Chapter 171: Hat-trick
Ringer's brace gave Atletico a 2-0 lead, and the opponent was already on the verge of collapse.
In the 32nd minute, Felipe and Turan crossed and Costa's position appeared, but his shot was deflected.
Costa was one of the most positive, it was the first Champions League game of his career, and he tried hard to find a goal, but his recent form has not been very good, and he is not as agile as Ringer.
In the 37th minute, Turan crossed a high ball from the left, Raul Garcia's header in the penalty area was crossed, and Ringer's header at the back post hit the crossbar and bounced off the bottom line.
"Oh~Ring~~ He wants to exert his strength too much, otherwise this ball is a good opportunity!"
"But anyone who faces this situation will have some psychological fluctuations, after all, he has a good chance to score a hat-trick now, and he has never scored a hat-trick in a Champions League game!" Yang Ma's explanation will make up for Ringer.
The scoreboard of the first half ended at 0:2, with Ringer scoring twice to give Atletico Madrid a temporary 2-0 lead on the road.
'We were able to focus more on defending in the second half and counter-attacking them with the defensive counter-attacks that we were familiar with. That's what Simeone said at half-time, while also replacing Felipe with Insua.
Felipe was fine in the first half, and he and Turan combined on the left flank to send shells and were the main source of Atletico's attacking firepower in the first half.
However, during the national team competition, Felipe went to distant Asia with the Brazilian team to play a warm-up match with South Korea, Felipe also suffered a small injury, he didn't play in the last game with Espanyol, this Champions League Simeone still let him play in order to seek stability, but now this game is basically not a big problem, naturally let the Brazilian who has just recovered from injury rest.
After half-time adjustments, Vienna's form picked up in the second half.
In the 48th minute, they caught Atletico off guard with a wide-ranging shift from right to left, but Courtois held the ball back in front of goal with a cushioned shot from Hosina who followed up on the left.
In the 51st minute, another long-range shot was followed by a series of inverted balls in front of the penalty area, and their midfielder Mader had a good long-range effort that allowed Courtois to make a flying save.
After two consecutive threatening goals at the beginning of the second half, the Austrian side Vienna continued to play more and more, and the offensive gradually picked up.
So, in the 55th minute, Atletico Madrid quickly counterattacked after the ball was broken at the back, Gabi made a long pass to Raul Garcia in the midfield, and Raul Garcia then transferred to Koke on the right side, and Koke crossed directly in front of the penalty area without stopping.
Ringer followed up from the middle and quickly cut in, got in time to receive the ball and accelerated into the box.
In the penalty area against the opposing defender Sutner, Ringer raised his right foot to hit the goal, but he smashed the ball back to the left, and then there was space to hit the goal, and he also took the left foot to push the far corner.
"Lin ~~ smash the ball~~ push and shoot!!"
The angle of the shot was good, and Vienna's goalkeeper Lindner was still a little short of making a flying save.
“Gooooool~~~~~~”
"Hat trick~~ Lin's hat trick!!"
"Lin has scored a hat-trick, this is the first time in his career that Lin has scored a hat-trick in the Champions League, we congratulate him!!"
The domestic commentators are also cheering excitedly: "Ringer~~ Ringer's third goal!" Hat-trick, his first Champions League hat-trick, first hat-trick in the Champions League!! ”
Ringer, who scored the goal, spread his arms and ran to the edge of the pitch to receive the cheers of the fans.
It's a pity that this is an away game, the Spanish economy has declined in recent years, plus the Spaniards themselves are relatively lazy, and they are not so keen on going to the away game, only more fans in their early 1,000s came to the away stadium in this game, and Ringer got more boos from the home fans.
"Lin~~ Lin's Champions League goals this season have reached 6, which is only equal to his Champions League goals last season, but for Atletico Madrid, this is a new single-season Champions League goal record. Atletico's previous record for a single season in the Champions League was held by Sergio Aguero, who scored five goals in the 08/09 Champions League, one of which came in qualifying, which is Atletico Madrid's previous record for goals in a single season in the Champions League, and now Lin has broken that record. ”
Lin also became the second Atletico Madrid player to score a hat-trick in the Champions League, the last to score a hat-trick in the Champions League was former Spain national team manager Luis Aragonés, who scored a hat-trick against Italian side Cagliari in the 1970/71 Champions League during his time at Atletico!
Unbeknownst to Ringer, he had inadvertently broken Atletico Madrid's weak record, and he was still celebrating wildly with his team-mates on the sidelines.
By the time Atletico had finished celebrating and the game was resuming, the morale of Austrian Vienna, who had fallen behind by three goals in the second half, had been shattered.
Already with a three-goal lead to seal the win, Simeone also began to direct the team to slow down the tempo and recycle the defence.
In this situation, both teams are slowly passing the time, except for Diego Costa, who has not yet been able to score on his Champions League debut.
Unexpectedly, this thing really ran to the opportunity, in the 79th minute, Raul Garcia midfielder's long pass, Costa ran back to get a single chance, and then played the near corner in advance.
The crazy running celebration after the goal was even crazier than Ringer's previous hat-trick, causing the whole stadium to boo him.
Costa felt that it was his first goal in the Champions League and it was normal to celebrate wildly, but Vienna didn't think so, they thought they had surrendered, the guy kept wanting to score, and after scoring a goal, he celebrated like this, it was a provocation.
So after the game restarted, as soon as Costa got the ball, the captain on the opposite side Sutner came up and made a flying tackle, Costa narrowly dodged, and then got up and immediately rushed up to the opponent.
In the end, the referee came, and one person got a yellow card.
Simeone hurriedly replaced Costa, if this product was released after the ban and caused an accident, UEFA increased penalties, maybe it would affect the team's Champions League knockout round.
Although there was a slight surprise in the end, it did not cause any major problems, and Atletico Madrid beat their opponents 4-0 away in Vienna to make it three consecutive wins in the group stage of this season's Champions League.
Asked by reporters after the game, Ringer knew that he had been written into Atletico Madrid's team history again.
"A hat-trick? It's nice to score a hat-trick, it's always difficult to score goals in the Champions League, I was in good shape today and my team-mates helped me a lot, so I have to thank them. ”
"Aragonés? He's the greatest player in the history of Atletico Madrid, he's given Atletico Madrid a lot of accolades, he's a great coach and it's under him that the Spanish national team started to succeed and it's an honour to be compared to him. ”
"Beyond Aguero? Sergio Aguero is already a well-known striker in Europe, he has proven himself and helped Manchester City win the Premier League title, and I can't say that I can surpass him. ”
"The Champions League Golden Boot? If there's a chance, why not? ”
