Chapter 176 The First Champion
Atlético de Madrid's counterattack was too fast to react to.
When it was discovered that the score had been overwritten, some in the audience didn't notice that the fans didn't understand what was going on.
After Barcelona sent a touchline ball, full-back Abidal made a mistake, Ozil pushed the ball to Falcao, and Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack.
Falcao dribbled the ball very fast. It only took him 6 or 7 seconds to dribble the ball to a dangerous position. After that, he shoved the ball straight into the penalty area. Diego Costa received the ball and hit the goal. The whole counterattack process, It's only ten seconds together.
In just ten seconds, Atletico Madrid switched from defence to attack, launching a quick counter-attack and sending the ball into the Barcelona goal.
The referee's reaction was a bit slower because he couldn't keep up with Falcao and waited for Diego Costa to put the ball in the goal, before he even ran into the penalty area, or the assistant referee waved the flag. Goal is valid and arms outstretched towards the centre circle.
"It's so fast!"
Central TV commentator Han Qiaosheng couldn't help but marvel, "Atletico Madrid, a wave of counterattacks! In just ten seconds, they scored a goal! Many fans just turned their heads to talk to their friends, but then raised their heads, football has arrived in Barcelona. In the goal!"
"This is the counterattack of a world-class team! It's too fast to react! Barcelona was just an oversight, but it became a fatal mistake!"
"Abidal, the French defender could never have imagined that he just didn't have the strength to unload the ball, and it turned into a goal for Atletico Madrid. But I can't blame him, even if he is a great star. There will be mistakes, and Abidal's mistakes are just unfortunate times..."
Han Qiaosheng's rebuttal for Abidal doesn't make much sense either.
The entire Barcelona team was annoyed. Abidal was the one who blamed himself the most. Iniesta also felt that he was throwing the ball a little harder, while other players thought that there was a problem with the team's defense. It's normal to catch the ball, the defense is no problem and the opponent can't score at all.
Regardless of what each player thinks, they have to accept the reality of conceding the goal - they are already two goals behind!
If they are two goals behind in the first half, with confidence in the team, Barcelona players still have the confidence to catch up.
But now the game has gone on for 78 minutes, and even adding stoppage time, the time is less than 15 minutes.
Two goals in 15 minutes?
"It would be good to be able to score one!" Many players thought.
This is not pessimism.
From the beginning of the game to the present, Barcelona has been attacking continuously and only scored one goal. In the remaining 15 minutes, let them score two goals, so naturally they have no confidence.
Seeing Atletico Madrid's goal, Barcelona coach Guardiola was also stunned. He was surprised at the performance of Atletico Madrid's players. Just now Atletico Madrid's counterattack is coming to an extreme. Even Barcelona is difficult to play at that speed. Falcao's pass is even more exquisite. He has some understanding of why the Colombian player is worth as much as 40 million euros.
Guardiola is starting to worry about the new season.
He has always believed that Barcelona's lineup and strength are better than Atletico Madrid, and the advantage in the frontcourt is also the most obvious, but look at Falcao's performance... Maybe Barcelona's advantage is only in fame?
Falcao is not very famous, because he has been playing for Porto club before. Porto is a Portuguese league team. Fans of the five major European leagues, or fans of the world do not know the Portuguese Super League. Porto has a good strength and can participate in European competitions, but Their players are not well known either.
The fact that Porto's players can sell for 40 million euros is quite remarkable, which actually shows that Falcao is a player of the top quality in the world.
David Villa is also worth 40 million euros, but he was the top scorer in La Liga before and helped the Spanish national team win the world championship. When David Villa joined Barcelona, he was inseparable with Falcao. On the same day, in other words, under the same fame, Falcao is much more valuable than David Villa.
Thinking about it...it's terrifying!
With Falcao, Ozil, another young Belgian teenager, Kevin De Bruyne, and the excellent striker Diego Costa, is Atletico Madrid's frontcourt really worse than Barcelona's? ?
In Guardiola's sigh, many media also began to criticize his commanding ability, which is compared with Wansheng.
Before Barcelona had an advantage, Wansheng chose to make a substitution. When Falcao played, many media believed that Atletico Madrid should play more conservatively and it was incorrect to strengthen the attack, but in the end Atletico Madrid took the lead in scoring.
"This is Wansheng, his command is always unexpected, but it can bring amazing results!"
What about Guardiola?
Barcelona fell behind again, and Guardiola also stood up to let the team strengthen the offensive. At that time, many media agreed with Guardiola's command, but Barcelona lost the ball again...
Some football commentators are deeply depressed!
They are football commentators, and they eat by commenting on the game, and commenting on Wansheng's substitutions and adjustments proved to be wrong. That's all, they can say, "Wansheng always surprises."
now what?
Commenting on Pep Guardiola's coping strategy turned out to be wrong again, it's okay to be wrong one time, they're a little pissed off the second time.
So they began to criticize Guardiola's ability to command on the spot, "Barcelona should pay more attention to defense!"
"Atletico Madrid is by no means weaker than Barcelona! Barcelona pays too much attention to offense, and as a result, they can't take care of both ends! Atletico Madrid only used one counterattack, and Barcelona collapsed!"
"This game proves that there is a big gap between Guardiola's coaching ability and Wansheng!"
"The outcome is determined! Losing the Spanish Super Cup, Guardiola should think about his coaching problem when he goes back!"
"Barcelona are very strong, they lose on the coaching ability..."
If Guardiola knew about the media's comments, he would probably vomit blood.
In the situation just now, everyone knew that Barcelona had to attack and maintain the score until the end of the game, and they lost.
Steady, what's the use? The important thing is to fight for victory.
Of course, the media don't care what Guardiola thinks, they are criticizing Guardiola to vent the embarrassment of continuous comments.
Soon the game on the field continued.
Barcelona continued to maintain the offensive, hoping to seize the last time, but Atletico Madrid's defense was very stable, and the occasional counterattack made Barcelona hurriedly respond.
10 minutes passed quickly.
The game has come to the last moment, the score is still 3 to 1, Atletico Madrid won with two goals, some fans who support Atletico Madrid have already started to celebrate the first championship of the season in advance.
Just in the second minute of stoppage time, Barcelona played a gorgeous offensive, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi formed a triangle offensive, and consecutive passes broke through the Atletico Madrid defense.
After that, Messi turned his back to Godin, picked up the ball and forcibly turned around and volleyed!
Godin couldn't react in time, couldn't stop it, and rushed past him with the football stuck in his eyes!
"Look at this ball! Messi shoots!"
"Look at..."
Football swoops into the far corner!
De Gea was on guard in front of the goal. He didn't expect Messi to carry Godin hard and kick a shot with such power and angle, but when the football rushed over, De Gea still judged the direction, and he slammed. Super far corner pounced.
While in the air, stretch your hands forward.
Touched!
In a few moments, De Gea went through a lot, and finally his hands touched the ball and the ball was dragged out and flew into the baseline against the post.
"Messi! Great shot!"
"But De Gea, the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper, was even better, he managed to knock down the must-goal!"
With the narrator's shout, many people began to applaud.
Messi's performance just now was quite brilliant, but it's a pity that he completely made De Gea a wedding dress. His shot was quite threatening, but as De Gea saved the ball, all the praise went to De Gea.
After that, Barcelona sent the ball, the football didn't fly high, and De Gea took it off with both hands.
At this time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
————
"The whole game is over! At the National Bird's Nest Stadium, after 90 minutes of confrontation, Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona 3-1 and won the 2011 Spanish Super Cup!"
"Congratulations to them!"
With the shouts of the commentator, the fans in the audience cheered, and as far away as Spain, there were also many fans who were watching the game on TV and said that they could not go to the scene, but they should not be enthusiastic.
When the referee blew the final whistle, many Madrid fans jumped up excitedly, toasted and drank and hugged everyone around them.
"Another championship! I dare say that the team will perform better next time!"
"We can participate in the Champions League in the new season!"
"Wan Sheng will definitely lead the team to good results! I'm so excited, I don't even dare to think about it!"
"Haha! Now look at what the grandsons of Real Madrid have to say!"
"Champion, great!"
"..."
This is the fourth Spanish Super Cup champion in the history of Atlético de Madrid, and the last time they won the championship was back in 1985. How they won the championship at that time was not affected by many old fans.
Most of the fans, it was the first time they saw Atletico Madrid win the Spanish Super Cup, and their excitement can be imagined.
At the final award ceremony, Captain Morris raised the trophy on behalf of the team, and the fans cheered.
Morris also specially handed the trophy to Wang Qiuming and asked Wang Qiuming to show it to the fans. Although Wang Qiuming did not appear in the game, he was the only Chinese player at Atletico Madrid.
At the moment of winning the championship, in the face of a large number of Chinese fans, Wang Qiuming should represent the team to win the cup. (To be continued ~^~)
