Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 187 Blood spilled on the field (first update on Sunday)
At the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid led by two goals. This result was beyond the expectations of most people.

A two-goal deficit in a football match is often a watershed moment, and it may turn into a rout. However, if the head coach adjusts the stimulus properly, an equalizer or even a reversal is not far away. This is all Conte’s homework to do in 15 minutes of midfield, and Simeone can return to the waiting room with a huge psychological advantage.

When Wen Zhihao walked into the player tunnel, he walked among the players, chatting and laughing with Thomas, and Griezmann turned around to interject from time to time, and the Atletico players were in a great mood.But in the eyes of the Chelsea fans, this was brazenly showing off their victory in front of them. The fans of the home team were already in a bad mood, and now they found a place to vent. In the auditorium near the player tunnel, all kinds of unfriendly "greetings" flowed into the ears of Wen Zhihao and others.

"Madrid bastards, enjoy the last joy, I don't think you will be able to laugh in the second half."

"The great Chelsea in the second half will blow this group out, haha! I really want to see their faces at that time."

"Hey, that yellow-skinned boy, start your performance! Although your acting skills are so lame."

Wen Zhihao and Griezmann automatically filtered out these noises, and went into the player tunnel with their heads. Thomas, the black brother, couldn't bear his loneliness. When he walked into the player tunnel, he raised his right hand backwards with a middle finger, and then walked forward without looking back, leaving behind the shouts of Chelsea fans and murderous eyes stabbing Thomas' back.

When Wen Zhihao turned around, he happened to see this scene, and shook his head helplessly, this guy really doesn't think it's a big deal, is it really so fun to pull hatred?

The atmosphere in the locker rooms on both sides was completely different.

Simeone didn't even say anything, leaving it to the players to adjust themselves.He has nothing to explain to the players. As for not letting go of such useless nonsense, Simeone believes that his players know what to do.

In Chelsea's locker room, most people lowered their heads, like students being scolded. Even the captain Gary Cahill looked very ugly. He was thinking about the defense before the penalty in his mind, as if he had lost the opportunity since he chose to tackle the ground.

Conte continued to clap his hands and encouraged: "It's just two goals behind. Is the end coming? Come on! Cheer me up. Three goals behind at halftime can be recovered. This is a story that happened in the Champions League final. Believe in yourself, you can do it in this stadium. This is a matter of dignity for the Premier League champions."

Gary Cahill was the first to stand up as the captain: "Don't worry boss, I won't give them another chance."

Conte explained to everyone: "Defense is everyone's business. Their defense is tough, but your physical fitness is not bad. Especially the Chinese, he is very fast. N'Golo, your position is close to him. As long as you find that he has the intention to accelerate, don't hesitate to squeeze him with your body and use all methods to prevent him from moving forward."

The French iron waist Kanter, who transferred from Leicester City, nodded seriously: "Understood the coach, I will let him know how good I am."

Since he made great contributions to Leicester City's championship two seasons ago, Kanter has been used by many media to compare with the former Real Madrid Iron Gate Makelele. He is also a defensive midfielder, short in height, excellent in consciousness, and fierce in fighting.The two have a lot in common.Also from France.Leicester City was able to stage a dark horse miracle. Kanter’s average of 9.2 steals per game contributed a lot. Some media have begun to predict that Kanter and Pogba will join forces in the middle of the French team. The French team will be one of the favorites to win the World Cup next year.

As far as Chelsea's current staffing is concerned, Kanter is an ideal candidate who can restrain Wen Zhihao.Conte also changed the positions of the three central defenders. Azpilicueta, who was born as a full-back and had a fast return, switched to Wen Zhihao's activity area. At the same time, he replaced Cesc Fabregas with Pedro in the frontcourt to further strengthen his offensive ability.

The Chelsea players really felt that the score was unacceptable, and they obviously accelerated the offensive rhythm, and the number of passes directly into the penalty area of ​​Atletico Madrid increased significantly. On the one hand, Conte’s adjustment played a role, but internal factors were the decisive factor. However, in terms of wing assault ability, he is definitely not as good as Pedro, who specializes in playing as a winger. Felipe didn't adapt to this change for a while, and was a little embarrassed.

"Ouch!"

Jeering boos and more chants erupted from the Chelsea fans.

Joe Kruka felt a little relieved: "Conte's adjustment in the lounge was very effective. Chelsea's appearance in the second half was obviously completely new. That's right! Only this kind of state can meet the level of strength of the Premier League champions. After all, the Premier League is the world's number one league."

The competitiveness of the Premier League is the strongest among the five major leagues. The saying of "the world's first league" also makes the British very proud. Although the best record of the Premier League team in the Champions League in recent years is only the semi-finals of the Champions League, the Premier League's UEFA technical ranking has gradually declined, but the British have never admitted it.

……

Atletico may really just want to win the game at the lowest cost. There was no threat in the 10 minutes of the second half. Compared with the sharp and coquettish counterattack in the first half, Atletico only had defense, and Wen Zhihao was completely reduced to a spectator in the frontcourt.This is the helplessness of the striker. Without passing the ball, no matter how good the striker is, the hero is useless.

Wen Zhihao has never been a passive waiter. When there is no pass from his teammates, he will grab Chelsea's return pass.Swimming back and forth among the three centre-backs, as long as there is an opportunity to return a pass, he will never let it go. Among these centre-backs, he has the strongest pressure on Gary Cahill.

Wen Zhihao thought very well, so he spared no effort in pressing, but sometimes being too active is not a good thing.Cahill swung a big foot forward to the left, and it just hit Wen Zhihao's face impartially. Wen Zhihao screamed and fell to the ground covering his face.The referee saw that Wen Zhihao was lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up for a long time. After more than ten seconds, he stopped the game and rushed over to check the injury.The team doctor also entered the field as quickly as possible.

Under the precise focus of the close-up lens, the blood stains in the corners of Wen Zhihao's eyes made everyone's heart twitch.

"Simeone should not let Wen stay on the field out of consideration for the health of the players. This is really bad news. I hope he has no major problems."

"This scene is really heart-wrenching. I hope it's just a little bit of trauma. Zhihao completed the task brilliantly today, so he can go down and rest with peace of mind. I wish him a speedy recovery."

Many blessing posts appeared on the domestic Internet, and many fans responded to Wen Zhihao's recent Weibo to express their concern.

After a simple hemostasis treatment by the team doctor, Wen Zhihao came off the field for further suturing and bandaging.Simeone came over to care for the first time: "Wen, how are you, are you okay?"

"Boss, why are you so nervous? It's just a small lottery, it's okay."

Simeone breathed a sigh of relief and affirmed Wen Zhihao's performance today: "You did a good job, now take a good rest, you don't need to worry about the rest of the game. Taking care of your injuries is your biggest task."

Simeone is about to make the first substitution, Vietto has already gone to warm up, and Atletico Madrid has one less player on the field in a short time.
