Chapter 1178 Never admit defeat!
Simeone watched the game on the field and finally couldn't sit still anymore. He began to run to the sidelines and used various exaggerated movements to express his uncontrollable anxiety.
He felt very scared. Once he lost the game here today, he didn't know whether he would still have the dedication to stay at Atletico Madrid to coach. He didn't want to make such a decision prematurely. It would be too painful and tortured.
He is like a cheerleader who can't stop on the sidelines. He doesn't know if his gestures and movements are useful, but he just feels that he has to do it. If he doesn't do anything, he is very afraid of the competition.
It will end immediately and fail immediately.
Suddenly, his steps stopped and he held his head with both hands. His eyes were full of despair and helplessness. The game finally changed again, but it was a change that was not good for Atletico Madrid.
Lin Yu counterattacked on the spot, directly intercepted the ball from the Atletico Madrid player's feet, and then successfully broke through and ran towards the penalty area.
At this time, Lin Yu alone attracted the defensive attention of as many as four people, and also attracted the attention of two other people.
When the ghost-like shadow appeared behind Lin Yu, they didn't even realize what was going to happen.
…
Lin Yu did not choose to continue to break through or shoot. Instead, when he successfully attracted the attention and sight of almost all the defenders, he suddenly knocked the ball behind him and stepped aside.
Royce appeared behind him, as if he suddenly emerged from the ground, and without any obstruction, he swung his kick and shot.
"Look at this ball - Royce!"
In the stands, the few Real Madrid fans had all stood up. Although they hoped that the ball would be completed by Lin Yu, since this pass was Lin Yu's choice, they also firmly supported it to the end!
At this time, Atletico Madrid's players realized something was wrong, and they all took stances and tried to block Royce's shot with their bodies. However, due to the time difference, all they did was in vain.
That is to say, Courtois reacted quickly enough to hold the ball shot by Royce with one palm, trying to push the ball directly out of the baseline, but Royce hit the ball very smoothly. Not only did
Speed and power, even if Courtois touched it, the ball just hit the crossbar and then bounced into the goal.
When Courtois tried to make a second reaction, it was no longer possible. The rebound of the ball after hitting the crossbar made it faster again. Before Courtois could get up, the ball had already hit the goal.
among.
Such goals are actually very common in Real Madrid's cooperation. When Di Maria was still on the team, Lin Yu often cooperated with him in this regard. And the styles of Royce and Di Maria
There are some similarities, both have speed and good foot skills, so they can completely replace Di Maria's role in the past.
As soon as the commentator saw the goal, he immediately shouted.
"After a crazy attack, we finally scored, Royce!"
"Atletico Madrid made a fatal mistake. They thought Lin Yu would choose to shoot, but they didn't expect Lin Yu to pass the ball to Royce. After this back and forth, there was a huge loophole in the defense that should not have been there. What a pity.
, the score has been equalized at this point, the next game will be more difficult."
"It's good now, Royce's goal. The whole Real Madrid team let out a long sigh. A goal means that the team has recovered. Since we can equalize the score, we can also look forward to overtaking the score."
.”
…
Simeone covered his head and fell to his knees on the ground. At this moment, he could no longer hide his disappointment. Others thought that his team could still compete with Real Madrid, but he knew that it was nothing.
It's possible.
The reason why his team played well in the first half today was due to the terrifying combat effectiveness after self-hypnosis and Real Madrid's underestimation of the opponent. But as soon as the goal was scored, both of them disappeared. How are the players going to fight with them?
Real Madrid players fight?
"Royce—!"
With the commentator's roar, all the Real Madrid fans in the audience were excited. Lin Yu rushed forward and pinned Royce under him. He laughed and said, "You guys can do it. This shot is no worse than mine."
!”
Immediately afterwards, the other Real Madrid players rushed over and surrounded Lin Yu and Royce. Everyone was really excited and excited.
Everyone understands the significance of this goal. Although Zidane's words during the halftime break have made the players wake up and plan to play hard, if the score cannot be equalized, there will definitely still be negative consequences.
Emotionally, it is almost certain that you will eventually become anxious and panicked again.
But as soon as the goal was scored, everyone felt relieved and equalized the score, which showed that they had done the right thing during this period and could continue to persevere.
Don’t be discouraged when you lose!
Don’t be arrogant when scoring goals!
Now Real Madrid really has a bit of a hegemonic style, rather than like a nouveau riche.
Seeing Royce being slapped and beaten by his teammates, Lin Yu smiled, then sneaked out of the celebration circle, ran to the bench, and high-fived Zidane on the sidelines.
One look means both people know what it means.
"You see, BOSS, I said, just leave the rest of the game to us, there's no problem at all."
Zidane was very satisfied with Lin Yu's performance, and was equally satisfied with the state and fighting spirit of the entire team during this period.
As he said, overlords are not always victorious. They also fail and fall into adversity. The question is whether they can stand up again once they fall into adversity. This is the key.
Zidane did not mention Napoleon in the lounge because he felt that Napoleon could not be regarded as a hegemon. After experiencing Waterloo, Napoleon was unable to recover. This is not the demeanor that a hegemon should have.
It is nothing new for one's own team to win consecutively in smooth sailing, but this does not mean that Real Madrid is strong enough. Zidane believes that being strong enough means when the team falls behind.
, can also show a stable, even transcendent state. Then equalize the score, overtake the score, and finally win.
Although the current score of today's game is still a draw, it has not yet reached the final victory he expected. But he is already very satisfied. He can remain calm and restrained after losing the ball, and has fighting spirit without letting down his guard. This is
It's a truly terrifying team. He just wants his team to become like this, to become truly invincible!
He simply didn't want to mention the first half of the game. During that period of time, Real Madrid was like the little emperor who had always been going smoothly. Suddenly he encountered a little trouble, and then he panicked. He completely lost his sense of proportion and didn't know what to do.
Done.
During that period of time, Real Madrid was not worthy of being called the hegemon. It was not even considered a strong team. It could only be regarded as a waste among the powerful outsiders.
Now the team's technology and tactics have basically taken shape, but if they want to become a true hegemon, they must continue to cultivate spiritual transcendence.
This team's road to dominance has actually just begun.
…
After Simeone saw Royce scoring, he felt completely desperate. He really felt that he had tried his best. He did everything he could, and even did some things to stimulate the team's fighting spirit.
He lied about the matter.
But even so, after his team took the lead by one goal, they were quickly tied. This has to be said to be a pity, and it makes people feel as uncomfortable as tens of thousands of ants scratching their hearts.
He knelt there for a long time, putting his hands in his pockets, thinking about his future and the team's future, but he did not think about this game anymore, because he felt that it was really hopeless.
However, suddenly, his eyes that had almost lost their luster lit up.
No crash?
He stood up in disbelief. When the game restarted, the situation on the field was beyond his expectation. He thought that the players who had lost their self-hypnosis would quickly fall into despair and panic, and then be defeated by Real Madrid.
The score is a carnage, just like it used to be.
But in fact, his team did not collapse.
After the score was equalized, although the players were no longer as crazy as before, their eyes became clearer and firmer.
This is……
Simeone's heart beat violently, and he suddenly realized that he had underestimated his players all this time. They were not robots, and they were not that strong physically, but mentally they were strong enough.
That’s right! That’s right! My players are all role models for football players! Their ability may not be as strong as Real Madrid’s players, but their spirit is stronger than Real Madrid’s. That’s because they have experienced many experiences.
Many failures and victories, and all kinds of honors and disgrace intertwined together, tempered their strong will.
Why am I desperate? It’s ridiculous! With such a player, I should be satisfied! In fact, the most unqualified person in the entire team is me, not the players on the field!
He stood up from the ground suddenly, regaining his former coolness and domineering attitude. He didn't want to think about anything else. Even if this game was really going to be lost, Real Madrid couldn't easily take away three points. This was
The united will of the whole team is a terrifying fighting spirit, which is more powerful than the fake fighting spirit stimulated by hatred.
Give up?
No! Atletico Madrid will never admit defeat! This is a city derby, a battle between two different people in the same city!
When he almost sank, it was his players who saved him with their fighting spirit and courage. Now, he must defend the dignity of the team with the players until the end of the game.
Unlike Real Madrid, there are not many people on Simeone's bench who are qualified to replace the starting players. This is his disadvantage. Simeone has complained about this before, but at this moment, he decided not to do it for the time being.
Complaining, there is no point in complaining anyway, it is better to think carefully about how to play in the next game.
In the end, he chose to replace Juan Mata with Raul Garcia.
This choice is completely a purely tactical substitution. Mata's defensive ability is weak and only plays a greater role on the offensive end. Raul Garcia is just the opposite. He is called a defensive player on the offensive end.
Atletico Madrid now needs players who can defend and counterattack. Mata is obviously no longer suitable. Not only is he physically exhausted, but his own characteristics also make him unsuitable to stay on the court.
.
However, Simeone was still very satisfied with Mata's performance, so when Mata came off the field, he stepped forward and patted Mata on the shoulder and said: "Well done, let's take a good rest."
Although it is just a simple sentence, doing it and not doing it are completely different. If you say it and do it, the players will feel that you are not dissatisfied with his performance when you replace him, but purely out of tactics.
Considering it shows that you care about him.
If you don't say it and don't do it, the players will definitely think wildly.
In addition to this substitution, Simeone also replaced Correa with Adrian.
Chapter completed!
