Chapter 109 He is only eighteen years old, you are witnessing the birth of a legend!
The celebrating crowd dispersed, but the cheers of Atletico Madrid fans in the stands did not stop. The Atletico Madrid players who stood in their positions on the court were also filled with emotion.
The game starts again.
Rayo Vallecano's entire team was like a vicious dog that rushed towards Atletico Madrid after the start. However, Xiao Wen took out an iron rod from his crotch and hit it, and gave up.
Xiao Wen still pressed forward slowly with Atletico Madrid's formation.
Rayo Vallecano head coach Paco Jemez squatted on the sideline, pinching the rain-stained turf in front of him with his fingers and breathing quickly. He squinted through the crowd in front of him and watched
The red and white No. 7 at the other end of the stadium. Listening to those shrill and harsh songs. Damn what bad songs are sung by Atletico Madrid fans! His whole body seems to have been completely stiff since the beginning. He was obviously changing clothes ten minutes ago.
In the room, both the body and the mind are still full of power!
However, within five minutes of the opening, the failure of his tactics was declared!
Before the game, Jeromez actually thought about letting Atletico Madrid attack. After all, last season, they had a winning rate of only 43% in games with more than 60% of the ball possession rate.
But Jémes could not resist the team's first game. The temptation of scoring the first goal at home may be because the five consecutive wins in the warm-up games before the start of the season made his head a little hot. In short, this start was messed up.
, but he couldn't make a correct stress response quickly. Because the connection between Atletico Madrid's midfield, backcourt and frontcourt was smoothed by Xiao Wen.
Jemez couldn't understand.
Cross - free kick - long-distance running - flicking and maneuvering skills - long shot - overhead hook!
What else can't you do?
He was still lost in memories.
The defensive line was too far back, but Xiao Wen found an opportunity to shoot from a long distance. The football shot up in a beautiful straight line. Fortunately, the goalkeeper was focused and saved the ball over the crossbar with one palm!
Corner kick.
Xiao Wen trotted to the corner kick area, waiting for Godin Milan to rush into the penalty area. He raised his right hand high, put it down for a moment, and spiraled into the penalty area with a wonderful arc.
Miranda was unguarded at the back post, but the ball was pushed too hard and was punched out of the penalty area by the goalkeeper. Cork stopped the ball on his chest outside the penalty area and was about to shoot with his right foot, but Baye was robbed.
Na was knocked down by his left foot.
At that moment, Bayena turned his head and looked in shock, and found that just like in slow motion in a movie, Xiao Wen's figure was slowly running towards him. He looked like an oppressive Godzilla.
After the referee blew the whistle, Ballena stood numbly and retreated into the penalty area, and began to build a human wall with his teammates.
Squinting his eyes, he watched Xiao Wen slowly walk to the location of the foul, which was at the top of the penalty area.
Griezmann also came over.
Last season, at Real Sociedad, Griezmann, who has gradually become the team's first brother, took almost all set kicks where there was a chance to shoot.
In the new team... the ball won't be his turn. But in fact, when Atletico Madrid negotiated with him, it was not like this. In Simeone's words, 'You will be Atletico Madrid's top striker when you come!'
Based on the years from Torres Aguero Falcao to Costa who just went to Mourinho, this promise still has the potential to be fulfilled.
But more than a month after Griezmann arrived at Atletico Madrid, he had mixed feelings. On the one hand, Xiao Wen's arrival greatly increased the team's strength, and on the other hand, his arrival also meant that countless privileges were concentrated in his hands.
On the body - such as set pieces.
As a left-footed player, this ball is actually within Griezmann's range.
However, Xiao Wen walked over as a matter of course and picked up the football.
Griezmann was in a daze. At this moment, he had completely forgotten all the thoughts of "I want to be a big brother" before coming to Atletico Madrid. Standing next to Xiao Wen, he was as stiff as a piece of wood.
Wiping the sweat off his face, he watched Xiao Wen start to retreat.
“I’ll treat this goal to the weekend!”
A voice sounded to the left of Xiao Wen. In the slightly nervous stadium at the moment, this voice and the ridicule were a bit out of place.
That was when captain Gabby Griezmann glanced at the captain and then at Xiao Wen. The young man was still so clear and calm, so calm to the extreme that he had a sense of indifference as if he was indifferent to life and death. When he entered
In a certain state, it seems to be a machine.
In front of the TV, Royce and many Dortmund people are extremely familiar with this posture and expression, because this man once made them excited after scoring a goal, made them crawl with glory, and gave them endless glory and joy. However,
At this moment, in their eyes, this figure seemed like an extremely familiar stranger.
The whistle sounded again.
Royce, who was still hanging on the sofa with his injured leg in front of the TV, felt himself awakened from his memories by the whistle. He gasped several times and suddenly looked up at the TV screen.
Griezmann looked at Xiao Wen's extremely tilted free throw posture, and a muffled sound sounded, as if it was louder and clearer than the sound of his heart beating violently. In an instant, Rayo Vallecano goalkeeper Alvarez's face turned pale.
He glared for two steps like a rabbit, then flew up and pounced to his right.
With a bang, Alvarez fell heavily on the goal line.
Splashed grass clippings fell on his face, blocking his vision. He wiped his face hard, and when he looked back, he could only see a football that had stopped rolling. He didn't know it at all.
From which direction did the ball enter the goal? A feeling of despair suddenly rushed into his mind. It was 2:0 in less than ten minutes after the game started!
You must know that last season, Atletico Madrid scored two goals in the first 30 minutes of the game. This was only 5 games out of 38 rounds!
But the problem is that Atletico Madrid took a two-goal lead in the first half. Not only were they undefeated, they won all.
Thinking of the analysis data of the assistant coach in the pre-game tactical planning meeting, Alvarez's legs felt like lead, and he felt more and more that Atletico Madrid's No. 7 running towards the sideline was really not in vain. His every move
Every shot was like a fatal bullet to him.
He stood stupidly by the goalpost and heard the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands shouting Xiao Wen's name crazily.
In the stands.
Mendes looked at Xiao Wen's celebrating figure and knew that this war without gunpowder had already begun. As the media frantically hyped before the game, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 1 goal and Messi 2 goals in the first round, and now, at least.
Xiao Wen did not fall behind!
One is a guy who has unlimited fire power in Real Madrid, the other is the leader who represents the thunder from the ground in football, and the other is a grassroots player from last year. I don’t know if he can become the new core of Cordyceps Atletico Madrid this year.
The fans’ senses exploded in the first round!
The assistant next to him murmured in a low voice: "He is only 18 years old this year, which is really incredible."
"The more incredible thing is yet to come." Mendes laughed.
The assistant squinted his eyes, remembering that Nike was even willing to give Xiao Wen a lifetime contract, and couldn't help but shake his head.
The annual sponsorship fee of 7.5 million euros is 500,000 more than Ronaldo. And if the sales of related products are booming, Nike may even give Xiao Wen 20 million euros a year. And giants from other industries are also coming to visit.
Raising prices from the ground up, this is what Mendes should do now.
And all of this is based on Xiao Wen's bright and stable performance. Other stars may be stable and sometimes bright, but Xiao Wen is stable and bright!
Mendes' assistant shook her head again. She couldn't even imagine how much money Xiao Wen's next sponsorship contract would bring him in a year.
Xiao Wen on the field had no time to think about this.
Scoring two goals in less than ten minutes gave him a lot of peace of mind. At least a good start would prevent him from immediately falling into the whirlpool of media bombardment.
…
Simeone in the stands was also extremely satisfied. He finally understood the feeling of having Ronaldo and Messi.
Looking at this golden central axis: Mandzukic, Xiao Wen, Gabi, and Godin, all covered with beautiful faces, that is his lost youth.
In fact, after Xiao Wen came to Atletico Madrid, Simeone obviously compromised on his "determination to build a team with a fighting spirit". Firstly, it was because of the newcomer Xiao Wen and Griezmann and other new players.
The strength of the reinforcements cannot be faked. The second reason is that although the defensive midfielder has the highest interception success rate in the 30-meter penalty area in La Liga, with an 87% interception success rate, the remaining 13% of the mistakes are made almost every time.
Giving away heads.
If you are happy all your life, who wants to be homeless? If you can play with technology, who wants to fight and kill?
Simeone stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the new Atletico Madrid that was beyond recognition, feeling complacent for a moment!
Diego Costa's plot, Raul Garcia's provocation, Godin's arrogance... fouls, muscles, iron blood, Simeone's Atletico Madrid left a deep impression on people.
"Atletico Madrid's defense is too tough, and you can win if you steal just one goal." "Simone and his thugs are not afraid of any giants!" In the past few years, as Atletico Madrid has rivaled Real Madrid and Barcelona, it has become one of the "Three Heroes of the Western Super League"
, such comments are endless.
However, anyone who sees Atletico Madrid in these ten minutes will be trapped!
In most people's minds, Atletico Madrid has always adopted a "defensive counterattack" tactic, with tenacious will, abundant physical fitness, and close combat as the three major elements. However, now, with the technical skills of Xiao Wen, Griezmann, and Koke,
Players have changed dynasties and become the core of the attack. Atletico Madrid's routine is no longer about fighting, but about footwork!
So this is the role of Xiao Wen! He is stable, reliable, has online footwork, and has an extremely high two-way quotient. Even if his opponent wants to double-team him unscrupulously, there is no need to worry about him suddenly making a hurried move with absurd aestheticism.
This leads to the loss of the ball; secondly, he has a beacon effect on his head, making it easy for teammates to find someone to pass the ball to.
Less than 20 minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid had 13 shots!
"This is a completely different Atletico Madrid team from last year! Although I don't know if it will be like this throughout the season, judging from this game, the absolute core of Xiao Wen has already taken shape!"
"Last season they won La Liga and finished second in the Champions League. But even so, they failed to win more love from neutral fans. In addition to their brutal style of play, the main reason was the lack of goals. But look at their number of shots.
, such a smooth attack!"
In the knockout rounds of the Champions League and the World Cup last season, there were countless top players in front of him. Under the protection of that thing in Naizi, in Xiao Wen's eyes, they were only slightly more difficult obstacles, not to mention Rayo Vallecano in front of him.
These defensive players didn't seem to have him in their hearts, eyes, or bones at all.
To be continued...
