Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 158 Successful planning (please collect!)

Only 20 minutes into the first half, Wen Zhihao felt that his physical fitness had dropped sharply, and he rarely felt powerless.On the one hand, he runs frequently up and down, and in order to connect the team more effectively and improve effective ball control as much as possible, in most cases it is a short-distance sprint of about 20 meters.I can persist once or twice, but continuous sprinting for a long time puts extremely strict requirements on Wen Zhihao's continuous physical explosiveness and anaerobic running.

Wen Zhihao is still at the age of physical development. In the past year, his height has grown by another three centimeters, reaching 1.7 meters six. At the same time, his weight has also increased by five kilograms, and the load on his body has increased during running.On the field, the opponent's central defender Klavan and midfielder Henderson bullied people directly with their bodies. Wen Zhihao had to use most of his physical energy on running and physical confrontation. When he really made a crucial pass, he was like a car with insufficient fuel supply.

In short, the situation on the field is that Atletico Madrid has done nothing in offense so far. The rare opportunity is the breakthrough of Gaitan and Carrasco on the wing using their personal abilities, but Liverpool quickly made up for this point.

Although there are not many opportunities for Liverpool to threaten goalkeeper Moya on the offensive end, most of them are due to the overall defense, and Atletico Madrid fans are worried.

After all, defense is not a long-term solution. You can defend for a while, but you can't defend the whole game. Only offense can win the game.

Klopp obviously knows this better.During the Dortmund period, he advocated offensive football and brought the Hornets two consecutive league championships and the 2013 Champions League runner-up. The 2011-2012 season was a league and cup double.In the two consecutive championship seasons, Dortmund scored more than two goals per game, topping the Bundesliga.

Although Simeone has made Atletico Madrid's defense a very aggressive art, as far as this game is concerned, there is a danger of being pierced at any time.

Taking advantage of the opponent's back hook foul, Wen Zhihao lay down directly on the ground, not only buying himself a breathing opportunity to recover his physical strength, but also disrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm.

Simeone was nervous at first, and stood up from his seat. When he saw Wen Zhihao waving his hand to the sidelines to refuse the team doctor to enter the field, he flashed a smile and sat down.

With a strong ability to read the game, Simeone saw a valuable advantage of Wen Zhihao.He is very curious, young people of this age can not be disturbed by difficult situations, and can still make actions that are beneficial to the whole team. Is it due to rich experience or talent?

Wen Zhihao's injury caused the game to be suspended. Basically, all the players felt the location of the injury. Thomas, who had always been bad-tempered, and the "culprit" Henderson spat at each other. As a black man, his bulging eyes and glaring appearance were still very intimidating. Henderson didn't even dare to express his anger.

While Wen Zhihao was lying on the ground, various images flashed through his mind like a movie. He was thinking about how to pass the ball to the striker to create a threat.

"Kevin, we have to think of a way. Keeping 40 meters away from the goal is not an option." Wen Zhihao said to Gameiro.

Gameiro couldn't catch the ball for a long time, and was very dissatisfied with waiting for the ball in front. He immediately agreed: "What do you want to do?"

"This... I can't tell you yet, but after a while you will stand near the penalty area between the full-back and the central defender, ready to run in at any time."

Gameiro gave Wen Zhihao a skeptical look, but he didn't care about Wen Zhihao, a newcomer, assigning him tasks, after all, they were all for the team.He just didn't know what Wen Zhihao was going to do.In his previous state, even if he did what he said, could he put the ball at his feet?
Gameiro was not sure, but nodded slightly.There is no other way for the time being, it is better to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, maybe trust him once, it will really work.

In fact, it’s not Wen Zhihao’s intentional trickery. He doesn’t know Spanish yet, nor can he speak Gameiro’s native French.

If you can speak Spanish, you won't have these problems.Wen Zhihao feels that in order to truly become a member of Atletico Madrid and let everyone accept him from the bottom of their hearts, the language barrier is a problem that must be solved immediately, and it has already affected the communication on the field.

On the contrary, He Wei was very interested in the scene of Gameiro nodding: "It seems that Wen Zhihao and Atletico Madrid have integrated well. If you want to integrate into such a giant, you have to express yourself like a salesman. Wen Zhihao's performance is an inspiration for players who aspire to study abroad. It is not enough to gain a foothold in another environment with good skills."

After the game resumed, Wen Zhihao took advantage of the precious possession of the ball to choose a smarter way of playing, deliberately slowing down his running rhythm, and sometimes even came to the center circle to seek short passes, seemingly without any desire to attack.

Atlético Madrid fans were a little dissatisfied with the team's attitude. The Liverpool players were a little confused seeing Wen Zhihao's sudden retreat so deep, and were hesitating whether to fight back close to him.I am worried that if it is unsuccessful, Atletico Madrid will launch a signature counterattack.

Klopp on the sidelines seemed very anxious. The team had many good opportunities to score goals, so they should strike while the iron is hot. Atletico Madrid must not let Atletico Madrid successfully consume the remaining time.He waved his arms and directed the midfield to start pressing.

Wen Zhihao saw that the opponent had the intention to come up to press, and the rhythm of his feet suddenly accelerated. He pulled the ball with his right foot and changed direction to directly pass Henderson's tackle.The falling to the ground and the casual kick just now were actually a process of fighting mentally and recovering physical fitness.Obviously, Wen Zhihao guessed right.Liverpool really wanted to turn their advantage into a victory in the first half.

Wen Zhihao passed Henderson, and the fans of the two teams exclaimed at the same time.Simeone's eyes brightened slightly, looking forward to Wen Zhihao's next move.

And Klopp smelled something bad at this moment, and he regretted that his tactics were too aggressive.But that was the case, he could only yell at Klavan to approach Wen Zhihao to make up for Henderson's mistake.

Wen Zhihao was only two or three steps away from the penalty area. Facing the aggressive Klavan, who was more than ten centimeters taller than himself, Wen Zhihao lifted the ball lightly, and then connected the outer instep of his right foot very quickly, a connection movement that could only be captured in frame-by-frame replays.

Liverpool's defensive center of gravity was shifting to Wen Zhihao's side as a whole. This pass obviously caught them by surprise, and there was a big question mark in their hearts.

What did you pass on?
anyone there?

The ball just bounced at the front of the penalty area, and at the same time, a yellow figure clearly different from Liverpool's has appeared behind Liverpool's entire defense line.It was Gameiro.The Liverpool players were ecstatic, and the experienced Matip quickly raised his hand and looked at the linesman.

But to his desperation, the linesman just watched Gameiro's movement.

Onside!
Atlético fans cheered instantly, and Spanish commentator Garcia suddenly became emotional: "God! It's Wen from the downturn in the audience! An incredible pass!"

Wen Zhihao's pass and Gameiro's running direction highly overlapped, the ball arrived, and Gameiro still had time to glance at Mignolet, and made a push shot from a distance of less than five meters, which was beyond Mignolet's reach.

1:0!Atletico Madrid took the lead in an extremely passive situation!

The audience and the coaching staff were very excited. Simeone rushed to the sidelines and roared passionately. Gameiro came over immediately to thank Wen Zhihao: "Beautiful pass! Your suggestion is even more handsome. I haven't scored such a comfortable goal for a long time!"

Looking at the teammates who came up to celebrate one after another, Wen Zhihao forgot to be excited and was a little dazed that he helped his new teammates score so quickly.
