Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 183 Atletico Madrid On The Right Track

According to the situation in the first half, Atletico Madrid would have been able to keep a draw. Even if Malaga took the lead at halftime, anyone who watched the live broadcast would not be surprised.But the leading party is Atletico Madrid, who did not perform well.The reason was just Wen Zhihao's personal stroke of genius.

Michelle Gonzalez regretted that he focused on studying Griezmann before the game. Although he also knew that Wen Zhihao scored a very beautiful goal in the Champions League, he didn't pay enough attention to it.After all, Griezmann is Atletico Madrid's number one weapon in attacking the city in recent seasons. It is clear at a glance who has the bigger goal between the European superstar and the La Liga rookie.

But football is so wonderful, the more neglected people can just send out a killer move that seals the throat with a sword.

Gonzalez regretted it in his heart, even if he explained to the players in the locker room, the goal might no longer exist.

The Atletico Madrid players seemed to have unloaded their burdens at once, and Malaga was still affected by the negative energy of the conceded goal. It was only in the last few minutes of the first half that the game finally met everyone's expectations, and Atletico Madrid finally appeared in a siege situation.

"Now we can see the effect of Wen Zhihao's goal. It is very likely that Atletico Madrid will score another goal before the end of the first half to seal the victory. Wen Zhihao's first goal of the world wave seems to have opened up Atletico Madrid's previously blocked second channel."

He Wei praised Wen Zhihao's performance without any scruples, this was his true inner thoughts.

During the intermission, Simeone reminded the players to stay focused. The state of wanting to eat the opponent in the first half of the first half cannot be had.At the same time, it is warned to be alert to the opponent's counterattack in the second half.A team that suffers a losing streak tends to be in two states, either it is simply bad and broke in the first half of the season, or it will rebound fiercely when it bottoms out, bursting out with a strong desire and determination to win.After all, Malaga was once a top eight team in the UEFA Champions League. The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, so it is impossible to just dawdle on the court like this.

Simeone's complexion was not very good. He was hardly satisfied with the performance of most of the players in the first half. He only looked relieved when he looked at Wen Zhihao. Fortunately, there was such a reliable rotation player.

In the second half, Atletico Madrid did not change their style of play because of the change in the score.It is not Simeone's style to expect them to be like Barcelona, ​​with slow and short passes to control the ball when they are in the lead, and relying on [-] to [-]% of the ball to kill the opponent.On the contrary, it is appropriate to give up part of the possession of the ball, and Atletico Madrid give full play to the characteristics of high-position press and counter-attack and fast-playing.

Wen Zhihao only played more than 20 minutes in the second half and was replaced by Griezmann in 65 minutes.In two consecutive high-intensity games, he consumed a lot. Simeone made this substitution adjustment out of overall consideration, allowing Wen Zhihao to rest well, and allowing Griezmann to regain the feeling of scoring goals as soon as possible. If Atletico Madrid wants to gain something this season, these two points are equally important.

In these two games, Wen Zhihao made contributions at critical moments, and he behaved more like Mr. Key than Griezmann.When he was replaced, everyone in the stadium, including the VIPs in the VIP booth, stood up and applauded him.

Garcia directly put forward his opinion: "Diego Simeone should seriously consider the use of Wen. I think it is unfair for such a talented player to be a substitute. Perhaps letting Wen Wen and Griezmann play at the same time can solve the problem of offensive weakness. Now Simeone's double striker configuration is completely walking on one leg, and Wen may be the one who inspired Griezmann's scoring state."

Garcia's words are not unreasonable. When it comes to dealing with Griezmann and Wen Zhihao, Simeone's stubbornness is a bit excessive, even a bit rigid. Atletico Madrid's start record is not as good as the previous two seasons. One of the important reasons is that Griezmann squandered many opportunities.Griezmann, who played as a substitute in this game, has improved, perhaps because of the stimulation of Wen Zhihao's first goal. The sight of the shot has improved a lot, but the distance from the goal is still a hair's breadth away.Griezmann was also very annoyed at his delay in not letting go. After the last shot of the audience was lifted out of the crossbar by the goalkeeper with one hand, he knelt on the ground and roared to the sky. The Metropolitan Stadium gave him warm applause. Many fans holding his portrait were captured by the camera. It can be seen that Griezmann is highly recognized by Atletico Madrid fans. The fans are also willing to wait for the return of Griezmann.

Wen Zhihao's first La Liga goal fixed the score of the game.Atletico Madrid played a good halftime goal, and the score of 1:0 did not match the presentation on the scene, but Simeone got the most needed three-pointer, and the club's top management can also breathe a sigh of relief, temporarily suppressing all kinds of doubts.

When Wen Zhihao was interviewed after the game, he didn’t talk too much about his goal. Instead, he said as if everything was expected, “Do you believe in luck? I have a premonition that there will be surprises here. It seems that the new home stadium is indeed my blessed land, haha!”

The local reporter in Madrid didn't know what "Qi Luck" with unique Chinese characteristics was, but he still grasped the point. Wen Zhihao said that the new stadium is very good. Does this count as flattering the club's top management in disguise?

The Chinese reporters next to each other looked at each other, smiled at each other knowingly, secretly said that Wen Zhihao "has a future".

……

The home league ended, and Atletico Madrid rushed to the Basque Country the next day without stopping. Athletic Bilbao's home court was not a good one. Simeone was always worried about the team's offensive problems. Griezmann's state showed signs of recovery in the last game.

Griezmann didn't score a goal, but contributed an assist, and there were many beautiful breakthroughs in the audience. His state is indeed improving.Facing Bilbao's tough style, Atletico Madrid fought head-to-head. The whole team was in excellent condition. Correa also broke the scoring drought in four games. Oblak also saved a penalty. In the end, Atletico Madrid retreated 2:1 in the away game.

Wen Zhihao did not play in this game, and the next two games will be tough games, the league game against Sevilla, and then the key game against Chelsea in the Champions League.Simeone let Wen Zhihao, who had consumed a lot in the first two games, rest temporarily.The two-line battle tests the depth and stability of the bench, and Wen Zhihao has obviously become a very important piece of the puzzle in Simeone's strategic arrangement.

Three days later, in the sixth round of La Liga, Atlético Madrid returned to their home court and scored 2-0 against Sevilla. Griezmann finally opened his scoring account for the new season. Wen Zhihao came off the bench and sent a direct pass to Carrasco.

The best news for the fans is that Atletico Madrid has returned to the championship group with three consecutive victories, ranking fourth, and the momentum is still strong.The recovery of Atletico Madrid is even bigger gimmick for the media.La Liga's top three contenders have been generally accepted in recent years. Although Valencia intends to join in this season, if Valencia takes the place of Atletico Madrid this season, the play of the three landlords may not make people's blood rush.

Atletico Madrid is on the right track, which meets the needs of all fans for La Liga.
