"Oh no! Adrian! He missed a great shooting opportunity." Liu Jian shouted regretfully.
"Falcao actually passed the ball very well. If Adrian could react faster, he would have scored. Unfortunately, he started too late."
Zhang Lu was also very regretful.
Simeone on the sidelines was about to raise his arms to celebrate the goal when Falcao passed the ball. But in the end, Adrian didn't catch up. This almost made Simeone explode with anger.
He couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to the sidelines and roared at Adrian.
Adrian, knowing that he was in the wrong, could only lower his head and dared not say a word.
The game continued, and Atletico Madrid continued to attack Real Betis' goal.
However, under Real Betis's stubborn defense, several attacks were just thunder and rain.
Although Falcao, the two attacking arrows of Atletico Madrid, has a keen sense of smell in front of the goal and a strong body, the defenders of Real Betis also take care of him closely.
The two defenders, Martinez and Amaya, one tall and one fast, defended Falcao very tightly. In addition, there was another defender, Nacho, assisting in the defense not far away.
The three defenders’ focused attention made it very difficult for Falcao to get the ball in the frontcourt.
Of course, Real Betis’ heavy investment in defending Falcao inevitably weakened the care for other Atletico Madrid’s offensive players.
If Atletico Madrid’s other striker, Adrian, was strong enough at this time, he should be able to find a chance to score easily.
It’s a pity that Adrian is not Costa, and his ability is not enough to stand up when the team is in trouble.
Real Betis only assigned one player to mark him, making his role in the frontcourt dispensable.
Atletico Madrid’s several attacks all came to an abrupt end when they reached him.
This annoyed Simeone on the sidelines, and also Some helplessness.
Diego Costa's injury has too much impact on the team.
This has reduced the team's offensive power by at least 30%.
At this time, the game on the field has been going on for almost half an hour, and Atletico Madrid's attack has slowed down.
No matter which team it is, it is impossible for that kind of high-intensity onslaught to last a whole game.
After attacking for a while, the players also need to slow down the rhythm.
Real Betis also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Although Atletico Madrid's offense failed to score a goal in the past period of time, the pressure it caused to them was real.
Now they can finally take a breath.
However, they did not take the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, but just pressed their own line forward and began to strangle Atletico Madrid in the midfield. In the 31st minute of the game, Gabi was in the midfield. The pass was intercepted by Salva, who immediately launched an attack.
He made a long diagonal pass to Peruz on the right side, who accelerated to catch up with the ball and crossed the baseline.
Then, before reaching the baseline, he kicked the ball directly to the middle.
In the Atletico penalty area, Juan Carlos had already come up and headed the ball directly to the top.
However, his header did not hit the right spot, and the ball was headed high by him, rubbing the top of the crossbar and flying out of the baseline. This shot scared the Atletico Madrid players into a cold sweat.
If the ball had been a few dozen centimeters lower, it would have been another goal.
Juan Carlos, who missed the goal, patted his forehead with regret, and then gave a thumbs up to Salva who passed the ball. In the 36th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid got an attacking opportunity.
Turan kicked the ball from the wing.
In the penalty area, Adrian lost the header battle with Dorado.
The ball was headed out of the penalty area by Dorado.
The ball happened to fall at Peruz's feet.
He saw the right opportunity and sent a long pass.
At this time, because Atletico Madrid was attacking, the overall defense line was very forward.
Peruz's long pass directly broke through the last line of defense formed by Godin and Miranda.
Juan Carlos, who had been ambushing near the midfield, also started at the right time, using his speed to instantly counter-offside and directly chased the ball behind the Atletico defender.
This time Juan Carlos did not miss the opportunity again.
He ran all the way with the ball, and before entering the penalty area, facing Courtois who abandoned the goal, he directly shot the ball into Atletico's goal.
2-0!
After scoring, Juan Carlos excitedly did several front flips in a row.
Then he was surrounded by excited teammates.
Betis head coach Pepe Mel on the sidelines also ran excitedly on the sidelines.
When passing by Atletico's bench, he glanced at Simeone intentionally or unintentionally.
This made Simeone's already livid face even uglier.
"It was really frustrating for Atletico Madrid to lose this goal. This was originally their chance to attack, but the opponent counterattacked. Is there anything more infuriating than this?"
"If Lin Rui had been on the field, it would have been impossible for the opponent's defender to head the ball. Adrian is really old, Simeone should consider changing him."
In the live broadcast room, Liu Jian was somewhat distressed.
"I didn't expect that a good game would turn out like this. Atletico Madrid is only making noise but not making money. There were many attacks, but there was no threatening ball at all."
"Who says it's not true? In the first half, Atletico Madrid shot more than ten times but didn't score a single goal, while Real Betis shot three times but scored two. This goal efficiency... Sigh!"
"That Adrian is really not good. I think Lin Rui will be replaced soon. Looking forward to it."
"Yes, the team is not performing well, Simeone must make adjustments. Now it seems that the only solution is to adjust the attacking line. Maybe Lin Rui will really have a chance to play."
Various football gods in the comment area began to make predictions.
Looking at these comments, Liu Jian turned to Zhang Lu and asked,"Coach Zhang, do you think Simeone will send Lin Rui to play?"
"I think this possibility is still very high.
In the first half, Atletico's attack line seemed a little weak under the defense of Real Betis' two tall central defenders.
Several opportunities were missed.
In this case, the team urgently needs a strong attacker to revitalize the entire frontcourt.
And Lin Rui, as a strong center forward, is just the right role.
The only problem now is that Lin Rui has just joined the team for a few days, and his tacit understanding with his teammates must be a little worse.
Now it depends on how Simeone uses him.
"
Zhang Lu analyzed it clearly.
At this time on the court, Simeone, who was annoyed by Pepe Mel's contempt, finally made a decision.
"Lin, go warm up!"
Simone turned and looked at Lin Rui.
