Chapter 175 The turning point of the game?

Because he lost the game in the first leg, Atletico Madrid, who returned to his home court, fought fiercely at the beginning of the game.

Leverkusen also seems to have expected Atletico Madrid to play like this, and responded with a tough response.

The battle between the two sides is so fierce that it is difficult for them to pass the football a few times in a row, and they will be cut off soon or make mistakes.

Such a competition is naturally not good-looking or exciting.

However, for those who are following this game, it doesn't matter at all whether the game looks good or not.

What matters is who can finally reach the quarterfinals.

Even Chinese fans have this idea. They hope that Atletico Madrid can eliminate Leverkusen and reach the quarterfinals. In this way, they can continue to have hope in the Champions League this season. Otherwise, many people may not watch the Champions League.

On the other hand, the reason they support Atletico Madrid is that they do not want to see the arrogant faces of South Korean media and Korean netizens after Leverkusen eliminated Atletico Madrid.

Before the game, South Korean media hyped Son Heung-min's revenge battle in high-profile manner. How could this news be hidden from Chinese fans?

Although China's Internet has walls, it is not difficult to access the Internet scientifically now. News outside the wall is easy to spread to China. Everyone has long known how the Korean media reported on this game.

The thought of what the Koreans would have if Atletico Madrid was eliminated makes Chinese fans disgusted.

So in order not to let the Koreans succeed, they all support Atletico Madrid.

※※※

Atletico Madrid played fiercely at home, but the visiting team Leverkusen was the first to threaten.

In the 20th minute, Leverkusen's midfielder Lars Bend made a straight pass, and Son Heung-min suddenly stepped forward and entered the penalty area to catch the ball!

At this moment, many Atletico Madrid fans and Chinese fans were in their throats. This was a one-on-one!!

Fortunately, Son Heung-min's forward insertion was a little late. Although he tried to stretch his legs as much as possible, he still couldn't get to the football.

The ball passed by his toes and was bent over by Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Moya.

The crisis is lifted!

A huge sound of breath sounded in the stands.

But the next scene made Atletico Madrid fans nervous again.

Because Moya, who saved the football, did not get up immediately, but pressed the back muscles of his thigh with one hand...

The Leverkusen fans who came with the team booed, thinking that Moya was deliberately delaying time.

But they didn't think about it. Atletico Madrid is behind. Why do they have to delay time?

"Moya seems to be strained. If it is strained, she may not be able to hold on to this game..." He Ping's words made the Chinese fans in front of the TV feel heartbroken.

When Atletico Madrid needed a Jedi counterattack, their goalkeeper suffered an injury, which really made people feel very discouraged.

On the bench at Atletico Madrid, assistant coach Boggs had already asked substitute goalkeeper Oblak to warm up, but the time left for him to warm up was not enough.

During the game, some substitutes are often allowed to warm up and keep their body warm. However, they rarely warm up in the first twenty minutes of the game.

Oblak hurried to warm up.

Behind him was Diego Simeone with a frown.

The team lost the game in the first round, and the main goalkeeper was injured just as the second round, and the situation became quite serious.

※※※

"Moya is injured! This is good news for Leverkusen! This injury is an accident and will definitely make Atletico Madrid's own position messed up! Leverkusen mainly seizes this opportunity and constantly attacks Atletico Madrid's defense line. He will definitely find a chance to score!" The Korean commentator said excitedly. "And this is what Son Heung-min is best at!"

In front of the TV and on the Internet, Korean fans reflected their national emotions to Son Heung-min, hoping that he could use his own goals to teach the arrogant and arrogant Chinese a lesson.

After losing to the Chinese team in the Asian Cup, Korean fans and media were both frustrated. In the face of results, everything seemed pale and powerless.

They desperately hope for a chance to be proud.

Because they knew before the Asian Cup, Leverkusen would meet Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, so after the Asian Cup defeat, almost the entire country was waiting for this game.

Unexpectedly, the encounter between Son Heung-min and Gao Zheng was arranged in the second round. Leverkusen's victory in the first round had nothing to do with Son Heung-min.

They were very upset at the time.

But now I think about it, perhaps all of this is God's arrangement. What should I do if Son Heung-min's revenge battle is more revengeful than kicking Gao Zheng out of the Champions League?

※※※

In the end, Moya was unable to hold on to the game and was replaced by substitute goalkeeper Oblak.

"Poor Moya!" said Jose Maria. "Because of this strain, he became the first player in Champions League history to be replaced twice twenty-five minutes before the game 2010 when he was replaced in the 23rd minute... I wish him good luck and hope the injury is not very serious..."

When Oblak came on the court, applause rang out at Calderon Stadium. Atletico Madrid fans used this method to encourage Oblak, although each of them had a frown expression on their faces. They were still worried in their hearts whether the sudden injury of goalkeeper Moya would bring bad luck to the team.

This season, Moya has always been the team's main goalkeeper, and his condition and experience are better than Aubrac, who plays as a substitute.

Oblak is still on the court in a hurry. What can he perform? How is his condition?

Everyone was unsure.

Television also gave Oblak a long close-up.

Professional institutions also think that Oblak may be the key figure in this game. After he comes on as a substitute, if he performs well, he can bring confidence to his teammates. If he performs poorly, it may be a collapse...

But when the game started again, Oblake had no chance to perform, but Gao Zheng attracted everyone's attention.

In the 26th minute, when Gao Zheng was taking the ball on the side, facing Spasic's defense, he made a fake move to pretend to pass the ball to his teammate in the middle, tricking Spasic into deflecting the center of gravity. Gao Zheng himself seized this opportunity and knocked the football behind him with his heel. The football passed between Spasic's legs, and Gao Zheng quickly turned around to chase the ball.

This was a very beautiful person. There were warm cheers from Calderon Stadium to cheer for Gao Zheng.

However, Gao Zheng did not complete this beautiful appearance, because Spałīch then turned around and tackled him down.

"Spasic will pay for his foul!" Jose Maria shouted, "This is a tackle from the back, and according to the rules, this foul will definitely be played!"

Before he finished speaking, the referee ran to Spasic with a yellow card.

"Oh no! Spašic received a yellow card. In this way, even if Leverkusen can reach the quarterfinals, he will miss the Champions League!" The German commentator said disappointed. "Spašic is completely unnecessary for this foul. If you turn around and shovel like this, you will definitely not be able to shovel the ball... But it is also possible that Spašic lost his mind by the cheers of Calderon Stadium..."

After Spasic's foul, Atletico Madrid's fans and players were very dissatisfied. Although the referee gave a yellow card, they could not calm their anger.

Because this is not the first time Leverkusen has made a foul in this game. Facing the home game and the aggressive offensive Atletico Madrid, Leverkusen, who is only one goal ahead, can only continue to use fouls to stop Atletico Madrid's offensive.

The players who had previously fouled Leverkusen did not get the cards. Until now, Leverkusen received the first yellow card in this game.

This made Atletico Madrid very dissatisfied, and they believed that the referee should protect their players at their home court.

Spašic is also very depressed because of this yellow card, he will miss the next Champions League game if Leverkusen has the next one.

He complained to the referee that he did not commit a foul on purpose, and that Gao Zheng was pretending to fall.

But the referee didn't listen to him and waved his hand to drive him away.

Spasage, who ran back, kept shaking his head and explained to his teammates: "I have no choice but to let him go if I don't foul, so that would be even more threatening..."

The teammates patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to take it too seriously, and at the same time expressed their respect for his sacrifice of protecting the team's interests.

Leverkusen's goalkeeper Leno also gave him a thumbs up: "Don't worry, we'll be waiting for you in the second leg of the quarterfinals!"

Teammates made Spałachic feel a little warm, and decided to throw the yellow card at his suspension behind him, and play the game without distractions to ensure that the team can advance to the quarterfinals.

Atletico Madrid won a free kick from the wing because of Spasic's foul. Atletico Madrid's central defenders Miranda and Jimenez both came to Leverkusen's goal and prepared to compete for the top.

After everything was ready, the referee blew the whistle and signaled that Atletico Madrid could play football.

Cork kicked the football in front of the goal.

Miranda rushed forward and jumped high to compete for the top!

He pushed the ball, but did not throw the ball towards the goal, but rubbed it behind him.

At the back point, Gao Zheng, who was originally on the penalty area line, suddenly stepped forward and appeared at the landing point of the football!

"Gao Zheng!!" He Ping shouted excitedly.

Gao Zheng, who was running to the position, did not stop the ball, but directly swung his left foot and shot in half a volley!

Ten meters away from the goal, he drew the football firmly.

Although Leverkusen's central defender Toprak stretched his foot to block it, he still failed to touch the ball.

Goalkeeper Leno was also shook by Toprak's kick and did not save it immediately. When he saw the football flew over, it was too late.

The football flew into Leverkusen's goal!

Atletico Madrid equalized the total score in the 27th minute!

Is Moya's accidental injury a turning point in this game?

Now it seems, maybe it is.
Chapter completed!
