Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 155 5 minutes, the first show in history
Watching the sudden change on the field, Wen Zhihao whispered to Thomas Garner on the bench.

The hearts of the Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the live broadcast sank again. There was one less player on the back line. Except for some Atletico Madrid fans who were worried about the outcome of the game, more fans thought that Wen Zhihao's debut might be postponed.

10 against 11, unless Simeone doesn't care about the result of this game, he will definitely be inclined to trust an absolute main force like Griezmann.

After Savage was sent off, Simeone replaced Carrasco on the left with Uruguayan central defender Jose Jimenez, and the right midfielder Koke leaned slightly to the center to form a three-midfield position.

However, Callejon, who got an excellent chance to score, did not grasp the penalty he created. He chose a half-high shot that was not fast enough and not sharp enough. Oblak judged accurately and flew to the left to block the ball.

Simeone stood on the sidelines. After seeing Oblak's brave performance, he breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxed a bit, and he walked back to the coach's bench and continued to sit and watch the game, thinking about the deployment of the second half.

He Wei and the Chinese fans are equally excited, because of Wen Zhihao, Atletico Madrid is already the home team in the minds of most fans.

The few minutes after a missed penalty kick is often a period of ebb and flow. The morale of the side that survived the catastrophe will be boosted. Torres and Griezmann have made several shots that are extremely threatening. However, Reina, who guards the goal of Naples on the opposite side, was once Spain's second national goal.

The confrontation between the two sides in the first half did show the nature of a commercial game.The defensive end did not show its peak state, and the game scene was generally open, especially the continuous rapid offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides in the last few minutes set off a continuous climax in the stands.

The only fly in the ointment is the 0:0 score on the scoreboard, which is different from the script of the goal battle that everyone expected.

He Wei commented: "Such a half-time score should not be surprising. Although Simeone is a man of temperament, he has always treated the game seriously and meticulously. The magnificence on the scoreboard is obviously not his pursuit."

In the midfield lounge, Simeone was very satisfied with the attitude of the players on the field, and at the same time encouraged the players to make up for the disadvantage in numbers by running more actively.After saying this, he suddenly raised his voice, and the high-pitched voice resounded through the locker room: "I want every one of you, even if you are sitting on the bench, to fully devote yourself to the game! In this kind of game, everyone sitting here has the opportunity to express themselves."

The bench players suddenly became serious, and they stopped joking and joking, and they could tell that their brains were not bad. The head coach was talking about his group.

Wen Zhihao, who was drinking water, stopped his movements. From Simeone's words, he heard that he would definitely usher in his Atletico Madrid debut in Munich.Even if it is not this time, there is a chance for the next game.

Wen Zhihao hurriedly moved to Gabi's side, wanting to ask for some advice, Gabi pouted at Griezmann on the other end, and said to Wen Zhihao, "You should get on good terms with Anthony. Whether you can play or not depends on his state of mind, otherwise I can't help."

Wen Zhihao touched his nose in embarrassment.I really want to have a good relationship with him, but he doesn't care about me at all.

Up to now, Wen Zhihao still doesn’t know why Griezmann treats him like that. In private, he has also observed that in front of Torres and Gabi, Griezmann is a very cheerful and talkative person. Wen Zhihao remembered an old saying that birds of a feather flock together.

Maybe people disdain to talk to me because they are still rookies after all, and they can't join the circle of friends of these big names, just like there won't be a nine-to-five office worker in the circle of the rich.

It seems that if you want to get closer to Griezmann, you have to show your own strength.

Still getting stronger!

Wen Zhihao didn't know that his decision at this moment posed the biggest problem for Simeone this season.

……

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Naples relied on the opportunity of kick-off to get the ball and suddenly accelerated their offensive rhythm, continuously putting pressure on Atletico Madrid's defense. Jimenez's mobility was obviously inferior to that of the main central defender Savage, and Atletico Madrid's defense gradually gave the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Simeone just wanted to call the left back Felipe to retract properly to help Jimenez strengthen his protection, but he was still a step behind the opponent.

In 6 minutes, Callejon, who missed a penalty kick in the first half, made up for it. After receiving a cross from Brazilian midfielder Alan, Atletico Madrid's two central defenders all concentrated in the middle to double-team Mertens.Facing the engrossed Oblak, Callejon kept the ball and volleyed with his right foot. This choice was somewhat beyond Oblak's expectations. When Callejon swung his leg to complete the shot, it was too late to make a save. Oblak could only use his eyes to do his defensive responsibility, watching the ball fly into the upper corner of the right-hand goal.

The moment the ball was lost, the camera zoomed to the sidelines. Simeone was communicating with Boggs in a low voice. He didn't seem particularly excited, and he still seemed confident.

He Wei reminded Simeone "in good faith": "Atletico Madrid has no other choice at this time. If Simeone wants to win, should he consider making adjustments to strengthen his offense?"

The Chinese fans also have the same aspirations, they only hope that Wen Zhihao can get the chance sooner.

But the second card played by Simeone was Vietto, replacing Cork.Strengthen the striker and weaken the midfield.

It seems that Simeone's last fight is over, but with Atletico Madrid's two set-piece opportunities, Torres and Vietto reversed the 0:1 disadvantage to 2:1 in an instant.

It was already 76 minutes when Vietto scored the go-ahead goal. Simeone kept looking at his watch, pinching the time and using the last substitution.

In the first game of the new season, the physical condition of the main players was not at its best. Atletico Madrid players deliberately wanted to win the game at the least cost after overtaking. The most obvious signal was that Griezmann's running frequency in the frontcourt was significantly slowed down.

Simeone looked back at the bench again. There was still 1 minute of regular time, and the fourth official was ready to raise the stoppage time sign.

Simeone felt the time had come for a substitution.

……

"Oh, we finally waited for this moment! Wen Zhihao replaced Griezmann, and there was 5 minutes of stoppage time. Although there is not much time, this is the historical debut of a Chinese player in the first team of Atletico Madrid. Congratulations!"

He Wei stated excitedly.

The on-site camera clearly recorded a detail at the moment of the substitution: when Griezmann and Wen Zhihao walked off the field face to face, there was no high-five or other movements, and they walked directly from Wen Zhihao to the bench.

Intriguing scene.

The media with a keen sense of smell has already thought about the headlines of the post-match news at the same time.
