Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 186 "Wen Zhihao + Griezmann" (Second update on the weekend!)

The boos of the audience seemed to burst the eardrums, but Wen Zhihao ignored it, because he fell on the field for a long time, and as usual, the team doctor was required to check the injury. In fact, Wen Zhihao did not have any serious problems, he just wanted to take this opportunity to catch his breath.In addition, seeing the backs of Chelsea players who are quite aggrieved from this angle makes me secretly happy.

Isn’t there a saying that the greatest happiness is when your opponent is gnashing their teeth at you but there is nothing you can do about it? Wen Zhihao thinks there is some truth to this saying.

The two commentators of Sky Sports had different reactions. Joe Kruka sat on the commentary seat, exhaled, and couldn't think of a tactful and reasonable expression for this sudden turning point.After several changes in Rudy Davis' expression, he finally squeezed out a sentence: "Okay, penalty kick, Atletico Madrid won."

Griezmann did not waste the excellent opportunity created by Wen Zhihao. He took the penalty kick overnight and left the problem to Chelsea, who were playing at home.

Simeone clenched his fists and roared twice. This lead was not easy to come by, but the process is not important. What is important is that Atletico Madrid can play a defensive counterattack with peace of mind. If Chelsea want to equalize the score, the space behind them will increase. The three-centre back system is most conducive to Wen Zhihao and Griezmann's running and interspersing in the counterattack. The coverage of the entire backcourt is not comparable to that of the four-back system.

Everyone can think of the next development of the plot. If [-]% of the fans were optimistic about Atletico Madrid's victory before the game, it is estimated that it has dropped to [-]% to [-]% now.Playing against an opponent like Atletico Madrid is actually very helpless. Whether you want to or not, as long as you fall into a passive position in the score, you will be led by the nose and enter the familiar rhythm of Atletico Madrid.Unless you have a top offensive combination like BBC, MSN, and Robery and a stronger midfield configuration than Atletico Madrid's close press.Atletico Madrid lost twice to Real Madrid and once to Bayern in the Champions League knockout matches in the last three years.Obviously Chelsea's attack line is not as good as the above attack combinations, so for Conte, this game is difficult to solve.

Conte was pacing back and forth in front of the coach's bench, but Simeone just sat down, looking like a master, waiting for Conte to take the lead, and he was not in a hurry anyway.

"Diego, you always don't make it clear. You should tell me what you think now, right? Even if you want to rotate, and Fernando, why would you think of pushing Wen and Anthony together to play forward?"

Boggs watched Simeone sit down, his expression relaxed, and he took the initiative to ask Simeone to clarify his doubts.

Simeone pointed to the sky: "God's will."

Boggs rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction, and I will convince you to talk nonsense and still look serious.

"Old man, don't dwell on these issues. The result is the most important thing. The effect is not bad, at least higher than my expectations."

"And after that? Do we need to develop a strategy for the two of them on the court at the same time?"

Simeone put Boggs on the shoulder and said: "Old man, you always think more than me, why don't we change positions?"

……

Chelsea fans at the Stamford Bridge Stadium have followed the team through the stormy waves. After kick-off, every time the home team takes the ball, the cheers on the pitch doubled significantly. And whenever Atletico Madrid got the ball, the intensity of the boos was not less than the cheers. Especially when Wen Zhihao got the chance to counterattack, in addition to the boos, there would be a lot of shrill screams, and even the obvious "monkey" shouts could be heard in the stands.

Such voices were drowned out by boos on a large scale, and the Atlético fans at the scene did not show any weakness, creating a huge momentum to confront the "Blue Army" fans. Although the number of fans was half that of the home team, the Atlético fans were well prepared. Under the unified organization of the fan leaders, they used the Viking lion roar that Icelandic fans spread all over the world in the European Cup to make their voices heard.The Viking Roar can effectively maximize the overall momentum of the cheering group.When the number of people is dominant, the stadium can be completely covered, and when the number of fans is not enough, the disadvantage can be minimized.

Wen Zhihao is completely unaffected by the fans on the field. He is completely focused on the team's counterattack. He has been observing Griezmann's running position and receiving habits.Wen Zhihao has worked with many coaches, coupled with the improvement of experience and experience, he gradually learned to figure out the coach's intentions, and then knew what he should do on the court.Griezmann will definitely not be his passer. That guy is an excellent finisher. Wen Zhihao knows that what he needs to do is to deliver shells to Griezmann nearby.Fortunately, I had the performance of breaking through and creating points before. As long as I have personal signs, it will attract a certain amount of attention from the opponent's defense. This is an opportunity to pass the ball to Griezmann.

Wen Zhihao and Griezmann generally belong to the same type of players, and there are many similarities in the way they play. Although they seldom cooperate on the same field, it does not prevent them from making relatively correct judgments based on their instincts in this position.

Before the end of the first half, the two had an exquisite cooperation.Saul passed the ball to Wen Zhihao on the left side. Wen Zhihao crossed it to Griezmann at the top of the penalty area. Central defender David Luiz stepped forward to get close to Griezmann. As a result, Griezmann half-turned to the left and blocked David Luiz directly. Wen Zhihao deliberately slowed down by half a beat before speeding up to the bottom line of the penalty area, not offside at all.

Goalkeeper Courtois didn't have time to think about it, so he could only move to the near corner on the left, but he kept an eye out, because he felt that Wen Zhihao would not shoot directly at a position close to the zero-degree angle.

It is true that Wen Zhihao didn't shoot, but he passed a low-to-the-ground pass, which almost touched the post and crossed the middle. The speed was not slow, which posed a huge problem for the Chelsea defender.No matter who touches the ball, it is very likely to hit the goal in the chaos.

Griezmann's excellent sense of smell as an offensive finisher allowed him to keenly capture the gift from Wen Zhihao. With a light touch on his toes, he slid the ball into the empty goal. Before the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid further expanded its advantage.

"GOOOOAL!!!!" Garcia broke out instantly, "Perfect cooperation! Wen Wen and Griezmann defeated Chelsea. Just look at Simeone's reaction and you will know how amazing it all is."

Simeone took off his suit and knelt on the sidelines. Boggs went to pull him up. He was so excited that he strangled Boggs.The latter's expression of enjoyment and pain has become the best material for emoticons.

What Simeone is excited about is not only the goal itself, but the coordination behind it that he hopes to see. "Wen Zhihao + Griezmann"'s small Kuailing offensive combination, after further refinement, can definitely have room for improvement.Especially when Torres was in poor form and before Costa registered in the winter, Simeone needed a new attack combination to stabilize the team's offensive firepower, and the call from the two came at the right time.Simeone feels that this offensive combination has unlimited room to build, but it still needs further refinement.

PS: If Atletico Madrid is allowed to play at home first according to the actual situation, it is not conducive to the protagonist's opening in the final qualifying stage, so the order of home and away games has been adjusted, it should not affect the impression, right?
