Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Shooting Machine

Li Qingshan is in trouble, and Atletico Madrid's offense is naturally in trouble. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Li Qingshan's header was restricted, the Atletico Madrid players began to consciously reduce the number of crosses. Simeone has been carefully crafting Atletico Madrid for three years now, and Atletico Madrid is very mature in their current play, and they have other attacking methods and don't have to fight Sevilla on crosses.

It's just that in this way, Li Qingshan in the penalty area will get fewer opportunities.

In fact, Li Qingshan has been battling with Fazio, and after another aerial header missed, he didn't plan to jump up, he planned to face the opponent on the ground.

Anyway, he can judge the landing point in advance of everyone else, so he is standing on a line where he can reach the ball without jumping, and on the ground, the opponent's interference is not so effective. You can also control the direction of the header more calmly.

But now the other players of Atletico Madrid do not have the same idea as Li Qingshan, since the cross is not working, they will attack in a different way.

After all, Li Qingshan is just a player who has just transferred to Atletico Madrid, and his status in the team is not high enough to be as absolute core as it was during the Guangzhou Evergrande period. In fact, Simeone gave Atletico Madrid's players very little tactical freedom, and it was almost impossible for Li Qingshan to expect Simeone to give him plenty of free space like Lippi.

However, in addition to his header, he also had a long-range shot. After Atletico Madrid reduced his crosses, Li Qingshan also began to frequently pull out to receive the ball and participate in the team's attack.

Li Qingshan's long-range shot created a lot of threat, but Sevilla's goalkeeper Beto was in very good form in this game, and Li Qingshan's several long-range attempts were saved by him.

Long-range shots are sometimes like this, when they are far away from the goal, the goalkeeper also has more reaction time, and Li Qingshan can't play a super world wave with every shot, and when the goalkeeper is in good condition, the threat of long-range shots has naturally dropped a lot. Sometimes, the goal of a long-range shot sometimes even requires a little luck, such as encountering a defender in the middle to change direction, but today Li Qingshan's luck is obviously not very good, and his shots are defused by the goalkeeper one by one.

In the second half, it was Sevilla who took advantage of a counter-attack opportunity to score first. When Rakitic scored past Courtois with a long-range shot from the edge of the box, Simeone threw down his water bottle in frustration. Atletico Madrid had plenty of chances in this game, and Sevilla didn't have a lot of shots, and Rakitic's shot was the first to hit the woodwork, but they scored.

That's sometimes the case in football, you may dominate the whole game, but if you don't score, then the opposition are likely to take advantage of a counter-attacking opportunity to score, even if it may be the only chance of the whole game.

It wasn't until near the end of the game that Atletico Madrid equalised. Cork tried a cross from the wing, this time Li Qingshan finally controlled the direction of the ball, Koke's cross was passed to the front point, Li Qingshan ran to the front point first, this time he did not jump, resisted Fazio's collision and crossed the ball into the box, Diego Costa followed up and knocked the ball into the goal.

In the end, Atletico Madrid drew at home to Sevilla.

At the end of the game, Atletico's players looked a little frustrated, and after dropping two points at home, Barcelona were likely to be pulled away from the table.

In this round, Barcelona faced Levante away from home. Levante's strength is naturally difficult to pose much threat to Barcelona, and when this game is over, "Daily Sport" can't wait to declare that after this round, Barcelona will dominate the table!

The match between Barcelona and Levante came two hours after the start of the match between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla. When the Barcelona players learned of Atletico Madrid's home draw with Sevilla, they celebrated in the dressing room before the game, completely ignoring their opponents today, Levante.

However, the result of the game turned out to be a big surprise. Levante was very tenacious at home and the game was not as easy as Barcelona had imagined. In the end, Levante stubbornly drew Barcelona at home!

The top two top two lost points at the same time in this round, and they still have the same score and have 51 points!

However, Real Madrid defeated Real Betis 5-0 away in this round, and the points rose to 50 points, only one point behind the top two teams!

After this round, the battle for the top spot has gone from a two-on-one race between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona to a troika. Compared with the double reed drama of Real Madrid and Barcelona in previous years, the competition for the La Liga title this season is unprecedentedly fierce.

And what is also interesting in this round is that Li Qingshan did not score, and his goal tally stopped at his fifth game in La Liga.

And the limitations he was limited in this game are obvious to all.

In the 20th round of La Liga, the Chinese striker Li Qingshan, who joined Atletico Madrid in the winter transfer window, came to an abrupt end in his streak of goals. Although he finally equalized with a header for Diego Costa, he continued to bite Barcelona in the standings. But this may provide ideas for his team to defend Li Qingshan. ”

"In fact, Li Qingshan's characteristics are still single, although he has a record of scoring goals with long shots, but he is still quite dependent on headers, if he is sent to a strong and good header when facing him, a central defender who is good at heading is responsible for marking him, just like Sevilla, so that his header power will be greatly weakened."

"There's no denying that Li Qingshan is a very good striker, and he has been perfect in the first four games since joining Atletico Madrid, but his singular weaknesses can easily be targeted by La Liga managers. He's been so good in the first four games in big part because he's just arrived, people don't know enough about him, and once he's played well, teams start to take it seriously about defending him, and it's unlikely that he'll be able to maintain the goalscoring efficiency that he's just been in La Liga. After all, not everyone can be Messi and Ronaldo. ”

Li Qingshan was holding a bunch of Spanish newspapers and looking at them laboriously.

The media's criticism of him made him indignant, but he had to admit that there was some truth in what some media said. He can't rely on the header forever to win the world, and if he does, sooner or later he will be thoroughly studied. In Europe, there are a bunch of managers who specialize in football tactics, and this time it is Sevilla who has limited themselves, and the next time they don't know how the opponent will defend. And he can't rely on long-range shots as the main means of scoring - he is a striker, not a midfielder, and no striker uses long-range shots as the main way to score, because shots from outside the box are too fortuitous to be a consistent way to score.

The solution to this dilemma is that you have to strengthen other offensive methods.

Li Qingshan thought so and did so.

On the evening of the same day, Li Qingshan, who once again entered the world of football training camp, canceled the training task of heavy artillery and replaced it with an advanced task - shooting machine.

Now that Li Qingshan's score on the skill of heavy artillery has reached eighty-nine, it is already very difficult to improve through training. And what Li Qingshan urgently needs now is the means of scoring in the penalty area. In the box, he relies most on headers at the moment. But as a centre-forward, he has to have other ways to score in the box.

The skill of shooting machine is very suitable for him.

An excellent scorer in the penalty area must be familiar with various shooting methods and means, and be able to send football into the opponent's goal in the most suitable place and in the most suitable way!
