There is a belief called football

Chapter 571 Home game against Atletico Madrid ([-])
On the football field, players will wear spikes in order to prevent slipping, but there are also disadvantages in wearing spikes, that is, greater resistance and more strenuous running.

Simeone’s decision was based on the situation on the field after the first half. At that time, half of the field was still covered with snow, but after a 15-minute intermission, Allianz’s modern heating facilities were fully activated. Although the snow was still quite heavy, the lawn was no longer white.

Under such circumstances, Atletico Madrid players put on spikes, but Bayern players did not, and Atletico Madrid suffered a lot.

The Bayern players stepped up their running in the second half, and even the back line was pushed up to the center circle, just like half-time offensive and defensive training.

But Atletico Madrid's defense is like a piece of raw iron, getting denser with hammering. When Atletico Madrid's 11 players retracted within 30 meters of their own half, Bayern's offense encountered a lot of trouble.

*****
After halftime, Boateng looked left and right, but couldn't find a good passing line, Li Qiao, Costa, Muller.

Although it can be seen, it may not be easy to pass the ball. This time Bayern has had the ball for more than 3 minutes, and it is unreasonable not to complete the attack.

So Boateng made a long pass and went directly to Lewandowski in the penalty area. The ball flew slowly to the penalty area. Although the distance was far, Boateng's long pass was accurate.

In order to suppress Lewand, Godin opened his hands. In this case, the two people can easily get mixed up without distinguishing each other.

Soon the referee blew the whistle, and the Bayern fans coaxed, thinking it was a penalty kick, but then seeing the referee's gestures, the ball belonged to Atletico Madrid, and Lewandowski should have fouled.

Lewand was upset, cursed, and ran back.

In the second half, the ugly Atletico Madrid became more and more obvious. They basically did not attack and put on a defensive posture. Allianz fans booed everywhere, calling Atletico Madrid not a thing.

"You might as well just pile up all 11 people in front of the door",
"You might as well dismantle the goal and pull it away",
"Is that what you play called football?"
There were all kinds of scolding in the stands, but Simeone was unmoved. With the full activation of the ground heat in the stadium in the second half, Simeone can now enjoy the snow scene comfortably.

"so beautiful",
Looking at the snow, Simeone stretched out his hand to hold a snowflake, and the snowflake quickly melted into small drops of water in Simeone's palm. Then Simeone clenched his fist, and through his fist, Simeone looked at his disciple.

He knew that as long as the score of 1 to 1 can be maintained, the possibility of Bayern trying to make a comeback in "Calderon" is very slim.

While Simeone was looking at the snow, his gaze was attracted by a person nearby. After the exchange of venues in the second half, Li Qiao, who was originally at the far end in the first half, was now in front of Simeone.

It turned out that a pass was too powerful, but Li Qiao was still chasing desperately, and the direction of the ball happened to be directed at Simeone.

After trying his best, Li Qiao still failed to catch the ball. After the ball went out of the sideline, Simeone stepped on it. This is Atletico Madrid's sideline ball.

When Simeone kicked the ball to Juanfran and was about to let him throw a sideline ball, Li Qiao stretched out his foot and intercepted Simeone's pass in order to delay the opponent. This time, the unnecessary interception caused an uproar at Atletico Madrid.

And Simeone is very generous. He admires Li Qiao's personality of fighting for every ball, much like himself when he was still playing football. He waved his hand to signal the players to sit back, but Li Qiao's extra action still caused him a yellow card.

*****
Sammer asked Bayern to take advantage of one person in the second half, but the problem was that the space in the frontcourt was compressed too small, and Bayern players simply didn't have much room to run.

Atletico Madrid's iron seems to be elastic. Whenever Bayern's attack reaches a certain distance, it will be bounced back by Atletico Madrid.

This is the best defense. Atletico Madrid are not being beaten passively. They are looking for opportunities. Summer has to admit that Simeone has been trained very strong in La Liga in the past few years. He still remembers a year in the Champions League.

Sammer saw that Boateng had already run to the position of the midfielder, which made him a little worried. If Atletico Madrid caught a chance to counterattack, the consequences would be bad.

The Atletico Madrid players were very proud when they saw Boateng rushing forward. They knew that this was an opportunity, and the opportunity came soon!

Boateng staggered a little while dribbling the ball, and the ball went out a little bit bigger. It was this little bit that made Atletico Madrid's midfielder feel like a shark smelling blood.

Saul ran forward after stealing the ball. Now only Lahm and Alaba are still in the backcourt of Bayern, and Saul is extremely fast. More importantly, Griezmann is following up on the other side. The frontcourt is 2 for 2. For Atletico Madrid, it can be described as a godsend opportunity.

Saul has been looking up and watching, his idea is to pass the ball to Griezmann with the outside instep, the latter can shoot, and Lahm in front of him, he doesn't pay attention at all.

When Saul was looking around, he suddenly felt something tripped under his feet, and then he fell on a big horse. He turned his head and saw that it was Li Qiao, "Where did this guy come from?"
In fact, Li Qiao's ability to interpret the game is very strong now. He saw Boateng staggering on the soles of his feet just now, and he knew it was dangerous. So when Saul stole the ball, he followed Saul and chased it back.

Simeone praised this defense in his heart. This is Simeone himself when he was young. At that time, Simeone was always the first player to chase back in the Argentine national team.

Just when everyone was impressed by Li Qiao's beautiful defense, Li Qiao was not intoxicated. He dribbled the ball in the opposite direction, almost copying Saul's dribbling route just now, but in the opposite direction!

"What is he going to do"?
Saul thought to himself, instead of getting up to chase after him, he froze on the ground.

Li Qiao dribbled the ball across the midfield, dunked with his left foot, passed Gabi, and immediately dunked with his right foot, passed Koke who was defending.

Left and right, two moves passed the two giants in the midfield of Atletico Madrid. In fact, now Li Qiao has been misplaced and ran to the right. Costa in front ran to the middle. On the one hand, he made room for Li Qiao, and on the other hand, he took away a defender - Felipe.

Now Li Qiao only has Godin in front of him. Li Qiao wants to push the ball to Lewand, but Li Qiao is not sure. It seems that Lewand's position is between offside and not offside.

The Uruguayan iron guard was not so easy to pass, Li Qiao swayed left and right, and made several fake moves, but the opponent just didn't fall for it, and stood firmly in his position.

The own goal scored by Godin in the first half was thanks to Li Qiao. This time, nothing he said could be overshadowed by Li Qiao, otherwise his reputation as an iron guard would be rotten!

Li Qiao slowed down, but the movements under his feet became more and more fancy. The purpose was to shake Godin away. Seeing that it was not possible, Li Qiao aimed at Godin's crotch wicket and shot.

Godin instinctively put his feet together, but the ball was too fast and hit the back heel of Godin's right foot. Godin thought he had made a clearance, but when he turned around, Oblak in front of the goal was about to cry. It turned out that if Godin hadn't touched the ball, Oblak should have been easy to save, but Godin's heel knock became a wonderful refraction.

Godin completely knelt down. With the help of Li Qiao, he scored his second own goal in this game. The two own goals were both world-class, and they were both "assisted" by Li Qiao.

*****
In this celebration, Li Qiao was much crazier than in the first half. He rushed to the fans' stands and made a long sliding kneel, then opened his arms and shouted to the sky. The goal in the first half was also due to luck, but this time the goal was entirely due to Li Qiao's personal ability!

Saul ran back desolately. He thought to himself that he should be celebrating now. What is this? If he didn’t look left and right, ran at full speed and broke through by himself. Saul apologized to the captain Gabi, but Gabi waved his hand, saying that it was unnecessary.

The game against Atletico Madrid is so interesting. Leading and lagging are two completely different situations. Now that Bayern is leading, Atletico Madrid is in a difficult situation again, but this time Simeone no longer asks the players to attack. The situation is different. Atletico Madrid already has an away goal, and 1-2 is still acceptable.

But Bayern didn't think so. They didn't want to cooperate with Atletico Madrid. Costa forced Felipe on the right side. The Brazilian faced the Brazilian. Felipe rushed a few times and his hamstring was about to twitch.

Simeone knew that Bayern was going to score again to ensure the advantage. Simeone pursed his lips, not daring to breathe. Now it is the most tense time, and there are 15 minutes before the end of the game. As long as he returns to his own territory, it will be easy to handle.

Summer is in a hurry, and the situation is very good now. Because of his impatience, he ran to the sidelines as a ball boy. Every time he went out of bounds, he kicked the ball to his players and gave a few words of advice.

In the last 5 minutes, Atletico Madrid simply returned to the front of the penalty area, and Bayern also started to be simple and rude, shooting long shots outside the penalty area.

Li Qiao's long-range shot is very reliable when no one is defending, but "Oblak" in front of the goal is tall and burly, unless it is the kind of shot that hits the dead corner, ordinary long-range shots, Oblak can save it.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and finally Simeone got his wish, keeping the score of 1 to 2 until the end, and Madrid will win again next time.
