Chapter 184 Free Kick Coordination

Antoine Griezmann saw the gap behind United and Simeone saw it too.

In fact, Atletico Madrid's players also know that as long as they can seize a counter-attacking opportunity, they can press Manchester United's attack back.

But the truth is that Atletico Madrid has not been able to effectively control the ball, and even a few sporadic counter-attacking opportunities are often uncontrollable because Griezmann and Mandzukic are too far away from the opponent's goal.

But it doesn't seem feasible to keep Antoine Griezmann and Mandzukic from coming back, and the pressure on Atletico Madrid's defence is just too great right now.

Fortunately, after a period of onslaught, Manchester United, who did not score a goal, also began to take the initiative to slow down the tempo, and the players also needed a little rest and breathing.

However, the situation of the game is still dominated by Manchester United. To the cheers of the fans, Manchester United were in control of the ball despite the slow pace of attack, patiently looking for opportunities to shoot.

Li Qingshan has a lot of pressure in this game, in fact, no matter which opponent he faces, Li Qingshan is the opponent's key caretaker, but this game is different, after all, Simeone can be regarded as one of the coaches who knows Li Qingshan best.

The failure of Manchester United to score in the first leg had something to do with it.

Simeone's pre-match focus and players highlighted the task of defending Li Qingshan. When Li Qingshan is out of the penalty area, don't let Manchester United have a good passing opportunity on the wing, even if they force a cross, they must try to interfere.

And if Li Qingshan pulls out to receive the ball, he must not be allowed to complete the reincarnation, once he turns around and lets Li Qingshan shoot outside the penalty area, Li Qingshan, who is facing the goal head-on, is quite a threat.

No matter where Li Qingshan appeared, there were players from Atletico Madrid who quickly posted it.

However, Manchester United's side is not without the right way, Li Qingshan also passed the ball to find a teammate who ran out of the vacant space when there was no chance, and kept the ball at the feet of Manchester United.

With a goal to play in, Manchester United's players are confident enough to be patient and patient.

......

In the 28th minute, Atletico Madrid finally broke off the ball, Godin stepped forward to find Mandzukic, but Hummels came out first and then pushed the ball back, Fellaini carried Saul to protect the ball, and then found Mata, who retreated to receive the ball.

Li Qingshan came out of the penalty area and reached out to ask for the ball.

Despite Li Qingshan's siege, Mata still got the ball at his feet.

When Li Qingshan received the ball, he observed the defensive situation on the left and right sides, and there was no chance to turn around at all.

But Li Qingshan decided to change the rhythm this time, and no longer chose to pass on the world, anyway, he is a center forward, and it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to successfully counterattack if he loses the goal, but if he succeeds....

Li Qingshan stood at the top of the arc of the penalty area at this time, behind him was Godin, and on the left and right were Jimenez and Koke!

Unless Li Qingshan carries Godin to the ground, it will obviously be difficult to take the ball and turn around when he is in a fixed position.

Godin was also ready for Li Qingshan to stop the ball, his upper body tightly pressed against Li Qingshan, and his lower hand secretly grabbed the hem of Li Qingshan's jersey to prevent his defensive object from suddenly disappearing.

He is not ready to go up and break the ball, as long as Li Qingshan can't turn around, he can't complete the shot, and in the end he can only pass the ball out, and if Li Qingshan stays at his feet for too long, he is likely to be cut off by Atletico Madrid.

It's just that Li Qingshan has no intention of stopping the ball at all.

He lifted his right foot and looked like he was about to stop the ball!

But when the ball came, he didn't touch the ball, but turned around!!

His choice was unexpected by Godin!!

Turn around without stopping the ball!!

In a panic, Godin had no choice but to grab Li Qingshan's jersey and pull him to the ground.

The referee's whistle blew and a foul on Godin was awarded, and a yellow card was also drawn!

Godin confessed to the foul, but this still has to be given a yellow card?!

The Atletico Madrid players gathered around to theorize with the referee, while the Manchester United players on the side applauded the referee: "This is not the first time they have done this!!" ”

Simeone on the sidelines was also very dissatisfied with this yellow card, Godin is the main force in defending Li Qingshan, and is the most relied on defensive leader in the Atletico Madrid backline.

"If you give a yellow card for such a foul, you can only say that the referee is too harsh!!" The Spanish commentator is also struggling, "The referee's home whistle for Manchester United is too biased! ”

However, Andy Gray in the commentary box believes that there is no problem with this yellow card: "Just from Godin's own foul actions, it is enough to be on the yellow card, if you take into account that he has several defensive actions that have used fouls to stop Manchester United's attack, this yellow card is even late!" ”

Li Qingshan got up from the ground and patted the grass clippings on his body.

Set-pieces are Manchester United's attacking weapon, usually Manchester United will pass the ball to the penalty area, so that the team's tall man to fight for the header, but this set-piece directly facing the goal is a good opportunity to shoot directly!

Juan Mata and Angel Di Maria were both in front of the ball.

Li Qingshan looked at the situation of the human wall, and suddenly remembered a free kick routine they had tried in training.

He stood next to the Atletico Madrid wall and quietly gestured to Mata.

Mata understood and remained silent.

Oblak was nervously lined up against the wall, and the ball was at the top of the arc of the penalty area, either with his left or right foot, and from the right foot to the goal, he was far enough away to let the ball go around the wall and then fall, and then it would not be too long and would require too much effort to cause poor arc control.

Atletico Madrid's human wall desperately wanted to squeeze Manchester United's wall-splitting players out, but Li Qingshan stood very steady, waiting for idlers to squeeze him.

When the referee saw that both sides were ready, he blew the whistle to signal that the penalty was ready.

Di Maria started to run in the group, but he rushed across the pitch without touching the football.

It seems that it was Mata who came to punish him.

Sure enough, Mata had already run over and picked up his left foot.

Just when everyone thought that Mata was shooting directly, he passed the low ball directly to Li Qingshan's position.

Li Qingshan turned around, and then shot directly!!

"Ball!! The ball went in!!! The commentator was a little stunned, just now and the lightning, everyone didn't see how Manchester United sent the goal.

It wasn't until the Manchester United players hugged and celebrated their goal that the commentators reacted!

In the thirtieth minute, Manchester United scored their second goal of the game!

Two to zero!!
