Chapter 153: Group First

Li Qingshan kept shaking the ball above his head, and clearly saw the football flying into the goal.

When he jumped in front of him, a row of photographers behind the billboard shot a variety of shots, and the photographers frantically pressed the shutter, leaving the image of a giant flying in the air.

"Li Qingshan! Nod Ball Before!! Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!”

"Nice head-to-head goal! Li Qingshan jumped forward and threw the ball into the goal! ”

"In the duel in the air, I rarely see anyone better than Li Qingshan!"

"Atletico Madrid equalised, 1-1!"

With the huge cheers of Calderón Stadium, the players of Atletico Madrid hugged each other in the corner flag area, and Li Qingshan was crushed by the excited teammates. Many people slipped to their knees and roared in his ears.

Li Qingshan grinned, even though he had scored many goals, scoring goals was still a very exciting thing for him, and every goal could make his heart surge.

Li Qingshan ran back to his own half surrounded by his teammates.

Atletico Madrid equalised after an overall poor form.

The group stage at home of the Champions League, although it was a little unsmooth, but after the equaliser, it looked like he was on the track he should have.

..........

Simeone finally breathed a sigh of relief that Atletico Madrid had another killer feature when many attacking tactics didn't work, and the advantage of attacking set-pieces helped the team equalise.

He straightened up his tie, which had been torn up from anxiety, and then turned to sit back in the dugout.

Jurgen Klopp stood on the sidelines with a wry smile, and he was able to set up his defence against all of Atletico Madrid's attacking strengths, but none of them worked when it came to attacking from set-pieces.

Atletico Madrid is really powerful in set-piece attack, Li Qingshan's advantage in the air is too great, even if Dortmund's two central defenders are almost the same as Li Qingshan in size, but from their confrontation point of view, Li Qingshan's physical confrontation, whether it is Hummels or Ginter, has not been able to win the one-on-one physical confrontation with Li Qingshan.

What now?

Klopp calmed down and thought.

The worst-case scenario is, of course, to lose this game.

It's 1-1 and in fact it's acceptable for Jurgen Klopp. Even if Roma may be able to win against Liverpool, and Dortmund draw this time, the two sides will also have seven points, and the final round is at Dortmund's own home stadium, as long as they draw with Roma, they can qualify with the advantage of goal difference, after all, Roma lost to Atletico Madrid in the first round of the group stage by too many goals, and their current goal difference is still negative.

Klopp's brow furrowed.

There needs to be at least one draw in this game to gain the advantage in the final round!

Jurgen Klopp made a two-handed forward gesture on the sidelines, signaling the Dortmund players to press forward.

Want to keep the draw and press forward?

That's right, Klopp is still thinking of using attacks to suppress Atletico Madrid. In his opinion, Dortmund did well in the first half, and Atletico Madrid failed to have too many attacking opportunities in the first half, all thanks to Dortmund's pressure on their defensive line, which made them less involved in attacking.

And Klopp did not dare to let the team shrink the defense and let the Atletico Madrid position attack. Because he is still quite jealous of Li Qingshan, the battering ram in the penalty area.

It can only allow the team to continue to put pressure on Atletico Madrid's defense, and it is best to score goals, even if it can't score, it can't give Atletico Madrid a chance to organize an attack calmly.

Jurgen Klopp's side are known for their wide range of movements, they are very physical, very fast passing, and quite daring to put in the front of the pitch, and after conceding the ball, they start to counter-attack on the spot, and do not allow the opponent to pass the ball easily.

And once the front-court counter-robbery is successful, it is a counterattack on the spot, which is very efficient, because it is very close to the opponent's goal, and the football can develop to the opponent's dangerous area at the fastest speed.

But Atletico Madrid is not so easy to suppress, even in the most extreme cases, they can pass the ball directly to the front court, Li Qingshan can also easily win the battle for the high point, control the ball, and burn the fire to the front court again.

In this way, the situation in the second half of the second half actually began to open up.

Klopp's idea is to replace defense with offense.

Simeone, on the other hand, simply doesn't want to accept a draw at home.

As a result, Atletico Madrid has also begun to invest more in attack.

By the time it was more than seventy minutes, the pace of the game had been fully pulled up.

The two teams are fighting against each other!

In the 74th minute, Li Qingshan passed the ball back to Griezmann, Griezmann shot directly to the ground on the periphery of the penalty area, and the football was deflected after being blocked by the defender, but the speed also slowed down a lot, and the football was easily controlled by Weidenfeller.

Weidenfeller then threw the ball directly to the side and launched a counter-attack.

Mkhitaryan burst forward with the ball on the flank, then cut inside to spread the defense and then fired a left-footed shot at goal!

Oblak made a brilliant save to get the ball off the line.

In the back and forth, both sides completed a very dangerous attack.

However, despite the attacking threat created, it was as if both teams had lost their goalscoring luck at the same time.

In the second half of the second half, both sides had more than 20 shots on goal, but those shots were either saved by the goalkeeper or simply did not hit the woodwork.

Such a wonderful battle is of course very enjoyable for neutral fans, and the two teams have no reservations, and the pace of the game is so fast that people dare not blink for fear that they will miss a goal in one turn.

Both sides looked as if they were ready to score at any moment, but they never managed to pierce the window paper.

If you want to say that the most tangled are of course the fans of Atletico Madrid in the stands of the Calderón stadium.

When Atletico Madrid attacked, they cheered loudly and cheered for the team.

However, when Dortmund had an attacking chance, their hearts were lifted again.

In this fast-paced game, the two teams are like dancers dancing on the tip of a knife, and if they are not careful, they will be stabbed by sharp blades.

However, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score between the two teams remained at 1-1.

When the match was over, Klopp finally had a relaxed smile on his face.

It certainly wasn't because they drew away from home to Atletico Madrid, and with Jurgen Klopp's character, a draw wasn't enough to excite him.

It was the other game in this group that came with good news, with Liverpool winning 2-1 at home to Roma. As a result, Liverpool and Roma are tied on four points, while Borussia Dortmund have seven points, and Dortmund have a huge advantage in the battle for second place in the group.

And Atletico Madrid, which has eleven points, has also locked the first place in the group in advance.
