Chapter 263: Wearing a Hat
As the defending champions, Atletico failed to pick up three points in the opening game of the new Champions League, and according to the Spanish media, Olympiacos did what Real Madrid could not do.
You must know that Atletico Madrid is a team that is good at defense, in the Champions League last season, except for the Champions League final and Real Madrid's 3:3 draw, the other 12 Champions League games, Atletico Madrid also conceded a total of only 5 goals, and no one in the Champions League except Real Madrid was able to break Atletico Madrid's goal twice. And Real Madrid only drew 1-1 with Atletico Madrid in 90 minutes, and only scored two other goals in extra time, and now Olympiacos has only scored three times in 90 minutes.
In fact, this also reflects Atletico's problems, after the change of lineup, there are some problems in the team's backline, and the defense is no longer as solid as last season.
However, these are all issues that the Atletico coaching staff need to consider, and Ringer just needs to do his job.
On September 20, in the 4th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid will face Celta Vigo at home.
In the early hours of this round, Real Madrid played a very exaggerated score away from home, beating promoted Mara Coruna 8-2.
Although Deportivo La Coruna is a promoted horse, it is definitely not an ordinary promoted horse, the name of Super Laco was not small, and the Riazor Stadium was once a place that Real Madrid could not conquer, Real Madrid has not been able to get a victory at the home of Super Laco for 18 consecutive years.
Unexpectedly, now Real Madrid actually played such a big score at the Riazor Stadium, which is a score that broke the record in the history of Real Madrid, and Real Madrid did it for the first time to score 8 goals away from home.
And Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in this game, and he also became the first player in La Liga to complete a hat-trick this season.
According to Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid have begun to find their form.
After a 5-1 home win in the Champions League and then an 8-2 away win in the league, Real Madrid did look like they were back in form.
However, Ringer is more concerned about Ronaldo's good performance. Ringer knows that in this year's Ballon d'Or competition, Ronaldo is his biggest opponent.
At 6 p.m., the match for Atletico Madrid officially arrived.
Simeone's European ban has ended, but the La Liga ban continues, so he can only be in the stands for this game.
At the start of the game, the whole Atletico team was actively looking for opportunities. If you can't win the Champions League, then you must win this league, this is the consensus of the whole team.
But in the 18th minute, Atletico conceded the first goal again.
Atletico Madrid did not give Celta a chance, and the opponent could only choose a long pass in the midfield to try his luck, but he didn't expect to play a dribble.
The opposition midfielder's long pass into the penalty area was met by Celta's Chilean striker Pablo Hernandez running towards goal, but he had no chance to get the ball under Godin's defense. But in the case of no chance in front of the goal, the Chilean turned his back to the goal and swung his calf back, just rubbing his heel against the ball, Moya didn't expect the opponent to have such a "shot", he was not ready to save at all, and the ball slowly rolled into the Atletico goal.
Just like that, an inexplicable goal made Atletico Madrid fall behind the score.
"When you're not in a good shape, even luck can work against you." This is what the domestic commentator said about the conceded goal.
"Fuxk~~ Bastard!!" Simeone in the stands couldn't help but curse.
Simeone was very dissatisfied with Moya's performance just now, this rubbing "shot", the ball speed was not fast at all, Moya was ready to save at any time, there was a great chance to save the ball.
Another time the opening goal was conceded first, but fortunately, this was on their home turf, and Atletico Madrid's overall strength was also more dominant, and Atletico soon began a strong counterattack.
In the 29th minute, Griezmann's breakthrough on the left flank created a free kick for Atletico, and Koke's free kick was crossed, and Ringer suddenly poked forward on tiptoe in the box and stabbed the ball into the opposition goal.
“Gooooool~~~~”
"Lin~~~ It's Lin's goal again!!"
'He helped the Sheets equalise and it was his third consecutive league goal!!'
Ringer helped Atletico equalise, but it wasn't enough, and the scoreline was certainly going to be a three-point win at home.
So, 10 minutes later, Ringer received Griezmann's cross and pushed the ball into the far corner but the goalkeeper saved the ball, but it was this corner opportunity that Miranda headed home in front of the goal, and Atletico Madrid reversed the score in the first half.
But the good times did not last long, in the first half of injury time, the opponent relied on a long pass opportunity to hit the ball into the penalty area, Miranda fouled the striker in the penalty area and received a yellow card, and the referee also gave the opponent a penalty.
With this penalty, Celta managed to equalize.
'This time at home the Sheets played well, at least not like the Champions League in midweek, but I didn't expect to concede two goals in the first half, but the good thing is that now the score is tied and they still have plenty of time and there are still 45 minutes left for them in the second half.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and Atletico undoubtedly stepped up their attack, while Celta Vigo were more defensively focused and would be happy if they could get a draw at Calderon.
In the 48th minute, Ringer entered the penalty area after hitting the wall with Koke in the middle, attracted the opponent's defense and distributed to the left side, and Griezmann's follow-up shot hit the left post and bounced off the bottom line.
In the 52nd minute, Ringer received a return pass from Gabi and got a good long-range shot from outside the penalty area, but the ball was blocked by the opposing defender.
Atletico's offense has become more ferocious, while Celta de Vigo have been stubborn defensively, which has indeed left Atletico without a chance for a while.
It wasn't until 70 minutes later that Atletico finally found their chance.
In the 74th minute, Gabi and Raul Garcia stuffed the ball into the penalty area after passing through the middle, Ringer received the ball and turned around, shook off the Argentine defender Cabral who was more defensive against him, and then changed direction to feint, deceived the full-back Pranas, who was making up for the defense, and immediately kicked the goal.
The ball flew under the crotch of the opposing goalkeeper and plunged into the net.
“Gooooooal~~~~”
"Lin~~~ Lin's beautiful goal!! He received a pass from his teammate in the catch and beat two defenders in a row to form a goal!! ”
"The Sheets Legion is once again in the lead!!"
Ringer's goal gave Atletico the lead again and Celta's defence was no longer so tight.
So four minutes later, with a corner kick opportunity, Godin scored with a header to extend the score advantage to two goals.
'Atletico Madrid are a real Madrid header and they always score with headers from set-pieces and both of their centre-backs scored in this game.
The score of 4-2 was almost a sealed scoreline, but Ringer continued to look for goals. He's scored twice in his fifth game since the start of the season, but he hasn't been able to turn it into a hat-trick yet, and he'll need to keep trying.
And Ringer's rival Cristiano Ronaldo has already scored a hat-trick and he wants to perform, and Atletico's players are very cooperative with him and help him find opportunities.
After unremitting efforts, finally in the 88th minute, Celta was trying to press the attack, the defense was a little empty, and the grid broke through the opponent's last defender with the ball in the counterattack, quickly entered the penalty area, led the opponent's goalkeeper out and then distributed the ball in front of Ringer.
It was nothing short of a pie-feeding assist, and Ringer stepped forward to score a hat-trick with ease.
“Goooooool~~~~”
"Lin~~~Lin's hat trick~~~ He completed the hat trick!!"
"This is Lin's first hat-trick of the new season and the second in La Liga this season!!"
"On the same day, the same two teams from Madrid scored a hat-trick!!"
Ringer's hat-trick is another after Ronaldo's hat-trick and the second in La Liga this season.
“Lingoal~~~Lingoal~~~”
Ringer's hat-trick sent Calderón Stadium to a boil, and everyone cheered on Ringer's hat-trick.
Ringer's goal was also the last goal of the game, and soon the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Atletico Madrid relied on Ringer's hat-trick to score from Godin and Miranda to beat Celta 5-2 at home.
