Chapter 232: The first time to break through the gate of Atletico Madrid
The Rose Garden Stadium fell into extreme silence, and a tsunami was brewing.
However, with a sound of "Pong!...", the football hit the intersection of the post and the crossbar and bounced back into the penalty area!
"coax!……"
The sound of regret sounded like a roaring mountain and a tsunami!
In despair, Courtois took two steps forward, leaped high, picked the football off in the air, and held it firmly in his arms.
Courtois kissed the football in his arms fiercely!
The commentator of Malaga TV said regretfully: "This is Li's second threatening shot tonight! It was a beautiful shot with a very tricky angle, but it was a pity that it was rejected by the door frame!"
The commentator of Madrid Sports TV said loudly: "Before the game, Pellegrini and Li both mentioned that Li's recent state has been ups and downs, and Li said that he feels bad shooting recently!
Judging from these two shots, it is indeed the case!”
After feeling regretful, Malaga fans asked: Is this repaying a debt?
Last season Santa Malaga were able to magically win the championship, but their opponents' shots either missed the goal or were rejected by the goal frame.
Li Chuanqi had a wonderful shot that was rejected by the goal frame at the Dragon Stadium, and he did it again tonight.
What is this if it's not debt repayment?
Simone took a long breath, shook his head slightly, and his expression returned to normal.
There was worry in Pellegrini's eyes.
Atletico Madrid quickly launched a quick counterattack. Courtois threw the football to Miranda on the left. Miranda quickly advanced along the wing and then immediately transferred the football to Costa's feet.
Costa called back directly to Falcao.
Falcao made a diagonal pass to the left, and Miranda, who followed up, regained control of the football and drove straight into the Malaga penalty area!
It only took ten seconds for Atletico to advance the football to the Malaga penalty area, posing a threat.
Miranda forced a breakthrough into the penalty area and fired a low shot!
The football flew towards the left corner of the goal!
Caballero, who had been prepared for a long time, jumped up and saved the football from the bottom line, defusing Atletico Madrid's sharp counterattack!
Thunderous applause erupted in the Rose Garden.
Pellegrini came to the command area and yelled at the midfielders. He was very dissatisfied with the defense.
In the following game, the two sides struggled together again. Atletico Madrid did not care about possession of the ball and often made risky passes when attacking.
The football was frequently intercepted by Malaga defenders.
Atletico Madrid immediately counterattacked in the midfield and frontcourt, giving Malaga no chance to organize the attack freely.
Isco became the focus of the opponent's steals.
Since this season, Isco has gradually become the hub of the entire team's offensive and defensive transitions and the core of the team's midfield.
But his biggest problem is that he likes to control the ball, which often slows down the team's offensive speed.
He likes to control the ball and gives Atletico Madrid the opportunity to counterattack, so he becomes the key "care" target for Atletico Madrid to counterattack.
If one person can't grab it, then two people will do it; if two people can't grab it, then three people will do it!
In the 39th minute of the first half, after three people counterattacked, Isco lost the ball.
Costa advanced quickly with the football, and was forced by Camacho to move the football to the right.
Suarez took the ball and full-back Juanfran advanced.
Suarez transferred the football to Juanfran's feet, and Juanfran quickly crossed the ball in front of the goal!
Crisis in Malaga is coming!
Suarez grabs the ball from the front and shoots!
The football flew towards the lower right corner of the goal!
Caballero once again showed his bravery, stretching out his left foot to block the football from the baseline!
"coax!……"
Huge cheers erupted from the Rose Garden.
Simeone squatted on the turf and grinned, then stood up and applauded his players.
Pellegrini knows what the problem is, but Isco is the core of the team's midfield, and replacing him rashly will make Isco dissatisfied.
So he yelled at Isco loudly, telling him to handle the ball faster.
When the game restarted, what was strange was that Li Chuanqi did not return to the penalty area or the front edge of the penalty area to defend, but stood near the midline.
Juanfran sent the football into the penalty area, and Camacho beat Costa and pushed the football out of the penalty area.
Isco and Turan outside the penalty area moved quickly toward the spot where the football landed. Isco quickly observed Turan's position and raised his chest to remove the football.
Don't wait for the football to hit the ground, gently pick it back!
Isco turned around forcefully and hugged Turan. He wanted to control the football, but he immediately remembered what Pellegrini had just said.
So before the football landed, he raised his right leg and made a big kick!
The football flew high into the sky and flew towards Atletico Madrid's half court!
The commentator of Madrid Sports TV loudly said: "Isco made a clearance!"
The Malaga TV commentator shook his head and said: "Instead of blindly making a rescue like this, it is better to control the football!"
Isco will definitely vomit blood when he hears this.
Damn it, I control the ball, but you say I slow down the team's offensive speed. I use long passes to launch quick counterattacks, but you say I should control the ball and not make blind clearances!
This kick is not a blind rescue!
no!
Didn't you notice that Li was on the center line?
The two TV commentators looked towards the Atletico Madrid half, and their faces suddenly turned red.
Damn, this is a slap in the face.
This is not a clearance, but a purposeful and targeted pass!
Under the football, Li Chuanqi was like a bolt of lightning, forcefully passing through Louis!
Louis reached out his left hand and grabbed his jersey!
A dramatic scene occurred, Louis was pulled down by Li Chuanqi's huge forward momentum!
But he was not without results. Li Chuanqi's speed was affected, creating an opportunity for Godin to catch up.
Li Chuanqi and Godin go hand in hand, heading towards the first place where football will start!
Due to mutual interference, neither of them was able to touch the football at the first place.
The football landed on the turf and bounced towards the penalty area.
Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Courtois saw the opportunity and quickly attacked and ran out of the penalty area!
Simeone frowned, was this an opportunity to attack?
He wanted to stop Courtois, but found that he had already rushed out of the penalty area and it was too late to go back.
Li Chuanqi and Godin chased towards the second landing point.
Li Chuanqi showed off his super explosive power. When he was about to reach the second landing point, he stepped out with his right foot and stuck Godin behind him!
Courtois is only two meters away from the football!
I saw him jump up, dive, and fly towards the football!
At this moment, the football is only about one and a half meters above the ground.
He will resolve this crisis with a header!!
Li Chuanqi shifted his weight to the left and stretched out his right foot at the same time!
When Courtois's forehead was still half a meter away from the football, he gently picked the football to the left with his right foot!
The football flew towards his front left!
The Malaga TV commentator shouted loudly: "Pick the ball! Li picked the ball successfully! The opportunity is here!"
The commentator of Madrid Sports TV said: "Courtois's attack was too reckless!"
The Rose Garden stadium fell silent instantly, and a tsunami was brewing.
Li Chuanqi quickly stepped forward, raised his chest, stopped the football in front of him, and pushed the ball!
The football flew toward the empty goal and into the net!
