Chapter 296: Return to Normal

"PISZCZEK - GOOOOO!!OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The narrator's long-pitched roar was heard on the television.

The mobile phone in Sun Pan's hand fell on the carpet again, and he was still undecided, just staring blankly at the TV screen.

This time he was not surprised that Atletico Madrid conceded a third goal.

What sounded in his mind was Zhou Yi's voice.

"Eh, Panpan, you don't seem to have seen us at full fire, have you?"

"You'll have to watch this game live tomorrow!"

"Full fire...... Sun Pan muttered. He finally understood now what Zhou Yi meant by "full fire".

It turns out that this is what Dortmund looks like with all the firepower!

Three goals in fifteen minutes! In the semi-finals of the Champions League, the team is really still Atletico Madrid, which is known for its tenacity and pressing!

It's horrible......

He suddenly thought of that conversation about the "secret weapon" again.

Zhou Yi said that he had a secret weapon, and he thought that Zhou Yi was talking nonsense and playing psychological warfare again, but in fact, he didn't say that he had it, and he was bluffing.

Now he realized that he had guessed wrong......

It turns out that there really is!!

※※※

"Three goals in fifteen minutes! Can we say that the game ended early? No...... Maybe not, Atletico Madrid still have a chance, as long as they can score a goal, the situation is still manageable...... But in any case, Dortmund's three-board axe in the opening fifteen minutes really stunned Atletico Madrid. I don't know if they can recover from it......" After being excited and excited, He Ping calmed down a little and said analytically.

On the Chinese Internet, everyone also exploded.

"Three goals in fifteen minutes! Who would have thought that......"

"Doesn't it mean that Dortmund is fighting on two fronts now and is too busy to take care of itself?

"They are the defending champions, Atletico Madrid is like a schoolboy in front of them......"

"Zhou Yi is too dick! It's all his attack, and Atletico Madrid can't parry it at all!"

......

In Germany, Marcel Leif also expressed his exclamation: "It's incredible! This is definitely the most shocking first fifteen minutes I've ever seen! In fact, against Dortmund's rapid attack, Atletico Madrid has chosen to shrink the defense, but even if they shrink back, they still concede another goal in a very short time...... I think that's the biggest blow to Atletico Madrid......"

He was right, when the Dortmund players celebrated their goal for the third time, the Atletico Madrid players finally showed a deep look in their eyes this time.

They couldn't figure it out, they had already listened to the command and order, and quickly regained the defense. Why do you still concede goals......

If the first two goals were pressed and forced to cause the gap behind them, then how to explain the third goal?

For the first time, the Atletico Madrid players began to wonder if what they were sticking to made sense, and their confidence in Simeone was shaken a little.

That's the worst thing.

The team that conceded goals in quick succession at the beginning and was not defeated is now shaken......

Simeone also looked depressed, and Dortmund's third goal hit him hard.

He saw the first two goals conceded as his tactics being restrained by the opposition.

Okay, so he adjusted his tactics. Shrink the defense, don't go up and press.

It's all right, right?

No, the slap in the face came faster!

Just a minute after conceding the last goal, Borussia Dortmund scored again!

Simeone, who hit him, began to wonder if he had made a mistake......

Otherwise, why would you still concede the goal after adjusting your tactics? And it will be faster.

This time, Simeone couldn't give any advice and adjustment to the team in the first place, because he himself was confused......

Simeone is cunning and intelligent, and this has been evident since he was a player – in the 1998 World Cup, Argentina versus England, and the match between England and Argentina always has a lot of stories to tell because of the Falklands War years ago and the classic "Anglo-Argentine battle" at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

The 1998 Anglo-Argentine battle was a loud blast of Owen's classic goal, Zanetti's classic free-kick combination, and a red card and a classic "show".

At that time, Simeone fouled Beckham, and the young and vigorous Beckham was angry, and he was lying on the ground and crossed his leg to touch Simeone's calf.

Simeone, who was standing in front of the referee, kicked backwards and sat down on the ground.

Simeone's movements, while exaggerated, work well. Danish referee Nelson, who witnessed the whole process, directly sent Beckham off with a red card.

The rest of the story is known to the whole world – England, one man less, were knocked out by Argentina in the final penalty shoot-out. Beckham, who was sent off with a red card, became the main culprit of England's elimination from the competition, and was reprimanded and scolded by England. You must know that Ferguson stepped up, I am afraid that there is no such person as Beckham in world football......

Simeone was definitely very smart at the time, but Beckham's kick wasn't strong enough to make him fall. But Simeone made good use of Beckham's point, and also used the rules perfectly.

The rules are very strict on retaliation.

Regardless of whether the retaliation has caused serious consequences to the opposing player, as long as it is of the nature of retaliation, heavy penalties will be imposed.

This is to prevent players from both sides fighting each other and retaliating on the court.

With Simeone, a cunning and intelligent person, this time it was planted on Dortmund.

This can only be said that Klopp and Zhou Yi are also very cunning and smart......

The game resumed when the Dortmund players finished their full celebration and returned to their respective positions.

Atletico Madrid was completely stunned by Dortmund's three axes, and they couldn't organize an effective offensive at all, not to mention, they were also full of holes in defense, which made Atletico Madrid fans nervous.

For example, in the eighteenth minute, Dort launched an attack, and Zhou Yi's cold shot from outside the penalty area had bypassed the defenders in the penalty area, as well as Courtois's ten fingers, but hit the crossbar!

It scared the fans of Atletico Madrid, but also made the fans of Dortmund regretful.

"The crossbar! The crossbar of the West** Stadium ruthlessly blocked Zhou Yi's long-range shot! If this goal had been scored, Dortmund would have a four-goal lead over Atletico Madrid! Four goals were scored in the first 20 minutes of the game, something like this has never happened in a Champions League semi-final...... Marcel Leif said.

"If Zhou Yi scores this goal, we can not only say that this game is over early, but even the next round of the game will end early......" He Ping said.

Dortmund's quick passing style continued until the twenty-second minute, when it finally slowed down.

After all, this style of play requires a lot of physical fitness, and it is difficult to shoot the ball quickly and accurately while constantly running.

No team can play like this for 90 minutes, not even 45 minutes.

Dortmund also had to rest after playing like that.

When Dortmund got the ball, they started to kick back and forth in central midfield and were not in a hurry to attack.

Those Atletico Madrid fans breathed a sigh of relief - the storm had finally passed.

'Borussia Dortmund seem to have adjusted their tactics...... But this is also normal, and it is really impossible for them to play like that for a long time. It looks like Dortmund will be able to hold out for more than twenty minutes with all their might...... Before that, though, they had scored three goals. It seems that the Dortmund plan was right. Use this tactic to catch Atletico Madrid off guard, and then try to score goals, the sooner you score, the better, and the more goals, the better. Marcel Leif analyzed. Before the game, everyone was asking if Dortmund had to train behind closed doors, and Klopp replied that it was because of a secret weapon, and this answer was ridiculed, and now it seems that there is indeed a secret weapon, but it is not the same as the secret weapon that everyone thinks...... This is our 'secret weapon' that we are no strangers to...... The three days of closed training seem to be just some intensive training for Atletico Madrid, so there is nothing impossible about three days......"

After Borussia Dortmund slowed down, Atletico Madrid's days were better.

They also recovered from conceding three goals in a row and were able to play normally.

Because I don't know if Dortmund's slowness is a smoke bomb, Atletico Madrid still chooses to continue to shrink the defense and dare not easily force out to grab.

Dortmund was not in a hurry, slowly falling to the ground, slowly circling around, and at the same time allowing physical recovery and recovery.

Of course, Atletico Madrid is not completely out of the cracks.

In short, compared to the first 20 minutes, the game is more like a normal game.

In the 27th minute, Atletico Madrid played a counter-attack, Diego Costa fired a right-footed shot from 16 meters on the right side of the penalty area, the football went wide of the near corner, and it was Atletico Madrid's first shot of the game.

In the 31st minute, Gabi knocked down Zhou Yi for a foul, Dortmund won a free kick in front, Zhou Yilai took the free kick, he did not shoot directly, but hoisted the football into the penalty area, and the football was grabbed by Godin before Mark headed out of the penalty area.

In the 33rd minute, Hummels sent a long pass from the back, and Aubameyang made a mistake when he stopped the ball in the penalty area, and failed to take advantage of the opportunity, and Atletico Madrid took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

After reaching the front court, Gabi sent a cross and Mario Suarez fired a right-footed volley from 25 yards, which went just wide.

In the 38th minute, Reuss took a corner kick that Courtois easily picked up.

In the 41st minute, Reus stopped the ball with his chest from 14 yards from goal and then volleyed with his right foot, which Juanfran turned sideways to keep the ball out. Royce raised his hand to signal that Juanfran had fouled the ball, but slow-motion footage showed Juanfran with his hands behind his back as he blocked the ball.

Soon after, the first half ended with the score at 3-0, and although Dortmund slowed down the tempo, Atletico Madrid was still on the back foot, and although there were some chances, they were still far from scoring.
