After playing Malaga, Atletico Madrid once again went to Seville.

There, they will play Sevilla in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

Caught off guard, Courtois pounced in the wrong direction.

The football missed the right goal post and flew into the net.

As soon as the game started, the score fell behind, which immediately put Atletico Madrid into passivity.

Sevilla did not stop attacking just because they were one goal ahead.

In the cheers of more than 50,000 fans at home, Sevilla’s players became more and more courageous as they fought.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, was a little stunned and could only retreat to its own half, struggling to support the opponent’s fierce offensive.

“Atletico Madrid is too passive now. If this continues, they will lose the ball sooner or later.”

In the live broadcast room, Liu Jian’s voice was filled with worry.

“Today’s game looks like Sevilla was well prepared before the game, while Atletico Madrid’s intensive schedule obviously affected their condition. He was not able to exert his usual abilities”

“If this game is defeated by a big score at Sevilla’s home court, it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to come back after returning to Atletico Madrid’s home court.”

Zhang Lu also had a worried look on his face, and was obviously a little dissatisfied with Atletico Madrid’s performance in this game. At this time, Atletico Madrid’s situation on the court was already precarious.

Sevilla’s back line was almost pressed. It was near the halfway line.

The football could not pass the half-time at all.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Atletico Madrid’s defense, which had been guarding for more than half an hour, once again collapsed.

They could only huddle near the penalty area and let their opponents bombard them.

Fortunately, during the rest of the first half, Sevilla did not continue to expand the score..When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, the score was still 2-0.

The players from both sides returned to the locker room to rest.

In the visiting team’s locker room, Simeone lost his temper.

“We played absolute shit in the first half! Have you not eaten today? Or are you so full that you can’t even run? Or is it that our opponent is too powerful and scares all of you? Simeone

‘s questions made all the Atletico Madrid players below lower their heads, with looks of shame on their faces.

After scolding for a while, Simeone changed his tone and said:”In the second half, we can’t be like the first half.” He was suppressed by his opponent in his own half. We have to attack!”

“Forest! And Diego! You two have to play your role and go up front for me! I want the Sevilla defense to have a sense of crisis at all times. Only in this way can we relieve the pressure on our side.”

Lin Rui and Coster nodded silently, expressing their understanding.

“Koke, Gabi and Raul, you have to strengthen the stranglehold in the midfield, and you must not let the opponent get the ball comfortably in the midfield. You can foul at critical times. Don’t be afraid of receiving cards. In the semi-finals, yellow cards will not accumulate. You just need to be careful not to receive red cards.”

Koke and the other three nodded together to express their understanding.

“For the rest of you, you should defend the backcourt. Strictly guard the penalty area and don’t follow the opponent’s movements and run around blindly. You must dare to take action at critical moments. Of course, you must pay attention to your position and be careful in the penalty area. After all, this is Sevilla’s home court, so be careful of your opponent’s diving.”

After Simeone finished assigning tasks to the players, it was almost time for halftime.
