Chapter 32 I am for Atletico Madrid***①
Atletico Madrid traveled to Italy to face Serie A giants AC Milan in the quarter-finals.
If it is said that the most successful football team of the twentieth century is selected, AC Milan can be one of the candidates anyway.However, with the decline of the Italian economy and the weakening of Serie A as a whole, AC Milan is no longer as brave as it used to be.
Even judging from the player lineup, Atletico Madrid is even stronger than AC Milan.Although there are still former World Footballers like Kaka in the Milan team.But the 32-year-old Kaka, like Milan, who is as glorious as he is but constrained by economic problems, is not the same as the chasing boy back then.
AC米兰目前在意甲的情况可以说是非常的糟糕，目前意甲和西甲同样都是踢了24轮联赛，米兰8胜8平8负积32分，仅仅排在积分榜第9位！
It's just that Atletico Madrid's recent situation in La Liga is not good. In the schedule of double matches a week for more than a month, it is not easy for the exhausted Atletico Madrid to win away games.
For the Chinese media, the focus of their attention is Li Qingshan.
As the fourth Chinese player to play in the UEFA Champions League, can Li Qingshan score the first Chinese goal in the UEFA Champions League in his first UEFA Champions League game?
The media and fans are very confident about this.Compared with Sun Xiang, Dong Fangzhuo and Hao Junmin who played in the UEFA Champions League before, Li Qingshan is already the main scorer of the team, and Atletico Madrid is not a weak team in Europe.Even if Li Qingshan doesn't score in this game, there are still opportunities in this season's Champions League.
Considering the team's recent situation, Simeone did not take risks in the away game, but adopted a defensive counterattack strategy.In this two-round competition system, the team that plays the away game first still has a certain advantage.
This is the first time Milan and Atletico Madrid have met in the UEFA Champions League. Before that, the two teams only played against each other in the warm-up match in August 2006. Milan beat Atletico Madrid 8-1 at that time.Atletico Madrid is still 0 in this game. Except for Felipe's continued injury and Insua's replacement, the other positions are played by the main players. The forward line is Li Qingshan's partner Diego Costa.
For AC Milan, Seedorf continues to use the 4231 formation, Balotelli single striker, Tarabut and Polly partner Kaka ambushes behind the striker, De Jong and Essien form a double midfielder; De Sciglio on the defensive line , Emmanuelsen are divided into two wings, the central defender combination is Rami and Bonera, and Abbiati guards the goal.Atlético Madrid also played a lone striker formation with Diego Costa as lone striker.
After the opening, AC Milan took advantage of the home court to launch an offensive first, which put a lot of pressure on Atletico Madrid.
In the 8th minute, Balotelli was knocked down by Miranda from behind. Milan got a set ball in the front court. Balotelli took the penalty and directly attacked the goal. The ball missed the left post; After taking the ball, Kaka dribbled the ball to the side and gave it to De Sciglio, who put in the ball. The latter made a pass back. Kaka turned around and volleyed the goal. Pop the bottom line.In the 14th minute, Tarabut picked a pass from the penalty area, Polly headed the goal, and the ball hit the post!
AC Milan's offense was very ferocious, overwhelming Atletico Madrid in the away game.
Fortunately, Courtois's performance in this game was fairly stable, and with the help of the goal post, Atletico Madrid was able to maintain a zero-to-zero score through the 45 minutes of the first half.
In the second half, Atletico Madrid began to try to counterattack, and the two sides gradually attacked and defended each other.
No. In the 601st minute, Li Qingshan headed the ball into the penalty area, and the football went slightly wide of the post, shocking Milan goalkeeper Abbiati into a cold sweat.And this is the closest chance Atletico Madrid has come to scoring so far in this game.
The score of zero to zero was maintained until the No.90 minute of the game.In fact, Simeone's result of a tie with the opponent in the away game is still acceptable.With the team's physical fitness reaching its limit, what Atletico Madrid needs most is to survive this difficult time with a dense schedule.
No.90 minutes, Atletico Madrid won a corner kick opportunity, and Atletico Madrid did not get too many set-kick opportunities in this game.
Gabi made a corner pass, Li Qingshan overpowered Bonera and headed the goal again, but goalkeeper Abbiati stretched out his hand, and the football was blocked back into the penalty area.Diego Costa got a chance to make a follow-up shot and tiptoed the ball into the goal before the defender!
Relying on this goal, Atletico Madrid defeated AC Milan in the away game and took the lead in the two rounds of the Champions League knockout round!
After this game, Atletico Madrid did not have time to celebrate their victory, because three days later, they will play away against Osasuna in the league.
Real Madrid and Barcelona will be played the day before this one.
Before Atletico Madrid went to the Navarra Stadium, they received both good news and bad news.
The good news is that Barcelona lost points in this round, and they lost to Real Sociedad in an upset away game!Because in the Champions League match in midweek, Barcelona went to Manchester. Although they defeated Manchester City [-]-[-] in the away game, Barcelona consumed a lot.Faced with the impact of Real Sociedad's long pass, Barcelona can only swallow a defeat in the away game.
The bad news is that Real Madrid defeated Elche [-]-[-] at home, overtook Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and climbed to the top of the standings.Real Madrid once fell behind Atletico Madrid and Barcelona by five points in this season's La Liga. However, due to Atletico Madrid and Barcelona's repeated mistakes, Real Madrid seized the opportunity to overtake their opponents in points.
This season, the troika of La Liga has come out one after another, and the competition is very fierce.
And for Atletico Madrid, this game should not be lost.Even a gap of one point may ultimately affect the ownership of the La Liga champion.
It's just that their opponents in this round of the league are not very easy to deal with.Osasuna's fighting power at home is very strong. Even Barcelona and Real Madrid only scored a draw at the Navarre Kingdom Stadium.
As a typical northern team, Osasuna emphasizes physical confrontation, and their combat effectiveness at home is even stronger. Atletico Madrid has continued to fight on two fronts, and the intensity of the mid-week knockout round is relatively high, so physical fitness will definitely be affected. This is their The biggest hidden danger here.
Due to the excessive consumption of the away game against Milan in the middle of the week, Simeone made a rotation for this game.Koke and Arda Turan both sat on the bench.This was very rare in the past, because in addition to injuries and other factors, even if the two games in a week need to be rotated, at least one of them will appear on the court. Adrian, Diego, and Suarez Jr. Three fringe players got the chance to start.Although Villa has also returned from injury, Simeone did not rashly choose Villa to start after being absent for a long time. Li Qingshan's partner Diego Costa is still on the front line.
The high-intensity Champions League away game has had a huge impact on the team.In just four days, they flew from Spain to Italy, and then flew back to Spain non-stop after the game.The impact on the entire team is obvious.
After the start of the game, Osasuna's offense was quite threatening.As a typical northern Spanish team, Osasuna emphasizes physical confrontation, and their midfielders are all players with relatively strong physical confrontation ability. Atletico Madrid, because Koke and Turan are not on the field, replaced their Adri Neither An nor Diego are the type of players who are good at physical confrontation.This also allowed Atletico Madrid's midfield time to be intercepted.
In the 6th minute of the game, Adrian took the ball in the midfield and was intercepted. Osasuna made a quick counterattack. Oyer's strong shot from the edge of the penalty area was saved by Courtois.
Then Amontrose took a left corner kick.The football was pushed out of the penalty area by Li Qingshan.However, outside the penalty area, Osasuna defender Garrido volleyed without stopping the ball, drew a world wave, and drilled into the goal from a very corner!Such a ball is an accidental ball on the court. In the same position and the same direction of the ball, even if there is no defensive pressure, let Garrido shoot in the same way. It is estimated that only one time in a hundred attempts can make such a perfect shot. arcs and angles.But with this [-]% probability, Atletico Madrid suffered like this. I can only say that my luck is really bad.
And this game looks like Lady Luck has completely abandoned Atletico Madrid. No. In the 206th minute, Diego made a pass error in the midfield. Amontrose cut the ball inside after stealing the ball. He made an arc with his left foot on the edge of the arc of the penalty area. The football went into the net from the bottom right corner, [-]-[-]!
The Atlético de Madrid team is exhausted, and their running pace on the field looks very heavy.
There is only one exception, this is Li Qingshan.After falling behind by two goals, Li Qingshan retreated to the midfield to help get the ball.At the same time, use a wide range of running to make up for the gaps caused by other players' lack of running.
His efforts soon paid off. In the No.308 minute, he used his body to resist the opponent's defense after receiving the ball in the midfield, turned around and took the ball forward. Before the opponent's defensive player came up, he passed the ball Diego Costa pulled to the wing.
Diego Costa led the ball to the baseline, and then drew the ball to the goal.
Li Qingshan followed, fell to the ground and shoveled the ball into the goal.
Two to one!
Atletico Madrid pulled one back!
However, it was too early for Atletico Madrid to be happy, and they conceded the ball again.
No. 403 minutes, Osasuna successfully steals the ball again in the frontcourt, Damia makes a cross from the left, Roberto Torres heads into the net in the penalty area, [-] to [-]! !
Not long after this goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
The Atlético Madrid players hurried into the player channel with their heads down as soon as the whistle sounded.The first half of the game was like a nightmare for them, especially Adrian and Diego, who finally got the chance to start, seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, with unstable ball protection and poor passing. Accurate, frequent mistakes, three goals conceded in the first half, all directly related to them!
When the Osasuna players left the field, they were naturally full of smiles and joy.As a mid-lower team, they were able to score three goals against the powerful Atletico Madrid in the first half. In any case, they are also worthy of joy.
"...Atletico Madrid have encountered trouble at home in Osasuna. It seems that the away game in the Champions League has too much impact on their physical fitness. Although Simeone made a rotation, there is still no way for Atletico Madrid. Get excited on the field, if they don't want to accept an away loss and be separated by Real Madrid in the standings, they must come up with something to deal with in the second half of the game!" Madrid's commentator said with some concern.
