When Kiko was knocked over or knocked to the ground again and again by Getafe players, he obviously began to fear physical contact and wanted to escape.
When Marcos Alonso, the head coach of Atletico Madrid, saw this scene off the court, he kept greeting the Atletico Madrid team doctor in his heart. Because before the game, the team doctor patted his chest and assured him that after Kiko returned from injury this time,
, he will definitely not be injured again, and he is already at the best level, both physically and mentally, and he can already attack Atletico Madrid on the court.
That's why he boldly put Kiko on the list.
Unexpectedly, in the face of Getafe's slightly bigger moves, Kiko actually showed his intention to back down!
This is called being at the best level physically and mentally?
Damn it!
Kiko is the spiritual leader of the team and the flag. Although Salva has scored many more goals than him, why does he still insist on letting Kiko play?
Because Kiko is the backbone of this team! Tower of power!
As long as he is on the court, even if he does not score a goal, he can bring strength and hope to the players of Atletico Madrid. No matter what difficulties they face, as long as Kiko is there, the players of Atletico Madrid will be strangely at ease.
Be determined.
This is the role a leader should play.
But if Kiko starts to shrink, what will happen to the other Atletico Madrid players?
Obviously, the morale of other Atletico Madrid players has been hit!
He suddenly understood why Getafe was so harsh on Kiko, who had not scored a single goal in the first half of the season, and even valued it more than Atletico Madrid's top scorer Salva...
It turns out that the purpose is to destroy Atletico Madrid's leader and spiritual pillar. Once the spiritual pillar collapses, Atletico Madrid's morale will also collapse...
He turned to look at the young Chinese coach next door, surprised by how ruthless this man was.
In any case, Kiko is the prince of Atletico Madrid and a famous star in Spanish football. He deserves to enjoy different treatment from others. What's more, Kiko himself has a humble and gentle personality. He is likeable, even if he is playing away games.
, the opposing fans rarely boo Kiko.
Such a beloved and respected player was treated so brutally and brutally in Getafe!
That Chinese guy...he can really do it!
Marcos Alonso gritted his teeth.

"We have a saying in China." Chang Sheng looked at the embarrassed Kiko on the court and said to the assistant coaches Rudy Gonzalez and Manuel Garcia beside him.
"What?" Manuel Garcia, a qualified admirer, asked immediately.
"To shoot the man first, shoot the horse; to capture the thief first capture the king." Chang Sheng first said it in Chinese, and then translated the meaning of this sentence in Spanish.
"Didn't you wonder before why I attach so much importance to a player who didn't score a goal in the first half of the season? This is the reason." He laughed.
One week before the game, when the team began to arrange tactics against Atletico Madrid, Chang Sheng once proposed that the first priority should be to contain Atletico Madrid's captain Kiko.
Before the game, there were many reports that Kiko would return from injury in this game and was in excellent condition. However, both Rudy Gonzalez and Manuel Garcia were opposed to Chang Sheng doing this. They
I think Chang Sheng was deceived by the media, and the actual situation is different from what the media said.
Their reason is that Kiko failed to score a single goal in the games he participated in in the first half of the season. As Atletico Madrid's center, as long as he is not injured, he will play but failed to score a goal. What does this mean?
It shows that Kiko's condition is very poor, and continuous injuries have eroded his condition and confidence.
It is really unwise to waste all the defensive forces on such a waste and relax the surveillance of Salva.
But Chang Sheng insisted on his own opinion. He was the head coach, and the others had nothing to say.
Anyway, the head coach is responsible for losing the ball...
Until now, watching Kiko shrinking under Getafe's pressure, watching Atletico Madrid's offense stalling and making slow progress, and then hearing the words "constant victory", they started to think about the arrangement of "constant victory" again.
.
"Shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first, capture the king..." Rudy repeated Chang Sheng's words in a low voice, and then laughed. "Interesting," he said.

The ferocity of Getafe players exceeded the imagination of Atletico Madrid players and coaches. They did not expect that they would encounter such great resistance in the away game. Getafe is a Madrid team, and they are accustomed to treating Madrid as their own territory.
, do you think that no matter how good the team on your own territory can be, how good can it be? Getafe ranks first in the league, that's because they haven't met us, Atletico Madrid!
Atletico Madrid, who came to the Alfonso Pérez Stadium with such confidence, was beaten full of bruises by Getafe's violent punches.
Especially when they saw Kiko helpless under the almost cruel pressure of Getafe players and could only retreat step by step, Atletico Madrid players felt powerless.
In fact, even if Atletico Madrid has lost many big-name stars, there are still many outstanding players.
For example, Roberto is a veteran of Atletico Madrid and has always been the main player of Atletico Madrid. For example, Aguilera was the main full-back of Atletico Madrid before Ranieri arrived, and was later snatched away by Serena.
After taking the main position, he is also a veteran player of Atletico Madrid and the vice-captain of Atletico Madrid. Together with Kiko, he manages the team's dressing room. There is also Lardin, this player was working with Raul Gonza.
A young genius as famous as Reis. Their current main goalkeeper Toni also used to be the main player in Aragones' Espanyol team. He has always been the third goalkeeper of the Spanish national team, second only to Canizares and
Molina, until the rise of Casillas, a talented boy.
This strong team really shouldn't be ranked so low.
But their game against Getafe may explain why they are ranked tenth in the league half way through the season. This is the ranking they have recently caught up with, otherwise they would be ranked lower.
They have no soul. It is not the blow of relegation. They have no soul before relegation. Otherwise, why would they be relegated? Four seasons ago they were the double champions of Spanish football, ending Barcelona and Real Madrid's La Liga championship.
It has been a monopoly for eleven seasons. Now it is ranked tenth in the second division. It is really a tragic comedy full of irony.
The spirit and glory that Atletico Madrid was once proud of have disappeared or dimmed at this moment.
In front of their little country bumpkin brother in the suburbs of Madrid, they seemed at a loss, even... panicked.
※※※
The people who were more surprised than these Atletico Madrid players were the Atletico Madrid fans.
Not many people come to watch their away games, only about 1,300 people.
The absolute number is not much. But relatively speaking, this is a large number.
You must know that Atletico Madrid's home stadium, Vicente Calderon, can accommodate 57,000 people, and they reserve no more than 1,000 seats for Real Madrid fans at a time.
So Getafe Club is quite kind.
These more than 1,300 fans were originally planning to witness a victory on the road that would become a watershed moment for the season.
But what I didn't expect to see was the embarrassment of Atletico Madrid players.
Although they were angry and booed every time the Getafe players made rude moves, this could not hide the growing doubts in their hearts.
Even if the Getafe players moved a little bigger, how could you, experienced and highly skilled players, be in such a mess?
They don't know that Atletico Madrid's soul has been lost.
※※※
If we were to say who was the most surprised crowd in this game, then it was definitely not the players and coaches of Atletico Madrid, nor the fans of Atletico Madrid, nor even the equally surprised media.
The most surprised people were the Getafe fans.
Although Jesus Hill's provocation against Chang Sheng before the game made many Getafe fans unhappy, their disgust was directed at Hill. Anyway, Hill is not very popular in Spain, and Getafe fans
It's not surprising that I hate him.
They hate Jesus. But they have not lost their minds, so they think that even if Getafe is at home, it will be difficult to beat Atletico Madrid. Although Atletico Madrid's performance this season, they also see it.
, but they always feel that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor Atletico Madrid's performance is, as long as they are given time, they can still regain their glory.
And maybe this is the game where they can regain their glory?
Didn’t the media say it? Kiko returned from injury and was in excellent condition during training.
Kiko is like a legend in Madrid football. Even if he doesn't score a single goal, it won't affect his reputation. This is a strategic deterrent.
So Getafe fans are not very confident that their team can beat Atletico Madrid at home.
They felt that if they could get a draw in the end, it would be considered very good.
But now looking at the situation on the field, they were surprised to find... It turns out that Atletico Madrid is really so unbearable! It turns out that they really can win this game!
※※※
Among the Getafe fans watching the game on the spot, Enrique Gonzalez and his companions were the happiest. Because they have confidence in the constant victory, and they also have confidence in Getafe, which always wins.
confidence.
If Getafe were led by another coach, they would be as worried as others at this time, thinking that Getafe would definitely lose to Atletico Madrid.
Then again, if another head coach were to lead this team, it's hard to say whether Getafe would still be ranked first in the league...
Enrique Gonzalez watched the game on the field and smiled and said to his companions: "It's so cool! I never dared to think that we would have a day that would make Atletico Madrid so embarrassed!"
※※※
Chang Sheng saw the changes in both teams on the sidelines.
Atletico Madrid was completely stunned. At this time, they were only one goal away. As long as Getafe can score, they can turn their advantage into a victory, otherwise everything will be in vain.
The goal must come as soon as possible, otherwise Atletico Madrid will be in trouble.
Although Atletico Madrid is still confident of winning against them even if they come back to their senses, it will still be a little more troublesome.
He doesn't want to waste too much energy on Atletico Madrid. This month is a double match a week, and his focus is on the Copa del Rey. He can save a little bit in the league.
So if Atletico Madrid can be dealt with as easily as possible, Chang Sheng will never be lenient.
He stood up from the ground, stretched his numb legs, and then stretched.
Just one goal away——
※※※
Commentator Crespo was also surprised by this game. Although he supported Getafe and was optimistic about winning, he did not expect Getafe to have such a huge advantage over Atletico Madrid.
At this moment, he noticed Chang Sheng suddenly stood up and raised his arms high.
Is this meant to cheer?
But what to cheer for?
There were no goals scored or anything else worthy of cheering.
But he soon saw clearly.
That's not cheering, that's Chang Sheng stretching!
This Chinese!
Crespo was stunned at first, then became happy.
In such an important game, with tens of thousands of eyes staring at him, he stretched himself!
What should I say?
"This... Chang stretched on the sidelines... Maybe he had been squatting for a long time... But this showed his relaxation and confidence from the side. It seems that he is confident about winning this game... But I
I think his action would be disgusting to the fans and coaches of Atletico Madrid..."
※※※
Marcos Alonso, on the other hand, felt that Chang Sheng was disgusting. He felt that Chang Sheng was so annoying and was simply a bitch!
On my side, I was frowning and wondering how to solve the problems encountered by the team, but on the other side, Chang Sheng stretched his legs!
Does he think this game is too boring?!
This is naked contempt!
Atletico Madrid is the third-largest club in the entire Spanish football world, and is a well-deserved giant in the Spanish second division. No matter where we go, the local stadiums are full, and everyone rushes to see Madrid.
Competitive heroics... When has such a proud team ever received such treatment?
How dare he openly defy Atletico Madrid?!
Lawless, lawless... simply lawless!
Just when Marcos Alonso was furious about his winning streak, he heard a huge cheer suddenly rang out in the stadium.
The cheers were louder than any before. If you hear them suddenly, you will think that a goal has been scored...
So he turned around to look at the stadium with surprise and suspicion.
He saw the football at the feet of Getafe's Luis Garcia, who was dribbling the ball towards Atletico Madrid's penalty area!
At the same time, Charisteas and Mista also came in at high speed, and this time even Balzaretti, the left back, rushed forward.
This scene makes every Getafe fan excited!
Because they know very well that this is Getafe's sharpest weapon - counterattack!
High-speed counterattack!

Crespo, who was in the commentary box, shouted into the microphone. His voice was even hoarse due to the excessive force, and all the saliva came out.
