A few days later, the La Liga battle resumed. In the second round, Atletico Madrid challenged Deportivo La Coruna away. The game started at 10 pm. Li Ming was even a little drowsy. He was very upset that he did not listen to Ortega and had a good sleep in the afternoon!
Atletico Madrid used the 4-4-2 lineup in the previous game, and Li Ming continued to start! At right back, Molinero replaced Velasco:
Goalkeeper: Li Ming
Defenders: Lopez, Pablo, Perea, Molinero
Midfielders: Petrov, Lucin, Maxi, Galletti
Forwards: Torres, Kezman
La Coruna's Riazor Stadium is not big, but the fans on the scene are bustling and enthusiastic in the stadium that can accommodate more than 30,000 spectators.
When the DJ introduced the starting lineup of La Coruna, the whole stadium cheered, especially when the core player No. 21, Juan Valeron, known as the Spanish Zidane, was introduced, the fans cheered loudly, shouting their favorite.
Li Ming stood in front of the goal line, unable to lift his spirits, yawning one after another, if it weren't for the shouting of La Coruna fans, he would have almost fallen asleep.
He jumped and squatted in front of the goal, fearing that his body would cool down and lose his condition. Li Ming took a look and found that La Coruna is really different from the past. Although the team of the post-Super La Coruna era is barely still there, "the prime years will never come again, and the day will never come again."
Deportivo La Coruna played the popular 4-2-3-1 formation:
Goalkeeper: Molina
Defenders: Capdevila, Andrade, Coloccini, Scaloni
Defensive midfielder: Duscher, Sergio
Forward: Munitis, Belleron, Victor
Center forward: Tristan
The game started as soon as the referee blew the whistle. After the opening, Atletico Madrid took the initiative and pressed La Coruna repeatedly. Within 5 minutes of the opening, Li Ming had no work in the penalty area, and even Pablo and Perea pressed to the center circle.
But La Coruna's defense line was also quite stable. At this moment, Maxi sent a straight pass to Torres, and the "little lion king" Coloccini rushed to clear the ball and kicked it to the center circle. Although Belleron was not as good as before, his skills were still strong. He stopped the ball with his back against Lucin's chest, and before the ball landed, it was a long pass!
At this time, Li Ming was near the penalty area. When he saw Belleron's volley, it was not a long pass, but a lob to his own goal! Li Ming's heart tightened and he quickly ran to the goal. His jumping value was too low. If he didn't move more towards the goal, he would be the background of the top five goals of the year.
Belleron saw that Li Ming was standing quite forward in his own half. When would he not lob the ball? This ball was 70 meters away from Atletico's goal, with a beautiful arc, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, with precise guidance!
But fortunately, Li Ming's reaction speed was extremely fast. When the ball fell towards the goal, Li Ming used his fists to lift the ball over the crossbar!
The home fans felt sorry for a while and gave Belleron warm applause!
Thanks to Belleron's lob, Laco was able to breathe a sigh of relief!
Corner kick! Belleron kicked an inward arc, Tristan jumped up to compete for the header, but he was no match for Pablo! Pablo directly passed the ball to Lopez in the air.
The latter rushed along the left side and came to the side of the La Coruna penalty area. Scaloni, who was in position, made a tackle, but Lopez pushed the ball outward and was knocked to the ground!
The referee blew the whistle, Scaloni was given a yellow card, and Atletico won a free kick on the left side of the penalty area!
Atletico coach Bianchi gestured his tactics on the sidelines and kept shouting to the two central defenders: "Press forward! Far post!"
Petrov took a free kick, Pablo and Perea jumped up at the same time to compete for the header! Andrade and Kolonić of La Coruna were busy staring at the high point of Atletico! But there was a flash of gold in the small penalty area, Torres pressed Duscher, and before the ball reached the far post, he headed the ball hard!
Torres jumped so high that Duscher was pressed down by him as if he was a mountain!
Torres' header was fast and flat. La Coruna's old goalkeeper Molina could not react in time and watched the ball go into the net!
1-0, Atletico Madrid leads away from home!
Atletico Madrid players huddled together, and Li Ming also shouted: "It's Torres! He is so stable!"
La Coruna coach Caparros looked livid, called Belleron to the sidelines, and gave him a few instructions, as if to make some tactical arrangements on the field.
After the restart, Munitis and Victor, who were originally on the sideline of La Coruna, were more centered, while the positions of the two full-backs Capdevila and Scaloni were raised.
However, La Coruna's Scaloni started to face Lopez, and after several attempts to break through, he did not get a bigger advantage. The two of them mostly fought on the sidelines, but there were not many actual breakthroughs.
Instead,On the other side, Capdevila repeatedly trained Atletico's young right back Molinero, and suddenly he was very successful. However, after the cross, Tristan, who was at the front, was firmly controlled by Pablo, and almost did not pose any threat to the goal guarded by Li Ming.
People on and off the field actually saw clearly that Tristan had degenerated too fast. He used to be the top scorer in the Super Laco era, but now it was a question whether he could be qualified for the starting lineup in La Liga.
Pablo controlled the first point from in front of Christian and passed it to the defensive midfielder Lucin.
But Belleron was still unwilling to admit defeat. While Lucin was observing, he cleverly rushed up, intercepted the ball, and carried Lucin all the way to the Atletico penalty area. Tristan came out to receive the ball at this time, holding Belleron's pass with his back against Pablo.
After another pass, the ball returned to Belleron's feet. After a two-on-one, Belleron left Pablo and Lucin behind. Perea rushed back from the right and made a diagonal tackle. Belleron lifted the ball slightly upwards and avoided the defense. Now he faced Li Ming!
Li Ming now has a speed of 10, and he is not so weak. He rushed forward to block. Belleron adjusted his pace and was about to shoot the far corner with the inside of his foot, but saw that Li Ming's center of gravity had already deviated to the direction he wanted to shoot!
Belleron thought, can Atletico's goalkeeper understand my thoughts? Or am I too old and my movements have slowed down?
Belleron took a big step and started the ball at high speed again, thinking that he would shoot after shaking off the goalkeeper and having space! Unexpectedly, Lopez on the left of Atletico had quickly returned to the middle, so Belleron could only force a curve and hit the far corner.
Li Ming quickly fell to the ground and dove sideways, intercepted the ball with his left hand, and then pressed the ball with his upper body. Belleron stayed where he was, and Tristan and others behind him had no intention of attacking again.
Li Ming quickly threw the ball to Molinero on the right, who kicked the ball directly to Torres in the frontcourt. The golden boy started quickly, and the Portuguese central defender Andrade couldn't hold him, so he could only pull Torres down from behind!
Atletico Madrid got a free kick in a good position at the front of the Laco penalty area! During this period, Petrov has gradually become the first choice for direct free kicks in team training, and at this time he also stood in front of the ball.
Run-up, direct shot! Petrov's free kick was like a cannonball, whizzing past the side of the wall and heading straight to the left side of the goal! Laco goalkeeper Molina came to save sideways and punched the ball out with one fist. Before the defender of his team could compete for the second point, Maxi turned around and did a sideways hook shot to the right side of the goal.
Coloccini and Scaloni both tried to block the shot at the goal line. Coloccini was about to clear the ball with his foot when a golden light flashed in front of the goal. Torres made a shovel shot and put the ball firmly into the goal!
The TV commentator shouted frantically: "Fernando Torres! It's him again. His second goal puts Laco in a desperate situation!"
Torres was also very excited. He ran to the sidelines and slid down his knees in a smooth and handsome manner!
2-0! Atletico Madrid leads away from home!
After the restart, the rest of the first half was almost uneventful. Victor and Tristan of Laco made several weak shots that were easily resolved by Li Ming. The home fans still cheered for Laco without hesitation. The majestic songs stirred in the night sky, as if recalling the glory of the past.
