Chapter 90 Mutual Attack and Defense

"In the seventh minute, there was something going on the pitch. Diego Costa looks like he's strained his thigh muscles! ”

Sure enough, the team doctor made a substitution gesture off the field, and Diego Costa couldn't hold on. Atletico Madrid's luck was so bad that they lost a big man less than ten minutes into the game at this crucial juncture. Diego Costa was substituted due to injury, with Arda Turan coming on. ”

"It's not good news for Atletico Madrid, it's not good."

Diego Costa slowly walked out of the pitch with the help of the team doctor. Simeone came over to comfort his disciple and asked the team doctor to treat his muscle injury first.

Muscle strains weren't going to heal for a while, and by the time Diego Costa got on the bench with a thick ice pack wrapped around his thigh, the game was already back in action.

Ancelotti was secretly happy that the opponent lost a big player at the beginning, and wasted a substitution place, which seems to be a good sign for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's players thought the same way, so they were ready to take advantage of the chaos that could have happened to Atletico Madrid's recent substitutions.

However, they soon suffered, and Diego Costa's injury did not weaken Atletico Madrid's defensive hardness, but rather the arrival of Alda Turan made the midfield's defensive pressing stronger.

Modric retreated to the back line to get the ball and launched a long pass to find Bale, Bale just turned around and prepared to get up to speed, Alda Turan who had just come on the field stabbed the ball away from his feet, and then Alda Turan was ready to cross Bale to catch up with the ball that was stabbed in front of him, Bale certainly couldn't let him go like this, Carvajal had just set the edge - there was a large gap behind him. So Bale hurriedly drew a tactical foul and reached for Alda Turan to pull in.

Referee Kujpels had just put the whistle in his mouth and was about to blow for a foul, but he soon found that the ball was still at Atletico's feet, so he hurriedly put his hands forward to signal that the attack was advantageous.

Raul Garcia rushed up to receive the ball poked out by Alda Turan and ran as fast as he could on the left flank.

"Atletico Madrid's counterattack!"

Raul Garcia barely had any defenders within a dozen meters in front of him, which allowed him to go straight to the baseline.

Varane, centre-back on the left, could only rush up to make up for the space left by Carvajal's advance.

Before Varane came up, Raul Garcia went straight to the cross - now all teams know that Li Qingshan's header is very powerful, so they strictly limit Atletico Madrid's cross. However, Atletico will not let that stop them from sending crosses from the wings. Atletico's wide players' ability to cross is an important subject of the team's training. In the case of being defended closely, it is necessary to pass the ball more quickly, send the ball to the penalty area, and let Li Qingshan head the ball in the penalty area.

Raul Garcia crosses !!

Li Qingshan rushed into the forbidden area and jumped up.

Ramos jumped with him, and Varane had to fill in the position, so now only Ramos and Li Qingshan were left one-on-one in the penalty area.

and Ramos fought one-on-one for the header, and Li Qingshan still won easily.

He grabbed this landing spot and shook his head to attack the goal.

Casillas was taking to the air, but he didn't touch the football. He breathed a sigh of relief when he looked away and saw that the ball hadn't flown into the goal.

Li Qingshan waved his fist in annoyance after landing on the ground, this is a great opportunity, maybe there are not many such header opportunities in the whole game, and it was actually deflected, so Li Qingshan is now regretful.

The goal was not well scored, much to the dismay of the Atletico fans, but they soon cheered – the referee ran up to Bale and showed him a yellow card – for a tactical foul on Aldaturan that he had previously compensated.

Atletico Madrid fans cheered, Real Madrid fans didn't do it. Atletico Madrid frequently fouled and didn't get a single card, and Real Madrid was shown a yellow card for "occasional fouls"? As a result, the Real Madrid fans at the scene broke out in boos and sent them to the referee on duty, Kujpels.

However, the person Balle did not argue - his tactical foul was undisputed and he was shown a yellow card. And as a striker, there aren't many opportunities to get a card, so being shown a yellow card is not a big deal.

Carlo Ancelotti didn't react much to the yellow card, after all, it wasn't Ramos or Varane who got the yellow card. If his two centre-backs had been carded, Ancelotti would not have been so calm.

It's just that he still has some lingering palpitations about Atletico Madrid's counterattack before, and he watched Li Qingshan jump up and head in the penalty area, and raised his eyebrows............ That doesn't seem like a good sign.

"Li Qingshan beat Ramos in the Real Madrid penalty area and shook his head to attack the goal, but unfortunately it was a little off!" Seeing that Li Qingshan's header was not scored, Duan Xuan also said with some regret.

Today he is completely on the side of Atletico Madrid, and he is not afraid of offending the Real Madrid fans in China at all. Although Atletico Madrid now has Chinese player Li Qingshan in the team.

He is not a fan of Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid, but in this game, he is a fan of Li Qingshan. Cheering for your fellow citizens is a matter of course.

...........

Atletico Madrid's attack was very direct, and it also had a certain effect, causing some problems for Real Madrid. But Real Madrid is not a soft persimmon, and Atletico Madrid's pressing cannot completely paralyze Real Madrid's attack. Real Madrid can still threaten Atletico Madrid's goal through their overall quality and the individual ability of their stars in local positions.

Di Maria used his personal ability in the midfield to pass successfully, before Atletico Madrid fouled, he passed the ball forward to Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo cut inside and shot directly at the goal, the football hit the side netting in the near corner, and the Atletico fans behind the goal saw the net shake and exclaimed. They almost thought they had scored.......

"Cristiano Ronaldo!! It's dangerous! ”

"Almost !! goal"

'It was Real Madrid's most dangerous shot since the game. It looks like Real Madrid are also in the game and there is a good show to watch in this game! ”

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score this goal, but he was not as annoyed as the last shot, because he had already shot with this shot, and when the next time he had a chance to shoot, he was confident that he could definitely hit the goal. Anyway, the game is still long, and he still has a lot of shots on goal.

And this shot also proved that Atletico Madrid's tight defense is not without holes, and Real Madrid can still create many chances.

When the time comes, it will depend on the ability of both sides to seize the opportunity.
