Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth IX, the Final Fight
Got a lucky penalty, which made Atletico soldiers ecstatic! The first penalty shooter this season was originally Mandzukic, but he took a total of six penalty kicks, but only scored three. The success rate is really not high. Therefore, after Torres returned during the winter transfer period, he became the team's first penalty shooter.
This penalty was made by Torres, and it was really good that he scored the penalty.
At this point Torres stood in front of the ball, he was very excited. Since he spent a bad few years at Chelsea, his shooter spirituality has almost been worn out; and in half a season in AC Milan, he also performed poorly. However, since returning to Atletico Madrid, the blood of the shooter in his body has boiled again. He has scored consecutive goals recently and is in good condition. If this penalty is scored, then Atletico Madrid will hold an away goal, which is very critical to the quarter-finals of the two rounds!
Now Torres has begun to fantasize about helping Atletico Madrid reach the semi-finals, finals, and finally win the European Champions Cup!
"This is the last chance of the game. Atletico Madrid's penalty kick is extremely precious! Torres, who returned from AC Milan this winter, has become the hope of Atletico Madrid. He will help Atletico Madrid take away a victory from the away game. To score a goal?"
"De Gea standing in front of Manchester United's goal is waving his arms, ready to save the ball. Can he hold the last line of Manchester United's defense?"
"Torres run up...kick! The ball hit the post! It bounced off the baseline!!!"
"Manchester United escaped! Just now De Gea jumped to the right, but Torres' free throw went to the left. If it was within the range of the goal frame, the goal would undoubtedly be scored! But Torres kicked the ball to the left. A great opportunity was missed!"
Old Trafford, which escaped unharmed, had a false alarm, and the home fans shouted frantically again.
"There is still time! Go for the goal!"
"Fuck the Spaniard! Win the game!"
At this time, Jin Taige on the sidelines was also yelling loudly at the players: "Press up! Win this game!"
And when he lost the chance to score, Simeone, who was on the coaching bench of the visiting team, was also a little annoyed. He also yelled at the players of Atletico Madrid: "Attack! Fight! Fight with them!"
In the last ten minutes of the game, the players on both sides suddenly opened up their play styles. The two teams played each other's offense and defense, and the pace of the game was very fast. However, the physical and mental conditions of the players on both sides are already at the end of their battles. In addition to the last 3 minutes of stoppage time, neither side was able to break through the opponent's goal.
The final score of the game was fixed at 0-0. The head coaches of the two teams were not satisfied with the result. They expressed their views at the press conference.
Simeone frowned and said: "We were unlucky in this game. We should have scored the last penalty."
And Kintag is still full of hope for his team's promotion prospects: "We both had a lot of opportunities in this game, especially the two penalty kicks. Although it is a pity that we did not win the opponent, but being able to seal the opponent, let them have no chance Taking the away goal is not bad. I believe that in the next game, we will be able to beat Atletico Madrid and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League!"
Although Jin Taige swears in his mouth at the press conference, his heart is very low. Without a win at home, away games are really hard to play. But for Kintag, his desire for the Champions League championship is undeniable. Not to mention the second round at the Calderon Stadium, even if he is at the bottom of hell, he must pass by!
However, Kintag doesn't have much energy to think about the second round of the game for the time being, because the next Champions League game is six days later, and there is an important game in the middle-the 33rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United to Stanford Bridge challenge Chelsea. This will be the third clash between Manchester United and Chelsea this season. In the ninth round of the Premier League and the League Cup final, Manchester United defeated Mourinho's team 2-1. They have a certain advantage against Chelsea this season.
But this time is different. This game is the sixth game of Kintag's eight-match suspension, and Kintag is still unable to sit on the coaching bench of the visiting team at Stamford Bridge. The Chelsea club seemed very generous in this game. They vacated one of the best private rooms at Stamford Bridge and reserved it for Kintag. Before the game, Mourinho even came to the private room to greet Jin Taige.
Recently, Chelsea topped the Premier League standings, so Mourinho was in a very good mood. He came to the private room, greeted two FA officials, and then chatted with Kim Tiger with a smile: "Tiger, sit down It must be uncomfortable here, right? I can understand you, because I often deal with these two friends."
During Mourinho's years of coaching in the Premier League, he has received a lot of suspensions.
Kintag looked at Mourinho who was smiling all over his face. He felt irritable, but he didn't reach out to hit the smiling man. He shook his head: "Jose, if it weren't for Manchester United's losing streak during this period, I believe you wouldn't be so happy."
Mourinho shrugged: "You're right, it's true. Now that Chelsea can secure the top spot, it has a lot to do with your suspension. It seems that my Premier League title this season is ours."
When Jin Taige heard this, his teeth itch even more: "Now there are still several games before the end of the league, and the outcome is yet to be known. Don't be too happy!"
Mourinho still didn't care, he decided to do it to the end: "Tiger, look at the current point gap between our two teams, Manchester United can't catch up with Chelsea no matter what. And let alone Manchester United, even if it is ranked In front of you, Manchester City and Arsenal, I didn't pay attention to it, and my first league title after returning to Chelsea is about to come."
Kintag looked back at the two FA officials: "If I play Mourinho now, will my ban be extended?"
The two FA officials immediately became very nervous: "Coach Tiger, you have to calm down..."
"Hahahaha!" Mourinho laughed, "Two guys, take it easy, Coach Tiger is just joking with you."
After saying this, Mourinho stared closely at Jin Taige in front of him. At this time, he put away his teasing expression and became serious: "I understand, you must be very unconvinced now. Losing a losing streak, eventually losing the league title, anyone else would be very upset. But it doesn’t matter, although Chelsea beat Manchester United this season, we will fight again next year, and we will see who wins the league title by this time next year!”
