Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 362
Wen Zhihao couldn't help giving Liang Xin a thumbs up: "You're ruthless!"

But he also understands that from the team's point of view, there is nothing wrong with Liang Xin's approach.

Liang Xin failed to rob two or three times. Stegel quickly instructed him to return to his midfielder position. The overall formation was retracted. After all, Stegel still lacked confidence.

After 1 minute of stoppage time, Atletico Madrid returned to the midfield locker room with a goal advantage.

He Wei summed up the first half of the game and still gave the highest score to Wen Zhihao, but Liang Xin's performance was just satisfactory in his opinion: "Liang Xin is not stage-frightened in the face of such a big scene, which shows his psychological quality. The gap between him and Wen Zhihao's performance on the field is mainly because he has not fully integrated into Dortmund's tactical system."

Other European commentators also expressed their views.For example, German commentator Marcel Leif was deeply worried about the second half of the game: "Dortmund's defense in the second half is still the biggest hidden danger. Papastathopoulos is carrying a yellow card, which is a great disadvantage for the central defender. If Stegel wants to ensure a solid defense and lay a good foundation for reversing the situation, some adjustments should be made. Otherwise, once the backyard catches fire, the game will be meaningless."

……

After the 15-minute intermission, the second half of the game began, and the formation of the two sides did not change further.

However, from the beginning of the second half, the game became much more explosive. At the beginning of the game, when Liang Xin and Saul were fighting for a half ball in the middle of the field, they shoveled each other with their legs.

Most of the commentators on the scene saw this scene, and they were even more sure that Dortmund's chances were not great. The eagerness to win and the fact that the players were not as sophisticated as Atletico Madrid would only make the balance of victory tilt more towards Atletico Madrid.

"The newly joined player Liang received the first yellow card in Dortmund's career. Although he is as confident as Wen, he is obviously inferior in terms of practical experience and emotional self-control. This yellow card is not worth it at all. It will only make Dortmund fall into a more difficult situation." Marcel Leif said.

Although Dortmund would like to use the simplest and direct way to pass the ball directly to Götze or Batshuayi, but facing Atletico Madrid's midfield strength, which is obviously higher than that of Atletico Madrid, Dortmund will spend a lot of energy even if they want to block the ball from these midfielders and Wen Zhihao.

And Atletico Madrid also adopted the most labor-saving offensive advancement method, after all, their next game task is not small.After the European Super Cup, and the Spanish Super Cup with Barcelona is waiting for them. In this situation where the victory is already guaranteed, Atletico Madrid must of course plan for the future schedule, so they rely more on the center and the side. The focus of the attack is placed on the side. Wen Zhihao saw that the right defender Juanfran is in good condition today, so he passed more to the right. The field can also be fully activated, and Juanfran and Griezmann can play many exquisite two-for-one cooperation on the wing.

The left flank guarded by Dortmund captain Schmelzer has always been the most stable link, but under the heavy attack of Atletico Madrid, it is still full of loopholes very quickly.The game time has just passed the 10-minute barrier, and Atletico Madrid's attack on the right has achieved results.

Juanfran threw the ball directly into the penalty area. Griezmann took advantage of his speed to cut Schmelzer behind him and cut into the penalty area. Before Papastathopoulos made up the block, he changed his direction and dodged the angle. The short-range shot directly pierced Oblak's ten fingers with strength.

Griezmann scored twice, Atletico Madrid lead 2:0!

Obviously, Griezmann's state is very hot this season, unlike the start of last season, he was unable to open his scoring account for a long time.And such a big grid with goals like hemp is what Atletico Madrid fans want to see most.As long as his state can be stable, Atletico Madrid will have an extra layer of insurance to defend the title.

Seeing that the team conceded another goal, Stegel's face was gloomy. It was only at this time that he began to remedy the situation, replacing Pulisic with a strong forward Isaac, and partnering with Batshuayi as a double forward combination.

Simeone's substitution showed full confidence. In 65 minutes, Wen Zhihao was directly replaced by Cork.

Wen Zhihao was still a little surprised. After the game, Simeone came over and hugged him, explaining: "You did a good job, let's rest. There will be the Spanish Super Cup next, which will not be easy."

Wen Zhihao smiled and sat back on the bench, it turned out that was the case.

Liang Xin gritted his teeth lightly when he saw Wen Zhihao retreating, and flashed a complex expression.

Atletico Madrid changed their formation and played 4-4-2 in the last half an hour. Without Wen Zhihao, the offensive routine would be much simpler and more direct, relying on the long pass from the midfielder. The two forwards Griezmann and Costa on the front line first seized the ball and disrupted Dortmund's defense.

In the final stage, Atletico Madrid showed a stronger championship temperament than Dortmund. The gap between the midfield and the back line was tightened, and they paid great attention to mutual protection.Atletico Madrid will naturally not give them such an opportunity.

After 85 minutes of the game, the cheers of the Estonian National Stadium gradually rose, and Atletico Madrid fans had already begun to cheer for their first championship of the season.

The final stoppage time is 3 minutes, which is actually meaningless. Dortmund has reached a low ebb in terms of physical fitness and fighting spirit. It is impossible to organize a threatening offensive. They are actually more eager to end the game earlier than Atletico Madrid, because there is no hope at all.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee team blew the final whistle on time.Atletico Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 to win the UEFA Super Cup.

The king of Europe, for Atletico Madrid, this is the best start to welcome the new season.
