Chapter 117 The Champion Is Right in Front of You!

"The ball is in--!!"

"At the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid scored another goal! The score became 2-0 and it was Forlan who scored!"

"Atlético de Madrid cooperated cleverly, their counterattacks were quite fast, several frontcourt players almost all rushed to the penalty area one step ahead of their opponents, Adriano had nothing to do with Ozil, he was played on the wing After that, Maurice made a wonderful pass, Aguero let the ball behind him, and Fran kicked into the net!"

"Faced with such a wonderful cooperation, goalkeeper Valdes has nothing to do!"

"The first half is coming to an end, and Barcelona have been hit hard! Two goals behind, the situation will be very bad for them in the second half!"

"This goal can completely decide the direction of the game!"

"Fran has not performed well in the first half, which may be related to his age and physical fitness, but this kick alone has all kicked back! Before the game, the media reported that Forlan was about to leave Atletico Madrid, but Wan Wan Sheng still chose to start the Uruguayan, and his trust in Forlan has paid off!"

"This ball is also the result of the concerted efforts of several Atlético Madrid players, from Ozil to Maurice, Maurice to Aguero, to the unguarded Forlan. Rona can't even defend if he wants to!"

"This is Atlético Madrid now!"

"Seeing this goal, many people should know why Atletico Madrid's ability to beat Barcelona ranks first in La Liga..."

The Barcelona fans in the stands were all stunned.

Even if they were not satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, they never thought that the team would concede another goal!

Two goals behind...

This is not the first time.

Many fans thought of the third round of the league, when Barcelona visited the Calderon Stadium and played against Atletico Madrid. At that time, Barcelona suffered a rare 1-5 defeat, which is simply the history of Barcelona and Madrid. Shame!

Now, two goals behind?

Then the second half...

Many Barcelona fans are afraid to think about it.

On the field, Fran hugged Aguero emotionally, thanking his friend for giving him the opportunity.

The two hugged for a few seconds, and other teammates came over and hugged Fran one by one. No one joked about Fran's goal. They were all sincere congratulations. Fran is the captain of Atlético de Madrid. Even if he doesn't make many appearances this season, everyone has a lot of respect for Fran.

Forlan scored a goal, and many people were happy for him.

Fran was also excited.

So far this season, he has scored 9 goals in the league for Atletico Madrid. Compared with the playing time, his efficiency is still very high. However, compared with the 19 goals last season, 9 goals are a bit less. , It is uncertain whether he will leave in the summer, whether immediately or not, the performance of this season is very important.

A goal in the Copa del Rey game against Barcelona undoubtedly marked his performance résumé.

This goal will not only contribute to the title of Atlético de Madrid, but will also help the clubs who want him to make up their minds.

For the team and for himself, scoring goals is of great significance!

But thinking about the possibility of leaving in the summer, Forlan was still a little sad. He had already made up his mind to leave before, because in Atlético Madrid, he could not become an absolute main force, and could only serve as a substitute to supplement the striker. He wants to renew his contract in the future. It was almost impossible, but now looking at the happy teammates left and right, he hesitated for a while.

Atletico Madrid!

He has been here for nearly four seasons, and in those four seasons, he has been full of affection for the team!

The city of Madrid, Atlético de Madrid fans, and the club up and down, including the Calderon Stadium, where he won the European Golden Boot and achieved a brilliant career.

Do you really want to leave?

While Fran was silent, the other teammates were already excitedly celebrating.

They lined up creatively and consciously, shouting neatly to the audience, "Atlético de Madrid! 2-0! Champions of the Copa del Rey!"

The Atlético de Madrid fans in the audience also shouted in response, as if Atlético de Madrid had won the championship.

Their excitement detonated the entire stadium!

From the perspective of Barcelona and above, this is a blatant provocation.

Before the game is over, he started shouting for the champion, what is it that is not provocation? When Barcelona is a soft persimmon, you can win if you want to win?

But the Barcelona fans could only be silent... It was like the Atletico Madrid players shouted that the score had become 2-0. The reality is too cruel, and they have not fully accepted it for a while!

————

From top to bottom, Barcelona struggled to accept the brutal situation of being two goals behind.

The Barcelona players on the field were dumbfounded. They worked hard for a half-time. Each of them tried their best, but now the other side has scored two goals.

Valdez hugged the ball from the goal and scolded complainingly, "How do you see people!"

Neither Puyol, Pique nor Adriano responded, and other players also looked in the direction of the Atlético de Madrid players, where a goal celebration was taking place, contrary to their atmosphere.

0 to 2!

Dozens of games have passed in the entire league. There are only a handful of games in which they scored two goals at half-time. All they can think of is a Champions League group match and the third round match against Atletico Madrid.

This game is much more important than a league!

The final of the King's Cup!

Two goals were scored in the first half, how to play in the second half? Do they really have a chance to come back and win?

The hearts of many players were shaken.

Guardiola on the coach's bench had a cold face. Maybe he has always been like this since just now. Except for the relaxed accident at the beginning of the game, there is nothing else. He has been observing Atlético Madrid's play before. Now he finally came to a conclusion - the opponent was not playing a defensive counterattack, the speed was just because of tactical requirements.

The other party... is fighting against Barcelona!

I came to this conclusion at halftime, and the speed of judgment is actually very fast. Normally, there is still time to make adjustments at halftime, but Guardiola felt that it was meaningless, because Atletico Madrid had already achieved the desired effect--

2 to 0 is the result!

In the tactical confrontation with the young Chinese, he failed again, and it was a complete defeat. He originally thought that if Atletico Madrid wanted to beat Barcelona, ​​he would definitely have to play a defensive counterattack. Just like last time, Atletico Madrid can A chance to fight for victory.

Who knows...the other party chose to attack!

It really takes courage to fight against Barcelona. Even as the coach of Barcelona, ​​Guardiola thinks so, because he knows that his team is at the peak of its strength and state, and it is impossible to play against any team. Have the confidence to win.

But at half-time, Barcelona lost... The game ended with this, and Barcelona was a complete defeat!

Now Guardiola understands Mourinho's feelings better.

As a successful coach who led Porto to the treble, when Mourinho led Chelsea, he did not beat the team led by Wan Sheng in three seasons, whether it was Derby County or Manchester City, Mourinho met To Wansheng is almost always a loss, at most a draw.

Guardiola felt unbelievable before, but now he finds himself caught in this vicious circle - Barcelona has the confidence to win against any team, but against Atlético Madrid...he doesn't have much confidence in himself.

Watching Atletico Madrid's celebration, the reporters in the media booth also had a lot of emotion.

After entering the 21st century, Atletico Madrid is not a strong team in La Liga. If Atletico Madrid's performance has not improved a little in the past two years, many people would have forgotten this team. After they went through the process of relegation and promotion, they returned to La Liga is only a mid-tier team.

With the passing of Atlético de Madrid's legendary chairman Hill Sr., Atlético de Madrid's influence in Spanish football has grown.

Even if Atletico Madrid entered the Europa League two years ago, it was only the top six in La Liga. The fans are always concerned about the Champions League, so only Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia have attracted much attention. , Sevilla and other teams, and when it comes to Atletico Madrid, more people think that their debts have been so large that the club is facing bankruptcy.

With the acquisition of Atlético de Madrid in the summer, everything changed.

Atlético de Madrid was acquired by a Chinese company, and many media believe that it will be the beginning of the fall of Atlético de Madrid. Of course, under the general situation of foreign investment in European football, some media also believe that Atlético de Madrid will at least have some money in terms of funding. For the better, but in terms of performance, Spain will always focus on Barcelona and Real Madrid.

With Wansheng determined to coach, everything changed again.

Many people still remember the young Chinese coach who led Manchester City to the top in 2008. Wan Sheng's coaching of Atlético de Madrid was a booster, giving the media and fans who support Atlético de Madrid more confidence.

But even so, no one dared to think that Atletico Madrid could achieve the current results.

Many Atlético de Madrid fans are dreaming!

After more than 30 rounds of the league, Atletico Madrid is still unbeaten and ranked first in the league? Atlético de Madrid doubles Real Madrid and Barcelona?

Now, in the Copa del Rey final, Atletico Madrid leads Barcelona by two goals at halftime?

This is a little too fantastical!

However, everything in front of him told everyone that it was real. Just before the game, the young man said that Atletico Madrid would beat Barcelona to win the Copa del Rey.

A lot of people are not optimistic about Atletico Madrid, even if they beat Barcelona in the league.

But now who dares to say that Barcelona can beat Atletico Madrid to win the Copa del Rey? With two goals behind, there must be something wrong with the mind of the person who said this...

————

The first half ended quickly.

In the last minute, Barcelona launched a fierce attack, but Atletico Madrid defended very tightly and they failed to get a chance.

When the referee blew the final whistle, the score was still 2-0.

After the game, almost all the commentators of the live game were talking about the first half, about the performance of Atletico Madrid, about the goals of Aguero and Forlan, and they were especially surprised by the score, not to mention that they were not optimistic about Atletico Madrid before the game. , Even for two opponents of equal strength, one side scored two goals in half, which is a bit too much.

Two balls can almost decide the outcome of the game!

Only in the first half Atletico Madrid played too well and tried their best to seize the opportunity, while Barcelona was in a dilemma, both in the backcourt and the frontcourt, and their performance was a bit poor.

Some professional football commentators also began to analyze the play and tactics of the two teams.

Atlético de Madrid's fast-break style was analyzed. In front of many football professionals, there are no secrets to any tactics. Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona played against each other, and then they were analyzed.

Atletico Madrid's performance is what surprised everyone.

That's Barcelona!

Playing against Barcelona, ​​you can still lead by two goals in the half... This is incredible!

In the Atlético de Madrid dressing room, the players were talking excitedly. Aguero became the protagonist, and Forlan also became the protagonist. The two scored a goal in the first half.

When Wan Sheng walked into the dressing room, the scene inside was very lively, but he had a cold face.

Wan Sheng is actually quite happy. There is no better situation than a two-goal lead, but as a head coach, he must remind the players not to be careless and take the game seriously.

The first half was good.

Two goals is a considerable advantage, but for Barcelona, ​​two goals behind is not the end, with their offensive ability, it is still possible to catch up.

If the team is careless, it is really possible to lose the game.

Wansheng doesn't want the team to become a supporting role in "Barcelona completes the big reversal", he wants to stifle this possibility to the greatest extent.

So at this time, he must pour cold water.

"You guys did a great job, we were two goals ahead! But, I must repeat, it's only been 45 minutes and Barcelona are more attacking than us, I think you all know that they Ability to score two or more goals in 45 minutes!"

"So we can't think about the victory now, we can't think about the championship, we have to hold on to the last minute! There are 45 minutes left in the game, with the advantage of two goals, we can completely win the victory, provided that you maintain Performance as it should be..."

"I hope at the end of the game, we are the side celebrating the championship, not the side crying..."

Wan Sheng said seriously to everyone.

"No matter what happened to Barcelona, ​​we still insisted on our own style of play in the second half. We had to play with speed and speed up the rhythm, but we should also pay attention to the defense in the backcourt. What I want to emphasize is the speed of retreat. As long as we lose the ball, we must be the first Retreat, pay more attention to the ball behind, Barcelona will probably play better in the second half, they are good at playing the ball behind, which is a test for our defense..."

"I hope everyone can persevere!"

"Championship is at hand!" (To be continued ~^~)
