After a 15-minute rest, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half.
Atletico Madrid, which was already leading 2-0, shrunk its defense a little, attracting the opponent to attack, and then launched the opponent's counterattack.
However, Zaragoza was not fooled, because they knew that with their strength, it would be difficult to face Atletico Madrid's two-goal deficit.
If we attack aggressively and are counterattacked by Atletico Madrid, we will suffer a huge defeat at home, which will be even more embarrassing.
Therefore, Zaragoza did not attack rashly when the score was two goals behind. Instead, it defended firmly and waited for opportunities to counterattack with a small number of manpower.
This style of play naturally leaves Atletico Madrid with little room for counterattack.
And with a two-goal lead, since none of the opponents tried to resist, there was no need for Atletico Madrid to push too hard.
What's more, Atletico Madrid's next game in four days is the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals against Hannover 96 at home. Atletico Madrid should also save some energy to play Hannover!
With the league already unable to win the championship, the Europa League cannot be lost at all costs and must be fought for.
Of course, if given the opportunity, Atletico Madrid would not mind expanding the score and completely sealing the victory.
So, after two consecutive substitutions, when the time entered the 70th minute and Simeone was about to replace Qiao Anchen, in the 73rd minute, Qiao Anchen seized an opportunity.
This was a positional attack launched by Atletico Madrid, which produced a very exquisite teamwork. Qiao Anchen, Falcao, Arda Turan, Gabi, and Koke, a total of five people participated in the passing and cutting cooperation, and finally succeeded in passing the ball.
Sent into Zaragoza's penalty area.
And Qiao Anchen happened to run into the gap. He received Koke's pass and shot directly without stopping. He kicked the ball 8 meters in front of the goal and kicked the ball towards the lower left corner.
Although goalkeeper Roberto responded with a save, the angle was too tricky and he was ultimately unable to do anything. He could only watch the ball go into the blind corner against the post.
In the 73rd minute, Qiao Anchen scored again, scoring twice and helping Atletico Madrid expand the score to 3-0, completely killing the suspense of the game.
Not to mention that Zaragoza had surrendered. Even if they wanted to counterattack, it was impossible to recover the three-goal gap.
Therefore, after only 2 minutes, Simeone replaced Qiao Anchen, using up the last substitution place, to prepare for the next Europa League game.
With Joan Chen and Falcao both off the field, Atletico Madrid's offensive threat dropped sharply, so Zaragoza stepped up its attack, hoping to score a goal before the end of the game to save some face.
They really succeeded.
In the 92nd minute of stoppage time, Zaragoza got a corner kick opportunity.
When the ball was penalized into the penalty area, neither side was able to grab the first point. The ball fell into the penalty area, causing confusion among the players on both sides.
In the chaos, the ball was kicked up and hit the hand of center back Mario Suarez, and the referee awarded a penalty kick.
Through this penalty kick, Zaragoza successfully regained a point and ended the game with a score of 1-3, avoiding the danger of being shaved by Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid also achieved 17 consecutive victories in two-way battles, and Qiao Anchen raised his total goals in 2012 to 28 goals, only one goal away from Messi's 29 goals.
The two of them are really chasing after each other and promoting each other, which is a great beauty in world football.
You know, many forwards can score 30 goals a year, which is considered very productive. As a result, Qiao Anchen and Messi only played in March, and they have already scored close to 30 goals, which is amazing.
After the final whistle sounded, Qiao Anchen also received a game experience reward of 100,000 for starting, 2 goals, 200,000 for winning, 100,000 for best on the spot, 200,000 = 600,000, and the total experience increased to level 33, 3.07 million/7 million.
After the game, the news that Qiao Anchen continued to set a new record for consecutive goals scored in La Liga naturally continued to occupy the front pages of many media.
Fans and netizens are discussing hotly, expressing their expectations whether Qiao Anchen can tie or even break Gerd Muller's world record of 16 consecutive goals.
However, after checking the La Liga schedule, everyone discovered that the third game later happened to be the Madrid derby between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
Real Madrid, which ranks first in the standings, not only has a world-class goalkeeper like Casillas at the helm, but the team under Mourinho also defends very strongly.
When it comes to defense, Mourinho may be more proficient than Simeone.
Moreover, even if the game is Atletico Madrid's home court, Real Madrid will definitely not lack fighting spirit. If Qiao Anchen wants to score Real Madrid's goal, it will definitely not be as easy as other teams.
Besides, with the reputation of Real Madrid's Galacticos and Mourinho's character, will they allow Qiao Anchen to step on their corpses to tie Gerd Muller's record and set a new record in the next game?
impossible.
Therefore, Real Madrid will definitely attack Qiao Anchen in this Madrid derby.
But precisely because of this, more people are looking forward to whether Qiao Anchen can continue to score goals and create miracles.
This edition of the Madrid Derby is no less attractive than the Spanish El Clasico. Countless people are eagerly looking forward to seeing the contest between Qiao Anchen and Real Madrid.
But before that, there are still a few games to be played, and the first one is the Europa League game.
At 20:45 in the evening on March 29, with the referee's whistle, the first leg of the 2011/2012 Europa League quarter-finals between Atletico Madrid and Hannover 96 at home officially started at the Calderon Stadium.
Although Hannover 96 is the biggest dark horse in this Europa League, it was only the second time in the club's history that they participated in the European competition and broke into the quarterfinals of the Europa League.
But in fact, their strength was simply not enough after meeting Atletico Madrid.
Hannover 96 is currently ranked 8th in the Bundesliga. In the last 4 games, they have one draw and three losses. It is difficult to win. Their recent record and state are quite poor.
Atletico Madrid is currently ranked third in La Liga, and in 2012, after changing coach Simeone, it has won 17 consecutive victories in two lines. The striker combination of Qiao Anchen and Falcao is even more powerful in world football.
After the last round of 1/8 finals, Manchester United and Manchester City were eliminated, making Atletico Madrid the biggest favorite to win this Europa League.
With such a record and strength, Hannover 96 is still a guest at the Calderon Stadium, so how can they win?
Except for a small number of German media, no one is optimistic about Hannover 96. Everyone agrees that Atletico Madrid will eliminate Hannover 96 through two rounds of knockout rounds, advance to the semi-finals, and launch an attack on the championship.
