Chapter 510: Atletico Madrid, who beat the blood
Strategically despising the enemy and tactically valuing the enemy, that's probably it.
Although Chelsea gave the media and fans the impression that they didn't take Atletico Madrid seriously at all, and they could kill the opponent in the second leg, in fact, in almost every training session, Mourinho had to emphasize the importance of this game, you can play the opponent 3:0 at your home stadium, why can't the opponent play you 3:0?
With the start of the long season, it is almost impossible for Atletico to win the league title under the pressure of Barcelona and Real Madrid, but in the Champions League, as long as you can win one, you can get one prize money, and the more you win, the further you go, the more money you get.
Atletico Madrid is not a rich club, and there are no big financiers behind it, they care about the money, so even if it is for the money, they will do their best.
What's more, in La Liga, the revenue share of TV broadcasts is completely uneven, basically the majority of the head is taken by Barcelona and Real Madrid, and the remaining teams can only get a small part of it, which makes La Liga ranked first in Europe, but in fact it is just a two-person transfer between Barcelona and Real Madrid, and other teams can occasionally rush up once, but that is too rare.
So it's obviously unrealistic for Atletico Madrid to make a living on broadcast fees, so the Champions League has become their goal, after all, the format of the Champions League is different from the league, as long as you go far, the more bonuses you get, which is very good, and it won't be artificially reduced.
How powerful is a red-eyed Atletico Madrid, in fact, many people have seen it, they can kill Real Madrid and Barcelona! Even taking out Chelsea is not out of the question.
That's because I know that. Mourinho will constantly tell his players to keep a clear head and not think that they will be complacent if they win 3-0. This knockout round isn't over yet.
Chelsea's goal is not the same as Atletico's, who may be in it for money. It would have been a surprise to be lucky enough to win a title, but from the beginning to the end, Chelsea had only one goal, that is, the title, the Champions League, and nothing else was thought about at all.
With last season's results, it's understandable that they are aiming for the title, and the whole team is full of confidence. It's completely ready to win two consecutive titles, and in that case, you can't overturn in the gutter on a team like Atletico Madrid.
Why do they dare to challenge the media? Dare to challenge authority? That's because they have strength! Isn't it if you let a team with poor results challenge UEFA's authority? It is estimated that he will be sent back to his hometown directly if he does not qualify for the group stage.
Chelsea have confidence, they are fearless, last season's Champions League final was so dark, they all won the Champions League, what else is impossible this season?
In the away showdown with Atletico Madrid, Chelsea sent the most complete field. It is also the strongest squad at the moment, Hazard was unable to play because of a minor leg injury, and Mourinho asked him to recuperate. It's to be able to play better in the next games, but it would be a pity not to miss the Champions League final again.
In this game, Lin Yu still played on the left side. And Torres, who is in great form and not inferior to Hazard at all, once again plays as a central striker.
Chelsea want to be assured of victory as soon as possible. Lin Yu wants to score again, and Torres wants to be a winner in life again. So they didn't play conservatively at all.
Atletico Madrid has lost because of the away game, this home has no choice at all, and it must be won, otherwise not only will it not get the bonus, but it will also be quite embarrassing, so even if Simeone is unwilling, he must play against Chelsea again.
It's just that in this game, Simeone obviously needs to focus on strengthening Lin Yu's defense, and he probably doesn't want to make the same mistake again.
Everyone knows that offensive football is generally very exciting, and the reason for the excitement is that because of the attack, the holes in the defense will increase, the goals will be more, and the chances of shooting will be more, so that the pace of the game will be greatly accelerated, and the fans will enjoy watching it.
Now that Chelsea has three goals in hand, it can be said that the advantage is very big, they are not afraid to attack, the opponent can score a few, they will return a few, and it is an away goal, so in this game, Mourinho has not been as conservative as in the past, has become very open, and even Luiz, who has never dared to easily play in important games, also started in this game.
Luis hopes that he can become a player like Beckenbauer, but at the moment he is not, it depends on whether he can prove himself in this game, otherwise he will probably have to play as a substitute for others, which is a bit of a pity for his skills.
Before the game, the media unanimously said that Chelsea would definitely be able to win Atletico Madrid easily, and apart from a few pro-Atletico media outlets in Spain, public opinion was basically one-sided.
After all, Chelsea has such a big advantage now, if Atletico Madrid can win Chelsea to advance, then I'm afraid even Atletico Madrid itself can't believe it.
Of course, there is always a gimmick to be found in the game, and now that Chelsea have won, what else is there to watch?
There are naturally some highlights, one is whether Lin Yu can continue to score goals and regain his first place in the Champions League scorer list again.
Why is it called taking it back again? That's because in the second leg of the game that had ended before, Real Madrid defeated AC Milan, and Ronaldo scored three goals, suddenly from ten goals to thirteen goals, which exceeded Lin Yu's twelve goals, and Messi also scored twice, and the number of goals reached eleven, which made Lin Yu very tight.
Maybe competition can really stimulate a person, otherwise, why did Messi never have such a crazy number of goals before Ronaldo went to La Liga?
Now it's just that the competitors have changed, Messi and Ronaldo have regarded Lin Yu as a competitor, which also stimulates their potential.
In the past, thirteen goals could really win the Champions League Golden Boot, but now Ronaldo is not at ease, because the match between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid has not yet started.
The media thought that Lin Yu would be afraid of this. Worried because of this, but when they interviewed Lin Yu. But they received an answer that they didn't expect.
"Really? They scored a hat-trick and scored a brace. It's amazing! But the Champions League Golden Boot is still mine! By the way, I definitely won't make up the number of goals by squeezing the scoring opportunities of my teammates, Torres is the starting striker in this game, the first thing I have to do is to help him score, as for me, it doesn't matter if I score or not, anyway, we are going to chase the championship, and there will be more opportunities to score goals in the future. ”
Lin Yu's words really made many people crazy.
They thought that Lin Yu was simply arrogant and arrogant. I completely regard myself as the real number one in the world.
However, there are also fans who like Lin Yu who think that Lin Yu's answer is simply wonderful, and the players who rely on squeezing their teammates' scoring opportunities to make up the numbers are not necessarily good, because he may not be able to help the team win, and Lin Yu is different, Lin Yu's heart, the team's victory is always higher than his personal honor.
Perhaps because of this, he can always get the selfless cooperation of his teammates, and the number of goals is indispensable.
Lin Yu liked the words of the three musketeers: "Everyone is for me." I am for all! Actually, it's better to say the other way around - "I am for all, all are for me!" ”
Although he is already a two-time Ballon d'Or winner, Lin Yu has never looked down on his teammates because of this, and has never even yelled at his teammates on or off the court. He knows that in addition to his personal efforts, the cooperation of his teammates is the most important thing.
No teammates. Even if he Lin Yu really had to be an alien, he would not have achieved such an achievement today. Therefore, people, always remember the good in others. In this way, others will give you more help, otherwise you are a white-eyed wolf, who cares about you.
"Of course, I don't deny the abilities of those two contenders, but I'm better than them, so I can hold them down!" Lin Yu's last sentence was actually what he really wanted to say the most.
Lin Yu wanted to create scoring opportunities for Torres, but his teammates were obviously still used to seeing him as a finisher, so many of the balls that had a chance to shoot were passed to him.
In the face of such a situation, Lin Yu will not kick back to his teammates, since he has the opportunity to shoot and kick back, it is to do it, it is really hypocritical.
In fact, including Torres, the whole Chelsea team has a common goal, they don't want to see other players press on Lin Yu's head, they want Lin Yu to score more goals, which is why they frequently pass the ball to Lin Yu's feet.
The number one scorer in the Champions League can only be our Chelsea people, how can we let others show off there?
However, Atletico Madrid's defense today is in place, especially against Lin Yu's defense, which is really hard work, and it is definitely much better than the previous leg.
Oscar took the ball in the midfield to advance, he wanted to take a few more steps, and then he could give Lin Yu a through ball, but he didn't expect the opponent to follow too closely, and three people came to wrap it up in an instant, but Oscar didn't pass the ball, but he was put to the ground and lost the ball.
The key goal has not been judged to be a foul, so Atletico Madrid came to a quick counterattack after a midfield tackle, fortunately Chelsea's back line is still solid enough, so it blocked this counterattack, otherwise if you concede a goal first, the scene is really difficult to open.
In fact, this goal is just a microcosm, Atletico Madrid in the first half of the game was completely reckless in their physical strength, whether it was offensive or defensive, they were like a group of crazy people who had beaten chicken blood, it was really a little scary.
That's all telling Chelsea "Anyway, if you can't win this game, you'll be eliminated, I'm not afraid of getting hurt!" ”
But Chelsea can't do it, Chelsea already have three goals in hand, they can't fight for such a game, after all, there are still many games to play, if you get injured in such a game, it is really unreasonable.
Because of this, the fighting spirit of the two teams on the field is completely different, and Atletico Madrid's madness and Chelsea's stretch are both clearly visible.
As long as Oscar, Lin Yu, Torres and these players get the ball, there will be a bunch of Atletico Madrid players around them, even if it is a foul, they have to grab the ball, and today's referee's whistle is obviously looser, although it is not an obvious black whistle, but the home whistle is still a little serious, which also makes Chelsea play very depressed.
The only consolation was that Chelsea's defence did a decent job, and although they failed to score until the end of the first half, they did not allow the opposition to score, and the two sides played to a 0-0 draw.
In fact, if such a result ends the game, it will not be unacceptable for Chelsea, because they can still qualify.
But for Lin Yu, it's a little unhappy, he said in front of the media that he wanted Torres to score, and he also said that he would definitely score at least one goal, if the whole game ends 0:0, not to mention the ridicule of those media, he himself looks down on himself.
In the dressing room, the Chelsea players were touching the scars they had just left on their bodies and couldn't help but shout: "Those crazy people, where is this kicking, this is a kicking tournament at all." ”
"But they played so crazy in the first half, did they still have the strength to play in the second half?" Mourinho suddenly walked in and said with a smile: "Actually, I can understand your feelings, but it doesn't matter, such a crazy style of play, your physical strength can't last long."
