Chapter 334 Bad Omen

Not only Wu Lei is looking forward to the good news of Gao Zheng, but also almost all Chinese fans.

In the game where Barcelona hosted Atletico Madrid, I don’t know how many Chinese fans were waiting in front of the TV all night, hoping to see good news from Gao Zheng.

Although everyone knows that this is Barcelona's home court, and since Gao Zheng joined Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid has not won the ball in this stadium...

At the same time, there are also a series of data to prove that Atletico Madrid's game is in danger.

For example, since Enrique became Barcelona's head coach, the team has maintained a record of winning all the Champions League home games. In all the Champions League matches played in the Camp Nou stadium, they scored a total of 27 goals and conceded only five goals.

"...but not all are bad news. For example, in the history of the Champions League, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have only met twice, which is not too far away from today - the 2013-2014 Champions League was also the quarter-finals. Barcelona drew 1:1 at home in the first leg and lost to Atletico Madrid 0:1 away in the second leg. And after Atletico Madrid eliminated Barcelona that season, they reached the finals in one go..."

He Ping established confidence for Chinese fans in front of the TV and painted a picture of two teams evenly matched.

After the game just started, Atletico Madrid played very well.

In the 12th minute, after Gao Zheng got the ball in the penalty area, he was knocked to the ground by Pique from behind, which attracted Chinese fans and Atletico Madrid fans to shout "penalties".

But German referee Bruch did not make any statement, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simone on the sidelines. If Boggs hadn't grabbed him, he might have rushed up to "super" the fourth official.

"This ball still has physical contact?" He Ping expressed his attitude in a tactful manner through uncertain doubts - of course he hoped that Gao Zheng would fall to the ground and count as a penalty. "But the referee Bruci seems to have a grudge against Atletico Madrid... Last season's Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid's heel shot against Juventus at home, Gao Zheng's heel shot on Cáceres' open hand, without causing a goal. The referee in the law enforcement game was Bruci. At that time, he turned a blind eye to this very obvious handball and did not award Atletico Madrid's penalty... This caused a lot of controversy at the time..."

After He Ping said this, many Chinese fans also remembered it.

In that game, Gao Zheng completed three heel goals in total before finally breaking Buffon's goal. But if it were a normal penalty, Buffon's goal should have been broken long ago.

I didn't expect that the German referee was enforcing the law in that game...

Many superstitious Chinese fans suddenly had bad premonitions.

This ominous premonition was further exacerbated in the 20th minute - Atletico Madrid started the game Carrasco was injured in the game and could not hold on and was replaced by Augusto Fernandez.

He was forced to use a substitution quota just twenty minutes into the game, which made many Atletico Madrid fans sank.

Diego Simone on the sidelines also looked solemn.

Everyone smelled the unusual and dangerous smell in the air.

This worry finally became a reality in the 26th minute - in the 26th minute, Alva made a straight pass in the frontcourt ribs, and Suarez quickly inserted and ran behind the Atletico Madrid defender. Facing the passing ball, he did not stop the ball and adjust, but directly shot with an unconventional shovel!

The football sneaked into the goal from halfway goalkeeper Oblak!

"Suarez!! He is in great shape! He sets a record for Barcelona!!" The Catalan narrator shouted excitedly.

What echoed the entire Camp Nou was the cheers of Barcelona fans.

Recently, life has been too depressing for them.

The first place in the league was lost, and the National Derby lost at home.

This anger is now venting in this Champions League quarter-finals.

"...Suarez jumped a little before the shovel. He seemed to know where the football landing point would be. His grasp of the landing point was really accurate..." Even He Ping had to admire that Suarez could be said to be the top scorer in the world at present. He did not need to be fancy, nor did he have to travel long distances. His footwork skills were very simple, but they were very practical. He did almost perfectly a shooter's basic skills.

As long as you give him a chance in front of the goal, he will be able to seize such a shooter.

This is how the ball is. A sudden forward shot appeared behind the Atletico Madrid defender like a ghost. Then, relying on the accurate judgment of the football landing point, he made a shooting move in advance. Even if the movement is not standardized, it did not prevent him from shooting the football into the Atletico Madrid goal...

Such a person can score thirty-one league goals in one season in the Premier League, which is definitely not a fictional reputation.

He Ping had nothing to say about the goal, and the Chinese fans in front of the TV were also deeply frustrated.

※※※

Atletico Madrid did not have any chance at all. In the 35th minute of the first half, Atletico Madrid made a wonderful quick counterattack.

When his teammates crossed the football forty-five degrees, Gao Zheng, who was running in front, made a catch move. After taking away a Barcelona defensive player, he shrank his neck and leaked the football away.

Griezmann, who followed up in the middle, gave a great opportunity.

But Griezmann's cushion shot in the middle was high, and the football flew directly from the top of the crossbar out of the baseline...

This was Atletico Madrid's best shooting opportunity in the first half.

Then Gao Zheng turned around on the edge of the penalty area and shot was blocked by the defender. Then Saul's supplementary shot missed the left post.

Until the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid failed to win the score.

However, Griezmann knocked down Messi during a return to defense, which attracted boos.

Amid the booing, referee Bruch presented a yellow card to the French striker.

This yellow card aroused Simeone's dissatisfaction - he was still worried about the incident where Gao Zheng was knocked into the penalty area by Pique, and he thought he deserved a penalty kick. As a result, the referee did not give it to him.

Now, like Pique, Griezmann knocked Messi down from behind, and ended up tying a foul by Griezmann and giving him a yellow card...

Boggs really worked hard to control the impulsive Simeone.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, Simeone turned around and shook everyone away, walked into the player's passage first, and walked towards the locker room.

After returning to the locker room and waiting for all Atletico Madrid players to come back, Simeone did not criticize the team's performance in the first half, but instead praised their performance: "You guys played well! The goal was just that we were not lucky, don't take it to heart! We also created some opportunities in the first half... continue to play like this in the second half and maintain pressure on them!"

Simeone did not make any tactical adjustments, and he was very confident in his tactics.

After all, I have played so many games with Barcelona in Spain, but I am actually very familiar with each other.

There is no secret to both sides, and there is no mystery. In order to compete for the league championship, Simeone has studied Barcelona a lot. These research results are also useful in the Champions League.
