Li Chuanqi's goal ignited the atmosphere at the Calderon Stadium and also boosted the morale of Atletico Madrid players.
In the following games, they pressed even more fiercely, and Barcelona stars frequently fell to the turf.
Among them, Iniesta, Xavi and other team core players have become the "key care targets" of Atletico Madrid players.
Under Atletico Madrid's "chaos", it was difficult for Barcelona to organize a decent attack.
In the 39th minute of the first half, Barcelona struggled to launch an attack from the left. Xavi took the ball under Gabi's defense and struggled to transfer the ball to Alba who was advancing forward.
Juanfran made a flying tackle and Alba fell to the ground.
The Barcelona players were angry and rushed towards the scene of the incident...
Seeing that the situation was not good, Atletico Madrid players immediately rushed to the scene of the incident.
The atmosphere on the field became tense.
Barcelona fans booed and shouted angrily: "Red card! Red card! Red card!"
The referee Lajos rushed to the center of the incident and gave Juanfran a yellow card!
The Barcelona Sports commentator shouted loudly: "Yellow card? The referee only gave one yellow card?! This is obviously a red card!"
The Sky Sports commentator said: "If it were in the Premier League, such a penalty scale would not be a big problem and would not cause controversy, but in La Liga...
Barcelona coach Martino seems very angry and is complaining to the match supervisor!"
The chaos was subsided after two minutes, Alba was taken off the field on a stretcher for treatment, and Barcelona got a good free kick opportunity.
Pique rushed into the Atletico penalty area, yelled at Xavi and Iniesta, and told them to send the ball directly into the penalty area, and he would complete the header.
Xavi and Iniesta discussed it and finally agreed to Pique's request.
Xavi kicked the football into the Atletico Madrid penalty area. Pique jumped up high to complete the header!
Godin, who took off at the same time as him, grabbed his jersey in the air and pulled him down hard!
In a flash of lightning, the football flew over Pique's head and was headed out of the penalty area by Miranda behind Pique!
Li Chuanqi flew toward the football like lightning. This was an opportunity for a quick counterattack!
But Busquets did not let Li Chuanqi get the football this time.
When Li Chuanqi was only two meters away from the football, Busquets made a rare drop of his center of gravity and destroyed the football from the sideline.
Not only that, he also shouted loudly at his teammates, calling attention to Atletico Madrid's quick throw-in.
Pique complained to the referee and quickly retreated.
"He pulled me! He pulled me right in the air! Referee!"
Harvey shouted at Pique: "Quick! Go back!"
Damn it, the referee has already given the penalty!
Why don't you go back to defense quickly!
Turan quickly sent the football to Li Chuanqi. Li Chuanqi wanted to get rid of Mascherano who was defending behind him, but was knocked down directly by the opponent.
At this moment, Barcelona's defensive players have returned to their positions, and Atletico Madrid has lost the opportunity to quickly counterattack.
When the game restarted, Godin made a long pass to find Costa who was ambushing in the arc of the penalty area.
Pique didn't give Costa a chance to get the ball, so he jumped up and pushed the football back.
Li Chuanqi relied on his strong premonition to steal the ball the moment Harvey got the ball!
Due to the influence of his sight, Harvey did not notice Li Chuanqi at all.
So when he parked the football to his right and was about to turn around, the football was snatched away by Li Chuanqi.
From a distance, it looked like Harvey deliberately stopped the football for Li Chuanqi.
This scene stunned Barcelona fans and overjoyed Atletico Madrid fans. Some even began to mock Xavi: "Xavi is really Li's good teammate!"
"Yes, yes, Xavi thought it was the Spanish team playing and deliberately stopped the football for Li!"
Now that the media coming today has surpassed the showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona, in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans, they have replaced Real Madrid as the most famous team in the city.
Of course, we have to replace Real Madrid fans to angrily criticize Barcelona.
This change in mentality is subtle.
After Li Chuanqi got the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball to observe Costa's position.
Although it is comfortable and exciting to challenge a team alone, football is a team sport, and it is even more wonderful if you can cooperate with your teammates to score goals.
Costa is moving forward quickly at the moment!
"Pa!..."
While dribbling the ball, Li Chuanqi seized the opportunity and passed the ball straight!
The football flew past Mascherano and flew towards the left side of the penalty area!
Costa shouted "good ball" in his heart and accelerated towards the ball!
"Wonderful pass!"
The commentator of Madrid Sports Station said loudly: "In addition to his super individual combat ability, Li is also a master in passing!
The timing of this pass is just right. If it is passed early, Costa has not reached the position yet. If it is passed slower, Costa will be offside!"
Costa directed the football to his left front, raised his left foot and pushed the ball!
The football flew towards the goal against the turf!
Valdes jumped up and flew towards the football!
In a flash of lightning, the football flew past Valdez's fingertips, flying close to the post and out of the baseline!
"coax!……"
There was a huge cry of regret in the Calderon Stadium, followed by thunderous applause, cheering for this wonderful attack of the team and cheering.
The Sky Sports commentator loudly said: "Although Atletico Madrid's offense is not many, it is more threatening than Barcelona! Atletico Madrid's attack was initiated through Lee's steal, but it was a pity that Costa's push missed the target.
Click!
Otherwise, this is a classic steal and quick counterattack!"
The ESPN commentator exclaimed: "This is definitely a masterclass pass! Li's ability to feed the cake is amazing, he is a forward! A forward who is famous for scoring goals, not a midfielder!
From this ball, we can see Li’s comprehensive ability!
This not only reminds me of the match between Malaga and Barcelona last year, Li turned into a defensive player and abruptly stole the football from Messi's feet four times in a row!
That battle made the world know about Lee's powerful tackling ability.
Today, Lee surprised people again and sent a masterclass pass to Costa!"
Costa looked at the Barcelona goal and exhaled heavily. Damn it, he missed it?!
If I had known I was playing the opposite role!
Well, next time I’ll play the opposite role!
Costa turned to Li Chuanqi and gave a thumbs up.
Li Chuanqi also gave him a thumbs up.
"Go grab it!"
Barcelona coach Martino once again yelled at Mascherano, indicating that he should tighten the pressure on Li Chuanqi and not allow him to advance or pass the ball easily.
If Li Chuanqi's pass was contained, Atletico Madrid would not be able to attack this time.
Mascherano is also full of bitterness, is he going to rob him?
Damn it, if I go up to pounce, Li can easily leave me behind, which will be a big trouble!
At that time, you would accuse me that I should not attack and should hold my defensive position!
