Get full strength at the beginning, overpowering Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi

Two days later, Atletico Madrid rushed to the away game to play the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals against Deportivo La Coruña.

After Deportivo’s Super Deportivo era ended at the beginning of this century, the team’s performance has been ups and downs and unstable.

And this season, the performance has been declining, and now the ranking in La Liga has slipped to the relegation zone.

Facing such a team, although it was an away game, Atletico Madrid did not play conservatively.

In the end, with goals from Lin Rui and Gabi, Atletico Madrid defeated their opponents 2-0 in the away game.

After playing Deportivo La Coruña, we returned to Madrid, and Atletico Madrid ushered in their opponent Celta Vigo in the 21st round of the league.

This time Simeone made another rotation.

However, Lin Rui was still scheduled to start.

In fact, Simeone was also surprised. Lin Rui’s physical fitness seemed to be made of steel. No matter how tight the schedule was, he had no problems.

At first, he was worried that the intensive schedule would affect him, but every physical examination report given to him by the team doctor showed that the opponent’s physical condition could not be better.

After a few times, he was relieved.

Having such a tireless player in the team is definitely a blessing to the entire team.

This game against Celta Vigo demonstrated Lin Rui’s value.

Due to the rotation, Atletico Madrid, which is mostly substitute players, is not dominant on the scene.

And in the 34th minute of the first half, the opponent scored first.

After taking the lead, Celta began to shrink its front line in an all-round way, trying to delay the game until the end.

At this time, Atletico Madrid players were actually very impatient.

Because in the last league game, Lin Rui had just talked about winning 18 games in a row, but now he was lagging behind.

If he loses this game today, then the arrogance Lin Rui just said a few days ago will definitely become a weapon to ridicule him and the team.

So at this time, every Atletico Madrid player became anxious.

But sometimes the more anxious you are, the less likely you are to score a goal.

After this, Atletico Madrid launched an intensive attack towards Celta Vigo’s goal.

However, these attacks were all in vain.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-1.

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.

Maybe it was because he calmed down in the midfield, or maybe he was scolded severely by Simeone.

In the second half, Atletico Madrid gradually calmed down and began to play steadily.

Finally, in the 59th minute of the game, Lin Rui received a cross from Koke in the penalty area and scored with a header.

Tied the score.

After scoring a goal, the game became easier to play.

Soon after ten minutes, Celta fouled more than thirty meters away from the goal, allowing Atletico Madrid to get a free kick in the frontcourt.

Lin Rui personally took the penalty and directly hit the goal with a heavy shot, knocking on the door of Celta Vigo again.

The score was overtaken.

Until this moment, Simeone, who had been worried on the sidelines, was relieved.

There is nothing much to say about the game after this.

After Celta falls behind, it will definitely have to counterattack.

But facing Atletico Madrid’s defense, they didn’t have many offensive methods.

And at the last moment of the game, Atletico Madrid successfully fought back.

In the end, Costa had a single chance and scored directly with a shot from the Celta Vigo goalkeeper.

In the end, this game relied on two goals from Lin Rui and one goal from Costa. Atletico Madrid won Celta Vigo in a thrilling way with a score of 3-1.

Finally, the team and Lin Rui were not slapped in the face.

On the third day after this game, Atletico Madrid ushered in the second leg of the Copa del Rey at home against Deportivo La Coruna.

With two away goals in the last game at the bottom, Simeone once again boldly made a large-scale rotation.

Of course, Lin Rui is still the unbeatable starter.

And this game was not what everyone expected.

In the end, the two sides drew 0-0.

Atletico Madrid advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey without losing any blood.

In their next game, they will face the Basque Lions Athletic Bilbao.

But that will be in two weeks.

Before this, Atletico Madrid still has two league games and one Europa League game.

Three days later, Atletico Madrid went away to challenge league rivals Real Sociedad.

Real Sociedad’s performance this season is quite good. They are currently ranked fourth in the league, only 5 points less than Real Madrid, which is third in the league. Overwhelming Valencia, Sevilla, one of the traditional strong teams in La Liga.

So this game is not easy to play.

And so it is.

Atletico Madrid encountered great difficulties at the Anoeta Stadium, home of Real Sociedad.

Less than five minutes into the game, Real Sociedad took the lead.

Their leading forward, Griezmann, used his speed to break through Atletico Madrid’s defense during a counterattack.

After Courtois abandoned the goal, he shot a low shot through Atletico Madrid’s goal.

Griezmann’s goal immediately cheered the fans at the scene.

They cheered for their team desperately, and Real Sociedad was full of momentum for a while.

After taking the lead, Real Sociedad did not shrink its defense, but continued to attack while taking advantage of the momentum of the goal.

Want to continue to expand the score.

Atlético Madrid, who was caught off guard, struggled to support itself and was almost allowed to score again several times.

Fortunately, Atletico Madrid was lucky enough to withstand the onslaught of Real Sociedad.

After this, Atletico Madrid, which had recovered its nerves, also began to launch a counterattack.

And in the 34th minute of the game, Lin Rui successfully cut in from the left side of the penalty area and shot through the door of Real Sociedad.

The two sides fought to a 1-1 draw.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Atletico Madrid suffered another blow.

In the 51st minute of the game, Griezmann sent an inverted triangle pass near the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area. Aguirreche outflanked him in the middle and shot through the Atletico Madrid gate again.

Real Sociedad once again took the lead.

The Real Sociedad fans in the stands were even more crazy at this time. They felt that their team’s performance today was very good.

On the other side, Simeone on the sidelines was very dissatisfied with the performance of his players.

He roared loudly on the sidelines, venting his dissatisfaction.

The players of Atletico Madrid all looked serious and very depressed.

After Real Sociedad took the lead this time, at the request of head coach Montaner, it began to shrink its defense line.

Atletico Madrid began to press out.

However, several attacks launched by Atletico Madrid after this were unsuccessful.

I even almost got hit by the opponent once.

If Courtois hadn’t played well, Atletico Madrid would have been two goals behind.

At this moment, Lin Rui stood up again.

In the 69th minute of the game, he fired a powerful volley from a position of more than 30 meters in the frontcourt. The football was like a shell, and it went directly into the upper right corner of Real Sociedad’s goal.

Atletico Madrid pulled a goal back and the two sides returned to the same starting line again.
