Chapter 1178: Never admit defeat!

Simeone watched the game on the field, and finally couldn't sit still, he began to run to the sidelines, using various exaggerated movements to express his irrepressible anxiety.

He was terrified, if he lost here today, he didn't know if he would be willing to stay at Atletico Madrid, he didn't want to make that decision too soon, it would be too painful and too torturous.

He was like a cheerleader, he couldn't stop on the sidelines, he didn't know if his gestures and movements were useful, but he just felt that he had to do it, and if he didn't do anything, he was afraid that the game would end immediately and lose immediately.

Suddenly, his footsteps stopped, his hands on his head, his eyes full of despair and helplessness, and the game finally changed again, but it was not a change for Atletico Madrid.

Lin Yu counter-grabbed on the spot, directly cut off the ball at the feet of the Atletico Madrid player, and then successfully broke through and ran to the direction of the penalty area.

At this time, Lin Yu alone attracted the defensive attention of as many as four people, and at the same time attracted the attention of the other two.

When the ghostly shadow behind Lin Yu appeared, they didn't even notice what was going to happen.

……

Lin Yu did not choose to continue to break through, nor did he choose to shoot, but when he successfully attracted the attention and sight of almost all defenders, he suddenly knocked the ball back, and he flashed to the side.

Royce appeared behind him, as if out of nowhere, unhindered. Pick up a kick and shoot.

"Look at this ball - Royce!"

In the stands, the few Real Madrid fans have all stood up. Although they really hope that this ball is completed by Lin Yu, but since this pass is Lin Yu's choice. They are equally unwavering in their support to the end!

At this time, the players of Atletico Madrid realized that something was wrong and put on a posture one after another, trying to block Reuss's shot with their bodies, but due to the time difference, what they did was in vain.

That is, Courtois reacted quickly enough to hold up the ball shot by Reuss with one palm, trying to lift the ball directly out of the bottom line, but Reuss played the ball very smoothly. Not only the speed, but also the power, and even if Courtois touched it, the ball just hit the crossbar and then bounced into the goal.

When Courtois tried to make a second reaction, it was no longer possible, and the rebound of the ball after hitting the crossbar made it faster again, and Courtois was not able to get up again. The ball had already hit the back of the net.

This kind of goal is actually very common in the cooperation of Real Madrid, when Di Maria was still in the team, Lin Yu often cooperated with him in this regard. There are some similarities between Reuss and Di Maria's styles, both have speed and good technique at their feet. So it can completely replace the role of Di Maria in the past.

As soon as the commentator saw the goal, he immediately cried out.

"Under the frenzied attack. Finally scored, Royce! ”

"Atletico Madrid made a fatal mistake. They thought that Lin Yu would choose to shoot, but they didn't expect Lin Yu to pass the ball to Royce, this back and forth, there should be a huge hole in the defense, it's a pity, it's a pity that the score was equalized at this time, and the next game will be more difficult to play. ”

"Well, Reus's goal made the whole Real Madrid team breathe a long sigh of relief, and if there is a goal, it means that the team has recovered, and since it can equalize, then it is also expected to overtake the score."

……

Simeone fell to his knees with his head covered at this moment, at this moment, he could no longer hide his disappointment, others thought that his team would be able to wrestle with Real Madrid next, but he knew that there was no possibility.

The reason why his team played well in the first half today relied on the terrible combat effectiveness after self-hypnosis and Real Madrid's light enemy, but as soon as this goal was scored, neither of them existed, how did the players fight with the players of Real Madrid?

"Royce!"

With the roar of the commentator, the Real Madrid fans in the audience were boiling, Lin Yu rushed directly to suppress Reuss under him, and laughed: "You kid, this shot is not worse than me at all!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the Real Madrid players also rushed over and surrounded Lin Yu and Reus, everyone was really excited and excited.

Everyone understands the significance of this goal, although at halftime, Zidane's words have made the players sober up and plan to play well, but if the score has not been able to equalize, there will definitely still be negative emotions, and finally become anxious and panicked again is almost a certain thing.

But as soon as this goal was scored, everyone was relieved and equalized, which shows that they have done the right thing in this period of time and can continue to persevere.

Don't be discouraged when you lose!

Don't be arrogant about your goals!

Now Real Madrid really has a little bit of a hegemonic demeanor, and it doesn't look like a local tyrant nouveau riche.

Watching Reus being slapped and beaten by his teammates, Lin Yu smiled, then sneaked out of the circle of celebration, ran to the bench position, and high-fived Zidane on the sidelines.

One look, both of them know what it means.

"See, boss, I said, the next game will be handed over to us, no problem at all."

Zidane is very satisfied with Lin Yu's performance, and he is also satisfied with the state and fighting spirit of the whole team during this period.

As he said, hegemons are not always invincible, they also have failures, they will also fall into adversity, the question is whether they can get back up again once they fall into adversity, this is the key.

Zidane did not mention Napoleon in the lounge, because he felt that Napoleon could not be regarded as a hegemon, and after experiencing Waterloo, Napoleon collapsed, which is not the demeanor of a hegemon.

His team won back-to-back victories in a smooth sailing. This is nothing new, but that doesn't mean Real Madrid is strong enough. Zidane believes that it is strong enough. It is that when the team is behind, it can still show stability, even detachment, and then equalize, overtake the score, and finally win.

Although the score of today's game is still a draw, it has not yet reached the final victory he was hoping for. But he was already satisfied, able to remain calm and restrained after conceding the goal, with fighting spirit without letting his guard down. That's the really scary team, and he wants his team to be like this, to be truly invincible!

He didn't want to mention the first half of the game, Real Madrid during that period of time, like a little emperor who had been smooth sailing, suddenly encountered a little trouble, and then panicked, completely lost his sense of proportion, and didn't know what to do at all.

Real Madrid at that time did not deserve to be called a hegemon, not even a strong team. It can only be regarded as a waste of external strength and dry in the middle.

Now the team's skills and tactics are basically formed, but in order to become a true hegemon, it is necessary to continue to cultivate spiritual transcendence.

The team's road to supremacy has only just begun.

……

Simeone had a feeling of utter despair when he saw Reuss score. He really felt like he had done his best, he did whatever he could, even to get the team motivated. He also lied about a few things.

But even so, his team was one goal ahead. It was a pity that the score was equalized very quickly. One makes people feel so uncomfortable that it seems like tens of thousands of ants are scratching.

He knelt there for a long time, with his hands in his pockets, thinking about his future, thinking about the future of the team, but he didn't think about the game anymore because he felt that it was really hopeless.

Suddenly, however, his eyes, which had almost lost their brilliance, lit up.

Didn't crash?

He stood up in disbelief, and when the game resumed, the situation on the pitch was beyond his expectations, and he had expected that the players who had lost their self-hypnosis would quickly fall into despair and panic, and then be slaughtered by Real Madrid, as they had done before.

But in fact, his team did not collapse.

After the equalizer, although the players did not have the previous madness, their eyes became clearer and more determined.

This is......

Simeone's heart beat violently, and he suddenly realized that he had always underestimated his players, they were not robots, not so strong physically, but mentally strong enough.

That's right! That is true! My players are role models for footballers! Their ability may not be as strong as Real Madrid's players, but their spirit is stronger than Real Madrid's, because they have experienced many defeats and victories, and then all kinds of glory and disgrace are intertwined, honing their strong will.

Why am I desperate? It's ridiculous! With a player like that, I should be satisfied! In fact, in the whole team, the most unqualified person is me, not the players on the field!

He stood up from the ground suddenly, regained his former chic and domineering, he didn't want to think about anything else, even if he really had to lose this game, he couldn't let Real Madrid easily take three points, this is the will of the whole team to unite, and it is a terrible fighting spirit, which is stronger than the fake fighting spirit stimulated by hatred.

Admit defeat?

No! Atletico Madrid will never admit defeat! It's a city derby, a battle between two different groups of people in a city!

When he almost sank, it was his players who saved him with fighting spirit and courage, then now, he must defend the dignity of the team with the players until the end of the game.

Unlike Real Madrid, Simeone's bench is not qualified to replace the starter, this is his disadvantage, Simeone has complained about this before, but at this moment, he decided not to complain for the time being, anyway, it is not interesting to complain, it is better to think carefully, how to play the next game.

In the end, he chose to use Raul. Garcia replaces Juan. Mata.

The choice was entirely a purely tactical substitution, with Juan Mata being weaker defensively and only playing a greater role in attack, while Raul was a substitute for the defensive side. Garcia, on the contrary, is known as a defender on the offensive end.

Now Atletico Madrid, what is needed is a player who can defend and can also counterattack, Mata is obviously not suitable, not only the physical consumption is too great, but also his own characteristics make him not suitable to continue to stay on the field.

However, Simeone was still very satisfied with Mata's performance, so when Mata came off the pitch, he stepped forward and patted Mata on the shoulder and said: "Good job, let's rest well." ”

It's just a simple sentence, but doing it and not doing it are completely different, you say it, and you do it, and the player will think that you are not dissatisfied with his performance, but purely out of tactical considerations, which shows that you care about him.

If you don't say what you don't do, then the players are going to be cranky.

In addition to this substitution, Simeone also replaced Correa with Adrian.

Despite a goal, Correa didn't do well in the upcoming games, and now Simeone needs someone who can both attack and disrupt the game, and that's Adrian. (To be continued......)
