Chapter 243
Simeone sighed.Captain Gabi's suspension still has a certain impact on Atletico Madrid's midfield. Thiago is not as good as Gabi in terms of defensive toughness and enthusiasm for returning to defense.

He simply made the decision to make a substitution, replacing Adrian with Raul Garcia, who has a stronger defensive ability, and let Raul Garcia bring his latest instructions: now the total score is 4:3 , We are still leading by 1 goal, so don't panic.When it is time to counterattack, you must be resolute and be willing to invest your troops. In front of a team with extraordinary offensive power like Paris Saint-Germain, pure defense is tantamount to suicide.

Blanco was also forced to make a substitution decision.After Cavani's header hit the goal just now, he collided with Felipe.Although he got up quickly and celebrated the goal with Shi Hao, after the celebration, he found that his thigh muscles were a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't continue the game.

Blanco had to replace Cavani with Lucas Jr. Seeing this substitution, the Paris Saint-Germain fans let out a sigh.

Although Lucas Jr. is very talented, he has not really proved himself. At this critical moment, he is obviously not as reassuring as Cavani.

Time passed quickly in Paris Saint-Germain's mad attack.

In the 72nd minute, Atletico Madrid almost overtook the score again.

At that time, Lucas broke through with the ball and was intercepted by Felipe and Mario Suarez. Suarez hit the ball in the middle and handed it to Raul Garcia.Raul Garcia quickly shifted the ball to the right. After a one-two with Juanfran, Cork dribbled the ball to the center, and then passed the ball to the right after passing the center circle.

Juanfran sprinted with the ball, and when it was parallel to the penalty area line, he suddenly kicked a pass. Diego Costa missed the ball at the first point, and Arda Turan swooped at the second point to grab the ball. Ratti had headed the ball earlier, and his header bounced hard off the crossbar.

Arda Turan reacted very quickly. He got up quickly and swept his left foot at the bouncing football. Due to the non-standard movement, the shot was soft and the speed of the ball was not fast.

But at this moment, Sirigu had already fallen to the ground because of the previous save. At this time, he was scrambling to save him, but he was beyond his reach.

Everyone can only watch the football slowly roll towards the goal.Just as the football was about to roll into the goal, a foot flicked the ball, the football changed direction and rolled out of the baseline, and the owner of that foot slid into the goal, hitting the goal post heavily with his upper body.

There was overwhelming applause for the hero who saved the team.

"Juanfran crossed, the first point missed, Arda Turan headed the ball! Hit the crossbar and popped out, hit again! The ball is there! Hey, the Paris Saint-Germain player almost made a clearance on the goal line! It’s dangerous! It’s Shi Hao, Shi Hao chased him back, and destroyed the football on the goal line, a corner kick. He hit the goal post by himself, and he hasn’t gotten up yet, it looks like he’s seriously injured!”

The referee ran over to check on Shi Hao's injury, and signaled for Paris Saint-Germain's team doctor to enter the field.

Seeing Shi Hao curled up in the goal in pain, the Paris fans felt their hearts in their throats. If they lost Shi Hao at this time, the Paris team could be said to have lost their last hope of reaching the final.

When Shi Hao was receiving treatment outside the court, Duan Wenxuan sighed and said: "I have almost never seen a shot of Shi Hao rushing 80 meters back to defend."

Zhang Lu said with a smile: "After all, it is the semi-final of the Champions Cup. For a Chinese player who cannot participate in the World Cup this year, this is his most important game in a few years. No matter how lazy he is, he is unwilling to defend. Time is beyond his control.”

Blanco rushed over nervously and asked, "Where is the injury?"

Shi Hao was so painful that he couldn't speak, he just pointed to his chest.

"It may have hit a rib," said the team doctor.

Blanco couldn't help being nervous.Everyone understands the importance of Shi Hao to Paris Saint-Germain. There are two irreplaceable people in this team: Ibrahimovic and Shi Hao.Without which one, we cannot get to where we are today.If Shi Hao collapsed at this time, I am afraid that the team's road to the Champions League this season will come to an abrupt end.

Shi Hao's mother, Chen Shuxian, was also terrified in front of the TV: "How hard was it hit? He is stupid, he also hit it, this child is really, will he be okay?"

Shi Zhonghua pretended to be relaxed and said: "He is a professional player. Of course he has to chase this kind of ball with all his strength, and he will not consider whether he will be injured. Don't worry, I think he should be fine."

Liu Xiyu in the stands also covered her mouth, terribly worried.Fans who recognized her next to her reached out and patted her on the shoulder to express comfort.

Fortunately, Shi Hao's injury didn't seem to affect the game. He quickly stood up and signaled to return to the game. Blanco breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Hao stood on the sidelines, asked the referee for instructions, and then slowly ran into the court.Only he himself knew how badly he was hurt just now.When he was on the stretcher, he had quickly entered the dreamer system and exchanged for an advanced healing potion, which could speed up the recovery of injuries by one month.

But after using it, he found that although the pain in his chest was not so severe, he still couldn't move, and it hurt even to take a deep breath.

Since the cheating system doesn't allow two doses of healing potions to be used consecutively, in the end he had to exchange for another mid-level painkiller potion before he could barely enter the game.

Seeing Shi Hao's reappearance, the fans at the scene gave him applause.

Time is running out, and Paris Saint-Germain, who are more and more eager to score goals, made another mistake in the defense. Felipe assisted in the counterattack, and two people shot from the edge of the penalty area. Fortunately, Siligu was in position Well, save the ball over the baseline.

"Stay steady, it will be over if they score another goal!" Captain Thiago Silva shouted loudly.

But the team's anxiety has not been alleviated.This is the second time in many years that Paris Saint-Germain has entered the Champions League. They really lack the experience of the Champions League. They don't know how to play if they are ahead, and they don't know how to play when they are behind.In fact, if it weren't for the extraordinary performances of Shi Hao, Ibrahimovic and others, they might stop in the top 16 again, or reach the top 8 at most.

In a tense semi-final, they showed their true colors, being forced out of all their weaknesses by Atletico Madrid.

In the next ten minutes of the game, although Paris Saint-Germain was attacking and Atletico Madrid was defending, it seemed that the offensive side was being led by the nose instead.

Atletico Madrid's situation may seem dangerous, but in fact everything is under control.Paris Saint-Germain completed 4 shots in these ten minutes, but only 1 shot on target!
Both Lavezzi and Lucas Jr. did nothing and failed to change the game as Blanco expected.When it comes to the threat to Atletico Madrid, only Ibrahimovic and Shi Hao can truly threaten Atletico Madrid's goal.

However, since Shi Hao was injured and carried off the field on a stretcher, his state has obviously declined since his reappearance.He knew his own suffering: Although the pain was relieved with intermediate painkillers, his breathing was still not smooth, and his physical energy consumption was also huge.

But he still ran tirelessly.As long as he doesn't give up, there must be another chance, he firmly believes.
