Prominence in Football Community

There is one more thing that is very important in Atletico Madrid's home game against Sevilla, but it is for Atletico Madrid.

That is, this is the first time their head coach Diego Simeone has commanded the league from the dugout this season.

After being suspended for eight games, Simeone finally returned to the coaching bench.

It all started when Simeone slapped the fourth official on the back of the head in the second leg of the Super Cup...

After the game, Simeone was suspended for eight games because of multiple violations. Atletico Madrid believed that the penalty was too serious, so they appealed. After some appeals, the referee committee revised the penalty decision.

The eight-game suspension remains unchanged, but four of them have been moved from the league to the Spanish Super Cup, which means that Simeone only needs to complete the four-game suspension before he can come back.

This has minimal impact on Atletico Madrid.

After five league rounds, Simeone returned from the ban.

"Guys, I miss you so much!" In the locker room, Simeone made Gao Zheng laugh with one sentence. He even wondered if Simeone had watched the Chinese New Year Gala...

Fortunately, everyone in the locker room was laughing, no one would wonder what Gao Zheng was laughing at.

"Some people say Atlético Madrid and Sevilla are a big talk, I'd say what they say is bullshit! This is our home game, let's teach those pompous bastards a lesson One point - we are the defending champions!"

Simeone's agitation in the dressing room is very personal and swearing, but it is difficult to incite people.

While players from both sides were still standing in the channel waiting to play, Diego Simeone had already entered the stadium ahead of schedule.

When he stood in front of the coach's bench and raised his hands to applaud the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands, there was a tsunami of cheers and singing.

"Welcome back to the fighting position, our head coach!" The live broadcast also shouted very sensationally.

Gao Zheng didn't see the situation at that time, but he still heard the voices of the fans and the radio clearly in the passage, and he could completely imagine the scene - the king returned to his throne, and there was a dense darkness under the throne People, they knelt on the ground and raised their hands and shouted long live.

He looked at the teammates around him again, and found that they were completely different from the previous games. When he heard the cheers outside, they all had smiles on their faces. worries, on the contrary they are full of confidence.

Gao Zheng knew that all this confidence came from the man outside.

Although Atletico Madrid achieved four wins and one tie in the previous game, the process was a bit tortuous.

But now that the head coach comes back, it seems that the twists and turns will no longer exist.

This situation is somewhat similar to religious worship.

In Gao Zheng's view, Simeone is not the head coach of Atletico Madrid, but the source of the team's strength.

Gao Zheng was amazed that a head coach could do this.

After the start of the game, it seemed that under the influence of Simeone's return to Atletico Madrid's coaching bench, Sevilla's performance was a little timid, but Atletico Madrid continued to attack Sevilla's goal amidst the cheers of the home team fans. Violent offensive.

"...In the past four seasons, Atletico Madrid has remained unbeaten against Sevilla. This is Atletico Madrid's advantage. In the past nine games they have played against, Atletico Madrid has won four and drawn five. advantage." He Ping was introducing the strength comparison of the two teams to the Chinese fans in front of the TV, to strengthen the confidence of the fans.

Feng Shiyao in front of the TV couldn't help yawning.

Recently, the recording work of the new album has reached the most critical moment, the daily work is already very busy, and I have to stay up late to watch the football game - about this, neither Feng Shiyao nor Xiao Yingying told the manager Uncle Zhang, just worried that Uncle Zhang would be opposed to. After all, staying up late hurts the body and the mind.

"It feels like the competition is so intensive..." Feng Shiyal complained after yawning. "I often watch the game during this time."

"It's all double matches a week. The match against Almeria was in the early hours of Thursday, which means it's only been three days." Xiao Yingying said after taking a big sip of coffee.

The time of two o'clock in the morning is also embarrassing, not too early but not too late. If it is later, such as three or four o'clock, you can still take a nap first, and then wake up to watch. If it is earlier, such as twelve o'clock or one o'clock, you can watch it directly without going to bed, or you can go to bed at two or three o'clock after watching it. But two o'clock in the morning belongs to the kind where you want to go to bed early. Maybe you will be woken up by the alarm clock not long after you go to bed. I won't sleep for a long time before I have to get up again...

"We all feel tired watching the football, aren't we even more tired playing football? After this game, three days later, there will be the UEFA Champions League group match against Juventus..." Xiao Yingying and Feng Shiyao were in the When Gao Zheng didn't show any performance, he chatted with each other.

Atletico Madrid didn't make the fans wait too long. Simeone, who was standing on the coach's bench, seemed to be able to give the players a steady stream of power.

In the 19th minute, when Gao Zheng took the ball from the left, he first pretended to break through from the center, but in the end he buckled the football to the side.

However, after he swayed the first Sevilla defensive player, he was kicked on the calf by another Sevilla player Kolozi Yezak who rushed up.

Gao Zheng lost his balance and fell to the ground. The referee's whistle and the boos of the fans sounded at the same time.

Kolozi Yezak was shown a yellow card by the referee for a foul, and Atletico Madrid also got a free kick from the left side of the front court.

After the free kick entered the penalty area, it caused chaos in front of Sevilla. The football was cleared to the side in the chaos. Atlético Madrid left-back Ansaldi used his body to protect the football after taking the ball to complete the turn, and then passed the football to the goal before being forced out of the baseline. The football fell forward and the result was Sevilla player Mbia made a diving jump and pushed the football out of the penalty area.

But in fact, Mbia's header clearance is very far-fetched, because the football lands very low, and it stands to reason that he should use his feet to clear the siege, but if he uses his feet, Mbia cannot reach the football, so he can only come forward , Complete the rescue by diving to the top.

But the football pushed out by him didn't fly too far, it flew directly to a little outside the penalty area and was picked up by Cork.

Then Cork took a long shot directly there, and the football hit the heel of the Sevilla central defender Nicolas Pareja who came up to block it and jumped up, just past the ten fingers of goalkeeper Beto. After barely passing Beto's fingertips, he fell and flew into Sevilla's goal!

"Oh! A refraction! Cork opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid! Only 20 minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid took the lead!"

Before the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid once again used set-pieces to extend their lead.

The pattern is almost exactly the same as the first conceded goal. It was also Gao Zheng who took the ball in the frontcourt and was violated by Sevilla. He won a free kick in the frontcourt for Atletico Madrid. After the free kick was passed into the penalty area by Gabi, Sevilla Leah defender Kolozy Yezak headed the ball over Arda Turan's head. But it didn't go too far. Miranda, who hit the penalty area this time, didn't stop the ball, and directly hoisted the football to the back of the goal.

Gao Zheng was originally in the back, but there were two Sevilla players around him who kept close to him, so he didn't even take off when facing the flying football.

Although he didn't head the ball, he successfully covered his striker partner Griezmann who was behind him. He jumped high and headed the flying football towards the goal!

Sevilla Beto had already blocked the near corner, but he didn't expect that Griezmann pushed the football to the back corner of the goal. He could only watch the football fly by and then rushed into the back corner of the goal.

"Griezmann! He scored his first league goal after joining Atletico Madrid! Congratulations to the Frenchman! Atletico Madrid led Sevilla by two goals in the first half! Sure enough, when Simeone stood After being on the sidelines, this team is considered to have completed its full form, and before they have never reached their strongest state. Although they have won four games, they are actually supported more by their superb personal abilities... "

Diego Simeone in front of the coach was shaking his fist desperately and "boxing".

"Seeing Diego Simeone celebrating passionately on the sidelines again is really nostalgic!" José Maria laughed.
