Chapter 13 The troubles of happiness
Regardless of whether Li Qingshan can start or not, CCTV has also arranged a live broadcast of the Copa del Rey.For the Chinese media, as long as there are teams with Chinese players, they will naturally arrange live broadcasts first.
"Although Li Qingshan scored crazy goals in the Chinese Super League and in the AFC Champions League, he still needs to prove his strength in La Liga and the five major European leagues."
Before the game started, Duan Xuan and Xu Yang, the old partners, had already started chatting.
"According to the starting information we got, Li Qingshan really lived up to expectations in this game and was assigned to the starting position." Xu Yang said.
"I came off the bench in the first game and started the game in the second game. This rhythm made us a little uncomfortable. It feels so smooth, haha." Duan Xuan joked.
This is indeed the case. In the past, when Chinese players went abroad, where did Li Qingshan go so smoothly, most of them were unable to enter the big list for several consecutive games, and then the domestic fans hoped that they could be placed on the big list.When I was finally able to be included in the roster in some unimportant games, I was looking forward to whether I could have a chance to play.Even if he played at the last moment of the game and was able to touch the ball, it could be commented by the Chinese media as "this is XXX's first touch in the game."
As for Li Qingshan, he seemed to be doing very well in Atletico Madrid. On the fourth day at Atletico Madrid, he came off the bench in the game and scored a goal.Four days later, the second game started.Not to mention Duan Xuan, even the fans are not too used to this rhythm.
Fans, after Li Qingshan signed with Atletico Madrid, some people still worry about whether Li Qingshan can withstand the pressure of living in the team, whether he can withstand the pressure in the competition with big-name players like Diego Costa and Villa , looking for opportunities.
Unexpectedly, their worries were in vain.
For Li Qingshan, he didn't feel any pressure at all.He even defeated Bayern, what else is he afraid of?
Before coming to Atletico Madrid, Raiola analyzed Atletico Madrid's form with him.Basically, his competitors are Villa and Costa, but Atletico Madrid is fighting on the third line. It is impossible for these two people to play all games. He can definitely get considerable playing time, as long as he can seize the game The opportunity of the game, scoring more goals, it seems logical to squeeze out one of them to occupy the main position.
This is derived from absolute confidence in one's own strength.Li Qingshan believes that his role on the field will definitely not be worse than that of Villa or Diego Costa!
No, in the first game he came, when the team needed to strengthen the offense, Simeone's first choice was himself.What does this mean?This shows that he is at least the third pick of the striker.And all he needs to do is to prove in front of Simeone that he is worthy of starting.
At this time, the TV screen began to switch to the Mestalla Stadium, and players from both sides lined up and walked out of the player channel.
In this game, Simeone made rotation adjustments in the three lines of forward, midfielder and back line.The goalkeeper is undoubtedly Courtois. On the back line, Alderweireld got the chance to play, while the main central defender Godin got a rotation. He didn't even follow the team to the Mestalla Stadium.In the midfield, Juanfran, Raul Garcia, Gabi, and the young player Jilavoji, this is a combination of the main force plus a regular substitute plus a youth player. bold.On the forward line, Li Qingshan and Diego Costa are naturally partners.Villa, on the other hand, got a rest and did not enter the squad for the game.The substitute striker sitting on the bench is Adrian.
When Valencia coach Piqi got Atletico Madrid's starting list, his heart was a little more stable.At least the opponent's starting lineup was pretty close to his guess, giving this game a good sign.
He let Mathieu play as a central defender. In terms of height and confrontation, only Mathieu in Valencia seems to be able to barely compete with Li Qingshan.He is still worried about whether Mathieu can prevent Li Qingshan's header. He sent another Ricardo Costa who weighed 86 kilograms to assist Mathieu in the central defender position. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to defending Atletico Madrid's high-altitude ball.
So much so that when Li Qingshan stood in the middle circle and was about to kick off, he could still hear the opposing coach shouting from the side.
It's just that Li Qingshan's Spanish is not very good, he can barely hear some words such as "high-altitude ball" and "pay attention to defense".
Presumably to make their guards pay attention to defending high-altitude balls?
Li Qingshan guessed.
Sure enough, when the game started, Atletico Madrid discovered that the Valencia players restricted the space of Atletico Madrid players on the wing very narrowly, and did not give them room to play the ball on the wing.
Simeone made tactical arrangements for Valencia before the game, creating more chances for crosses from the side to allow Li Qingshan to compete for the top.But now it seems that Valencia has very strict restrictions on Atletico Madrid's wide crosses.
After a few attempts from the wide area without finding space, Raul García is ready to force a cross in the face of the opponent's pressing on the wide area, even if it touches the defender, and can create a corner. What.
However, Raul Garcia forcibly hit Guardado with a cross and did not pop out of the bottom line. Instead, he was picked up by goalkeeper Guaita after decelerating.
Guaita threw the ball, but in the face of Atletico Madrid's almost suffocating midfield siege, Valencia failed to pass the ball a few times before Atletico Madrid regained the ball.
This is the style of Simeone's team. The defense covers almost every corner of the pitch, creating tremendous pressure on the opponent through siege without hesitation and tough physical confrontation.
After Atletico Madrid regained the possession of the ball, Gabi received the ball from the wing, and he did not pass the ball near the bottom line, but made a gesture to pass it at 45 degrees.
Valencia's penalty area was like a formidable enemy. Their four defenders and two defensive midfielders all retreated into the penalty area, preparing to encircle Li Qingshan with their superior numbers.
However, Gabi just made a fake move. With a flick of his ankle, he swept the ball to the outside of the penalty area. Since both midfielders retreated into the penalty area, the gap there was released.
Li Qingshan, who was heading towards the top of the penalty area, suddenly changed direction and withdrew from the penalty area, catching the defenders by surprise.
By the time they reacted, Li Qingshan had adjusted his pace and swung his thigh outside the penalty area.
"Li Qingshan shoots!!"
The football drew a white line in the air. The speed of the ball made the goalkeeper Guaita have no time to react, and the football flew into the goal!
Valencia's defender feels a little crazy at the moment. Before the game, the head coach has been emphasizing that he must defend against Li Qingshan's header, and the statistics presented by the coach are also quite convincing. The opponent is tall, and last season's The vast majority of goals are headers. When the opponent is about to pass, the team naturally has to gather the advantage of numbers to defend.
But Li Qingshan suddenly ran out of the penalty area and shot a long shot.
This doesn't follow the rules.
Even the head coach of Valencia, Picci, was quite helpless with this ball. His pre-match preparations were arranged around the threat of the opponent's header. The game during this period also showed that Atletico Madrid is indeed in this game I want to take advantage of Li Qingshan's header by crossing from the side.
When he saw Atletico Madrid's cross from the wing blocked, he was quite proud.I should be a step ahead of Simeone in terms of tactical arrangements.
But the situation suddenly changed on the field. The opponent's big center suddenly threw the ball outside the penalty area and turned around. He directly hit the goal with a heavy shot, which caught everyone off guard. He couldn't even blame the players on the field, because all of this was He arranged the tactics.
"Less than 5 minutes into the game, Li Qingshan blasted Valencia's goal with a long shot from outside the penalty area! Since landing in La Liga, Li Qingshan has scored in two consecutive games. No effect. And this is another long-range shot. Since the last time he faced Bayern, Li Qingshan used a groundbreaking long-range shot to blast Neuer's goal. This time he consciously withdrew from the penalty area. A long-range shot came. It seems that the quality of his long-range shots is quite reliable. Li Qingshan has made great progress over the past year. Now, he is not just a striker who can only rely on headers! He is now outside the penalty area His long shots are also extremely threatening," Duan Xuan said.
After losing the first goal, all Valencia's tactical arrangements were broken.If they don't want to lose at home, they must strengthen their offense.
However, this season's Valencia's tactical organization is very loose. Picchi took office in a hurry and did not have time to complete the transformation of Valencia.
Li Qingshan's goal in less than 5 minutes opened the situation for the team.
The game after that was fine.
In the No.16 minute of the game, Atlético de Madrid launched a counterattack directly after stealing the ball in midfield. Gabi went straight to find Diego Costa. Costa did not stop the ball in the penalty area and shot a low shot, almost breaking Valencia. goal.
With the goal continuously threatened, Valencia did not dare to rush to continue to attack.
With Valencia in defense, Atletico Madrid's offense did not receive too good results. No. 405 minutes, Gabi's midfielder made a diagonal pass from the left to the penalty area. Diego Costa was unguarded but stopped. The ball was made a mistake, the ball was cut off by Mathieu to make a clearance, and then the first half ended.
As soon as the second half started, Valencia was ready to launch a wave of offense. No.408 minutes, Guardado made a diagonal pass from the left to the middle of the penalty area, and Miranda's clearance almost made an own goal!
Then Valencia corner kick did not pose a threat.
In the No.701 minute of the game, Atletico Madrid won a corner kick.When Li Qingshan jumped high, surrounded by several defensive players, and headed the ball into the goal, Valencia's head coach slumped on the coach's bench.
The game has lost its suspense at this point.
Even in the No. 90 minute of the game, Valencia relied on Postiga to grab a point in the middle to get back a city, but Atletico Madrid still won a [-]-[-] victory at the Mestalla Stadium, which was the first round of the two rounds. The Copa del Rey game laid the foundation for victory.
Li Qingshan scored twice in the second game representing Atletico Madrid, reflecting the super high scoring efficiency.
After seeing Li Qingshan head into the second goal, Simeone was already thinking about Li Qingshan, Diego Costa and Villa's starting options.
These three are such excellent forwards, which two should you choose to start?
Simeone is in blissful troubles.
