Chapter 270 Comprehensive suppression

This is an unexpected goal.

Diop was a defensive midfielder but he rushed up to join in the fun, but unexpectedly the ball hit his head.

Diop roared excitedly, raised his arms and rushed to the sideline.

All the players also followed Diop to the sidelines to celebrate the goal with him.

In the stands, there was thunderous applause, and fans chanted "Diop's" name.

Atletico Madrid players were stunned by this goal.

During this period, they played very well. Although there were not many chances to score, they were very close to scoring.

But the Spaniard didn't even have a chance to shoot.

But suddenly, without warning, the Spaniard scored.

It was not Zhao Yang who scored the goal, but a defensive midfielder.

However, Atletico Madrid is an experienced and tough-minded team, and the impact of losing the ball on them is short-lived.

Soon, Atletico Madrid adjusted their mentality and continued to attack the Spaniard.

After the goal, the Spaniard continued to shrink his defense to see if he could steal another one.

Atletico Madrid suffered a loss, so how can they not gain experience? When they attack, they pay great attention to counterattack on the spot.

If you can capture it, you can counterattack on the spot. If you can't capture it, you can also delay the Spaniards' counterattack.

Atletico Madrid's full-backs and full-midfielders kept attacking the penalty area from both sides, and players in the center also kept inserting themselves into the penalty area to shoot.

Under Atletico Madrid's strong pressure, the Spaniard defended very hard, using his body to block Atletico Madrid's passes and shots several times.

If you only defend without a chance to counterattack, you will make mistakes sooner or later.

In the 35th minute of the game, the Spanish center back pushed the ball out, and the ball flew to the midfield and was won by Koke.

Previously, Atletico Madrid had to split the ball in midfield.

This time, Cork did not separate the sides, and passed a through ball to the feet of Atletico Madrid forward Torres.

There were two defenders around Torres. When they saw the ball being given to Torres, they immediately closed the door in the middle to prevent Torres from breaking through. At the same time, they also blocked Torres' shooting angle.

If it were Torres five years ago, he might have caught the ball and turned around, and before the opponent could close the door, he would have had a one-on-one opportunity.

But now Torres no longer has this explosive power.

Torres still has experience, and he knows that the opponent is going to close the ball, so at the moment of receiving the ball, Torres has already predicted that the opponent's defender is going to close the ball.

After Torres pulled the ball and turned around, he did not move forward, but split the ball and handed it to Fernandez on the wing.

After passing the ball, Torres quickly moved forward, preparing to outflank.

Fernandez didn't stop the ball and immediately passed the ball across the penalty area.

Torres's pass was unexpected. After seeing it, the two Spanish center backs quickly separated and prepared to help defend the wing.

At this moment, when Torres advanced, there was no defensive player around him.

The ball is here, the man is here! Torres fell to the ground and shot, and the ball hit the net.

1:1

Ten minutes after Diop's goal, Atletico Madrid quickly equalized the score. The goal was the 32-year-old veteran Torres.

There was silence.

The applause and cheers from hundreds of Atletico Madrid fans seemed particularly harsh at this time.

Simeone was so excited that he jumped up, punched the court and roared.

Atletico Madrid players also ran towards Torres, who scored the goal, and threw Atletico Madrid's golden boy onto the grass.

The on-site commentator He Wei sighed: "It's scored! It must be scored! If the opponent presses the attack like this, conceding the ball is inevitable! Not conceding the ball is luck."

Another commentator said: "It is too early to use intensive defense! Although breaking intensive defense is a worldwide problem, it will definitely be solved as time goes by."

He Weidao: "It's not that the Spaniards want to defend intensively, they are forced by Atletico Madrid. No one controls the midfield. If they don't defend intensively, they will be beaten by Atletico Madrid."

The source of the Spaniard's passivity is still in the midfield. They cannot break Atletico Madrid's high press, cannot control the ball, and can only defend intensively.

In fact, even a technically proficient team like Barcelona cannot handle Atletico Madrid's pressing.

In La Liga, Barcelona is often defeated by Atletico Madrid. Even if they win, it is thrilling and embarrassing.

The Spaniard's personal ability is not as good as Atletico Madrid's, and his overall cooperation is not as good as Atletico Madrid's. It is normal for him to be comprehensively suppressed.

After Torres scored, the two sides returned to the same starting line in terms of score, but the psychology of the players on both sides was completely different.

Atletico Madrid's psychological advantage has become even greater, and they are more comfortable in both offense and defense.

But intensive defense is a worldwide problem.

Atletico Madrid has the absolute upper hand, but under the opponent's crowd tactics, it is difficult to turn the advantage into goals.

Many opportunities missed by just a hair, or a few seconds, and ended up being destroyed by the opponent or not touching the ball.

Under Atletico Madrid's pressure, the Spaniard didn't get a second shot until the 44th minute.

This was when Zhao Yang suddenly moved from the center to the wing. His running attracted Atletico Madrid to follow him in the center.

Zhao Yang was double-teamed by Atletico Madrid and almost broke through, but was finally held back by Atletico midfielder Carrasco.

The referee awarded a free kick from the wing.

The Spaniard's last goal was a set piece, and this time they did it again.

Then they came out in full force and ran to Atletico Madrid's penalty area to compete for this set piece.

Atletico Madrid did a very good defensive job. Not only did they guard against arrow figures like Zhao Yang and Moreno, but Diop, who penetrated from outside the penalty area, was also frustrated this time and failed to grab the spot.

But at this time, another Spaniard stood up.

The old captain of the Espanyol, Victor, who also played as a defensive midfielder, suddenly moved forward, rushed into the penalty area and shot from behind.

This position and this moment were beyond the imagination of Atletico Madrid, so Victor Sanchez was unmarked.

However, with no one on guard, Sanchez jumped up high, but failed to hit his right position, and the ball went directly into the sky.

The ball fell and was picked up by goalkeeper Oblak.

Oblak quickly threw the ball to Griezmann and launched a counterattack as quickly as possible. Griezmann got rid of Duterte's marking on the wing and crossed into the penalty area at high speed.

At this time, the Spaniard's defense was almost empty, and the two central defenders went to the penalty area to grab points.

If Griezmann brings it to the front of the penalty area, the ball will be very dangerous.

Spaniard midfielder Diop desperately chased back from Atletico Madrid's penalty area, but was still unable to get in front of Griezmann.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the penalty area, Diop did not dare to hesitate and directly tackled Griezmann from behind, knocking Griezmann to the ground.

Atletico Madrid players were like a frying pan and immediately came to the referee and asked for Diop to be sent off.

However, the referee believed that the tackle did not cause damage to Griezmann and that Griezmann's ball did not pose a direct threat of shooting, so he did not give Diop a red card. He only awarded a direct free kick and gave Diop a yellow card.
