Chapter 612
This should have been an opportunity for Costa. Although Costa had failed miserably in challenging Lin Dong, as time went by, it proved Lin Dong's excellence.

But even so, Costa still did not give up, and even in his heart, he always regarded Lin Dong as a competitor, even though Lin Dong often took the initiative to play for him on the court.

Real Madrid's smoky and messy locker room last season was of great help to Lin Dong, especially letting Lin Dong know the importance of unity in the locker room.

After coming to Atletico Madrid, Lin Dong has always been very friendly and positive, which also allowed Lin Dong to integrate into Atletico Madrid as a whole faster, and even most of his teammates can now be called friends.

For Costa, Lin Dong naturally also has feelings, but as long as it helps the team, Lin Dong can bear it. Of course, the premise is that Costa can't go too far.

Unfortunately, some things, the more anxious you are and the more you want to prove yourself, the more often it will backfire. Costa has all kinds of examples in this game.

From the beginning of the game, Costa was very active, even a little eager. This result disrupted the rhythm of Atletico Madrid. After all, he was not Lin Dong. Lin Dong supported Atletico Madrid in the frontcourt, but Costa couldn't do it.

Moreover, Lin Dong's grasp of timing, sense of attack, and when to do things are very clear. Costa, who is impatient, can never be so calm.

So Atletico Madrid wants to lose the ball. Losing Lin Dong, Atletico Madrid will immediately change to the Atletico Madrid team from last season. If Atletico Madrid follows the original rhythm, they may not lose the ball, but Costa disrupts Atletico Madrid's rhythm.

It was Brazilian center Hulk who scored the goal. Taking advantage of Atletico Madrid's offensive defeat, Zenit St. Petersburg made a quick counterattack. Hulk and Korzakov made a perfect cooperation. After two passes, Hulk broke the deadlock.

On the sidelines, Simeone's face was ashen, and he called Costa directly. At Atletico Madrid, Simeone's prestige was almost the same.

After teaching Costa, Simeone called Gabi over again, and then Atletico Madrid's rhythm on the field returned to normal, and Atletico Madrid, who had returned to the normal track, began to give up the right to attack.

In this regard, the head coach of Zenit St. Petersburg Spalletti smelled the taste of conspiracy, but on the court, the first goal gave the Zenit St. Petersburg players great confidence. The players have already won the right to attack.

Facts have proved that Atletico Madrid without Lin Dong is indeed more suitable for defensive counterattacks. No. 308 minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid equalized the score, and Miranda scored the goal.

A quick counterattack opportunity, although the shot was finally saved, but Atletico Madrid got a corner kick, and Atletico Madrid's goal came from this corner kick.

Cork sent the ball to the penalty area, Miranda jumped high, looked back at the moon, and threw a header to help Atletico Madrid chase the score to 1:1.

This is also Atletico Madrid's first Champions League goal after five years. Miranda himself has become the first central defender in the history of Atletico Madrid to score in the Champions League.

The 1:1 score was maintained until the end of the first half, but at the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid overtook the score. It was still a counterattack. Zenit St. Petersburg chose to foul this time and gave Atletico Madrid a free kick.

It was still Cork and Miranda, but this time Miranda's luck was not so good. The header hit the crossbar, then popped out of the penalty area and landed at Turan's feet.

The latter broke through a defensive player with the ball and broke into the penalty area, and then scored with a strong shot, helping Atletico Madrid rewrite the score to 2:1.

Unwilling to fail, Zenit St. Petersburg could only launch a stronger offense, but unfortunately this result caused them to concede another goal.

The teenager Leo ushered in the brightest moment of joining Atletico Madrid. Leo, who had just come off the bench, scored the goal. Atletico Madrid counterattacked. Turan sent an exquisite pass over the top.

3:1, this is the score of Atletico Madrid's first game back to the Champions League after 5 years. Although the start was not smooth, the result was perfect. Atletico Madrid started this season's Champions League journey with victory.

However, the media did not want Atletico Madrid to have a good mood, especially those media close to Barcelona and Real Madrid, such as "Mundo Deportivo" and "Aspen".

In their mouth, Atletico Madrid's victory is only because of good luck, and Atletico Madrid has been away from the Champions League for too long, so that the opponents are not familiar with Atletico Madrid.

Of course, they didn't forget that Lin Dong's suspension was a fuss. In their mouth, Atletico Madrid has already replaced Lin Dong's dependence. With Lin Dong and without Lin Dong, they are completely two teams.

In this regard, Simeone naturally wants to refute that some things cannot be admitted even if they are facts, which will be detrimental to the development and unity of the team.

Besides, Barcelona and Real Madrid also have the so-called dependence. Barcelona relies on Messi, and Real Madrid relies on Ronaldo. With these two people and without these two people, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also two teams.

After the rebuttal, Atletico Madrid ignored these things from the outside world and began to concentrate on preparing for the league. From the fifth round to the international match day in October, Atletico Madrid played double matches a week.

Although the schedule is tense, the opponents are still very good. The two opponents before the national derby are not strong. The opponent in the fifth round is Valladolid, and the opponent in the sixth round is Osasuna.

These two teams are relegation teams. Valladolid currently has 4 points after four rounds, which is not bad. Osasuna is a bit miserable. At present, the only team in La Liga that has no points.

However, when facing Atletico Madrid, it was really worse than losing to Valladolid. Because of the midweek suspension of the Champions League, Lin Dong could only vent all his frustration and energy on Valladolid.

So it was a tragedy for Valladolid. In just 3 minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid scored. The scorer was naturally Lin Dong. With a powerful header, Lin Dong also extended the team's first goal to the fifth game.

Two minutes later, it was the first wave of Atletico Madrid's attack after the game restarted. The score on the field changed again. It was still Lin Dong.

Lin Dong's third hat-trick of the season came as scheduled, and it was a hat-trick within 10 minutes, which was even more exaggerated than the first round of the league.

In the 9th minute of the game, Valladolid lost the third goal since the start of the game. This time it turned into a tackle. Felipe made a cross from the side. Lin Dong in the penalty area shook off the defender and scooped the ball into the opponent's goal before the goalkeeper.

Massacre, it can be predicted that this will be a massacre of bare fruits.
