Chapter 120: Playing Football. [Fourth Update]

All Atletico Madrid players came back to defend.

Atletico Madrid is a team that plays defensive counterattack.

They are certainly not the only ones who can play high pressure.

When necessary.

They are also quite stable in the squat toilet.

For example, the 2014 Champions League final.

Because Atletico Madrid scored a goal in the 36th minute of the game.

So they hunkered down and defended for nearly sixty minutes - until the 93rd minute and 48 seconds of the game.

Ramos equalized with a header.

If not.

Simeone might have led Atletico Madrid to a historic Champions League title.

They were able to face Real Madrid's fierce attack and defend for nearly sixty minutes.

Atletico Madrid's ability to park the bus is evident.

So Simeone now decided not to give Monaco the space to continue with its previous tactics, and he pulled his men back.

If Monaco continues to play long passes.

He is no longer afraid.

Because there are enough defenders, the success rate of long passes is very low.

The most important thing is that it will cause the ball to change hands frequently.

Atletico Madrid can seize the opportunity of transition and launch a counterattack.

Retreating to defend does not mean that Atletico Madrid has given up attacking.

Simeone called the players' names, asking them to compress the formation, build a defense line in front of the penalty area, and compress the space for Monaco players to move.

In this way, it is ensured that every Monaco forward has at least two players watching him.

Yalding saw this scene.

He immediately came to the sidelines and kept gesturing with his fingers.

The Monaco players on the field understood the coach's intention.

Their offensive formation was redeployed.

The two central defenders moved apart, Fabinho dropped back to the defensive line, and the two full-backs pressed forward to form two wing-backs.

Monaco deployed its offensive formation into 343. The purpose of doing so was to facilitate the connection between the three forwards, pass the ball to the three forwards, and let them attack the opponent's goal.

Monaco has a killer weapon to attack dense defense, and that killer weapon is sunlight.

"Yang Yang! Long shot! Oh! Oblak's key save!"

Facing the long shot from the sun, Oblak didn't dare to catch the ball with his hands, even though the angle was very right.

He punched out with both fists and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

Feeling the force of the football hitting his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he did not overreact.

This was his first encounter with the sun.

Before this, he had watched a lot of Yangguang's game videos and knew that Yangguang's shooting was very powerful and he could make long shots with great force.

But it is impossible to have an accurate concept of how powerful this power is unless you experience it yourself.

The only thought in his mind now was: What a terrifying force!

The Spanish commentator knows about Sunshine because it defeated Real Madrid in the Super Cup.

"Although the goal was scored by Falcao, the player Atletico Madrid needs to focus on most is not Falcao, but should still focus on defending Sunshine"

The commentator of Radio Marca frowned.

Atletico Madrid pulled their formation back.

Monaco took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce attack.

During this period, Atletico Madrid had no chance of counterattack at all.

The ball was cleared and caught by Monaco players on the periphery.

The two central defenders and Fabinho even managed to cross the half court.

Griezmann, who remained in the frontcourt, was watched by Glick, while Fabinho and Germón were responsible for recovering the ball that was cleared to the periphery.

This offensive posture is really crazy.

But that's the Monaco way.

Attack! Attack! Attack again!

In the frontcourt.

The three forwards alternated with each other, constantly running and moving.

Creating chaos for Atletico Madrid's defense.

Looking for shooting opportunities in the chaos.

In this process, Yangguang fully demonstrated his attacking power against the goal.

All his skills are designed to attack the goal.

Just like it is now.

Mbappe moved to the right to receive the ball, then he passed the ball horizontally to Yangguang and cut diagonally into the penalty area.

Yangguang took the ball and pulled it gently to avoid Gabi who was trying to rush up to steal the ball. Then he turned around and squeezed his body to push Gabi away.

Then he knocked the ball with his heel, turned around, and forced a shot.

The football flew out with a bang and hit the chest of Jimenez who rushed forward to defend.

The football bounced out of the baseline.

The poor Atletico Madrid center back fell to the ground as if he had been shot and lay there for a long time before he recovered.

To block the door from the sunlight.

Atletico Madrid's defensive players have performed such self-sacrificing defense many times.

Simeone, who was standing off the field, was very anxious.

In the past, it was Atletico Madrid that made others feel miserable.

The current scene makes many people worry about Atletico Madrid.

Especially the corner kick comes again
Every corner kick taken by Monaco can make the opponent tremble.

Now Simeone doesn't even dare to expect his players to fight back.

It would be good enough to hold on in the first half and not continue to lose the ball.

Corner kick attack is Monaco's main offensive method.

soon.

The restricted area was crowded with people.

Both central defenders pressed forward.

Plus three forwards.

A total of five players stayed in the penalty area.

On the periphery, two full-backs are trailing behind to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.

The two midfielders pressed at the edge of the penalty area, ready to ambush for an opportunity to shoot outside the penalty area.

B席 was going to take the corner kick.

Germersson and Mbappe are in front.

Glick and Falcao are at the back post.

Yangguang is in the middle, standing on the penalty area line, ready to rush in at any time.

Although he doesn't look to be in the most dangerous area.

But for defensive players.

He is definitely the central figure for Monaco in corner attack.

So Godin followed him out, sticking close to the sun, holding his jersey in his hands.

The referee will usually turn a blind eye to the pulling at this time. Just don't go too far and keep pulling when the ball comes.
So Godin is holding on tightly now.

The sun is helpless.

The ball hasn't come yet.

You've almost torn my jersey.

He also unceremoniously lowered his shoulder and pushed Godin away.

The tangle between them was noticed by the referee.

B席 took two consecutive run-ups but failed to take the corner kick.

Because the referee blew the whistle and came over to give the two of them a serious warning.

Yangguang spread his hands: "He was the one who pulled my jersey."

Godin responded: "It's normal to have some physical contact in this situation."

The referee ignored them, warned them not to go too far and then left the penalty area.

"Hey, if you want my autograph, I can give it to you after the game." Yangguang looked at Godin. Godin glared at Yangguang fiercely.

This damn kid.

I am a dozen years older than him.

Ask for his autograph.

Am I crazy?

Do you still want to save your reputation?
Wait for the referee to leave.

He's at it again.

The referee was helpless. If he had been too picky, there would have been no chance of taking the corner kick.
Yangguang ignored Godin and stared at B Silva in the corner flag area.

Seat B raised his arm.

Just now.

Mbappe suddenly ran towards the corner flag area.

It looks like a tactical corner kick.

Someone from Atletico Madrid immediately chased after them.

Just now.

B Silva kicked the ball out.

Instead of passing the ball to Mbappe, the ball was kicked and flew towards the goal in an arc.

at the same time.

Yangguang, who was standing near the penalty area line, made a big windmill move with his right hand, and with a snap he pushed away Godin's hand that was holding his jersey. Then he started quickly and went straight to the front point!

Atletico Madrid players didn't expect that Yang Guang did not rush to the middle of the penalty area, but rushed to the front point.

Mbappe ran forward, creating a little space in front and giving Sunshine a chance.

He sprinted and jumped while running, leaping high and heading the ball!

He headed the football and it flew to the back post.

The restricted area is crowded with people.

Oblak was about to step back to save the ball, but he collided with his teammate Gameiro - Gameiro was ambushed by Falcao when he was squeezing for position with Glick. Falcao saw Yangguang rushing forward and realized that Yangguang was going to turn his head to look for the back post, so he took the opportunity to bump into Gameiro, causing Gameiro to stagger and just block Oblak's retreat route.

The player standing at the back post is Griezmann.

The French international just used all his strength to jump up.

He also failed to head the ball.

The football went into the goal between his head and the crossbar.

The sunlight falling from the sky continued to rush forward, facing the cameras of photographers and reporters near the corner flag area.

He slid forward on his knees, spread his hands, pursed his lips, and turned his body from the sideline to the bottom line, just providing the best angle for the photographers and reporters around the corner flag area.

Atletico Madrid?

Champions League runner-up?

That's it?

Click click click.

The sounds of shutter clicks and flashes interweave in this area.

"Monaco gets a corner. Mbappe comes out, a tactical corner?"

The commentators' speaking speed was normal at the beginning until Yang Guang rushed to the front point.

"YANNNNNNNNNNNG!! Front point!! Header!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!"

"Beautiful! Beautiful header! Is there anyone in this world who is better at heading than him?"

"Monaco is two goals ahead. They are two goals ahead of last season's Champions League runner-up!"

When the sunshine slide is completed.

His teammates also rushed up.

They knocked Yangguang, who was posing for photos for reporters, to the ground, pressed on him, and celebrated excitedly.

The entire Stade Louis II.

Monaco players and fans cheered together.

The Atletico Madrid players rushed towards the referee.

"Foul! Foul! Offensive foul!!"

Oblak was extremely excited.

Gameiro also looked excited.

"He hit me, he hit me to interfere with the goalkeeper!"

Gameiro pulled at his jersey and protested loudly.

The referee was pointing to the center circle, indicating that the goal was valid.

Before he could react.

The Atletico Madrid players surrounded them in a rush.

A group of people had ferocious looks on their faces and stared at the referee viciously, as if they were going to beat him up on the spot if he didn't give an explanation.

The Atletico Madrid gang is worthy of its reputation.

So was Simeone on the sidelines.

One pull on the tie.

Rushed to the side of the fourth official.

"Foul! Damn it!"

He spat angrily at the fourth official.

"The Atletico Madrid players were very excited...but Sunshine's goal was very clean, right?"

The commentators didn't quite understand why Atletico Madrid players were so excited.

Until the TV replay gave everyone the answer.

"Oh Falcao, this ball. Hahaha, very Atletico Madrid."

French commentator Omar laughed.

Falcao exerted his body force at the critical moment to push Gameiro away. Gameiro himself staggered and blocked Oblak's path, and the two collided and fell to the ground.

As a result, Oblak failed to jump.
If Oblak could jump in time, it would be hard to say whether the ball could be scored or not.

“Is this really not a foul?”

The commentator of Cork Radio was actually quite unconfident.

Because of this "foul edge tactics", it's hard to say who is the master.

That must be Simeone's Atletico Madrid.

They are very good at manipulating the referee's standards and using some "borderline foul" actions to make it difficult for the referee to make a decision.

For example, what Falcao just did is like this.

Gameiro was on the defensive side and he was on the offensive side, the two sides were pushing and shoving each other, and there were moves on both sides.

It's hard to call a foul on this kind of ball.

If it was Falcao himself who blocked Oblak's path.

But it was Gameiro who went to block Oblak.

If the referee thinks there is no foul, then there is no foul. If he thinks there is a foul, that is also understandable - the edge of a foul gives the referee discretion.

The referee actually didn't see Falcao's action.

Because Falcao did this while hiding behind Glick.

Thus.

At the first moment, the referee ruled that the goal was valid.

There is no VAR now, so it is impossible for the ball to be called back.

therefore
Atletico Madrid was tricked by a former Atletico Madrid player in Atletico Madrid way.

"Hahaha, Falcao is worthy of being the former Atletico Madrid striker. I have learned the essence of it!"

"Beat Atletico Madrid the Atletico way."

"Why is Simeone so angry? Aren't his students learning well?"

A comment section for someone who understands.

Chinese fans were delighted.

"Radamel, look at them. Hahaha!"

After the celebration.

Everyone got up from the ground, turned around to look at the Atletico Madrid players who were still negotiating with the referee, and couldn't help laughing.

When running back, Yangguang took a detour to get in front of Godin.

"Hey, it's just playing football, there are some movements, it's normal."

Upon hearing this, Godin's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and his expression was as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a dead mouse.
