Chapter 96 The Trusted Simone

However, the current Spanish players' offensive characteristics are well reflected in Atletico Madrid. After getting the ball, Atletico Madrid players want to quickly push the football into the frontcourt and then attack and score. Perhaps the current team is leading the score, so the players play more casually, but this casual way of playing has almost caused a disaster.

The fourth official now raised the sign of injury stop time, which said that the sign was three minutes of injury stop time. Since the pace of the two teams in the first half was very fast, although there were several free kick opportunities, the time spent was not very much, so three minutes was considered very reasonable.

However, within these three minutes, Dortmund launched a very sharp attack, showing that Dortmund got a free kick at the forefront of the goal. This free kick was a match made by Mark when he was defending Rosici and Aiwei. After Eveton broke through Atletico Madrid's right-back and then prepared to cut in. Mark directly tackled the football with a tackle.

The referee ran over at this time and saw the assistant referee punishing Mark for a foul outside the penalty area, giving Dortmund a free kick.

"I just shoveled the football and met someone. It should be a corner kick," Mark explained to the referee now, because he had just shoveled the football first and then brought Eveton down, so this should be a good ball. After Mark tackled the football and flew out of the baseline, it should be a corner kick, not a free kick.

The referee didn't seem to feel anything about Mark's explanation, and he still insisted on his decision. Fortunately, the angle of the free kick was not very good. He was already close to the corner kick near Atletico Madrid's baseline, so even if the penalty was given to Dortmund a free kick, it was actually not much different from the corner kick.

"I just met a player, so it's a corner kick now." The referee now told Mark what he saw. In fact, what happened just now happened very quickly. There were multiple players entangled, and even the assistant referee and the referee were unable to see clearly what was going on.

The referee is because the distance is too far, and the assistant referee is also because his vision is blocked, so he cannot see clearly what happened. The referee now can only rely on his own experience and feelings to judge.

However, even a misjudgment made this time have little impact on the team, because after all, it is not a free kick with a good position. If this is a free kick that can be shot directly from the outside of the penalty area, Mark must discuss it with the referee.

Although Mark knows that it is useless to theory with the referee most of the time, this kind of thing happens to him, Mark has to argue with the referee. Perhaps Mark will say to others: "Addition is useless, and the referee will not change the penalty." This may be the concept that the bystander is clear.

However, it is also beneficial to argue with the referee, because it can put some pressure on the referee to make him pay attention to his punishment in the future.

"Shh!" The Atletico Madrid fans at the Calderon Stadium also cooperated and booed to express their dissatisfaction with the penalty.

However, although this is the case, the penalty cannot be changed. Atletico Madrid players have now accepted this reality. Under the command of goalkeeper Franco, they lined up a wall of two people in front, and then many players in Atletico Madrid's penalty area were pulled together. Now Atletico Madrid players and Dortmund players are fighting for positions without giving in.

"Don't think of running, I'll tell you." Mark now also pushed into the penalty area. His defensive player is midfielder Kyle. Because Kyle is in good health, his header is also very threatening. Mark is now staring at Kyle against the defensive defense, and then Mark also muttered in his mouth and said something Kyle couldn't understand.

Kyle and Mark are now pulling each other, but now since the referee has not whistled the whistle to kick off, neither of them is running to pull the empty space.

Veteran Simeone is now defending another defender Olisech from Atletico Madrid outside the penalty area. Simeone's physical condition is no longer very good now, so he is still very uncomfortable with people gaze at people. He can only do some protection work outside the penalty area.

Rossiki is now standing before football, which is also his few easy opportunities in this game. Rossiki is now basically interfering with him except for taking some free kicks and corner kicks.

Although Mark also wants to interfere with him now, unfortunately, the current rules do not allow it. All players must stand 9:15 meters away from the football, and no players are allowed to rush out at the moment when the football is drawn, otherwise this free kick will be punished again.

At this time, Rosici quickly used his left foot like Mozart's finger to drive the ball out. It was a high-speed rotating inward ball. Now the ball flew into Atletico Madrid's penalty area with a strong arc.

Now Jankoler, the highest point in the penalty area, jumped up first. He is now preparing to head directly to attack the goal, but he did not exert strength under the interference of Baboro. The football now rubbed the top of Jankoler's head and flew directly to the back point.

"Is Rosici's free kick ready to shoot directly?" The commentator seemed to have discovered a very important question and said in surprise.

"Fly, fly into the goal?" Rosici now looked at the trajectory of the football flying. He was indeed not ready to shoot directly. He originally planned to pass the ball, but now he saw the football route, it was actually a bit like Atletico Madrid's back post. Now he felt that his shot was a little awesome.

However, Atletico Madrid has other players defending now, such as Mark is now defending at the back point, but Mark is now surrounded by Kyle, who is also tall. Mark and Kyle are closely attached to each other at the back point of the penalty area. Both of them hope to get a more powerful position.

But at this time, a player's prediction of football is reflected, because only good prediction ability can stand at a position earlier to win time for the next move.

Kyle is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms. Mark now has no advantage over Kyle in terms of height and weight. Mark's advantage is undoubtedly his ability to predict football.

Now Mark has judged the landing point of the football and then stood up, and stared at Kyle with his body, so that Kyle could not squeeze him away.

Now Mark feels what the difference between the weight of ten kilograms is. Now Mark stretches out his arms and then all his body strength is leaning on Kyle. Mark does this to prevent Kyle from having a good chance to come to him.

But Kyle is also pushing Mark behind Mark, and he also hopes to use his physical advantage to squeeze Mark away and then get a header shot.

Now that the football flew over, Mark was about to take off, but Kyle had already taken off. At the same time, he pressed Mark's shoulder tightly with his arm, so that Mark had no chance to take off. It was originally a foul action, but the referee did not whistle.

Although Mark is now under Kyle, he has not done anything. Mark is also jumping under Kyle. Mark does this to interfere with Kyle's movements. After all, Kyle is now jumping behind Mark, and his position is not very good. If he hadn't taken advantage of a chance that should have been a foul, he would not have been able to get the chance to head this time.

But although Kyle now made a foul and pressed his body against Mark, he did not fully exert his strength under Mark's interference. He just changed the direction of the football after touching the football.

At this time, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Franco showed his keen reaction nerve. He hit the ball out of the penalty area with both fists, but after Kyle headed the ball and his whole body pressed on Mark. Now both of them fell heavily together. This was the first time Mark was pressed under the opponent's player so hard.

"Look at how I'll teach you a lesson." Although Mark was pressed under Kyle now, his knees were also pressed hard on Kyle's ribs.

"Oh..." Kyle was pushed by Mark and quickly rolled off Mark's body, then hugged his stomach and rolled back on the ground. This time it hurt him. You must know that this was pushed by Mark when he was falling at high speed. If it didn't hurt, there would be a ghost.

But at this time, Dortmund did not terminate the game because of Kyle's injury. Perhaps they wanted to win the game too much. Now the football flew outside the penalty area, and Simeone and Oliseyhe had the same chance to compete for football.

However, Simeone is too old now. He is no longer suitable for playing football in the top league. Now his body can no longer run. Now Olishe's starting speed is much better than Simeone. After Simeone got the football before, he then took a shot without caring down on the ground.

Now Franco has just hit the football and his current position is a little bit tilted to his right. He has not made enough adjustments yet. Now Franco sees the football flying towards him.

With a "bang", Olishe's football hit the goal post and then bounced out of the bottom line.

"Oh" A false alarm broke out in the stadium. Atletico Madrid fans now feel that this football is indeed very dangerous. Fortunately, God blessed the goal without scoring.

"Damn, what do you do for? Can't you hold such a ball?" Ferlando now shouted at Simeone on the court and vented his dissatisfaction.

He used Simeone as the core of this young Atletico Madrid team, but now Simeone's performance on the court has disappointed him, so Ferlando is so angry.

Simeone didn't say anything after looking at Ferlando who was yelling on the sidelines, but Simeone now knows how bad his situation is now. He is already out of breath before the first half of the game ends. If he was still on the court in the second half, Simeone knew that he would be played with by Dortmund's players.

In fact, this is not a big deal, because Simeone felt that his physical condition was no longer suitable for playing for Atletico Madrid. He had already asked to return to his motherland, but head coach Ferlando did not allow it, so Simeone did not transfer.

The current referee immediately ran to Atletico Madrid's penalty area to ask about Kyle's physical condition on the ground. After briefly asking about Kyle's condition, he let the ready Dortmund team doctor enter the field.

"How is it, how are you feeling now?" Dortmund's team doctor first checked Kyle after he came on the court, and then sprayed him with some aerosol to relieve physical pain.

"I feel that my ribs are very painful now. I don't know if they are broken," Kyle said to the team doctor now.

The team doctor now sees Kyle's injury and needs treatment off the court. Since the current inspection time will delay the game on the court, the current team doctor summons a stretcher to replace Kyle. Fortunately, it is not long before the end of the first half, and Kyle has no problem with the end of the game now.

The game continued after Kyle was carried off. Now that Dortmund lacked one player on the court, they are not in a hurry to attack now. Their goal is to spend all the time in the first half and wait for the head coach to make tactical adjustments during the halftime break.

The players of both teams are now slowly consuming these few minutes on the court. After the half-time game is over, the fans of both teams have returned to their locker rooms.

"We performed very well in the first half, and we need to fight more actively in the second half." Ferlando now walked into the locker room and saw the players in good spirits and said first with praise.

"But we have to make adjustments in the second half. Our team now needs to make changes in the formation. Jorge in the second half, Gonzalo (Corsa), you replace Jorge's position, and we have to use three midfielders to strengthen the defense in the second half." Now, Ferlando saw the score in the first half of the Atletico Madrid leading by one goal, so he became more determined that he would adopt conservative tactics to ensure his team's victory.

"Mark, you still have to press Rosici in the second half. Remember to consume more of his spirit. The remaining players must remember to fill up Mark." Ferlando also made a arrangement for Mark on the court in the second half. Now it depends on the team's performance.

"Diego" At this time, Ferlando came to Simeone. Simeone is now enjoying massage from a physiotherapist at Atletico Madrid. His physical fitness has been consumed a lot in the first half, so at this time, Ferlando called Simeone and made Simeone a little stunned.

"Is this going to replace me? It probably won't be possible. If I replace me, I should have said it from the beginning, it probably won't." Simeone now thought to herself when she heard Ferlando calling her.

"Coach..." Simeone didn't know what Ferlando was going to say to him now, so he just agreed and waited for Ferlando to continue talking.

"How is your body like, how do you feel?" Ferlando did not explain the next tactical questions now. Instead, he first asked Simeone's physical condition.

In fact, Ferlando has his own considerations for doing this, because although the current team captain is Torres, Simeone still has a lot of say in the team's locker room, because after all, Simeone is the biggest star in the team now. It's not that Simeone is worth a lot now, but that Simeone has played for many clubs, and he is also the captain of the Argentine national team.

You should know that even the current Madrid golden boy Torres is working hard to represent the national team in the game. Simeone has appeared on the World Cup stage many times. This is enviable and can be used. Therefore, Simeone still has a certain role in the team's locker room, which is why Ferlando is preparing to keep him.

Although Ferlando is a young coach, he is still willing to believe in experienced veterans. In his opinion, these veterans can pass the crowd and lead the relatively young team of Atletico Madrid to achieve better development.

"It's okay, boss, I think I can still appear on the court, and my physical condition can still be persisted," Simeone said to Ferlando. Ferlando now believes that Simeone has this strength. As a professional player, he should be very clear about his physical condition.
