Chapter 30: A Difficult First Victory (Part II)
. Atletico Madrid's "procrastination" has received a good effect, and after Levante attacked for a while, he did not find a good opportunity to score, and gradually, he began to be a little lacking in fitness.
The most obvious manifestation is that Pepe's assist on the left side is not as aggressive as before. Especially after 30 minutes of the first half, Vazquez even stuck on the opponent's breakthrough route, Pepe couldn't sprint, and finally either forced the breakthrough and was cut off by Vazquez, or he could only pass the ball.
Pepe, who rushed the most happily and fiercely, was instigated, and the other Levante players who were running all over the field were not good, and they wanted to continue to fight against Atletico Madrid, but they were a little more than willing and insufficient.
It was from this time that Atletico Madrid gradually began to exert its strength.
In the 33rd minute, Pepe once again won the ball on the wing and tried to break through, but was cut off by a clever defender of Vazquez. Vazquez handed the ball to Qin Shou in the middle, and he quickly sprinted forward along the side.
Vazquez just rushed to the vicinity of the bottom line, Qin Shou's pass was just right, and Vazquez did not hesitate and crossed directly.
The pass was high and floating, and after rushing past the penalty spot, Adrian finally got to the spot. He raised his foot to volley against the football, but under Navarro's interference, he failed to exert his strength, and the football was pounced by goalkeeper Navas and pressed under him.
Two minutes later, Atletico Madrid made a comeback.
The attack was still launched from Levante's left side, Vazquez and Qin Shou made a collision with the wall and rushed to the right side of the penalty area with the ball. He easily shook the ball past the oncoming Calabellas and slammed the ball across the middle.
Coke, who was keeping up, won the ball and shot angrily, and the ball hit the side-netting.
The fans at the scene erupted in cheers, and they thought the football had scored. After all, from the point of view from the stands. A soccer ball in the side-netting looks like it's in the goal.
It turned out that there was no change in the score on the electronic scoreboard on the spot, and then watching the slow-motion replay, it turned out to be an empty joy.
However, the fans continued to applaud and cheer the team, and during this time, Atletico Madrid's offensive became more and more threatening. This has given fans a sense that it seems that the time to score is not far off.
"A defending champion is a defending champion! Although many of the main players could not play, and they suffered non-combat attrition at the beginning of the game, in terms of strength, it is still not comparable to a crane tail team like Levante. As soon as Atletico Madrid exerts its strength, Levante only has the ability to parry! β
"Levante was very active in the opening stages, but this time gradually faded down. What I'm trying to say is, playing with Atletico Madrid, are you sure you have no problems with your head? β
"Huh. I'm very interested in Pepe. Diop is more interested in the player. It has been said before that Pepe, who is full of fitness, is a first-class player, and this has been fully demonstrated in the first 30 minutes of the game. Pepe, who has been in a state of declining fitness, is a second-rate or even third-rate player, and he's been shown to be a terrible mess β as well as that. β
"Regardless, Atletico Madrid, playing at home, have gradually taken control of the game. Speaking of which, I have to express my appreciation for Qin again. He used his super organizational and scheduling skills to pinch this half-crippled Atletico lineup together. At least in attacking midfield, Atletico are getting more and more fluid. This is an amazing player. β
As the clock went on, the game turned in favor of the home team.
The fans cheered and cheered for their team, and the expressions on the faces of Juanfran and others gradually became relaxed.
"If you go on like that, you should be able to score goals in no time."
"Our offensive has completely suppressed the opponent, and Levante is still not strong."
"If you change to Real Madrid or Barcelona. I guess in the first 30 minutes when we were at a disadvantage, maybe we would have scored first. Alas, this is the difference between the strong and the weak. β
Costa also expressed his opinion, of course, he still looks like a stinky fart: "Adrian is still a lot worse. If it were me, I guess I would have helped the team take the lead a long time ago, and his ability to waste opportunities is too strong. β
The crowd was noncommittal about his boasting, and the prophecy Tiago thought for a moment and said: "Anyway, the situation is under control, and I think there should be no problem with scoring goals." But we also have to note that Levante hasn't given up on resisting yet, and I'm afraid they're still going to give us trouble, and I think ......"
Thiago wanted to continue, but felt that the four eyes seemed to be about to kill him, and seeing the angry eyes of his teammates, he wisely chose to shut up.
I have to say that Thiago really has the potential to become the new octopus Paul, and his "prophecy" has really come true in less than five minutes after he came out.
Well, it was the goal and the trouble, almost at the same time, that became a reality.
The clock was 40 minutes into the first half, and the game had entered the end of the half. It was at this time that Atletico Madrid launched another wave of attacks.
After a successful break down the flank, Cork didn't send the ball straight into the box. Atletico Madrid kept trying to play with wide crosses, but it turned out that the effect was not good, because there was only one striker on the field, Adrian was not the kind of strong center forward with height and physique, and it was difficult for him to compete for the first place under the close defense of the opposing defenders. Even if you grab it, the shot doesn't pose much of a threat.
Cork waited on the side for a while, and after seeing Qin Shou running up from the midfield, he immediately sent the football over. With Atletico Madrid's on-field formation in this game, it is still necessary to choose ground cooperation and the playing style of penetration in the middle will be more threatening.
Koke's passing intent was obvious, so after the ball was passed, Levante's two defenders ran quickly in the direction of the ball's roll. After a season, all La Liga teams have realized that Atletico Madrid's core Chinese Qin is a top player no less than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and they naturally dare not relax for such a player who has the power to change the outcome of the game.
And now Cork unabashedly passed the football to Qin Shou. Levante's defenders naturally became more nervous, and they couldn't leave the Levante player in the room, while the other two defenders who ran over, one wanted to go around and press, and the other was stuck in Qin Shou's passing path to prevent Qin Shou from creating opportunities for other Atletico Madrid players.
Three players are surrounded by a trap. This kind of treatment can be described as a very high standard. However, Qin Shou suddenly didn't realize it, and rushed over to meet the rolling football.
"Oh oh, Koke passes, Qin rushes over to catch the ball!"
"The three Levante players have formed a trap trend, and it seems that China Qin is in trouble! I don't know how Qin will resolve this strict defense! β
There was a commentator in the commentary booth who screamed.
In the next second, Qin Shou gave the answer.
Facing the fast-rolling football, Qin Shou raised his foot and made a gesture to stop the ball. It was only when the soccer ball passed under his feet that his raised right foot still did not fall, and the soccer ball rolled past him without hindrance.
The Levante players who came to offer did not expect that Qin Shou did not choose to stop the ball at all. was shaken by his sudden leak. By the time they reacted and looked back, Gabi had already rushed up from behind, kicked the ball and rushed directly into the penalty area.
"Sudden leak! What a stroke of genius! β
"This leak of Chinese Qin has played three defensive players! Pretty! β
"The unguarded Gabby took the ball away and he rushed into the box with the ball! Levante's goal is in danger! β
Because Qin Shou pinned down a number of defensive players. So Gabi easily took the football into the penalty area.
Gabi is a central midfielder who is known for his defence, so after entering the box. His first instinct was to look up at his team-mate's position and try to spread the ball away and create opportunities for them to score.
However, Adrian was very closely watched by the Levante defenders, and Vazquez only inserted in from the wing at this time, and as for Koke, he was still outside the left side of the box. There is no one around to defend him, but what is the use of passing it to him, is it possible to let him hit the door directly in such a far away place and in such a small space?
The teammates didn't run out of good positions, and Gabi had to choose to come on his own.
A few years flashed through my head. Gabi made a move to raise his foot and shoot at goal.
However, because of his upward observation, he was delayed for some time, although it was short, short to the point of imperceptibility, but it still gave Levante's defenders time to rush up.
Navarro, who was closest to Gabi, rushed over as fast as he could, and as Gabi lifted his foot, he threw himself out and slid to the ground, with a fierce expression on his face and his sneakers pointing upwards, revealing the spikes.
Navarro's calculations were loud, and in the face of his ferocious flying tackle, you Gabi would either give up this chance to shoot or wait for me to shovel out.
Of course, Navarro still has the idea that even if he can't stop your shot, he will hurt you - as for why there is such a dirty behavior, ha, I, Navarro is the worst man in La Liga, do I need a reason to do this? Of course, how to make you scared how to come!
Gabby didn't expect Navarro's tackle to come so quickly and so resolutely, he didn't even have time to react, and he didn't even have time to jump away, Navarro's spikes were already in front of him, and then ...... Navarro's spikes hung on his supporting legs, and Gabi felt a piercing pain in his left foot, and then his left foot went limp, and he fell to the ground.
Tens of thousands of eyes in the stadium clearly saw Navarro's ferocious and malicious flying tackle, and also saw Gabi fall to the ground in pain, and suddenly the entire CalderΓ³n stadium fell into silent silence.
The referee's whistle also sounded at this time, extremely abrupt and sharp.
