Chapter 171: Crisis
The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly. After the two sides returned to the pitch and exchanged venues, the game resumed.
As in the first half, Bayern Munich, who were playing at home, entered the attacking time from the beginning of the second half. It's also easy to understand that, despite scoring a goal in the first half, they were still 2-4 down on aggregate. The difference between the two goals is not small, especially when the opponent is heavily defending, and the further the game drags on, the more it is against them.
They will have to score again as quickly as possible to close the gap again so that their hopes of progression will be greater.
Atletico Madrid is still defending step by step, finding an opportunity to quickly counterattack, quite a "he is strong, he is strong, the breeze blows the hill" indifferent attitude, no matter how fierce the opponent attacks, they do not panic, do a good job of defense, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack, is their firm tactics in this game.
As mentioned earlier, in the football world, there is no team that can go 90 minutes without making mistakes, without a little bit of attention, and Atletico Madrid's defense is very good, but they can't do it without making the slightest mistake. And Bayern pressed on the attack, and there must be an omission behind him. Although in the first half they paid attention to protecting the backfield and blocking Atletico's counterattack, this is not a long-term solution after all, and no matter how focused they are, there are times when they can't take care of it.
And Atletico is waiting for the opportunity that Bayern can't take care of.
And such an opportunity did not wait long.
In the eleventh minute of the second half, that is, in the fifty-sixth minute of the game, Ribery's breakthrough with the ball was suddenly blocked, and Qin Shou turned around to chase and broke his ball with Juanfran teamed up. Juanfran did not covet the ball, and stabbed the football to Qin Shou in front of him.
Qin Shou received the ball on the side, and Kroos stepped forward quickly. Qin Shou flexibly pulled the ball and turned around, and with a light buckle, he wiped Kroos without pausing, and went directly to Costa in the front court in the backcourt.
This is the most common fast counter-attacking style of Atletico Madrid, Qin Shou's passing is accurate, and Costa has speed and body to be able to hold the ball, although the two have a poor relationship in private, but on the court, they can be described as the best partners.
This time too, Costa grabbed Dante with his body and got up to stop the ball with his chest. His second reaction was also very fast, and after hitting the ground, without waiting for Dante to stretch his foot to interfere, he used the heel of his right foot to knock the ball down, and the ball rolled diagonally to the left, and Carrasco followed in time to smooth the ball away.
Because of this cooperation, Bayern's backfield was exposed.
"Qin's long biography...... Go straight to Costa! ”
"Costa holds the ball, knocks it with his heel, Carrasco follows and takes the ball away......"
"Carrasco! Nice fit! He was fast and sprinted straight towards Bayern's penalty area! This is a great counter-attack opportunity for Atletico Madrid! ”
There was a commentator in the commentary seat who exclaimed.
The home fans in the stands also watched nervously at the stadium, and many silently drew crosses on their chests and prayed to God.
Bayern coach Heynckes also had a solemn face, staring at the pitch without blinking. In fact, he also knew that such a desperate onslaught was like gambling, and if they won, they would regain hope of promotion, and if they lost, they would have to wait until next year to clean up the old mountains and rivers - but this is also a matter of no choice, they have no choice but to gamble desperately, there is no other way for them to gamble.
Carrasco took advantage of the large space in Bayern's backfield, and the young Belgian striker was extremely fast, sprinting with the ball and rushing to the edge of the box.
Costa ran longitudinally, but Dante followed him and Carrasco hesitated to pass the ball. It is this hesitation that gives Bayern the opportunity to make up for the defense.
Carrasco was ready to shoot directly from the edge of the penalty area, but before his right foot could hit the football, a red figure fell to the ground and flew into the shovel, and the next moment, Carrasco kicked it into the air, and he immediately understood that the football had been shoveled.
The hero who saved Bayern was Boateng, who played with Robben in this game. The young German centre-back didn't hesitate to throw his body out of the way as soon as Carrasco got to his feet and narrowly shoveled the ball away with his foot.
"Oooo Nice clean tackle! Boateng, he saved Bayern Munich! ”
Carrasco was just a little hesitant, but for a high-level defender, that time was enough. Atletico Madrid's great counter-attack opportunity ended in nothing! ”
"It's a pity, Atletico Madrid had the opportunity to kill the suspense of the game directly!"
There were sighs of regret from the commentators' seats.
On the field, Boateng didn't look at Carrasco, who was still in a daze, quickly got up from the ground, caught up with the football, and then quickly pushed the football to the feet of Kroos in front of him.
Kroos didn't stop the ball either, handing the ball to Robben on the right.
Atletico Madrid's counterattack invested a lot of troops, but they didn't keep up, like Qin Shou was only halfway through the run, he found that the football was stealed, he reacted quickly, immediately turned around and ran back, and opened his mouth to signal his teammates to quickly return to defense: "Pay attention to their counterattack, return to defense!" ”
But it was too late.
The tide has turned, with Bayern becoming extremely favourable to attack, while Atletico have gone from counter-attacking to being counter-attacked.
Robben didn't give Atletico a chance to breathe, a superstar of his caliber knows very well that the opportunity is fleeting, and if the Atletico players return to the defense and reorganize the defence, then it will be difficult for Bayern's attack to get in.
Robben took small steps, quickly changed his direction and cut in, and went straight to the penalty area.
However, it was only a feint, and after attracting two defenders, Robben suddenly blocked with the outside of his left foot and the ball raced diagonally into the box from the left. Ribery suddenly appeared like a ghost, cleverly rushed into the penalty area, received the ball, turned, volleyed, and acted in one go.
At such close range, Courtois had no choice but to watch the ball slip through the right side of his body into the back of the net.
2:0!
In the 60th minute of the game, Ribery scored a goal to help Bayern lead 2:0 in this game, and the total score gap between the two sides was only one.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The ball went in...... The goal was scored by Frank. Ribery! It's a superstar and superstar collaboration, and the Robery combination is powerful! Nice counterattack! Beautiful goal! ”
"It's incredible! With more than half an hour left in the game, Bayern Munich is truly hoping to advance! ”
"The game has been reversed and Atletico Madrid has become dangerous! Their advantage is shrinking dramatically, and most importantly, this goal is sure to be a serious blow to their morale! The next game is interesting! ”
"2:0, will Atletico Madrid's unbeaten golden body this season be ended today? Will Bayern be the first team to beat Atletico this season? ”
Calderón Stadium is also boiling again. Countless home fans bounced up from their seats, cheering and waving slogans and flags in their hands, and shouting wildly.
"The ball is in! The ball is in again! We're just one goal away! ”
"It only takes one goal for us to knock them out!"
"Ha, I knew it! I knew we could do it! ”
"Madrid bastards, we were able to knock you out decades ago, and now, we can still beat you to the ground! Look, your end is near! ”
"Great Bayern Munich is invincible! Today, you will enjoy the feeling of slipping from heaven to hell! ”
……
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
This goal was indeed a big blow to Atletico Madrid, and many players had a deep sense of loss and confusion on their faces. Carrasco, who caused Bayern to play this quick counterattack, squatted down in frustration and kept slapping the grass hard.
Qin Shou stood near the center circle, looking at the Bayern players who were celebrating wantonly, with solemnity in his eyes, but more determination.
"Can't let them spoil my good mood!"
Qin Shou thought so in his heart, turned his head, clapped his hands at his teammates and shouted: "Cheer up, it's just a temporary backwardness!" Put away your frustrated and disappointed faces, and now it's us who leads the aggregate score! We haven't lost yet! We're not eliminated yet! ”
"Let them be happy for a while, and then, it's time for us to exert our strength!"
