Chapter 54 A Boring First Half
In the 10th minute, the game finally had the first shot.Xavi puts a straight ball to Neymar, and Neymar, who finally found space, hastily kicked and shot, and the ball missed the goal by several meters.
Martino applauded the shot from the sidelines.Although it was a poor shot, it was an opportunity created by passing the ball as Barcelona gradually adapted to the hardness of Atletico Madrid's game.It can be seen that Barcelona gradually used their passes to slowly chip away at Atletico Madrid's fierce defense in the midfield.
He has long been mentally prepared for Atletico Madrid's strategy in this game. Simeone will definitely not play against Barcelona at the Nou Camp. He will definitely put his treasure in the second round. At home, Simeone is sure to beat Barcelona.
The opening situation also confirmed his thoughts, so Martino was not in a hurry.Where is Barcelona's offensive strength? It is difficult for Atletico Madrid to retreat in the Nou Camp just by defending. They will definitely want to attack.Taking a step back, the zero-to-zero score is not good for Atletico Madrid-the team that did not score an away goal will be very passive in the two rounds.
What Martino is waiting for is when Atletico Madrid wants to try to attack, and then it will also be Barcelona's opportunity!
And this requires Barcelona to create some opportunities when attacking the position, so that Atletico Madrid feels threatened.
After this shot, Courtois drove the ball into the frontcourt with a big foot.
Li Qingshan stopped the ball easily, and it seemed that no one in Barcelona came to compete with him for this high point.But Li Qingshan couldn't relax for a long time, he just stopped the ball, Mascherano came over from behind him and grabbed the ball in front of him and poked it away.Barcelona now also understands that it is basically impossible to compete with Li Qingshan on the high-altitude ball, but Li Qingshan's feet are far less flexible than Mascherano!
Mascherano poked out the ball and failed to control the direction.Gabby and Busquez chase the ball at the same time.
Gabi made a sliding tackle when he was two meters away from the football!Busquets was startled when he saw him approaching aggressively with a shovel, and he gave up the idea of confronting Gabi head-on. After the football was saved by Gabi's shovel, Busquets came up to grab the ball at Gabi's feet at this time.
Gabi, who fell on the ground, had a hard time controlling the ball. In desperation, he had no choice but to sweep the ball and kick the ball to Busquets' feet, trying to hit the ball on the opponent's body so that it could bounce out of the sideline.
But the ball bounced off Busquets' feet and bounced in the direction of Diego Costa!
After making mistakes, Atletico Madrid got a chance to face Barcelona's defense directly!Pique hurried up, ready to compete with Diego Costa for a header!
Pique jumped high, but Costa didn't take off, but pushed Pique from under him.Pique, who lost his balance, fell heavily from the air!Then he sat on the grass and touched his hip joint.
"This confrontation seems to have caused Pique to be injured. Now the team doctor came in to check Pique's condition. I hope there is no serious problem." Duan Xuan is now a full-time commentator for CCTV Li Qingshan.Basically, as long as it is Li Qingshan's game, he is arranged to explain it.
"Diego Costa is a butcher! His actions are too disgusting. The referee should have changed the cards to Atletico Madrid long ago!" The Catalan commentator said in an atmosphere.
At this moment, Barcelona's team doctor made a gesture for a substitution, and then helped the limping Pique off the field.
"Sure enough, Pique couldn't hold on anymore. Barcelona suffered a huge loss. If there is anyone in the Barcelona team who can slightly limit Li Qingshan in terms of headers, it is Pique who is 190 centimeters tall. But now that Pique is injured and off the field, there is no player in Barcelona who can match Li Qingshan in height!"
After Pique went off, Bartra replaced him.
But Li Qingshan didn't get many chances in the next game.First of all, most of the ball possession is still in the hands of Barcelona. Second, Barcelona now attaches great importance to the restrictions on Atletico Madrid's wide passes, and most of the long passes in the backcourt cannot directly form an attack. As long as Li Qingshan still stops or passes the ball, Barcelona will have a chance to organize the defense.
And Li Qingshan's biggest threat to the goal is his direct header. If this is restricted, Barcelona is still capable of defending him in other aspects, not to mention that Atletico Madrid has given Li Qingshan too few opportunities to touch the ball. up.
In the 209th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid was also hit by injuries. Diego Costa sat on the ground without confrontation, touching his right thigh muscle.
Falling to the ground without confrontation is often a troublesome injury.Simeone sent Raúl Garcia to warm up after seeing Diego Costa sitting on the ground.
Sure enough, Diego Costa has a muscle strain, and the specific injury will not be known until after careful examination, but this game must not last.
Simeone did not choose to replace Villa, but replaced Raul Garcia, adjusted the formation to 451, and played a single striker!
Barcelona lost a central defender, while Atletico Madrid lost a striker.Both sides had to use up a substitution in the first half.
The rhythm of the next game is still that Barcelona is controlling the football, while Atletico Madrid is mainly defending in the midfield, looking for opportunities to counterattack.
After Pique left the field, Li Qingshan couldn't relax much.Because he lacked a helper by his side, he fell into a situation of fighting alone more often.
Without support, it is difficult for Li Qingshan to play much role for the time being.
No.306 minutes, Li Qingshan finally got the chance to get the ball. He stopped the ball and used his body to protect the ball, but there was no teammate around him, and Atletico Madrid's players were still in the midfield at the moment.
In desperation, he had no choice but to protect the football and take it to the sideline.Barcelona's defensive players surrounded him, but they couldn't get around Li Qingshan's strong body and reach the ball for a while—the Barcelona players stood next to Li Qingshan like dwarves. The ball is separated from the opponent's defensive player, and the ball can be protected for dozens of seconds.
At this time, the Atletico Madrid midfielders who were huddled in the backcourt finally stepped forward to respond, and Mascherano tripped Li Qingshan to the ground before they rushed through the midfield.
Unless it is a last resort, Barcelona does not want to foul easily-giving Atletico Madrid a chance to set the ball is also very dangerous.
Sure enough, this set-piece Atletico Madrid created a threat.Gabi sent the ball to the back point, and because the ball was far from the goal, the football he sent was a bit too close to the baseline.
Li Qingshan, who was at the back point, couldn't head the ball directly, so he pointed the ball back to the center at the back point. He aimed at Godin's position to ferry the header.
This Atletico Madrid central defender, who is also good at heading the ball, grabbed the ball in front of the defender and flicked it, but it bounced on the crossbar and went out of the bottom line!
This is the best chance Atlético Madrid has had since the game started!
Godin, who failed to seize this opportunity, patted his head angrily, turned around and went back to defend.
Both sides had no achievements in the first half, and returned to the locker room with a score of zero to zero.
