Chapter 49 Griezmann
Simeone stood on the sidelines, wearing a black suit, black shirt, black leather shoes and a gloomy expression, giving people a sense of oppression that a storm was about to come.
"The bandit coach" Simeone instilled his will into this La Liga iron army, for which they broke the monopoly of Real Madrid on the La Liga championship last year and successfully won the La Liga championship trophy.
Despite repeated setbacks in the Champions League and always playing the role of tragic heroes, they still never gave up.
Just like Simeone's words at this time.
"Raise your head!
!——"
Simeone roared: "When you bow your head, you have already admitted defeat. Raise your head. It's just a goal. It's no big deal. Let's equalize the score!"
Simeone is a passionate coach, and so is his team.
When Simeone's voice fell, the players of Atletico Madrid in the entire stadium raised their heads.
The game is not over yet!
Yes!
It's just one goal behind, no big deal!
"They didn't give up!"
When retreating, Wilshere looked at the Atletico Madrid players with anger in their eyes and said to Lekai beside him.
Lekai nodded: "Do you think Atletico will give up because of a goal?"
Wilshere shrugged: "I hope so."
Lekai also smiled.
"Cheer up, the next game will be difficult to play."
The Arsenal players ended the celebration and returned to their own half, while Martinez was waiting for the kick-off in the center circle early, and the other Atletico players were the same. They seemed to be eager to attack.
Lekai could clearly feel the anger in these guys' hearts.
Beep!
!
The referee blew the whistle without hesitation.
The game started again.
Martinez passed the ball back, and the Arsenal players rushed up at the first time.
Aubameyang took the initiative to step forward to seek confrontation.
But as soon as he got close to Thiago, the opponent gave him a small inch punch and hit Aubameyang's ribs.
Aubameyang was in pain, and taking advantage of this time, Thiago immediately completed the transfer.
On the other side, Sanchez also took the initiative to move forward.
But Gabi also used his weight advantage to suppress Sanchez, but Sanchez was very smart and did not confront him head-on. Instead, he stayed by the opponent's side and showed a tendency to steal at any time.
Gabi did not dare to take the risk of passing the ball forward, so he passed it back to Juanfran.
In modern football, all positions can launch attacks, and defenders have also developed this ability, and Juanfran is naturally one of them.
He seized the opportunity when Lekai's position was slightly forward and directly made a long pass to Arsenal's half.
Martinez and Griezmann ran quickly to follow up.
Lekai looked at the ball flying over his head without panic, but hurried back. He believed that his teammates could limit the opponent and wait until he returned to defense.
But the fact is that Martinez failed to complete the header, and Mertesacker headed the ball to Lekai.
"Good shot!"
Lekai praised!
Mertesacker's condition is getting better and better, especially when facing this kind of high-altitude header.
Hearing Lekai's praise, Mertesacker also smiled.
After Lekai got the ball, he immediately switched to counterattack mode.
He passed the ball directly to Wilshere.
And the on-site commentator George Adams also shouted; "Arsenal counterattack!"
Arsenal's counterattack was very fast.
Almost three passes passed the ball into the opponent's penalty area.
Suarez moved forward and wanted to shovel, but Liu Kairui reacted faster and kicked the ball out of the baseline in advance.
Arsenal got another corner kick opportunity.
At this time, the time has come to 40 minutes.
Lekai called on his teammates to go forward to compete for the header.
In addition to Lekai, Mertesacker also went up.
It can be said that this is Arsenal's strongest lineup for the header.
Lekai and Mertesacker were both given special attention.
The two were surrounded and under great pressure.
In this situation, Wilshere passed the ball to Aubameyang who came to meet him, and took a tactical free kick.
But when Aubameyang passed the ball, the ball flew too low.
Juanfran at the front point used his chest to head the ball out, and it happened to land at Gabi's feet.
Gabi immediately passed it to Thiago, who dribbled a few steps quickly and then passed the ball to the empty space on the right.
Griezmann quickly followed up.
"Danger!
!——"
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse. More than ten seconds ago, Arsenal was still attacking, but now their penalty area was under great threat.
Griezmann chased the ball and cut inside.
At almost a small angle, he poked the ball with his toes.
The ball went in through the gap between Cech's right leg and the goal post.
In the 42nd minute, Atletico Madrid equalized with a quick counterattack.
"Great Griezmann, great Atletico Madrid, they equalized! Great! In the last period of the first half, the Madrid warriors once again showed their resilience, and they equalized with this beautiful counterattack."
"Antoine Griezmann, he is the most threatening striker of Atletico Madrid, he is the guarantee of goals!"
The Spanish commentator shouted excitedly.
They had just fallen behind for less than 10 minutes, and Atletico Madrid's warriors helped them equalize the score.
Even if there is something more wonderful than this, the only thing left is to overtake the score.
And they firmly believe that Atletico Madrid can win.
Hahahahahahaha!
!
On the sidelines, Simeone laughed wildly.
This rough man celebrated excitedly. He celebrated Atletico Madrid's equalization and also celebrated his beloved disciple's goal.
He trusted Griezmann, so he believed that Atletico Madrid would definitely win.
Lekai stopped on the way back and shook his head helplessly.
Is the pressure too aggressive?
No!
There is nothing wrong with the idea of wanting to score.
It's just that the details were not fully controlled.
If it was Arsenal last season, even if the attack failed, it would not give the opponent such a counterattack opportunity.
Lekai sighed.
It was not easy to score, but the opponent equalized the score again.
Both sides returned to the same starting line.
And the first half of the game is about to end.
In the next few minutes, neither Arsenal nor Atletico Madrid took the risk to move forward again, but defended safely.
Waiting for the second half of the game.
When the halftime whistle sounded, the players from both sides walked into the locker room.
The commentator also analyzed the situation in the first half again.
"I have to say that the quality of this game is very high. Although there were only two goals, the performances of both teams on both offense and defense were extremely exciting, especially Arsenal's offensive style became more decisive and concise. I think this offensive mode is more suitable for the current Arsenal!"
"I think so too. In the past, Arsenal always liked to pass the ball into the opponent's goal, but compared to this cumbersome running position, a one-step goal is faster!"
"And modern football is also developing in the direction of systematization, simplicity, and speed. Arsenal needs to make some rectifications. Now this style of play is very suitable for them!"
After a pause, Andy Gray smiled and said, "Of course, throughout the first half, there is a player who impressed us very deeply!"
"Kai!"
Commentator partner Richard said the name directly.
Andy Gray also nodded in approval and said, "Yes! It's Kai! Until last season, Kai gave us the impression of being rough, defensive, and a spiritual leader, but after entering this season, he frequently joined the offense and repeatedly had outstanding performances. We have reason to believe that Kai's future will develop in a diversified or all-round direction."
Richard: "Wenger said it a long time ago. He said that Kai is the core of Arsenal. The so-called core means all-round! I think Kai has already shown this trait before, but Arsenal had Cazorla at the time, and Kai didn't need to do these jobs. There was also pressure from the Champions League, so Wenger prefers stability to exercise."
"Now, Arsenal is not in a good situation, and Pats has also begun to seek changes. Kai is obviously the most important point. "
Andy Gray: "Of course, in addition to Kai, Wilshere's performance is also surprising. This former prodigal son has turned back. Throughout the game, he completed dribbling breakthroughs and instigated attacks many times, and even had an assist. But the most surprising thing is his running distance!"
"According to statistics, he is the player with the most running distance except Kai! God! Can you believe it? In the first half, Wilshere ran the distance of the previous game! "
