Chapter 136: In the Blue Era, the Door to the Top Four Is Open! (Ask for a commuter pass)
"Atletico's attacking chance, Saul advancing with the ball...... I still can't find a good opportunity, so I can only pass it back. ”
"The attacking combination that Atletico Madrid released today is the combination of Antoine Griezmann and Carrasco, and these two are good players at breaking the game alone, but it is not a wise choice to put them together to fight with Leicester's backline."
"They need a stronger partner, a partner who can hold the ball with their backs, or a partner who is more impactful."
As the situation on the field fell into Atletico Madrid's positional attack, He Wei analyzed for the fans, "Torres is such a candidate, but Simeone did not let him start, we don't know the specific reason, let's see if Simeone will make adjustments." ”
"As long as Leicester City is determined to defend, then Atletico Madrid will not be easy to score, on the contrary, the number of attackers is increasing, the back line is empty, and it is possible that Leicester City will have the opportunity to counterattack."
As he spoke, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone on the sidelines put his hands in his pockets and looked at the field with a serious expression, as if thinking about something.
The goal just now was undoubtedly a goal that broke the balance.
Playing away, the opponent quickly played with momentum, and everything seemed to be going towards Leicester City.
"It's okay...... It only takes one away goal and we don't fall into a situation where we are too passive. Simeone comforted himself that he was right.
The score was 2-2 drawn, and Leicester City had the advantage of qualifying, which was nothing more than an extra away goal.
As long as Atletico Madrid score at the King Power Stadium, even if the final score is 3-3, Leicester City will not be able to progress, and the two sides will need to go head-to-head in extra-time, and then there may be another penalty shoot-out.
This is the 'away goals' rule that is often mentioned in the Champions League.
Then, as it should be, Simeone focused on attacking, and he didn't fear too much of Leicester's counter-attacking goal for the time being.
The main thing is that it's useless to be afraid, if you don't score, you will die.
Scored, and there was a fight.
"Cork! Cork! Captain! ”
"Pass!"
"Ah...... Run early, it's okay, come again! ”
"This way, this way!!"
The Atletico players on the pitch played very ferociously, and the confidence to lead the first leg was still there, and Leicester City's goal just now certainly couldn't break them.
They believe they can get out of the King Power Stadium and end Leicester's dark horse miracle!
Once upon a time, their team, which came out of the trough, also gave people a new feeling, and everyone at that time took a lot of praise and kept playing efficiently.
After so many years, their momentum has not weakened, and in La Liga, in addition to the two hegemons of Real and Sa, it belongs to them Atletico Madrid!
Leicester City?
Let's stabilize for a few seasons first!
Their setbacks and trials are not enough, and they are not yet able to become a true resilient division!
Have you ever experienced 9248 losing the championship?
If not, those of us who have lost on the highest stage will personally give you that kind of hard-working and unforgettable feeling!
That's what the Atletico players are thinking right now.
Although it is a bit black-bellied, it is very in line with their temperament.
"N'Golo Kante! Canter! ”
After another round of defensive rounds at Leicester, Chen Yufeng called Kante to his side, covered his mouth with one hand, and held his shoulder with the other and said: "It's easier to play the ball at the back, there are too many people in Atletico Madrid's midfield." ”
'A lot of times you can just pass the ball behind the opposition back line without aiming, I have the pace and Klose has the height.
"We have a 70% chance that we can take this kind of ball."
"Got it? Just close your eyes and kick it up, and we'll fix the position of the ball ourselves, don't worry. ”
It's just too difficult to get out of the ball at the back...... Chen Yufeng witnessed at least three or four passing mistakes from defense to offense. No matter how Atletico attacked, they were very lethal when they counter-attacked after conceding the ball, and he would not let the Leicester players pass the ball away.
That's why they're not very afraid to fight back.
So Chen Yufeng wanted to call Kante to his side and give him a good advice, and then let him pass the word to his teammates.
Let's go for the high ball!
If you want to keep it simple, you have to follow through to the end!
"Okay."
Kandor nodded to signal that he understood, and then ran back to his position to relay the news to his teammates.
For a while, Leicester City's players raised their heads a little higher.
Chen Yufeng's words gave them a lot of confidence.
Then come on.
Ranieri, who was on the sidelines, observed a slight change in the mood of his disciples, and he probably guessed what Chen Yufeng said, but he didn't ask too much.
Chen Yufeng's decision was not all right.
But even if there is a slight mistake, he will use his strength to forcibly correct it.
He has the heart to change, so let him go, anyway, he is fine-tuning in his own tactical concept, and he will not go down the wrong path completely.
"Bang!"
Not long after Chen Yufeng's words, Drinkwater made a long pass directly towards Atletico Madrid's backfield after a break.
The ball was passed very deeply, it was a behind-the-back ball.
When Atletico's two central defenders were still judging the landing point, Chen Yufeng had already started quickly and headed behind the two.
His steps were fast, like an unstoppable wild leopard, and he stepped forward with powerful steps, and anyone who was far away could feel the strength of his lower limbs.
"Savage!!" Sensing that something was wrong, Godin quickly turned to chase after him, and at the same time roared loudly for Savage to chase back with him.
But Klose's timely block brought Godin's footsteps to a halt, and by the time he could react, it was too late, and he could only pin his hopes on Savic.
"I'm coming!"
At the critical moment, it was Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak who attacked in advance and gave up his life to tackle the football.
"Bang!" The football flew out of the left sideline, and Chen Yufeng's forward figure also collided with Oblak, the former was tripped and flew out directly, as for the latter, he was hit hard and fell to the ground in pain holding the upper side of his calf bone.
"Ah......h
It was definitely a very serious impact, Chen Yufeng was very fast, and Oblak slid out again.
Two huge forces in opposite directions collided together, enough to break the bones of either of them!
"Team doctor! Doctor! ”
The Leicester City players and Atletico Madrid players immediately shouted anxiously, and the team doctors of both sides ran towards the field with medical kits.
At this moment, Chen Yufeng suddenly stood up.
He took a few steps, jumped a few steps, felt okay, waved his hand at the team doctor, and ran to Oblak.
Leicester City player: "??? ”
Atletico player: "??? ”
Everyone's heads were full of questions, and even the Leicester team doctor was stunned, not knowing whether to leave the field or do a routine check-up.
Are you up?
How is it like nobody?
Doesn't it hurt?
"It's okay, let's go down, both of us finally retracted our feet, and if it hits alone, it's a hard injury."
Of course, Chen Yufeng was in pain, but not to the point of injury, he waved his hand at the team doctor and said, "I'm sure I'm okay now." ”
His strength is very strong, and this kind of impact is still within the acceptable range......
As for Oblak, Chen Yufeng doesn't know,
Oblak is certainly strong as a goalkeeper, but he doesn't have much of an advantage over him.
Chen Yufeng does not want any opponent to be injured in the confrontation with him, and he wants every player to stay away from injury.
But he was still fighting for that ball just now, so he didn't give up...... He believed Oblak was the same.
This is a scene that often happens on the football field, no one can predict it, and no one can do anything about it.
It could be a goal, it could be saving the team, it could be an injury.
It didn't take long for the Atletico team doctor to test the results that Oblak's anterior cruciate ligament had been shattered in a violent impact, and the player had to be sent to Barcelona immediately for surgery by a senior specialist in the industry.
It's broken!
Oblak hid his face on the stretcher and wept, and the Atletico players next to him came to comfort him.
"Tsk......" Chen Yufeng mourned silently in his heart, he wanted to go over and say sorry, but he held back.
Let's play first, wait until the game to apologize to the media, and if you have time, bring a fruit basket to take a look.
"Beep!"
In the 41st minute of the first half, Simeone made one of the most reluctant substitutions of the season so far.
Substitute goalkeeper Moya replaces the injured Oblak.
Changing the goalkeeper, it's definitely a change that no manager wants to make.
The goalkeeper position is not like other positions, this is a place that can instantly decide the life and death of the team, who wants to rotate the goalkeeper every day and give the team's second-door experience?
Those goalkeepers who have quality are often reluctant to play as substitutes in big clubs, because that means that they will never come out.
The result of various reasons is that the gap between the two doors and the first door is the gap between the disconnection level.
This phenomenon may improve in the future (because there are too many financiers, you can spend money to keep two doors), but at this moment, it is a very unsolvable problem.
"Beep!"
"Ah......h
As the game started again, Simeone turned his back on the court, closed his eyes and cried out in pain.
The familiar feeling came again, he was close to the pinnacle of honor every time, but he couldn't get it every time!
As if the heavens were playing tricks on him, they always let those top honors dangle in front of their eyes, as if they were within reach, and then take away all his things little by little, leaving him with only infinite pain!
When is the day of the beginning?
Simeone wants a title, he wants it more than anyone else, and he's really working hard for his dreams.
But reality has broken through and broken his will again and again.
"Bang!"
A touch of the ball sounded and Simeone turned his head to see Leicester unleash another simple long ball at the back.
The Leicester City players, who have seen the results, will certainly not give up this simple attacking method.
From Simeone's point of view, this long pass attack is basically the same as the one just now.
The football was played behind the Atletico players, and the two double centre-backs once again started the race against Chen Yufeng, this time Atletico were not passive, because Godin had time to block in front of Chen Yufeng, and Savic could control the landing point first.
Chen Yufeng had to run out of an arc, first bypassing the 'annoying' Godin, and then chasing Savage, who was already three positions above him.
Fortunately, he is fast enough, and he has confidence in himself!
In front of the goal line, the substitute goalkeeper Moya, who had just come on the field, also came out, he saw Chen Yufeng's furious speed in a panic, and then looked at Savage, who was already at the end of his strength.
The gap between the two is constantly narrowing, until there are two positions, one position, and half a ......
Moya got out of the way, learning Oblak's manoeuvres to slide towards the ball, but stopped at the last minute out of fear.
He's not Oblak, he doesn't have the courage to defend Atletico's iron-blooded spirit.
He really wanted to show himself, but in the face of Chen Yufeng, who was as strong as an ox, he didn't dare to ......
The result of this behavior is also obvious, Savage just took advantage of Moya's attack to throw the pot to Moya, and slowed down himself to prepare for the finish.
As for Moya, he pinned his hopes on Savage at the last minute, hoping that he could solve the siege before Chen Yufeng......
Under the suppression of Chen Yufeng's super impact, the two finally made a panicked mistake.
The football slipped behind Mo Ya, and the only person who followed was Chen Yufeng.
"Oh-" Leicester fans rose from their seats, and Ranieri stretched out his hands on the sidelines.
"Bang!" After a light push, the ball entered the net without any suspense.
Chen Yufeng first folded his hands in the direction of the Atletico bench to express his silence for Oblak's injury.
Then, smiling, he rushed to the side of the pitch to celebrate with the boiling fans.
Two to zero!
The aggregate score is 3-2!
Leicester City are one step closer to qualifying!
They are already invincible!
“Yeah——!!”
After the cheers at the scene, the director first finished broadcasting Chen Yufeng's celebration, and then pointed the camera at Simone.
Tie Shuai's expression was ugly, and there was some bitterness in the loss of his soul.
At this time, He Wei's voice sounded: "The ball is in!" Terminator Chen Yufeng! He used his impact to score the second goal of the game for Leicester City! It's hard for Atletico! ”
"In the face of Beast Chen, Demon Chen, they don't have a very good way to deal with it! Leicester City used only the simplest way of attacking to destroy Atletico's steel defence! ”
"Of course, there are coincidences in this, and any goal is not caused by one or two factors!"
"Oblak's injury, the mentality of the Atletico Madrid players, the deterrence brought by Chen Yufeng, the fear of substitute goalkeeper Moya in the final moments, the weakness after Savic's successive explosions, and so on, all of them were the reasons why this goal finally happened!"
"We can only congratulate Leicester and say Simeone is out of luck."
"For the Predators, they really missed overnight, they just lost Oblak, and in the blink of an eye, they conceded the goal. It can't be helped, it's football, they're playing against the most impactful players on the planet! It's normal to have some damage. ”
He Wei is objective, as a professional commentator, at this time, he must not only face the theory of position, but also the theory of the Virgin.
There will definitely be people who think that it is not appropriate to score goals after the opponent is injured, isn't it a bit of a robbery?
He Wei didn't want to tie up some of the moral kidnappings of the Virgin Mary on the court, so he only mentioned Oblak's injury.
Of course, he is not a ruthless person, for a football person, as long as the three views are correct, then no one wants injuries to happen on the field.
But, what about after that?
Is the other side going to give way to this side?
Benevolence is not the same thing as sportsmanship at all, seeing someone get injured and kicking a football out of bounds, that's sportsmanship.
No, if someone is injured on your side, I'll stop attacking for a while, and then fight when you recover from it, it's stupid.
After the goal, the half-time game ended and the Atletico players left the Royal Power Stadium in a state of distraction, and the Atletico fans in the stands did not look quite right.
"Klose! Klose! K! K! ”
"Chen Yufeng! Chen Yufeng! Chen Chen Chen!! ”
“Oh——ohoh——!!”
The Leicester fans in the stadium were shouting very vigorously, and their emotions never went down, and some people tore their shirts and started to cheer naked in April.
There is no other reason.
It's just that they see that the palace of the Champions League semi-finals is beckoning to them.
It was a completely different experience, even though they had been experiencing it for the past two years.
But every time they think about hearing the Champions League theme song again at the King Power Stadium, they are playing in the Champions League semi-finals, they can't help but get excited.
…………
"Beep!"
After the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid attacked for more than ten minutes, and they played a reasonable attack in a broken manner, but after continuous breakdowns, they gradually weakened the offensive.
Leicester City are on the rise again, with Chen Yufeng and Klose constantly creating opportunities with their air superiority.
I thought everything would go on like this, but the change happened in the 72nd minute of the game.
"Bang!"
Atletico sent a corner from the left, which was a normal one, and Saul kicked the ball to Carrasco, who came to pick up, who responded with a kick back.
Saul was at a better angle and slotted the ball into the box.
The ball did not fall very deeply, and Huter, who was on the edge of the spot, did not dare to miss the ball, and after hesitatingly getting up to fight for the top, he did not hit the ball out of the box, but headed it in front of Griezmann, who was ambushed at the back post.
"Bang!" Griezmann didn't waste the chance that was close to him, as he kept the suspense of the game by piercing Schmeichel's net with a cushion shot.
Atletico Madrid, and indeed the entire Spanish fans, are in a frenzy.
They are already expecting three Spanish teams in the last four.
As for Leicester, they are tired.
Many players are starting to realise how difficult it is to reach the semi-finals and how many surprises they will experience in the process.
Anything can go the way you originally intended, and your opponent can wear down your patience and mind at any time by giving you a fatal blow in an inadvertent moment.
Everyone must be ready to take on new challenges at any time.
But at least one thing won't change - they all believe in themselves, "Go ahead, we believe that we will be the ones who will qualify in the end, they are already weak!" The last twenty minutes are ours! ”
After that, Leicester City took control of the field again.
Their players have shown a willingness to finish the game before 90 minutes, and Ranieri has continued to make substitutions to help his team build up their team.
Andy King, Vardy, and Odegaard appeared one after another, and they took on the responsibility with more physical energy.
Chen Yufeng still stayed on the field.
He found that the Atletico players did not have much confidence after scoring a goal that was not very impressive.
They began to put their hopes more on defence, a bit of a drag on the game until extra time and then to a penalty shootout.
This mindset is normal.
There will be people who watch the game, and there will definitely be people who play the game, and it will be more serious.
"The more afraid you are of conceding a goal, the more you are afraid that the game will not go into extra time, the easier it is to lose."
Chen Yufeng is a two-life person, and of course he has some of his own understanding of football in it, "Atletico may have lost." ”
To others, this may be a way to comfort yourself.
But Chen Yufeng was really not too anxious.
Is he not afraid to go into extra time and fight for fitness and willpower?
Definitely not.
He just believes that the team will have a chance before the end.
In the next ten minutes, his premonition of scoring became stronger and stronger, and his sensitivity to the goal behind him became stronger and stronger, as if he belonged there.
"Bang!"
Finally, Odegaard, who had just come on the pitch, passed his first long pass of the game in the 91st minute of the game.
He passed it accurately!
In the backfield position of Atletico Madrid, Chen Yufeng and Godin jumped high.
Chen Yufeng is a little behind in height, but he is crushing in terms of bounce power, and he has to do his best to rub the ball back!
You don't have to look to know that someone must be preparing to step behind the opponent's defense!
"Whew!" After jumping to the limit, Chen Yufeng felt the football grazing the top of his head, and a little joy appeared in his heart.
With this changed line, Godin can rise to the top and Atletico Madrid's replacement players lose their judgment.
“Oh——!”
Sure enough, when Chen Yufeng landed, he heard a burst of cheers, and the surrounding Leicester City fans all stood up from their seats.
Turning around, Mahrez was already speeding to follow, past everyone and receiving the ball on the ground.
"Whoop Woohoo ......"
Mahrez's breath was short, and he knew that Chen Yufeng was not handing over the football, but the fate of the entire team.
Lao Tzu has scored so many goals and smashed so many top goalkeepers in the Premier League, how can he not have confidence in the face of Moya, who has never heard of his name...... Mahrez comforted himself briefly and hurriedly, and then pushed his foot.
"Bang!"
The soccer ball bounced up about 20 centimeters and flew just past Moya's right leg that had fallen to the ground and into the net.
“Yeah——!!”
With only two minutes of stoppage time at full-time, it can be said that Riyad Mahrez, killed the game.
Four to three, Leicester City is going to advance!
"I knew it! I know, hahahaha......! ”
Klose, who had been substituted on the sidelines, waved his arms with excitement as he shouted and rushed towards Mahrez to celebrate with his team.
"Beautiful! Pretty! ”
Chen Yufeng's face quickly turned red, and he also laughed and rushed towards Mahrez.
"Oh roar!"
"Odegaard is good, Chen Yufeng is good!"
"Go to the Final Four!"
Under the bursts of excited cheers, the door to the Champions League semifinals was officially opened to Leicester City.
The front four, those who were on the court and those who didn't play, all gathered together at this moment and knelt out.
The way they smiled and celebrated and the audience cheered was like an era, an era that belonged to blue, an era that belonged to this group of players.
