The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 429 Director Li returns to the world

Atletico Madrid, which conceded three goals in a row, finally lost its patience in the first half.

They gave up the defensive tactics that lasted for 60 minutes, showed their sharp claws, and launched a fierce attack on Chelsea's midfield and backfield.

Simeone's team is not without offensive players, but for this "bandit coach" who has played in Italy for many years, the importance of "defense" has long penetrated into every aspect of his football philosophy.

With his vigorous offense, he is more committed to winning while ensuring a solid defense.

It is a pity that he is opposite Conte, a famous Italian football player. He not only has the essence of Italian football, but also started the trend of three central defenders in Juventus and the Italian national team. Even after he moved to the Premier League, the three central defenders

The tactics quickly became a whirlwind in England. Even Wenger, who was preparing to retire, also tried a 343 at Arsenal...

In the 63rd minute, Carrasco made a strong breakthrough from the left, and William was caught off guard and was easily penetrated by him. Then Azpilicueta, who was defending, even dragged him, but could not prevent him from completing the pass. Fortunately, in front

Correa, who made the connection, failed to aim at the angle and hit the center of the goal with his shot, which was easily confiscated by Courtois.

Chelsea then retaliated. Courtois threw the ball vigorously across the half-court. Lee Polo easily squeezed out Partey's header to ferry, Golovin quickly separated the sides, and Hazard waded across the diagonal lane from left to right.

The two defensive players even crossed paths with Pedro and shot into the far corner from the right side of the penalty area!

It's a pity that today's scoring champion put all his state into dribbling, but forgot to put on his shooting boots, hit the goal post with a pocket shot, and bounced back with a "bang"...

Unprepared, Pedro subconsciously stretched out his left foot, and the football drew a shallow parabola in the air, and then landed in Oblak's arms.

Oblak didn't waste a second and threw the football with great force, giving Atletico Madrid another chance to attack!

"...Made..."

Seeing the football flying over his head again, Lee Polo, who had just reached the top of the penalty area, couldn't help but curse.

He could only turn around again and admire the confrontation between his own defender and Atletico Madrid forward from a distance.

Correa and Griezmann passed the ball continuously, trying to tear apart Chelsea's defense, but the experienced Cahill, Luis, and Azpilicueta all performed flawlessly.

Seeing that Kanter, Golovin and Alonso all retreated, Griezmann, who was still unable to break through the siege, could only end the attack with a long shot. The football was touched by Cahill and changed direction.

The bottom line has been crossed.

The ensuing corner kick was taken by Cork, and there was a flurry of excitement in front of the Chelsea goal.

Lee Polo, who was standing far away, did not participate in the defense of this corner kick, so he watched Luiz... pull down Griezmann!

At this moment, Li Polo was as confused as Conte on the sidelines:

【Why does he pull people so hard?】

[In Griezmann’s position, he can’t touch the ball at all!]

[Although heading a ball depends not only on height, but...can Luis, who is 189, still unable to beat Griezmann, who is 176, in close combat? 】

Even Zhan Jun in the live broadcast room was stunned:

"Atletico Madrid won a penalty?! David Luiz's foul this time... was completely unnecessary!"

Zhang Lu shook his head:

"Now...the game is in suspense again!"

-

"I...I don't know!"

Louis shook his head full of waves and explained to the referee and teammates.

But the referee Irati ignored his pale excuse and simply gave him a yellow card.

Captain Cahill patted him on the shoulder:

"It's okay, you can treat me tonight!"

After all, with a three-goal lead, even if one goal is conceded, it will not affect the outcome or cause the Chelsea players to have a mental breakdown.

Azar spat out unhappily, but did not say a word.

He and Pedro slowly retreated to the opponent's penalty area, but saw a familiar figure entering the penalty area.

"Why?"

He was stunned for a moment and asked Pedro:

"What was he doing in front of the door?"

Pedro also shook his head with a puzzled look on his face, quietly enjoying the performance of a certain teammate.

-

Courtois was a little nervous, and he was still complaining about Louis' reckless foul.

Then he saw Li Polo crossing most of the stadium and coming to his side.

【What is he here for?】

Courtois looked at his teammate wearing No. 1, and his first reaction was to be wary:

[Damn, he wouldn’t want me to end the game and then become the goalkeeper himself, would he? 】

[No wonder he chose the No. 1 jersey, it turns out he always wanted to steal my job!]

Although Courtois was loaned to Atletico Madrid and did not participate in the League Cup final two years ago, when he returned to Chelsea, he certainly heard about the "legend" and "nightmare" from his teammates.

The whole of Chelsea knows:

Lee Polo is really good at judging penalty kicks!

But Courtois immediately denied his speculation:

[Although Lee Polo can be a goalkeeper, but...it seems unnecessary!]

Fortunately, Li Polo quickly explained his purpose and put an end to his teammates' random thoughts:

"When he starts running, you can pay attention to the direction of my arms."

Li Polo blinked and quickly left the penalty area without waiting for his teammates to respond.

Courtois watched him pass Griezmann.

Li Polo stopped for a moment and gave "Grid" a heart attack:

"Antoine, I guess you will miss this penalty kick!"

-

Zhan Jun, thousands of miles away, reported the data almost at the same time:

"Griezmann has had trouble with penalty kicks recently. Including national team games, he has only scored one goal in five penalty kick opportunities recently. I wonder how his feet feel today?"

The Atletico forward carefully positioned the football, took a few steps back, and looked up at the goal and goalkeeper.

Griezmann is very familiar with Courtois, who has been on loan at Atletico Madrid for three seasons.

[The tall and long-armed Belgian goalkeeper is more accustomed to pounce on his lower left corner!]

——That is, the lower right corner from Griezmann's perspective.

The French striker took a deep breath, reached out and brushed his dyed white hair, and started to run.

Once the run-up begins, he will no longer observe the goalkeeper's movements, otherwise he may be interfered with.

Courtois glanced subconsciously.

Behind Griezmann, Lee Poirot stood in the middle of the top of the penalty area. The thin Griezmann would not block his movements at all.

Li Polo did as he said, stretching out his arm and pointing to his left front.

Courtois didn't have time to think about it. He kicked off his right foot and flew towards his right front!

As soon as he rose into the sky, he saw the football flying in front of him!

【That guy must be in the dark!】

Courtois roared in his heart, closed his hands slightly inward, and actually hugged the ball!

Griezmann pursed his lips in disbelief and slowly shook his head.

【What the hell!】

[The moment I shot the shot, there seemed to be a strange feeling flashing behind me! Was it...possessed by something unclean?]

-

"Griezmann shot! Courtois made a successful save! He completely saw through the opponent's shooting path! Incredible!"

Zhan Jun's voice was also full of surprise:

"Let's take a look at the replay footage and let Zhang Zhi analyze for us the psychological game between the offense and defense of this penalty kick..."

Zhang Lu was about to take action when he saw the camera suddenly flash past and return to the competition scene...

He was stunned for a moment and saw that Courtois had already kicked the ball towards the frontcourt.

And in the vast midfield, a white lightning is running wildly!

"Lee Polo overtook Fran and Felipe! He seems to have been prepared!"

Zhan Jun broke the tone directly:

"He... is too fast!"

Courtois' big-footed kick was so powerful that it didn't start to fall until it flew past the center circle.

This means that in the previous 50 meters, Lee Polo was completely running without the ball!

Oblak made an assessment immediately and chose to abandon the goal and attack!

[According to the speed and height of the football flight, Lee Polo will receive the pass about 5 meters away from the penalty area. As Atletico Madrid’s last line of defense, I can’t sit still and wait for death!]

He also kept in mind the information provided by the coaching team:

[Li Polo's foot skills are not refined enough. If he wants to stop such a long-distance pass, he needs at least one second to adjust...]

[One second is enough to destroy the ball!]

Oblak rushed out of the penalty area aggressively, preparing to defeat his old rival.

Then he saw Li Polo slow down and take off into the air when he was still 8 meters away from the penalty area line!

Blues No. 1, 24 meters away from the goal... chooses to header and lob!

While running at high speed, he used his head to push out a graceful topspin arc!

"?!"

Oblak's knees softened and he slid to his knees at the top of the penalty area.

He turned his head and looked behind him. A white afterimage flew across the empty goal line and fell into the empty goal!

His mood sank to the ground just like the football!

4:0!

This was the 67th minute. Atletico Madrid, who got a penalty kick, not only failed to reduce the score, but instead allowed the opponent to score another victory!
