On January 14, Simeone announced the squad for the next day's game.
The shocking debut hat trick in the last game, as well as the hard work and excellent daily training, allowed Simeone to directly put Qiao Anchen into the starting 11 for the next day's game, along with Falcao and Al
Da Turan plays in the front three.
However, this time, Qiao Anchen did not play as a left winger, but returned to his familiar right winger position.
Arda Turan is an all-around offensive talent who can play in the midfield, left, center or right. Therefore, this time Simeone asked him to play the left winger and asked Qiao Anchen to play the familiar right wing position to see if Qiao Anchen could play again.
Not a surprise to him.
Being selected into the starting lineup for the first time, Qiao Anchen received an additional reward of 200,000 experience, and the total experience increased to level 29, 1.61 million/3 million.
On January 15, despite the bad weather and light rain, the Calderon Stadium was almost completely full.
Before the game started, when the two teams started to warm up, Qiao Anchen was warmly cheered by more than 50,000 home fans at the Calderon Stadium.
With his amazing performance of scoring a hat trick on his debut in the last game, and the fact that he came from his own youth training camp, the fans didn't have to adapt at all, and they immediately accepted Qiao Anchen and regarded him as Calderon's new prince.
Even superstars like Falcao are not as popular as Qiao Anchen.
After all, Qiao Anchen is his own child, and Falcao is a mercenary. And Qiao Anchen's performance for ten minutes in the last game was much better than Falcao's performance in one game.
That's the difference.
Joan Chen is also very excited, because this is his first time playing at the Calderon Stadium as a first-team player, and this is his first home game for the Shelters.
Not only did he see tens of thousands of home fans waving various banners, slogans, and portraits to cheer him on, there were also many overseas Chinese fans waving national flags in the stands to cheer him on.
Of course, there is another special person in the stands, and that is agent Jorge Mendez.
He also came to the scene to watch Qiao Anchen's performance in this game. Through this game, we can observe whether Qiao Anchen's hat trick in the previous game was a flash in the pan or whether he really has the strength.
At 14:00 noon on January 15, 2012, with the referee's whistle, the 19th round of the 2011/2012 La Liga season at Atletico Madrid vs. Villarreal at Atletico Madrid's home stadium Calderon Stadium 50,000
It officially started with the cheers of many fans.
The weather was not good, not only was it lightly raining, but it was also winter and the temperature was very low, only 4 or 5 degrees Celsius. Even though they had gone through the pre-match warm-up, the players on both sides still felt very cold and their bodies were very stiff.
At the beginning of the game, both sides did not attack rashly, but conducted trials and used the game to warm up their bodies.
Therefore, the first 20 minutes of the game were relatively calm. Both sides did not fight hard, there were no fouls serious enough to warrant a card, and there were no attacks that threatened too much.
Qiao Anchen completed a shot in the 12th minute, but his long-range shot outside the penalty area was too positive under the pressure of the opponent's players and was directly confiscated by the goalkeeper, failing to pose much threat.
Villarreal, on the other hand, didn't even have a shot within the goal frame.
The first 20 minutes of the game were a little lethargic.
But after 20 minutes of game warm-up, Atletico Madrid, playing at home, took the lead in entering the state and began to attack.
In the 23rd minute, Atletico Madrid's No. 5 right-wing back Thiago suddenly came in at high speed, and after a collision with Qiao Anchen, he made a pass. No. 9 Falcao took the lead in his movement in the penalty area and got stuck on the opponent's side.
In front of the central defender, he successfully grabbed the first point, swung his head towards the goal, and put the ball inside the goal frame.
This ball was quite threatening, but unfortunately the opponent's goalkeeper Diego Lopez reacted quickly, jumped up and reached up, successfully deflecting the ball over the crossbar and resolving Falcao's header.
Atletico Madrid's subsequent corner kick attack failed to create a threat, and the opponent's center back grabbed the first point and pushed out of the dangerous area to clear the ball.
Atletico Madrid's attack started the confrontation between the two sides.
Villarreal, which had already warmed up enough, also stepped up its attacking pace, trying to capture the Calderon Stadium.
The two sides began to compete fiercely in the midfield. Mistakes increased, the offensive and defensive rhythm accelerated, the ball kept changing hands, and shooting opportunities began to increase.
This situation is obviously beneficial to Qiao Anchen, who has full shooting skills.
In the 27th minute, Qiao Anchen received Falcao's cross from the right wing of the penalty area and completed his second shot of the game. However, he was pushed from the side by the opponent's defender at the moment of shooting. He was originally aiming for the blind spot.
The shot went awry and missed the goal, causing Atletico Madrid and Chinese fans to sigh at the scene and in front of the TV.
Qiao Anchen was also a little disappointed, but he did not lose confidence. Because he knew that with his shooting skills, he could score a goal with an average of three or four shots.
I have missed the first two times. If I try one or two more times, it should not be difficult to score.
This is something that has been proven through long-term competition.
Although the opponent is already at the La Liga level, both personal defense ability and team defense ability are much better than the youth team, but Qiao Anchen is also constantly improving, and his strength in all aspects is also constantly improving. Even if he does not use lucky cards or skill cards, as long as he
Give him enough time and enough shots, and he can still score.
This is also true.
Although Villarreal knew the threat of Joan Chen and did not despise him because of his young age, no defense could be watertight, especially when facing counterattacks.
In the 28th minute, Villarreal's attack reached the frontcourt and was intercepted by Atletico Madrid. The Shenlian Legion quickly counterattacked, and soon a three-on-four situation was formed in the frontcourt.
It happened to be Atletico Madrid's three forwards vs. Villarreal's four defenders, but Atletico Madrid, with the ball in hand, took the initiative.
Through constant passing and movement, Qiao Anchen, who had completed the switch with Falcao, received a cross pass from Arda Turan in the gap area on the left side of the top of the arc in the central penalty area.
Although Qiao Anchen's reaction, speed, off-ball movement, etc. are not top-notch in La Liga, he can still get a good open opportunity occasionally.
As long as he gets such an opportunity and his teammates pass the ball over at the right time, Qiao Anchen's full shooting skills will have room to show off.
That's it this time.
It was Atletico Madrid's counterattack in itself, coupled with the sudden change of positions of Joan Chen and Falcao during the run, which caused a loophole in Villarreal's defense, which gave Joan Chen a chance to run out and pick up Alda.
Turan passed the ball and had a chance to shoot directly.
Qiao Anchen glanced at the goalkeeper while running, and did not make any adjustments to stop the ball. Before the opponent's defender rushed over to block the shooting route, he directly kicked the ball without stopping about 18 meters away from the goal outside the penalty area.
He shot and used his perfect shooting skills to hit the ball towards the lower right corner of the goal.
