Chapter 557: Ambition dies before it is rewarded

Villa headed the ball down, Huluwa had his back to the attack, and the ball he headed down landed right at the feet of Koke, the heart of the midfield.

Instead of stopping the ball, Koke picked it out.

Diego Costa looked up at Coke's pass and then ran away.

Merdesart had wanted to drop back to defend, but he changed his mind when he saw that Koke's pass was high and the ball was not fast, while Diego Costa was focused on the ball in the air.

The German guards gave up retreating, and instead rushed up to grab it.

Diego Costa didn't notice Merdesart, as he had noticed that Arsenal's defenders were all retreating, so he was focused on looking up at the football in the air.

Diego Costa reached for the ball to stop, but suddenly a black shadow appeared in his upward vision.

"Oh my goodness"

Before Diego Costa could think about it, the black shadow grew bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, and finally

Pressed on top of him!!

"Medsat's interception!! He jumped up and pushed the ball back, and then Ramsey cleared it with a big kick!! ”

"Merdesart pressed down on Diego Costa's body, and both of them fell to the ground at the same time, I don't know if there was a problem."

Atletico Madrid fans and players looked at referee Rizzoli at the same time, but Rizzoli did not say anything about this contact!

"This ball is not a foul!! Merdesart was the first to reach the ball, and he couldn't keep his balance in the air before he pressed on Diego Costa. If Diego Costa had paid more attention, he could have avoided it. ”

Merdesart breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as the referee didn't give a foul, in fact, his tackle was more risky, he could wait for Diego Costa to stop the football before stealing.

Medsatt stood up to pull Diego Costa up as a gesture of friendship. He was ready to be "bullstruck" by the other side, so he would choose to be patient no matter what the situation was - Diego Costa was very good at provoking the other party.

But the anger he imagined didn't strike, and Diego Costa lay on the ground holding his feet in pain, not bothering to pay attention to the other man's hand reaching out to take his hand.

Seeing that Diego Costa did not get up in the first place, Atletico Madrid's teammates were a little anxious. Villa and Koke came up and pushed Medsart away and went to check on their teammates.

Merdsat left a little embarrassed, before the other party could get angry with him.

"Oh, looks like Diego Costa's situation isn't good."

"Atletico Madrid's team doctor is on the pitch, which shows that Diego Costa is not pretending to be lying on the ground. Hopefully, it's not a recurrence of the old injury, otherwise it will be a shadow over Atletico Madrid's body. ”

Atletico Madrid's team doctor said a few words to Diego Costa after giving him a temporary examination and treatment, but the other party's face was ugly. Diego Costa shook his head and rejected the team doctor's suggestion, the team doctor was obviously not at ease, and patiently explained a few words, and finally Diego Costa hesitated, but nodded helplessly.

Eventually, everyone saw the Atletico Madrid doctor make a gesture from the TV screen.

"Oh no. Atletico Madrid's team doctor has said Diego Costa will not be able to hold on to the upcoming games and Atletico Madrid will now need to make a substitution. ”

"It looks like Diego Costa is probably affected by an old injury, and this contact is a bit painful but definitely not to the point where he can't continue playing, and Diego Costa is known to be playing with an injury."

With three minutes to go before the first half and up to five minutes of stoppage time, Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa had to leave the game early. It's cruel because the Champions League final is the most important game for most players, and many players may not be able to reach the final once in their lifetime"

"Fake!!" After seeing the gesture of the team doctor, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone turned his head directly and punched the back of his seat.

'Diego Costa was substituted and it was difficult for Atletico Madrid to play, everyone knew he was the top scorer in the Atletico Madrid team, and at the same time the most dangerous and dangerous player, so I think the Arsenal backline should be collectively relieved at this time.

In the end, Atletico Madrid had to replace Diego Costa early, and Turkish winger Alda Turan came on as a substitute.

'Alda Turan came off the bench, the attacking player of his year and a regular for Atletico Madrid, and the Turkish phenom wearing the number 10 shirt has made a total of 36 appearances for Atletico Madrid this season, scoring five goals and making 10 attacks in all competitions.

"Tulan's biggest threat comes from his dribbling and speed, his ability to dribble the ball can be described as the first in the whole team of Atletico Madrid, the core of the midfield organization Koke is not as good as him, and his speed is also the biggest highlight, although not as perverted as Li Zihan, but compared to Villa and Diego Costa, his speed is still quite fast."

Arsene Wenger was not relaxed by Atletico Madrid's substitutions, but was a lot more nervous.

Arsene Wenger would rather Simeone have Diego Costa on the pitch than Turan on the pitch, and the fact that the player can be called a once-in-a-century talent in Turkey and the number 10 core shirt of Atletico Madrid says a lot.

Diego Costa was not in great form today, and the injury-affected Brazilian striker had a mediocre game, so Wenger was not worried about him. And now they are suddenly replaced with a vigorous attacking player in the front, and Arsenal's backline may not be able to defend against it.

Given a choice between a sick tiger and a healthy cheetah, Wenger is definitely the one to choose a sick tiger.

Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines and pulled Ramsey to give him a good time.

Ramsey nodded and returned to the pitch with the manager's deployment.

The match restarted, and the new Alda Turan was very eye-catching. He was very active, often attacking Arsenal's defence with the ball, while also having a good pass and shot.

Villa was on the front court to give Turan behind him a space, resisted Arsenal's two central defenders, and became a traditional ball-making center.

Arsenal's tactics were also very clear, they gave up attacking and began to consolidate their defence, and the purpose of bringing the score to 2-1 to half-time was very clear.

"Alda Turan is very active and I think if Simeone had initially chosen to start the Turkish core instead of the injury-ridden Diego Costa, it would not have been Arsenal who might have taken the lead at this time!"

Rizzoli gave two minutes of stoppage time in the first half, but Atletico Madrid couldn't take advantage of the last chance to equalise and the two sides went into the break.

"That's it! The young referee from Italy, Rizzoli, blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and after a fifteen-minute break, the two sides will change sides again! ”

'The first half was a fantastic game, with three goals and four yellow cards! But most of the time, Arsenal has an absolute advantage, and in the face of the bombardment of Arsenal, Atletico Madrid has no choice, and finally concedes the goal as expected. However, I think that in the second half of the game, Zoli should control the frequency of cards, otherwise there is a high probability that there will be a red card in this game! ”

"The best thing in the first half was the two penalties and the brace of Li Zihan and Diego Costa, who went off injured"

Fifteen minutes of the half-time break are enough for the commentators to analyse the tactics and highlights of the first half, and then discuss the rest of the second half, and the advertising at the end. You should know that the advertising space during this time period can be very expensive.

Especially in China, because this game has Li Zihan, a Chinese player, so even though it is early in the morning, there are still many Chinese fans watching the game, and CCTV Sports Television, which has the right to broadcast the Champions League, has made a lot of money. Because other local TV stations do not have the right to broadcast the Champions League, the live video broadcast on the Internet is also purchased from CCTV.

It is said that during the intermission, a ten-second advertisement is almost close to one million yuan!

I don't know how Li Zihan, a "money fan", will feel when he hears such a speed.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 300 million people watched the final tonight in China through television, the Internet, radio, and live text

Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with China being called the country with the largest number of fans, of course, because of Li Zihan's relationship, not necessarily all of these people are fans, and some of them join in the fun

In order to curry favor with the huge market of Chinese fans, UEFA deliberately put the game in the evening of Chinese time.

It's a prime time to watch the games and the awards ceremony around one o'clock in the morning, and it's not too late to go to bed at this time.

This is the first time that Chinese fans can watch the Champions League final at such a good time period, considering the time difference between Europe and China, under normal circumstances, Chinese fans can watch the Champions League final at 12 o'clock at midnight at the earliest.

This shows how deliberate UEFA is, oh, no, how humane.

Other giants are envious of Arsenal, because Li Zihan's relationship has taken the lead in the huge Asian market. Especially after this final, whether Arsenal win the Champions League or not, their number of fans in China will skyrocket over those of the old giants.
