Chapter 130: He Passes the Football to Himself Three Seconds Later (Part I)
There is a popular Chinese idiom called killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.
The meaning on the surface is very simple, the monkey is very jumpy, love to cause trouble, the owner is so angry that he can't do it, but he is reluctant to slaughter the monkey, so the master in front of the monkey, killed a chicken, the monkey was frightened by the master's cold-blooded means, and no longer dared to cause trouble everywhere, so he could only obediently listen to the fate of the master.
This metaphor is a warning to someone else by punishing one individual.
Throughout the first half, Atletico Madrid had no forward momentum except for defense or defense, and even if they were defending, they often wandered and made mistakes.
Fortunately, Barcelona's state is not very good, if in the past, so many loopholes would have been caught by Barcelona a long time ago and the goal would have been beaten into a sieve.
Simeone was also extremely dissatisfied.
He first replaced the players with average performance, then criticized several players by name, and then made an example of the players - this is for the players to see, I can even Qin Shou, I can even scold your leader, let alone you. If you don't cheer me up again, Lao Tzu will scold you all.
It's no wonder that some people say that a great head coach is also a great politician, psychologist, and negotiator...... In just a few minutes, Simeone played a variety of methods, which cannot be admired.
It's just that Qin Shou smiled bitterly that he became the chicken that was slaughtered, which is really ......
However, Qin Shou did not argue, his performance in the first half was indeed average. Or rather, after returning from London, his form has been a little problematic. His style of play on the pitch is no different from his previous style, but his heart is just not good, how he plays and how it doesn't feel right, so during this time, he has scored almost no goals and the number of assists has decreased.
However, Qin Shou is a very smart player, he doesn't know if other high-level players have also faced such a situation, but he feels that such a situation is just a problem of mentality, and it shouldn't last long, as long as he maintains a good mentality and plays the same way as before, he should be able to find the feeling of scoring goals soon.
Therefore, although Qin Shou's assists and goals have decreased, he has taken the initiative to retreat and truly shoulder the role of the team's brain, maybe he can't help the team with goals for the time being, but his scheduling, his organization, can still contribute to the team.
Qin Shou nodded and looked at Simeone: "I know what to do, coach." ”
Simone nodded expressionlessly, glanced at Qin Shou deeply, and then turned around and walked out of the locker room.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid, who was severely trained by the head coach in the dressing room, was furious.
In the second minute of the opening game, Qin Shou received the ball near the center circle, and distributed the ball to Turan on the side with a long pass. Costa grabbed Baltra with his body, looked back at the moon, jumped back to shoot, and the ball flew off the border between the post and the crossbar, scaring Valdés into a cold sweat.
A minute later, Antoine Griezmann also had a shot on goal. It was Qin Shou who instigated the organization in the middle again, Vazquez answered on the side, and then passed to Qin Shou, and Qin Shou overdid it directly behind Barcelona, Griezmann received the football on the left side of the penalty area, and volleyed directly without stopping, trying to hit the far corner of the goal, but failed to press it well, and the football flew directly into the stands.
Soon, Atletico made a comeback again. This time it was Qin Shou who showed his face, he had been in a hurry to organize and dispatch the work, he suddenly rushed up from the middle with the ball, and after shaking off two defenders in a row, a powerful long-range shot from 35 meters away hit the goal, the shooting power was great, but the angle was a little right, Valdés, who was concentrated, jumped sideways, punched the football out with both fists, and gave Atletico Madrid a corner.
"Oh oh, at the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid showed a strong desire to attack, they played very differently than the first half, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a new one."
"I don't know what Simeone said in the dressing room, the current Atletico Madrid players are all like beasts that choose people to eat, ha, this is the Atletico Madrid team we are familiar with!"
"Atletico Madrid has made a force, I don't know if Barcelona can withstand it!"
The commentators screamed excitedly. The uneventful game in the first half made them very loveless, and now Atletico Madrid's offensive posture has made them shine and have a lot of expectations. As long as Atletico Madrid attack, then Barcelona will definitely make a difference, and this game is likely to turn into a head-to-head battle.
In fact, it's they who think too much.
Atletico are doing much the same thing as Barcelona did at the start of the first half. They also want to take advantage of the opening opportunity to come up with a wave of attacking three-board axes, if they can split the opponent over the best, if they can't flip, hehe, it's good to scare them.
Sure enough, after Qin Shou Juanfran's corner kick was cleared by the Barcelona defender, Atletico Madrid began to retreat into the half. They came up with the best strategy of defending the whole court and continued to play defensive counterattacks.
That's what makes Atletico and Barcelona different. Barcelona can continue to possess the ball after three boards, but Atletico can't. The quality of their passing is not bad, but the score is compared to whom. In front of Barcelona, if they want to play pass and possession, they will probably be laughed off by everyone, so they still honestly play their best defensive counterattack.
Atletico Madrid continued to attack for a while before retreating, which made the Barcelona players on the field so depressed that they vomited blood. A completely different performance at the beginning, the Barcelona players thought that Atletico Madrid had opened up and wanted to have a real fight with them, but the fire was picked up, but the opposite side shrank, as if the little couple kissed and stroked on the bed for a while, and when they were about to take off their pants, the girl told the boy, my aunt is here today, which makes people call one uncomfortable!
However, it is uncomfortable to be uncomfortable, and the Barcelona players have no choice, but they are still a little accustomed to it, anyway, every time they play against Atletico Madrid, it is very difficult, and the opponent's various tactics and nuisances make them extremely uncomfortable at the same time, but also gradually have immunity.
The game quickly returned to the trajectory of the first half. Atletico Madrid conceded possession - they couldn't help it, and in front of Barcelona, they played possession to make themselves uncomfortable. Barcelona, on the other hand, once again took the initiative on the pitch, passing back and forth, looking for openings in Atletico's defense.
Although the Atletico players are in a bit of a bad mental state, they are still very active defensively. The Barcelona players played patiently, but they were forced by Atletico Madrid and often made mistakes in passing.
In this state where both sides are a little weak and sluggish, in fact, the overall power is not much, because there is no way to take the other side, and what determines the outcome is actually the personal strength of the star, or a flash of inspiration.
Atletico Madrid defended with peace of mind, while Barcelona, who had been unable to open the situation, changed their style of play and handed the ball more to their top star Leo. Messi's feet, let him use his individual ability to attack, to create opportunities.
The game was as dull and dull as the first half for more than ten minutes, and in the 67th minute of the game, Messi used his super individual ability to break through the defense of three players in a row in the front court, and a low shot on the line of the penalty area was saved by Courtois.
Then Barcelona took a tactical corner, Messi received Xavi's pass, just on the right side of the penalty area, and shot directly with his feet. The ball made a clear arc in the air and fell straight into the back corner of the goal.
This shot is quite imaginative, Courtois, who is standing at the near post, did not expect Messi to shoot directly from this position, and it is too late to save.
It's just that Atletico Madrid was really lucky today, and a moment later, the football and the goalpost came into close contact, making a dull sound of "bang~", and then popping up the bottom line.
This shot made Camp Nou sound a sound of exclamation and regret, and Messi's expression also looked helpless.
"Atletico Madrid escaped! Messi's hanging door is already impeccable, but it is clear that the goddess of fate is on Atletico Madrid's side today. ”
The commentator was sighing at the whimsical small-angle hanging door, while on the pitch, Barcelona's attack continued.
They continue to send football to Messi's feet, and Messi continues to put pressure on Atletico Madrid with his outstanding individual ability. The game started to get exciting, and the home team had the upper hand and a big frame of being ready to score at any moment.
At this dangerous moment, someone on Atletico's side finally stepped up and made the most critical and important response.
And the person who responded was none other than Qin Shou, who was calm in these games, including this game.
In the 75th minute, Messi's shot was blocked by Courtois, and the Belgian goalkeeper quickly got up from the ground and threw the ball to left wing-back Andreas Perea. After the latter received the ball, he took two steps and Sanchez stuck to it.
Under the close interference of the Chilean striker, Perea poked the ball to Qin Shou who switched to the side with difficulty.
The most exciting moment of the game is here!
Because of Sanchez's interference, Perea's pass was a little small, and Qin Shou had to run back a few steps to catch the ball.
Mascherano rushed over quickly, and the two formed a two-point goal, and each person had a chance to get the ball first.
The final winner was Qin Shou, his speed and explosiveness were undoubtedly more dominant, even if he stepped back to catch the ball, he was faster than the Argentine, and at the moment when Mascherano was about to touch the football, Qin Shou made a kick first and stabbed the football out.
Then without pausing at all, he chased the ball quickly! (To be continued.) )
