Chapter 1363 Dirty Defense 【Part [-]】
Atlético Madrid players don't tell you how to be gentlemen. They are the big players in La Liga. They are never afraid to take a card. If they think the foul is worth it, even a red card will not hesitate.
……
James Rodriguez is also in good form today. He passed Felipe Luis with a change of direction, but he did not continue to cut into the penalty area.Because Felipe Luis reacted quickly, he reached out and grabbed James Rodriguez's jersey. James Rodriguez knew that entanglement with Felipe Luis would only waste precious offensive time, so he decisively left. With a rub of his feet, he sent a half-high ball.
Lewandowski handled the ball very well. He unloaded his chest and dribbled into the penalty area. Facing the two central defenders of Atletico Madrid, Lewandowski suddenly kicked the goal after shaking continuously, but was still caught by Madrid. The competitive central defender Godin saw through, and the ball hit Godin's leg and popped out of the baseline.
Liverpool get the corner.
Logically speaking, the corner kick should be taken by Gerrard, he is Liverpool's first corner kick player, but this time Gerrard did not take the corner kick, he walked over and said something to Modric, and Modric walked towards corner flag area.
Gerrard himself ran into the penalty area to fight for the header. Although many people mentioned Gerrard scoring the goal, the first image in his mind was Gerrard bombarding the goal outside the penalty area. In fact, Gerrard's header ability is not good. Difference.
Liverpool's first goal on Istanbul night was derived from Gerrard's header, and it was this header that blew the clarion call for Liverpool's counterattack.
In the past three seasons, Gerrard scored three headers in the league.Of course, this statistic is not high, but it's not bad either. After all, Gerrard's header ability is better than Modric's.
This is why Gerrard asked Modric to take a corner kick and went into the penalty area to compete for the top.
Atletico Madrid did not despise Gerrard because he entered the penalty area to compete for the top. Atletico Madrid's defense general Godin arranged for Cork to mark Gerrard.
It is worth mentioning that Gerrard is a player that Cork respects very much. On the one hand, Gerrard and Cork are both midfielders. When he was young, Cork did not watch Gerrard's highlights to learn how to play midfield. , on the other hand is Gerrard's loyalty."I want to be Atletico Madrid's Steven Gerrard," Koke said in an interview with AS.
Gerrard does not seem to be the main force of this header, his role seems to be just to cover his teammates.Therefore, Gerald was very polite to Kirk. When Kirk stretched out his hand to take his arm, Gerald didn't slap Kirk's hand away angrily. He just turned his head to look at Kirk and smiled kindly. laugh.
This made Kirk a little embarrassed. After all, Gerrard was his fantasy, and the power in Kirk's hand was reduced a little.
At this moment, Modric started to run up, and Gerrard made a quick running forward, as if to grab the front point.
Kirk was startled, he had been tricked!He felt that he had to run after Gerrard, but when Modric kicked, Gerrard suddenly braked, made a reverse run, and quickly ran to the far corner of the penalty area.
If Gerrard and Cork were really allowed to run in a straight line on the football field, the almost 33-year-old Gerrard would definitely not be able to outrun the 21-year-old Cork, but when it comes to experience, Cork is not Gerrard at all opponent.Gerald's movement of running forward is very realistic, and Cork thinks that he has been tricked. Gerald must have stepped forward when he let go. He ran forward with all his strength, trying to catch Gerald. De front.
Who would have thought that Gerrard's move was just a fake move. When he found out that Gerrard had changed direction, it was too late for Cork to brake to catch up with Gerrard.
Gerrard communicated with Modric just now, not simply asking Modric to take a corner kick and go to the penalty area to cover himself, but to secretly formulate tactics.
Modric did not let Gerrard down, Gerrard ran to the preset position and jumped high, the football was just in place.
Gerrard looked at the moon like a rhinoceros and pushed the football towards the far end of the goal.
Goalkeeper Oblak reacted very quickly. He felt bad when he saw Cork being thrown away by Gerrard. He moved decisively and quickly to the far end of the goal to prevent Gerrard from hitting the far corner with a header, but Oblak still did not rush at the end. to football.After all, the angle of Gerrard's header is very tricky, and the football flashed past Oblak's fist.
Oblak was already desperate, he was even ready to go inside the goal to pick up the ball, but when he looked back, he heard a 'bang', and the ball hit the post and bounced out.
Gerrard pursued the angle too much, and the result was the angle and the angle.The football went past Oblak, but hit the post.
Godin was the first to wreck the football over the touchline.
Only at this time did Godin have time to take a look at Gerrard who was standing in the penalty area and sighed that he missed the shot just now-this man!Even though he's already in his thirties, he's still the one who has the ability to change the score!
"Look at him!" Godin yelled viciously at Cork.
Cork was a little ashamed, he gritted his teeth and said, "Next time I will watch him to death!"
Although Liverpool failed to score a goal in this attack, it also made Atletico Madrid feel the threat of Liverpool. They knew that they had to improve their defensive strength and could no longer let Liverpool get the ball easily.
…………
Stefan Lichtsteiner tossed the ball in for Eden Hazard, but Hazard had hardly had the ball before he found himself double-teamed by two Atlético Madrid players.
Hazard didn't want to pass the ball so easily. He wanted to pass the opponent, but his idea was very threatening. Mario Suarez kicked Hazard. It doesn't matter whether you have the ball or not, it is brutal kicking.
Hazard was caught off guard and was kicked by Mario Suarez and fell to the ground. Mario Suarez himself was also very smart, and he also fell to the ground with a scream.His team-mate Felipe Luis took the broken football and diverted it to the right of Atlético Madrid with a big foot.
The referee was not aware of the situation at the time. He saw Hazard fell to the ground, and Mario Suarez also screamed and fell to the ground. He hesitated for a moment and did not call a foul, indicating that the game was normal.
Li Wei was so angry that he immediately complained to the fourth official.
Simeone mocked from the side: "Aren't the Premier League teams all tough guys? Why have they become sissies now, and they will only complain to the referee!"
In addition to speaking, Simeone also made an exaggerated movement, posing as if he was about to fall to the ground, which is ironic that Hazard just fell to the ground as a flop.
Li Wei was furious, and quarreled with Simeone on the sidelines, and both sides pointed their fingers at each other's noses.
Although the fourth official had a headache for the coaches of the two teams, he did not panic.Before officiating the game, the fourth official had studied the personalities of the coaches of both teams.Li Wei is a well-known "tyrant" in football. Although Simeone is the head coach of the new generation, he was a well-known bad boy as early as his player days, and even got the nickname "Bandit Handsome" when he was a head coach.It is not normal for two personality coaches to bump into each other without causing any conflict.
The fourth official immediately stood between Li Wei and Simeone, blocked the two, and warned: "Please respect the referee's penalty, otherwise the referee will call you to the sidelines and invite you to the stands!"
At this time, Simeone was like a good boy, raised his hands, and said with a smile: "Okay! Okay! I am an upright person, not like someone who only puts pressure on the referee."
Although Li Wei was upset with Simeone, he also knew that if the trouble continued, the referee might punish him to the stands.
This is also Simeone's usual tactic. First anger the opponent, then lower his posture to give the referee a good impression. In the end, the referee will give Simeone a light sentence and severely punish Simeone's opponent.
Isn't that how Beckham was ended by Simeone back then?
It's not bad that Li Wei is a tyrant, but he is not a fool. He decided to hold back the anger for the time being and find another chance to take revenge!
Simeone saw that although Li Wei's eyes were flashing with anger, he did not continue to entangle with the fourth official, but stepped back and returned to his original position.
Simeone didn't change much on the surface, but he sighed secretly in his heart, what a pity!Unexpectedly, he failed to provoke Li Wei successfully. How good would it really be to force the referee to send Li Wei to the stands?
You must know that Li Wei's appearance in the stands is not just a matter of one game. According to the usual practice, Li Wei will be suspended for one game.If UEFA believes that Li Wei has a bad attitude, he may be suspended additionally.
For Simeone, as long as Levi gets a red card, it is enough. As for the additional suspension, Simeone doesn't care.As long as Li Wei has a red card, because Liverpool lost the head coach in the middle of the first round, and there was no head coach in the second round!Without Li Wei, the soul of Liverpool, Simeone guarantees that Atletico Madrid will have at least a [-]% chance of eliminating Liverpool and advancing to the Champions League final!
