Chapter 127: The Key Pass
"Damn it!"
Simeone kicked the mineral water bottle outside the field fiercely, and kept scolding in his mouth. I don't know if he's scolding his players or if he's upset with Raul for scoring goals.
When Simeone was a player, he played against Raul many times and knew very well what Raul was capable of, although Raul did not win the highest award as a player, he was definitely a top player, especially in the Champions League, Raul seemed to have been born for this competition, and the goals were endless.
Before this game, Simeone had made a special arrangement for Raul, but due to Raul's silence in the first half, everyone seemed to have forgotten about him. But Raul's sudden outburst almost pushed Atletico Madrid to the brink.
This made Simeone feel painful, but also had to sigh that as the years went by, Raul gradually grew old, but he became more and more football-wise, and even thought of a way to save energy and put the decisive battle in the second half. And this "tactic" turned out to be successful, there was not much time left in the game, and Raul's two goals really made Atletico Madrid ******** painful.
Now the situation has gone so bad that it can't be worse, Schalke 04 not only equalized the score, but also got two away goals, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on the road to promotion for Atletico Madrid.
Simeone and Atletico Madrid have two options in front of them at the moment, one is to defend solidly. If you continue to play against Schalke 04, you may score goals or concede goals. Schalke 04, who scored twice in a row, was in high spirits at this time, and Simeone was not sure if his team would be able to score again, but he was extremely worried that his opponent would score again. If that's the case, the second leg is expected to be even more difficult to play, with a defeat at home and two away goals left to leave Atletico almost infinitely eliminated.
Another option is to give it a go. The reason is simple, just look at the score. Anyway, the advantage of promotion is already on Schalke 04's side. Atletico might be able to score another goal, and if it ends with such a scoreline, Atletico will not be much different from losing at home.
After a few moments, Simeone finally made his choice, and he decided to fight it in the final minutes of this match!
In the 83rd minute, Adrian and teenager Antoine Griezmann stood on the sidelines and replaced Koke and Gabi respectively.
"Oh oh, Coach Simeone is betting on his whole net worth, and he replaces Cork with Adrian. In this way, Atletico have three strikers on the field! ”
"No, no, no, not only that, strictly speaking, the youngster Griezmann plays the winger position, plus Qin between the front and the front, oh my God, is Simeone crazy? Atletico Madrid actually had five strikers on the field at the same time! ”
"Coach Simeone is really bold...... But I do agree with that, it's either life or death. Atletico Madrid had no way out, being equalised by Schalke 04 and scoring two away goals to the Stadium Gelsenki. The opponents only need a draw to knock them out...... Only by letting go can there be life! ”
"But...... Such a desperate style of play, but at the expense of the defensive strength of the midfield, the success is good. If you fail and score a goal by Schalke 04, then Atletico Madrid is really cornered...... I think we should focus on stability. It's better to draw than to lose, right? ”
The commentators were clamoring for mixed reviews of Simeone's substitution.
That's right, Simeone at this moment is like a gambler who has lost a red eye, after changing two people in a row, he simply stood on the sidelines, constantly gesturing to the field, signaling the team to press up. He also called Qin Shou who ran by his side to stop him, and gave him a face-to-face lecture.
Simeone's explanation is actually very simple, that is, Qin Shou wants to pay more attention to the midfield, try to minimize the forward, and focus on delivering shells to the forward line.
This is also something that can't be helped, Gabi is off the field, and the defensive burden of the midfield falls on Qin Shou's shoulders, he must take on the responsibility of the midfield barrier, after all, Turan is a good player in attack, and he is a scumbag in defense.
Qin Shou also understood this, nodded, and then waved his hand to signal Griezmann and Turan to press forward, and organize the midfield full-time.
After the restart, Atletico Madrid was like crazy, like locusts crossing the border, rushing towards the front. Even the defenders at the back rushed to the midfield.
Atletico Madrid's desperate posture also brought huge pressure to the opponent. The Schalke 04 players had to shrink their defence so as not to be breached by their opponents.
In fact, being able to equalize the score and get two away goals is extremely satisfying for Schalke 04. They also didn't want to give up the fruits of this victory easily, and at Magath's signal, Schalke 04 retreated all the way and focused on defense, leaving only Farfan and Huntelaar in the front to contain and wait for a counterattack.
The situation soon entered the half-time offensive and defensive drills.
Atletico Madrid's players were red-eyed and bombarded the Shakhtar's half.
"Oh oh, Qin made a steal in the midfield and hoisted the football directly into the penalty area...... Costa! Costa! Nice head-to-head attack, Hildebrand's fingertips touched the football, and the football was blocked off the line! ”
"Griezmann breaks down the wing, cuts inside! The Frenchman, who is not yet 20 years old, is a real eye-catcher, and his impact and breakthrough ability are really good...... Oh, just hit the door...... The shot was too hasty and didn't pose much of a threat to Hildebrand, and the ball was easily held in his arms. ”
"Atletico Madrid's attack was so ferocious, there was a lot of noise in front of Schalke 04 in the penalty area. Now it's up to Atletico to seize this late moment and get on the scoresheet...... Oo......oo Unfortunately, the football was ruined by Draxler's first kick......"
On the field, Atletico Madrid's offensive continued one after another, and in the stands, the shouts and cheers of the fans were also endless. The team has reached the most dangerous time, everyone is shouting, everyone is praying, everyone's eyes are nervous and focused on the field, hoping that the team can break through the opponent's goal in the next moment and regain the lead.
"Attack! Offensive! We can only attack! ”
"Goal! Goal! We need to score goals! ”
Shouts, roars, songs. Gathered together, resounding all over the world, this stadium ushered in the hottest and most climactic stage of the game.
And it is in this boiling hustle and bustle, time passes quickly, the regular game time has come to an end, and the score on the field is still 2:2, nothing has changed.
The referee raised three fingers and made a gesture for three minutes of stoppage time.
Magath on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief, in the past seven or eight minutes, the opponent has really been like a madman. In addition to moving forward, or forward, the team's defense was constantly compressed, and there was not even a decent counterattack. However, fortunately, Schalke 04 still resisted the stormy attack and has not conceded a goal so far. With only a few minutes of stoppage time left, it can be said that Schalke 04 has done a good job of completing the pre-game task.
The clock entered the ninety-second minute, and time was running out, and Atletico Madrid continued to storm around Schalke 04's penalty area. Qin Shou didn't care about the defense of the midfield. Rushed from the middle to the front.
Griezmann, who was on the side, saw Qin Shou coming up, and did not hesitate, and directly passed the football over.
Qin Shou stopped the ball and turned around, getting rid of the defense of the back Kruger. strode forward to lie down the ball, and quickly rushed to the penalty area thirty meters.
Schalke 04's defence was tense. Qin Shou's long-range shooting ability is well known to everyone, and Jones and Baumjohn immediately came together.
Qin Shou didn't seem to see the two approaching, and took the ball forward again. With a sudden force, the left foot kicks the ground, and the right foot continues to rush forward. It's a kick to the bottom of the football.
The soccer ball drew a straight white line in the air and shot at the goal like a cannonball.
"Qin-Shoot!"
"Qin's powerful long-range shot!"
Qin Shou's shot was very powerful, but the angle was somewhat positive. Hildebrand had been waiting for it for a long time, but he didn't dare to hold the ball, but punched the ball out of the bottom line.
Atletico Madrid won a corner.
"Alas, Qin's shot was hit by Hildebrand!"
"Counting this game, Qin has not scored in three consecutive games. Qin's goal luck seems to be bad during this time. ”
"Let's take a look at this corner first, it may well be Atletico's last chance to attack in this game."
The referee looked at his watch and blew his whistle to signal Felipe, who was standing in the corner flag, that he could serve. However, his whistle was still on his lips and it seemed that the final whistle could be blown at any moment.
Atletico's players all rushed to the penalty area, even goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Felipe passed the ball into the penalty area, and the players of both teams in the box pushed and shoved, and there was chaos.
In the confusion, I don't know who kicked it, and the ball rolled to the line of the penalty area.
Qin Shou suddenly rushed out, stretched out his long legs, and the man and the ball rushed into the penalty area again.
"Qin! Qin! Qin! He dribbled into the box! ”
"This is Atletico Madrid's last chance!"
There was still chaos in the penalty area, seeing Qin Shou rushing in with the ball, the defenders of Schalke 04 showed panic and fear on their faces, and several defenders rushed towards Qin Shou almost regardless of it, and even Metzelder had fallen to the ground and slid over.
Qin Shou rushed directly to the position near the bottom line with the ball, and then made a shot at the goal.
Some of the Shakhtar defenders fell to the ground, some jumped up and blocked with their bodies, but the football did not fly quickly, but floated to the other side of the goal with a spoon-like trajectory.
"It's not a shot! It's not a shot! Qin chose to pass! ”
"Who's the last order! Who's the last one! Godin! Godin! Godin rushed out! ”
"The football came, Godin jumped - header ......"
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, the expectant eyes of his teammates, the nervous and frightened expressions of his opponents became the background, and Godin fought his way out of the encirclement, slamming into the football in a shallow bottom position.
At such a close distance, Hildebrand waved his hand powerlessly, and then ...... The football went right from his side and into the goal!
3:2!
In the last minute of stoppage time, Atletico Madrid once again exceeded the score and killed the opponent!
