Chapter 176 The Moment That Changes the Rhythm of the Game
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Manchester United still doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, while Atletico Madrid's offensive is even more violent.
Atlético de Madrid, who has stepped up its offensive, is indeed more threatening. In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Atletico Madrid's offensive was quite fierce, burning the flames of battle into Manchester United's penalty area many times, and Dech, who was not busy in the first half Ya, it's been a busy time too.
The game for a while was finally more passionate than the first half. The Atlético Madrid fans in the stands of the Calderón Stadium cheered again and again, as if the goal was right in front of their eyes.
And the neutral fans finally became cautious. At least on the scene, this time was much better than the first half.
"Beautiful Griezmann!! He shoots!!! De Gea makes a fantastic save!!!"
"Koke's cross!!! This time Torres finally grabbed the point, and the head-shaking attack from the previous point went above the crossbar!!!"
"Saul kicked again from the outside!!! De Gea kicked the ball out of the baseline!!!"
The passion of the commentators also seemed to be ignited by Atletico Madrid's offensive, and the rhythm of the game was controlled by Atletico Madrid during this period.
It's just a pity that Atletico Madrid's offensive saw only thunder but no rain. Manchester United withstood Atletico Madrid's offensive and did not concede a goal.
After Atletico Madrid bombarded continuously for 10 minutes, seeing that they had not been able to break through Manchester United's goal, they also eased up a little bit. Although Atletico Madrid has excellent physical fitness, they are not iron men, and they also need to slow down their physical fitness. On the one hand, they are also worried that the gap behind them will be used by Manchester United. After all, it doesn't matter if they don't score a goal. If they lose a goal at home, it will be even more difficult for Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid slowed down.
It's just that Manchester United didn't take the opportunity to speed up the pace and kick it up.
Their investment in offense is still Li Qingshan, Di Maria, and Mata. The other Manchester United players did not even pass halftime.
Manchester United slowly passed back in the backcourt, which made Atletico Madrid, who was preparing to slow down in the backcourt, a little bit uncomfortable.
If they don't press up and grab it, United look like they can keep passing like this until the end of the game.
If the game continues like this, it will be detrimental to Atletico Madrid in the end-Manchester United can accept a zero-to-zero away game, but Atletico Madrid absolutely cannot accept it.
"Manchester United's game attitude is too negative. They seem to have no intention of attacking away. It has to be said that after Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Manchester United has gradually lost their tradition. This is a dangerous signal. Can Manchester United win the love of so many fans when they no longer have the style of Manchester United?" the Spanish commentator criticized.
Whether a team has fans because of its outstanding performance, or because of its good-looking style of play, this debate has been going on for a long time in the football world, and no one can convince anyone.
Manchester United's players naturally don't care whether their way of playing can please the fans. For the players, competing for championship honors is their motivation.
They are still unhurried and moving towards their established goals.
Manchester United is not in a hurry and won't come up, but Atletico Madrid can't hold their breath. Atletico Madrid, who haven't taken a breath, pressed up again to grab the ball at the feet of Manchester United players in the midfield. Fortunately, they have excellent physical fitness, otherwise I really can't run anymore.
The game continued to be so stalemate, and the time passed by every minute in this stalemate.
Seeing that the whole game has lasted to 65 minutes, and there are still 25 minutes before the end of the game, it can be said that the time left for Atletico Madrid has become less and less.
The score on the scoreboard remained motionless, and the score on the court was still zero to zero.
Simeone stood anxiously on the sidelines, watching the situation on the court.
He kept waving his hands, urging the players to press forward.
At this time, Atletico Madrid is already considering whether they can win.
Before the start of the game, Atletico Madrid expected to get more goal difference, but now, they only want one goal.
The gap between ideal and reality had to make Atletico Madrid players compromise,
But even this goal is very difficult to achieve.
In the 70th minute of the game, almost all Atletico Madrid players overwhelmed halftime before they knew it, and they bombarded around Manchester United's penalty area.
Griezmann is undoubtedly the focus of Atletico Madrid's offense, so he gets quite a lot of opportunities to hold the ball.
This time, Griezmann was holding the ball near the top of the penalty area, facing Kramer's defense. On the other side, Fellaini was already watching, ready to intercept the ball at Griezmann's feet.
However, the frequency at Griezmann's feet was quite fast. He flicked his right foot to the right, and then completed a shot before Fellaini rushed up.
The football passed through the gap between Kramer and Fellaini, but was blocked by Rojo in the penalty area.
Atletico Madrid's offense is still not over, Saul came up, directly facing the ball is a shot.
His shot still failed to penetrate Manchester United's defense. Valencia, who returned to the penalty area, blocked the ball with his chest. Ya confiscated.
Three consecutive shots in a short period of time. During this period of time, Manchester United fans felt like they were sitting on a boat on a rough sea. The huge waves roared and could smash this pass at any time.
Fortunately, De Gea finally took control of the ball.
Atletico Madrid's players did not go back. In their opinion, De Gea will definitely use this opportunity to delay time.
The Spanish commentator also regretted that this round of offensive failed to form a goal: "Atletico Madrid completed three shots in a short period of time. As long as they continue to put pressure on Manchester United's penalty area, they will collapse sooner or later!! Come on, Atletico Madrid !!"
However, inertial thinking made Atletico Madrid unaware of the imminent danger.
De Gea got up immediately after taking the ball this time, then looked at the frontcourt, and directly threw the ball and drove it over!
Before I knew it, there was only goalkeeper Oblak left in the half of Atletico Madrid! ! !
Li Qingshan retreated to the penalty area, then headed the ball a little bit, and continued to push the ball forward.
The football was ferried to the side by Li Qingshan and came to Mata's side.
Mata unloaded the ball with his chest, then raised his foot and passed the ball directly diagonally to the left, passing the ball through the half-court.
Di Maria started from near the center line, did not pass Atletico Madrid's half, and there was no offside problem.
Di Maria is fast! ! ! ,
When Atletico Madrid's players were attacking across the board, their defense was empty.
In front of Di Maria is a large expanse of open land! !
In the center and right, Li Qingshan and Mata also increased their speed.
Manchester United all three arrows! ! !This is an excellent counterattack opportunity! !
"Manchester United's counterattack!!!!" Duan Xuan shouted excitedly. There are not many scenes like this in this game. Although Manchester United's attack this time only had three players involved, but this time it is different. Yes, the rear of Atletico Madrid is too empty. When Di Maria ran forward, there was no Atletico Madrid player in front of him except the goalkeeper.
In other words, as long as he can take the ball down, he will be a single-handedly facing the goalkeeper! !
"Great goal!!! This is the chance Manchester United are looking forward to!! This is a one-shot!!! One-shot!!!!"
If this goal is scored, Manchester United will take away an away goal if they don't score, and it is very likely to take away a victory, then the chances of qualifying will be greatly increased!
As the soccer ball flew through the air, there was a loud, piercing booing at the Calderón Stadium.
The ball was too dangerous, so dangerous that there was fear in the eyes of Atletico Madrid fans.
Di Maria ran forward, watching the flight path of the football.
Within ten meters of him, there is not a single Atletico Madrid player! !
This is a one-shot! ! !
He can stop the ball calmly, and then choose the way to shoot calmly.
It's like training.
Di Maria adjusted his pace and stopped the ball with the inside of his foot.
However, he did not stop the ball, but let the football continue to run in front of him, allowing him to control the ball without slowing down.
Atletico Madrid's central defender Jimenez ran desperately into the penalty area-he didn't chase Di Maria, because running into the penalty area was a straight line at this time, much closer than chasing Di Maria up.
Di Maria controlled the ball and continued to dribble forward, while goalkeeper Oblak had also abandoned the goal.
After Di Maria brought the ball into the penalty area, Oblak was already in front of him.
Di Maria picks up the ball with his right foot, ready to pick it past Oblak.
But Oblak had been prepared for a long time, he jumped up suddenly, stretched out his hand, and slapped the ball out.
As for where the football shoots, Oblak can't control it-the most important thing now is to keep the football away from his goal.
Before the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands could breathe a sigh of relief, they immediately raised their hearts to their throats.
Appearing on the football landing point is Li Qingshan, who is very familiar to Atletico Madrid fans! ! !
At this moment, Li Qingshan was more than 30 meters away from the goal. He didn't waste any time and kicked the ball towards Atletico Madrid's goal immediately.
"Li Qingshan shot!!!!!!!" Duan Xuan shouted excitedly.
"DANGER!!!!!!!" The Spanish commentator was holding his head.
The football crossed an obvious parabola in the air, and after passing over the head of goalkeeper Oblak, the football fell towards the goal.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the ball, and time seemed to freeze.
The lights above the stadium seemed to be all focused on the speeding football.
Not many people noticed Jimenez running towards the goal in the penalty area.
Just when the football was about to fall into the goal, Jimenez, who was running for dozens of meters, finally arrived. He jumped high and pushed the ball over the crossbar.
"Jimenez!!!!!! Jimenez!!!!!! Goal line rescue!!! It's too critical, this ball is too critical!!! If there is no Jimenez's return defense that never gives up , let Manchester United score this goal, the consequences will be disastrous!!!" The Spanish commentator roared and praised Jimenez's performance.
Simeone on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief, and the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands applauded Jimenez's performance. The shocking Atletico Madrid players also stepped forward to hug Jimenez who saved the team .
The Manchester United players can only hold their heads in regret. This is the best chance they have had in this game.
"Unbelievable!! Jimenez saved the ball on the goal line. It's such a pity, if the goal had been scored, Manchester United could have a very large advantage in the two legs of the game, such an advantage is enough Let them have a very high probability of advancing to the final of the Champions League!!!" Duan Xuan also held his head in his hands in the studio.
Ancelotti also regretted not scoring the goal, but he also reacted quickly.
Manchester United still have a chance to attack from a corner kick!
This should be put to good use.
He waved his hands forward, signaling several tall players on Manchester United's defense line to rush up and prepare for a corner kick.
Hummels, Rojo, Cramer, Fellaini, plus Li Qingshan, such a long lineup puts great pressure on Atletico Madrid.
After rejoicing for a while, Simeone also knew that Manchester United would make a good fuss about set kicks. He loudly reminded the Atletico Madrid players on the sidelines to pay attention to Manchester United's corner kick defense!
Mata drove the ball out, looking for Li Qingshan's head.
Oblak, who had been prepared for a long time, abandoned the goal, leaped high, and took the ball off Li Qingshan's head.
No matter how high Li Qingshan jumped, he was still not as good as a goalkeeper who could use his hands.
When Oblak collided with Li Qingshan, he took the ball down and staggered a little when it landed.
The referee has already put the whistle in his mouth, and as soon as Oblak is down, he is ready to call Li Qingshan a foul for charging the goalkeeper in the penalty area.
However, Oblak insisted that he did not fall. Now that Manchester United finally pressed up, this is a very rare opportunity for Atletico Madrid to counterattack.
He threw his hands forward, and then lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the football is still in the hands of Atletico Madrid, the referee moves forward with both hands, and the attack is advantageous! !
Torres turned around with the ball, and then sent the ball directly to the wing.
Cork rushed up, and he was pretty fast.
Before Valencia kicked and destroyed, Cork directly moved the ball in a wide range and hit the other side! !
On this side is Griezmann! ! ! !
When Griezmann stopped the ball, only Manchester United left-back Sandro was left in front of him.
Griezmann dribbled the ball forward and drove into the penalty area.
Sandro didn't dare to make too many moves, he fought and retreated.
Griezmann didn't give Sandro much time to think. He swayed, made a fake move, dribbled the ball to the baseline, and then swung his right foot.
Going to shoot! !
Sandro hurriedly stretched out his foot to block the angle of the shot, but Griezmann still made a fake move. He dunked with his right foot, and then led the ball with his left foot.
Sandro didn't have time to recover his left foot and tripped Griezmann to the ground.
"beep"
The whistle sounded.
penalty! ! ! ! ! !
