Chapter 133: Against Atletico Madrid! Waltz volley! (8k end match)

"Beep!"

As Leicester's players sent in the centre circle, Atletico Madrid's three lines began to press slowly, with unity of action and tactical discipline, and everyone knew what they were going to do in this game.

Over the years, Simeone has coached this team very well, and it will be very difficult for any strong team to play against them in the cup.

In the Premier League played by Leicester City, most of the strong teams are blooming, including Chelsea, which is good at defending and counterattacking, Arsenal, which plays beautiful football, and Manchester City, which plays the ultimate pass control.

They can all be called kings in their respective fields.

But in any case, there is no team in the Premier League that is exactly the same style as Atletico Madrid.

This team is like a lone show, and in the past few years, it has monopolized the name of 'Iron Blood'.

Leicester City can only grope for this game, and they can only use their five senses to feel the miraculous 'Atletico style' that is rumored by the outside world.

Extraordinary overall linkage, iron-blooded defense, always more active than the opponent!

They can only experience and adapt to these on the court!

"Bang!"

Chen Yufeng knocked the ball back to N'Golo Kante in another attack, and he was already feeling the pressure from his opponent.

The opponent defended him very hard, and the way to defend was actually very simple, that is, to invest in the number of people, or even to invest in a local defensive group of four people.

Atletico Madrid's defense is not the same as that of other teams, their linkage is terrible, these four players seem to be sharing a brain, you go up and down, one person will grab someone to fill the position at two meters, and then there are two people doing instigation.

Chen Yufeng felt very clearly, as long as he broke through with a ball, the opponent player could quickly complete the effective destruction.

"You can only rely on moving the ball to see if Mahrez's side can rely on the numerical advantage to complete the breakthrough and then pass into the box to create a threat."

After playing for a while, he had this idea in his heart, "Or just wait for the fatigue period of Atletico Madrid to come, the defense is more tiring than the attack, and the concentration for a long time is very consuming of brain and mental energy." ”

"Seventy minutes later, they probably won't be so strong."

Again, Chen Yufeng's breakthrough needs space, even if he can arch through the crowd like a bulldozer, there are always dexterous people on the opposite side who can stab his football.

He doesn't have the ability to break through in a small area like Diego Maradora, and Da Luo's breakthrough also requires a certain amount of small space.

As for speed, this is a casual skill, sometimes it works very well, sometimes it works very poorly, and the opponent's defense is very good, so he can't do anything.

I can only say that I hope to find an opportunity to use it......

On the other side, in the CCTV commentary area, CCTV commentator Liu Jiayuan sat in the commentary seat and brought the broadcast of the game to the audience and friends in front of the TV.

'Atletico Madrid defended Leicester very hard in the opening stages, Chen Yufeng tried to cut inside once, but it was saved by Oblak, and Vardy's turning volley didn't hit the power.

Liu Jiayuan said his analysis in the fourteenth minute of the game, "The current situation is that even if Leicester City can create some chances through the individual ability of the players, it is not a great opportunity. ”

"The linkage between the Atletico players will force them to be further away from the goal and have a harder time hitting the target."

'It's a rare situation for Leicester who tend to get quick results in their first few attacks, and even if they don't score in the whole half, they won't be as weak as they were today.

"Efficiency is their greatest characteristic."

"If it doesn't work, it proves that Atletico have been very successful and they will most likely have an attacking backhand for a while."

As a CCTV commentator, Liu Jiayuan's narration ability must be passable, not to mention his understanding of football.

From the perspective of a bystander's God, he was right.

The bystander is clear, this sentence is true.

If Leicester City don't play an efficient attacking organization and have a clear offensive and defensive choice, then they will fall into a confused situation.

Once confused, Atletico can take advantage of the situation.

In the twenty-second minute of the game, Liu Jiayuan's worried scene appeared.

Under the watchful eye of the Stade Calderón fans, Atletico Madrid played a very efficient attacking play, and Leicester City were already in danger from the moment centre-back Godin cut off Jamie Vardy's football.

"Bang!"

Godin first fed a cross to right wing-back Juanfran who took a few steps before moving wide to left midfielder Koke.

From this pass, Atletico's attacking plan was revealed.

Bypass N'Golo Kante and grab two of Leicester's already aged full-backs!

Fox and Danny Simpson are both players who can't stand the toss, and their performance this season is far less consistent than last season.

"Cork!"

On the left wing, Cork received the ball and turned to hear Griezmann's shout, he turned his head to see Griezmann diagonally behind Fox.

Cork didn't hesitate, and sent a penetrating diagonal pass that instantly pierced Fox.

"Atletico Madrid's chances, their attack is very vigorous! Football has come to the feet of Antoine Griezmann! ”

"Antoine Griezmann crosses the ball! The landing point is good, it is Torres and Carrasco who are outflanked in the middle! And Saul and Cork! ”

"It was Carrasco who stabbed the football! The ball is in! Atletico Madrid leads 1-0! ”

"This is a scene that shocked me, the players of Atletico Madrid are so good at running, such a fast attack, there are four people who can quickly enter the box to outflank, and two people come to the perimeter to control the two points!"

"It's not a fluke, that's the style of this team! It wasn't luck either! ”

"One to zero! Leicester City are behind in the Champions League quarter-finals! ”

Liu Jiayuan still maintained his sanity in the quick commentary, he very clearly analyzed the reason for Atletico Madrid's goal, and did not lose his passion.

He's really a good narrator.

At this moment, the earth-shattering cheers rang out in the Calderón stadium, and the Atletico fans all stood up from their seats and waved their hands, "yes——!! ”

They certainly know how important it is to come out on top in the Champions League quarter-finals, and they know what it means to score first against a counter-attacking side like Leicester.

The semi-finals are already waving at them!

"Simeone! My God! ”

Someone shouted out two sentences that all the fans in the stadium wanted to shout, "Griezmann, my God!!" ”

"Well done! Well done! Hahahaha......! ”

"We're going to get to the semi-finals, then to the finals, and to win the championship!"

"I don't want to go through the regret story again, play at home, go and win them safely away, come on Madrid!!"

“……”

In the Atletico coach's bench on the sidelines, all the substitutes and assistant coaches came out on their knees.

“Boom……!!” Simeone also made his trademark celebratory gesture, throwing his hands not far from his crotch and throwing him back, throwing his waist to the waist, looking like he was about to dry the air.

If the excitement of the fans shows their expectations for the future of the team.

The excitement of the coaches and players can reflect their pressure release.

The game against Leicester City has been weighing on their heads like a big mountain, making it difficult for them to breathe.

It's a dark horse team in itself, you beat him, maybe nothing, if you lose, you will be sprayed to death.

Isn't it stressful?

And this sentence is not entirely accurate, as far as the media before the game is concerned, they think that Leicester City meets Atletico Madrid, and it is the most promising match to reach the last four.

Do you listen to this annoying?

Atletico Madrid is the king of the cup, and the players in the team are not cheap, and they have a unique style of play.

Speaking of us, like the villain, are we in a hurry to make a stepping stone for Leicester City, a dark horse, to brush up on experience points?

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

"Come again! Again!! ”

Simeone finally showed his fangs, waved wildly, stomped the ground with his right foot frantically, and used all his limbs to express his excitement.

After doing all this, he set his eyes on Chen Yufeng's '66' back.

Will this tenacious, late-blooming 'genius' be God's last hurdle for Atletico Madrid?

After him, will we be able to realize our dreams?

For a moment, Simeone's eyes were a little moist.

He doesn't have anything else to move, he only moves for dreams, stumbling, and regrets.

…………

"Beep!"

Leicester's players walked to their own half of the pitch in a bit of a daze, and then listened to the referee blow the whistle for the resumption of the game.

They weren't ready for it.

Even if there were, I forgot to clean it now.

"Bang!"

After the restart, Chen Yufeng began to try to create some chances with small breakthroughs.

That is, through personal ability, quickly complete the escape in a very small space, attract defenders and quickly pass the ball out, without giving the opponent the opportunity to make up for the ball.

It's a surefire strategy, as long as they create a numerical advantage for their team-mates, Atletico's defensive players are not unbeatable.

Mahrez and others have the ability to break through them, not to mention Chen Yufeng.

However, it may have been the energy that had been drawn from the goal just now, or it could have been Simeone's influence, or it could have been a strong desire for the Champions League.

The fast movement of the Atletico Madrid players in the next formation deeply surprised Chen Yufeng.

It stands to reason that his move to the ball can at least create about 2 seconds of play time for his teammates on the weak side of the defense, right?

At least for 2 seconds, he's in a 1-on-1 situation, and then in about 4 seconds, he can still maintain a 1-on-2 position, or a 2-on-2 situation, right?

But Atletico Madrid compressed all the movement by at least half a point, which is not scary at first glance, but when you substitute Mahrez at this time, you can feel it.

"With a wide shift, Mahrez stopped very well, and he chose to use the breakthrough to face the opponent's full-back Juanfran! One-on-one opportunity! ”

"It's over, Juanfran didn't guard against Mahrez! But Savage's fill was quick, with a sliding tackle! ”

"Beautiful! Riyad Mahrez deflected past Savi with a delicate lob...... Ah, Godin caught up and poked the ball out of the touchline, and Mahrez hugged his head in annoyance, looking a little annoyed. ”

Liu Jiayuan was very sorry, "Atletico Madrid's filling is too fast!" When I saw Godin just now, when the director locked on Chen Yufeng to shift his perspective, he moved to the left side in an instant and completed the supplementary defense. ”

"We saw Atletico midfielders Carrasco and Gabi next to Godin, both of whom were eyeing up for destruction!"

"It's a total strangulation battle!"

'If we can keep that overall movement pace going all game, we might be able to see the magic of a team that doesn't use the way they swing the bus, keeps a clean sheet at Leicester and scores.

“……”

After this scene, the next Leicester City players saw similar movement speeds in several scenes.

The Atletico Madrid players who played like chicken blood gradually made them feel a kind of powerlessness and despair.

It's too hard to kick.

Ranieri looked a little helpless on the pitch, and he didn't know what tactical adjustments he could make at this time to change the team's decline.

The first half of the game, just like that.

The Leicester City players who returned to the dressing room were all silent, and even Chen Yufeng was busy adjusting himself, and did not comfort his teammates for the first time.

By the time Ranieri made the tactical plan to replace Fox and bring on Achraf, there was not much left of the break.

Chen Yufeng finally stood up and said: "There is never a shortage of smart people in this world, there is never a shortage of strong teams, and this half tells us that we are not invincible." ”

'Today, Atletico Madrid was the better team, they did better than us in everything, and I wouldn't be too surprised if they were behind at half-time or even at full-time.

"In the past period, the successive victories in the Premier League and the FA Cup have made us forget one thing again, and that is that everything that everyone has now is something we have fought for."

"Fight for something like Atletico Madrid did today."

Chen Yufeng was ready to accept defeat, and he saw something wrong in each of his teammates.

It takes time to adjust, and his goal now is to tell them about their mistakes and then lead by example to make them as impressed as possible.

Even if you lose, don't have a big point difference.

A draw is the best, but as it stands, he doesn't dare to hope for it.

"The English teams are afraid of us, they will look at our strength and efficiency against other English teams, and the Premier League teams always feel that our attack is inexplicable, and they are crazy to find other ways to make amends."

"Even at the expense of attacking, or putting out a very innovative 'weird' formation to face us."

"It's because they're afraid!"

"Think about it, if we hadn't fought for one season last season, and at the beginning of the season, we shattered so many doubts with strength, would we have all this?"

"But Atletico Madrid is different, Atletico Madrid will not get used to us, they will stick to their own style, make some targeted deployments, and then gather their strong will and willpower into combat power to defeat us!"

"Keep the original intention, we talked for so long and walked forward, will it be ruined in this forty-five minutes, or this ninety minutes?"

Chen Yufeng looked around, "In the second half, I hope everyone will not collapse, and it is best to use goals to regain confidence." ”

"That's all."

Leicester's players looked left and right, and even the coaching staff moved a few times, and the atmosphere was still strange, but it was a big change from just now.

Indeed, when a change in tactics does not make any sense, a change in mentality and desire is the most effective.

And the one who bears this crowd, a few times it is Ranieri, and most of the time, it is Chen Yufeng.

He's the soul of this team.

………………

"Beep!"

"The second half begins, welcome back, and you're watching the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid at home to Leicester City."

'Atletico Madrid sent a ball from the centre circle, they were very strong in today's game and the players had a strong desire to win.

'Leicester, on the other hand, didn't show the efficiency and quickness that people would expect.'

"I don't know if it will change in the second half."

“……”

Under Liu Jiayuan's commentary, Atletico Madrid, the iron-blooded division, once again brandished his bloody bone knife and rushed to Leicester City's defense.

The extremely hard physical confrontation, tireless running, and the organization and cooperation without greed for the ball made Kante in the back position a little unable to parry.

"Drinkwater, go up less, it's too much to kick me like this."

This iron man, who has been working silently for Leicester City for more than a year, said something like this for the first time, "I'm afraid I won't be able to run behind." ”

Single-pulled, Kante hangs any Atletico player.

But he is facing a complete central axis.

"I can't go up and play football less." Drinkwater looked a little embarrassed.

"Then the ball is on my head!"

Chen Yufeng, who was standing in the front court, heard the conversation between the two and pointed to his head and said loudly.

At this moment, the wind and clouds changed again.

Antoine Griezmann, who lost twice to Chen Yufeng at the European Championships and the Ballon d'Or, showed a strong style of football today.

This is a player who looks very dexterous, even so dexterous that he is a little thin.

After receiving Godin's pass in the middle, Griezmann deceived his national team-mate N'Golo Kante with a feint that turned in and out.

This earned him the opportunity to move the ball.

"Bang!" A wide long ball was played from Antoine Griezmann's feet, and the ball quickly fell to the far end.

A clear tactical purpose to keep football away from N'Golo Kante.

Leicester's other defenders, nothing to fear.

Most of them have the ability to fight individually, that is, the level of the upper reaches of the five major leagues, and this is still at the peak of confidence.

On the left flank of the back, Danny Simpson struggled to cope with a break from Carrasco.

He tried to go up to the body several times, but was nimble and avoided by the opponent.

"Bang!" A very sudden cross suddenly flashed out of Carrasco's feet.

Danny Simpson didn't stop.

In the middle, Fernando Torres unloaded the ball with his chest, and he didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground, but fired a volley from the right side of the penalty area he was most familiar with.

"Bang!"

The powerful ball flew into the top corner of the net at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and Schmeichel judged the landing point, but unfortunately he was too slow to raise his hand.

It's not the speed at which a person can react.

“Yeah——!!” The Calderón Stadium was boiling again, and the scorer Fernando Torres roared to the flanks and did his curtain call with a very dashing kneeling.

Simeone said that after leading by two goals, you can move to defense and then he will go down.

Torres understood the significance of the goal and he was glad that it was he who did the job.

Pitchside.

“Boom!!” Simeone made the old gesture of stepping up to the waist, and then he turned around and called out to Thomas Partey on the bench.

It's an all-round and somewhat defensive midfielder and it's time to send him to hold on to the win.

Fit, he is not only able to tackle the ball in midfield, but also drop back to the centre-back position at the right time to assist the team in defending in the middle, and Simeone believes the players have the tactical discipline.

Two minutes later, Fernando Torres came off and Thomas came on in the middle of midfield.

Atletico Madrid accepted it and chose a 451 formation to face Leicester City.

After the opponent's second goal, and seeing this adjustment again, Leicester felt a deep powerlessness again.

Mahrez Valdi and the others lowered their heads, they no longer felt that they could win this game.

Don't forget, the opposite side is also a strong team that is famous all over the world.

It's easy to play, but it's easier to fight than Real Madrid.

Subtly, Leicester must have been influenced by some media to think it was an easy game and then sanctioned.

Atletico's tactical passion and strategic composure have once again evaporated some of the confidence that Leicester City's players had just formed.

It's 0 to 2......

Maybe that's how we have to go back to King Power Stadium.

They don't know what kind of form they are in in the second leg.

"Beep!"

The game restarted, and it was a familiar plot and a familiar kick-off attack.

And then...... It's the familiar futile again.

After Leicester City played for a while and the players calmed down again, Chen Yufeng felt that he couldn't go on like this.

He's going to play solitaire.

He just can't wait for his opponent to make a mistake or lose concentration.

The team now needs him to find some opportunities.

Any superstar needs to step up at such a moment, and Ronaldo is the well-known king of adversity, no matter what the predicament, there is a possibility of reversal.

Chen Yufeng hopes that he can be such a person.

"It's just that good tactics and small strategies have been solved by the other party, and now I am fighting alone."

Chen Yufeng set his sights on the goal, and he saw Oblak, who was a strong contender for the best goalkeeper in the world in 17 years.

Those who have gone through this stage are well aware of his dominance at this stage.

"Even if I beat the Atletico defenders, I have to face the wonder boy Oblak, can I hit the ball into the goal......

After a whole game downstream of Atletico's steel defense, Chen Yufeng is not really an emotionless goal machine, and he has also begun to have psychological fluctuations.

However, not long after this idea came out, he hurriedly shook his head and vetoed it.

Anyway, try it!

I've been holding on for so long, can't I stand it for so long?

Try it when you get the ball!

Although the success rate may not be high, and he will suffer some confusion from his teammates and fans in the early days, as long as he can score a goal on the road, there is still hope when he returns to home!

"Bang!"

In the 69th minute of the game, Chen Yufeng received the football on the right side and started his first attempt.

For the first time, he chose to take the bottom line, and he strengthened his mind and began to attack the line of the enemy.

There were no miracles, and he failed completely.

The second time, Chen Yufeng began to try to take the inside line, but this time he also failed.

Atletico do a great job of compressing the space, and even have a bit of an artistic flavor.

As soon as Chen Yufeng took a few steps inside with the ball, he saw that he was full of people in front of him, and there was no space and angle to shoot at all.

"Hoo ......"

In the 79th minute of the match, 10 minutes after the first attempt, Chen Yufeng began his third attempt.

This time, he began to change his receiving point.

In order to create chaos in the opponent's backline, try to confuse the players who follow the defense.

After another defeat, Chen Yufeng could already feel the suspicious gaze of the Leicester City Expeditionary Force and the helplessness of his teammates.

That's why lone wolf mode can't be used in the first place.

Everyone started to play according to the rules, the team mentality is still there, and the fighting spirit of the players is still there.

If you play like that, the other people you will immediately affect will not be able to kick the ball.

Even if you endure you for a while because you are a meritorious captain, it will still collapse after a long time.

It is used again after 20 minutes, when the team is already in a desperate situation, and even if the team collapses, Atletico Madrid will not have much time to attack.

In the 84th minute of the game, Chen Yufeng clearly knew that his physical fitness was coming to an end.

The next time he saw Drinkwater push forward with the ball, he opted to stand in the middle of Godin and Savage.

It's the center position.

Vardy and Shin Okazaki, who were next to them, hurriedly moved out of the way to avoid repositioning with Chen Yufeng.

"Bang!" Drinkwater's pass came.

Chen Yufeng received the ball, then lowered his head and dribbled towards the left side, making a trademark inward cut.

"Anti-incision!" The Atletico players didn't talk too much, just Oblak reminding everyone of the defensive focus and they were running like steel machines.

The entire penalty area was full of Atletico people, who made the most of their bodies and blocked all angles of shots.

In this way, no matter how fast Chen Yufeng is, after the ball passes, he can't find a reasonable time to shoot.

I can only try the deciduous ball...... Chen Yufeng made a decision in his mind, and at the same time quickly thought about what he should do.

It's not realistic to shoot the ball up, and there's only one way that might be possible.

"Bang!" Chen Yufeng knocked the ball to Mahrez, then quickly turned his head to observe the situation in the penalty area, and at the same time eagerly pointed to the soles of his feet, signaling Mahrez to pass back.

Mahrez didn't know what Chen Yufeng was going to do at the first time, he just knocked the ball back out of trust and habit between good partners.

In a trance, Mahrez, who was still observing the dense crowd in the Atletico Madrid penalty area, saw Chen Yufeng pick up the ball with the outside of his left foot and pick it up behind him.

"Bang !!"

When Mahrez turned his head in shock, Chen Yufeng made one of the most dashing turns of his career so far.

As if he had expected it, he quickly switched to a support foot after picking up the ball with his left foot, lowering his center of gravity and lifting his toes to turn around.

In the process of turning around, Chen Yufeng quickly raised his right foot and made a volley side pump.

He's going to play handsome!

Only in this way can you be surprised!

A top warrior waltzed at the edge of the Atletico penalty area, which was inspired by his impromptu dance in a desperate situation, and after a spin, his powerful explosiveness gave the dance a profound conclusion.

"Bang!!"

A heavy sound broke through the field, and Chen Yufeng's volley side-hooked the football.

No one can clearly describe how the football flies, because when people come back to their senses, they only see the football touching the net, and Oblak lowers his center of gravity in confusion, but he doesn't know which way to pounce!!

“Oh——!!!”

The first to react were the Leicester City players on the field, who pounced on Chen Yufeng with shocked eyes.

“Yeah————!!”

"Wind ————!!!!"

Immediately after, the shouts of thousands of Leicester fans burst through Calderón's roof, rose into the sky and scattered.

Even the Atletico Madrid fans of the home team exclaimed, "Ahh......hhh ”

They just screamed, and with only this single voice, they conveyed everything they wanted to express.

All crazy!

Brilliant goal!

Creativity is unimaginable!

One to two!

Chen Yufeng scored a valuable away goal for Leicester City!!

Super superstar abilities!

Under the excited words of the commentators from various countries, the director of the scene pointed the camera at Chen Yufeng, who was kneeling excitedly, and then at Simone, who was regretfully stepping up with his hands in his pockets.

Didn't hold it!

Still scored by Leicester City!

"What the hell are we doing wrong?"

With little clock left in the game, Simeone knew Leicester might not be able to equalise, and he was just wondering what he had done wrong.

Looking at Chen Yufeng's back, even if he was the leading side, Simeone had to sweat for the second round......

Has this person, the ability to break the rules, reach this point?

"Goo-dong!" He swallowed hard, his face a little blue.

Not long after, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the fans of Atletico Madrid and Leicester City all stood up and applauded the players.

The first leg was 2-1, the home team won, and this result is acceptable to both sides.

The second leg to Leicester City, that's the real fight.

When the time comes, it will be the time to be superior.

As for the players on the field, they were all a little disappointed......

Atletico Madrid were disappointed that they did not keep a clean sheet, and Leicester City were disappointed that they had suffered their first defeat in a short period of time.

Two completely different emotions in the same area were enveloped in the stands and in the stadium.

People only remember that Ranieri finally hugged Chen Yufeng tightly and breathed a long sigh of relief.

I also remember that Simeone stood on the sidelines angrily and yelled at several of the team's defenders.

It's over, let's fight for the second round......
