Chapter 76: A Gambling Attempt

In the 73rd minute of the game, the fourth official raised the substitution card, and Atlético de Madrid made a substitution.

Enter Reyes and enter Mario Suarez.

Reyes trotted out of the court and high-fives Mario Suarez to complete the substitution procedure. Wansheng stretched out his hand from the sidelines and patted Reyes on the back, "Antonio, you did a great job!"

"Thank you boss."

Reyes replied, panting back to the bench.

The media booth and various commentators were talking about Atletico Madrid's substitutions.

Mario Suarez, who just appeared, is not well-known, and his transfer value of more than 1 million euros also shows a lot of problems. At least he is incomparable to a star of the level of Reyes, but in fact, Mali O-Suarez is low-key and low-key, and he still has a great position in the Atlético de Madrid team.

There are many reasons for this.

For example, in terms of playing time, Mario Suarez has a lot more than Reyes. He has become the 'best' substitute on the team's midfield line. Although many games, Mario Suarez's performance has been average. , he can't compare with the top players, but his stable state and comprehensive ability to balance offense and defense make Wansheng appreciate it very much.

In terms of team status, Mario Suarez has an advantage - he was born in the Atlético de Madrid academy.

In fact, Mario Suarez had a record for Atletico Madrid's first team as early as 18 years old, in 2005, but then he moved to Valladolid, Mallorca and other teams until his return last summer. Atletico Madrid.

At that time, Hill considered buying Mario Suarez for this reason. Even if the players from his youth academy are a little bit weaker, they are better than those with slightly stronger and more famous players, because he is better than those who are more famous. I love Atletico Madrid more.

This is Mario Suarez.

A player with a flat performance and a low-key life, who can't be ignored at Atlético de Madrid.

But the media is not optimistic about Atletico Madrid's substitutions. In their hearts, Mario Suarez and Reyes, who scored a goal with his personal ability, cannot be compared at all.

"Atlético made a substitution, Mario Suarez... a defensive midfielder, is this to strengthen the defense?"

Fernandos-Sanchez-Bob wondered.

He is not the only one who thinks this way, many people think so. Many media reporters are dissatisfied with Wansheng. Many media now know that Atlético de Madrid seems to be an offensive football team, but in fact, Their head coach Wan Sheng is a utilitarian conservative football in his bones, especially when playing against a strong team. Let's watch this game, Atletico Madrid defended the whole game.

Strengthen the defense again, what chance does Real Madrid have to tie it!

"Utility!" "Disgusting!" "Damn!"... Various words were added to Wansheng.

On the contrary, the media supporting Atlético de Madrid believe that this substitution is very correct. Reyes is not a player who is good at defending. At the end of the game, it is better to play conservatively with a goal advantage.

Hold on, keep the edge, then Atletico Madrid will have a better chance of knocking out Real Madrid in the second leg.

They all nodded, believing that Wansheng's approach was extremely correct.

As for the unhappy media that supports Real Madrid? Then make them unhappy, we want to see them unhappy!

But in fact, substitutions have nothing to do with tactics, just normal adjustments.

Reyes performed well, but it was just that goal. Other offenses and goals had little to do with Reyes. Overall, Reyes didn’t help the team’s offense much, and he played a major role in defense. On the top, there is hardly much action, plus the game is going on so far, Reyes's physical fitness is approaching the limit, it is understandable to replace Reyes.

Mario Suarez belongs to the type of player who takes both offense and defense into consideration. His offensive ability is not strong, and his defense is not too good, but his comprehensive ability can always bring a lot of help to the team.

So it is normal for Mario Suarez to replace Reyes.

In addition, Wansheng also considered attacking.

Reyes is too strong on offense. This strength also causes him to not cooperate with his teammates too much. His frequent insertions also affect the tactics of this game to some extent.

Originally the team had two midfielders - Raul Garcia and Isco.

Even though Raul Garcia shoulders the task of defense, Atletico Madrid's offense and defense is the whole, and he has the opportunity to intervene in many cases, but the strong Reyes, running affects the whole, Raul Garcia stepped forward, Will repeat the position of Reyes.

Mario Suarez comes on and Raul Garcia gets a chance too.

So Mario Suarez replaced Reyes with no harm. Wansheng already found the problem in the second half, and then compared Mario Suarez and Reyes, and decided to make a substitution.

The game has come to the last minute, and Wansheng also hopes that Mario Suarez can help the team.

————

After Atletico Madrid made their substitutions, many thought they were about to shrink their defense.

The next game mode is that Real Madrid has been attacking, Atletico Madrid is shrinking in defense, looking for few opportunities to fight back, but most of the attacks will definitely belong to Real Madrid.

But it soon became clear that the game was not like that.

When Real Madrid's attack was interrupted by Atletico Madrid midway, Atletico Madrid did not start a fast break, but steadily played short passes, just like they did before.

This time, Raul Garcia steals the ball.

In the face of Real Madrid's frontcourt pressure, he appeared calm and passed the ball to Mario Suarez, who had just played.

Mario Suarez did not stop the ball, but pushed directly to the middle of Maurice.

Morris returned Isco, and Isco pushed Ozil forward.

Atlético de Madrid used the continuous passing to send the ball out of the dangerous area, and the wonderful pass and received coordination also attracted cheers from many fans in the stands.

After receiving the pass, Ozil turned and swiped to the left, leaving Di Maria next to him, and then he kicked the ball to Morris.

Maurice took the ball and Higuain came in.

Maurice just dribbled the ball across the midline, and Real Madrid's tight defense made people breathless, but this time, instead of passing the ball, he broke through Higuain's defense by relying on sudden bursts and small skills at his feet.

Higuain couldn't do anything about Morris' dribbling.

After all, he is not a defensive player. It is very difficult to intercept the breakthrough of technical players. Even a small mistake is enough for Morris to complete the breakthrough, and it is not easy for him to even catch up.

After breaking through Higuain, Morris burst into speed and took it straight forward!

————

Morris suddenly accelerated and dribbled the ball, and Real Madrid's defense suddenly became tense.

Khedira, who came to intercept, was accidentally passed by Morris.

Real Madrid fans are screaming!

Khedira is currently the only defensive midfielder in Real Madrid. After he was broken through, Morris faced the Real Madrid backline directly.

No matter how dangerous the opponent is, Morris wants this effect. After breaking through Khedira, he continues to move forward quickly.

Ramos stepped forward to block.

He and Khedira planned to close the door for Morris, or at least force Morris to pass the ball.

This kind of defensive cooperation between the two players was quite effective. Morris had no choice but to pass the ball. He gave the ball to Ozil who was following up on the other side.

When Real Madrid's Shu Cai just breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Ozil raise his foot to meet the ball and directly push the pass vigorously.

The football flew into the air and landed straight in front of the penalty area.

Aguero!

Aguero was rushing forward, but ran a little too far. Ozil's lob pass was a little inaccurate. If it was replaced by those tall players, he would definitely stop suddenly, swing his heel to hook the ball in front, But Aguero didn't do that.

He kept running forward, in the same direction, and had no intention of stopping.

Just when everyone thought that Aguero was going to miss the ball, the Argentine star suddenly waved his right foot, and his heel had direct contact with the football.

The football was knocked like this, and it turned sideways and flew to the right!

Aerial heel pass!

Everyone was shocked, and there was exclamation in the stands.

This is simply too creative!

Not only creativity, but also very difficult, even more difficult to pass the ball to the correct position, just when everyone thought so, they saw a figure appear in the direction of the football——

Isco!

It's Isco again!

Mourinho jerked up from his seat when he noticed Isco's presence in that position, suddenly realizing he had not been able to read the game.

Why did Isco score just now?

Why does Aguero keep passing the ball instead of relying on his ability to find opportunities to shoot?

At this moment he understood.

This is the arrangement of the Chinese. He must have asked the players to step in and asked Aguero to distribute the ball to his teammates. In other words, Aguero is a tactical center in this game!

Incredible!

Sacrificing such a capable striker in order to give the midfielder a chance, Atletico Madrid's tactics are bold... bold enough!

This young Chinese really trusts his midfielders, even the young Isco is no exception!

Mourinho felt a wry smile.

He feels that he is not wronged at all in losing, and just because of this trust in the players, he is incomparably compared to the other side!

————

Before Real Madrid's penalty area, Isco received a pass from Aguero.

This is a half-altitude ball.

Isco could not shoot the first time, he could only unload the ball with his right foot, which delayed the attacking opportunity.

Real Madrid fans let out a long sigh.

Carvalho rushed up to interfere with Isco. Isco threw the ball to the right. It seemed to be a shot in the turning rhythm, and Carvalho continued to catch up with the block.

But at this moment, Isco suddenly stabbed the ball to the right again. This time, he seemed to want to stagger Carvalho, but Isco's own center of gravity was unstable and he had no chance to continue chasing the ball.

Is it a mistake?

Just when many people breathed a sigh of relief, the next moment they became nervous again, because another figure appeared on the right side of Isco——

Raul Garcia!

Real Madrid suddenly became nervous, Mourinho on the coaching bench suddenly opened his mouth wide, and Wan Sheng clenched his fists tightly.

It is a normal tactical play to plug in the lower back.

But with both lower backs plugged in, it's a gambling-style attempt!

If the ball is suddenly snatched by Real Madrid, then the team's defense is likely to be challenged, but the timing of Raul Garcia's insertion this time is undoubtedly just right.

Raul Garcia found the best chance!

The next thing is simple.

Raul Garcia was unguarded at all, he easily received the ball and rushed directly into the penalty area!

Casillas chose to attack for the first time, but Raul Garcia was very stable. In the face of a single-handed opportunity, he volleyed directly with one kick, leaving Casillas with no choice but to wave his head and look away. Football into the net.

"Goooooooooooal!!!"

"Raul Garcia helped Atletico score the third goal, 1-3! Atletico opened the gap!"

"It's the 84th minute of the game, and Real Madrid has no chance..."
