Chapter 178 No suspense anymore

"There is a historical data that may be more beneficial to Atletico Madrid, that is, since they were home against St. Petersburg Zenit in September 2013, they have not conceded the second half of the Champions League home game..."

When Jose Maria said this, the second half had already begun.

Leverkusen made a substitution just at the beginning of the second half. Schmidt replaced center Del Mickey with Kisling, hoping to strengthen the team's offensive ability and strive to get a goal back in the second half.

So far, Leverkusen is not on the edge of the cliff, and his destiny is still in his own hands. Because they only need one goal to turn the situation around.

After Kislin came on the court, he did pose some threats to Atletico Madrid's defense, causing Atletico Madrid left-back Games to receive a yellow card on him.

This has made many Leverkusen fans see hope.

The Korean fans in front of the TV are also cheering for Son Heung-min.

It seems that after the adjustment of the intermission, Leverkusen's momentum is about to rise.

However, Gao Zheng then made a forced breakthrough in the frontcourt, causing Leverkusen's central defender Toprak to block the foul, and Toprak also received a yellow card for his foul.

There were people on both sides' defenses who received yellow cards, but the meaning of central defenders and full-backs was completely different.

The defensive pressure of the centre-back is much greater than that of the full-back.

※※※

After a while of an offense and defense, the score was still 2:0, and Atletico Madrid was leading at home.

Atletico Madrid also led 2:1 in the total score.

If the score remains in the midfield, Atletico Madrid can eliminate Leverkusen, but at the same time, if Leverkusen scores a goal, Leverkusen will squeeze out Atletico Madrid by the advantage of away goals.

So both sides need to score goals, and they cannot be conservative.

The scene is still very intense.

For example, Leverkusen's midfielder Cialhanoglu tackled Atletico Madrid's full-back Games and received a yellow card.

In the 64th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid full-back Juan Fran dribbled the ball to the near-bottom line, and then passed the ball back with a downward triangle.

Gao Zheng rushed into the penalty area, received a pass from Juan Fran, and swung his left foot to shoot.

The players in front of him all rushed up to block his shot, but just as they were about to hit the football, Gao Zheng's ankle suddenly turned the shot into a cutting ball.

The football was cut out by him and did not fly to the goal, but flew straight to the back of the goal!

It's not a shot, it's a pass!

Griezmann, who was ambushing at the back point, rushed out, and a fish jumped to the top!

Leverkusen's goalkeeper Leno and the defenders all focused on Gao Zheng. When he swung his foot, they thought he must be shooting, so they were not prepared for Griezmann's top rush.

Leno turned around and rushed back after seeing Gao Zheng's pass, but it was too late. Although he kicked out hard when Griezmann rushed to the top, he still failed to touch the football.

"Griezmann!!!woooooooooooooow!!!3:0! Atletico Madrid led Leverkusen three goals at home!! The total score was 3:1! They are getting closer and closer to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!" Jose Maria tried her best to lift the voice amid the huge cheers of Calderon Stadium.

After scoring the goal, Griezmann ran towards the corner flag area and turned around and hooked up at Gao Zheng, signaling him to come up and celebrate with him.

He wanted to thank Gao Zheng for this goal. In fact, just before Gao Zheng passed the ball, he didn't expect Gao Zheng to pass the ball, so he finally chose the way to jump to the top, because he didn't have time to run a step forward, so he could only jump to the top on the spot.

This shot is a bit difficult, but fortunately the final result is good.

He patted his forehead and smiled happily at Gao Zheng who was running, and then Gao Zheng hugged him into his arms.

The two then hugged each other and ran to the south stand of the Calderon Stadium, where excited Atletico Madrid fans were waiting for their heroes.

When leading the total score 2:1, many people were still worried, fearing that Leverkusen would win a goal, otherwise Atletico Madrid would be eliminated due to his away goal disadvantage.

But now they are not worried. Even if Leverkusen scores a goal, Atletico Madrid will still lead 3:2 in the total score. Under different points, away goals will not play any role.

And this ball is like a bolt from the blue for Leverkusen fans.

When they were determined to counterattack, they were welcomed with another goal. The Leverkusen fans who came with the team all held their heads with their hands and looked at the stadium in dismay, their eyes were dull and without focus.

Leverkusen's players were also very frustrated. They finally had a strong fighting spirit during the break and wanted to win a victory against Atletico Madrid in the second half.

I didn't expect that I would still concede the goal in the second half...

Son Heung-min stood in the middle circle with his hands on his hips, waiting for the kickoff, and he seemed very painful and helpless.

He is just a forward, not a defender, so the role he can play in defense is really limited.

The only way he can help the team is to score goals.

But until now he has not been able to score even a goal.

Before the end of the first half, he had already realized the desire to fight Atletico Madrid. As a result, his fighting spirit and enthusiasm were useless in the second half, and the team was already behind three goals...

How else can I play this game?

He looked at Gao Zheng, a little desperate.

Although this goal was not scored by Gao Zheng, it was precisely because Gao Zheng attracted Leverkusen's defensive attention and then passed the football cleverly to Griezmann that the goal was created.

This is the core role of the offensive.

※※※

When Atletico Madrid players finished their celebrations and ran back to their half, their head coach Diego Simeone was constantly gestured to them, indicating that they should not be satisfied with the score, and to continue their efforts and strive to score more goals.

When the Korean narrator and the commentator saw this scene, they were silent.

Because just before, they were cheering up the Korean fans in front of the TV, saying that Atletico Madrid will definitely relax after leading two goals. At this time, it will be an opportunity for Leverkusen and Son Heung-min. As long as the whole team does not give up, there will still be hope of eliminating Atletico Madrid.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw this scene. Simeone pointed his hands at his temple, asking the teams to remain calm after leading the lead and not take it lightly because of the total score of two goals.

Then he kept making gestures to keep the team attacking and strive to score more goals.

Leverkusen still expects to fight back?

From this point of view, hope is slim...

And so far, Gao Zheng has scored two goals and one assist in the game. What about Son Heung-min? He has no performance.

The best chance is the one-on-one that injured Moya before the start of the first half, but Son Heung-min didn't receive the ball at that time...

Although the game has not ended yet, the competition between the two seems to have already achieved a result.

It's like a 100-meter race.

When Gao Zheng had already run ninety meters, Sun Xingmin had only run thirty meters.

Of course you can say that the game is not over yet, and there may be an accident in the last ten meters, such as Gao Zheng suddenly lost his balance and fell in front of the finish line, and then let Son Heung-min reverse and overtake.

But the probability of this is really too low, and there is only theoretical possibility.
Chapter completed!
