Chapter 670

Valencia's previous record against Atletico Madrid was very impressive, with 3 wins and 7 draws. In the last ten matches, Valencia remains unbeaten, so psychologically, Valencia has an absolute advantage.

However, this advantage is actually useless in the eyes of many people. After all, Atletico Madrid's performance this season is obvious to all, and even Real Madrid's embarrassing record of winning for more than ten years has been broken.

Speaking of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will be in a good mood at the moment, because Real Madrid has fallen behind again, and they are actually with themselves.

Osasuna tied in the relegation zone.

At the Calderón Stadium, the players of Atletico Madrid and Valencia have stood still, and the main players of Atletico Madrid have fully returned. In the past week, the main players of Atletico Madrid also said that they have been fully rested.

With the whistle of the referee, the penultimate game before the winter break officially kicked off. Costa passed back, the ball came to Gabi's feet, and the Atletico Madrid captain took two steps forward to cross Thiago.

Gabi's partner in this game is the veteran Thiago. Currently, Atletico Madrid is not fixed in this position. At the beginning of the season, Cork will be rotated, but as the season progresses, Cork used his wonderful performance to secure himself in the starting lineup.

Thiago gave them to Cork respectively. Cork took a few steps and was intercepted by Romeu and passed back to Juanfran, who was plugging in.

Lin Dong didn't choose to pass the ball, and stopped the ball with his chest. When the ball fell, he immediately tapped his heel, then turned around and forced the defender away.

However, Valencia's central defender was decisive and brought Lin Dong down directly. Perhaps because the game had just started, the referee did not draw a card, but just gave Atletico Madrid a set kick.

Atletico Madrid seemed very dissatisfied with this judgment. The players were still restrained. If they got a card because of this, the gain would not be worth the loss, but the fans did not have so many scruples. The first time Atletico Madrid booed was dedicated to the referee.

Gabi sent the ball out of Valencia's penalty area, Lin Dong competed for the first spot, slammed the ball with a header, and the ball was slightly higher, Atletico Madrid's first wave of attack officially ended.

Atletico Madrid wanted to end their invincibility against Valencia, so they played aggressively in the opening game. On the contrary, Valencia was more cautious. Whether it is this season's record or the strength of the team, Valencia is obviously inferior to Atletico Madrid. Therefore, Valencia's head coach Dukic chose a tactic in this game based on defense and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Now that the season has progressed, La Liga teams have a new understanding of Atletico Madrid and Lin Dong. Lin Dong's terrifying scoring rate makes all opponents feel scared.

In the end, Valencia's attack ended at Cork's feet. After nearly 2 minutes of passing, the ball came to Figuri's feet. The latter wanted to break through with the ball on the wing, but Cork intercepted the ball from behind him.

Atlético immediately launched a counterattack, Cork crossed Gabi, who sent another kick to Turan, who took the ball and advanced along the wing, breaking through Guardado.

Although Guardado's defensive ability is not very good, he is very fast. This is what Turan lacks, so Turan did not continue to dribble the ball to the bottom, but directly sent it into the penalty area.

"Lin Dong~~~ header~~~ missed the goal" Although both Lin Dong and Costa were in the Valencia penalty area, Turan's first pass must be Lin Dong.

After landing, Lin Dong took a deep look at Ruiz. Ruiz didn't even jump for the header. Because of this, Lin Dong missed the top, because Ruiz aimed directly at Lin Dong's waist.

Small movements of defensive players on the court are definitely inevitable, and some players not only have small movements in their hands, but also have no gatekeepers on their mouths. The most famous of them is Zidane's top in 06.

The game continued quickly, and Valencia finally ushered in the first kick of the game, although it was not within the range of the goal frame.

With the shot from Jonas, the former Real Madrid player Canales sent a beautiful through ball with a flying shovel. The feint moved Gabi half of his body and then went straight into the penalty area.

It's a pity that Jonas is not strong enough, and he barely shot the goal under the defense of his compatriot Miranda. The ball was too far above the goal and flew directly to the back row of stands.

Valencia's tactics in this game are defensive counterattacks, so Jonas, who is the fastest on the front line, and three and two players with good skills behind him, increase the ability to control the ball and kill time.

The Atletico Madrid company is still the same, with two consecutive long-range shots, Turan moves sideways, Felipe inserts and crosses, Turan's long-range shot goes high from outside the penalty area.

Two minutes later, Cork also shot a long shot. Lin Dong passed back, and Cork stepped in and shot furiously. Unfortunately, he hit the defender and changed the flight trajectory.

No. In the 206th minute, Atletico Madrid ushered in the best opening opportunity. Costa received a pass in the penalty area for the first time and did not shoot himself, and made a ball for Lin Dong.

It's a pity that Lin Dong failed Costa this time. He failed to score the goal with almost no one defending him.

Valencia quickly counterattacked and the ball landed at the feet of Figuri, who passed it diagonally to Jonas. Jonas took the ball and attacked the Atletico Madrid penalty area, but failed to pass Miranda in the end.

Speaking of which, Jonas and Miranda can be regarded as old rivals. The two played against each other many times when they were in Brazil, and they also played front and back when they entered La Liga.

No. 303 minutes, Lin Dong missed the header again, and it was still Ruiz. This guy still gave Lin Dong a bad look. However, it was only three things. When Ruiz faced the penalty area for the third time, this guy finally got what he deserved.

With a yellow card and a penalty kick, Lin Dong didn't take off this time. He waited for the ball to land, stopped in his chest, and was about to forcibly turn around. In desperation, Ruiz directly brought Lin Dong down.

Although there is no red card, the penalty kick still satisfied Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid fans cheered even more. So far this season, as long as Atletico Madrid scores the first goal, the victory of this game will be stable.

However, the Atletico Madrid players were obviously happy too early, because the penalty kick failed to help Atletico Madrid break the deadlock on the court. Costa kicked the penalty kick away again. This is the third time Costa kicked the penalty kick away this season.

"Should we change people?" Assistant coach Boggs couldn't help but suggested to Simeone after seeing Costa kicked the penalty kick away again on the sidelines.

Although Simeone didn't answer, he was indeed thinking about this question in his heart. Half of the season has not passed, but Costa has missed three free throws. This is no longer a matter of luck.

It is not that there are no players in the Atletico Madrid team who can take penalty kicks. Both Gabi and Miranda have good penalty kick skills, and the psychological quality of these two is better than Costa.
