Chapter 503 Crazy Suppression

"The second half of the game is about to start! Atletico Madrid did not make a substitution! Although it is a huge pressure for them to lose one player, but it is more in the away game, and they still lead by one goal! Under such circumstances, Conceding less than two goals in the second half is acceptable..."

The narrator commented that this kind of statement seems to be more utilitarian, but it is the truth.

For Southampton, in addition to paying attention to the opponent's counterattack, what they need to consider is how to tear apart the opponent's defense.

Southampton is at home, of course they have to win one or two more goals, which everyone can think of.

And how Atletico Madrid will choose, everyone knows.

Sure enough, at the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid launched a surprise attack.

However, there were only two or three players involved in the offense. After Saul switched to the wing and made a cross, Griezmann shot directly from behind, but Bailey, who was filling the position, blocked it with his body.

After this attack failed, before Southampton started to attack, Atletico Madrid had already retreated like a tide and launched a full defense!

They are no longer pressing in the frontcourt, but are all recovered to the 30-meter defensive area, and they have launched a defense like an iron barrel formation.

This is really a test for Southampton.

Although they have three forwards, with their forward configuration, it is okay to bully Barcelona without Pique with a long pass, but facing Atletico Madrid, such an attack is obviously not enough.

With a top central defender like Godin and a powerful central defender like Hernandez in the penalty area, even if Southampton has Lukaku who is 1.9 meters tall, he is not such a powerful center.

So they can only pass and break through more delicate ground to create opportunities.

Atletico Madrid is based on destruction.

Atletico Madrid has one less player, but the destructive style of play is of course easier to kick out.

Southampton's attack will take more energy.

But soon, Southampton began to show their offensive ability, let everyone take a good look at the firepower that Southampton has.

After passing to the frontcourt, Coutinho took a long shot.

The long shot from 20 meters away was saved by Oblak.

"This goalkeeper is good. The Portuguese Super League is really capable of training goalkeepers." Ji Ya said to Benelli.

Benelli knew that Ji Ya was a little jealous of the opponent's young goalkeeper, but it was obvious that Atletico Madrid would not let him go unless he paid a super high price...

After all, as a giant in La Liga, Atletico Madrid is actually not short of money. Although it is not as rich and powerful as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​it can still be financially independent of others.

Under such circumstances, it is really difficult to dig Oblak.

It’s just that Ji Ya said that Gulac is also very good. The position of goalkeeper does not necessarily have to be the best goalkeeper in the world. It is more important to be reliable and play in line with the characteristics of the team.

Although Gulac is more suitable for a team with defensive tactics, his performance in Southampton is also quite good, otherwise he would not be able to put Argentina's main goal on the bench.

Southampton soon launched an attack again. De Bruyne took the ball in the middle and was about to break through. Gabi, who returned to the defense, was brought down directly, and Gabi received a yellow card.

Ji Ya shook his head. Atletico Madrid's rough style is not a day or two. Gabi himself is a fierce defensive midfielder, but after taking a card, he will obviously be a teacher.

De Bruyne took the free kick himself. The ball bypassed the wall, but it was still saved by Oblak.

Originally, Ji Ya thought that the opponent's defense would not be too much, but soon, he began to feel the opponent's ferocity.

Three minutes later, Cancelo was about to break through on the wing, but was brought down by Saul, who received a yellow card.

After another 2 minutes, Lukaku was going to break through from the wing, but was brought down by Felipe directly. Felipe got Atletico Madrid's sixth yellow card in this game (including Torres's two), but Lukaku suffered a minor injury and was forced to end.

Ji Ya had a headache now. He finally replaced Lukaku with Dembele instead of letting Du Yue play. After all, he had to maintain the pressure on the wing at this time.

This made Ji Ya regret it a bit later.

However, after Dembele came on the field, he quickly showed his own characteristics. He began to take the ball on the wing and continued to break through. threaten.

In 7 minutes, Dembele made a corner kick after breaking through from the side. De Bruyne's corner kick found Van Dijk, and the Dutchman's header was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Southampton's offensive has gradually suppressed Atletico Madrid. Although under such circumstances, Atletico Madrid's defense has become stronger and stronger, but the pressure exerted by Southampton has also begun to become more and more!

However, Atletico Madrid's defense is still very stubborn, especially Godin, who has completely demonstrated the level of a top central defender, constantly clearing Southampton's offense through confrontation.

And some shots, even if he didn't stop them, it would be difficult to avoid Oblak's ten fingers.

If you want to break through such a defense, you still have to make a fuss in the penalty area.

Southampton's two wings began to become more active. Mane and Dembele kept retreating to get the ball, and then used their breakthroughs from the two ribs to create opportunities. This made Atletico Madrid's defense a little passive. I have to push out more, so that Mane and Dembele can be less arrogant.

With Mane and Dembele active, Southampton's two full-backs seem less conspicuous.

It was in this situation that they teamed up to complete the first goal!

Dembele pulled out of the penalty area to catch the ball and attracted Felipe, but Cancelo entered the penalty area diagonally. Dembele passed the ball in time and the ball was received by Cancelo. The Portuguese started when he was close to the bottom line. Foot cross!

The ball flew directly to the back point. Mane's previous retreat also emptied Atletico Madrid's defense. Alonso caught the ball at the back point. Godin went to make up for it, but Alonso immediately Pass the ball back to the goal!

The ball arrives!

Vardy threw off Hernandez during the run and took the first shot!

Faced with this close-range shot, Oblak had no choice but to watch the ball hit the net!

Huge cheers from the Southampton fans immediately sounded in the stands!

Sixteen minutes into the second half, Southampton equalized the score!

Atletico Madrid's tenacious defense lasted only 6 minutes!

"Attack, keep attacking, we want to win!"

Many Southampton fans began to shout loudly, and their shouts were the wishes of the Southampton players.

That's right, what they want is victory, and it doesn't seem too satisfying to win a ball. They should win a few more!

After all, it is quite rare to encounter one less opponent.
