Chapter 133: A Great Victory

Of course, the Roma fans in the stands could see this smile on Li Qingshan's face, and they were even more anxious and angry this time. There were even a number of people who tried to climb over the railing and walk down the course. Fortunately, the security personnel at the scene were in place in time and pulled these people down.

After Totti saw Li Qingshan provoking his fans, he came up and pushed Li Qingshan. As Roma captain, Totti's status in the team is unquestionable, and he will never allow anyone to provoke his fans.

Seeing this, the Atletico Madrid players also rushed over, and Mandzukic pushed Totti away.........

This can be regarded as completely detonating the emotions of the players on both sides. Roma's action at the beginning of the game was very big, which has already made the players of Atletico Madrid hold their breath, Simeone's men are not good babies, when the opponent fights them, they will not be guilty at all!

The Roma players saw that Mandzukic actually dared to push Totti, of course, they would not let the Roma bigwigs suffer, and they rushed up one after another, ready to escort the bigwigs. And the players of Atletico Madrid were of course not to be outdone, for a while, the scene was quite chaotic, the players on both sides of the field scolded and pushed each other, and the fans on the field booed, mixed with all kinds of Italian swear words...........

When the chaotic scene was suppressed by the referee, the referee began to deal cards. Li Qingshan received a yellow card for provoking fans, while Totti and Mandzukic were also warned by yellow cards for pushing each other.

Li Qingshan scored in the 44th minute before the end of the first half, and the riot between the players on both sides lasted for nearly three minutes, and by the time everything had calmed down, the first half was over.

The half-time was full of twists and turns, with Roma leading 2-0 and then Atletico Madrid scoring three goals in quick succession to take the lead before half-time.

As the players from both sides stepped off the pitch and into the tunnel, Mandzukic and Totti were still chattering and spitting at each other. If it weren't for the vigilance of the on-site security personnel and the referee, the two sides would have fought again in the players' tunnel.

Roma and Atletico Madrid had no feud before the game, having only met once in an official match, in the 1998-1999 Europa League, when Atletico Madrid won home and away to two 2-1 victories against Roma. Therefore, it is really unexpected that this match between two teams that have not been in the past and have no enemies in recent days will evolve into the current hot situation of Mars hitting Earth.

In the eyes of the media, after the format of the group has been carefully analyzed by media experts, it is generally believed that although this group looks like a super death group on the surface, the two qualifying places will be produced between Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and Dortmund, and Roma, although good in Serie A, can only play the role of a spoiler in this group at most.

At half-time, Simeone praised his team's performance in the closing stages of the first half, but he also criticised the team's mistakes of concentration in the first half.

"The teams in this group are quite strong opponents, and the two goals conceded in the first half tell us that if we are careless, then in the end, whoever it is, Liverpool, or Borussia Dortmund, or Roma in today's game, will bite a piece of meat off us!"

Simeone was in the dressing room making his final closing remarks for one of his speeches.

..........

The break passed quickly, with Atletico Madrid's players appearing on the pitch first, but their opponents Roma were slow to show up in the tunnel.

A lot of teams play these little tricks at half-time. Drag a minute or two in the dressing room and let the opponent wait on the pitch, so that the opponent may become agitated in their mentality, which is a convenient opportunity. Especially now that Atletico Madrid is playing away, they are standing on the pitch and are "warmly welcomed" by the Roma fans on the spot!

Finally, with the intervention of the stadium supervisor, the Roma team was belated.

It's hard to say if they did it on purpose, perhaps it was their poor defense in the second half that left their manager so unhappy that fifteen minutes were not enough for Mr. Rudy Garcia to vent his anger..........

Rudy Garcia appeared on the sidelines with a serious face. In fact, he didn't give much criticism of Roma's performance in the first half, and the time at half-time was so precious that as a manager he really shouldn't spend his main energy on swearing. He mainly made adjustments to the second half of the game. Now Roma are behind at home and they will have to do something if they want to get points. In this group of death, if they can't get points at their home stadium, then qualifying is fanciful for Roma.

...........

At the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid did not retreat and play counter-attacks as Rudy Garcia expected, but played very aggressively. After winning the Champions League, Atletico Madrid also has the temperament of a champion, when they have the ball at their feet, they dare to invest in attacking forces, even if they lose the ball because of this, Atletico Madrid will not retreat, but counter-attack on the spot.

Li Qingshan was also active in the second half, with his presence as an offensive fulcrum in the front court, Atletico Madrid was much sharper when attacking in positional warfare, at least under the suppression of Li Qingshan, the distance between Rome's two central defenders and the two backs did not dare to stretch too far to prevent Li Qingshan from gaining too much space.

And when Li Qingshan single-handedly restrained half of the opponent's defense, Mandzukic, another striker of Atletico Madrid, frequently pulled to the side to bully Roma's fullbacks.

Mandzukic, who was born as a center forward, also has a strong body, and with the physicality of Roma's two full-backs, he is also a little powerless when facing the impact of Mandzukic.

In this way, the offensive brewing in the opening phase of Roma was stillborn.

The Roma fans in the stands were almost hoarse.

First of all, of course, Li Qingshan, who dared to provoke them in the first half and scored three goals to overtake the score, as long as Li Qingshan touched the ball, the fans at the scene immediately booed.

Another player who has been taken care of by Roma fans is Mandzukic, who clashed with Totti in the first half. What a status Totti has in the hearts of Roma fans, so when Mandzukic got the ball, he also enjoyed the same treatment as Li Qingshan.

But to the pain of Roma fans, booing also comes at a price – first of all, the throat can't stand it. If it's other Atletico Madrid players, it's okay, but it's good to die, Mandzukic and Li Qingshan are Atletico Madrid's forwards, and Atletico Madrid has controlled the situation on the field since the start of the second half, and both of them have frequent opportunities to get the ball.

Therefore, in the 57th minute, when Li Qingshan withdrew from outside the penalty area to receive a pass from the midfield, the boos were much quieter - I don't know if there were fewer Roma fans who booed him, or if they were hoarse.

Li Qingshan thought regretfully.

Before taking the ball outside the penalty area, Li Qingshan had already observed it, so when he received the ball, he flicked his right foot, and after completing the turn, he picked the ball in the direction of the goal.

Mandzukic, who has been attacking Roma fullbacks on the side, entered the penalty area, Mandzukic is also a strong center forward with good physical strength, and the Roma team's defense was attracted by Li Qingshan's sudden retreat, so Li Qingshan's pass successfully found an open space.

Mandzukic rushes to the top of the ball, 4-2!

Atletico Madrid pulled the score away again.

In the 68th minute, Atletico Madrid won a free kick on the edge of the penalty line. Koke curled the ball around the wall, and Atletico Madrid scored another goal, 5-2!!

When in the 83rd minute, Atletico Madrid played a quick counterattack, Li Qingshan's header was returned to Raul Garcia, Raul Garcia volleyed on the penalty line, rewriting the score to 6-2, the Roma fans on the scene had long lost their previous momentum, and their team conceded one goal after another under their noses.

And the Atletico Madrid players were also celebrating excitedly right under their noses, and the Roma fans finally rang out with sporadic boos.

The game came in three minutes of stoppage time.

However, just over two minutes after the injury time, the referee on duty saw that Roma's fighting spirit had been completely crushed by Atletico Madrid, so he blew the whistle for the end of the game in advance.

Atletico Madrid beat Roma 6-2 away!
