Chapter 277: Goalline Technique
Atletico Madrid beat Olympiacos 4-0 at home to secure the top spot in the group one round ahead of schedule, and can finally put the Champions League aside for the time being.
After the Champions League, the 13th round of La Liga arrived soon after the weekend.
In this season's La Liga, the winter break is scheduled after the 16th round of the league, but because Atletico Madrid will play in the Club World Cup in December, the 16th round of the league will be postponed to February next year.
So Atletico Madrid will have three league games before the winter break, a Copa del Rey match and a Champions League match, and of course two Club World Cup matches, for a total of seven games. These seven games will be followed by the winter break, and Ringer will also return to the Asian Cup during the winter break.
According to Simeone's arrangement, in the seven games before the winter break, the Copa del Rey and the final group stage of the Champions League, which are already irrelevant, Atletico Madrid will be able to directly substitute players, while the remaining three league games and two Club World Cup games will need to be focused on.
On November 30, in the 13th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid faced Deportivo La Coruna at home.
The current Deportivo La Coruna is no longer the Super Laco it used to be, just a La Liga promotion horse, and there are no good players in the team, and it was humiliated by Real Madrid 8:2 at home two months ago.
Facing a long-lost Deportivo La Coruna, Atletico Madrid is proactive at home.
Atletico Madrid pressed heavily at the beginning, Deportivo Deportivo defended tenaciously, and although Atletico Madrid dominated the opening half hour, there were no good chances.
In the 36th minute, Griezmann received a cross from the side of Alda Turan in the penalty area, attracted the opponent's defense and turned the ball back, Ringer met the ball at the edge of the penalty area and volleyed it straight into the bottom left corner of the goal.
"Gooooooal~~~ Lin's long-range shot scored, and he helped the Sheets open the scoring."
"This round of La Liga Real Madrid is over, although they beat Malaga 2-1 away, but Ronaldo did not get a goal, so this game is a good opportunity for Lin to catch up on the scorer list, and he has now recovered a goal."
Ringer opened the can, and the game became a lot easier.
In the 44th minute, Saul, who got the chance to start the game, received a through ball from Thiago in the penalty area and pushed the goal to help Atletico Madrid extend the score.
Atletico Madrid had a two-goal lead in the first half, but as the Spanish commentator said, it was a good chance for Ringer to catch up with Cristiano Ronaldo, so he continued to look for goals from the start of the second half.
In the 55th minute, Ringer broke through with the ball in the middle and distributed it to Alda Turan on the left, Turan sent the ball directly to the goal without stopping, Ringer shook off the defense and followed up and fell to the ground to shovel, shoveled the ball into the opponent's goal, and completed his personal brace.
"Ringer scored twice in a row, and he also recovered two goals in the La Liga scorer list, just two goals behind Cristiano Ronaldo, and he has a chance to keep catching up."
"It's not far from the Asian Cup, and Ringer is in good form at the moment, which is good news for Chinese fans." Domestic commentators began to care about Ringer's state.
With a brace, Ringer naturally wanted to continue his hat-trick, but God didn't let him go.
In the 79th minute, Griezmann's shot won a corner for Atletico Madrid, Koke headed in a corner, Godin deliberately headed in front of the post to create a chance for others, but goalkeeper Fabry chose to attack.
Fabry attacked decisively, but he seemed to hesitate after the ball came over, and did not think clearly whether to directly knock the ball out of the box or confiscate the ball, so although he touched the ball, he neither knocked the ball out of the box nor held the ball, but let the ball fall in the small box.
There were already many people in the small penalty area, which undoubtedly caused chaos in the penalty area, Griezmann went up to hit a kick first, but the opposing French defender Diakite raised his leg to block the ball, and Ringer followed up in time.
As Ringer was not too far away from the ball, he went up with a slightly reluctant toe stab, the ball was not fast, and the Laco goalkeeper, who had fallen to the ground, immediately got up and pounced on the goal line to hold the ball.
But before the opponent held the ball, Ringer clearly saw that the ball had crossed the goal line as a whole, and it was about ten centimeters past the goal line.
Ringer immediately raised his hand to signal to the referee that the goal had been scored, as did the Atletico players in the box, and although not everyone saw whether the ball had gone or not, they certainly had to support their own.
"The ball has gone in, obviously."
Ringer spoke to the referee, but after communicating with the linesman, the opponent decided that the ball did not cross the line and that it was not a goal.
"Fuxk~~~" Ringer couldn't help but curse angrily, this was his hat trick goal, and he was hacked like this.
Taking advantage of the fact that the referee didn't hear Ringer's scolding, the veteran Thiago hurriedly took Lingla away, otherwise he would have to eat a red card.
"The referee didn't think it was a goal, but we can see from the replay that the goal has clearly crossed the line as a whole, and it seems that Lin's hat-trick can only be reduced to a brace." The commentators from all over the world are talking about this goal.
In this way, Ringer's hat-trick was gone, and Atletico Madrid could not continue to expand the score in the following time, and finally Atletico Madrid defeated Deportivo La Coruna 3-0 at home to continue to lead the La Liga standings.
There was controversy in the game, but it was still related to a big star like Ringer, so as soon as the game ended, reporters flocked to smell it.
Ringer was also unhappy with the decision, and of course complained in front of reporters.
'Obviously, it was a goal and I think everyone with long eyes saw it except for the referee.
"La Liga has more than a billion broadcast fees every year, but it is reluctant to spend millions of euros to introduce a goal-line technology, which is simply unreasonable."
"Goal line technology is now used all over Europe except for Spain, which is simply a step backwards for football ~~~"
Since the goal-line tragedy of Frank Lampard at the 2010 World Cup, FIFA has begun to promote goal-line technology, which can determine whether the ball has crossed the line through the eagle eye and notify the referee in time, which has been a huge help for many controversial goals.
Within a few years, the technology was fully rolled out and is being used by many leagues around the world.
In Europe, La Liga is the only league in the five major leagues that has not used this technology, and even slightly influential leagues such as the Portuguese Super League and the Eredivisie are using goal-line technology, but La Liga still does not.
The reason for this is to save money.
The patent for goal-line technology is in FIFA, and the leagues that use this technology have to pay 4 million euros for the royalties of FIFA every season, and La Liga is reluctant to pay this money, so there is no goal-line technology until now.
As one of the top leagues in Europe, it is strange that it is reluctant to spend 4 million euros to introduce a goal-line technology.
In this round of La Liga, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid won smoothly, and Barcelona also beat Valencia 1:0 away to score three points. So in the La Liga standings, the points gap between the top three in La Liga has not changed.
Atletico are at the top of the table with 34 points, followed by Real Madrid with 33 points and Barcelona in third place with 31 points.
In the La Liga scorer list, although Ringer was hacked by one goal, he still scored two goals, and the current number of goals has reached 18, but it is still 2 goals behind Ronaldo temporarily.
