Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 246 The new combination of giants - WCG
The lingering heat of this focus match has not dissipated. The next day after the game, almost all sports newspapers and websites in Spain published photos of Wen Zhihao and Paulinho talking in a coffee shop. The reporters finally understood the reason why Wen Zhihao went out after the game.

The match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona is the highlight of the match between the top three in La Liga. The media will naturally do a lot of homework. The friendship between Wen Zhihao and Paulinho is no longer a secret. Some tabloid reporters are still very interested in the content of the conversation between the two, hoping to find some lace.

This game really let everyone see the strength of Atletico Madrid's front trident.Although one of the three goals was scored by central defender Godin, it also has something to do with Wen Zhihao.All goals are directly and indirectly related to the trio in the frontcourt, and the trio basically created all of Atletico Madrid's offensive threats.On China's domestic network, a new group was born - WCG!

The origin of the name is very simple. The order of the English abbreviations of the names of the three offensive players is also particular.The letter "W" representing Wen Zhihao is placed first. Although there are emotional factors from the media and fans, it is also a fact. Among the three, Wen Zhihao plays the most prominent role. His all-round performance in the frontcourt can fully activate the two killers of Griezmann and Costa.

At the same time, it took only one month for Costa, who only played for Atletico Madrid again in February, to win the recognition of the fans with his efficient scoring performance, so the "C" representing his name was ranked after Wen Zhihao.Relatively speaking, Griezmann, whose scoring efficiency has dropped significantly this season, is no longer an indispensable role in everyone's minds, and "G" is also placed at the end of the three.

For Atletico Madrid, this group has just formed, but its strength is enough to deter the entire La Liga offensive combination, and everyone is looking forward to it.After all, Barcelona's MSN and Real Madrid's BBC are now the pinnacle of the Trident.After Neymar left Paris, he formed a new "CNM" combination with Cavani and Mbappé.In the Ligue 3 and Champions League group stages this season, they are completely unstoppable.Leading the league by 0 points, defeating Bayern [-]-[-] at home in the second round of the Champions League is enough to explain everything.

Every giant that wants to win the championship in Europe and establish a dynasty has its own core combination that it can absolutely rely on.At least Atletico Madrid has WCG, and the airs are set up, and all three of them signed long-term contracts with the club last summer.Wen Zhihao's contract is for six years, and the new contracts of Griezmann and Costa will also expire in 2021.Atletico has plenty of time to build its own dynasty.

Most of the Spanish media admitted that as long as Wen Zhihao can spend two more years, he can accumulate enough experience in top competitions.The next era of La Liga should belong to Atletico Madrid!

Atletico Madrid fans and Chinese fans disagree. With Atletico Madrid's current momentum, maybe they don't have to wait so long at all?
……

Just achieved a major victory at the league level, Atletico Madrid did not get many opportunities to rest.Three days later, they will soon usher in the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, playing against Villarreal at home.

Since this year is the World Cup year, the schedule of La Liga and Copa del Rey is very tight. Not only must the Champions League be considered, but at least half a month of sprint preparation time must be set aside for each national team participating in the World Cup.The World Cup in Russia is scheduled to start on June [-], which means that the club's season will end by mid-to-late May at the latest. Therefore, this year's La Liga will have many double matches a week, and the situation of one match every three days is very common.Quite a test of the club's bench depth and the player's own adjustment ability.

Another point that needs to be explained is that the Copa del Rey match between Real Madrid and Barcelona was officially postponed. This time happened to be the preparation period for the second half of the Champions League round of sixteen.Of course, La Liga must make way for the Champions League unconditionally.

For Atletico Madrid, the 1:2 loss in the first round was somewhat unexpected, but the point difference is not big, and there are away goals. The gaming company is very optimistic that Atletico Madrid will win and advance with two goals at home.

The final result is both reasonable and unexpected.Atletico Madrid successfully reversed.However, it was not a two-goal win as predicted by the gaming company, but a full double!
Atletico Madrid beat Villarreal 5:1 at home and advanced to the semi-finals of this year's Copa del Rey with a total score of 6:3.

However, the game process was not very easy.

In the first five and 10 minutes of this game, the two sides still fought 1:1, and the situation was once very stalemate.

The turning point happened at 5 minutes.

Griezmann single-handedly turned offside and was tripped by Rukavina after entering the penalty area. The referee Marienko on duty directly sent a red card and a penalty kick package.

Wen Zhihao personally took the penalty kick and hit it steadily.

This goal not only helped Atletico Madrid equalize the total score, but also caused Villarreal's central defender to be sent off, and Villarreal's defense system was fatally loose.

It wasn't until this time that Atletico Madrid began to really take the opportunity to take over the game.

The next game process is the performance time of the WCG group.

No. 604 minutes, Costa relied on his body to crush all the way into the penalty area, and then cleverly distributed the ball to Griezmann who inserted in the back.Da Grid volleyed and scored twice in this game, expanding the advantage for Atletico Madrid.

No. In the 707th minute, Costa received an assist from Wen Zhihao's frontcourt positioning ball and scored with a header, which completely sealed the conclusion of this round of the series.

Simeone also replaced Wen Zhihao in the No.80 minute. For two consecutive high-intensity confrontations, it is necessary for the main players to rest properly.

However, Atletico Madrid's scoring performance is not over yet. Before the end, Griezmann played with the opponent's three defenders to add to the icing on the cake and staged his first hat-trick of the season.

After the game, Griezmann was named the best player of the game, but if the best player award does not prohibit more than one player from winning at the same time, almost all media will agree that the three players of the WCG combination will receive the award at the same time.

The frequent and in-depth exchanges between the media made WCG, a term used by Chinese media and fans to describe Atletico Madrid's Trident, go abroad, and was quickly accepted by Spanish media and even European mainstream media. In this way, WCG has become another offensive sign of La Liga, and has entered the fans' vision of mainstream European platforms like MSN and BBC.

British Sky Sports also made a special issue, enumerating the offensive combinations that have swept the Champions League in recent years.Bayern's Robery combination, Barcelona MSN, Real Madrid BBC... including the Paris CNM combination that has killed the Quartet this season are all among them.

Although Atletico Madrid's WCG combination is not the focus, Sky Sports believes that they have unique advantages compared to the above combinations.

The most important thing is that the types of Wen Zhihao, Griezmann and Costa basically do not overlap.Moreover, the cooperation between the three can form a good complementarity, and pulling out individuals to work alone can also effectively solve the problem.The most valuable thing is that this combination is especially young, which means a stronger and lasting combat power.

The final evaluation of Sky Sports is that the WCG combination may make the whole of Europe tremble this season.This is not only a kind of appreciation and recognition, but also a disguised reminder to the Premier League teams competing in the Champions League, when they encounter Atletico Madrid, they know what to do!
