In the first leg of the Champions League in midweek, Atletico Madrid also drew 0-0 with Porto. Whether you can keep 1 point depends entirely on VAR. The winner of the other team is handball first. Suarez and Felix, the first two strikers on the spot, did not show the strength of Atletico Madrid nearly two years ago. On the other hand, on Simone's tactical chessboard, this combination should only be Plan B. This season, Atletico Madrid's midfield and frontcourt personnel are unprecedented, and Simone prefers a more oppressive and flexible offensive strategy.
In this game, Atletico Madrid's offensive partners were replaced by Gleizman and Correa, which made people return to the good times three or four years ago. De Paul started instead of the injured Lemal, but he was organized in such a forward position and could not give full play to his special skills. Using the powerful two-wing straight-line assault force, Atletico Madrid suppressed its opponent, but faced the embarrassing situation that there was no fulcrum in the restricted area. On the other hand, in Bilbao, both offense and defense made a fuss in the middle, and at least three single-handedness was enough to change the situation, but the shooter missed the opportunity because of his soft feet. Two of them were kicked out by Inniki Williams. Unconsciously, he handed over the record of 200 consecutive appearances in the league, only a stone's throw from the record of 202 consecutive appearances in La Liga history.
Just as the Spanish national team has never been interested in the striker, Williams-so called because his brother Nico Williams has become a regular substitute for the first team-has been working hard, but has never played the leading role. In the 55th minute, Simone changed three players in a row, and soon replaced Correa with Felix, trying to change the rhythm and break through the battle. A large number of personnel adjustments show the strength of the Atletico bench and have indeed brought positive changes. Carrasco led the counter-attack, but Suarez was too far away from the goal to generate enough explosive power to fight one-on-one. Then Lorant made an assault with the ball on the right, and the peripheral low shot post popped up. But these attacks, Felix came late and didn't run to the threat receiving area.
In the 78th minute, Felix's chance came. Hardly had he started to break the ball when his opponent caught him. Referee Hill Manzano blew the game, but showed Felix a yellow card, explaining that his swinging back hit his opponent's face. Felix was so angry that his face was covered with blood that he pointed at the referee's nose and said, "You are crazy.". Without a moment's hesitation, Hilmanzano raised the yellow card for the second time, then took out the red card and sent Felix off in amazement. At the scene of the incident, Atletico Madrid players begged, and the TV broadcast also caught the mouth of the perpetrator. Everyone knows what it means to scold the referee.
Felix walked quickly out of the lawn with his head buried, and broke out at the moment when he was about to enter the stadium passage, kicking the air hard to vent his anger. At that moment, he just stepped on the Atletico team emblem beside the stadium. Just last year, when Atletico Madrid played Betis, Brazilian Rorty also advised the opposing player Emerson not to trample on his team's team emblem when he left. Someone immediately ridiculed on the Internet: "Since February this year, Felix has received more red cards than goals." Red card is not a big deal for a young and energetic player, but if you don't score goals for half a year, you won't play a few good games a year. For a player who is known as a genius and has a sky-high transfer fee of 65.438+26 billion euros, it is by no means a situation that can be clearly stated in one or two sentences.
Almost all Atletico Madrid people are complaining about the penalty, accusing the referee and safeguarding the interests of their players. Savage believes that the referee can't give a yellow card just because a player said something. Andrea Beltas, captain of Atletico Madrid, may get a ticket for his aggressive attitude and remarks. He first shouted to the fourth referee: "This referee is too bad. Don't come again. " Then he stepped into the stadium, pointed to Hill Manzano and said, "Never come here again, never!" These words and deeds are recorded.
However, as guests of various media, the judges have different views. Pé rez Brewer, a guest of Radio Marca, thought that the referee had "excellent law enforcement" and Felix's red card was "no problem". After the game, Simone also praised Hilmanzano's law enforcement level and said: "As far as things are concerned, there are many yellow cards in this game. In Felix's case, you can ask the referee in a more polite tone. If the party is not Jo? o, but someone else, you can not be punished. "
