Chapter 611 The Bitter Fruit of Last Season
6:2, when the referee Gonzalez blew the whistle for the whole game, the score was finally fixed at 6:2, with the home team at the front and the visiting team at the back.
In the first half, Atletico Madrid entered the intermission with a 3:0 advantage, but after returning from the intermission, Almeria unexpectedly moved back a goal.
The goal from Rodri, the full-back Lafita crossed from the side, Rodri's first shot was blocked and then a supplementary shot to complete the goal.
Almeria's goal finally fulfilled Lin Dong's second hat-trick of the season. After being recovered by Almeria, Simeone will not replace Lin Dong so soon, because the game has suspense again.
The result of this is that Lin Dong turned the lead back to three goals again at the No.60 minute. This time it was a long shot. Costa rushed into the penalty area to create conditions for Lin Dong. Cork made a diagonal pass to Lin Dong. Lin Dong outside the penalty area was unexpectedly unguarded.
Ever since, Lin Dong ushered in his first long-range goal this season, because all his previous goals were in the penalty area, and everyone may have overlooked that Lin Dong still has a long-range shot.
Although Lin Dong's goal completely sealed the victory, Atletico Madrid's scoring pace did not stop. In the next 10 minutes, Cork and Thiago scored successively to extend the score to 6:1. During this period, Lin Dong has been replaced.
Almeria chased another goal at the last moment and locked the score at 6:2. This is the first time Atletico Madrid conceded more than two goals this season, and Atletico Madrid still has a very bad phenomenon.
Because the team often locks up the victory early, Atletico Madrid always slacks in defense at the end of the game, resulting in always conceding goals at the end.
Simeone has discovered this point. Simeone has great ambitions. Of course, Atletico Madrid also has great ambitions. If Atletico Madrid wants to go further, then this problem must be solved.
This is a problem that Simeone and his disciples need to solve. As Atletico Madrid fans, at this moment, they only need to enjoy the joy brought by their team.
Especially on the second day, when Real Madrid only got a draw as a guest at the Love Song Stadium, Atletico Madrid fans completely fell into the carnival.
Although Bell ushered in his first goal to join Real Madrid in this game, Bell's first goal did not bring luck to Real Madrid. The former Barcelona player Dos Santos completed a fatal blow and finally tied the score after Real Madrid overtook the score.
Real Madrid fell behind, and Barcelona almost fell behind. In the last minute of the normal game, Sevilla tied the score 1:2.
However, in stoppage time, Barcelona relied on Messi's breakthrough, and Sanchez's lore once again overtook the score, but this score was full of controversy.
Because at the end of 10 minutes, the referee indicated that the stoppage time was 3 minutes, but when Barcelona scored the last goal, the stoppage time was close to 5 minutes.
So after the game, Sevilla was very dissatisfied. The players went to the referee, the head coach went to the fourth official, and in the subsequent post-match interview, the head coach was even more mad.
For Barcelona's situation, Atletico Madrid players are naturally on the side of Sevilla. Although Atletico Madrid has a good relationship with Barcelona, fans pay more attention to the interests of the team.
If Barcelona is also tied this time, then Atletico Madrid is the only one who still maintains a complete victory in La Liga. At the end of the current four rounds of the league, Atletico Madrid has won all four games and occupies the top spot with the number of goals scored.
Second, this is Barcelona, which has won all four games like Atletico Madrid, and then Real Madrid and Villarreal, who are tied in this round. The two teams also maintained a complete victory in the previous three rounds.
Atletico Madrid has been away from the La Liga championship for too long, and it has been tightly suppressed these years, so it is still very happy to be able to occupy the top spot.
However, the attention of Atletico Madrid players is no longer on the league. Although Real Madrid drew, it was not that Atletico Madrid did not suppress Real Madrid at the beginning of last season.
Atletico Madrid is now focusing more on the Champions League in the middle of the week. You know, this is the first time Atletico Madrid has returned to the Champions League after five years. The last time they entered the Champions League was the 08-09 season.
That Atletico Madrid finally ranked fourth, won the UEFA Champions League qualifying round, then broke into the main match, and even broke into the knockout stage. Speaking of Atletico Madrid and Porto, they can also be regarded as enemies, because the official Porto that eliminated Atletico Madrid in the last one-eighth knockout match, UEFA's madness need not be said.
However, the first game of the Atletico Madrid group stage is not Porto, but the Russian team Zenit St. Petersburg. Atletico Madrid will welcome this Russian local team at home.
From the lineup point of view, Zenit St. Petersburg is better than Atletico Madrid. There are not only the "Hulk" Hulk on the front line, but also from the Portuguese black shop Porto, as well as the former core Arshavin. Behind him is the Belgian genius midfielder Witsel.
And in recent years, Zenit St. Petersburg has been a frequent visitor to the Champions League. The Champions League experience alone is not comparable to Atletico Madrid. After all, Atletico Madrid has been away from the Champions League for five seasons, and there are very few players in the team with Champions League experience.
This is not the worst. Atletico Madrid's worst player is Lin Dong. Lin Dong can be said to be Atletico Madrid's most experienced player in the UEFA Champions League. Last season, he not only broke the half-century scoring record in the Champions League, but also helped Real Madrid reach the final and finally win the championship. Although he played nine to 10 minutes on the bench.
But it was also because of winning the championship last season that Lin Dong suffered the most punishment from UEFA, but Lin Dong obviously deserved what he deserved, and for throwing a trophy, a three-match suspension is considered light.
But this has hurt Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid didn't have any experienced players in the Champions League, let alone lost the main core now.
Yes, Lin Dong is now the core of Atletico Madrid's tactics. This can be seen from Lin Dong's current performance on the court, not to mention that the previous airport tactics revolve around Lin Dong. Otherwise, why would Lin Dong often score first.
Moreover, after losing Lin Dong, Atletico Madrid's offensive power will undoubtedly drop a level. They scored 4 goals in 10 games, averaging 2.5 goals per game, accounting for almost half of Atletico Madrid's goals. Atletico Madrid only scored 22 goals in 4 games. Of course, scoring 22 goals in [-] games is already an exaggeration.
Therefore, it can be seen from the data alone what kind of existence Lin Dong is to Atletico Madrid. If it is not even an exaggeration, Atletico Madrid with Lin Dong and Atletico Madrid without Lin Dong can be described as two teams.
It is obviously impossible for the head coach of Zenit St. Petersburg not to see this and not take it into account.
