Chapter 393: Falcao

Name:Football Giants Author:Chen Aiting
Diego? Simeone clenched his fists and looked at the green field ahead.

At the exit of the player passage, the players of both teams are lined up, sandwiching the referee group.

Atletico Madrid's main lineup is not surprising.

The goalkeeper is Asenjo, the defenders are Felipe, Miranda, Godin and Juan Fran, and the midfielders are Gabi and Suarez. In order to cope with the powerful midfielder in Southampton, Simonilentia Ge did not join.

The frontcourt attack combination is Turan, Diego, Adrian, and the single forward is Falcao.

This is also the strongest combination of Atletico Madrid this season.

With this lineup, Atletico Madrid has reached the final of the Europa League!

Compared with Atletico Madrid’s starting lineup, Southampton’s lineup has undergone great adjustments and changes in the FA Cup final.

The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is David Alaba, Xavi Martinez, Varane and Carvajal, and the midfielder is a combination of Stromman, Tony Kroos and Vidal. The trident is Neymar, Ibrahimovic and James Rodriguez.

Among them, the most surprising is Tony Cross's starting.

When the on-site commentator of the National Stadium read Tony Cross's name on the stadium broadcast, the entire National Stadium was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked.

Didn’t it mean that Tony Cross ended the season early with an injury?

Why are you playing again now?

Could it be that all the previous rumors were smoke bombs deliberately released by Southampton?

But no matter what, the game is about to begin, and all thoughts are superfluous.

Simeone retracted his gaze from the court, lowered his head, and walked back to the coach's bench.

Along the way, with his head down, he muttered to himself, as if praying, that his team would have better luck tonight.

"Audience friends, this is the scene of the Europa League final from the 2011 to 2012 season!"

"It is located in the National Stadium in Bucharest, Romania. This is Charlene Laheri!"

"I'm Gary Lineker!"

"The game is about to start, Gary, what do you think of this game?"

Gary Lineker's voice quickly remembered.

"This will be a contest between a spear and a shield, but the coach Simeone is often very good at surprises. However, the coach of Bielsa is also very bold, as if before the game, no one expected it, Tony ? Cross will start!"

Charlene Laheri quickly took over, "This is indeed quite unexpected!"

In fact, she knew it was a smoke bomb in Southampton a long time ago, and she even knew more inside stories.

But before the game, she couldn't say anything.

"Atletico Madrid is a very tenacious team with a tough style, just like when their head coach Simeone played. Therefore, Bielsa uses Tony Cross. I guess one thing is to control. "

"But it will also cause some problems, because Atletico Madrid is a La Liga team, and the technology is not too bad. Although Southampton's control is good, it may not be able to control it."

"One more thing, Tony Cross's defense has always been a problem. When he encounters the tenacious Atletico Madrid, whether he can hold the scene is also a suspense."

Charlene Laherit smiled, "I believe that Bielsa must have thought about our doubts, but he still chose Tony Cross, this must be his reason."

"Yes, so it depends on whether the effect can be achieved!"

Charlene Laheri changed the subject immediately as the camera turned.

"We see that now that both sides have guessed the sides, Southampton takes the lead in getting the serve."

From the live TV footage, we can see that Southampton, wearing the visiting team's jersey, is ready to go.

The most important battle of this season is already on the verge of an arrow.

When the camera fell on the referee on duty, Charlene Laheri immediately gave an explanation.

"This is the international referee from Germany, Wolfgang Stark."

"Yes, Neuer and Tony Cross were chatting with him just now, they obviously knew each other!" Lineker laughed.

"If Simeone is replaced by Mourinho, I'm afraid there will be another dispute after the game!"

Charlene? Laheri smiled, "Who said no?"

Just as they were talking, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.

When Ibrahimovic kicked the ball to Neymar, the Atletico Madrid players immediately rushed forward like a wolf.

Good guy, that momentum immediately made Neymar turn around and kick the ball back.

When the ball fell at the feet of Harvey Martinez, Atletico Madrid's Falcao and Adrian had already rushed to the midfielder area and rushed directly to Harvey Martinez.

No way, Harvey Martinez immediately passed the ball to the right to Varane.

The French central defender stopped the ball, and Atletico Madrid immediately turned the gun and rushed towards the Frenchman.

Varane divided the ball to the right again and gave it to Carvajal.

The Spanish right back took forward and passed to James Rodriguez.

The Colombian tried to give the ball to Ibrahimović, but Godin had already guarded it. He took a header and cleared the ball.

But the ball didn't fall far, Vidal rushed up, another header, and pushed the ball back.

But Miranda quickly headed out again.

This time, the ball fell far.

Varane quickly rushed up, stopped the ball, and passed it to Tony Cross.

But when Tony Cross tried to pass to Stroman again, the ball was cut off.

"The rhythm of the game between the two sides is very fast, from the beginning directly to the topic!"

"It can be seen that Atletico Madrid is unwilling to be outdone. After the opening game, it is heavily pressured!"

"Let's take a look at this time Atletico Madrid's attack, pass to the left, to Turan, pass in, and fall into the penalty area!"

"Neuer rushed out of the small penalty area, before Falcao, took the ball out of the air!"

"It's so beautiful, Neuer!"

Lineker also laughed, "I can see that Neuer is in very good shape!"

"Yes, I was very active and brave from the beginning!"

Lineker hummed.

Southampton opened the goal kick, but this period of time, Atletico Madrid grabbed very fiercely, the ball soon fell to Atletico Madrid's feet.

"Look, that's it!" Lineker had a headache.

"The Atletico Madrid team doesn't play skills with you or other tricks with you. He will rob you and fight desperately. This is a very troublesome tactic, as is Klopp in Dortmund. "

"However, unlike Klopp, Simeone has played in Serie A for many years in the professional league and has a deep understanding of the Italian defensive system, so his football is more strict and his defense is more layered."

"Bielsa also advocates this kind of high-position defense and pressing. This game will be very fierce!"

The game also seemed to prove Lineker's judgment.

The two sides played very fiercely from the beginning. Atletico Madrid and Southampton both refused to give up and launched a frenzied press. The ball changed very quickly and the rhythm was very fast.

The entire middle circle area has almost become a arena for both sides, and the kills are horrible.

But when everyone thought the scene would be stuck in a stalemate, suddenly, an Atletico Madrid player succeeded in stealing the ball near the center circle and the ball fell to Diego's feet.

At this moment, Diego is unguarded and facing the offensive direction.

I saw that the Brazilian midfielder didn't hesitate at all. When I saw Falcao running, it was a long-range through ball.

Diego's kick was very comfortable, almost just right.

Falcao received the ball before rushing into the Southampton penalty area, and took a trip forward to enter the penalty area.

Harvey Martinez is sticking to Falcao step by step, not daring to relax.

Once in the penalty area, Harvey Martinez was blocked between Falcao and the goal. Varane also returned to the penalty area, but he did not step up to block it. Instead, he helped defend Harvey Martine. Behind Si.

I could see Falcao dribbling the ball skillfully, suddenly slam the ball behind him, and his body quickly adjusted.

The ball rolled to the left, Harvey Martinez immediately realized the danger and shouted, "Oops!"

Falcao has successfully pulled out of the neutral position, with his left foot facing the ball, almost without adjustment, just a rubbing shot with his left foot, the ball is fast and fierce, and it traverses an unobvious arc. Go straight to the left of the goal.

The entire National Stadium was stunned!

No one thought that the first shot of the game turned out to be Atletico Madrid!

The fans of    Sheets Corps were even more excited and cheered, as if they had already seen the goal in their eyes!

But when this violently spinning ball tried to hit the goal line, he suddenly stretched out his hands and slapped it abruptly, blocking it between the ball and the goal.

The ball touched his hand, turned a direction, and out of the baseline!

There was a voice of aftermath in the National Stadium, and many people were relieved.

The angle at which the ball hits the goal is too tricky, and the shot is too clever!

Neuer got up from the ground, still looking at the ball out of the baseline with lingering fear.

Fortunately, he had been prepared, otherwise, the ball would have been secured.

Who would have thought that Falcao would be able to shoot such a tricky shot with such a precise angle in this situation!

too frightening!

is really terrible!

Falcao looked at Neuer with a wry smile.

He originally thought he had it, but he didn't realize it. This goalkeeper actually reacted to it. It's not easy!

"Excuse me!" Harvey Martinez turned his head and looked at Neuer apologetically.

"Be careful, he can complete this high-quality shot with both feet!" Neuer raised his hand with an expression that didn't matter, but he didn't forget to remind him.

This kind of feet will be the most troublesome!

Tony Cross just ran to the front of the big penalty area, and his heart was very mixed.

Just now he didn't block Diego for the first time, which gave the Brazilian a chance to pass the ball calmly.

If this goal really scores, then he is the team's number one sinner!

I thought of thisTony? Cross felt very uncomfortable.

If it were changed to Matic, this ball would certainly not pass so easily!

Tony Cross feels a pressure when he thinks of Matic.

Pressure from competitors!

So, he quickly regained his morale and started preparing to deal with Atletico Madrid's corner kick.

Bielsa on the sidelines shouted.

signaled Tony Cross to pay attention, don't miss Diego, and at the same time let Stromman and Vidaldo pay more attention to protecting Tony Cross.

The German has a heavy task in this game. Whether it can take Atletico Madrid is up to him!

After being shouted by the head coach, Tony Cross calmed down.

At this time, don't worry, please calm down!

Only if you calm down can you kill your opponents, and you're done in a hurry!

As the core of the team's midfield, if he is anxious, the team will be in a mess!

I have to say that Tony Cross's psychological quality is really excellent.

soon walked out of the shadow of the mistake, looked at Diego, his eyes seemed to say, come on!

At this time, the corner kick is coming! (To be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team@硕宝i] If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Chuangshi to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
