After a few minutes of testing, Atletico Madrid was the first to attack. After all, with the two great strikers Qiao Anchen and Falcao, it would be a waste not to attack.
Moreover, Chelsea is somewhat focused on defensive counterattacks. They want to stabilize their position first and then wait for opportunities to counterattack.
As a result, no one expected that in only the 6th minute of the opening, after Qiao Anchen attracted the attention of two defenders on the right, Adrian, who was holding the ball in the middle, made a diagonal pass and inserted the ball into the gap on the left.
.
Falcao broke out from the crowd and formed a semi-single ball against offside. He dribbled the ball into the left corner of the penalty area and faced the attacking goalkeeper Petr Cech. He took a shot and successfully scored the ball into the far corner.
Center back Luis, who was desperately trying to defend, tried to make a clearance from the goal line, but failed to touch the ball.
Although Joan Anchen took away a lot of the ball and attention, Falcao is still a world-class super striker. He scored a lightning goal for Atletico Madrid in the first 6 minutes, helping Atletico Madrid lead 1-0.
.
I thought it was a close match, but I didn't expect Chelsea's goal to break in the first 6 minutes.
This is a championship battle that determines the outcome. Conceding the goal so quickly made Chelsea players and fans a little confused.
But even so, after the game restarted, they still subconsciously guarded Qiao Anchen tightly, but their marking of Falcao was still insufficient.
This is the experience left to everyone in the previous Levante game, and Chelsea has also made reference to it. In everyone's impression, Qiao Anchen is a much greater threat than Falcao.
The tactics arranged by Simeone took advantage of Qiao Anchen's attraction to the opponent's defenders, allowing Falcao, Adrian and others to have more ball rights and shooting opportunities.
Then, in the 19th minute, after Qiao Anchen and Falcao completed the cross-position substitution and attracted the attention of the two defensive players, Alda Turan, who was holding the ball, made a diagonal pass and sent the ball to the player who had shifted to the right.
Falcao's feet.
Falcao dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and Ashley Cole rushed into the penalty area to defend and got stuck inside, trying to block Falcao's shot.
As a result, Falcao made an emergency stop in the penalty area and moved Cole, who could not stop the car, to the front. Falcao then adjusted a step and immediately took off with his left foot and shot into the far corner.
Although goalkeeper Cech discovered Falcao's intention to shoot, he was standing a bit to the right. This time the shot went straight to the far corner from an awkward angle. Cech tried his best but failed to touch the ball.
The ball bypassed Cech's fingers, drew a wonderful arc in the air, and hit the far post and into the goal.
In the 19th minute, Falcao scored twice, helping Atletico Madrid lead 2-0. Qiao Anchen neither scored nor assisted.
The commentators were all surprised and said:
"Atletico Madrid took a 2-0 lead in just 19 minutes. The game was one-sided. Chelsea didn't even do a good job in defense, let alone attack."
"Falcao scored twice, but Qiao Anchen didn't score a goal or assist."
"But when we look at these two goals, Qiao Anchen is actually involved."
"It was Qiao Anchen's movement without the ball that attracted too much defensive attention from Chelsea and gave Falcao a chance."
"Obviously, Chelsea was deceived. Simeone unexpectedly arranged a tactic with Falcao as the core, sacrificing Qiao Anchen's breakthrough offensive ability, allowing Qiao Anchen to attract the Blues' defensive attention and give Falcao the opportunity to break through and shoot.
Chance."
"Falcao has lived up to expectations and won two games in a row, giving Atletico Madrid an absolute lead."
The commentators guessed right. After the Levante game, Simeone adopted a dual-core offensive strategy and tactics.
Both Qiao Anchen and Falcao are world-class strikers. They can usually attract the defensive attention of two or three people from the opponent, and Qiao Anchen can sometimes even attract four or five people to block them.
Under such circumstances, Atletico Madrid will focus its attack on Falcao, and let Falcao, who has more opportunities, complete the goal.
However, once the opponent reacts and allocates manpower to intercept Falcao, Qiao Anchen will take over the responsibility of the offensive standard bearer and complete the breakthrough shot.
After all, Qiao Anchen has perfect Matthews' dribbling skills, and his breakthrough ability is stronger than Falcao. As long as two or more defenders are not guarding him at the same time, he generally cannot be stopped.
Sometimes two or three people would surround them, but if they couldn't surround them at the same time, they might all be defeated by Qiao Anchen one by one.
Having two super strikers is what Atletico Madrid is happy about now.
After Falcao scored twice, Chelsea's defense inevitably stepped up its interception and blocking of Falcao. After all, two goals were enough to prove how good Falcao was in this game.
.
As a result, the defensive intensity against Qiao Anchen naturally decreased. In addition, being two goals behind, Chelsea still needed to attack, and the overall number of defenders in the midfield and backfield also decreased, and Qiao Anchen's opportunity came.
In the 35th minute, Chelsea's frontcourt attack was interrupted, and Atletico Madrid launched a quick counterattack, quickly forming a three-on-four situation in the frontcourt.
When two players were marking Falcao and there was only one defensive player beside Joan Chen, Ashley Cole, Adrian chose to pass the ball to Joan Chen's feet.
After receiving the ball, Qiao Anchen faced Ashley Cole's interception. He didn't waste any time at all. He deceived Ashley Cole with a pass from Matthews, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and then took a shot.
Ashley Cole, who was broken through by Qiao Anchen, turned around and stretched out his hand, trying to push and interfere with Qiao Anchen, but now that he was in the penalty area, he did not dare to use too much force for fear of committing a foul and being punished with a penalty kick. As a result, he failed to stop Qiao Anchen's shot.
.
Center back Luis, who was returning to defense, rushed into the penalty area and tried to block the hole of the gun, but he missed the ball by a hair.
The ball passed in front of the toe of Luiz's shoe, passed diagonally under the palm of Cech who was flying sideways, and flew into the far goal against the turf.
Guan Jianwen, the Chinese commentator, shouted excitedly:
"The ball has gone in, it has gone in, it has gone in..."
"Qiao Anchen finally scored!"
"After teammate Falcao scored two goals, Qiao Anchen finally scored on the stage of the European Super Cup!"
"Atletico Madrid leads Chelsea 3-0, basically sealing the victory. Qiao Anchen is going to win another championship!"
Indeed, with the Sheets already leading by 3 goals, few people believed that Chelsea could reverse the situation.
Even if Chelsea goes all out and scores three goals in the following games, won't Atletico Madrid continue to score goals?
On the contrary, with Chelsea's aggressive counterattack, Atletico Madrid may have more counterattack opportunities. With two great forwards, Joan Chen and Falcao, Atletico Madrid's offensive power cannot be underestimated by any team.
And everyone has already seen that Atletico Madrid, with its two great strikers Qiao Anchen and Falcao, cannot defend it at all.
If you guard against Qiao Anchen, Atletico Madrid will use Falcao as its attack point; if you guard against Falcao, Atletico Madrid will use Qiao Anchen as its focus. If you guard both of them, divide your forces, not to mention whether you can guard against Qiao Anchen if there are few people.
Atletico Madrid also has Arda Turan, Adrian and others who can also shoot.
You can't just not defend at all and let Adrian and others drive the ball all the way to the goal to shoot, right?
So, there is no solution at all.
This is just like Real Madrid and Barcelona. In addition to Ronaldo and Messi, their other teammates are also world-class. You can't just defend Ronaldo and Messi. You can only defend Ronaldo and Messi. Others can also score goals.
.But with separate defense and the personal abilities of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, they can complete a one-stop process of breaking through and scoring goals.
Atletico Madrid has already formed this situation at this time.
With Qiao Anchen and Falcao playing together, it is already difficult to contain it, even if you hold on tightly.
Qiao Anchen and Falcao's personal abilities are too strong.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Qiao Anchen celebrated with his teammates and also received the "European Super Cup First Goal" reward of 2 million experience points. The total experience increased to level 40, 5.42 million/50 million.
After Atletico Madrid celebrated for more than half a minute, the game continued.
As the commentators said, Chelsea has discovered Atletico Madrid's dual-core routine, but the problem is unsolvable. Moreover, they are still three goals behind and have to attack. As for the huge space exposed in the backcourt, they have also taken into account
Incredible.
As a result, Chelsea's aggressive attack was still unable to score a goal. Instead, they conceded another goal at the end of the first half.
In the 45th minute, Chelsea got a corner kick, but not only failed to score, but Atletico Madrid counterattacked. In the end, Alda Turan made a wonderful pass into the left wing, and Falcao received the ball and entered the goal.
From the left rib of the penalty area, he shot hard and hit the ball into the far corner.
Tiger Falcao scored a hat-trick in just half the game on the stage of the European Super Cup.
Therefore, the excited Falcao stretched out three fingers and ran along the baseline to celebrate, venting his excitement.
Since Qiao Anchen was transferred to the first team, this is Falcao's unprecedented highlight moment.
Although he actually scored a lot of goals, the problem was that Qiao Anchen was better and completely suppressed his performance to a lackluster performance. After the game, the news was overwhelmingly full of praise for Qiao Anchen, and Falcao felt a little aggrieved.
.
Even his proud single-season personal scoring record of 17 goals in the Europa League/European War in the 2010/2011 season was surpassed by Qiao Anchen in just half a season.
In this European Super Cup, it was finally Falcao's turn to shine.
The achievement of scoring a hat trick in just half a game is unlikely to be overshadowed by Qiao Anchen in any case.
