Chapter 317
The English commentator also felt that Liverpool's luck was not good enough: "There was a goal in the first 4 minutes, and it was an unexpected goal... Atletico Madrid's luck is really good!"

Taking the lead in 4 minutes, this greatly boosted the morale of Atletico Madrid players.

When the game restarted, they almost laid siege to Liverpool.

Although they do have a lot of space behind them for Liverpool to counterattack.

But Liverpool couldn't even pass the ball.

Including Lin Yi, almost every Liverpool player who took the ball received "meticulous" care from Atletico Madrid players.

Lin Yi was "cut down" to the ground like a tree by Atletico Madrid players.

However, the referee did not make any penalty on this. He did not call the Atletico Madrid player for a foul, thinking that this was a normal physical contact.

If this were at Anfield, the fans would definitely express their dissatisfaction with the referee's decision by booing.

At the Calderon Stadium, when Lin Yi fell to the ground, there were indeed huge boos, but the boos were not for the referee, but for Lin Yi.Atletico Madrid fans believed that Lin Yi was diving. The first purpose was to delay time, and the other was to make Atletico Madrid players receive yellow cards.

However, the slow-motion replay showed that Lin Yi did not fall, but that he was really brought down to the ground by Gabi's hands and feet.

What happened to Lin Yi is just a microcosm. Atletico Madrid suppressed Liverpool in all aspects, and you have their physical advantages and fighting spirit.

Liverpool, on the other hand, were a bit underprepared.

They were frightened by Atletico Madrid's crazy counterattack at home.

In addition, Kante's absence from this game due to accumulation of yellow cards also brought some hidden dangers to Liverpool's defense in the middle of the midfield. The protection around Lin Yi is not as strong as before.Although Toure, who replaced him, worked hard, after all, he was old, didn't play many games, and his physical condition and condition were not on the same level as Kanter.

He doesn't exactly fill Kanter's shoes.

In the 15th minute, Toure fouled Griezmann in front of the penalty area, allowing Atletico Madrid to get a well-positioned free kick.

Koke's free kick was only slightly over the crossbar, but it still scared the Liverpool supporters.

No. 20 In the second minute, Juan Fran made a pass and Griezmann shot from the right side of the penalty area. As a result, goalkeeper Mignolet pounced. Liverpool defender Skrtel, who returned to defense, quickly kicked the football. Out of the sideline.

Thiago comes and throws the foul ball.

The football was thrown directly to Liverpool's penalty area.

Oliver Torres raised his foot and stopped the thrown football for a moment, but he didn't stop it properly the first time. The football bounced up again, and it bounced a little high.

Lovren jumped up and tried to push the football away.

Unexpectedly, Oliver Torres moved faster than him, and immediately stretched out his foot to pick the football, allowing Lovren to miss it.

Then Oliver Torres adjusted his posture, with his back to the goal, he directly made an overhead kick!

Amid cheers from the stands, Oliver Torres kicked the ball into the far post of Liverpool's goal.

Mignolet made a save, but the ball was too close and sudden, and Mignolet was still half a beat late.

Fortunately, Oliver Torres's shot did not hit the goal frame, and the football missed the far post and flew out of the baseline!
Cheers turned to heavy sighs.

"Oliver Torres——! Beautiful hook! But unfortunately it missed a little in the end... If this goal had been scored, it would have been a heavy blow to Liverpool's morale!" the Spanish commentator shouted with regret.

"Danger! Oliver Torres almost hit the world with a kick! Liverpool's defense was too lax in this game. How could we give him two consecutive opportunities to adjust in the penalty area?" the England commentator criticized unceremoniously.

"Atletico Madrid burst out with super energy at home, but Liverpool was obviously not prepared for it. They were frightened. In addition, the referee's penalty scale today was slightly biased towards the home team Atletico Madrid. Of course, this is normal. , and it is not the reason for the team's poor performance. If Liverpool continues to play like this, I am afraid that it will usher in a disastrous away defeat!" He Wei said anxiously.

Although Liverpool also had some counterattacks, the quality was not very high, and the players' condition today was indeed average. Some people were not even excited enough and failed to enter the game state and rhythm...

For example, Firmino originally had another good opportunity in the counterattack, but he chose the worst way to deal with it-shoot directly from outside the penalty area.

The ball unsurprisingly hit the flak...

"Firmino's choice... there are not many opportunities in the first place, but it is so wasted..."

Klopp on the sidelines was also dissatisfied with Firmino's kick. He yelled with a terrifying facial expression.

In the 301st minute, Atletico Madrid launched an attack.Oliver Torres pulled to the edge of the penalty area to get the ball.

Liverpool center back Skrtel chose to tackle Oliver Torres, resulting in a foul.

Not only did he give Atletico Madrid a free kick, he also received a yellow card.

"Skrtel was too reckless. This foul was unnecessary!" He Wei couldn't understand why Skrtel did this. "Now, as a central defender, I have received a yellow card. How will I play in the next game? It will definitely be affected..."

Atletico Madrid took this free kick, and Fernando Torres grabbed the point in the penalty area and headed the goal!

Fortunately, Mignolet chose his position correctly, jumped up, and dragged Torres' header over the crossbar with one palm...

"Atletico Madrid's morale is so high now. It's really no matter how they play. It feels like they can threaten Liverpool's goal every time they attack..." He Wei said with emotion. "Liverpool was completely suppressed... It would be very dangerous to continue playing like this!"

Atletico Madrid won a corner kick because of Torres' header.

After the corner kick was taken, it was pushed out of the baseline by Lovren, so Atletico Madrid continued to take corner kicks.

There was an attack for the second time, but Gabi's header was blocked by Piszczek with his body.

Atletico Madrid came to take a corner kick for the third time in a row.

This time they did not kick directly in front of the goal, but chose a tactical corner kick.

The football was passed to Torres who came up to receive the ball.

Torres brought back, pulled out players from both sides of the Liverpool penalty area, and then suddenly passed the football into the penalty area.

The football drew an inner lake line and went straight to the back point of the goal.

Mignolet quickly turned around to block the back point.When the football was about to fly out of the baseline, Juan Fran hit the horse, jumped up and swept the football back in the air!
The football flew past Mignolet, who had no time to react.

But in fact, he doesn't have to worry too much, because there are three teammates in front of the goal.

As long as one of them can touch the football, he can clear the football...

But a shocking thing happened - the football flew past Skrtel, Lovren and Toure. All three people made moves to clear the ball, but no one was able to touch the football!

The football just flew to the other side unimpeded, and then Griezmann rushed up to win the ball with a push!
The football flew into the unguarded Liverpool goal!
Unfortunately, He Wei was right...

"Griezmann——! Oh oh oh! Atletico Madrid 2:0! That's great!" the Spanish commentator shouted excitedly.

"Oops!" the England commentator was very disappointed with the goal conceded. "What are Liverpool's defense doing? Three people! Three people, none of them can touch the football! And Griez was missed in the back. Man!"

"The aggressive Atletico Madrid completely panicked Liverpool. This defense was really amateurish..." He Wei also had to criticize Liverpool's performance.

When Griezmann scored, the entire Calderon Stadium seemed to have experienced an earthquake. The buildings were shaking, and people seemed to be unable to stand on top...

All Atlético Madrid fans roared and jumped crazily in the stands.

Every Liverpool fan is terrified. They don’t know why Liverpool, which was the Cosmos team not long ago, was beaten by Atletico Madrid...

The TV broadcast cut to the faces of fans on both sides of the court.

The fans of Atletico Madrid were naturally cheering, let alone excited.

The Liverpool fans covered their mouths with their hands and could not move nervously.

The performance of the players on both sides fully illustrates the current situation and situation of the two teams.

Then some shots were given to the players and the head coach of both sides.

Klopp sat on the coaching bench and looked helplessly at the situation in front of him.

When the game restarted, Atletico Madrid, which had already chased two goals in a row, was naturally full of morale and frantically unleashed their offensive firepower on Liverpool's goal.

During this period, Liverpool could only return to defense across the board, with everyone shrinking within their own 30-meter area and participating in the defense.

"...Liverpool's biggest wish now should be to end the first half quickly so that it can enter the halftime break, so that Klopp has a chance to adjust. And the 15 minutes of the halftime break may also interrupt Atletico Madrid's excellent state... …”

Under such circumstances, when Lin Yi has the ball, he will always try to pass the ball to Salah.

Whenever this happens, when the rest of the team is easily affected by changes in the situation, there is always one person who doesn't care about changes in the outside world at all.

Whether he is in adversity or good times, he plays according to his own rhythm and ideas.

When encountering difficulties, there is such a person who can often preserve hope for the team.

After Salah gets the ball, his task is very simple, that is to find ways to bring the football to the frontcourt and clear a path for Liverpool's counterattack.

Although they failed most of the time, Salah and Lin Yi did not give up. They were not moved by failure and still insisted on this style of play.

And gradually, it really allowed him to make a way.

After all, when Atlético Madrid is pressing forward like crazy, they have a lot of space behind them. As long as Salah succeeds once, it can really create a killing opportunity.

This makes Atletico Madrid have to be afraid.

After bombarding the Liverpool goal for a while without scoring, Atletico Madrid had to start to slow down and end this siege style of play.

So Liverpool could finally press forward as a whole and attack.

Lin Yi took the time to give Salah a thumbs up. This was the result of his tireless efforts.

At this time, the game has progressed to No. 403 minutes, and the first half is coming to an end.

Liverpool was unable to concede any more goals, which can be regarded as completing the team's goal.

Next, just wait until the end of the first half and Klopp will make adjustments.

In many people's imagination, Liverpool should choose to defend and counterattack in the second half, first solidify the defense, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack Atletico Madrid.

After all, in everyone's opinion, Liverpool is still stronger on paper. Even if they give up a Kante, it is not an excuse for Liverpool to be suppressed.

As long as Liverpool can hold its ground, Atletico Madrid will be stuck in a tough fight...

As for Atletico Madrid, although they can guess Liverpool's arrangements for the second half, they have no better way now. There are still 2 minutes left before the end of the first half. After nearly 10 minutes of furious attack, they failed to break through Liverpool. Of course, the goal must be stable now. It would be embarrassing if Liverpool used a counterattack to score a goal before the end of the first half...

This was Atletico Madrid's helpless choice. Who prevented them from taking advantage of the momentum of scoring two goals in a row to defeat Liverpool?
Speaking of which, Atletico Madrid players really hate Salah... His tenacious attack is also one of the main reasons why Atletico Madrid failed to score the Liverpool goal for the third time.

Because they were afraid of Liverpool's counterattack, Atletico Madrid did not devote all its strength to the offense, and had to keep a hand in defense to guard against Salah's counterattack...

In the 404th minute, Liverpool got a throw-in on the left side of the frontcourt, just past the center line.

No. 404 minutes, with 1 minute left before the end of the first half, Liverpool got a throw-in on the left, just past the center line.

Left back Johnson went up to Atletico Madrid's ball boy to ask for the ball, preparing to throw the throw-in.

But Atletico Madrid's ball boy did not throw the football back to him immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment, and then threw the football hard into the court. The football went over Johnson's head and landed near the center circle.

This was obviously a ploy by the caddy to stall for time.I don’t want to give Liverpool a chance to attack before the end of the first half...

Although Johnson has a bad temper, he does not dare to do anything to the caddy or the child, otherwise he will face severe punishment.

He could only spread his hands and complain to the referee about the opponent's behavior.

As a result, there was applause and cheers from Atletico Madrid fans in the stands, which of course were all for the "witty" ball boy.
