Chapter 18: The First Half of Madness (Part II)
So far in the game, Atletico Madrid have only had three shots on goal. To be exact, these three shots all came from Qin Shou, and then they were exchanged for two goals, one of which hit the post.
This kind of efficiency can be called terrifying to the extreme.
When Juanfran crossed, Petr Cech moved towards the penalty spot to get the cross down. Unexpectedly, the football was passed to the back point, and Qin Shou also caught the omission of Cech standing in front of him and chose to shoot. Cech had already made the gesture of jumping backwards and reaching out to slap, but he could see it, he couldn't touch it, he could only look at the ball and sigh.
Cech, who fell to the ground, looked helplessly at the goal, and the football lay quietly in the net, as if to mock him silently. The Czech doorman slapped the turf in frustration, but could not do anything.
Chelsea's players were stunned as they steadied themselves and launched several attacks in the meantime, with the initiative slowly tilting in their favour. But at this time, Qin Shou scored again, which was tantamount to giving them a slap in the face.
Qin Shou's goal smashed them into a daze, and some players even had blank looks on their faces, full of disbelief.
Qin Shou didn't care so much, the difficulty of this shot was extremely high, and it was easy to hit the door without stopping the ball, so Qin Shou looked very excited after scoring the goal, he stood in place, pointed to his left foot, and pointed to the black and white elf in the goal, and then roared wildly.
Juanfran was the first to rush up, flipped Qin Shou to the ground, and pressed it hard. This was followed by Falcao, Turan...... Almost all the Atletico players in the midfield rushed over to celebrate. The goal was like a reassuring reassurance to all the Atletico players, who already had two goals in their hands to win the powerful Champions League and win the game as if it were within reach.
When Qin Shou transferred to the team for the highest value in the team of 12 million, many Atletico Madrid players still had doubts or distrust in their hearts, and they questioned whether such a player in the Major League Soccer who was lagging behind in football was really worth so much money. Although Qin Shou's strength and level have been recognized by most people in this more than month of training, it has not been tested in actual combat, which still makes a small number of players complain.
And now, in the first game for Atletico Madrid, it only took less than twenty minutes, and Qin Shou shattered all doubts with two goals!
The manager's vision is really good! The manager's decision was indeed wise!
Such an excellent player can indeed take on the responsibility of the core of the team!
Everyone is convinced!
The first trophy of the new season is just around the corner, and everyone is cheering.
"Well done, Qin!"
"It's really blinding my titanium dog's eyes, less than 20 minutes, two goals! Qin, you're amazing! β
"I'm convinced! I'm really convinced! Qin, please take my knees! β
β¦β¦
Off the field, Simeone looked particularly excited. He fought hard against public opinion, and even had a big fight with the club's board of directors before finally bringing Qin Shou to CalderΓ³n, and now, Qin Shou has broken all doubts with his outstanding performance - see no, this is the player I must bring in! This is our new nucleus! This is our future!
The Atletico players on the bench were also cheering, and in the boiling crowd, Costa, who was silent in his seat, stood out. His face was very ugly, but he had nothing to say. Qin Shou's two goals are indeed beautiful, especially the second goal, which is extremely difficult, even if he is very confident in his shooting skills, he does not dare to pack a ticket to be able to score the ball in this situation.
After holding back for a long time, Costa finally found a reason to complain: "Damn, you're a midfielder, why are you scoring so many goals!" Ahhh......h
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The atmosphere at the Stade Louis II was also particularly lively at this time. Many European fans are not familiar with Qin Shou, and although the short loan trip to England has made many people know the young player from China, many more people don't even know the name Qin Shou.
The same goes for the fans at the scene. When Qin Shou scored the first goal, the fans in the stands erupted in cheers and cheers, and then a large number of fans began to ask for information about the scorer.
After being introduced by fans who are familiar with Qin Shou, this group of fans suddenly realized: It turns out that this Chinese player has also played for Arsenal and has played outstandingly.
And when the emotion has not passed, Qin Shou's second goal came again!
The atmosphere in the stands heated up again.
"What a beautiful shot! Chinese boy, I'm in love with you! I'm your fan from today onwards! β
"Wow, the lob from the edge of the box, what an imaginative goal!"
"It should be a lot of difficulty to shoot! Look, the opposing goalkeeper can only bury his head in the lawn, which is too powerful! β
While the fans were cheering and cheering, the commentators on the commentary bench were also exclaiming.
"I have to say, Atletico Madrid made a good deal this summer! It only cost 12 million euros to pocket such a young talent - Atletico Madrid made a lot of money! β
'I think it was a tough game for Chelsea. Now two goals down, if they continue to do nothing, then they will lose their first title of the new season! β
'I think even if Chelsea can score, who can guarantee that Atletico won't score again? Judging from the current situation, Atletico Madrid is not lagging behind at all. Now that they have two goals in hand, the next game will definitely be even more handy! β
'There's no way back for Chelsea! They will have to attack with all their might to try to pull one back in the first half to keep their hopes of a comeback in the second half! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
As the on-field commentator described, Chelsea, who were two goals down less than 20 minutes into the first half, had no way out. They had no choice but to attack.
Chelsea boss Villas-Boas, known as the "Madman II", stood anxiously on the sidelines, yelling at the players on the field, gesturing again and again, signaling his team to press up and attack.
Chelsea play hard, very good at counter-attacking, and in the Mourinho era, they knew how to use their strengths to execute the tactics of 'swinging the bus', although the scene was not good, but they were often able to win games.
And in this game, Chelsea had to force it out and fight with the opponent to attack. Fortunately, Atletico Madrid are not a team that likes to "swing the bus", and with at least 70 minutes left on the game time, Chelsea are not completely at the end of the road.
Led by Blues captain Frank Lampard, Chelsea began to unleash an onslaught towards the Atletico half.
In the 24th minute, Juan Mata forced his way through Perea's defence on the flank, and then sent the ball diagonally into the box, where Drogba flicked his head and the ball slid past the goal.
Two minutes later, Chelsea's right wing-back Branislav Ivanovic cut in for an assist down the flank, but was tripped by Felipe and the referee signalled for a foul.
Three minutes later, Frank Lampard fired a shot from the edge of the box, which drew Godin and Miranda flying over to block the shot, but Lampard made a hidden through ball to send the ball into the box. Torres forms a single knife. Courtois was brave enough to strike quickly from Fernando Torres' feet and plop the ball into his arms. Torres kicked the air and threw a.
In the 33rd minute, Drogba made a killing chance. Pulling out of the box, he received a pass from a team-mate with his back, forced a turn and fired a blast that Courtois reacted quickly to make a world-class save that was worthy of touching the ball off the line with his fingertips.
"Oooh, Didier Drogba shoots...... Courtois! He made a great save! The young Belgian goalkeeper's performance in this game was world-class! β
"Is it true that players always play at a super level when they face their old clubs? I wonder how the Chelsea coaches will feel when they see the young player on loan from their squad turn off their shots time and time again! β
"It's not going to be happy anyway, haha......"
Chelsea's attack is becoming more and more ferocious, which makes Simeone in the dugout unable to sit still. He stood straight on the sidelines, staring intently at the court, and from time to time he would let out a roar like a lion's roar.
He was a little worried that the team would not be able to withstand the opponent's stormy counterattack. If the opponent does pull a goal back in the first half, the game will be full of suspense again.
In fact, Simeone was overthinking.
Although the situation on the field looks like Chelsea are besieging around Atletico Madrid's half, in fact, Atletico's defense is very well maintained, with clear layers, layer after layer of obstruction, even if Chelsea tears the first layer of defense, there are second and third layers behind, and it is rarely able to form a direct threat, often only with long-range shots or wide crosses to threaten the goal. But in the game, Negodin and Miranda are both good players in the battle for the header, and in terms of defence, Atletico's backline has not been leaked so far.
During this time, although Qin Shou also returned to the half court to help the team defend, he knew one thing very well, on the football field, only offense is the best defense!
If you want to contain the opponent's offensive, offense is the king!
While defending, Qin Shou has been looking for opportunities to counterattack.
And such an opportunity will come soon!
In the 41st minute, Juan Mata burst into the box and the ball was kicked off the line by the reticulated Andrea and Chelsea won a corner.
But in the process of scrambling for a corner kick, Godin took the lead in pushing the football out of the penalty area, and at the same time, Qin Shou had already rushed forward quickly. Turan just glanced at the ball and drove the ball towards the front with a big foot.
Counterattack!
When Qin Shou ran through the middle circle, the football just landed in front of him. And not far away, Mikel is also eyeing football. The two were almost as far away from the football.
Qin Shou's terrifying explosiveness and sprinting ability were fully revealed at this moment. Just a start, a step, Qin Shou shortened the distance between him and the football, when Mikel was just halfway through, Qin Shou's right foot had already touched the football, and with a fierce trip, Qin Shou used his speed to directly take the ball and shake off Mikel.
"Fight back! Counterattack! A quick counter-attack from Atletico Madrid! β
'Chelsea are in danger! The defense is weak at the back and they are likely to concede the goal again! β
"Qin, he's rushing up! It's unbelievably fast! β
The speed arrow streaked across the night sky, and the large open area was enough for Qin Shou to sprint without hesitation. Speed up, speed up, speed up again, Qin Shou is like a racing car without a computer watch, constantly accelerating, like a red and white whirlwind, sweeping by.
The nearly 20,000 fans in the stands felt the rush of blood almost at the same time, and this kind of picture like a racing schedule stimulated them to scream again and again.
As he approached the penalty area, Terry rushed up.
Qin Shou didn't slow down, and when he changed direction during the high-speed run, he shook Terry away.
Cahill, who was waiting for the opportunity, saw the opportunity and strode forward, but Qin Shou was like a long eye behind his back, pulling and pulling, and a Marseille maneuver, he broke through the opponent.
Single Knife! Single Knife!
Qin Shou rushed into the penalty area, as an experienced veteran goalkeeper, Cech has also experienced a lot of wind and waves, but at this moment, he has a panicked feeling - he doesn't know whether to attack, or wait in place.
Qin Shou didn't give him a chance to think about it, and the moment he crossed the penalty area with the ball, he directly swung his leg and hit the football with his right foot!
At such close range, Cech could even hear the whistling sound of the running football and the friction of the air. It's enough to imagine how powerful this kick shot is.
Petr Cech didn't even have time to make a save before the ball slammed into the back of the net from the cheek in an unreasonable ferocity.
Cech only felt a pain in his cheeks.
Looking back, the ball has been scored.
Looking back, Qin Shou was already raising his arms and shouting!
Cech collapsed limply on the turf, covering his eyes in pain.
3:0, Chelsea is powerless!
