Chapter 51: The Red Card

The buzzing Calderón Stadium fell into a brief silence after Villa's goal.

Atletico Madrid coach Simeone waved his hand in annoyance. Although he was not angry, he did not have the slightest anger. That's the difference in quality, Barcelona's attacking prowess is second to none in the whole world of football, and no team dares to pat their chests and say they can not let Barcelona score in 90 minutes of play.

No, it's not like no one has done that, and Mourinho is willing to swear that his side can keep a clean sheet against Barcelona. His team did that in a number of meetings with Barcelona, but more often than not, Real Madrid's backline was beaten into a sieve by Barcelona.

Simeone is not Mourinho, his team is not Real Madrid, the madman dares to do this, that is because his face is thick enough, his defensive attainments are really good, and Real Madrid is also a super giant, even if they are temporarily suppressed by Barcelona, they are not afraid of their opponents.

But Atletico Madrid is not Real Madrid, his team can't do the whole game will be highly nervous, after all, their style of play is really very physical, and the consequence of the decline in physical fitness is a lack of concentration, and as long as the energy is a little slack, it gives Barcelona a chance to take advantage of.

Faced with such a situation, Simeone did not have a good solution. If you can take care of this end, you can't take care of that end, and Simeone can only make gestures on the sidelines, signaling the team to recycle the lineup a little, gritting his teeth to hold on, and holding on to the last point of the first half.

Qin Shou also knows the team's current situation, although their crazy running and rushing have curbed Barcelona's attack to a certain extent, but they have also dragged themselves into a war of attrition. Barcelona spent most of the first half back and forth, and in order to keep the opponent from finding a gap, the Atletico players had to keep running.

This consumption is simply too great.

This goal was conceded because Koke in the middle did not keep up with Xavi's footsteps, and was shaken behind by the opponent's continuous passing cooperation, and then Xavi calmly passed the ball to the empty space in the front court, so that Sanchez broke through and pushed it directly. Andres Iniesta knocks on the result of Villa's goal.

Qin Shou took the initiative to return to the middle to participate in the defense, and now the score has been equalized, Barcelona's momentum has risen, and on his side, his physical fitness has declined, and he has suffered the blow of conceding a goal, and now their main thing is to stabilize the defense line and not let Barcelona take advantage of the situation to score again.

Qin Shou's active retreat not only relieved Cork, but also suddenly felt that the pressure on his body had eased. For the thickness of Atletico Madrid's midfield barrier, it is also greatly strengthened.

Qin Shou was born in the back, needless to say, his defensive ability is needless to say, and his physical fitness has always been very perverted, so Qin Shou began to play the role of a scavenger in the midfield, sweeping back and forth.

Barcelona really wanted to take advantage of the situation to put pressure on Atletico Madrid's midfield again, but because of the recovery of the opponent's formation and Qin Shou's active sweeping, there was no good way for them to infiltrate their short passes for a while.

Whereas, Atletico focuses on defense. There are not many chances in attack.

Once again, the game was at a stalemate.

However, as the clock ticked to the end of the first half, the game reached its climax once again.

Barcelona, who had the offensive initiative, clearly wanted to take the lead over Atletico Madrid in the first half, so they took advantage of this last bit of time to make waves again.

With Atletico taking the initiative to recycle the three lines. Barcelona's two full-backs are back alive. Especially Alves, he was played by Qin Shou once before, and then because Qin Shou had a yellow card on his back, he was honest for a while. However, after seeing Qin Shou retreat more to the middle to defend, Alves began to insert assists frequently.

Cork was forced to retreat again and again by Alves' back-and-forth sprints, if it weren't for Qin Shou's rescue from time to time. Perhaps Atletico's left-hand corridor will become Alves' own backyard.

As for him, Koke also received a yellow card for a number of fouls on Alves.

In the 43rd minute, after Alves received the ball on the side, he quickly dribbled forward. The talented but young Cork stepped forward to block it, but Alves didn't dwell on him, pushing the ball to the left and then continuing to run forward.

Cork was in trouble and didn't know whether to chase Alves or turn back to catch Xavi in football.

Harvey helped him decide. Barça's brain leaned against Gabi, and with a rebound on the inside of the arch of his foot, he kicked the ball into Alves' running path.

A wonderful two-over-one match!

Koke turned to chase back, but Alves had already bypassed his defence and raced quickly down the flank.

"Back to the middle!"

Just when Cork thought that his defense had failed again, a red figure shot out from behind him towards the wing, rushing towards Alves' forward path at great speed.

Seeing Qin Shou moving towards the side to make up for the defense, Cork seemed to have found the backbone, and immediately ran to the middle to participate in the team's defense.

Alves took a few big strides forward and caught up with the football. Just as he was about to take the ball away again and go straight to the bottom, he had to slow down and control the ball at his feet instead.

Because Qin Shou suddenly appeared on the route he was on. He can choose to stride and lie down and sprint, but he is still self-aware of his speed, although it is fast, but it is definitely not as fast as the Chinese kid in front of him. As long as you dare to use your speed to eat your opponent, your opponent will be able to catch up with the football at a faster pace.

"Damn it!"

Alves cursed in a low voice, but he was careful and cautiously faced Qin Shou's defense.

The two of them have clashed on the side before, Qin Shou's defense is ruthless and fast, and there is no hesitation at all, Alves's several breakthroughs have been destroyed or tackled by the opponent, it can be said that in one-on-one offense and defense, Qin Shou has the absolute upper hand.

This is one of the reasons why Barcelona's attack has reached a stalemate. Alves's quick insertion on the flanks was one of Barcelona's most threatening attacking methods, and Qin Shou's repeated sabotage almost brought Barcelona's right corridor to a standstill.

Qin Shou stuck to it and leaned against Alves with his body, not giving him a chance to turn around.

Alves tried to use feints to complete the turn and breakthrough, but Qin Shou was unmoved, just stuck to him while constantly squeezing him with his body.

Don't look at Qin Shou's body bones seem to be thin, but the strength contained in the body is not small, otherwise it would be impossible to gain a foothold in the Premier League, which emphasizes physical confrontation. Alves only felt that his body was like a reef in the sea, bearing wave after wave of impact from the sea, and that feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

You can't even complete a turn, let alone break through. And he had to be vigilant at all times, because while Qin Shou was squeezing him, his feet did not stop, constantly looking for opportunities to break the ball at his feet.

Busquets ran over to answer, Alves suddenly felt the pressure on his body ease, and it turned out that Qin Shou had to devote a little energy to paying attention to Busquets.

"Good chance!"

Alves didn't choose to pass the ball, he put his left foot on the football, and it seemed that he wanted to pass the ball, but he stepped on the ball and slid forward, and then pulled it back, and his left shoulder sank, and he was about to pull the ball and turn around.

He did turn around and was facing the goal, but the ball was missing at his feet.

The big electronic screen at the scene was playing back the shot just now, and at the moment when he was about to turn around, Qin Shou's right foot stabbed the football, fast and accurate, and Alves, who had completed the turn but lost the ball, was completely unaware, as funny as a monkey.

Qin Shou, who successfully tackled, did not stick to the ball, but pushed the football to the middle, and he quickly turned around and rushed towards the front.

Looking at the rolling football, Kirk was a little stunned. At this moment, he really understood the meaning of Qin Shou's sentence "back to the middle" that Qin Shou said to him before, where Qin Shou asked him to go back to the middle to defend, but let him wait in the middle to receive the ball.

Coke's ball quotient is not low, and after Qin Shou passed through the midfield at high speed, he drove the ball to the front court with a big foot, just above Qin Shou's travel route.

The rhythm of switching from defense to attack is too fast, and at this moment, Barcelona is still pressed by a large army, and the defense is extremely empty, with a large amount of space, which is enough for Qin Shou to take advantage of it and become a great opportunity to counterattack.

Barcelona only has two defenders left in the backfield, Abidal and Puyol, Qin Shou used his speed to shake off Abidal, caught up with the football, Puyol fought and retreated, but when Qin Shou quickly rushed to the front of the penalty area with the ball, Puyol could not retreat, in this position, Qin Shou could already shoot directly with his feet, or as long as the opponent changed the line and shot the ball, he couldn't stop it if he wanted to.

There was no way, Puyol could only meet it.

Qin Shou kept making fake movements on the spot, but Puyol was unmoved. Seeing that the other party was not fooled, he secretly said that he was really experienced, so he quickly flicked the ball sideways at his feet, and forcibly shook the space to hit the door directly.

As a result, Puyol could only force a steal.

But the next moment, when there was a hard feeling at Puyol's feet, Puyol knew that something was wrong. Sure enough, this was just Qin Shou's feint, and he kicked Qin Shou's calf.

Qin Shou stumbled, and finally fell to the ground.

The whistle sounded, and Marilenko ran over as soon as possible.

Then, with his right hand, he pulled the cards out of his pocket, and a bright red color appeared on top of Puyol's head.

Red!

At the moment when Qin Shou fell to the ground, the Calderón Stadium resounded with boos, all for Puyol, in the eyes of Atletico Madrid fans, if it weren't for Puyol's foul, Qin Shou would have successfully broken through and faced the goalkeeper single-handedly, and the team would be able to take the lead again.

However, after Marilenko showed the Barcelona captain a red card, the scene resounded with cheers and cheers. Although there was no goal in this attack, it was a good result to get the Barcelona captain down, at least the team was ahead in numbers, and the next game must have the upper hand through the advantage of numbers.
