Getafe thought very well. They just had to concentrate on guarding Qiao Anchen, and they might even be able to steal the ball and counterattack.
However, it was only during the game that they discovered the horror of Qiao Anchen and why De Jong was so angry that he maliciously tackled Qiao Anchen in the last Champions League game.
Because conventional means cannot prevent Qiao Anchen at all.
Qiao Anchen himself has 80% off-the-ball movement and 91% reaction, coupled with full physical fitness and speed, as well as perfect Matthews passing skills, with the strength of Getafe, a player from a mid-tier La Liga team, how can we defend him?
?
Even if he knew that Qiao Anchen was going to catch the ball, break through, or shoot, he couldn't stop him.
After barely blocking several of Qiao Anchen's attacks through the crowd tactics, in the 19th minute, Qiao Anchen suddenly cut inward from the right side of the frontcourt to the middle and received a pass from left wing back Adrian in the gap.
Immediately afterwards, Qiao Anchen immediately passed the ball to Diego Costa who was in front of him, and they hit the wall and cooperated to break through Getafe Berada.
Then, the moment he received Costa's return pass, Qiao Anchen used Matthews to pass through the last defender in front of him, Juan Rodriguez.
Qiao Anchen's Matthews dribbling move was so perfect, even more skillful, perfect and prestigious than Messi. Therefore, when he saw Qiao Anchen doing this move, Rodriguez was so scared that he stepped back like a reflex.
He retreated directly into the penalty area, intending to block his position first and wait for his teammates to cover and defend.
As a result, Qiao Anchen did not really break through. Instead, after forcing Rodriguez back, he immediately moved the ball to the right. After clearing the foot space, he immediately volleyed the ball towards the upper right corner of the goal.
The ball soared into the air, dodged two Getafe players who tried to block the hole, drew a parabola in the air, and flew toward the upper right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Moya's line of sight was blocked by his teammates in the penalty area. By the time he saw the flight path of the ball kicked by Qiao Anchen and moved his feet to dive out, it was already too late.
Moya was in the air, watching helplessly as the ball flew against the post and into the blind spot of the goal.
Although Qiao Anchen has average shooting power and no arc skills, he used perfect shooting skills to hit a shot that went straight into the blind corner and perfectly avoided the goalkeeper's save.
In the 19th minute, Qiao Anchen opened the scoring, giving Atletico Madrid a 1-0 lead.
The fans, who had been impatient for Qiao Anchen's goal, jumped up from their seats and clapped, cheered and screamed excitedly.
The commentators in the on-site commentary box and in the studios of TV stations from various countries also yelled in various languages:
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal..."
"Toooooooooooooooooooooooooor..."
"The ball is in, it's in, it's in, it's in, it's in..."
"Goal 96!"
"Qiao Anchen scored his first goal of the game in the 19th minute, helping Atletico Madrid lead 1-0."
"This is also his 96th goal this year, and he is only 4 goals away from the 100-goal mark."
"At the same time, this is Qiao Anchen's 33rd consecutive La Liga game in which he has scored."
"Qiao Anchen's goal not only broke the annual total goal record, but also broke his own record of consecutive goals in La Liga!"
"I can't stop it, I really can't stop it."
"Getafe knows that Atletico Madrid will go all out to help Joan Chen score. Atletico Madrid also knows that Getafe knows this, and also knows that Getafe will go all out to chase and block Joan Chen and defend to the death, but Atletico Madrid still insists.
Give the ball to Qiao Anchen."
"As for Qiao Anchen, he is constantly trying to move, break through, and shoot. Getafe's defensive efforts against Qiao Anchen are not enough. We often see three or four people appearing around Qiao Anchen at the same time to block and grab."
"There was even a situation where there were 6 people around Qiao Anchen when he broke through with the ball."
"Getafe also successfully destroyed Joan Chen's two attacks."
"But even so, we still failed to defend the defense until the end of the game. Instead, Qiao Anchen scored early in the 19th minute."
"The terrifying Qiao Anchen is really unstoppable."
"Plenty of physical fitness, speed that can compete in the Olympic 100-meter final, perfect Matthews' passing skills, and superb shooting skills that can hit wherever you point. How to defend against this?"
"Even the use of killing tactics is useless. De Jong already tried it in the last Champions League game. As a result, De Jong himself was sent off with a red card, but Qiao Anchen continued to stay on the field and scored goals even though he was injured.
."
"Qiao Anchen is not afraid of confrontation at all."
On the field, Qiao Anchen did not celebrate after scoring the goal, because his goal for this game was 5 goals. He only scored the first one in the 19th minute, which was a bit late, and he was not satisfied.
But there is no other way. Getafe knows that the ball will most likely be handed to his feet in the end, so it can easily predict the passes of his teammates and take precautions.
This makes it much more difficult for Qiao An to run, catch the ball, break through, and shoot.
So it's not time to celebrate big time yet, just give some hugs and high-fives to the teammates gathered around.
Of course, the reward for this goal is good, it is double, namely "33 consecutive La Liga games broke the world record" and "96 goals broke the annual total goal record", with a total of 20 million experience points, which made Qiao Anchen's total
The experience has increased to level 43, 63.02 million/80 million.
After the game restarted, Getafe became more determined to defend Qiao Anchen.
However, now that they were behind, and they were only behind by one goal, they still wanted to work hard to see if they could equalize the score, so they made some attacks.
When Getafe lost the ball in the attack, Atletico Madrid had a chance to counterattack. However, because Joan Chen was tightly defended, there was no chance. Instead, Falcao and Diego Costa got some opportunities.
In the 35th minute, Diego Costa successfully countered offside, received a long pass from Alda Turan, and reached the line of the penalty area to form a single shot.
Just when Diego Costa was dribbling the ball into the penalty area while observing whether Qiao Anchen on the right was following up, Qiao Anchen, who was closely guarded by two defenders from behind, decisively shouted to Diego Costa: "Costa
,Shoot!”
Therefore, Diego Costa, who had already dribbled the ball into the penalty area and formed a single shot, did not hesitate anymore. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Moya, he decisively hit a short corner.
Moya's positioning was extremely unscientific. He was probably trying to prevent Diego Costa from passing the ball across to Joan Chen on the right, so his positioning was a little closer to the middle and did not completely block the near corner.
By the time he saw Diego Costa finish the shot and rushed over in a hurry, it was already too late.
Diego Costa pushed the ball easily into the lower left corner.
Atletico Madrid scored another goal, extending the score to 2-0. However, this time it was not Joan Chen who scored the goal, but Diego Costa.
This ball disrupted Getafe's defensive strategy.
Before, they really concentrated most of their troops to chase and intercept Qiao Anchen and defend him tightly. In the end, Qiao Anchen didn't insist on asking for the ball.
Just now I saw that Diego Costa had formed a one-man situation, Qiao Anchen shouted for Costa to shoot, proving that Qiao Anchen would not blindly ask his teammates to pass the ball to him, let alone let his teammates pass the ball to him.
Give yourself the best shooting opportunity.
This not only made his teammates and fans have a favorable impression of Joan Chen, but also caused Getafe to lose sight of one thing in the next defensive strategy.
Because if they concentrate on defending Joan Chen, other Atletico Madrid players will be able to score goals and expand the score if they get shooting opportunities.
And Getafe's opponent was Atletico Madrid, not Joan Anchen. They blindly refused to let Joan Anchen score, and ended up with a tragedy with a huge score. This was not the result Getafe was pursuing.
Even if Getafe blocks Qiao Anchen in this game, Atletico Madrid still has so many games ahead, and it is basically a certainty that Qiao Anchen will break through the 100-goal mark this year.
So what's the point of them completely giving up their defense against other Atletico Madrid players in this game and staring at Qiao Anchen alone?
Even if they prevented Qiao Anchen from breaking through the 100-goal mark in this game, no one would award them an award.
Therefore, after the game restarted, Getafe had to allocate manpower to defend Diego Costa and Falcao to a certain extent. Although the main focus was still on Joan Chen, it was no longer as strict as before.
.
In the 39th minute, after Atletico Madrid played another team game, Qiao Anchen entered the penalty area and ran horizontally to pull away the two defenders. In this case, Falcao cut inside from the left and passed the ball in an inverted triangle.
It was sent to the gap at the top of the arc in the penalty area.
Raul Garcia stepped in from the back and took a high-quality long shot, but unfortunately it hit the outside of the post and bounced off the baseline.
Even so, Getafe's defense was so frightened that they no longer dared to defend Qiao Anchen alone, and had to allocate manpower to defend and intercept other Atletico Madrid players.
This gave Qiao Anchen a chance.
His previous call for Costa to shoot, and his lateral movement just now to create a gap for his teammates, were all to disrupt Getafe's strategy of concentrating their forces on him, allowing the other side to allocate manpower to mark other teammates, freeing up space for himself.
Space for running, catching the ball, breaking through, and shooting.
If you want to score a goal, you cannot let your opponent use all their defensive power on you alone.
