With a two-goal lead in hand, Rayo Vallecano, who had no expectation of defeating Atletico Madrid, naturally had a different thought at this time.
In the subsequent games, they defended harder, harder, and more united, vowing to maintain the 2-0 lead until the end of the game to win.
However, Atletico Madrid's situation is also different.
Led by several captains and deputy captains, the Atletico Madrid team also began to work together, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks on Rayo Vallecano's defense.
If there are not many interceptors, Qiao Anchen will break through, pass by, and try to get out of the way to shoot. If there are too many interceptors, Qiao Anchen will give the ball to his teammates.
Except for Qiao Anchen, Atletico Madrid's other players are at the La Liga level after all. Even Falcao is still a first-class superstar, but not as good as a superstar like Qiao Anchen.
But when no one is defending, Falcao's shooting skills can still threaten the opponent's goal.
Before the end of the first half, in the 43rd minute, Atletico Madrid seized the opportunity. First, Qiao Anchen got the ball on the right side of the front court and broke through an opponent's midfield defender. Then he fought with Diego Costa who was connecting.
He hit a wall and entered the penalty area.
At this moment, everyone in Rayo Vallecano became nervous, thinking that Qiao Anchen was about to shoot, and they swarmed towards Qiao Anchen. Even goalkeeper Ruben squatted nervously on the right side of the goal, eyes wide open.
Staring at Qiao Anchen's feet, ready to pounce at any time.
As a result, the moment Qiao Anchen raised his right foot, two defenders flew forward to tackle him, trying to block the hole of the gun.
Qiao Anchen's dropped foot did not shoot, but instead hit an inverted triangle and passed the ball back to the outside of the penalty area on the left.
Falcao received a pass from Joan Chen on the left side of the penalty area and shot. He first moved the ball to dodge the defender who also flew to block the ball, and then volleyed on the spot, hitting an extremely tricky angle.
Run to the corner.
However, goalkeeper Reuben also reacted very quickly and jumped to the left when Qiao Anchen passed the ball across the ball. In addition, Falcao wasted a little time in order to get the ball out of the way of the opponent's defender who flew to block the hole of the gun, and was just saved by flying.
Reuben caught up, reached out and pushed the ball outward, successfully changing the path of the ball.
However, Ruben's save failed to push the ball out of the baseline. Instead, it only hit the left post and then bounced back into the penalty area, causing chaos in the penalty area.
In the chaos, I don’t know whose foot the ball hit, and it bounced up and landed just in front of Qiao Anchen in the small penalty area on the right side.
There were too many people around him, and Qiao Anchen was the one being focused on. He didn't have time to wait for the ball to fall and then volleyed. But the height of the ball was not high enough, and he couldn't head the ball, and his heading skills were not good either.
.
Therefore, Qiao Anchen, whose reaction attribute reached over 90, was pinched by two defenders and subconsciously pushed forward. He squeezed the two defenders away and used his belly to block the mid-high ball that fell in front of him into the empty goal.
The chaotic scene in the penalty area made it impossible for the commentators to see clearly whether the ball was scored or not. They were stunned for a moment before yelling crazily:
"Did the ball go in?"
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal…”
"The ball went in!!!"
"The ball really went in!"
"Qiao Anchen, Qiao Anchen used his belly to block the ball into Rayo Vallecano's goal in the chaos!"
"Goal 51!"
"Qiao Anchen scored his 51st La Liga goal this season, surpassing Messi's 50 goals last year and setting a new La Liga single-season personal scoring record."
"At the same time, this is Qiao Anchen's 43rd consecutive goal in La Liga. With this goal, Qiao Anchen broke two records in a row."
"It is said that today is the first day of the traditional Chinese New Year. To score such a goal with your stomach and set two records in a row is undoubtedly a very good New Year gift."
"Let us congratulate Qiao Anchen and say to him: Happy New Year!"
The Chinese and overseas Chinese in the stands were very happy to see that Qiao Anchen finally scored a goal and broke two records at once. Thousands of overseas Chinese and Atletico Madrid fans cheered, even less than when Rayo Vallecano scored before
At that time, the support of the home team's fans was poor.
Simeone on the sidelines also felt quite excited.
Although there is a considerable element of luck in such a belly goal, if it is scored, it is scored. Luck itself is a part of football.
Pulling back a goal at the end of the first half will undoubtedly relieve Simeone from a lot of pressure.
However, Qiao Anchen, who scored a goal on the field, set two records in a row, and received a reward of 10 million yuan to refresh the world record and a reward of 1 million yuan to refresh the La Liga single-season scoring record, was not complacent and celebrated, but took advantage of the trend.
Go into the goal, pick up the ball, return all the way to the center circle, place the ball at the midpoint, and signal Rayo Vallecano to kick off quickly.
Along the way, Qiao Anchen simply high-fived and celebrated with his teammates, who also did not celebrate grandly.
Because Atletico Madrid is still lagging behind and has only pulled back one goal, so it's not time to celebrate.
Seize the time to play, try to score two more goals, and reverse the score is the real thing.
However, the remaining time in the first half was too little after all. No one scored in the final time, and the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 2-1.
Although some players went home last night and had diarrhea due to eating chili or strong Chinese food and did not have a good rest, they all thought it was an accident and that they were alone. They did not talk to each other about it when they came to the game today, and neither did Simeone.
I didn't know, so I lost two goals in the first half and only scored one goal by luck.
Simeone asked during the halftime break that if anyone felt uncomfortable and could not last the second half of the game, just bring it up and make substitutions in advance. Don't force it.
Atletico Madrid is still behind by the score, but they can't just wander around on the court, as they will definitely have to go through a hard fight in the second half.
Therefore, if there are players who are sick, they must take the initiative to stand up and take off the field, so as not to affect the overall offense and operation of the team on the field.
Everyone knew that this was no joke, so Diego Costa took the initiative to stand up and said that he had an upset stomach and was not in good condition, so he might as well change it.
Right back Juan Fran, who was beaten by the opponent's left midfielder Bangura, causing Atletico Madrid to lose two goals in a row, really had a problem. This time he took the initiative to say that he had diarrhea more than once last night, so he was in poor condition today.
, it’s better for him to switch in the midfield.
For non-war crimes, Simeone stopped blaming everyone. Instead, he affirmed Diego Costa and Juan Fran for taking the initiative and expressing their willingness to leave the game.
Then, Simeone replaced Diego Costa with Adrian, and replaced Juan Fran with No. 17 substitute right back Silvio Manuel.
After arranging the substitutions, Simeone also gave a mobilization speech, asking everyone to score goals in the second half, reverse the score, win the game, and maintain the 4-point lead over Barcelona.
After a 15-minute rest, the second half of the game officially began.
Atletico Madrid, which had made two substitutions in a row, attacked at the beginning of the second half, but Rayo Vallecano was determined to defend to the end, and Atletico Madrid's opening blitz had no effect.
But Atletico Madrid is ultimately stronger, and the presence of Qiao Anchen completely breaks the balance.
Even though Rayo Vallecano had strictly defended Qiao Anchen, Qiao Anchen still seized the opportunity in the 58th minute. He retreated to the midfield to get the ball and passed two people to get the opening.
The goal was fully 32 meters away and the shot was fired, sending a heavy shot across the world.
Qiao Anchen himself is not proficient in arc technology, so the heavy artillery blasts he fires are usually straight forward.
But the ball speed is too fast, and sometimes it encounters air currents in the air and will suddenly change direction or fall rapidly, catching the goalkeeper off guard.
That's it this time.
Although Qiao Anchen's shot was very powerful and fast, the distance was too far and the angle was not too tricky. Qiao Anchen was also afraid that if the shot was too tricky, it would go outside the door frame.
Goalkeeper Ruben was already ready to block the ball, but he didn't expect the ball to suddenly take a slight turn after entering the penalty area, catching Ruben off guard.
Although the ball deviated from its original path in a small arc, Ruben finally touched the ball with his conditioned reflex, but failed to block it. The ball still hit the top of his palm and bounced into the goal.
According to statistics, the speed of Qiao Anchen's shot exceeded 100 kilometers per hour, reaching 117 kilometers per hour. No wonder Ruben had no time to react after the ball turned, and finally failed to block the ball after touching it.
Qiao Anchen's full shooting power means that his probability of hitting a heavy shot at over 100 kilometers per hour is much higher than other players. Coupled with his shooting skills, the probability of hitting the goal frame is also quite high, which is a natural threat.
It is also much larger and has a super high scoring rate.
With Qiao Anchen's heavy long-range shot, Atletico Madrid finally equalized the score 2-2, and both sides stood on the same starting line.
Atletico Madrid fans at the scene and in front of the TV broke into enthusiastic applause and cheers, worshiping Qiao Anchen's two goals and this heavy shot.
As for the overseas Chinese fans present, they were even more excited.
On the first day of the first lunar month, instead of warming up the fire and blowing on the air conditioner at home, I went to the away game to watch the game. Wasn't it just to watch compatriot Qiao Anchen's performance?
In the end, Qiao Anchen did not disappoint everyone.
When Atletico Madrid conceded two goals first, Qiao Anchen scored twice to help Atletico Madrid tie the score.
This is undoubtedly the most exciting script.
Of course, it would be even better if he could score a goal later, take the lead, and reverse the score.
