Chapter 233: Equalization (Adding a Change for the Little Fat Pig Pig Alliance Leader)
In Getafe's dressing room, their half-time look tense and efficient, and full of optimism.
And that's not to be seen in the dressing room of Atletico Madrid.
Max. Alonso was very chaotic in the first five minutes.
He was a harsh critic of the players' performance in the first half, saying that their poor performance had disgraced him and that he had disgraced the club's chairman, Mr Hill.
He spoke incoherently, upside down with those words, like he did in his pre-match press conference. Keegan's "Legacy Wind".
After five minutes of self-confusion, he finally realized that there was no point in continuing to scold like this.
He had to make some changes.
First of all, he must know in which direction to change.
Now he has to do a multiple-choice question.
Judging from the first half of the game, the odds of a big win over Getafe at home are not very good, or even very small.
That means there is a high risk that he will not be able to complete the tasks given to him by Mr. President.
If you still focus on finding a way to beat Getafe, you may allow the opponent to take advantage of the opportunity to counter-attack and score another goal or two.
Then a new problem will arise - not only will Atletico Madrid not be able to help Mr. President get revenge, they may also lose their qualification for promotion!
Max. Alonso now has to choose whether to get revenge on the Chairman, or to make sure the team is at least promoted.
If he were to choose the latter, it would mean that he would be much more pragmatic. He's not going to aim for a lot of goals, he's just going to be able to win, whether it's one or two.
Then his tactics should also be modified, and he should pay more attention to efficiency in the second half, instead of waving Wang Baquan and beating him all the way.
It's just that if he chooses the latter, he'll have to be prepared to bear the burden of being hailed from Jesús. Ciel's anger burned......
It took two minutes. Max. Alonso finally made a decision.
He chose to secure the upgrade first.
He thought that even if he didn't complete the task of helping Mr. Chairman get revenge, as long as he led the team to promotion. Such a big credit can always be offset. Maybe for the sake of him leading the team to promotion, Hill won't let him go to class.
And when the time comes. The fans may also be on their side. Even if Hill wants to fire himself, he may have to think a little bit about the reaction of the fans.
Therefore, when the time comes, as long as he leads the team to a successful promotion, Hill may not be able to fire himself so easily......
When Marcos. With Alonso making his choice, the break was just over seven minutes away.
He then began to scramble with his latest instructions to his players, asking them to slow down in the second half, not to storm the Getafe goal, to be careful of the space behind them, and to control the tempo......
The Atletico Madrid players looked at their manager in amazement, wondering why he had never mentioned revenge again – the exact opposite of their previous tactical preparations.
Some of the Atletico Madrid players were at a loss. I don't know what exactly I'm supposed to do.
Don't we need to avenge our beloved President? Don't we need to avenge that 3-0 in the first half of the season?
Max. Alonso saw the players' expressions and read the doubts inside.
He knew what these people were wondering about.
But he couldn't explain it to them.
Because of this...... He couldn't explain it!
Do you have to admit to your players that you can't do anything with Getafe? Can you just give up the idea of revenge for a while and make sure you can win first?
If you do this, it will be a big blow to the morale of the team.
This unexplainable feeling is terrible!
※※※
Halftime for Marcos. For Alonso, it was like an ordeal.
Finally. He survived the half-time break and the whole team was on the pitch.
The second half is about to begin.
He stood in front of the dugout and felt a little uncomfortable in his back, as if something was tying him.
He looked back at the podium.
It was found that the rostrum was still empty.
The feeling of being on your back is even worse.
After thinking about it, he still chose to sit back in the coach's seat, and the board was blocked behind him. He was not visible to those behind him.
When he sat down, he felt better.
He sat in the coach's box, a little self-deprecating, thinking that it was so painful to coach a team under Hill, why was he reluctant?
After all, it is the third strongest team in Spain, and it can be regarded as a giant in Spain......
What a resume to coach in this team and lead the team to promotion.
Who is willing to reap the good things of fame and fortune?
I had to be in pain and happy.
※※※
At the start of the second half, neither side made any substitutions.
However, discerning people have already seen that Atletico Madrid has made tactical adjustments.
They no longer had the same first-half affair as they did from the very beginning of the game, bombarding the Getafe goal, hoping to score as soon as possible.
They had to be more patient first, and in the face of Getafe's stubborn defense, they went back and forth outside, hoping to find a good opportunity.
In the first half, when they faced such a situation, more often they would choose to shoot directly from a distance and end the attack hastily.
Claispo said something that upset Atletico Madrid fans: "It seems that Atletico Madrid is fully aware that it is impossible to beat Getafe by playing like they did in the first half. They will only give Getafe more chances to counter-attack......"
The Atletico Madrid fan in front of the TV shouted angrily: "Damn! What does it mean to be impossible to defeat Getafe? We can even win against Real Madrid, why can't we win against Getafe?! ”
※※※
When Marcos. After Alonso adjusted his tactics, Atletico Madrid showed their strength. Amid the cheers of the home fans, their offensive was less fierce than before, but it was more deadly.
Getafe's defence suddenly felt the pressure.
When they are more patient, it is even harder to defend against them.
Moreover, they also have a "golden boy" Fernando who has returned to normal levels. What about Torres?
Torres was much calmer than he was in the first half.
At half-time, although the manager did not criticize him. But he was alone in his seat, with his head bowed, reflecting on his own problems.
He is a smart man, otherwise his future achievements would not be so high.
He knew it was his own single-mindedness that led to Atletico Madrid's poor attack.
When he's on the pitch, he's got his blood pumping. I was not aware of the problem.
When he got to the locker room and calmed down, he realized what a big mistake he had made.
So in the second half. He is no longer with José. Passarella was entangled.
When he got the ball, he attracted Jose. Passarella's attention, if the chances are not good. He will pass the ball decisively, instead of being driven to a dead end.
Jose. Although Passarella is excellent and has outstanding ability in one-on-one defense, no matter how strong one person is, it is impossible to defeat two with one, or even more.
When Torres doesn't stick to the ball, doesn't greed for credit, and frequently sends passes, his defense against Torres loses its meaning.
Torres's activity revitalized Atletico Madrid's attack.
The pressure on the Getafe backline is even greater.
※※※
Finally, thirteen minutes into the second half. Atletico Madrid scored the equaliser through Salva.
It was Torres who, after drawing the attention of Getafe's defence, sent the football away to Salva, who scored with almost no markers.
When Salva scored, Calderón, who had been suppressed for fifty-eight minutes, finally burst into a deafening cheer.
Atletico Madrid fans are venting their emotions.
"Well done! Salva! ”
"Show those damned Getafetes! This is the real Atletico Madrid! ”
"Atletico Madrid must win! It will be us who go to the first division! ”
Atletico Madrid fans in the stands and in front of the TV are waving their fists. Demonstratively yelling.
Salva, who scored the goal, was still posing and celebrating the goal.
Torres, however, had already rushed into the goal, grabbed the ball before Getafe goalkeeper Pablo, took it in his arms and ran towards the centre circle.
It's just a draw now.
A draw does not allow Atletico Madrid to be promoted. Only victory will do.
It's not like Torres is wasting time celebrating a goal.
※※※
Max. Alonso finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Salva sweep the ball into Getafe's goal.
The pressure that had been pressing on his shoulders suddenly disappeared, making him lighter.
A draw doesn't guarantee promotion, but it's a good start. The next step is to come back and win.
The news came from the other stadium that Real Betis continued to lead Garn 1-0 away.
So this score can't actually help Atletico Madrid to get promoted.
But there is hope......
※※※
Chang Sheng frowned when he saw Atletico Madrid's players celebrating their goals from the sidelines.
In the end, I still conceded the goal......
Atletico Madrid, playing at home, is indeed not to be underestimated.
If I hadn't provoked Hill before the game and made them waste half of the game, I am afraid that this game would be much more difficult than it is now.
However, this conceded goal only made him frown, and in less than two seconds, his expression returned to normal.
A draw will not allow Atletico Madrid to be promoted, it will only give them hope of promotion. So they will attack harder under the impetus of this hope.
This means that there will be more space behind them.
And Getafe, who is always winning, is the best at playing defensive counterattacks, which is the one who likes to catch the holes in the opponent's defense line and have empty behind......
In this way, Getafe will have more opportunities.
※※※
Flores sat in the box, surrounded by Atletico Madrid fans, who jumped up from their seats one by one after Salva's goal, cheering, even demonstratively.
Someone else waved their fists at him.
Because in the first half, when Getafe scored, he jumped up and cheered loudly. This already indicates his identity.
Naturally, the Atletico Madrid fans in the box would not beat him up, but it was still possible to use the goal to taunt Flores and demonstrate to him.
Flores turned a deaf ear to the noisy Atletico Madrid fans around him.
His eyes were fixed on the pitch below.
You're not going to settle for just a draw, right, often?
※※※
ps, at first I thought it was just a monthly pass that arrived, and I had to add more.
So when I finished adding more, I accidentally glanced at the book review area, only to realize that I was wrong......
Not only is the monthly pass to be added, but also the birth of a new alliance leader to be added!
