Chapter 10: The debut of the league

Chapter 10 League debut

The first day of class was quite enjoyable for the two, and when Li Qingshan put the girl in Fernando's taxi, Li Qingshan was already looking forward to the second class. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info being able to be alone with a cute and beautiful girl for an hour or two, Li Qingshan of course feels very good.

It's just that the second class won't be available until the day after tomorrow.

Early the next morning, they set off for the city of Malaga, in the autonomous community of Andalusia in southern Spain, to play away against Malaga in the league.

This is Li Qingshan's first match since joining Atletico Madrid, and although it is only four days since the signing of the two parties, Simeone still placed Li Qingshan in the squad for the match.

Despite its poor reputation, Malaga has not been an underdog in the Spanish Serie A for the last two or three seasons.

They had the best La Liga finish in 2011/2012 and finished fourth in La Liga with 58 points at the end of that season, one place higher than Atletico Madrid.

Last year, in the 2012/2013 season, they finished sixth in the league with 57 points.

As a former lift team, Malaga have performed very well in La Liga for the past two years. Especially at their home stadium, even when Barcelona and Real Madrid came to the Rose Garden, they did not dare to take it lightly.

Simeone's intention to put Li Qingshan in the squad for the game is also obvious. Although Li Qingshan has only just joined the team, and he has just finished a season in Asia. But he's in very good physical condition and despite a long season, he's in good enough form to get him to play. Of course, Simeone will not put him in the starting lineup as soon as he comes up, but if Atletico Madrid can't play away from home, Li Qingshan will need to play a role as a high school striker.

It's been a season of chances for Madrid, who now sit second in the table on 49 points, along with Barcelona on second place on goal difference. This also means that they have a chance to lift the La Liga title again this season after 18 years.

In the ecological environment of La Liga, the gap between a game is almost like a moat. The strength of Barcelona and Real Madrid is almost crushing when it comes to other La Liga teams. If Atletico want to aim for the La Liga title, then they can't drop points against the middle and lower teams, otherwise, after being opened up by Barcelona and Real Mara, it will be basically impossible to recover it.

Simeone was cautious against Málaga at home, sending in his main line-up, with two main strikers, Diego Costa and Villa, starting the game.

Simeone's team is still in a 442 formation, goalkeeper Courtois, the central defenders are Miranda and Godin, the left wing-back Felipe Luiz, and Atletico Madrid's right wing-back this season has been played by Juan Fran, and the performance is not bad, it seems that Simeone has used Juan Fran as a regular right wing-back.

Due to the minor injuries of captain Gabi and Raul Garcia, and in order to cope with the upcoming busy schedule, Simeone made some changes in midfield, sending in 1994-born teenager Oliver Torres in midfield, and the other three midfielders are Alda Turan, Koke and Thiago.

And this game will also be broadcast live on CCTV, the reason is naturally because of Li Qingshan's Atletico Madrid. If there was no Li Qingshan, CCTV might not choose to broadcast such a La Liga match that does not have too many fans to pay attention to, they prefer to broadcast the Bundesliga, snooker, table tennis, curling, etc......

From the start of the game, Atletico Madrid had the advantage of the match. But their offense was a bit overwhelming. In particular, a couple of dangerous attacks were created from set-pieces. Centre-back Godin even had more shots on goal than Villa and Diego Costa.

The two Atletico Madrid starting strikers didn't get much of a chance in this game, perhaps because they didn't seem excited enough because they had just returned from vacation.

The first half ended with a 0-0 draw.

When the Atletico players returned to the dressing room, the camera swept to the substitutes of Atletico Madrid on the bench. The tall Li Qingshan is naturally quite conspicuous inside.

"Atletico Madrid's attack lacks a decisive word, Villa and Diego Costa are not in great shape today, and in the second half of the game, Simeone may give Li Qingshan a chance!" The CCTV commentator said.

In fact, that's exactly what Simone meone meant.

At the beginning of the second half, Li Qingshan got the opportunity to come on as a substitute. He replaced midfielder Oliver Torres.

Despite the preparations, when it came time to see Li Qingshan appear in La Liga so soon, Chinese fans still had a somewhat unreal feeling.

It's only his fourth day at Atletico. Normally, shouldn't there be a transition period for players who have just joined the team?

From this point of view, Simeone still seems to have a lot of trust in Li Qingshan! On the fourth day of Li Qingshan's joining the team, he got the opportunity to come on as a substitute!

Chinese fans are starting to struggle again.

has just joined the team, can Li Qingshan's condition be guaranteed?

Simeone gave Li Qingshan a chance, but what if he couldn't grasp it?

This is his first appearance, and if the first impression is not good, will it affect his status in Simeone's heart?

After all, most of the experiences of Chinese players in the five major leagues are not very successful, which also makes Chinese fans feel less confident about whether Li Qingshan can seize this opportunity to play as a substitute.

After Li Qingshan came on as a substitute, he replaced the next midfielder and replaced a striker. Simeone's intentions are clear, and he will continue to strengthen the attack!

Atletico Madrid can only accept one result in this match, and that is a victory. Even if this game is drawn, Atletico Madrid will most likely be distanced by Barcelona and then overtaken by Real Madrid behind them.

In this round, Barcelona played Elche at home, and Real Madrid met Vigo Celta at the Bernabeu, these two teams naturally could not pose any threat to the La Liga duo, and in this round, Real Madrid Barcelona's three points were basically stable.

And in Malaga, Atletico Madrid can't be said to be nine out of ten. If Atletico lose points in this round, it could be a turning point for the season!

After Li Qingshan came on the field, Atletico Madrid continued to strengthen the offensive.

In the 53rd minute, Li Qingshan received a header from Juanfran from the right side, and Malaga goalkeeper Caballero firmly held the ball into his arms!

"Atletico Madrid tried to shoot again, and the new signing Li Qingshan completed a header!" The Madrid commentator said, "Simeone switched on a striker and continued to put pressure on Malaga. ”

After this attack failed, Atletico Madrid quickly pressed back in front of the court to get the ball back.

Simeone's Atletico Madrid doesn't look like a Spanish team, compared to other La Liga teams who value control and passing, Atletico Madrid is very much about physical contact and hardness of the game, and their pressing up front often creates a lot of difficulties for their opponents.

And if the break is successful, the counterattack launched on the spot is very deadly.

Sure enough, in the 63rd minute of the game, Atletico Madrid successfully broke the ball in midfield, and Koke's forward pass found Diego Costa.

Then Costa didn't stop the ball and crossed the ball directly into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Li Qingshan had already gotten rid of the defense and jumped in the air.

"It's coming!!" The CCTV commentator said excitedly, "Li Qingshan!!!!!!! ”

"Header !!!!!!"

Li Qingshan, who jumped in the air, slammed the ball headlong into the gate of Malaga. Caballero was helpless for this close-range header!

"The ball went in !!"

"Li Qingshan's twentieth minute in the Spanish First Division! Relying on his trademark header, he scored his first goal for Atletico Madrid!! ”

Li Qingshan, who scored a goal, raised his arms, but the expression on his face was particularly calm.

It was just the most ordinary goal for him.

Atletico Madrid players rushed forward to celebrate with a hug and a hug with their new team-mates.

Simeone, on the other hand, raised his arms on the sidelines, his excitement overflowing. After this goal was scored, Atletico Madrid played much better in this game.

He actually took a certain risk by switching to a three-striker onslaught, but his adventure was successful!

He immediately made the same change, replacing the veteran Villa with midfielder Rodriguez. Readjust the formation back to 442.

After conceding the goal, Malaga was of course not willing to lose at home, and they also began to try to organize the attack. But Atletico Madrid is the best at breaking the ball and counter-attacking.

In the eighty-first minute of the game, after Godin broke the ball, he directly found the top of Li Qingshan's head with a long pass.

Li Qingshan's header is ferried to Diego Costa, who is cutting forward. Diego Costa led the ball straight into the penalty area and scored a one-on-one goal!

Two to zero!

After Li Qingshan came on the field, Atletico Madrid's attack was completely revitalized.

He and Diego Costa exchanged shots, which also opened Simeone's eyes to the possibility of a new attacking combination. After all, Villa's age is not enough, and in a high-density schedule, the veteran's fitness may not be able to support all the games.

In the end, Atletico Madrid won 2-0 away. Eighteen rounds later, Atletico Madrid jumped to the top of the standings with 49 points, three points ahead of Barcelona with one more game and eight points ahead of city rivals Real Madrid.
