No matter how this game is, Levante's courage is definitely worthy of everyone's admiration. As the season progresses, there are really few who can face Atletico Madrid and play against each other.
On the court, the game restarted, and Levante threw the ball back to Atletico Madrid. When Ivan Schitz was injured just now, it was Koke who kicked the ball off the field.
In this regard, Atletico Madrid will naturally not be polite, and the score is added to the side. Turan holds the ball along the side and fails to break through and pass it back to Thiago, who passes the ball to the other side.
Cork moved laterally again and broke into the penalty area with the cooperation of Lin Dong, but Cork's long shot still failed to break through Navas, and the goal just now did not affect Navas.
Then Levante returned a kick to Atletico Madrid. Compared with Navas' outstanding performance, Courtois's performance in this game will be much bleak.
Of course, this is not to say that Courtois is worse than Navas. In terms of defense on both sides, Atletico Madrid is better than Navas, especially in the comparison of defenders. Levante cannot compare with Atletico Madrid at all.
After that, Atletico Madrid full-back Felipe scored into the Levante half again and sent a cross. Lin Dong did not directly head the goal this time, but chose to play for his teammates.
Captain Gabi, when Felipe made a cross, Gabi had already rushed outside the Levante penalty area without knowing it. It was precisely after seeing Gabi that Lin Dong decided to knock back instead of forcing the goal himself.
A strong shot, one step into the penalty area, controlled the ball and kicked up a strong shot, but failed to suppress it, because Simao had already rushed towards Gabi, and Gabi, who was short on time, failed to suppress the shot.
Soon, Atletico Madrid entered the Levante penalty area again, or Felipe's side pass. After Juanfran sent an assist, Felipe seemed unwilling to be lonely.
It's just that Atletico Madrid didn't have much luck in the first half, let alone Felipe's cross was aimed at Costa, and it went wide again.
After Atletico Madrid's attack ended, the first half also came to an end unknowingly. In the 2 minutes of stoppage time, neither side caused any waves. The first half ended with a score of 1:1.
Back in the locker room, Simeone did not criticize the players for conceding a goal in the opening game. Instead, he blamed himself for the mistake. He did not consider that Levante would attack in the opening game.
The season has progressed so far, whether it is Simeone, the coaching staff, or even the entire Atletico Madrid. Even the opponents are changing. In the previous games, few teams have dared to be like Levante, so it is understandable to make such a mistake.
Atletico Madrid is not afraid to play against any team now. This is the confidence accumulated by Atletico Madrid through continuous victories, and there are Lin Dong and Costa on the front line, the best combination in Europe this season.
Therefore, during the intermission, Simeone's tactical arrangement changed a little. Instead of trying to defend, he chose to attack and fight against Levante. Simeone's decision also made the second half of the game exciting.
The opening ball in the second half belonged to Atletico Madrid, so at the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid launched a strong attack, Costa returned a pass to Gabi, and Gabi directly passed it to Lin Dong.
It has to be said that Gabi's pass exceeded everyone's expectations. You must know that when Gabi made the pass, the formations of both sides were not opened, and the two forwards of Levante had just crossed the center circle.
With a flying shovel, Xi Mang reacted very quickly. When Lin Dong unloaded the ball, Xi Mang had already rushed towards Lin Dong and shoveled towards the ball under Lin Dong's feet.
However, Lin Dong's reaction was faster, because he had observed the surrounding situation long ago. When Gabi passed the ball, he tiptoed, and the ball flew past Simao, and then he turned sideways to avoid Simao.
Relying on his unparalleled explosive power, Lin Dong caught up with the ball in an instant, but the other Levante players were not slow to react, especially Diop.
And with Simao’s lessons learned, Diop did not run for the ball, but directly faced Lin Dong. A yellow card plus a set kick, the price of bringing down Lin Dong was not low, let alone an intentional foul. The referee Gonzalez first gave Diop a yellow card, and then gave Atletico Madrid a free kick.
However, the price depends on the result. If Lin Dong rushes over and breaks the goal, then the price is worth it, and the possibility of Lin Dong breaking the goal is very high.
However, Levante never expected that even if they paid the price of a yellow card, they still could not avoid the fate of being scored, so the gain outweighed the loss.
Atletico Madrid captain Gabi stood on the penalty spot, while Atletico Madrid players rushed into the Levante penalty area, especially Godin and Miranda. Set kicks and corner kicks can be said to be their best chances to score.
As for Lin Dong, based on his performance this season, he is a key defensive target no matter where he is, even though Lin Dong rarely scores goals from corner kicks and free kicks.
Gabi took the corner kick, not Godin, nor Miranda, nor Lin Dong, because at this moment Lin Dong had pulled out of the penalty area and brought two defensive players out of the penalty area.
Costa and Gabi's pass target is another striker on the front line of Atletico Madrid. Because of the relationship between Godin, Miranda and Lin Dong, Costa's defense is not tight at the moment.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL~~~2:1~~~2:1~~~ Overtake, Atletico Madrid overtook the score, the second half just started, this is Atletico Madrid's counterattack against Levante's opening goal in the first half."
"Costa~~~ made a shot in front of the goal. Gabi sent the ball to the left goal. Costa pushed the Levante defender and stretched his foot. The ball flew past Navas' fingertips and flew into the goal." Navas still made a save, but Navas's save did not save Levante.
"2:1~~~ The score is overtaken, and the initiative has returned to Atletico Madrid, and with Atletico Madrid's previous performance, it is difficult for Levante to have another chance. Atletico Madrid is likely to usher in the No.17 unbeaten round."
Atletico Madrid's [-] rounds of unbeaten weight is quite enough. This game is not over yet. The results of the previous [-] rounds are [-] wins and [-] draw.
Speaking of the tie, even now there are still many Atletico Madrid regretting it. Most people think that if Lin Dong was on the court in that game, Atletico Madrid would never draw.
On the court, Atletico Madrid's celebration was over, and Levante's tactics remained unchanged. They scored Atletico Madrid's half-court shortly after the kick-off and successfully completed a kick.
From the veteran Rios who came off the bench, this is also the first goal of Rios after coming off the bench. In the penalty area on the penalty area line, the two forwards of Levante did not take advantage of Atletico Madrid's defense, so Levante changed the offensive method. The striker covered the midfield and tried to use long shots to threaten Atletico Madrid's goal.
