Amid everyone's heated discussion about Qiao Anchen's 100-meter run breaking the 10-second mark, Atletico Madrid's third round of La Liga make-up match against Real Betis away from home is about to begin.
Originally, this round of games was supposed to be played on September 1, but Atletico Madrid played a European Super Cup on August 31, so this game was postponed to now.
Courtois hit his head on the goalpost during training the day before and was a little uncomfortable, so he stopped playing this game. The starting goalkeeper was No. 1 Asenjo.
In the midfield, Arda Turan played as right back. In terms of forward, Diego Costa sat on the bench for rotation, Simeone sent Adrian to start as the left winger, and Falcao returned to the center position.
At 21:00 on the evening of September 26, with the referee's whistle, the third round of La Liga make-up match between Real Betis and Atletico Madrid officially began.
It rained heavily during this game, which had a greater impact on Qiao Anchen, who relied on speed and breakthroughs.
In addition, Qiao Anchen is well-known, has high scoring efficiency, and has just released a video of 100 meters and 9.92 seconds, which shocked the world. Naturally, he became the target of public criticism and was closely monitored by his opponents.
Affected by various factors such as away games, heavy rain, Joan Chen's limited performance, Diego Costa not starting, etc., Atletico Madrid also had a difficult game.
In the 25th minute, Real Betis, who was playing at home, relied on midfielder No. 18 Agra's arc shot from outside the penalty area to take the lead. Atletico Madrid fell behind 0-1 in the away game.
Fortunately, just 3 minutes later, Falcao equalized the score for Atletico Madrid.
The way the goal was scored was when Alda Turan stepped in from the right, hit the wall with Qiao Anchen and then made a cross. Falcao succeeded with a header in the penalty area and tied the score at 1-1.
.
However, before the end of the first half, in the 44th minute, the main center back Diego Godin successfully broke the ball out of the bottom line when he was defending the opponent's cross, but he sprained his ankle and had to be injured.
He left the field and was replaced by Simeone with substitute central defender Daniel Dias.
After Dias came on as a substitute, in the 45th minute of injury time, it was during this corner kick attack that Godin broke the ball out of the baseline. Real Betis took a corner kick, and defender Juan Fran hit in the penalty area.
During the melee, he accidentally touched the ball with his shoulder, and by chance, he scored an own goal and knocked the ball into his own goal.
Goalkeeper Asenjo was caught off guard and had no reaction. He could only watch the ball go into the net.
The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 2-1, and Atletico Madrid, who was playing away from home, was in a rare situation of falling behind.
Although Qiao Anchen had several shots in the first half, he failed to score due to the bad weather and the opponent's strict defense.
Among them, there was a good-quality volley in the penalty area, but it was saved by Real Betis goalkeeper Castu who performed well. In the end, Qiao Anchen failed to score a goal in the first half.
After a 15-minute intermission, the game changed sides again in the second half.
Just when some commentators and fans were still discussing whether Qiao Anchen could score in the heavy rain in this game, in the 47th minute, Qiao Anchen ran out of space in the frontcourt near the penalty area line and received a call from Adrian.
Pass the ball.
After getting the ball, Qiao Anchen made a perfect Matthews dribble and instantly broke through the center back Pekes in front of him and entered the penalty area.
Many times, even if you know how Qiao Anchen will break through, you will still be fooled when faced with Qiao Anchen's perfect Matthews passing skills.
The body reacts naturally and cannot be controlled by others. Just like Messi, you know clearly that he is a great threat and have accumulated heavy troops to defend tightly, but he still keeps breaking through and scoring goals.
After defeating Pecos, there was only Nacho, the last defender left in front of Qiao Anchen.
There is no need for Qiao Anchen to make another breakthrough. As long as he can get away from Nacho and gain space to shoot, with Qiao Anchen's shooting skills, he may score a goal.
Just when Qiao Anchen tricked Nacho to move his center of gravity slightly to the left by shaking his body, Qiao Anchen moved the ball to the right to gain space for his feet and was about to shoot. Defender Pekes, who had been broken through by Qiao Anchen just now, had already completed his turn.
Followed back to defend and rushed into the penalty area.
Seeing Qiao Anchen preparing to take a shot, Pekes was so anxious that he didn't think much and made a flying shovel from behind, trying to destroy the ball. As a result, he not only failed to tackle the ball, but instead tackled Qiao Anchen in the penalty area.
inside.
"beep……"
The referee's sharp whistle sounded, and Peques tackled someone from behind in the penalty area. The referee was directly sent off with a red card and awarded Atletico Madrid a penalty kick.
Although Peques and his teammates tried their best to plead with the referee, it had no effect. Real Betis was determined to suffer the death penalty of this red card penalty.
Pecos walked off the field in despair, and Atletico Madrid took the penalty kick.
Naturally, Qiao Anchen took the penalty kick.
Without any surprise, Qiao Anchen kicked the penalty kick created by himself into the upper right corner. Goalkeeper Kastu judged the right direction, but the angle of Qiao Anchen's penalty kick was too tricky, and it was still out of reach.
In the 48th minute of the second half, Qiao Anchen finally scored through a penalty kick, helping Atletico Madrid tie the score at 2-2.
The commentators who had been waiting for Qiao Anchen's goal for a long time shouted:
"goooooooooooooooooooooooal..."
"The ball went in!!!"
"In the 27th game, Qiao Anchen scored again, raising his La Liga scoring record to 27 consecutive games."
"Unimaginable record, unrivaled stability."
"Goals every game."
"As long as there is Qiao Anchen, it means Atletico Madrid will definitely be able to score goals."
"It also means that the opponent will fall behind before the game starts."
"How can we play this kind of game?"
"However, Real Betis is lucky in this game. Let's see if they can curb Atletico Madrid's winning streak."
"But now one of their players has been sent off with a red card and they are faced with a situation where 10 men are fighting."
"Even if it's a home game, even if you're lucky, it's still a bit uncertain."
Qiao Anchen also celebrated with his teammates while receiving the reward of 10 million experience points for "27 consecutive La Liga goals, setting a new world record". The total experience level increased to level 41, 16.89 million/60 million.
After the game restarted, Real Betis, whose main defender Peques was sent off with a red card, had to remove a forward and replace it with a defender, thus sacrificing attack power.
In the following games, as everyone expected, Real Betis, who was missing one striker, almost did not play any threatening offense.
And with one less player to fight, even the defense is no longer as good as before. Atletico Madrid is constantly bombarded from the air, directly threatening the goal.
However, Falcao is not tall enough after all, so he still cannot hit many air balls.
Therefore, in the 58th minute, Simeone replaced Diego Costa for Qiao Anchen, who had performed poorly in this game and only relied on a penalty kick to break the record again, and asked Costa and Falcao to fight for the head in the penalty area.
ball.
This substitution worked well.
Not long after Diego Costa came on the field, in the 64th minute, full-back Juan Fran, who had previously scored an own goal, stepped forward with an assist, reached the bottom line and made a pass. Diego Costa made a pass between Falcao and
Under the cover of Adrian, he jumped up high from the back of the goal, successfully grabbed the first point, swung his head towards the goal, and headed the ball into the upper corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Kastu, who rushed back in a hurry, was unable to catch the ball and could only watch the ball go into the net.
In the 64th minute, Atletico Madrid finally reversed the score and rewritten the score to 3-2, in turn leading Real Betis by one goal.
Real Betis was naturally dissatisfied and unwilling to lose. Then they substituted two players within 2 minutes to strengthen their attack.
Simeone also made the last substitution in the 71st minute, replacing Arda Turan with midfielder Koke, and continued to struggle with Betis.
After scoring first and then being reversed by Atletico Madrid, the Real Betis players were a little anxious.
In the 82nd minute, No. 15 Campbell, who was originally a substitute, received his second yellow card. Two yellow cards were changed to one red, and he was fined again.
Real Betis sent off two players with red cards in this game, leaving only nine players on the field.
The team was originally not strong enough, but now only 9 people were left to fight, and there was no luck in the first half. Real Betis failed to score again until the end of the game.
However, the recent schedule has been too intensive, and the relatively tired Atletico Madrid was unable to continue to expand the score in the heavy rain.
But the 3-2 score was enough for Atletico Madrid to leave with 3 points.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Atletico Madrid reversed Real Betis 3-2 away and won the third round of make-up games.
Qiao Anchen, who only scored one goal, failed to be elected as the best player. The final game experience he gained was 100,000 starts, 1 goal, 100,000 winning bonus, 50,000 = 250,000, and the total experience rose to level 41, 17.14 million/60 million.
After the game, Atletico Madrid, which had completed make-up games, like other teams, played all the first five rounds of the new season and achieved a record of winning all five games.
Among other teams, only Barcelona has also won five games, and like Atletico Madrid, they have 15 points.
In terms of goal difference, both teams have 11 goals, so we can only compare the number of goals scored. Atletico Madrid's total number of goals in the first five rounds was 18, and Barcelona's was 14.
Therefore, with the same points and the same goal difference, Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona with more goals and temporarily topped the La Liga standings.
Real Madrid is only ranked 7th and needs to work hard.
