Chapter 233 Equalize (for Little Fat Pig Alliance Leader
In Getafe's dressing room, their half-time break was tense and efficient, and filled with a sense of optimistic confidence.
And these are not seen in the Atletico Madrid dressing room.
Marcos Alonso's first five minutes were very confusing.
He severely criticized the players' performance in the first half, believing that their poor performance had embarrassed himself and the club chairman, Mr. Hill.
He spoke incoherently, reversing the same words, just like he did at the pre-match press conference, which is quite "legacy" of Kevin Keegan.
After five minutes of self-confusion, he finally realized that there was no point in continuing to curse like this.
He must make some changes.
First, he must know in which direction to change.
Now he has to do a multiple choice question.
Judging from the first half of the game, the chance of beating Getafe with a big score at home is not high, or even very small.
This means that he is likely to be unable to complete the tasks assigned to him by the Chairman.
If you still focus on trying to beat Getafe, you may allow the opponent to seize the opportunity to counterattack and score one or two more goals.
Then a new problem will arise - Atletico Madrid is not only unable to help Mr. Chairman get revenge, they may also lose the qualification for promotion!
Marcos Alonso must make a choice now. Should he focus on helping the president to get revenge, or should he first ensure that the team can at least be upgraded?
If he chooses the latter, it means that he will be much more pragmatic. He will not aim to score many goals, as long as he can win, whether it is winning one or two.
Then his tactics also need to be modified. In the second half, he will pay more attention to efficiency, rather than wielding his bastard fists and beating him randomly.
But if he chooses the latter, he will have to be prepared to bear the anger from Jesus Hill...
It took two minutes. Marcos Alonso finally made his decision.
He chose to ensure the upgrade first.
He thought that even if he failed to complete the task of helping Mr. Chairman to get revenge, as long as he led the team to upgrade, such a big contribution could always be offset. Perhaps for the sake of him leading the team to upgrade, Hill He won't be dismissed from get out of class.
And when the time comes, the fans may also stand by his side. Even if Hill wants to fire himself, he may have to consider the fans' reaction.
Therefore, when the time comes, as long as he successfully leads the team to upgrade, Hill may not be able to fire himself so easily...
When Marcos Alonso made his choice, there were only more than seven minutes left before the halftime break.
So he began to hurriedly tell his latest instructions to his players, asking them to slow down the pace in the second half, not to attack Getafe's goal blindly, to be careful of the space behind them, and to control the rhythm...
The Atletico Madrid players looked at their head coach in stunned silence, wondering why he never mentioned revenge - this was completely opposite to their previous tactical preparations!
Some Atletico Madrid players feel at a loss and don't know what they should do.
Don’t we need to avenge our beloved chairman? Don’t we need to avenge that 0:3 game in the first half of the season?
Marcos Alonso saw the players' expressions and read the doubts inside.
He knew what these people were wondering.
But he couldn't explain it to them.
Because...he couldn't explain it!
Do you have to admit to your players that you have nothing to do with Getafe? You can only give up the idea of revenge for the time being and make sure you can win first?
If you do this, it will definitely be a big blow to the team's morale.
This unexplainable feeling is so fucking awful!
※※※
The halftime break was like torture for Marcos Alonso.
It was not easy. He survived the halftime break and all the players on the team came to the court.
The second half is about to begin.
He stood in front of the coaching bench and felt a little uncomfortable in his back, as if something was pricking him.
He looked back at the podium.
I found that the rostrum is still empty.
The feeling of rays on my back got even worse.
He thought about it and chose to sit back on the coaching bench. The board was blocking his back. People behind him couldn't see him.
When he sat down, he felt better.
He sat on the coach's bench, thinking with some self-deprecation that coaching the team under Hill was so painful, why was he still reluctant to give up?
After all, it is the third strongest team in Spain and can be considered a giant in Spain...
What a beautiful resume it is to coach this team and lead it to promotion.
Who would be willing to give up the good thing of gaining both fame and fortune?
I had no choice but to feel pain and happiness.
※※※
After the start of the second half, neither side made any substitutions.
However, people with a discerning eye have already seen it, and Atletico Madrid has made tactical adjustments.
They no longer surrounded Getafe's goal like they did in the first half, from the beginning of the game, hoping to score as soon as possible.
They had to be more patient first. Faced with Getafe's stubborn defense, they went back and forth outside, hoping to find a good opportunity.
In the first half, when faced with such a situation, they would more often choose to take a long shot and hastily end the attack.
Crespo said something that made Atletico Madrid fans very unhappy: "It seems that Atletico Madrid fully realizes that it is impossible to defeat Getafe if they play like they did in the first half. They will only provide Getafe with more
More opportunities to fight back..."
Atletico Madrid fans in front of the TV yelled angrily: "Damn it! What do you mean it's impossible to beat Getafe? We can even win against Real Madrid, why can't we beat Getafe?!"
※※※
When Marcos Alonso adjusted their tactics, Atletico Madrid showed their strong strength. In the cheers of the home fans, their offensive, although not as fierce as before, was more deadly.
As they become more patient, it becomes more difficult to guard against them.
Besides, they also have a "golden boy" Fernando Torres who has returned to his normal level?
Torres was much calmer than in the first half.
During the halftime break, although the head coach did not criticize him, he was alone in his seat with his head lowered, reflecting on his own problems.
He is a smart man, otherwise his future achievements would not be so high.
He knew that it was his own insistence that led to Atletico Madrid's poor attack.
When he was on the court, he was so excited that he didn't realize this problem.
Only after he calmed down in the locker room did he realize what a big mistake he had made.
So in the second half, he no longer struggled with Jose Passarella.
When he got the ball, he attracted the attention of Jose Passarella. If the opportunity was not good, he would pass the ball decisively instead of being forced to pass the ball in a dead end.
Although Jose Passarella is excellent and has outstanding ability in one-on-one defense, no matter how strong one person is, he cannot defeat one against two, or even more.
When Torres doesn't stick to the ball, isn't greedy for credit, and frequently sends passes, his defense against Torres loses its meaning.
Finally, thirteen minutes into the second half, Atletico Madrid scored the equalizer goal from Salva.
At that time, it was Torres who, after attracting the attention of Getafe's defense, sent the football out to Salva, who scored with almost no one marking him.
When Salva scored, Calderon, who had been suppressed for 58 minutes, finally burst into deafening cheers.
Atletico Madrid fans are venting their emotions.
"Well done! Salva!"
"Show those damn Getafe people! This is the real Atletico Madrid!"
"Atlético Madrid must win! It will be us who go to the Serie A!"
In the stands and in front of the TV, the Atletico Madrid fans were waving their fists and shouting demonstratively.
Salva, who scored the goal, was still posing and celebrating the goal.
Torres had already rushed into the goal, grabbed the football before Getafe goalkeeper Pablo, held it in his arms, and ran towards the center circle.
Right now it's just a draw.
A draw does not advance Atlético Madrid. Only a win does.
Torres doesn't look like he's wasting time celebrating his goal.
※※※
Marcos Alonso finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Salva sweep the football into the Getafe goal.
The pressure that had been weighing on his shoulders suddenly disappeared, making him feel relieved.
Although a draw cannot guarantee the team's promotion, at least it is a good start. The next step is to reverse and win.
The news from another stadium is that Real Betis continues to lead Gahn 1:0 in the away game.
So this score actually cannot help Atletico Madrid to upgrade.
But there is always hope...
※※※
Chang Sheng frowned when he saw Atletico Madrid players celebrating a goal off the court.
After all, we still lost the ball...
Atletico Madrid, playing at home, cannot be underestimated.
If I hadn't angered Hill before the game and made them waste half of the game, I'm afraid this game would have been much more difficult than it is now.
However, this lost ball only made him frown. Within two seconds, his expression returned to normal.
A draw will not allow Atletico Madrid to be promoted, it will only give them hope of promotion. So they will be motivated by this hope to attack harder.
This also means that there will be more space behind them.
And Getafe, who always wins, is best at winning and losing defensive counterattacks, but they like to exploit holes in the opponent's defense and open spaces behind them...
In this way, Getafe will have more opportunities.
※※※
Flores was sitting in the box, surrounded by Atletico Madrid fans. After Salva scored, they all jumped up from their seats and cheered heartily, even some demonstrative cheers.
Someone else shook their fist at him.
Because just in the first half, when Getafe scored a goal, he jumped up and cheered loudly. This already showed his identity.
Naturally, the Atletico Madrid fans in the box would not beat him up, but they could still use this goal to ridicule Flores and demonstrate to him.
Flores turned a deaf ear to the noisy Atletico Madrid fans around him.
He stared straight at the court below.
You wouldn't be satisfied with just a draw, would you, Chang?

ps, at first I thought it was just a monthly ticket that needed to be updated.
So after adding more updates, I accidentally glanced at the book review area and realized that I was wrong...
Not only do we need to update when the monthly tickets arrive, but we also need to update when a new leader is born!
