Chapter 93
Football is like life!
The most direct and simple way of communication.
It often brings about the most profound and fruitful results.
Atletico Madrid's football is the perfect interpretation of this philosophy.
Their game is like a poem without fancy words but full of power!
Simeone, the tough coach, is known for his straightforwardness and determination.
His style is imprinted on every Atletico player.
This style, just like Atletico Madrid's game, is direct, effective, and full of desire for victory!
From Su Chen's breakthrough from the wing,
Diego Costa's violent grab; to four consecutive alley-oops, and finally Su Chen's wonderful shot in the penalty area.
Every goal is a perfect demonstration of Atletico Madrid's football philosophy.
There are no complicated tactics, no cumbersome coordination, just the most direct and simple way to score goals.
This also made Luo Ming, who was broadcasting live in the stands, deeply appreciate the charm of Spanish football.
"When it comes to La Liga, we are often obsessed with Barcelona’s titika"
"However, Atletico displayed a completely different style!"
"Compared to Barcelona, Atletico Madrid's football style is more direct and more to the point!"
"I saw someone in the live broadcast room asking, is Atletico Madrid replicating Real Madrid's 433 formation?"
"Maybe, but in my opinion, Atletico Madrid's 433 is more efficient than Real Madrid!"
"Real Madrid's efficiency is more reflected in defensive counterattacks"
"Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, demonstrated their simple and crude football philosophy no matter in defensive counterattacks or positional battles!"
"Perhaps you can say that Atletico Madrid's style of play is not as refined as Barcelona's and is as exquisite as an embroidery needle."
"But it cannot be denied that with such a simple and crude football philosophy, Atletico Madrid can always score goals and they can always win the game!"
"It is indeed a kind of beauty to embroider exquisite patterns with embroidery needles."
"But using a sledgehammer to carve a path on a mountain road full of thorns is a unique act of heroism, isn't it?"
"Audience friends, I don’t know the football philosophy of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Which one do you prefer?"
In the 56th minute of the second half,
Simeone replaced starting center Diego Costa with Torres.
This time the two people handing over off the court seemed particularly friendly.
They not only high-fived each other, but also hugged each other.
Costa even said something to Torres Words of blessing:
"Go out there and score goals and kill the game with your anti-offside tactics."
Torres came on the field with this kind of mission.
Seeing Torres who was good at"dancing" on the offside line,
Su Chen decisively changed the team's tactics.
The tactics of hitting headers from wide passes Reduced.
Su Chen came to the midfielder position more and sent Torres a through ball.
In the 61st and 63rd minutes of the second half,
Su Chen sent two exquisite through balls in a row!
But Torres missed them by a hair. It was ruled offside.
However, Huangtian paid off.
Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
In the 67th minute of the second half,
Torres' moment finally arrived.
This time, it was Su Chen who retreated to the attacking midfielder position to deliver a goal Accurate short pass.
The two matched up perfectly with Torres in rhythm.
Su Chen relied on his extremely fast pace to pass the opponent's midfielder (cfbh) Reuven laterally. He deliberately looked up at Torres' position and yelled One sound:
"Torres!"
Raised his left foot and pretended to send a through ball.
Torres has twice successfully put his opponent into an offside trap.
Cadiz's defense is ready to do it again.
Seeing that Su Chen is about to pass the ball, the two central defenders Victor and Farley cooperate With a tacit understanding, they immediately pressed forward to cause offside.
At this time,
Torres had fallen into the opponent's offside trap!
As long as Su Chen passed the ball to Torres, it was definitely an offside kick.
But just when Su Chen's left foot was about to touch the ball,
He suddenly stopped - he stepped on the ground and stopped!
The two central defenders, Victor and Farley, still rushed forward due to inertia.
"Um? He didn't pass it?"
Victor's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately observed Torres' movement.
It didn't matter if he turned around, Victor was startled!
Torres, who was originally in the offside position, had moved laterally and was parallel to himself!
Victor immediately reacted:"This It’s time to engage in anti-offside tactics!"
But before he had time to communicate with his partner about the next move,
Su Chen's through ball had already come out with a"pop" sound.
"Oops!"
Victor quickly chased back.
The ball was not offside!
At the moment of passing the ball,
Torres stood level with the opponent's back line!
When the football passed between the two central defenders of Gardes,
Torres started instantly and synchronized with the pass! (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Although Torres, the former golden boy at 34, has lost his speed advantage.
He cannot rely on sheer speed to crush his opponents like he did when he was young.
But there is a saying that goes well on the football field. :
"If the speed is not enough, make up for it by changing the rhythm."
Although Torres's speed is not as fast as Victor and Farley.
But because he grasped the timing of the start better, when he led the ball into the penalty area, he had already left the defensive player more than two meters behind!
Torres scored a single goal!
Declaration Atletico Madrid expanded the score to 3:0!
Torres burst into tears after the goal!
He rushed to the fans' stands and kissed the team logo on his chest crazily.
This game is likely to be his farewell performance at Atletico Madrid's home court.
From the Calderon Stadium to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, the name of Atletico Madrid's home court is changing.
But Torres' emotions on this green field remain the same. For
Torres,
Atletico Madrid is the place where his dream started.
This is the harbor where he has returned to his roots.
If nothing happens, he will probably hang up his boots and retire after this season.
Thinking of saying goodbye to his 18-year playing career,
Reis cannot calm down.
"thank you all! thank you all!"
He shouted loudly in the direction of the fans.
Luo Ming in the stands was also moved by the scene.
"This is very likely to be the last goal he scores for Atletico Madrid!"
"The former Atletico Madrid golden boy is now 34, but he still sheds hot tears in front of the cheering fans!"
"Why is Torres so emotional? Maybe it’s because I love this grass so much!"
"I got the news before the game."
Torres is likely to retire after finishing this season and serve as an assistant coach in Atletico Madrid's ninth tier."
This is the last time in Torres' career to face the fans at Atletico Madrid's home court!"
"In the next game, Atletico Madrid will challenge Barcelona away"
"It is still unclear whether Torres, who is a substitute, will get a chance to play."
"The goal just now was probably the last goal he scored in a professional arena wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey!"
"It might even be his last game for Atletico Madrid"
"From 2:0 to 3:0, although it was just an icing on the cake goal"
"But this does not prevent Atletico Madrid fans from remembering him forever!"
"From leaving the team in 2007 to returning in 2016, in the past ten years, Torres still maintained the image of a handsome young man with flowing blond hair in the hearts of fans!"
"Let us give our warmest applause to this striker who has made great achievements in the Spanish golden generation national team!"
"Many years later, when we look back on the past and talk about the experience of watching football with our children and grandchildren,"
"Will we still remember the Spanish boy with flowing blond hair and a smile on his face - Fernando Torres?"
Luo Ming made this impromptu speech without any preparation in advance!
But with his many years of experience in football and his deep emotional background, his words deeply touched the hearts of countless Longguo netizens on the other side of the live broadcast room. Heartstrings!
"Torres is my favorite Spanish player, I love to see him tie up his long hair with a headband!"
"The headband can tie up his long hair, but it can't tie up his running heart on the court!"
"Oh my god, Torres is retiring too! The Spanish Golden National Team has almost retreated, right?"
"Villa, Iniesta, Xavi, Casillas, these players will eventually leave us.……"
"Torres' career has also been ups and downs, with highlight moments at Atletico Madrid and Liverpool.
"Chelsea was his nightmare. Fortunately, after returning to Atletico Madrid, we finally saw the smile on his face again."
"Toge! I love Torres the most. When we were young, we all called Torres and Toniu.~"
"When I was in high school, many girls in my class liked Torres. Not only was he good at football, he was also handsome, and he was also the idol of many boys."
"If I remember correctly, Torres has never won a top league title in his career, right?"
"No! Torres has the World Cup, the European Cup, the Champions League and the Europa League, but has never won a league championship in the five major leagues!"
"Torres' only league championship was when he won the La Liga Championship with Atletico Madrid in the 2000-01 season, and then the team was promoted to La Liga in the second year."
"So this is ah! For a big-time player like him,"
It would be a shame if there is no league championship until retirement!""
"It doesn't matter, after winning this game, Atletico Madrid is still only one point behind Barcelona"
"Next week at Camp Nou, give Barcelona a good beating!"
"Use a league championship to bring a perfect end to Torres' career!".
