Chapter 95 That Glimmer of Expectation...

In these comments, time is almost over.

The two teams returned to the playing field, and the second half began at the whistle of the referee.

As discussed by the media, Atletico Madrid still focused on defense in the second half. The entire game scene was very similar to the first half. Barcelona continued to attack, while Atletico Madrid shrank the defense line and defended the goal.

The only thing is...

Perhaps it was the 'crow's mouth' that was at fault. Barcelona equalized the score less than 5 minutes into the second half!

Goal is Alves!

Alves broke through and dribbled the ball over the center line, then crossed Messi diagonally, Messi then passed Xavi, the latter kicked Alves.

This time, Alves did not pass the ball again. Facing the defense of Mario Suarez, he decisively crossed the ball and completed a long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area.

De Gea was blocked by his teammates, so he couldn't judge it right away. As a result, the football flew directly into the far corner!

"GOOOOOOOOL!!!"

"Alves used a long shot to help Barcelona tie the score, now it is 1-1!"

The Norcap announcer chanted.

Barcelona fans at the Nou Camp erupted into their biggest cheers since the opening as the announcer shouted, as if they were sure they had won the game.

Even the Spanish national sports commentator Fernandos Sanchez Bob shouted, "Alves! Alves! He scored a goal with a hidden long-range shot! This is a demonstration of Alves' personal ability!"

"In this game, Barcelona's frontcourts, Messi, Xavi, Villa and Iniesta, were all caught in Atletico Madrid's defense. He broke out in a timely manner, and he showed a strong personal ability!"

"This is Barcelona! The mighty Barcelona! Even a full-back can leave the opponent at a loss!"

"Two months ago, Alves' contract renewal with Barcelona was deadlocked, and two weeks ago, Alves successfully renewed his contract with Barcelona. At that time, many people criticized Alves' new contract. Now seeing this goal, those people should shut up, Barcelona made the most correct choice! Renewing the contract with Alves is more meaningful than signing a star player..."

Amid the loud shouts at Camp Nou, Wan Sheng bit his lower lip and stared solemnly at the arena.

Barcelona is undoubtedly very strong.

Even so, Wansheng never thought that a full-back could bring in a goal.

This is so unexpected!

Barcelona tied the score, and the team was undoubtedly in danger. Fortunately, at halftime, the players explained what to do after the opponent scored.

That is to keep defending!

There is nothing special to say, this unexpected goal, apart from rewriting the score, will not have much impact on the situation of the two teams.

Wansheng believes that the team can persevere!

Now is the test for the entire team to face the crisis!

————

Alves' goal helped Barcelona tie the score. With the support of the Camp Nou stadium, Barcelona continued to attack with high spirits.

The situation is not good for Atletico Madrid.

Although it is only a 1-1 draw, Atletico Madrid has no advantage in the score, and Barcelona has been attacking, Atletico Madrid is very passive.

This passive will undoubtedly affect the morale of the entire team.

The most important thing is the situation of the game. Atletico Madrid's occasional counterattack cannot pose a threat to Barcelona at all. Even those who are optimistic about Atletico Madrid can see that Atletico Madrid wants to score goals. The only thing they can do now It's passive defense.

Hold the rest of the time to take a point away from the Camp Nou or Atlético de Madrid will lose the game.

"Atlético de Madrid became very disadvantaged..."

Fernandos Sanchez-Bob also said when talking about the game.

The Catalan media began to look forward to Barcelona's next goal. Alves' goal not only boosted the morale of Barcelona, ​​but also allowed the media and fans to see the strength of Barcelona.

When Barcelona's frontcourt players were restricted from playing, Alves, who started as a full-back, stepped in but used his personal ability to help the team score goals.

"This is Barcelona! The strongest team in Europe!" the Catalan commentator shouted excitedly, "Barcelona is the strongest, the Chinese said before the game that they would fight against Barcelona, But it turned out that Atletico Madrid chose a shameful conservative style of play, and they wanted to use this method to surprise, but the game proved that it didn't make much sense at all, and it was difficult to make up for the huge gap between the two teams with a small strategy..."

Atletico Madrid did not give up!

At halftime, Wan Sheng emphasized that if the score is tied, they will continue to play according to the tactics. This also gives the players more confidence. They feel that the coach has long expected the situation to be tied, and the game Still under the control of the coach.

This kind of thinking made their fighting spirit not drop much.

Although Wansheng has not been in Atletico Madrid for a long time, many players have developed a lot of goodwill and respect for him. They believe in Wansheng and support their belief in continuing to play hard.

In addition, there is a glimmer of hope...

After the restart of the game, many people found that Atletico Madrid did not seem to be affected by Barcelona's goal, each of them still played very seriously, and the team's defense was still very solid.

Atletico Madrid's third-tier players are very positive!

Aguero!

As the only player in the frontcourt and one of the team's biggest stars, Aguero is not the kind of player who easily admits defeat. In the team, he thinks differently from other teammates.

Many teammates have fighting spirit, and many are out of trust in Wansheng and confidence in the team.

Aguero is different, he trusts himself.

In fact, Aguero hopes that his team can win the championship, but for the occasional game, winning or losing actually has little to do with him. What he pursues is that he can perform well.

This kind of thinking is undoubtedly selfish, but as a professional player, being responsible for your own performance is also a manifestation of professional ethics.

Aguero is just a player, not a team captain, nor a team coach, and he has no obligation to consider the entire team.

But in any case, Aguero will not give up the game. No matter when, he will insist on working hard until the end of the game and strive for his excellent performance. He knows that only in this way can he keep moving forward on his career path!

More faith than Aguero is Maurice!

Morris is the captain of the field. He is a player who will consider the whole team. At the same time, he is also very confident in his ability, and he has a lot of confidence in Wansheng.

From the perspective of the individual, the team and the head coach, Morris has no reason to lose confidence!

So he is the most active on the field.

At the same time, Morris will not forget to remind his teammates to be serious during the game, and his command on the field is also very helpful to the team's performance.

De Gea!

This is a player that deserves a special mention.

As a 20-year-old young goalkeeper, De Gea is considered a 'newcomer' in the team even if he is the main player, but De Gea has a lot of power in the team because he is a 'native' Atletico Madrid player , In other words, De Gea is very popular, his whole family is Atlético de Madrid fans, and he grew up in Atlético de Madrid's youth training system since he was a child. Everyone knows that he will become an iconic figure of Atlético de Madrid in the future, if he is enough If successful, it will be like Gerrard of Liverpool, Messi of Barcelona, ​​as long as you think of Atletico Madrid, you can think of De Gea's name.

In the entire team, no one loves 'Atletico Madrid' more than De Gea. That is the love of a belief, not the love of ordinary players for the team.

So De Gea will not lose his fighting spirit in vain.

He believes that playing for Atlético de Madrid is an honor in itself. To participate in the game as an honor, how can he not do his best, but lose confidence when he is caught up with a goal?

De Gea not only has the fighting spirit himself, he also reminded his teammates with a shout.

"Attention! Don't get distracted!"

"Middle! Middle! Hurry up, the game isn't over yet!"

"Defend him! Don't let him move forward!"

"..."

De Gea's shouts also cheered up his teammates.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Godin, he may be considered as a "summer transfer to the team, not a representative of Wansheng's direct line".

Players such as Godin, Felipe Luis, Mario Suarez, etc., were all transferred to the team before Taiwan Development invested in the acquisition of Atlético de Madrid. 'The coach's direct line', in fact, I was still very uneasy.

Often when a team has a coach change, these players are the most embarrassed.

They know that they are not introduced by the new coach, so it is uncertain whether they can gain the trust of the new coach, and they are not old players of the team. .

Godin is one of them.

Godin played for Villarreal before, and because of his outstanding performance, he was dug up to Atletico Madrid by Hill for 18 million euros.

After coming to the team, the good news for Godin is that after the team received the capital injection, no other powerful central defenders were introduced. The only central defender introduced by the new coach was the 17-year-old Rafael Varane. , even if this young man has potential, it is not enough to want to be his own competitor for a short time.

So Godin isn't worried about his position.

Even so, Godin absolutely did not expect that Atletico Madrid would play such a good result this season, have the ability to compete with Barcelona for the league title, and will almost certainly be able to participate in the Champions League next season.

Godin is very satisfied with the team's results, so he takes every game very seriously.

This one is very important!

The match against Barcelona is directly related to the competition for the league title. Godin never thought that he could win the league title at Atletico Madrid, but when there is hope, everyone wants to grab it, like 500 from the sky. Ten thousand jackpots, wouldn't they try to redeem them because the lottery tickets were soaked in water? As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you will never give up!

That's what Godin thought.

So when Barcelona tied the score, Godin was not affected much at all, but was more active in running and fighting.

Driven by the above players, Atlético de Madrid showed a positive attitude, everyone was serious, and everyone refused to admit defeat.

Barcelona originally wanted to carry the power of goals and continue to attack and try to overtake the score, but they quickly found that the "power of goals" was meaningless.

Atlético de Madrid are more aggressive and their defense is more solid.

Spanish national sports TV broadcaster Fernandos - Sanchez - Bob commented, "This is sportsmanship! Never give up even when passive!"

Just before, many media were still talking about Barcelona's beautiful situation, but ten minutes later, many people began to talk about Atletico Madrid's defense.

The game shows that every Atletico Madrid player is working hard.

They are trying their best to defend!

Even if the defense is not very good-looking, it is the spirit of not giving up and persevering that must be admired!

More than 8,000 Madrid fans in the audience are also cheering for the team. Although the game is not what they expected, they are more looking forward to the team's offense, but the efforts of each player can be seen.

"A team like this deserves any praise!" Fernandos Sanchez-Bob said.

Seeing everyone on the court working hard, Wan Sheng was also very moved. It's not easy to have this kind of performance when passive. This is the team he created.

Really belongs to his team!

However, Wansheng and fans think similar.

Although he is also moved by the team's persistence in defense and hard work, what he wants is not passive defense until the end of the game, he hopes to pursue victory!

Barcelona are strong, but they have attacked the whole game.

The game has progressed to the present, and it is obvious that Barcelona's offense has slowed down. Although football is still under Barcelona's feet for most of the time, by this time, Barcelona is already a little tired.

Wan Sheng glanced at the time.

The game has been going on for 75 minutes, and there are 15 minutes left to end. If this continues, the team has a great chance of defending the goal.

But……

Barcelona will definitely be dissatisfied with the draw, and Wansheng hopes to beat the opponent!

At this time, Wan Sheng was also a little nervous.

During the half-time break, Wansheng arranged not only defense, but also how to fight hard at the last time after Barcelona tied the score.

That was his trump card.

Whether coaching Derby County, Manchester City, or now Atletico Madrid, Wansheng will arrange for the team to train the 'formation with the strongest defensive ability' and the 'formation with the most offensive ability'.

These two formations are the cards.

When it’s time to stabilize the defense, use the 'formation with the strongest defensive ability', and when it's time to pursue goals, use the 'formation with the strongest offensive ability'.

Both have flaws.

The strongest defensive ability means that the offense is weaker. Unless there are special moments, Wansheng will basically not let the team use that kind of play, which is equivalent to giving up the offense completely.

Wansheng has used the most offensive formation more than once, which is also his trump card in pursuit of victory.

But the duration of this formation must not be too long, otherwise it is equivalent to giving the opponent a chance. As long as it is the last time, when you want to fight hard, it is the best time.

That can be caught off guard!

This is also the expectation in the hearts of all Atlético de Madrid players... (To be continued ~^~)
