Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 192 The Opening Attack Duet (Second Update!)
The atmosphere at the Wanda Stadium is already very warm, and the scene of tens of thousands of fans surging from the air with the "Flying Cat" camera is spectacular.

Simeone did not announce the starting lineup until an hour before the game. It was completely against the stipulated time point. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this game. Core tactical secrets such as the lineup will not give opponents time to spy and prepare in advance.

However, such a move is more likely to create space for the media to hype. The coaches of both sides are actually well aware that it is impossible for the two sides to have any reservations in the selection of personnel, and the strongest lineup must be on the field.

Wen Zhihao and Griezmann once again teamed up as double forwards. In the Champions League match against Chelsea, this theoretically strongest Atletico Madrid offensive combination so far passed the actual combat test of Simeone. As long as there are no injuries or other unforeseen circumstances that prevent them from playing, Atletico Madrid's double forwards can be temporarily determined—at least before Costa is eligible to play.

The challenge for Godin on the defensive line will be very great. Valverde's 4-3-3 formation in this field, Messi's position appears on the right winger, just facing the left half he is defending.A left-footed player kicks to the right, and cutting inside with the reverse foot is a routine routine, and dribbling is also one of Messi's stunts in football.Godin may not be afraid in his heyday, but now he has just returned from injury and has not played a game for more than half a month, so the state is really hard to say.

If the opponent is not Barcelona, ​​Simeone is on the safe side and may let Godin take a rest or come off the bench in the second half. Just because the opponent is Barcelona in the rising state, the ability of substitute central defender Jimenez does not satisfy Simeone.

Although Barcelona was in an away game, they were booed hugely from the very beginning, but instead stimulated their desire to attack, and they tried to win the first place in just 30 seconds of the opening.Messi dexterously passed through the encirclement of three Atletico Madrid players in the right corridor, and then made a wall-hitting two-for-one cooperation with Rakitic. Godin did not expect Messi to break through the three-person encirclement. He faced the two offensive players Messi and Rakitic for a moment. He did not respond, and Messi directly wiped into the penalty area from his left side.

The voice of the commentator on Catalan TV was obviously raised by an octave, and any position in the penalty area was within the effective attack range of the King of Barcelona: "Leo! Great Leo! He tried to pass everyone at Atletico Madrid...Shoot!!"

Messi's continuous cross-cutting and changing directions in a small area fully demonstrated his physical flexibility, which caused chaos in the penalty area of ​​Atletico Madrid. Just now, Godin, who was a little stunned, had been interfering with Messi with his body. Messi's shot was indeed squeezed by him and hit the side net of the goal.While Atletico Madrid escaped, Godin also made a contribution and made up for it.

Wen Zhihao can also clearly see Messi's performance in his own restricted area in the frontcourt. A series of smooth and flowing movements let Wen Zhihao feel the direction of his efforts. Going beyond the crowd like no one is in the middle of nowhere has long been commonplace for Messi, but Wen Zhihao regards him as the most profound practical teaching.

The string of people being teased by Messi includes Godin, Savage, Gabi... each of them is a top defensive player.And they all escaped continuously in a narrow space of less than one meter in the penalty area.Wen Zhihao thought that if he was himself, he would do his best to face any of them, but Messi behaved as easily as he would pass an ordinary defender. It seemed that he was still a long way from the real top level.

Such a thought only flashed in Wen Zhihao's mind, he was not playing in the peak season.This is not a 1V1 competition of personal skills, and giving full play to the advantages of team football is the kingly way to win.Only 3 minutes after Messi created this dangerous situation, Wen Zhihao sent an overhead pass for Griezmann, giving a just right amount of advance, and Griezmann could turn around directly along the ball to complete the shot.Ter Stegen quickly fell to the ground to seal the near corner position.There was a sigh in the stands.

In less than 5 minutes of the opening, both sides created good opportunities to score goals. The game is destined to not be dull. If goals are the finale, these two wonderful offensives are the appetizers for a strong dialogue.The atmosphere in the arena was obviously doubled, and every fan shouted at their highest decibels.

Although Wen Zhihao is still a shadow striker in name, Griezmann is more tasked to charge forward in the game.Barcelona's three midfielders all have strong pass organization ability, relying only on Gabi and Saul to intercept in the middle is a bit weak.

Barcelona's three midfield configuration, Rakitic and "Little White" Iniesta are mainly offensive, Busquets covers a large area in defense, is tall and long-legged, and is aggressive in fighting. Gabi and Saul's two midfielders can't take much advantage.But Wen Zhihao joined the midfield, instantly breaking this delicate balance.No matter how powerful Busquets is, it is impossible to keep an eye on three people at the same time. Wen Zhihao also deliberately increased the pass coordination in the midfield.

With the assistance of Wen Zhihao, Atletico Madrid not only stabilized the ball in a short period of time, but also counterattacked more efficiently.Four minutes later, Griezmann squeezed out of the double-teaming of Pique and Alba. He single-handedly entered the penalty area and shot low. His ankle shook extremely quickly. Ter Stegen quickly lowered his center of gravity and sat on the ground.

"Hey! Wen Zhihao! A beautiful pass! Griezmann went in and shot! ... Oops, Griezmann wasted Wen Zhihao's kindness for the second time. But what is gratifying is that even though Wen Zhihao appeared in a position similar to the midfielder, the two still called. Atletico Madrid's two closest chances to score were duets of the two. It was only 10 minutes into the game."

He Wei was full of witty words, against a real giant like Barcelona, ​​he had some expectations for Wen Zhihao in his heart.It is his advantage that he does not have stage fright against any opponent. Because of this, Chinese fans will have more expectations.

Due to the double appeal of Wen Zhihao and Barcelona, ​​the sports channel ranked first in the real-time ratings at midnight, reaching [-]%.In other words, there are tens of millions of people watching the live broadcast of the game at the same time.This is only a conservative estimate, and the audience of new online media platforms has not been counted.

After Griezmann missed two chances, he regretfully gave Wen Zhihao a thumbs up. The meaning was very clear: My responsibility, you passed it very well.

Wen Zhihao smiled back. He wanted to give Griezmann some advice, but now is not the time. The corner kick created by Griezmann's shot was pushed out of the sideline by the opponent's central defender Umtiti.

Off the bench, Paulinho's eyes followed Wen Zhihao non-stop when Atletico Madrid was attacking. From a sensory point of view, what made him feel mixed was that Wen Zhihao's ability was only stronger than before.And it has more temperament than Evergrande, and it no longer looks immature like a child, but more like a controller.

Just as a friend and former teammate, Paulinho is very happy to see Wen Zhihao grow up like this, but it is a painful thing to think that everyone is their own master now.He began to hesitate whether to look forward to playing against Wen Zhihao.His strength seemed to faintly exceed his estimation.

PS: The replacement is in place, please ask for a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
