Falcao scored his 10th goal in the Europa League this season, successfully surpassing Joan Chen and tied for the top scorer list with Huntelaar.
Fans gave Tiger Falcao a warm ovation in the rain.
The 2-0 score also gave Atletico Madrid fans a relaxed mentality. They felt that there should be no problem for Atletico Madrid to defeat Valencia and advance to the final.
Unexpectedly, before the end of the first half, Valencia launched a wonderful quick counterattack in the 45th minute, and finally their forward scored in the penalty area to tie the score to 2-1.
Now, the situation is a bit grim for Atletico Madrid.
Not only did the lead become a goal, but it also allowed the opponent to get an away goal. If the first round ended with this score, it would be somewhat disadvantageous for Atletico Madrid.
Therefore, at the halftime break, Atletico Madrid players looked a little heavy-faced, while Valencia players were more excited, feeling that they had hope of a comeback.
During the halftime break, Simeone was furious in the locker room, expressing his anger at the team's careless conceding of a goal in the last minute of the first half, which put the team into crisis.
In particular, central defender Miranda was severely criticized for his rash attack and failure to stay in position, allowing the opponent's forward to successfully break through and score.
The result may be that Simeone's rage had some effect. After the start of the second half, in the 49th minute, when Atletico Madrid got a corner kick opportunity, Miranda entered the opponent's penalty area to participate in the competition for the top corner and successfully grabbed it.
The first header was successful and headed into the Valencia goal.
Miranda made up for it and expanded Atletico Madrid's score 3-1. Simeone on the sidelines also nodded repeatedly and applauded Miranda to show encouragement.
Before Valencia could catch their breath, not long after, in the 54th minute, Qiao Anchen made a pass from the right. Falcao jumped from the center and also attracted the attention of several defenders and goalkeepers in Valencia.
.
As a result, the ball fell to the back point, and the left midfielder Adrian, with almost no one marking him, made a diving dive and successfully headed the ball into the goal.
Atletico Madrid scored two goals in 5 minutes, extending the score to 4-1.
Such a score, even if this is the first round and the game is not over yet, is enough for Atletico Madrid fans to celebrate wildly.
If the first round ends with this score, Atletico Madrid is almost guaranteed to win. With Atletico Madrid's current offensive level, Valencia will defeat Atletico Madrid 3-0 or more at home in the second round, almost completely
It's impossible.
Therefore, not only Adrian who scored the goal, but also Qiao Anchen who assisted, Falcao who covered the middle, and all the Atletico Madrid players excitedly rushed to the sidelines, surrounded Adrian, and celebrated warmly.
Valencia felt quite desperate, but unwilling to accept it, so they made three substitutions in the next 20 minutes, using up all the substitutions, trying to score more goals and retain the hope of a comeback in the second round.
As a result, not only did he fail to score, but he suffered another fatal blow from Qiao Anchen in the 80th minute.
Qiao Anchen did not perform well in the heavy rain in this game, but it does not mean that there is no chance at all. After all, his shooting skills are his biggest weapon.
Even though the previous shots failed to score, in the 80th minute, Adrian returned the favor and won a volley opportunity for Qiao Anchen with a pass from the wing. Qiao Anchen finally met the ball near the penalty spot in the penalty area and volleyed.
Angrily shooting, he successfully hit the world with a heavy shot and blasted the ball into the Valencia goal.
Qiao Anchen also scored his 10th goal in the Europa League, tied for the top scorer with Falcao and Huntelaar, and helped Atletico Madrid expand the score to 5-1 again, completely killing the Europa League half.
The suspense of the two rounds of the final.
Huntelaar's Schalke 04 has been eliminated. It depends on who can continue to score goals and win the golden boot between Qiao Anchen and Falcao.
But no matter what, this season's Europa League Golden Boot is destined to be in Atletico Madrid's bag.
At the same time, Qiao Anchen also increased his total number of goals for the year to 40 goals, breaking the 40-goal mark.
The vast majority of forwards, including clubs and national teams, cannot score more than 40 goals in a year. Only top superstars like Messi and Ronaldo can achieve an annual goal rate of more than 40 goals.
As a result, Qiao Anchen has already scored 40 goals in April. Even if there is a summer truce in the middle, but according to this average goal rate, Qiao Anchen will score more than 80 goals throughout the year, which may impact Ged Mou.
Le's annual record of 85 goals set in 1972?
Considering that Qiao Anchen has now scored in 17 consecutive La Liga games, breaking Gerd Muller's record of 16 games, it does not seem to be an unreachable thing to break his annual total goal record.
At the same time, Messi's goal rate also exceeds one goal per game. Many people are beginning to look forward to the two's total goals this year.
In modern football, where it is extremely difficult for the total annual goals to exceed the 50-goal mark, if someone can really break Gerd Muller's 40-year-old annual total goal record, it will undoubtedly be a major event in today's world football.
However, after Joan Chen scored to help Atletico Madrid expand the score to 5-1, Simeone began to make substitutions one after another, and Atletico Madrid became a little careless.
After Joan Chen and Falcao were both substituted, Valencia launched a very powerful attack in the last few minutes. Finally, in the 91st minute of injury time before the end of the game, their center back scored a corner kick opportunity.
He scored a header and tied the total score to 2-5.
Although they are still three goals behind, they still have two away goal advantages. It cannot be said that Valencia has no hope of advancing.
Of course, after the game, it was Atletico Madrid people who celebrated. After all, a huge advantage of three goals is not so easy to erase. This score has almost ended the suspense of Atletico Madrid's advancement to the final in the second round.
If Valencia wants to return home to reverse the situation and eliminate Atletico Madrid, I don't know how much luck it will take.
Naturally, Qiao Anchen was not elected as the best player in this game. The best player was Falcao who scored twice.
Therefore, Qiao Anchen's final experience was 200,000 starts, 1 goal, 200,000, 1 assist, 100,000 winning prize, 300,000 = 800,000, and the total experience increased to level 35, 8.4 million/9 million.
Qiao Anchen will most likely be promoted to another level in the next game.
