Atletico Madrid's head coach, players and fans all hope it's a coincidence.
Pacheco swore it was a coincidence.
But the ever-victorious Lazio showed them what a flood-like offensive is!
Atletico Madrid fought tooth and nail to hold on.
And Chang Sheng will not let them get what they want.
Next, Lazio's offensive attacks came one after another against Atletico Madrid.
This leaves Atletico Madrid with only the ability to parry and no ability to counterattack at all.
They can only squat down and hold their heads with their hands to ensure that their faces are not hit, which is considered a success.
What about stabilizing the position, what about waiting for an opportunity to counterattack... these are all out of the question!
Aguirre's eyes widened as he watched on the sidelines. He really felt that what was hitting his team's defense was not Lazio, but a raging flood!
They came from all directions, constantly attacking Atletico Madrid's crumbling dam.
If an Atletico Madrid player gets the ball, he will immediately be surrounded by two or three Lazio players, and within five seconds, the ball will change hands!
Then comes another round of offensive!
Lazio's attack feels suffocating.
It was so fast that the commentators couldn't even chat a few words, they just kept calling out the names of the players who were catching the ball.
"Handanovic handed the ball to Belletti, and Belletti passed the ball to Motta in the center. Motta passed the ball diagonally to the wing. Gotze got the ball! He passed it to Cavani...
Interpretations like this became the mainstream explanation method among commentators during this period.
Because apart from constantly saying your name, you have no time to say anything else.
Lazio's quick passing and cutting is dazzling!
They were even more shocked that the ball could be passed so fast?! How did they do it? How did they know that when the ball was passed, their teammates would definitely appear at the next receiving point?
Sometimes people watching the game even think that the Lazio players are passing the ball randomly. They just pass the football casually. In fact, it is impossible for anyone to catch the ball!
But when the football passes, everyone will be surprised to find that a Lazio player did appear there and receive the ball.
No matter how hard Atletico Madrid's players press, they just can't be one step faster than Lazio!
When the director in charge of the live broadcast of the game saw this scene, he suddenly thought...what would it look like if it were given a panoramic view from the air?
There happened to be a camera position above the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
So he gave the order to cut to the uppermost camera position.
Soon, everyone saw the scene shot from the air.
From the air, the Lazio players wearing blue jerseys are like blue water, they are constantly flowing!
From the backcourt to the frontcourt, from the wing to the center, and from the center to the wing.
Except for goalkeeper Handanovic, you can't find a single Lazio player standing on the court at a glance.
What is total offense, total defense?
This picture gives everyone a good demonstration of Total Attack and Total Defense!
When attacking, all Lazio players rush forward, like a rising tide.
When defending, all Lazio players retreated, as if the tide was ebbing.
Just like the tides of the sea, one rises and one falls, one rises and one falls.
It's like breathing, rising and falling.
But the most dazzling thing is the rhythm and rhythm of Lazio's attack.
It really seems to be flowing water, flowing without any hindrance. If Atletico Madrid puts an obstacle in their path of attack, they will not stop, they will immediately spread the football. People will also run away.
Just like running water encountering a stone, go around it!
So no matter how many stones Atletico Madrid used to block Lazio's attack, Lazio could get around it like water.
Finally arrived at the embankment formed by Atletico Madrid.
It's a pity that this dam is a shoddy project and is not tight enough. There are always gaps and loopholes.
So when water encounters such a dam, it will seep through the gaps and loopholes. At first, it is just a trickle, but as the water pressure increases, the dam eventually breaks. The flood erupts like a swift and violent beast, and pours out in one fell swoop.
Down!
In an instant, Atletico Madrid's rear area was flooded!
When a commentator saw such a game scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's really smooth and breathtaking! Such an attack...it's terrible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Modric taking the ball in the center on the screen and moving the ball to the wings.
Because Atletico Madrid's defense is concentrated in the center.
At this time, the defensive strength on the wing is very weak.
Gotze received the ball.
Atletico Madrid immediately shifted its defensive focus to the wing where Gotze was.
This can be regarded as the dam built by Atletico Madrid when facing Lazio's offensive tide.
But their defense did not stop Lazio's offense.
There was no situation where Gotze was holding the football, not knowing what to do, and stopped and looked around.
As soon as he received the ball, right back Belletti rushed up from behind him.
So Gotze passed the football to Belletti.
After Belletti received the ball, Atletico Madrid's defenders also focused on Belletti.
No one noticed Gotze for the time being.
The German youngster took this opportunity to move to the center.
Atletico Madrid defended tightly here, and Belletti had no good way to break through.
So Belletti tried to pass the ball, but instead dunked the football back, and then passed it to another midfielder Motta who was coming to support him in the ribs.
Then he continued to break through to the bottom line, getting into a position of playing an over-the-top two-on-one with Motta.
In this way, Atletico Madrid's defensive focus must be placed here. If they withdraw, wouldn't Belletti be able to easily receive the ball and then form a breakthrough or cross?
Therefore, they ignored the defense in other places.
Motta sent an overhead kick.
But it wasn't passed to Belletti, but to the ribs!
Here, Gotze, who had just returned to the center from the wing, suddenly turned around. He made a 90-degree right-angle turn! He penetrated from the ribs into the penalty area!
Atletico Madrid midfielder Maxi Rodriguez, who was retreating, tried to jump up and head the ball away.
But he got ahead of himself.
The football fell from behind him.
Gotze raised his foot and hooked the football!
"Nice stop! Mario Gotze!"
The TV broadcast lens immediately cut to the main camera position in the center of the main stand, and the lens was pushed closer so that the audience could see it more clearly!
In the footage, Mario Gotze made a fake move and suddenly rushed toward the baseline.
Atletico Madrid's center back Ujfalusi quickly followed up and planned to make a reasonable collision. Gotze, who did not look strong, was knocked away so that he had no chance to shoot directly.
But just as his body pressed against Gotze, Gotze passed the football!
Sweep with one kick!
The football rolled against the turf in front of the goal!
At this time, Atletico Madrid's defender and goalkeeper were all focused on Gotze, and goalkeeper Franco moved to the front point to block the near corner.
Behind him is... an empty gate!
"Edison Cavani!!" As the commentator roared, Cavani flicked his leg, and the football changed direction and refracted into the goal...
"Fifteenth minute! 3:0! Lazio is crazy!!!"
※※※
Gotze, who was knocked to the ground by Uyfalusi, rolled backwards and stood up from the ground again.
He cheered the goal with open arms!
Cavani rushed towards him and hugged him tightly.
But the two didn't celebrate for too long.
They separated immediately, and just ran back with their arms around each other's shoulders.
As for the football in the goal, Cazorla, who was originally ambushing in the back post, rushed in and fished it out immediately.
The Lazio fans in the stands were shouting, while the Atletico Madrid players on the field were already ashen-faced...
The game has only started for fifteen minutes!
We're already three goals behind. How are we going to play this game?
※※※
"God... look at the slow playback of the goal just now... This is a shot taken from the air, it is too clear... Lazio's goal path is too clear! Modric passes to Gotze, Gotze passes
Belletti came in behind, and then he started to circle to the middle. Belletti passed the football to Motta who came up to meet him. Motta did not stop the ball and passed directly over the top! Gotze suddenly changed direction in the middle and inserted into the penalty area.
After attracting the attention of all Atletico Madrid players, he swept the ball into the center. When Cavani shot, there was not a single Atletico Madrid player around him! Check out this slow-motion replay of the overhead shot...
…This is Lazio’s offense! With this kind of offense, no matter how tight Atletico Madrid’s defense is, loopholes will always be found!”
Caressa was also stunned by Lazio's goal.
Mainly because it happened to be an overhead shot, so the passing and running routes of Lazio players were very clear. It was clear at a glance, like a tactical demonstration on a moving tactical board...
He believed that this was not a combination of Lazio players' sudden inspiration, but rather the result of their continuous practice in daily training.
Because the timing for every player to make a running pass is just right.
If Gotze passes the ball late, when Belletti wants to sprint towards the baseline to create an illusion, there won't be that much room for sprinting. The impact on Atletico Madrid will be much smaller.
And if Belletti wants to force a breakthrough with the ball, the other teammates will become decorations and have no effect at all.
If Motta does not pass the ball immediately after getting the ball, but looks around, the opponent may immediately press forward, forcing him to pass back or move to the middle, which will eventually become a lateral kick. Only he sends it out immediately.
This through ball can penetrate Atletico Madrid's defense and give Gotze a chance to take him by surprise!
Even if he is a picky perfectionist, he has to applaud this goal!
※※※
Aguirre stood on the sidelines with a blank look on his face.
He no longer knew what to do or think.
The whole process of this goal was the process of Atletico Madrid's defense being toyed with by Lazio while applauding.
In this process, the Atletico Madrid players didn’t even touch the skin of the football!
Complete defeat!
And what made him feel as if he was in trouble was that, only fifteen minutes into the game, Lazio had already scored three goals like crazy!
If this is luck, this is a coincidence...then their luck is too strong, right? Is this coincidence too fake? (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go and read.)
