Chapter 373: Controlling the rhythm brings unexpectedly good results
Li Chuanqi was excited to help the team equalize the score at the last moment.
Simeone and Atletico Madrid fans are equally excited.
The entire Spanish team shook their heads helplessly and sighed: After all, that man didn’t want to lose.
After the game restarted, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
In the end, Atletico Madrid relied on Li Chuanqi's brace to help Atletico Madrid draw a draw, and also ended the 13-game winning streak since the beginning of the season.
In an interview with the media after the game, Simeone said: "This was a difficult game. Espanyol is a team worthy of respect. Their efficiency put us in trouble.
But fortunately, we have superstars in our team who helped us get a draw at the last minute!"
In interviews, Atletico Madrid players also believed that this was a difficult game.
"Our form tonight was average, but the Espanyol team showed high fighting spirit and caused us a lot of trouble."
Costa said: "I have said before that Lee is our most important player. He has the ability to solve all difficulties. He did it tonight!"
Godin said: "We missed some opportunities when attacking and made some mistakes in defense, which resulted in a passive situation, but we finally got the results we wanted! Lee is the best, any team can change for him
The tactics are sound!"
The latter sentence can be regarded as his support for Li Chuanqi and his opposition to the Catalan media.
The Espanyol players calmly accepted the draw.
Defender Raul Rodriguez said in an interview: "If it weren't for Boschi's many wonderful saves, tonight would have been a different result. Lee's power is beyond people's imagination. Only those who have played against him will know his strength.
horrible!"
Forward Sergio Garcia said: "Although it is uncomfortable to be equalized by the opponent at the last moment, but you will understand after watching the whole game that a draw is actually the best result!"
Atletico Madrid failed to take advantage of the opportunity when Barcelona was tied by its opponent to widen the point difference. This somewhat made Atletico Madrid fans a little regretful, but they were still happy that the team could remain undefeated.
After all, the team equalized the score twice when falling behind, which shows that the team's resilience and fighting spirit are still very tenacious.
Aspen newspaper believes that Atletico Madrid can draw with Espanyol because of the star's personal ability.
"After the international competition, many stars were not in the best condition. Cristiano scored with a penalty kick. Messi came on as a substitute and failed to score. Only Li could maintain his good condition and scored twice to help Madrid.
The race leads to a draw.
Atletico Madrid's ability to retreat at Espanyol's home court did not rely on the defense, nor did it rely on the team's overall offensive ability, but on Li's flash of inspiration in front of the goal, which helped Atletico Madrid equalize the score twice.
This is the role and value of a superstar!
After joining the Spanish team, some changes occurred in Li, and he played more calmly.
When he scored his first goal, after receiving the ball from the wing, he did not make an immediate decision after receiving the ball as usual, but took action based on observation.
This shows that he is slowly maturing and has learned to control the rhythm. He no longer rushes forward when he gets the ball like before.
This is a welcome change!”
Li Chuanqi's changes in the game were also privately praised by Simeone: "Controlling rhythm is a university skill. If you can learn to control rhythm now, it will be extremely beneficial to your future development!"
Li Chuanqi didn't feel much about this and thought it was an extremely ordinary change.
After playing La Liga, Atletico Madrid will soon face the third game of the Champions League group stage.
They will go away to challenge the third opponent in the group-Austria Vienna.
In the first two games, Vienna had one draw and one loss, ranking last in the group, while Atletico Madrid won two consecutive games and occupied the top spot in the group.
Although Atletico Madrid ended its winning streak in La Liga, the media and fans before the game generally believed that Atletico Madrid's away win was not a big problem.
On October 22, Atletico and his delegation rushed to Vienna.
At 12 noon, Atletico Madrid and his delegation appeared at the Vienna International Airport, and were greeted by many media reporters.
Simeone is full of confidence in the game: "Although we ended our winning streak in the just-concluded La Liga match, I am still full of confidence in tomorrow night's game."
Li Chuanqi showed a strong desire to score goals: "I hope to use my goals to help the team win, not a draw."
Vienna is the capital of Austria, the largest city in Austria, and one of the nine federal states in the country. It is known as the "Music Capital of the World".
Vienna is the second most populous German-speaking city in the world and is one of the four official seats of the United Nations and home to the headquarters of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and the International Atomic Energy Agency, among other international agencies.
Vienna has a long history and beautiful scenery. It has been rated as one of the most livable cities in the world by the United Nations Human Settlements Program for many years. Before World War I, it was the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, the Grand Duchy of Austria, the Austrian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Its ancient city center is listed as a World Heritage Site.
Li Chuanqi was sitting on the bus rushing to the hotel and was attracted by the charming scenery of Vienna.
“I must find time to come here for a vacation in the future!”
Such thoughts came to his mind.
When they arrived at the hotel, what surprised Li Chuanqi was that they were greeted with flowers and applause.
The hotel staff were very enthusiastic and many people took photos with him.
The living conditions of the hotel are good, and the restaurant also specially prepares Spanish food, making Atletico Madrid players feel "at home".
At 8:45 pm the next day, the match between Atletico Madrid and Vienna started on time at the Franz Hall Stadium.
The Franz Hall Stadium, which can accommodate more than 10,000 people, was packed with seats.
Simeone made a rotation in this game, with Li Chuanqi and Garcia starting together, and Costa and the injured Villa sitting on the bench.
After the game started, both sides conducted tentative attacks.
As time goes by, Atletico Madrid gradually controls the rhythm of the game by virtue of its strength advantage.
In the 17th minute of the first half, Li Chuanqi took the ball from the right and slowly approached his opponent.
When the opponent was about to attack, he suddenly accelerated and advanced along the side road at high speed!
Vienna's central defender immediately defended.
Li Chuanqi clicked lightly and slowed down again.
When the defensive player slowed down, he accelerated again, and after two big steps, he stepped out of the passing space!
"Pa!..."
Li Chuanqi passed the ball across the goal, and Garcia rushed to shoot!
The football flew into the net against the inside of the post!
The ball went in!
One to zero!
Simeone was happy and said to his assistant: "Learn to control the rhythm, and Li will be even more intimidating!"
