Chapter 213 The Troubles of Happiness
"Wang, he is a teenager from China. He came to Madrid with Wan Sheng last summer. Many media joked that Wang was Wan Sheng's son, so he could join Atletico. But now, Wang has proved his ability, he Cool judgment in the box and great individual skills helped him score goals."
"1-0, Atletico lead away!"
"Bayern Munich would never have imagined that Atletico Madrid sent a set of substitutes on the road, but they scored the first goal to take the lead..."
In the commentator's words, some disgruntled Bayern Munich fans even booed. It is difficult for them to accept that their favorite team can't play the opponent's second-tier lineup at their home court.
Of course, Bayern Munich were not bad, they just lacked a bit of luck.
In the first half, they suppressed Atletico Madrid for 30 consecutive minutes, but Atletico Madrid's defense was so good that they did not score a goal, but in the second half, it was different, Heynckes chose to replace Schweinsch Tiger, the Bayern general, was greeted with applause by the fans.
With Schweinsteiger, Bayern's midfield was immediately different. They played more flexible and organized. Atlético de Madrid, which had been suppressed for a while, was out of breath. Then, in the 69th minute, Bayern Munich striker Thomas- Muller helped the team score an equalizing goal.
Thomas Muller celebrated excitedly, and the entire Bayern Munich team was relieved.
With the first goal, they believed that there would be a second, and this victory must belong to Bayern, but what they did not expect was that Muller's goal was also the last goal.
Although Atlético Madrid was suppressed, the players did not give up the game. They stuck to the goal and did not let Bayern Munich take a step.
After the game, the most notable was Atlético de Madrid goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo.
Atletico Madrid has three goalkeepers, the main goalkeeper De Gea, the second goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo and the third goalkeeper, the youth team goalkeeper, the three goalkeepers are not young, the biggest Sergio -Asenho was also born in 1989.
Sergio Asenjo started his career with Valladolid's youth team and he quickly showed his talent as one of the club's most talented players.
At the beginning of the 2007-08 season, Asenjo was still playing for the Valladolid B team, which had barely escaped relegation the previous season, and played in the Spanish Football League C. But the poor performances of the first team's two goalkeepers - Loan Butler from Valencia and veteran goalkeeper Alberto - gave Asenjo a chance to make his La Liga debut.
With stable and outstanding performance, in January 2008, Sergio Asenjo signed his first professional contract with the club for a period of three years, with a salary increase and a release clause of 5.5 million euros.
During the summer transfer period, Asenjo renewed his contract with Valladolid again, and the release clause at this time has been increased to 9.6 million euros.
After the excellent performance of the 07-08 season, Asenho won the Golden Ball Award for the goalkeeper position of the third Spanish "Rookie Award", and was selected for the best new star lineup of the season. The Spanish footballer magazine DonBalón has listed a list of the 100 most talented and promising young football players, and his name is also included in the list of superstars such as Cesc Fabregas, Aguero, and Messi. .
Such an outstanding Sergio Asenjo should not become a 'second goalkeeper', but since joining Atletico Madrid in 2009, Asenjo has been suffering from constant injuries. He was recovering from injuries last season and even throughout the year. After arriving at the team, he officially trained with the first team, but the main goalkeeper was already De Gea.
Wansheng still has expectations for Asenjo.
Although De Gea is very good, there should be competition for any position in the team. Asenjo can perform well, which also puts pressure on De Gea.
Such healthy competition is helpful for the team's performance.
In this game, Asenho started on behalf of the team. He was obviously a little excited. You must know that this is the first time he has appeared in an official game since May 2010, and the battle between the Champions League and Bayern Munich started.
In the first half, Asenjo was a little nervous, but fortunately, his teammates performed well. In the second half, Asenjo's ability has been shown, and there is still a surprising performance, especially in the last time, in the face of Bayern Munich's indiscriminate bombardment of the goal, Assen. Huo played quite steadily. In the tense situation of continuous saves at the last time, he did not make a single mistake and helped the team to hold the goal steadily.
Even the German commentator had to praise, "Asenjo's goalkeeping is too stable. This former Spanish genius has slowly regained his form after recovering from injury. If he continues to perform like this, maybe Wansheng will win. It's a headache for who to play."
The goalkeeper is no better than any other position.
Two equally good goalkeepers are incompatible in a team, because goalkeepers are rarely injured, it is easy for them to insist on playing the whole game, and it is difficult for the second goalkeeper of each team to get a chance.
De Gea and Asenjo... two great young goalkeepers, any manager would have a headache for them.
Wansheng is no exception.
This is really a happy trouble!
————
Atletico Madrid's solid defense and goalkeeper Asenho's excellent performance make Bayern Munich have a feeling that they have nowhere to go. They always feel that the team's offense is good, and the coordination is also good, and they can occasionally create threats in front of the goal. , but the football has been unable to enter the goal.
Time passed by minute by minute.
In the anxiety of Bayern Munich fans and the expectations of Atletico Madrid fans, Bayern Munich still failed to break the door of Asenjo's handle in the last minute of the game, and finally the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
"At the end of the game, Bayern Munich drew with Atletico Madrid at home in the end! 1-1, the two teams shook hands."
"This may be a good result. With this point, Atletico Madrid secured the first place in the group ahead of time. Bayern Munich also scored a point, with 8 points in hand, and they also locked in the qualification."
According to the German commentator, it is difficult to arrange the injured hearts of Bayern Munich fans. They are not satisfied with the draw. In their hearts, Bayern Munich must be a stronger team than Atletico Madrid, but they have not won at home and away, not to mention , Atletico Madrid obviously did not give full play in this game. They sent a lot of substitutes to appear, so they could not win. If... just if, Bayern Munich can enter the Champions League final, Atletico Madrid can also enter the Champions League final, then The final at the Allianz Arena seems to have become the home ground of Atlético de Madrid, because they have enough psychological advantages.
That's unimaginable!
At the end of the game, the "1:1" on the scoreboard at the Allianz Arena was like a satire for Bayern Munich, but no matter what the fans thought, they could not change the end of the game. They could only accept the draw. The only gratification was that, After this game, Bayern Munich also locked the qualification in advance.
Bayern Munich regret the draw.
Head coach Heynckes talked about the game after the game and praised Atletico Madrid's performance. He was mainly suitable to praise Atletico Madrid's players, such as Isco, Wang Qiuming, and the excellent goalkeeper Asenjo. Talking about his own Bayern Munich, "Bayern has been solving some problems since last season, and now we have solved most of them, and there are still some problems, but I believe that Bayern is very strong now, we are just missing a little bit. It's just luck."
Later, a reporter asked about Bayern Munich's goals in the Champions League, Heynckes said without hesitation, "This year's Champions League final is held at the Allianz Arena, which is our home court, so as the home team, our goal is nothing. Champions League winner without a doubt!"
In the simultaneous interview, Wan Sheng’s words were completely opposite to Heynckes’ words. He mainly talked about his team and showed absolute confidence, “Our players have played very well, and even I didn’t expect this to happen. Excellent, everyone played beautifully and if I had to rate it, I would give all the players full marks."
A reporter also asked about Atletico Madrid's goal in the Champions League, Wan Sheng said with a smile, "The goal of the Champions League? I didn't think about it, but we try to go as far as possible."
This somewhat conservative sentence, compared to Heynckes' "no doubt he is the Champions League champion", has the opposite meaning. Many media feel strange. Generally speaking, Wansheng is the one who is 'arrogant'. Will not hesitate to say the goal of the championship, Heynckes is the conservative one.
Now... it's the other way around!
Some media said with self-confidence, "This is Wansheng's mature performance. In terms of coaching the team, he has grown a lot than before."
But in fact, Wansheng's goal is of course the championship, but as a head coach, there are many things to consider. First of all, the Champions League final is not played at the Calderon Stadium. He doesn't have to say 'win the championship'. More importantly, Atletico Madrid is currently fighting on the third line, and the pressure is still relatively high, especially when they are facing the Madrid derby, they must be low-key, otherwise it will cause a lot of pressure on the players.
There is absolutely no advantage to that, only disadvantage.
Therefore, in front of the media, Wansheng would not directly say that the goal is to win the Champions League, but it will be different when it comes to the league. Atletico Madrid is obviously here to defend the title. Everyone knows this, and it doesn’t make sense for him to keep a low profile.
In another match in Group A at the same time, Naples hosts Manchester City. This is the competition between the two teams for the third place in the group. Only the team that wins the third place in the group will be eligible to participate in the Europa League in January next year.
In the evaluation of the German "Transfer Market", the Naples team is worth only 190 million euros. Manchester City's striker star is worth far more than this figure, and the team's worth is approaching 550 million euros.
The decisive battle between 190 million euros and 550 million euros!
De Manchester City undoubtedly has an absolute advantage in terms of staffing, but in the end, no one expected that Naples defeated Manchester City at the San Paolo Stadium!
Manchester City has four players on the attacking line.
"France Football" assesses David Silva, who is worth 50 million pounds, Balotelli, who is transferred to 25 million pounds, Aguero, who is 'standard king', who is 63 million pounds, and Dzeko, who is 27 million pounds. The total personal worth is 165 million pounds, even if the exchange rate after the depreciation of the pound is converted, it is 180 million euros.
Such a strong striker is enough to destroy any team's resistance in the Premier League.
However, these 4 stars worked together, but were defeated by one person in the game. This person was the top center of the Naples team, Cavani.
In the 17th minute of the battle, Ravec took a corner kick. In the densely populated penalty area, Cavani nodded and rubbed the ball forward, and the ball flew into the near corner.
This is the perfect explosiveness, grabbing skills and personal ability. Interestingly, it is Balotelli and Dzeko who are defending Cavani.
Under the premise of a very small angle, Cavani made Manchester City's two "Mr. Jin Yuan" miserable. In the 49th minute, Dosena made a low pass from the left side of the penalty area. Manchester City 4 people guarded the penalty area, but Cavani found an unguarded neutral. Whenever Cavani made a slight adjustment to stop the ball, he would pounce on the gesture. Interference, but Cavani didn't stop the ball at all, and directly shot with his right foot for the first time, and Joe Hart, who hit the ball, was caught off guard.
In Manchester City's star-studded striker, Cavani dominates!
Manchester City also had a chance to score. Balotelli's must-have header, Dzeko's many grabs, and Aguero, who came off the bench, also got the chance to shoot in the penalty area, but in terms of the striker's ability to seize the opportunity, card Varney has taught many stars a lesson.
The comment of "Slow Motion" after the game was very interesting, "With the striker's better ability to seize opportunities and stronger personal ability, Naples won over efficiency."
Napoli dare to say that they have a better striker in front of the star-studded Manchester City?
That's how it is from the game.
Some people reflect, "If the striker formed by Manchester City's big-name stars is worth 180 million euros, how much is Cavani worth?"
There are already a lot of media linking Cavani with Batistuta back then, and in the European transfer market, even giants such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Inter Milan have continued to interact with Cava. Ni has a scandal.
Naples President De Laurentiis said frankly that "Naples will not be able to keep Cavani in the future", but, "Want to buy Cavani? Come up with 50 million euros, and I may be interested in sitting down and talking."
And then... Cavani's brother came to talk!
Cavani's brother's name is Fernando, and he is also Cavani's agent. Just the day after the fifth round of the Champions League Group A, Wansheng received a call from the self-proclaimed "Cavani agent".
Wan Sheng took a long time to react before recovering. Is this guy Cavani's agent?
What does he contact him for? (To be continued ~^~)
