Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Difficulty of Not Having Money

"Oh, I really didn't expect that Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, two teams that are better at defending and counter-attacking in people's minds, are fighting each other at the moment!" Andy Gray said.

"It's related to the weather, and the defense is at a disadvantage at this time, because it's slippery in the rain and it's easy to have all kinds of accidents! Therefore, both sides did not dare to retreat in the backfield to defend with peace of mind. 'As an experienced player, Gary Neville is still very knowledgeable about rainy games.

Chelsea completed an attack and now the ball is back on Atletico Madrid's side.

Atletico were also unceremonious, with Courtois driving a straight ball past the half.

Li Qingshan grabbed the ball in the air and passed it to nearby Alda Turan. Alda Turan received the ball near the centre circle and slid to the right past Torres, who had come up to pounce.

Torres is nicknamed "left-back" by fans, but his defensive skills as a striker are not very good, so it is relatively easy for Alda Turan to get past him.

At this time, Ramirez also posted up, and in the face of the defense of the regular defender, Alda Turan did not dare to hold it up, and he passed the ball diagonally to Koke in front.

Li Qingshan was running diagonally, while Gary Cahill was in hot pursuit behind him.

Coke, who was originally pretentious to pass the ball to Li Qingshan, saw this situation and expressed his original thoughts, and scored the ball to the other side and passed it to Diego Costa.

Diego Costa went straight forward without stopping the ball, flashed past the Chelsea defenders, and then looked at Li Qingshan's position and crossed directly!

Gary Cahill held on to Li Qingshan's position while the rest of the players battled for the spot, with Chelsea having enough defenders in the front, centre and back three.

In the face of the threat of Li Qingshan, a big center forward, in the penalty area, Chelsea naturally did not dare to take it lightly.

Mourinho has carefully studied Li Qingshan's characteristics, and he found a reality that made him very helpless, if he had a tough confrontation with Li Qingshan, then he really didn't have a player on hand who could have a head-on physical confrontation with Li Qingshan - although Terry is also very strong, but after all, where is Terry's age, not to mention strength, physical fitness is not as good as the young Li Qingshan. Boxing is afraid of being less strong, and football is also afraid!

Therefore, Mourinho's defensive tactics for Li Qingshan are to let Cahill keep an eye on Li Qingshan, and do not ask to confront Li Qingshan head-on and grab the first point, but to make Li Qingshan uncomfortable with a direct header, interfere and entangle him, so that he can only pass back and cross the ferry through the header, and then grab the second point.

With so many men in the box and six regular defenders on the pitch, Chelsea still have an advantage in the fight for the second point.

The advantage of this is that it will not involve too much of its own defensive strength because of Li Qingshan, and the disadvantage is that grabbing the second point may not be guaranteed to be 100% grabbed.

Like this one.

Although Cahill stuck Li Qingshan and didn't let him turn around easily, there was only so much he could do, Li Qingshan still easily controlled the high-altitude ball, he jumped up in the air and even had time to observe the position of his teammates left and right, and then decide who to pass the ball to.

It's like a pie player jumping in the air.

Before Li Qingshan fell from the sky, he decided who to give the cards to, and his header was lightly directed to the left of the middle.

Diego Costa, who had just passed the ball to him, had quietly slipped around the baseline in a circle, just in place, and Li Qingshan's pass was also in place!

Diego Costa was about to shoot straight at goal, but the deceived Ivanovic hurriedly went down to try to block. But Diego Costa faked it this time, with a left-footed smash to take a step down the middle, then picked up his right foot.

This is a direct shot!

The football flew towards the goal like a meteor, and the momentum sank!

Petr Cech wasn't fooled by Diego Costa's feint, he adjusted his position to Diego Costa's position, and when Diego Costa got up to shoot, Petr Petr pounced sideways to save Diego Costa's shot off the line!

"Cech!!" Andy Gray exclaimed, "Cech saved Diego Costa's powerful shot!" The Czech goalkeeper was perfect! ”

"Ahh Duan Xuan's reaction was completely different from Andy Gray, and he felt very sorry that Diego Costa's kick did not score, "This kick is still a little more correct, if the angle is a little off, Cech will not have a chance to save!" ”

Diego Costa himself was holding his head and regretting that if he had opened up a few more angles when shooting, instead of over-emphasizing power, he might have scored this goal.

He patted his head, then turned around and gave a thumbs up to Li Qingshan, who had given him a good kick. Although Li Qingshan and him have only been teammates for half a season, their current tacit understanding has been cultivated. The attack was created by the passing of the two Atletico Madrid strikers to each other.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, Simeone was mixed at this moment. The good thing is that his two strikers work together well and are in good shape. The worry is that Diego Costa has already talked to him, and next season Diego Costa will seek a transfer to another league, and his next home is likely to be Atletico Madrid's opponent Chelsea!

It is said that after Mourinho entered the palace for the second time, he asked for the introduction of strikers. Simeone squinted at Mourinho, who was standing a little quiet on the sidelines.

Hum!!

For those who want to poach their own players, Simeone can only scoff at who makes the family rich

In this football world, it is not necessary to have money, but it is impossible to do without money

For example, Diego Costa, Chelsea paid him twice as much as Atletico Madrid, how many people can resist such a temptation.

Even Torres, the golden boy cultivated by Atletico Madrid since childhood, Atletico Madrid signed a professional contract with him when he was fifteen years old, making him the youngest captain in the history of Atletico Madrid, which is deeply emotionally bonded, but in the end, Torres has not left Atletico Madrid to break into the Premier League

Torres is like this, and Simeone naturally can't be moved by Diego Costa, who is not from the Atletico Madrid academy. I just hope to be more generous to the team of this Atletico Madrid striker, and it is good to exchange more transfer fees.

Simeone shook his head, this is the difficulty of not having money

Just when Simeone was a little distracted, the situation on the field quickly forced him to shake off all distractions.

Koke didn't feel very good at his feet today, as his corner was too close to the goalkeeper and was picked up by Cech.

As soon as Cech picked the ball, he took a few steps out and threw it forward!

The ball flew straight through the centre circle and the closest player to the ball was Torres!!

Atletico's two centre-backs are still in the Chelsea penalty area, leaving only Juanfran and Felipe behind!!

"Back to the defense!! Defend quickly!! ”

Simeone shouts from the sidelines!
