During the halftime break, coaches from both sides began to arrange tactics urgently.
Because Koke received a yellow card in the first half, the task of guarding Ye Chen in the second half was replaced by Saul.
Saul nodded in agreement.
Of course, Simeone requires the players to place the foul as far as possible in the midfield, so that the referee will not easily issue a yellow card, but it can also interrupt Sevilla's offensive rhythm.
As for the offense, they just need to strengthen their crosses.
The combination of Rudiger and Pareja still has a big problem, and the cooperation is obviously not tacit enough.
You can hit more neutral areas between them——
But what Simeone saw, Emery also saw.
The first thing he wanted was for Rudiger to position himself closer to Pareja.
The fifteen-minute break ended quickly.
Physiotherapists from both teams also took advantage of the halftime break to massage the players to relieve their muscle fatigue.
The second half begins.
The beautiful offensive and defensive battle that everyone was looking forward to was gone.
Atletico Madrid still insisted on their "midfield strangulation tactics", while Sevilla's players were frequently brought down by them.
The most important thing is that their foul actions are very sneaky, or they are far away from the penalty area.
It's hard for the referee to directly issue a yellow card.
Of course, this is Atletico's ability, he can bring his opponents into the rhythm they like.
Just like when Real Madrid played Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid had a strong offensive power, but every time they met Atletico Madrid, they felt like they had one foot stuck in the quagmire.
This is how Seville feels now.
But Sevilla is still ahead, so there is no rush——
The game time came to 67 minutes in the blink of an eye.
Atletico Madrid began to make substitutions.
He directly replaced the young player Koke who had a yellow card and replaced him with Raul Garcia!
This clearly indicates the need to strengthen the attack.
But Sevilla still stood still, mainly because there was nothing to change on the bench.
Think about the all-star lineup on the bench back then, and then think about it now - the gap is too big!
69 minutes and 51 seconds.
Atletico Madrid's Arda Turan dribbled the ball toward the center.
The ball was quickly passed to Saul.
Ye Chen stepped forward to grab the ball, but Saul returned the ball to Godin.
Godin was not in a hurry and waited for Ye Chen to come up before returning to the goalkeeper.
Ye Chen is in good physical condition, keep pressing!
After the physical fitness was lower than 70% just now, it increased by 10%!
This is the power of talent skills.
He can cheat, but he works harder than you - if Ye Chen succeeds, who will succeed?
Moya directly looked for Griezmann on the left side of the frontcourt.
However, Mane suddenly accelerated and passed the ball to Koke behind him.
Cork immediately approached Wang Chu.
Wang Chu pushed the ball forward and directly looked for Ye Chen with a big kick——
The football flew across most of the field and found Ye Chen in the frontcourt.
Facing the incoming ball, Ye Chen quickly moved forward, passed the ball into the penalty area, and followed up with a blast!
"Bang——"
Football goes directly to the net!
However, at this moment, the referee blew his whistle and pointed at the linesman.
This ball was offside by Ye Chen——
"The ball connects beautifully!"
"But Wang Chu didn't pass the ball immediately this time, and Ye Chen ran a little faster!"
Zhang Lu chuckled, "Actually, in the final analysis, Wang Chu's physical energy consumption was too high and he couldn't hit the ball immediately. I think Emery can consider substituting!"
Zhan Jun nodded in approval, "Sevilla's schedule has been very intensive recently. After playing Atletico Madrid, they have almost no time to rest before going to play Manchester City away from home. This is a huge challenge for Emery's Sevilla."
!”
"But it's good news for fans. After all, there are football games to watch——"
In fact, many players protested that there were too many games and the schedule was too intensive.
But the protest was ineffective.
After all, they are just flags of capital.
You must know that apart from the apparent income from football, the truly terrifying thing is the gambling market behind it.
If football is closed every day, can the gambling company still make money?
Ye Chen on the court gave Wang Chu a thumbs up.
70 minutes.
Sevilla made two substitutions in a row.
Replaced Martial, who had a mediocre performance today, and replaced him with Bernardo Silva.
The second substitution was to replace Krychowiak with Rodri.
Krychowiak also played in the last game, but his physical fitness was a little behind.
As the game progresses, more and more players get cramps.
He kicked and sat on the lawn——
The originally smooth game was constantly paused.
But Sevilla was not in a hurry, but Simeone was jumping up and down.
Don’t forget, the score is still Sevilla’s lead!
When the time came to the 78th minute, Atletico Madrid made another substitution.
Mandzukic, who played injured, was replaced and replaced by Mexican forward Jimenez.
Seeing Atletico Madrid's substitutions, Emery also made the last adjustment, replacing Koke with Diogo Figueras!
80 minutes and 29 seconds.
Moreno throws the ball to Mane.
After playing in seat B, Mane also returned to the left.
After receiving the ball, Mane directly passed the ball long and wide, looking for Ye Chen in the middle.
But Ye Chen was tightly surrounded by two people, and the ball was directly pushed away by Godin who was in front of him.
De Bruyne on the outside also followed up with a long shot——
This shot is of high quality!
But Moya still couldn't stop him!
He slapped it on the ground and hugged it directly——
Without wasting any time, Moya threw the ball directly and found Thiago in the middle.
Atletico Madrid's counterattack begins!
Wang Chu in the middle intercepted the ball immediately, but the football was passed to the feet of Raul Garcia in the frontcourt in advance.
Raul Garcia took the ball with his back and passed it back to Saul.
Saul saw Griezmann beckoning for the ball and went directly into the penalty area——
Griezmann knew that Diogo Figueras was following him, so he wanted to stop and go like Chen Ge did.
But the moment he bounced the ball up with his right foot, Diogo Figueras's foot also arrived——
And he kicked him hard!
"ah--"
A scream.
Griezmann fell to the ground!
This time the referee Munuela did not hesitate and pointed directly to the twelve yard point!
When Ye Chen in the frontcourt saw this scene, he also covered his head——
This foul is completely unnecessary!
Because even if Griezmann turns around, he can't connect.
The most important thing is that it's only 80 minutes now, and you just came on the field and you couldn't wait to score a penalty kick - are you afraid that I will complete the task?
Diogo Figueras complained to the referee, but the complaint was invalid.
The fans at the scene were already excited——
They were silent for more than twenty minutes, and finally saw the dawn of an equalizer.
Raul Garcia holds the football and reaches the twelve yard point!
Although this goal was a penalty kick made by Griezmann, his status in the team is not enough.
After all, Griezmann is not Ye Chen——
The referee cleared both players from the penalty area.
Navas also cheered for himself.
"Beep!"
The referee Munuela blew the whistle to start the game.
After Raul Garcia took a slow approach, his ankle made a fake move to hit the near corner.
But when Navas's center of gravity began to tilt to the left, he suddenly moved his ankle and directly shot into the far corner——
"Bang!"
ps: The combination of virtuality and reality!! You can watch more of Atletico Madrid’s games, they are very interesting (I got caught in the rain, you guys should get wet too)!
