Chapter 233 The Trouble of the Left
On January 8th, La Liga ushered in the 18th round, Atletico Madrid challenged Malaga away.
This is the first league game after Christmas.
La Liga teams are gearing up to defeat their opponents, and Atletico Madrid, which has attracted much media attention, played very hard at La Rosaleda Stadium.
Málaga are not easy teams to deal with.
Unlike most other small clubs in La Liga, Málaga has strong economic strength. In the winter of last year, Málaga was acquired by Qatar Sheikh Alsani, and then began to expand wildly. Now it is called "La Liga" by the media. Manchester City", from last year to the present, they have successively introduced famous players such as Martin De Michelis, Julio Cesar Baptista, Enzo Maresca, etc., which has triggered La Liga and even European football. vibration.
Last summer, the most notable deal was the signing of Dutch veteran Van Nistelrooy.
Van Nistelrooy is 35 years old. The former king of the small penalty area has no plans to retire. The Spanish media revealed that Van Nistelrooy got a "1+1" contract, signed for one year first, if in the new season If the performance meets the contract requirements, then Van Nistelrooy will automatically renew his contract for one year.
This is Van Nistelrooy's return to Spain after 18 months.
In January 2010, he signed an 18-month contract with Hamburg and left Real Madrid. After the end of the season, Van Nistelrooy, whose contract expired, did not stay in Hamburg, and he finally got to join Malaga. Opportunity.
With the addition of Van Nistelrooy, Málaga is even more powerful. So far this season, they are fifth in the league and have a good chance of competing with the former Valencia for a place in the Champions League.
Before Christmas, Málaga had just hit a three-game winning streak and a five-round unbeaten run.
Such a powerful Málaga is definitely not easy to deal with. Atletico Madrid saw the strength of Málaga. Although the main players of the team came out, they did not take much advantage of the La Rosaleda Stadium.
In the 37th minute, Van Niere, who was in great state, took the lead in helping Malaga knock on the door of Asenjo's handle.
From then on until the second half, Atletico Madrid maintained their offensive suppression, but Malaga's frequent counterattacks still caused a lot of threat to the team's defense.
This Malaga is really good!
In the 71st minute of the game, Wansheng chose to replace Wang Qiuming, hoping to help the team equalize the score with Wang Qiuming's luck, but it was not Wang Qiuming who helped the team in the end, but the left striker Ozil.
Ozil did not bring a goal, he brought a penalty.
The price of this penalty kick was that the German star was carried off the field on a stretcher. When this scene appeared, Wan Sheng was in a hurry on the sidelines. The defensive action of the Malaga player Demichelis was too rude, and Ozil jumped. When fighting for the top, he became a trapeze and fell to the ground.
That shot looks horrible!
Many people are worried about Ozil, who used a serious injury to help Atletico Madrid get a penalty.
J-Rodriguez kicked the ball and helped the team draw with Málaga 1-1, but Wansheng's mind has long been out of the game. After the game, he directly accused Demichelis in the face of the media , "He's a butcher!"
"I couldn't believe it at the time, I was afraid that Mesut would never get up again! What is a red card? He should be blocked and suspended! We will appeal to the Spanish Football Federation!"
Next time the reporter asked what else, Wan Sheng didn't have the heart to stay any longer.
He needs to know Ozil's situation as soon as possible.
The entire Atlético de Madrid team returned to the club by special plane, while Wan Sheng and Diamares stayed in the Malaga hospital to wait. There is also some displacement of the peripheral muscles caused by the impact."
This conclusion also means that Ozil does not have to think about returning to the game for three months.
The staff of Atlético de Madrid hurriedly arranged for Ozil's transfer to a hospital, and was about to return to Madrid for the formal operation. Ozil's agent also came, but Wansheng followed the whole process and kept holding Ozil's hand. , said seriously, "Mesut, don't worry, you'll be fine! Trust me!"
Ozil nodded slightly, with a clear look of worry on his face.
Injuries are the biggest enemy of professional players. Serious injuries can affect their careers. When Ozil is at his best, he is the best and most stable player in the team. He is even expected to compete with C-Ronaldo and May. The best player in the Western Competitive League, he is also a strong contender for the World Footballer of the Year, provided that he continues to play consistently and well.
But the injury now makes everything impossible.
This blow is big enough.
With such a serious injury, it is optimistic to estimate that it will take three months to recover, so after he recovers from the injury, can he regain his form and continue his previous performance?
Wan Sheng was also very worried.
He has the ability to make Ozil recover faster after the operation, but there is no way to treat his mental problems. If the injury leaves Ozil with psychological trauma, it will definitely affect his performance after recovery.
These are all things to consider.
That night, the Spanish and even the world media reported Ozil's injury. The unhappy injury also worried everyone, and many people criticized Demicellis.
The Argentine player's defensive actions have always been criticized. For his foul on Ozil, the referee showed a red card without any hesitation. One can imagine how serious the situation was at that time.
The Spanish Football Association has set up a special investigation team to analyze the conflict and said, "We will reserve the right to impose additional penalties on Demichelis."
Then in the evening, the results came out, and Demichelis was suspended for an additional five games.
Wansheng is still dissatisfied with the decision of the Spanish Football Association, "An additional five-match ban? So what? Ozil will lie in the hospital for two months! At least two months, he may have to miss all games this season, and that Guy just got suspended for a few games?"
His expression looked rather dissatisfied.
But Wan Sheng also knew in his heart that this was the final result.
It is impossible for the Spanish Football Association to suspend a player for a long time because of a serious foul. No matter how to appeal, it will be suspended for a few more games at most, which is irrelevant at all. Maybe Aguirre, the Málaga coach, will have a headache and the defense is missing a general, but compared with Ozil's serious injury, it is nothing at all.
After Ozil was injured, Wansheng was able to replace him with other players. But Ozil is the best player on the left. No matter how good other players are on the field, it is difficult to get on Ozil.
On January 13, in the second round of the fifth round of the Spanish King's Cup, Atletico Madrid appeared in a weak position on the left, and the starting striker was Diego Costa.
Diego Costa proved unfit to play on the left, and he also made a few small mistakes to kick the ball out of bounds.
In the second half, Wansheng chose to replace Isco and let Isco play the left striker.
On this road, Isco performed much better than Diego Costa, at least there were no major mistakes, Isco's offensive desire is also very strong, and his personal ability is not comparable to Ozil, but at least the left side is still Flexibility to kick.
The final game ended 1-1.
With a 3-0 home game in the first leg, Atletico Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao to get close to the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.
Three days later, in the 19th round of the league, Atletico Madrid faced Villarreal at home, and Isco continued to start as a left forward.
In this game, Wansheng found a problem.
Isco made the left flank more flexible, and his offensive power did not weaken much, but the defense on the left flank also became a problem. When Ozil played, he ran back and forth with rich experience, making the left flank defense also very good. Stable, Atletico Madrid has almost no defensive line at the front of the left, and Villarreal also used the empty space to continuously impact Isco all the way, and it was easy to send the ball to the Atletico Madrid half.
"There must be a player who is excellent in attack and defense behind Isco!"
In Atlético de Madrid's 433 formation, the left midfielder has never been taken seriously, because Ozil in front is good enough, and it is enough to arrange for him to cooperate.
It's different now.
After losing Ozil, the left side of the midfield has also become a problem. Isco can serve as a left striker, but he must also arrange a 'behind guarantee' to make the left side attack and defense worry-free.
Atlético de Madrid midfielder is full of talents, but Raul Garcia and Kevin De Bruyne are good at playing on the right, Mario Suarez is good in defense, but his offensive support ability is a problem, and it is because of As such, Mario Suarez has struggled to get much playing time.
After careful consideration, Wan Sheng chose to replace Maurice.
Recently, the core of the team's midfield is J-Rodriguez. After J-Rodriguez performed well, Morris can rest more, as long as he plays in important games.
Compared with Morris, Wansheng is more inclined to exercise J-Rodriguez.
It's different now.
The left side needs to be supplemented, and Morris is the best choice. He is an all-rounder in the middle and frontcourt, and he can perform very well in any position.
Wansheng also realized Ozil's huge role in the team.
It was not so obvious before, but after Ozil was injured, the team's left-sided problems appeared one by one. If other generals such as Maurice and J-Rodriguez were injured, the team's 433 formation would be all over the place. There is no way to stick to it, only changing to 442 is enough insurance.
The 442 formation is also good, but the offensive ability is still worse.
This game can be seen.
Under the pressure of Atlético de Madrid's 433 formation, Villarreal had no chance at all. Although they used Atlético de Madrid to defend from the left, they passed the ball across the center line several times, but they only passed through the center line. For more than a few minutes, they also had a pitiful three shots, none of which threatened the goal.
The offensive ability of the 433 formation is also very strong. Atletico Madrid scored 5 goals in 70 minutes.
Villarreal had no chance at all.
After Maurice played, Atletico Madrid also became stable on the left, and Villarreal had no chance. In the 79th and 85th minutes, Atletico Madrid scored two more goals with the team's exquisite cooperation.
The final game ended 7-0.
"After Ozil was injured, Atletico Madrid used a 7-0 slaughter to announce their amazing strength and state!" "Aspen" reported excitedly.
————
After the game against Villarreal, there is good news for Atletico Madrid, Thiago Silva is fully recovered.
Thiago Silva underwent a physical examination at the club. After a detailed examination, the team doctor determined that Thiago Silva has fully recovered and is ready to play for Atletico Madrid again.
"It's a few days faster than expected. It seems that those two big guys are very useful."
Thiago Silva was also surprised.
The doctor's conclusion was that the waist sprain is not serious and can be exercised properly, but it will take at least two weeks to fully recover and re-enter the competition. I did not expect that he will fully recover in less than ten days.
"Really the role of those two big guys?" Thiago Silva grinned.
Thinking back on doing that kind of action in front of all his teammates for a week in a row, Thiago Silva feels extremely ashamed and angry. Even for quick recovery, that kind of action is really not very elegant.
Thiago Silva has already thought about it before.
If it didn't work at all, he would definitely find a dark and windy night, sneak into the club's training ground, and smash the two so-called 'XH-1 Resurgents' with his own hands, in order to relieve his anger.
Good thing it's useful...
The 'XH-1 Resurgent' successfully saved his life.
Wan Sheng was also satisfied with the effect of the 'XH-1 Reincarnator'. He did not set up a recovery training task for Thiago Silva, just wanted to see the actual effect of the 'XH-1 Reincarnate'.
The result is not bad.
If the recovery training task of the football training master system is used, Thiago Silva can recover almost a week earlier, and the shortening of a week must be obvious, and the recovery using the 'XH-1 resurrection' is only shortened by a few sky.
Relying on the player attribute data of the Soccer Training Master System, Wansheng made a slight estimate, which shortened the recovery time by four days.
Compared with the recovery training task, the recovery effect is almost 50% off.
This is to be expected.
The football training master system is completely divorced from reality, and the basis must be scientific, but it is not completely scientific. The 'XH-1 Reviver' is completely a medical technology product.
This accelerated recovery effect is already incredible.
In the future, the team can use the recovery training mission to carry out recovery training for the players together with the 'XH-1 reviver', so that the injured players will definitely recover faster.
While Wansheng is rejoicing at the faster recovery of future players, at a medical institute in the United States, the efficacy of the 'XH-1 Reviver' has begun to cause shock. (~^~)
