Chapter 171

At the end of the game, the Atlético Madrid players on the field and the Atlético Madrid players on the bench celebrated the victory on the field.

The first game of the semi-finals was 3-0. This score is wonderful.

The Atlético de Madrid fans at the scene felt overwhelmed. They seemed to see the scene of entering the Champions League final after a lapse of 40 years.That would be wonderful.

Fans can be crazy, but the coach can't.After Simeone shook hands with Mourinho and said a few words, Simeone hurried back to the locker room. In the next game against Valencia, he still needs to think carefully about the start of that game.

The league between the two semi-finals will definitely have to be rotated, and no one will be a substitute in the Champions League semi-finals. After all, there is no weak team in the semi-finals.If you underestimate the opponent, it will not be worth the loss, so in the second round of the game Simeone must be the main force, so the middle league against Valencia can only give way to the Champions League up.

Now Atletico Madrid has 3 points more than Barcelona, ​​and the two teams still have a game in the last round of the league.

And whether this game can determine the ownership of the championship actually depends on how the previous few league games have been played. As long as these few league games are won, and if Barcelona makes a slight mistake, Atletico Madrid will be able to advance. Win the La Liga championship in one round, but if there is any mistake on Atletico Madrid's side, and if Barcelona wins all, then the last game will be a decisive victory.

In short, for Simeone, rotation is a must for this Valencia game, but it must also be won.

On the roster for this game, there are only two players who started the previous game, one is Costa and the other is Wang Yu. Simeone is just in case.If you can't start the game or fall behind, replace Wang Yu, you can have a breakthrough in speed, and if you replace Costa, you can have an impact on the opponent's penalty area.

So Simeone chose these two to sit on the bench.

Wang Yu didn't feel uncomfortable sitting on the bench, so he just watched the game from close range.

Costa felt a little strange, mainly because he had a sense of competition with Wang Yu. It was a little strange sitting next to Wang Yu now, but this feeling disappeared once the game started.

After Valencia knew that Atletico Madrid was in rotation in this game, they played very motivated, and they wanted to break through and shoot from the start.

Trying to catch Atletico Madrid by surprise, but Atletico Madrid is a team known for its defense after all. There is no rush or panic. The substitute players in the backcourt also take the ball and pass it calmly.

The rhythm was controlled by Atletico Madrid.

The head coach of Valencia on the sidelines has been making pressing gestures. Simeone saw it and didn't show any expression on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart. Simeone was afraid that he would not press.

After the pressure, it is just good for Atletico Madrid to fight back.

After the Valencia players tried twice, they finally pressed on. The midfield moved forward as a whole, and the distance between the backcourt and the midfield was slightly larger.

The striker went to grab the ball from the defender. Jimenez calmly took the ball and gave it to Alderweireld on the wing. After Alderweireld got the ball, he passed it directly to Turan on the left.

Turan was anxious to prove that he was still the main force and that his strength had not declined, so after taking the ball and facing the defending full-back, Turan wanted to pass the opponent with a single ball, but Valencia's side The defender was very focused and directly blocked Turan's ball, but the ball was also kicked to the midfield, and then Thiago got the ball. Valencia's midfielder took the ball, and then he found the opportunity to pass a ball over the top to Rodriguez who went forward. Rodriguez stopped in the chest, then easily unloaded the ball with his foot, and then a left foot Inward, it cuts directly inward.

At this time, Valencia's central defender rushed out, ready to grab the ball. Rodriguez saw that the opportunity was too good and passed the ball to Raul Garcia in the middle, and then he inserted himself into the penalty area. The substitute lineup actually does not have a center forward. They are playing without a striker, which is somewhat similar to the Spanish team. Rodriguez is the top player. Therefore, it is easy for the opponent to defend him. Because Rodriguez seems to have only one point, Valencia's defensive players also put too much defensive attention on him, while ignoring Raul Garcia who inserted in the back, Garcia has Strong offensive ability, can play as a front midfielder, and has also played as a shadow forward and a second forward in a double forward. His shooting skills are also trustworthy.

So ignoring Raúl Garcia was definitely the biggest mistake Valencia made today.

Valencia was also doomed to pay for the mistake.

Because Raúl García found a gap, made a decisive cooperation with Rodriguez in the penalty area, passed the ball to Rodriguez, and the Valencia defender saw that Rodriguez had the ball. Afterwards, he even thought that Atletico Madrid had only one offensive point, but Rodriguez did not turn around after getting the ball, but directly gave the ball to Raul Garcia who was plugging in.

Garcia greeted the ball and shot angrily.

The ball was very fast and flew into the upper right corner of the goal with an external spin.

1 to 0, 10 minutes into the first half, Atletico Madrid scored.

This game seems to be a very easy thing to win.Simeone on the sidelines also looked very happy.He thought that this game should be won without using Wang Yu and Costa.

Good idea.Atletico Madrid teammates on the field are also working hard.

In the 41st minute of the first half, Jimenez scored with a header.

It was a corner kick, and Jimenez also came into the penalty area. Since he was a young player, no one was marking him at all, which happened to make him miss it.After Thiago's pass was rubbed by Rodriguez, it happened to land on Jimenez's head. Although Jimenez's shooting skills were average, he still did it very quickly with a head shake.

After the goal, Jimenez was very excited and didn't know how to celebrate. He ran all the way to the bench. At this time, Wang Yu, who was standing watching the game, was pointed at by Jimenez.

He ran over and hugged Wang Yu. Seeing how excited he was, Wang Yu shouted loudly, "Niu 13."

The first half of the game ended like this. Atletico Madrid naturally went back to the locker room happily, while the Valencia team walked into the locker room dejectedly.
