Chapter 82: Everyone wants to score

Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United vs. Atletico Madrid!

It was undoubtedly a high-profile match, on the one hand against Manchester United, who have a glorious history in the Champions League, and on the other hand, Atletico Madrid, the upstart of the Champions League for two seasons.

Domestically, the match between Manchester United and Atletico Madrid is also a game that has attracted much attention, and in addition to the huge appeal of the Champions League itself, Li Qingshan's popularity in China is also immeasurable.

Many fans set their alarm clocks early and were ready to get up to watch the game, while many Chinese fans didn't sleep at all, and stayed up until half past two and turned on the TV.

On the second day of China, there will definitely be a lot of Chinese fans who go to work or school with black circles.........

However, it is very lively on the domestic Internet now, with fans eagerly discussing the development of this game, and most of the comments are in favor of Manchester United.

This is also normal, after all, Manchester United's overseas fan base is far greater than that of Atletico Madrid, and Manchester United also has Li Qingshan in the team, which will of course make most Chinese fans support Manchester United.

.........

When the players from both sides lined up in the tunnel of the players, everyone's minds were ready for the game.

"We're not going to lose the Champions League this time, it's just a pity that this title has nothing to do with you." Griezmann walked over and said to Li Qingshan, who was at the bottom of the line.

"It's not certain who will advance to the final, Anthony Jr." Li Qingshan smiled.

"Damn! Don't call me Little Anthony!! Griezmann said a little frantically, I don't know why, Li Qingshan can always make him crazy easily. You don't have a chance anymore, it will be us who will advance to the finals!! ”

"Not necessarily, little Anthony." Li Qingshan turned his head and said, before Griezmann went crazy, he hurriedly continued: "Why don't we make a bet, whoever loses, who treats, how, just after this game!" ”

"Ha, then you can prepare the banknotes, Li !!" Godin also came over.

"That's right, that's right, count me in !!" Cork wasn't willing to be lonely, either.

Soon Li Qingshan's former teammates came over, Li Qingshan rolled his eyes, this group of guys played a good game, if they lost, they only had to invite themselves, and if they lost, then almost the entire Atletico Madrid players had to be invited.......

For the sake of your own purse, you must not lose!!

............

At the end of the pre-match vignette, under the leadership of the coaching staff, the two sides walked out of the players' tunnel and onto the court.

After all the pre-match procedures, the players of both sides are standing in their respective positions, and the focus battle is about to begin!

Manchester United got the kick-off for the game, with Li Qingshan and Di Maria standing in the centre circle, waiting for kick-off.

When the referee Thomson blew the whistle for the start of the game, they sent the ball out and then passed it back, and the game began.

As everyone expected, from the very beginning of this game, Manchester United used the power of the home field to launch a fierce attack.

United's attack was fairly straightforward and not dragged on at all.

Atletico Madrid's defense is not a big bus in the traditional sense, but a high pressure on Manchester United's ball-handlers.

However, Manchester United did not have a way to deal with it, and after the football was passed all the way back, and after Atletico Madrid pressed almost enough, Rojo directly hit the left side of Manchester United's attacking direction.

Di Maria took the ball and used his personal foot skills to open up gaps in the pass, and then crossed directly to the back post.

Despite being relatively far behind, Li Qingshan still chose to throw the ball himself and attack the goal, forcing Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak to make a thrilling save! Got the ball off the line.

Less than a minute into the game, Li Qingshan completed a high-quality attack, and Manchester United won a corner!!

"The game has just started, Manchester United entered the state quite quickly, Li Qingshan's header forced Oblak to make his first save of the game, with such a situation, I believe that his photogenic rate in this game will not be low!!" Duan Xuan said with some excitement.

Oblak immediately got up from the ground after making a save, clapped his hands to remind the Atletico Madrid players to concentrate, and then began to direct the defense of corners.

Manchester United's corners have always been their scoring weapon, and many teams may have withstood the Reds' attack in positional battles against Manchester United, but often looked helpless in corners.

In this corner, it was still Manchester United who grabbed the first point, Li Qingshan jumped high in the penalty area, and beat Atletico Madrid's central defender Godin to shake his head and arch, but unfortunately the football was slightly above the crossbar........

The Manchester United fans in the stands let out a sigh of regret, but they immediately applauded Li Qingshan's head-to-head attack this time!

"Oooo Manchester United's players are very motivated and they came into the game very early. In the commentary booth at Old Trafford, Andy Gray was talking excitedly with headphones.

Simeone, on the sidelines, frowned slightly, and in less than two minutes of the opening game, Manchester United had two extremely dangerous shots on goal, and it seemed that the opponent was really in good form today.

But fortunately, Simeone did not shrink in the backfield to play a counterattack as expected by the outside world.

In fact, Simeone is not prepared to let Atletico Madrid defend away from home, relying on his lead to slowly wear down the opponent, and then take the opportunity to steal a goal or something.

This is not at all in line with Simeone's aesthetic.

For Simeone, this is an away goal, since it is an away game, then of course it is an attack, Atletico Madrid scores a goal is an away goal, and this away goal is worth two goals!! Why not do such a lucrative business?

As for solid defense, let's wait for Atletico Madrid to score first.

So in this game, Atletico Madrid's strategy is also the first to attack. It's just that there was no possession of the ball in the first two minutes, so people haven't found Simeone's intention for the time being.

But after Manchester United's attack, it was quickly discovered that Atletico Madrid didn't seem to be playing their cards in the normal way.

Oblak sent the ball out and Atletico Madrid played quite directly in the face of Manchester United's forward pressing.

Godin played the ball straight up front, and center Mandzukic pulled it to the left to control the ball before passing it back to the middle.

Griezmann in the middle did not choose to come by himself after receiving the ball, but passed to Carrasco on the other side.

Carrasco dribbled down and passed the ball!

Antoine Griezmann, who followed up in the middle, shook his head in front of the goal, and the ball went straight to the goal.

Fortunately, De Gea was quite focused and he reached out to get the ball out of the line!!
