Chapter 340 Advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League
When celebrating with his teammates, Thiago laughed and said: "Look at Sandro on the other side, chasing after Joe's butt and watching Joe lob the ball in, his silly look is so funny."
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Alex Sandro.
Unexpectedly, Sandro also turned his attention from the goal to Qiao Anchen and others celebrating, and he happened to meet the mocking eyes of Atletico Madrid.
This immediately angered Alex Sandro.
From being praised by the media and fans after the first round, to being praised by Joan Chen and scoring a goal, Alex Sandro has already felt quite disappointed.
Looking at the mocking gazes that everyone in Atletico looked at him, it didn't take much to ask. They must have said something bad about him and were laughing at him collectively, which made him feel like a clown.
After the game restarted, Alex Sandro, who was furious and suffocated, didn't care about anything but looking for trouble for Qiao Anchen.
In the 27th minute, when Qiao Anchen was about to take the ball in the middle of the midfield, Alex Sandro from the side came over with a flying shovel, knocking Qiao Anchen to the ground with the ball.
With full injury resistance, Qiao Anchen jumped up and made a reflexive evasive action the moment he was tackled. The final action that made him roll to the ground was quite exaggerated, which shocked the Atletico Madrid fans at the scene and in front of the TV.
, the Chinese and overseas Chinese fans were all frightened.
The Atletico Madrid players on the field were also shocked and rushed forward one after another. Some went to check Qiao Anchen's injury, while others rushed to Alex Sandro and cursed angrily.
The referee quickly separated the two sides and then asked about Qiao Anchen's injury.
As a result, Qiao Anchen was fine. He stood up and moved his ankle. There was nothing unusual. This made Atletico Madrid players and fans relieved.
Of course, as a coach, Simeone was still very angry and kept yelling at the fourth official on the sidelines, saying that this was a malicious tackle and required a red card.
But in the end, the referee did not give a red card, but only gave Alex Sandro a yellow card. This made everyone at Atletico very dissatisfied. The players did not dare to scold the referee, but the fans did not care so much and were in the stands one after another.
He yelled:
"Referee, stupid coin!"
"Black whistle!"
"Fake Squid!"
Qiao Anchen looked at Alex Sandro, who was behind the Porto players, and gave him a contemptuous smile.
Originally, this time he tackled Qiao Anchen, and he was not sent off with a red card, but only received a yellow card. This had already allowed Alex Sandro to vent a lot of his emotions, and he felt a lot calmer.
But Qiao Anchen's provocative and contemptuous smile made Alex Sandro angry again.
After the game restarted, Alex Sandro continued to pester Qiao Anchen, following him wherever Qiao Anchen ran.
But this was exactly Qiao Anchen's purpose in provoking him.
In the 36th minute, Joan Chen moved without the ball in the frontcourt and moved to the middle. Alex Sandro followed Joan Chen in running. As a result, Mario Suarez, who got the ball, passed the ball toward the baseline of the wing and inserted the assist.
Defender Juan Forlan made an easy pass when Alex Sandro was out of position. Diego Costa fought for the top of the ball in the middle and headed the ball into the goal.
Atletico Madrid scored the second goal, extending the total score to 4-1, basically killing all the suspense in the game.
And this uninterrupted and extremely easy cross made Alex Sandro realize his mistake and became even more annoyed.
In the 45th minute, when the first half was about to end, Atletico Madrid stole the ball in the backcourt and Diego Godin kicked the ball to the right side of the frontcourt with a big kick.
Qiao Anchen and Alex Sandro rushed towards the spot where the ball landed at the same time. Qiao Anchen relied on his 92cm physique and perfect injury resistance, so he was naturally not afraid.
And Alex Sandro, holding a fire in his heart, didn't care whether he would be injured or not, and even had a slight intention of deliberately hurting Qiao Anchen, so he rushed over without giving in.
The two stared at the ball falling in the air at a distance of more than one meter, jumped at the same time, then bumped shoulders in the air, and collided head-to-head.
"ah!!!"
Both of them let out a scream and fell from the air, clutching their heads and screaming.
The commentators supporting Qiao Anchen and Atletico Madrid were worried:
"Qiao Anchen and Alex Sandro collided hard in the air. Both of them covered their heads and screamed. It looked like they were seriously injured."
"The referee has stopped the game and both team doctors have entered the field."
"I hope Qiao Anchen won't get hurt."
"Qiao Anchen is the absolute backbone of Atletico Madrid. If Qiao Anchen is injured, it's hard to say whether Atletico Madrid can maintain its current momentum in the following games."
"It is absolutely correct to say that Atletico Madrid suffers from Joan Chen dependence."
Fortunately, after examination by the team doctor, it was discovered that Qiao Anchen only had a small bump on the left side of his forehead and was slightly bruised. He just sprayed some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing spray.
On the other hand, Alex Sandro was miserable.
Qiao Anchen had a physique of 92 and full anti-injury protection. He only suffered a few bruises and skin injuries, but Alex Sandro was directly hit on the forehead, bleeding profusely, and felt dizzy and brain-swollen.
If you have symptoms of concussion, you must leave the game or even be sent to the hospital for more detailed examination.
Therefore, the referee directly blew the whistle to end the first half of the game, and Sandro was sent to the hospital.
But few Atletico Madrid people sympathized with him, because everyone could see that Alex Sandro was a bit suspected of intentionally hurting people today, including the flying tackle before.
At this time, the mid-air collision with Qiao Anchen ended up being injured and sent to the hospital. In the eyes of many people who admire Qiao Anchen, this can only be regarded as retribution.
During the halftime break, Qiao Anchen directly activated the "dream training" function of the system, lay down on a chair in the locker room and slept for more than ten minutes. The last impact of the head hit was gone.
However, Simeone still did not dare to take risks and only let Qiao Anchen play for more than ten minutes in the second half. After seeing that Porto still failed to score, he replaced Qiao Anchen in the 62nd minute.
Although Joan Chen was off the field, Falcao and Diego Costa were still on the court, and their intimidation was still there, harassing Porto's defense from time to time, making it impossible for the whole team to press forward and attack wildly.
On Atletico Madrid's side, both the defender and the goalkeeper performed well and firmly guarded the goal. Until the end of the game, Porto was not allowed to score even a goal.
In the end, Atletico Madrid eliminated Porto and advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals with a 2-1 away score in the first leg, a 2-0 home score in the second leg, and a total score of 4-1 in both legs.
