When the match between Atletico Madrid and Wolfsburg finally arrived on April 24, the Wolfsburg players who came to Madrid again a year later finally met their long-awaited opponents here. The semi-final of the Champions League has finally arrived with intensive preparations.
Standing on the court, Gao shunyao is also full of excitement. This is the first time he has played in such an important game as the semi-final of the Champions League, and his heart is also very happy. His team spent a season of effort, in the Champions League, finally came to the top of the plug, listen to the cheers of the fans around, look at the strength of their opponents, Gao shunyao for this game is also full of pride.
Maybe for some top players, the last four of the Champions League is just a routine game in his career, but for Gao shunyao, it is one of the most important games he has played in his life. In this game, he has to play well anyway. He can't get anything wrong. This is also the biggest idea in Gao shunyao's heart.
However, as the Champions League semi-final, the difficulty of this game is quite big. It's not easy to adapt to the rhythm of the game even if we don't mention the opponent's strength. After the start of the competition, Gao shunyao's excitement has not passed, and he has already met the challenge of Atletico Madrid.
Atletico's first strike can be described as very sudden: in the beginning of the competition with Atletico, the rhythm of both sides was not too fast. The semi-final of the Champions League is a new and very important match for both teams. Therefore, the two sides of the match did not enter the state immediately after the opening. The players of both sides were still testing each other at the beginning of the game, and the attack of both sides was not particularly sharp. Atletico and Wolfsburg, it seems, want to see the strength of each other, are afraid to show their flaws first.
Therefore, the attack of both sides was not particularly careful at the beginning. When benalino got the football once, he also kicked it off with a big foot and kicked it through the half. However, no one thought, this kick-off, but let Atletico find a chance.
When the football came, Gao shunyao was still near the midfield. At the beginning of the game, both sides were still testing, and Wolfsburg didn't launch a fierce attack immediately. However, even so, Atletico's defense must be merciless. When the football comes, their players are ready to meet.
When Gao shunyao was ready to take off, Godin also leaned over quietly behind him. Two people in the midfield above, in order to fight for a header ran together, and Gao shunyao at this time, is the Godin card behind, two people jump at the same time, Gao shunyao also block Godin behind.
It seems that Gao shunyao has completely blocked Godin from the top. However, Godin's goal is obviously not to fight for the top. Gordin, who jumps in the air and is stuck behind by Gao shunyao, has no idea of competing for the top. What he does behind Gao shunyao is another thing: others suddenly stretch out their elbows in the air and hit Gao shunyao's ribs hard!
Gao shunyao, who was in the air, thought he had already won the top. He never thought that he would be hit with an elbow at this time. Caught off guard, his rib suffered a heavy blow, and he had no way to keep his balance in the air. Under the pain, Gao shunyao fell forward directly to the ground, the football flew over his head, and sitting on the ground, he also raised his head and glared at Godin.
This time the foul, it is a bit too arrogant, it can even be said that it is a very serious behavior. It seems that Godin is more interested in fouls than in fighting for the top. Even Gao shunyao has long heard that Atletico can't stand such a rude way of playing football. It's really cruel to elbow at the back in the game.
This kind of action is too intolerable, these guys, it is to fight.
The only thing that pleased him was that the referee saw the foul. When he fell to the ground, the referee also came. However, when Gao shunyao raised his head, what he saw was that the referee was reprimanding Godin, and he didn't seem to have any idea of taking out the cards. Godin was also smiling and nodding to the referee.
It seems that the referee only gave him a warning. And his nod seems sincere, but in Gao shunyao's eyes, there is no sincerity at all: it's not careless in the game, too big action, elbow hitting, which is a malicious foul. Obviously, his actions were not accidental, but intentional.
At the beginning of the competition, Atletico Madrid is also trying to do it. However, unlike Wolfsburg's trial, which is familiar with the rhythm of attack and defense, Atletico Madrid did at this time, which is a trial of the referee's penalty scale.
This foul, in fact, Atletico has no real strategic and tactical considerations: the game has just begun, Wolfsburg's attack has not shown power. The place where Gao shunyao catches the ball is near the midfield. There is no threat to the goal at all. Golding's foul, it seems to have no impact on the overall situation, and it was not intended against Wolfsburg.
The foul was directed at the referee from the beginning.
Atletico Madrid's style of playing football can be said to be quite rough, and it is precisely because of the rough style that they will get more fouls than their opponents in the game. Although the players of Atletico Madrid are very clever and will not make the red card intentionally, it is still difficult for them to avoid the yellow card when they play football. Whether the referee's penalty is loose or tight also has a great impact on their strength.Therefore, Atletico also has such a habit in the competition: at the beginning of the game, there is a foul that is neither light nor heavy. It seems that the action is very big, but it does not affect the process of the game, it does not matter the overall situation. Such fouls appear at the beginning of the game, so it's not easy for the referee to blow. Once the referee doesn't blow this time, it's hard to be more severe in the whole game. Atletico's next game will be like a duck to water.
Of course, they sometimes have bad luck and meet some very strict judges. However, no matter how severe the referee is, it is difficult to send off the players in an unimportant position at the beginning of the game. Atletico Madrid can also guarantee that it will make a steady profit. And if the referee's decision is not very severe Then Atletico will naturally make further fouls.
This is what Atletico does at this moment. Looking at the referee running over, although he blew the whistle but didn't take out the card, Godin basically knew the referee's psychological scale, and after knowing this scale, he also went to Gao shunyao with a smile. With a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand, as if trying to pull Gao shunyao up. But when Gao shunyao repressed his anger and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, his hand moved quickly. Instead of pulling Gao shunyao's hand, he patted Gao shunyao's face gently.
He patted this one, can be said to be very light, hit in the face does not hurt, even can say no feeling. If the players are very familiar with each other, such a move is not a big deal at all, it can only be said to be a joke. However, Godin was full of ridicule for Gao shunyao: he and Gao shunyao were not familiar with each other, and of course, they could not joke with each other. He ignored Gao shunyao's outstretched hand, but directly slapped him on the face, which was undoubtedly provocative.
He was not joking at all. He just wanted to tell Gao shunyao: I fouled you, not only just just now, but also now. However, even if I foul, you can't do anything about it. I fouled you. What can you do to me?
Such action, the referee certainly will not pursue the penalty. Godin was smiling all the time. He didn't look like he was going to fight at all, but he was joking. And although he played some frivolous on Gao shunyao's face, it wasn't heavy itself, it wasn't a malicious foul. Such a move, the referee will not punish, and Gao shunyao this tone, can only swallow.
The style of Atletico has always been like this. They always like to use some small seemingly meaningless small action fouls to stir up the opponent's anger. This kind of kid like prank seems to be boring in football matches, but Atletico used it very well.
Godin's action made Gao shunyao a little stunned. He thought that his opponent was coming to show his kindness, but he didn't expect that he didn't want to show his kindness. What he wanted to do was to demonstrate. Looking at the other side's proud smile and the referee who didn't act, Gao shunyao was also angry.
He didn't expect that Atletico's fouls came so fast, and from the beginning, it was so infuriating. At the bottom of his heart, he even remembered what Turan said in his joke a few days ago when he should fall. This kind of action, although very light, is really not a physical contact. In 2004, Porto played lako, and Andrade was directly sent off by a red card for a playful kick to deco. This is not an unprecedented case.
However, although he thought so, Gao shunyao still didn't do it. On the one hand, he knew that the referee would not be so partial to Wolfsburg. On the other hand, it was a shame to win in that way.
The opponent is disgusting, and you can't follow him. At this moment, he can only warn himself, no matter what, he can't be anxious.
The purpose of Atletico is to stir up their own anger. If they are really worried with him, they will not be able to concentrate in the game, so they will not be able to play well. When watching the highlights of Atletico, I have seen similar behavior of Atletico. After the foul, they are cheap to add a little action while the referee doesn't judge. This is one of the most important means they use to stir up the anger of their opponents. If they know this, they can't be fooled.
These little moves are just unimportant details. The most important thing in this game is still the game itself. Gao shunyao warned himself in his heart and forced himself to turn his attention to the game: he believed that Atletico Madrid's current position in La Liga did not depend on their rudeness. Compared with their rudeness, their skills are more noteworthy.
