Chapter Forty-Eight: This Is Flowing Water

Atletico Madrid's manager, players and fans are hoping it was a coincidence. ◎◎

Pacheco swears it must have been a coincidence.

But the victorious Lazio gave them a glimpse of what it means to be on the offensive like a flood!

Atletico Madrid are desperately trying to hold their ground.

And the constant victory will not let them get their wish.

Next, Lazio's offensive came to Atletico Madrid in waves.

Let Atletico Madrid only have the ability to parry, and there is no counterattack at all.

They can only crouch down and hold their heads in their hands, and make sure that they don't get hit in the face.

What is to stabilize the position, what is waiting for the opportunity to counterattack...... I don't care about any of this!

Aguirre's eyes widened on the sidelines - he really felt that it was not Lazio that was hitting his team's backline, but a raging flood!

They came from all directions, constantly pounding the crumbling of Atletico Madrid.

If an Atletico Madrid player gets the ball, he is immediately surrounded by two or three Lazio players, and within five seconds, the ball changes hands!

Then came another round of offensives!

Lazio's attack felt suffocating.

It's so fast that the commentators can't gossip a few words, just keep reporting the names of the players who pass and receive the ball.

"Jose. Passarella! Ledesma! Modric ...... Barzaretti! Cavani ...... Gotze! ”

Handanovic handed the football to Belletti, who passed it to Motta in the middle, who passed it diagonally to the wing, and Gotze took the ball! He passed to Cavani...... Cavani shoots!! ”

'Luka Modric, Cavani, Modric, Gotze, Gotze...... Cavani ...... Cazorla!! ”

Commentary like this became the dominant way of commenting among commentators during this time.

Because you don't have time to say anything else except keep signing up.

Lazio's quick passing is dazzling!

They were even more shocked - the pass can still be passed so fast?! How did they do it? How do they know that when the ball is passed, their teammate will be there at the next spot?

Sometimes people even think that the Lazio players are passing the ball randomly, they just pass the football casually, and in fact no one can receive the ball at all!

But when the football is over, everyone is surprised to find that there is indeed a Lazio player there and receiving the ball.

No matter how hard Atletico Madrid's players press, they just can't do it faster than Lazio!

The director in charge of the live broadcast of the game saw this scene. He suddenly thought...... What would it look like if you were given a panorama from the air?

It just so happens that there is a camera position above the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

So he gave the command to switch to the top position.

Soon, everyone saw the scene from the air.

From the air, the Lazio players in blue jerseys are like blue flowing water, they are constantly flowing!

From the back to the front. From the side to the middle. and from the middle to the side.

Apart from goalkeeper Handanovic, you can't find a single Lazio player standing on the pitch when you look over.

What does it mean to go all out and defend it?

This picture gives everyone a good show, all offense and full defense!

When it came to attacking, all the Lazio players rushed up. It's like a rising tide.

When defending, all the Lazio players retreated, like a low tide.

It's like the tides of the sea, rising and falling.

It's like breathing, undulating.

But the most dazzling thing is the rhythm and rhythm of Lazio's attack.

It really seems to be running water. There is no hindrance in the fluidity, and if Atletico Madrid put up an obstacle in their attacking path, they will not stop, they will immediately pass the football away and the people will run away.

It's like flowing water meets a stone, go around!

So no matter how many stones Atletico Madrid uses to block Lazio's attack, Lazio can go around it like water.

Finally arrived at the embankment formed by Atletico Madrid.

It's a pity that this embankment is a tofu slag project, which is not tight enough, and there are always gaps and loopholes.

So the water met such a dam. will seep through the cracks and holes. At first, it was just a trickle, but as the pressure increased, eventually the levee burst and the flood erupted like a swift beast!

Instantly submerge the big rear of Atletico Madrid!

There are commentators who see such a game picture. I couldn't help but sigh: "It's really smooth, breathtaking!" Such an offensive ...... It's horrible! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Modric, who was holding the ball in the middle, on the screen, distributing the football to the wing.

Because Atletico Madrid's defense is concentrated in the middle.

At this time, the wing defense is very weak.

Gotze received the ball.

Atletico Madrid immediately shifted their defensive focus to the flank where Gotze was.

This is a dam that Atletico Madrid has built in the face of Lazio's attacking tide.

But their defence didn't stop Lazio's attack.

Gotze did not appear with a soccer ball. I don't know what to do, so I stop and look around.

He had just received the ball. Right-back Belletti had already rushed up from behind him.

So Gotze passed the football to Belletti.

After Belletti received the ball, the defenders of Atletico Madrid also focused their attention on Belletti.

Gotze is unnoticed for the time being.

The German youngster took the opportunity to move towards the middle.

Atletico Madrid defended heavily here, and Belletti didn't have a good way to break through.

So Belletti made a cross, but he pulled the ball back and passed it to another midfielder, Motta, who had come to the ribs to pick him up.

Then he continued to break through to the baseline, and stepped out of the posture of playing an over-the-top two-one-one with Motta.

In this way, Atletico Madrid's defensive focus must be on this side, and if they pull back, won't Belletti easily receive the ball and form a break or cross?

As a result, they neglect to defend elsewhere.

Motta passed the ball over the top.

But not to Belletti, but to the ribs!

Here, Gotze, who had just returned to the middle from the side, suddenly turned around and made a 90-degree right-angle turn! He went straight into the box from the ribs!

Atletico Madrid midfielder Maxi in the defensive. Rodriguez tried to jump up and head the ball out.

But he rose to the top.

The football fell from behind him.

Gotze raised his foot and hooked the ball off!

"Nice stop! Mario. Gotze! ”

The TV camera immediately cut to the main camera position in the center of the main grandstand and pushed the camera closer so that the audience could see more clearly!

In the shot, Mario. Gotze made a feint. Suddenly rushed to the bottom line.

Atletico Madrid's centre-back Ujfarusi was quick to follow up and was intent on a reasonable run to deflect Gotze, who didn't look strong, so he didn't have a direct chance to shoot.

But at the same time as his body was attached to Gotze, Gotze passed the football out!

A kick sweep!

The soccer ball rolled against the turf in front of the goal!

And this time. Atletico Madrid's defenders and goalkeepers are all focused on Gotze. Goalkeeper Franco moved to the front of the corner to block the near corner.

Behind him is ...... An empty door!

"Edison - Cavani - - !!" At the roar of the commentator, Cavani flicked his leg and the ball changed direction and refracted into the goal......

"Fifteenth minute! 3:0! Lazio is crazy!! ”

※※※

Götze, who was knocked to the ground by Ujfarusi, rolled backwards. He stood up again from the ground.

He cheered for the goal with open arms!

Cavani lunged at him and held him tightly in his arms.

The two didn't celebrate for long, though.

They immediately parted, just putting their arms around each other's shoulders and running back.

As for the football in the goal, Cazorla, who was originally ambushed at the back point, had already rushed in and fished it out as soon as possible.

The Lazio fans in the stands chanted and the Atletico Madrid players on the pitch were already dead......

It's only been 15 minutes since the start of the game!

It's already three goals down. How is this game going to be played?

※※※

"God...... Look at the slow motion of this goal just now...... This is a shot taken from the top of the air. It's so clear...... Lazio's goal path is too clear! Modric passes to Gotze, Gotze passes to Belletti who is inserted in the back, and then he starts to detour to the middle, Belletti passes the football to Motta, who comes up to pick up, and Motta passes directly over the top without stopping! Götze suddenly changed direction midway through the middle and cut into the box, attracting the attention of all the Atletico Madrid players, and then swept the ball down the middle. When Cavani shoots, he doesn't have a single Atletico Madrid player around him! Check out this slow-motion replay of the overhead shot...... This is Lazio's attack! Such an offense. No matter how tight Atletico Madrid's defense is, it will always find loopholes! ”

Careza was also stunned by Lazio's goal.

The main thing is that it happened to be an overhead shot, so the Lazio players' passing and running routes were very clear and clear at a glance, like a tactical demonstration on a moving tactical board......

He believes it wasn't a flash of inspiration from the Lazio players. This is certainly the result of their constant practice in their usual training.

Because every player plugs in the running pass at the right time.

If Götze's pass is delayed, when Belletti wants to sprint to the bottom line to create an illusion, there will not be so much room to sprint, and the impact on Atletico Madrid will be much smaller.

And if Belletti is going to force a breakthrough with the ball. The rest of the teammates are just decorations, and they don't have any effect at all.

If Motta doesn't pass the ball in the first place after getting it. Instead, look around, and the opponent may immediately press him up, forcing him to pass back, or move to the middle, and eventually turn into a lateral inversion. Only when he sends this through ball for the first time can he penetrate the defense of Atletico Madrid and give Gotze a chance to surprise!

Even if he was a fastidious perfectionist, he had to applaud the goal!

※※※

Aguirre stood on the sidelines, looking dumbfounded.

He no longer knew what to do or think.

The whole process of this goal was the process of Atletico Madrid's backline being played by Lazio and clapped.

In the process, the players of Atletico Madrid did not even rub the skin of the football!

It's a complete defeat!

And what made him fall into an ice cave was that only fifteen minutes into the game, Lazio had already scored three goals like crazy!

If it's luck, it's a coincidence...... Then their luck is too strong, right? This coincidence is too fake, isn't it? (To be continued......)
