Chapter 741 Completed
Fierce, and very fierce, Villarreal wants to participate in the Champions League. The Champions League not only represents fame, but also represents, and this is not only helpful to the team, but also to the players.
Villarreal is also fierce. Not to mention the big rotation of Atletico Madrid in this game, Villarreal's performance in the first half of the season alone is enough for other La Liga players to look up to, because Villarreal was the only team that lost to Atletico Madrid in the first half of the season.
There were a total of 19 rounds in the first half of the season, and Atletico Madrid won 18 rounds. Whether it was facing Barcelona or Real Madrid, they were all the bones of Atletico Madrid's wild victory. The only one who survived was Villarreal.
Therefore, for Villarreal, Atletico Madrid also took a deep breath. If it hadn't been a tie last season, Atletico Madrid would have won the half-time with a complete victory. That is a feat that has not been accomplished by that club so far.
Villarreal is fierce, but Atletico Madrid is even more fierce. Villarreal wants to score points on Atletico Madrid and wants to break into the top four. Atletico Madrid also wants to score points on Villarreal.
The league has come to the second round of No.30. If this game is won again, Atletico Madrid will have a greater chance of winning the final championship. Besides, there is only one Villarreal that Atletico Madrid has not beaten this season.
As soon as the game started, Villarreal scored in the Atletico Madrid half, rushed into the hinterland, and completed the first kick of the opening game.
A long-range shot from the midfielder Bruno, Perbet hit the header back, Bruno rushed to the outside of Atletico Madrid's penalty area under the cover of his teammates, and tested Courtois' nerves with a long-range shot.
Immediately Atlético returned the favor, Diego sent a direct pass to Lin Dong, Lin Dong picked a pass to Raul Garcia, the latter squeezed away the defenders and rushed into the penalty area, but Raul Garcia's speed was a little slower, or the Villarreal goalkeeper reacted very quickly.
It is said that the goalkeeper standing in front of Villarreal at this moment is still on loan from Atletico Madrid. He was once seen by everyone and is known as Sergio Asenjo, who may finally take over Casillas as the best goalkeeper in La Liga.
He debuted in Valladolid and moved to Atletico Madrid in 09. This transfer changed Asenjo's entire career. Although Asenjo performed very well at the beginning, with the arrival of injuries and the rise of De Gea, Asenjo gradually lost his main position.
Of course, the most important of these is Asenjo's injury. If it is not for the hindrance of the injury, maybe there is nothing wrong with De Gea, or even Courtois. Atletico Madrid does not have to worry about the goalkeeper next season.
This is a typical goalkeeper ruined by injuries, uh, so similar to the German Adler. Of course, Asenjo is not without opportunities. After all, he is not very old. He was only 89 years old in 25.
This time Asenjo's performance is very good. In fact, this is also Assenjo showing his ability to his own club, because Asenjo knows very well that Courtois will not stay at Atletico Madrid, and that is Asenjo's opportunity.
In the first 10 minutes, Asenjo actually performed very well. He saved three shots from Atletico Madrid. Raul Garcia still completed the shot, with a long shot from outside the penalty area.
Sousa held the ball from the side and made an oblique pass back. Raul Garcia carried the defensive player's long shot and was blocked by Asenjo. After 3 minutes, Lin Dong used a header to test this teammate who had no intersection.
As for Villarreal, there were also two kicks in the first 10 minutes. The second attack came from the striker. Forward Perbet received a header from a cross and was directly confiscated by Courtois.
The turning point of the game was No. 15 minutes. Lin Dong's strong shot from the penalty area was saved by Asenjo. This was a world-class save.
Lin Dong is famous for chasing angles when shooting, and when Lin Dong shoots, the position is almost empty, and he is one step away from the nearest defender.
But it was a strong shot under such an opportunity, which was still unbelievably saved by Asenjo. From this save, it can also be seen that Asenjo is outstanding.
However, no matter how good Asenjo is, he can't stop Atletico Madrid's determination to score goals, and it's just after Asenjo's world-class save.
For a corner kick, Sosa drove the ball into the Villarreal penalty area. Under the cover of Alderweireld and Godin, Raul Garcia jumped back and headed the ball near the penalty spot. Although Asenjo made a save, this time he could only look at the ball and sigh, watching the ball pass through his fingertips and fly into the goal behind him.
"Raul Garcia, the Atlético striker has been outstanding this season, and he has performed extremely well whether he plays in midfield or as a striker."
Raul Garcia is indeed outstanding. This is not only recognized by Martinez, but also by Atletico Madrid fans. Of course, their approval is not very important. What is really important is that both Simeone and Lin Dong agree.
To be honest, Lin Dong has had enough of Costa. If it wasn't for the stability of the team, if Lin Dong wasn't for the goal in his heart, how could he endure Costa for so long.
In fact, Simeone also discovered this, so Simeone is very happy with Raul Garcia's performance, because he knows that Raul Garcia is more suitable to be Lin Dong's partner than Costa, which has actually been proved.
Lin Dong was born to be the protagonist, and an outstanding protagonist needs the support of a supporting role. Of course, the supporting role and the protagonist complement each other. This is the biggest difference between Raul Garcia and Costa, because Costa is not willing to be a supporting role.
On the court, Lin Dong was the first player to rush towards Raul Garcia. This has never happened when Costa scored a goal. Before, even if Costa scored next to Lin Dong, Lin Dong was not the first to go up to celebrate with Costa.
Of course, this is also the same in reverse. When Lin Dong scores a goal, Costa will never be the first to run to Lin Dong, let alone other interactions.
With Raul Garcia's goal, the rhythm of the game officially entered the Atletico Madrid mode. Although Villarreal did not give up, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
This was also proved in the subsequent games, and the best way to prove it was that Atletico Madrid scored again, a typical counterattack, and the goal was replaced by Lin Dong.
After Raul Garcia's header kicked back, Lin Dong used his speed to the extreme, threw off the defender, caught up with the ball, and rushed into the penalty area. Facing the attacking Asenjo, Lin Dong shot again, but this time Asenjo failed to create a miracle. Atletico Madrid rewritten the score to 2:0.
