Chapter 162: Leading
"The ball is in! The ball is in! Oooo I knew it, I knew that Qin could do it! Ha, he did! We're ahead! β
"Ha, Jennifer, your vision is really good, this kid Qin is really a very good football player!"
In the away fan stands, a few hundred Atletico Madrid fans were cheering excitedly.
Jennifer was also in the crowd, singing and dancing with her mother and the fans around her, all with excitement on their faces.
Although Qin Shou did not score, they could all see that it was precisely because of Qin Shou's two passes that two scoring opportunities were created for Atletico Madrid. It can be said that Atletico Madrid was able to tie the score and overtake, and Qin Shou can be said to have made great contributions.
Chris also stood up, but because of his status, he just stood there and applauded, not like his daughter and wife, who were as excited and excited as a madman.
As a long-time football fan, he was also surprised that in such a short period of time, Qin Shou was able to find a way to break through the cage, and grasp the holes in the Arsenal backline.
Since knowing that his daughter was dating Qin Shou, Chris's attention to Qin Shou has gradually increased. He often watches La Liga games, and he also knows that Qin Shou is very powerful, but he didn't expect that this future son-in-law would be so powerful, and as time goes by, he is still improving, constantly absorbing more things.
"It seems that at least one of the so-called two conditions will have a good chance of being met. This kid is really good! β

The Atletico Madrid players were still celebrating wildly on the pitch, and Costa ran back with a lot of face and gave Qin Shou a thumbs up. Qin Shou ignored him at all. He looked at the silent stands and shook his head and smiled bitterly.
If he could, he would not be willing to do such harm to the old master.
But that's the reality, he's a professional, no matter how much he's entangled with Arsenal, he's now. I can only do my best for Atletico Madrid.
Sorry, Arsenal!
Sorry, Emirates Stadium!
Sorry, gun fans!

The first half ended with a score of 1:2, with the home team in front and the visitors behind, and Arsenal were one goal behind at home, and the situation was extremely unfavorable.
In the last five or six minutes of the first half. Arsenal, who fell behind, fought back more ferociously, but under Atletico's united defence, they could not achieve anything in the end.
The two teams temporarily returned to the locker room with a score of 1:2.
In the visiting dressing room, the Atletico players were excited. Although they fell behind by one goal as soon as the game came up, and they were suppressed by the opponent for nearly half an hour, but football games are like this, sometimes the process is not important, many times. The results speak for themselves, just like now. Although Arsenal dominated most of the time, it was Atletico Madrid who were ahead at the moment.
Simeone was also pleased with the scoreline, as he had initially expected a narrow defeat on the road and an away goal to be considered a complete task, but now they are not only scoring away goals, but also leading their opponents in terms of scores. He couldn't help but look forward to more from this game.
'The first half was a good performance, I'm happy and hopefully we can keep the momentum going in the second half.' Simeone commented on the performance of his disciples in the first half and made his own request: "But we can't take the opponent lightly. Arsenal are attacking aggressively, we need to defend well, and now that they are behind the score, they will surely fight back harder in the second half if they are not satisfied with a home defeat. In the second half, we continued to play defensive counter-attacks. Qin ......"
Speaking of which, Simeone looked at Qin Shou, and his teammates also looked at their core.
'Your changes in the first half were clever and practical. This is something that must be commended to you. β
Simeone's words made the Atletico players all nod in agreement, and even Costa, who had always been at odds with Qin Shou, had to nod in agreement. Arsenal's "cage" tactics have limited Atletico Madrid's attack for most of the time, and it is precisely because Qin Shou retreated that this situation was changed, and the continuous long pass dispatch was used to bring the team's offensive to life.
Qin Shou didn't have much of a happy look on his face, he just nodded lightly.
Simeone didn't care either, he also understood Qin Shou's mood, in front of his former teammates, he gave his old club a heavy blow, which was definitely not pleasant.
Simeone continued: "You know how to play, but I want you to have a wider range of movement in midfield. β
Qin Shou nodded again, indicating that he understood.
In fact, Simeone's meaning is very simple, that is, the second half of the game is based on solid defense, quick counterattack when there is a chance, and try to keep the goal without losing a chance, anyway, they now have two away goals, and they are also one goal ahead in the score, so there is no need to pull out and play against the opponent.
"If we win this game, then we will not be far from qualifying for the last four of the Champions League!"
After finishing the second half, Simeone drew another pie for everyone.
It's clichΓ©, but it's useful, and at least the Atletico players can imagine what it will be like to reach the last four.
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 fifteen-minute intermission went by in a flash.
Atletico Madrid didn't know what was going on in the home team's dressing room at half-time, what Professor Wenger said and what he set up, but they felt the change at Arsenal at the start of the second half.
Arsenal forwent the long ball that brought them the goal from the start, and instead used their best technical flow.
This is also a very normal thing, although the sword can sometimes achieve good results, but as long as the opponent adapts to this way of attacking, it will lose the effect of surprise.
So, instead of doing useless work, it is better to use the style you are best at.
At the start of the second half, Arsenal played a very good team pass.
Diaby picked up the ball at the back and distributed it to the wing, Walket sprinted forward a few times, saw that there was no chance of a breakthrough, knocked the ball back into the middle, and Arteta quickly moved the ball to the left after winning the ball. Oxlade-Chamberlain pulled and struck, changed the line and took two steps down the middle, then played the ball to Arteta's feet before running forward himself. γ
Arteta didn't pass the ball to Oxlade-Chamberlain, and while Oxlade-Chamberlain attracted the attention of the defenders, Arteta made a through ball and passed the ball to the gap between the Atletico defenders and the midfielders, and Van Persie pulled the ball out of the box to receive it.
Godin leaned his body against Van Persie to prevent him from turning. However, Van Persie didn't want to turn around at all, he used his instep to block the ball, and the ball went back the way it came. By this time, Arteta had already rushed up, rounded his thigh against the football, and the football rushed towards the goal.
Courtois's concentration was so focused that he leaped and hit the ball out. Miranda quickly followed up and cleared the ball and kicked the ball off the touchline.
Although the shot did not result in a goal, Arsenal still won the cheers of the fans. This attack really played beautifully, with continuous passes without any stagnation in between, almost showing Arsenal's style of passing and cooperating to the fullest.
The home commentator exclaimed: "This is Arsenal!" This is the Arsenal we know! Arsenal used such a sharp and wonderful team attack to tell Atletico Madrid that the game is not over yet, and we have not lost yet! The real Arsenal is only now being unveiled to you! β
Other commentators were also in awe.
"With more than a dozen passes in a row, Arsenal didn't make any mistakes. In fact, I would say that in the Premier League, only Arsenal can give people the enjoyment of this kind of artistic football. β
"If it had gone in, it would have been a team goal as a work of art, and it's a shame Courtois snuffed it out!"
'Arsenal are back to normal and they will use what they do best to get back from the disadvantage!'
Arsenal's attack really scared Atletico, but Courtois's save was timely, which made the Atletico players breathe a sigh of relief.
The Atletico players were resolute in their tactical approach to manager Simeone, slightly pulling back the line and battling Arsenal in midfield. Arsenal's attack is indeed very disciplined, continuous and smooth passing can often quickly penetrate Atletico Madrid's defense, but Atletico's defense is very resolute, actively running and scrambling in the midfield, and the three lines are kept very compact, although Arsenal has a little advantage for a while, but failed to find a chance to score.
At this time, the situation is that the home team is very active in attacking because it is behind, and the away team is leading and has the advantage of two away goals, so it is very resolute to play defensive counterattacks, and use counterattacks to put pressure on the opponent while stabilizing the defense.
The game was at a stalemate.
The stalemate was not broken until the 67th minute of the match. In the 65th minute, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger made a substitution, he replaced Park Joo-young with Chamak, and this substitution, it only took two minutes to bring a harvest for Arsenal.
