Chapter 888 Five-game winning streak
Although behind by two goals, Malaga's counterattack momentum is still high. After several years, the current Malaga team is gradually dominated by young players.
Young players are like knives. When they perform well, they can kill people. If they perform poorly, their opponents will lose even when they are weak. The previous five consecutive victories were due to this situation.
But Malaga's counterattack failed to really create any threat to Atletico Madrid. After all, Atletico Madrid's strength is stronger than Malaga's, and defense is the foundation of Atletico Madrid's foothold.
Besides, there was only a little time left in the first half, and finally when the referee blew the whistle for halftime, the score was still 2:0.
Simeone, who returned to the locker room, first set his sights on Turan, and after confirming that there was no problem from Turan, he began to arrange the tactics for the second half.
Counterattack, the advantage of the two-goal lead will naturally be used. Since Malaga wants to counterattack, let them attack. Defensive counterattack is Atletico Madrid's forte.
15 minutes passed quickly, and there was no change in Atletico Madrid's lineup, but there was a personnel adjustment on Malaga's side. Santa Cruz replaced Juanmi.
Santa Cruz's playing undoubtedly raised the height of Malaga's frontcourt offense. Santa Cruz, who is 1.9 meters tall, can become the fulcrum of the frontcourt.
Malaga's subsequent offense also confirmed this point. In the first wave of offense at the beginning of the second half, Malaga took advantage of Santa Cruz's height, Duddle made a long pass, Santa Cruz hit the header, and Castillejo shot out from the side.
Rushing into the penalty area and taking a shot, Moya was prepared. He jumped and blocked the ball with a single palm. The subsequent corner kick was cleared by Jimenez. Atletico Madrid wanted to counterattack, but was fouled by Malaga.
For the set-piece, Gabi kicked it wide, Lin Dong leaped high on the line of the Malaga penalty area, and hit the header back again, this time to Cork on the right, but Cork did not pass again, but kicked directly to the goal.
Malaga, who suffered a loss once, is very vigilant, and his attention has long been on Griezmann. In this case, Cork can only do it by himself.
It was a bit short, the ball whizzed past the beam. It is said that Cork's long-range shooting level is not bad, and he intends to strengthen his long-range shooting level at the beginning of this season.
Well, from the current point of view, the effect is not obvious, but besides hard work, long-range shots also need luck. After all, not everyone belongs to Batistuta.
It is said that Lin Dong is a bit similar to Batistuta, and it is Simeone who said this. It is said that Simeone and Batistuta are players of the same generation, and the two are teammates in the Argentine national team.
That's the way the two shot. Batistuta likes to shoot vigorously, whether it's outside the penalty area or inside the penalty area, and Lin Dong is the same.
Simeone didn't know that Lin Dong had gained experience in Batistuta's career, and there was even a weakened version of "Batistuta GOL" in the skill column.
On the pitch, the two sides have always been very hot, but this hotness also includes fouls. I have to say that the weakness of the referee made Malaga's fouls more unscrupulous.
However, Ferrero has rich experience after all, and when the two sides were about to lose control of their anger, they received two yellow cards, and this time they also drew two red cards after the two yellow cards.
Two yellows turned into one red, Malaga's striker Moussael, Atletico Madrid's captain Gabi, Atletico Madrid's captain became the chicken, no, it was two chickens.
The lack of one striker has no effect on Malaga. After all, they have a three-forward lineup, and at most they have to make a slight adjustment in tactics, but Atletico Madrid need to make substitutions. Simeone replaced Turan with Saul, and Griezmann moved to Turan.
The game restarted, and after the referee sent off the two, the anger of both sides subsided a lot. It was still Malaga's offense, and it was still looking for Santa Cruz.
After all, Jimenez is still young and inexperienced. In the competition with Santa Cruz, the Atletico Madrid teenager basically ended in failure.
Of course, failure is failure, but Santa Cruz can't easily attack the goal. It is not unreasonable for Jimenez to be valued by Simeone. The talent is there.
This point should be most clear to his opponent Santa Cruz, because he found it more and more difficult for him to compete for the top, and every time he competed for the top, he did not give himself a chance to attack the goal.
The game came to No.70 two minutes into the game, which also became the turning point of the game. Malaga once again made a long pass to Santa Cruz, but the ball was won by Atletico Madrid.
Jimenez and Godin made a switch, the latter overwhelmed Santa Cruz and gave the ball to Saul, and the Atletico Madrid teenager made a decisive long pass.
Lin Dong had already started. Although Saul's pass was a little off, Lin Dong caught up with the ball with his own speed, and with a change of direction, he passed the last defender.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL~~~3:0~~3:0~~~ There is no suspense, the game has no suspense, Atletico Madrid scored the third goal of the game."
"The ball is in~~~The ball is in~~~ Lin scored twice, Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack, Lin caught up with the ball with his unparalleled speed, and met the last defender."
"Single shot~~~Shoot~~~Strong shot~~~ Kameni could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the goal he was guarding, and was pierced by the opponent for the third time."
If it is said that Malaga still has the arrogance to fight back after two goals, then the third goal scored by Lin Dongsuo will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and Malaga's morale falls to the bottom.
The remaining 20 minutes completely turned into garbage time, Malaga's morale was not good, and the offense became chaotic. Atletico Madrid controlled the rhythm of the game under Simeone's signal, and did not continue to pursue goals.
It is said that the league has almost reached one third of the way, and Atletico Madrid needs to play more games next. Not to mention the King's Cup will start soon, and there will be a Club World Cup behind.
The Club World Cup is very famous, but it doesn’t matter how important it is, but now Atletico Madrid’s situation is different, because Atletico Madrid has won the previous five championships. If they win the Club World Cup, Atletico Madrid will tie Barcelona and create six crowns.
The game said that it also means an increase in the chance of player injuries, especially for a team like Atletico Madrid that relies on the starting lineup, there is no room for loss, so Simeone is naturally unwilling to take more risks when the victory is already guaranteed.
Subsequently, Simeone used the remaining two substitutions, and Lin Dong, who is crucial to Atletico Madrid, is obviously among them. Raul Garcia has not appeared on the front line of Atletico Madrid for a long time, and the other one was replaced by Cork. For the current Atletico Madrid, Cork's role is becoming more and more important.
The score of 3:0 was also maintained to the whole game.
