Chapter 313 Hand-to-hand combat!
Golden Boy Torres.
That's what Atletico Madrid fans call their favorite star.
Once, that was their golden boy and their captain.
Even after drifting for many years, they still welcome their former heroes.
In the summer of 2007, Torres left Atletico Madrid and joined Liverpool.
There he spent some wonderful years and became one of the best shooters in the world.
Everything changed when he joined Chelsea.
In the Blues, he was a liability and not at all sweet.
Three years later, he was loaned to Milan City, but still failed to find his form.
In the winter of 2015, he finally returned to Atletico Madrid.
He came home.
In the first game after returning home, he scored two goals!
The status returned instantly!
As of now, in less than a season and a half, he has played 60 times, scored 17 goals, and provided 6 assists!
That's a pretty good score.
In addition, his tactical emphasis is also extraordinary.
Because of his joining, Griezmann has more room to move, and the number of goals scored by the French partner has soared.
Now Griezmann is even considered a strong contender for the third man in the world.
That has something to do with the help from Torres behind him.
Just after Felipe's cross, the 32-year-old Torres jumped high and headed the ball, vaguely seeing his heroic appearance again.
It's very powerful and has a tricky angle.
If Schmeichel's world-class save had not been denied, the goal would have definitely been scored.
The visiting team fans burst into applause!
They finally saw their team's offense!
After playing for almost 20 minutes, there was finally a shot in the game!
Is it really not easy?
Even Carragher in the live broadcast room pouted: "That game was really boring. It was not as exciting as watching a billiards match."
Atletico Madrid attacked, and there was a first time and a second time.
For a period of time after coming back from the east, Atletico Madrid's offense was frequently suppressed.
Although Godin, Jimenez and other players stabilized the defense, let alone the midfielder, the two full-backs were pressed.
During that period, Leicester City's defense was under great pressure.
Bu Nao, they can stand it very well.
Especially in the midfield and backcourt, the two sides started a hand-to-hand battle!
As soon as Kanter intercepted Don Saul's pass, Cork directly tackled him!
If Kanter hadn't been alert enough to poke the ball out first, Coco would have been tackled.
Despite this, he was brought down by Cork.
Although the referee's whistle sounded, the King Power Stadium still burst into boos.
Soon enough, Leicester City was in great shape.
A minute later, Gabi just caught the ball, and Drinkwater knocked him down with a sliding tackle!
There wasn't even a foul that time!
Although Gabi fell to the ground, Drinkwater tackled the ball head-on and got the ball first!
Simply and neatly!
The fans of the away team booed again in the stands!
But it didn’t matter, the King Power Stadium was soon surrounded by huge applause!
Then the applause given to Drinkwater by Leicester City fans!
Fuck them!
Just do it!
Go to death!
Atletico Madrid's style of play in that game was fierce, and Leicester City fans were unhappy.
Now that Kante was brought down just now, Leicester City fans were shouting.
Now, feel comfortable!
Gabby slowly got up from the ground and rubbed her calves.
Several teammates came forward to inquire about his condition, and Gabby waved his legs to indicate that he was fine.
The game continues.
No, it should be said whether the melee fight will continue.
During the time they received Donglai, the two sides fell into a crazy physical confrontation.
Especially Leicester City, which is even more powerful!
After all, Atletico Madrid is an offensive side, and their physical resistance requirements are not that high.
And Leicester City pounced!
Just now on the left wing, Xia Xing hit Sauro directly!
Sauro even knocked down a billboard!
Even so, Xia Xing did not stop!
Right back Juanfran was grabbing fiercely, and Xia Xing collided with the wrong leg again!
That time was different from just now. Juanfran had some running distance and acceleration, and Xia Xing suffered a little loss.
Despite this, he still controlled the ball steadily and pulled the ball back.
Although he couldn't squeeze out the second Atletico Madrid player, Fu Xia Xing also found an opportunity!
A long diagonal pass went straight to the penalty area!
Vardy caught the ball and shot the ball first before Godin could defend!
Oblak fell to the ground to save!
Caught the ball firmly!
That shot was wonderful, and that save was even more world-class!
Tomorrow's game will be a stage for the goalkeepers of both teams to perform brilliantly.
At halftime, the two sides were still 0-0.
In the eastern half, the side changed sides and the battle resumed, Atletico Madrid still dominated.
In the memory of the Shenlian Legion, Atletico Madrid rarely attacked so much.
When I was in La Liga before, even if I encountered a weak team, I didn't pay attention to defense and waited for opportunities to counterattack.
Today, they will definitely become an offensive team.
The eastern half attacked fiercely for 20 minutes, but still to no avail.
Except for the two yellow cards.
Leicester City also gained, with three yellow cards in the leg.
The fight between the two sides was still fierce.
It's nothing like a football match, it's just an unlimited fight.
In the 75th minute of the game, both sides made substitutions.
Leicester City traded Van Persie and Simpson for Cambiasso and Wasilevskiy.
With the addition of defensive strength, especially the experienced Cambiaso, I hope his experience can help the team.
Atletico Madrid replaced Correa, Vietto and Lucas Hernandez.
In exchange for Fernandez, Jimenez and Felipe.
Especially the substitution of the left back is very critical.
Young Lucas Hernandez is fast and has strong offensive ability. He is a very talented young man.
If he is on the field at that stage, do we hope that he can continue to attack Leicester City's defense.
Not long after he came on as a substitute, he performed a good show that passed two people in a row. If the initial pass had not been destroyed by Kante, I am afraid that Leicester City's goal would have been in danger.
A few minutes later, Hernandez's attack continued.
Then he went to the left and still easily passed Mahrez, who was in serious condition.
But he didn't expect that someone next to him suddenly stretched out his foot and broke the ball!
No Cambiaso!
The Argentine veteran decisively blocked the position, calmly took the shot, and stole the ball!
After being on the court, Cambiasso has been paying attention to the characteristics of players with wrong legs.
When he spotted Hernandez's excited assist, he had already made plans.
Mahrez's physical condition was severely reduced, and his defensive ability was average. It was normal for him to be passed by Hernandez.
In that situation, Cambiaso did not fill the position in advance, but used his teammates as bait, waiting for the short separation of the ball after Hernandez passed the ball!
He finally waited!
Successfully intercepted the ball!
Interrupted Atletico Madrid's offensive rhythm!
After Cambiaso stole the ball, he didn't hesitate at all. He turned around as if he had eyes behind his back and passed the ball to the other side of the court!
Looking for Xia Xing!
On Leicester City's left wing, when the ball arrives, the man arrives!
Xia Xing sprints quickly and stops the ball steadily!
At this time, Atletico Madrid's attention is on Leicester City's right wing!
Leicester City's counterattack begins!
