Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 164
The scoreboard showed that the home team had a 2:0 lead, Girona's home fans burst into cheers, and the home team's red flag and logo became the protagonists of the stadium.

If you understand the experience of this newly promoted team in the previous seasons, you will understand the dreamy feeling in the hearts of the home team fans at this moment.Since 2013, Girona has been able to occupy the top two places for direct promotion in the second division most of the time every season, but it will always be squeezed out of the direct promotion zone by the opponents behind it at the last moment, and it will compete in the promotion play-offs for four consecutive seasons.And in the promotion play-offs, they failed four times tragically.Among them, in the 2014-15 season, he returned to the home court with a 3:0 lead in the away game and was reversed by Zaragoza with four goals.After four years of ups and downs, they finally won the runner-up in the second division last season, successfully entering La Liga for the first time in history.

The story of this small team's repeated defeats is inspirational enough, but I'm afraid their own fans, and even the players on the field, dare not think about it. In the first game of La Liga in the history of the team, the score became 2:0 in less than half an hour, and they are actually leading!
This can no longer be described as inspirational.It was an out-and-out counterattack of a short and poor dick.

Of course, the cheers of one side in a football game are based on the pain of the opponent. On the other side of the camera, Atletico Madrid's defensive superstar and Simeone are full of annoyance.

The Spanish national TV commentator Garcia watched Simeone turned his back to scratch his head in the camera, and couldn't help warning: "Diego Simeone must end this meaningless negative emotion immediately. Now is the time for him to make a change. Otherwise, Girona extends the lead to three goals. Even if God himself plays, it will be difficult to change the result."

CCTV's He Wei's point of view is more clear: "Atletico Madrid unexpectedly fell into an extreme predicament. What else should Simeone consider at this time? Strengthening the offense is the only way out. Correa, Vietto and Wen Zhihao are all good choices on the bench. Of course, I believe that the audience friends hope Wen Zhihao can get a chance as much as I do."

Xu Yang supplemented his analysis from a tactical point of view: "Wen Zhihao's characteristics are indeed more suitable than both Correa and Vietto. He has a wide range of activities in the frontcourt and can shoot suddenly, which can liberate Torres and Griezmann. For Simeone, it is not whether he is willing to take risks, but whether he will collapse if he does not change Atletico Madrid."

Wen Zhihao looked at the situation on the field, while chatting with Gameiro about the situation on the field, at the same time his body tensed up unconsciously.Not only was he nervous for the team, but he also knew in his heart that under such a situation, it was entirely possible for him to play.Must be ready at any time, waiting for Simeone's call.

Seeing the opponent continue to attack with the vigor of chasing after the victory, Wen Zhihao gradually couldn't sit still, and began to stand in front of the bench and stomp his feet to keep his body warm.

Boggs quietly suggested to Simeone: "Diego, do you want to let Wen go up and try? We have to try to get a ball back in the first half, and it has been half an hour now."

Simeone made a downward movement with one hand, signaling his assistant to stabilize his emotions. Obviously he did not intend to change at this time.He still hopes that Griezmann, who has repeatedly exploded at critical moments, will find his feeling as soon as possible. This starting lineup is also his handy main lineup last season. He does not want to deny himself so quickly.

The Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game looked at the score, but they were happy in their hearts, and they kept shouting: Shang Zhihao!Come on Zhihao!
Seeing his son warming up in front of the bench, Father Wen thought several times that Wen Zhihao was about to go, but after a while, he saw his son sitting back on the bench, and couldn't help cursing: "Damn! Is your brain trapped by the door? Don't go to my son yet, waiting for a tragedy!"

After talking, Dad Wen lit a cigarette, not sure if it was to refresh his mind or ease the anxiety of waiting in his heart.

Girona's home court can only accommodate more than 1 fans, but such a small stadium can reflect the cheering momentum of the fans without any discount.In football matches, the score and momentum often complement each other. Atletico Madrid's score is behind, and the momentum is completely overwhelmed by the home team.No matter how exaggerated movements and expressions Simeone makes on the sidelines, it will not help unless there is a change in the score that is beneficial to Atletico Madrid.

Many commentators will ideally let the trailing side forget the result and start from scratch during the game.It is impossible for a real professional player to do it on the court.Professional football and even competitive sports itself is a game of winners and losers.As long as they can win, players and coaches will receive overwhelming praise, even if it is a bus with an iron bucket, it will be considered a new trend in world football.And the losing side, even if they play as gorgeously as Samba football, will only be considered as flashy by the coach's tactics or the way the players play.

Closer to home.In the first half of the game, Girona was both unexpected and reasonable. It was better than Atletico Madrid in all statistics. The number of shots was 9:3, and the possession rate was 52% to 48%.Judging from the data alone, it seems that there will be an illusion, as if Atletico Madrid is the newly promoted polo team.

In the half-time lounge, Simeone did not lose his temper with the players. He was still suppressing his anger and arranging tactics. He just repeatedly emphasized to everyone when he encouraged everyone: "Our goal is the championship! The championship! Go and get back the dignity you left on the field!"

In front of everyone, Simeone squeezed a mineral water bottle full of water abruptly, and everyone tensed up in unison. It seemed that the boss was really angry.

Atletico Madrid players were all eager to make contributions, and they violently attacked the opponent's defense line at the beginning of the second half.But haste makes waste. Not only the defensive players must maintain a stable mentality on the court, but the forwards who are too anxious may also turn against the team.

Only 10 minutes into the second half, Griezmann received a long pass from midfielder Gabi and entered the penalty area. At the same time as the opponent's goalkeeper attacked, Griezmann suddenly collided and fell to the ground.There was a burst of boos at the scene, and Atletico Madrid players raised their hands to signal the opponent's goalkeeper to foul.

The referee ran into the penalty area, reached into his pocket and took out a yellow card, but it was not to the Girona goalkeeper, but to Griezmann!
Flip!

What's more terrible is that Griezmann had a yellow card on his back in the first half, that is to say, waiting for him will be two yellows and one red, and he will be sent off!
Two goals behind and one less player, and the one who was sent off was still the core of the offense, which undoubtedly made things worse for Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid was really bad tonight.

"This is God's punishment. Diego Simeone wasted the opportunity to adjust in time, and now the situation in front of him is even more difficult to solve. Atletico Madrid needs to score now, but Griezmann was sent off. What a disaster!"

He Wei stood in favor of Wen Zhihao and said: "Now Simeone can't do without making adjustments. Will Wen Zhihao have a chance? Judging from the previous pre-season warm-up, he is Griezmann's first choice as a substitute."

The camera is shown on the sidelines, Boggs walked around the bench, and then Wen Zhihao, Vietto, Correa and Gameiro stood up to warm up at the same time, and Simeone showed an obvious signal to attack.
