This away game against Athletic Bilbao also allowed Qiao Anchen to tie the total number of goals scored by Jose Orogio Galate's Atletico Madrid with 135 goals, and tied for fourth in the club.
In addition, Qiao Anchen has scored an astonishing 49 goals in La Liga this season, only one away from tying Messi's La Liga single-season personal scoring record set only last season.
As for the league games, we have just finished the 21st round.
I don’t know to what extent Qiao Anchen will refresh his scoring record after 38 rounds. Not to mention La Liga records, European records, and world records are not to mention, and they will be greatly improved by Qiao Anchen.
In Serie A, Juventus was tied 1-1 at home by Genoa, and is only 3 points behind Napoli, who won this round in the standings.
The battle for the top spot in Serie A has become suspense again.
In the 1/16 finals of the English FA Cup, there was a huge upset. The Red Army Liverpool was unexpectedly defeated 3-2 by the third-tier English League One team Oldham and was eliminated from the FA Cup.
In addition, Tottenham were eliminated by the English Championship team Leeds United 2-1, and Chelsea was tied 2-2 by the English League One team Brentford, requiring a rematch at a later date.
As expected, cup competitions are the hotbed of upsets.
On January 30, in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, the Spanish El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona also ended in a 1-1 draw in a fierce offensive and defensive battle. Neither Messi nor Ronaldo scored.
No one got any advantage of the ball.
However, relatively speaking, everyone generally believes that Barcelona has an advantage when playing away games. After all, it is an away game. It can draw with Real Madrid and score an away goal. Barcelona should have a certain advantage when they return to Camp Nou in the second round.
of.
Next is another semi-final the next day.
But the next day, before the start of Atletico Madrid's Copa del Rey semi-final on the evening of January 31, two blockbuster transfers were revealed during the day.
Because January 31 is the deadline for the European winter transfer period, there are many transfers reached before the winter window closes on this day. However, the two most important ones are undoubtedly Balotelli and Beckham.
Balotelli didn't know if he was affected by the fight with head coach Mancini. Although Mancini said he didn't care, maybe he still gave Balotelli some shoes to wear during training and games.
Therefore, Balotelli finally transferred from Manchester City to AC Milan for 20 million euros at the last moment of the winter transfer period and returned to his homeland.
Perhaps, after returning to his motherland, Bashen can regain a certain state.
The 37-year-old Beckham left Major League Baseball and joined Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer for zero salary.
There is no doubt that this transfer has nothing to do with competitive performance. At the age of 37, it can help the team very little, so Beckham does not ask for a salary, just to continue playing football.
Of course, Paris Saint-Germain is not at a loss. It has such an idol star joining the team. It was just announced that countless fans in France have already started to pre-order Beckham's jerseys.
After a day spent in the transfer market, that night, at 22:00 on January 31, with the referee's whistle, the first leg of the 2012/2013 Spanish Copa del Rey semi-finals between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla was announced.
The game officially started in the Calderon Stadium with the cheers of tens of thousands of fans.
Sevilla is currently ranked 11th in La Liga. It is already very difficult to get a spot in the European competition through the league.
In the Copa del Rey, they have already reached the semi-finals and are very close to the final and the championship. Therefore, even if this game is against Atletico Madrid led by Joan Chen, even if it is an away game, Sevilla is determined to win.
Even if you don't win, you can't lose, or at least score one or two away goals to keep the hope of advancing to the final until the second round.
This kind of thinking determines that this game will not be easy for Atletico Madrid, because their opponent Sevilla will fight hard.
Sure enough, after the game started, on the one hand, Sevilla shrunk its defense to counterattack, and on the other hand, it fouled decisively when facing Qiao Anchen's breakthrough.
In just the third minute of the game, Qiao Anchen used his speed to force the ball past a midfielder on the right side of the frontcourt, and was immediately tackled by Navarro, the opponent's left back.
Moreover, Navarro tackled the ball first this time, and then brought down Qiao Anchen. There was not even a foul, but the ball was shoveled out of bounds, giving Atletico Madrid a foul ball.
In the 8th minute, Adrian made a pass from the left. When Diego Costa was fighting for the top of the penalty area, he was attacked by two opponent's center backs. Although he grabbed the first point, he failed to top the ball within the goal frame.
, higher than the beam.
While defending with all their strength, especially against Joan Chen, Sevilla did not forget to counterattack.
In the 14th minute, it was Qiao Anchen who got the ball in the middle and tried to pass by when he was interfered with and lost control of the ball. Kondogbia, the opponent's midfielder, took the opportunity to tackle the ball.
Qiao Anchen lost the ball, but Sevilla took advantage of the opportunity of the ball changing hands to launch a quick counterattack and successfully scored.
Fortunately, the opponent's forward Negredo was personally interfered by Atletico Madrid center back Diego Godin when he shot. Facing goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, his shot towards the far corner missed the post.
Atletico Madrid got the ball and resumed the offense again, returning to a situation where Atletico Madrid pressed forward heavily and Sevilla collectively returned to defense and defended.
When the defensive personnel in the penalty area are very dense and it is difficult for everyone to break through, Atletico Madrid can only shoot long shots or compete for the top of the ball in the air.
As a result, we were lucky. In the 21st minute, Qiao Anchen broke through from the right and made a pass from the bottom. Diego Costa fought for the top in the middle. Although he missed the ball due to the interference of the opponent, the ball that missed the ball hit him and he jumped up with his arms open.
On the arm of Sevilla's No. 4 center back Spasic, who is competing with Diego Costa.
Diego Costa, Adrian, Alda Turan and others who were closer and could see more clearly immediately raised their hands and shouted to the referee:
"foul!"
"Handball!"
"Penalty kick!"
The referee did not hesitate. He ran into the penalty area and blew the whistle with a "beep" sound. He awarded Atletico Madrid a penalty kick and gave Spasic a yellow card.
Spasic and Sevilla players surrounded the referee and tried their best to explain that it was an unintentional handball and that Spasic did not intentionally commit a handball foul.
However, the referee ignored Sevilla's appeal and upheld the original decision. Sevilla could only accept the fate of being awarded a penalty kick.
The penalty kick was naturally taken by Qiao Anchen.
No surprise, Qiao Anchen succeeded in one move, easily kicking the ball into the upper left corner of the goal. After Diego Lopez moved to Real Madrid, No. 13 goalkeeper Beto, who was able to start the starting lineup, even misjudged the direction, so naturally he was against Qiao Anchen.
The ball is powerless.
Qiao Anchen opened the scoring with a penalty kick, helping Atletico Madrid take a 1-0 lead.
