Football: Don’t talk about feelings, I’m just an AI

Chapter 191 Atletico Madrid’s madness, win first

The Champions League semi-finals, no matter who the opponent is, will definitely be a hit in entertainment news.

Furthermore, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid already have their own traffic.

Arsenal's predecessor was an arsenal. It calls itself a civilian team.

But compared with Atletico Madrid, Arsenal is actually in the middle class, while Atletico Madrid is the real civilian team.

For this team, the temperament of coach Simeone represents the temperament of the entire team.

They have nothing to lose, but they have the capital to win!

This is because their team is low-key and pragmatic, and the players themselves are not very capable. Even the team's superstar "Beauty of the Century" Diego Costa has an ability value of no more than 95.

However, everyone on the team loves football and has a positive attitude towards the game. It is the only team in world football that vividly interprets "life continues to fight".

Atletico Madrid arrived in London two days in advance. After getting off the plane, Simeone faced the camera and said: "I will not speculate on the final result. The game has to be played one by one. Don't expect that your hard work will be rewarded, but if you don't work hard, there will be no reward." ”

His disciple Diego Costa said in an interview with reporters: "We are not here just for tourism. It is necessary to take away a victory."

Mario Suarez said in response to a reporter's question: "Whether the opponent is strong or not is not something we need to consider. What we have to do is fight for ourselves, fight for Atletico Madrid, and fight for La Liga..."

Unlike Atletico Madrid's aggressiveness, Arsenal players were not to be outdone before the game.

When faced with the interview, Balotelli raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a confident smile, and said loudly: "Huh, Atletico Madrid is nothing more than that. We at Arsenal will definitely crush them in this game and let them see our true strength." !”

Xia Qi looked calm and said softly: "The game has not started yet, everything is possible. We at Arsenal will use our actions on the field to prove who is the real strong one."

Both sides expressed their determination to win before the game, but during training, they invariably adopted closed training.

After the Atletico Madrid team settled in White Hart Lane, they did not appear in front of the media until one hour before the game, when they reappeared in the public eye.

At the Colney training base, Wenger paid close attention to the players' physical training in the week before the game.

Simeone's tactics are like a pack of wolves hunting for prey when defending, and like a dog grabbing a flying saucer when attacking.

Both wolves and dogs require extremely high "blood volume", and the opponents competing with them are also forced to require "high blood volume".

Wenger was worried that his disciples' "blood volume" was insufficient, so he trained them. Of course, physical reserve is a long-term task. Just one week of additional training may not have much effect, but some practice is better than no practice.

So Wenger still asked the physical coach to make arrangements. In his words, it is better to train the players until they are tired than to collapse on a woman's belly.

This is indeed the case. The paparazzi who want to catch news have not seen Arsenal players in the charming town for a week.

...

...

In the history of the Champions League final, this is the first time the two teams have met, and it is also the first time they have met in the European war. (Note: The 18-year Europa League semi-final was the first meeting between the two teams in history.)
The media gave this the greatest enthusiasm. As soon as the team buses of the two teams arrived at the Emirates Stadium, they were frantically photographed by reporters who had been waiting for a long time. In an instant, the flash lights connected together, making the night look like day.

Arsenal's game discipline stipulates that reporters are not allowed to be interviewed before the game. This is because they are worried that the players will have emotional fluctuations after the interview, which will affect the game.
The same goes for Atletico Madrid,

After getting off the bus, the players from both sides lowered their heads, ignored the microphones stretched out in front of them, and hurried into the locker room.

After entering the locker room, Wenger said loudly: "Everyone, sit down first and listen to me. I know how you feel now.

But it’s not easy to be an anti-Spanish hero. Our opponents are not weak. In my eyes, they are even stronger than Barcelona. At least Barcelona’s fighting spirit is not as strong as theirs.”

"We must treat tonight's game as a final. If we lose, our efforts throughout the season will be in vain..."

“In tonight’s game, you will run the most distance in your life, so you must allocate your physical energy reasonably.

When you feel tired, don't think about coming back in the next round. Either reach out and ask to be replaced, or grit your teeth and persevere. If you defeat the mad dog, you will only be an even crazier dog, not the next time. "

In the locker room on the other side, Simeone is also doing pre-match mobilization...

Unlike the conflicts between players, the press conference before the game was very dull.

The hot-tempered gangster looked polite in his suit and leather shoes, which made the reporters at the scene quite uncomfortable.

This is the first time Simeone has played against Wenger. He always likes to talk trash, so he made a special effort to get to know Wenger before the game.

The better I get to know Wenger, the more I can't help but admire this senior.

Simeone feels that he and Wenger are very similar. Both of them have middle-class budgets but manage wealthy families.

Moreover, the results of the two of them are considered to be qualified. The clubs they manage are hanging on the tail of the wealthy, and they are called quasi-rich.

Simeone doesn't want to talk trash about such an opponent.

And Wenger is even more impossible. Except for Mourinho, Wenger is quite elegant to everyone, even if the opponent is Ferguson.

The boring press conference ended quickly and it was back to the locker room.

Wenger once again emphasized the fighting spirit. The key to fighting to the end of this game may not be the skills and tactics, but the fighting spirit most likely.

On the other side, Simeone said to the players: "I want you to treat this game like a Champions League final."

"We have been preparing for this game for half a month. That Xia Qi is very strong, but they are only as strong as Xia Qi alone.
As long as we follow our previous tactical arrangements, we can definitely kill him by sneaking around. No matter how good a sports car is, it will be scrapped without oil. "

"I believe that when we get rid of these monkeys, victory will definitely belong to us!!!"

"Raul, Thiago, Gabi, you must keep your eyes on that Xia Qi at all times. When it's time to double-team, double-team him. There's no shame in that. That's Mr. Golden Ball."

...

...

"Penguin Sports!"

"Penguin Sports!"

"Penguin Sports!"

"Viewers, everyone is welcome to watch the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg live broadcast for you on the Penguin Live platform in the early morning of Thursday. Arsenal will face La Liga upstart Atletico Madrid at the Emirates Stadium."

"I am your old friend Zhan Jun."

"Hello, viewers, I am Zhang Lu."

"Under the UEFA Champions League theme song, players from both sides began to enter the stadium..."

"Tonight's Emirates Stadium is packed with seats. The whole place is a sea of ​​red and white. Oh, I'm sorry, there are also many Atletico Madrid fans. They are wearing red and white jerseys. From a distance, they look like Arsenal fans. .

Tonight, Atletico Madrid is the visiting team, and the players are wearing yellow and black jerseys, but the Atletico Madrid fans traveling with the team are wearing Atletico Madrid home jerseys. "

"Teacher Zhang, I think Atletico Madrid's away jersey is very beautiful. The chest, front and back are all yellow, and the sleeves on both sides are black. It looks very beautiful."

"Yes, the design of this jersey with slant hooks is good, but I prefer the red and white sheets that represent a kind of spirit..."

"The captains of both teams have ended the guessing ceremony, and Atletico Madrid captain Gabi chose the ball."

"Beep!" "With the referee's whistle, the game begins!"

"The person wearing the yellow jersey attacking from left to right is the visiting team Atletico Madrid.
Their starting lineup is 442
The goalkeeper is: Courtois.

The "Friendly Wives Gate" that caused a lot of noise some time ago is talking about Courtois and De Bruyne...

The four defenders are: Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Felipe
Four midfielders: Raul Garcia, Thiago, Gabi, Koke

Forwards: Diego Costa, Villa
Arsenal's starting lineup is the familiar 451...

This is the lineup that will play against Barcelona in the first leg of the quarter-finals. "

...

...

Both Simeone and Klopp studied under Bielsa, and their teams both emphasized the full-court press, but only Simeone inherited Bielsa's "crazy".
There's a reason Simeone's team are called the Mad Dogs.

It was the first time the two teams met in the European competition. When the game started, there was no testing or slowly finding the match state. Instead, the intensity went straight to the game.
There is probably only one Simeone family in the world!

After the kick-off, Atletico Madrid's left midfielder Koke broke through on the wing and was destroyed by Gustavo. In order to prevent Arsenal from counterattacking, Koke immediately brought Gustavo down without hesitation.

At this time, it was only the fourth minute of the game, and Cork received a yellow card for this.

Wenger thought Simeone would be angry because of this, and turned around to look, only to find Simeone standing on the sidelines applauding and raising his palms high in the air to high-five Cork in celebration.

This,
This,
Is this a tactic? ?
Wenger was stunned!

Two yellows and one red will not change for anyone. Koke is one of the engines of Atletico Madrid's midfield, so he received a yellow card at the beginning. Is this appropriate?

Damn it! I am competing with a madman.

Wenger withdrew his gaze and looked at the court worriedly. He made a mistake. He made a mistake. He thought that the madness of the mad dog's playing style was just "cannot run to death", but it turned out that there was still something wrong.

Atletico Madrid played so rough, and Wenger was afraid that the players would not be able to adapt. After all, the team had just experienced Wilshere's season-ending incident, and Wenger had reason to worry that "Fu Huan" and his like would appear in the team.
Those who love Fu Huan will be defeated!
Maybe this is why Simeone dared to let the core players take the card so early!
The game continued to develop in the direction Wenger feared...

In the eighth minute, Atletico Madrid's right back Juanfran was near the center circle and brought down Xia Qi with a flying shovel in an unnecessary place.

The referee on duty, Italian whistler Rizzoli, showed another yellow card.

But it was of no use. Atletico Madrid did not restrain their actions because they received two yellow cards in the first eight minutes.

"...Simone was dirty when he was a player, but after becoming a coach, a dog can't stop eating shit, he is still dirty."

Compared with Zhan Jun, who is inclined to Xia Qi, he speaks indiscriminately.

Zhang Lu’s explanation would be more tactful:
"The characteristic of Simeone's tactics is that he is more aggressive, forcing Xia Qi and others to be unable to control the ball well under high pressure.

However, this is a double-edged sword. Atletico players' frequent bookings are very likely to put the team in danger at some point in the future. "

On the court, Arsenal quickly took a free kick in the backcourt. Balotelli received the ball with his left foot, stopped and dribbled past Miranda who was defending him, and faced the "Cao Thief" Courtois with a low shot.
The football was held in Courtois's arms. He quickly stood up and kicked off the ball with his big foot.

Garcia jumped up in the frontcourt and headed the ball across.

Diego Costa was in the middle of the penalty area and shot a volley without waiting for the football to fall.

The football missed the goal post.

"Both sides each had a shot opportunity after the opening, but neither scored."

A minute later, Atletico Madrid made a passing error while moving at high speed.

Under the double pressure of De Bruyne and Cazorla, Gabi could only pass the football back to the defender.

When Atletico Madrid center back Godin stopped Gabi's mid-high ball, he failed to judge the distance.
The football hit his calf, not the top of his foot.

The football bounced out,

Xia Qi, who had been swimming near him, took a big step forward and chased the football like a whirlwind.

"Oops, Godin made a mistake! Xia Qi! This is an opportunity, shoot!"

As Zhan Jun shouted to the sky, Xia Qi, who caught up with the football, was kicked directly.

Cut to the ground!
The football moved forward quickly against the turf and rushed towards the near corner of the goal.

Unfortunately, Courtois was very focused when facing a "love rival" team. After Godin made a mistake, he immediately moved his steps.

It's like he predicted Xia Qi's shot in advance. If it were Al, he might have predicted his shot to the far corner, and maybe the ending would have been completely different.

In front of the goal, Courtois kicked himself with both legs and "shot" himself out. His left hand was stretched forward as far as possible against the turf, and finally he pushed the football out of the baseline before it rushed into the goal.

A uniform cry of regret echoed over the Emirates Stadium.

Just a little bit, if the ball had been a little faster or Courtois had been a little slower, the football would have passed in front of his fingertips.

Xia Qi also shook his head regretfully. At the moment of shooting, Xia Qi had actually seen Courtois moving, but at that time his brain could no longer give instructions. This is where the human brain is not as good as Al.

After Courtois got up, Godin ran back and gave him a hug.

The mistake just now was due to his carelessness. If Courtois hadn't turned the tide, he would have been the culprit for Atletico Madrid's loss of the ball.

Arsenal took a corner kick and was pushed out of the penalty area by Godin. After Thiago got the ball, he passed a long pass to Diego Costa.

Diego Costa was not well-known at this time. He was bought by Atletico Madrid from the Portuguese Super League in 07 but was then loaned to La Liga B. Two years later, he moved to La Liga Valladolid.

In 2010, Atletico Madrid said "I was blind, I was wrong" and activated the buy-back clause to buy back Diego Costa.

Subsequently, Shengshi Meiyan gradually became famous in La Liga. What really became famous was joining Chelsea after the World Cup...

At this moment, Diego Costa's reputation is not obvious. Arsenal did not double-team him but let Gustavo guard him alone.

However, Diego Costa after starting speed is just like Rooney and Adriano at their peak.
How can a tank be stopped by the body?

As expected, the strong Gustavo was knocked over by the more powerful Diego Costa.

There was a burst of exclamation in the sky above the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal fans ate a lot of cold air at that moment.

Diego Costa rushed to the front of the penalty area with lightning speed.

Before Mertesacker caught up to block it, he stepped on the line of the penalty area and fired with a lever.

When the football approaches the goal, there is an obvious drop.

Martinez, who threw himself confidently, didn't touch the ball at all and could only watch the ball fall into the net.

0: 1!

Atletico Madrid, playing away from home, won first.
