Chapter 940 Situation Reversal
When Cork left the field, the few Atletico Madrid fans stood up and gave applause. Although Lin Dong scored the goal, if Cork hadn't fought the injury to pass the ball, the goal would have been impossible.
Then the referee added a yellow card to Rathbender. The Leverkusen captain's flying shovel was indeed threatening, as evidenced by Koke's injury, so there is no controversy about this yellow card.
Schmidt is caught in a dilemma, continue to attack, or withdraw and let Atletico Madrid attack?
Continue to attack?Atletico Madrid is a team known for its defense. The strength of its defense is at the forefront in the whole of Europe. This point has been fully proved in the past. Leverkusen's opening attack has no way to create a real threat to Atletico Madrid. Moreover, Atletico Madrid also has a guy like Lin Dong who is so good at grasping opportunities.
As for letting Atletico Madrid attack?If it is said that Atletico Madrid without Lin Dong is defensively strong and offensively weak, then with Lin Dong, Atletico Madrid will have a balanced offense and defense. Atletico Madrid's perverted number of goals is half of the credit for Lin Dong.
In fact, after thinking so much, in the final analysis, the problem lies with Lin Dong. Whether it is offense or defense, as long as Lin Dong can be restrained, the threat of Atletico Madrid can be reduced by half.
That's the problem?Who can really limit Lin Dong, Barcelona can't do it, Real Madrid can't do it, AC Milan can't do it, Chelsea can't do it either.
After all, there is no team in today's football that can limit Lin Dong, because no matter what kind of defensive player or defensive lineup he faces, Lin Dong can always score goals.
"Damn it, why did such a monster appear?" Schmidt, who hadn't thought of a solution, couldn't help cursing secretly.
At the same time, Schmidt is very envious of Simeone. If he also has Lin Dong under his banner, then he is also confident that he can lead Leverkusen to sweep the Bundesliga and dominate the Champions League.
But it is a pity that there is only one Lin Dong in the whole world, and even in the history of football, there is only one Lin Dong. Indeed, there were many outstanding players in ancient times, but there is no one as perfect as Lin Dong.
On the court, the game has restarted, and there is no other way, Schmidt can only choose a steady and conservative tactic, based on defense, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
For the change of Leverkusen's tactics, the players on the Atletico Madrid field felt it immediately. At the same time, Simeone on the sidelines also noticed it immediately. Then, under the watchful eyes of the Atletico Madrid players, Simeone waved his hand.
Although it was Leverkusen's temptation, Simeone must be right, because Lin Dong is a big killer in his team, and Mandzukic is also a first-class center forward, and he is very familiar with the Bundesliga team.
This time the situation of the two sides was completely reversed. Atletico Madrid began to press Leverkusen to play. No. 15 minutes, Mandzukic completed another attack.
This time it was a header, a pass from Usar. After receiving the pass, Usar took a few steps to attract the Leverkusen players and then made a light flick. The ball came outside the penalty area. Lin Dong jumped up from the line of the penalty area.
Two minutes later, Atletico Madrid made a comeback and was fouled by Leverkusen. Papadopoulos, a central defender, was notoriously dirty. In this competition, Papadopoulos kicked Mandzukic cryptically.
The result almost caused a riot on the sidelines. Seeing that the referee did not draw his card, Simeone decisively fired at the fourth official. Not to be outdone, Schmidt also rushed to the fourth official, and then the coaches of the two teams confronted each other.
Soon not only the head coach, but also the assistant coaches on both sides joined in. Fortunately, the referee came over at this time and warned Simeone and Schmidt before finally separating the two sides.
But this is the Bayer Arena after all. As an away game, Simeone's behavior will undoubtedly detonate the fans in the stands. In the next few minutes, the Leverkusen fans in the stands gave Simeone all the boos.
On the court, the game had already restarted, and Atletico Madrid got a free kick in a good position, but Atletico Madrid's free kick was really speechless, and the ball flew directly out of the baseline.
No.19 minutes, Lin Dong ushered in the first shot after the goal, a long shot from outside the penalty area, Juanfran's cross from the side, Lin Dong received a pass from outside the penalty area, turned around and shot directly, the ball was saved by the Leverkusen goalkeeper, and Atletico Madrid won a corner kick.
Godin and Gabi sent the ball into the penalty area, and Atletico Madrid's central defender overwhelmed the opponent. It is said that Leverkusen's back line is of average height, so Atletico Madrid has an advantage in terms of headers.
But the advantage does not mean a goal. Although Godin reached the corner kick and completed the goal, the ball did not fly into the goal. Under the interference of Leverkusen players, Godin's header failed to hold down.
Atletico Madrid scored Sheng, Leverkusen is not without the opportunity to counterattack, but in terms of opportunity grasp, Leverkusen really can't compare with Atletico Madrid.
Just 1 minute before Lin Dong shot, Leverkusen hit a wave of counterattacks, but under the defense of Atletico Madrid, Leverkusen's final shot missed directly.
No.201 minutes, Leverkusen counterattacked again, this time it was a quick counterattack, but under the effective defense of Atletico Madrid, Leverkusen's quick counterattack was forced into a positional battle, but Leverkusen still completed the shot, but the next shot did not pose any threat.
Leverkusen's counterattack did not achieve the desired effect, and Atletico Madrid's offense was rewarded. In the No. 206 minute of the game, Turan was brought down again after inserting a wing.
Still a set kick, this time an indirect free kick, on the left side of the pitch, again Gabi, the captain of Atletico Madrid sent the ball into the Leverkusen penalty area.
Mandzukic, the center of Atletico Madrid came out more and more, and headed a fairly standard header. The ball went straight to the lower left corner of the goal, which is a relatively dead corner.
But on the football field, even a dead corner does not mean that a goal will definitely be scored. Leno, another outstanding young goalkeeper in Germany, is the youngest goalkeeper in the history of the German Champions League debut, creating the second most expensive goalkeeper in the Bundesliga.
And because of Leno's outstanding performance, Adler, who was once one of the German goalkeeper twin stars, lost his position. Although there were injuries, Leno's excellence is beyond doubt.
At the moment when Mandzukic's header dived, Leno also reacted. The Leverkusen goalkeeper's reaction is notoriously fast, and in addition to the reaction, Leno's goal line skills are also very good, and he also has a precise long pass. He even has a very high talent in saving penalties.
"Blocked~~~God~~~Leverkusen's goalkeeper relied on excellent predictions and amazing reactions to finally block Mandzukic's header, this absolute dead end."
