is really uncomfortable for Vazquez and Gabi.

On the other hand, there is Atletico Madrid's own problems. Although Qin Shou is constantly running back and forth in the midfield, connecting with each other, it is impossible for Qin Shou to be exhaustive, and when the defenders pass the ball to the front, sometimes there will always be mistakes, either the pass is big, or they don't understand the thoughts of their teammates, and they directly pass the football away.

As a result, Qin Shou had to turn around and run back to assist in defense, plus he had to wipe Gabi and Vazquez's butts from time to time, which caused the team's offensive to not get up. And Vazquez's flank, which was suppressed, could not effectively use the attack to create too much pressure on the opponent.

And without Qin Shou's tandem and scheduling in the frontcourt, Cork and Adrian can only fight alone. But they are not the kind of players who are like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and they can't pose much of a threat to the opposition backline.

If you can't put some pressure on the opponent on offense, then it is obvious that you can't open the situation for a long time.

But fortunately, Atletico Madrid's defense is quite stable, under the active running of Qin Shou and Gabi, although the Atletico Madrid defense has made a lot of mistakes, the players are very active, and they immediately counter-rob when they lose the ball, but they don't give the opponent too many opportunities.

Before Qin Shou joined Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid's defense had always been criticized. Of course, the criticism is not that their defense is bad, but that their defense is so good that it makes people speechless.

There is nothing surprising about Atletico Madrid's defense, to put it bluntly, it is the whole court pressing, and all the players are running wildly. This kind of defensive method, many teams in La Liga will, and they do the same.

But compared to Atletico Madrid, their running is nothing in comparison. Atletico Madrid can run continuously for 90 minutes without stopping, while other teams often run crazy for half the court, and the physical strength of the team is exhausted, and the team with better fitness will run for 60 minutes.

This is a tactic tailored for the team after Simeone took office, at that time Atletico Madrid did not have big stars, there were no outstanding players, and if they wanted to produce results, they could only use this way. I may not be able to beat you in terms of strength, I make up for it by running. It doesn't matter if I can't beat you, you can kill you if I run away!

Many teams are very uncomfortable when they play against Atletico Madrid, the feeling of the strong team is depressed, and they are tired of being tired of the omnipresent running of Atletico Madrid players, while the weak team, if they want to fight against Atletico Madrid, they must run equally actively, and as a result, they collapsed physically in the second half of the game and were killed by Atletico Madrid.

And now Atletico Madrid is a bit of the style of the past, because of such and such problems, there is no achievement in attack, so they focus on steals and interceptions, and Levante has played well during this time, almost equal to Atletico Madrid, and it is exchanged for huge physical consumption.

Atletico Madrid is now going to use procrastination, first hide their shortcomings, and wait for the opponent to run can't run, and then give the opponent a fierce blow.
