Chapter 656 The Winning Streak Ends
After the game, almost everyone's attention was on Lin Dong's injury. Even though Simeone had already explained that the reason for replacing Lin Dong was that the victory or defeat was basically determined, and Lin Dong was no longer needed to stay on the court.
But neither the media nor the fans believed it. In the end, Atletico Madrid officials had to come forward to explain that Lin Dong was indeed sprained, but it only took a few days for Lin Dong to fully recover from the sprain.
In addition to the media and fans, there are also people close to Lin Dong. Faced with these concerned people, Lin Dong can only reply one by one. In the end, Lin Dong personally posted on his personal social networking site, telling fans and fans that he is really fine, and finally put the "injury" incident to rest.
However, Lin Dong was fine, but Simeone didn't seem to think so. In the next two days of training, Simeone kept asking Lin Dong to rest.
Even though Lin Dong told Simeone that he could no longer feel any pain from his sprained left foot, Simeone still refused to allow Lin Dong to participate in training too much.
And Simeone's excuse left Lin Dong speechless, "For the team, your health is the most important thing."
Lin Dong was very helpless about this, and even went to the team doctor Bialon to ask him to do a detailed examination, but the team doctor actually asked Lin Dong to rest as much as possible after the examination.
Now Lin Dong was completely depressed, because the match was just one day away, and Atletico Madrid was going to be a guest at Villarreal in the 13th round of the league.
In fact, Lin Dong also felt the changes in his teammates. As a member of the team, and facing these teammates day and night, Lin Dong knew very well that his teammates' attention, excitement, and even morale had changed a lot.
It is also because of this that Lin Dong feels that he is more ambitious because of his debut. Since he has already broken Real Madrid's record for the best start, why can't he break Barcelona's longest winning streak in La Liga?
Although a few fans focused on Barcelona's longest winning streak in La Liga, Lin Dong set his sights on Barcelona's record since breaking Real Madrid's record.
Lin Dong wants to make Real Madrid regret and overtake Barcelona at the same time, because he aspires to the highest football throne, and the best way to get to the throne is to beat the player closest to the throne.
There is no doubt that in today's football, Ronaldo and Messi are the players closest to the throne, and they can be called the absolute double pride. Even now, the whole of Europe is still emphasizing the battle between Ronaldo and Messi, and nothing happens without him.
Let’s talk about this year’s Golden Globe Awards. Based on the overall average, Lin Dong was definitely the player with the best performance last season. In this season, Lin Dong is currently the No. [-] center forward in the five major European leagues.
However, Lin Dong still had to obey Simeone's decision, because since Lin Dong joined Atletico Madrid, Simeone's tactics have been around him and established his core position in Atletico Madrid. Facing such a head coach, Lin Dong was naturally dissatisfied because of such trivial matters.
Knowing gratitude is Lin Dong's consistent principle of life. If someone treats him well, he will definitely treat others well. The experience of his previous life has made Lin Dong more grateful. Besides, Simeone is also nervous about him, although this nervousness is a bit excessive.
In this case, Lin Dong went to Villarreal with the team to challenge the "Yellow Submarine" Villarreal, a legendary team.
Even though Villarreal is now the second team in La Liga, they were still in the lower leagues more than a decade ago, and they were still in the lower leagues for a year or two.
Villarreal was officially established in 1923, but it took 75 years for Villarreal to enter the Spanish First Division from its establishment.
Although the first season of La Liga was not very good, and they were relegated back to the second division after the season, but soon they came back and got out of control, eventually becoming one of the strong teams in La Liga.
Although the Love Song Stadium is not big, it can only accommodate more than 2 people, but the reputation of this stadium is not as bad as those famous stadiums, because this stadium has a very poetic name.
However, today, this poetic stadium has become the stadium that Atletico Madrid hates the most this season, because it is the only stadium that Atletico Madrid has not been able to capture since the start of the season.
Yes, Atletico stopped their winning streak and when referee Pérez Montella blew the full-time whistle, the final score was 1-1.
Atletico Madrid scored a goal, which does not mean that Atletico Madrid broke through the Love Song Stadium, let alone captured it, because Atletico Madrid's goal was an own goal of the opponent.
And in just 2 minutes of the opening, Villarreal scored an own goal, giving Atletico Madrid a perfect start.
Unfortunately, this perfect start did not help Atletico Madrid to win the final victory. At the end of the game, Villarreal equalized the score in the eighth and 10th minute.
At this time, even if Simeone replaced Lin Dong, he would be powerless. Yes, Lin Dong sat on the bench for more than 80 minutes in this game. This was the first time Lin Dong sat on the bench after joining Atletico Madrid.
After Lin Dong came on the field, Villarreal head coach Marcelino decisively changed his tactics, and the team retreated. Finally, they survived the last 10 minutes, clinging to a 1:1 score, becoming the first team to score points against Atletico Madrid this season, and even the hero who ended Atletico Madrid's winning streak.
Especially for Real Madrid and Barcelona, these two teams are aiming to compete for the championship. If Atletico Madrid continues to win like this, their situation will become difficult.
After the El Clasico, Real Madrid's situation became even less optimistic, while Barcelona fell behind and were threatened with their best winning streak in La Liga.
But now, because of Atletico Madrid's draw, the situation has improved. Real Madrid has entered the point difference with Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona has returned to the same starting line with Atletico Madrid, with the same points again.
In addition to Real Madrid and Barcelona, other teams in La Liga also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, La Liga already has two super teams. If one appears again, the survival space for other teams will be even smaller.
Each club has its own considerations, but the media and fans don't care about these. The media are curious about why Lin Dong is sitting on the bench, and even they have already made up their minds.
Atletico Madrid fans are also concerned about why Lin Dong is sitting on the bench while they are sad that the winning streak has been ended. If Lin Dong starts this game, what will happen to the result of the game?
It's a pity that there will never be an answer to this question, and it is wrong. There will be no answer at present. Maybe one day Simeone ends his coaching career and writes his autobiography. He will tell everyone what he thinks in today's game.
