Chapter 675: Against Malaga

Before coming to Malaga, the Atletico captain accidentally contracted the flu and was left in Madrid by Simeone, who started in place of Gabi in this game with young teenager Oliver Torres.

This is a young player who is expected by everyone, born in 94, he is known as "Little Iniesta", he is a talent with outstanding skills, and Simeone also values him very much, often training with the first team.

And from the arrangement of this game, you can know how much Simeone values him, and Atletico Madrid's midfield can be said to be the most crowded piece, but Simeone still chooses to use him.

This is also the only change in the entire starting line-up for Atletico, with no changes to the other positions, with Lin Dong and Costa in the attack, followed by Koke, Turan, Thiago, Oliver Torres, and then Felipe, Godin, Miranda, Juan Fran, and goalkeeper Courtois.

The two sides have met 60 times before, and Atletico have won a lot of games, winning two and drawing one in the past three seasons at the Rose Garden.

However, Atletico's players did not seem to be in good shape, and although the kick-off rights belonged to Atletico, Atletico's first wave of attacks ended in failure.

In this game, Koke took over Gabby's task in midfield, responsible for deploying the midfield, Oliver Torres was too young after all, so he appeared on the wing-back and was responsible for attacking the ball.

Koke was intercepted and crossed to Thiago, who took two steps to link up with Turan, but the pass between the two was cut off by Malaga defender Camacho.

Speaking of Camacho is still an out-and-out Atletico Madrid, born in the Atletico Academy, Camacho was also favored by countless people at that time, including Barcelona and Real Madrid.

There is no shortage of genius in the world of football, especially in Europe and South America, but if the most talented players cannot turn their talent into strength, the final result can only be wiped out.

There is no doubt that Camacho is a player who has not fully exploited his talent, and although his quality is not bad, it is still too far from what people expect, otherwise he would not be able to stay in Malaga.

After breaking the ball, Camacho fed the ball to Mussal, who entered the heart of Atletico along the wing and sent it into the Atletico penalty area with a low pass

Juanmi, Malaga ushered in the first shot, Juanmi's explosiveness was quite good, and he used his explosiveness to shake off Godin and complete the shot.

However, Juanmi's shooting level is really not high, the angle is too positive, and it was directly confiscated by Courtois, but this is normal, not that person is as perverted as Lin Dong, not to mention that Juanmi is just over twenty youngsters.

Málaga's midfield is very young, with five attacking players and four post-90s, the oldest being right-back Eliseu, from Portugal, who can play from the back to the winger.

Málaga's tactics in this game were quite conservative, and they actually played five defenders, you know, this is the first time that Atletico Madrid has encountered a back five formation this season.

On the other hand, the midfielder is young, and the age of the backfield players is in the normal range, basically at the best age of their careers, before the age of thirty and after the age of twenty-five.

A player is generally completely stereotyped around the age of twenty-three, of course, there are not many late bloomers, Lin Dong has met several, in the Atletico lineup, Costa is considered a late bloomer.

Lin Dong is actually considered to be, although he is not yet twenty-four years old, but his particularity is destined to make him unable to be the same as a normal player.

As Lin Dong became more and more famous and performed more and more well, Seoul FC also completely became a joke, after all, Seoul FC is Lin Dong's first club no matter what, although Lin Dong in Seoul FC is just a waste of time in the eyes of many people.

Courtois kicked the ball in goal, Lin Dong retreated and headed it back to Koke, who chose to dribble the ball himself and went all the way into the heart of Malaga to pass the ball to Oliver Torres.

Young people, who is not eager to become famous with a goal, even Lin Dong is no exception, let alone a genius, Torres, who received the pass, decisively held the ball forward.

It's not for nothing that Torres has been called "Little Iniesta", his dribbling skills are quite good, and although he is still a little immature in terms of rhythm, as long as he grows smoothly, his achievements will certainly not be too low.

"Oh oh oh~~~ La Croqueta~~~Pretty ~~~ Oliver Torres" croquettes, Iniesta's famous technical move, since it is called "Little Inesta", must be proficient in this move.

"Young~~~ still too young" But soon Martinez's cheers turned into sighs, because Torres was too sticky to the ball, after breaking through Antunes, Torres did not cross with his feet, in the penalty area, Lin Dong and Costa were already in place, but Torres wanted to take the ball into the penalty area by himself, but was caught by Antunes and Williton, and the ball was broken.

Malaga took advantage of the situation and launched a quick counter-attack, Antunes found Samuel with a through pass, who quickly rushed into the heart of Atletico with the ball and was immediately brought down by Juanfran.

Yellow card and free kick, there must be a price to pay for stopping the counterattack with a foul, and then Antunes opened the free kick, and Godin in the box fought for the first landing point and cleared the ball.

However, the ball that came out of the ball was at the feet of Malaga, Samuel, who did not adjust after receiving the ball, and with a heavy shot, the ball flew through the crowd and towards the Atletico goal.

"Bang~~~" goalpost, the ball finally hit the post, and then bounced on Felipe and then bounced off the bottom line, Malaga's attack was not over.

Fortunately, Courtois did not give Málaga another chance this time, and the corner kick was directly confiscated by Courtois, and Málaga's attack finally came to an end.

"Atletico Madrid must pay attention to it, Malaga used a familiar way for Atletico Madrid" Indeed, counterattacking is Atletico Madrid's best attacking method, but Atletico Madrid was suppressed by Malaga in this way at the beginning.

Atletico Madrid players are naturally aware of this problem, so in the next wave of attacks, Atletico Madrid players played quite patiently, and it took nearly four minutes to complete Atletico's first official goal.

After passing for a long time in the midfield, Turan suddenly found Lin Dong with a long pass, Lin Dong's header was diagonally knocked to Costa, and Lin Dong immediately squeezed away the defender and rushed to the Malaga penalty area after landing on the ground.

Seeing this, Costa was not greedy, after all, there were two defenders in front of him at the moment, and the diagonal pass would be given to Lin Dong, and then Lin Dong shot directly from a distance, which was blocked by the Malaga goalkeeper with his fist.
